COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL. Yesterday a Court was held for the despatch of public business. A great portion of the day was consumed in the appointment of the various committees of the Court. -- - - SOUTHWARK BRIDGE. Mr. R. C. BucKNALL brought up the following re port, and moved that it be entered on the journals of the Court. " TO THE RIGHT HON. THE LORD MAYOR, ALDERMEN, AND COMMONS OF THE CITY OF LONDON IN COMMON COUNCIL ASSEMBLED. " We, whose names are hereunto subscribed, your Committee for letting the Bridge-house Estates, to whom, on the 27th day of October last, it was referred to ascertain by professional inquiry, the strength and durability of Southwark-bridge, and to continue . the negotiations with the directors of the Southwark -bridge Company for the purchase thereof, do certify that we appointed a deputation to confer with the directors, with the view of continuing the negotiation for the pur chase of the bridge ; and the deputation have since re ported that they held a conference with the directors accordingly, when they stated that they would recom mend the proprietors to sell the bridge f or the sum of 300,0001., which they considered was the lowest sum the proprietors would be induced to take, an t e rectors could not pledge themselves that the proprietors would now accept that sum, as ma ny of them were strongly impressed with the opinion that the bridge must be purchased for the use of the public, and that a larger price might be ultimately obtained. And the directors stated that they could not allow the income derived from the bridge to be in any way taken as a basis upon which to estimate the amou nt to be paid for the pur chase thereof. The deputation further reported that they were informed by the directo rs that a surve y and examina tion of the bridge had been recently made by Mr. Rennie, civil engineer, who had reported that the same, toge ther with the foundations and abutments thereof, were in a perfectly sound condition. We, your Com m itt ee , having fully and ma turel y considered the subject, have thought it right to report the above circ ums t ances to your i hon. Court before we incur the expen se o f employ ing professional gentlemen to make a su rve y an d exami nation of the bridge, in 9rder to ascertain the strength and durability thereof. All whi c h we su b m i t to t h e judgment of this hon. Court.—Dated this 20th day of December, 1853. "R. C. BUCKNALL, " J. DAVITS, " J. WATERLOW, " T. JOYCE, " R. CHAPLIN, " D. SALOMONS." "T. DAKIN, Deputy PEWTRESS concluded that they had not car ried out the instructions of the Court in respect to the resolution submitted to them, and that the Court were now as ignorant with regard to the matter as they were before the reference. It was utterly impossible for the Court to form a plain and satisfactory estimate as to the amount asked for the bridge until it had been clearly ascertained that the structure was capable of accom plishing the purpose for which it had been erected. The report had not the sanction of the chairman, and, al though it had that of th e comm itt ee , it w as only by a majority of one, very considerable difference of opinion existing among them. If the statements which had been made with regar d t o th e cos t o f a new b ri d ge an d its approaches were correct, it would be impossible fo r the corporation and the public to obtain facilities equal to those now presented for two or three times the amount asked for Southwark-bridge. A new bridge and its approaches would cost not less than 1,000,000 1 . sterling. (Hear, hear.) He therefore thought the Court ought to come to the conclusion that the price asked for Southwark-bridge was fair and moderate. Alderman SALOMONS said the purchase of the bridge appeared to him to be the best plan for relieving the crowded condition of the city. Before, however, the corporation agreed to give anything for it, they ought to ascertain, through their own engineer, whether it was worth anything. He therefore moved as an amend ment—" That the report be referred back to the com mittee, to ascertain by professional inquiry the state of Southwark-bridge, with reference to its strength and durability, and to report the same to this court." Deputy HARRISON, in seconding the amendment, said he had a great deal of doubt, from information he had received from others, as to the stability of the structure. Deputy CORDER suggested that an interview should be sought with the Government, with a view to ascer tain if they would assist the Court in the contemplated purchase. Deputy DAKIN thought the committee had acted with very great discretion in bringing up the report. He thought the committee had acted very wisely in coming back to the court to state exactly the views of the direc tors of the bridge with regard to the price to be paid in the event of the corporation becoming purchasers. (Hear.) Tho,e gentlemen had informed the committee that Mr. George Rennie, their engineer, had within the last six weeks examined, at their request and cost, the state of the piers and abutment,, and had reported them to be in as sound and perfect a state as when the bridge was first built. And there was likewise the report of Sir R. Stephenson and others upon the same point. Mr. ANDERTON said, if the Court wished unneces sarily to incur an expenditure of 7001. or 8001., they would pass the amendment. He thought 300,0001. much too large a sum to be paid for the bridge. Mr. GRESHAM .If the Court wish for the bridge, let them get an act of Parliament, and summon a