(Before the Lords Justices.) LUNATIC PETITIONS.-IN RE BOOTH, EX PARTE riumr AND JOHN MOTH. This was a petition for the renoval of the committee of the lunatic, and for the introduction of a new person to the committee for the better comfort of the lunatic. vv Lord Justice Turner, considering that the lunatic's in come was now £000; and that the committee wished to re sign, was of opinion that the lunatic should have a separate establishment of his own, and that a fic and proper person should be appointed to conduct it and reside with him—the old committee not to be discharged until the new one is appointed ; and remit to the Master to prepare a scheme accordingly, and to report. Lord Justice Knight Bruce concurred. Costs to stand over until the Master has made his report. APPEAL MOTION-STAINTON V. CARRON COMPANY-MR. [LADEN V. STAINTON ET E CONTRA. This is an appeal motion (Stainton against the Carron Company) from a decree of the Master of the Rolls, dated 25th July, 1857, declaring that the compromise entered into was not binding on the parties, and for injunction, and that the company were not precluded from surcharging and falsifying the accounts from the commencement of the company down to the decease of their partner. Mr. R. Palmer, Q.C., is now being heard for the appel lants. POLICE IN7ELLIGENC.E—(TMs Day). MARLBOROUGH-STREET. AN UNFORTUNATE PROSECUTRIX.—George Whenman and Charles Ellis, two lads, were charged with stealing a cloak, of the value of 505., the property of Mrs. Barbara Hendrick, dressmaker, of 51, New Compton-street, Soho. The prosecutrix appears to have been peculiarly unfortu nate, for in addition to this charge, she had a second: From her evidence it appeared that on the previous evening she went down to her washhouse and saw the prisoner Whenman come down into the yard. Thinking it suspicious, especially as she heard the street door shut to, she went up to her room, and found that the cloak, which had been lying on the bed, had been taken away, and a jacket put in its place. She then asked the prisoner Whenman's mother where he had gone, and she said only for a candle, but as he did not make his appearance she spoke to a constable, and at the end of two hours she saw him in company of the other prisoner, and gave them both in charge. Whenman said he had merely gone down to the yard for a pail of water. Parker, a constable of the F division, said on searching the prisoners he found money on both of them, although they had denied having any, and on Whenman he found two counterfeit shillings. lie wished for a remand that he might trace the cloak.—Remanded. Emily Sims Hughes, a girl lodging in the same house as the prosecutrix, was next charged with stealing several articles from the prosecutrix. It appeared that the prose cutrix had been in the habit of leaving her key with the prisoner, who lived with her mother, and that having missed a large number of articles, amongst others some silk entrusted to her to make up, she asked the prisoner if she knew anything of the property, but she denied all knowledge of it, stating that no doubt she (prosecutrix) had mislaid it, and would find it. On the following day, how ever, the prisoner's mother brought the articles, stating that her daughter had taken them, and that it was through having been in great distress, and begged she would accept them, but she declined doing so. George Chapman, F division, said the mother admitted to him that her daughter had taken the articles, but said that she did not intend to steal them, and that they were in distress at the time they were taken. Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded this prisoner also. Chapman said that the prosecutrix had lost a quantity of property, which he had no doubt had found its way to the " dolly shops" (leaving shops or unlicensed pawnbrokers), the neighbourhood abounding with them. THAMES. THE AMERICAN EAGLE AND ITS WlNGS.