An eminent nat irali4t and physio logist has lately put forth the nevel and startling theory that once in seven years tvery part de of the frame is entirely renewed, &though the process is gradual. Be this as it may, what is certain is, that men, like plants, in the spring reixive increased vigour and substance. The SPRING has always been remarked as a period when disease, if it be lurking in the system, is sure to show itself. The col Iness of winter renders torpid the acrimonious fluids of the body, and in this state of in ictivity their evil to the system is not perceived ; but at the spring these are aroused, and, if not checked, mix up and cir culate with the bloat, and thus the whole system is contaminated. PARR'S LIFE PILLS, judiciously taken for two or three weeks. Will rid the body of all that is moxious, and produce health and com fort. Pe , sons troubled with .corbutic affections are strongly td ',wised to try them at this time of the year ; in a fe w days they will perceive the powerful clearing and invigorating properties they possess. TO LADIES. FARR'S LIFE PILLS are especially efficacious in all the variety Of ailments incident Ito the fair sex. Ladies even of the most &B eate constitutions will find then oarticula , ly beneticial, both before and after confinement; and for general use in scho ,Is they cannot be too strongly reco mended. They mildly and speedily remove all Skin Eruptions, Sallowness of Complexion, Nervous Irritability, ick headache, Deoretsion of Spirits, Irregularity, or general Derange ment of the System.

The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful eV- Sequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man hood, and premature decay at all stages of Life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists Ito perusal is particularly recommended to persons entertaming secret doubts of their physical condition, and whe are conscious of having hazarded the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is entitled. It is absolutely necessary that all men should know, that there are principles of personal management which cannot he violated without incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its con , equ ene es may be avoided, and above all, that there i- scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely a i d of science cannot apply a cure. The Author has for a series of years been engaged in an extensive practice in the treatment of these delicate complaints, which are unfortunately teen too generally confided to the care of ignorant empirics, who inflict great injury on those who are induced to place faith in pretensions.

A political pamphlet with the above title, which has just been suppressed at Paris, continues to occupy the attention of political circles at the French capital. This brochure was published by M. Plon, and copies of it were actually sent to some of the leading journals of Europe, and even to some of the Paris journals. The Siecle, seeing its impor tance, intended publishing it in extenso. At a late hour of the night, orders were sent by the Minister of the Interior to the different newspaper offices, forbidding the editors to publish or even to allude to the pamphlet. All the copies at M. Plon's were seized, who himself appeared taken quite by sur prise at such a measure. The following is a copy 1. "As neither the moderation, nor the patience of the great Cabinets, nor the efforts of diplomacy, nor the au* ferings of industry and commerce, have sufficed to disarm an ambition which threatens the whole of Europe, it is necessary that the war which has become inevitable should be, at least, energetic and decisive. " A power whose foreign trade is very restricted, which possesses an extent of coast relatiiely very small, which has no colonies to protect, has been for half a century accu mulating formidable naval forces. Constantinople first, and then the Mediterranean countries are the object of all its attempts, andthe present Sovereign of Russia is prepar ingto act as executor of the will of the founder of his race. 14 Doubtless the resources of Russia are great, but it is from her annexed provinces rather than from the body of the monarchy that she draws her forces. The possession of Finland gives her the domination of the Baltic; the pos session of the Crimea makes her mistress of the Black Sea. By these means in the north, as in the south, she has be come a naval power of the first rank. Since the partition of Poland, the largest and richest portion of which she seized, she weighs upon Germany, which she hates and de spises. The Russian saying, when they speak of a German, is known God has used him ill enough ;he has made him a German.' Lately again, in the Hungarian war, the, pride of Russia deeply wounded the military spirit of Aus tria, and the armies of the Czar committed the error of rendering the memory of their services humiliating. " Thus, Russia advances westward, driving back European civilisation at each step. Is it by her borrowed elegance and bastard Christianity that she intends to impose upon civi lised nations? How has she made them forget the impudence and violence which stain most of her titles to possession ? Spoliation and despotism govern her conquered provinces. The fair daughters of Poland are periodically carried off and sent in tears to a far exile, to renew the blood of their conquerors. Those conquerors themselves, who are they? Some thousand corrupted patricians, bending fifty-three millions of men under the knout. A fanatical and servile clergy lives at the expense of this ignorant population, which is reg ularly exploited in every degree of the social hierarchy b y e ' the administrators and judges. Reforms are not possible, for in Russia despotism is strong in evil, and is powerless only to do good. The principle of authority, so auslutary when restricted within proper limits, is even