Despatches, of which the following are copies, have been received from Vice-Admiral Sir Charles Napier, Com mander-in-Chief of her Majesty's ships and vessels in the Baltic. Enclosing a copy of Captain Key's Despatch (and reply thereto), relative to the capture of Libau. Duke of Wellington, Hango Head, May 30, 1854. SIR,—I request you will lay before their lordships the enclosed copy of a despatch I have received from Captain Key, of the Amphion, senior officer on the coast of Cour land and Livonia, giving an account of the measures he adopted to effect the surrender of the town of Libau, and the shipping in that port, which was happily accomplished without having occasion to fire a shot. Enclosed I have the honour to transmit a copy of my reply to Captain Key's despatch. I have, Stc.,__ CHAS. NAPIER, Vice-Admiral and Commander-in-Chief. To the Secretary of the Admiralty, London. 8. In accordance with the above, I sent the boats of the Grecian, with the pinnace of the Encounter (commanded by Lieut. Dew) under the command of Commander the Hon. G. D. Keane, to take possession of the junks, and bring them down under the Encounter' s guns , w hi c h he effected most judiciously ; and 1 take this opportunity of stating that from him I received every assistance that adroitness and promptitude could afford. 9. I think it my duty to call your attention to the con duct of Lieutenant Majendie, of her Majesty's sloop Grecian ; he was officer of the guard at the time the aggression took place, and on being sent for repaired to the spot with 10 marines, and there kept a considerable body of men at bay until reinforced ; and I feel it due to Lieutenant R. Dew, Ist Lieutenant of this ship, to men tion the promptitude and smartness with which the crew of the Encounter were landed. Advanced Post, Shanghae, April 5, 1854. 10. Since the above was written I have the honour fur ther briefly to inform you, that at the request of her Ma jesty's Consul, in wee:dance with the other Consuls, we have 'found it requisite to attack the Imperial camps near our boundary, which have been most gallantly taken. I have the no fi t el t d ir ni writing this to enter into details, 'as I a on 11. The Imperialists have retired in considerable force (4 to 5,000 men) to the main camp. My object will now be to defend the settlement, but the force at my disposal is small, and I urgently request a reinforcement, if possible some troops ; indeed so critical do I deem our position that I have resolved on ordering the Styx up, if the senior officer at Amoy can spare her. 12. I cannot too strongly praise the conduct of Com mander Keane, and Lieutenant Dew, who most gallantly stormed the very strong works thrown up. 13. I am anxious this should reach as soon as possible, and for this purpose the Nymph clipper will sail to-night or to-morrow morning. 14. Our available force is about 300 men with the Ame ricans. Captain Kelly with his gallant crew has operated with me in a most effective and cordial manner. I am much indebted to the gallant and steady conduct of him self, officers, and men, and to all under my command. (Enclosed is a list of the killed and wounded). Her Ma jesty's Consul and Vice-Consul—the latter with 40 gentle men of the settlement—have been with me in the field, and afforded me much assistance. . 15. I will take the earliest opportunity of afford ing you a more detailed account; but of this you may rest assured, that the extreme measures taken were positively requisite for the safety of the community.

A TREATISE on AS f11 . 31 - A and 4,n DISEASES of the HEART London : Longman, Brown, Green, and Longmans. • Sir,—l have the honour to inform you that I arrived off the port of Libau on the evening of May 10, in company with Ur Majesty's ship Conflict, and having received in formation from various sources that the town was defended by only 500 or 600 soldiers, and two or three guns, and that several Russian merchant vessels lay dismantled in the port, I determined to bring them out. On the morning of the 17th we stood in towards the en trance of the river, and by careful sounding with boats ahead succeeded in anchoring both ships within gun shot of part of the town. I then directed Captain Cumming to take a summons to the Governor, under a flag of truce, calling on him to surrender the merchant vessels within three hours. The Governor refused, but said that a final answer would be sent before the time specified in my let ter. At 3.30 P 11., Captain Cumming, who had informed me that there was a considerable body of troops in the town, again landed to receive the answer—a letter, which I enclose. On ascertaining its contents I took the armed boats of both ships, withCapt.Cumming in command of those of the Conflict, into the river. With the exception of oneor two the soldiers kept out of sight, and not a shot was fired. It was well for us that they did so, as we pulled up the creek, which was fifty yards broad, for one and a half miles before arriving at the shipping. I desired the authorities to point out the Russian vessels, of which I then directed Captain Cumming and Lieutenants Wodehouse and lore to take possession. I detained a small steamer (originally Russian, now owned by a Dane), got her steam up, and kept her as a refuge for the boats in case of an attack. The magistrates stated that they were induced to yield thus submissively, flout their being convinced that if they were to overpower us, a large force would be sent, and the town perhaps destroyed. The boats captured eight merchant vessels all new and well found, but dismantled, sails unbent, some scuttled and aground, nevertheless they were all brought out and taken in tow by Amphion and Conflict, before 9 p.m. The private property found on board was restored to the owners on application for it.