—Captain Rich, a rough, honest, weather-beaten mariner, of very frank address, and the master of the American ship John A. Parks, in the Victoria Docks, appeared before Mr. Yardley to answer a summons taken out by a ship-carver named Joseph Hodgson, who claimed a balance of £1 15s. for repairing the defendant's figurehead. The complainant said he agreed with the defendant to repair his figurehead for £3, and had completed the job and only received 255. of the money. The defendant—Yes, for spoiling my figurehead. Mr. Yardley—You appear to have a very good figure • head. (A laugh.) Captain Rich—Yes, my figurehead is all right and taut —(laughter)—butas to my ship's figurehead no one can tell whether it is a bird or a turtle. Mr. Yarelley—What is the matter with it? Captain Rich—He has spoiled the wings. Mr. Yardley—Wings 1 What do you mean? Captain Rich (loudly)—What do I mean ? wings (spelling the word strongly). Mr. Yardley—Thank you, I am much obliged to you, air. What is your figurehead ? Why Captain Rich—An American eagle, and the bird lost one of its:wings on my voyage here. Mr. Yardley—lndeed. I hope that is not ominous of what is going on on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean. Captain Rich—l hope not. Well, I engaged this man to carve a new wing for my eagle, and it is four inches too short and spoiled. Mr. Yardley—lt won't fly at all. Captain Rich—Fly ! No, I should think not. If such an eagle as that attempted to fly it would drop to the ground. Mr. Yardley—You mean to say it is lop-sided ? Captain Rich—lt is, and one wing is shorter than the other. I dare not go into an American port with such an eagle as that. I like my wing carved properly. The complainant insisted that the wing was properly c arved, but in this he was contradicted by another ship's carve:; who said it was too short, and that the new wing was thinner than the old one, and not artistically finished. One wing might be said to rook free and independent, like the Northern States of America, and the other was typical-- Mr. Yardley—Come, we must have no politics here. Which wing was it, Captain Rich—the starboard or larboard wing ? Captain Rich—lt was the port wing. Mr. Yardley—The port wing ? We call that the genuine bee's-wing. (Great laughter.) After some further discussion it was agreed that the de fendant should give.up the new wing to the complainant, and the summons was, on this understanding, dismissed. The Complainant—The wing is of no use to me. Mr:Yardley—That is my decision. You have spoiled the wing of the American eagle, and the captain will not go into port with such a bad specimen of the national emblem. WIND AND WEATHER REPORT.

About three weeks ago the Emperor wished to make Count Mensdorff-Pouilly Minister for Foreign Affairs ; but that nobleman declined the proffered honour and returned to Tomesvar. It is reported that Count R. Apponyi, the Austrian Ambassador at the British Court, is likely to be placed at the head of the Foreign Department ; but per sons who are acquainted with him think that he will be unwilling to quit London. The Minister of State is trying to induce Baron Doblhoff, who was a member of the Aus trian Cabinet in 1848, to accept the post of Minister of Commerce, and it is not unlikely that he will allow himself to be persuaded, although a short time ago he expressed a determination not to take office again. A grand musical festival was given yesterday at St. Paul's, in aid of the fund for defraying the expenses of purchasing the great organ, and to continue the restora tion end embellishment of the interior of the cathedral. Handel's " Messiah" was performed with great effect. Mr. Sims Reeves and Mdme. Lemmens Sherrington were the principal solo performers. The orchestra numbered 600 vocal and instrumental performers. Upwards of 4,000 persons were present. The arrangements were admirable. St. Martin's-lane has been again closed to vehicles b consequence of the road requiring repair. The number of omnibuses now using the thoroughfare is immense. The illumination of coal mines surely might be accomplished by the magnet. The development of itspower is daily increasing, one instance is Herring's magnetic brushes, &e.

