(ROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF TIIIS DAY. GLOBE.—Sir Andrew Agnew's address to Lord Aberdeen, to see the manner in which her Majesty keeps her Sundays, while she continues in Scotland, is a graceful display of the mantle of John Knox fallen on lay shoulders. In the sixteenth century, clerical monitions to Majesty at church and at Court were more frequent, and much more violent, than attacks on crowned heads now are in the " loading articles" of the most Republicans sheele of the Fourth Estate. The Church reformers were a real Fourth Estate, representing (like the press at ex cited epochs) the movement of the public mind in antagonism to, or independence of, the other three. The last Queen who was adtnonished about her reli gious observances in Scotland, was thrown by educa tion, and by most natural repugnance to rude schooling, into that attitude of antagonism to popular feeling which happily has no parallel now. The impulse of Mary, and the elaborate iropolicy of her son, in opposition to that feeling, hare been judged by history ; but the dar. ing novelty of style (presuming on a divine commission) has not beon taken quite sufficiently into account as necessarily revolting those " born in the purple"—at a time when royalty had a much more unapproachable aenee of itself than it has now. It was, in fact, the old sacred majesty of the throne and the new sacred assumption of the pulpit confronting each other, with out any softening medium—things which would asto nish us, signed " Publicola" or " Brutus" in Sunday Papers, were said at. church to hearers humming as sent, or even at court, in the ears of royalty. Some times, indeed, couched in a Latin epigram —as that most slashing one which poor King Jamie, seeing the listener smile, made Andr e w M e l v ill e repeat to him, and the occasion of which was the monarch's broad and undignified mirth, while in deep mourning for his mother— " Scilicet hie matreas plorat ut illa patrem." It would be difficult to kill two royal birds with one stone more succinctly; and such an epigram, re peated to a King in his own court, " bangs Ba nagher." The comparison of the son's hypocrisy in pretending to mourn his mother, with that mother's hypocrisy in pretending to mourn his (James's) father (whom the epigrammatist, of course, takes it for granted she murdered), is certainly the coolest on dit ever Latinised impromptu in royalty's ears. Honest Andrew stipulated he should take no harm for it before he repeated it to his Majesty ; and, we have no doubt, thought it by much too good a joke to be lost. He had afterwards leisure to compose more such epigrams —in the Tower. The modern Andrew accosts the milder Aberdeen w ith more courtly circumbendibus. lie does not state, or even insinuate, any Old Testament parallels. He does not accost the royal conscience with quite the same plainness as Knox. " Con science requires knowledge; but you have no more real knowledge than the Jews who crucified Christ." Indeed, as the modern Andrew avows, he has no sort of occasion or plea to do so. He expresses his "thankfulness to Almighty God, who at another time put it into the heart of our Protestant Queen to hallow the holy day of the Lord of the Sab bath, in a foreign land." Sir Andrew does not allege that her Majesty has since shown any lapse from Protestantism, or any the slightest disposition to swerve from exemplary religious observance. llf considers, however, and lie undertakes to speak in the name (though without having had time to " gather" the signatures) of " the friends of the observance of the Lord's-day in Scotland—that her Majesty's good habits cannot be trusted to continue—without his intervention ! We have hesitated to notice this absurd impertinence ; any we have now done with it. But it gives us a peg on which to hang perhaps an impertinence 01 our own. We have sometimes thought (and pro ' vincial communications have confirmed our impres sion) that the Royal Family of late divest themselve: a little too entirely of what the French call "repre sentation," throughout their provincial progresses, It is not of course to be expected that her Ma jesty shauld submit to pompous and triumphal doings immediately after the fatigues of sea voy ages; or allow the atra cure of Court ceremonial to pursue her to Blair Athol. However. in our humble, but very loyal view, the dis appointment expressed so often, that the Queen ap pears to all her remoter subjects " just like any other Lady" —is not altogether Without some ground, and without some claim on attention. We have had long letters on former occasions, in grievous complaint of her Majesty's fast trains—and of her plain stray, bonnet. We were witnesses to decided disappointment last year on the part of " Young Bristol," when Prince Albert came to launch the Great Britain in a plait black coat, and white waistcoat—just like any other gentleman ! Provincial spectators understand this taste fill and unassuming style just as little as those habi. tuated to splendours understand the provincial appetite for them. But, after all, is it not natural enough that her Majesty's loyal subjects, who are not gratified, a Londoners are, with the sight of royal personages. and processions on the grand state occasions, shoul, desire, once in their lives, to see something corres ponding with all they have been accustomed to heat and imagine of those occasions ? It must, however, be admitted that those who recollect " George the Magnificent," and his ideas of all that, graced royalty, may well rejoice in the present contrast. STANDARD.