PROSPEcTITS This Company a formed for the purchase and working of the Cartunas Tin Mines, situated in the l'aris of St. Sterhens, St. Angie], in she County of Cornwall, a district well known am n g mineralogists as being r in Tin Mi.•eral deposits. The set is very extensiv, and he'd und e r l e se from Lady Grenvill e, f or a term of twenty-cue' years, at a ro alty of one-fift een th . The promising character of the Mines to be worked by the present Company fully , cearrants the expe talon that large returns will be realised ; five Tin I odes are known to pass through the sect, and on one of which operations have been o riled on to some considerable extent by the iormer workers. The trine is sitriated on the junction of Granite and Killas, so favonrable for the production of metallic miner .Is, parti- Pula ly Tin The ancient excavations on the hacks of the lodes give evi ct nee that vast qt.aotities of Tin h e been rai..ed on the property, and recent explor ati ns demonstrate this sett to be of nn ot dinitey kiwi, it being merely a question of c pital for a fuller development to b ing it nto a dividend at •te. The reperis annexed are from m of long practical ex per cure in the oissriet ; their testdnon, as to ti e highly promisine ebarac er of the property, and the great local ad vantages by which it is sir , rounded, wi I be r ad with inte rest and leaving no hing to be urged by the Directors, ce t an assui since of their strong c nfidence as to its valise, and that ere long it will bear comparison with a+ y of the rich Mines opened in the district. A contract has beer entered into for the purchase of the pro; erty on most favours le terms -viz., for £6,e00 (.£2,500 in cash, and £3,500 in paid-un Shares).

GIBiON, beforehand people in Pans daily asked themselves when the end would come. It was rather thought that the President was tardy in taking the step which the vast majority of the French people were almost audibly calling upon him to take. The corruption of the Government of Louis Philippe, —the events, domestic and foreign, which angered the nation and hastened his fall—the discredit of the republic, —the bloody scenes in the streets of Paris—the ill-dis guised schemes of the Red Republicans, who seemed at one moment about to clutch the reins of Government—the squabbles and incapacity of the representative Chambers under the President —the general feeling of uncertainty, disquiet, and insecurity —and the universal yearning after something firm and stable turned the thoughts of the nation towards an empire under a strong hand. Louis Napoleon was the only man who united in his person the verims qualities and conditions which could give him a title in the eyes of the great mass of the people to govern France. That he ful filled their wishes in assuming supreme power, there can be no doubt. That he was condemned by many great and good men, who had the liberties of their country dearly at heart, is equally true. But when these men whose influ ence with a certain section of the people was to be feared, were carried off, as Mr. Kinglake has described, like felons in a prison van, where in France was the hand raised in th it defence, or where the voice of sympathy heard in their behalf ? To say that the French nation was so held down and terrified treat it dared not act er speak, is to assert that which is palpab'y absurd. If their feelings had been seriously outraged, the people would have risen as they had risen before. Mr. Kinglake's sketch of the character of the Emperor, his sneer at his personal courage, and his merciless and reckless abuse ---sometimes uttered in words scarcely befit ting, at other times in unbecoming sarcasm— have been so gent-rally and justly condemned, that wo have no wish to dwell upon them. Mr. Kinglake is constrained to admit the total indiffe rence with which the coup d'etat was viewed by the vast majority of the population of Paris. The chiefs of the ex treme democratic party—of that party which was most feared by moderate men and by the commercial classes o: France —bought, after the arrest of the deputies, to excite a popular tumult, and, with the help of the Reds, to raise a ear-made at the corner of the Rue St. Marguerite, in the Faubourg St. Antoine; but Mr. Kinglake confesses that they received little sympathy and no aid from the people. One battalion of the 19.,h regiment of the line sufficed to disperse them, but not without bloodshed : Charles Baudin and another deputy of the democratic faction were killed. The Committee of Resistance then caused barricades to be thrown up