Sir,—The duty of summoning you to surrender the mer chant vessels in the port of Libau has fallen upon me. I would willingly spare the town and the lives of the inhabitants ; if, therefore, the steam-vessel, and all the Russian merchant vessels in the port (above and below the bridge), are sent out in their present condition, within three hours after the receipt of this letter, not a shot shall be fired. The men bringing them out shall be landed under a flag of truce. If at the expiration of that time this demand is not complied with, tho consequences rest with you. In which case I trust that you will cause the women and children to leave the town, and the invalids to be removed to some conspicuous building, which, if indicated by a flag, will be respected.—l have, &c., Approved. Enclosure No. 8, of No. 26. Barracouta, Singapore, April 28,1854. Sir,—l received on the 22nd your reports, dated on the 4th and sth instant, written from the scene of action, de scribing the operations and arrangements in which you had been engaged up to the latest of those dates, and con taining explanations of some of the circumstances which led to the very serious collisions you describe with the forces of an Empire at peace with her Majesty. On a full review of those communications, it is my duty to point out that it belongs to the Crown alone to declare war; and that the orders and instructions of the Admi ralty prohibit the commission of acts of hostility towards the subjects of foreign countries, and that naval officers will be held most strictly responsible for any departure from the lino of duty thus marked out. In the particular case comprised in your reports it is clear the seizure of the Chinese camps and junks were acts of hosti lity against the public forces of a State not only at peace with the Crown, but towards whom we are enjoined to show the utmost consideration. No such acts can be justified on the ground that they were recommended or called for by any consular officer. They can only be justified by the im mediate and unavoidable necessitibs of your position at the time, and it is by the proof you adduce of the existence of such necessities, that the Admiralty will judge of the propriety of such a departure from its positive injunctions. I have considered, as it is my duty to do, the circum stances you relate, and I am bound to acknowledge that they appear to have been such as to have left you no al er native, consistent with the safety of the interests you had been ordered to protect, but to pursue the course you took upon the 3d and 4th inst. ; but I must apprise you, that in cases of this nature, it is not for me to pronounce a con clusive judgment. With respect to the measures you took for effecting the objects you had in view, supposing these to have been jus tifiable, I am at liberty to form a more decided opinion ; and 1 have, therefore, to inform you that your personal conduct, and that of the gallant captain, officers, and men who co-operated with you from the United States' ship Plymouth, and the conduct of Commander Keane, and of Lieutenants Dew, Hemsted, Majendie, and Montgomery, and of the seamen and marines, and gentlemen-volunteers engaged on the occasions referred to, has elicited my warmest admiration • and I shall take an opportunity to bring to the notice Of the Admiralty the,. names of the 10 marines who so resolutely withstood the attacks of a very superior force upon the 3d of the month.—l am, &c.

