The Sun. — London, England, 1863-06-29 00:00:00

fully has Sir Walter Scott narrated the various incidents of his poem, that his dramatic action and characters have long since passed from the realms of Fancy to the domain of Fact ; and the guides, with the scrupulous accuracy of men attesting to the truth ; pointed out (and still continue to point out) the very spots where the gallant horse ex hausted fell,' and where Ellen's boat 'touched the silver strand,' and so on through all the incid. nts of the poem. And, certainly, the association of these shadowy fictions greatly enhances the charm oc a district where nature has been so prodigal in her sifts." Animated with similar feelings, many readers will gladly pay a visit (at page 227) to Ellen's Isle—" as lonely an islet jewel as was ever set upon the fair bosom of a highland lake. It is a mass of rock, thickly covered with trees, with one little bay—that which gave access to the shal op of the fair lady of the take.' As the little craggy island rises to its highest p .int in its centre, and as its trees are compactly massed together, its general outline is so perfectly oval that when the sun is shining upon its bright green foliage, it needs but a slight effort of fancy to imagine it a ♦eritaole emerald set in diamonds and silver." Tbere is a very amusing description, or rather want of descrip tion or Abbotsford. "At the end of ten minutes or a quarter of an hour," says Mr. Bede, " you emerge from a suite of rooms which are as interesting and wonderful as any of the romances of their gifted creator, and you et.deavour, it may be, to arrange your reminiscences and to question yourself as to what you have seen in those brief minutes. The task is a perfectly hopeless one"—so abundant and so multifarious are the treasures there contained. If Mr. Bede's manner is occasionally superficial and even slovenly, his book, on the whole, will be found both interest ing and amusing. CONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. More firmness is app trent to-day in the general Discount Market, 4 per cent. being the quotation for first-class bills of three months' date. There is nevertheless an impression that the rates will be much easier in the course of the next fortnight, owing to the flow of gold into the Bank of Eng land, the large arrivals of specie, and other favour able influences. The bullion operations at the Bank on Saturday comprised the influx of £41,000 in bar gold. The Shannon has arrived from the West Indies with £793,610. Accounts from the manufacturing districts for the past week have been more satisfactory. At Man chester, however, there has only been a limited business in cloths and yarns. The woollen trade at Leeds, Bradford, and Huddersfield has been more active, while symptoms of improvement have been apparent in the hosiery and lace departments of Leicester - and Nottingham. Business in the hard ware districts, viz., of Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wolverhampton, has exhibited little change of im portance. Two O'CLOCK. At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Reuter's telegram, the French 3 per Cent. Renter were at 68f. 50c.—Heavy. Further indications of buoyancy have prevailen to-day in the market for the English Funds, the business negotiated, althougo comparatively small, having comprised several purchases on speculative accouut. The situation of political affairs is looked upon with less uneasiness, and an up ward tendency is promoted by the tavourabte course of the specie movement.

