MEMBER RETURNED TO SERVE IN THIS PRESENT PARLIA- MENT. Kilmarnock District of Burghs—The Right Honourable Edward Pleydell Bouverie, President of the Poor Law Board. BOARD OF TRADE, WHITEHALL, AUG. 20. The Right Honourable the Lords of the Committee of Privy Council for Trade and Plantations have received, through the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, a copy of a despatch from her Majesty's Plenipotentiary in China, (a copy of which is subjoined) relative to certain inaccu racies which have been found to exist in the official charts of the Gulf of Siam. (Copy.) Her Majesty's ship Rattler, off Singapore, May 5, 1855. My Lord,—l beg leave to solicit that your lordship will kindly call the attention of the Lords of the Admiralty to the following errors which we have detected in the official charts of the Gult of Siam ; and to suggest, in anticipation of the probable extension of trade in these regions, that a thorough survey of the Gulf should be made. -Many in accuracies have to be corrected besides those I shall now point oat. In our charts the Island of Pulo Paujang is placed about 18 miles too far to the westward. Its real position is, north latitude 9 deg. 18 min., longitude 103 deg. 36 min. Cape Liant stands 25 miles too far to the east, and six miles too far to the south. Its true position is latitude 1:: deg. 34 min., longitude 101 deg. 11 min. The anchotage at Meinam Bar, in four fathoms, is 52 miles too far to the eastward ' • it really b e i ng l a tit u d e 13 deg. 24 min. 50 sec., longitude 100 deg. 36 min. 30 sec. Some of these errors were pointed out by Mr. Crawfurd, in the account of his mission to Siam in the year 1822. The situation of Bangkok and its neighbourhood is given erroneously, as a necessary consequsnce of the errors I have noticed. I have, &c. (Signed) JOHN BOWRING. • The Earl of Clarendon, &c., &c., &c.

SUPREME COURT, MELBOURNE, VICTORIA. FRIDAY, MAY 11. .(Before his Honour Mr. Justice Barry, and special juries of four.) BERG V. LEWIS. This important trial to the theatrical world attracted " all the talent" of all branches it the profession to this court on Friday last ; and occupied the attention of his Honour the whole day. Mr. Michie and Mr. Follows for the plaintiff ; Mr. Ireland and Mr. Higinbotbam for the defendant. Mr. Fellows stated the case. This was an action to recover damages for breach of an engagement entered into between the plaintiff, in behalf of himself, his wife, his sister, and a boy, on the one side, with the defen ' dant, the lessee of Astley's Amphitheatre, on the other side. The agreement was entered into through the agency of Mr. Henry Birch, who was, at the time of its execution, on a visit to England for the express purpose of engaging a troupe of equestrians, &c., in behalf of de fendant. The agreement was to the effect that plaintiff was to act as ringmaster ; his wife was to perform cer tain acts of equestrianism therein specified ; his sister was to perform the equestrian feats known technically by the names of the "trick act," "the double trick act," and sundry other acts, specified in the contract. Forthis the plaintiff was to receive 501. per week. The agree ment also specified that these parties were to enter upon the duties of their engagement feur days after their arri val in Melbourne. They arrived here on the 23d of Dec. last, and the defendant was so anxious for their imme diate appearance that he induced them, against their wishes, to commence their performances on the even ing of the 26th of December. During one of the hurried rehearsals that took place, the sister fell off the horse, from want of practice, and sustained an injury to her leg ; she however, took part in certain per formances from time to time, until the defendant broke the contract on the s:h of March. It was to recover damages for this breach of the contract that the present action was brought. The agreement was put in and admitted. It con tained tne conditions of the engagement as described above ; one, that the boy should also do tho " trick act," and contained a clause that if, through illness, accident, or other unavoidable cause, any of the party should be absent, and unable to perform, then the full salary was to be paid for the first three weeks ; subsequent arrange ments to be at the discretion of the manager. Mr. Adolphe Berg, the plaintiff, who was examined through an interpreter, deposed to the agreement having been entered into while his company were fulfilling an engagement at Vauxhall Gardens. Birch, the defen• dant's agent, saw himself, his sister, and the boy per form several times before the agreement was entered into. Arrived here in the Stebonheath on the 23d De cember, after a voyage of 109 days. Defendant met them on board ship, and