On Saturday last the working classes of Edin burgh had a h o liday, in order to carry out a grand demonstration of a Reform. It cannot be said that anything particular tookplace one way or the other, but at any rate there was the satisfaction of wit nessing great order prevailing, an d t h e var i ous speakers who spoke at the evening meeting, which followed the day affair, seemed to be Very quiet in their tone, compared to the effusions of intemperate eloquence which have lately startled many C i t i es and hamlets from their propriety. Of course there was the usual absurdity displayed in the mottoes and banners, all denoting extravagance and exag geration, more than any decided exposition of thought and sentiment ; but so long as the pro ceedings of such affairs are carried on quietly and orderly there is no reason to find fault with them. COUnCiiiOr FITE, who occupied the chair at the meet ingin the Corn Exchange, very truly congratulated the meeting on the orderly character of the display, and "unlike the demonstratiou which took place before the Reform Act of 1832, marked by threats of violence, but imbued with the conviction that ' right would triumph over might." This was in point of fact the best feature of the meetings both by day and night; but in this very respect they formed a striking contrast to the tone lately adopted by Mr. BRIGHT, and no doubt had he been there we should have heard a great deal of the usual unseemly talk about the power that would put down oppression, and such like phrases, that can be ingeniously twisted to mean anything, but which every one knows on such occasions are always understood to r-present pioneering to violence unless the imme diate object in question is conceded. Several letters of apology were read from members of Parliament, and Mr. MONCREIFF made some very sensible ob servations in his letter, when he said that while he was unwilling to refuse the request of his fellow citizens, he thought it desirable, in 'the present in stance, to follow the example of other members of the late Government in abstaining from tak ing part in any general agitation on the question of Reform. He was, he stated, a consistent Reformer, but he disagreed with the proposal on the subject of the Reform League, and which he understood to be embodied in the reso lutions. We suspect that this represents the opinions of many other members of Parliament, and of many public men who are sincere in the cause of Reform in principle, but object to the practice, now so pre valent, of dragging it forward in this manner, and mixing up other matters of an extraneous char acter. Perhaps there is no greater enemy to the cause of Reform than Mr. BRIGIIT himself, and nothing makes mode rate men more sceptical of the good results of introducing another measure of Reform into Parlia ment than this demand that is raised about man hood suffrage and such like absurdities. After Mr. BRIGIIT and his immediate followers, those who injured the cause of Reform the most are the old Whigs and their devoted adherents ; and we do not begrudge them the carcasms levelled at them by Mr. M'LAP.EN, M.P., who moved the resolution. lie said that the aristocratic Whigs of Edinburgh, who had crowded Reform platforms in 1832, had now deserted the cause, and become practically Tories—" Tories in all but this, that they desired that the Tories should come out of office in order that they should go in." To them he applied the lines in which BYRON expressed the comparison be tween ancient and modern Greeks : " So coldly sweet, so deadly fair, We start, for soul is wanting there." We think this designation is appropriate for the Whigs of the United Kingdom, and the hon. member might have added that when the Tories brought in a measure of Reform they refused it a hearing, and when they had forced themselves into office on false pretences, they did nothing, or worse than nothing. Such insincerity is a disgrace to any politician, and re dounds to the lasting discredit of the Whigs, but going to the other extreme and advocating very great and sudden changes in the representation will not answer either. Between these exaggerated views of the question of doing too much and too little lies the great medium which will the best suit the notions of the majority of the community, and the most readily accord with the principles upon which our Constitution is based. The great advantage of a regular issue of duly qualified official statistics has been abundantly proved in times of exceptional mortality from epi demic disease. In this country we rely, not without reason, on the most complete publicity for the best means of encountering any difficulty or danger. In this our conduct is very different from that of most continental nations, where it is usually thought politic on the part of the Government to keep back disagreeable intelligence, and where flourishing statements of public salubrity, commercial pros perity, and popular content usually imply there had been good reason for