It is composed of a section of an engine-turned circle, repeated one hundred and thirty times—and forms an original lace-work ground, upon which is engraved in white letters, " ROWLANDS" 31 AC ASSAR OIL, FOR THE OROWTH, RESTORATION.

IN THE. HIGH COURT OF CHANCERY. TRIESEIViAR.On the 29th of May, 1855. an injunction was granted by the 14igh Court of . Chancery, and on the 11th of June following was made perpetual, against Joseph Franklin and others, to restrain them, ander a penalty of ono thou sand pounds, from imitating this Medicine, which is protected by Royal Letters Patent of England, and secured by the Seals of the Eco'c de PlM'Made de Paris, and the Imperial College of Medicine, Vienna. TRIESEMA R, No. 1, is a remedy for Relaxation, Spermatorrhcea, and all the distressing consequences arising from early abuse, &c., and its effects are effi cacious in youth, manhood, and old age ; and t- those persons who are prevented entering the married state from the results of early errors it is invaluable. TRIESEMAR, No. 2, effeetnaily, in the short space of three days, completely and entirely eradicates all traces of those Disorders which Capaivi and Cubebs have so long been thought an antidote for, to the ruin of the health of a vast portion of the population. TRIESEMAR, No. 3, Is the great Continental Remedy for that class of Disorders, which unfortunately the English physician treats with Mercury, to the in evitable destruction of the patient's constitution, and which all the sarsaparilla in the world cannot remove. TRIESEMAU, Nos. 1,2, and 3, are alike devoid oftaste or smell, and of all nauseating qualities. They may lie on the toilet table without their use being suspected TRIESEMAR, Nos. 1,2, and 3 are sold in tin casee, price lls., or f our cases in one for 335., which saves Its. ; and in 5/. eases, whereby there is a saving of 11. 125.; divide lute s searate doses, as adminis tered by Valpeau, Lallemanel, Roux, &c., &c.

THE "SOLDIER'S RETURN." The martial spirit of the inbaidi,auts of Beeston was roused, says the Nottingham, Review, on Thursday the 20th inst., by the expected return of Private Leivers, of the 7th Fusiliers. After the return of Lieut. Watson, the artisans elected a committee, for the purpose of receiving and ma naging a fund, to be called the Beeston Patriotic Fund, to be expended in tributes of respect to the wounded, and the erection of a suitable tablet to the fallen. Private Leivers volunteered about 18 months back from the militia, and, after a few months' work in the trenches, iu which he fought in several sorties, he joined in the attack on the Reclan. Having succeeded in entering the left angle, he ,hot and bayonetted one of the gunners, at the same moment that the gnu was fired which sent his right leg and the butt end of his firelock into shivers, taking away his limb as clearly as would the knife of an amputator, and knockii.g him over the embrasure into the ditch fifteen feet below. Here he lay all night, amid the cries and grOans of his wounded and dying comrades. The conam 4 .ttee, having received an intimation that he was to return on Thurs day night, had provided a chair, in which to carry him from the train, and present to him as a mark of their sym pathy for his sufferings. Accordingly a goodly number proceeded with banners, headed by the B,:eston band, to the station ; but after waiting the arrival of the last train, they had to return without him, in consequence of an unexe p acted detention at Chatham. Determined, however, not to let their patriotism get cool, they chaired .Private Oldham, of the Coldstream Guards, who was shot in the foot, and had returned a few weeks previously, and who was to have a chair presented to him at the same time. On arriving at the village they proceeded to the Commercial Inn, where a platform was erected on the balcony in front, and a few of the committee, with Oldham, having ascended, the Chair man said—" Friends, we have met this evening to welcome back from the war one of our wounded villagers, but we have been disappointed. But as the dates of the presents are fur this evening, we shall present Private Old ham with his. Some people say we have no right to go to war. They have as much right to that opinion as we have to believe that while there are unprincipled rulers of large states leading those states to rob adjoining ones of their territory, and subjecting them to laws they approve not of, fight we must ; and while such is the case fight we will. (Cheers.) And as we cannot all go, leaving our benches, out machines, and chops, we must of course engage men to go for us, while we help to carry on the business of life and the trade of the country. Looking at the trials, dangers, hardships, and horrid deaths staring those in the face who thus engage, I confess it requires no ordinary am ount of courage andpatriotism thus to engage. Lookfor a moment at the present . war. Hunger, thirst, coil, and pes tilence before them, and hundreds of gnus murderously pouring down grape, canister, and shell in perfect hail storms on the brave soldiers' heads." Aftter some other remarks, turning round to Oldham, he paid, " Robert Oldham, you have been to fight for us, and have been wounded. We now publicly welcome you back to your native village, and -present you with this chair as a mark of sympathy for your suffering, and recommend you to devote your time to reading and the cultivation of your mind, that we may esteem you for your moral as well as your soldierly charac ter, so that you may obtain a position in the village that will entitle you to the respect of all classes—a village which, for patriotism, is second to none, sending from its three thousand inhabitants three lieute• nauts, one ensign, one serjeant, a nd upwards of twenty privates, to fight fo r our coun try." Oldham then returned thanks, and the band having played " God save the Queen," the inhabitants returned to their homes. Be fore sunrise on the following morning, Private Livers, who had come down in the night, was announced as being at the station, by two Youths who had gone in that direction to fly their pige ons, b u t w h o would not be persuaded to carry the news unless he sent his leg in proof of his arrival there. The young urchins came brea thless into the village, exhibiting his le g, an d s h o uting " He's come ! he's come !" and in twenty soinntes the committee were on their way to the station with the chair, and sur rounded by a quickly gathering multit u d e. O n the hero arriving at the village, a salute of several guns was fired. The procession halted, and gave three hearty cheers, and then proceeded towards his home, the inhabitants wel coming him from every house as he passed. O no o f th e m, to remind him of the day, gave him a glass of wino and a hot cross bun. On arriving at the house of J. Watson, i a Esq., the procession again halted, andsalutae saluted n with nce three hearty cheers, after which , they soon reach e d th e i r destination. One of the committee, from nno submitted the trophies he had brought, and, addressing the wounded soldier, said, " Private Ilazael Leiv ers, we are come to welcome you back from the wars, i n which you have lost a leg in our cause, and as a mark of our sympathy we present you with the chair in which you now sit, and in which you have been carried from the station. May you enjoy many an hour of ease and happiness therein • and we trust your wild oats are left with your limb in front of the Roden ; and as you are not devoid of natural talent, wo hope that talent will be improved by reading and study, that you may attain a re spectable position in the village to which wo now welcome you, and depend upon it you will meet with encouragement from the higher classes, who will gladly help you to rise to a position of eminence iu the village." Private Leivers said he felt greatly obliged to the inhabitants for their kindness, and he would try to deserve their esteem. He was then delivered safely to his parents, and the inhabitants returned to their homes. • , 7,, v ;.. - , -.... . ••••• ~, .....S . ? . .., Li t' /• • 4 ... ..... ~.----- -.. ....,_ -. 4 ) ,ii: t. \3... ~.. • ..,,. 4 q t .: , iv . ....--;, . . 1 ;`, • , c . ,,5 , ' . 0...i.t. • 1 - . --..... ~ ( .._ '.- ' -±.: "'": C ii . * , ~ .