—An article of this morning's Times recals us to a subject upon which we have more than once claimed the attention of our readers— emigration. The remarks of the Times are crude and ill• natured enough, but they suggest by these very faults considerations which it may be well to, the public to weigh with care. The Times sneers a plans of emigration as schemes of cheap and hypo critical benevolence, and asks, with an air of insulting triumph, why the English aristocracy, imitating the early Greek, and, we suppose ; earlier Phoenician, founders of States, do not themselves embark as em i gran t s . All this is very foolish, if no worse. An extensive drain by emigration is a necessity to a great and an advancing country, whether that country is or is not peopled up to its capacity, or ever within a tenth of its capacity. The solution of this paradox, if it deserves the name, is obvious. The country may not be overstocked,' but the classes into which its 's icial circumstances have cast the Population easily may run to excess , and it is the surplus of classes for which there is no recipient at home, which claims relict' by emigration. It is easy to say, reform your social system, so as to provide at home for all. But, besides that this has never been done, and that it is obviously opposed to the great scheme of Divine - wisdom in the government ef the world, to what would it amount but to a plan to imprison nations and to starve them after arriving at the point at which population might pass production? No ; emigration, is necessary for the happiness of all in a progres sive country—for time happi ness of those who emigrate, as we ll as o f th ose who remti,atein , fro e r s tr z : cially necessary to protect the social s constant tendency to deterioration. One o f two things you must have, a check to the increase of population, which can be obtained only by the agency of misery or vice, or room for the additions made to the people in their several classes. With whatever motives, therefore, emigration may he recommended, the proposition is nevertheless one de serving of all favour. We believe that generally of late years emigration has been recommended in a sin cere and benevolent spirit, and we will not admit ti e sneering sug4estion of the Times, as to the emigra tion of the aristocracy, as any argument to tle contrary. The aristocracy, generally so called, are the landholders of the country. They are the adscripti glebce, exactly the one class to „l om locomotion is by circumstances forbidden. What rational motive can be supposed to influence ;the possessor of acres in Kent or Devon to sell his estates, and " seek new seats beyond the western " main," or the southern main, or any other sea? And not only to seek new seats, but new society and new social duties, fur io`selling his estates he separates himself from the tenantry and labourers on his lands, for whom, as a Christian and an English gentleman, h e is bound to provide with almost its much anxiety 1e 3 6, Captain Preemantle ' lef.

A Commission de lunatic() inquirendo was opened al .he Ship Inn, Waltham Abbey, before Mr. Commis sioner Winslow, and a special jury of sixteen gentle men of the county of Essex, of whom J. Colvin, Esq., was foreman, to inquire as to the state of m i n d of Thomas Telford Campbell, Esq., aged forty, only son of the late poet, Thomas Campbell, Esq., de scribed in the Commission as of" Dr. Allen's Asylum, High Beech, Essex, bachelor." The case excited the greatest interest in the neigh bourhood, and the court was much crowded. Mr. Moxon appeared as counsel, and Messrs. Der ton, Barker, and Choppin appeared as solicitors to the Commission, which was unopposed. The Com mission was taken out at the instance of the trustees, under the will of a relative, from which the subject of the Commission derives an annuity. The inquiry was rendered necessary by the demise of his father, under whose will he, however, takes no property. After the jury had been sworn, and the proceedings were about to commence, Mr. Campbell, having ex pressed a wish to be present, walked into the room unattended, and after bowing respectfully to the court, took his seat by the side of the Learned Com missioner. He is about five feet five inches in height, dark complexion, very good-humoured co un t enance , w i t h a stout, robust, muscular frame. He throughout paid the greatest attention to the proceedings, and evinced no symptoms of a disordered intellect. The Learned COMMISSIONER having addressed the jury explanatory of the laws of lunacy, Mr. Moxon addressed the jury at some length to the following effect :—He had the honour to appear for the trustees for the annual payment of a sum of money to Mr. Thomas Telford Campbell, and who felt it unsafe to continue such payment until a jury had decided as to the state of his mind. It was about fourteen years since that Mr. Campbell's father, in consequence of some extraordinary conduct, had deemed it necessary for his protection to _place him under the care of Dr. Allen, at hisasylum, High Beach, Essex. He was sent there under the usual medical certificate, signed by Dr. Scott and another gentleman. Mr. Campbell had continued to reside there up to the present time, but for the whole period from his first entering the establishment he had been fully at liberty, without the slightest confine ment or restraint, as Dr. Allen deemed it a mild case, and only thought a little moral