jury to assess the amount at which they shall have it. Mr. ELLIOTT hoped the amendment would be carried, in order that the Court might show their anxiety for affording increased accommodation to the traffic of the city. Alderman WILSON—I think it the duty of the Court to refer the report back for further inquiry. The ques tion is, whether the structure is equal to carry the traffic of London-bridge. lam satisfied it is not. The direc tors formerly asked 190,0001. for Southwark-bridge. They now talk of 300,0001., thinking you cannot do without it. Rather than give this sum I would build another bridge. (Hear, hear.) It is one of those at tempts to extort money which I think the corporation ought to resist. (Hear, hear.) - The LORD MAYOR having put the motion, declared it to be negatived. The amendment now became a substantive motion. Mr. HAWKINS moved as an amendment the addition of the following words to the motion :—" That the Bridge-house Committee having reported that the minimum, price required by the directors of the South wark-bridge is 300,0001., it is the opinion of this Court that they cannot further negotiate those terms." Deputy DAKIN seconded the amendment. The Court divided, when there appeared— For the motion 33 For the amendment 26 Majority in favour of the motion Deputy HARRISON presented a petition from the Com mittee of the City of London Hospital for Diseases of the Chest, praying for a grant in aid of their funds. The petition was referred to the Coal, Corn, and Finance Committee to examine and report. ASSOCIATION FOR THE RELIEF OF THE POOR OF THE CITY OF LONDON. Alderman WILSON presented a petition from the as sociation, praying fox- pecuniary assistance. The petition was unanimously referred to the Coal, Corn, and Finance Committee to examine and report. Deputy HOLT moved,--" That the sum of 10,0001. of this city's cash be placed at the disposal •f the Commis sioners of Sewers of this city, to aid them in the improve ment they are enabled to effect under the several acts of Parliament, which give them the power to deal with the property of our fellow-citizens." Carried and ordered. METROPOLITAN COMMISSION OF SEWERS. Yesterday a special court was held at the Court-house, Greek-street, Soho, R. Jebb, Esq., in the chair. The aommisioners present were S. Baker, Esq., T. Hawes, Esq., Sir C. Fellowes, and Colonel Dawson. The state ment of accounts showed an available balance in hand on Jan. 14, amounting to 44,028/. The churchwardens of the parish of West Hackney attended on behalf of the inhabitants of the parish situate to the north of the North London Railway to appeal against the district sewers rate of 6d. in the pound made over Hackney-brook-level in December last. The appeal presented stated that the inhabitants had paid sewers rates rates for 80 years, and that those rates had on some occasions amounted to ls. 6d. in the pound, but that notwithstanding the heavy amount thus contributed, they had no sewers within their district, and had never received any benefit from the operations of the commissioners ' • but, on the contrary, they had been seriously injured by the conversion of the natural watercourse at Hackney-brook into an open sewer for the benefit of the district of Holloway. The appellants, therefore, submitted that it was unjust to be rated equally with the H ackney - brook-level, which was drained in a far superior manner. Mr. DENNY (surgeon to the West Hackney Die en- N ary) stated that it was his duty to att en d to a very large number of people in the district, that there were always a great number of cases, and on an average there were 200 severe cases of typhus fever in twelve months, and almost every case was traceable to the state of the ditches. The whole district was intersected by these ditches, and at the back of the dispensary there were several of them, and he was confident that the general bad state of health of the inhabitants was attributable t o them. Colonel DAWSON said the powers given to them last year by Parliament would enable them, he hoped, be fore the present year, to remove the evils complained of. They could not listen to the appeal, because if they did not receive rates how could they make sewers ? The CHAIRMAN said he did not see any ground that would enable them to listen to the prayer of the peti tioners, because if they rated one part they must rate the whole of it. It would be acting illegally if they attempted to make a district rate upon the Hackney brook level to the exclusion of any part of it. A very light rate was imposed upon that district, and until the Legislature gave them power to impose higher rates, they would not be enabled to construct covered sewers. At present the open brook or ditch was the only outlet, but the commissioners, who had long been anxious to construct another and a better sewer , had only now rece i ved from Parliament the pow er to do so, which would alleviate the ev il s co mplained of. That sewer would extend for several miles, and would not cost less than 300,000/. ; but nntil that outlet were made it was impossible to help them. Mr. Law had complained that he had con structed a drain at his own expense, but by the act of Parliament he was bound to do it, or die commissioners had power to compel him, therefore he had only done what they could have compelled him to do. He moved that the petition be dismissed. Colonel DAwSON made a few remarks, and the petition was accordingly dismissed. Several other appeals of but little importance were hen heard, and the court then adjourned. THE COAL TRADE.

