He also admitted that ho had forged a cheque for £l5, and had obtained £3 upon it from the proprietor of a night house in the neighbourhood of the Haymarket. The plaintiff said that he committed the forgery when he was drunk, and had no recollection of the ircurnstances. It seemed that the litigation, in refer ace to which the plaintiff had assisted the defendant, consisted of three actions, which were referred to arbitration. The nature of the actions was that the plaintiff sued a person named J'ugh for £350, and another person named Spiers for £150; both sums due for money lent ; whilst on the other hand Pugh sued the defendant for " commission" for in troducing to him a Miss Dermot, The sum claimed was £1:200, and the commission was ea:eulatecl upon the basis cf an alleged agreement that the defendant should give I'ugh half the amount of money, which he should obtain fora Miss Dermot b y way of gilt or loan, '.Ne di fendant'.3yer:lion of ais connection eith Miss Dtirunit was., that about t hreo years ago he met her "promiscuously," and Svcs not introduced to her by Pugh.

Miss Dermot gave him £2,500 to set up in busi ness, and he had also had of her about £2,000 in addition. His Lordship, in summing up, went carefully through the evidence, and directed the jury to con sider which set of evidence they gave credence to.

It was rather thought that the President was tardy in taking the step which the vast majority of the French people were almost audibly calling upon him to take. The corruption of the Government of Louis Philippe, —the events, domestic and foreign, which angered the nation and hastened his fail—the discredit of the republic, —the bloody scenes in the streets of Paris—the ill-dis guised schemes of the Red Republicans, who seemed at one moment about to clutch the reins of Government—the squabbles and incapacity of the representative Chambers under the President —the general feeling of uncertainty, disquiet, and insecurity —and the universal yearning after something firm and stable turned the thoughts of the nation towards an empire under a strong hand. Louis Napoleon was the only man who united in his person the various qualities and conditions which could give him a title in the eyes of the great mass of the people to govern France. That he ful filled their wishes in assuming- supreme power, there can be no doubt. That he was condemned by many great and good men, who had the liberties of their country dearly at heart, is equally true. But when these men whose influ ence with a certain section of the people was to be feared, were carried off, as Mr. liinglake has described, like felons in a prison van, where in France was the hand raised in their defence, or where the vohe of sympathy heard in their behalf ? To say that the French nation was so held down and terrified that it dared not act er speak, is to assert that which is palpably absurd. If their feelings had been seriously outraged, the people would have risen as they had risen before. Col. Towneley, Lord Uxbridge, Lord 1 1 /iltor" lv moreland, Lord Winchilsea, and Lord Zetlat:i. Lord GLASGOW moved the following resolution, which was seconded by Lord STRATHMORE :--- " That after the termination of the First Spring Meeting, 1863, no race shall be run at Newmarket over a shorter dis tance than the T.Y. C., with the exception of 2 yr-old plates and stakes run between the commencement of the Craven and the end of the First October Meetings, which may be run any course not le:s than half a mile." This rule not to apply to matches, or to private sweep stakes of 25 soya each or upwards. Admiral Rous will:drew the amendment of which he had given notice, and Lord COVENTRY moved the follow ing arnendalent, which was seconded by Lord Wrcerttr.- SEA : France and of Europe. It was the evident interest of the Emperor that the inhabitants of Paris should be conciliated, and that bloodshed should be avoided as much as possible. It was to prevent it that he had arrested the leading depu ties, including "the street captains and the chiefs of secret societies" (p. 253), and the heads of parties who might have organised resistance.

