METROPOLITAN WEBS. COMMISSION OF SE A special court of sewers was held yesterday at the Court-house, Greek•street, Soho ; Mr. Richard Jebb, the chairman of the commission, presiding. The other commissioners present were Lieutenant-Colonel Dawson, Mr. G. S. Smith, Mr. T. F. Gibson, Mr. Thos. Hawes, and Mr. L. Redhead. The first business brought before the court was the consideration of a recommendation of the general corn raittee as to a loan of 150,000/. to be made to the commission by the Rock Life Assurance Company, upon conditions specified in an intended agreement between the commissioners and that company. The court, after reviewing the past proceedings in the matter, ordered its seal to be affixed to the deed above-mentioned, and also to a mortgage or mortgages to be made in pursuance thereof. DISSOLUTION OF THE COMMISSION. Lieutenant-Colonel DAwsoN said that he wished to make a few remarks on a different subject from the one that had just engaged their attention. It would be recollected that the chairman of that commission ad dressed a letter to the Home-office on the 23d of Au gust last, which stated :—" Whilst most of the present commission are desirous of being relieved as soon as possible from their duties as commissioners, it is con ceived that, apart from all personal considerations, the final decision upon the large and important works to be carried out, with the additional means intended to b e provided by the act of the last session, and the several measures incidental thereto, should he allowed to devolve upon the new body rather than to rest with the present commissioners, whose tenure of office will be too short to enable them to become responsible for the execution of the works referred to. On the ether hand, any avoidable delay in the commencement or prosecution of those works will probably be deemed highly inexpe dient. Under these circumstances, the commissioners, whilst prepared to put matters in train for enabling their successors to conduct the public business without interruption or delay, would beg to represent to your loidship (Lord Palmerston) that the early issuing of the new commission becomes a matter of importance." This letter be thought well expressed the views and feelings of the retired commissioners, to whom it could not but be a source of satisfaction to know that they had fully discharged all the duties which, under the circum stances in which they had recently been placed, properly devolved upon them, viz. the providing not only of well considered plans for the main arterial drainage of the metropolis, and freeing the Thames from pollution, but also of ample funds for the commencement, at least, of these great works. (Hear, hear.) The new commission which was to succeed them would, therefore, enter upon the duties of its office with important advantages, in possessing plans that had been approved by the highest engineering authority of the day, and also a well-filled treasury, and he could only say that he earnestly trusted that the execution of the works would prosper in their successors' hands. At all events, the public, which was now fully informed concerning all the general and in ternal arrangements of that commission, would do the retiring commissioners justice, and would know upon whom rested the responsibility. (Hear, hear ) The CHAIRMAN said that, as one of those persons who was to have a seat in the new commission, he thought it incumbent upon him most heartily to confirm the state ment which Colonel Dawson had made, representing, as the gallant colonel did, the retiring commissioners. Those commissioners had fully discharged the whole of the duties that had devolved upon them, and he (the chairman) was sure that it would be a matter of great satisfaction to himself and to those ofhis colleagues who would be members of the new commission, that the pre sent commission wound up se creditably. He could 'not refrain from contrasting the circumstances under which the new commission would enter upon the dis charge of its duties, with those which bad existed at the period when the now-expiring commission acceded to office 'in the yearlB.s2. The latter body succeeded to an empty exchequer and a debt. Plans, too, were then put before them which had perhaps been matured as far as cir cumstances permitted, and certainly a good deal had at that time been done towards preparing a scheme for the main drainage of the metropolis ; but still much had had to be done by the present commissioners, who had corrected and completed the plans that were submitted to them