THE "SPRITE" MOVEMENT. There is one innovation of the last dozen years that we have seen gradually ramifying and extending throug,!i our Christmas entertainments with a suspicious dread, akin to horror, of the consequences. It is the introduc tion of a boneless monster called "a sprite" into our old jolly English pantomime, against which we deem it only proper to protest. Is there no patriotic, pen-and-ink loving "Father of a Family" That will undertake to write down the " Sprite Nuisance" in a series of letters Have we not among us a play-going " Paterfamilias" that will head an epistolary crusade to deliver the stage from these posturing usurpers ? Every year the evil is growing greater and more difficult of correction. The time has been when a plain somersault would have been sufficient to have provoked a tributary round of ap plause ; but now nothing less than a man turning him self almost literally inside out will awaken the blunted enthusiasm of an audience growing every year more horribly familiar with these annual distortions. Under the stimulus of professional rivalry, and knowing that their engagement for the next year depends upon their excelling all their unnatural achievements in the past, the "Bounding Bricks-of Babylon," or "the cele brated contortionists of Circassia," have to devise during the summer more and more daring deeds for the coining winter. They must present more puzzling combinations of figures than a railway share list, they must bend them selves into more eccentric forms than could be found in a sheet of Chinese hieroglyphics. The somersaults, trebled this year, must be quadrupled in the next, and so forth, according to the rigid rules of gymnastic, as well as geometrical, progression. But it is not for the " professors" themselves that we fear ; it is the dread of a great epidemic of posturing that may be even now spreading itself through the land, whilst we are scarcely conscious of the danger. We do not complain of a man bending his body into a semicircle, if that be the only way he knows to obtain for it the requisite sustenance. We do not object to a father in red tights and spangled jacket building up a pyramid of his sons upon his shoulders, if he find that to be the only method he can adopt of supporting his family. But we do object to the practice on purely national and domestic grounds, as all, conscious of the strong imita tive powers of children, are aware, that they may be led to follow those objectionable examples of human elasticity that are placed so impressively before them. We have already seen symptoms of the impending dan ger in those revolving urchins, who, during the last two or three summers have been observed exposing all their " looped and windowed raggedness" in a series of wheel like movements, after the omnibuses and their passen gers, pelted with mud from the one, and with halfpence from the other. St. James's may be as likely to catch the infection as St. Giles's. The aristocratic party of juveniles in the private box yonder, will enter with as much zest into the art of tying their little legs into knots round their necks, as that group of open-mouthed, un washed urchins, clinging with eager hands to the rail in the front row of the gallery above. The nursery of Belgravia, we have reason to believe, is already surrep titiously turned into a training school for performing precocious feats of flexibility. Fancy the possibility of this predilection for posturing growing with their growth and strengthening with their strength. Imagine that rosy-cheeked schoolboy of nine years old now devouring every new combination of joints with insatiable eager ness, growing up into the bank cler and balancing his ledgers in a manner unrecognised l mercantile usage. Picture the possibility, a quarter of a century hence, of finding the junior partners of our great commercial firms walking on their hands about the office as an agreeable relaxation for leisure moments ; or conceive the rich city stockbroker, whose autograph on a slip of paper endows it with wondrous virtues, retiring at dusk to his Clapham villa, and, extended horizontally on the rug, tossing his children vertically into the air after the fashion taught by Professor Risley, and afterwards making a Chinese puzzle of his head and shoulders as a mere customary provocative for his Six o'clock dinner. The past generation was stigmatised as a " nation of shopkeepers," the next generation may be characterised as a "nation of sprites." We are not alarmists, but the public should be prepared for the worst. The remedy is in their own hands, and we i have only satisfied our conscience by indicating the source and magnitude of the danger.—The Empire. DEATH 0111 A CENTENARIAN.