Sweasey and Rolland, the proprietors of Westou's Mnsic-hall, Holborn, appeared at Bow street Police-court, yesterday, to answer two immntonses, issued at the instance of Mr. John Hollingshcad, secretary to the Theatrical Law . Amendment Society, charging them under the Theatrical Act, the Gth and 7th Vict. chap. 68, sn tions 2 and 23, with having and keeping a place for the performance of stage plays, without the licence of the Lord Chamberlain, on the sth and 6th July instant. Mt. Poland, instructed by Messrs. Ilutnpbreys and liorgan, conducted the prosecution ; and Mr. Paul defended. Mr. Poland stated that Mr. Ho'Hogshead, as the seuetary of the above society, had instituted this proceeding in order to obtain a magisterial decision upon certain performances which he ventured to submit were clearly illegal. Mr. Hollingshead had himself visited the hall on the sth and 6th inst., and witnessed the performance set forth in the bill, a copy of which he now produced. It was a per formance of a part of a stage play, viz., of an opera, described in the Was a " Selection from Barnett's favourite opera The Mountain Sylph.' " It was mentioned in the bill that the costumes were by Mr. Samuel May, of Bow-street; and, in fact, the cha racters were dressed and the piece performed pre cisely as it would be at the Opera House. There was an orchestra and orei,estral band, with a regular - stage front and footlights, and a set scene, which was kept up during the whole performance. A great portion, indeed all the best parts, of the opera were performed, the stage business being carried out in accordance with the stage directions given in the printed edition of the play. The act of Parliament prohibited the representation of any stage play,which was defined as including any opera or part thereof. He submitted that under that definition there could be no doubt that the performance in question was an infraction of the law. It had been discon tinued, either because it was felt to be illegal or that its novelty had worn off. The establishment known as Weston's Music-hall was carried on under the ordinary publichouse licence, and he be lieved they bad a mum licence under the 25th Ge 0.11., but he should submit that the performance went far beyond what could be sanctioned under that licence, and he had no doubt that it would be at once admitted that there was no dramatic licence. Mr. Paul said of course there was not. Mr. Hollingshead—l am the secretary of the Theatrical Law Amendment Society. On the sth July I went toWeston's Music-hall. I paid one shil ling for admission. There was a raised stage or platform, with footlights. There was an orchestra with a very excellent band of 20. I purchased a bill of the performance for one penny. The bill stated that part of the performance was a selection from the " Mountain Sylph." I have seen that play on the regular stage. It is an operetta. The characters mentioned in the bill were performed by persons dressed in stage costumes. I produce a copy of the opera, in which I have marked the por tions that were played. The stage directions given in the book were obeyed almost entirely. There were five characters which were mentioned in the bill, and also one more. They were dressed in the same way as when the opera is performed at a theatre. The accompaniments were played by the orchestra. There is some business in the operetta with a scarf. It is called the "Magic-wove Scarf," which is the title of a chorus in the piece, and the business was performed (as directed in the book) at the time the chorus was being sung. The scenery was the permanent decorations of the place, which was made to, do for all the performances. There were entrances and exits as on the stage, but at the Lack inotoad of at the sides. There were private boxes near the st Igo. There was the regular mush.; and the chef conducted in the usual way. It was a very excellent performance. Mr. Paul—You were entitled to have that for your shilling. You need not bandy compliments. Mr. Hollingshead—lt was the most intellectual and satisfactory of the entertainments at that hall. There was dramatic action. In one part the stage direction is,"Donald discovered sleeping in a chair," which was done exactly as described. Cross-examined by Mr. Paul—l am one of the directors of the Alhambra. I appear as secretary to the Theatrical Law Amendment Society, which has been at work three years endeavouring to ob tain an alteration of the law with reference to theatres and music -halls. You can call Weston's a rival music-hall if you like, but these proceedings are not at the instance of the directors of the Al hambra. The Theatrical Low Amendment Society succeeded in obtaining a committee of the House of Commons to inquire into the question, before which committee the learned chief magistrate gave evi dence. Sir Thomas Henry—You need not remind of that ; I have not forgotten it. In answer to further questions the Witness said there was dramatic action, very different from that of any ladies or gentlemen singing songs in private or at a concert. It was difficult to describe it—it was like pantomimic