Sub-Enclosure No. 2, in Sir Charles Napier's Letter, No. 107. Town Hall, Libau, May 17 (0, 1854. Sir,—The notification addressed by her Britannic Ma je,ty's Commander of the Amphion, to deliver up the Rus sian merchant vessels in the port of Libau, has been re ceived by the magistrates of this town, there being no mi litary or civil governor. The town of Libau being in a defenceless state, has no power to resist the demand. The peaceable inhabitants are compelled to submit them selves to any demands put to them ; they expect, however, that her Britannic Majesty's power will only undertake that which is consistent with humanity and honour. The ships demanded cannot, and'will not, be refused ; but it is entirely impossible to deliver them in the time prescribed, as the most of them are unrigged and lying on a swampy ground. Under these circumstances the magistrates can only re ply that her Majesty's Commander should convince him self of the impossibility, and resolve in which way the said merchant vessels are to be brought out of harbour. Trusting that meantime no hostilities will be under taken against the town and its inhabitants, I have, &c., In the name of the Magistrates of Libau, the presiding Burgomaster.

The sea was covered with charred timbers, hen-coops, floating hay, casks, and iron tanks containing biscuit. The contents of the latter remained on fire for some hours after the ship had disappeared. The presence of a cavalry detachment was manifested by picking up a trooper's stirrup, and a pair of fatigue trowsers, in the pocket of which was found a purse con taining some English money, and a receipt addressed to a farrier major, a copy or which I enclose. The stern of the ship appeared to have been blown out ; and the fire must have raged most fiercely in the after part ; for the mizenmast was burnt to a cinder, whilst the fore mast was comparatively uninjured by fire. The masts had gone overboard at some distance from each other, with the yards and sails hoisted up and sheeted home; some small spars lashed to the head of the mizenmast indicated pre parations for making a raft. Finding no appearance of any human being, and no relics of the boats, I felt dis posed to think' that the crew had made their escape in them, or had found their way on board some other vessel, and after having stood for two hours in the direction which it was assumed the boats would have steered, we fell in, with one adrift and abandoned, but quite new and sea worthy and unscathed by fire, containing a few oars and some vegetables. As a boat of this description would never have been abandoned unless the parties in her had found refuge in better quarters, I am of opinion that a portion, if not the whole of the crew and passengers of this unfortunate ves sel have escaped; and this 'opinion is strengthened by the fineness of the weather, the smooth water, and the num ber of ships that were passing in all directions during the previous day, both from and towards the scene of this melancholy disaster.—l have the honour to be, Sir, your most obedient and humble servant, (Signed) S. T. CARNEGIE, Captain. H. M. steam frigate Tribune. At sea, lat. 42 deg 20 N. lon. 10 55 W. sth Tune, 1854. Sir,—ln continuation of my letter of the 2nd instant, reporting the loss of the Europa by fire— I have now the honour to acquaint you that on the morning of the 4th, when about 120 miles north-west from Cape Finisterre, we had the pleasure of receiving from the British brig Clemanthe, Lieutenant Black, Ad miralty agent ; the master, two of the crew, and eight privates of the Ist Dragoons, in the Europa, and later in the day, from the Prussian schooner Kennett Kingsford, and the British barque Maranon, three officers, thirty five non-commissioned officers and privates, one servant and two women, with four officers and twenty-eight sea men, belonging to the Europa ; in all eighty-five, of whom sevety-seven are on board this ship,. and eight on board the Sir Robert Sale transport. I regret to add, that of the number originally embarked in the Europa, twenty-one have doubtlessly perished ; two officers (Lieutenant-Colonel Moore and Veterinary Surgeon Kelly) are amonst the missing, and six non-com missioned officers, ten privates, two of the ship's com pany, and one woman, have shared the same fate. The greater number of these were washed away from the wreck of the masts, to which they had clung, but Lieutenant Colonel Moore remained at his post to the last ; and having repeatedly declined to leave the burning vessel until all his men had been safely re moved, was at last driven into the mizen channels by the violence of the lames, and there unfortunately perished From the concurrent testimony of those left on the burning wreck from 11.30 p.m. of the 31st ult., to 2.30 a.m. of the Ist, it would appear that the conduct of the master (Mr. Gardner) was marked by great coolness and intrepidity throughout these trying hours; he was the last man to quit the wreck, and had his zealous endeavours to maintain order and save life been as ably seconded by his ship's company, there can be little doubt that the list of casualties would have been reduced. It is my intention to disembark the crew and passengers at Gibraltar, provided the Governor sees no objection. The soldiers are in want or many military necessaries, with which we are unable to provide them, and the Master is desirous of setting his crew at liberty as soon as possible. This ship is also so inconveniently crowded, that it is in all respects desirable to land our passengers without delay. Some of the soldiers are suffering from burns and bruises, but none beyond the reach of ordinary medical treatment. I enclose lists of those who perished, and those who sur vived the destruction of the Europa. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your most obedient humble servant, (Signed) S. T. CARNEGIE, Captain.