Another priest has been hanged at Zomose, and several others have been thrown into the dun geons of the citadel for their patriotic sermons ; on the other hand the prisons are crowded. All classes of society are so much accustomed to those proceedings that no one is terrified. The National Government has just published the following proclamation at Warsaw :—' The Russian agents, who are having recourse to all kinds of measures to put down the insurrection, intend within the next few days to evite the people to make an armed demon stration in the capital. The National Government warns the inhabitants not 1 o be deceived by the ar tifice, but to wait with patience and resolution for the moment when the Go vernment itself shall give tho signal, The hour of deliver , ante will surely come.' " MARKETS---This Day. MARK LANE. Less firmness was ob:erved in the demand for English wheat in the country markets held on Saturday, and in order to effect sales, factors were compelled to accept is per quarter less money. The spring corn trade ruled inactive, and prices had a downward tendency. Flour was a limited request on former terms. Advices from New York state that good and prime %heats were in fair export demand ; but that other articles sold heavily for the home and eastern trades On the Con tinent very little change has taken place in the value of produce. The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week were very moderate. The imports from abroad amounted to 20,505 quarters of wheat, 1,810 barley, 20.781 oats, 1,526 peas, 11,846 linseed, 5,766 oilseeds, 20 maize, 2,600 sundry seeds, 620 sacks, and 5,467 barrels of flour. Over 6,000 were taken for export. _ _ Fresh up to our market this morning a small supply of English wheat was received, in fair condition. Owing to the fineness of the weather, the favourable accounts respect ing the crops, and the falling off of the export demand, the trade was in a sluggish state, both for red and white qualities, and last Monday's quotations were barely sup pot ted ; indeed, in some instances prices declined a per qt-. The market was well supplied with foreign wheat, and there was a large show of Dan zic produce on the stands. All descriptions were in slow request, and the quotations had a downward tendency. There was less doing in floating cargoes of grain at pre vious rates. The supply of barley—both English and foreign—was very moderate. The demand, hiwever, was by no means active, yet prices were supported. In malt a very moderate business was transacted on for mer terms. The supply of oats was large. The trade for all descrip tions was in a sluggish state, yA no quotable change took place in prices. The quality of the foreign supply was mostly interior, and transactions took place at very low prices. Although the supply of beans on offer was very mode rate, the demand ruled inactive on former terms. Peas were in small supply but slow request, at late rates. In the flour trade there was no activity. Prices, however, ruled stationary. There was a fair supply of barrels on offer. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE. There was a full average supply of foreign stock on offer in to-d y's market, in somewhat improved condition. Sales progressed slowly, at about stationary prices. '1 he receipts of beasts fresh up from our own grazing districts were seasonably good, but those from Scotland were limited. Ireland, however, forwarded an increased number. The general quality of stock was very middling. Good and prime breeds moved off steadily, and last Mon • day's advance in quotations was supported. Otherwise, the demand was in a sluggish state, at the reduction sub mitted to on Thursday. The highest quotation for beef was 5s 2d ; but some very good animals sold at 5s per Blb rom Norfolk, Suff lk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we received 1,800 Scots, short-horns, and crosses; from other parts of England, including Lincolnshire, 1,000 various breeds; from Scotland, 80 Scots and crosses; and from Ireland, 130 oxen and heifers. The snow of sheep was only moderate, but its quality was prime. Nearly all breeds moved off freely at prices equal to this day se'nnight. The best - .

LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day. VICE CHANCELLORS' COURT. BOIJCICAULT V. DELAFIELD. Mr. Boucicault applied for an injunction to Vice-Chan cellor Sir Page Wood this morning against Mr. Delafield, the manager of the Queen's Theatre, at Manchester, to re strain him from performing the Colleen Bawn. After hearing counsel his lordship reserved judgment. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. (Before Chief Justice Cockburn and a SpEck' Jury.) MORRISON V. BELCHER -LIBEL. This was an action brought by Mr. Richard James Mor rison, lieutenant in the Royal Navy, ag.inst the defendant, Admiral Sir E. Belcher, for writing and publishing a de famatory libel, to which the defendant pleaded as a justifi cation that the statement was in substance true. Mr. Sergeant Shee and Mr. Gr,ffiths appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Sergeant Ballantine for the defendant. Mr. Sergeant Shee said the plaintiff was a lieutenant in the Royal Navy, and having distinguished himself in his profession temporarily retired from the service, and became a student of astronomy, and, amongst other things, of astrology. He also was the editor and proprietor of Zaakiel's Almanack, which had obtained an enormous circulation and great notoriety in consequence of his hav ing predicted the death of the Prince Consort. Alderman Humphrey having made some particular observations upon the statement in Zadkiel's Almanack, the circumstance was commented on in a leading article of one of the daily papers, and afterwards a letter, signed " Anti-Humbug," and which was of a most scurrilous nature, appeared in the same journal, and he should be able to prove that the writer of it was the defendant. The letter, after making some very severe comments, went on to inquire who was Zadkiel, and whether there was no means of terretting him out and handing him over' to the magistrate at Bow-street as a rogue and vagabond The writer said he thougat he could help him to obtain the desired information, and he thought he had seen his signature as the president of some particular society—via , R. J. Morrison. That he was also the celebrated Crystal Globe seer, the particular virtues of which were, that by its aid communications with the spirits of the departed might be made, and that ne had even gone the length of saying that communications had been had with the spirits of the twelve apostles. That hehad engaged theservice of a boy through whom hetn.ed to act, but the boy had "peached" and thus the whole affair had been exposed—in fact, said the learned counsel, amounting to an assertion that my client was an unprincipled impostor. He then went on to describe the virtues of the " Crystal Globe," in which visions were stated to have been seen, and said the mysteri ous " crystal" in the possession of the plaintiff was pur chased at the sale of the effects of the late Lady Blessing ton, and very shortly after, a boy, after looking at it some time, stated that he had seen visions, and also after that, a young 'man named Usher, not only said he had seen similar scenes, but had actually drawn representations of toe things he had seen in the " Crystal." Now his client, Mr. Morrison, never for one moment pretended that he had seen visions su c h a s were described, but his son having seen something which he said was con nected with the Arctic expedition, Lady Franklin desired the "crystal" might be brought to her, and from the pub licity given to the scene seen by young Morrison it became quite the rage in the fa.hionable world. Peers, bishops. ladies of the highest position, .11 were anxisas to watch the crystal. So great, became the pressure upon Mr. Mor risan that he was compelled to leave town, and he (Sergeant Shee) should be able to produce letters written by persons of the highest posiion to Mr. Morrison, all asking for a view of the crystal. Although an attempt might be made to draw the attention of the jury from the point before them, art action for the recovery of damages far a malicious libel b} invoiving them in tome sort of inquiry into the science of the stars, he felt satisfied that after Sir E. Belcher having refused to make the apology his client required, they would give him such damages as would prove he was not the unprincipled impostor the defendant said he was. The following witnesses were then called : Mr. John Smith, the manager of the Daily Telegraph the paper in which the letter appeared,and another witness, gave evidence relative to the publication and handwriting. Richard James Morrison, the plaintiff, was examined by Sergeant Shoe, and eaid— I am now a commander in OE Royal Nagy. I have studied in astronomy and as. trology, and have published several works of that nature. I am also the proprietor and publisher of " Zadkiel's Almanack." It contains predictions founceo upon astronomical contingencies. I have found those pre dictions mostly true after 40 years' experience. In. 1861, there was in the Almanack a peculiar prediction relative to the death of the Prince Consort. Lord Chief Justice—The voice of the stars, page 13, is that it ? The Learned Counsel—Yes, my lord. He then read tho passage in question, which went ,n to say that there would be weeping in high places, and also gave various predictions affecting the late Prince Consort and the Prince of Wales. Examination continued.