ROSTON-UNITED STATES. r From the Times' Special CorPcspondeid. ) BOSTON, OCT. 19. Those who gave the name of New Eugland to this group of the northern provinces of America were happier in their choice than most of the dis coverers and settlers who have dispersed the names of. the Old World over new regions with little meaning and much confusion of geography. New England might at first be only the expression of remembrance, but time has converted it into much more. The people worked in the spirit of the land they left ; there has been less infusion of the foreign elements that may be traced in other parts of America, and gradually New England has grown into a very close reproduction of the old. Both in town and country an Englishman finds much quite familiar to him. Landing at Boston, ,he was to rub his eyes slightly and recall the waste of ocean he has traversed before he thoroughly " realises" the fact that he is not at home ; the dif ference is so slight and to be remarked mostly in minor peculiarities. In New York, but for the language, he might be puzzled to say exactly where he was ; over that cosmopolite capital two or three European cities seem to have been shaken, and then stirred up with it. There is something of its Dutch origin ; the tree-planted streets, minus the canals, for instance, are importations from Holland, and among the bast things the Dutchmen have left behind them. There is much that is German, still more that is French, in taste, dress, and decora tion, and there are localities at once new and dilapidated, regu l ar ly b u ilt b u t sq ualid and I dis orderly, settlements that are the ragged fringe of its purple, which repeat but too faithfully the fea tures of the Liberties and St. Giles. The most distinctly British contribution to New York is, unhappily, the least favourable, a fact not forgot ten in auy account struck between the nations. But the capital of Now England, Boston, has only one character ; it is solidly and steadily English, set tled down into an English mould, and hardened in it. It has refused admittance to foreign fashions, or admitted them only with considerable modifica tion of their original type. The thoroughly French cafe you are delighted to find is still an exotic, it only throws a few innovations into the confec tioner's ; the completely German speisekeller, it is a pleasure to remark, does not flourish, not getting much beyond oysters ; nay, even the American bar-room, with its gay decorations and elaborate apparatus, is chastened and, so to speak, sobered ; much subdued in light and colour, it retires into back shops and premises so unobtrusive that often it is only known to the initiated. In this resist ance to foreign institutions there may be much' that is merely provincial, but something must also be ascribed to a kindred and commendable preju dice against things un-English, as there is an evi dent adherence to the national character in greater matters. The way of conducting business is quiet and orderly ; in New York it is a race, everybody appears to be running over each other, and the bustle of its traffic looks at times like a scramble. The city is not finished, and its people have never done work ; they are restless and feverish, always pulling down and building up, pressed for space, and ready to move Acheron to obtain it, digging two storeys below the street, and throwing up six floors toward Heaven in as many weeks, ruthlessly demolishing, but restoring with marvellous ra pidity. Boston has done with all that ;it has passed through the cycles of change and renova tion New York has yet to fulfil ; having taken its permanent form, it has only to extend outwardly, without continually tearing its interior to pieces to remodel it. It has not the immense commerce of New York, but, relatively, the arrangements it has established fsr conducting it appear more complete than those of the metropolis. A more perfect waterside quarter suffices to prevent the traffic from running over into and choking the thoroughfares ; the streets belong to the public, while in New York the community is, to a most inconvenient extent, ignored, and the front age sections of the public ways aro appro priated by somebody as their private premises. Boston, as it now exists, promises to endure. The abundance of granite in the State has favoured a very solid, though rather rough style of building. Many of the warehouses have a massive rugged ex terior ; but they are what they appear to be, not brick imposed on the world as marble by architec tural veneering. There can be no doubt of their substantiality ; this is indeed the characteristic of the city, and