The following letter from Captain Gardner, the com• mander of the destroyed transport ship, was received yesterday by the owners, Messrs. Somes, of Black wall : Her Majesty's Ship Tribune, at Sea, June 7, 1854. Gentlemen It is my painful duty to communicate the total loss by 'fire of the Europa on the night of the 31st of May, and what is more distressing, the melancholy death of no fewer than 21 who were on board, namely, the lieutenant colonel of the regiment, the regimental surgeon, 16 of the troops, ono woman anditwo seamen. As you may naturally suppose, all due precaution was taken to guard against fire. Such is al*ays asserted when an acci dent of the sort takes place ; but I trust satisfactory proof will be shown from a court inquiry, held ou board . this ship yesterday, into the cause and origin of the fire, that strict orders were given to all on board. As yet nothing has been traced to show where the neglect has been. I will only state in this report, that on the day in question, viz., the 31st of May, the military officers were all suffering from sea sickness, with the exception of Colonel Moore, who with myself had visited the 'tweeu decks and lower hold se veral times that day, and at 9 p.m. we went and inspected every portion that could be examined in the lower hold. There was no appearance of fire, and we returned to the cabin with the conviction on our minds that the ship was perfectly safe, but scarcely an hour had elapsed before we were startled by the alarm of fire. .I immediately ran below, and discovered the fire burning fiercely in the fore peak, where we had stowed a quantity of hawsers, rope, tar, pitch, oakum, varnish, and sails. The officers, seamen, and soldiers were on the spot almost simultaneously with myself, and every one exerted every effort in their power to extinguish the fire. The force pumps, which had been fitted by orders of the Government to supply the troops with water from the tanks and butts in the hold had-hose' attached to them, and with those be longing to the ship's pumps, were taken 'below, and the_ jets directed in and upon the - burning mass. The troops also worked vigorously in passing buckets of water to those below to check the progress of the flames, but 0 no purpose. The tar, pitch, and other combustibles on igniting sent forth an overwhelming blase into the fore hold, and firing tho bulk of tow which was on board for padding the - horse stalls. The heat and smoke now became so great that all hands were forced to quit the lower hold ; many were almost suffocated. On reaching between decks we found flames ascending the fore hatchway in huge volumes, cutting off a ll communica tion with the ford part of the ship. As hope of saving the Europa from destruction was then past, and this, at the furthermost, was at half.past ten o'clock, just half an hour from the moment that tho alarm of fire was raised; this* will show the rapidity the firo gained. The volumes of smoke that ro lled up the main and after hatchway overhung the main deck like a cloud ; it was most suffocating, and the flames from both hatches chased us on to the poop.. I. have omitted to inform you that on my first coming on deck I ran the ship away before the wind, in order to near a barque and a brig that was to the leeward of us. The boats were lowered and filled with men. All were got clear except the longboat, which, fro lam the beginning, I saw it was impossible to get out. e boat was taken off the skidds on to the poop, from where we were compelled to launch it to save it from being burnt. It was then about half-past 11 o'clock ; the main deck was then in an ignited state, and the masts and rigging aloft were in flames: I still kept the 'ship before the wind, to near the vessels to leeward and to keep the firo forward. Nearly all on board had left the vessel by this time. Among them were all the officers of the ship, the adjutant, surgeon, and cornet of the troop, leaving Lieut.