Advices from Southern Italy furnish some details as to the state of affairs in the delegation of Ascoli, a province of the Papal States, on the borders of the kingdom of Naples. At the last dates the in surrection was still strong in the mountain, but the town of Ascoli was in the hands of the Pied montese, and occupied by a strong body of their troops. Some sharp combats had taken place at Acqua Santa, Mozzano, Castel Trasino, and Gia vanozzi, in which the insurgents had suffered con siderable loss. The Piedmontese had also a num ber of men. They have since received reinforce ments, and were to march in a body on the insur gents, who had rallied on several points, and kept the mountainous region. The Sardinian Govern ment displayed considerable energy in putting down these different insurrections, and appeared decided to employ extensive military means in the struggle. SPO RTING INTELLIGENCE. BETTING AT MANCHESTER-FRIDAY. The Liverpool Steeplechase has the effect of giving a little life to turf speculation, otherwise it bears every symp tom of dwindling down to a state of dormancy, without a prospect of showing activity until after the acceptances for the Spring Handicaps have been signified. For the Chase Goldsmith was supported to win near £l,OOO at 14 to 1, and the Tattler was in demand, closing at 20 to 1 taken. 100 to 7 was taken a few times about Xanthus, and Red• wing had a coming appearance. Cockatoo would have been backed for money at the rate of 100 to 3. For the Chester Cup 30 to 1 was offered on the field. Indeed, we have seen nothing during these last few days to lead us to believe that 1,000 to 30 would have been taken about either Indus trious or Chere Arnie. The disposition to bet against Dundee for the Derby is not so great as it has been during the winter months, and to-day 6 to 1 agst him was unob tainable. In other respects nothing transpired that calls for special remark.—Closing prices : GRAND NATIONAL STEEPLE CHASE. 14 to 1 agst Goldsmith (taken freely) 100 to 7 agst Xanthus (taken 100 to 6 agst Jealousy (offered) 20 to 1 agst The Tattler (taken) 25 to 1 agst Redwing (taken) 100 to 3 azst Cockatoo (taken freely) 100 to 3 agst Freshman (taken) CHESTER CUP. 30 to 1 agst Industrious (offered) 100 to 3 agst Chere Arnie (offered) 100 to 3 agst Lawyer (take 40 to 1) 100 to 3 agst Umpire (take 40 to 1) 40 to 1 agst Man-at-Arms (take 50 to 1) TWO THOUSAND GUINEAS. 6to 1 agst Kettledrum (offered) 7to 1 agst Klarikoff (offered) 10 to 1 aggt Russley (take 100 to 9) TILE DERBY. 6to 1 agst Dundee (wanted) 100 to 7 ngst Big Ben (offered) TIIIS DAY'S MARKETS.

We extract the following from a letter dated Paris, Friday evening : The reception oC the eloquent Dominican monk, Father Lacordaire, at the Academie Francaise, which I briefly alluded to in my last night's letter, merits a more ample notice. As a literary event it has had no parallel for many years. Ever since the establishment in France of a despotism which, whilst it created liberty trampled upon public elo quence and placed literature under the ban, the reception of candidates at the Academie Francaise has acquired a certain degree of political importance. Cautious and guarded as academical speeches traditionally are, the public has ever shown intense eagerness to hear and read the eloquent ad dresses, whose tributes to liberty, eloquence, and moral courage have ever been rightly interpreted as a protest against the tyranny of the regime clu silence, as a condemnation of the moral torpitude of the sycophants and renegades by whom it is supported. But for the last 10 years circumstances have never invested a reception at the Academie with the peculiar sig nificance attached to that of Father Lacordaire--a Domi nican monk, celebrated not less by his ardent faith and his matchless elequence, than by his equally boundless attach. ment to liberty, summoned to the seat vacated by the death of De Tocqueville, the champion and historian of Demo cracy, at a time when despotism and liberty combined aro dealing the death-blow to the institution of the Papacy ! Such a man, too, a fervent and yet a liberal Catholic, to be welcomed to the only society where the voice of liberty is still permitted to be raised, in subdued tones and at distant intervals, by the representative of Protestantism, by the champion of parliamentary government, by the fallen minis ter of a fallen dynasty, of a constitutional king ! Such a com bination of circumstances never yet Occurred ; and maynever again take place. You may, therefore, easily conceive the eagerness with which this day's ceremony was antici pated ; but you cannot so readily form an idea of the anxiety evinced to be present and hear the speeches from two such great masters in the art of speaking from their own lips, instead of waiting until next day's paper. The hall of the institute where the sitting took place holds 1,500 persons ; there were not less than 10,000 demands for tickets. As it was the place was crammed to suffocation, and the very space railed off for " les guarante inimortels" was trespassed upon by some ambitious crinolines. A great many ladies attended. I