the tourist disposed to find resem blances may note that too as an English quality. Another feature of Boston that may be even more confidently claimed as a trace of the old country is the arrangement or non-arrangement of the streets, which display the true Saxon contempt of plan and uniformity. They have grown up and extended according to the caprice of the builders and the ne cessary concessions to individual property, with a striking freedom and independence of each other, which has produced lanes, courts, alleys, nooks, and no thoroughfares, the duplicates of which may he found in any old English city. In this respect Boston is Saxon, New York is Roman, and has been controlled ever since it began to spread, so that beyond its origin al boundaries it is all uniform, with straight lines and right angles, like the roads of a town section of the interior. Boston is a la byrinth in which you lose yourself, and say, "how Eoglish." The streets, too, are named, not num bered, an innovation Boston rejects or cannot adopt, not having that regular order which must pre-exist to render the system of numbering pos sible. It is a most convenient plan where it can be adopted ; the only advantage of the old method is that it compensates for its intricacy by recalling much of the history of a place, its celebrated names, and many of its traditions, to all which mere arith metic is fatal. PECULIARITIES OF BOSTON. The chief peculiarity of Boston is the singular blending of land and water around it. There were great capabilities for making it a Rotterdam, or even a Venic e , b u t th e pre f erence for land has decided against any striking similiarity to them, and the waters have long begun to be driven back from the city and out of it by embankments and filling up of the estuaries, to gain space f or more solid found a ti ons . Still, whichever way you go, there are bridges, Causeways, ferries, viaducts, and water on every hand. Four peninsulas project from the continent, in the recess of a spacious bay, and, converging, almost lay their heads together. Boston Proper is the centre of a group of four towns, divided by three narrow channels, through which four rivers fall into the harbour. The three suburbs of Charlestown, South Boston, and East Boston, thus divided from the great parent city, are struggling to be joined with it, and in every direction across the, unfortunately, shallow waters of these lake-like estuaries and creeks, the threads and lines of communication are thrown out ; 12 railway viaducts cross them from various points to the mainland, stretching away north, south, and west ; some of these lines intersect ie mid -water. Seen from an elevation, like that of the obelisk on Bunker's-hill, the puffing engine and its train ap pear to be gliding over the surface on a lino of road just wide enough to take the wheels and no more. There are besides causeways for horse car riages, horse railroads, and steam ferries. But the day is not distant when some of the inner waters will be completely dammed out and filled up. Portions of them appear conscious of the coming change, and preparing for it—being shallow, semi aqueous, and green with sedges and rush. Such spaces, so near a large population, are two valu able to be long left to the ducks. The dotted lines of the surveyor are already upon them, and even on parts of the outer bay itself, over which also a bold curve of a railroad has swept. Much that is now water will in a few years be the sites of streets. All the 'city wharves and several large tracks of ground long built upon have been thus gained. Such a power of expansion is even more wanted at New Yotk, which may also be considered as three cities, though Jersey, on the main land, is another State. But the arms of the sea that divide the metropolis from Jersey and from Brooklyn, on long Island, cannot be bridged, and any closer junction than can be made by steam ferryboats is forbidden, which is a grievous disad vantage. The entrance to the bay or harbour of Boston is studded with islands and islets, some 50 In nutnLer, which are a good natural defenee. They are said to be gradualry wasting on the . north and east, w h ere they ate exposed to the h eav y Surge o f the Atlantic, which continually washes away the soil, reducing them at last to naked rocks. Whole grazing eronnds of former days have thus disappeared. With herl western prairies A mer i ca can afford th e loss. t n the centre a n d h ear t o f t h e city is th e Cousteou 9 humbly named, f or it i s really a park with walks ° andaf and avenues of e l ms , ornamental wat er , been j fountain intain ; all weir kept and cared for.