-Col. Moore, with the veterinary surgeon, and about 28 soldiers on board, ~/~ d2l-z [PRICE sp. besides myself, carpenter, one ordinary seaman, and the cook, on the burning wreck. Mr. Black (the Admiralty agent) and the second mate were in the last boat that quitted the ship. She was pulled away at half-past 11 o'clock. The mainmast went at two o'clock, then the foremast, and the ship rounded immediately afterwards. It was blowing very hard at the time, with a very heavy short sea on, raining heavily. I will not further dwell upon this painful moment than to add that as the ship rounded with head to wind, the fire spread over to where we were, and burnt us out, compelling us to seek shelter iu any way we could. A number of men took to the wreck of the mainmast, some were lost in attempting to make it. I, with the carpenter, got over to leeward, and found very great difficulty in getting under the weather channel, and making along the bands, to see if there was more unburnt wood to hold on by, but we were driven into the fore chains, the half of which were still unburnt. Suffice it to say that at three o'clock the boat of the brig Clementina, Captain Pike, came up, and took us out of the ford chains. The boat also picked up 10 men from off the spars of the wreck. One man died in the boat. The noble old lieuteuant-colonel, I regret to say, perished in the wreck. Several troopers implored him to leave the ship in the boats, but he would not leave his men, and shared their terrible fate. The men in the boats were picked up by the barque Mara nla of Dundee, and a Prussian schooner. Her Majesty's steamer, Tribune, took us off the brig on Sunday, the 4th inst., and on the circumstance being reported that the re mainder of the survivors were on board another vessel, she overhauled the barque and schooner and took all hands on board. I have no doubt numbers will be ready to attach blame to me,. both as regards the fire and loss of life. As to the latter, the lieut.-colonel is not saved. I alone am the only officer that lived to see the last. . When all-the facts are gathered and sent home, I will leave it to you to judge what amount of blame may be attached to, Your obedient servant, WILLIAM GARDNER, late Captain of Europa. To Messrs.

LETTER FROM AN OFFICER ON BOARD• The following letter has been received from an officer of the 6th Dragoons, saved from the wreck of the trans port ship Europa : Her Majesty's ship Tribune, June 8, 1854. Sir, —I have the honour to report, for the information of his lordship the Commander-in-Chief, the loss of the troop-ship Europa, No. 92, by fire, on the night of the 31st of May, 1854, about 200 miles from Plymouth, having on board the head quarters of the 6th Dragoons, bound for the East, under the command of Lieut.-Colouel W. Moore. The strength was as follows :—One field officer, one subaltern, throe staff—five ; five sergeants, 54 rank and file, two women, one private ser vant-62. Horses-13 officers', 44 troop-57. In stating the circumstances of the case, I regret to record the loss of Lieut.-ColonslW. Moose, Veterinary Surgeon Kelly, 4 sergeants, 12 rank and file, and one woman, with the whole of the horses, accoutrements, baggage, &c. We weighed an chor about 11 a.m. in Plymouth Sound, on Tuesday, the 30th May, 1854, and after being towed by a steamer a few miles, made sail, every arrangement having been made for the com fort of both men and horses, and precaution taken to guard against accident by fire. We continued our way until about 10 p.m. of the 31st, when the alarm was given that the ship was en fire in the fore hatchway. The ammunition was im meditately thrown overboard, and the crew and 'nen tried to extinguish the fire, but without success. In less than half an hour the flames were coming up the main hatch way, and the whole rigging forward ; indeed, iu a few minutes, the whole ship, from the poop forward, was in flames. The men then rushed to the boats, but were restrained by Lieutenant-Colonel Moore and the officers under his command, lA boat was filled with men and lowered by some of the crew, and I regret much to say that a num ber of them perished at this time. The life-boat was then loTiered by the men, with 25 in it, and was taken up during the night by the barque Maranon, of Dundee, who approached the burning ship. We had still two boats on board, but were unable to launch the larger one (horse-boat). The lashings of the other boat wore cut (Mr. Black, agent, and Cornet Thuson being in it), and was immediately filled with men, Dr. Macgregor and myself having to swim to the boat, as I was run off by a rope by one of the crew who trying to get on board. We drifted by the ship, and were made fast by a rope until we had 26 on board, when one of the crew cut us adrift to prevent the boat from swamping. We were carried cut to sea, leaving the captain and some men still on board. After about an hour's suffering from cold and rain (the sea running very high at the time), we were taken in tow by the mate and four of the crew, who had left the vessel in the Government gig, and then made for a light, which proved to be the Prus sian schooner Kennett Kinsford, bound for Port-au-Prince, and