BRISTOL, March 29. The establishment of a diocesan trade school in ti-is city, or rather the conversion of the old diocesan school into a trade school, and its opening yesterday, was the occasion of a visit from Earl Granville, who had kindly accepted an invitation from the committee to assist at the inauguration of this addition to educational establishments, designed for the special benefit of the working-classes. The distinctive characteristic of trade schools may be briefly stated to consist in the fact that the instruction offered, while embracing the usual subjects of an ordinary English course, also includes the teaching the principles of science with special reference to trade and manufactures. I❑ the Bristol school the scientific lessons will be illus trated and practically applied by demonstrations and ex periments in a laboratory fitted up for the' purpose. To this end, the building long familiar to the public as the Diocesan school has been remodelled andturned to as much account as the space would permit. It formerly consisted of two large rooms—:upper and lo wer. These are now pat titioned off on the ground floor—first, into a convenient lecture room ; secondly, into the laboratory referred to, which is furnished and fitted on a plan supplied by Dr. Lyon Playfair.; thirdly, an apartment for the lecturer's experiments; fourthly, a lavatory, :&e., for the scholars. On the upper storey are two large class rooms, properly heated and ventilated, and a capital museum. The educa tion is not, however, to be wholly secular, but religious instruction, under the superintendence of a clergyman of the Church of England, is to be afforded to the scholars, such instruction not being compulsory on the children of Dissenters if objection be made by their parents. Su.o4.s arief outline of the institution to inaugurate which the Lord 14esident — Of thoNincil visited Bristol. The noble earl arrived at the Great Western terminus by dee morning express train from Paddington, and was re ceived by a deputation consisting of 3.ar.loshua Saunders, Manager of the-Bristol Branch of the Bank of England, the Rev. Canon Moseley, and Mr. T. C. Parr, chairman of the committee: Having entered the mayor's state carriage, his lordship was conducted to the Council-house, upon the steps of which he was received by the Very Rev, the Dean of Bristol, who conducted him . to the committee-room, in which the mayor (Mr. John Vining), the High Sheriff (Mr. A. B. Tavell), Chancellor Monk (son of the Lord Bishop of Gloucester and Bristol), and the other guests had assembled to await his arrival. His lordship having been presented to the, Mayor, and by. his Worship to the com pany, the party adjourned to the Council Chamber, in which a dejeuner a la fourchette had been laid, over which the Mayor preSided. At the conclusion of the repast the healths of " the Queen," " the Lord President," and " tho Mayor" wore proposed, and drunk with due . honours ; after which the couip.tuy rose and proceeded to inspect the school-building, which is centrally situated in Nelson-street. The inspection of the building completed, the Lord President, the Mayor, _and the other noblemen and gentle- men repaired to the hall of the Society of Merchant Ven turers, where arrangements had been made for holding a public meeting, over which Exrl Granville presided in the absence of the Lord Bishop of the diocosa, the state of whose health rendered his presence impossible. The Rev. D. WRIGHT having read an elaborate report, tracing the history of the school from its foundation in .813 to the present time. Resolutions adopting the report, approving the formation of the school onits preient basis,thanking the visitors, &0., were spoken to by Sir A. H. Elton, Dr: Lyon Playfair, Mr. Commissioner Hill, Mr. H. Bennett, Mr. W. K. Hye' t, the Mayor, Dr. Rogers , Mr. W. H. G. Langton, M.P., Mr. James Hassell, and other influential gent:omen. On the motion of the Very Rev. the Dean of BRISTOL, a vote of thanks to the noble chairman was carried by ac- clamation, Earl GRANyILLE, on rising to return thanks, was received with loud cheers. He said, if he had thought that as con ❑ected with her Majesty's Government his c•)mina to Britsol on this occasion had been meant to indicate that thaGoveru- went intended to discourage in the slightest degree the local government of a school such as that 'they were suet to pro toots , he should have stayed away; or, if they had expected him to give them better practical advice than that whit h they had already received, he certainly should not have presented himself for that purpose. He should also have stayed away if, upon making inquiry, he had found that quirements of the Privy Council, and by which the pro-, meters could claim from the Government all the assist anco which it was in their power to give. (Applause.) With respect to the appreciation of education, he was afraid it was hopeless to expect from a generation of 11II eclacate€1 parents that appreciation of education which we found among the Scotch, for instance, who for more than 150 years had enjoyed the advantages of an elementary education. Sir Arthur Elton had referred to the Govern-. tnent being able tpgive a stimulus to education by 'dispos ing of public ()films to educated men. The Privy Council had a small experiment in that way, and it ! .had answered exceedingly well. - In the same way there *ere few great employers of Wee& who could not eve* with, advan tage to themselves find the means of givileg, a stimulus of this sort: :The directors of the railway by which ho came to Bristol had a regulation not to take into their employment any person who could not read and write, and did not know somethiteg of arithmetic. He believed that this regulation entitled the directets of that line to be considered as greater edue4ors than even the excellent schools which they had eStabilehed. He was sure that the trade school might act most usefully as a sti mulus in this respect, always provided that "they strictly adhered to the rule, without which their own efficiency would be destroyed, that they should require a strict exit mieation as to whether the candidate whii.presented him self was really worthy to receive the necessary elementary instruction. It was certainly a most marvellous thing that the people of this country, while running the race of com petition with other nations, should refuse to themselves such au element of success in comme r cial progress as that of education. What would be said of a strong manwlio, having to engage with a powerful adversary, should-bind up one arm ? (Applause.) With respect to tl4 4 iort , pf edu cation it was proposed to give, they ought to take great care, and :not be the advocates of the taesiltillat, against the practical man. That which ought to be done . was titgrie, the practical man the advantage which he - could obtain by - learning something of the principles of the calling in which ha was engaged. The ordinary effect of this would be that they would establish a race of artiaans —men who would be better artisans, men who would not only understand their work better, but would be more able to deal with new pro etesses. They would establish a race of artisans who would derive pleasure and gratification