Daneirg, singing, eating, drinking, sleeping, all the way, to a most enjoyable extent." WILD DUCK-S.—As the cold weather approaches, wild fowl become more numerous in our firth, and usually attract a number of aquatic sportsmen to the town. For the last week or two Mr. Wyndham has had come capi• tal punt shooting between Inverness and Munlochy, generally bagging about a score a day to his own gun. The poor villagers of Clachnaharry, near whom Mr. Wyndham has been staying, have largely benefited by his good sport and liberality.— Inverness Courier.

None of the insu rance companies here can be induced to insure Hamburg ships for transatlantic voyages against the risk of war, and some of our principal shipowners are even seriously thinking of sailing their vessels under the Belgian flag,- which they consider more safe from molestation than the Hamburg " white castle." The alleged reason for this panic is the real or pretended unity between Prussia and Austria, which it is anticipated, will draw the Ger man Bund into the war, and not on the side of the Western Powers, whatever may be the sympathies and feelings of the German people individually. Her Ma jesty's steamer Euryalus, Captain Ramsay, arrived at Kiel yesterday from cruising off the Russian coasts. A good many of her officers have come over here on leave of absence.

SMITHFIELD CLUB CATTLE SHOW. This popular exhibition of the agricultural wealth of the United Kingdom opens to the public to-day, at the Baker-street Bazaar, King-street, Portman-square. A private view of the show, to which we were ad mitted last evening, enables us to state that on no pre vious occasion since the establishment of the club has the display of stock equalled, either numerically or in the point of excellence the collection brought together on the present occasion. The improvement which has taken place in the char acter of the stock exhibited argues favourably for the advance of agricultural science. To those who have been familiar with the exhibitions of former years an inspection of the present show cannot fail to convey a satisfactory proof of the advantage resulting from the competition invited by the Smithfield Club. A collec tion of animals in any degree approaching the excellence of those brought together this year has never been equalled, and, perhaps, not even anticipated. The wealth of the club has enabled it to offer additional in ducements to competitors, and on no previous occasion has se remarkable a display of the agricultural resources of England been collected together. The award of the judges has decreed the "pride of place" to those whose names are already familiar as leading stock feeders, but it is not too much to say, that of all the exhibitors scarcely one fails to support the great object of the club—that of supplying the best meat at the lowest possible price. The Prince Consort, with two of the Royal princes. honoured the club with a visit yesterday. His Royrhl Highness had the satisfaction of finding himself the pan sesisor of three prizes in the cattle classes—a degree of success which all his previous efforts had failed t• att•►in. The Duke of Rutland has obtained the first prim) of 251., with a gold and silver medal, as the breeder and feeder of the best ox in the Aow, and a more just re ward was probably never made, the animal possessing the most perfect symmetry, embined with all those fine points which the best judges of cattle are able to appreciate. Mr. Towneley, of Townley Park, near Burnley, carries off the gold medal and corresponding prizes as the feeder of the best cow in the show, and a more beautiful animal it has rarely been our lot to remark upon. In the short-woolled sheep the Duke of Richmond claims a well-deserved pre-eminence ; while his compeer, Lord Exeter, carries off the palm as the exhibitor of the best pen of long-woolled stock. Mr. 'Williams, of Bridgwater, is pronounced the suc cessful competitor in the pig classes, and to him the gold medal is awarded, as having succeeded in producing the greatest amount of meat in the shortest possible period. The exhibition contains some mammoth specimens, which, though not finding favour with the judges, will probably be more anxiously scrutinised by the public than any other animals during the next few days. The arrangements of the exhibition are of the meat perfect order, and there can be no doubt that half of London will visit the bazaar during the few days it'can remain open. The following is a complete list cf the awards : DEvoss. Class I.—Steers. Ist prize of 25/. (No. 2), his Royal Highness Prince Albert.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENOIL JUDEIN (CLERK) V. FIELD.