The Dnke of ARGYLL (interrupting) expressed hope that the noble earl would not press any question in respect to America in the absence of his colleagues in the Government. He had bean engaged in c3mmittee up to three o'clock, and was unable to satisfy him upon the point. The Earl of lIAItDWICKE wag about continuing his observations when he was again interrupted by The Earl of MINTO, who said he thought the noble earl was out of order in pressing the qn - ,stion. Earl GRANVILLE having taken seat at this time, The Earl of lIARDWICKE asked whether he bad any objection to inform their lordships whether the report which had that day appeared in the public papers, that our representative, Mr. Crampton, had been dis missed from his position in the United States, was cor rect ? The Earl of GRA.NVILLE said he was not aware that any information had been received by the Govern ment as to any such matter. LIMITED LIABILITY BILL.

(in continuation of Parliamentary paper, No. 298, of Session 1848).—Ordered. OUR RELATIONS WITS AMERICA. Mr. DISRA.ELI wished to ask her Majesty's Go , vernment whether it was true as has been stated that her Majesty's Minister had quitted Washington at the wish of the President of America, and if so, whether they had any statement to make on the subject. Lord PALMERSTON said her Majesty's Govern ment had received the news indirectly that Mr. Cramp. ton had received his passports, and hal quitted Wash ngton for Toronto. There had been nothing yet re ceived directly from that gentleman, and therefore he had at present no further statement to make on the subject. OATH OF ABJURATION BILL. In reply to an HoN. MEMBER, Lord PALMERSTON said it would be convenient to-tnorrow to proceed with this bin. Sir E. B. AMERICA. LYTTON said, on the motion for the ad journment of the house to-morrow, he should ask a question of the noble lord with respect to our relations with the United States. THE CRIM.EA.N COMMISSION. Mr. PALK asked the Under Secretary for War when Commission, pr es id e d over by the report of the Military General Sir Alexander Woodford would be laid upon the table of the house ? Mr. F. PEEL said he was not aware that the board of general officers bad made a report__ MR. LONGWORTH'S MISSION. Lord C. HAMILTON begged to ask whether there would be any objection to lay on the table of the house the report of Mr. Longworth relative to his mission t o Circassia ? Lord PALMERSTON said it would be very objectionable to lay the report of Mr. Longwmth on the table. The parties with whom that gentleman had beer, u communication, he thought, would be very much pre ndiced by such a proceeding. THE BALTIC FLEET. Sir C. NAPIER asked if there was any objection to lay on the table of the house returns of the vessels of war of all descriptions put out of commission since the signing of the treaty of peace ; of c las t- gnar d men dig barged from the fleet ; of riggers and men who have completed five years' service, and have been discharaed ; of the continuation mon now in the service, with their rating ; and of the number of men the ships now in com mission are short of complement ? Admiral BERKELEY said there was an objection t o produce any of the papers referred to, with the ex ception of th e num b er of cont i nuat i on men now in er vice. Sir C. NAPIER then gave notice that on Monday he should move for the production of the papers that had been refused. _ ROYAL ASSENT. Sir A. CLIFFOED, the tsher of the black rod, appeared at the table, and summoned the Speaker and the mem bers of the house to the Rouse of Lords to hear the Royal assent given by commission to several bills that THE SITN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, JUNE 5, 1856. Spirit of the Public Journals. (From the Morning Herald of this day.) Either England is in a state of unexampled secu rity, or she is not. If she is, Lord Palmerston is the wisest, as he is the most mysterious, statesman who ever existed. If she is not, she might, with reason, be supposed by many to be as near her end as was the Gothic kingdom of Spain when Count Julian invited over the Moors from Africa. None can deny that her fate is completely in the Premier's hands. The authority of the Crown has passed, as Lord Hardwicke showed, into his posses sion ; he is sure of a majority in both Houses of Parliament ; all his decrees are accepted by the country ; he is allowed to withhold all explanation as to his measures, either future or past ; reclama tion against anything he says or does is ineffective ; and even those who, like ourselves, watch passing events with the deepest apprehension, have merely the power of protest, and can do little or nothing to make that protest effectual. England is beginning to understand, in some de gree at least, that she is no longer that isolated island which she was at the commencement of the last century, whose inhabitants dwelt secure amidst the isles, saved by their ocean bulwarks from any possibility of foreign aggression, dependent on none but themselves for their supplies of food, living within their means, and not trading beyond, and not meddling with the affairs of the nations of the Qontinent at all. Our modern system is wholly different, and the time for such security is past ; during the last 30 years particularly, Lord Palmerston has contrived so to complicate our affairs with every nation, that those who have no key but conjecture and the chapter of accidents to open the explanation to them, must be bewildered to understand how the Premier, with his admitted abilities and unlimited power, can have brought this country in face of a crisis which few but himself can fully calculate. We ourselves are, therefore, in the condition of shareholders who are alarmed at the