LAW INTELLIGENCE.---This Day, SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr Under-Sheriff Burchall and a Jury), STANFORD V. RANDFORD. The plaintiff was formerly a member of the Corps of Commissionaires, of which the defendant is the sergeant major. He had brought an action for assault and false im prisonment, which being undefended, came to-day before the court for the assesement of damages. Mr Best appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr Wood for the defendant. From the opening speech of the le arned counsel for the p'aintiff, afterwa r ds supported by evidence , it appe ared that Stanford had had considerable difficulty in settlement of his claim upon Captain Walter, obtaining a t h e znanagcr of the corps, for services rendered as a member of the band. On the 19. h January last he insisted on being papa, when the defendant, taking offence it was supposed at the persistence of the plaintiff, rushed at him and attempted to take from him by force a euphonium which Stanford was in the habit of playing. It was not disputed that this musical instrument was the property of Captain Walter, and had been entrusted to Stanford, in whose sole posses sion it had remained for several months, and who paid a stipulated sum for its hire, as well as for the use of the two suits of uniform supplied to him. Stanford demurred to deliver up the instrument until he was paid, whereupon a police-constable was sent for, and the officer declining to obey Handford's command to take it forcibly from the plaintiff, who, at the time, believed he had a lien upon it, was then ordered by Handford to take the plaintiff into custody, on a charge of stealing the musical instrument in question. He was accordingly conveyed from the barracks of the corps, in the Strand, to the police-station, in Bow-street, Hand ford accompanying the police-constable in charge of the plaintiff. On the case being stated to the inspector, that officer at once ordered the dicharge of the plaintiff on the ground that there was no pretence for charging him with felony. The euphonium and the clothes were afterwards given up, but the plaintiff had failed to obtain payment of what was due to him. It was alleged as an aggravation that the defendant went to the office of the Vintage Wine Company, where the plaintiff was engaged, and sought to deprive him of his employment. Mr. Beat urged that the character of his client, extending over 25 years good con duct in the army, and in the police force, ought not to have been endangered by such arbitrary and illegal conduct, and the learned counsel eloquently demanded redress. Mr. Wood having addressed the jury in mitigation of damages, The Learned Under-Sheriff said it was most important that people should distinguish between cases calling for cri minal proceedings and those requiring civil process. He had heard in this case of a sergeant-major and his superior officer', but although this corps appeared to have some thing like a military organisation, he believed it was not regu l ar ly censtituted or legally recognised by the autho rities, but was a society mutually agreeing among them- selves, The jury returned a verdict: for the plaintiff, damages £lO. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr Commissioner (Uoulburli..) IN RR RICHARDS. This bankrupt was a carpenter, of Mile-end Old Tom, and this was an application for release from custody. Mr Sargood, on behalf of the trustees of a lady named Hamilton, opposed on the ground that the bankrupt had put the detaining creditors to a very large expense in consequence of his having seized and taken possession of certain property. The leases of the property had fallen in, and the bankrupt, acting as the agent of two females who had set up a claim proceeded to collect the rents, and was charged be fore the magistrate and fined, but that had no efiect, for the bankrupt continued his proceedings, and on the case being again heard the question of title was raised, and the trustees were compelled to bring an action to recover the property, and a verdict was given against him. The trustees had been put to £4OO expense, and the bankrupt was liable for £lBO costs. Mr Sargood asked that the release should stand over until after the choice of asssignees. The release was therefore refused. IN RE ESTCOURT. This bankrupt was a barrister at the Isle of Wight, and this was a meeting for laa examination and discharge, whioh was adjourned till November next by consent. Mr Cannon's behalf, and called a witness—Mr Porter, of 2, Tavistock-street—who gave evidence which did not mate rially affect the evidence of the other witnesses. Howley—l have spat blood all night, and have two hand kerchiefs saturated with it. Mr John Powdrell, of 46, Great