control necessary, such as restraining him from drink, to which he had formerly been accustomed; he, therefore, used to walk where he pleased daily after breakfast, returning to dinner, and again, season and weather permitting, until between eight and nine o'clock in the evening. He was a great pedestrian, frequently walking thirty or forty miles per day ; in fact, he was computed to have travelled over a distance of 80,000 miles during his residence at High Beach Asylum. He is parti cularly attached to the neighbourhood of Woodford and Epping Forest. He was perfectly harmless, but had several singular delusions. One was, that Chinn's Lozenges, which he had formerly taken, had got into his bones and destroyed his constitu tion ; and he had some time since accustomed himself to lie down in the sun in the Forest, in order, as he said, to evaporate Chinn's Lozenges out of his bones, and eradicate the diseases they had engendered. He took occasional dislikes to some of the inmates at Dr. Allen's, and had been known to attack some, when, as he said, they got in his way in the passage, although, on such occasions, there was plenty of room for him, and he would afterwards say that he thought - he ought to thrash them well. He had exhibited some extraordinary conduct to the tailor who worked for the establishment, and to the slaugh terman who killed the beasts, &c., for the use of the inmates; in the latter case he had eaten part of the brains of an ox which had been just killed; be would have them warm from the head, without being cooked, and ate them without any bread. Mr. Moxon having detailed the delusions and general conduct in accord ance with the subjoined evidence, expressed a hope that, whatever present appearances of sanity Mr. Campbell might present, the jury would not, after hearing the evidence, consider that his late lamented father had placed him unnecessarily under restraint; indeed, it could not be supposed that he could have so treated his only child, except for his due care and pro tection Mrs. Mary Johnstone was then examined. She stated that her husband was a surgeon, of Dover street, Piccadilly. She was an old friend of the family, particularly of Mr. Campbell's late mother. About 14 or 15 years ago witness was in London, and on a visit to Mrs. Campbell. She observed that young Mr. Campbell's manners were very peculiar. Once when at dinner he took offence because the foot- man accidently removed his chair, upon which, with out saying a word, he got up and left the table, went out of the house, and did not return for several hours. On other occasions, when the family would be taking lunch or other meals, he would sometimes take it into his head that he was not wanted, and would suddenly THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 23, X 844, :as for his own family. The non-emigration of the aristocracy, therefore, is no proof of insincerity on their part when they recommend emigration. lie who suggests to a young friend to try his fortune a broad is not less sincere or friendly in offering the suggestion, because his own business, by which he 113 to support his wife and children and maintain us and their position in society, keeps himself at home. ;Still every one must see that emigration is not ;yet placed upon a satisfactory footing, and must ;idmit that our colonial system would be infinitely :improved by a more just and natural proportion in the classes of emigrants going out ; or by sending forth, as it were, our colonial societies "in frame," instead of sending nothing but the raw material, and that of the plainest quality and in the rudest state. THE LATE REPORTED SAILING MATCH BETWEEN THE FRENCH BRIG OF WAR ADONIS AND THE VINDICTIVE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin.,—Having just seen, with.more surprise than I can express, a paragraph in The Sun, copied from the Globe French journal, in which it is represented that the Adonis had sailed with the Vindictive in the Pacific, and had had a considerable advantage over her, and that, on the return of each to Europe, the Adonis had maintained the same advantage, I am led to observe that I feel assured that these statements have been made wholly unknown to my worthy friend, Captain the Viscount St. George, whose cha racter stands too high ever to have sanctioned their insertion, because no such occurrence ever took place as a sailing match between the Adonis and Vindictive. It is true that the Adonis was at Callao in the month of January last, when the Vindictive sailed on a trial with the American frigates United States and Constellation, and when she beat the former about five miles and the latter full fifteen miles, in a run of eight hours, going from five to seven miles an hour by the wind ; but, to my great disapppointment, the Adonis did not join in this race, she having remained at anchor in Callao roads. About ten days after this, think on the 2d of February, when the Vindictive was under easy sail, exercising in the Bay of Callao, the Adonis was ob served bearing out, on her way to Valparaiso and France. I immediately steered towards her, the wind being very light, i n or d er t o bid C a pt a i n St. George and his officers farewell, and on our approaching very close to her, I directed our band to play the French national air, which was acknowledged by the French officers taking off their pals. We then separated ; the Vindictive hauling in the opposite tack towards Callao. It being very nearly calm at this time, it would have been