—Alderman Humphrey made some comments upon the prediction, and then I became aware of the publication of the letter signed "Anti Hum bug." I had read about the crystals and had see' them, and I bought the one in my possession of a curiosity dealer. I set it upon the table before my son, and he immediately saw visions relating to the expedition of Sir J. Franklin. A young gentleman named Usher also saw them. I sent a statement of the affair to the ..ef thonceum, which was pub lished. The "Crystal" was here produced. The witness continued—The publication produced a great excitement. I received numbers of letters from the nobility asking for a sight of the crystal ball. Lady Erroll and others wrote tome. hold their letters in my hand. I never received any money for exhibiting the ball. I never tutored either of the boys to say they had seen visions in the " Crystal." It is untrue that £5 was given to my son to tell some lady of the doings of her son in America. I never knew it until I saw it in the Telegraph. I have freely lent the " Crystal" to friends. I left it more often than I remedned with it. I believe a female servant of Sir E. B. Lytton's, a Swiss, looked into it. She said she saw Sir H. Bulwer lying ill under a tree. It was in a foreign place. I was afterwards in formed that Sir H. Bulwer was sick in a place of the nature the servant described. I first met Sir E. Belcher at an evening party at Colonel and Mrs. Mertan's. He intro duced me to Lori and Lady Lonadale. He did not show any aversion to me. I never stated I had seen visions in the "globe," but the young persons did and that quite openly. Baron Brunnow, Admiral Fitzclarence, the Coun tess of Errol, the Marchioness of Aylesbury, the Bishop of Lictfield, Colonel Phipps, the Hon. Mr. Cowper, M.P., and a great many other persons of distinction came to look at the Crystal. - I had as many as eight ladies of distinction in my house at once. I produce a number of drawings made by the young man Usher of the visions he saw. I e olemnly believe he did see them, as it is impossible he could have imagined suoh things as he described. Cross-examined by Sergeant Ballantine—Some of the drawings have been published in Zadkiel's almanacks. The female figure in the drawing is that of Eve. That is, the spirit said she was when asked her name. (Laughter.) The spirits appeared with ecrolls coming out of their mouths. Sergeant Ballantine—As if they had been taken sud denly ill ? Witness—The spirits were always respectably dressed. (Laughter.) They had all their drapery displayed in the drawings. The lady you now direct my attention to is Queen Mab, as she appeared in her car drawn by gnats. (Laughter) The male is a representation of St. Lake. I don't believe all Usher has said. The Lord Chief Justice—You don't believe what Usher has said ? _ _ Witness—No, my lord, because he bas said some of the things disclosed were false. I believe be saw Eve. Sergeant Ballantine—What language did Eve speak? (Laughter.) Witness—English. (Laughter.) Sergeant Ballantine—And Orion, what language did he use ? Witress—Englieh. Sergeant Ballantine—And Titania. Witness—All English. 1 still advertise I have persons who see visions in the Crystal Ball. I have heard that a vision of the Lord's Supper has appeared in the Crystal Ball, also some of the miracles of our Saviour, the feeding of the multitude with five loaves and two fishes, and out Saviour walking upon the water, and two or three of the apostles. . Sirgeaut Ballantine—The stars took you in a bit last year, did they not? (Laughter.) You prophesied the death of Lord Broug ham, did you not? Witness—l never prophecy ; I predict. None can pro phecy but those that have the spirit of God, and that I don't presume to have. Sergeant Ballantine—Well, you predict. Witness—And the public can believe or not as they feel disposed. I have made some predictions about Lord Palmerston, but without perfect data I cannot undertake to give perfect predictions. • Samuel Smith, the person who advertises about casting nativities, lives in Goswell-street. He 'has an advertisement in the Almanack, and the address given there is at Brompton. I have never taken in letter a there except on one or two occa sions addressed to " Samuel Smith, Esq." He receives letters for the sale of my books. The Lord Chief Justice—Then when Samuel Smith re ceives applications from persons whose mind is distressed, do you answer the letters ? Witness—Sometimes. Sergeant Ballantine —Do you meant° say that you have not made " calculation" for wealthy persons as late as 1862 ? Witness—Yes, I have—a few. Sergeant Bal antine—And received the money through Samuel Smith. I have given instructions in astrolJgy to some persons, but never to very young people. The crystal ball I bought I believe belonged to the celebrated Dr. Dee. I was told so. I have no means of knowing for certain. Sergeant Ballantine—Who was the seer who had the conversation with Judas Iscariot? Witness—My son, I believe. Set geant Ballantine—And the answer you published was the one you received ? Witness—Yes. Sergeant Ballantine—And Sulas Iscariot preferred get ing back to a certain place rather than remaining with you in the globe. (Laughter.) I hope you had a cool room fur him? (Loud laughter.) The Crystal Globe was then handed to the jury for exa mination. It appeared to be a ball of Brazilian pebble ; about 4i inches in aiameter. _._ The official examination of the son of the plaintiff, now resident at New York, was then put in and real. It was to the effect that he had seen visions in the globe as described, hat