magnitude, and apparently unprofitable nature of the specula tions in wltichthey are involved, who can get no account from their agents ; who have their suspi cions confirmed by that circumstance as well as by others ; and who, therefore, lose no opportunity of conveying a warning to those who are in the same position as themselves. To do this the more effectually we will endeavour to " take stock" as regards our present relations. We shall do so moderately and temperately ; but we entreat our readers, if they arrive at the same conclusion with ourselves not to lot an hour go by without doing their utmost to call their agent, the Prime Minister, to the very strictest account. As to our home state we are spending more than our income, we are raising new loans, we are no: • raising food enough for our own consumption, and we therefore depend on foreign powers for our support. We have just spent enormous sums of money, and lost' many valuable lives ; and no man can say specially, distinctly, and definitely, that we have got anything but new complications by such expenditure. We have rendered besides by far the largest part of our population much discontented by this and by other causes. With regard to our neighbour France, we pro fess ourselves to be in the very closest alliance, but at the same time we stand in the most critical pos tion with her—a position which is nothing short of that of joint occupiers of the Eastern empire of the world. We have been forced to extend the original 40 days stipulated for the evacuation of Turkey to 6 months ; and it is but too apparent that England will not retire from the position which commands the empire of the world, leaving France in possession, nor will France place greater confi dence in England ; they both, therefore, as well as Austria, remain as joint occupiers, with sepa rate interests, which may, under_ the existing Go vernment, mature secret jealousies which, under a British Administration, would never have been created. France, also, has the better position. As to Belgium, she has been bullied at the Con ferences, and must seek support somewhere, either by throwing herself into the arms of France, which is unlikely, or, as is more probable, into those of Russia. As to Prussia, her neutrality during the war has certainly not been changed into any anti-Russian spirit by the peace ; nor is there any reason why it should, for nothing has been done to relieve Poland, and Poland is the weight by which Prussia is held down by Russia. Prussia, therefore, is the anta gonist of England. Austria has decidedly suffered at the Conferences a defeat at the hands of Russia, backed by Eng land and France; her consequent state of isolation is not likely to make her take a line favourable to England when the joint oocupation in Turkey shall have produced confusion among the nations. We shall speak at present with due caution of our position as to the United States; suffice it to say that any moment may bring into collision the two great divisions of the Anglo-Saxon race, and that owing to causes which, whatever be the fault on their side, we are so far from being blameless, that their first complication dates hack to a time ante rior to the Bulwer-Clayton Treaty, to a period when our present Premier occupied the post of Foreign Secretary. We yesterday explained how, in event of such a fatal collision, we had been deprived of our chief arm, by Lord Clarendon's surrender of the right of search, and that, therefore, any war between us and our Transatlantic kinsmen would not only be destructive, but interminable. Of Turkey we have to a certain extent spoken ; suffice it to say that by various modes the Sultan has been isolated from his subjects, who are rising •in rebellion against his recent decree, so that ho is literally supported by the. foreign bayonets who occupy his territory with separate interests. Persia, Denmark, Sweden, and the minor states of Germany have been thrown into the arms of Russia. As for Russia we shall not say much : no man disputes that it is her avowed object to gain the em pire of the world, and that by the convulsion of it, and by waiting her time until all other powers have worn each other out, and then coming in as the general pacifier, arbitrator, and suzerain. In all the complications we have detailed there is not one that can affect Russia injuriously. We need scarcely advert to the fact, that Eng lish capital is to be extensively employed in the development of her internal resources ; that not a word has been whispered of indemnity from her, nor of security to the Circassian tribes ; nor of barring her succession to the crown of -Denmark ; and that England, by the recent treaty, has re nounced, as Lord Clarendon says, her maritime rights in favour of the Russian dogma, " Free ships, free goods." Such being the actual state of thd world, and such the very critical position of England, we really think it is time some better defence were found for Lord Palmerston than that usual one of his political opponents, " Don't embarrass the Mi nistry by attacking them while negotiations are pending ;" or its inevitable consequent, " What is the use of attacking them after the thing is done ?" We maintain, on the contrary, that there is no way of saving England from that " day of wring ing of hands" predicted by Lord Derby than that of either hindering the Premier's acts before they aro accomplished, or when, as in the recent case of Lord Clarendon, the law has been plainly broken, of proceeding against him after the fact. Either prevent or punish. It is hard to look on and see this great empire mined and sapped in secret, and to know what a very small amount of sense, courage, and patriotism would suffice to save it.