This Company formed for the punhase and working of the Carlorriota Tin Mines, situated in the Parisn of St. steuhetn, St. Austel, in the County of Cornwall, a district well knov;n among mineralogists as being r'ch in Tin Mineral d eposits. The sett i s very extensive, and held under le ase irom Lady Grenville, fo r a t erm of twenty-one years, at a roi alty 01'one-fifteenth. The promising character of the Mines to be worked by the present Company fully warrants the expe-tation that large returns will be realised ; five Tin I odes are known to _pass through the sett, and on one of which operations have been C irried on to some considerable extent by the former workers. The Mine is situated on the junct'on of Granite and Killas, 80 favourable for the production of metallic minerals, parti cularly Tin. The ancient excavations on the backs of the lodes give evi dence that vast quantities of Tin hive been raised on the property, and recent explorati,ns demonstrate this sett to be of no ordinary kind, it being merely a question of capital for ' a fuller development to bi ing it Into a dividend state. The reports annexed are from men of lon per ence ence in th e n i strict ; their testimony as g to p the ractical highly promising ebarao er of the property, and the great local ad vantages by which it is surrounded, wl , l be r qicl with inte rest and leaving tolling to be urged by the Directors, ex mil an assurance of their strong o'nfidence as to its value, and that ere long it will bear comparison with any of the rich Mines opened in the district. A contract has been entered into for the purchase of the property on most favours le terms —viz., for £6,000 (Z 2,500 in cash, and £3,500 in paid-uP Shares). The capital of the Company is fimed at £15,000, in 3,r00 Shares of £5 each ;it 1,, however, estimated that ! per share urn be ample for all pure . Nes, to place the Min , in a profit able state, as imme. late returns of Tin cau be m ide. The Company having been registered with limited liability, no Shareholder "an, under any circumstan: es whatever, be made respon s ibl e for a greater amount than that of the shares to which he sub tribes. A considerable portion of the capital has already been sub scribed. The Directors propose to commence operations when they co nsider a sufficie n t num b er of shares have been subscribed for.

This Company as been formed to meet a long recognised 'want. it will enable persons to furnish their apartments or houses with the money they would otherwise have to pay as rent. A married couple, occupying furnished apartments at a Weekly rental of 305., or £7' per annum, might have similar apartments, unfurnished, at £lO per annu •• The use of fur niture, therefore, costs them £4B a year, whereas tie cost of furnishing would not exceed £. 00—which, being provided, a saying of £.B tier annum wou d be effected'. The Equitable Furnis ,, lng Company will effe2t this savin by supplying the furniture, the best of its kind, at ready'- theony price. the party making his election to purchase at end f a year and a half two years, or three y ears. I n the m eantime, the furniture will be taken on hire, the hi re being periodically paid. The whole of the payments will he allowed in the event of purcha e, and thus the money which would have gone as rent will have bought the furniture. The charge made by the Company will be 7i per cent, per annum on the price of the hoods, if purchased at the end. of 18 months ; of 8/ percent., if at the end of two years ; and of 10 per cent., if at the, end of three years. The Company will retain the ownership of all furniture unti' it has been paid for, so that any appropriation of it would constitute a criminal offence. Sezure for rent is the only adverse contingency to which the Company will be ex posed ; but as the deposit payable will always cover the first rent due, that risk will be small, and it is allowed for in the estimate of proflis. The Directors have secured an established and first rate furniture businees, returning net profits of more than 20 per cent , with unusually commcd , ous and admirably adapted premises. in one of the best situations at the West-end .t the town, and a large stork of weli. seasoied Furniture, exhibited. In suites of apartments. in various styles. This will consti tute a very advantageous haul- for the Company's own busi ness and jtv titles the Directors in anticipating for the Share holders, after liberally providing for al' possible contingen cies, interest at the rate o at least "0 per cent per annum The following certificate will be satisfactory on this point Western Life (tffice, Parliament-street.

