NICHOLSON, BART.-AN APPLICATION FOR RELEASE REFUSED. -----___ _ This bankrupt was described as of many addresses, also Church-place, Clapham, one of the directors of the Patent Carriage Co., and to-day he came up to be released from custody. ' - - The debts are about £1,781, Capt. Culpepper being a detaining creditor for £352. Amongst the general list of creditors are several well-known West-end tradesmen. Mr. Sargood, on behalf of a creditor, objected to the mode in which the notices had been given. They were posted on Saturday evening, and did not reach the solicitor to the creditors until Monday, while the case was being proceeded with to-day. The Court must be informed that this was a case in which the bankrupt had contracted debts, aid left without the slightest prospect of being able to pey them, and therefore the order of discharge ought certainly to stand over until the choice of assignees. Mr: It. Griffiths said be opposed the order of discharge on behalf of Captain Culpepper; who was a creditor for £350, on account of an yearly furnished house let to the bankrupt. Captain Culpepper had to sue the baronet who defended the case, and thus ran up the expenses. Mr. Lucas, for the bankrupt, said that his client was prosecuting a claim to a bakery in Scotland, and therefore it could not be said that ho bad contracted debts without a reasonable expectation of being able to pay. Mr. Sargood—He calls himself a baronet, sir. His Honour adjourned the application until the choice HER MAJESTY. WINDSOR CASTLE, July 4. The Queen, with her Royal Highness Princess Helena, drove in the grounds yesterday afternoon. Her Royal Highness Princess Louise rode in the Home Park.

Application refused. IN RE THE REV RALPH LIONEL TOLLEMACHE. This bankrupt was described as of several addresses, now a prisoner for debt, clerk in holy orders, and to-day he applied for his release. The bankruptcy is ascribed to "want of means by reason of the continued and unjustifi able interference of my uncle, the. Hon. Frederick James Tollemache, M.P. for Grantham." As there were other bankruptcy proceedings before the Court in this matter, his Honour declined to interfere until they were completed. Mr. Sargood—ln other words, he must stop in prison. His Honour—Yes, the application is refused. POLICE INTELLIGENCE,-This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A NICE COACHMAN.—James King, a gentleman's coach man, was charged before Mr. Knox with being drunk and with furious driving. Elam, 189 C, said that about one o'clock this morning he heard some one shouting in Oxford-street, and on going to the corner of Duke-street he found the defendant sitting on the box of a brougham, the horso being on the pave ment. The defendant was very drunk, and had twice driven his horse on the pavement, once having been stopped by two gentlemen. He detained the defendant till another constable came up, and then took the defendant to the station, and the horse and brougham were sent to the green-yard. The defendant said his horse was blind. In pulling his horse ho unfortunately pulled the wrong rein. _ _ _ The employer of the defendant said he sent him last night to take up some ladies, but he failed to do so, and he (witness) heard no more of him till he was informed that ho was locked up. The defendant had done a good deal of damage to the brougham in an earlier part of the day, and he (witness) had no doubt now that he was not sober then, although ho pretended that the damage was through an accident. He intended to discharge him. Mr. Knox said that was the best course the master could adopt ; and as the defendant would lose his situation he should only fine him 10s. If the master thought proper he could sue the defendant for the amount of damage to the brougham. THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JULY 5, 1865.. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. CARLISLE RACES-TUESDAY. NEWMARKET JULY MEETING. Who is there that does not like this, the most .Igreeable of all the gatherings at Newmarket in the course of tho year? True, the sport may not be first-rate, or the Lquster large, but for that latter reason more especially is the other side of the ditch very pleasant quarters in the glorious weather we aro now enjoying. We are freed from the mob of the Two Thousani, Cesarewitch or Cambridgeshire days, and the Long Vacation has happily dispersed that dange rous and irregular body of cavalry which the beaks of the Cam send forth on these occasions. The July meeting is in fact the quiet, and, therefore, the enjoyable one of the year. The Stakes are, of course, the most interesting f6ature of the first day, or, indeed, of the week. Last year the meet ing of the The Duke and Liddington caused more than usual excitement, and the victory of the latter more than usual difference of opinion as to the respective merits of the pair. This year the dead heat at Stockbridge. between Robin Hood . and the Student invested their second meeting in the July with an interest which otherwise would have been lacking to the race. At Tattersall's on Monday Mr. Merry's colt was a very decided favourite; an en route from town this morning as little as sto 4 was taken about him. He went back in the betting, however, before the racit'g com menced, and Robin Hood was first favourite. The a;bsurdly late hour-5 o'clock— at which the race was set, precludes our making any remarks on the result. Sweepstakes of 25 sovs each, for 2-yr-old colts, Bst 101 b, and fillies, Bst 71b.