believing the contrary. The consequence of such a system naturally is that such statements entirely fail to restore confidence or lull apprehension, and a panic invariably increases the evil it dreads by exaggerating popular fears. In England on the contrary, though we are by no means insensible to the influence of sudden and unreasonable fear, it is a good deal allayed by the wise method adopted by our authorities of communicating the simple truth to the public. Perfect reliance is placed upon the official information, because it is known to be strictly accurate, and when wild tales of pestilence and disaster are circulated by the idle and mischiev ous they are speedily contradicted by a reference to the official record. A striking instance of this truth was given a short time back, when, on the decrease of cholera in London, the Registrar-General dis continued the plan which on its first outbreak he had wisely adopted of publishing daily returns of the mortality from both forms of the epidemic. No sooner was this regular information stopped than uneasiness and anxiety began to prevail, which were only allayed by the re-issue of the regular re turns. In compliance with the general wish, the Registrar has kindly continued this issue, notwith standing the additional trouble involved ; but we may suppose that he will soon abandon it, for we are happy to find that for the first time since the outbreak of cholera four months ago we have a blank day—a ret urn w i thout a single death from the dreaded epidemic. This is go o d news i n d ee d , and will give general relief. We had reason, it is true, to hope for the disappearance of the enemy before the advancing cold, but of late it has seemed disposed to linger am ong us, and there were not wanting prophets who foretold that it would make itself felt more or less during the winter months, to break out with full virulence on the approach of warm weather. It is impossible for any human prudence or exertion to guarantee our immunity next sum mer; but there is very much that may be done during the winter months to diminish the dan g er to the smallest possible degree. It is to be hoped the sharp lesson we have had will not be lost upon our local authorities, but that they will make themost of the time before. Now is the season for various sanitary reforms which would be dangerous in hot weather or in presence of a visitation of cholera, Long-standing nuisances, such as dust-heaps, offen sive drains, and other accumulations, which will not bear disturbance at other seasons of the year. The worst of it is, that no sooner does the imme diate danger pass by, and the public alarm subside, than the authorities fall back into their old dolce far neinte, and the ratepayers, though they grumble a little, are too much afraid of increased rates to be very energetic reformers. What is everybody's busi ness is nobody's business, more especially in those poor and populous quarters, where the chief danger lies. It is quite time that a better spirit was infused into this matter of sanitary reform. If half the energy were displayed about it that is shown in political agitation our tables of mortality would show a very different list of preventible deaths. If cholera does not often visit us, if other plagues threaten us and pass by, there are yet forms of pestilence always busy amongst us, mowing down strong and weak, aye and youth, together. That increasing prevalence of fever iu all its forms in the metroi,olis is a well iittested fact, and the public iniprovonents, unfor tunately, as yet only tend to iner;ase the evil of ov 'ercrom ding in wretched dwellings to which it is main ily due. We may well join heartily in the form of Thanksgiving yesterday read in all places of public= worship ; but " HEAVEN helps those who help themseives," and the best way of showing our grati tude to. tip.) PROVIDENCE who has stayed the plague among us will be to do all in our power to ame liorate tha t miserable condition of our lower classes which has had so much to do with the severity of the recent . outbreak of cholera. Ur. BEAcir, M.P., has made a few interesting observations upn public affairs at the Agricultural Show, on Saturday , of the Berks and North Hants division. He begaia by expressing an earnest hope that the represetr.tative institutions of England, " which have so often elicited the encomiums and eulogies of other n ado. is, might not be thought devoid of credit amongst our own countrymen." There is good reason for the enunciation of such a wish when we see the manner in which those time honoured institutions are decried by certain arrogant and presumptuous speakers of note and celebrity. As Mr. BEAC ii truly said,events of importance had so very rapidly succeeded each other of late that it was impossible to keep up an idea as to what they might lead to. A frightful pestilence has raged among men and cattle in this country, and a desolating war has been ruining the Continent. As the hon. mem ber said, very justly, we have