vitiated there by this adulterous mixture of the sacred and the profane, which troubled, even to madness, the spirit of the Omura of Rome. " In the life of nations, prescription for injustice is never acquired. If the weaknesses of the French Cabinet under Louis XV. permitted the first dismemberment of the Turk ish empire and the first partition of Poland to the profit of the Czars, if the revolutionary agitations of 1792 pre ♦ented France from opposing the second dismemberment of the Turkish Empire, and the last partitions of Poland, it is for France of 1854, tranquil under a strong Govern ment, to repair as much as is in her power the faults com mitted in the preceding century. " France, in drawing the sword, demands nothing for herself ; she wishes nothing, she stands in need of nothing. The greatness of a country is not measured by the extent of its territory, but by the influence of its policy and the expansive force of its ideas. England, our cordial and powerful ally, do not expect anything either as the reward of her concurrence. Like us she acts in the sense of her national tradition, but also in the sense of the liberty of the world. " This disinterested attitude, supported by reiterated and solemn declarations, leaves no doubt upon the mind of any man. The Western Powers would only therefore be the more authorised to raise the question of remodelling the map of Europe. " Has not the moment come for openly declaring what all think and whisper below their breath ? What illusion does there still exist on the nature of the conditions upon which Europe must dictate a desirable and solemn peace, which will indemnify her for the sacrifices she is preparing to make? " To-day all eyes are opened. It is by the extent of the danger that the means of preventing its return must be measured. Thus, in taking arms, do peoples and Govern ments appear animated by OD* sentiment—inspired by one common strength, to put an end to that perpetual menace suspended over all the progress of the past—over all the interests of the future. It is quite clearly understood that it will not suffice to demolish the ships and the ports of Russia, but that it is still more necessary to drive her back especially towards Asia, far beyond her actual boundaries. " 11. " It is not in her centre that Russia is vulnerable : it is at her extremities. But if the blood is driven back towards her heart, she will choke. The head of the colossus is at Helsingfors, its right arm at Warsaw, its feet at Sebastopol. It is, then, Finland, Poland, and the Crimea that it is necessary to drag out of the clutches of the double-headed eagle. The loss of Finland is an ever-bleeding wound in the flank of Sweden, for she beheld that fine province torn away from her piecemeal, from whence Russia draws nearly the whole of her maritime population, and her timber. It is in Finland that the reprisals of aroused Europe must com mence, and the restitution of that country to its ancient owners would be an act of policy the prudence and justice of which none dare gainsay. A line drawn from Viborg to the gulf of Onega would become on that side, in the north, the extreme limit of Russia. The country of Gustavus Adolphus and of Charles XII. would resume the rank so long and so worthily occupied in the councils of Europe. " If it were possible to restore the ancient Polish nation ality, so great an act of reparation would make all generous hearts beat with pulsations of joy. But in the actual state of affairs such an attempt would assuredly give rise to complications and difficulties more serious still than those before which Napoleon I. himself hesitated. At least, Poland turned against her mortal enemy, would she not serve to guarantee the independence of Germany? "Thee ensure of precaution which gave to Prussia the Duchy of Posen will only be good when completed. Evs n reduced to its present limits, what strength would not Poland bring to Europe, if, united for the future to Prussia, she were to drive back beyond the Niemen and the Bug her ancient oppressors, and become again on that side the advanced guard of civilisation. "Besides that a new maiming of this noble body, already so cruelly mutilated, would wound public feeling in France and in Europe, it appears that the idea of annexing to Prussia all that remains of Poland is justified not only by geographical position, but also by relationship of race, language, and religion, which approximates the Poles to the inhabitants of Posen and of Silesia. Condemned at present to the silence of the slave and to a political death, Poland would then have a place and a deliberative voice in the assemblies of a State which has given so many proofs of religious toleration and of a wise spirit of progress. " In the south, Austria would add Moldavia and Bes sarabia to her empire, and extend her frontiers to the Dniester. She would gain fertile provinces, and on the Black Sea coasts and ports, which would wonderfully tend to the development of her marine, whilst, by the posses. sion of Galatz, and of the mouths of the Danube, she would profit by the transit of the produce of Central Europe. A separate convention would regulate, as just, the commercial interests of all the European States, and be put in harmony with the principle for the future acquired for the free navigation of the Black Sea. It is superfluous to demonstrate how, in con sequence of this addition to Austria beyond the Danube, Constantinople would acquire a more sure barrier than the Balkan range. "If it is objected. that the Ottoman Empire would thus lose its right of sovereignty over Moldavia, the magnifi cent indemnity offered to it must be considered. In Europe, the Crimea, the object of its constant regrets, with the oriental shores of the Euxino. In Asia, the trans- Caucasian countries where the Russians have established themselves, to take Constantinople in the rear. The