I street, LAW INTELLIGENCE.—June 4. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. TAYLOR V. JOHNSON-USE AND OCCUPATION. Mr. Edwin James and Mr. Murray appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Huddlestone and Mr. Hawkins for the defendant. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, an archi tect, residing at St. George's-terrace, Hyde-park, to re cover 621. 10s., being the amount of a quarter's rent of a house, 64, Bond-street, from the defendant, Mrs. John son, an artist. The defendant pleaded never indebted, a set-off by reason of work performed amounting to 891. 18s., and that the agreement on which the plaintiff founded his claim was obtained by fraud. From the evidence adduced on behalf of the plaintiff, who admit. ted the set-off, it appeared that he first became ac quainted with the defendant in March, 1855, when he called at her studio, in Oxford-Street, fur the purpose of having some sketches made and some pictures cleaned. The work was performed to the general satisfaction of the plaintiff, who, conceiving Mrs. Johnson a lady of talent, and always finding her hard at work when he called, proposed that she should remove to a house he had in Bond-street, where she would soon, by becoming better known, realise an independence. Various inter views took place between the parties, and finally Mrs. Johnson entered on possession of the premises, on the verbal understanding that if she succeeded in the object she had in view she was to pay the rent, 2501. a year. Accordingly, in the June following, she entered on pos session, and it was suggested that a person named Barnes should enter into partnership with her, and that she should be instructed in colouring photographs. Things went on smoothly enough until the plaintiff's return from a tour, alter having enjoyed the honeymoon, when "a change came o'er the spirit of -his dream," and he in December last called upon Mrs. Johnson, and requested her to sign an agreement bindin g herself to pay 2501. a year for the house. In defau't of payment of the quar ter's rent, due the 25th of March last, the present action was brought. In support of this view of the case, the agreement was put in evidence, by which it appeared that the defendant bound herself to pay 2501. a year for the house. Mr. James, on the conclusion of the plaintiff's case, said he would not call on the defendant for costs or rent if she would give up the key of the premises. This proposal not having been accepted, the follow ing witnesses were called for the defence : Mrs. Johnson said she was the defendant, and became acquainted with the plaintiff about 15 months ago, when she saw him ia her studio in Oxford-street. Mr. Baron Martin—Why proceed with the matter any further ? If the plea alleging that the agreement was obtained by fraud is good, the agreement is bad, and the plaintiff can at once obtain possession of the house. Mr. James repeated his offer, but with the same success. Examination continued—She accomplished the work as set forth in the particulars of set-off for the plaintiff, and he made no objection to the items, but said he would pay her the same as any other person he employed. Shortly after the work had been done he called on her, and induced her, by the representations he made, to give up her studio in Oxford-street, and she accordingly did so, and removed her property. He said he would take a house for her in Bond-street, and the understanding at the time was that she was to pay 1501. for the entire house after she had been in possession for one year, during which period shs would not be called on to pay any rent. On her expression of gratitude for this liberal offer, the plaintiff said, " Oh, I have let the shop to Mr. Cox for 1401., and I shall be no loser." He said he considered her a person of talent, and that he would stand by her and pro mote her interests. After the plaintiff's marriage he intro duced his wife to her, and said she would be a friend to her, and at one interview at which Mr. Barnes was pre sent, he said he would not claim any rent for the first year. She bad a perfect recollection of the plain tiff calling upon her when the agreement was signed. He said, " How is it you look so cheerful this morning ? I am afraid what I have to tell you will break your heart; my wife and my lawyer are going to turn you out of the house." She said, " flow can you be so unjust ? I have done nothing to de serve this, or to forfeit your respect." He replied, " I can only think of one thing to enable you to baffle the lawyers, and that is for us to enter into an agreement, which I will show them." Upon this he took an agree ment from his pocket, and said, " If you sign this I will go to my solicitor and urge it as an argument in your fa vour, and there will be no more said about it: I am sorry .for you, but if a man does anything for a woman a wrong construction is always put upon it." She signed the agreement, which she did not read, and was very much up,ct, and cried, and he said, " Don't cry, I will bring you the agreement back this evening." She did not read the whole of the agreement, but on seeing 250/, entered as the annual rental she said it was impossible to pay that amount, even if the business were established. He said, " Never mind, I don't expect you to pay it." He again celled shortly after, and desired her to have every faith in him. Cross-examined—Her goods were removed before the quarter-day. Smne were sent to her mother's, and some were pledged. The plaintiff Lad given her carpets, and they were amongst the articles pledged. After the goods were removed she locked up the house and had still pos session of the key. The plaintiff had paid 271. fur a loan made to ber by a loan society. Mrs. Meredith, the mother of the defendant, proved that the plaintiff had stated that he would not make any claim for the first year's rent, and that it was afterwards to be at the rate of 1501, a-year. Mr. Daniel Smith said he was present at interviews which took place between the plaintiff and the defend ant, when the plaintiff stated that Mrs. Johnson was not to be called upon for the first year's rent, and that after wards she was to pay 1501. a-year. Mr. James—Did you ever say that "your experience proved tat Mrs. Johnson was a dangerous, lying, and undeserving character ?" Witness —I did, but I beg to apologise to Mrs. Johnson for saying that. It was said when I was under the impres sion that she had stolen Mr. Taylor's carpets—that im pression was - without foundation, as I believe she was guilty of nothing of the kind. Mr. James—You said she was a liar. A person might take a carpet without being given to lying. Witness—l thought she was guilty of slight prevari cation. Mr. James—Well, in what respect was she danger ous Witness—She is a spirited woman, and has been nearly ruined. Mr. James—ls every spirited woman dangerous Witness—No, but her misfortunes were 133 great that she might have become dangerous. I hardly know whether the proposition for the plaintiff to become secu rity to the loan society emanated from himself or from me. I paid more than 51. to the loan society on account of the advance. The defendant paid the balance, 271. The case for the defence having closed, The learned judge left it to the jury to say whether, taking all the circumstances of the case into considera tion, they were of opinion that the agreement had been obtained by fraud. The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff, damages 221. 