had in the matter of Prussian success a striking instance of the difference which success or failure makes in the public estima tion. " Look, for instance, at Count BISMARCK ; he drove, rather than led, his country into war, and had disasters attended the Prussian arms he would have been execrated even by his own countrymen, as a reckless, unprincipled schemer ; but as success gilded his enterprises, he is now extolled as a great statesman, a man :of extended views, and of great wisdom." This is an admirable definition of the state of things, but it speaks very badly for the public morality of those who take such views of national events. Clpod and bad cannot alter to suit the ways of fickle fortune, and it is contrary alike to the principles which formed great countries and keeps them flourishing thus to make heroes and demigods of such empty schemers and tricksty statesmen. It is a great error in judg ment on the part of many people of the present day who should know better, and we are always glad to see it treated with just reprobation and scorn. Referring to the great improvements that had been make in rapidity of communication, Mr. BEACH said that great benefit ensued thereby to all the nations concerned through the rapid interchange of ideas. "It overrides all those prejudices which the re moteness of distant lands in former ages served to engender, and it will in future times aid all nations in extending the benefits of commerce, and make them contented with the advantages of trade rather than seek external aggrandisement." Such is very true, and if Prussia represents the glories of war, we may claim the triumphs of peace for this genera tion, and we are not afraid of the comparison that posterity will make. CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Sunday Evening. The Moniteur of last evening, under the head of latest news, says :—"Wc are authorised to contra dict the report which has been current to-day of an accident said to have caused the death of the Prince of Wales." The official part of the Moniteur states (rather tardily), that the " Emperor has received the letters by which his Royal Highness the Grand Duke of Hesse notifies the- birth of a princess, daughter of his Ilighness,the Prince Louis de Hesse and of her Royal Highness Madame the Princess Alice, born Princess of Great Britain and Ireland." Also that his Majesty has received the letters which put an end to the mission with which M. Rosales was charged at the French Court, as Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of the Republic of Chili. The following news is also from the Moniteur " King Victor Emmanuel arrived on the evening of the 15th instant at Padua. His Majesty was everywhere the object of hearty demonstration." According to the last news from Athens there is a conviction in Greece that the insurrection of which the island of Candia was the theatre is com pletely terminated. The Imperial Commission is occupied in making arrangements for grand instrumental concerts and grand Orpheonic festivals on the occasion of the Great Exhibition. The electi3n of Grand Rabbi of France took place on Friday. M. Isidor, Grand Rabbi of Paris, ob tained the majority of votes-22 out of 25. M. Klein, Grand Rabbi of Colmar, had two. One bulletin was illegible. The chief topic of consideration with the Paris papers to-day is the approaching expiration of the treaty of the 15th of September. They seem all of opinion that it will be strictly and faithfully carried out, but some of Ulm conjectured that there may be something ominous connected with the mission of General Fleury to Italy. The Lidependance Beige, a Brussels paper, is of opinion that a conci liatory arrangement will be effected between the Pope and the Italian Government, and asserts that the mission of General Fleury has for object to bring about such a consummation. THE DEPARTURE OF TIIE EMPEROR MAXIMILIAN FROM MEXICO.—lhe following is the despatch given by New York papers relative to the Emperor Maximilian's departure from Mexico :—" Washington, Nov. s.—Minis ter Romero to-day received the following letter by way of New Orleans, dated Vera Cruz, Oct. 26, 1866 Maximi lian left the City of Mexico on the 23d inst., resigning ver bally in favour of General Bazaine. General Bazaine en deavoured to persuade him to delay his departure until General Castelnau's arrival two days later ; but he de clined, and escorted by 890 Austrians proceeded to Ori zaba by cross reads, to avoid meeting with General Castel ban. Ile reached Orizaba yesterday, and is expected here to-morrow. The captain of the Austrian frigate Daduota states that as soon as Maximilian arrives he will at once Ittave for Europe. It is said that Maximilian will publish to-day a manifesto at Orizaba.