—Died at Great Bentley on the 10th inst., James London, aged 10.0 years. Th e deceased, who completed his 100 t h year in August last, preserved to the last a beautiful head of hair of " raven blackness, with scarcely a tinge of " t ell-tale g ra y ." CLYDE CUSTOMS.- —The Glasgow customs revenue for the year ending sth of January, 1854, was 688,6021., showing an increase on last year of 35,3191. The customs receipts at Greenock exhibit a decrease,in 185, of 3,07 7 i. During the last year 43 ships entered the Clyde more than in 1852, yielding an increase over that year of 7,349 tons. TEE JESUITS IN CHlNA.—Chateaubriand, in his Geniu s o f C hristianity, " while observ i ng on theim pulse given to th e prose l yt i s i ng exer ti ons of the Roman Catholic Church in the latter half of the fifteenth cen tury, when a vit a l i mpulse had been given to it s d or mant energies by the first development of Protestantism, fine l y says, of the missionaries of that period, " Seas, tempests, polar ice, tropical heats —nothing arrests them : they live with the Esquimaux upon the flesh of seals ; they support themselves with oil in the company of the Greenlanders ; they roam with the Tartar and ' the Iroquois over immense solitudes, mount the Arab's dromedary, pursue the . Kaffir roving i n th e h ear t of scorching deserts ; the Chinese, the J a p anese , th e In dian, become their neophytes : no island, no rock in the ocean escapes their zeal ; and as formerly, when no more kingdoms could be found to administer to th e am biti on of Alexander, so a field is wanting for the exercise of their charity." About six leagues from Canton, on the coast of China, is an island, small, but remarkable from the touching recollections it recals ; for it was on this island of Sancian, or Shang-chuan-ehan, that Francis Xavier, the founder of the Jesuits, breathed his last, almost within sight of that China he had so vainly sighed to reach ; but his efforts to attain whose shores were ' defeated by the machinations of the merchants of Macao, who dreaded lest persecution, following the attempts of the apostle of India and Japan to convert the Chinese to Christianity, might interfere with their gain.—Orr's I " Christianity in China."

IN RE AN ATTORNEY. Mr. Millard moved for a rule to strike an attorney off the rolls on the ground that he had obtained 501. from a person named Cartwright by false representations with regard to the progress of a suit in Chancery, which suit, as it was aftewards ascertained, had in fact never existed. He also moved on the ground of the miscon duct of the attorney in two other transactions in which he had been engaged. The court granted a rule nisi. INSTITUTION OF CIVIL ENGINEERS. 1 NA VA LIN T ELLIGENC E. - -0- --• JANUARY 17.— JAMES SIMPSON, ESQ., PRESIDENT, IN THE CHAIR.— The discussion was renewed on Mr. Harrison's paper " On the Drainage of the District South of the Thames." After reviewing the objections to the proposed main sewer of eight feet diameter, and its tri butaries, or feeders, it was explained that the general dimensions had not been assumed as fixed, but only as data to argue upon ; the practical area, as well as the ultimate direction, remaining to be settled by more care ful investig ation. It might be preferable to construct two paralll sewers, to be used and cleansed by flushing, or otherwise, alternately, or used for fecal matter, or for rain water alternately. As to cleansing, it waq ob jested that the velocity of 11 miles per hour would be insufficient, and a scouring power of three miles per hour was demanded by one authority, whilst another stated that a sewer constructed on a - dead level, on ac count of the difficulty of obtaining outfall, was effectually flushed by having gates at intervals of 1,600 feet. At Eton, the main sower was stated to be horizontal, but having a good supply of water constantly running through it, no deposit occurred. The quantity •f water that could be brought to bear on the Lambeth main sewer being unlimited, and used at each tide, it was argued that the velocity of 1i miles per hour would suffice to keep it clear. The plan of the double reservoirs for the discharge of the sewage into the Thames would obviate any objec- tions. One reservoir would be filled at low water to that level, from the river, ready to receive the sewage ; the other would be filled with the sewage to a height of two feet to six feet above that level ; into this latter, as the tide rose, the water would be admitted, the gates at the upper end being closed ; at the turn of the tide, the lower gates being opened, the contents of the reser voir Would be permitted to flow freely out, carrying away the whole of the sewage matter accumulated during the past 121- hours, and commencing its exit at the turn of the top of the tide, the matter would never return with in half a mile of the spot whence it started. The capacity