action. There was no spoken dialogue, but the characters addressed each other in song. There were young ladies dressed in ballet costume to represent the 4i Sylphs." They were not in ordinary dress. Mr. Paul —Was it not the usual dress of young ladies who sing at the music-ball ? Mr. Hollingshead—l will not say what is usual at music -halls, but it was the usual dress of the ballet girls at the Opera. They were in short petti coats. Mr. Hollingshead also mentioned several of the stage directions, and the manner in which they were observed. In reference to the " Highland Fling by the Corps de Ballet," he observel that, in this par ticular instance, the corps de ballet was represented by one boy and one girl; they danced the " Fling " in strict accordance with the directions. Mr. Paland—That is our case. Mr. Paul—Then I submit that there is no case at all. Sir Thomas Henry held that there certainly was. The words of the act were, , 4 An opera, or any act or part thereof," and unquestionably this was part of an opera. Mr. Paul submitted that this was merely a musical selection, without recitative or dialogue, and called Mr. Patrick Corri, who said--I am, and havebeen for the last ten years, manager of the musical en tertainments at Weston's Music-hall, and for thirty years in the dramatic profession. It has always been the practice to give musical selections at Wes ton's. The entertainment in question was merely a musical selection. There was no theatrical scenery, nor proscenium, nor green curtain, nor act drop. Novave a green curtain and an at ac the Alhambra they Sir Thomas Henry—That is a qu es ti on o f w hi c h dr most infringes the law. Mr. Corri—There was neither speaking nor reci tative, and that business about the arm chair was not done. There was no arm chair. Donald and everybody else was wide awake. Sir Thomas Henry—You try not to come within the letter of the law. Mr. Corri—Yes. It is not our desire to infringe it. At this point Mr. Paul asked the learned chief magistrate's permission to confer with his client, and after a short consultation, and some communi cation with Mr. Poland and Mr. Humphreys, Wr. Paul said—Sir, my client, after the intima tion which has fallen from you, will be quite con tent, with the sanction, of Mr. Poland, to consent to the imposition of a nominal penalty. Sir Thomas Henry—l would not impose any penalty at all if you undertake that these perform ances shall not be continued. The ca,e could stand over if it was desired. Mr, Poland said be really must. ask for a decla ration of the learned chief magistrate's opinion, that it might not be supposed that the legality or illega lity of the performances remained a matter of doubt. Sir Thomas Henry said he had already expressed his opinion on the matter. He had no doubt or hesitation in declaring that they were illegal. Mr. Poland must ask for the infliction of a nomi nal penalty. He should not ask for costs. Sir Thomas Henry—No, I should not Ore you them. I think two penalties of one shilling—that is one on each summons— be sufficient. There must of course be an understanding that the enter tainments will be discontinued. Mr. Paul—Certainly, that is understood. The proceedings then terminated. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, July 18. - -~-- -- (Before Mr. Payne; Deputy Assistant Judge.) DANGEROUS ASSAULT.—Wm. Conan, aged 49, a German barber, was charged with assaulting and wounding Frederick Franke with a pair of scissors. Prisoner and prosecutor lived in the same room, and prisoner, who did not deny the assault, pleaded that he had suffered great provocation from the pro secutor, who brought home women and came home drunk, and the landlord attributed the disturbance to prisoner. Prosecutor did not bleed much from the wound, and was well in two days. The jury, under these circumstances, took a lenient view of the case, and found the prisoner guilty of a common assault. • The Deputy Assistant Judge sentenced - him to six months' imprisonment. The jury, through their foreman, said they thought this sentence was far too severe. The Deputy Assistant Judge said the court would always punish with severity the use of sharp instru ments, but after some further appeal on the part of the jury, be called the prisoner again into the dock, and told him that, owing solely to the intercession of the jury, his sentence would be reduced to four months. ROBBERY IN A POLICE CELL.--Julia Creed, 56, washerwoman, was indicted for stealing 30s. from Elizabeth Driscoll. It appeared that both prisoner and prosecutor were locked up in the same police cell. The prosecutrix bad 325. 6d. upon her when she went to sleep, and when she awoke she missed a sovereign and half sovereign. She communicated with the next policeman who visited the cell, and the prisoner was taken to be searched, when she gave up a half sovereign, and said she bad found it in the cell and thought it was a sixpence, her eye sight being bad. After she had left the cell the sovereign was found in it. The jury found the prisoner guilty, and she was sentenced to nine months' imprisonment. THE BEST REMEDY FOR INDIGESTION.

SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. TIMES.—A new writ has been issued for the Uni versity; of Cambridge, and on Monday next a bur gess is to be elected "in place of Mr. Charles Jasper Selwyn, who has been appointed her Majesty's Soli citor General." The proceedings at the nomination will, of course, be purely formal, nor is there the faintest prospect of an opposition to Mr. Selwyn's re-election. He obtained the seat in 1859 and 1865 as a firm supporter of existing institutions in Church and state, and as a loyal adherent of the party which, though professing no ,hostility to Reform, has never ceased for many years to denounce any " vertied." extension of the suffrage, to protest against a £6 borough franchise as a " transfer of power" to the working class and a " disfranchise ment"' of all others, and b to deprecate the smallest departure from the settlement of 1832, lest it might lead to what they described as revolution—the en franchisement of all householders. lie now comes forward as the Law Officer of a Government which, compoed of gentlemen individually pledged to all these propositions, has introduced and nearly carried a measure of which a ratepaying household suffrage is the mainspring, while, by tho addition of a lodger franchise, it approximates far more nearly to man hood suffrage than any previous Reform Bill. Yet Mr. Selwyn, like Mr. Hardy, continues to enjoy the entire confidence of the constituency. Not a whis per of discontent has been heard, not a solitary non placet will be recorded against his return. The usage of academical elections does not admit of addresses from candidates, but we have no reason to suppose that Mr. Selwyn will think it necessary to follow Mr. Gladstone's example by issuing an explanatory letter. Qui s'excuse s'accuse, andwhere parties under stand each other perfectly well it is better to avoid all explanations whatever. Fur this apparent indif ference to political infidelity on the part of our two ancient universities some plausible reasons may be suggested. The maxim, semel elect us semper dele getur, though flagrantly violated in the case of Mr. Gladstone, still retains its influence upon the Cam bridge mind, and would no doubt be invoked again at Oxford, without shame or scruple, in favour of a member accredited by the Carlton Club. Some thing, too, is probably due to the vis inertim of the Long Vacation, when the great majority of resident graduates are dispersed over Great Britain and the Continent, scaling the Swiss mountains, fishing the Norwegian rivers, or " coaching" reading parties in the Highlands—at all events, beyond the reach of canvassing, and unable to satisfy the rigid condi tions for the signature of voting papers. Again, there is a very general feeling that advantage should not be taken of the rule by which members of Par liament forfeit their seats on accepting office, unless to punish grave misconduct, and, in particular, that it is scarcely fair to hinder in this way the profes sional advancement of an eminent lawyer. A Solicitor-General seeking re-election is always a privileged candidate, and Mr. Selwyn's position is further secured by his own deserved popularity. On the other hand, it cannot be said on his behalf, as it might have been said of behalf of Mr. Hardy, some two months ago, that he never can or will be a party to any sweeping measure of Reform without restrictive safeguards. The Oxford constituency may possibly have relied on the solemn assurances of their representative to that effect, but it would be too late for Mr. Selwyn to give any such assurance now, even if he were unwise enough to waive his right of keeping silence. He stands committed to a sweeping Reform Bill, and the University of Cambridge unanimously confirms her approbation of him with due notice of that circumstance. The present year has been fruit ful of political marvels, and this is certainly not the least of them. To appreciate it fully we have only to carry our imaginations back for a few months, and to ask ourselves how the prediction of tergiversa tion so complete would have been received in Con servative society at either University. Had any one ventured in 1865, or even in 1866, to assert that Lord Derby and his colleagues were capable of adopting such a policy as Mr. Disraeli has carried out, and borrowing without acknowledgment, if not without recognition the programme of Mr. Brigh t, what a storm of indignant retorts he would have en countered ! A prediction of what has actually hap pened would assuredly have been resented as a gross insult, and few of Selwyn's supporters would have hesitated to vow that, come. what