in the streets between th e H otel de Ville and the Boulevards—that part of Paris whi c h up to this period had alwaysgreat be m en as th s e ot ce tz t e p,reopfusluacthion f attempts the capit a l too k no part, t empts at rev o l u ti on. S t i ll and up to the 4th of December the Government had no fear of any organised resistance to its authority. On the after noon of that day, however, the barricades becoming more numerous, General Magnan received omen to take them and to disperse those who had raised them. He sent a strong column to occupy the broad boulevards stretching from the Madeleine to the first barricade near the Porte St. Denis. Notices, as Mr. Kinglake admits, had been pre viously posted in the public paces, and distributed, calling upon the people not to assemble in or to encumber the streets, and cautioning them that any crowd would be dispersed by force without further summons. Ample warning seems thus to have been given. Mr. Kinglake describes General Magnan as "wavering, and throwing away the whole of the morning, and the greater part of the afternoon." The fact was that, acting upon the experience of Gmeral Cavaignac and others who had been engaged in quelling similar risings, instead of scattering his troops, he kept them together until the insurgents were collected at the principal barricades, which were then taken without difficulty or much bloodshed. The column on the B •ule var 's had captured the barricade near the Porte St. Denis. All resistance had ceased. The troops were resting on their arms ; the officers collected in knots ; idlers were gathering together on 'he pavement, and appearing at the windows. Suddenly some shots were fired from a house upon the soldiers. They were seized with a sudden panic, not un common to men so pl , ced, and, facing round the whole line, and, it would seem, without any order from their officers, they commenced firing upon those who stood as spectators at the windows and in the streets. A field-piece was bro ght to bear against one house, from which, there is reason to believe, shots had been fired. Accounts differ as to the time during which the firing continued. Ac iorsiing to the testimeny of one who wAe present, it scarcely lasted more than five minutes, and few of the men had time to reload before their officers interposed and stopped them, Even according to the witness cited by Mr Kinglake, it only lasted a quarter of an hour. However that may be, many victims fell in what may be admitted to have been an unprovoked and barbarous attack, equally disgraceful to the troops which committed it, and to those who were in a position to prevent it. It might have been thought that the bare statement of the facts as they occurred would have sufficed even so virulent a writer as Mr. Kinglake. But, as usual, he goes out of his way to heap up story upon story, without sifting the evidence upon which they may be founded, so long as thee tell against the object of his hate —the Emperor Napoleon. The principal witness he pro duces is one Captain Jesse, who stood in a balcony near the corner f the Rue Montauban, and who sent an account of whit he saw to .he Ttmes. We all know how easily a 'can's judgment may be influenced and affected by an event as alarming as that witnessed by Captain Jesse, and how natural is the tendency,under such circumstances, to exalt_ gerate it. But every statement that in any way contradicts him, Mr. Kinglake rejects (vol. i. p. 268 note). In other ports of Paris fighting was going on, and much blood was no doubt shed, especially as the street barricades were more obsinately defended than those on the Boule vards. Mr. Kinglake states that men and women innocent of any share in the fight were made prisoners and delibe rately shot. Others, he declares, were killed in the court yards of the Prefecture by police-officers, with loaded clubs, as men wh o kill ed bullocks.

Mr. Kinglake willingly gives currency to stories of " whole batches of men shot by platoons" in cold blood and by night in Paris. It is surprising that, as a lawyer, he should have produced in support of his belief such evi dence as that of the "Judge-Substitute," who " under etood" that men were carried off from geols to be shot; who," indeed, was certain that they were so shot," although he had no personal knowledge of the fact (p. 279). Sounds f platoon firing, accompanied by shrieks, were heard in the dead of the night in "one of the undisturbed quarters of Paris "—in the Faubourg St. Germain, probably, where the Paris gobemouches who nourish Mr. Kinglake chiefly dwell.