-ASSAULT. Sir F. Thesiger, Mr. Serjeant Atkinson, and Mr. Hance appeared for the plaintiff. The Attorney-General and Mr. Bovill represented the defendant. Mr. Hance said that the plaintiff was the Rev. Tho mas James Judkin, and the defendant was Alfred George Field. The declaration was for an assault, and the defendant pleaded that he did not assault the plaintiff. The Rev. Thomas James Judkin examined—l am the plaintiff. lam the minister of Somers Chapel, St. Pan cras, and reside in Euston-square. I married the wi dow of Alderman Lainson. - She had five daughters by her former husband, the eldest of whom is married to the defendant. On the 10th of June last I saw Mrs. Field going up stairs. I said to her, " Mrs. Field, your husband forbade you coming to this house. You know it is an annoyance to me, and I am surprised you should do so." She said, " I shall come." Mrs. Field went and told one whom I really do not wish to name, and by that person I was locked in my room. I after wards saw Mrs. Field, and said, "This is the conse quence of your corning." She said, " I shall come," and her sisters said, " She shall come when she likes." I said, " If you say she shall come I shall be obliged to send for a policeman to remove you ;" upon which one of the young ladies said jeeringly, " Shall I go for a policeman ?" I said, " I will send for one when I think proper." Somebody—l think from the answer I gave Mrs. Field—said, "I ou bear with the shaggy eye brows ;" and I said, " Do you call yourself a beauty ?" putting my hand to my face. The Attorney-General—Putting your hand to your nose ? Witness—No, to my cheek—that is material. Mrs. Field said, "You are a pretty clergyman ; are you now preparing for to-morrow's duties ?" I said, " You are a nasty creature"—referring to her disposition. A certain person in the room- -- The Attorney-General—Do not be so mysterious. Sir F. Thesiger—You mean Mrs. Judkin ? Witness—Yes. Mrs. Judkin shrieked, and her daughter threw up the window. I saw a crowd, and thought it was disgraceful to a clergyman that such a scene should take place, so I put down the window ; but as fast as I put one down they put up the other. I then sent out the servant to say that the lady had fainted. On the following day (Sunday) I received a letter from the defendant. On the following day, about 10 o'clock, while I was talking to a gentleman in the study, Mr. Field rushed in with his hat on. I said, " It is usual for a gentleman in a gentleman's house to take his hat off." He said, " I shall not. Did you, sir, say you would solid for a policeman to turn my wife out of the house ?" I said, " I did." He then struck me on the breast with his fist. He then drew from under his coat a whip, and struck me with it several times. I ordered him out of the house. Ho said, " I shall go when I like." I ought to have said, that I pointed to a picture at the interview with Mrs. Field, and said, " Look at that." I referred to a picture-frame that had been taken away when I was ill, and I said, " Perhaps my plate will go in the same way." One of her sisters said, "Do you say Eliza is a thief ?" And I said, " Oh, Ido not say that." I have suffered sinco great deal. The defendant is a strong man. Gross-examined by the Attorney-General--Mrs. Judkin • has a jointure of 7001. a y'ar. She had five daughters by her former husband. They had 6,0001. each. Two of the other daughters—Lydia and Adelaide—aro mar ried. I have not done my best to exclude the married daughters from the house. I did not tell Mrs. Field that her husband had been guilty of felony, or that he was a receiver of stolen goods. The Attorney-General—You say Mrs. Judkin was in a chair. Did she faint? Witness—How can I know that She has done the same thing before, and I mean to say it was a feint in stead of fainting. (Laughter.) The Attorney-General then summed up the evidence for the defence, and • Sir F. Thesiger replied on the whole case. The jury, after a few minutes consideration, returned a verdict for the plaintiff—damages 501. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. FOX V. NEALB AND ANOTHER-TIIE PIMLICO BUILDERS' ASSOCIATION. This was an action to recover 1431. for goods sold and delivered, and the plea was never indebted. Mr. M. Chambers, Q.C., and Mr. Petersdorff, ap peared for the plaintiff ; and Mr. Serjeant Byles and Mr. Skinner, for the defendants. It appeared that the plaintiff was a brick, lime, and cement merchant, and the action was brought against Mr. E. Vansittart Neale and Mr. Hughes, who were barristers ; but, in the course of the case, proceedings were discontinued against Mr. Hughes, and his name was accordingly struck off the proceedings. As against Mr. Neale, the plaintiff's case was, that during