said that he should want them to play on the Tuesday following (within the four days agreed upon). Plaintiff objected ; but they attended the next morning for practice. Mr. Barlow, "an artist on horseback," came out by the same vessel, and fell several times on the first day for want of practice. Plaintiff again objected at the first morning's practice in behalf cf his wife and sister. They practised three times. Were knocked up by the sea voyage. Plaintiff's sister could not ride in public on Tuesday in conse quence of an accident at the rehearsal. She was lame in consequence of this accident for four weeks. She performed two weeks in a quadrille, the third on horse back, and on the fourth she was prevented by the advice of a medical man. Defendant put an end to the engagement by letter, dated the 3d of March. Plaintiff arid his sister went to perform on the sth of March, as their Dames were in the bills. Defendant would not let them stet. Plaintiff and his sistsr then paid their money, and went into the theatre aumeg the audience, when they were turned out by the defendant and the police. The whole of plaintiff's company, except his sister, performed until the 3d of March. For the first three weeks defendant paid them at the rate of 501.; f..r the fourth week, 251.; for the remainder of their en gagement, 301. per week. There was a balance of 1751. due to plaintiff up to the time that the engagement was broken off. Cross-examined by Mr. Ireland—Witness himself ap plied to have a horse on Mon-lay miming Did nut understand what "trick act" meant exactly. It was quite ad libitum. (Loud laughter.) It might mean jumping through garters, hoops, balloons, or it might mean something else. His sister did not perform any of these things on Sunday. "She rode on horseback standing." She had a rope to support her on that occa sion. It was before nine o'clock on Tuesday morning that the accident occurred. P aintiff performed on Tuesday. Did not hear an apology made on account of the absence of witness's sister. The boy of his company did not perform the trick act. He danced, he sprang, he jumped through hie leg. He was held on by a rope with defendant's permission. During the fourth or fifth week the boy broke his arm by felling off the horse. Plaintiff had the rope in his band at the time. Whea his sister came back on the sth of March she was able to do anything. In the quadrilles spoken of the horse danced t e quadrille, and plaintiff's sister sat on the horse. Plaintiff's sister made her first public appear ance as an equestrienne on the 22d of February. She then danced a shawl dance. She ha'' performed in pantomime before. Was quite sure that on the morn ing of' the sth of March the bills announced that his sister was to appear on that evening. Defendant's doctor had attended his sister. Witness hal refused to allow her knee to be examined by two surgeons. Plaintiffs sister had complained of weakness in the knee before the accident. The boy did not jump through any hoop nor over any garter. He had never been asked to jump through five-and-twenty balloons. Other mem bers of defendant's company had jumped through one or two hoops. Re-examined—The boy had performed everything lie bad been required to do by the defendant. The court, as well as the learned counsel for the de fence, had frequently to complain of the answers of the sworn interpreter. Indeed, the services of that gentle man did not appear necessary, as the witness occasion ally made lung answers and explanations without his aid. Madlle. Antoinette Berg examined—Was a rider. Had been for the last eight years. Played at Paris, Berlin, arid London. Performed in London at Drury-lane, at Ast ley's, and at Vauxhall-gardens. Left Vauxhall a fort night before leavin g England. Arrived here on Satur day, 23a Dec., -when Mr. Lewis came on board and asked them to supper at an hotel. It was then fixed for her to perform on the following Tuesday. She and her brother both entreated Mr. Leaiis to delay thcirappearance for a while. She rehearsed on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday morning, and performed on Tuesday evening. She then fell off and injured her knee. She was ill four weeks. and after that again danced on horseback. While so performing was told by Dr. Eades, who attended her, to dismount, for fear of further injury to her knee. Dr. Eades examined—Was called on the 31st Decem ber to attend Mdlle. Berg. It was the second week of this attendance before she went to exercise. Did not think she was fit to undergo the risk at the time, in con sequence of weakne, , s of the knee joint: It would be apt to agsravate the complaint. From what he had seen in various capitals, should say she was a very graceful rider. Saw her do various tricks; amongst