he had never received from a lady for telling her what he had seen relative to her son, who was then in the Mediterranean. Lady Harry Vane—The letter put into my hand is one I wrote relative t ,, seeing the crystal. It was in consequence of something I had heard from my father, the late Earl Stanhope. I went with two friends, but met others there. I saw the ball ; a little boy looked into it. He said he saw a great many things, but I cannot recollect how many. Neither I nor my friends paid anything to Lieut. Morrison for seeing. Cross-examined—Lord Effingham was of the party. It was at Mr. Morrison's own house that the exhibition took place. The Master of the Temple, Rev. Mr. Robinson said—l saw the Crystal Globe wire, once at my own house, and once at Sir J. Cockburn's. The plaintiff was present. The boy Usher looked in. He said he saw figures and writing. I asked him what he saw by putting one or two questions to him, and asked on one occ stun it he saw my son, who was then in Jamaica. He described him and his wife sitting in chairs in the garden. He could not identity his son by the description. Ho merely said it was a clergyman and a lady. The ball was brought to my house at my own request. I never paid any money for it being brought there. The Bishop of Lichfield said—l was present at my son in-law's house when the ball was to be exhibited. I saw it. I had not the least reason in the world to believe that money was paid for the exhibition. Lady Egerton of Tatton—The letter put in my hand is written by me. I went to see the Crystal Ball ; some gen tlemen were of the party. A boy looked in the ball. When I asked him how many guardian angels I had, he said " seven." (Laughter.) I said that was a large number — (laughter)—but the ' boy said most persons had sour. (Laughter.) I was most courteously received, and I never paid any money for seeing the ball. The Marchioness of Aylesbury said—l saw the Crystal Ball at Mrs. Merton's. Several persons were present. The ball was looked into by a boy. Cross-examined—l did not make any inquiries relative to the " ball." I thought it such nonsense. Ido not attend voluntarily to-day. I was subpoenaed. The Rev. George Stokes—l knew the boy Usher and the son of Mr. Morrison. They were both pupils of mine. Mr. Morrison's wife was my daughter . I thought Mr. Mor rison was deceived as to what he thought about the ball. Cross-examined—Mr. Morrison professed that young persons saw visions in the ball, and I am certain he believed they did. I did not allow other boys beside Usher to look into the ball. lam sure none others went. Mr. Fulham Webster—l am a director of the New River Company, and reside in Berkshire. After 1 had seen the ball I wrote the letter put into my hand, request ing that my friends might see it. When I saw it a boy was looking, and he said he saw a number of things. in answer to questions put to him. I benatne acquainted with Mr Morrison through friends. I paid no mJney for seeing the Crystal. Cross-examined—The first time I went wag with a lady, 4nd the second time Mr. Reynolds was with me I was not so happy as to receive a great q ismtity of guardian angels. I believe one of the questions asked was where Sweden borg was to be found ? The Earl of Wilton said—l went to see the ball at Col Merton's, at Brompton. I think a boy looked at the globe No money was paid for the privilege of looking at it. Cross-examined —l did not receive any caution for my future guidance. (Laughter.) Mrs. Ann Merton—l am the widow of Colonel Merton. I requested Mr. Morrison to bring the Crys al Ball to my house. On the first occasion it was shown to friends of mine. There was a large party. A young lady and gentleman looked into the ball, and were asked questions as to what they saw. The ball was brought to my house five or six times. Sir E. Belcher was present on two or three occasions. I don't recollect whether he was there the first time the ball was brought. 1 recollect Sir Edward asking roe to get Mr. Morrison to bring the ball. The ball was brought and examined by Sir Edward's friends. Sir Edward did not ask any questions about it. Nothing was paid, nor was any money given for the ball being brought. Cross-examined—lt was an evening party. I first met Mr. Morrison at the Rev. Mr. Stokes'. He kept a school. Young Usher used to come from the school to look at the globe. The Chief Justice—The ball was brought for amuse ment, and not for the purpose of prying into secrets of the past ? Witness—No, purely for scientific amusement. Mrs. Hoseason—l am the wife of Captain Hoseason, of the Royal Navy—l first saw the crystal ball at High Beach. I was intimately stc4uainted withyoung Usher. He was the son of Admiral Usher. I have seen another young lad and Mr. Morrison's Eon look into the globe. I did not think young Usher was speaking the truth when he was describing what he saw in the ball. No money was ever paid for exhibiting the crystal, Mr. Charles leut—l am a member:of the Bar, and the Proprietor and Editor of The Sun newspaper. 