Vtirt Vlibttiou SUN OFFICE, Seven o' Clock. QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) TUMULI. V. CRAWLEY. The question invclved in this case is a most important one—it is, whether an innkeeper has a lien upon the goods of a third party for a debt contracted with him. The plaintiff is a coachmaker in Long-acre, and the de fendant is the proprietor of the Norwood Hotel. The action was brought to recover the possession of a cariage which he had lint to a lady, named Jordan, who is dead, and who had resided a shorttime at the defendant's hotel. The carriage was lent for three, six, or twelve months, with a pair of horses, belonging to Messrs.. Wim bush. After Miss Jordan had resided about three months at the hotel, she left at the request of the defendant, as she was unable to pay for the carriage, on which hor arms bad been put, and a part of her ward robe w hich was afterwards sold , was d etained, but the , horses were given up. The verdict at that trial went for the defendant. A rule was subsequently obtained on the ground that a landlord could not have a lien on the property of a third party for a debt contracted by a guest. Mr. MARTIN (with whom was Mr. Hayes) showed cause against the rule. He contended that, as an innkeeper was bound to provide sustenance for his guest, he had a lien upon all goods which appeared to be lawfully in his possession. If he caused the loss of a guest's goods from want or proper care, he was liable to make the value good ; and again, he., had !clearly a lien upon the horse of a traveller which he had fed, so also had the proprietor of land into which the horse had strayed and committed injury. Mr. WHATELY, eho appeared in support of the rule, held that no landlord was bound to provide sustenance for all' persons who may enter his house. Mr. Justice Storey had laid it clearly down that a landlord was not bound to provide refreshments to persons who, he had reason to believe, could not pay or were paupers. Lord DENMAN inquired what eifference there was between a landlord seizing a portmanteau and a carriage? Mr. WHATELY said there could be little doubt that a portmanteau belonged to the guest; but there might be doubt about the ownership or a carriage. It was a common thing for parties who hired carriages to have their arms put on them. Lord DENMAN considered that the defendant was jus tified in detaining the carriage. The other Judges con curred. Rule discharged. FATAL COLLIERY EXPLOSION, NEAR BARNSLEY. EIGHTY-THREE LIVES LOST. (From the Wakefield Jourva/.) It is scarce two years since our readers were startled by an appalling colliery accident which took place at the Oaks' Colliery, near Barnsley, in which 73 human beings met with an untimely death. Great as was that loss of human life it becomes our duty to record an event of a similar character, which, in its fatal results, by fur exceeds that at the above woi ks. The intelligence reached us on Wednesday evening of another fatal accident in the immediate neighbourhood of that which took place at the Oaks' Colliery in March, 1847, and en making the necessary inquiries we were informed that some fifty poor miners had met with in stant death by an explosion in a coal-pit near to Barnsley. On arriving:at Barnsley:on Thursday morning the cor• rectness of the rumour received tearful confirmation, and the gloom which such an event was calculated to en ate in the locality was too clearly depicted in the sorrowing aspects of bereaved wives, mothers. and chiluren, who were wending their way towards the scene of wholesale devastation, which lies about two miles on the Sheffield side of Barnsley. After procceeding about a mile on the road towards the Darley Main Col liery (where the fatal accident occurred), we were met by rude but literal funeral processions following each other its rapid succession from the pit at Darley, sur rounded by frantic widows and childless parents, who had succeeded, not without some difficulty, in recognising their own kindred from among the heaps of fearfully mangled bodies from time to time sent up from the pit's mouth. The scene was at once savage and solemn, and on arriving at the works we found a further crowd of spectators anxiously waiting to know the fate of missing husbands, sons, and brothers, and ever and anon the shrieks of the females indicated that some fresh sufferer's . fate had been made manifest by the recognition of the body by its friends. From information gleaned on the spot we learn that the Darley Main Colliery is about 1,111 yards in length, 'has been regulaily worked fix the last ten or eleven years, formerly by Mr. Jarrett, hut latterly by Messrs. Jarrett and Jeflcock, the former of whom resides at Doncaster and the latter at Sheffiebt. According to one report we heard on the spot the pit had not been worked for some three weeks past until Wednesday, but from another statement (which we think the more correct) we are informed that the pit had been regularly worked up to the hour of the accident, and was only a fortnight since surveyed by Mr. Locke, of Snapethorpe Colliery. Wakefield, a surveyor, and re ported by him in a fit and proper state for work. On Wednesday