LAW INTELLIGENCE (THIS DAY); ROLLS COURT. KITE V. SMITH.-JUDGMENT. In this case, which came before the Court upon nr. tion at the last seal, The Master of the Rolls, on taking his seat this morn ing, stated that since the case was before him he hal carefully read the papers, and was of opinion that he ought to make no order upon the motion. It appeared that the plaintiff while a minor bad got considerably into debt, and had given securities the day after he came of age to the extent of upwards of 12,0001. The bill was filed to impeach those securities, on the ground that the plaintiff was not liable to pay them ; and, also, for an injunction to restrain the de fendant from proceeding with an action-at-law to recover the amount of the bills given by the plaintiff. An in junction was obtained, (=parte, for that purpose, and a motion was made at the last seal to dissolve that in junction, on which motion his honour now gave judg ment, declining to make any order upon it, except that the costs should be costs in the cause. His Honour then proceeded to bear motions. All the other Equity Courts heard motions, it being a seal day, but nothing of the slightest interest occurred in them during the morning. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. (Sittings in Banco.) CLAYTON V. PENWICK. Mr. Hill, Q.C., and Mr. Addison were for the plain tiff ; and Mr. Temple, Q.C., and Mr. Unthank for the defendant. This was an action for trespass for removing certain turnpike gates placed on the road from Newcastle-on- Tyne to North Shields, and came before their lordships for their opinion with reference to the various local and general acts bearing on the question. The plaintiff was clerk to the trustees for putting into effect au act for repairing these roads passed in 1831, and the defendant was the surveyor to the Corporation of the borough of Tynemouth, enforcing the public Health Act of 1848. On the 7th January, 1852, the Council had occasion to use the North Shields road with carts and horses, and pass over the sites of former turnpike gates, on which the plaintiff caused bars to be put up, and refused to let the horses and carts pass without payment of toll. The defendant then removed the bars and passed over the roads, which was the trespass complained of. The roads and branches passed within the borough of Newcastle-on-Tyne,Tynemoutb, Shields, and other tb wn ships. The question for their lordships' opinion was, whether the trustees for putting into execution the Ist and 2d of Wm. IV., chap. 72, were entitled to collect tolls within the borough of Tynemoutb, and which de pended on the point whether the local Board of Health were authorised, in a provisional order they made in 1851, to direct the Towns Municipal Act to be incorpo rated with the Local or Improvement Act, so as to make it of force within the borough of Tynemouth. The tolls were mortgaged in a heavy amount, and assuming they were put up on the road within the borough in a legal manner, the tolls collected there formed a very material, if not principal, part of the fund,from which the parties who have advanced the money were to look for repayment, and that these tolls were mortgaged prior to the passing of the General Board of Health Act, and the attempt to incorporate the 50th sec tion of the Towns Municipal Act, so as to make it a binding enactment within the borough of Tynemouth. The North Shields Local Act reserved the right of the mortmees. The grand question was, whether if the 50th section of the Towns Municipal Act did not apply, and the trustees of the roads may, in certain places, erect toll bars, collect tolls, and repair the roads, whe ther they were justified in doing so at the particular places they had erected them.' Lord Campbell, at the commencement of the case, observed that the plans provided for the guidance of the Court in the case, by the plaintiff, were so complicated as to rather mystify than elucidate the case, extending over as much paper as would cover the area of the Court, and directed they should not be allowed in the costs ; and Mr. Justice Erie remarked that the interlacing of so many acts of Parliament, and sections of the acts, made this a very complicated case. The arguments had not concluded when we went to press. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. :Sittings in Banco.