125., being the amount claimed, allowing for the cet off. Mr. James, after the verdict was returned, said he was oven now willing to bind his client to a rule of court not to call on the defendant for the amount of the verdict if she would forthwith give up possession of the premises. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT. IN THE ?LATTER Or WILLIAM GENGE STEWART, -FACILITY OF CREDIT. This insolvent, a young man, ,vho had been Cornet in the 2d Dragoon Guards, applied to be discharged from the Queen's Prison. Mr. Griflits opposed for several West-end tradesmen — Messrs. Browne, tailors, Princes-street, Hanover-square; Mr. Hill, tailor, Old Mond-street; Messrs. Pulsford, tailors, St. James's-street; Messrs. Matthison and am atts, tailors, Conduit-street ; and also Messrs. Beale and Newan, hosiers, in New Bond-street. Mr. M`Cakey appeared for a Mr. Becker, residing at Brighton. Messrs Hamburger and Rogers, outfitters. of King-st., Covent garden, opposed in person. Mr. Sargood supp .rted. The insolvent is now 24. He joined the 2,1 Dragoons at Dundalk, in Ireland, in May, 1853; and since he had been in prison his commission had realised 8401., and of that sum 6461—Was in court for the creditors. The debts in the schedule were 5,5481., and of that sum 3,1501. were without consideration, arising on liabilities for other persons, to which cause, with the smallness of pay, Is. a day, his kppcarance before the court was attributed. His father, Mr. Duncan George Stewart, oFtaange alley, had made him an allowance of 3001., but he had exceeded that sum, and out of an advance by his father he had paid some bets lost with brother officers. H. had been in prison since November. He had a number of transactions with Alfred Whaley Cole, who was a barrister out of practice, and bad since been a merchant in Cannon-street, and who had gone abroad. He had a -cepted bills for him, ani was by him introduced to Mr. Joseph Joel, a money-lender. He had ab-o some bill transacqons with Lord Forth, which appea re d on the schedule. Several of the opposing creditors complained of the manner in which their debts had been contracted. Mr. Pal-ford and Mr. Immace were called, as also two clerks from Messrs. Browne and Messrs. Matthison, In addi. tisn to clothes to nearly 1001., the insolvent obtained 551. of Messrs. Browr, and gave his bill. Mes rp. Puts ford, after banking hours, advanced 201. on a cheque of Cole's for 301. They were only creditors for clothes, including a fancy court dress for the character of Sir Giles Oveireaeh, for which 131. was charged. There were 54 creditors on the schedule, of which " ten" were tailors, besides outfitters, hosiers, rte. In a.fevy months of last year, having returned from Ire'and with his regirnentin June, he contracted a number of debt.. His outfit, sup plied by Me=srs. Ha nburger, was 3501, and for wearing apparel there were several hundred pounds in a very snort time. The complaint of Messrs. Hamburger was that the insolvent gave them a cheque for 2001., which would have born pai i out of the commission, but the payment was countermanded. The case of Mr. Becker could not be proceeded with, as he was unable to attend on the present occasion. Mr. Graffito submitted that the insolvent had acted in a fraudulent manner towards his creditors, particularly with reference to the complaints of Messrs. Pulsford and gessrs. Mathison, in which he had been assisted by Alfred Whaley Cole. Mr. Sargood admitted the extravagance of the insol vent, but contended that there was no fraud to be im puted to the young man. It was lamentable to see the facilities of credit given to young men, and that creditors should rely on their fathers or other members of their family to pay their debts. Were such men to come to this court and ask for a judgment ? One of the creditors had said he foun4l he was the "son of his father," co d that was the secret of the case. They relied on Mr. Duncan Stewart to pay the Debts, and did not look so much to the young man before the court. The Chief commissioner required creditors tr? be served and the broker of the court to value some clothes left in the possession of a person named Ray, which had been redeemed from Cox's Hotel, in Jermyn•street, out of 10001. advanced by the army agents on the sale of the commission. His Honour, in reference to the complaints made, alluded to the number of tailors in the schedule, and remarked that the fairness of all dealings consisted in the equal knowledge of facts between the parties. Judgment deferred to the 25th inst. have passed both Houses of Parliament. (See Lords' report.) EDUCATION OF OFFICERS IN THE ARMY. On the motion for the house going into committee of supply, Mr. S. HERBERT called the attention of the house to the education and instruction of officers in the army, and, in doing so, said that he was induced to trouble the house on the subject from seeing that in the estimates placed on the table there had disappeared from it for the first time an item, not large of itself, but to which great importance was attached, viz., a vote for ensuring the education and instruction of officers of the army, and to elicit an expression of opinion against the necessity of affording some means, and of offering facilities to regimental and staff officers for im proving themselves in the higher branches of their profession. The right hon. gentleman said his object was not to enter into the question of disbanding the army, and what number of men should be kept in time of peace. All agreed that this country could not 'keep up a large standing army during peace ; but that they should keep up an efficient on• in brigades and divisions, that may be able to expand itself in time of need. An army small in number must be compen sated by giving it the highest possible training and efficiency. He should not enter into the defects of our army, which, on comparison with other countries, stood well. Our army, with all their difficulties and draw backs, not the fault of their officers or men, bad done wonderful things. (Hear, hear.) He had no intention, then, to deal with the instruction to be provided for the men, because a plan of regimental schools was in opera tion, which was prospering and increasing, though no doubt susceptible of improvement, and which improvement was forcing itself on the atten ton of the Government daily. There could be no doubt but that the men should be taught something more than their daily drill—that every man of the army should be trained to self-sufficiency for every purpose in the field. The hon. gentleman then referred to the inspec tion of the regimental schools, which he condemned. The inspection of these schools should be given as prizes to officers of great experience and standing in the army, and not as now to War-office clerks, who knew nothing whatever about the requirements or discipline of an army, and which he looked upon as a great error on the part of the Government. [LEFT SPEAKING.] Naval and Military Intelligence. Her Majesty's sloop Fantoma, 14, Commander J. H. Gannys, arrived at Spithead yesterday evening from the Australian station. .3he sailed from Port-Philip on the 4th Fab., and Rio on the 10th April. She left her Ma jesty's ship Electra at Port-Philip. The Fautome's passage has been a very long one. She has brought no news, but 20,000 oz. of gold on freight, and Lieut.