impossible to have tried the rate of had I wished to have done so ; but having beaten the American frigates, I did not like offering to try the Adonis unless her Captain had invited me to do it. Thus, Sir, you will see that the statement about the epaulettes is quite imaginary, at least so far as it relates to the Vindictive. Possibly it may have oc curred with sonic other of our ships, for as the Adonis left Valparaiso for France in the month of March, it cannot be a matter of surprise that she should have reached the English Channel before the Vindictive, which did not quit Valparaiso until the month of May. _ _ As to the sailing qualities of the Vindictive, all 1 can say is, that during our voyage round the world, we never met with any vessel that could compete with her. When she was first commissioned, and we were sent to to the Downs to receive the King of Prussia, the Warspite appeared to have the advan tage of us, but the Vindictive was then nearly a foot too much by the stern. We had no trial of sailing whatever with any ship in the Channel previous to our going to China. On that voyage we were only 85 days under canvas from Torbay to Hong- Kong, and five at anchor. We sailed from England on the 21st of Mani), and anchored at Hong-Kong on the 19th of June, having reached Madeira in four days and a half, crossed the line on the 16th day, and passed the Cape of Good Hope on the 40th day from England. No ship, I believe, ever did more than this, and all the qualities of the Vindictive are quite equal to those of her sailing. I most happily avail myself of this occasion to express the gratification it afforded me during the whole of my services in the Pacific, and especially during the execution of my delicate duties at Ota heite, to have been on terms of friendly intimacy with the French officers with whom I had inter course ; and from the captains of the French merchant ships, also, I repeatedly received grateful acknow ledgments for the aid I had afforded them whenever they needed assistance ; and I trust, whenever I may again be called into active service, that I shall find opportunities of evincing the same good feeling. I have the honour to be, Sir, &c., I. TOUP NICOLAS, Late Captain of the Vindictive. Devonport, Sept. 19. EXEMPTION or FARMING STOCK FROM AUCTION DCTV.—Many questions having arisen as to the extent of this exemption, we have made inquiry, and the result is that it does not apply to cider, butter, cheese, flour, &c. ; neither does it extend to all property which may belong to a farmer, but only to such things as belong to, and are used on, the land. Green-houses, hot-houses, nurserymen's stock, &c., are not considered to come within the exemption.— Wiltshire Independent. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, SEPT. 22. The experimental squadron is not yet ready for sea, although we ex pectei it would have been by the 20th ; but the truth of whit we stated a few weeks ago is now proved— seamen are not so plentiful as supposed, and numbers, tired of waiting for the brigs to be commissioned, really have left the port for other places and employ ment. Tenders are daily arriving with hands from other ports, and vessels sent from this and other ports to convey seamen. This would not have been the case had the brigs been commissioned when ready, and hundreds of the finest and best hands would have been secured to the service. We stated last week that the Daring entered her complement, and could have entered many more on the day she hoisted her pendant. This has been seized upon (as we expected it would be), as corroboratory of the statements made in certain daily and weekly "sources of information" upon the present efficient state of our naval force. It is, in fact, however, corroborative of no such allega tion, but merely proves this, that the Daring and Waterwitch,heing the first of the squadron commis sioned, had a rush made to enter for them, and the former having a very excellent commander, and a very " winning" look, was manned, and to spare, before her sister had half her complement on her books, and be fore the other vessel of the squadron had entered a single hand. The Queen, 110, Captain Martin, is completing provisions for five months at Spithead. She will be inspected on Tuesday by the Commander-in-Chief, and sail in a day or two after for Plymouth. The Styx, steam-surveying-vessel, Captain Vidal, having coaled and replenished stores, left on Friday afternoon to resume her duties in the Azores. The Alfred, 50, Commodore Purvis, and the Ardent, steam-sloop, Commander J. Russell, left Monte Video on the 26th of June for Rio. Captain Talbot, of the Vestal, is to command the English squadron before Monte Video, until his sailing for India, when the squadron will be commanded by Japtain Sir T. S. l'asley, of the Curacoa, 24. The Gorgon steamer was still 2shore on the 30th of June A Court-martial, consisting of Captain C. Talbot, of the Vestal, President; Captain Sir T. S. Pasley, of the Curacoa; Captain C. Hotham, of the Gorgon; Capt. Willis, of the Frolic ; and Commander J. Rus sel, of the Ardent ; assembled on board the Vestal, at Monte Video, on the 19th of June, to try Mr. George Durbin, late mate of her Majesty's ship Alfred, on the following charges preferred by the Admiralty, viz.:— " 1. For general neglect of duty during the period of his belonging to the said ship Alfred. " 2. For uncourteous behaviour towards Commo lore Purvis, and remonstrating with him on the dis cipline of the ship in March, 