1 know the plaintiff very well. I recollect seeing the crystal ball seve ral years ago. It was at No. 1 Park-lane the ball was ex hibited. There were altogether four persons present, amongst whom was Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton. A servant looked into the ball, and after gazing at it some time, she said she saw a man apparently either dying or deed, with his eyes closed and lying down. She said she saw a very curious tree, and described a house with a number of turrets. It appeared to me to resemble Kneb worth-park, with which the girl's description corresponded and The girl had never be en there. I gave n o money, heard no mention of any being given. I don't believe any was given. Cross-examined —The house in Park-lane was Sir ward Edd Lytton's. Lieut. Morr ison, Sir Edward, myself, domestic servant were present. The servant, after looking some time at the ball, described Sir Ed ward's country house. S ergea nt Shee--Although she had never been there P Witness—Yes. Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton—l recollect seeing the ball exhibited at my house. It was seen by a domestic servant, whom I had engaged abroad as cook. Sne looked in the glass, and described a p lace like my house in the country, but she might have seen pictures of it. I don't think any thing remarkable occurred after looking at the glass, or I should certainly have made a note of it. Mr. Morrison was introduced to me by a gentleman of very high attainments, and the highest honour, a great friend of wine, Mr. Kent. No money was paid for the exhibition of the ball most certainly. Mrs. Allen—l looked at the ball on one occasion. saw the reflection of my mother with a child in her arms in it. Tho ball became cloudy, but on clearing both the figures disappeared. On another occasion I saw a man in armour, and altogether a scene of the most singular and mysterious nature. I shall never forget it as long as I live. Cross-examined—There could be no mistake about what I saw. I refuse to look on the crystal in court, because I consider it too solemn a thing to be laughed at. (Leughter.) Miss Mary White said—l have on two occasions seen scenes in the Crystal On the first occasion I saw a Swiss scene, with the snow fal!ing, and on the other a ruined abb y. By the Chief Justice—l have never been in Switzerland, and I suppose the scenery I saw to be Swiss from pictures I may have seen. This closed the case fur the plaintiff. _ _ _ Mr. Sergeant Shoe then addressed the jury for the plaintiff, and said the defendant had altogether failed to show that his client (Lieutenant Morrison) was the gross impostor he said he was, and that being the case it became their duty to find a verdict in his favour. The learned gentleman made some very severe remarks upon the conduct of Sir Edward Bel cher, and said although he had the spirit to write an anony mous libel, he had not the courage to get into the witness box, and attempt to prove the truth of his assertion. Sergeant Ballantiue then addressed the jury for the de f-ndant, anu in the course of his remarks he commented very severely upon the plaintiff, and said he would not insult the good sense of the jury by imagining for one moment that they would give a verdict unfavourable to his client (Sir E. Belcher), a gentleman who had passed so m any years of his life iu endeavouring to add to the stock of knowledge his countrymen possessed. The Lord Chief Justice, in summing up the evidence, said before they could fiad a verdict for defendant they must be of opinion that the facts stated in the libel were true, and that the plaintiff exhbited the ball, knowing it was an imposture, and that he did it in order to get money. Now, as far as the latter part of the defence was concerned, there could be no doubt that the charge of exhibiting the ball for gain had altogether failed, and although they might laugh at the plaintiff for believing in the revelations made by the bo)s looking in the crystal, this cc•uld not say he was an impostor. With respect to the publication of " Zadkiel's Almanack," the matter became altogether of a very different nature, because he could not help remarking that the publication of a volume of such a nature laid the party doing so open to very severe criticism. He thought there was a great deal in it of what was preposterous and mischievous, and an author imbued with the peculiarities of Zadkiel must expect to meet strictures of a not very pleasant nature. But then, even under such circumstances, those comments must be within the bounds of fair and honest criticism. They had heard the terms in which the author of the Almanack had been stigmatised, and they therefore would have to say how far he had suffered from those observations. The jury then retired. At 5 o'clock the jury returned into court with a verdict for the plaintiff. Damages— twenty shillings. Mr. Griffiths, the Junior counsel for the plaintiff, asked his lordship to give a certificate The Chief Justice—lt is better to leave the verdict to take its own effect, I think. FOREIGN BUFFET.