W&TIIMIU.LL, A.G.", A SAD CASE.--A BEAUTIFUL FEMALE SLAVE. Same years ago a married man removed from Virginia to Missouri, taking with him a young female slave, a mulatto, of remarkable beauty and great intelligence, who had been born in his family. Though a married man, be became the father of a child by this young wo man. Having been unsuccessful in his business in Mis souri, he resolved to remove to one of the Eastern States, and as the women in question would have become free by her removal, and as his wife would, under no circumstances, consent to his bringing the girl with him, he gave her free papers for herself and his child, and left for the East. These papers were afterwards found to be invalid, not hav ing been recorded, but she remained unmolested by her mas ter for six years, during whichtime she married and became a member of a religious communion in Missouri. By this marriage she had another child, but was left a widow, after which she supported herself and her two children by her labour, maintaining a high character for perse vering industry, probity, and every womanly virtue. About three years since her former master returned to the place of her residence on business a errand, and met her accidentally in the street. Upon conversing with him, she asked him to make her free papers valid by having them properly recorded, which he promised to do if she would bring them to his lodgings the next day. She brought the papers with her on the following day, when, after some conversation with her, her master proposed that she should resume her former illicit rela tions with him. She in vain urged that her religious principles, and the life that she had led since her former connexion with him, rendered it impossible for her thus to degrade herself. He persisted, and finding her im movable, he became furious, tore up the papers she had placed in his hands, and the next day put her in the slave pen for public sale. Some persons who knew her, hear ing of her situation, interposed in her behalf, and one of them, a lawyer, had knowledge of a fact which he thought might be the means of securing her freedom. Her master bad left the State in debt, and, after her de parture, one of his creditors attached the girl as his pro perty, but was induced to relinquish the attachment on receiving a letter from her master, deearing that she NM free. This letter was obtained and a suit was commenced, and the girl released from prison—one of her friends, a slaveholder himself, becoming security in a bond of 2,000 dols., that she should render herself and her children up if the suit should be decided against her. The suit has been pending ifor three years, and her alleged master having again got into difficulties, her friends are soliciting subscriptions to purchase her en tire freedom. Towards the sum required-800 dols.— uipwards of 400 dole. have been collected for the purpose. —Nero York Journal of Commerce. Sporting Intelligence. BEVERLEY RACES.—WEDNESDAY.

The evids g n e ' e as that given at the Mansion -house m eo e u re rt. fac T t The coroner in summing up observed drunkenness did not form a valid excuse a felony, usefor committi ng such a dreadful act. In law it iva and he would leave it to the jury to say whetheran nearly or abetting was not responsible for the death aiding eath of the person. The jury having been in consultati on for an hour, returned the follow f i ' no , ver di ct :____„h ~ deceased committed an act offeode se, and that William May the May was an a ider and an abettor to the act." The co roner informed Mr. Kibblewh te, the summoning officer, t^Lt he would grant him next morning a special warrant, so that h e cou ld h ave the body in!err. d between the hours of 9 and 'l2 last night, as the act of Parliament directed. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—June 4. BOW-STREET.— William, Friend, a street hawker, was charged with being drunk and disorderly, and as saulting George Elliot, the captain of the Dablis, river steamer. The captain stated that at about half-past five the previous evening the Dahlia was on her way from Lon don-bridge to Hungerford, when his attention was drawn to the prisoner, who was sitting outside the rail. One of the men of the boat spoke to him and endeavoured to induce him to get within the rail, but he refused to stir. Witness was about to descend from the paidle-box to assist in removing him, when he climbed up to meet witness, and, seizing him by the leg, endeavoured to throw him over. Tee engineer, with the aid of some of the passengers, secured the prisoner, and witness hailed a police boat, and gave him in charge. He was drunk. Mr. Henry observed that the piermen ought not to allow drunken men to go on board. A gentleman here came forward and stated that he was the company's superintendent. Every care was taken to prevent drunken men from• going on board, but they sometimes got en by stratagem. When the tollman refused to give a ticket to a drunken man, he would sometimes get some companion who was sober to obtain tickets for two. By passing down an adjoining pier it was easy to get upon the pier at the end. The prisoner said he was exceedingly sorry for his conduct. He had no recollection of the facts, but thought some provocation must have been given him. Mr. Henry thought this a gratuitous assumption on the part of a man who admitted that he was too drunk to recollect what occurred. He was ultimately fined 20., or in default two months' imprisonmect. WESTMINSTER.—Mr. 