others, pray like a nun. Had never seen a nun pray on horseback, or otherwise. Cross-examined— Was certain he was not called in un til the 31st December. Complained that he had not been called in earlier, as the previous treatment was wrong. Dr, Gibbee examined—Had examined Mdile. Berg's knees ten days ago, and found no indications of weak ness. Madame Mina Berg—Deposed that Birch had not seen her ride before the engagement. Defendant had no good "trick horse" in his establishment. Had told defendant that as soon as he procured a good " trick horse" she would ride it. A "trick horse" is one that Can perform manoeuvres. His Honour—Not what people in this colony call a "buck-jumper." (Laughter.) Examination continued—The horse offered to witness was not a "trick horse." Was at Franconi's for seve ral years. Had been 20 years in the profession. Mr. Wrn. Barlow—Was an equestrian of 16 years' standing. Came to this colony in the same vessel as the Bergs. Did not remember falling on the first day's practice. Considers circus horses here as good as in Eng land. Saw the boy perform. He did not do a " trick act." Doing a " trick act" means, first standing on a horse galloping round, then striking graceful attitudes, then jumping over garters. then leaping over broad canvas sheets, finishing with jumping through balloons and the like. A " trick horse" In sans a horse that can dance a minuet or a polka, or perform any such act by himself after training. The defendant has two " trick horses," one of them plays in " St. George and the Dragon." He rears up on his hind legs to fight the dragon. Cross-examined by Mr. lifiginbotharn—Mdlle. Berg did not do tire " trick act." She did not appear an ex pert performer while at Astley's. M. Berg performed the duties of ringmaster very well. Re-examined—Had seen Mdlle. Berg act at Fran coni's. She performed the " trick act" there. Mr. Tom Barry deposed that he had had considerable experience in circus and theatrical business. There was not what witness called a first-rate " trick horse" in de fendant's establishment. A "trick act" means dancing on horseback, jumping over garters and canvas, through a number of hoops, balloons, and other difficult objects. A metamorphosis while going round on hur-eback is a "trick act." Jumping over a whip, or "through the leg," is not. A "double trick act" is two performers riding together with two horses side by side. Mdlle. Berg per formed at Vauxhall very well indeed. Witness was 92 days en the pas-age from England. Believed he did feel rather the worse for the voyage. (Loud laughter) The boy had not performed a " trick act," but merely a child's act. Cross-examined--A " trick act" could not be done with a rope round the rider's waist. Mr. Ireland addressed the jury for the defence, and stated that be should prove that the contract entered into had been voluntarily abandoned, and a weekly en gagement at a less price substituted. The original agree ment was, that the boy was to perform a " trick act ;" Mdlle. Berg was described in the agreement as "equal to the best rider of England, France, and Germany ;" the plaintiff was to act as ringmaster ; and there were other conditions with which the plaintiff had been unable to comply. He should prose that the defendant had Ira ie every effort to have the agreement carried out, and had treated M. Berg and his party with great liberality. Every act of the defen ant spoken to by plaintiff's wit nesses, as well as others, he. should .prove to them as having taken place, showed his extreme anxiety to carry out the arrangement. The plaintiff's company had been unable to comply with the terms of the agreement. The boy conld not perform. The sister was a bad and un skilful rider and not able to do the "trick act," the "double trick act," &c., as agreed ; and defendant had offered to cancel the agreement, and give the plaiiitiffe 27i et 25 10 5 20 18 5 5 5 20 1 2 all 13 all all 14 all all 10 31i 20 V, N 1, iirittnes lon. this day. 111 i 55i f 83 i i i 7i 96 5-1 851 5 f 7 1 1 i i 43 511 501 74i 3i 411 62 31 95i f 15f f 6 5f 31 3i 241 i 1 117 19 108 ' ~. 