It is actually undulating a piece of the native forest, a little trimmed, framed in with dwellings of the wealthi er ki nd, which it no doub t helps to retain there. It i e b u t 50 acres in extent but, where it is, well worth 50,000 in Kansas. I t contains also one of the original and historical monuments of the city, one of the true antiquities of America, which are rather to be foundin nature than art. It is the " old elm ;" its precise age i s not known, but it was a large tree bef ore t h e colony was settled. It has begun to show signs of decay, but byplugging the hollow of its trunk, and bracing ta limbs up with iron supports, total ruin has been 7 IIIE SUN LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 4, 1856. averted. Some of these branches are as large as ordinary trees, and as it is still green and flourishing it spreads a goodly expanse of shade. A handsome iron railing secures it from wanton injury ; and an inscription tells us how nothing is known about it more than you can see— that it is very old. There was another elm in the precincts of the town, called " the Liberty Tree," on which obnoxious persons, tax-gatherers, British Ministers, and, notably, Lord Bute, were wont to be hanged in effigy. When the conflict grew hot at last the tree disappeared, cut clown by one of the parties—not necessary here to say which. The boughs of the tree still extant on the Common are the home of a colony of squirrels, pro tected by the corporation and supported by volun tary contributions. They confide in public opinion and the absence of boys (who are all at school), and appear to have a tacit understanding with the dogs; children and nursery-maids they defy. There is a branch colony of these squirrels in an old burying ground near the Common, now full of trees, and almost abandoned them. The public feed them through the railings, and they perch on the grave stones, and shell their nuts with excessive vivacity and impudence. It is another very pretty bit of forest life brought into the city. The residences skirting the Common are of the superior order, less florid and palatial than those of the Fifth Avenue of New York, hut having a quiet air of wealth and its consequent respectability. Some of the fronts have a decoration rarely to be seen—a complete drapry of the Virginian,ereeper which trails over and hangs down from the balcony of each floor, like thick curtains. They have now the deep purple tint of autumn, and are very beautiful. The creeping plants of the country aro cultivated, as ornaments in the cities with great success. West his place would be supplied by coadjutors already known to the congregation. One, whom he named would have undertaken the task, " but he was at present in Kansas, and having directed his Christian energies into another channel was known there as General Higginson." After this preface, it might have been thought that he was about to take a full plunge into the Kansas difficulties ; but it was not so, the name was not again mentioned, and he delivered an admirable. discourse on the text, " Sin is a calamity to a people." He sketched the dif ferent forms of Government that have existed in the world, to show how all of them may be abused, even a Democracy, which, when turned to the exclusive profit of the majority, might become a " Satanic Democracy." In contrasting the indifference and carelessness of men as to the character and fitness of those who govern them, compared with their anxiety to secure the best pos sible mechanical aids in agriculture and manufac tures, his illustrations were beautifully picturesque and appropriate. The rude cultivation of an In dian settlement was minutely described, and com pared with that of a New England farm. Rachel weaving Joseph's coat of many colours was con trasted with the processes of a modern mid, with steam and water power, producing garments for whole nations. In the machinery of Governments men blindly suffered society to retrograde to the worst methods, entailing barbarism and ignorance, while they eagerly sought what was the best for physical progress. There was an under-current of allusion throughout the discourse, but it was not obtrusive, and in the clear and happy touches by which he brought out a picture of scenes and ob jects as illustrations of his theme there was the ease that only springs from power. Theodore Parker has the rare faculty of rivetting the attention of his hearers, without the slightest approach to rant or rhetorical ornament. If the old lecturers of Bos ton had anything of the same ability, it would in a great measure account for the people resenting any official curtailment of the length of the dis courses ; and it is not improbable that some infu sion of politics into them was the true cause of the official alarm. An injunction was applied for, but ref wed by the Vice Chancellor, who directed this action to be brought. An appeal in Chancery is still pending, and the Vice Chan cellor i, desirous to have the opinion of a court of law on the construction of the agreement. Mr. James then ob served that one of the tales had been partially published in the plaintiff's journal, but was brought to a very sud den termination in consequence of the defendant discon tinuing writing. _ _ Lorel Campbell—Before the marriage of the parties ? Mr. E. James—No, after the marriage; but the author being in some difficulty as to the disposal of the dramatis persona, blew them all up in a steamer. (Laughter.) Mr. Justice Erle—lt seemed that some other person was employed to finish the tale, but be supplied a rather inferior article, and the publication, it was said, fell off in circulation from 30,000 to 40,000 numbers a week. The Court granted a rule, leaving it to the parties to suggest the form in which it should be dra - vn up, with the view of raising the real question in the case. Towards the conclusion "of the sitting Mrs. Cobbett applied for a writ of habeas corpus to bring up her hus band, who, she said, had been illegally imprisoned while returning from Winchester, where he bad been to collect evidence for a new trial in a case against some turnpike trustees in which he had bee❑ nonsuited. The same application had been made to Mr. Justice Crowder at chambers, but dismissed. money. The Court promised to look into her affidavits, and the applicant withdrew. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. (Sittings in Banco, before Justices Cresswell, Crowder, and Willis.) THE LATE CHIEF JUSTICE JERVIS. Their lordship came into court shortly after 2 o'clock. Mr. Justice Cresswell at once addressed the senior member of the bar present in the following terms : Brother Channell, if any gentleman has a motion to make that must be made ta-day, we will hear it ; but, in the absenca of any such necessity, we wish to adjourn the Court until to-morrow, as a tribute of respect to the me• mory of our late lamented Chief Justice. THE COUNTRY ROUND BOSTON, which was the first peopled by the early settlers, could not have attracted them by the richness of the soil—it is by no means a land of fatness, and far from inviting the plough is most unpropitious to it. It is well watered, abounding in small lakes and streams, and well wooded, but cruelly stony. The subsoil in granite, which crops out in large masses and strews the fields thickly as boulders, as in the tracts bordering on the' moors of Devon. The gatherings from the enclosures more than fur nish the fences, the stones have to be dug and turned out before the soil becomes arable. The work is not finished yet, and the agriculture to an eye fresh from the rich pastures and long-tilled corn-bearing districts of England would look rough and un finished. The whole region has been a stubborn conquest, and only a stubborn race could have made it. They did the work too, having to fight the Indians at the same time. No wonder the men become something stern, hard, and " all grit," a phrase that must have been suggested by the soil. Yet the ruggedness of the region is softly clothed, veiled by a profusion of foliage ; though rocky, it is not bare. All, to the distant line of hills that form the horizon, is verdure. It is the first word that occurs, though at the present season not cor rect. The landscape is now rich with the thousand tints of the Western autumn, at once blending and contrasting with each other—crimson, by the side of pale yellow, deepening into gold, changing again to red, or passing suddenly to purple, as if there were a sunset beneath the leaves. Only the pines refuse to yield a single shade of their hue, and stand strong and dark amid their more tender brethren ; rude natures that cannot sympathise with such soft, hectic languor. The beauty of the American autumnal woods is one of the few things that have not been over-described and done to death by poets and painters; but it defies the pencil, like the ocean or the rainbow ; it awaits, perhaps, a Turner of the forest. The view from the Round Tower of the Auburn Cemetely, is now, and will be, till the first frosts and high winds thin the foliage, one of exceeding loveliness. Serjeant Channell said that he thought he ex pressed the sense of the bar when he said that they had hoped that their lordships would adjourn without taking any business today. The Court accordingly adjourned. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—Nov. 3. LA W INTELLIGENCE.—Nov. 3. MANSIONIHOTTSE.—G. Brown, a soldier at pre • sent on furlough, was brought before the Lord Mayor, charged with having robbed Mrs. Maria Lindsay, the wife of a sailor, in Sun-square, Bishopsgate, of a gold watch and chain of the value of 8/. VICE•CHANCELLORS' COURTS. (Before Vice• Chancellor Kinderaley.) This being the first day of Michaelmas Term, the Vice. Chancellor sat in one of the old committee rooms at Westminster. The prosecutrix said—The prisoner lodged with me about two years ago, and afterwards enlisted in the army. On Saturday he called to sou me, and was intoxi cated. I had in my pocket at the time a gold watch and chain which my son had given me to take care of. Whilst the prisoner was in my room I missed the watch and chain, and accused him of having taken them. He denied having done so, upon which I sent for a police• aian. ROYAL BRITISH BANK -IN THE MATTER OF THE WINDING UP ACTS AND OF THE ROYAL BRITISH BANK-AITCHISON V. LEE. Mr. Rolt, with whom were also Mr. Giffard and Mr. J. Brown, moved in this case (which has engaged so much of the public attention during the vacation), to dissolve the ex parte injunction which had been granted by his Honour in chambers, restraining the defendants, Mr. Charles Lee, Mr. J. T. Burke, and Mr. James Johnstone, jun., from prosecuting or by any means acting upon an order of adjudication of bankruptcy, dated the 10th October last, and from di,turbing Mr. Harding, who had been appointed official manager, under the Winding-up Acts, of the Royal B r itish B an k. The learned counsel said be also appeared to show cause against an order nisi, which had been made to commit Mr. Lee and Mr. Johnstone. A third notice• of motion had been given—that Mr. Robert J. Harding might be forthwith ordered to pay and deliver, upon oath, to Mr. Lee, as the official assignee under the bankruptcy of the