for this object. They would, therefore, lay before the new commissioners plans which might, perhaps, be re garded as perfect, and likewise hand over to them a full exchequer—as full a one, at least, as the existing law had enabled them to make it. Consequently, those commis sioners would commence their labours under much more favourable circumstances and far happier auspices than the retirin g body had done. Mr. L. REDHEAD considered it a great satisfaction to those members who were to serve on the new com mission that the present board terminated its career very differently from former boards, because they would all retire with the greatest respect and esteem for each other— (hear, hear)—and he could assure the excellent chairman personally, that he remembered with pride and satisfaction the advice and assistance which the court had always received from him. (Hear, hear.) The subject here dropped, and the court then ad jourtied,A - TOLL-BRIDGES OF THE THAMES. The evidence lately published on the toll bridges of the Thames contains, in a scattered form, full particulars of , the financial position of the various companies to whi c h I they respectively belong. A summary may, therefore, be made, which will prove useful to the dealers in the securities issued by each. Southwark-bridge was opened in 1819 at a cost of 666,0001. Its income at present is about 2,9001. per annum, and its outgoings 1,2001. Be fore the opening of New London-bridge, in 1831, it had an income of 7,000/., but from that period the re ceipts rapidly declined. The original shareholders have never received any dividend?, but 150,0001. of the capital consists of 1,700 preference shares of 50/ each, and 5,000 of 131. each, on which 1 per cent. is at present paid, as much as 3 per cent. having been paid in 1830. At the time of the project to bring the North Kent Railway over the Thames there was an intention to purchase this bridge for 300,000/. Waterloo-bridge was built on the authority of an act obtained in 1808 or 1809, at an aggregate cost of 1,050,000/. The sum originally subscribed was 500,000/., and on this not a farthing has ever been paid. The re mainder was made up by an issue of annuity shares of 81. per annum, for 99 years, at 60/. each, to the extent of 300,000/., and others of 7/. per annum, at 401. each, to the extent ,of 200,000/. There is also a mortgage of 54,0001., which takes precedence of every other claim, that amount havhig been borrowed of Lord Crawford, on condition that it should not be re deemed for 999 years. The average income at pre sent is 18,0001., and the expenditure about 3,500/. During the last three years the income has increased at the rate of about 900/. per annum. After payment of interest on the mortgage debt, the annuity holders are the only persons who receive anything and the payment, even in their case, is not more than 4s. in the pound of their claims, or 325. for every 8/. annuity, while the arrears due to them amount to 2,399,937/. 10s. Charing-cross or Hungerford-bridge was opened in 1845, at a cost of 113,000/. The capital raised was 137,C00/., including a small sum still in hand for an extension. The receipts and ex penditure are not stated, but the average annual traffic is 3,121,980 passengers, exclusive of that from the steam-boat pier. The revenue has increased yearly by about 100/., and last year the augmentation was as much as 800/. The company contemplate widen ing the bridge for a carriage way, at a further cost of 150,000/. by the issue of preference shares, and they estimate that the gross revenue would then reach 20,0001. to 30,000/. per annum. They pro pose carrying the Middlesex approach through Hun gerford-market, widening Hungerford-street. Vaux hall-bridge was built at a cent of about 370,000/., the capital consisting of 5,800 shares of 64/. each, besides which the company owe about 7,0001. The receipts amount to 11,000/. per annum, and the expenses to 2,2501., enabling a dividend of 265. to be paid on each 64/. share. Fer seven years before the removal of the South-Western Railway station from Nine Elms the re ceipts were 12,700/. per annum, and for a short time a dividend of 2/. per share was paid. Subsequently a great decline took place, but for the last four or five years there has been a recovery at the rate of about 15/. per week. Battersea-bridge is 83 years old, but in good repair. Its original cost seems not to be known, but it belongs to 13 proprietors, who divide between them 400/. or 5001. per share. The last sale of one of these shares was about ten years