While he was entering the railway carriage a portmanteau accidentally fell upon his head, and so aggravated his illness as to oblige him to abandon all thoughts of going to Edinburgh. —Carlisle Journal. FATAL ACCIDENT.-1 fatal accident occurred on Thursday night at the Junior United Service Club, Charles-street, St. James's-square, to Colonel John Hen derson, late of her Majesty's itith Regiment of Foot. It appears that after dining at the club with two friends they all wont up to the billiard room, whichis at the upper part of the building. They played there till about 12 o'clock, when the colonel left them, as supposed to go to the closet, and he was found shortly afterwards lying at the bottom of the stairs in an insensible condition. Ho was attended at once by Mr. Tuthill, who tried all restorative means without effect, and by his advice the unfortunate gentle man was removed to Charing-cross Hospital about seven o'clock in the morning of Friday, but only lingered three hours, when ho died.

FLORENCE, Nov. 15, Evening. Baron Ricasoli has addressed a circular to the Italian prefects on the development of order in the interior of the kingdom. Speaking of Rome, he says:-- The Roman question still remains to be solved, but after the fulfilment of the September Convention that question can not, and must not, be the motive for agitation. The sovereignty of the Pope is placed by the September Con vention in the position of all other sovereignties. Italy has promised France and Europe to remain neutral between the Pope and the Romans, and to allow this last experiment to be tried of the vitality of an ecclesiastical principality without parallel in the civilised world. Italy must keep her promise, and await the certain triumph of her rights through the efficacy of the principle of nationality. All agitation having for pretext the Roman question must therefore be discouraged, prevented, and repressed. The double capacity of the Sovereign Pontiff furnishes some persons with a motive for confounding the political with the religious question, and disturbing with doubts the con sciences of the timid. The Italian Government does not desire to lesson the independence of the spiritual chief of Catholicism. The King's Government, in all its acts, has shown that it recognises no other rules than those of liberty and legality, and that it desires the ministers of religion to be neither privileged persons nor martyrs. To the chief of Catholicism are due, no doubt, guarantees for the free and independent exercise of his spiritual ministry. The King's Government, more than any other, is disposed to afford every guarantee for the maintenance of this liberty and independence, being convinced that this may be done without any injury to the rights of the nation. THE SUN, LuisL ON, AIONvAY E v ENING, NOVEMBER 19, 1866. IRELAND. DUBLIN, Saturday Evening. The Fenian convict, Denis Dowling Mulcahy, who was sent to Ireland from Pentonville on Wed yesterday brou g ht b e f ore th e for the p ur p ose o f assign ing Bench,eosudratyofevclenuienegn,,swas error on the record of his conviction. He was dressed in the usual convict clothes, and his face was no longer recognised by those who knew him, owing to the large beard and moustache which he formerly wore having been shaved away and his hair being closely cut. The court was crowded to inconvenience by persons anxious to see the con vict. Amongst others present was his sister, who was anxious to converse with him, but was prevented by the officers in charge ; but before he was removed she succeeded in shaking hands with him—a scene which caused some excitement in court. The pro ceedings O'Loghlen, junior counsel minctohemcaesnec,efd by Mr. formally yapplying that the pri soner might have " oyer of the record," and that he might be at liberty to assign error, and that counsel might be assigned to him, naming Mr. Butt, Q.C., Mr. Dowse, Q.C., and Mr. O'Lo g hl en . Aft er some purely formal proceedings the Chief Justice asked Mr. Butt whether it was his desire th a t th e case should be argued during the present term. Mr. Butt answered that he was most anxious, and that as a matter of fact the prisoner had a right to have the case decided as speedily as possible. It was further stated that the Attorney-General had been furnished with a copy of the assignment of error. The Crown, however, was not represented, and Mr. Longfield, Q.C., the law adviser to the Castle, alleged that the Attorney and Solicitor-General had not yet had time to consider the matter. A " four-day rule" was granted, and the prisoner was remanded to safe custody until further orders. In the court-yard a large body of persons had congregated to see the convict off, and who, as he emerged from the judge's entrance door, pressed forward to get a good view of him. They were, however, kept back by the cavalry police, who sur rounded the van. As the convict ascended the step of the van he turned round and saluted some persons whom he recognised in the crowd. As soon as he entered the van the cavalry police were ordered to draw sabres and escort it. The cortege then proceeded along Ormond quay, up Capel-street, Dorset-street, and the North Circular-road to Mountjoy Convict Prison, where the convict was delivered