of the reservoirs being regulated accordingly, there would be no objection to discharging at low water, in cases of heavy rain, as then both reservoirs would be used simul taneously for receiving the well-diluted sewage. Even admitting certain valid objections to a flushing system, it was agreed to be more simple, and quite as effect tual as the pumping system, whilst it was decidedly more economical and less liable to derangement. Allu sion was made to the present comparative levels of the river Thames and the Lambeth district, and it was sug gested whether the bed of the Thames, like that of the Mississippi, the Po, the Arno, and other streams, had not been artificially raised by alluvial deposit ; and if so, whether a certain extent of embanking of the shores, so as to restrict the channel, without too much reducing the area for flood waters, would not deepen the centre, and afford a better outfall for the sewers at any given point. Instances of the employment of the liquid sewage for agricultural purposes were mentioned, and it was urged that the introduction of water supply for habita tions should always be folio wed by utilising sewage from them, and that thus a valuable interchange might be established. To this it was replied that the comparative value of the rental of agricultural land, and of th a t o f the same area covered with buildings, would show that no parallel existed betwe •n the water supply to houses and that of pumping liquid manure for agricultural purposes, and that the schemes for that purpose were, with few exceptions, fallacious. As to the general question of the drainage of London, it was argued that, with a good system of intercepting sewers, the gravitation plan could be adopted, for the upper districts, on both sides of the river, and on the north side the whole sewage might be so disposed of ; but on the south sicle, on account of the deficiency of fall, it would probably be necessary to re sort to a system of pumping the low sewerage, at some point, say at Deptford Creek, and there lifting it to such a height as to give the requisite fall from thence, by a sewer, into reservoirs, as proposed by Mr. Harrison, whence the matter should be delivered into the river, without any deodorising, at a point low down, at the first turn of the tide from high water, so as to preclude the possibility of any pollution of the stream above the point of the admission of the sewage. It was contended, that the same skill by which steam power was enabled to be continuously used for long sea voyages, could preclude any but very remote chance of casualty from a derange ment of the pumping apparatus, and that in the cases of excessive rainfall, flooding might he prevented by per mitting th, present outfalls into the river to be used. As to the general question of deodorising, it was argued that, like the employment of the diluted sewage for agricultural purposes, the schemes might be feasible for small towns, but that the immense quarftity proceeding from such an area of houses as in London, appeared to preclude the general adoption of the system. Up to the present time it appeared that all the plans proposed for the drainage of the southern district were defective in providing capacity of main sewers, for conveying away the excessive rainfall, the amount of which were quoted to the meeting from returns supplied from re turns supplied from the Royal Observatory at Green wich. It was shown that at present, when a heavy rainfall occurred simultaneously with a high tide, the districts by the York-road and along the river side down to Bermondsey and lower down, were flooded from the river which flowed over the surface and down the gullies into the rivers, whence it flooded the houses. Therefore, a greater pumping power would be required than had been mentioned, if the habi tations were to be guaranteed from casualty, as they should be under a new and expensive system. It was contended that the outfall should be extended even below Greenwich, as any system of sewerage for the southern districts should he permanent, and allow for any amount of extension of buildings to the eastward. It was hoped that the facts elicited by the discussion would be found serviceable in determining the ultimate system to be adopted, and that special care would be taken to avoid the fallacies which, it was contended, had been promul gated in some of the documents emanating, " by au thority," from the General Board of Health ; paracu larly in the " Minutes of information, collected with reference to works fit for the removal of soil water, or drainage of dwelling-houses, public edifices, &c." (1852). Numerous errors, both of theory and practice, contained in these documents, were pointed out ; and it was con tended that they set at nought all the received laws of hydraulics, the