ago, and the price obtained was 6,5001. The tolls were then about 5,000/. per annum, but for the last four years they have averaged 6,100/., and they are still increasing, while the expenses are only 760/. Putney-bridge was built in 1729, and cost about 30,000/. the capital consisting of 30 sh ares of 1 , 000 /. each. The average gross receipts are about 3,550/., and the net receipts about 2,117/. The dividend paid for the last three or four years has been 64/. or 651. per share, and the last price per share was about 2,000/. Hammersmith-bridge was built in 1324, at a cost of 85,000/. The revenue, which increases at the rate of 1501. a-year, was last year 3,7001., and the annual ex penditure is 1,5001. The company had a small debt, w hich has been paid off, and their entire capital now consists of 1,578 sharp of 501. each, on which they di vide 245. eeshare. Kew-bridge is a private one, and its cost is not stated. It belongs to a person who bought it some yearly of 330/. _ n age for 20,700/., subject to a tontine annuity ° a life of7o. Its income last year was 2,750/., and th e . built by tontin e i o n ntf3ings 230/. Richmond-bridge was were about 8070 t, at a cost of 30,000/. The re ceiptstell on foot passengers . a year till last May, when the i was taken off, and they are now about GOO/. There fund of 14,000/. in vested in Consols for annual repairs, , e rd the bridge will become entirely free on the death old lady, who originally put 100/. into the tontine, and an vivor, receives 800/. per annum. who now, as the sur fer cost 48,000/., and was built about 25 years ago. The mo ney was obta ined by the corporation as a loan from the E x chequer at 3 4 per cent., to be dischar gedreout of the surplus tolls, if any. About 31,0001. the liquidation is igoing on at th e rate of 800/due,but The bridge will the refore ultimately b e free. yearly. sent it is let at a rent of about 2,0001. to 2,2001 . ton Court-bridge wa s built under authority of an mpa ef the year 1749, with the condition that it should hce redeemable by the Crown in 26 years at cost. It was purchased by the present proprietor about 25 years ago for 7,000/., and it is i..very unsound repair, but t e tolls are exorbitant, and the receipts are believed to range from 1,000/. to 1,50 0 /. a year. It is let by it s owner at 700/., but since the lease was granted the tolls have largely increased in consequence of the railway. Of Moulsey-bridge nothing is stated, except that the toll is Is. each way for every waggon ; and of Walton bridge all that appears is that it is farmed to a person for 300/. par annum, that it is in good repair, and that the traffic, which would be great if it were free, is - . eery small. LAW INTELLIGENCE. —Nov. 16. VICE-CHANCELLORS' COURT. (Before Sir John Stuart.) MOSEY V. JAMES-NOVELLO V. JAMES. Mr. Mallins and Mr. C. Hall, on behalflof the de fendant in both suits, moved that it might be referred to the chief clerk to assess the damages sustained by the defendant by reason of the injunctions obtained by the two plaintiffs against him to restrain the publication of ten airs in the opera of Sonnambula, and also a piece of music by Mendelssohn, called " Lieder ohne Worte," which that author had sold to one of the plaintiffs. The defendant is the proprietor and publisher of a musical work, published weekly, called The Pianists, in which, in 1851, the music in question appeared. On the 6tl. of August, 1851, Vice-Chancellor Knight Bruce granted an ! . injunction to restrain the publication of the airs in Sonnambula, taking from Mr. Boosey an undertaking to answer in damages th e amoun t o f l oss occas i one d by th e injunction in case be should be unable to establish his legal title. A si m il ar or d er was o bt a i ne d by M r Novello as to the music by Mendelssohn, upon the same terms. At this time the Court of Exchequer Chamber, in the case of Boosey r. Jeffries, had unanimously held that an assignment of a foreign copyright was valid. An appeal was carried in this case to the House of Lords, who recently reversed the judgment in Boosey v. Jeffries, the effect of which decision was that the assign ment to Mr. Novello ar.d Mr. Boosey was invalid ; the injunctions were consequently dissolved. Under these circumstances the suits were no longer sustainable. It was stated in the affidavit that, in consequence of the in junctions, the defendant had sustained a loss of 3,0001. Mr. Eimsley and Mr. C. M. Roupell, for Mr. Novello and Mr. Boosey, now moved to dismiss the bills without costs, on the ground that, according to the law