—Bef&e the Lord Chief Baron, and Barons Alderson, Platt, and Martin.) JOHNSON AND OTHERS V. SHREWSBURY AND BIRMINGHAM RAILWAY COMPANY. Mr. Raymond appeared to show cause against a rule obtained by the plaintiffs for a review of the Master's taxation of costs, in the matter of an arbitration between the parties. It appeared that the action was for a breach of contract entered into between the plaintiffs, who are contractors with the defendants, for the working of their line for the term of seven years, but which was broken off before the expiration of that period in consequepoe, as was alleged by the defendant=, that the plaintiffs had worked the line improperly. The learned counsel sub mitted that there was nothing in this case to distinguish it from many others of a similar kind, and there was nothing to take it out of the general rule and practice. Baron Martin observed that surely the Master must be the beat judge of the taxation of the costs in question. The Chief Baron said that the reason *hy the rule bad been granted in the first instance was because the Master thought the Court might fortify the opinion that all the Masters seemed to entertain, that two counsel ought not to be allowed in an arbitration case, which was one of the questions arising in this case. Baron Alderson also observed that the Masters were guided by general practice and discretion, and if they were not trusted-to the Court would have to tax the costs in every matter. Mr. Raymond having been further heard, Mr. Phipson argued at some length in favour of the rule. - - - - The Court finally decider' that the rule must be made absolute in the matter of reviewing the taxation of part of the costs, and that the question of counsel must be left to the consideration of the Master. BANKRUPTCY COURT. (Before Mr. Commissioner Fonblanlue.) The power of the Court to grant execution for costs: IN RE BERESFORD. This bankrupt was described as of Portugal-street, Lincoln's-inn-fields, cabinetmaker, and to-day was ap pointed for his last examination. Mr. Lucas opposed on behalf of the trade assignee, who was the only creditor who had proved his debt, but his Honour, after hearing Mr. Chidley, allowed the bankrupt to pass, reserving all questions as to conduct until the certificate meeting. Mr. Lucas then applied for an immediate execution to issue from this Court against a person named Davison, for costs in a petition to dismiss the assignee for mis conduct. It appeared that Davison, who is a friend of the bankrupt, sought to prove a debt and choose him self assignee, but from doubts his Honour would not admit the proof, and the assignee was ap pointed, and as there were no assets he made inquiries in the belief that property had been concealed. Davison then petitioned the Court to dismiss the assignee, but his Honour considered that the charge was solely to get rid of the assignee, and dismissed the peti tion with costs. Davison to avoid this petitioned the Insolvent Court, and the present object was, to get an immediate execution before he could obtain protection. His Honour said it was a very unusual application, but it would be granted. LLOYD'S SHIPPING--(THIS DAY.) LONDON, June s.—Wind and weather this day at noon, S.W. ; light breeze, and cloudy.

By the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam-ship Indus, Captain Soy, with the India, China, and Medi terranean mails, in charge of Lieut. Purves, R.N., Ad miralty agent, we have dates from Alexandria, May 22 ; Malta, 25 ; and Gibraltar, 30. The Indus brings 126 passOgers—among whom are Lord and Lady Haddo, the on. Master Gordon, and the Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of Colombo-2 packages of specie (value not stated), and a cargo consisting of 137 bales of silk, 50 boxer of lemons, 5 cases of gum, 6 packages of ivory, 4 cases of shawls, 32 cases of piece goods, 45 packages of wearing apparel, and 139 packages of general merchan dise: During the homeward voyage the Indus spoke, on the 28th ult., the Royal mail steam-ship Medway, with hordes and troops, bound to the Crimea ; on the 27th, the 'screw steam-ship Saxon, steering for the Black Sea ; 28th, the screw steam-ship Peninsula, bound for Ports mouth ; 31st, the Orinoco and Kangaroo, and two small screw gun-boats, bound to the Crimea ; also the English barque Emilia, for Constantinople. The usual Egyptian squadron was lying at Alexandria when the Indus left. At Malta were her Majesty's ships Dauntless and Firebrand, the Peninsular and Oriental Company's screw steam-ship Rajah, and the steam-transports New York, City of Aberdeen, and Marley Hill. Our intelligence from Gibraltar is to the 30th ult. in clutive. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's screw steam-ship Sultan, with the Indian and Mediterrane an mails of the 20th ult., en route to Alexandria, arrived out at Gibraltar on the 25th. She left at midnight for Malta. • The Europa screw transport, with shot and shell for the Crimea, left for her destination on the after noon of the 24th ult. Her Majesty's steam troop-ship Himalaya arrived at Gibraltar from Malta on the 27th ult., bringing the Bishop of Gibraltar and lady. During the forenoon of the 29th the G and L divisions of the Land ,Transport Corps embarked on board this ship. Siitteen fat bullocks were also placed on board for the' UBO of the Royal Navy. A large quantity of forage and water had also been shipped for the use of 80 horses and 300 mules, which she is to convey from Gibraltar to the seat of war. Owing to continued rain these