the tem porary misunderstanding which existed three or four years ago between employers and their workmen, several gantlemen, including Lord Goderich, Mr. Neale, Mr. Morris, and Mr. Hughes, associated themselves to gether for the purpose of assisting the working classes by co-operation to carry on works and amass capital, so as to enable them to start on their own account, and without the assistance of masters. Among other schemes with this object was the Pimlico Builders' Association, and to enable then to build Mr. Neale took leases of land in his own name, and he advanced out of his own pocket about 5,000/. or 6,0001. It turned out, how ever, that instead of the buildings being completed for less than 8,0001,, and. there being a handsome sum over to be used as capital, that there was a loss upon the speculation of nearly 1,0001. The plaintiff had supplied various articles to be used in building the houses, and for the price of part of these articles the present action was brought upon the ground that they had been sup plied upon the credit of Mr. Neale. The case on the part of Mr. Neale was that he had acted only from a philanthropic motive in rendering as sistance to the Pimlico Builders' Association, and that he had never authorised his credit to be pledged in the transaction ; but on the contrary had been particularly careful not to do so. The jury found a verdict for the defendant. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. IN RE ranicK AND PRINCE. The bankrupts were described as wine and cigar merchants, and proprietors of Prince's Club, Regent street, and Canton-street. This was the adjourned examination meeting. The accounts have been al ready published at length. The bankrupts owe to unse cured creditors 17,3981., and to those holding securit y 13,773/. Mr. Cooper opposed for the assignees, and said that the assets would not yield a dividend of id. in the pound. Mr. Linklater opposed for a creditor ; Mr. Chidley appeared for the bankrupts. George Prince, in examination, deposed that i n Sep tember, 1850, they had a capital of 5901. The re wer three partners ; one was a lady, Elizabeth Muller, his brother's wife, who became a partner about twelve months previous to the bankruptcy. Her name was not put in the lease of the club chambers, nor in the assignment of the leas e of the premises in Carlton-street. Witness and his brother were in the habit of drawing bills on her, whidh she accepted. Had only told two creditors that sho was a partner. They carried on a wine and cigar business, but her name did not appear in the licenses. She bad accepted bills in the name of , Muller after her marriage. The capital consisted of 2001., or thereabouts, from Muller's mother. 1001. was witness's, and the balance was his brother's. He had been insolvent in 1850. The partnership commenced in September of the same year. He paid no dividend under his insolvency. He owed between 5,0001. and 7,0001. The Commissioner —At what time had you the capi tal of 5901. Bankrupt—On Sept. 29, in the year the balance-sheet commences. The bankrupt was asked as to the mode in which that capital was disbursed ; but his explanation was unsatis factory, and his Honour said that if his answers were not more satisfactory ho should adjourn the case sine die. The bankrupt further stated that the premises were taken by himself and brother for Muller ; the arrange ment was that he and his brother wore to be ostensible partners. The arrangement was not in writing. No arrangement was made as to the proportion in which the capital should be subscribed. Commissioner —Is not the fact of Muller being a partner Wally suppressed and concealed in your balance sheet ? Mr. Chidley said it came upon him as a novelty. The Commissioner —And it comes upon me as a no velty. I shall adjourn the examination of the bankrupts sine die. They have been before the court since June last ; yet now, for the first time, notwithstanding they have sworn to their balance-sheet, we are informed there was a third partner. It is about as scandalous a case as ever came before the court. I adjourn the last exa mination sine die. Mr. Cooper—l trust your Honour will refuse protec- tion. The Oommissioner—C-lertainly ; no protection: Mr. Linklater applied for a certificate of execution under the penal section of the act, which was granted. IN RE JOHN ENSOIt ROPLIZ. This insolvent, who had kept the Garrick's Head in Bow-street, applied for bail till the hearing. Mr. Nichols opposed, and Mr. Sargoed supported. Two licensed victuallers named Lilly were the sureties. They said they had been betting men, but were not now, on which the learned Commissioner said it was well, adding that there was a " dreadful Act of Parliament." (A laugh.) The bail were examined —one kept the Pea cock at Islington, and had ample property to justify. Mr. Commissioner Phillips said he did not think the Peacock would lose a single feather. (Laughter.) Bail accepted. IN RE RICHARD HARRIS.