from their employments, instead of that deadly weariness so well illustrated by Sirek Elton in the case of the man who pit anend to his existence. in consequence of not being able to 'week iu mere pn.tine. He believedthat by these means they would raise the artisan both in his own self-respect and in the respect of his employ ers, and all with whom he came iu coutect. He believed that au inventive genies was to be found.in every class of so. eiety, and they would give that inveu tire genius enormous ad vantages if they trained the mind to learn those principle 3 on which the labour of the artisan was founded. He could illustrate this by means of the steam-engine. Look at the position of one workman learning that the steam-engine was a mere part of a machine, and compare him with the workman sell) understood the chemical part of the steam, understood the working of the cold and heat, and who from this knowledge was able to derive gratification and delight. If this argument had force formerly, how strong it must be now that the steam-engine had penetrated 'every nook and corner of the laud. He passed a farm the other day on which a steam-engine of one-horse power was being worked, and ho had no doubt that there were many present who had seen a steam-engine in a confectioner's shop, mak ing up sugar-plums. (Laughter and applause.) Such an instrument as this being so universally used, it must be of some advantage to every person to obtain a huowledge of its properties and powers. One of the reasons that had induced him (the noble chairman),to come there that day was that he was glad to be present at the inauguration of this institution, hearing that a gentleman with whom he had been in official connection (the Rev. Canon Moseley) had been one of its most active promoters. (Applause.) de did not allude to that gentleman as - a dignitary of the Church, or as what he had recently become, to the great loss of the Privy Council, a country clergyman e but as a lute inspector of schools. When men like the ReV. Canoe 3losEley or Sir 3. Kay Shuttleworth departed from them, tie could not conceive any more urgent duty upon these who had official knowledge of what they had done than to state the debt of gratitude which the nation Owed to them. They all knew Canon Moseley, and they would agree with him, and his brother inspectors present would agree with, him, that by his high personal character; by his enthusi asm, and by the ability of his reports, he had certainly con tributed powerfully that authority to the reports of The in specters which he was happy to say they now all enjoyed. Thaler. Canon Moseley bad also had this advantage, that by his eminence in EittlieilC3 he bad been chiefly instrumental in bringing that element into on c e elementary teaching, .Many preeent, woulleaodonbt be aware that ever since 4 1 16 some examrnatsoa `oflen 1 lesechea4krOisi4saelseetloityelsete, had taken place in mechanics and mensuration, and that the physical sciences hid, to a great degree, formed part of the examination of schoolmasters qualifying fur certificates of merit. This has been much improved of late. The Rev. Canon Moseley, acting on instructions given in 1831, had prepared a graduated scheme, by which lie encouraged the schoolmasters and students of training colleges to a more precise method of obtaining a knowledge of the physical sciences. In the same way, ho had prepared a report upon a list of philosophical apparatus, grants of which could be given by the Privy Couecii, and that report was agreed to by the Privy Council in the year 1854, and he (Lord Gran ville) thought the results had not been unsatisfactory. In 1854 one schoolmaster presented himself for examination iu the physical sciences, and he was unfortunately rejected. In 1555 no fewer than 28 schoolmasters presented them selves, of whole 25 received certificates, and in the begin ning of the present year, comprising only three months, 25 schoolmasters had presented themselves, of whom 21 had passed. ID the same way, with respect to the grants for phi losophical instruments, about 80/. was spent in 1854, be tween 50 il.. and 600/. in 1855, and in three months of the pre sent year 3501. had been spent. (Applause.) Mr. Temple who succeeded Mr. Moseley, had informed him (Lord Granville) that he found the general knowledge of the schoolmasters and pupils in these special examinations to be excellent. Almost the first letter that Mr. Temple received from Mr. Moseley urged him to follow tho recommendations he had made with respect to the philosophical apparatus, and the list of instruments had been greatly improved. Mr. Tate, who had greatly assisted Mr. Temple, had invented an air pump possessing exactly the same exhausting power as the old air-pump, which could be supplied at a cost of 2/. 10s., whereas the former machine cost 1 or 12 guineas. He did not mention these facts as the slightest gloi illation of the Committee of Privy Council, but because he considered them as creditable to Cancan Moseley, who up to the day that he resigned his office was really the practical suggester and practical carrier out of those great improvements with respect to scientific instruction. Ho much regretted that Canon Moseley was no longer with them, but, though ab sent in body, he was with them in spirit. There were few of their great " dipping-days" in which Canon Moseley did not astonish the Privy Council by turning up at their meetings. He was always ready to give his time and his advice, and, what was still more valuable, his criticism. He carried his points so far that sometimes he (Lord Gran ville) had found him, as the prompter of a school, strongly criticise those regulations which, as an inspector of schools, he had strongly advised the Committee of Privy Council to retain. With respect to the school which they had that day met to inaugurate, he rejoiced to find that the boys were there instructed in the ordinaiy branches of a sound English education. He hoped that in this school special csra would be taken to teach the English language—a sub ject which was too lunch neglected in every school of every class in this country. He believed there was no advantage r which could be given to a man greater than to learn to I speak and write his own language grainmatically. It might be trivial to mention the circumstances, but he knew a lady who was proposed to and married by a very able man, not so much because he had fallen in love with her personal charms as because ho was so delighted with the letters which she .wrote to a third person. (Laughter.) He (Lord Granville) received a letter a short time since from a person applying for a Government appointment. He did not know the writer and had no place to give, but he was eo struck with' the letter that he could not resist showing it to the present Governor-General of India (Lord Canning) . That noble lord (who was one of the most judicious admi nistrators of patronage that he ever knew) was so struck with the letter that he took it away, intending to make an investigation as to the person who had written it, and see if he wero a fit person for a clerkship in the Post-office. (Applause.) He regretted that ho had not asked Lord Can ning what the result of that investigation was. In