True History of the Coup d'Etat From a masterly criticism upon Mr. Kinglake's " History (sot d sant) of the Crimean War" in the newly-published number of the Quarterly, we quote the following perfectly conclusive and wholely uo answerable narrative of the actual facts as they were, and as they are now proved to have be n, in reference to the ever-memorable Second of De cember The chapter which contains the history of the coup d'etat of the 2d December illustrates the tendency of Mr. King lake to warp every fact so as to suit his own particular theories; to receive any evidence, however untrustworthy, which may support his own preconceived views; and to reject any testimony, however weighty, which m• ,y be at variance with them. The truth of history is sacrificed to the most malignant persecution of the object of his rancour and hate. With reckless ingenuity he mingles fact and fiction : whilst avoiding positive statements, he cunningly insinuates inferences opposite to the truth, dives into the gutter for every remnant of personal scandal has recourse to the vutgarest arts of rhetoric, and leaves no means un tried to prejudice the minds and to influence the passions of he reader. I It happens that those English writers who have written about the Emperor, and the condition of France under his rule, have for the most part derived their opinions and their information from the leading members of the two great poli tical parties who have been deprived of power by him, and are consequently hostile to him. The most distinguished French literary and political men have belonged to the Orleanist party. These writers and thinkers have exercised, and justl• , a certain influence on the literary men and women of this country. They have given a certain hue to the opinions of English s' ciety and of the English press with regard to France and her ruler. Moreover, those whose object it has been to dii-credit the Emperor, and to bring him into hatred and contempt, have been persons of great activity and ready resource. They have moved rest lessly about with their mouths full of slander, and their pockets tull of pamphlets. Into the hands of these persons Mr. Kinglake seems to have helplessly fallen. He goes even beyond them in the intensity of his hate and in the bitterness of his tongue. He pursues the Emperor and those about him with a rancorous anitnoeity and a fierce, fiery invective which savours more of the unforgiving vengeance of one who has experienced some great personal wrong, than of the calm judgment of the historian. He so overwhelms them with taunts, sar casm, and sneers that at length tee reader, however unfavour able his opin.on of the men may originally have been, feels sympathy for human beings so remorselessly persecuted. Louis Napoleon, Pereigny, more properly Fialin, St. Arnaud, formerly Le Roy, Maupas, and Fleury, become, from bad men who should be objects of our hatred, martyrs and victims to be pitied, By this ill-advised and unscru • pulous, and, let us add, un-English course, Mr. Kinglake has frustrated his own object. It has brought about a reaction in favour of the Emperor, and has led people to forget hie faults and his misdeeds in a manly indignation at the injustice done to him, Those who in the country had from the beginning denounced his political sins—those who in his own capital had held aloof from him because they could not condone acts which they conscientiously con demned—have gathered for the fitst time about him to prove at least that they protest against the reckless accu sations contained in Mr. Kinglake's book. Mr. Kinglake seems entirely ignorant of both France and Frenchmen. According to him, a free and constitutiona country was suddenly mad in one night bound and trampled down by a small band of conspirators —men of no character or reputation, and of small ability and means. A phut hatched by them within the walls of the Elysee sulfi ed in few hours to change the destiny of France and to influ ence the public policy of Europe. The President and his accomplices having secured the services of some unscrupu lous men, and having bribed the army, effected this great crime to the dishonour of their country, but to their own personal gain. But let the truth be told. It was not the Emperor, who, aided