morning several hands went down into the pit to their employ at about four o'elnek, and wero followed by the major part of the workmen at six. All seemed to go on the same as ordinary until twenty minutes to twelve at noon, when a violent ex plosion ensued, the re-port from which was distinctly heard by those parties who were on the surface. The alarm immediately spread and in about fifty minutes the atmosphere became suffici ently purified to admit of some parties venturing down the pit's mouth in a skiff, when only a faint idea was en tertained of the amount of lives which had been sacrificed. The mouth of the pit was surrounded b) soy , rat parties, some insensible, others quite dead, and a few who still survived were fearfully burned, and only survived a few hours. The number of sufferers who were rescued from the scene of destruction up to ten o'clock on Wednesday was twenty, but, in consequence of the difficulty in as certaining the number of hands in the pit at the time of the accident, all was doubt and uncertainty until Thurs day morning, when vigilant measures were taken for re- pairing the different parts of the pit which had been blown down, and for this purpose a number of masons were at once employed to brick up the different broken compartments, within which:numbers of poor fellows were securely embedded among the mutilated mass of earth-work. This having been partially efftcted, a number of men proceeded down the shaft, and commenced car rying the bodies to the mouth of the pit, from whence they were sent up to the surtace at intervals, where a crowd of persons awaited their being landed in a state of breathless anxiety. The majority of the sufferers were fearfully mutilated, so much so that it was totally impossible for many of the relatives to recognise the mangled corpses, unless by some peculiarity in the deeeastd'a dress. Nearly all the bodies last brought out were fearfully mutilated, and in several instances the head literally scalped, the hair burnt off, and the viscera obtruding from the lower portion of the body. A more horrible scene conld not possibly be conceived, and as cart-loads one after another were taken away to sur rounding houses numbers of maddened and anxious parents and wives ran after the vehicles and threw on one side the blankets, in the dreadful anticipation of recognising some one dear to them. This scene of horrid suspense continued throughout the early part of the day, and at three o'clock there only remained three bodies undiscovered, and these were expected to be found on turthee masonry being thrown up in the back portion, or what is technically called the " dip," or lower end of the pit. From the dreadful manner in which the sufferers in this part of the mine were disfigured, and the uniform destruction of all hands there emplo3ed, the supposition is that the fire damp explosion originated in that di rection. From later inquiries we learn that the number of hands, of all descriptions, in the pit, at the time of the acrAdent, was about 110. Of these twenty-seven were giJt out out alive on Wednesday evening, three of whom 'After% ards died. The bodies which could not be reached the same evening were, of Course, quite dead when they were approached on Thursday, and from a careful analysis of the numbers we find that the total number killed is 83, and that the number of hands ascer tained to have been in the pit when the explosion en sued was from 107 to 110. Of this number twenty-four only survive, who were l ocate d i n a part of the pit were the shock would ap pear to have been the least severe. It is therefore possible that this melancholy event, which has sacrificed near one hundred lives, and destroyed iii some instances all the male members of poor families (one instance of father and three sons being credibly reported to us) has not left one survivor to r,-cord his impressions of th e first manifestations or cause of this i explosion. The seiroine. The description of men who are employed n col -are, as our read e r s ar e probably aware, of three or four kinds; and may be divided for ordinary purp oses as Miners, who generally work in p a irs, and who are attended by one 1 . 1 " or ge nerally a —3• • ;There ar e also a number of boys eng a g ed as waggoner," who is d as " trappers." whose duties consist in opening and shut ting the different "Pa, as the waggons or other things pass through the shaft. A. third class are " daymen," or " jobbers," who attend:to all the necessary repairs re quired in a pit, and who answer to our notions of a Jack of-ail. Trades. , , The names of the " collien... da _ - y men," sad "trap pers," whose deaths have been fully ascertained, are respective heads, but the given , below, under their waggon-boys," who have m et an untimely end, we are " not able to fully supply, in consequence of these p ar ti es being somewhat migratory in their habits, and their real names and residences only ascertainable in a tow in. stances. _ _ . Tte following, with this exception, are the names of that. ° killed in each class resoPctively:— 'Colliers—Jahn, Winder, Thomas Darrin, John Dar- James Siddons,.Edward Atkinson, John Parsons, 3.2 n.