GREY said that the bill V 4 as not ready, and he was afraid could not be introduced in time to pass this session. THE CIRCUITS AND INCREASE OF JUDGES. In answer to Mr. HADFIELD, The ATTORNEY- GEIN ERAL said that no commission was sitting on the subject, and no reports were therefore expected. It was not in the present contemplation of the Government to propose any increase in the number of judges, but it was hoped that by certain changes the present judges would be enabled to administer justice without being unduly taxed. With regard to the circuits, some change seemed desirable, but they could not be effected without the consent of Parliament. A bill on the subject was in pre paration, and would be brought forward in the present ses sion if there was any reasonable prospect of passing it into law. HUDSON'S BAY COMPANY AND THE INTER NATIONAL CUEDIT COMPANY. In answer to Mr. MILLS, Mr. FOB,TESQUE said the Government had no infor mation on the subject beyond what had appeared in the pub lic papers, but his noble fric-nd at the head of the Colonial office had received an intimation that he would be put in possession of complete information in reference to the mat ter before Thursday Lest, when he would make a statement on British North America. In 1856 the legal advisers ot the Government were ot opinion that the company had legal possession of a certain portion of the territories, and when the present litigation had terminated it would be for the Government to consider what course they would adopt. POLAND.—THE REPLY OF THE EMPEROR OF RUSSIA. _ - Mr. HENNESSY asked the Under Secretary for Foreign Affairs whether any communication had Iken re ceived from St. Petersburg in reference to the recent despatch of Earl Russells? Mr. LAYARD—AII I can say is, that to the best of my knowledge the despatches from England and France have been received at St. Petersburg and presented, but I am not aware that any answer has yet been received in this country. PUBLIC WORKS (MANUFACTURING DIS TRICTS) BILL. _ _ On the order of the day being read for considering this bill as amended, Mr. BENTINCK said he wished to have replies to ques- tions which he had put on a former occasion to the Presi dent of the Poor Law Board, but which he had not answered, viz., whether the money proposed to be advanced would be advanced on a perfectly good security; whether the distress in the manufacturin ,, districts was not caused as much by over trading as by the i want of cotton ; and thirdly, whether the present measure would afford permanent relief for the existing distress, or whether he anticipated coming again to Parliament for further assistance or resorting to emigration ? kr. FERRAND would also like to know who would be responsible, if the distress extended during the ensuing winter, and was not provided for ? (LEFT SPEAKING.) POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. OUTRAGEOUS CONDUCT AT THE SEREENTINE.—AIichaeI Mahon, a rough-looking fellow, living in Gray's-buildings, Marylebone, was charged betore Mr. Tyrwhitt with being concerned with another not in custody, in unlawfully pos sessing a boat, the property of Mr. Butcher and others, at th e Serpentine, Hyde park. George Wakeford, one of the boatmen of the Royal Humane Society's Receiving-house, Hyde-park, said Yesterday morning, about 20 minutes to 5 I was called by the superintendent, and went to the Serpentine. I saw the prisoner and another lad get into a boat about a quarter of a mile off, and which had been taken from its moorings. I got into another boat, and rowed after the prisoner, and on coming up with the boat the prisoner and the other lad were in, I towed it ashore. Part of the boat had been broken, and also one of the sculls the prisoner had been using. On asking the prisoner what business he had with the boat, he said he had fallen into the water, and then got into the boat. ➢ir. Tyrwhitt.—Had the prisoner and his companion damaged the boat? Witness.