mention. ing these two circumstances, he wished to guard himself from giving the slightest hope that the future students of the trade schools were likely to get beautiful and accom plished wives by the excellence of their epistolary corres pondence—(laughter)—still less did he wish to suggest to them that they would be anything but sacrificing their pro spects in life if they were to neglect their own business in trying to soften the obdurate heart of a Minister bygrandi loquent epistles seeking for appointments. (Applause ) But ho thought tho facts he had mentioned were useful, as show ing the power of writing a letter, whether upon business or any other subject, in a clear, simple, and grammatical style. With respect to the elementary principles of science being applied to trade and manufactures, ho hoped the pro. motors of the Bristol Trade School would adhere strictly to the - rule they had laid down, of not attempting to teach the trades themselves, but confine themselves to teaching the principles that were applicable to these trades. (Applause.) With respect to religious instruction, while from the character of the promoters and the character of the school itself there was no doubt it would be of first-rate character, it was most satisfactory to him to see that there was,a very liberal provision by which re ligious education would not be made compulsory upon those whe conscientiously differed and objected to such a course. With respect to the teaching of reading, writing, arid the fret four rules of arithmetic, he had already said that he thought it desirable to adhere strictly to that role. Canon Moseley, in his letter, had suggested two points, but he did not knoir whether they had been car ried out—namely, ens respecting evening schools, and the other allowing pupils to attend half time. There might be difficulties with respect to both these points, but he was sure of this, that, while there existed that competition of labour with the claims of. education they must constantly have resort to some regulations such as those referred to if they wished to carry out their plena to the fullest ex tent. With respect to the mining school, ho (Lord Gran ville), from being an ironmaster and. a colliery owner, could not but rejoice that this was established in connec tion with the institution now inaugurated. As an instance a the value of scientific knowledge, he would mention that his colleague,. the Duke of Argyll, had, from his pe culiar education, mastered in a great degree all the physi. cal sciences, and, being a Scotchman, he - possessed those characteristics described by Mr. Commissioner Hill, and was not likely to let his habits of practical observation bo entirely thrown away. Some time since his noble friend was looking at a quantity of refuse thrown away in the working of soma metals, and was struck with its appear ance. He sent it to a provincial metallurgist, and was told that there was nothing remarkable in it. Not satise fied with that, the Duke of Argyll sent it to the Museum of Practical Geology in London,: when it was found that there was 11 per cent, of nickel, a valuable metal,, and that every ton of this refuse was worth from 501. to 601. (Ap plaui3e.) This was an instance of the value of a 'know ledge of science, and proved that such knowledge was not Sufficiently spread allover the country at the present day. He would mention another instance—a near relation of his, hay , ing extensive estates in Dorsetshire, beiag an agri 'cultnrist, hut having au peetemeioas-ta.a _leejjewleelge of geology, was informed that he had valuable dePeeits of gold on his estates. He treated the notion with contempt; but, at last, being told that thousands of pounds were spent in a neighbouring county in getting gold from a similar soil; he thought it wise to make further. inquiries. Ift, did not take inefficient advice, but went to London, and was informed there what he before expected would be the case—that " ull is not gold that.glitters." (Laughter.) Be. would .only add, that he could not help remem bering that he was now standing in the old city of Bristol—in a city which had been remarkable for ages as one of the first commercial cities, not iu Ragland, only, but in the world—a city remarkable for its merchant 'pieces—remarkable not only for its commercial energy and enterprise but for its liberality in supporting numerous iustitutions, among others that school of which he was re. minded with so much pleasure on coming into this hall. (Cheers.) He could not forget that this city had been re presented' by some of the ablest men in this country, (Cheers.) He could not forget that Burke himself, who was not always very obsequious to his neighbours or his constituents, acknowledged that he considered it the high est honour to represent such a constituency. The only thing that he, could think of as anything of an historical flaw in their annals was this—that theßristol mobs were certainly given to habits of something more than usual tur bulence when any excitement - prevailed. (Laughter.) He remembered reading a book of one of the Bulwers (he for got which), in which the writer said that if he were taken to a school and asked to predict who would be the most celebrated man present, he would not ask the schoolmaster who was the best boy, but who was the most mischievous. Now, he (Lord Granville) dissented from that doctrine. He had seen schoolfellows who had been looked down upon rather as plodders, whe used to be called " saps," but who now were some of the most distinguished statesmen and the most brilliant members of society to be met with, while his mere mischievous companion was absolutely no where: But there was this truth, that a boy who showed much energy and ascendancy over others in daring frolics was likely to display the same energy and the same strength of character applied to a useful and good purpose. He hoped they would find this the case with the labouring population of Bristol—that the more they educated them the very strength of their character and their energy (some. times shown not in the best way) would form materials from which they would be able to make a finished article of singular durability and firmness. (Applause.) Hoping they would have success in this great experiment, and thet they would set an example which would be speedily folloWed in all the other schools throughout the country, he would sit down with every feeling of confidence that they would carry on this great object in exactly the same spirit as they had begun it. Ho might, perhaps, add in a little postscript (it was a little vulgar, certainly, and rather an ordinary one) the uninteresting fact that the pro moters of the school owed 4001. to the builders. He under • • e fetgleas e etiat a t e lia, beeildere took such a matter-of fact view of the question that they would pear a little ready cash at the present moment, rather than trust to the future advantage of their workmen learning mensura tion. (Laughter and cheers.) He thought the mention of such a fact as this was sufficient to have it remedied in an assembly like the present. The noble earl then resumed his seat amid prolonged applause, and the proceedings closed. ASSIZE INTELT IGENCE. OXFORD CIRCUIT.—GLOUCESTER, lanca 29.