animals were not embarked until the morning of the 30th, and it was expected she would leave for Balaklava during the day. Capt. RW. Duff, late paymaster of the 92d Highlanders, takes hie passage in the Himalaya, for the purpose of entering upon his new duties, he having been appointed paymaster to the troops composing the reserve depots at Malta. The hired Spanish steamer Cantabria, which has taken in a cargo of munitions of war, &c., for the British army in the East, will shortly leave for Balaklava. One corporal and 4 gunners of the Royal Artillery proceed in charge of the stores on board this steamer. The United States' steam-frigate Saranac left Gibraltar-bay on the morning of the 29th ult., taking in tow the American frigate Cumberland, bound to Boston. The steam-frigate only goes on a cruise to Lis bon, touching at Cadiz, and afterwards will return to her station in the Mediterranean. Her Majesty's paddle wheel steam-frigate Centaur, which arrived out at Gib raltar from Plymouth on the 24th ult., left on the, 27th for England, with the invalided soldiers who had lost their passage by the steam-transport Australian. The Sardinian screw-steamer Conte di Cavour, in the French transport service, was taking in a supply of fuel before starting for Constantinople. She will take in tow the British sailing-ship Timour, laden with stores for the same Government. The American ship Nonpareil like wise put into Gibraltar on the 28th ult. with a cargo of coal for the French service, for orders from the agents. The Nonpareil proceeds to Marseilles, and, after da charging there, will take in stores for the French army in the East. The British steam-transport Alps, with troops on board, passed to the eastward on the 27th ult. The East Anglian arrived at Gibraltar during the nigli of the 29th ult. in six days and a half from Malta, with odd stores for England. The Sardinian steamer Conte di Cavour was to leave for Malta and Constantinople on the evening of the 30th ult., together with the sailing Hhip Timour. The Oscar, which arrived at Gibraltar from Constantinople on the 26th ult., was detained in conse quence ,of some defects in her machinery. The 13th Light Infantry, under the command of Lieut.-Colonel N.lark Kerr, was ready for embarkation for the seat of war, and only waiting for the steam-transport, which was expected from Malta, to convey them. There will only remain at Gibraltar, after the' 13th leaves thets4th, (56th, and 92d Regiments, which are to be relieved on the arrival of the three militia corps expected from Eng- Land. The screw steam-ship Baalbec arrived out at Gibraltar from Liverpool on the 24th uit. M. BresPon, French Consul at Cadiz, having ex ehanged with Consul Lemperani at. Gibraltar, arrived it that port on the 25th ult. M. Lemperani was to iproceed by the next packet to Cadiz. Great alacrity was observable among the soldiers of 4 the garrison at Gibraltar in carrying ammunition from the magazines down to the quay at New Mole, to be put on board the hired Spanish steamer Cautabria for conveyance to the seat of war for the use of the British p.rmy. The Commissariat hare shipped in this steamer 1.92 cases, consisting principally of hospital comforts for the use of the sick and wounded in the East. The latest rates of exchange at Gibraltar for bills on London, at 90 days' rate, were quoted at sli ; Paris, do., sf. 37c. ; Marseilles, sf. 38c. ; Genoa, sf. 43c. No alteration has taken place in Spanish pillared dollars !since the last advices. GENERAL PELISSIER'S ADDRESS TO THE FRENCH ARMY. The following order of the day was issued by General Pelissier on assuming the command of the army :-- GENERAL ORDER. Soldiers,—Our former General-in-Chief has made known to you the will of the Emperor, who at the Gene ral's request has placed me at the head of the army of the East. In receiving from the Emperor the command of this army so long exercised by such noble hands, I feel certain that I express the sentiments of all of us, when I proclaim that General Canrobert carries with him all our regrets and all our gratitude. To the brilliant souvenirs of Alma and of Inkerman he has added the merit, greater still perhaps, of having dur ing a formidable winter campaign, preserved for our country and our sovereign one of the finest armies that France ever had. Yon owe it to him that you are now in a position to bring the struggle to an issue (engager cl fond la lutte) and to triumph. If, as I feel certain it will, success should crown our efforts, you will not fail to pronounce his name in your songs of victory. He has resolved to remain in our ranks, and although he might have had a higher com mand he wished but one thing, and that was to put him self at the head of his old division. I have deferred to the entreaties, the inflexible desires, of him who w as but yesterday our chief, and who w ill ever be my friend. Soldiers, I have the fullest confidence in you. After so many trials, so many generous offorts, nothing can be too much for your courage. You all know what the Emperor and the country expect from you. Be what you have hitherto been, and thanks to your energy, and to the assistance of our intrepid allies and the brave sailors of our squadrons, we shall conquer, with the help of God. PELISSIER. Head-quarters before Sebastopol, May 19, 1855. General Canrobert's adieu to the army has been already published. The following is the order of the day issued by him on resuming the command of the Ist division : SECOND CORPS.