Sir G. R. BOSWALL, Part, Sir DAVID BAIRD, Bart, Stewards. Major INNES, Major L' AMY, J. B. KELLIE, Clerk at the Cows*, True History of the Coup d'Etat. From a masterly criticism upon Mr. Kinglake's " History (soi disant) of the Crimean War" in the newly-published number of the Quarterly, we quote the following perfectly conclusive and wholely un answerable narrative of the actual facts as they were, and as they are now proved to have been, in reference to the ever-memorable Second of De cember : The chapter which contains the history of the coup d'etat of the 2d December illustrates the tendency of Mr. King_ lake to warp every fact eo as to suit his own particular theories; to receive any evidence, however untrustworthy, which may support his own preconceived views; and to reject any testimony, however weighty, which may be at variance with them. The truth of history is sacrificed to the most malignant persecution of the object of his r ancour and hare. ith reckless ingenuity he mingles fact and fiction : whilst avoiding positive statements, he cunningly insinuates inferences opposite to the truth, dives into the gutter for every remnant of personal scandal, has recourse to the vulgarest arts of rhetoric, and leaves no means un tried to prejudice the minds and to influence the passions of the reader, It happens that those English writers who have written about the Emperor, and the condition of France under his rule, have for the most part derived their opinions and their information from the leading members of the two great poli tical parties who have been deprived of power by him, and are consequently hostile to him. The most distinguished French literary and political men have belonged to the Orleanist party. These writers and thinkers have exercised, and justly, a certain influence on the literary men and women of this country. They have given a certain hue to the opinions of English &clay and of the English press with regard to France and her ruler. Moreover, those whose object it has been to discredit the Emperor, and to bring him into hatred and contempt, have been persons of great activity and ready resource. They have moved rest lessly about with their mouths full of slander, and their pockets full of pamphlets. Into the hands of these persons Mr. Kinglake seems to have helplessly fallen. He goes even beyond them in the intensity of his hate and in the bitterness of his tongue. He pursues the Emperor and those about him with a rancorous animosity and a fierce, fiery invective which savours more of the unforgiving vengeance of one who has experienced some great personal wrong, than of the calm judgment of the historian. He so overwhelms them with taunts, sar casm, and sneers that at length the reader, however unfavour able his opinton of the men may originally have been, feels a sympathy for human beings so remorselessly persecuted. Louis Napoleon, Persigny, more properly Fialin, St. Arnaud, formerly Le Roy, Maupas, and Fleury, become, from bad men who should be objects of our hatred, martyrs and victims to be pitied, By this ill-advised and unscru pulous, and, let us add, un-English course, Mr. Kinglake has frustrated his own object. It has brought about a reaction in favour of the Emperor, and has led people to forget his faults and his misdeeds in a manly Indignation at the injustice done to him. Those who in the country had from the beginning denounced his political sins—those who in his own capital had held aloof from him because they could not condone acts which they conscientiously con demned—have gathered for the first time about him to prove at least that they protest against the reckless accu sations contained in Mr. Kinglake's book. Mr. Kinglake seems entirely ignorant of both France and Frenchmen, According to him, a free and constitutional country was suddenly and in one night bound and trampled down by a small band of conspirators—men of no character or reputation, and of small ability and means.