Royal British Bank, all monies and securities for money, property, assets, credits, and effects, books, papers, and writings, in his hands, bekaging to the bankrupt estate of the Royal British Bank, or forming part of such bankrupt estate, and that he might be ordered to with- draw from the occupation, possession, and receipt of any part of such estate, and to let the said Charles Lee, as such official assignee, into the occupation and possession of such part or parts of the bankrupt estate as was in the occupation or possession of Mr. Harding or his agents, and to do all such acts as were necessary for the purpose of puting or reinstating Mr. Lee, as such official assignee, in possession, according to his legal rights ; and that, if necessary, the order made in the above mat ters, dated the 24th of Oct., might be discharged. The learned counsel said the case would divide itself into two branches. The one of importance to the parties person ally—namely, whether there bad been any contempt committed towards the Court which the parties could not explain or justify, whatever might be the rights of the parties; the other, the important general question, whether in the present case this Court could assume to itself a jurisdiction to deprive the creditors of the Royal British Bank of any of their legal remedies whatsoever. The Vice-Chancellor—Perhaps I may take the oppor tunity of saying that the motive which led me to grant the injunction was simply this—not any intention of giving a final decision of the very grave question, what is the most proper and desirable way of winding up the affairs of this bank, but that matters might remain in sesta quo until the Court could regularly decide that question, after the argument had been gone into. It would be absurd to suppose that in the vacation the Court could investigate such matters, turning upon the efect of statutes and decisions. All I thought it right to do was to make such an order as would merely keep things in state quo until the sitting of the Court. Of course that would be pretty obvious. Mr. Rolt said it was so understood. The legal rights of creditors under the Bankrupt Acts was reserved to them, and never could have been intended to be altered by the Winding-up-Acts, which were passed to remedy many grievances incident to equitable proceedings in the dissolution of partnerships in the taking of accounts. The learned counsel then proceeded to state the history of the proceedings according to the dates, and had proceeded to read affidavits to show that there had been no inten tion to commit any contempt, or to treat the Court with disrespect, and that an arrangement or understanding had been come to between the parties, which had been departed from, and had led to the motion for the com mitment. He was about commencing his argument upon the 'eneral question of jurisdiction, when His Honour intimated that it would be better to pro ceed with that to-morrow (Tuesday) in order that it might not be broken in upon. Mrs. Strachan, a friend of the prosecutrix, said—l was present when the watch and chain were missed. The prisoner was accused by the prosecutrix of having stolen them, upon which be tried to leave the room, but she closed the door and prevented him. 11,•; then sat upon the sofa, and I saw him take the watch and chain from his pocket, and pass them under the cushion of the sofa. I saw the chain dangling down, and as soon as the policeman entered the room I took it and the watch and gave them to him. The prisoner, who denied the charge and said he could furnish evidence of the good character he had hitherto borne, was remanded. P As the Lord Mayor was on the point of leaving the bench, a gentleman stood for Ward and said that he at tended in consequence of having had his attention di. recited to what bad fallen from Mr. O'Connell in the justice-room on Saturday laet, in reference to the prac tice which had existed of late years of parading the effigy of a Roman catholic bishop about the streets of London on the sth of November- The gentleman, after stating that he himself was a protestant, said that Mr. O'Connell had omitted to mention that the exhibition complained of had been provoked by the Roman catho lies, who in the year 185C1 had parcelled out land into bishoprics in defiance of the anthority of the Queen and the legislature. The Lord Mayor expressed himself in similar terms to those to which be gave utterance on Saturday last, and the applicant left the court. BUNKER'S HILL. To turn to something having very different asso ciations—Bunker's-hill, without some mention of which no notice of Boston and no election speech would be complete. On the peninsula of Charles town, and in the midst of that suburb, stands the monument of the action, a remarkable, but not beautiful object. It is a tall shaft or obelisk of granite, of the severe simplicity of the milestone type, as destitute of ornament, and even more barren of information ; it has neither date, name, nor in scription. It is within the space enclosed by the celebrated redoubt, its four faces parallel to the lines of the intrcnchment, all traces of which have been swept away. The hill itself has been reduced in height, and its sides scarped and terraced for the streets and houses that close it in. A bank of green turf is nearly all that remains of the hill, with a few stone steps leading to the level space around the monument. But the general rise of the ground from the water-side can still be perceived, and by suppressing mentally the houses and trim gardens which have crept up the lower slope, and restoring ' the swamps and limekilns