effect of this double restitution would be to assure the indepen dence of the brave mountaineers of the Caucasus, who, with their own resources alone, have competed for twenty years against the Muscovite forces. " Thus would be closed to Russia that road towards Persia and India which she has tracked out for herself with so much perseverance and zeal. On the Black Sea her only remaining possession would be the coast comprised be.; tween the mouths of the Dniester and the Dnieper. But she would still retain Odessa, Nicolaief, Kherson—that is to say, sufficient marts for her export trade, and arsenals for her navy, reduced to proportions still worthy of a great people, but no longer threatening to the peace of the world " Would it be presuming too much upon the wisdom of Austria, to think that in exchange for the aggrandisement of her territory, and the extension of her commerce and of her marine, she would relinquish Lombardy ? Milan united to Piedmont would strengthen, without peril to any one, a second rate State, the prosperity of which is important to France. Is it nothing to avoid conflicts with Switzerland, to give satisfaction to the national sentiment of Italy, and thereby to deprive the revolutionary element of one of its pretexts, and perhaps of the most apparent of its grievances ? The Venetian State, moreover, which covers Friouli and Illyria, would remain to Austria, under the conditions of the treaty of Campo Formio. Her empire would extend unbroken from Venice to Ackerman, from the mouths of the Adige to those of the Dniester. At her two extreme points she would touch two seas, ope of which, the most necessary to her, is now closed to her. " 111. " Such is, inn few words, the ensemble of the measures which would appear the best calculated to establish the balance of power in Europe upon its true bases, compro mised to•dey by the preponderance of Aussie. Those Who may feel inclined to regard this plan as chimerical, we ask of them whether, upon their conscience, they believe it possible to preserve the statu quo, after the great war now preparing ? Not one of the proposed remodellings here could become a cause of division between the two Western Powers, nor a danger for the one or the other. The balance would be maintained between the two German states, which, ag grandising themselves in the sense of the Slave element, and in a proportion nearly equal, would bring no newtrouble,no new pretension into the body of the Germanic Confedera tion. Sweden would be strengthened by the restitution of Finland, the Ottoman Empire by that of the Crimea and of the line of the Caucasus. Constrained to restore the usurpations of a century, the aggressor alone would suffer from an arrangement which in the north, in the west, and in the south, would be carried out at his expense. " A definitive war can then alone decide this Eastern question, which Russian ambition has made a continual subject of anxiety to civilised nations. The war will be followed by the sovereign deliberations of a European Congress. May the means that we propose be considered as the best to attain the solution se ardently desired. To wish only that which is just, but to wish it with resolve — that is the simple secret of a provident and firm policy. " It is necessary that it should no longer be in the power of one man to trouble the safety of all with impunity." PREPARATIONS FOR WAR. SOUTHAMPTON, MARCH 20. The following officers, attached to the British Expe ditionary Army of the East, embarked to-day from this port by the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam ship Indus for Malta :—Paymaster Whiffen, Deputy- Paymaster Hawker, Commissary W. Young, Assistant- Commissary Mores, Deputy-Assistant-Commissaries Aynge, Watt, Blackwood, Wright, Petgieter, Blakeney, and Holloway ; Deputy-Commissaries-General Ramsay and Stickney ; Hon. Captain Maxwell, M.P. ; Rev. Messrs. Lawless, Mackles, H. Egan ; Sergeants Rogan, Yellow, Hayler, and Hughes. The whole of the baggage of General Brown has also been shipped by this steamer. PORTSMOUTH, MARCH 20. The Boscawen, 70, Captain Glanville, fitted her new mainyard yesterday, and sailed this morning to join the Baltic fleet. She was completely manned, having re ceived the draughts which made up her crew to 650. The Cesar, 91, screw two-decker, Captain Robb, was paid advance at Spithead to-day. She wants about 100 to complete her crew to 950. The Prince Regent, 90, Captain Smith, C. 8., is refitting her rigging at Spithead. She wants about 200 to make up her complement to 920. The Penelope steam frigate, if paid off, will place a first-class crew of up wards of 300 men at the disposal of the Admiralty. It has been contemplated to make the Penelope available for troop service, but she could only carry 300 or 400, and has no accommodation for officers, unless a poop were added to her, which would occupy valuable time and labour, and, after all, be of very little utility. The Desperate, 8, screw corvette, Captain Chambers, was in spected at Spithead this morning by Vice-Admiral Sir T. Cochrane, K.C.8., prior to her departure for the Baltic. The Gorgon, 6, paddle-sloop, Commander Cum ming, commenced swinging to-day for the adjustment of her compasses. The Heels, 6, paddlewheel sloop, Cap tain W. H. Hall, will have a complement of 135, which we believe is nearly made up: WOOLWICH, MARCH 20. DEPARTURE OF ROYAL ARTILLERY. The six horse transport-ships were visited yesterday at their moorings off the Royal Arsenal by Rear-Admiral Dundas, C. 8., and Captain Alexander Milne, Lords of the Admiralty, who were accompanied by Captain Su perintendent B. Martin, C. 8., of Deptford dock and victualling-yards, Their lordships remained about two hours on board, and afterwards returned to town. The whole of the ships left their mooring at 4 o'clock p.m., and were towed down the river by tugs on their way to the Mediterranean.