--I have no doubt of it, as it was all right when left at its moorings. There was also a large quantity o f flowers at the bottom of the boat, which had no doubt been taken from Kensington Gardens. Similar conduct was pursued by some lads on the previous Sunday who like the prisoner had got into the park about three o'clock, two hours before the gates were opened, at five o'clock. Nathaniel Arthur, park constable, No. 26, said—l saw the prisoner in the act of rowing, and on being called by the last witness went to his assistance and took the prisoner into custody, the other lad escaping. The prisoner said he had fallen into the water and got into the boat to save himself. Mr. Williams, superintendent of the Royal Humane Society, who was not sworn, said—The worst part of this case, your worship, is that the persons who took the boat away from its moorings also took a pair of sculls belonging to the Royal Humane Society, and had there been an accident it would have been a serious thing, as a boat could not have put off. Yesterday morning I was awakened by loud yelling from a number of lads, and at first thought there had been some accident. I have also to complain of a most intolerable nuisance arising from a number of prosti tutes of the lowest description sleeping in a shed at nights near the Reyal Humane Society's receiving house, and there singing filthy songs at the tops of their voices, to the annoyance of myself and family, and that of my neighbour, who lives in the cottage close by, and who has been dan gerously ill for some time past. The nuisance has lately become so bad that we can get no rest. Prisoner—l went with some other lads, and one of my companions fell into the water, and I took him in and was rowing him ashore when the boatman came up. Mr. Tyrwhitt—You are one of these mischievous fellows who do all sorts of mischief, and when you are caught must be punished. The prisoner was then committed for six weeks with hard labour. WESTMINSTER. VIOLENT AND DESPERATE ASSAULT ON THE POLICE. —lsaac Russell, who is well known to the police by his assaults upon constables, was charged before Mr. Selfe with the following desperate assault on police constables : It appeared, from the evidence, that in the course of the previous Saturday afternoon the prisoner was at the Goat, in the Fulham-road, where he was causing a great distur bance. He was asked to leave, but would not. Soon after some one put him out, upon which, as he was causing a disturbance, Policeman V 402 requested him to go away. Instead of doing so he ktruck the officer, and after a struggle succeeded in fl,nging him down. While on the pavement he kicked the constable and tore his trousers. Prisoner also bit him in the thumb. V 108 and V 382 went to the constable's assistance. They were also vio lently assaulted by the prisoner, and one of them was bitten by the prisoner. After a severe struggle the prisoner was eventually overpowered, and it required the exera.ions of four policemen to take him to the station-house. Mr. Selle asked if the prisoner was known ? Inspector Taunton, A Division, stated that he had once been charged with a highway robbery, and he had keen convicted for assault on the police. The prisoner was sent for two months to the House of Correction, with hard labour. CHARGE OF SHOPLIFTING.—John Patteson, a respect ably dressed man, was charged with shoplifting, under the following circumstances : It appeared that on Saturday afternoon the prisoner, who was in the company of a female, went into the ehop, 522, Qucen's.road, Chelsea, and asked to look at some silk hand kerchiefs. They were shown some, and after looking at them went away. As soon as they were gone the assistant missed a parcel containing gloves. Tne assistant fcllowed them, and overtook the male prisoner. The female pri soner came up and gave the missed parcel to another female, each of whom escaped. The male prisoner was taken to the station-house. The prisoner was remanded to Saturday next. SPORTING NOTES. The racing of last week has not affected any of the events to be decided this. The Cumberland Plate has only one thorough good horse engaged in ft, and that is Caller Ou. But, with her penalty, lam afraid it would be asking too much of her to give so much weight to Joey Jones, who showed last week in the Queen's Guineas that he had re turned to his three-year-old form. If any demonstration should be made in favour of Judea, I would stand on him alone; but, as his owner may not send him so far north, I s h a ll trust to Joey Jones and Honest JohyT Castle srnhteowpoultelaeks, and esert ho through.