by his associates, had alone conspired against the liberties of Francife.oonTsphireaetyreiattwbaoed,yanofd t h h e e , n fr a o t m ion a w va er r e tet i y n o their leader. Th e coup d etat of the 2d ot D hf e ics c a e cu m osn b es e si: r ib w rea a ce s aym no unexpected event. If ever conspiracy was public in the hatching, it was this one, For months things ara denied by well-informed persons and by the more respectable leaders of the Republican party themselves, and we have never met with an impartial Frenchman who be lieves in them. To the most exaggerated accounts of the number of the slain Mr. Kinglake, in spite of his comical assertion that "it is hard to believe such things," seems to give credit. According to a nameless Colonel, one regiment alone killed 2,460 men I As the regiments " operating against Paris" were between 30 and 40, 20 of which were on active work, he believes that " a very high number would be wanted for recording the whole quantity of the slaughter." Taking his own arithmetic, this would give a total loss of 48,000 killed ! We presume that from 20,000 to 25,000 would scarcely satisfy him. In great battles where large armies have stood face to face in serried ranks and in deadly strife from dawn to dark, such slaughter has probably never been witnessed : the total of the British killed at Waterloo was onty 2,109. How could it have been inflicted upon the passengers in a street and spectators at a window, who at the first shot would at once flee in all directions ? The very sight of a dozen dead bodies would naturally lead peaceful citizens to think that there had been a general massacre. l'heir evidence in the midst of these alarms, or in the anguish of remembrance, would be of little value to the historian. Mr. Kinglake, fmgetting the character of a judge in that of the partisan, accepts all without scruple. Two documents, however , exist, bearing an offic al cha racter,stoautninded, is quot e d b y Mr. Kinglake stating the loss of so ldi ers and officers of returns of the kil led a nd wounded in December, at 25 .killednand them, 8 4w ° of (p. 282). How comes he to omit all allusion to the corre4- ponding list, published at the same time, o f t h e c i v i l i ans 1 killed ? It would be an insult to the labours and re searches of eight ye Ira to suppose that he is not aware of its existence. The list to which we refer was drawn up by the " Chef giving li cense f or if s inter or of thi s ffi cer, t h e l ate em i • de la Salubrite," at the Hotel de la Prefecture, who s e duty it is to examine every dead body at the hospit a l s o f P ar i s m and n t. at Thehe Morgueam name a nd previous ch ara t t e nent surgeon M. Trebuchet, is a sufficient voucher for its veracity. According to it the total number of " persons not belonging to the army, ki led on the 3.1, 4th, 51h. and 6th of December, 1851, or dead of their wounds," amounted to 1911 No attempt could be made to ascertain the number of the wounded, who were, of course, concealed by their friends to keep clear of the police. The reason of Mr. Kinglake's silence with respect to the document we have quoted is evident. It demolishes at once his monstrous ins'nuation that the massacre of peaceful citizens on the Boulevards on the 4th December was the re sult of a cunningly devised scheme on the part of the Em peror Napoleon to awe the inhabitants of Paris, to establish his rule, mid to make himself the arbiter of the destinies of .

It was the evident interest of the Emperor that the inhabitants of Paris should be conciliated, and that bloodshed should be avoided as much as possible. It was to prevent it that he had arrested the leading depu- ties, including "the street captains and the chiefs of secret societies" (p. 253), and the heads of parties who might have organised resistance. Mr, Kinglake would surely not wish us to believe that there never had been an emeute in Paris. There had been many a one before ; there has been none since. PRICE .4d. STAMPED ....6d. Col. Towneley, Lord Uxbridge, Lord Wilton, Lord West moreland, Lord Winchilsea, and Lord Zetland. Lord GLASGOW moved the following resolution, which Was seconded by Lord STRATHMORE : " That after the termination of the First Spring Meeting, 1863, no race shall be run at Newmarket over