HOWARD, SURGEON-DENTIST, 52, FLEET-STREET, has introduced an ENTIRELY NEW DESCRIPTION of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without springs, wires, or :igatures. They ro perfectly resemble the natural teeth, ta not to be distinguished from the originals by the closest observer; they will never change colour or decay, and will be found superior to any teeth ever before used. This method does not require the ex traction of roots, or any painful operation, and will suppart and pre serve teeth that are loose, and is guaranteed to restore articulation and mastication. Decayed teeth rendered sound and useful in mas tication. 52, FL'. ET-STREET.—At home from Ten till Five.

PRESTON, March 20.—Speculation was rife on Satur day night with respect to the movements of the borough magistrates, who were sitting for some hours with closed doors. The meeting did not take place in the Town hall, where the petty sessions are held, but in the adja cent council-chamber ; and it was observed that during the proceedings a number of recently arrived immigrants were brought up is a cab and ushered into the presence of the bench. As yet nothing definite has transpired, but it is currently reported, and generally believed, that the conference had reference to the contemplated appre hension of some of the operatives' leaders for conspiracy, in removing hands imported by the Masters' Association. The income of the power loom weavers yesterday amounted to about 2,100/., the chief subscriptions being as follow :—Blackburn, 6601. ; Stockport, 255/. ; Pres ton, about 170/. ; Over Darwen, 1241. ; Ashton-under line, 1201. ; Hyde, 116/. ; Oldham, 100/. ; Church Parish, 561. ; Staleybridge, 531.; Accrington, 311. ; Bol ton, 301. ; Burnley, 28/. ; Heywood, 261. Owing to the inclemency of the weather the camp meeting at Droylsden yesterday was not so largely attended as had been anticipated. Mr. Luke Wood, of Stockport, presided, and addresses were delivered by Messrs. Walton, Brocklehurst, Gritnshaw, Smith, Cowell, Aitkin (of Ashton under-Lyne), and Graham (of Gorton-hall). The following resolution was passed : " The people of Lancashire, Cheshire, and Derbyshire, in public meeting assembled, hereby declare their unalter able resolve never to cease agitation until a full, fair, and unconditional 10 per cent. be conceded to the factory ope ratives of Preston ; and this meeting pledges itself to ren der all the assistance in its power, pecuniary or otherwise, until success crowns their efforts." This morning an innkeeper at the outskirts of the town offered the use of a field adjacent to his house for a meet ing. Several thousands had assembled at noon, when Mr. Cowell announced, that "in consequence of the pressure from without," the innkeeper had been reluc tantly compelled to revoke his offer, and the meeting could not be held there. Mr. Cowell added—" It will be high time for us, when we resume work, to look to our own interests, and not be beholden to those men who own all the property, and who deny us the right to meet for the discussion of our grievances. I hope the working classes will take a hint from these things, and hereafter provide a meeting place of their own." In dismissing the peo ple, Mr. Cowell said, " I hope you will, each and all, mind what you say and what you do, for the police are out in plain clothes to entrap those who are not on their guard. I understlnd, also, that the authorities are trying to get up some charge of con spiracy against myself and a few others. Well, they may do so ; I don't say that they cannot do it. But they can't imprison us before next August, and by that time, I hope, we shall have our 10 per cent. and be peaceably at work. Let us go quietly on, as we have done hitherto, and you may depend upon it we shall be able to live as long as the manufacturers can afford to let their machinery stand." The crowd then diapered. [BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.] PRESTON, MONDAY EVENING:—CoweII, Grimshaw, and Waddington, leaders of the strike, have just been appre hended. The charge against them is not yet known, but it is supposed to be for conspiracy. The people at present are not aware of their arrest. DEATH IN NEWGATE.—Mr. Frederick de Molyns, formerly a member of Parliament for the county of Kerry, and nephew of an Irish peer, died suddenly in Newgate on Friday night last. It will be recollected that he was committed to that prison by the Lord Mayor from the Mansion-house, on the charge of having uttered a forged power of attorney, and obtaining thereon the amount of 1,5001. stock, &c., in the Bank of England, belonging to a person of the name of Simp son. Mrs. Lucy De Molyns, his wife, was likewise arrested, and committed on the same charge, but, pro viding the necessary bail for her appearance at the next Central Criminal Court sessions, she was liberated. Mr. De Molyns was unable to procure the extent of bail de manded (4,0001.), and was in consequence conveyed to Newgate. An inquest was held on Saturday afternoon by Mr. Payne, the coroner, on the body of the deceased, when a verdict of "Natural death" was recorded. FAILURE.