If ever consp i racy o becamew was was public in the hatching, it was this one, For months Mr. Kinglake's sketch of the character of the Emperor, his sneer at his personal courage, sad his merciless and reckless abuse—sometimes uttered in words scarcely befiit ting, at other times in unbecoming sarcasm—have been so generally and justly condemned, that we have no wish to dwell upon them. Mr. Kinglake is constrained to admit the total indiffe rence with which the coup d'etat was viewed by the vast majority of the population of Paris. The chiefs of the ex treme democratic party—of that party which was most feared by moderate men and by the commercial classes of France —sought, after the arrest of the deputies, to excite a popular tumult, and, with the help of the Reds, to raise a barricade at the corner of the Rue St. Marguerite, in the Faubourg St. Antoine; but Mr. Kinglake confesses that they received little sympathy and no aid from the people. One battalion of the 19th regiment of the line sufficed to disperse them, but not without bloodshed : Charles Baudin and another deputy of the democratic faction were killed. The Committee of Resistance then caused barricades to be thrown up in the streets between the H o t e l d e V ille and the Boulevards—that part of Paris which up to this period had always been the centre of such attempts at revol u ti on . S t ill the great massof the population of the capital took no part, and up to the 4th of December the Government had no fear of any organised resistance to as authority. On the after. noon of that day, however, the barricades becoming more numerous, General Magnan received orders to take them and to disperse those who had raised them. He sent a strong column to occupy the tread boulevards stretching from the Madelaine to the first barricade near the Porte St. Denis. Notices, as Mr. Kinglake admits, had been pre viously posted in the public plates, and distributed, calling upon the people not to assemble in or to encumber the streets, and cautioning them that any crowd would be dispersed by force without further summons. Ample warning seems thus to have been given. Mr. Kinglake describes General Magnan as " wavering, and throwing away the whole of the morning, and the greater part of the afternoon." The fact was that, acting upon the experience of (Janeral Cavaignac and others who had been engaged in quelling similar risings, instead of scattering his troops, he kept them together until the insurgents were collected at the principal barricades, which were then taken without difficulty or much bloodshed. The column on the Boule vards had captured the barricade near the Porte St. Denis. All resistance had ceased. The troops were resting on their arms ; the officers collected in knots ; idlers were gathering together on the pavement, and appearing at the windows. Suddenly some shots were fired from a house upon the soldiers. They were seized with a sudden panic, not un common to men so plc ced, and, facing round the whole line, and, it would seem, without any order from their officers, they commenced firing upon those who stood as spectators at the windows and in the streets. A field-piece was bro , ght to bear against one house, from which, there is reason to believe, shots had been fired. Accounts differ as to the time during which the firing continued. According to the testimony of one who was present, it scarcely lasted more than five minutes, and few of the men had time to reload before their officers interposed and stopped them, Even according to the witness cited by Mr Kinglake, it only lasted a quarter of an hour. However that may be, many victims fell in what may be admitted to have been an unprovoked and barbarous attack, equally disgraceful to the troops which committed it, and to those who were in a position to prevent it. It might have been thought that the bare statement of the facts as they occurred would have sufficed even so virulent a writer as Mr. Kinglake. But, as usual, he goes out of his way to heap up story upon story, without sifting the evidence upon which they may be founded, so long as they tell against the object of his hate —the Emperor Napoleon. The principal witness he pro duces is one Captain Jesse, who stood in a balcony near the corner (;f the Rue Montauban, and who sent an account of what he saw to the Times. We all know how easily a man's judgment may be influenced and affected by an event on, and n blood other as alarming as th a t w i tnessed by Capta i n J esse, and how natural is the tend e ney,und er s uch circumstances, t o exag gerate it. But eve r y statement that i n any way contradicts him, Mr. Kinglak e rejects (vol. i i, g p. p w a a r s t s no of doubt Paris fightingsbed as the street b arr i cades were more obstinately def en d e d than those on the Boule vards. Mr. Kingl a k e states that men an d women innocent of any share in the fightespweecriay made prisoners and delibe ellrately shot. Oth ers , h e declares, were kill e d i n the court yardss 26 8 note), much of the Prefecture by police-officers, with loaded clubs, as men who killed bullocks. For this fact he quotes M. Xavier Durrieu, a Red Republican, and one of those who strove to "raise the people" in the Faubourg St. Antoine (p. 254), wh o sa y s that he saw some • thing of the kind from hi s p r ison window, but whose words, as given by Mr, Kinglake in a note (p. 274), do not quite bear out the somewhat exaggerated statement in the text. Mr. Kinglake willingly gives currency t o s t or i es of "whole batches