-NOVEL QUESTION. This insolvent, a farrier, was opposed by Mr. Sargood, and supported by Mr. Reed. This insolvent was a candidate for the inspectorship of Slaughterhouses at Whitechapel in June last, and spent 401. on the contest. There were five candidates, and he was second on the poll. The income from the office would have amounted to 2501. a year. In August he petitioned under the Protection Act, and being within three months, the question was, whether the insolvent had " parted with or charged his property, except for the necessary support of his family. Mr. Commissioner Phillips held that the expenditure of the money in the contest, which should have gone to the creditors, was a parting with property not within the exceptions mentioned in the . act, and the petition must be dismissed,—The petition was accordingly dis missed.

" • The show was opened to the public at nine o'clock this morning, and down to the hour of cur going to press there continued to poor into the bazaar a stream of yi,dt ,4tars, Who appeared to be highly delighted with the exhi ' .bition. The majority of the male 'visitors were of the vrefessional class, either breeders or butchers, and in -the course of the day several of the animals found ready purchasers. The beast which attracted the most atten tion was a mammoth bullock, the largest that has ever been shown in London. He is a perfect monster, look ing more like an elephant than a short-horned Hereford; but size is not looked upon as quality in these exhibi tions, and the beast has obtained no prize, no doubt much to the surprise of the uninitiated in such matters. AU,S'TRIA AND THE WESTERS PO IVERS. The Austiian Treaty is for the moment the great theme of politicians and merchants—in clubs and on 'Change. As the terms of the Treaty cannot be deco vously made public until it has been ratified, a wide field is left for speculation. Men's conclusions, ss usual, take a colour from their tempers and wishes. The sanguine are confident that the Treaty will prove all that can be desirei ; the despondent shake their heads. Cautious dealers, who cherish an aversion to war risks, prophesy peace ; ardent friends of liberty, who canr et get rid of their distrust of Austria, anticipate fresh complications and a prolonged struggle. Each man catches at the rumour of the hour that has the appearance of corrobo rating his own views. One reminds his hearers that the Czar has declared himself willing to treat on the basis of the four points ; forthwith another strikes in and affirms ' that the Czar has retracted this consent since he beard that Austria and Prussia have come to an understand ing. One tells exultingly how the Turkish army in Moldavia and the Dobrudscha is advancing, with the consent of Austria, upon Bessarabia ; another asks, with a meaning look, whether Prince Gortcbakoff has demanded his passports at Vienna ? All is uncertainty, all is conjecture. Amid the dark mist that rests upon the immediate future, and amid all these gusts of contradictory ru mour, there is one infallible guide for the Allied Powers. It is an old and true maxim, that the best and shortest way to obtain peace is to carry on vigorously the war in which we may be engaged. This is especially true when we have to contend with such an adversary as Russia. The ambitious designs of that Power have not been con. calved yesterday ; they are an heirloom handed down through many generations. They have been at times apparently relinquished, but only to be resumed on the ' first favourable occasion. The hypocrisy of the Rus sian Cabinet is proverbial ; words— oaths cost it nothing. ' f The Western Powers ought to pay no attention to its offers to treat through the intervention of third parties ; when a Government wishes honestly to nego tiate it applies direotly to the principals. Again, the Western Powers ought to listen to no terms pro- pounded by Russia short of material guarantees that it will never again encroach upon the domains of Western Europe. Until such security is offered by Russia — until Russia urgently implores for peace on any terms — the war ought to be prosecuted with relentless energy. Any overtures or proffers short of this are only made to gain time, that Russia may recover breath and recruit its exhausted powers. As for the Austrian treaty it will be well not to build too much upon it, until the actions of Austria prove the sincerity of its promises. We hope that Austria may prove true ; but