--The failure was announced yesterday of Messrs. Benjamin Elkin and Sons, a very old and re spectable mercantile firm, chiefly engaged with the West Indies and Australia. Their liabilities amount to 140,0001., and the disaster is the result of large advances to correspondents in Demerara, Jamaica, &c., and not of any losses in their Australian business, which is un derstood to have been good. The nominal assets are ample, taking the debts due to the house at their full amount ; but it is feared that the value of these is very doubtful, and that the ultimate settlement will therefo:re prove unfavourable. `- L~ ~'° ~....D ' c%' i' [plum SD. LAW INTELLIGENCE, March 20. EQUITY COURTS. (Before Vice Chancellor Kinderaley.) THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY COMPANY V. THE OXFORD, WORCESTER, AND WOLVERHAMPTON RAILWAY COMPANY. Upon the 4th of August, 1845, an act of Parliament passed whereby the shareholders of the Oxford, Worces ter, and Wolverhampton Railway Company were incor porated for the purpose of constructing a railway from the city of Oxford to the town of Wolverhampton. The proposed railway was to be a continuation of the Great Western line, the proprietors of which were to be at liberty to take shares in it to the extent of 750,000/. which was a moiety of the entire capital—and the en gineer for the time being of the Great Western Railway was to superintend its construction. The line was to be constructed on the broad guage principle, except in two particular portions of it, viz., where it was to meet the Birmingham and Gloucester and the Grand Junction Railways. The defendants, however, commenced making their line throughout upon the narrow guage, upon which this suit was instituted, and, in addi tion, an information filed against them to compel them to adhere strictly to their act. This was a motion to amend the bill by making the Attorney-General a plain tiff in the suit, in order that the public interest might be protected. The Solicitor-General and Mr. G. L. Russell supported the motion. Mr. Bolt, Q.C., and Mr. Jessell, on the other side, contended that the public interest was sufficiently protected by the surveillance which the Board of Trade exercised over the line in the course of its construction. The Vice-Chancellor said that this application was in fact to decide whether or not the Attorney-General was a party necessary to the cause ; that was to say, whetter a decree made while he was not a party would be made in the absence of any one who ought to be represented. As to the nature of the decree which might be made, he could and ought not to say a word ; the question, therefore, resolved itself into this, how far would any decree made in the present state of the suit, by affecting the public interest, require that the public should be represented before the court. Now upon referring to the Act of Parliament giving the Board of Trade the right of disallowing the opening of a line, it appeared to him that, so far as the court was at present informed, the public was sufficiently protected. Whilst, therefore, his Honour decided that, in file present position of the matter, the motion was not to be granted, he reserved to himself the right of di recting the Attorney-General to be made a party, if, upon the hearing of the cause, he should have reason to believe that the interest of the public required that that officer should be a plaintiff. The motion being, for the present, not acceded to, the Solicitor-General proceeded to open the case upon its merits in moving the court for a decree. The opening was not concluded when his Honour rose. (Before Vice-Chancellor Sir John Stuart.) TOMKINS V. LANG. Mr. Waley appeared in support of a petition in this suit, stating that in the administration of the testator's estate two sums of money had been carried to the sepa rate account of two legatees, who had been convicted of felony, and had been transported, and whose interests had therefore been forfeited to the Crown, and praying that these sums might be paid out to such persons as the Crown should by sign manual appoint. Mr. Wickens, on behalf of the Crown consented, and The Vice-Chancellor made the order as prayed. G~- ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HOME CIRCUIT—MAIDSTONE, MARCH 20. (Before Mr. Baron Parke.) CRANE v. BUTLER. This was an action for ejectment for breach of cove nants in the lease of a house as to insurance, and to repair. The plaintiff only purchased the property on the 17th January last, and having ascertained that it was not in sured, the action was brought on the 23d of the same month. And the alleged defective repair was shown by a survey made some weeks after the action was com menced. The main question in the case was whether a letter addressed by the plaintiff's solicitor to the defen dant, but delivered to his wife (he being absent in prison at the time), requiring the production of the policy of insurance, was a reasonable and sufficient notice under the covenant. The jury held that such notice was not a reasonable and sufficient notice ; and with reference to the repair of the premises