as it was settled at the time the bill was filed, the plaintiffs were entitled to the injunction. Mr. Bacon and Mr. H. Clarke appeared for the plaintiff in the suit of Buxton v. James, which case, however, was not disposed of. The Vice-Chancellor said he should first dispose of the motions to dispose of the bills without costs. The rule of the Court was, in considering the question of costs, that the person who upon the result of the litigation turned out in the right should have his costs. These cases, however, came on under extraordinary circum stances. The plaintiffs filed their bills to protect their legal title, which had been established by a decision of the Exchequer Chamber, the appellate court. They had a right to treat the law as in their favour. At the same time, it was well known that there was a contradiction in the decision. The plaintiff did not rest on the legal de cision, but filed his bill in this court to establish his equitable title. The Court granted an injunction, but on such terms as clearly showed it was within the contem plation of the Court that the legal right might be diffe rently dealt with, a conclusion to which he (the Vice- Chancellor) came from the circumstance that the Court imposed the unusual terms of requiring from the plain tiffs an undertaking to abide by such order as this Court might make with respect to damages. It was clear from this order the Court foresaw that this view of the law might be altered, and the prudence of that coarse was apparent from what had happened. Now, what he was asked to do by the plaintiffs was, to relieve them from the costs of their suit. It was quite clear the Court in tended the plaintiffs, in the events that had happened, to make some pecuniary compensation to the defendant. He was, therefore, clearly of opinion that the bill ought to be dismissed without costs. Then came the question whether the plaintiffs were bound to make good to the defendant the gain and profits which he might other wise have obtained. It was to be observed, however, that the plaintiffs were in possession of what was shown to be valuable property by a derivate title. It was true that title had subsequently perished, but it was only after a long and difficult litigation. Under those cir cumstances, he thought he ought not to go further than to direct the plaintiffs to pay all the costs of suit. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. THE QUEEN, EX PARTE PARR, V. BENNETT, FRITH, AND TAYLOR. Mr. Milward moved for a rule to show cause why a criminal information should not be issued against the defendants, the proprietors and publishers of Diogenes, for inserting in that publication a. libellous article upon the applicant. Mr. Parr was the vicar of Preston, in Lancashire, perhaps the most populous parish in Eng land, the population there* being between 60,000 and 70,000 persons. At Easter last he was compelled to enforce against certain of his parishioners, who were Quakers, the payment of his customary dues, and the money due was levied by distress upon their goods. Diogenes had made this matter a subject of comment, and had commented on it in a manner exceeding the proper limits of fair observation. The article complained of was entitled " Thoughts in Tatters, by a Ragged Philosopher," and, beginning with a sort of comparison between the pulpits of auctioneers and of parsons, went on to make a violent personal attack on the appli cant, sug g esting a resemblance between Craoket, a bur glar who broke into a man's house, and a parson who entered it to seize his goods for rates and dues. The learned counsel read the article from beginning to end, and then stated that he bad affidavits which showed that the defendants were liable as the publishers of the paper. I The Court granted the rule to show cause. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. IN UK DAVID ALLEN RAMSAY. The bankrupt was a builder, of Kensingston-park terrace, and Notting-hill. His accounts, as prepared by Messrs. J. and A. Young, extend from January 1, 1852, to February 11, 1854, and contain the following items : —Dr. Unsecured creditors, 11,4641. ; secured ditto, 139,6241., including the Commercial Bank of London, 26,0261. ; profits, 19,4641. ; capital January 1, 1852, 3,5141. Cr. Good debtors, 491. ; doubtful, 2,9691. ; property, 2,3231. ; property held by creditors, 115,528 ; depreciation in value of property held by creditors, 12,870/. ; law costs, 3,368 ; trade expenses, 9,425/ ; domestic and personal expenses, 1,4891. ; losses, 25,9491. Mr. Lowrance appeared for the bankrupt ; Mr. Po cock for the assignees : Mr. Linklater for Mr. Samuel Phillips, a creditor. . _ After some discussion an adjournment of two months was ordered, IN RE W. CLERIC. The bankrupt was a builder, of Snrbiton. This was the last examination meeting. Ile bankrupt (who is supposed to be in Australia) not being in attendance at the usual hour was ordered to be proclaimed. In the absence of accounts the state of the bankrupt's affairs is roughly estimated at 20,0001. secured and 15,0001. un secured debts, the assets available towards the liquida tion of the latter being from 4,0001. to 5,0001. Mr. Spinks represented the assignees. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE.--Inspector Newnham, of the City police force, attended before the sitting magistrate (Alderman Rose), for the purpose of complaining of an evil which appeared to him to be only capable of being effectually removed by the press. Printed catalogues of books (all valuable standard works) had, the inspector said, been sent to persons in different parts of the coun try, in which catalogue it was stated that the works were on sale at 66, Cheapside, London, and formed " John Fortescue's extraordinary cheap supplementary list of new books (chiefly theological)." The cheapness of the books was calculated to catch the eye, as were the following paragraphs in the introductory part of the document :—" J. F. begs to state that he has framed this catalogue on the principle of' quick return and small profit, and would, therefore, in order to prevent disappointment, beg to remind his friends that an early application is necessary, as the unparalleled low prices ensure a speedy sale. All orders must be accompanied by a remittance for the full amount, no discount being allowed. Orders amounting to Si. will be sent carriage free." It had been ascertained, as soo n as parties had reason to complain, that at No. 66, Cheapside, which was a public newsroom, there were no books on sale, and that John Fortescue was not known to the proprie tor of that establishment, 'out it appeared that a great numbers of letters, which were directed to Mr. Fortescue, had been received there the day before, and given to a man who applied for them in that name, and that seve ral other letters addressed to the same person had been brought in in the course of the morning, but were re jected by the proprietor of the rooms. Mr. Somers, of the firm of Somers and Isaacs, sta tioners of Houndsditcb, said he had received a letter from a customer in the country, who had received one of the catalogues by post, and having observed that the books were to be sold at a wonderfully cheap rate, had determined to make a purchase, but instead of remit ting the money to Mr. Fortescue, he had tak en th e precaution of requesti ng his London correspondent to call at 66, Cheapside, to make the purchase, and upon inquiry it was found that the whole was a gross attempt at imposition. Other gentlemen from the country, who were stated to be engaged in the booksellieg trade, to whom cata logues had been sent, appea re d t o confirm the truth of the statement. Jarvis (the detective officer) preduced the following letter, which had been handed to him by the proprietor of the rooms, who had received it that morning : " Coffee-house, Londonsbridge, Nov. 16, 1854. "Sir,—l exceedingly regret tho t rou bl e and inconve nience to which I have put you in not first asking your permission to have my letters addressed to 66, Cheapsido, and explaining to you my reasons for so doing " For the last four years I have been in the habit of selling books on commission for several of the most respect able second-hand booksellers in London. Having saved a little money, I thought it would be more profitable to do a little business on my own account, by buying job lots of books, and then retailing them at so much a piece. I should never have dreamt of having my letters ad dressed anywhere saving to my own lodgings, had I not been given to understand that many agents were in the habit of having their business letters addressed in a similar way. I beg again to say I am extremely sorry for having given you so much trouble, and I am willing to give you whatever sum of money you may deem sufficient to compensate you for the trouble, if you will only receive illy letters for one week, counting from to day. By doing so yon would reader me a service for which I should be very grataful; for in 31331V0r to those letters which you kindly took in for me ou the 13th and 14th, I have sent off several parcels of books