-FIRST DIVISIONAL ORDER. Comrades of the First Division,--You have g:ven me under circumstances - the most arduous and the most glorious so many proofs of devotedness, you have in spired me with so great confidence that while volun tarily and out of a sense of duty to my country, resign ing the command in chief of an army of 130,000 men, I desired above all things the honour of again becoming your immediate chief, and fighting at your head against the enemies of France and of the Emperor. CANROBERT, General of Division, Aide-de-Camp to the Emperor, commanding the tat Division of Infantry. Before Sebastopol, May 22. Seven or eight clerks in the French telegraph offices have been dismissed lately, in consequence, as it is re ported, of their having sold news. The funeral of Marshal Har!spe has just taken place at Lacarre, near Bayonne, in the midst of arij immense concourse of the inhabitants of the surrounding . country, who bad flocked in, to bid a last adieu to him whom they were accustomed to call "Le Boi des Basques." The whole of the authorities of the arrondissement, the prin cipal landowners of the country round, and about a score of ecclesiastics, formed the cortege in attendance on the hearse. After the mass had been performed, and the coffin was lowered into the grave, M. Larrabure, ex-re presentative, and General Poinsignon delivered addresses in honour of the deceased, and the ceremony terminated. Pm Put 13j 31 i / LITERATURE. , I gustaee Conyers. A Novel. By James Hannay, author of " Singleton Fontenoy," " Satire and Satirists," sic. 3 vols. Hurst and Blackett. We hav e here presented a stirring and sparkling romance, whose dashing and vigorous style seems kindred to the element chosen for the theatre of its exploits—" The open sea ; the blue, the fresh, the ever free" —and whose spirit exhibits a fire and animation worthy of the chroniclers of those " hearts of oak " who are born to rifle over the • mighty waters. The story relates the adventures of a clever 'a n d enthusiastic youth, who early de voted himself to his idol —the sea. " Those who go down to the sea in ships, and occupy their busi ness in great waters " were ever the objects of his envy and admiration, and to serve under "The flag that braved a thousand years The battle and the treeze" was his day dream and his night vision; as to be enrolled in the band of naval heroes was the pin nacle of his early ambition and the bow of promise to his after years. The feelings he experienced on first giving a definite expression to his wishes are well described. It is said that there is no way of accounting for the mysterious longing that 'seizes some for the sea than by supposing that some men are born sailors as others are born poets. " Their case is like that of the sea-bird, which has been hatched fai away among the rocks and caves. When it comes to its strength, the nameless Want seizes it ; it rises into.the air, and, with a sure instinct, makes for the eternal waters. These sea urchins of England have the sea-bird's eagerness ; they must follow their instincts or they pine. The geniuS whispers your part is there. Come what may you and tile sea have a part to play together; it has been arranged from the beginning of the world, and you must fulfil your destiny." Yet Eustace Conyers was to learn, as all must, that there is disappointment in the realisation of the most cherished plans, and all was not sunshine with him when he first joined the service. To put up with hardships and rough usage he expected, and to be misunderstood and kept back in his course ; but he did not expect to meet with the chill of in difference when he was burning with enthusiaim, and to see all around, or a great many, regard as . a business employment, or% dull task, the profes sion that he believed the vocation of heroes and the passport to glory— " The spirit of your fathers Shall start from every wave ; The deck it was their field of fame, And ocean was their grave." Such was the tenour of Eustace's thoughts when he , became a son of the sea. His youthful heart that had glowed with fervour where " Blake and mighty Nelson fell," sunk within him at the uncongenial nature of his companions. He was fortunate' in having for a friend Walter Lindsay, who could sympathise with his feelings while discouraging their indulgence. He led him to look on his work with his own exalted vision, to