Marlborough-street, M.R.C.S., said I have examined Howley,and do not think there is any danger from the injury he has received. Mr Knox—A more brutal and dastardly act 1 never heard of. You (Mr Cannon) a man of enormous strength, knock down and kick the waiter, who is a mere boy and scarcely half your size. I will not send you to prison, which pro bably would have the result of ruining you for life, but I shall inflict the highest penalty upon you that the law allows, believing that the publicity the affair will obtain will fix upon you a stain you will not get over for many a long nay. You will have to pay £5, or be committed for a month with hard labour. I am sorry that lam not enabled by law to give the waiter some compensation. Yhe floe was paid. A WILD Buy's CAREER,--John Williams, a short thick-set iY,)y, was charged before Mr Knox with stealing a pair of boots itPra a bautruaker in the Tottenham-court road. The case was proved against the boy, who all the while he was in the dock grinneti, and seemod rather pleased at his position. Mr Knox asked him if he had any parents ? The boy said he had no mother, and his father was in America. _ _ Mr Knox ordered Barns, the gaoler of the court, to make inquiries of the boy as to his history, and Barns after wards reported that the boy had informed him that he had been in prison at Maidstone, Holloway, Wandsworth, Coldbath-fields, and elsewhere for robberies, and that he was anxious to go to sea. The boy said lie had to steal for:a living, as he was not allowed to beg. Mr Knox--The boylwas to be pii ied, for, as he stated if he begged he was locked up and he had no means of living. h h e i m ea foraimeout w hoi month, with hard labour ; and p go to sea, and came thehe was u m sinc ere when i t tOf h tprison, he would see what co uld be done for him. The boy seemed mu ch p le ased at the result. it He should courtrct reallyo w m NEW RIILE. His Honour said h€; .-- nustlayClown a rule not to hear applications or other matters before those on the list had been disposed of, and it would be desirable to take the un opposed cases each hour before the opposed cases, and that would relieve many persons from further attendance. This course was adopted this morning, and certainly afforded considerable relief. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. BOW-STREET. A stupid looking boy, about 17 years of age, who was, or affected to be, deaf and dumb, was charged with stealing a pocket-book from the person of George Power. As the prisoner u hen spoken to presented a dogged silence and seemed not to hoar a word of what was said to him, he was put back, while the constable fetched a person ac quainted with the finger alphabet to interpret. On the arrival of the interpreter he was instructed to ask the prisoner his name, and put the question by means of the usual sign, making them very slowly and distinctly. The prisoner, however, by a shake of the head and a wavy of the hand, indicated willingly enough that he did not understand. The interpreter—He pretends not to understand. Mr Vaughan—Then do you think that he really does understand ? The interpretor—lf he is deaf and dumb he must under stand, for he could not supply his most ordinary wants without some such mode of communication. Mr Yaugh-m—Perhaps he is mute of malice. Prisoner, you have pretended not to understand what is said to you in words, and now you either do not understand, or pretend not to understand, tho alphabet used by the dumb. I must assume that yt,u have some means of communication, and I shall proceed with the case, and the evidence shall be given in the natural language. George Power deponed that about three o'clock this morning he was sitting on a bench in the mall in St James's Park. The prisoner was sitting beside him. Witness hav ing felt something touch his coat, put his hand in his pocket, and missed his pooket-book. A hole had been cut in the pocket. He accused the prisoner of robbing him, when the prisoner pointed along the mall, and indicated by gesture that some person had ran away. He therefore detained the prisoner until a constable came up and took him into custody. In the meantime the prisoner struggled violently, and witness was obliged to throw him down. The prisoner kicked him about the legs, bit him in the i cheek, and pulled out a handful of his whiskers. Police•constable Kirby, 100 A, deposed that he found the prosecutor and the prisoner struggling on the ground, and took the prisoner into custody. On searching him at the station house, the purse was found concealed in the leg of his trousers. It was identified by the prosecutor, who valued it at 2s. It contained nothing but memoranda. Tho Interpreter said he thought he could convoy the evidence to the prisoner by gesticulation. Mr Vaughan thought it was unnecessary, and addressing the prisoner the magistrate said,—Whether you stand "mute of malice," or whether you really can not under stand, is more than I can tell, but there is sufficient doubt to satisfy M 6 that I ought not to dispose of this case. I will send you for trial, and leave it to a jury to decide. As a matter of form I will admister the oath. This was done, and the prisoner, who still remained mute, whether of malice or otherwise, was committed for trial. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. AN AUCTIONEER CHARGED WITH A SERIOUS ASSAULT. —Mr Edward W. Cannon, auctioneer and house agent, of No. 4, Hart-street, Bloomsbury-square, was charged before Mr Knox with violently assaulting Alfred Howley, a young man employed as a waiter at Mr Gilbert's oyster rooms, No. 5, Oxford-street. Mr E. Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, appeared for the prisoner. Alfred Howley said—Last night Mr Cannon's servant brought back a lobster, objecting to it, and asked for the money to be returned. This was refused, and Mr Cannon then brought it bank himself and created a great disturb• ante, calling in so me loose women who were about. I put my hand on hie arum to put him out of the shop when he knocked me down and kicked] me in the chest. I had requested him several times to leave. Mr Knox—Was Mr Cannon drunk or sober ? Howley—He was sober, and all I did was to put my hand on his arm to get him out. By Mr Lewis—l refused to return the money for the lobster, because it was not all there, The shop is next door to the Oxford Music Hall. About a dozen women were in the place. 1 did not take asp a knife and look at Mr Cannon. My mistress took the knife I had been using off the coun ter and wont into the parlour. When I put my hand on Mr Cannon I had not a knife in it. There were several persons present at the time. Wm. Good, also in the employ of Mr Gilbert, said—Mr Cannon came in last night and caused a great disturbance, and a crowd collecte I round the shop. He would not leave, and Howley put his hand on his arm, and then Mr Cannon knocked Howley down and kicked him in the chest. By Mr Lewis—Howley had no knife in his hand when he approached Mr Cannon. The knife was taken away and put in the parlour, but that was because Mr Cannon said he would knife Howley. I do not know whether the knife was taken into the parlour to prevent complainant using it. Joseph Newington, a young man, who was passing at the time, said—l saw Mr Cannon in the shop showing a lobster to everyboby, and complaining about not getting his money returned. I saw Howley knocked down and kicked. By Mr Lewis—Howley had not got a knife in his hand. William Moorcroft, 165 E—l was called to the shop, and there was a great disturbance. I saw Mr Cannon knock down Howley, and then kick him. Mr Cannon had been drinking, and wanted to g've the waiter in charge. By Mr Lewis—Mr Cannon said Hawley had a knife in bis hand, but I saw none. Mr lavas mit/rased the magistrate at some length in WESTMINSTER. A. DANGEROUS RESOLVE.--A very respectable old woman in appearance came to Mr Arnold this morning, and solicited protection because she went in great fear. Mr Arnold Of whom have you to complain ? Applicant —My own son, who behaves very wrongly. He lives with me, and he don't knock me about as some sons do, but he abuses me and brings a horrible woman home with him to my house. I want you to keep her away. Mr Arnold--I cannot interfere. Applicant—Dear me, you don't say so I y ou mus t . Mr Arnold—Must! That's all very well, but I can't. Applicant—But lam sure you can, She is such a hor rible woman. Mr Arnold—How horrible ? Applicant—Why, she gees about the house quite— without her clothes, your worship, and uses the most hor rible threats. Mr Arnold—What are the threats ? Applicant—She not only goes about as I have described, but she says all manner of shocking things about me, and declares she will set the house on fire. A police sergeant stood forward and said that he did not think that the old lady's fears . were with out groun d s. Th e woman of whom shg comp.amed was a very low, indolent person, not at all unlikely :o carry her threat of setting the house on fire into execution. She e was s een i n th e h ouse in question,which was in Merrnaul's-yard, Ch e l sea, wa lki ng about in a state of nudity. Applicant added that she h a& str uck her twice, and that she was terrified to go in and out of the hou se w hil e s h e was there. Mr. Arnold said that theperson complained of seemed to be a most dangerous and violent person, and he should th e refore issue a warrant for her immediate apprehension. THAMES. TIM SCHOOLMASTER AND HIS CANE.