of men shot by platoons" in cold blood and by night in Paris, It is surprising that, as a lawyer, he should have produced in support of his belief such evi dence as that of the "Judge-Substitute," who "under stood" that men were carried off from gaols to be shot; who," indeed, was certain that they were so shot," although he had no personal knowledge of the fact (p. 279). Sounds cif platoon firing, accompanied by shrieks, were heard in the dead of the night in "one of the undisturbed quarters of Paris "—in the Faubourg St. Germain, probably, where the Paris gobemouches who nourish Mr. Kinglake chiefly dwell. He adds, without one atom of proof, that the bodies of men thus murdered were buried in batches in pits. Such things are denied by well-informed persons and by the more respectable leaders of the Republican party themselves, and we have never met with an impartial Frenchman who be lieves in them. To the most exaggerated accounts of the number of the slain Mr. Kinglake, in spite of his comical assertion that "it is hard to believe such things," seems to give credit. According to a nameless Colonel, one regiment alone killed 2,400 men! As the regiments " operating against Paris" were between 30 and 40, 20 of which were on active work, he believes that " a very high number would be wanted for recording the whole quantity of the slaughter." Taking his own arithmetic, this would give a total loss of 48,000 killed I We presume that from 20,000 to 25,000 would scarcely satisfy him. In great battles where large armies have stood face to face in serried ranks and in deadly strife from dawn to dark, such slaughter has probably never been witnessed : the total of the British killed at Waterloo was onty 2,109. How could it have been inflicted upon the passengers in a street and spectators at a window, who at the first shot would at once flee in all directions ? The very sight of a dozen dead bodies would naturally lead peaceful citizens to think that there had been a general massacre. midst the of little v a l ue to the tof these a l arms , or i n th e forgetting the character of a historian. aTnhgeuir ishevevidence Ae mr. m Kinglake, judge in that of the partisan , accepts all without scruple. Two documents, however, exist, bearing an o ffi c i a l cha racter, of returns of the killed and wounded in December, 1851. One of them, s tating the loss of soldiers and officers at 25 killed and 184 wounded, is quoted by Mr. Kinglake (p. 282). How comes he to omit all allusion to the corres ponding list, published at the same time, of the civilians killed ? It would be an insult to the labours and re searches of eight years to suppose that he is not aware of its existence. The list to which we refer was drawn up by the " Chef de la Salubrite," at the Hotel de la Prefecture, whose duty it is to examine every dead body at th e h osp it a l s o f P ar i s and at the M to giving license for its inter ment. The name Morgue character of this ffieer, the late emi or an p d reviou s nent surgeon M. Trebuchet, is a sufficient voucher for its veracity. According to it the total number of "persons not belonging to the army, killed on the 3d, 4th, sth. and 6th of December, 1851, or dead of their wounds," amounted to 1911 No attempt could be made to ascertain the number of the wounded, who were, of course, concealed by their friends to keep clear of the police. The reason of Mr. Kinglake's silence with respect to the document we have quoted is evident. It demolishes at once his monstrous intOnuation that the massacre of peaceful citizens on the Boulevards on the 4th December was the re sult of a cunningly devised scheme on the part of the Bar peror N..poleon to awe the inhabitants of Paris, to establish his rule, and t o make himself the arbiter of the destinies of Oa the " Newmarket Oaks" day there is usually a large attendance of the fair sex, who congregate lon the heath to witness the performances of their favourites just as they d o at Epsom, though, of course, not in corresponding num bers. To-day, however, very few ladies appeared, in spi te of the continued fine weather, and the attendance of all classes was below the average. From the well-known un certainty attending the running of mares at this early sea son, there is far less interest connected with this race than with that for the Two Thousand Guineas, as it does not afford the same key to the Oaks which the latter gives to the Derby. The race was won on this occasion in the most hollow manner by Lord Stamford's mare, the second also belonging to his lordship, whose success, after a long series of disappointments, gave the highest satisfaction to a large majority of the spectators. The winner is a fine slashing mare, but from her running in the Chesterfield last year, when she was beaten by Saccharometer it was feared that she was unable to stay ; having; shown in the early part of that race that she was possessed of sufficient pace, but dying away at the finish, her stoutness was re garded as very doubtful. She is engaged in the Oaks, as well as Flying Fish and the three placed next. Tornado, who started an even favourite with the winner, was not persevered with beyond the entrance to the cords, and it is probable that she might have run second to her, but hav ing no chance for the first place she was very properly re served for the great Epsom event. The winner was pur chased of Lord Derby, and Flying Fish of Mr. Tattersall, Lord Stamford being thus at length rewarded for his num berless spirited purchases of racing stock.