a shorter dis tance than the T.Y.C., with the exception of 2. yr-old plates and stakes run between the commencement of the Craven and the end of the First October Meetings, which may be run any course not less than half a mile." This rule not to apply to matches, or to private sweep stakes of 25 sous each or upwards, Admiral Rous withdrew the amendment of which he had given notice, and Lord COVENTRY moved the follow ing amendment, which was seconded by Lord WINcHIL SEA :- " That all handicaps over a shorter distance than three quarters of a mile be abolished at Newmarket for the future." After some discussion a division took place, when the numbers were—for Lord Coventry's amendment, 7; for Lord Glasgow's motion 15. Lord Glasgow's motion was therefore declared to be carried. Admiral Rous then proposed to amend the second para graph of iule 42, as passed at the last meeting, by inserting after the words "the three stewards" the words "of the Jockey Club," which was unanimou-ly agreed to. A discussion rose upon this rule 42 generally, which was thouvht to require some attention, iu order not to limit un duly the power of stewards of country meetings, and also to define accurately the time at which cusp• nsion rhould com mence when a complaint against a jockey is not heard on the day on which the offence compl-ined of is committed, and some notices of amendment were given, to be taken into conside: ation at a meeting of the Jockey Club on Friday (to-day). Some further business not of a public nature was trans acted, and the meeting adjourned. The following totices of motion have been given for the meeting which is to be held to-day : "To insert in the second paragraph of rule 42, as pub lished in Sheet Calendar, No. XIT., after the words 'no jockey can be susp-nded ' the words beyond the meeting at which the offence is committed.' " " lro add to the third paragraph, after the words last race of the day,' the words 'on which the punishment is awarded.' " LAW INTELLIGENCE.-April 23. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. :sittings in Banco at Westminster, before Lord Chief Justice Cockburn, Mr. Justice Crompton, Mr. Justice Blackburn, and Mr. Justice Mellor.) EN PARTE THE EARL OF CARDIGAN V. LIEUTENANT COLONEL THE HON. SOMERSET TALBOT CALTHORPE. - THE LIGHT CAVALRY CHARGE AT BALAKLAVA. In this case, relating to the bravely-made but calamitous light cavalry charge at Balaklava, Major General the Earl of Cardigan, who commanded the brigade and led on the charge, complains that he has been grossly misrepresented. Mr. Bovill, Q.C., with whom was Mr. Garth, now applied, on behalf of the noble and gallant general, the Earl of Cardigan, for a rule calling upon the Hon. Lieutenant-Colonel Somerset Talbot Cal- horpe, who served in the Crisman war, and who has written a book entitled "Letters from Head quarters, the Realities of the War in the Crimea," by an officer on the Staff, to show cause why a cri minal action should not be filed against him for a libel reflecting upon, and calculated, if uncontra dicted, to reflect upon and prove injurious to the military reputation of the noble and gallant general. The libel complained of was contained in the de scription of the attack by the light cavalry brigade, under the command of the Earl of Cardigan, upon the Russian batteries at Balaklava, in which the noble earl =tended that his military character and honour had been impeached, by its being said he did not take his brigade through the battery, but that, " on coming up to the battery (as he after.. wards himself described it), a gun was fired close to him, and for a moment he thought his leg was gone. Such was not the case, as he remained unhurt. However, his horse took fright—swerved round— and galloped off with him to the rear, passing, on the way, by the 4th Light Dragoons and Bth Hussars, before these regiments got up to the battery." Eirl Cardigan, after the first edition of the work, called the author's attention to the above erroneous statement, and in the second edition, without altering the original text, he pub lished a notice, in which he simply stated that no doubt the statement that his horse ran away with him was erroneous. In a third edition he still retained the objectionable passage, with a similar