--A respectable woman, named spencer, co mplained to M r P age t, th a t th e under-master of the Stepney Meeting School had severely flogged her son, a rather delicate boy, 10 years old. The man's name was M'Naught. He had severely punished her boy seven weeks ago, but she overlooked that, believing that if her boy would not learn his lessons he must be cor rected. A more severe punishment, coupled with the fact that others had complained of APATaught, induced her to appeal to the magistrate. In answer to the magistrate, as to the nature of the school, she said that she paid 4d per week, and that the school adjoined and was connected with the Stepney Meeting Rouse, attended by a congregation of independents. Mr Paget—A congregation of Dissenters ? Spencer--Yee, sir. M r p a iet—Very good, let me see the boy's back. The ais d bared the back of the child and exhibited we aid blue mulls on it. Arld on the upper a mother an black part of his arm. Mr Paget—What was that done with? The boy—A cane, sir. Mr Paget—A severe caning, certainly. The boy having arranged his dress and covered his back, the magistrate said no real injury had been done, and advised the mother not to get her boy into the notion that her boy had been very ill used. The boy's head and loins had not been touched. If that had been done, be would have interfered. He should not grant a summons in this case. He hoped this Mr Isl`Naught would exercise a little discretion in the administration of punish ment to boys of tender years. The mother of the buy seemed a little disappointed at the result of her application, and as she loft the court said if her boy was ill-used again in a similar manner, she would take the law into her own hands. LIBERALITY TO DESERTING WIDOW.—Mr Paget handed to our reporter 2t; Sovereigns for the poor deaf and dumb widow Erurna Finney, whose husband, a tailor, and t: th a cwn and e k m ill a e g d iet b r y et a e fire by the d:rectors of the London Fire engine.

These troops not being in Chinese pay, nor subject to Chinese control, the Chinese Gove rnment has certainly no right to direct their movements, nor has it anything to say to their discipline. This there can be no question about. But when the Chinese Government purchases vessels and guns, and appoints a high officer to take command of them, the foreign mili tary officers whom it may enge.l6_s to assist in the instruction of its forces, inasmuch as these are in the pay of the Government, Cannot limit their ser vices t o ac tion against the (Mem / only at the ports of trade.

For: utiete i_ y a shelf in the rock some 30 feet down broke their fall, and the ladies lodged in the trees. One was seriously and the other slightly injured. The Court of Assizes of the Ardennes has just tried a man named Perin and his sister on a charge of having murdered the new . 15 -born 'infant of the latter. Aft er s trangling the poor thing, they boiled its body, gave the flesh to the pigs, and burat the bones. The jury found the male prisoner guilty, bu t acquitted the woman. The former was accordingly eon tented to hoed labour for life. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE BRIGHTON CLUB MEETING.—TuuRsDAT. A card containing 10 races was a return to the much abused Ascot programme, the length of which has been so much commented upon by the various sporting journals. The Club had evidently considered quantity instead of qua lity, so a move to the Course at an early hour was rendered necessary. Some excitement was caused on the arrival of the papers from town by the announcement, which appeared in The Sun, that Scottish Chief was scratched for the St. Leger. Rumours had been current to that effect last evening, and this morning brought the confirmation. The Clint Stakeq, with gentlemen riders, and for which the non-staying Bertha was made a warm favourite, were carried off by Nebula. An objection against the winner on the ground of her not having reached the post when the flag was lowered was overruled by the stewards. The 10:1 Sov Plate was won very easily by Nukuheva, a very questionable piece of riding on the part of the jockey of Anti-Macassar, the second horse, opposite the Stand, being greeted with deserved marks of disapprobation as he passed the chair. Neither the owner nor trainer of the horse was on the ground ; Lord Portsmouth, one of the most honourable men on the turf, having the misfortune to stand sponsor to him on the occasion, The rest of the racing was unimportant in character. Le Mandarin easily disposed of his field in the Biennial, and then came a suc cession of plates and sweepstakes, with small fields, and horses of no particular calibre. There was a falling off in the attendance from that of yesterday, though the weather was still beautiful.