formulae of De Boat and other experi menters of acknowledged scientific skill, and even the " Principia" of Newton, and only substituted fallacies for those rules which had hitherto formed the basis of the best practice. The tendency of such publications was contended to be very mischievous, and it was incumbent on practiCal engineers to furnish an antidote, by a careful examination of the published statements and an exposition of the errors ; this was undertaken to be done, and was promised to be laid before an early meeting of the institution. Specimens were exhibited of Mr. Aus tin's perforated bricks and blocks, with dovetailed joints, for straight work and for circular oval culverts ; their merit was stated to consist in imparting great strength and solidity to the work, with the parallel joints, using less mortar or cement, and enabling great speed to be employed in laying the blocks. The larger perforations were stated to be intended for ventilation, for channels for warmed air, or for passing holding-down belts, where the bricks were used instead of stone, for masses to re sist, impact, or strain. A simple and effective trough, with a cover, for containing the underground wires of the electric telegraph, was also on the table, and in the ante-room there were several ingenious sewer-grate traps, and other accessories for sewerage works, the invention of Mr. Austin and of Mr. Jennings. LIVERPOOL POULTRY SHOW.—The first annual ex hibition of poultry opened at Lucas's Carriage Re pository, Liverpool, on Tuesday. Although as regards numbers, the Birmingham show was greater than the Liverpool, the opinion is generally expressed that the present excels it in quality. The birds were placed in double tiers, securing an avenue for pro menade. There were 1,300 fowls entered for show, contri buted from all parts of the country, amongst which may be mentioned Captain Hornby's black Spanish fowls, Mr. Gilbert W. Moss's bantams, Mr. Worra's celebrated Rouen ducks (which have obtained seven first-class medals), and the equally celebrated Cochin fowls of Messrs. Stowe and C. Ransom. The judges of the fowls were Mr. Bailey, of Mount-street, London, and Mr. Hewitt, of Birmingham, who are stated to be the first judges in England of this peculiar branch. A PLEASANT LOOK OUT !—After two or three months in the Black Sea, and two or three days of warm weather, our fleets will be functi officio by having blown the Rus sian armaments out of water, and her seaports into the mud ; at which Russia will laugh, as she has no com merce of her own. And with such a small body of troops as we shall be able to spare—we only had fifty thou sand in the Peninsular campaign—in order to keep up our part of war we shall have to recur to the old plan of subsidising other nations Turkey, Austria, and Prussia. And, as before, every year their armies will wait the arrival of the subsidy from England before they take the field to fight in what will substantially be their own quarrel. And having once got into the war, we shall have to go through with it at all costs, lest what has been done already may have been in vain, or that the Turks should say we have deserted them.—Russia in the Right ; Or, The Other Side of the Turkish Question — by J.Moseley.

Being of the same colour as the skin, it is not perceptible ; it enables deaf persons to hear distinctly at church and at public as semblies ; the unpleasant sensation of singing noises in the ears is entirely removed ; and it affords all the assist ance that possibly could be desired.-39, Albemarle-street, Piccadilly.

LIABILITY OF THE PILOT SERVICE.—In the Liver pool County Court, on Tuesday, Joseph Pollock, Esq., (judge), delivered judgment upon the case of the Dock Trustees against Messrs. Brown, Shipley, and Co., agents for the Collins line of American steamers, for damage done to the Bell Beacon, caused by the United States mail steam-ship Baltic coming into collision with it on the 16th April last, while in charge of a pilot, which sank it, and the action was brought to recover the cost of raising and repairing it. The application was ground ed upon the statement that the speed at which she was going was 121 knots an hour--- too great a rate of speed for a vessel so large as the Baltic entering a river, while the defence was that having placed the vessel in the hands of a licensed pilot, according to the act of Parlia ment, the owners of the ship were relieved of further responsibility. This latter view was concurred in by Mr. Pollock, who gave his decision for the defendants with out costs. His Honour also delivered judgment in the cases of " Fairclough v. Bond," and " Marshall v. Pater son," both for damages by collision -in the former of which the verdict was for the defendants with costs, and the latter with costs for the plaintiff.