which have not been paid for, but for which my customers promised to remit the amount by return of post. If the Post-office authorities would allow use to have the rejected letters I would not trouble you, but they will be sent to the dead-letter office, and be returned to the writwho, n ot knowing what to perhaps make of it, w il l writers refuse to pay again, or perhaps will not in future favour e with th e i r or d ers . stead o "I should writing, had. have ealle o i l you personally to explain, in f not , b u siness compelled lea , v , e li L t o bi nts a eni nnfcanr geroyodur bi gent tke 11. o'clock-train. me to Will not Mt you, perhaps you , will bo kind enough to inform the bearer, and then I will call on yon myself this evening, between 7 and 8 o'clock. "Apologising for giving you so much trouble, " I remain, your obedient servant, " JOHN FORTESCUE." Alderman Rose said ha was decidedly of opinion that the most effectual way of preventing the mischief which might be contemplated by the person who had taken such measures to procure customers would be a very extensive advertisement of the plan and the proceedings. The Lord Mayor requested that the press would ac knowledge his receipt of 31. from the parish of Somer sham, in Huntingdonshire, the amount of a collection in the parish church for the sufferers from cholera. CLERKENWELL.—John Frederick Fish, a grocer's assistant, residing at 115, Bishopsgate-street, was charged with assaulting Elizabeth Silcock. The complainant, a modest-looking young woman, dressed in mourning, said—Last night I was sitting in the back parlour, when the man at the bar walked in. Mr. Tyrwhitt—Did you know the defendant before? Complainant—Why, your worship, I have been a short time in town, but whilst I was in the country I was about three years engaged to him. Mr. Tyrwhitt—To he married I—Complainant--Not exactly to get married, but I kept company with him. However, when I came to town, I found that his cha racter and disposition would not suit me. Mr. Tyrwhitt—Do you keep the place in which he assaulted you ?—Complainant—No, I do not ; but I at tended to the shop of Mrs. Langridge, a stayrnaker, at iligh-street, Islington. Since I have been in town, now nearly nine months, he persists in corning after tne, although I told him I did not want him, and that my employer never allowed any "followers." On last night, as I said, he came through the shop ; and when I told him to leave, he said he would not, that he wanted and would have me ; and that unless I con sented to keep his company he would kill me. When he used that threat I was about to go and call my mistresss when he struck me in the face ; the blow stunned me, but I think he must have hit me more than once, from the state. I found myself in when I recovered. A con stable had been sent for in the meantime, and I gave him into custody. Cooper, 61 N, gave corroborative evidence. Mr. Tyrwhitt—You must go to the House of Correc tion for three months. This is a most wanton and un provocked assault. The young woman has displayed a great amount of love towards you, and has also acted very judiciously in rejecting you, when she found that you had wilfully deceived and betrayed her affection. Mr. Tyrwhitt acknowledges the receipt of a guinea from G. M. IL, of Marlborough-street, for the poor-box. THAMES.—John Faller, a sweep, aged 23, of Rose mary-lane, was brought before Mr. Ingham, charged with assaulting Emma Sarginson, a married woman, residing in Farmer-street, Shadwell. The complainant stated that she was passing the shop of Mr. Dicker, pawnbroker, in the West India-road, adjoining Limehouse Church, at two o'clock that after. noon, when the prisoner, who had a chimney-sweeping machine on his shoulder, pushed against her and soiled her dress with' his sooty garments. She asked what he did that for, when he struck her on the eye with one of the rods and blackened it, and then threw her down on the steps of a door, seized her by the throat and mauled her in a shameful manner. She called aloud for help, and a policeman came up and extricated her. Wm. Grimes, a police-constable, 291 K, stated that he heard the shrieks of the woman, and found the prisoner standing over her with her throat in her grasp. The woman was prostrate on the steps of Mr. Dicker's door and quite helpless. He told the prisoner to release the woman, which he refused to do, and he was obliged to strike him three times on the arms before he would relax his grasp of her throat. The woman seemed quite ex hausted. (The policeman then produced a black wooden rod with which the prisoner struck the complainant.) The prisoner, whose person and clothes were perfectly blackened with soot, on being called on for his defence, said the woman pushed up against him, and called him a great many bad names. Ho had some rods on his shoulder, and one of them might have struck her by accident. The woman was recalled, and said the blow was wil. ully inflicted, and that she offered no provocation. Prisoner—The woman was quite drunk, sir. Mrs. Sarginson declared she was perfectly sober. Grimes was recalled, and said he thought the woman had been drinking a little. Mr. Ingham—What makes you think so ?