MEETINGS OF THE JOCKEY CLUB. A general meeting of the Jockey Club was held at New. market on Wednesday. Present —Lord Coventry, Admiral Roos, - and Mr. Alexand er ( stewards) ; Mr. Bayne, Count Batthyany, Mr. W. G. Craven, Lord Chesterfield, Sir H. Des Lord Port Vceu.a, Lord Glasgow, Sir J. H awley, Lord Lincoln, smouth, Lord W. Powlett, Mr. Payne, Mr. Saville, Lord Stamford, Lord Strathmore, Lord Strafford, - - _ After some discussion a division took place, when the numbers were—for Lord Coventry's amendment, 7 ; for Lord Glasgow's motion 15. Lord Glasgow's motion was therefore declared to be carried. Admiral Rous then proposed to amend the second para graph of rule 42, as passed at the last meeting, by inserting after the words " the three stewards " the words "of the Jockey Club," which was unanimously agreed to. A discussion rose upon this rule 42 generally, which was thought to require some attention, iu order not to limit un duly the power of stewards of country meetings, and also to define accurately the time at which suspension should com mence when a complaint against a jockey is not heard on the day on which the offence complained of is committed, and some notices of amendment were given, to be taken into consideration at a meeting of the Jockey Club on Friday (to-day). Some further business not of a public nature was trans acted, and the meeting adjourned. The following notices of motion have been given for the meeting which is to be held to-day : "To insert in the second paragraph of rule 42, as pub lished in Sheet Calendar, No. XII., after the words 'no jockey can be suspended' the words ' beyond the meeting at which the offence is committed.' " "To add to the third paragraph, after the words last race of the day,' the words 'on which the punishment is awarded.' " LAW INTELLIGENCE.-April 23. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. (Sittings in Banco at Westminster, before Lord Chief Justice Cockburn, Mr. Justice Crompton, Mr. Justice Blackburn, and Mr. Justice Mellor.) EX PARTE THE EARL OF CARDIGAN V. LIEUTENANT COLONEL THE HON. SOMERSET TALBOT CALTHORPE. -- THE LIGHT CAVALRY CHARGE AT BALAKLAVA. In this case, relating to the bravely-made but calamitous light cavalry charge at Balaklava, Major General the Earl of Cardigan, who commanded the brigade and led on the charge, complains that he has been grossly misrepresented. Mr. Bovill, Q.C,, with whom was Mr. Garth, now applied, on behalf of the noble and gallant general, the Earl of Cardigan, for a rule calling upon the Hon. Lieutenant-Colonel Somerset Talbot Cal thorpe, who served in the Crimean war, and who has written a book entitled " Letters from Head quarters, the Realities of the War in the Crimea," by an officer on the Staff, to show cause why a cri minal action should not be filed against him for a libel reflecting upon, and calculated, if uncontra dieted, to reflect upon and prove injurious to the military reputation of the noble and gallant general. The libel complained of was contained in the de scription of the attack by the light cavalry brigade, under the command of the Earl of Cardigan, upon the Russian batteries at Balaklava, in which the noble earl contended that his military character and honour had been impeached, by its being said he did not take his brigade through the battery, but that, " on coming up to the battery (as he after wards himself described it), a gun was fired close to him, and for a moment he thought his leg was gone. Such was nut the case, as he remained unhurt. However, his horse took fright—swerved round— and galloped off with him to the rear, passing, on the way, by the 4th Light Dragoons and Bth Hussars, before these regiments got up to the battery." 