THE CASE OF THE REV. H. J. HATCH. COURT OF EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.) (Before the Lord Chief Baron, Barons Martin, Bramwell, and Channell.) HATCH V. LEWIS. "Mr. M. Chambe's, with whom was Mr. Garth, said this was a case tried before the Lord Chief Baron. The jury found a verdict fo' the plaintiff with 40 shillings damages. He had now to name for a rule to show cause why the court should not award he plaintiff his full cosis, and, if not, why the verdict siould not be set aside and a new trial had. He moved first, of the ground that the damages were in adequate ; second on the ground of misdirection of the learned Judge wlo tried the case ; and third, on the ground of improper rejecton of the evidence. Baron Martin itquired what authority the Court had to interfere ? Mr. Chambers said he would show their lordships that they had not onl: a right to interfere, but it was their duty to do so. With •eference to costs this was a most important application. The Lord Chisf Baron said that the two applications were quite indepeident of each other, and the Court could not entertain then together. Mr. Chambers said he would submit his motion, and after he had given hs reasons it would be for the Court to decide. The Lord Chid Baron said that if Mr. Chambers wished to move for a nev trial he was entitled to do so, or to move that the costs should be allowed, but the Court could not allow them to betaken together. Mr. Chambers was quite unaware of any point of practice which prevented him from taking them together. The Lord Chief Baron enquired whether he knew of such a course having been taken before. The Court thought he might make either application, and in time both. Mr. ChatoberE thought that surely the Court could not decide until it had heard his reasons. The Lord Chief Baron said it had never beenknown that two such motions had been taken combinedly. Mr. Chambers said he proceeded under a recmt statute, and he should claim his right to be heard. When the Court had been kind eaough to hear him, then it might come to a decision. It arpeared to him that it was a most important matter, and ho vould inform the Court of the unfortunate position in which his client was placed. The Lord Chief Baron repeated that Mr. Chambers might move for costs, or for a new trial. Mr. Chambers said he should move for both. The Lord Chief Baron (excitedly)—Then the Court will not hoar you. Baron Bramwell said that such a course as that suggested by Mr. Chambers, was not in accordance with the general practice of the court. Did Mr. Chambers think it right to submit one motion, and the other in the alternative ? charges preferred against him. It was then promised by Mr. Lewis that he would attend before the magistrates on the next morning. He went there and saw Mr. Hatch, who told him the circumstances, and that all his family could contradict the charges that had been made against him. The first negligence on the part of Mr. Lewis was in not asking for a remand, so that he might examine witnesses. Mr. Chambers said he did. The reason he moved it as an alternative was that, if he made separate motions he should have to go over the ground twice. He had been driven to come to the court in consequence of an application having been made to the Lord Chief Baron to certify that it was a fit question to be tried in a superior court. The Lord Chief Baron said the matter tiood thus. Mr Chambers had a perfect right to apply for a new trial or for the coats, but the two questions had no connection with each other. The Lord Chief Baron said, that surely Mr. Chambers did not mean to say that it would have been prudent to discuss the matter before a magistrate. Mr. Chambers said that Mr. Lewis had previously said Cat the case must go to trial. The Lord Chief Baron said that it was not at all probable that the magistrate would dismiss the case. Mr. Chambers repeated that Mr. Lewis had previously determined that the case must go to trial. The Lord Chief Baron thought he was right. One of Mr. Hatch's allegations was that Mr. Lewis had so mis managed his case that he was sent to trial . Mr. Chambers would then, in the first case, apply for a new trial, and in giving his grounds he would state the circumstances which would bear upon the question of costs. He would state distinctly in the Lord Chief Baron's presence that the summons was taken out in order that his lordship might certify that this was a proper case to be tried in the Superior Courts. Mr. Garth and Mr. Charles parties. He did not h P e o s l i l t o a c t k e t a o t t s e a n y d , e t d h a f t o for there the wasre s respective iav judge upon the bench who