measure it by his own lofty standard, without regarding or regretting that others did not or would not act likewise. By this judicious training, Lindsay pre vented the young enthusiast from becoming unjust to others, or unfair to himself. Eustace had his reward. Where he had fixed his labour, there was his mind's energy ethployed, and his heart's devo tion centred. The interest increases when Eustace and his friend Lindsay join the " lovely Lotus," whose noble and honourable commander, " Montfichet," was a striking contrast to the smooth and uncertain "Moggy." Here Eustace distinguished himself by saving the life of his persecuting enemy, the first lieutenant, who was for ever annoying him by petty tyranny and unfounded charges. This incident increased his popularity among a community ever ready to ad mire the noble and generous as to applaud the free and daring. A painful ordeal had to be passed througli by the Lotus and her crew. She was ordered to the coast of Africa. This was in deed a touchstone to naval ardour, and a refining fire to put aside the false from the true in the de clarations of attachment and devotion for the ser vice. It is truly observed that the sufferings of those whose record is, "Died on the coast," is not duly appreciated, nor are their services rightly esti mated. "Let the Englishman honour those gallant gentlemen, for they lived and died, not with the inspiration of all Europe looking on, but far away among rank dews and barbarians, where body and soul are alike weary, and were faithful to England when England was little thinking of them. To follow Collingwood's or Nelson's pendant into the smoke rising from a shattered and ruined enemy's fleet, the thought of it kindles the spirit as with a ray of sunlight ; but to lay down your life in the sweltering steerage of a 10-gun brig, with mawkish water nauseating your lips, think of those fine fel lows, oh countrymen, and do a little stroke of wor ship in honour of the unsuccessful and unknown brave." Eustace met with a singular adventure. He was entrusted with the care of a captured schooner which was detected in the slave trade. By mischance he was given a very bad selection from the Lotus' men. After some time they con certed with the crew of the schooner and mutinied. 1 The unfortunate Eustace was confined in the cabin for several days, and his sufferings may be ima gined. To die far away from the presence of friends or even honourable enemies, with no pros pect of his name being cleared before the members of his profession, or the memory of his death being softened to the hearts of his family. At last he found the door open one morning, and rushed on deck. Here all was deserted, and lie de termined to try for himself. " He was at bay;" he thought that he represented the brave men of the Lotus, and was the descendant of a family that had adventured much by flood and field. In a small boat he contrived to reach a shore at some distance. This proved to be Brazil, where he was happy in meeting with an enlightened friend in Don Emanuel, a proprietor of a large estate there.. He found an agreeable resting-place in his man sion from the perils of the deep, and the plots and manceuvres of which he had been the object, and to which he had nearly fallen a victim. Eustace Conyers was ambitious of becoming a hero, but he was not desirous of being a martyr ; and while hi! would joyfully have yielded his spirit in battle, "Looking proudly to Heaven from the death-bed of fame," he was not averse to find himself on terra firma, having narrowly escaped murder on the high seas, without even the prospect of a trial " looming in the distance," in which his countrymen might have dealt justice for his untimely fate. After a short time in the fascinating presence of the delightful Don Emanuel, Eustace rejoined his beloved " Lotus," where he was fairly and kindly received by his commander, Montfichet, who carried his lofty ideas of honour, and his principles derived from a long line of august ancestors, into the details of his daily life, and the concerns of his noble profes sion. After some hard service, during which some gay spirits were consigned to African graves, the good ship was recalled to her native England, where a new era is entered upon by our hero. He left an inexperienced boy, but he returned an in telligent and observant young man, eager as ever, but more stedfast, and as kind-hearted, but more noble-minded. His home was delightful, but soon new charms were found to fascinate the re cently-returned wanderer. Elizabeth Sycamore was the graceful heroine whose presence was to gladden the bright scenes of his regained paradise, and to shed over his existence that mellowed splendour and prismatic beauty which renown when he had sought it and family affection when he had rejoiced in it, had not as yet foreshadowed or foretold. For his energetic and practical temper a magic spell was woven in the serene superiority