note. Mr. Kinglake's recent work on the Crimea had again called attention to the events there, and the noble earl found that these calumnies in reference to the charge at Balaklava were being freely spoken about in public society. In February he called upon the author to stop the publication of the work, or expunge the objectionable passage, but he declined to do so, and he therefore felt bound to make the present application. The learned gentle referred to and quoted largely from affidavits which he put in in support of his motion, deposing that there had been much misapprehension and misre presentation on the subject of the light cavalry charge at Balaklava, and in support of the manner in which the Earl of Cardigan led the charge, and concluded, after much discussion, in submitting that he was entitled to a rule. The court granted a rule nisi. The Esrl of Cardigan was in court, and sat in ,he Queen's counsel box, close to his counsel, while ,he motion was being made. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. (Sittings at Nisi Prius in Middlesex.—Before Mr. Justice Williams and a Common Jury.) DYER V. BRODIE-ALLEGED IMPROPER DISMISSAL. SINGULAR CASE. This was an action to recover damages for an alleged improper dismissal from the defendant's service, and also to recover money claimed to be due for work done. ~~~~~ J SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NEWMARKET FIRST SPRING MEETING THIIR,DAy. On the " Newmarket Oaks" day there is usually a large attendance of the fair sex, who congregate fon the heath to witness the performances of their favourites just as they 0 at Epsom, though, of course, not in corresponding num bers, To-day, however, very few ladies appeared, in api to of the continued fine weather, and the attendance of all classes was below the average. From the well-known un certainty attending the running of mares at this early sea son, there is far less interest connected with this race than with that for the Two Thousand Guineas, as it does not afford the same key to the Oaks which the latter gives to the Derby. The race was won on this iccasion in the most hollow manner by Lord Stamford's mare, the second also belonging to his lordship, whose success, after a long series of disappointments, gave the highest satisfaction to a large majority of the spectators. The whiner is a fine slashing mare, bat from her running in the Chesterfield last year, when she was beaten by Saccharometer it was feared that she was unable to stay ; having' shown in the early part of that race that she was possessed of sufficient pace, but dying away at the finish, her stoutness was re garded as very doubtful. She is engaged in the Oaks, as welt as Flying Fish and the three placed next. Tornado, who started an even favourite with the winner, was not persevered with beyond the entrance to the cords, and it is probable that she might have run second to her, but hay.. ing no chance for the first place she was very properly re served for the great Epsom event. The winner was pur chased of Lord Derby, and Flying Fish of Mr. Tattersall. Lord Stamford being thus at length rewarded for his num berless spirited purchases of racing stock.

At the first attempt Eleanor and Atherstone went in front, but before they had gone a couple of hundred yards the Giraffe colt rushed past them and made the running at a quick pace, the other two named lying next, with Poland in the rear. At the entrance to the cords Atherstone came through, and, getting the best of it in a few strides, won easily by two lengths, Eleanor being a bad third ; Poland improved his position a quarter of a mile from home and finished fourth ; Dunsinane was beaten off, A Handicap Sweepstakes of 10 sovs each, for 3•yr-olds and upwards. _ Last half of Ab.

Thus they ran through the ditch gap, when Lady Augusta took close order with her stable companion, the remainder lying in compact order. Ascend ing the hill Marigold emerged from the background, but about half way up Lady Augusta came out, followed by her stable companion, the former winning in a canter by three lengths, a like distance separating the pair from Cadeau, who beat Marigold three lengths for third place, Tornado was fifth, and Tease-me-Not and Amelia were next, the last, beaten a long way, being Curie.