would not instantly have certified in such a case, for no doubt could be entertained that it was a fit subject to be tried there. But the Lord Chief Baron said he would not grant a certificate until after the fourth day of term, in order that he might see whether either party moved for a new trial. Now the obvious answer to that was this, what had the mov ing fora new trial to do with the question whether this was or was not a proper case to be tried in a superior court. The Lord Chief Baron's refusal to certify at that time placed Mr. Hatch in this predicament—if he had waited until the lapse of four days in order to see whether the learned judge would certify he would have been deprived of the opportunity of moving for a new trial if his lordship had refused. Under. these circumstances he (Mr. Chambers) thought that to save expenses he should move a rule in the alternative. He would now introduce to their lordship's attention the facts of the case, but first of all he would speak of what occurred before the trial came on. This would go to the merits of the case as well as to the question of costs. The venue had been originally laid in Hertfordshire, and the defendants made an affidavit on moving for a special jury that it was an im portant case. The Lord Chief Baron inquired in what state these facts were before the Court now. Had Mr. Chambers any affi davits in reference to them ? Mr. Chambers said he had. There were two of the judges on the bench (Baron Bramwell and Baron Channell) who would have too much reason to recollect part of the history of this most miserable case. It was proved at the last trial that Mr. Hatch was a gentleman of excellent edu cation, and well connected. He had some clerical employ ment when he was appointed to the chaplaincy at Wands• worth. While there he foolishly embarked in some specu lations in reference to an insurance company, and in some literary matters which contributed to his difficultk.in th...t state of things. Somewhere about the month of July, 1859, he and Mrs. Hatch having adopted a little girl, called Lucy Hatch, the orphan of a surgeon who died in the Crimea, were desirous of engaging a governess. They did so, and this led to a communication with the Plummers, whose daughters they were to take in order to assist in meeting the expenses. On the 11th of August, 1859, Mr. and Mrs. Plummer came down with Eugenia Plummer. They stayed at Mr. Hatch's during the afternoon, and left after 10. Mr. Hatch went out with Eugenia Plummer and Lucy Hatch to see Mr. and Mrs. Plummer off, and during the whole time they were away they were seen by six persons, including Mrs. Hatch. The names of these persons were— Baron Martin said that it would be convenient if before entering upon these particulars Mr. Chambers would state what were the pleadings in the case. Mr. Chambers—Certainly. They were that the plaintiff being in charge on the allegation that ho had commmitted certain offences, and being about to appear before the m agistrate at Wandsw or th retained t h e M essrs . L ew i s for fee and reward, to con d uct the case and defence o f th e plaintiff preparatory to and d ur i ng the hearing of the charges, and that a ft er t h e plaintiff had been comm itt e d * o prison by the ma g i s t rate to take his trial, he engage d t h e defendants to prep are and conduct the defence b e f ore an d during his trial a t th e Central Criminal Court, and that in consideration thereof; th e d efendants prom i se d t o use a ll proper skill and dili gence; and the plaintiff said that after wards he was in du e ti me indicted and tried; and that b y reason of the negli gence • of the defendants, and their not using proper skill and care, the plaintiff was, upon the said trial at the Central Criminal Court, convicted of the charges made against him, and sentenced thereupon to two years hard labour for the offence. it was further alleged that the plaintiff was disgraced and degraled, and put to 'expense and trouble in obtaining his pardon, and also in prosecuting Eugenia Plummer, against whom he obtained a conviction for perjury. There could not be a more important case—first, with regard to Mr. Hatch, who alleged that by the negligence of the Messrs, Lewis he had been injured; seconi, with regard to the Messrs. Lewis themselves as to their professional duties ; and third, to the public and to the great profession of which Messrs. Lewis were members. He should show that from first to last the Lord Chief Baron took a very peculiar and unusual view a the case on the part of Mr. Hatch, being guided and governed by a one-sided view. The Lord Chief Baron proceeded to sum up the case entirely