which was then about three miles distant, as I was in formed by the captain. We mustered on board this vessel 3 officers, 16 men, one woman, and about 26 of the crew; and reoeived every comfort and attention it was in their power to give until Sunday, the 4th of June, when we were taken on beard her Majesty's ship Tribune. The eight men who were picked up by the brig Clementhe were transferred to the troop ship Sir Robert Sale, on her way to the East with a division of the 4th Dragoon Guards, and are to be landed at Gibraltar. The men who were saved by the barque Mara non are also on board the Tribune, having lost all their regi mental necessaries except canvas trousers and frocks. I cannot conclude this letter without observing that the con duct of bcfli officers And men under these trying circum stances was most exemplary, and doubtless prevented a much greater loss of life. All others ou board the Europa were saved. I have the honour to be, sir, your most obedient, humble servant, - • A. WEIR, Lieutenant and Adjutant, 6th Dragoons. BLOCKADE OF RUSSIAN PORTS. FOREIGN-OFFICE, JUNE 16. It is hereby notified, that a,communication has been re ceived by the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, from Vice-Admiral Sir Charles Napier, commanding her Ma jesty's naval forces in the Baltic, dated Hango Bay, 28th May, 1854, informing their Lordships that the ports of Liban and Windau, on the coast of Courland, and other ports, roads, havens, or creeks, from lat. 55° 53' north, to as far north as Cape Dagger Ort, including the ports of Riga, Pernau, and all other ports, roads, havens, or creeks in the Gulf of Riga were then in a state of blockade by a competent force ; That all ports, roads, havens, or creeks, eastward from Cape Dager Ort, including Hapsal, Wormso Island, Port Baltic, Revel, and other intermediate ports on the coast of Esthonia, as far as Ekhohn Light [situated in lat. 59° 43' north, long. 25° 48' east]; and from thence in a north west direction as far as east; and Sveaborg, on the coast of Finland ; continuing westward, Baro Sound, Hango Head, Oro, and Abo, including the Aland Archi pelago and intermediate ports ; from thence north, includ ing Nystad, Biorneborg, Christinestadt, Vasa, Walgrund Islands, Little Carleby, lacobstad, Great Carleby, Lahts, Kalawki, Brahestad, Uleaborg, Karle Island, Tio, Ges tila, Tornea, Ned.

And it is hereby further notified that all the measures authorised by the laws of nations and the respective trea ties between her Majesty and the different neutral powers, will be adopted and executed with respect to all vessels which may attempt to violate the same blockade. MOUSTACHES AND LADIES' BONNETS.—Amongst the social follies of the day the moustache movement is ex tending to all ranks and conditions of men, to which no inconsiderable number add beards, some actually covering three-fourths of their faces with hair. Me chanics are nearly all adopting the moustache, and it is spreading to cabmen, cads of omnibuses, carmen , and all the oinnium gatierum of the lower class of society. It seems that the clerks of the Bank of England caught the infection, whereon each young gentleman so affected received a circular from head-quarters, politely inti mating that unless he appeared next morning with the objectionable appendage removed, he would be kind enough to send in his resignation. There was some grumbling, but, of course, every upper-lip appeared next day as clean as a lady's. The differences between the different styles of adorning the upper-lip is striking—some gentlemen curl up the ends, some curl them down, and some who are in the happy possession of good whiskers unite them with the upper lip. Others go to the ex tent of a beard, some are short and bristly, some are long, and cultivated with much care ; but the most, miserable things are the downy and hardly distinguish able emanations issuing from the upper-lips of gentle men with excessively light hair ! These belong to the class of the strivers after the impossible. Scarcely less curious is it to see the condition of the ladies' bonnets not much bigger than tidy little caps, which the Parisian grisettes wear on the back of their heads. The neat little net or perchance lace border, just coming over the crown, were introduced by the Empress of France. In a week they were all over Paris ; in a month all over France. Of course, they crossed the Channel in about twenty-four hours after their first debut in the windows of the Boulevard modistes ; and at this moment there is only, say, one woman in fifty