to the charge of the governor, Mr. Spread. The rule calling upon the Crown to join in error will expire ou the 21st inst., but it is competent fur the joinder to be. put in without delay, so that the convict may again be brought up at any moment. The next step will be to apply that the Crown join in a concillum, so as to have the case set down for argument, which cannot take place for four days afterwards, when the last day of term will have been reached. If the Court should decide in accordance with the arguments made in favour of Mulcahylmany, if not all, the convictions of the Fenian prisoners will be vitiated. A meeting of the Roman Catholic priests of Waterford, under the presidency of Bishop O'Brien, has been held, and a determination arrived at to support Mr. De La Poer, the Whig Ultramoutane candidate. But clerical opposition cannot effect as much here as in Tipperary, and the success of Cap tain Talbot is regarded as certain. The vagaries of Mr. M'Meehan have caused great amusement in Belfast, and some little excitement. All that his candidature can effect is to create a dis turbance at the nomination on Monday next, but he can scarcely entertain any serious intention of going to the poll. There have been great floods in Be!fast, attended with serious damage to property. FREE TRADE has, in truth, done wonders for us. Under it, our total imports have risen from £152,000,000 in 1854—this year in which the real value of our commerce, as distinguished from the official, began to be ascertained—to £271,000,000 in 1865 ; while our ex ports between the same dates rose from £115,00&,000 to £218,000,000. And, again, while our aggregate revenue has risen from .£52,763,t,0J iu 1845 to £67,812,000 in 1865, the aggregrate amount of taxation repealed over that im posed is been £21,000,000. JUVENILE BOOKS. We have already noticed some among the many claimants for juvenile favour this Christmas, but many yet remain to add to the list. First upon the list of Story Books comes Johnny Jordan and his Dog (George Routledge and Sons), by Mrs. Eiloart, the delightful authoress of "Ernie Elton," who last year proved such a pleasant addition to many a Christmas party. There is an old familiar saying, " Let me make the peoples' ballads, and I care not who makes their laws," uttered by one who was well acquainted with the mysteries of human nature. In like manner, it may be said, the successful author of a really favourite story-book exerts more powerful influence for good or evil than school or schoolmaster. Mrs. Eiloart has rapidly earned for herself a happy and enviable reputation as the Boys' delightful Story-Teller. The love of adventure, ay, and the love of mischief too, so inseparable from the " regular boy," here find safe and ample room for exercise. Ernie Elton, " the lazy boy," was a perfect pil-garlic in his way ; but his troubles, being always occasioned by his unblushing idleness, came to be regarded with extra satisfaction in the light of deserved re tribution. His mishaps, however, were all most ludicrous and laughter-provoking. A good laugh is, in fact, the constant applause which greets the perusal of Mrs. Eiloart's books among a crowd of juveniles. Of a different character is the present hero, Johnny Jordan. We are told that "in all the town there was no such boy for work. He was always at the top in his class. No matter how hard a lesson, Johnny always con quered it. Nothing could tempt him away from his books till he had thoroughly prepared his tasks, but when those tasks were over"—then comes the reverse of the picture. Having put away his books and put on his cap, Master Johnny would exclaim, " Now I'm off for a spree I must do some mis chief ; can't keep quiet any longer. Here goes for whatever comes in the way !" Such is Johnny Jordan. Need we say more to insure him a cordial invitation to the play-room and fireside this Christ mas ? Of a different character is the more ambi tious Torn and the crocodiles (George Routledge and Sons), by Anne Bowman, the author of The Young Yachtsman," and other similar tales of peril and adventure. The present story is fully as inte resting as any of its predecessors. It relates the perils and wanderings of an English family in one of the West India Islands, the eldest boy Tom proving himself a perfect hero, especially in regard to his adventures with the crocodiles. While enu merating boys' books we must not omit Routledge's Every Boy's Annual, which appears in its usual gor geous array, with a colour picture of the meeting of Sir Colin Campbell and General Havelock. Among the stories is one entitled " Barford Bridge, or Schoolboy Trials," by that indefatigable writer for the juveniles, the Rev. H. C. Adams. Among the practical chapters is one on " The Lathe, and How to Use It." For younger readers there is provided a rich treat by Aunt Louisa, who proves a very fairy Godmother of picture books. Aunt Louisa's Sunday Picture Books and Aunt Louisa's London Toy Books (Frederick 'Warne). The colouring of some