against Mr. Hatch, and laid down some positions of law which might be easily contro verted; the result being that the Lord Chief Baron— Mr. Chambers said that - vas not the only negligent e complained of. Mr. Lewis, at the police-court, put into the witness-box an unexamined witness, which brought Mr. Lewis within the general allegation of a want of the due care and diligence which an attorney ought to exercise. Moreover, it was alleged that Mr. Lewis examined the witnesses so carelessly that the magistrate com mitted Mr. Hatch for trial, offering at the same time to admit him to bail. Mr. Hatch was committed to Horsemonger•lane Jail, and Mr. Lewis was over and over again entreated to go there and see him, but Mr. Hatch never saw him there until a day or two before the trial. (The learned counsel, at some length, entered into particulars in reference to the alleged refusal of Mr. Lewis to call witnesses on the trial, in defiance of the fre quently expressed wishes of Mrs. Hatch, who took all her witnesses to the Old Bailey—witnesses not only to facts but to character.) The result of the trial everybody knew. He did not blame Mr. Sergeant Ballantine for not calling witnesses—he would have been a madman to do so under the circumstances—because the facts were not accurately laid before him by the attorneys who instructed him. He would hand up to their lordships this ragged brief, and he thought it merited the appellation of a " thief's brief," that is, such a brief as would, in point of fact, be prepared for the defence of a thief known to be guilty. He made no charge against Mr. Sergeant Ballan tine, but what he said was this, that the attorney did not do his duty between the client and the counsel. Mr. Lewis took £76; he said £44 was outlay, the rest was for him self. His case was this : his brother saw Mr. Hatch once, he saw him twice, he wrote the heading of the brief, and Met some other trifling sei vieee +h. first attorney of the land would not have made out a legitimate bill of costs for more than £lO 10s. This was a prima facie case, to be supported by two children. True, but six months' experience would teach us that children would bear their own examination better than any one else. It was, indeed, impossible to break them down, and if the counsel for a moment lost his temper and pressed the child who was in the box severely, every man in the Court became the defender of the children, and the case of the unfortunate accused was injured. In a difficult case like this the attorney ought in the first place to have gone and seen the house where the offence was alleged to have been committed ; he should have got the evidence of the witness and inserted it in the brief of counsel. Then the counsel would have been able to decide at the close of the case for the prosecution whether he had so far broken down the testimony that he ought not to call witnesses, but if he had not he could have brought forward the evidence of the wit nesses whose names appeared in his brief. Then Mrs. Hatch suggested that Field, the detective, should be sent to make inquiries about the Plummers. Mr. Lewis said, "No, Field is a fool ; Brennan is my man," and Brennan was sent, and what was Brennan's evidence at the trial of this cause? He said he having been to the neigh bourhood of the Plummers had discovered a clue—he had found where a servant, formerly in their employment, was to be found, who could give information as to whether the children were truthful, and where they had been at school. Mr. Lewis said to him here is £5 for you, you need make no further inquiries, as we have determined not to call wit nesses. Then there was another subterfuge, that Mr. Lewis had had frequent interviews with Mr. Sergeant Ballantine, and informed him of the facts that were not in the brief, and the fact was that Mr. Lewis had not informed him self of those facts, and, therefore, he could not impart a knowledge of them to Mr. Ballantine. The learned counsel then proceeded to state the facts as to how the charge was originally made by Mr. Plummer in a letter to the Bishop of Winchester, and how Mr. Hatch had resigned his situation on the suggestion of Mr. Onslow. He then stated the evidence given on the prosecution of Mr. Hatch, and on the prosecution of Eugenia Plummer, show ing how the cue would have contradicted the other, and argued that had Mr. Sergeant Ballantine known (and Mr. Lewis ought to have informed him) the evidence that the witnesses could give he would have called them, and thus contradicted Eugenia Plummer, and secured Mr. Hatch's acquittal. Again, then, there was the child" Lucy Hatch she was a very important witness, but