it is not safe to act upon mere hopes. Treaties are all very well when honestly acted upon ; but treaties have been broken ere now. In the beginning of the present century a treaty was concluded with the then King of Prussia by the British Government. The King of Prussia bound himself, in return for a subsidy to be paid by Great Britain, to bring a certain number of troops into the field against the French. The King of Prussia pocketed the first instalment of his subsidy, and broke the treaty before the ink with which he signed it was dry. We do not mean to infer that Austria will do the same now. We only recal to memory how solemn treaties have been sported with by Governments in former times, as a warning not to repose too much confidence on such compacts. Inen a private indivi dual signs a bond, the courts of law will give judgment against him if he do not fulfil his obligation, and the sheriff's officers will carry the judgment into execution. But in what court of law can we implead a powerful Government ? And what sheriff's officers will enforce judgment upon it ? Again, if a private individual forfeit h he is "sent to Coventry ;" b u t th e p er j ur i es ofi wrd, Gover nm ents are judged by a more l ax co d e o f o morals. It is not meant to be denied that a good deal has been gained by prevailing upon the Austrian Government to commit itself in black and white ; but let France and England beware of relying so far upon this complaisance of the Cabinet of Vienna as to intermit for one moment their military exertions. That Russia has gone so far as to affect a willingness to negotiate is owing solely to the defeats it has experi enced on the Danube and in the Crimea. That Austria has drawn closer to the Western Powers is owing solely to the triumphant heroism displayed by the French and English soldiers on the Alma, and at Balallava and Inkermann. The impressions which Russia and Austria have received must be maintained by the same means that made them. The Cabinet at St. Petersburg has more confidence in its talent for negotiating than itd its talent for conducting a war. The Cabinet at Vienna will be all the more disposed to keep on friendly terms with France and England if it sees that these Powers are confident in their ability to accomplish their objects without its aid. Entertaining these views, it is with satisfaction that we hail every indication that they are also en tertained by our own Government. There are many symptoms which show that Ministers anticipate a pro longed and arduous contest. We do not lay so much stress as some do on the measure relating to the militia which they intend to submit to the Legislature ; for an Act of Parliament can be got at little expense, and is not in the way, even should it prove to have been uncalled for. But Ministers would scarcely have sanctioned the construction of a railway in the Crimea, if they had not been certain that it will be needed. They would not have gone to the expense they are incurring for winter habitations for eur soldiers in the Crimea, had they not been resolute to wrest that province from Russia. We read daily of wooden houses shipped for the Crimea ; we mentioned yesterday the efforts that are being made to procure them from Galli poli, Sinope, and Trebizond. We have since learned that Lord Westmoreland has been instructed to ascer tain the cost price charged for such structures by a large contractor in Istria, and what means of transport exist for conveying them to a shipping port. In connexion with these indications we may mention that Messrs. Peto and Co. are confident that a heavy siege gun will be conveyed by their railway from Balaklava to the trenches in seven minutes. As for the wooden houses, doubts have been expressed as to whether they can afford sufficient shelter for the climate ; but such doubts are groundless, for the peasants of Northern Russia and Norway, and of our own Canada, find wooden houses sufficient for their purpose. In the provisions now making by Government for the reduction of Sebastopol we read their conviction thas Russia must be thoroughly humbled, however protracted or arduous the struggle may be ; and in this conviction on their part we think we see the means of ensuring the good faith of Austria, and the ultimate triumph of the cause of national inde pendence.—Daily News. EXTENSIVE ROBBERY OF PLATE.—During divine ser vice on Sunday evening last, the house of Mr. R. W. Moore, Woodhouse•square, Leeds, was plundered of a large quantity of silver plate and jewellery. The thieves having scaled an outer wall, cut a large circular hole in a panel of the back door, and drew back the locks and bolts. They then entered the house, which they ran sacked of plate and jewellery and other valuables to the amount of fully 2501. The thieves got clear off with their booty before the family returned from church. A handsome reward is offered for the apprehension of the thieves. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. The sittings of the Court for the November adjourned session were resumed yesterday morning at the Guild hail, Westminster, before Mr. Serjeant Adams, Assist ant• Judge, and a bench of magistrates, by adjournment from Clerkenwell. The Assistant-Judge briefly charged the grand jury. Jo7sn Winter, 29, clerk and collector, was indicted for having embezzled three sums of money which he had received in his capacity of servant to Richard Staines. He pleaded guilty. Tho Assistant-Judge sentenced him to hard labour for 15 months. John Adams, 50, dealer, was indicted for having stolen a picture frame and other articles, the property of Samuel Archbutt and others. He was further charged with having feloniously received the same, well knowing them to be stolen. - 1188 W. 1,.• The jury, after some deliberation, found the prisoner guilty of receiving the frame, knowing it to be stolen. Mr. Metcalfe asked for a postponement of the sen tence. The value of the property taken was something close upon 2,0001., and the prisoner, no doubt, could give some information respecting it. He might be dis posed to do so before the Court passed its sentence upon him, if a suggestion were made to him. The Assistant-Judge said he could do no more than simply say the prisoner stood remanded. The prisoner was then removed. William Henley, 35, omnibus conductor, was indicted for stealing a passport case, containing 601. in notes, the property of William Dunn. The prosecutor was a gentleman residing at No. 2, Berkeley-place, Connaught. square, and it appeared that on the afternoon of the 13th ult. he rode from the Bank to Paddington-grove in an omnibus, of which it was said the prisoner was the conductor. While in the vehicle he lost his pocket-book, containing 601. in notes, a bill drawn on an Indian merchant, &c., and on seeing the prisoner subsequently, the latter denied all knowledge of it or the prosecutor, although he wore on the occasion a large blue cloak. The principal witness was one of the passengers, a Mrs. Missen, who said she picked the case up, and asked the passengers whose it was, when the prisoner said it was his and she handed it to him. He opened it, and she saw it contained a small roll of paper. A reward was offered, and she went next day to the prosecutor and told him this, rind they kept a look out, and the prisoner was pointed out by her as the man. Afterwards she greatly equivocated as to his identity. Mr. Ballantine urged upon the jury that oven ad mitting the case to be one of suspicion, the evidence was such that no jury would be safe in acting upon it, and he appealed to them not to consign a man of honest, honourable, and good character as the prisoner was, to utter ruin and destruction upon such vague and flimsy evidence as had been adduced against him. The jury, after a short consultation, acquitted the prisoner. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL.—Edward Nettleilnip was charged with obtaining 31 copies of the New Monthly Magazine by false pretences. Mr. Wontoer, who appeared for the prosecutors, said that Messrs. Chapman and Hall, of 193, Piccadilly, were the publishers et the New Monthly Magazine. These gentlemen, having received from the various booksellers information as to the numbers each would require for the month, made oti;; a list and sent it down to their binders, Messrs. Bone and Son, of 76, Fleet-street, with instructions to deliver to the messengers of the different firms mentioned therein the number of books placed op posite their names. On the 31st of October the prisoner went to Messrs. Bone's and asked if there was anything for Piper, and being answered in the affirmative re ceived 81 copies of the New Monthly Magazine. Messrs. Piper subsequently sent for them, when it was dis covered that the prisoner had had them on a false repre sentation.—Rcmanded. SOUTHWARK.—Frederick Brown was brought be fore Mr. A'Beckett on the following charge of robbery. William Fairchild, a partner in the firm of White andj Fairchild, 16, High-street, Southwark, grocers and tea" dealers, and keepers of the branch post-office, stated that the prisoner had been in their employ as post-office clerk for twelve months, and considerable confidence was re posed in him. However, latterly they had reason to suspect his honesty. Witness accordingly marked two half-sovereigns and three half-crowns, which he handed to two parties to purchase postage stamps with. They did so, and after they had quitted the shop witness wont to the post-office desk and examined the till, when he only found ono of the marked half-crowns. He im mediately charged the prisoner with robbing him, which he at first denied, but directly afterwards he admitted that lie had. Witness then called in a constable, and gave him into custody, when the two marked half-sove reigns and the half-crown were found upon him, besides other gold and silver, amounting to 2/. 