The favourite, in company with Camillus, Auditor, and Anti-Macassar, made the running to the stand, when the latter came past his horses, and took second place, which position his rider did not appear inclined to improve, and was beaten easily by a length and a half ; a length be tween the second and tbird, Sister to Signalman was fourth, Sante Ruisseau fifth, Canute and Salpinctes were the last two.

AQUATICS. ROYAL YACHT SQUA DRON E,EGATTA. The contest for the 100 Soya Chip and £25 prize, partially reported in 2]e Sun of yesterday, is yet undecided, the leading yachts having conclude i their second round of the course at so late an hour that, a a had been anticipated, the match will have to be sailed en .er again. Yesterday the grand event of the Squadron I tegatta came off—the race for her Majesty's Cup, a handicap for schooners and yawls belonging to the Royal Yacht Squadron. The following vessels entered. :—TJrsuline yawl, 112 tons (Mr H. Villebois)—Titania schooner, 181 tons (the Earl of Rosse)—Aline schooner, 2.16 tons (Captain C. S. A. Thellusson)—Vestal, 74 tons (Sir Bruce Chichester)— bertir e schooner,ls6 tons (Lord Londesborough)—Cissy schooner, 121 tons (Mr F. K. Dumas)—Viking schooner, 142 tons (Mr Inglis Jones) —Intrepid schooner, 75 t ong (Count F. Du Monceau). The Cissy did not put in an. appearance. Theremaining seven took up the positions assigned them at the proper time off the Squadron Club-house. In the early morning a dead calm prevailed, but about 10 a.m. light airs sprang up, at first unsteady and from different points of the compass, but at 10 30 a.m. the chances of there being a sufficiency of wind to sail out the match during the prescribed limit of time (by 9 p.m.), the seven competing craft were started, and at 10 40 the leading vessels passed Old Castle Point with their main booms over their quarters and sheets eased off. Between Ryde and the mainland at this time the wend was springing up tc what may be termed a nice light breeze from NE by N. As the yachts passed Norri s Caste they began to improve their pace under the influen ce of the fresh ening breeze which they were bringing up with them, and they laid their course up the middle channel for th e Nor man and Warner, the Albertine leading, with the A l i en , Viking, and Intrepid next, and Vestal, Titania, and 'Crrsu line following. Bringing the wind up with them, they passed Ryde pier head as follows, their bearing from the pier line when timed being due north : H M. S, H. M. S. Albertine Viking Intrepid Aline R tinning down past the Sandhead shoals, the Norman,and he Warner light vessel, they jibbed round as follows, the Aline having passed the Viking, and Intrepid, and taken second place : H. M. S. H. M. s. Albertine .. l2 8 2S Vestal Aline Viking Intrepid Flying kites were now taken in, as the vessels made prepa rations for beating their way back westwards to Calshot light, there being still a moderately full sail brecze from WNW. The Albertine made a long board for the main land, and half an hour after going round the Warner tacked under Southsea Castle—the Aline and Viking tack ing also at the same time. The Intrepid made a short board for the island shore when off the Horse Sand Fort, some short time before the others. The Vestal made a long board, and went about under Southsea, following the ex ample of the leading vessels. The remainder made short tacks. Albertine, Aline, and Viking stood off from South sea towards the Sandhead, and again went about in deep water and in the main strength of the weather tide for the westward, the Albertine still maintaining her original lead over the Aline, although the latter had obtained the second place. In working through Spithead the Intrepid improved her position in the race, while the Vestal at the