he did not find so much fault with what Mr. Lewis had done with respect to her as he did in not calling the independent witnesses in waiting at the trial. Had he done so the jury would have said, we have had enough of this painful case and a favour able verdict t..) his client would have been returned. Eugenia Plummer having been convicted of perjury the younger child Stephanie not having been proceeded against his lordship, he thought, had made some observations against Mr. Hatch's position. Lord Chief Baron—No. I certainly did not. I said nothing of the kind. In my opinion the law went as far as it could go in convicting such a child as Eugenia. Mr. Chambers said he thought at the time that was the effect of his lordship's observation, but he was glad ho was under a misapprehension. With respect to the summing up of the learned Chief Baron, he thought the jury were misled. In the first place, ho objected to his lordship telling the jury that in order to find a verdict for the plaintiff they must be satisfied that conviction fol lowed negligence. Secondly, he thought it was a misdirection in excluding from the consideration of the jury all matters relating to the petition of Mr. Hatch; and the great blot of all was that his lordship had misled the jury by saying, aft , r Sergeant Ballantino had given his evidence, in which ho took the whole responsibility of not calling witnesses, that there was an end of the case. Lord Chief Baron—Mr Chambers; I beg to state that that did not take place. What I said was there is an end of the case as far as the calling witnesses is concerned. The learned gentleman having commented on several portions of the summing up, he (Mr. Chambers) completely exonerated the jury— in order to show the jury that Mr. Hatch ought , to lose the case, misled the jury into one of the most curious verdicts ever delivered in a court of justice. The singularity of the verdict appeared to Lave been produced by the Lord Chief Baron thinking that it was desirable and just that Messrs. Lewis should gain the verdict, and that Mr. Hatch should lose it, so that between the difficulties the jury seemed to say that Messrs. Lewis had been guilty of negligence, and gave a formal verdict of forty shillings, which, he contended, ought to be set aside. That verdict might have been submitted to by Mr. Hatch had not the Lord Chief Baron refused to certify until he saw whether a compromise could be effected, by holding over his certificate until the lapse of time in which a new trial could be moved for. The Lord Chief Baron said he had thought from the first that the jury who tried Mr. Hatch ought to have accuitted him. He thought that the story told against him was in credible to the point of impossibility. His opinion was that the jury found him guilty when circumstances which had reached them prejudical to Mr. Hatch's character. At the same time, he thought that the best way of meeting the case was that which Mr. Sergeant Ballantine had adopted, even if he had known everything. Their lordships reserved judgment. The Lord Chief Baron (excitedly)—That was one of the reason I refused to cet tify. I refused to be a party to any compromise. If you wish, Mr. Chambers, to move for a new trial, you can do so ; but I may tell you, that an inti mation was held out to me that if I would give a certificate there would be no motion for a new trial ; and I think the remarks you have made are most improper. Make your motion and do as you please. I think it is a very improper thing to attempt to overawe a judge in the way that has been done in the exercise of his discretion, and I sent you here to make any remarks you please. Mr. Chambers—You did not send me here, because I did not appear before you on the summons. Mr. Garth said that, when he made his motion in cham bers, his lordship asked him whether either of the parties intended to move fora new trial. The Lord Chief Baron said that it was not the first time he had heard of a suggestion for such a compromise. Mr. Chambers said that how a judge could hear pro posals in reference to such matters before application was made to him, it was net for him to say. The Lord Chief Baron repeated that he was certainly led to believe that if he had given a certificate for costs there would be no motion for a new trial. Mr. Chambers said there never had been any intention of the kind. He had been told that the Lord Chief Baron had stated that he would wait till the expiration of the first four days of term before he granted a certificate. B zon Channel said that ever sines he had been on the bench he had adopted that course, and had never had any doubt about its correctness.