and calm unworldliness of the heiress of the Sy camores. He regarded her as something pure and perfect from the coarse and actual. "Her eyes are like the fishpools in Heshbon, by the gate of Bath rabbin," he exclaimed to a friend, thus showing by so exalted a metaphor how high her image was set up in his mental vision, and with what great thoughts he pondered over it. Succeeding duties and difficulties are then introduced, to make out what is called romance, but what all know too well might as well be named reality. The skill of the intellect may refine and, emblazon with the splendour of rhetoric and oratory, the treasures of the fancy may adorn and ornament with the jewels and precious stones of imagery, while genius gives vitality to fancied creations, and makes sparkling by its lustre and glorious by its touch ; but the truths of time are eternal, and nature is the same whether we chronicle her in joy or sorrow, hope or despair, because finished and fashioned with a master hand, because a master mind has shown how the noble spirit bears suffering, and the pure heart has seen heaven through the vista of its tears, the trials of the upborne soul and the consolations of the trust ing one are not imaginary. In the nameless mar tyrs of the world there have been many prototypes there are and will be. In the present instance Eus tace Conyers met with what might have been seen and expected all along. Tho mistake was that he, as well as the rest of his fellow-creatures, only looked to the present, not to the future. To use the lan guage of his vocation, in the calm and lull he for got that stories might lower, and he, unheeding and 1 unprepared, might find himself "drifti ng among the breakers." In the following passages of.thoesenalrorva-e tive many striking characters m a y b e met with. Mr. Conyers, the father of Eustace, whose for the ancient and romantic was touching and i teresting, although out o f d a t e an d antiquated. Mr . 1 Sycamore is graphically described as a man of utilitarian ideas, notions, plans, As a boy he asked—" Wh t butterfly I" " A ship t navigation laws." 4 6A t and principles. sugge a s e vi d as no t t h h e ing u se poe o a but f the was a hurdy-gurdy," &c., dTc. " The one thing the world wanted wa comnitm sense." From such a man not much rea son or feeling could be expected, and he was r stumbling block in the march of Eustace's eaglt course, and the terror of his daughter's quiete steps. With such materials for working out hi structure it is not surprising that the author bat produced an interesting and - entertaining story. It shows real life, and demonstrates right feeling. The most considerable portion is devoted to the contemplation and representation of naval affairs, which is a study that has always been consonant to the tastes and congenial to the spirit of a country " - Whose march is o'er the mountain wave, Whose home is on the deep."

Besides a very copious bio graphy of that vast and gorgeous museum of art, in which the creative energies of many ages and nations are attested, the elite, of its contents are pointed out in their respective localities, and criti cised in a fearless but genial spirit—a good idea being a t th e same time given of the treatment of art in F rance . The narrative is interspersed with anecdotes an d p erso nal reminiscences ; and two lithographed ground plans of the building lend their aid to a comprehension of its all but incom prehensible intricacies. A n ccount of the Life, Opinions, and Writings of John Milton, By Thomas Keightley. Chap man and Hall. Somewhere about a quarter of a century ago, the author tells us, he conceived the idea of en deavouring to render the noble poetry of Milton more intelligible, .and, consequently, more attrac tive and . usef u l o reader s in general, and the re sult is an annotated edition of the, poems now in the press, and the present volum e , which is chiefly but by no means exclusively, intended and adapted to serve' as a companion or introduction to it. The work is divided into thresietiopanli "setting s;thefirstfobrito-h graphical ; the second expo the' poet's opinions by quotations from his writings, with explanatory and critical re marks ; and the • third illustrativ e of the mean ing: and beauties of Milton's writings both in prose and verse ; a learned and able " th e In troduction to The Paradise Lo s t" concluding volume. Mr. Keightley is at no pains to conceal his 'admiration of the illustrious poet —an admira tion, however, characterised and modified by much learning, discrimination, and critical acumen. Without pledging ourselves for the correctness of all his conclusions and opinions, critical and other wise, from some of which we decidedly , dissent, we feel bound to accord him the merit of having per formed his task with commendable skill and fidelity, and to have produced a work well calculated to further the important object he has so long had in view.