mentioned yesterday that the Empress honoured the ceremony with her presence ; doubtless as a mark of respect for the Church. The strange coincidence of its falling to the lot of M. Guizot, as director for the year, to hand her Majesty to her seat was much commented on ; it was, at all events, one additional pecu liarity of this extraordinary seance. Father Lacordaire wore, as is wont, his white monastic costume. Those who were not so fortunate as to hear the two great orators generally give the preference to the speech of Lacordaire. The Empress staid until the sitting was over, and, I am informed, sent for Lacordaire and complimented him on his eloquent address. Another letter says : " The reception of the Abbe Lacordaire at the Academy to-day is the all-dominating topic of interest. The Academy is itself composed of most distinguished indivi duals, who are not indisposed to mingle politics with lite riture. The Academy, as a rule, is an Opposition body. Being supposed to be always in advance of the age, it has counted amongst its illustrious forty the strongest oppo nents of the Bourbons and of the Orleanists, as it does now of the empire; only that the anti-Imperialists happen to be made up of ex-anti-Bourbonists and ex-anti-Orleanists, fancying that they are still going ahead, while in reality they are falling back. To give more piquancy to the pre sent occasion, it is the Protestant Guizot who is to re ceive with the customary eulogies the Dominican Friar iacordaire, prohibited even for one day prom wearing he costume of the Academician. The Abbe Lacordaire wears the same white robe which adorned his handsome person the day he took his seat in the Csmstituent Assembly, beside the Abbe de Lamennais, amongst the Montagnards. The political misery which makes such a strange pair of bedfellows counts, no doubt, amongst the attractions which set the Faubourg St. Germain in a struggle for tickets nine months ago. No newspaper correspondent is at the Aca demy today, unless in the disguise of a duchess in gala costume. Money would certainly not purchase a single ticket, whatevei loNe might do. We must, therefore, won der, with the simple public, What will the Protestant say to the Priest? How will the impassioned Savanarola of the days of 1848 deal with the " shy profundity" (the ex pression is De Quincy's) of his predecessor, De Tocqueville ? More consistent in speculation than in action, the profound writer upon Democracy had something to do during his timid and vacillating administration of Foreign Affairs under the Republic, with sending French Republican troops to put down the Roman Republic. Is this the bright spot the put will celebrate in a duet with another ex- Foreign Minister, who abjures spiritual sticks by political Pontificates ? Tocqueville treated Democracy as an advan cing flood, which no Canute could turn back; and he wisely counselled society, in its own interest, to purify and prepare the future ruling power by education, without stint or limit. How M. Guizot would deal with the Democracy, and how Father Lacordaire would educate it, will, we hope,. be told to the world to-morrow. NEWGATE AND LEADENHALL.

The following is an extract from a letter dated Boston, January 7 : " I send by this mail a copy of the message of our new Governor Andrew. He is the man who at a public meet ing for the relief of John Brown's family, dared to say that, whatever might be said about the rightfulness of what he did, John Brown himself was right.' This speech has been construed into an approval of what Mr. Brown did, and Mr. Andrew's election to our chief magistracy is the one thing that gives a slight colour to the pretence that the South are now acting in self-defence in anticipation of Northern aggression. It is, of course, a mere pretext, and the message, without alluding to it, is the best ar swer to it. The great slave case of Canada, it is said, will be referred to your side before giiing the man up. I hope the report about the slave is true, for if there is the slightest equit able or technical mode of avoiding it his surrender would be an eternal blot upon your escocheon. lam no lawyer, but it seems to me by the report that the two judges who condemn him are wrong, and the ono who acquits him weak and narrow, or else your treaty of extradition ought to be annulled at the earliest possible moment. You surely do not mean to give up men guilty only of political offences I If John Brown inaugurated treason and invasion with 20 men, I cannot see how you can put the crime of the slave when enforcing his freedom, whether singly or in large numbers, into any other category than that of political offences. " Give up this poor wretch as a murderer, and you mus call the next slave who escapes a thief, because he carried with him his shirt, belonging, by the Missouri laws, to his master ; and next the white fugitive from some border State who carries with him his own property which may have been adjudged forfeited to the State (with his life) for having spoken ill of the ' institution.' In short, you, like our own North, must make a stand, or you will be required to eat dirt