found a verdict for the defendant. Mr. M. Chambers and Mr. Lush for plaintiff; Mr. Willes for defendant. AIRAHAMS V. WALTER. This was an action for false imprisonment. The plaintiff is a general dealer at Chatham, and the defendant a major in the 53d Regiment, and at the time the alleged offence was commanding the depot at Chat ham. It appeared that in December, 1852, the servant of Major Walter had deserted, taking with certain articles of clothing belonging to his master, and among other things a pair of wings, which had been sold to the plain tiff, who had bought them under the impression, as he alleged, that they had been sent for sale by the owner. When the servant of Major Walter was brought up before the magistrates at Rochester on charge of the felony his master charged the plaintiff also with felony, for receiving the wings, knowing them to he stolen, but the magistrates dismissed the charge. This was the imprisonment complained of. The plaintiff was the only witness called, and was subjected to a severe cross-examination. The Judge held that there was reasonable and pro bable cause for the charge, and directed a nonsuit. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS—March. 20. The sittings of the court for the March general ses sion was resumed this morning at the Guildhall, West minster, by adjournment from Clerkenwell, before Mr. Serjeant Adams, assistant-judge, Mr. Witham, Mr. Turnley, and other magistrates. There were 101 prisoners for trial. MR. HORRY off.ND THE BAB. In the course of the morning, The Assistant-Judge said he had written to Mr. Clarkson with reference to the statement made by Mr. Horry, at Clerkenwell, that it was a common practice for the members of the bar at this and the other criminal courts to receive instructions from prosecutors without the employment of an attorney ; and that Mr. Clarkson had written to him in reply denying that any such prac tice prevailed among the bar. Mr. Horry said if the records of Mr. Clark's office at the Central Criminal Court were searched it would be found that such had been the case. The Assistant-Judge added that he had caused in quiries to be made into the three cases in which it had been said he had allowed the costs under such circum stances, and he found that Mr. Horry was the counsel in each of them. (Before Mr. Witham.) MB. BARON ALDERSON'S WIG. George Pow les was indicted for stealing a wig, the property of Sir Edward Hall Alderson, one of the Barons of the Exchequer. It appeared that a person in the employ of Mr. Wetherell, wig dresser, 47, Carey-street, Lincoln's-inn fields, left the wig in question in the passage of the judge's room at the Court of Exchequer, in a box, which was marked " Mr. Baron Alderson," on the even ing of the 21st of February. On the following morning the servant of the court keeper found the box in the passage, but the wig was gone. The same morning the prisoner sold it to a person named George, who stated that he was a news agent, for a shilling ; and the wit ness, to account for his making the purchase, said the prisoner knew that he had been in the habit of presiding as judge at " judge and jury" societies. In consequence of an advertisement the wig was given up to Mr. Wetherell, and the prisoner was charged. The wig was produced, and some amusement was occasioned by the dilapidated condition it was in. Mr. Witham asked the witness George where he had been " judge ?" The witness replied at the Bagnigge-wells Tavern, and other places. Mr. Witham inquired how long it was since he had been "judge " at the Bagnigge Wells ? The witness answered that it must have been more than ten years ago—in the time of a Mr. Burnman. H e had also been judge at the Chequers, inAbingdon-street, and the Blue Anchor, in York-street. He had left it off now. Mr. Witham asked him how long it was since he had last presided at one of these places ? The witness replied about four years. Mr. Witham said it seemed strange to him that the prisoner should have gone to him to sell the wig after he had been so long out of the " profession." (Laughter.) The witness said he had known the prisoner 13 years. The prisoner, in his defence, said he went one morn ing to see the soldiers start from the Waterloo-statio n, and three gentlemen got out of a cab, and, clapping the wig on his head, asked him how he should like to wear it. He walked about the streets with it on his head, and offered it to several Jews for sale, but they would not buy it, and he at last went and asked Mr. George to become the purchaser. The jury acquitt e d hi m on this charge, but there were two other indictments against him, on one of which, charging him with stealing a cart seat, he was found guilty, and sentenced to nine months' hard labour. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. CLERKENWELL.