Trappers —Thomas Solis, William Hollin, William Gold, George Harper, Robert Gillott, William Hoylitnd, Thomas Rutley, Thomas Hardisty. Of the twenty-tour parties who survive we learn that the major portion have not sustained any serious injury, sad that all, with some one or two exceptions, are ex pected to survive the injuri( s they have received. ti, ill respect to the cause of the accident there are a raultitu , •e ,)f tumours, tending in some instances to reflect on the negli A cnce of the pri.prietors, and, in others cal culated to attribute this melancholy catastrophe to the reckless daring of the men themselves. All these, how ever, are wanting in credibility, as the survivors profess to be quite ignorant of the immediate cause of the ex plosion, and that up to the moment when they received the shock the " traps" were all acting prop er ly, th e a i r was as pure in their judgment as usual, and in addition, that the " foreman" had carefully examined the pit in all parts the same morning, as was his invariable custom. At present, therefore, all remains in mystery, save the astounding loss of life which has resulted. That the dis charge must have been tremendous in its force, and ge neral throughout the whole pit, is evident from the fearful mortality among those parties in the pit at the time. The whole of the bodies are lying in the township i❑ which the colliery is situated, and will so re main until the coroner's inquisition has been insti tuted. Mr. Badger, of Rotherham, is the coroner for the district and purposes opening his inquiry on the spot on Saturday morning. In the meantime it is anticipated that a Government Inspector will be down to examine the work in the course of this day (Friday), and in all probability the investigation of the causes which led to the fatal result will form the subject of a lengthened in quiry by scientific men, as from its violence and singular fatality it stands almost without precedent in the annals of mining explosions. FRAN CE. Yesterday the members of the Committee ap pointed to consider M. Billault's proposition on the Budget were nominated ; with two exceptions only, the members of it are in favour of the proposition and oppo-ed to the Ministers. The great majority of the law students have signed a protest against the authors of the violent attack on M. Lherminier, in the College of France. . The Minister of the Interior has addressed a cir cular to all the Prefects of Departments, recom mending them to watch carefully the formation of every society placing itself in communication with the association founded in Paris, under the title of Solidarite Republicaine. The Minister states in his circular, that although the place of meeting of the central society had been closed by the Government, he had reason to believe that the association still existed, and was endeavouring to form affiliated societies. The Government dispatched ordets on Wednesday to the authorities in the departments to proceed forth with to draw by ballot the jury which is to try the prisoners ordered to go before the High National CoLrt._ M. Baroche is to conduct the prosecution. La Presse contains the following pai : agraph, under the head of " Courage of M. Thiers :"—" On the 24th of February M. Thiers was appointed President of the Council. He had the destines of France and of Royalty in his hands, and he might have saved them. What did he do ? It s'est mare." The Members of the National Assembly forming the Mountain have resolved to establish a club, to be held twice a week in the Socialist Hall of the Rue Mratel, to which the public are to be admitted gratis. Letters from Cahors, in the department of the Lot, of the 21st instant, state that serious distur bances have arisen at Gourdon and Nozar, in that neighbourhood, in consequence of the tax collectors having insisted on the payment of the additional 45 centimes imposed by the Provisional Government. The peasants had, in consequence, risen in arms, marched into Gourdon and pillaged the Hotel de Ville, and the Sous Prefecture. A detachment of the 35th Regiment of the line wag first marched siga►inst them, but that force being compelled to re treat by the peasants, it was found necessary to send fur additional troops trom Perignaux, and also a squadron of Cnasseurs from Montauban.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the London New Price Current of Jan. 26.) SUGAR.—To day there was more firmness OR the part of holders of all sorts of raw Sugar, whilst a meted/II decrease was apparent in the quantity brought to market. On the part of exporters and homt: trade buyers a greater desire was shown to operate. In West India a steady trade was con chided, and in some cases the rates paid are 6d above those of Friday last. The quantity sold amounts to 430, making 1,712 hhds, &c, for the week, and the market closes with a healthy appearance. At present , poly one Sugar sale is declared fur next week, and that consists of 150 hhds Barbadoes. REFINED.—To-day home trade goods met with less attention for home trade purposes, still lower rates art not acceded to. Bonded Crushed Sugar for forward de livery can be obtained at easier rates, and 28s to 29s per , cwt is the value. MATIRITIIIS.—This afternoon a good demand was ex perienced for Mauritius Sugar, and 3,140 bags at public sale were sold at fully former rates, and in some cases rather above. EAST INDIA.—Thig afternoon two public sales of Bengal Sugar took place, ani consisted of 2,164 bags, but a part only sold, owing to holders asking 6d to 1. advance. FOREIGN.—To-day the market for Foreign Sugar was firm, and a fair inquiry existed privately. None was offered at public sale. By private treaty for the week a cargo of fine brown Paraiba has been sold at 18A 9d; 300 chests good middling yellow Havannah at 21s 9d, and 100 tons low brown Manilla 15s. The Java Sugar taken in on Wednesday has been sold rather under the buying in price. MoLsiEs.—West India continues to be wanted, and former advanced rates are well supported, the sup ply also continues to get smaller. The sales for thf week are 500 putts. There is a fair sale for Bengal Treacle at I6s to 16s 6d; the market is firm. COFFEE.—This afternoon several purchases were made privately in good ordinary Native Ceylon at 34s 6d per cwt, and there is a firm market. Of Mocha 28 bales at aution, of low quality, were taken in at 39s to 42s per owl. Of Rio Coffee 6,000 bags of good ordinary have been sold afloat at 28s to 29s per cwt. TEA.