which at the time of the battle occupied their site, the character of the ground can be pretty clearly recalled. The wharves at which the English troops landed for the attack are now the navy yard, on which the crest of what is left of the height looks down. If Primrose-hill, somewhat flattened, were placed a little behind the building sheds of Deptford-dockyard, it would look much as the present Bunker's-hill appears from the harbour. Across the river channel the trees of the small burying-ground, iu old Boston, where the English had placed a battery, can just be perceived over the tops of the houses. The slight earthwork, thrown up in four hours, resisted the guns of this battery and of five ships of war for a whole day, an early instance of the value of the spade in war, which has recently been more extensively demon strated. The history of the action is too well known to be repeated. Two attacks by the troops were repulsed by the Americans with terrible loss; the third, made where the first should have been, on the least complete side of tilts redoubt, succeeded, and the colonists retreated along the neck of the peninsula to the mainland, leaving to the English j commanders a victory that was nearly as disastrous as a defeat. The account of the action, sold on the spot, is more fairly written than most of such nar ratives are, and quotes several of the official despatches and letters of the period. These documents are a sarcasm on what is grandly called the " Muse of History," showing that by neither party could any clear knowledge of the incidents be ascertained. Who commanded on the American side is still disputed. The English accounts say it was " a farmer in a smock frock"—it was Colonel Putnam ; but whether he had the chief coaanaud, or General Prescott, or General Warren, who was killed in the heal rush of the troops into the work, is not decided. Wile conceived the plan of seizing the hill in the night is not known, nor who authorised it. The "orders" of the American head-quarters have been searched in vain for any information. Notwithstanding the strictness of its founders there was always a tendency in the good people of Boston towards the vanities, which some explain by the fact that from the first the place was wealthy. Very early in its history godly Dr. Cotton had to preach agaireitexeesses of apparel, gold lace, girdles, wide sleeves, and veils. The last enormity was happily suppressed. The pulpit was always a power in the place, and at one period so much cultivated that it became an abuse, and the General Court denounced the inordinate length of the sermons as hurtful to health and good morals, and attempted to shorten them ; the people stoutly resisted the attempt, and the magistrates were compelled to abandon it, only stipulating that the discourses should close at au hour that would allow the people to get home before dark. All the early disputes of the settlement were religious. Once a terrible Antinomian controversy broke out, the people aid ing with the covenant of grace, while the General C )urt declared for the covenant of works, which perhaps included punctual payment of dues and taxes, and was therefore unpopular ; some secular element may be found mingled with all these quar rels. Boston was then and long afterwards a great religious centre, which drew illustrious pilgrims from the Old World, such as George Fox and Whitfield. The great names that are drawn from Europe now belong to a different class—popular authors, who lecture without official limit, actors, dancers, and singers. Boston, where every species of theatrical entertainment was strictly prohibited, has four theatres, one of them more spacious and splendid in its fittings than most of those of Europe. It has also a music -hall, which it boasts exceeds anything in Now York. Few cities, indeed, have one of such magnificent proportions. But it is not devoted exclusively to music; something of the old taste for lectures is left, and, like Exeter-hall, it lends itself to theology and politics, or a mixture of both.

GUILDHALL. —James ,Henry Wright, a boot and shoemaker, was charged at the instance of the overseers of the precinct of Whitefriars, with having committed wilful and cor:upt perjury. The prisoner had Leen a pauper in the City of London Union For many years, and a source of much trouble and expense, he having been several times put in the way of earning his own living, and baying as often re turned to the union. On the 19th of Sept., IE4O, the prisoner was apprenticed to a shoemaker in Lambeth, with whom he lived about 15 or 16 months, and then absconded. The City of London Union, on Saturday last, brought the prisoner before Sir R. W. Carden and Alderman Lawrence, for the purpose of passing him to the Lambeth Union, but he, preferring the City of London Union, denied that ho belonged to the Lambeth parish. By act of Parliament it requires a residence of 40 days in a parish by an apprentice under an indenture to omistitute a settlement, and the prisoner, being aware of that fact, deliberetely swore that he only lived with his master :three weeks when he absconded. He was cautioned, and every opportunity given to him to with draw that statement, but he would not. He was con fronted with his master, his master's son, and his mas ter's father, and recognised them all, and they identified him, but he still persisted in the same statement, and solemnly swore that be had absconded after he had been with his master three weeks. It was clearly proved that be had lived with his master 15 or 16 months, and be was accordingly com mitted for trial. I s WORSHIP-STREET.