9 i all all 2 100 100 all 100 all 11 , 100 100 10 St. 20 50 St. 13A 20 St. St. St. St. 5O 12i 10 124 12?1 St. St. St. 164 5 St. 100 100 100 100 1.00 [lOO 6 411 'II itrt 20 20 20 PIP pm 13i 120 i 1021 100 181 18 i I 200/. te pay their passaees back to Europe. When the new arras ;; ement was proposed they had readily fal en in with it. The learned eounsel then detaile,l the facts, which will be baled in the failweing evil, nce : Mr. George Lewi-, the defende,et—Took dawn a steamer on the arrival of the plaintiff and his patty, and brought them to Money's H ,tel, and after dinner took them over the theatre, and they expressed them sel, es satisfied with the hoise4 and with everything Had some good " trick" horses in his establish ment, weich be had bought at the sale of Rowe's esta blishment. Told the plaintiff and his party that he wished them to appear on Boxing night. No objection was made to this. Plaintiff himself proposed to prac tise on the Sunday. Told the plaintiff net to attempt anything difficult till she got rid of the sea legs. Believed the accident happened to Mdlle. Berg on Monday morn• ing. She did not appear on Tuesday, Boxing-night. The boy never performed without a rope round his waist. When the boy fell he fell in-ide the circle. Plaintiff had hold of the rope round his waist. Plaintiff himself said that Mdlle Berg was not ready for the hoops. Paid the plaintiff in full for himself, his wife, his sister, and the boy for the first three weeks. On the last occasion plaintiff said that Mdlle. Berg was unable to ride. What was to be done ? Aft , r some considera tion witness said he would give him 251. per week. Plaintiff was thankful for this. On the fifth week Mdlle. Berg performed for two nights, and witness paid plaintiff 301. Plaintiff sent witness a lawyer's letter, claiming 50/. per week ; suosequently saw the plaintiff. and said as his party coold not do what they had been engaged to do he would give him 2001. to pay hii pas sage back and annul the contract. Subsequently an agreement was entered into that the plaintiff should have 301. per week ; and three weeks afterwards wit ness terminated the engagement. Mdlle. Berg was net "equal to the first riders of Ere.dand, France, and Ger many." Plaintiff always_ signed the salary-book when he received the money. Cross-examined--The-e parties were not worth hav ing. Had no other motive for offering 301. per week than charity, and because he had great hopes that Mdlle. Berg might recover. This witness was asked by Mr. Michie if he thought he could hold the learned counsel, Mr. Fellows, on a horse, if be had a rope round his waist ; and receiving a reply in the negative, said he suppised the learned coun sel might play very well in Mazenpa (holding up the itlustrated playbill) if he were well tied on. Mr. Henry Birch, treasurer to defendant, deposed that he saw Mademoiselle 8.-rg do the " trick act " at Vauxhall before the engagetnent was entered into. The boy did not perform at Vauxhall. This witness corro borated the last in every particular, and deposed that the plaintiff signed the salary hook with k the full know ledge that the sum received was the salary for the week. Mr. Thomas Nunn proved that the name of Mdlle. Berg was not on any bill for the sth of March. Wit ness was "editor of the play bills" issued from Astley's Amphitheatre. The learned Judge, after satisfying himself of the iden tity of this witness with the gentleman shown forth in the play bill on the back of Mazeppa, read some of the poetic imagery of the bill with con-id-rable relish. Mr. Hei.ry Walker, another of the company, proved the custom as t signing the salary-book. Mrs. Annie Yeomans, the colonial equestrienne, de posed that the horse ridden by Mdlle. Berg was one that witness had ridden on for some time. It was a quiet horse. Mr. Michie replied at some length on the evidence. His Horn , ur summed up, very carefully going over the evidence. As to the agreement, his honour called the special attention of the jury to the clause leaving the amount of pay to the discretion of the manager, a, d stating that the jury must determine whether that clause gave the defendant the power of annulling the contract ait-uether. The gr .nd jury retired for half-an-hour, and then re. turned with a verdict for the plaintiff —5OOl. damages. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. WESTIVITNSTER.—The Earl of Kingston, was sum moned for neglecting to pay a cabman the amount be claimed. His lordship attended personally at this court about a fortnight ago to answer a similar complaint, and was then adjudged by Mr B-a,don to pay the fare for which he had been stud and costs, amounting to 11. lls. In the present instance, his lordship's name beinq called in the ordinary way, and being unanswered, the case was proceeded with in his absence. Edward Noland, one of the summoning officers of the court, stated that he served a copy of the summons pr.,. duced on Tuesday morning last, at his lordship's resi dence, 35, Park-street, Grosvenor-square. Mr. Arnold—How do you know that to be his lord ship's residen,e ? . . §uminonieg Officer—l have been there before on a similar errand. It is a grocer's ',hop where his lordship lodges. Mr. Arnold—Did you understand whether he was in town ? Summoning Officer—l suppose be was. The lamilady said she would give it to him. She told me she remem bered my being there a little while ago, and that