—Black met with more demand and realised firm rates; common sound clean Congou is with diffi culty to be purchased under Bid per lb. Green has beau dealt in with caution, yet holders appear unwilling to accept lower rates. For Pekoe and scented Teas there is, however, a dull sale upon former t e rm s . COCOA. 2 British Plantation is wanted, and full rates are offered ; but holders insisting upon an advance caused the private operations to be of little moment At public sale the sound of 117 bags of Trinidad was taken in. The value of Foreign is from 261 to 27s 6d per cwt; there has, however, been little passing by pri vate treaty, and none was offered at public sale. Ram—To-day only a moderate business was done in East India Rice privately at former rates. At auction 160 bags Brazil were taken in at 13s for good bold white, and 20 barrels Tapioca at 81d per lb. for fine. SAGO.—Pricca have suffered a decline of Is to 2s per cwt. At auction 1,162 boxes were all sold. Of Calcutta trrowroot 399 tins realised sid to 6d per lb. Sago Flour is little wanted. Farina is dull of sale. SPICES.—To-day at auc'ion 356 bags African Ginger, with all faults, sold at 25s to 26s 6d; 309 bags 24 bale Pod Pepper, very ordinary and dusty 7s to I ls, one lot fair 335; four pkgs Cayenne is 6d to is 10d. Pimento is in better supply, and 413 bags went id to id cheaper; good mid sold at 3id to 3P, mid 34d, ord 34d, and da maged 3d to 3id per lb. FRUIT.—In Currants there has been a fair business doing this week at a small advance in price. A parcel Gt Fine Vostizz sold at 395. The demand for Valentia Raisins continues steady. In other descriptions of Fruit their is no material alteration.

ETRUSCAN VASE.--One of the most remarkable and beautiful works of modern art which we have ever witnessed, or which it is possible to conceive, is now on view at th e rooms o f M essrs . H unt an d Roskill, Princes -street. It is a silver vase, about twenty-three inches in height, and partaking of the Etruscan form. It is, however, chiefly remarkable for the true artistic genius which has conceived, and the dexterous mani pulation which has executed, such an extraordinary variety of beautiful ornament on the exterior. The war of Jupiter with the Gigentes, or giants, is the subject illustrated, the mighty Jove being seated on his eagle on the lid of the vase, and hurling his thunder bolts against the monsters who on all sides assail him. This is worked in alto relievo. The most accurate ex• pression has been thrown into every countenance, and the idea of muscular action is conveyed with the utmost fidelity. Various other subjects, in basso relievo and alto relievo, cover the vase. It is the workmanship of a German, named Antoine Vechte, and has been made to the order of Messrs. Hunt and Roskill. It is valued at 2,oool.—Manchester Examiner. An examination was made on Tuesday by the Trinity Board of an improvement in the construction gob a le s r h .

The case has been remitted to the sheriff. From the facts which have transpired, it appears that on Saturday night heeame int o t h e h ous e, accompanied by the woman referred to. As he was considerably under the influence of liquor at the ti me , hi s d a ughter, who is an interesting girl, not more than ten yt'ars of age, remonstrated with him; but all the rejoinder she received was a command to leave the house, or he would throw her out of the win dow. The poor girl, terrified at the threat, endeavoured to leave the apartment; but, as her brutal parent had unconsciously locked the door, she could not open it, and told him so. With an oath, the wretched man ran for ward to wher e th e c hild was standing, and lilting her in his arms, carried her towards the window , and thrust her out, shutti ng it down upon her. The girl, in her agony, caught h o ld o f t h e w indow sill with her hands, awl hung there as long as strength held out. In this effort her fingers %ere cut and blistered, and her feeble strength was soon exhausted, and she fell heavily down on the pavement, where she was picked up. Had she fallen in any other position than she did, the result, in all probability, wou ld, h ave b een immediate death, the window from which s h e was thrown being on the secund floor. It is not known yet whether her injuries are likely to prove o f a ser i ous ki n d. If the spine, a s th ere is too much reason to fear, has been injured, her ulti mate recovery is very doubtful.—Gktsgow Chronicle. Seven sheep out of a flock which had strayed upon the Helldal and Windermere line on Thursday evening week were killed by the mail train from Bit thwaite, or so mangled that it was found necessary to slaughter them.—Cumberland Pacguet. LAW IN PREROGATIVE COURT, Jan. 25. (Before Sir JOHN DODSON.) EVANS V. DUTTON. Dr. R. PHILLIMoRE applied to the Court to grant ad minis' ration to ..t.usaa Evans, niece of Mrs. Dutton, who mane a will, dated the 19!it July, 1840, bequeathing various sums to different parties, the whole of which did nut exceed 200/., and-desired all her debts, funeral ex pelises, lice., to be paid by her executors hereinafter named. These were not named in the body of the will ; but under her signature and the attesting clause, she nominated her brother, James Dutton, and Mrs. Evan s , her executors. The Learned givilian contended that this was not good in law, and quoted the case of Thomas Owen. in vol. 2, Curteis's Reports, page 242. Therefore the parties could not prove the will. Dr. HARDING, for the executors, opposed the appli cation, and held the case above quoted not to be the point, but referred to that of Esther Powell, v01.,1, Robertson's Reports, page 421 ; also Grant v. Les ter, vol. 3, Phillimore ; and Fermis v. the Marquis of Hertford. If, said the Learned Advocate, a will is made, and therein the testator desires that its provisions shall be carried out by his or her exe cutors, who shall not be named in the body of the will, but " whose names," it shall be stated therein, '• will be found on a slip of paper in my bureau," this wuu!d be in corporated as part of the will, and probate could not be be refused to such executors. The. Comer would not consent to grant probate, but would allow the paper to be propounded. The COUNSEL, on the part of the executors, declined doing this, and in consequence the application of the niece of the testatrix was acceded ty, the costs to be paid to the executors out of the estate.