WOOD.-CERTIORARI. It this case a rule nisi had been obtained for a certio rari to remove into this court an order of a magistrate to execute a warrant of a distress upon the goods of George Stanley, dated Ist of June, 1853, to enforce the pay ment of 221., the arrears of a highway rate with the costs. The Court of Quarter Sessions of Staffordshire had upon appeal allowed the rule against Stanley, and it was to enforce this order that the defendant had issued his war rant. Mr. Pashley now showed cause against the rule, on the ground that the proper remedy against the magis trate was by an action of trespass for an unlawful dis tress, and that a warrant of this description was not re moveable by certiorari. Mr. Scotland, in support of the rule, contended that no action would lie against a magistrate for any proceed ings which had not first been quashed either on appeal or by certiorari, under the 11th or 12th Vict., c. 44, sec. 2. Lord Campbell was of opinion that there was sufficient ground for questioning the validity of the warrant, and therefore the certiorari must go, and they would consi der hereafter whether the warrant was valid or invalid. Mr. Pashley would not then be exclnded from arguing that a certiorari would not lie. The important ques tion would be, whether the order unquashed would be answer to an action against a magistrate. Rule absolute for a certiorari. EX PARTE LATHOM.-CERTIORARI.-THE RECENT COLLI SION ON THE EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY. Mr. Palmer moved for a certiorari directed to Mr. Crisp, commanding him, as the coroner for the county of Norfolk, to return to this court the depositions taken by him upon an inquisition on the bodies of three per sons, named Hampton, Stevenson, and Smith, at a sta tion on the Eastern Counties Railway, on the 7th inst.; and also for a rule nisi to admit to bail one John Lothom, against whom the coroner's inquest had returned a ver dict of manslaughter. The case arose out of the recent collision on the Eastern Counties Railway. Lord Campbell asked what was imputed to the de fendant ? Mr. Palmer said it was carelessness in driving on to a line on which he ought not to have driven. Mr. Justice Coleridge said the application ought to have been made at chambers. Lord Campbell said it must be understood that an ap plication of this kind could and ought to be made to a judge at chambers ; but in this instance, for the sake of the liberty of the subject, the court would grant a rule, cause to be shown at chambers. Rule nisi. THE QUEEN V. MYERS.-CERTIORARI.-ALLEGED MAN SLAUGHTER. Mr. Huddlestone moved for a rule for a certiorar to bring up the depositions in the case, and to admit the prisoner to bail. The learned counsel said he had already applied to Mr. Justice Erle at chambers, when the learned judge had given him leave to apply to the full court. The defendant on whose behalf he applied, had been committed by the magistrates for a burglary, which it was alleged lie had committed at Leighton Buzzard, in November last, when property was stolen to the value of 8001. from the shop of a watchmaker and jeweller. The only point against the defendant was that a short time after the burglary had been committed he had offered some of the property which had been stolen for sale, but he explained this circumstance by stating that he had offered the property to a tradesman to whom he was well known, and had re- fused to take less that 71. the Nr market price for it. The defendant also stated that he would be able to call three respectable persons who could prove that he had obtained possession of the property in an open and proper manner. Mr. Justice Erle said that when there was a proba bility of conviction, and the offence was transportable, he thought it his duty always to refuse bail. Lord Campbell asked if these three respectable per sons hid made an affidavit. Mr. Huddleston replied that they had not. The affi davit on which he made the application set forth that the defendant was subject to illness, which would be much aggravated by confinement. Mr. Justice Erle—You ought to mention to the court that that illness is indigestion. (Laughter.) The court refused to grant the rule. (Before Vice-Chancellor Kindersley.) WELLESLEY V. WELLESLEY:-MORNINGTON V. MORNING TON.