of these picture-books is marvellously effective. One of the toy-books, en titled "Edith and Milly's Housekeeping," represents two little girls at play, with a doll's house. Every alternate page is a picture, beautifully finished in every detail, and coloured in the most brilliant manner possible. A companion volume, " The Life of a Doll," recounts (with alternate picture-pages) the adventures of a doll who could walk by machi nery ! and who, after accompanying her little mis tress across the seas to India, on returning, visits Paris, and is, "by express desire," pre sented to the Empress. Very stately and dignified is the figure of the doll, as she stands before the illustrious lady, who gracefully re ceives her most unusual guest. With such books for their entertainment as these and Warne's Large Picture Toy Books, containing the veritable histories of " Little .Red Riding Hood" and " Cock Robin," and " The Children in the Wood," and "Jack in the Box," and for their instruction "The Object Alphabet," and " Edith's Alphabet," the little folks on a Sunday may find amusement, and instruction combined in the beautiful Sunday Pic ture Books above mentioned (" Aunt Louisa's Sunday Picture Books"), containing the story of King David and Joseph and his Brethren, and the Proverbs of Solomon and others. Of a similarly attractive character are Routledge's New Toy Books, containing for Sunday reading the History of Moses, and the History of Joseph, and the Scrip ture Alphabet ; while the " Nursery Rhymes," and " The Three Kittens," and " Cinderella," and "The Alphabet of Trades," with many others, leave one would imagine, no juvenile taste ungratified, no juvenile appetite (for Picture Books) unprovided for ! THE E3f PRESS OF MEXICO.—The Memorial Diplomatique has the following :—" We learm from Mira mar that St. Charles's day, being the fete of the Empress of Mexico, was observed there by a mass celebrated in the chapel of the chateau by Mgr. Raichich, principal chaplain to the Austrian navy, and who formerly held a similar office to the Archduke Maximilian. After the religious ceremony, at which the Empress was present, her suite and all the persons attached to the service of the chateau were admitted to offer their congratulations to her Majesty. The august Princess talked with the different people without any trace of the mental disturbance she has been suffering under being discernible. The same day her Majesty was agree ably surprised by receiving a telegram from the Em peror Maximilian by the Atlantic cable, congritulating her on her Ate in the most affectionate terms. The Emperor and Empress of Austria, as well as the other members of the Imperial family, had also forwarded their compliments by telegraph." WORKING THE TELEGRAPH.—The high scale of charges which has been fixed for messages through the sub-Atlantic cables has led to the establishment of a system of " working the telegraph" by no means advan tageous to the Anglo-American or Atlantic Telegraph Com panies. The plan adopted is similar to that of "parcel pack ing" by carriers, which has been the source of so much litigation on our railways. The charge of £2O for a message of as many words—or .£lO as the price is now reduced to — including the names and address of the sender and receiver, and the date of the message; thus practically limiting the number of words in the shortest message that can be sent to some 14 or 15. For instance "Brown and Co., Broad way, New York, to Robinson, Leadenhall-street, London," takes off a very large proportion of the message, each word representing a charge, at the present reduced scale, of 10s. Now, the combination of packers in London or New York were not slow to perceive that in these names and addresses on each message there existed a very profitable field for en terprise. On either side of the Atlantic the packers" have a number of clients for whom they transmit or receive the messages at a price considerably below the tariff of the company. Each of these customers or clients has a corre sponding figure or letter by which he is known, so that in stead of sending some eight or ten words giving the names and addresses, the message is simply " A. 8," or any other two letters that may be agreed upon, the first representing the sender, the second the receiver, and thus a saving of some 20 per cent. is at once effected. Beyend this, how ever, a very complete code is arranged between the "packers," by whico the number of words in the messages is very greatly abridged. Half-a-dozen messages, for in stance, directing different correspondents to buy or to sell, may be "packed" in ono message, and thus the repetition of many words be avoided. A variety of plans are adopted by which several messages are thus sent or " packed " in one, and a very handsome profit is realised by the operators at the expense of the companies.