might, they would desert him if he should vote for household suffrage. It is facts like these which show us whatreally all the current talk about " principles" is t worth. If education and culture are the highest qualifications for an electoral body, our Unisp.,ers_intio.es ought to have a " prerogative" vote an-ion„h have lish constituencies. No constituencies, indeed, proved themselves more blind to the signs . of the times, more intolerant of independence in their re presentative, more docile under irrhtyownelav,nirttolait)iroizne. They . might have been expecte2 virtues, nor consistency above all other were indications wanting noo•ed inconsisten against violations of it. For a , of politicaltheirrighteous zeal cies altogether trifling when comsplbreeedn guilty, Mr. which the present Ministry Oxford. with those of Bat then Gladstone was banished frot.inrty, and that makes Mr. Gladstone changed hj e s. vv P has only changed all the difference. Mr. : $ t his principles, and principles 3are empty things in the estimation of his constitucnrttsy, fats e o r of the ‘m ost without tbe ignorant elector, It is true that Con give them life andwsubsta.nce. servatives are no with every prospect of had undertaken to success, the veryw besieging, s ng ihey defend, but they retain °r their old leaders and their old banners, with most of their old watchwords, and their drums and fifes continue to play the same tunes as before. This is quite enough for the edu cated mob of Masters of Art s at both our iUniversi ties. Let us suppose t hat Mr. Selwyn,instead of s tanding by his chief, had sto od b y the cause he was returned to support , like General Pe which Peel, Lord Carnarvon, and Lord Cranbo rne, is it quite so cer tain that he would not have been opposed ? If not, it seems to follow that, after all, it is not mea v.tres, but men ; not realities, but nom ! which _~ v PRICE.... 41. STAMPED sd. govern the judgment of a constituency. We cannot help suspecting that a Eincere conversion to the principles of Reform would be in their eyes a less venial offence than a politic co:npliance with them, in deference to what is called by courtesy Political necessity. A deep want of faith in real principles, combined with a nervous tenacity of bhibtoleths which pass for principles and serve to silence conscientious misgivings, is certainly among the less noble charac eristics of our own age. The poet tells us that " men may iise on stepping stones of their dead selves to higher things ;" but this doc trine if applicable to politics at all, is clearly liable to great ahuse. Mr. Selwyn, however, has as good' a claim to the benefit of it as any other mem ber of his party, which, by its sacrifice of per sonal convictions to public opinion, has earned the right to reverse the famous vaunt of Francis 1., and to boast that it has saved everything, except its honour. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. STAMFORD RACES-THURSDAY. However attractive the Stamford bill of faro may have looked on paper, it failed to realise the expectations formed of it, and the well-filled entries dwindled down to fields of narrow dimensions. This morning the attention of the racing visitors was occupied by the annual sale of Lord Exeter's yearlings at the Wothorpe paddocks. Several nice animals were put up for disposal by Mr. Edmund Tattersall,' he own brother to Knight of the Crescent and Grand Cross bringing the highest price-820 guineas. He is named Tenedos, and was purchased by Mr. M. Dawson, who took several other lots. The original programme contained nine races, but. it was swelled into twelve events by the addition of a couple of matches. Racing commenced at one o'clock with the Stamford St. Leger, reduced to a match between Knight of the Garter and Fripounicr, the latter of whom, it will be remembered, ran Vauban to a head over this course last year. Odds cf 11 to 8 were laid on "the Knight," who led till fairly in, the straight, when Friponnier came away and won in a cantor, being wonder fully served by the down hill finish. For the Burghley Handicap there wore seven runners, and Rama andßegalia being absentees, John Davis carried the top-weight and was made an equal favourite with Bradamante, the latter of whom won literally in a canter by three lengths. The weather throughout the day was fine, and tho attendance of the usual Stamford aristocratic character. The course was beautiful going, and the few improvements which have been made in the ring since last year much appre ciated. The public will learn with satisfaction that it is not Mr. Merry's intention to resign the clerkship of the course, at least for the present.