ALLEEGED POST-OFFICE ROBBERY. Thodiat Dyer surrendered to an indictment for steal ing, at Taunton, a pest letter, the property of the Post master-General. Mr. Slade, Q.C., and Mr. Poulden appeared for the Crown ; Mr. Edwards and Mr. Saunders defended the prisoner. In consequence of many letters being lost in transmis sion through the Taunton Post-office, a " trap letter" addressed to " Mr. Frederick M`lvor, Timberscombe, Dun,ter, near Taunton," was made up and forwarded from Bristol, on the morning of which day the prisoner was on duty as a sorter in the Taunton Post-office. Mr. Ellen, surveyor's clerk, in temporary charge of the Taunton office, inquired for a letter addressed to Mr. M'lvor, which was not forthcoming. The sorters were then searched, and the missing letter was produced by the prisoner in a soiled and crumpled state from his lelt hand jacket pocket. The defence was that, being a quick sorter, the letter had fallen into the prisoner's pocket by accident. Tito jury returned a verdict of not guilty. (Nisi Prius Court.—Before Mr. Serjeant Channel) BENNETT, CLERK, V. THOMPSON. Mr. Serjeant Singlake ' Mr. M. Smith, Q.C., and Mr. Coleridge were for the plaintiff ; Mr. Slade, Q.C., and Mr. Collier for the defendant. The p!aintiff In this action is the well known Rev. W. E. Bennet, formerly of St. Barnabas, Panlico, and now vicar of Frame. The defendant is a silk throwster, carrying on a large business in that town. The action was brought to remedy a nuisance complained of by the plaintiff, by the smoke issuing from the factory chimneys of the defendant, and which, according to the plaintiff's case, prevented him from having his windows opened, and had obliged him to give up the cultivation of fruits and vegetables in his garden. The defendant pleaded not guilty and user. The plaintiff stated that since his induction to the living a fifth chimney had been built. His garden walks were covered with smut, the smoke filled his house with blacks when the windows were opened, and even when they were closed the smoke found its way through the interstices, and brought au offensive smell into the house. The smoke was very dense and black. He had lived in London, and knew what ordinary smoke was, but this was not to bj compared with it. A great number of witnesses supported the case of the plaintiff. The defence was a broad and s emphatic) denial that there was any nuisance to complain of ; and the defendant and many witnesses were called, whose general testi mony was that the chimneys did not smoke half so much as those of other factories in the neighbourhood ; and much had been done by heightening the chimneys and altering the furnaces to avoid giving any cause of com plaint ; and that very fine vegetables were grown upoir the same slope on which the vicar's garden stood. An attempt was made to impart into the case some of the religions differences which recently agitated Frome, and it was insinuated that the real ground of complaint against the defendant was that he was a Dissenter. The case, which occupied nearly the whole day, ter minated in a verdict for the plaintiff—damages 40s. NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—LIVERPOOL, March 29. (Nisi Prius Court—Before Mr. Justice Willes.) DARBY V. OUSELEY-AOTION FOR LIBEL. In this action Edward Darby, a tidewaiter in the Cuetoms, brought an action to recover from Thomas J. Ouseley, editor, proprietor, and publisher of the Liver-, psol Herald, damages for a lib e l p u bli s h e d i n th at paper of Jan. 26. The first count charged the defendant with having published a libel in the newspaper, and the second count with having published a libel in the placard. The defendant pleaded not guilty on the first issue, and a justification for a part of the libel. Mr. Serjetnt Wilkins, assisted by Mr. Aspinall, ap peared f .r the plaintiff; and the defence was conducted by Mr. Kenealy, of the Oxford circuit, assisted by junior counsel. It appeared from the opening statement of Serjeant Wilkins and the evidence of the plaintiff, that the latter had been for 16 years a tidewaiter in the Customs at Liverpool. He was a Bernell Catholic, and with his wife attended the services of the Catholic church at Copperas Hill. In Nov., 1851, the Pope approved of the forma- tion of an association of all Catholics throughout the world, to obtain of God the return to the Roman Catholic Church of all those who separated from it, and granted to this work his special benediction. The Pope, considering that England, as at present disposed, was the grestest obstacle to the spread of Roman Catholi cism, and would become, if once brought back to that faith, its most powsrful support,,, directed all Catholics to direct their efforts specially to the point by making the conversion of England the daily object of their prayers, and by showing the example , of virtuous lives. Sundry plenary indulgenees were granted to those who should every day offer a devout prayer for theconversion of England. For admission to the association it was re qeisite t e at te name ofthe party shou'd be inscril el by a priest on airinted form, and like wise entered in a book of the adesciatiore A mission in connexion with the as sociation was held in Liverpool by the Rev. Father Ignatius (formerly a member of the Church of England), and during the services plaintiff's wife obtained one ( f the forms of admission, which . she put into plaintiff's prayer-botsk, arid he had it afterwards in his possession for a few days. The plaintiff had not done any other act for becoming .a member of the association. One day while on duty at the docks the paper dropped out of his pocket, and was picked up and taken by some ner son present to Mr. Ouseley, the defendant, who had lately come from Shrewsbury to Liverpool, where he bad established the Liverpool Herald as an organ of ultra-pretestaut views. Mr. Oaseley her: upon pub- Main the ifervitt , the. - yertifm.-0 -- : drew special attention to it in ee article in which plain tiff was spoken Ikea " rebel," "traitor," " villain,:' "not to be trusted with the property of the crown," &c. The defendant also issued a large placard, headed "A Popish Rebel in her Majesty's service." After the article ap peared it was brought to the wife of the plaintiff, and when be came home it was shown to him. As soon as - he got it he took it to Mr. Yates, his attorney, and that gentleman wrote to the defendant. (The letter was real, asking 'the defendant to, retract the expressions be bad made use of in reference to him.) The defendant replied as follows :—" Jan. 28, 1856. In reply to your com munication, which I have just received, I have only to state tliat if the Edwiard Darby ee,u a:lude to is the same party to whom I referred in the Liverpool Herald of the 19th and 26th, I have nothing to retract. The original doeumeek iA in reylo• sieSsioe ; and - I have a witness , who saw it fell from the pocket of. Edward Darby. Therefore I reiterate the expression that any man who is a member of the soriety, s the object of which is to do all it can to injure Protestantism, is a traitor t' the Crown, as no Papist can reign in these realms." The action was then brought. Sergeant Wilkins havirg finished his alciress,l His Lordship asked Mr. Kenealy what was the ques tion to be tried in