—Railway News. Shire-lane, now more commonly known as Serlb's place;'adjoining Temple-bar, is about to come down in order to make room for the new law courts. Readers of the Tatter may remember that not only was this place the abode of "Isaac Bickerstaffe," but that it contained (and still contains) the "Trumpet" Tavern, which was the scene of the evening potations of himself and his literary brethren. Another relic of the Addi onian era and of the early part of last century is about to be removed Sir Richard Steele's cottage, opposite the Load of Hay, on Haverstock-hill. We observe that the (now rather noted) female doctor, Mary E. Walker, will give a lecture at St. James's Hall, on Tuesday evening next. The sub ject of the lecture is " The Experiences of a Female Physician in College, Private Practice, and in the Federal Army." The lecture will doubtless be of an interesting and highly instructive character. The skill, experience, and repute enjoyed by this scien tific lady will justify the hope of an eminently successful gathering of ladies and gentlemen in terested in the cause of female improvement and employment in a field especially adapted to female genius, LAW INTELLIGENCE —This Day. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. (Sittings in Banco Moro Lord Chief Justice Cockburn and Justices Mellor and Shee.) THE OATH OF ALLEGIANCE. The Right Hon. the Earl of Derby and the Right Hon. Lord Stanley took the usual oath of allegiance this morning. CHURCHWARDEN V. THE QUEEN. It will be remembered that this case involved the ques tion of a petition of right on the part of the plaintiff, a Government contractor, and that a judgment was given in favour of the Crown. The Solicitor-General now made a formal application to The Court for the striking out of the traverse of certain issues before the case was taken before the court of error, for the purpose of reversing the judgment, but allowing the Crown to restore traverse if necessary. The rule was granted and made absolute. WYLDE AND ANOTHER V. THE METROPOLITAN RAILWAY (TOWER HILL EXTENSION) COMPANY. Mr. Keane, Q.C., on the part of the defendants, showed against a rule which had been obtained, calling on them to show why they should not issue a mandamus calling on the sheriff to treat for certain property of the plaintiffs, required for the purp3ses of the railway. By the com pany's act they were required to give six months' notice of their requiring to take auy land or other property. That notice had been given, and the object of the rule was to compel the company to treat at once, with a view to the settling of the compensation, to the plaintiffs for their property. The learned counsel contended that under the Metropolitan Railway Act the plaintiffs could not compel the defendants to take the course they desired. Mr. Justice Shee said that if the learned counsel's argu ment were correct then the company would not be bound to take the laud for three or four years to the injury of the plaintiffs. The Lord Chief Justice said this was a serious question, and the Court ordered that a mandamus should issue. BAIL COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Blackburn and a Common Jury.) MILLER V. MELVILLE AND OTHERS. Mr. Crooms was for the plaintiff, and Mr. Brown for the defendants. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, Mrs. Eliza beth Ann Miller, to try the validity of a claim set up by the defendants to remove certain goods and chattels upon which they had levied an execution for debts due by Mr. William Robinson. It appeared that the plaintiff was niece of a gentleman named Grey, and she acted as his housekeeper. They lived at first at South fioc Clap ham-common, and wisilo there Mr. Grey became insane, cud the plaintiff was appointed his committee. He had previously made her sole executrix and legatee. They removed to Oxford-lodge, Lower Tooting, where Mr. Grey resides. It appeared that before his decease the plaintiff had married Mr. Robinson, her own brother-in-law, and against whose supposed property the execution was taken. It was alleged that she never gave up the possession of the furniture which had been removed from Clapham, and which constituted the subject of the present action, and that as the marriage was illegal he was not liable for the debts of Robinson. The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff for the whole amount claimed, as the value of the goods and chattels which had been seized. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.---This Day. 3,IABLBOROUGH-STREET. AN ACTOR CHARGED WITH ASSAULTING A CONSTABLE.— James Mead, of No. 22, Davies-street, Berkeley-square, described as an actor, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with violently assaulting Francis Allwood, 18G C, and be having in a disorderly manner. Allwood said that a little before one o'clock on Sunday morning ho heard a disturbance in Castle-street, 'Leicester square, and on going up found the prisoner and others making a great disturbance. On his (the constable) telling him to go away he refused, and kicked him violently on the knee. [The constable showed his knee to the magis trate, and there was a bad wound on it.] He then took him into custody. Mr. Tyrwhitt said that being on the cap of the knee it was a dangerous wound. The constable ought to be off duty, as the wound would get worse. Police-constable Gordon, 33 C, proved seeing the pri soner deliberately turn round and kick Allwood on the knee, the prisoner being drunk. Mr. Tyrwhitt said the prisoner would be committed for 14 days. Ho had kicked the constable on a very awkward and bad place. CRUEL ROBBERIES.