The testatrix, Rebecca Walker Wright, died in Au gust, 1841, leaving a will, appointing her three sons executors, but neither of these had proved the will, but one of them being now dead, his widow applied to the Court to grant her administration, or compel the sur viving executors to prove the will. 'The Learned JUDGE said he had no proof of a will being in existence, and the applicant's husband, having been one of the executors, he should not have suffered so long a period to elapse before coming to this court. Under all the circumstances it must stand over for the present. CATHARINE LOUISA IRVINE, DECEASED. Dr. HAGGARD applied for probate to be granted to the will of the testatrix, who died in July, 1846, with its alterations, some in pencil, and others in ink. It ap peered her property amounted to 1,6001., which was due on a bond from her brother, and, among other legacies, she gave 3001. to her elder brother, K hich was after wards altered to 2001., and which made the 13, qursts amount to the exact sum of the testatrix's property, but the witnesses could not say whether this alteration took pace before they attested the will, or after. The Learned JUDGI4 could only grant probate as it originally stood. SIMON SILYESTEIt ANSELL. DECEASED. Dr. ROBINSON said this was a will drawn up on one side of a sheet of paper, and in consequence of there net being room enough for the signature, it was attested n the opposite side, and asked for probate. The Learned JUDGE thought there was sufficient space, a; d after so many decisions of the Court on this point, he would not consent to grant probate, but would let it stand over. WILLIAM LITTLE, DECEASED. The testator died on the 30th of May, 1845, leaving a will and codicils. The will was written on three sheets of paper, and each sheet was signed. The property was between 9,000 L and 10,000 L The seal was placed to the signature on only one sheet; and a question arose whether the other two sheets had not been changed. The Learned JUDGE thought the will and codicils were original papers, and granted the probate. SARAH ANN TUCKER, DECEASED. The testatrix made a will in her own handwriting, and signed it without aay attestation. On the 15th of June, she having some workmen employed about her house, and having been informed that it was necessary for her to have two witnesses, called two of them into her kitchen and re-executed it, pointing out to them the previous signature, which she acknowledged. The Learned JUDGE granted probate to the executrix, Sophia Tucker. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (Before the ASSISTA.NT-JEDGE.) CHARLES COLIN BLANE V. A CONVICTION OF P. BINGHAM, ESQ.—This was an appeal by Col. Charles Cohn Blane, against a conviction of the above named police magistrate, adjudging him to be the putative fa ther of an illegitimate child. Mr. PARRY, in support of the conviction, said that the respondent, Bathe Sophia Mertz, was a young French woman, who had been in the millinery establishment of Madame Davies, in Grosvenor -street, and the appellant, Colonel Blanc, was a military man, of ripened years and considerably older than the respondent. She first be came acquainted with the colonel by meetit g him in the streets, in 1845, and without going into detail of the as signations made and kept by the respondent, he (the counsel) would at once say that this intimacy resulted in the birth of a male child in the month of April, 1848, at a town near Lisle, in France, and this child was the subject of the present inquiry. The Learned ASSISTANT-JUDGE said that a very nice question of law arose as to the putative father's liability, from the fact of the appellant being an Englishman and the child having been born in a toreien country. Mr. BALLANTINE (who, with Mr. Maynard, appeared far the appellant) said that would be the point upon which the case mainly rested. Mr. PARRY then called the respondent. Barbs Sophie Mertz, a very neatly-attired and pretty young woman, with a child in her arms, stepped into the eitness-box, and deposed as follows:—The child was born in France, at the house of Victoire Danay, veer Lisle, in the month of April, last year. Colonel Blane was the father of that child. She had lived in England twelve or thirteen years. Her mother lived at No. 14, Suffok-street, but she (witness) lived at Madame Davit a's, in Grosvenor-street, Bond-street. She first knew Colonel Blane in 1845. He lived at No. 'l6, in the same street, facing Madame Davies's, and he could easily see her as she in went and out of the house. He first accosted her in the street, at Madame Davies's door, and subsequently he used to speak to her whenever they ,met. About eight mouths afterwards She used to call upon him at his chambers, usually on a Sunday evening, and she remained with him algae three, four, and five hours at a time. She was confined on the 4th of April, and she returned to England on the 21st or 22d of the same month, leaving the chid in the care of a wet nurse. Before she went to France. she applied to the colonel for assistance, but be refused to render her any. She had received a great many letters from him, and those produced' were the same; they were in his handwriting. She did not mention to him the fact of her pregnancy till two months and fourteen days be fore she was