this cast ? Mr. Kenealithought he would be entitled to prove a ju;tification under his plea. His Lordship said he had just read the plea, and it really was no justification at all of the libel. In point of law, as the pleadings were formed, the plaintiff must have a verdict, and the only question was one of damages. Mr. Icenealywas proceeding to make some objections, but His Lordship said the case was clear. The defendant had no status in court, and the law %N as decidedly against him. The only question to try was the amount of the damages. The plaintiff, he supposed, would be put into the box. He should have thought it a more graceful way for the defendant to withdraw, and confess regret for having published such a document. The plaintiff having been examined, Mr. Kenealy put questions intended to elicit the opinions of the witness on doctrinal matter, and, amongst other questions; asked whether plaintiff conceived him self bound by the doctrines of his church t His Lordship said he should overrule this question ; it was an inquiry into the private character of an indivi dual. . . Mr. Senealy—l want, my lord, to show that the doctrines contained in the' notes to this testament are subversive of the government of this country. The Judge—Then you must put in the testament ; but I must, unless you show me that I ant compelled to do otherwise, shut out all evidence of the general belief of individuals. It would be quite intolerable if a person sued in any cause of action wera to be at liberty to inter rogate a witness as to matter between himself and his God. Mr. Kenealy—But, my lord— The Jute—l have overruled the question ;if I hare done wrong, you have your remedy. The necessary proof of handwriting, publication, 'kr., -havintaletn-put. _ & „ r e Timm Wilkins offered that if defendant wentd -re, tract what he bad said of his client, and bear him harm less, the cage should be carried no further. Mr. Kerealy said that his client acted on principle; and would not retract anything. Seryaut Wilkins having closed his case, Mr. Kenealy, in a long and able speech, argued that defendant had .published the statement complained of for the purpose of calling attention to what he thought. was a treasonable society, in order that if treasonable those in high authority over the members of such society should inquire into the rules and regulations, and if not treasonable that no further notice be taken of it. De fendant bad never seen plaintiff, and was not actuated by any malicious motive. After contending that the object of the prosecution was to put down the liberty of the press in England, a free press being one of the great im, pediments in the way of the spread of Roman Catholism, he reminded the jury that the article was written during the excitment caused by the Austrian Concordat. He alluded to the suppression of all liberty of discussion in Roman Catholic countries, and went on to refer to seve ral decrees,,canons, &c., of the Catholic Church, with a view to show that heretical priests might be excommuni cated, at:d even murdered, but was stopped by his lord ship, who took a note of the cases referred to, but ruled them out of order. Mr. Kenealy then proceeded to say that be did not know whether the jary would be pleased at having been_ saved the trouble of hearing these extracts read ; but certainly his lordsbip had relieved him from a great deal of additional trouble. As to whether bis lordship was justified in not acceding to the reception of those docu ments, he should have further occasion to inquire. In conclusion, he would ask the jury were they about to de stroy the press of this country by sacrificing his client to the machinations of Popery? The smallest coin would suffice. His lordship then charged the jury at considerable length, and explained the law of libel and the liberty of the press. He charged strongly against the defendant. The jury, after consulting some time in the box, re tired, and, after half an hour's absence, returned with a ♦erdict for the plaintiff'-451. damages and costs. this trade school had been promoted either by parties hos- tile to the Church, or, if promoted by the Church, it had been promoted in' an- illiberal, spirit, which would be likely to drive from the school laymen etud those who did not-. agree in the doctrines of the Church. Bue when, on the contrary, he 'found - overt' elites -- sinitedi-4 1 nvely: grade of the Church connected with it, including that vene rable and sight rev. prelate whose unavoidable absence they all so - much regretted, including the landed sentry of the neighbourhood, including some of the greatest commercial men and manufacturers in this city—seeing all this, he felt that it was indeed an honour to himself to accept the invi- Lion which had been given to him. The question of educa tion itself, of what it is, and what . the educator ought to teach to the person to be educated, had been mooted, more or less for a thousand years. Latterly, iee Europe, there was a fueling generally spread with regard to the upper classes, that their education had been too exclusively con fined to classical attaintments. In this country that feeling had been often expressed, and he was happy to say that a considerable improvement was now taking place in our universities, public and grammar schools, in this respect. In Germany the feeling had been so strong in that direc tion, that what were called real or trade schools•ha.d risen somewhat in opposition to the excellent classical schools they already possessed. In France the opposition was curious to watch. On the ono hand, some of the extreme Catholic party—those who took the most narrow-minded view with regard to the interests of religion—while they thcugbt the latter an absolute necessity to be taught, yet objected to the youth of that country being taught Latin • from the works of Pagan authors, and proposed that they should learn their Latin from the latinity of the Christian fathers of the Church ; and on the other hand, some of the most eminent political economists of that country raised flair voices most indignantly against the necessity that now existed fortheinselves and their children to learn that which they did nut consider a requirement of the 19th' century. • They complained that their children wore taught citations from classical authors, and from the examples of great men of antiquity ; they learnt their notions of order from the conduct of the Gracchi and their notions of liberty from the sanction given to the institution of slavery ; that glory consisted in detestation of peace and love of war, even without a just cause, and in the contempt for la bour, which they considered simple work, unworthy of free men. Lastly, they complained th tt they should learn that patriotism consisted in detesting and injuring all other nations as much as possible. Now, there was immense ex aggeration in these objections. It was impossible for any one to consider the subject and not believe that an accu rate knowledge of dead languages was of great use in strengthening and refining the intellect—(hear)—and that the learned and sublime things spoken and written by the greatest poets, historians, and orators of the world, must tend to humanise and elevate the mind. (Applause.) Still he did not think that it