same point damaged hers. The Albertine kept her reach for South ampton Water until far enough .to windward to weather Calshot light-vessel, which she accomplished by going about at lh. 33m., and was followed by the others as they weathered the lightship. After weathering Calshot the leading vessels met with the wind freshening to a glorious strength, and they made their boards along the north shore in rattling style, round the mask-boat moored off Egypt Point, and completing the first round, or one-half of their work, in the following differences of time : H. M. S. H. M. S. Albertine Mine 2 20 15 Vestal ..... 2 44 30 Viking Intrepid The wind continued steadily fresh at W.N.W., and the yachts commenced their second round with every proLabi lity of bringing the race during the remainder of the day to a decisive termination, but yachting chances in matches under sail are, generally speaking, beyond man's control, and sometimes beyond his comprehension in their results. In order to afford some definite clue to the position of the vessels on the completion of their first round of the course, we append here the handicap allowance of time as arranged by the Squadron Sailing Committee : —Aline allows Tita niajl2 min.; Albertine, 17 min.; Viking, 20 min. ; Vestal, 20 min, ; Ursuline, 33 min. ; Intrepid, 37 min. The difference in the time nanied between the different vessels will give the time allowance from one vessel to the other. The same fortunate strength of breeze accompanied the yachts on their second round, and the Albertine and Aline still maintained their lead. When off the checkered buoy of the Brambles, off Southampton river, the Albertine had the lead of the Aline by 4 minutes, and the prize was then apparently hers. The squadron prizes will be sailed over again for to-day. To-morrow the Royal Yacht Squadron give a prize to be sailed for of the value of 100 guineas, the Arrow being ex cluded from the race. Aline came in first, Albertine second ; the latter takes the cup by time, 16 minutes. SHIPPING-THIS DAY. LONDON, Aug. s.—Wind this day at noon—South- West ; moderate breeze and fine weather.

OLIVER GOLDSMITH IN TROUBLE.—At the Gal. way Assizes last week Mr Whitton brought an action against Oliver Goldsmith—who claims to be a de scendant of the poet—to recover the value of a diamond ring, entrusted to the defendant for the purpose of having its value ascertained in Dublin. The defendant, it seems, placed it on his finger outside his glove, and before he had proceeded tar on the road he missed it, and was never able to find it. It was valued by its owner at £lOO, but the jury set a more moderate value on it, and awarded the plaintiff £2O and costs. It appears that the modern Oliver has inherited the careless habits of his ancestor. Bank of England Return,•—Last Evening.

The "Clergy List" is innocent of the name of Mr Fluewellin, and no trace of him is to be found in "Crockford'e. Cler cal Directory," a circumstance which, hcwever, is not to be much wondered at, as the Church has no Mr Fluewellin in the ranks of her ministry. Upon inquiry it turns out that the gentleman upon whom this domestic misery has fallen is not a clergyman, but a dairyman, whose only claim to the spiritual character is that he occasionally enlightens the people of Mount Rad ford, near Exeter, on rel i g ious matters in the interest of dissent. Mr. l'‘tutters, instead of being the confideltial butler in charge of the f amil y plate, s the person who used to carry out the milk to Mr Fluewel, i lin's customers. The flue old mansion of C310n , 1 Y.‘Murdo, on the banks of the Thames, was yesterday totally &styled by fire, with all its valuable contents. . - .s ~~~ Wi ll ' ectiOn INV ES the latioa coffe° Df l‘ir o laaa Led to , atl ita ror ke, , a the t to T.