This being the first day of the sittings after the long vacation, there was the usual bustle and excitement in Westminster Hall and its neighbourhood, the crowds of visitors being greatly augmented by the fineness of the weather. In this court there was a large attendance of the bar and a numerous body of the public, including many ladies. The learned judges—Lord Chief Justice Campbell, and Justices Coleridge, Wightrnan, and Erie—entered the court about two o'clock, and immediately proceeded to hear motions. STEPHENSON AND WIFE V. PALMER.—PERJURY. In this action, which was for a malicious prosecution, tried before Lord Campbell at the sittings after last, Tri nity term, at Westminster, and a verdict found for the plaintiffs, with 101. damages, an application had been made and granted to stay execution, on the payment of 40/. into court. Mr. Elwin James now moved for a rule to show cause why the 401. should not be pail out of court, and a new trial sad. The defendant was an old and deaf lady, who formerly lodged in the house of the plaintiff , at Kensington. Some time alter leaving she accidentally discovered that they were in possession of a portion of her property, viz., various pieces of old china and a pair of curtains, which had been abstracted from a package that she had deposited in one of the rooms occupied by her, and rented of the plaintiffs. She then gave Mrs. Stephenson into custody, but after several examinations and adjournments the case was dismissed, and the plain tiffs thereupon instituted an action against the defendant to recover damages for false imprisonment. At the trial in this court Mrs. Stephenson positively swore that the curtains belonged to her, and gave a circumstantial as •ount, which was corroborated by other witnesses, of the way in which they had come into her hands ; but the defendant and her daughter were equally positive in their statement, and deposed, with every appearance of truth, that these articles had been in their possession for many years. A verdict, however, was obtained for the plain tiff ; but Mrs. Palmer subsequently prosecuted the fe male plaintiff for perjury, and she was found guuty and sentenced to 12 months' imprisonment. Rule nisi granted. THE QUEEN V. VESTRY Gs' ST.

Witness immediately seized hold of the prisoner, who commenced a violent resistance, and ebbed " at him several times with ,the handle of a knife, the blade of which had been broken off; but he was ultimately overpowered and taken into custody.

The constable stated that on Sunday, during divine service in the morning, he saw the defendant lying in High-street, Heaton, cursing and swearing at the top of his voice. On desiring him to desist and leave the spot, defendant rose from the pavement as though with the Intention of obeying, but suddenly turned and sprang upon him, first dealine• three snecessive blows with his fists on the head, which knocked him down, and then kicking him on the knee severely. Finally he threw himself upon him, and, endeavour ing to bite a piece from his arm, actually took a piece of the thick overcoat out with his teeth. He was sober. The prisoner said he had taken a little drop to drink, and at such times was subject to fits. He re membered nothing of it. Another officer proved that defendant had been some time back charged, with his brother, at this court, with a similar assault on the police, and was then punished. Mr. D'Eyncourt observered that the police would be protected by him in the execution of their duty, and fined the defendant 20e , or 21 days' imprison meat, together with the costs of damage to the coat. Theodore Parker, one of the leaders or chief cham pions of the Abolitionists. They are not yet a distinct political party, but their influence is doing much to excite the present resistance to the further extension of slavery. Even that degree of resist ance is denounced as treason by the South, and the language has no terms bitter enough to express its detestation of the party generally and Tueodore Parker particularly. It might be supposed he was a wild fanatic preaching fire and blood. In reality he is a calm and measured preacher, clear and logical in his arguments, with nothing in the least exaggerated in manner or language. Ile may be more impassioned on the political platform, but a 2 a preacher he is vary temperate, and not of the fervid school of oratory at all.

Thuradgy afternoon he was at the Antelope, Eaton - terrace, when the female prisoner came in and asked fur half a quartern of gin. lie saw her gibe Keene a half-crown piece. Keene went away with it and soon aftbr returned. They had some conversation together, when they loft the house.