was wrong, in pursuing those clas sical attainments, to exclude that knowledge of the uni verse in which we lived—of the living languages spoken by living teen. The sole question was one of degree, and he was sure those whom he now addressed would feel that if this trade school was as successful as they hoped it would be, a gentle but certain pressure would be exercised up wards upon schools of greater and higher pretensions. A re cent review in the Times stated that, " as every Bavarian was able to read, the greatest prison punishment that could be inflicted was to take away books from the prisoners." Now, it was melancholy to reflect what was the proportion of prisoners in our gaols upon whom such a punishment could possibly have the slightest effect. It was a singular fact that in England and Wales on 69 per cent. of the men who were married signed their names to the marriage cer tificates, and that there were only 56 per cent. of the wo men who were able to do the same. The city of Bristol was cast between Sumersotshireand Glocestershire, and he ob served that in the Glocestershire part of the city the percent age of education was above the average, because it was to / e found la the 10 foremost counties in that respect in England and Wales. On the other hand, the Somersetshire portion of the city was not in thelo worst counties, nor in the 10best but it was below the averageof the whole counties of England and Wales. He-fouud the average of the men able to read and writein that part of the city was 66 and a fraction per cent., while of the woeuen it was as high as 61. Now, the two difficulties in this question were—first, the want of school accommodation ; and secondly, the want or appreciation of the advantages of education. With respect to the first, it was stated, and with some truth, that no such want exist ed. Without going into this point (which he was not pre pared to admit), ho thought it gave a fallacious view of the point in dispute. It was an admitted fact that both in the poor and populous districts of towns, and in some remote rural districts, there was a want of proper school accommodation. No one knew better than himself the efforts which had been made to increase that accommoda tion, but ho did think that on this question some misap prehension existed as to the extent of the pecuniary means required. Ho (Lord Granville) ordered a calculation to be d rawn up i n the Privy Council - office, the result of which was th a t , t a king the worst case of a village school , where n o sc h oo l ex i s t e d at all, where they had to begin from the beginning—if any person could collect 1801 . or less—if he cou ld ge t th e s ite and cartage gratis (which was generally th e case ) , and could reck on on an annual sub • scription of 81. over an d a b ov e the school fees of the chin dren—he could provide a school for 50 children, not an mcellent one, but one sufficiently good to meet all the re- /. / 4' !f / [PRICE 4D. • STAMPED SD• POLICE INTELLIGENCE—March 28. MANSION-110USE.—Lawrence Hannan, William Hannan, and. Michael Leary, three boys about 10 years of age, whose heads scarcely reached the top of the dock, were brought before the Lord Mayor, charged with stealing a sack belonging to a carrier of the name of West, in French Ordney-alley, Crutched Friars. Win. Donaldson, a servant of the prosecutor, stated that he watched the prisoners on Friday afternoon, and saw them. suddenly spring into a van of which he was in charge and decamp with a sack. He pursued them, and, on overtaking them, handed them over to the cus tody of a police-officer. City c onstable W. Gale, No. 520, said that on taking the prisoners to the station-howie he searched therm, and on Lawrence Hannan he found a shilling's worth of halfpence ; on the other he found nothing. The officer added tt,a.t the prisoners were constantly prowling about, for the purpose of stealing any thing that came in their way, and they offered to pay three halfpence for the sack, which, they said, was all it was wcrth. The Lord Mayor ordered the two Haneans to be dis charged, as they had not been in custody before, and sentenc.ad Leary to be well whipped and given up to his mother, who vas waiting to take him home. John Gass, a journeyman carpenter, was charged with desertin g his wife and five children, and leaving tl em in a state a utter destitution, whereby they had became charges ble to the City. Sarah Gass, the wife, having been sworn, ktated that the prisoner left her five weeks ago, when she was ill in bed, and. had two children lying dangerously ill in the Fever Eospital, and without a farthing to procure a morsel of food. The prisoner said he - was obliged to leave his family owing t a his laving had a run of bad luck in business. Mr. Roberts, the relieving officer, said that the amount due to ,the parish from the prisoner was 153. or 108. The • wife—lle has been living with another woman. The prisoner denied this statement. The 'Lord Mayor, who characterised the prisoner's conduct; as being inhuman and cruel in the extreme, re manded. him for the purpose of affording the officer an opportunity of ascertaining whether, since deserting his wife, he: really had been living with another woman. LduiPm Hudson and William Smith were brought be fore the Lord Mayor under the following circumstances : Police-constable T. M'lntosh, 581, said —Yesterday afternoon I was on duty in Lower Thames-street, and from information I received I stopped Hudson, who was carrying a basket containing 331 b. of butter. I asked him where he got it from, when he replied that he had Leen sent by his father from Kent-street, Borough, to meet a man in. Lower Thames street, who was working at a butter warehouse. I took him to the station, when 'I asked what sort of a man he was sent for. He replied that he, was a dark man with full face and no whiskers. This description tallied with the appearance of Smith. I asked him if he knew his name, when he told me that his name was Smith, and that he lived in Castle-street, Kent-street, Borough. I then apprehended Smith upon the statement of Iludsoni, who identified him as having given hit a (Hudson) the butter. Benjamin romfret, superintendent of the warehouse ]~- of •Messrs. Barber, Bre wer's•quay, said he had engaged ~khe prisoner Smith to assist in packing some casks of butter - on" Friday; but from the great quantity of that article in store, he had not been able to detect whether any had been stolen. The officer—The way_in which the butter is abstracted is this. A few hoops are knocked .off the end of the cask, when the bottom falls out. A piece of wire is then used to cut off slices, which the thief rolls up and places round his body till he leaves the'premises,,and hands the plunder to a confederate. It does not take more than a couple of minutes to put the bottom of the cask in again. The Lord Mayor—But the butter would not be long melting, if secreted about a man's person, would it / The Officer—Butter is pretty hard about this time of the year, my lord, and we have lately had very cold easterly winds which would keep it pretty firm, The father of the boy keeps a shop where he eels butter and eggs, and things of that sort. Hodson—The truth is this, my lord. My father-in-law keeps a shop in Kent-street. He sent