NUMBER OF NEWSPAPERS IN THE UNITED STATES, Among all the various evidences of growth which the United States have presented to the world none is more satisfactory or important than the rapid increase in numbers constantly improving tone of the public journals. Less than a century ago— in 1775—there existed in the United States 34 newspapers; in 1800 we find they had increased to 200 ; in 1830 to 1,000 ; whilst in 1860 the total was 5,253—m0re, we believe, than are printed in every other portion of the globe. Of these about 300 are daily papers—some having both morning and even ing editions-72 of which are published in New York, 35 in Pennsylvania, 32 in Ohio, 28 in Illinois, 23 in Indiana, 22 in Massachusetts, 18 in Missouri, 17 in California, and 15 in New Jersey. The dailies having the largest circulation are the New York Times, Tribune, and Herald, each of them distribut ing over 60,000 copies per diem. Of the weekly papers 613 are published in New York, 407 in Illinois, 353 in Pennsylvania, 348 in Ohio, and 230 in Indiana. 114 weeklies are published in New York city, 65 in Boston, 44 in Philadelphia, 33 in San Francisco, and 32 in Cincinnati. In the Southern and South-Western States the number is not only considerably smaller, but is much less in proportion to the number of inhabitants. The commercial and manufacturing people of the Eastern, Middle, and Western States, all have their daily, tri-weekly, or weekly papers, either metro politan or provincial, while in the planting districts only the better conditioned inhabitants are patrons of the press. Of these five thousand and odd jour nals, 324 are devoted to religious topics ; 253 are printed in the German, 16 in French, 5 in Welsh, 4 in Spanish, 3 in Italian, and 2 in the Swedish lan guages. We see by the above computations that the newspaper enterprise in the United States has grown into one of immense magnitude and influence; but when we take into account the fact that the number of journals at the present time is nearly double that of ten years ago, and four times what it was twenty years since, we may presume that it is still a comparatively undeveloped power.—The London American. We understand that a reply to the second Report of the Commissioners of the National Defences is now in preparation by:Captain Cowper Coles, R.N,—Artny and Navy Gazette.

(Before the Judge Ordinary.) BARNEY V. BARNEY-A BRUTAL AND PROFLIGATE HUSBAND. This was a suit instituted by Mary Anne Barney for a dissolution of marriage on the ground of her husband's adultery and cruelty, to which there was no appearance. Mr. Sergeant Pigott and Mr. T. J. Clarke were counsel for the petitioner. It appeared that the parties were married in June, 1854, and cohabited until the 22d of December, 1858, when they finally separated. The petitioner was the daughter of a licensed victualler at Dudley, in Worcestershire, who gave her £5OO on her marriage, and subsequently advanced the respondent £5OO more to relieve him from his pecuniary difficulties, which were brought on by his own misconduct. He was engaged as a warehouseman in the City at the time of the marriage and represented himself to be in very good circumstances, though shortly afterwards he became a bankrupt. In the early part of the year 1855 he left the petitioner and went to Paris in company with a prostitute, but notwithstanding this conduct she forgave him, and they resumed cohabitation at Dudley, where the respondent obtained employmew, ap clerk in a brewery. Ho again left her, but on promise of his amendment she was induced to receive him back, but his drunkenness and ill treatment became so intolerable that she was compelled to take refuge at her father's, and though she consented to live with him as his wife, she could not be induced to leave her father's house, where they resided for some time. She accidentally became possessed of a letter addressed to her husband by a prostitute, and on mentioning the matter to him he became very violent, struck her, and bit her fingers He afterwards left her, but wrote to her threatening to shoot her if she instituted proceedings against him for a divorce, or if she did not prevent him being prosecuted for embezzlement, of which he was subsequently convicted and sentenced to four years' penal servitude, which punishment he was at present undergoing. _ _ The evidence fully established the case, and the Court made the decree nisi, and also directed that the petitioner should have the custody of the three children, issue of the marriage, until further orders. DE ROSE V. DE ROSE. This was the petition of the wife, praying for dissolution of marriage on the ground of her husband's adultery, coupled with desertion, and there was no answer by the respondent. The parties were married in 1846, and lived in different parts of the metro. r olis until March 1857, when the alleged desertion took place. The respondent was a g,unsmith, but the petitioner contributed to their mutual support during their cohabitation by attending her brother's shop, for which she received seven shillings a week. They had five children by the marriage, and the petitioner had not given her husband any cause for complaint ; but in March 1857 ho became ye' y violent, and threatened to knock her down. Ultimately he left her, and had not since contributed anything to her support, and was alleged to have been living with another woman. Ihe case stood er for the consideration of the learned judge. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.) MARLBOROUGII-STREET. DISORDERLY FOREIGNERS.—Louis Merry, a French plumber, of 27, Great Crown-court, and Auguste Gelson, a Belgian agent, were charged with creating a disturbance in Princes-street, and Merry was further charged with being drunk. Smith, 122 C, said ho saw the defendants fighting, with a large crowd round them, and shouting and making a great noise. They refused to go away, but with the assistance of three other constables he got them to the station. Merry said (through Mr. Albert, the interpreter) that one of his workmen's wives had been living with Gelson, and that on his expostulating with him he struck him in the eye with a key. Henri Protz, of fl , Gront Crown-court, a workman of Merry's, said that he was out for a walk with his wife, when Gelson pulled at his wife and wanted her to go home with him, and then Gelson struck him in the eye with a key, or something he had in his hand ; Gelson then ran awy. _ _ _ in answer to Mr. Yardley, the witness said—" My wife is de cause of all dis dreadful war," Mr. Yardley said he should fine Merry 55., or three days, for being drunk, and Gelson 205., or eight days, for the assault.