They run thus to the corner of the plantation, when Robin Hood headed Wolsey, the latter also giving way to Student as they entered the dip.

Last night about a quarter before 10 o'clock a fire burs out in the cane warehouse of Messrs. Myers, Southwa rk bridge-road. The premises comprised a block of buildings five stories high, these being the warehouses of Messrs. Myers, a store house on the east side, part unlet, and partly, as it was understood, in. the occupation, as a storehouse, of Messrs. Moses and Son ; that to the west which had not been occupied, and still further to the west the " Metro politan" publichouse, in the occupation of Mr. Johnston, which has escaped injury. About 12 o'clock the walls on the south of the warehouse of Messrs Myers fell outwards into Castle• street with a terrific crash, knocking in the front portions of several of the houses opposite, and com pelling the inmates to make a precipitate retreat The roadway was completely blocked by the falling masses of brickwork and timber, and the work of the firemen was for 1.1, time suspended. At one o'clock the fire was got well under, and all fear of further damage was at an end. The pile of warehouses destroyed was of very large extent, being five stories high and a proportionate depth and width. There is nothing but the bare shell of the buildings left standing, and the loss of property must be very great. The concourse of people that assembled was very large, and the exertions of the police were severely taxed to procure the necessary room for the firemen to pursue their operations. Several persona were severely injured by the falling of de tached portions of the walls and burning timbers, and it is stated that some of the inmates of the houses in Castle street were so much bruised by the falling of the back wall of Messrs. Myers' warehouse as to necessitate their removal to the hospital. A fire took place yester da y morning on the premises of Mrs. E. Geach, refreshment -house keeper, 434, West Strand, Conductor George Elsden arrived with the Royal Society's escape from St. Martin's Church, and hearing that some persons were still in the building he pitched his machine, and having entered the second floor, found Mrs. Geach undressed, and insensible from the smoke. There was in the same room Elizabeth Baylis, a servant, who was also in her night-clothes. These two persons he placed in his escape and brought down in safety. He next entered the first floor, and found a Mr. and Mrs. Smith, and rescued them, The flames were happily confined to the lower part of the building, which is better known as the Lowther Hotel. About the same time another fire took place in the premises belonging to Mr. Nicolas, artificial flower maker, 52, Chiswell-street, Finsbury. The upper portion of the building was filled with lodgers, including a Mr. and Mrs. Thompson and throe children, who befor3 the escape had time to arrive rushed down stairs, and the children's clothes were literally burnt on their backs. The other in mates managed to effect their escape from a side door. A large quantity of water was poured upon the flames, but the roof fell in. Mr. Nicolas' premises were all but de stroyed, and serious damage was done to the adjoining pro perty. Another fire broke out on the premises of Mr. Willson, paperhanger and decorator, 8, Amherst-road, Hackney. At the time of the outbreak there were a servant-girl, a young man, and three children in the house. The latter were got out, but a child was left in the second-floor back. The servant-girl was running about the street in a state of frenzy, when Conductor Thompson, after lowering his escape to pass under the railway arch, raised it again and entered the front room second floor. The smoke being in tense he was obliged to retreat, and taking his fly-ladder to the back, pitched it against the leads and drew it after him, and then placed it against the window. He entered, and found the child in bed, almost suffocated. He took the child in his arms and brought it down the ladder, for which he was loudly applauded. , MONEY COINED.—In the year 1864 the large number 8,656,352 sovereigns were coined at the Mint, 1,758,490 half-sovereigns, 1,861,200 florins, 4,518,360 shillings, 4,253,040 sixpences, 4,158 fourpences, 1,335,048 threepences, 4,752 silver twopences, 7,920 silver pence, 3,440,640 copper pence, 537,600 halfpence, 2,508,800 far things.