-IVIr. Proctor, an inhabitant I householder, applied to the sitting magistrate, Mr. Corrie, for his advice and a ssistance under th e following circumstances. On returning home one day last week, he found to his great surprise a man in possession for Queen's taxes. Being in no arrears of any kind for any taxes whatever, he produced to the sheriffs' officer his tax receipts down to the last quarter of 1853. It then appeared that the warrant of distraint had been put in for taxes levied in 1852, and for flaw it so happened that the racoipt of the oglootor lan tnialial ~_ t / though the receipt of thip;:rious and subsequent year sufficiently established the presumption that the taxes of the intermediate one, 1852, had also been duly paid. On application to the sheriff and under-sheriff, they expressed their regret that Mr. Proctor should be sub jected to a second demand of such a nature, but their orders from the board at Somerset-house were impera tive, Mr. Scott, the collector of the Queen's taxes for this district in 1852, had proved a defaulter to Govern ment, and they were enforcing these demands on all tax payers coming under the same liability or not being exempted by the date and effect of the receipts in their possession. Mr. Corrie expressed his regret that it was not in his power to afford applicant any relief. He did think it high time that such a state of the law on this sibject should be altered. It was a scandal that they who had duly paid their taxes once should be called on to pay them over again by reason of the default of third parties, although these latter were elected by the p ar i s h or dis trict. Had Mr. Proctor communicated with the present district collector ? Mr. Proctor stated he had been referred backwards and forwards from one party to another, but without any redress, although they had taken a note of his case at Somerset-house. He could not find that any instruc. tions for his relief had been issued. What much added to his annoyance was, that for the 1/. 15s. alleged to be due from him, they had put a man into another house belonging to him as well as that in which he resided, and distrained on furniture which belonged to tenants or lodgers —not to himself. Mr. Corrie said in cases of this sort they could unques tionably go upon any property found on the premises. He recommended applicant to renew his representations to the proper authorities. It was much to be deplored that such should be the state of the law, but he had A• power to afford Mr. Proctor a remedy. MA RLBOROUGH-STREET.—Henry Forrester, No. 1, Gloucester-terrace, Brompton ; John Frampton, No. 30, Esher -street ; Frederick Barnett, alias Francis _Mown, 6, Caroline-street, Bedford-square ; Henry Bar. nett, alias Henry Brown, 41, Mortimer-street ; George Chapman, door keeper ; William Hersey, and John Clark, door keepers, were brought before Mr. Bingium, charged with having been found in a common gaming. house, the Princes Club (late the Feathers), No. 162, Piccadilly. The two Barnette are the reputed proprie tors of the place. Mr. Sleigh was in a ttendanc e . f or t h e d e f en d ants. Mr. O'Brien, Superintendent of the C division, having produced the Police ommissioners'authority to enter the house, said about 1 o 'clock on Su n d ay morning he went to No. 162, Piccadilly, known as R o b y ' s, the bootmaker ' s. The hall door was open, and witness, accompanied by In spector Lester and several police constables, wen t i n . Th e next door had glass windows to it, through whi c h w it,. ness was enabled to beckon to one of the defendants to open it. This person, before opening the door, went to another door, and appeared to ring a bell, after which he opened the door, and witness went towards a third door, which was forced by the police. This door w as secured with iron bars and plates, and was very st . rong. A fourth door was about to be forced, when it wae opened by one o f t h e d oor k eepers . Thi s door was li ned with sheet i ron , an d h a d very strong f as t e nings, and was supplied with a traversing lever. Witness and consta bles went up stairs into a first floor room, apparently fitted up as a billi ar d- room, all the windows of which were supplied with strong shutters and bars. The de fendants, Forrester and Frampton, were arrested in this room. In a room on the second floor, fitted with a door four inches thick, the two Barnette, who gave the Name of Brown, were taken into custody. On searching them several securities and a considerable sum of money were found. There was a water closet on the second floor. The defendants were searched and the premises were searched, but no gambling implements were found. Mr. Bingham—The defendants are discharged. HAMMERSMITH.