---PRACTICE. A. motion was made in this case for liberty to enrol a decree, notwithstanding the time fixed by the orders of August, 1852, had expired. By these orders power was reserved to the court to extend the time for enrolment under special circumstances. Mr. Freehng, in support of the application, said that a sale had taken place, under the Incumbered Estate Act, of Lord Mornington's Irish estates, and that the object of getting the decree enrolled was, that it might have priority as a charge upon those estates. There appearing to be no opposition, The Vice-Chancellor made the order. (Before Vice-Chancellor Sir John Stuart.) IN RE THE NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN CONNECTING RAILWAY COMPANY-IN RE MERCER. Mr. Mercer having been applied to to admit his signa ture to a deed, had declined to make the admission, upon which a summons, granted by the Master under the 63d section of the Winding-up Act, 1848, requiring Mr. Mercer to appear and give evidence before him, was served on Mr. Mercer personally. That gentleman made default in obeying the summons ; the default was certified by the Master. Mr. Roxburgh now moved that Mr. Mercer might be committed to the Queen's Bench Prison, according to the provisions of the 63d section, upon notice given to Mr. Mercer. He admitted that no travelling expenses had been tendered to Mr. Mercer. The 63d section authorised the Master " to summon before him any per son whether a contributory of such company or not," and to examine every such person, and then concludes with enacting, as the penalty of disobedienne, committal to the Queen's Prison. The provision is general ; but section 64 provides that every person who shall be sum moned before the Master "as a witness sh;ll be entitled to such costs and charges as are by law allowed 'to wit nesses," but it proceeds to enact that " where any per son who at the time of the order absolute was a contri butory of such company shall be summoned as aforesaid, every such person shall have such costs and charges only (if any) as the Master, in his discretion, shall think fit ; and the section concludes with the following general proviso : "But in all such cases the Master may sus pend the payment of such costs until such time as he shall think reasonable." Mr. Mercer having been slim moned as a contributory, was not entitled to have any costs tendered to him, and he is liable to be committed. Mr. Daniel and Mr. Hetherington, for Mr. Mercer, were not called on. The Vice-Chancellor said the question was one of great importance, because on the one hand his decision might throw on the official manager the burthen of ten dering his expenses to the parties summoned before the Master, whilst, on the other hand, the liberty of the in dividual was endangered. The 64th section related first to the case of a mere witness, and, secondly, to that of a contributory, or alleged contributory. Mr. Roxburgh's contention was that every alleged contributory came within the second branch of the clause, but he was of opinion that until liability as a contributory had been determined the individual summoned was in the more favourable situation of being a witness, and when a wit ness lived at a distance, and was required to undertake a journey, his travelling expenses must be tendered to him with the subpoena, or he could not be compelled to attend. The other costs and charges of a witness were not given to him until afterwards, and the court must hold that the words costs and charges in she latter part of the section included only such costs and charges as the witness would be entitled to after he had attended in that character. In the present case an individual had been summoned as a contributory, and had refused to attend, and the question now raised was not as to what costs or charges he is to be entitled to, but whether a contributory contending that he was only a witness was entitled to have his travelling expenses tendered to him. His Honour thought Mr. Mercer was entitled to have such expenses tendered to him. The motion must be refused, and the costs of Mr. Mercer and of the official manager be paid out of the estate. ;3 SPRING CIRCUITS OF THE JUDGES.

ERECTION OF THE STATUE OF RICHARD CCEUR LION, IN PALACE -YARD.—Yesterday the equestrian statue of Richird Cceur de Lion, which attracted se much attention and a d m i ra ti on a t t h e G reat E x h i bit i on of 1851, by Baron Macotti, was raised on the temporal pedestal erected in Palace-yard, immediately facing th e entrance to Westminster-hall, in the presence of a lan e concourse of spectators. From the colossal proportion s of the statue it was necessary to employ a great numbe r of workmen, as also the erection of enormous triangula r shears and windlass, by means of which the heavy par tions were raised, the minor proportions being solir rately raised an d pl ace d i n t h e i r proper positions, w ith' any accide n t. Th e erect i on o f the statue is only temporary, for the purpose of trying its effect and bar; mony with the New Palace of Westminster, the site 3 v present proposed. It is, however, well known that the statue is only the model of one to be cast in bronze, subscription to the extent of 4,0001. baying been r aised for its purchase and the casting, the site for its erection being left at the disposal of the Government. S ir Charles Barry is, however, understood to object to th e statue being rais e d on th e spot contemplated, as it vi1..11 interfere with th e h armony an d e ff ect of the gene r' architecture of the place, but more particularly with the screen to be erected in front of Westminster-hall.