'R. Dunn, barrister, sum moned Mr. Pottinger, of 5, Palace-street, Pimlico, for unlawfully detaining some important letters and papers. Mr. Dunn said he required no quibble or quirk of law. All that he desired was that an inventory should be taken of the effects he bad left in the house of defendant, where he hai lodged, and that his private letters and papers should be delivered up to him or that he should be allowed to leak them up in the presence of an officer of that court. He was ready to swear that one docu ment alone in defendant's possession was worth upwards of 106 i. Mr. Paynter observed that the police act only gave him power to order the restoration of property under the value of 151. Mr. Dunn said that the private letters be now sought to recover had nothing to do with the document he had mentioned, and were merely detained to inconvenience and annoy him. Mr. Payntor said that persons could not divide into parts the property which another detained, because if they could, by a series of proceedings of 101. at a time, they might recover 1001., and the magistrate would be exercising a power which the Legislature never intended him to possess. Defendant—l want my rent, which Mr. Dunn owes me-31. 98. i5..11 the property he has left at my house is not worth half acrown. Mr. Dunn—Will you oblige me by sendinz an officer with me to see me lock up and seal the letters Mr. Paynter-1 cannot give you any authority to enter the defendant's house. I have no objection to give a suggestion that your private letters should be sealed up by the defendant. Defendant—l wish to pay every respect to the court, lint I shall not allow Mr. Dunn to cuter my house. His letters are of no interest to me, and all I wi,Rl3 is that he would pay his rent and take them away. I would not give him half-a-crown for all he has got. Mr. Dunn (indignantly) —I put it to your worship whether two gold seals, a pair of razors that cost me a guinea, some clothes worth a pound or two, some books and Acts of Parliament, are not worth more than half-a crown ? Mr. Paynter—Then I can suggest a mode, I think, of relieving you from any further difficulty. Yon can authorise the defendant to raise money upon the gold seals and other things you have mentioned by pawning . some of them. He can deduct the amount of his claim and give you the remainder. Mr. Dunn—l don't suppose a pawnbroker would take gold seals in, with a crest and arms engraved upon them. Mr. Paynter—Ob, yes he would under your authority. Mr. Dunn—lf he has any claim to the goods, lot him distra,in them. Mr. Paynter—Then you might lose your valuable let ters and paperß. Mr. Donn—l don't care a farthing about that. Then as you will not interfere, I am just where I was. Mr. Paynter—l told You you would be when you took the s ummons. Mr. Dunn was about to make some further remarks, when Mr. Paynter repeated he could not interfere. MARLBOROUGH-STREET'.—Mr. Dunn, the per. son so well know❑ to the public in connection with his pertinacious pursuit of Miss Burdett Coutts, said he wished to make a complaint of a very painful nature against a lady residing within the jurisdiction of this e,urt—Miss Burdett ()mitts. His charge against the lady was that for a series of years she had persecuted him in every conceivable way ; had got him turned out of 11 lodgings, had caused hies to be pursued by a luna tic fresh from a lunatic asylum armed with a loaded bludgeon ; and lastly, had entered into a conspiracy with his landlord and landlady to get him turned out of his present lodgings in Pimlico. It was this last piece of persecution that had induced him to come forward and ask the magistrate to grant him a warrant or a sum mons against the lady in question. Mr. Bingham said the persecution was stated to have occurred in Pimlico. That place was out of his district, and the application must be made to the Westminster police-court. Mr. Dunn insisted that this court was the proper tri bunal to apply to, as he was sure the lady resided within the jurisdiction of the court, and having argued the point at some length, concluded by asking for a warrant or summons. Mr. Bingham—l decline to issue either. Mr. Dunn, angrily—Then have a criminal infor mation against you. The applicant then quitted the oourt in high dudgeon. MA.RYLEBONE.—J okra James, a cabman, was chArged with furiously driving his horse and vehicle (while he was in a state of drunkenness), along Sussex place and Cornwall•terrace, Regent's-park, to the danger of the public, and also with violently assaulting officers of the D divisi•~n. The evidence of several witnesses in support of the charge was quite conclusive. Tie prisoner, on being asked what he had to say, re• plied—" I dare say, your worship, I have done wrong. I have served in the Turkish Contingent, 'and was wounded severely, and when I get a little too much to drink I don't know what lam about. I hope you will deal as lightly as you can." Mr. Long—l never look over the offences of drunken cabmen, whose misconduct while driving puts the lives of the public in peril. I shall fine you 20s. for furious driving, or 14 days ; in addition thereto, you will pay 203. for each of three assaults on the police. If you don't do that, you will be imprisoned in each of the cases for 14 days. The prisoner, whose term of incarceration makes up in the whole two months, was then locked up. SOUTHWARK.—Frederick Watson, a smith, was summoned before Mr. A'Beckott for unlawfully refusing and neglecting to finish his work. Mr. William Deiker, an engineer, carrying on busi ness in the Southwark Bridge-road, stated that a short time ago he was applied to by Government to contract for the supply of 1,500 axes. He applied to the defend ant to make them, and he consented to do so at three halfpence per lb., witness finding iron, tools, &c., and defendant merely the labour. Relying on that agree ment witness took the contract for the whole to be sent in by the end of May, or the early part of the present month. The defendant, however, only finished 1,000, leaving 500 to be manufactured, the result of which was a breach of the contract at a great loss. Instead of de fendant going on with the work he had gone to work at another place, and to prevent any similar inconvenience arising, complainant had taken the present proceedings. Mr. Chipperfield submitted that the fault rested with the complainant, who had told