17.1r1 Cardigan, after the first edition of the work, called the author's attention to the above erroneous statement, and in the second edition, without altering the original text, he pub lished a notice, in which he simply stated that no doubt the statement that his horse ran away with him was erroneous. In a third edition he still retained the objectionab.e passage, with a similar note. Mr. Kinglake's recent work on the Crimea had again called attention to the events there, and the noble earl found that these calumnies in reference to the charge at Balaklava were being freely spoken about in public society. In February he called upon the author to stop the publication of the work, or expunge the ojectionable passage, but he declined to do so, and he therefore felt bound to make the present application. The learned gentle referred to and quoted largely from affidavits which he put in in support of his motion, deposing that there had been much misapprehension and misre presentation on the subject of the light cavalry charge at Balak lava, and in support of the manner in which the Earl of Cardigan led the charge, and concluded, after much discussion, in submitting that he was entitled to a rule. The court granted a rule nisi. The Earl of Cardigan was in court, and sat in the Queen's counsel box, close to his counsel, while the motion was being made. AVISIT TO RUSSIA> By HENRY M OOR.

Treasurer—Edward Masterman, Esq. This was the first hospital to introduce the principle of free and instant admission to the destitute sick, without the for mality Of eovernors' letters. It is entirely devoted to desti tution in its most pitiable form—viz., that which is accom panied by sickness and disease, and is now of sufficient magnitude that, with adequate support, it may be rendered capable of admitting into its wards a very large proportion of the casual sick of this great metropolis. It requires but the funds in order to have 500 beds available for the reception of these the most wretched of our &How oroo.tures. Moreover, it gratuitously affords medical advice and medicine to more, on the average, than 3,000 out-patients a week. The Weekly Board feel it their imperative duty to make an EARNEST APPEAL to the public for continued support, to enable them to odmit and relieve the distressing cases that daily present themselves.

BRODIE--ALLEGED IMPROPER DISMISSAL. SINGULAR CASE. This was an action to recover damages for an alleged improper dismissal from the defendant's service, and also to recover money claimed to be due for work done. Mr. Hawkins, Q.C., and Mr. Kenealy appeared for the plaintiff; and Mr. Sergeant Ballantine and Mr. Pearce for the defendant. The defendant in the case was formerly in the army, but subsequently carried on business as a military outfitter in Princes-street, Hanover-square. In the spring of last year he met the plaintiff at the corner of Coventry-street, Haymarket, and soon afterwards he employed him and paid him £2 ss. a week. The p'aintiff's work seemed to be a com bination of the duties of clerk and messenger. The employment continued until Oct. 18, when it was e terminated by the defendant in consequence ottssboomth disagreement between them. Upon these the evidence was very contradictory; the time of parties agreed, but as to the remainder of the case The plaintiff's version was, that at salary due to the dismissal there was three . vr ai e he was re-engaged him ; and that after the dism i ss al after this frequently for a twelvemonth cert.affi,ne• occupied with any he place of business, but it r ece . ived . from time to time was not paid his wages in full.