DR. PRITCHARD.—This trial is now going on in Edinburgh, and will form a pretty specimen of the phar• maceutical poisons used in medicine, against which the British College of Health, on behalf of the Society of Hygeists, has protested for the last 40 years. Let the public look to it !—British College of Health, Euston-road, Loudon, July 4, 1865. WESTMINSTER. A COUNTESS ON A " STRETCHER."—A very handsomely dressed woman, about 50 years of age, who gave her name Countess De Lisle Mayes, was brought in the charges from the Cottage-road Station, Pimlico, charged with being drunk and incapable of taking care of herself. Mr. Arnold—What does your ladyship say to the charge ? The Countess-1 went out at about half-past seven to call on my sister-in-law, and returned for some letters I wanted, and two gentlemen came up to insult mo. Mr. Arnold—What answer have you to make to the charge of being drunk, and incapable of taking care of yourself ? Countess—l was certainly not drunk. Mr. Arnold—Let me hear the evidence. Marcus Cronins, 149 B, said that at a quarter past nine last night he found her in Halkin-street, Belgrave-square, with a hundred people round her. Sho was very drunk. Mr. Arnold—What made yoil consider her drunk ? Constable—She could not stand. She was so drunk that she fell down and cut her nose. She was so drunk that she could not get up. I asked her to go away, but she would not, and we had to carry her to the station-house on the stretcher. Countess—l was not drunk. Mr. Arnold—ls there any other witness ? James Brook 311 B, said, I saw her and was with her a' the station all night. She was drunk and kept singing. She made a song of the Lord's prayer, and when she had done that changed it to something else. She smelt very much of liquor. Mr. Arnold—What have you to say now ? Countess—l was not drunk; the crowd trode upon my dress and threw me down. Mr. Arnold—l can have no doubt that you were drunk after the evidence I have heard. Countess —I was surrounded by people. Mr. Arnold—ls this a romance of yours, or are you really Countess de Lisle Hayes, of 60, Mount-street, Grosvenor square ? Countess —I am really what I have described myself. Mr. Arnold—l am sorry to hear it. Your conduct has been most disgraceful. You are fined ss. for being drunk. The Countess handed the money to the gaoler. THAMES. THE LAW OP COPYRIGHT—IMPORTANT TO NEWSAGENTS. —Mr. Rosier, a newsagent and vendor of periodical publi cations in Langley-place, Commercial-road-east, applied to Mr. Partridge for a warrant to arrest Clarence Harcourt, an attorney, of 2, King's Arms-yard, Coleman-street, for attempting to extort money from him under false pre tences. _ Mr. Rosier said the circumstances of the case were both extraordinary and peculiar. The proprietors of a serial publication, called Bow Bells, had given away with the current numbers two wood engravings, " The return from Hawking," after Landseer's celebrated picture, which had been engraved, and " A Distingushed Member of the Humane Society." The newsagents and ven dors of serials obtained no profits whatever on the distribution of the pictures. They were presented gratis, and wero a source of trouble and inconvenience. Nor was the distribution:of the wood engravings on com mon paper likely to affect the sale of the original steel en gravings, which commanded a high price. An attorney, named Clarence Harcourt, had, however, forwarded a printed circular demanding compensation for an invasion of the copywright in the pictures belonging to " Messrs. Moore, M'Queen, and Company (Limited)." Who those parties were he could not tell, but he knew who Clarence Harcourt was. A poor widow, living in a bye street, who sold one dozen copies of Bow Bells weekly, by which she obtained a profit of 4d., was served with one of the circulars, and another letter, and £l2 was demanded of her to settle the matter. The agent who served him, and who was an extensive dealer in serial publications, had not been served with any notice. One of the engravings bad been given away with the Illustrated Times ten years ago. One of the pictures was given away with Bow Bells on the 18th January last, and the second issue was on the 24th of May. Mr. Partridge asked if the publisher of Bow Bells had been communicated with, to which Mr. Rosier said the publisher could not be found. Mr. Partridge—lt seems to me, if there is any invasion of a copyright, the proprietors and publisher only should be proceeded against, and notice given to the poor people who bind these serial publications. A gentleman in Court said that Harcourt had sent out a hundred at least of letters similar to the ono in Mr. Rosier's pc ssesion. Mr. Rosier said the last latter on which he principally founded his application, was as follows : "Moore, McQueen, and Oompany (Limited) Yourself. "My . clients are not desirous to deal harshly with you for themfringement of their copyright, and have instructed me to inform you that if £5 be paid to me on or before Tuesday next, the 4th inst., in satisfaction of damages, together with £2 2s. for my costs, no further steps will be taken against you ; but, if not paid by the above date, I shall have no alternative but to continue the proceedings against you.—l am, sir, your obedient servant, " CLARENCE HARCOURT. " No. 4, King's Arms-yard, London." _ _ _ Mr. Rosier, in conclusion, said that similar demands had been made on others. He considered it an infamous attempt to extort money. Mr. Partridge could not say that Mr. Harcourt was a cer tificated attorney, his name was not in the law list. He would not go into the question of copyright, but if persons did pirate articles or engravings, and sold them or distributed them, they were liable to damages. Ho would advise the applicant to take no notice of the letter. Mr. Rosier—l do my business in a straightforward man ner, and I think it is an attempt to extort money, Mr. Partridge—Consult a solicitor. The proprietors and publisher of Bow Bells ought to assist the vendors. Mr. Thomas Thirdgould, of No. 31, Oxford-street, Step ney, produced a writ served upon him by Mr. Harcourt, at the suit of Henry McQueen and Earnest Gambart, for invasion of copyright. He was in the same predicament as Mr. Rosier.