me to meet this man (Smith), and if I had refused to go he would have knocked me about. Just after Smith gave me the butter, the police took me into custody. Smith has given ate a basket of butter on a former occasion. The Lord Mayor—Where is Hudson's father ! The Officer—i ordered him to bs present at 11 o'clock this morning, but he is not here. J. Wright, skittle maker, of 20$, Kent-street, here stepped into the box, and said that he was in the habit of occasionally employing Hudson, who, he believed, had been lOcked up on two formei occasions for theft. "Ile - added that Hudson's father and mothet had been unable to . keep him from bad company. Hudson—You know very well that when I have been in your house you have asked me whether I was going over the water to meet Smith. You are all three very thick together. The Lord Mayor said he should not dispose of the case until the officer had made further inquiries, and obtained the presence of Hudson's father. EXTENSIVE EMBPZZLEMENT OF P DBLIC -MONEY BY A CLERK OF THE BOARD OF OIIDNANCE. PORT§IfOUTII ) . March 30:L--A considerable sensation has been created in this place by the - detection of the embezzlement of the sum of 1,1301. by a clerk employed at the gun wharf, under the Board of Ordnance, in this garrison, which was effected on Friday afternoon. In addition to the ordinary weekly salaries of the workmen and labourers, the above was the day for pay;ng the oulrterly salaries of the officers and clerks at the Gun Wa of and on the Milldam. The amount required to do r so betor t arai ds of ordrr to draw this amount Mr. Stewart, the etortkeepe;aithe Gun Wharf,lEtihe hart is of Mr. Charlie; one of the 'chief clerks, fie be taken t) the bank to be cashed. In conformity with ;um, a porter was sent with. Mr. Charlier to carry the bag of money, the custom being to receive the money is coin. Mr. Charlier was in possession of a salary of 2001. per 3101111 M. He was a married man with a &tinily, His wife was struck with consternation at his absconding,, and is unable to give any reason, pecuniary or otherwise, for his taking ouch a step. Tha following facts have transpbed in reference to the matter :—Mr. Charlier left the Gun-wharf with the office Messenger, named Joseph Sheppard, at about -half-past twelve, for the bank. On arriving there he sent Sheppard : to Mr. Nance's Railway Office, in broadrstreet, for a time bill, telling him to meet lint at the Gun-wharf gates. Sheppard procured the bi lan I went direct to the gates, and after waiting there pro ceeded to the bank to meet Mr. Charlier, when he found that he bad been there, obtained the money, and left. Sheppard Accordingly went back to the Gun-wharf, and inquiries Were at once instituted, Mr. Lege;att, the s'up-n-- intendeT,t of police, commencing-the trace in about half an hour after the money had been received. At this time it must have been at toast 1 o'clock, so that if Charlier left the town be must. have done so by the 1.46 South- C ,ast train, as in a few minutes after this time the sta tion, the steam-boat pier, and the other outlets of the borough, were placed wider the strict watch of persons having a full description of Charlier's personal appear ante. It is suspected that a former female servant, who is missing, has gone away in company with him. It is re ported that it was only a few days since that Char lier purchased a pair of false whiskers and inonAsehe at a hairdresser's in rortsmoutb, and having had them fitted on asked the peruquier if he should hare known him if ho had met him in the street. The greatest commiseration is felt. for Mrs. Cbarlier, wh, is a Edy of the most estirnab4) character, and for her two children. It is sli , oking to contempla'e the misery to which they are reduced by this act of madness on the part of their natural protector, whose capture is A matter of certainty. Indeed we underztand that this afternoon it is hourly expected to be announced. From private information we learn that Mr. Cbarlier was la,bourinct under heavy pecuniary embarraPsm,nts. In addition to the salary possessed by Mr. Cbarlier, with house tolive in, &e., Mrs. Coat'lier hal as income in Ler own right of NO/. per annum.

They were taken in London this day. upwards of 1,1001. was found upon the male n*'. FIRE AND EXPLOSION OF • AT BRISTOL; tnisToL, ;ii: .30.--44sotet tire fire this nuriling at the warehou and Co.,tirysalters-and wholesale tiff in P.tcr-s.reet. The fi which is wl , oliy unknlwn, was first ob.. t Nelve and one o'clock, in the sear of the pie.e.. owing to the quantities of oil, turpentine, ros'n, and *other combustibles in store, it spread with tremen dous rapidity, and the whole building was speedily wrapped in flame. .The engines were soon on the spot, and the firemen and police exerted themselves to the utmost to prevent the spread of the conflagration, but withouteiuccess, and at between two and three u'cl ck the fire reached the gunpowder store, which exploded wth a noise resembling the roar of artiliery. Tne shock greatly damaged the building immediately adjacent, and smashed a number of windows in the wadebonses of Messrs. Hull and Co., founders ; Mr. Roberts, seeds man ; Mr. Coombs, tea dealer, and others m ore remote . Several persons were injured by the explosion, among; whom was a police-sergeant, but as far as could be learned none of them are butt very seriously. It is thought that some of the burning embers ulna have been forced by the 'hock of the explosion into the shatter( d roofs of the adjacent houses, for; at about six o'clock, when it was thought all the danger was pat, it was dis covered that the premises of Messrs. Thornton and Bond, hosiers and lacemen, and Messrs. C!arke, bout and shoe manufacturers, embracing three entire houses, were i n fl ames . All efforts t arrest the progress of the fire proved unavaiine until all those houses h a d b een completely gutted and ' considerable injutydone to the premises and stock of Miss Coombs, grocer, and Mr. Street, linen draper.

Van Der Linder, agents Kerr, Boyle, and Co.), left London on the 21st April last, and arrived at Hobart Town on the Ist Dec. The Tasmanian Daily News says that the passage was prosperous until she rounded the Cape of Good Hope, and then she encountered a continuation of gales, in tense beyond all previous experience, against which she contended for sixlvaelplcdaring which time her bulwarks were carried away, her boats s tove, and all on board e xperienced the agonies of anticipated shipwreck. She put into Sourabayd for repairs on the '9th:Atigust, and it was found that she had hardly a bolt which had sot started, rendering it little short of a miracle that she held together at all. She remained at Sourabayd two months, the cabin passengers, of whom there were nines being accommodated at an hotel, and the intermediate passengers, 20 in number, in a store fitted up for them. Among the cabin passengers were Messrs. Pears (York) and Roberts, students from Kneller Hall, who went out as teachers to the Tasmanian Training Institution. )` 6;P... .• Os k 488 per aere ,acb. 6a 168 r lb. ated alive been with if &V , >dui, well 10 5 92% oz. ,7 9 O 0 0 0 O 0 0 0 it ogle' ut tau cu 3 cartels l 6; :hotel ^ G RD In 20 10' E. .1' frog W l ' no. mutl• r. 0 I rot " fighter aler t. 1911/ • E B 4 .