The defendant denied that there was any salary due to the plaintiff • ,that he was ever re-engaged, after his dismissal in October ; and that he had ever promised him 1;200, or any other sum, for his ser vices in respect of the litigation. he had handed the He admitted that plaintiff small sums at various times after October, but • he said that the money was given in charity, the plaintiff being in distress and ill; and not as payments. The defendant had also several times sent the plaintiff with messages about business, and given him money for going ; and on one occasion he had paid £3B to get the plaintiff out of the hands of a sheriff's officer. In addition to the statements of the parties to the suit, there was evidence on both sides in corrobora tion of what had been said. Both the plaintiff and the defendant were elm- COURT OF EXCHEQUER. - - (Sittings in Banco, before Lord Chief Baron Pollock 4 -tin, Bramwell, and Wilde.; AN ATTORNEY ruslE-). A rule had been obtained calling upon an attor ney named Paget to show cause why he should not be struck off the rolls for misconduct in making cer tain untrue statements on affidavits of increase, for the purpose of getting a larger amount of costs than he was entitled to in five actions relating to a water course, which came on at the assizes at York, but were referred for arbitration. The report of the master, going elaborately into the whole circumstances, had been read by Master Fredk. Pollock to the court on a previous day. Mr. Manisty, Q.C., on the part of the attorney, now showed cause against the rule. lie admitted that his client had made some unfortunate mistakes, and had not exercised proper care and caution, but urged as an excuse the many difficult and compli cated matters arising out of the five actions, and said that the acts complained of were done inno cently, and with no intention whatever to make fic titious charges in his bills of cost. Mr. T. Jones was also heard on the same sick. Mr. Overend, Q.C. (with whom was Mr. Rew) appeared in support of the rule, but said he was con tent to leave the case upon the report of the master without any comments of his own. The Lord Chief Baron, after a consultation with his learned brothers, said this was one of the most serious questions which could arise in the adminis tration of justice. An application was made to strike an attorney off the rolls on the ground that he had on several occasions made charges which he had no right to make, and supp orted them with affidavits which certainly turned out to be untrue. It was one of the duties of the superior courts of Westminster-hall to watch over the conduct of those officers who carried on their business, and this court was now called upon to pronounce an opinion on the conduct of one whose counsel ad mitted had been guilty of great negligence and carelessness, and considerable indifference to the character and reputation of a very honourable branch of the profession. On the integrity and honour of that branch of the profession a great part of the safety of the community depended. Per sons of large property entrusted their estates en tirely to them ; and vi lien any one employed a well known and respectable member of the body be ge nerally reposed in him the most implicit confidence, and it was satisfactory to the court to reflect that in general that confidence was well reposed. The court did not think they were called upon to strike this attorney off the rolls for what might have been only an Extremely slovenly and irregular mode of conducting his business, but he appears to have taken no pains to ascertain, as every one who made an affidavit ought to do, whether the matters ho swore to were correct. From the line of argument pursued it would appear that this was very much the mode in which a large portion of the business in this and other courts were conducted. If that were so it was high time that it should be understood that it must not be continued, It was high time that the court should interterc, Int it was not necessary in this case, which brought the subject first before the court, that they should make a very grave example; but if the court now showed any leniency, it must not be drawn into a precedent for the impunity of those who might be subsequently guilty of this practice. The judg ment of the court was that so much of the rule as prayed that Mr. Paget should be struck off the roll of attorneys should be discharged, but on con dition that he paid a fine of £lOO, and also paid all the costs of the rule and of the proceedings before the master. Judgment accordingly. ARREST OF AN ENGLISH AUTHOR BY THE FEDE RALS.—A Washington telegram of the 9th says : "George B. Lawrence, author of the well-known romance, Guy Livingstone,' was arrested a mile and a half beyond our picket lines last night, while making his way to Rich mond. Lawrence arrived in this country two or three weeks since from England, and has occupied his time since with prominent Secessionists in this city and in Baltimore.

E. A. J. Harris, her Majcsty'S Minister in Switzerland, dated Berne, Jau. 29, 1863, re specting "cartes desejour" and passports, and published in the London Gazette of Feb. 13:—" The decree of the Swiss Federal Council, dated April 16, 1862, states that it is no longer neceesary fur foreign travellers to exhibit passports either on the frontier or in the interior ; but the Cantonal Governments still retain the power of requiring from thoas who prolong their residence beyond the period indic...ted by the laws of each Canton the exhibition of passports or papers for the purpose of obaining ' cartes de sejour,' for which . a fee is to be paid. In the case of British subjects under the Treaty of 1856 the scale of fees is the same as that di. manded from Swiss citizens of other Cantons."