until you rebel I " What a commentary Douglas is now giving upon the blindness of those Northern men who at one time would have pressed him upon us as a champion of Northern rights! During the election hemp and gunpowder were too slow for those who would resist the inauguration of the candidate elected by the people. Now our lion roars you as gently as - . any sucking dove, will eat without salt any words he ever said, if he can thus help to save our glorious Union, and, forsooth, does not approve of coercion towards a State I He proves conclu sively tho truth of our anticipations that, if chosen, he would have been the most supple tool of the planters, and would have vented his chivalry upon the small nations south of us whose territory his Southern masters want for the extension of the ' atea of freedom.' I will try to send you an illustrated paper (if not already sent) containing a map of Charleston harbour, with its forts—the scene of a little incident which may prove as famous in our history as Captain Clive's movement upon Arcot. Major Anderson's simple, but effective checkmate now looks like the very turning-point of our present struggle, and it has already made him the favourite of the betting-men for our great race of 1864. It has turned the traitor Floyd out of our Cabinet, braced up our old public functionaries' weak nerves, kindled the enthusiasm of the country north and south, brought General Scott and other kindred spirits into rap port with the Administration, and given us hope the other strong forts along our Southern coast may be gar risoned, and the madmen of the South held thus in checof until the 4th of March ; after which we will take them dreia. t?;:ene e can manage it them until they find the sweets of taxation .and othe r will cause a culties intrinsic to their situation, which h ni w oi l v a voice. reaction, and give the moderate party once checked, and Let the momentum of the revolutioan it will be seen to be so utterly mode hat 7 . . will bring rnm ent the stronger and we shall see our Government all right, Then a little proper force and prG conciliation will bring for o thein edea tremendouskue s (or tes t it will have been put to by the mb treason) of our rulers and mad combined energ y of our 'governing. class, the ' planters.' A friend just from, Washington te lls me that the horses have run - away w ith the drivers—the leaders are now pushed on by the mo b of poor whites, and especially of small slavebolders, who want the African slave trade re-opened, and that the property holders are in a state of terror, with their slaves on one side threatening, and their Democracy already rising up on the other. The element of safety is the awakened spirit of the North, which will now, I hope, prevent any disgraceful patching up, übder the specious guise of compromise ; and the danger, on the other hand, is from our weak President, and from a possible slave insur rection, which would call to its aid a hundred men of the John Brown stamp, and might settle the question either St. Domingo fashion, or by calling in the North to repress it and the mob at the same time. I wish you had happened to be here now to see the working of this great strain upon our machine. Among the details of the crisis are a short, grain crop at the South and a commercial panic there, against an abundant harvest North and West, It is an exciting time." THE RAGGED SCHOOL CONFERENCE. The conference of persons interested in pro moting ragged schools was continued at Birmingham yesterday. The Rev. Dr. GuTintiE moved the confirmation of the resolutions which had been passed at the confer ence in the morning. He read the resolutions seriatim, and dilated upon them at great length. There was a numerous class in our large towns who spend their mon e y w hi c h s h ou ld go to e d ucate t h e i r children, in intoxicating liquors ; and the g ran d object which ragged schools had in view was to rescue, from vice, misery, a n d cr i me i n thi s wor ld , and from ruin in the world to come, those who have such parents, or, worse, those who have none at all. Dr. Guthrie referred to the good effects produced by ragged schools in the city of Edinburgh, giving an interesting account of their operation, and related some humourous anecdotes illustrating the intelli gence of the juvenile beggars who frequented the streets before the establishment of those schools. By setting up those schools in Edinburgh they reduced the number of juvenile delinquents in the town to one-fifth of their original number, and they went to the Government for some assistance. They said to the Government, " You try to make people better by hanging them." "No, it was for these men's good that they should be hanged," was said. (Cheers and laughter.) But they (the Government) made others worse; they put them into cells to turn cranks and treadmills, they tried to make them good by the police, and they swarmed just as before, thick as bees, in spite of it. The Government had never cleared the streets nor reduced the number of gaol inmates, but ragged schools had done all this ; done what could never have been done upon the old