—Grimes : Her bonnet was off, sir. Mr. Ingham—That is no evidence of her being intoxi cated. It might have been knocked off. Mrs. Sarginson—Yes, sir, the prisoner knocked it off. • . Grimes--She was so black where the prisoner had mauled her it was impossible to make out who she was. Tier face and neck • were blackened with soot, and her clothes were also black. Mr. Ingham fined the prisoner 205., and in default of payment ten days' imprisonment. THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING,,, NOVEMBER 17, 1854 THE STOCKTON AFFILIATION CASE. YORK, THURSDAY. MISS JONES v. PRIEST SINGLETON.—RE FUSAL OF THE DEFENDANT TO APPEAR. It will probably be remembered that when this came was dismissed by the magistrates at Stockton-upon-Tees in September last, Mr. Trevor, of Gainsborougb, Miss Jones's legal adviser, intimated his determination to re new the application for an order in bastardy against the rev. defendant before another tribunal. Accordingly Priest Singleton has been summoned to appear before the magistrates sitting in petty sessions at Northaller ton, and the case came on for hearing at the court-house there on Wednesday last. Mr. Trevor again appeared in support of the applica tion, and the defendant was represented by Mr. Dears ley, instructed by Mr. Dodds, of Stockton. The de fendant not appearing perionally, the service of the sum mons on the 4th inst. was proved. Miss Jones repeated her evidence, and was severely cross-examined on some new matters introduced on this occasion, but her testimony remained unshaken. Dr. Whiteside, of Stockton, who attended Miss Jones at her confinement, proved that this was her first child, and gave other corroborative testimony. The child, he considered, bore a resemblance to Mr. Singleton. Miss Jones—A resemblance ! It is kimself. (Laugh- ter and applause.) Mrs. Coulson, washerwoman, gave corroborative tes timony of a delicate nature. Tie next witness was Mr. John Smith, of Stockton, ironmonger, who confirmed Miss Jones's testimony in some particulars, and spoke to her propriety of de meanour. He is a member of Mr. Singleton's congrega tion, and an intimate friend of his. Mr. Trevor then called Mr. Singleton, but his reve rence did not answer, upon which Mr. Trevor applied for a subpoena to compel him to appear. (Lend ap plause.) Mr. Dearsley said Mr. Singleton did not appear, by his advice. Mr. Trevor--Why it was stated by Mr. Dodds, his attorney, when he was asked for before, that he would be here by the 20 minutes to 2 train. (Laughter.) Mr. Dearsley—You have had one opportunity of ask ing him about this matter. Mr. Trevor—Yes, and if he comes again I shall ask him a great deal more. (Laughter and applause.) The Chairman thought Mr. Singleton ought t• ap pear, as there was additional evidence this time. Mr. Dearsley would bow to the bench, but really Mr. Trevor bad put such insulting questions to Mr. Singleton. Mr. Trevor—Were they as bad as these you put to Miss Jones ? (Applause.) Mr. Dearsley—After a long and severe cross-exami nation, Mr. Trevor asked Mr. Singleton, "If all you have now said be false, can you not receive absolution for it to-morrow ?" Mr. Trevor—Yes ; and he declined to answer as question. (Hear, and laughter.) Mr. Dearsley would not consent to his client being hawked about the country in this way. • Mr. Trevor—But he must go wherever a subpoana calls him, like every other man. (Applause.) The Chairman repeated that Mr. Mingleton ought to appear. Mr. Dearsley would re consider his advice, and per haps withdraw it, int he would not pledge himself. Mr. Trevor—Then, if there is to be any doubt about it, I ask the Court to issue a warrant for his apprehen sion. (Renewed applause.) Mr. Dearsley said the Court could not do so, and, after some wranglinc , on this point, he said, " Well, I will do this—l think as at preseat advised." (Cries of "Ah," and rears of laughter.) The Chairman remarked that