—Two German musicians, named John Beart, aged 19 years, and Michael Price, aged 18, who carried their instruments in their arms, were charged with having assaulted Mr. Spiniola Gambar della, an artist, residing at No. 22, Sussex-place, Ken sington New Town. The complainant, whose nose was strapped with adhe sive plaster, deposed that for the last year a great num ber of the German brass bands had visited the street in which he lived, and had annoyed him very much in his profession byiplaying upon their instruments, and latterly the number had so increased that it was quite impossible for him to paint, as their music was so very loud. He had frequently ordered them away, but they invariably refused to do so. On Tuesday last the prisoners, who formed part of a band of six Germans, came very near his house, and created a great noise with their trumpets and large instruments. He asked them quietly to go away, but they refused ; and he sent for a constable but he declined to interfere. He spoke to the prisoner Beart to leave the place, but instead of doing so he turned himself round as if in an attitude to fight him. He went to the station and the band afterwards left, and they kept away from the street all the week. That morning they came again and commenced playing near his house. He went to them and desired them to leave off playing, and said they could not stop there. Thel again refused to go, and be then took hold of Beart shoulder and slightly pushed him, and told him he could not remain there. The prisoner then struck him with his instrument, and he then struck him with his fist in self-defence. The whole of the band (six) then com mericed throwing stones at him, and one of them, thrown by the other prisoner (Price), struck him upon the oridge of the nose and cut it. A constable then came up, and he gave the prisoners into custody. The witness then added that a gentleman at No. 19 had been in the habit of encouraging the prisoners and other bands for the pur pose of annoying him, and gave them shillings to remain. In answer to questions from the bench, Mr. Gam bardella said he could not do anything in his house for the noise. He could not paint, and when he desired them to go away he told them as a reason he could not proceed in his lawful pursuits in consequence of their noise. Thomas Darby, a page in the service of the com plainant, was then called, but he did not witness the assault, as it was alleged to have been committed while ho was gone for a constable. He, however, said that his master's nose was not cut before he was sent for a police man. The prisoner and his companions were making a great noise with their instruments when his master or dered them away. The prisoner Beart (in broken English) said the cona• plainant first struck him with his stick or cane he had in his hand. He denied that any stones were thrown. His companion was a German, and could speak only very little English. A gentleman named Thomas Deverall, of No. 19, Sussex-place, volunteered as a witness in the prisoners' behalf. He said he had the men playing before his house for the amuse men t o f hi s th ree children, and not for the annoyance. His house was three doors from Mr. Gambardella's, who he had never spoken to until that morning, and if that gentleman had written to him stating that the *uric was an annoyance to him, he would have taken care not to have encouraged it, but he never received any notice to that,effect. The complainant came out, ordered the men away, which they refused to do, and he then struck Beart with his cane, and also ill-used two others of the band, who were mere boys. Beart retaliated, and he (witness) be lieved the cut on the complainant's nose was caused by the prisoner's fists. No stones were thrown. Maria Banks, servant of the last witness, corroborated his ~tatements, which were denied by the plaintiff, who said that these two witnesses had committed perjury. Mr. Paynter said it was quite clear, that the com plainant had taken the law into his own hands, which he ought not to have done, as he had the remedy, and could have summoned the prisoners and recovered a penalty. The clause in the act mentioned "on account of illness or for other reasonable cause." Now, the complainant had not stated that there was any illness in his house, but that it interfered with him as an artist. He had some doubts whether his being an artist came within the term of " other reasonable cause," as it seemed to imply something more than the ordinary occupation of persons. If it were so, it would amount to an actual prohibition of street music, which was n ot the law. He should discharge the prisoners, and if the complainant liked he could indict Price at the sessions, but after what had been stated by the witnesses for the defence, he was of opinion the jury would throw out the bill. The worthy magistrate then added that if Mr. Deverall had music before his house it would be desir able to have as little of it as possible, but he (Mr. Payn. ter) could not sa y th a t h e was b oun d to discontinue The prisoners were then discharged.

DREADFUL ACCIDENT AND Loss OF LIFE AT WBsT. MINSTER. —Yesterday morning the workmen engaged in enlarging Messrs. Kay's manufactory observed a party wall give tokens of insecurity, and before they had time to effect their escape a stack of chimneys fell with a tre mendous crash, burying the men beneath. William Wes ton was crushed to death. A body of men were set to work, and after almost superhuman exertions, found James Comb, who was conveyed to Westminster Hos pital, without any hope of recovery. Shortly after, another man, named Edmonds, was conveyed home by police-constables 47 B and 157 B. The workmen con tinued till a late hour busily engaged in removing the debris, to s'e whether any other unfortunate men were beneath, as some were still missing.