the defendant he might go away and leave the work. Mr. A'Sackett asked if such was the case. Coinplainant replied that, finding defendant was ne glecting the work at the time the goods ought to be sent in, he certainly did tell him he should call in some one else, and make him pay for it. The defendant then said he would go on with the work, but he neglected to do so. However, he was willing 0 withdraw the complaint, if defendant promised to finish the work immediately. Mr. A'Beckett asked the defendant if he would com ply with the offer ? Defendant said that he would ; when Mr. A'Beckett dismissed the summons, cautioning him to be more careful in future, as he rendered himself liable to severe punishment, provided the complainant bad persisted in the complaint. TVns. Sna , a, a clerk is the employ of Messrs. Easton and Amos, engineers, its the Grove, Southwark, and George Smith, an engineer, in the same service. were fur ther examined, charged with robbing their employers. The prosecutors have upwards of 300 workmen, who are paid every Saturday evening. The prisoner G. Smith was one of their engineers, and according to the wages hook was entitled to receive 1/. 6s. 10d. en Saturday last. the prisoner William Smith being a clerk, hie duty was to make out tickets bearing the number of each work man, and the amount due according to the books. These tickets were taken by William Smith to the ca shier, who counted out each man's money, and placed it in a bag with the ticket. On Saturday evening the other prisoner's number was called, and he received the bag containing Si. 6s. 10d., and took the money away with him, and the ticket that was falsely made out by his com panion in crime, he at the same time well knowing that he was only entitled to N. 64. 10d. The firm, ever since W. Smith had been in their service, bad missed large sums of money weekly, but were unable to ascertain how it had gone until within the last week or two, when from information they received, they suspected the manner in which they had been robbed. To detect the prisoner die fake ticket t in by We , • Smith was put n a bag with Si, Os. 101. and given to George Smith, who claimed the contents as his wages. He was allowed to leave the counting-house, and as he did net return the amount beyond his legal wage«, the prosecutors gave both prisoners into custody on Monday. Evidence having been given to that effect by Mr. Lewes, the cashier, and Mr. Easton's son, Mr. S itomon called on his worship to commit the prisoners for trial for the larceny. Mr. Binns contended that there was no larceny. Mr. Solomon—lf not a larceny, there is a fraud ; but I shall be able to show that it was a larceny. Mr. A'Beckett—Can it be called a fraud when the parties are not deceived ? The first prisoner, as clerk, has not paid any money to the other. Mr. Solomon—Wm. Smith wrote out the false ticket, and the other received the money, knowing that he was not entitled to receive the sum of money; therefore the larceny was proved. Mr. Solomon here called his wor ship's attention to the Ist Carrington and Kirwan, 195, " The Queen v. Williams," a case tried by the late Ser geant Mirehouse on the 6th February, 1853, at the Old Bailey. Overtures were made by a person to the ser vant of a publican, Mr. Davis, of the Blue Posts, Ber wick•street, to induce him to join in robbing his master's till. The servant communicated with his master about it, and the latter told him to speak to the other, allowing him to come to his master's premises, the master having previously marked some money, which he directed his servant to place on the counter, in order that it might be taken up by the party who made the overtures to his servant. It was so taken up, and the judges held it to be a larceny. His worship would perceive that the case be fore him was exactly similar, and the prisoners ought to be committed for trial. Mr. A'Beckett said that under these circumstances he should commit both the prisoners for trial. Mr. Binns remarked that, as his worship had decided on committing his clients, he hoped be would send them to the Central Criminal Court, as they would have the benefit of the learned judges to try the case. It was of great importance, in which several points of law were in volved. Mr. Solomon had no objection to the course being taken, as he was also of opinion that it was a very irn• portant case. _ _ Mr. A'Be,ekett said, that as both parties wished it on particular grounds he should commit thelprisoners fir trial at the next Criminal Court Sessions. Mr. Binns hoped under the circumstances that his worship would accept bail. 'Mr. A'Beckett had no objection, provided each pri soner could find two sureties in 501. each,and themselves in 1001., but they must give 24 hours' notice to the pro mention. UNEXPECTED ARRIVAL OF TIM PRO VINCIAL SWELL MOB IN LONDON. On Tuesday morning, a gentleman named Smith, a marine commission agent, from Liverpool, gave intor mation to the Police Commissioners respecting the ar rival of nearly the whole (f the provincial swell mobs men in London by the Great Northern and other rail ways during the last few days. It appear;, from•what transpired at the Marlborough street police-court, on a charga of pocket- picking at the West-end, that the magistri,tes and police of Liverpool, Birmingham, Manchester, and various important manu facturing towns, had recently been engaged in hunting the swell mob from their usual haunts in consequence of the late daring robberies which were o. nightly oc currence, The authorities, with great energy, see to work, and, aided by the local police, several of the most desperate of the gang were apprehended, and sent to gaol for long periods of imprisonment. for their unlawful de predations. The determination of the magistrates be came known to the principal members of the fraternity, who called a meeting, at which it was unanimously agreed to proceed to London for a few months for a " change