Mr. Singleton had been seen in Northallerton that morning. _ _ Mr. Dearsley—l said to him, you shall be there, but my advice is do not go into the box. Mr. Trevor—The most prudent advice you could give him. Mr. Dearsley at last gave an undertaking that - Mr. Singleton should appear on Saturday, if the further in quiry were adjourned till that day, but he could not pledge himself that he should be a witness. Mr. Trevor—Only bring him here, we will soon make a witness of him. (Applause and laughter.) It was suggested that the court-house would be wanted on Saturday for the county court, and Mr. Dearsley thought they would be better in a smaller room), as they would then get rid of some of the present noisy audience. (Laughter.) We may here state that the excitement was very great. The chairman over and over again called the spectators to order, but it was useless, particularly towards the con clusion, when tke audience became quite uncontrollable, and laughed, applauded, and hissed alternately, as they seemed to think the proceedings required. Ultimately the inquiry was adjourned till Saturday, when Mr. Dearsley said the defendant should be there. There was some mention in the course of the proceed ings as to an order being made upon the defendant, and Mr. Dearsley stated that if one were made he should appeal.

RACHEL.—It will be remembered that the Civil Tribunal recently decided, in an action brought by M. Lcgoui76, that Mille. Rachel should ro:7,uinc the re hearsals of a tragedy called "M6doe," written by that gentleman, and accepted by her. In virtue of this deci ' sien M. Legouv&s called on the administration of the Thatre Francais to fix a time for commencing the re hearsals ; but M. Houssaye, the director, refused to name any day. Accordingly yesterday M. Legouv6 summoned M. Houssaye before the Civil Tribunal to show cause for his refusal. The advocate of the theatre asked for a postponement fur a week, but M. Legouvd's advocate insisted that the case should be gone into at once. The tribunal fixed the hearing for Friday.—Paris Payer. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. SIInEWSBURY AUTUMN RACES. TUW SD.IY.

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—SIGHT AND HEARING.—MeSSTS. S. and B Solomons, opticians, 39, Albemarle-street, Piccadilly. Ob serve—opposite the York Hotel. Newly-constructed Spectacle Lenses of the greatest transparent power. The valuable advan tage derived from this invention is, that vision becoming im paired is preserved and strengthened, and very - aged persons are enabled to employ their sight at the most minute occupation—can see with these lenses of a much less mag nifying power—and they do not require the frequent changes to the dangerous effects of further powerful assistance. Deaf ness—New Discovery.—The Organic Vibrator, an extraordi nary powerful, small, newly-invented instrument for deafness, entirely different from all ethers, to surpass anything of the kind that has been, or probably eves can be, produced. Being of the same colour as the skin, is not perceptible ; it enables deaf persons to hear distinctly at church and at public assemblies ; the unpleasant sensation of singing noises in the ears is entirely removed ; and it affords all the assist ance that possibly could be desired. By her Majesty's Royal Letters Patent for valuable and extraordinary improvements in the most powerful and brilliant Telescopes, Camp, Race-course, Opera, and Perspective Glasses (glazed with Niunic German Glass), to know the distances of objects viewed through them—of great importance to the army, navy, and others. These telescopes possess such extra ordinary powers that some 3A inches, with an extra eye piece, will show distinctly Jupiter's moons, Saturn's ring, and the double stars ; with the same telescope can be seen a person's countenance thrde miles and a half distant, and an object from 12 to 14 miles. They are of larger and all sizes, with increasing powers accordingly.—The Royal Ex hibition, 1851.—Valuable, newly-invented, very small, powerful waistcoat-pocket glass,the size of a walnut, by which a person can be seen and known 1A miles distant; they answer every purpose on the race-course, and at the opera houses, country scenery, and ships are clearly seen at 8 to 10 miles. They are invaluable for shooting, deer-stalking, yachting, to sportsmen, gentlemen, gamekeepers, and tourists. Opera, race-course, camp, and perspective glasses, with wonderful power ; an object can 'be clearly seen from 10 to 12 miles distant.-39, Albemarle-street, Piccadilly.