Mr. Ambrose, of Park-street, Regent's-park, purchased a parcel of theological books at a stall in Hol born. Amongst them was a work entitled, " A Christe Exhortacien unto Customable Swearers," by Miles Cover dale, black letter, printed by Nicholas Hill, without date, but supposed to be 1535. On inspecting the volume, be, discovered seven guineas, of th e re i gn o f G eorge 1., as as a letter, which, however, did not refer to the money, nor . the reason for pl ac i ng it i n it s " secret uidiug place," gwe4 Pl 3 il4 t4Q C9YOrg ER ,T ~~ RECENT 'KILLS AND BEQUESTS. The will of General Vernon, C. 8., was proved in the London Court on the 16th inst. by the executors therein appointed—namely, William Frederick Vernon, Esq., of Harefield Park, one of the testator's sons, and Robert Manley Lowe, Esq., of the Inner Temple. The personalty was sworn. under £lB,OOO. There is a peculiarity attending the family name of Vernon—the testator being for some period designated Vernon-Graham, but subse quently, the appellation of Graham was dropped and that of Vernon only afterwards adopted. This arrangement was effected by Royal permission in the usual form. This military officer is of anc eat descent, the family being derived from the old Norman Vernons. The General has seen a great deal of active military service, and retired upon his well-earned honours in 1828. The testator made his will as long since as the year 1847, which ha appears not to have altered or added to by any codicils ; it run s as follows :—The estates of Hilton Vernon, Esqand Essi ng t on th e e ld es t son , H enry Ch ar l es takes by inheritance, subject to the charge of .C 5,000 which is to be equally divided between the rtsd General's ' ivary t 1 - e c ga y t o e u e n s. Tgershe are o e n r s,who are also appointed some estates also w hi ch are directed to be sold, out of which £4,000 the i st r remainder is to be applied tooemaind bo paid to the General's daughter, and augment the residue ; thi s direction hends a colliery, which is to be disposedalso of cfoomrptrhee same object. General Vernon has been a widower since 1827, having never contracted a second mar riage. This gallant officer attained to the great age of eighty one. The will and two codicils of the Right Hon. Thomas Atherton Powys, Baron Lilford, of Lilford Hall, Northamptonshire ; Bewsey Hall, Lancashire ; Holland House, Kensington ; and Grosvenor-place, Hyde Park, were proved in London on the 13th inst. tes tator's brother, and Wm. Smyth, Esq., the execu tors, by the Hon. Henry Littleton Powy s-Keck, the ' appointed by a codicil. The personal property was sworn under £90,000. This nobleman is very familiarly known as being connected with several families of title and distinction. His will bears date in 1841, to which he added two codicils so recently executed as May, 1860. Lord Lilford appears to have died possessed of very considerable property, both real and personal; and his will contains many directions. To Lady Lilford, his relict, who, it is stated, is amply provided under marriage settle ment, he has bequeathed an immediate legacy of £l,OOO. His eldest sos), now Lord Lilford, inherits the estates in Northampton - shire and Lancashire. The estate of Bewsey he has left to his second son ; and the testator has made provision for all his I younger children under settlement, appointing his younger sons residuary legatees. There are some charitable bequests left to be distributed by the incumbents of four parishes in Northamptonshire. His lordship was formerly a lord in waiting, and was deputy lieutenant for the county of Northamp ton and a magistrate, and held the right of presen tation to nine church livings. He died at his seat, Lilford Hall, on the nth of March last, at the age of sixty. The will of Colonel Robert Kearsley Dawson, Royal Engineers, C. 8., late of Blackheath and of Derby, was proved in London on the 7th inst., by his relict, sole executrix. The will bears date so recent as January 1, 1861. Col. Dawson belonged to that distinguished corps the Royal Engineers, and had seen much arduous service. The Colonel attained his present rank in 1854, and had retired on full pay. His will is very brief, and entirely of a family nature. The Colonel's property appears principally to have been invested in railway shares, policies of in surance, endowments, &c. To his relict, whom the Colonel has appointed his residuary legatee, he has left the greater portion of his property, and the remainder,, in certain specific bequests, devolves upon his children.