confined. When she returned to England, she waited upon the colonel, in company with her cousin, Ferdinand Muller, and told him, in her cousin's presence, that she had been delivered of a child, and that he (the colonel) was the father of it. The colonel asked Mr. Muller to retire, which he did, and then the colonel told her that it was much more likely that her cousin was the father of it. She then called her cousin back, and repeated what the colonel had said, when her cousin, of course, denied the charge. Colonel Blane had seen her at Jullien's concerts, with her cousin, F. Muller, on the 15th October, 1847. Muller did not arrive in England until July, 1847. She challenged the colonel to deny that he had received her in his rooms for three or four years, but be did not deny it. He had asked her how much money would set her up in business as a milliner; he . also asked her what money she had, she replied enough for the present; he said that he would not forgive her for letting her family know what had occurred. A number of letters were here put in, to show that the appellant was in corr, spondence with the respondent during the years 1846, 1847, and 1848. They contained very warm expressions of affection, and generally com menced with " Ma chers Sophie—Ma tres chere Sophie." They were written in English and French, and each bore the signature of " Charles." In cross-examination the witness stated that she first went into the colonel's rooms in 1846, but nothing im proper took place between them until fifteen months before the birth of the child; she never sat on the sofa in the sitting-room. The colonel was always very kind and attentive to her, and used to read and amuse her by telling stories. He was twice her own age. Muller was her junior by a few years. She first told the colonel that she was in the family way in January, 1848, and after that he refused to see her upon any terms. Whilst she was in France Colonel Blane wrote some insulting letters to her. Muller did not support herself and the child, but be gave her a little money on her return from France. She and her cousin Muller forced their way into the colonel's presence, because the porter refused to admit them. Muller pushed the man aside and went up to the colonel's room. She went to Jullien's because Colonel Blane gave her a private box on purpose, as he bad heard her speak of Muller, and he wanted to see him. The colonel was on the promenade; she took Muller on purpose for the colonel to see him. She denied that she went to the Princess's Theatre with Muller. She was not aware of the amount which was demanded of the colonel as expenses; it was, she jhought, above 100/., but not 1801. John Cottrell, the porter, proved that he had ad mitted Miss Mertz frequently to the colonel's chambers, and that on these occasions she remained with him fur some time. The Learned ASSISTANT-Junde said that he saw in one of the letters this passage, " I send you two tickets for Saturday night, of which I trust, my dear Sophie, you will be able to make use." What did this refer to?— Miss Mertz replied that they were tickets for Covent garden Theatre, which was just then opened as an Opera-house. Mr. Muller, who said that he was a commercial man in Mincing-lane, was called, and he corroborated that part of the evidence of Miss Mertz which referred to him. Miss Sophie Lambert was examined in French by Mr. Parry, and she staled that before Miss Xi.erts went to France she was reported to have been enceinte. Miss Mertz went to Madame Lubret, a sister of witness, who resides at Lisle. Thomas Davies, a porter at the Senior United Ser vice Club, proved the appellant's handwriting in the letters produced. Mr. BALLANTINE, in behalf of the appellant, sub mitted that the Court bad no jurisdiction to deal with the case, and in doing so he was aware that he also questioned the jurisdiction of the magistrate who made the order. The child was born in a foreign country, in France, and that child was urquestionably a French subject.. The ASSISTANT-JUDGE said it seemed to him that the jurisdiction attached at the time of the al•plication to the Court below—the jurisdiction was clear—but if the jurisdiction attached at the time of birth, the main point as to the jurisdiction of the Court would be dubious. 26, 1849, Mr. BALLANTINE contended that the child was Oa alien, and it was clear, tkough the statute under w hich the order was made did not express it is many words, " that it could only apply to ciiil44ren born in England and Vales," for even Scotland was excluded from its operation. Mr. MAYNARD followed on the same side, and con tended that the Act only applied to children born in England and Wales; besides, where was the evidence to show that the child produced was that of which the re spondent was delivered? The point was one of so much importance that he trusted, should the decision of the Court be adverse to Colonel Blane, an opportunity would be afforded of having that decision reviewed. The Learned ASSISTANT-JUDGE said that at first he was under the impression that the Court had no juris diction, but now he was of the same opinion as his triend Mr. Witham, who sat on the bench beside him, that the Court had jurisdiction. It was not birth that gave the jurisdiction. There was nothing in the statute upon