through all London who have bonnets on their heads, that h as not rushed to be tobenbe netmaker's, and imperatively demanded allthe o perched on the back of them. Vain is satire— vain are all the jokes—vain even are the labours of Punch—the mania seems spreading day by ay, and the bonnets getting smaller than ever. There may be, of an excuse for per haps, some slight shadow y b oung l dies who possess beautiful black or fe locksairare lo beginning ut there is non e for old maids, whos to ex hibit a palpable tinge of grey ; and there is no excuse for respectable married ladies . from thirty to f or ty-fi ve se tting a bad exam p le to their daughters. But every lady and every woman in London will have the tiny bonnet, and servants slip out on the sly with them, and the veriest carroty-headed damsels will insist on ex posing the beauty of their locks to mankind.—London Correspondent of Inverness Courier. THE RUSSIAN PRIESTHOOD.—" The following fact," says the Pays, " will give an idea of the state of degra dation into which the lower class of the Muscovite clergy has fallen. A. Russian gentleman relates that when passing one day through a village, he saw a num ber of peasants assembled, and stopped to inquire the Cause. Oh,' replied one of them, it is only the priest whom we are go i ng t o lock up in the barn.' And why do you do that ?' Because it is Saturday. The priest is a drunkard, and we always lock him up on a Satur day, in order that he may be in a condition to perform Divine service on Sunday. On the Monday he is free to drink as he likes for the other days in the week. ELOPEMENT AND CAPTURE.—John M. Goff, one of the Irish constabulary, eloped during the past week with a young woman, named Ann Curran, whose parents reside near Bushaltown, county Carlow, Ireland. The lady, on leaving her father's house, took With her upwards of 2001. Information of the robbery having been for warded to Liverpool, the lady and her lover were taken into custody on their arrival here, en route for Australia, on Wednesday morning. - Liverpool Xercury. -/ /~ ~/~ «-~li i ~' ~ ; LAM INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, JUNE 16. (Sittings at Nisi Prius, after Term, before Lord Chief Justice Jervis.) This was the first day of the sittings after term. The cause list contains an entry of 62 causes, 21 of which are remanets, and 24 are marked for special juries. DISDALE v. BUCKINGHAM. This was an action brought by Mary Ann Disdale, the plaintiff, far a breach of promise of marriage against Am brose Buckingham, the defendant. The damages were laid at 2001. Mr. Serjeant Shea and Mr. Joseph Brown appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Macaulay, Q.C., for the defendant. It appeared from the evidence that the plaintiff and the defendant in 1847 had been fellow-servants at Sir Joseph Bayley's, in Belgrave-square, the -plaintiff as house maid, and the defendant as footman, when, as the Lord Chief Justice said in summing up, " being highly fed, and jhaving little to do, courting was a natural conse quence." Ambrose proposed to Mary Ann, and became her accepted lover. The interesting fact was made known in the servants' hall, and "all the other servants" treated them as an engaged couple. One of the plaintiff's fellow servants stated that in July, 1850, the plaintiff was in service at Lord Alfords's, at Ashridge-park, near Berkhampstead, when the defendant called to see her, anti was observed to kiss her as she entered one of the rooms, and said " he hoped it was the last time she would go into service." He also, en one occasion, gave her some studs for a habitshirt, took her to Cremorne, and introduced her sister to the lady's maids as his sister-in-law. In May, 1852, he told the sister the plaintiff was going to leave her place to be married, and that ho had got a first-rate business in an hotel, he having ceased to be a footman and become the proprietor of the Lansdowne Hotel at Leamington, in con sequence of the death of his brother. In July of that year the defendant wrote the following letter to the plaintiff : " Leamington, July 17, 1862. "My dear Polley,-1 tack the plesur of riten hopen to find you quit well as thank God It leaves me at this time. I Dear say you thought I must have been Ded as I have not wrote to you before, but I have been so bissey that my. time has been quit tacken up and when I have had any seer time It slipt my memeary but I often think of you I think that I shall be in London Next Week but Dont no for sertin I want to get sum cerkelers for the Hotel, if I should I shall send