a police man had called o❑ Monday on a similar occasion fioin Marlborough-street. Thomas Lawrence, driver of the cab 2,007, said that on last Saiturciay week he was ordered t' the house where his lordship resided at 20 inioutes past nine in the morning, arid arrived there five minutes earlier, when his lordship, accompanied by 'a young man, got into his cab, at 25 minutes to 10. He then drove lion to Wilton-place, thence to Titchbourrie-street, the Union Club, Norfolk-strut, Sfrand, arid to the 'Efouse of Peer F, where he was discharged at 20 minutes to Inc. die then demanded 6s. 6i1., but his lordship refused to pay more than ss. 61, and he had now summoned him for the remainder of the fare. Mr. Arnold desired him to point out the mode by which he became entitled to it. Complainant said he had charged his lordship by time alone, and for the conveyance of an extra person, a page, taken up in Wilton place. Mr. Arnold asked whether his lordship had engaged the caion: , n by time ?_ Complainant replied that he had not , but he had made his charge that way, exclusive of the few minutes he reinained at his lordship's door before he started. Mr. Arnold observed that, under the old law, a driver might make his selection between rime and distarce ; but under the present he was not so entitled. The first not under schedule A, in the recent Act of Parliament, said " The above fares to be paid accerding to distance or time, at the option of the hirer, to he expressed at the commanc,ment of the hiring ; if not otherwise expressed the fare to be paid according to distance ;" and the mode of computation war to calculate the amount of distance, and then add any time which he had to wait, at the rate of 6d. for every 15 minutes crmpleted. A cabman could not charge for the time occupied in the travelling, un less, as before stated, specially agreed upon by the hirer; but be possesses the advantage of being able to n-ckoo b , th ways. The worthy magi,tratd then inqu red the amount of distance and time separately, arid the cabman said he had driven nearly four miles of ground, which would entitle him to 2s. The first stopraze he had was at Wilton-piace, where he remained 1i burr. It was but a slight stay at Titchbourny-street, only while his lordship was being shaved. There was a delay' nf 20 minutes at the Uni n Club, and half air hour at Nerfelk s•reet, so that he really had not overcharged his lordship in any way. Mr. Arnold asked him how he knew the time, as described. Complainant mid that the Wilton-place clock was be fore his eye for the hour and three-quarters, and the stoppages at the other places were about the time he deBcriberl. Mr. Arnold said it was his duty to raAke an order upon his lordship to pay the amount of fare elamurd, and 5-. coats. Complainant said that he had carti3d his lord.hip aboat the day before for hours, and u)uld not get a halfprnoy of hiu, and had to beg and pray of the grocer who kept the house where hi, lordship rJstded fur some money. Mr. Arnold said he. had nothing to do with that. LAMBETH.—TnicKs IN HORSE DEALING.-- limn Stoneham, a mi4dle-aged man, of shabby-gentee: appearance', who was described a 4 a " borse-couper," was charged, before Mr Elliott, with knowingly arid wilfully sellinil to Mr. Jol.if Pa"!and, a tradesman at Peckhain, a horse of such vicious habits as to be valueless. . Mr. Balland states? that the prisoner, by some means or other, found out that be wanted a horse, and brought him one of a very showy and, ap t arently, a valuable description, and persuaded him to purcha.e it for 71. 15s. together with his own bor-e, valued at 11/. He had not the animal long in his possession when he fund him not only to be a desperate kicker, but one of the most vicious and dangerous beasts that could be, and, in fact, such an animal that it was quite impossible to control, and as much as one's life was worth to ap proach. Mr. Elliott--Did the prisoner warrant the horse as quiet Mr. Balland—He did, sir. Mr. Elliott—Then you must proceed against him in a civil court for that misrepresentation ; ft is not a case that lean take coviisance of. Mr. Balland—But, sir, the prisoner is a horse-couper, and belongs to a regular gang that have made a good living by this horse. The animal, as I said before, is a showy and apparently valuable horse, and, therefore, they get a ready sale for him at a high price. When they accomplish this, their practice is to send a knacker to the purchaser, who informs him that the horse is fit for nothing but slaughtering, a• d the fact on trial being found but too true, the animal is bought beck for a mere trifle, and by this means the gang make a good thing of him. _ _ Prisoner—You had a fair trial of the horse before you boudit him. Whet more did you want ?