which it could be held that if the birth took place in a foreign country an English Court had no jurisdiction; but it was indispensable that when application was made to the Court below, the child should be within the juris diction. The objection was utterly beside the merits of the case. Mr. BALLANTINE then addressed the Court upon the merits. He said that Colonel Blatie knew best whether he was the father of the child, and it could not be sup posed that if he was, that he would have incurred the enormous cost he hod done in resisting the demand and bringing it before that Court. Colonel Blanc believed that he was the victim of an artfully concocted scheme, and denied that there was the skhtest pretence for. the claim made upon him by the young Frenchwoman. The Learned ASSISTANT-JUDGE, in delivering judg ment, said here was a colonel in the army, living in Grosvenor-street; he saw a pretty little black-eyed French girl g,ing in and out of an opposite house; for six months he followed her about in all directions, and at length he induces her to visit him at his chamber. For what purpose did the colonel follow that poor girl about? Did he try to persuade her? Was there any man in that court so much of a monk or an anchorite as not to know for what purpose he adopted such a course? No one could doubt his object. La 1847 he got the girl into his rooms, where she continued to go on every Sunday even ing when he was in town, and he had written a number of letters to her of the most endearing nature, clearly proving the character of the intimacy which sxisted be tween them. Taking all things into consideration, there could be very little doubt of the intimacy. The girl's own story had been fully corroborated, and that proof was anything but creditable to Colonel Blanc. lie had clearly seduced the girl, and subsequently, when the fruits of the intimacy were indicated, he heartlessly de • serted her; and in reference to the cousin, at the colonel's instigation, his victim had taken him to the theatre—he, the seducer, turns round upon her, and ac cuses that cousin as being the father of her child, and in the end deserts her. Under these circumstances he would affirm the order, and direct the costs to be paid by the colonel forthwith.—Order confirmed. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. bIAIV SIOIV-HO U 8 E. Joseph Cushway, the diminutive person who shot Emma Tyler with a pistol on Wednesday week, was brought, ur rather carried, before the Lord Mayor for final examin ation, for he was in a most exhausted condition, trona mental suffering as well as from bodily debility. Emma Tyler arrived from St. Bartholomew Hospital, attended by one of the nurses, and was placed in a chair cloz , e to the table of ihe chief clerk. Her head was bandaged. The following is a condensed acccouat of the investiga tion, which lasted a considerable time. Emma Tyler, of No. 5, Angel-alley, Bishopsgate street, said, I remember Wednesday week. At a quarter to seven o'clock on that evening I saw the prisoner, whom I have known about eight months, in Angel alley, going to the shop where he worked. He said he would be back in about an hour, and upon his return he seemed rather angry. I asked him what was the matter; to which he replied, that he had had some angry words at the shop. I said, it you have had angry words at the shop, you have no occasion to be cross with me. He said that he was not cross with me. Eliza Graves, who lives in Angel-alley as well as he and myself . , was standing with we at the time, and at the same time a young wan, named John Somers, came by. I called to John Somers, and we talked to gether for ten minutes, but the prisoner was not near enough to hear the conversation. When Somers lett me I went over to the place in which Eliza Graves was standing, and foetid that the prisoner was gone. I soon afterward went into Skinner-street, and saw the prisoner sitting on a stone at the corner of the alley, and Eliza Graves standing by him. The witness here mentioned several similar indiffe rent matters of conversation which, with some intervals, occurred between them, and then proceeded:—He had his hand in his pocket, and his looks frightened me. Eliza Graves asked him why he looked so wild, and be replied it was enough to make him. I laughed, and asked him, " Why is it?" He said, "Never mind." I then heard the report of a pistol, or something of the sort, and I felt that I was wounded. I fell to the ground, and I found that I was wounded on the left side of the head. I tried to rise, but I fell again. The prisoner was then gone. I did not know what happened till 1 got to the hospital, where I have been ever since. The LORD MAYOR—Has the prisoner been courting you? Witness—He has, my Lord, these six months. am nine!een years of age, and he is a little older. The Lout; MAYon-IDo you consider that he W&S jealous of .John Somers? Witues—l do, my Lord. I apprehend it was jealousy that made him do it. The LORD MAYOR—have y OR anythiug to add to your staterdent? Witness—Nothing, my Lord, but that Ido not believe he aas in his senses when he did it, and I should not wish at all to hurt him. The witness, who appeared to be deeply afflcA during the examination, then retire d. John Somers, a lad about 18 pars old, was then called. He stated that he had