—Two lads, named Thomas Connell and John Hogan, were charged with loitering in Walkers court, a market place, near Berwick-street, Soho. Sergeant Charles Cole said that about 10 o'clock he saw the prisciners in Berwick-street, and followed them into Walker's-court. Knowing them as thieves he watched them, and saw Connell go up to a female and put his left hand into her pocket, and directly afterwards Hogan put his hand into a man's coat pocket. He then took the pri soners into custody. On a previous Saturday five women who had just received their husbands' wages were cruelly robbed in the same place and in a similar manner. Mr. Tyrwhitt committed the prisoners for three months each with hard labour. WESTMINSTER. INCITING CHILDREN TO BEG.--11111.ry Connor, 13, Cathe rine Connor, 9, and Jeremiah Connor, 6, were charged with begging, and their mother was charged with inciting them to beg. A. Matthews, 60 B, said at 11 o'clock yesterday morning he was on duty outside the Brompton Oratory, and saw the three children begging. lie watched them for half an hour, and saw them receive alms, which they took to the mother. When a constable in uniform approached she hurried away, but ho followed her and took her into custody. In answer to the charge the woman said she did not send them to beg ; she certainly took the halfpence from the children when they brought them to her to buy bread with. _ _ Mr. Self sent the children to the workhouse, and sen tenced the woman to 14 days' hard labour. MARYLEBONE. DEATH OF MR. YARDLEY.—Last evening, at six o'clock, Edward Yardley, Esq., one of the magistrates at this court, expired at his residence, No. 8, Blandford-square, Maryle bone. Mr. Yardley was called to the bar on the 24th of November, 1834, and for the past 20 years has filled the post of stipendiary magistrate within the metropolitan district. THAMES. INGENIOUS SMUGGLING. —Edward Challingworth, or Chillingworth, of Kate's-hall, Dudley, Worcestershire, gas fitter, aged 29, was charged with smuggling Whs. 12oz. of cigars and lib. of tobacco. The prisoner was a passenger on board the General Steam Navigation Company's steam sloop Waterloo, from Rotterdam, and his box was searched by a Custom-house officer, named Harris, who asked him if he had got any thing about him or in his box liable to duty, and the reply was, about 40 or 50 cigars among my clothes. There were 40 cigars found in his clothes. The officer then measured his box, a large one, and the depth inside dii not correspond with the depth outside. There was a false bottom to the chest, and on its being removed, five pounds and twelve ounces of cigars and one pound of tobacco were discovered very closely compressed. They had been in geniously packed between the false and the real bottom of the chest. The value of the duty amounted to £2 ss. 6d. Mr. Partridge said there was no defence, and the case was a very bad one. He fined the prisoner the treble value and duty, £6 165.. 6d. or seven days' imprisonment. The fine was paid. MORE SMUGGLING.— Lumbutus Feldhausen, the cook of the Batavia steamship, trading between London and Rotterdam was charged with smuggling five and a half pounds of foreign manufactured tobacco found in the pantry of the ship, and which ho admitted to be his He was found guilty on this charge, and was sentenced to pay a fine of ££2 Os. 9d., or be imprisoned for seven days. He was then charged on a Custom-house information with smuggling 281bs. of tobacco, by which he had incurred a penalty of .£lOO. A man named John Coombs, on whom 281bs. of tobacco was found, was convicted by Mr. Part ridge on Friday last, and sentenced to be pay .£lOO or be imprisoned for six months. The prisoner Feldhausen was apprehended on Saturday, and he admitted that all the tobacco belonged to him, including that found on Coombs. Feldhausen was on shore when Coombs was arrested. Mr. Partridge held there was no evidence to commit Feldhausen with unshipping or being concerned in the carrying and conveying the tobacco taken from Coombs, and strongly condemned the system of Custom-house officers extracting admissions from pri soners. Police-constables had no right to do it, and it was equally objectionable on the part of revenue officers. It was the duty of Custom-house officers to ask passengers or the crews of foreign steamers or English steamers if they had any goods %bout them liable to duty, but not to inter rogate them. He hoped the practice would not be re peated. \ He dismissed the second information, and con victed only on the first.