Rounding the turn for the far side John Davis had a clear lead of Claverhouse, the pair-being fully ten lengths in advance of the others. Tra versing the far side Bradamanto and Moose drew up to the girths of Dr. Syntax, who was fourth, and a quarter of a mile further on Knight of the Crescent ran forward, taking his place in the rear of John Davis, Claverhouse simultanepusly dropping last. About three-quarters of a mile from home Dr. Syntax took up the running, Bradamanto now taking second place, Claverhouse being at this point beaten off. They ran thus till fairly in the straight, when Dr. Syntax was in difficulties, and Bradamanto was left with the lead of the "Doctor" and Knight of the. Crescent. Half-way down the straight Knight of the Crescent passed Dr. Syn tax, but was never able to reach Bradamante, who won in a cantor by three lengths ; Dr. Syntax was third, close up ; John Davis fourth, Moose fifth, Eglamour sixth, and Claverhouse last, tailed off.

On Wednesday, at the Bucks Petty Sessions, held at Slough, before Mr. C. P. Stuart and the' Rev. H. H. Way, county magistrates, two men, who gave the names of Charles Eaton and George Henry Smith, were charged with a long series of frauds by the sale of sham antiquities, re presented to have been dug up at Windsor. The men represented that they Ind been employed at some excavations for an addition to the Victoria Brewery at Windsor, and that while so engaged they came upon and broke with their tools an urn, containing weapons, coins, spoon s, and other arti cles of Roman or Saxon workmanship. They pro duced specimens of these " antiquities" to trades men in Eton, Datche tt, Slough, Ashford, Feltham, Staines, &c.—in fact, a pocketbook found on one of the men shoWed they had started from London on speculation, and taken the several towns on the South-Western Railway all the way up to Windsor. At Datchett, for instance, they sold two articles for 7s. to Mr. Dickman, an innkeeper, who purchases curiosities for a friend. A second lot was purchased at 55., and a third at Gs.- Next morning Mr. Dick - ma n went to Windso r, and discovered, upon in quiring for the remains of the urn, that he had been swindled. Mr. William Sharp, of the White Hart Hotel, at Slough, b ou g ht four articles, including a ring, a dagger, and a fish-shaped medallion, for ss. Mr. Sharp happened to know Mr. Purcell, the 'Secretary of the Archaeological Society, and on going up to the town he called with his pur chase at Burlington-gardens. Mr. Purcell could not reconcile the date with the characters upon the supposed antiquarian relics, and The Mr. men Shar sold p left t h em for expert investigation. sham coin for half a crown to a youth named Wyborn, the son of a chemist at Eton. Mr. Wyborn took the coin to the Rev. J. Rawlins, an antiquary at Windsor, and the reverend gentleman at once pronounced it a forgery. Mr. Rawlins then ascer stauisnpeedtdhhaattdhaabteceoannnsdiaditsetporeanslbedpl e t quantity o a au n tl t d‘ i t vb y ien o d f ms t oa h rd es , a anti quities"sdulpi broker information to n e d h le e cti g t t rr h h e e E g t a o n n g boys n,in e aen to ‘d‘ t at t , h a e t poWind sor, out of 45., and Mr. Drake Lewis out of Bs. ; but at Mr. Lewis's the two men who were the ring leaders of the gang were apprehended by police constable Crichton, of the Bucki constabulary, and they at once returned Mr. Lewis his money. The policemans conveyed his prisoner to the county police station at Slough. A large parcel of the " antiquities" was produced in court. On breaking specimens it was found that they were all modern cast brass, covered with a green oxidation to give them an ancient appearance. Mr. Dunham, the sergeant of the Bucks constabulary, informed the magistrate that at least twenty caseA, all precisely similar in the false representations made and th articles vended, could b e proved against the pri e soners in the district between Staines and Windsor: The magistrates committ ed the pr i sone rs for trim at the Aylesbury assize s. The rest of the gang and the mother and wife of one of the men precipitately left the court. ."---------------- ac , c } f: i 0 01 0 inTfrnoirleErdceal:oLSt:ise BLinueghhtas againstjust oF A PANTITEP..— j T u h d p e ,m A T 3 e ril i b t G un E in al Western Company by 1,1.