Powlett, Mr. Payne, Mr. Saville, Lord Stamford, Lord Strathmore, Lord Strafford, *‘_ 7 ~ -r i ~~ .E SPA PE , t A 4; mined as to matters k.lOl, creditable to‘theng plaintiff said that be bad been for three years a clerk in the Bank of England, but he left that employment, and two or three years after he came of age he was insolvent, his debts being about £1,700. He also admitted that he had forged a cheque for £l5, and had obtained £3 upon it from the proprietor of a night house in the neighbourhood of the Haymarket. The plaintiff said that h e comm i tte d the forgery when he was drunk, and had no recollection of the circumstances. It teemed that the litigation, in refer ence to which the plaintiff had assisted the defendant, consisted of th ree actions, which were referred to arbitration. The nature of the actions was that the plaintiff sued a person named Pugh for £350, and another person named Spiers for £150; both sums due for money lent ; whilst on the other blind Pugh sued the defendant for " commission" for in troducing to him a Miss Dermot. The sum claimed was £1,200, and the commission was calculated upon the basis of an alleged agreement that the defendant should give Pugh half the amount of money, which he should obtain from Miss Dermot by way of gilt or loan. Tne defendant's version of his connection pith Miss Dermot was, that about three years ago he met her "promiscuously," and was not introduced to her by Pugh. The acquain tance was broken off, but was afterwards re newed and they cohabited togeter, although the defendant had at the time a wife and family. Miss Dermot gave him £2,500 to set up in busi ness, and he had also had of her about £2,000 in addition. His Lordship, in summing up, went carefully through the evidence, and directed the jury to con sider which set of evidence they gave credence to. The jury, after considering the matter for half an hour, found a verdict for the defendant. li \ COURT OF EXCHEQUER. (Sittings in Banco, before Lord Chief Baron Pollock and Barons Martin, Bramwell, and Wilde.) AN ATTORNEY FINED. A rule had been obtained calling upon an attor ney named Paget to show cause why he should not be struck off the rolls for misconduct in making cer tain untrue statements on affidavits of increase, for the purpose of getting a larger amount of costs than he was entitled to in five actions relating to a water course, which came on at the assizes at York, but were referred for arbitration. The report of the master, going elaborately into the whole circumstances, had been read by Master Fredk. Pollock to the court on a previous day. Mr. M anistY, (LC., on the part of the attorney, now showed cause against the rule. He admitted that his client had made some unfortunate mistakes, and had not exercised proper care and caution, but urged as an excuse the many difficult and compli. cated matters arising out of the five actions, and said that the acts complained of were done inno cently, and with no intention whatever to make fic titious charges in his bills of cost. Mr. T. Jones was also heard on the same side. Mr. Overend, Q.C. (with whom was Mr. Rew) appeared in support of the rule, but said he was con tent to leave the case upon the report of the was Ler without any comments of his own. The Lord Chief Baron, after a consultation with his learned brothers, said this was one of the most serious questions which could arise in the adminis tration of justice. An application was made to strike an attorney off the rolls on the ground that he had on several occasions made charges which he had no right to make, and supported them with affidavits which certainly turned out to be untrue. It was one of the duties of the superior courts of Westminster-hall to watch over the conduct of those officers who carried on their business, and this court was now called upon to pronounce an opinion on the conduct of one whose counsel ad mitted had been guilty of great negligence and carelessness, and considerable indifference to the character and reputation of a very honourable branch of the profession. On the integrity and honour of that branch of the profession a great part of the safety of the community depended. Per sons of large property entrusted their estates en tirely to them; and n hen any one employed a well known and respectable member of the body he ge nerally reposed in him the most implicit confidence, and it was satisfactory to the court to reflect that in general that confidence was well reposed. The court did not think they were called upon to strike this attorney off the rolls for what might have been only an extremely slovenly and irregular mode of conducting his business, but he appears to have taken no pains to ascertain, as every one who made an affidavit ought to do, whether the matters he swore to were correct. From the line of argument pursued it would appear that this was very much the mode in which a large portion of the business in this and other courts were conducted. If that were so it was high time that it should be understood that it must not be continued. It was high time that the ccurt should interfere, but it was not necessary in this case, which brought the subject first before the court, that they should make a very grave example; but if the court now• showed any leniency, it must not be drawn into a precedent for the impunity of those who might be subsequently guilty of this practice. The judg ment of the court was that so much of the rule as prayed that Mr. Paget should be struck off the roll of attorneys should be discharged, but on con dition that he paid a fine of £lOO, and also paid all the costa of the rule and of the proceedings, before the master. Judgment accordingly. ARREST OF AN ENGLISH AUTHOR BY THE FEDE RALS.—A Washington telegram of the 9th says : " George B. Lawrence, author of the well-known romance, ' Guy Livingstone,' was arrested a mile and a half beyond our picket lines last night, while making his way to Rich mond. Lawrence arrived in this country two or three weeks since from England, and has occupied his time since with prominent Secessionists in this city and in Baltimore.