The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. THE RESIGNATION OF THE LORD CHANCELLOR. It being pretty generally known that Lord Westbury would. this evening make a statement relative to the cir cumstances that led to his resignation of the office of Lord Chancellor there was a very full attendance of peers. The members of the House of Commons were present in very considerable numbers, and the space before the throne was very fully attended. In the upper galleries there were a number of ladies and some of the leading members of the corps diplomatic. The LORD CHANCELLOR, at a quarter past fiv©, rose from his seat, and said that he felt it to be his duty, out o . f the respect which he owed to their lordships, to call their attendance there to-day, that he might personally announce to them that he tendered to her Majesty the resignation of his office, and that - te r Majesty had been gr ciously pleased to accept that resignation. The step ho took yesterday ho should have taken some weeks ago if he had followed the dictates of his own conscience. (Hear, hear.) But he felt that he could not take such a step without receiving the sanction of the members of the Government, of which he was ono. As far as he was personally concerned, possessing, as ho did, the personal acquaintance of the noble lord at the head of the Government, he felt his honour was perfectly safe if he followed their advice. He therefore fol lowed their advice rather than his own inclination. He felt that the holder of the great seal should not stand in the position of an accused person, and I felt that I should retire from it, and meet any accusation in the cha racter of a private person. But my noble friend at the head of the Government combatted that opinion, and he thought with great justice it would not do to admit ',as a prin ciple of political conduct, or the consequence would be that whoever wanted to . drive the Lord Chancellor from office would succeed. When these charges were first made he entreated to be allowed to resign. When the committee of the House of Commons was moved for he remembered his solicitations, but again be submitted to to the wishes of his colleagues. When however, the late mation was announced- in the House of Commons, he again received my request that the motion might be rendered unnecessary by his resignation. But, my noble friend thought it was my duty still to persist, and accordingly my resignation, anxious as he wished to make it, was postponed in the manner he described till yesterday. It was not his business to question the dnision at which the other house had arrived with respect to him ; but ho could assure their lordships that he had not been inten tionally guilty of any dereliction of his duty. lie ad verted to the different law reforms which he had, with the assistance of Parliament been instrumental in pro moting, • and much regretted that ho had not been able to bring to maturity what ha had so much at heart, a full digest of the laws of the country ; but ho trusted that that great work would. not be aban doned, but that both private members and noble and learned lords would unite in its promotion. He looked forward with confidence to the continuance - of the progress that had been made in the improvement of the ad ministra tion_ of justice, and he referred particularly to the alterations that had been introduced into Chancery, the benefits of which world be soon expe rienced. • The noble and learned lord, in feeling terms alluded to his long connection with Parliament, and to the kindness and consideration he had invariably re ceived from their lordships. He then resumed his seat on the woolsack amid much' cheering. The house shortly after adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS—This EVENING. The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. ROYAL COMMISSION. • Colonel CLIFFORD, the Yeoman Usher of the Black Rod, summoned the. Speaker to the bar of the Upper HOuse to hear the Royal Assent given by Oommission to several private bills. THE ROMAN CATHOLIC COLLEGES. Mr. HENNESSY asked the Secretary for the Home Department a question with reference to a statement alleged to have been made by Mr. Fortescue in his address to the electors of Louth, to the effect that the conduct of the Government, with refeience to the Catholic Colleges in Ireland, had the approval of the Roman Catholic bishop. He had received a letter from the Catholic Bishop of Tuam denying the accuracy of that statement. Sir G. GREY said that there had been no communica tion between the Government and the Roman Catholic clergy on the subject, but he understood they were favour able to the course adopted by the Government. The house then adjourned. AQUATICS, ROYAL THAMES YACHT CLUB. A match for vessels of the third-class belonging to this club was sailed yesterday