19s. Additional evidence having been. adduced, the defen dant was committed for trial. THAMES. —Joseph. Davidson Hahn, a German, described as a missionary, was charged with assaulting William Neale, a police-constable, No. 367 K. Neale stated that at about half-past twelve on Satur day night he was returning with two other constables from duty at the Poplar station ; they were walking on the kerb stone, and in single file. Defendant came up and said—" When I require a policeman I can never find one, but now here are you three loitering together when you are not wanted." The defendant then rudely pushed him into the road, causing his hat to fall off. Witness told him they were not loitering, and that he had no business to force him into the road. Defendant then said they were all drunk, and proceeded to take their numbers, adding that he would have them up be fore Sir R. Mayne. Defendant then gave witness a slight kick behind ; he then followed witness and his fellow officers, shouting and vociferating, as far as Gros venor-street, and when witness parted from them, de fendant rushed on him, seized him by the collar, and threw him down. A scuffle ensued, and ultimately wit ness took the defendant to the station-house. The witness was severely cross-examined by Mr. Pel ham, on behalf of the defendant. Two other constables were then called in confirmation of complainant's state ment, but there was much discrepancy in their evidence, and Mr. Yardley said it was clear that the solution of the dispute was that the policemen were taking up the whole of the pavement, so that the prisoner had either to go into the road or pass between the policemen. The police had no right to block up the whole of the pal e• ment. He did not believe that a foreigner who was sober would, without provocation, attack three police men in the manner stated, and there had been such con tradictions in their evidence that he should dismiss the case. Titus Cherry, a young man in the employ of Messrs. Baxendale, the carriers, appeared to answer a complaint under the Turnpike Act. Mr. G. Dacre, clerk to the trustees of the Middlesex and Essex Turnpike Roads, said—The prisoner passed through the Mile-end Gate with his employers' waggon and horses on the 24th ult., and presented a ticket given the same day to another man at the Whalebone Gate, between Ilford and Romford. That ticket had been given to a man named Riglan, a carrier several miles down the road, and would clear him at all the gates to London, and bad been used by him ; but it would not clear him back, as he had received a fresh load of goods in London, and the ticket had no doubt been thrown away. The defendant had no business with it at all, and as this system of fraud had been carried on to some ex tent along the road it was determined to make an ex ample of the prisoner. _ _ _ kr. Yardley fined the defendant 40s. and costs, and ordered him to be detained in prison until a return was made to a distress warrant on his goods and chattels. [ADVERTISEMENT.]—HoIIoway's Ointment and Pills for the Effectual Cure of Bad Legs.—Extract of a letter from H. Watkinson, Esq., proprietor of the Spalding Free Press, dated December 15, 1852 :—" Dear Sir,— A cottager residing at Moulton has requested me to send you the particulars of the almost miraculous cure effected by using your ointment and pills.

The lecturer was most warmly received—he laughed in his old good-humoured way, the audience laughed in their turn, which ended in their both laughing together most cordially, it would seem, s a the recollection of former fun and merriment. The journey now conducts the visitor from London to Rotterdmm, by Brussels, through Holland, and np the Rhine. Mr. Albert Smith sings very cleverly a descriptive song 01 all the ruins and localities of the Rhine, with the legends attached to them, as the panorama passes before the au" dienze, which is so timed that each view comes exactly with the words of the song. This was much applauded, and terminated the first part. Part the second eoni• mences with a view of the Alps. Most of the new scenes are painted by Mr. W. Beverley, and are executed with his well-known delicacy and effect. The room wa s cony pletely filled in every part. BIRTIIB. OF A SON.