of air and to visit the metropolitan wonders." The chief portion of the fraternity arrived in town on Thursday last in time to witness the illuminations, and the fireworks in the parks, where they reaped a rich harvest, and gave a due account of their successes. From what was gleaned yesterday at the police-court, Marlborough-street, it seems that two of the gang have been captured in the City, and sent for trial, and by some chance the captain of the gang was brought up before Mr. Bingham, on Saturday last, for an attempt to pick pockets, in the vicinity, of Regent-street, but for the want of sufficient evidence the prisoner was dis charged by the magistrate. It is fully expected that the metropolitan detectives will be asslsteit by a body of the provincial police from each town, whereby many of the gang may be recog nised in their light-fingered avocations. They may be seen every day sitting on the top and inside of the omnibuses, travelling between Hyde-park corner and Blackwall. They have made several successful visits to the Docks in entrapping the unwary foreigners, and their efforts at the metropolitan railway stations have proved fruitful. Sergeant Foay, Sergeant Jackson, and other active officers of "the II division, Leman-street, Goodman's ,fields, have obtainei a clue to the whereabouts of seve ral of thenang, and not many hours will elapse before some are captured at their unlawful work. I MINERALS THAT WE EaT.—There is ono mineral be yond all others essential to life. If we may be permitted to recall the very common phrase by which man is said to be a brick, we would indicate the propriety of speak ing of phosphate of lime as the mortar which completes the edifice. The phosphate of lime cements and stiffens the gelatine of the hones. It is the so-called bone-earth to which the bones owe their stiffness and solidity. It is the phosphate of lime which renders them capable of supporting the weight of the body, protecting the deli cate organs of life, and serving as levers on which the muscles may act. Phosphate of lime reaches us in all flesh, and in most articles of vegetable food, but especi ally in some of the cereals. A striking illustration of the value of the phosphate of lime, as a constituent of our dietary, may be found in the fact that, nearly all the nations of the earth feed either on wheat or rye, or on barley or oats, and these grains appear to be specially adapted for human use, by reason of the large quantities of phosphate of lime ,which they contain.—household Words. THE AMERICANS HAVE NOTHING TO FIGHT ABOUT. —To send Mr. Crampton home is nothing. It is not a war measure ; it is a peace movement. It will be the re moval of the everlasting enlistment difficulty from the two troublesome negotiators, Palmerston and Marcy. The people of England care nothing for it ; we care no thing fir it. It is a matter of police with us, just like any other violation of our laws. Mr. Crampton once out of the way, and the laws have been vindicated. England cannot recall him, because he only obeyed or ders; we can dismiss him ; and it is probable that the true men in England sincerely desire that it may he done. Thera are some nervous and weak people who have confounded such a proceeding with offensive and warlike measures. That is great folly— there is not a speck of war in it. It amounts to nothing but an act of our own internal administration, with which England has no concern. We send her agent home, s aying to her Majesty, c‘ Mr. Crampton has violated our laws, and in doing so, in a Government solely of laws, his example cannot be tolerated ; we therefore send him back to you. What we do is to protect ourselves, to execute our statutes, and to pre serve the integrity of our institutions." There is no war in this ; it is food for silly alarmists that is all. Again, the Belize colony is another affair which is said to threaten war. If so, will somebody tell us how it is to come about I Eogland disputes with us on the Clayton treaty ; but she offers to refer the matter to an umpire of our own choosing. War, then, must come" of our declaration by Congress ; for, if resorted to, it must be to dislodge Greatßritain in the Belize. That declaration must be made after we shall have rejected the proffered arbitration. Now, there is such a thing ;is an absurdity; at least there is with those who express fears of a war on such a basis. Nothing can be more silly —nothing more preposterous. Even Marcy and Pal merston, who have been playing for the stakes, have never thought of war. They are annoying trickster, and selfish bunglers, but they know that no harm will come of the dispute. We have just witnessed the termination of the great Russian war. The protocols of the Conference at Paris we have already published. They bespeak peace to the world. They write the history of the last war. They tell the story of that agency in settling disputes, and proclaim to mankind that it is a murderous process at best, doing endless injury—doing nobody any good. The Paris Conference has become the underwriters of nations, assuring peace, and inaugurating the reign ell industry throughout the world for many years to come —perhaps fur ever. Ships and railroads are to take the place of forts, and internal commerce is to unite the na tions into one great social family, and to give the law to their political intercourse. Political revulsions in the do mestic concerns of nations will be, doubtless, of frequent recurrence ; but such things only indicate the progress of the people in matters of local government—..he gra dual encroachment of the popular upon the aristocratic power of the nations. We have no serious dispute with England, nothing to estrange the two nations from each other, certainly nothing to quarrel about. In the Cramp ton and Belize matters there does not appear to be a point of possible collision.—Nets York Herald. [ADTERTI3RM ENT. ]—ASCOT R 4 C ES. —SIGHT am ifitARING.