system. (Cheers.) The Government gave much more to reformatory schools than to ragged schools. They gave much more to those who cried out for reformatories than to those who demand prevention. '1 hat might be very agreeable to their English notions, but in Scotland prevention was thought better than cure. And not only this, the Government gave £1,200,000 a-year for education, and how much of that went to the ragged schools ? "Oh ! ' some would say, "the Government is a sensible body, and your ragged schools, as fer as schools go, got an itnmense proportion." What was that proportion ? Why, they put them off with a miserable pittance of £5,000 out of this £1,200,000 to save these wretched children. They gave to every inmate of the reformatory sc h oo l s is. per day, and to every child in the ragged schools half a farthing. (Laughter.) In Edinburg h they had the greatest difficulty in getting chil dren to come to school, and unless they bridged over the gulf by bread nothing could be done. Accordingly they set up schools, The children came at seven in the morning—and came in rags—not in decent clothes, for that wouldn't do ; they would ge to the pawnshop too soon. The first thing they did was to strip, to get a delightful bath; and then a grand breakfast of porridge and milk. Then came prayers, and a portion of Scripture was read ; then the work of the school begins, and occupies four hours of the day. The children learn to read, and to write, and to cipher, and they learn carpentering, and boxmaking, and shoemaking. Why, all our girls wash their own clothes and mend them, and clean up the house, and cook their own food. Then many of the boys make the clothes for our school and mend them, and a large number of them employ their time in making various other useful articles. Then we have so many hours for play. In fact, the children were the pictures of misery before they came to the school; now there arc no children happier. (Cheers.) They come to us at half-past seven in the morning, and at half-past seven at night we take off the school dress and give them back their rags, and they go home ; and the rags are not worth the pawning. (Loud applause.) Mr. M. D. Hill, Mr. Scholefield, M.P., the Rev. Canon Miller, and others addressed the meeting, and after resolutions in favour of more extended support of ragged schools were carried, the con ference terminated. RECENT WILLS AND BEQUESTS. The will of James Lindsay Barclay, Esq., of 95, Farringdon-street, and of Dulwich-common, was proved in the London Court on the 19th of this month by the executors, Mrs. Barclay, the relict, and Mr. James Barclay Hennell, the nephew. The personal property was sworn under £35,000. Mr. Barclay, whose death was somewhat premature, being only 52 years of age at the period of his decease, which occurred on the 4th of this month at his residence at Dulwich, made his will on the 25th of March, 1854, to which he added a codicil on the 17th of April, 1856. The bequests are strictly confined to the family, with the exception of a legacy in favour of the executor. Mr. Barclay has directed his realty to be sold, and the produce to be added to his personal property ; the interest arising therefrom he has left to his relict for her life, to whom he also bequeaths his furniture, and all other effects for her own use and disposal. Mr. Barclay has left to each of his three daughters an immediate legacy of £1,000; and on the decease of his relict the whole of the property is to be divided equally amongst them. The business which has retained the name of " Barclay and Sons," Patent Medicine Warehouse, has bean carried on for many years in the same premises, originally " 95, Fleet market," and may be almost considered as one of the longest established of that kind in the metro polis. The will of Vincent Figgins, Esq., of Southgate and of West Smithfield, has been proved in the London Court of Probate by the executors—. Mrs. Figgins, the relict, and Joseph M'Crea, Esq., of Compton-terrace, Islington, surgeon—to whom probate was granted on the 21st inst., the personal property being sworn under £50,000. The will bears date March 4, 1852, and a codicil February 20, 1857. To his widow he has left a life interest in the principal part of his property, bequeathing to her an immediate legacy of £l,OOO, and a sum of £5,000 to be paid to her within twelve months from his decease. He has also bequeathed to her the shares he held in the Stationers' Com pany, together with all his furniture, plate, and other effects, carriages, &c. To his sister, Mary Figgins, and his nephew, Daniel Figgins, he leaves £3,000 each; and to his executor, Mr. M'Crea, a legacy of £250, free of legacy duty. The residue, on the decease of Mrs. Figgins, he directs to be divided into six c,qual parts amongst his three brothers and three sisters. Mr. Figgins died at the early age of 54, at Nice, in France, on the 21st of December last. He for many years represented solely the old-established business, and latterly in partnership, as Vincent and James Figgins, type founders and manufacturers of printing materials, 17 and 18, West-street, Smithfield.