W.. nese left, and soon after the female prisoner went there. When she Game out, having unsuccessfully tried to pass a bad half-crown, she waves her hand to Keene, who, upon seeing her, walked fast away. Witness ran after him, and seized him. On his pursuit of Keene he saw a police constable, and told him to take Owen into custody. As they were going to the station-house, the male prisoner flung away a purse. He (witness) picked it up, and found that it contained three base half-crowns and one counterfeit crown piece. The officer added that the prisoner Keene had in his pos session a pocket handkerchief in which were tied up vari ous articles, among which were a mutton chop, some small pieces of meat, and two spoons. He added that he thought they had been bought with spurious money. There was 14s. id. good money on Keene, and 183. 7d. on 0 wen.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET. —Robert TV:jalt was brought before Mr.Beadon for final examination, charged with forging two cheques for 2501. and 9/. 16x., in the names of his employers, Messrs. Wilkinson, Heywoods, and Co., Battle-bringe, and thereby defrauding the Lon don and Westminster Bank, St. James's-square. He was committed for trial on both charges. LAMBETH.—George Cronk, 17 years of age, was charged with disturbing a Baptist congregation. Bolton, one of the elders belonging to Salem Chapel, Park-street, Brixton hill, deposed that the chapel being under repair, the service was carried on at the school-rooms in Brixton, and for some Sundays past the congregation bad been subjected to great annoyance by boys. On the night of Sunday week a member of the congregation, on going out to ascertain the cause of the noises made at the door, received a severe blow from a brickbat. On the evening before, during the progress of the service, a loud noise was heard at the door, which very much alarmed the congregation and interrupted the service. The prisoner was taken into custody as one of the persons causing the interruption. The object In bringing the youth before his worship was not to punish him, but to put a stop to the annoyance. Police-constable Drew said that on the evening before, while on duty at the school-rooms during the service, he saw the prisoner and three other youths walk stealthily towards the door, enter the schoolroom, and immediately after Le heard several loud cries of "Bravo, bravo." He ran towards the door and caught the prisoner as he was rushing out. His companions got away. The prisoner, who received a good character, expressed his sorrow for his conduct. Mr. Elliott remarked that the offence charged was one of a very serious and mischievous description. The pri soner must find two bail in 101. each, or one in 201., to be of good behaviour for one month. dlkcirle: Wheeler, a countryman, was charged before Mr. Elliott with travelling in a second-class carriage on the South-Western Railway from Basingstoke to Lon don without having previously paid his fare. Inspector Bent informed the magistrate that on the preceding eveniisg the prisoner was found in a second class carriage, without a ticket, and when questioned on the sulject he said that his mother had purchased a ticket for him on his startingfrom Basingstoke and given it to the guard. This was found to be untrue, and when asked what had been paid for the ticket, he replied 4s 6d. This was equally untrue, as the fare from Basing. stoke by a second class carriage was 6s 10d. When milted what he had to say to the charge, the prisoner began to cry, and said that his fatherand mother had given him a " larruping" on the night before, and he was determined to leave them and come to London. The magistrate ordered him to pay the 6s icd fare, or in default to be imprisoned for ten days. TIIAMES.—Three Danish seamen, named Thomas Rurgison, Sargison, his brother, and Jacob Se/tester, who were very thinly clad, and had disposed of their jackets to procure food, came before Mr. Selfe for relief under the following circumstances : The seamen stated that they were natives of the island of Santa Cruz, and a few months since joined the Ame rican ship Rhoderick Dhu, Captain Briant, master, at Santa Cruz, She was bound to Copenhagen with a cargo of rum and sugar. The ship encountered rough weather in the British channel, and got on shore at a place called Alsebar (so the sailors called it). Assistance was procured. The ship was released and towed into Portsmouth by two steamers. The Roderick Dhu reached Portsmouth on Wednesday, and the captain dismissed them immediately afterwards, and gave them 4 doll. 50e. each, and told them to do the best they could for themselves. They walked up from Ports mouth and reached London on Saturday. They went to the Danish Consul, who said he could do nothing for them, because they had entered the service of a foreign power. They were cold and hungry, and had been walking about the streets for the last three nights, and endeavouring in the day time to get a ship, in which they were unsuccessful. Mr2Selfe said it was a very distressing case, and the publication of it in the newspapers would do more good than he could effect. He asked if there was not some institution for the relief of distressed seamen of all na tions in the port of London. Mr. Livingston, the chief usher, said he had no doubt the seamen would be received into the Destitute Sailors' Asylum, in Well-street, Wellelose-square, it they were really destitute, Mr. Selfe said he had no doubt of the poor fellows being really destitute arid fit objects for the asylum. He directed Howland, 89 H, an officer attached to the court, to accompany the three foreigners to the asylum, and request the superintendent to admit them. The seamen, who can all talk tolerably good English, ;banked the magistrate and left with the officer. 110 P DUTIES.