been talking to Emma T)ler on the evening she was sh. t. He saw the prisoner in Angel alley, but had no conversation with him, and did not 'oh. serve anything particular in anything th , ..t had occurred. He knew nothing of any courtship betvr,een the prisoner and Emma Tyler, and had had no quarrel with the pri soner at all. The prisoner, whet, during the whole of the investiga tion lay ticrors a chair, and appeared to be in the most bitter agony, raid "No" upon being asked whether he wished to say anything. The prisoner was then committed for trial. The - superintendent of the Wesleyan school in the neighbourhood in whicl the prisoner resided bogged to be allowed to say a few words. It was, be said, with great surprise that he had heard of the occurrence, as Cushway had been always known in the school as a mild lad, of very kind disposition ; and there was good rea son for believing that he had been excited by the ro mantic trash which filled the penny publications about town. The LORD ilevon advised the gentleman to be so good as to attend the trial, and describe the unfortunate prisoner there. _ GUILDHALL. A tall powerful young man, named William Barrett, who said that he was a regular cab driver, but who, in reality, is what is generally termed a " buck," that is a person attending the cab ranks to take care of the vehicles, and occasionally to execute a job if the right cabman was taking his dinner, or pla)ing a game at drafts, &c., was placed at the bar on a warrant for com mitting a violent assault, in conjunction with another not yet in custody, on a police-officer. John Butler, City police constable 115, said—About half-past six o'clock, on Tuesdiiy last, I was on duty in Finsburv-pavement, and found Alfred Coe (the man not in custody) standing on the footway smoking a pipe. I required him to leave the pavement, and go to his rank and smoke, and he replied, with an oath, that he would not. The prisoner, William Barrett, then came up, also smoking a pipe, and said they would stand there, and no one should move them. I said to them that they knew the regulations, that in consequence of the numerous complaints my instructions were not to allow them to be there, and that if on my return from the end of the beat they still remained, I should convey them to the station house, upon which Barrett flung his pipe into the road, and said "You —, you shan't t.ave a chance of that ; I have been waiting for an opportunity to serve you out, and now I mean to do it." He then struck me in the left eye, knocked my hat off, and seizing my hair with one hand, struck me in the face several times with the other, until I fill with the prisoner on the top of me. He then jumped up and, commenced kicking me about the head. Coe laid bold of me and prevented me getting up, while Barrett struck me twice more in the face with his clinched fist. I then managed to get up and drew my staff, and made several blows at the prisoner; but did not strike him, as Coe caught hold of my arm, and Barrett, after giving me several blows, wrenched the staff from my hand and felled me to the ground with a blow at the back of the head, and while down, I was still ill-treated by the prisoner, Coe crying out, " Give it him, Bill, don't spare the —." I called out murder, when both Coe and Barrett ran away, leav ing my staff and hat. I am now under the surgeon's care, and unable to do duty. Alderman SALOMONS asked the prisoner if he wished tosay anything? The prisoner replied that he was struck first,and certainly returned the compliment; but d e ni i d using the truncheon, which, he said, was used by a la bouring man who was passing by. Alderman SaLomons—Why did you not prevent that assault? Prisoner—Bt cause he (the officer) is a com plete vagabond and scoundrel. If he had been a man, I would have assisted him; but he will not let us get a living. Alderman SALOMONS—He has a duty to perform, and when he tells you what his orders are, you have a right to obey them. I shall stud you to prison for one month. Prisoner (laughieg)—l shall go for one month with great pleasure, and then (turning to the officer) said, with strong emphasis and a malicious grin, " Mr. Syntax." SOOTI-IWARK. .William O'Brien, the man alleged to be concerned with Duncan tied his wife in conspiring to defraud the London and North-Western Railway Company of 1201_ by pretending that they had ieeeived serious injuries Owing to a collision near Leighton Buzzard, was brought up on that charge. Duncan and his wife have 'before been under exami nation, the details of which have already appeared. O'Brien, who is a party also implicated in the charge, has kept out of the way since the warrants were applied for and issued, until the preceding day, when he was taken into custody at a, lodging-house in Alien-street, Berwick-street, Soho. The policeman, in describing the particulars of O'Brien's arrest, said that when be was informed of the nature of the warrant issued against him, he said that Duncan was a traitor, or words to that eft.ct. Mr. COTTINGLIABI said that if the prisoner wished to state t:nything on the subject, of the charge he wcAthi hear bun, but that he was not called upon to do ; and as the other prisoners were remanded, and would be rought up iin ru. , :!! day, erhous h 9 ha Ih., eservo v OC , ' & t 1 O 11 .