for you to meet me In London I hope you got the Paper all right. " This Is all at this time from your affecnt, " A. BUOSINQUAIif. " M. A. Disdell, Market Weston, East Harling, Norfolk." The plaintiff becoming tired of this long courtship, and learning that the defendant's position .was much improved, became, naturally enough, as the Lord Chief Justice said, " anxious to be doing something," and wrote to the die• fondant in September, inquiring the cause of his long delay in the marriage, and stating her intention of going to Leamington to see him unless he explained himself sativ factorily by letter. The defendant then wrote to her the following letter in answer Leamington, Sept. 15, 1852. "My dear Polley,—l send you with mutch plesur the Soverring and If It wos ten I wold do so but wot yon Aquse me of is quit rong but It is not the first time you have don so and with hout any Corse wothever this is all at this that I shall say Aney think of the Subject till I see you If you had the Money that I menched to you it would not Set me agenst you as the way that you Aquse me of Munney Huntin never entered my Head but preps you have Sum won Hels I yew you would Lick better wetch I have not nor Did I heaver think of Heaney won heals but you witch your one Sence mite of told you but this is all that I Shall Say on the Subect now If you will send me word wear you are I will mack it my Bisness to corn and see you and put all strat as for the money that you have had you are quit welcome and I remean your devoted " A BUCKINGHAM. " M. A. Disdell, 23, Queen-street, Brompton, London." About this time tho defendant in one of his interviews with the plaintiff wished her to take another situation, as she was then at home, telling her he had 4001. to raise to pay off his brother's share of the business, and that it would be many years before he could be married. The plaintiff then got another situation at St. Alban's, and wrote several letters to the defendant complaining of his neglect, and. his not marrying her because she had no money, and the following letter in answer was put in and read : " Leamington, October 8, 1852. " Dear Mary Ann—l tack the plesur of Tighten to you as praps It may be the Last time but I wish you well with all my Hart I Can Call god to Witness that all the time I wos keep Company with you I neaver thought of aney won eals but you and It wos alwies my Intenchion to have mar red you at sum time when I thought I could a done so and as I Have alwiss told you to bring to my one house, but wot you have aqusecl me of I think I neave could bo happy with you nor you with me, for in the first place you rote to me and said that you thought we had bean keep Company Long auuf and that you wanted to be doing something for Yor Self I told you when in London that as my brouther and me wos in Pardnerships to gether that on Less you had 3 Hundred Pounds I could not marry you and when you sod that you had not got that sum witch I noad that you had not I then told you that I could not marry on Less I could pay him to clear out not that I wos a Money Hunter. " M. A. Disdell, Lamer Park, St. Alban's, Herta." The effect of this communication, it was'said, so preyed on the plaintiff's mind that she was unable to remain in ser vice, and had gone into lodgings, when she ascertained that in October last th e d e f en d an t h a d married Miss Edwards, of Leamington, whose father was alleged to be a prosperous butcher in that town. This having put it out of the de fendant's power to perform his promise to the plaintiff, the present action was brought. Mr. Macaulay, for theThefence,contended that the time to have brought the action was after the last letter in Oc tober,lBs2, was written, when the engagement had evi• dently been broken off ; but the defendant preferred lying by until the defendant had married, and then bringing her action vindictively for revenge. He submitted she was entitled to the smallest possible damages. His Lordship, in summing up, told the jury to disregard the speeches of the learned council on both sides, which in those cases were steorotyped. The plaintiff was always at one time " raised to the pinnacle of hope," and at another " sunk in the abyss of despair," by the defendant's con duct ; and on the other side, it was usual to say" thesmall est coin in the realm would satisfy the damage she had sustained." Thojury must form their judgment from the facts proved, and give such damages as they thought the case required. The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—damages 50. • COURT CIRCULAR.