for a prize value 40 sovs. Course —From Erith, round the Nore, and back to Erith. The following ya hts entered :—The Vampire, 19 tons, Mr. Cuthbert; the Kitten, 13 tons, Mr. Clabburn ; the Dudu, 14 tons, Capt. Baldock andMr.Rudge ; time allowance, half a minute per ton. The Kitten did not take up her station. The Queen of the Thames steamer,, accompanied the match, having on board Lord de Ros, the vice-commodore, members of the club, and their friends. A portion of the band of the 2d Life Guards was present. _ _ The yachts were started at 1140, a nice fresh breeze blowing from S.S.E., which, with the strength of the ebb ing tide, sent them fleeting down the river. The Dudu, at starting, set a jib-headed topsail, and a slight lead on the Vampire's lee bow ; the latter vessel did not hurry to set a topsail, and without one passed on the Dudu's weather to the front. She then sent up a small jib-headed topsail, although the water was already playing in and-out her lee scuppers. The Dudu had a large and ugly setting jib hanging on her bowsprit, and it constantly caused her head to pay off to leeward ; the Vampire laid much closer to the wind, finding it necessary to luff up a trifle occasionally as the breeze caught her abeam, and sent her over on her chain plates. The two vessels arrived at Greenwich at 12 10, the Vampire hauling close to the wind with a lead of 300 yards. At 12 20, as Gravesend was neared, the breeze became still fresher, and the Dudu, realising the effects of her big jib, carried away her bow sprit, the spar going with a tremendous crash. She, of course, was instantly up in the wind and became useless for . further competition in the match, now totally devoid of interest. If more judgment had been exercised in canvass ing the vessel the mishap would, perhaps, have been avoided ; such a large head-sail was not needed—in fact it did harm, and to make things worse a topsail was set when she could barely stand up under it, increasing the strain upon the bowsprit. The Vampire soon afterwards got her topsail on deck, lowered the spar, and proceeded comfortably for the Nore, which lightship she rounded at 2 30 50, and, with the flood and wind (veering to S.S.W.), arrived at Erith at 6 12, winning the prize. Thus ended the last match of the season of this club on the river ; they float out with the ebb and come in with the flood, and Neptune rules the match. Extraordinary Cases of Poisoning in Sweden. ►STOCKHOLM June 311 It was not difficult to be foreseen that the trial of Pastor Lindback for the murders he had committed at Silbodal would not occupy much time after the qualified confession which had been made by him with regard to them, more especially when it is re membered that in this country the formalities of a trial are to a great extent superseded by the proceed ings which take place previously to the accused making his appearance before the high criminal tri bunal, where little occurs beyond the formal exami nation to which he is then subjected. In this in stance enough has been admitted by Lindback to justify the court in at once finding him guilty ; for, although he attempted to palliate his offences by assigning reasons for having committed them, such as that his victims were either incurables w ho were alike burdens to themselves 'incurables to his parish, or that, in giving them medicine for the purpose of curing them, the effect had been different from those which he had expected, the murder was so clearly established in every case that the judges could have no hesitation as to the sentence which they should pronounce. He was therefore at once condemned to be beheaded, and au early day will likely be fixed for his execution. It should, however, be mentioned that before being taken into court he was deprived of his eccle siastical vestments, and after sentence was pro nounced the prisoner in the first instance addressed the judge, and then the governor of the province, concluding with a most affecting speech to the crowd that had assembled, in which he admitted that in his youth he had yielded to temptations which had led him to the sad, miserable condition in which he was then placed, and strongly urged them to take warning by his fate, and asserted that though now deprived of all hope of much longer ex-: istence on earth, he still looked with confidence to ?leaven for pardoning mercy. After this address he bowed most profoundly, and left the bar in charge of the guards, with the same dignity and calmness with which he had been ac customed to descend from the pulpit in the parish on which he has brought so much misery. It is unnecessary at this time to refer to other matters, though the military manoeuvres at Axevallo and a contemplated reform in the navy are at this time attracting great notice throughout the king dom. • Foreign Mail Packet List.