—lllustrated London News. TILE CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION. Yesterday the sixth report of her Majesty's Civil Service Commissioners, dated the 17th instant, was issued. The early portion of the report relates to the inquiry which was instituted by a select com mittee of the House of Commons, and to the modi fications in the arrangement of the commission which have resulted from the recommendations of that committee. With regard to the proceedings of the commission during the past year, it is stated that the total number of nominations to situations in which the order in council was applied in 1860 was 2,631, of which 1,923 were nominations of one candidate only. The number of persons nominated as competitors during the year was 706, and the num ber of situations for which they competed was 242. Of these 708 competitors in 1860, there are 48 who. obtained places in the respective competitions suffi ciently high to bring thew. within the number of situations competed for, and who would have re ceived appointments had they not failed in parti cular t übjects ; the subjects in which they have failed being, except in four cases, of a practical character. Thus 18 have failed either in bookkeep ing or account-states; 10 either in arithmetic, or thography, or handwriting ; 16 in one or more of these practical subjects ; 1 in precis only ; l in tri gonometry only ; 1 in Latin only ; and 1 in history and likewise in geography. In non-competitive examinations, during the year, the certificates have been 1,469, the rejections 317. The rejections during five years have amounted to 2,289. Out of this number all but 220 have failed either in arithmetic or •in spelling. In forty-two cases last year nominees were considered ineligible on account of age, thirty on account of health, and thirty one on account of character. The number of competitive examinations conducted during the year 1860 was 80; and by those exami nations 196 situations were filled up. The number of competitors actually examined was 603 ; and of the 407 who were unsuccessful, 319 were not con sidered to have passed examinations which would have entitled them to certificates if they had pre sented themselves with absolute nominations. The number of honorary certificates granted last year was 892. The proportion of rejections to certificates in non-competitive examinations seems to have a tendency to diminish. It was in 1857 rather more than one-third, in 1858 rather less than one•third, in 1859 one-fourth, and in 1860 less than that pro portion. "We continue to think , " s a y s the com missioners, " that this may be safel y re g arded as indicating increased ac q uirements in the candi dates, and not any laxity in our own proceedings. We venture to state this with less diffidence, for we ce rtainly perceive in the performance of the candi dates who pass, especially in spelling and arith metic, considerable improvement." 21118 DAY'S SHIFTING.

HATCH.--A mist. statement of what took place before the Lord Chief Baron in chambers in " Hatch v. Lewis," on Thursday last, hag gained publicity. The report represents that the applica tion to the learned judge was for a certificate of costs, instead of which the certificate required to be given by the Lord Chief Baron is simply a certificate that the cause was a fit cause to be tried in a superior court and not in the county court. The verdict for 40s. entitles the plaintiff to costs; but unless a certificate is given by the judge those costs are only given on the county court scale, which would be simply nothing as compared with the actual costs in a suit of such a nature as the present. The application made to the Lord Chief Baron by Mr. Garth on the part of the plaintiff, and opposed by Mr. Chatles Pollock on the part of the defendants, was for a certificate to this effect, and his lordship's refusal to give his decision until the first four days of the term will in all probability lead to a motion ors the part of Mr. Hatch for a new trial. It is stated that Mr. Montagu Chambers will either move this day for a rule for a new trial, or move to extend the time to enable hint to do so. It is stated that the Messrs.