1843. " 3. For leaving a boat and neglecting to report two of the crew, although they were drunk on duty, he being the officer in charge of the said boat." After some deliberation the Court found the pri soner guilty of the second charge only, but in con sequence of his previous good character, and the time which had elapsed since the date of the offences charged, the Court sentenced him to be severely re primanded only. The Fisgard, 42, Captain Duntze, arrived at Val paraiso on the 25th of May, and was joined on the 3d of June by the Daphne, 18, Captai❑ Onslow, from Monte Video. The Comorant, 6, steam sloop, Commander Gordon, left Valparaiso for Callao on the 3d of June. The Rose, 18, Commander Sturt, sail t d on th e 3d ult. from Sacrificicz for New Orleans, where she ,trrived on the 17th with dispatches from Mr. Bank head, in Mexico to the British Minister at Washing ton. She returned immediately to Vera Cruz, where the shortly expected the arrival of the Inconstant, 36, Captain Fremantle, to relieve her. The Spartan, 26, Captain the Hon. C. G. J. P. EllioPt, left Port Royal for llavannah on the 6th of August. leave the room. When witness was about to depart, and wished to take leave of him, he, for no apparent reason, ran to his bed-room, locked himself in, and would not come out, although she went and knocked at his bed-room door; indeed, he became exceedingly excited, and, after some time, opened his door and re marked that witness was no lady for coming to a gentleman's bed-room, and he then ref use d t o co me out; in fact, shut the door in her face. She then thought, from his excited state and extraordinary conduct, that he was labouring under delusions, and that his mind was consequently impaired. Dr. Allen bore out a considerable portion of the learned counsel's statement, adding that Mr. Campbell was formerly allowed only 6d. per day pocket money, but it had been latterly increased to Is., as although he had formerly drank he had only got in toxicated about three or four times during the whole fourteen or fifteen years ; and of late he had discon tinued spirits, taking, as he said, oatmeal as a substitute, and he, in consequence, got better in health generally. His dislikes to the other inmates were rather singular; he fancied they annoyed him, and one in particular he had taken an objection to ; he said the very smell of him would make any man mad. He also appeared to dislike a lady who was an inmate, and also a lad who was in his (Dr. Allen's) employ. Neither party had given him any offence, and therefore his com plaint, that they annoyed him, was without founda tion. Mr. Campbell objected to wearing woollen garments, preferring corduroy trousers as being lighter and better to walk in ; for the same reason also he wore generally a coat and waistcoat of cashmerette, or some equally light material. He (Dr. Allen) had been 25 years conducting High Beach Asylum, and had had great experience in cases of lunacy, and it was hs opinion, that although Mr. Campbell was perfectly harmless, and very shrewd, yet ke laboured under certain delusions, and was decidedly of un sound mind. Mr. Johnstone, surgeon, of Dover-street, Picca dilly, husband of the first witness, was also of opinion thr:t Mr. Campbell was not of sound mind. Henry Davis, the tailor to Dr. Allen's establish ment, proved Mr. Campbell's peculiar aversion to woollen cloths, and also the dislike he appeared to en tertain for several of the inmates, as well as all con nected with Dr. Allen's house. John Birkett stated that he was the slaughterman or butcher at Dr. Allen's asylum. Mr. Campbell was very fond of watching the operations of killing cattle, sheep, &c. When witness was slaughtering an ox, about three months since, Mr. Campbell was present, and said he should like to eat some of the brains. Wit ness said of course he would have them cooked, but Mr. Campbell said they were more pure and efficacious in their natural state, and actually ate them warm as they came from the head of the animal, without either having them cooked or eating a morsel of bread with them. - William Roe, one of the attendants at Dr. Allen's, also gave evidence confirmatory of the previous testi mony ; and Mr. Carey, a surgeon, of Woodford, who had been in the habit of frequently meeting and con versing with Mr. Campbell during his rambles, was called on the part of the latter to testify as to his sa nity, but he agreed with the other two medical gen tle men, that Mr. Thomas Telford Campbell was de cidedly of unsound mind. Mr. Campbell put several questions to the witnesses, ' and occasionally made some very pertinent remarks, observing that the witnesses had given their evidence very fairly, but were wrong in their conclusions; and explained to the jury such parts of the evidence as he seemed to think bore against him. He said—" I did not eat the whole of the brains of the ox, but only a small portion, and, therefore, the witness (Birkett) must be mistaken. Mrs. Johnstone must also be mis taken. .1 did not behave in the way she described ; the fact is I was unwell, and confined myself to my room, and did not want to be disturbed. I suppose I offended my father because I did not seem to think enough of myself. He wanted me to go more into society, which I did not feel disposed to do. I have not been particularly well educated. I was sent to school in France, but I ran away from it, and was stopped at Boulogne because I had no passport, and was detained there till proper inquiries were made." By a juror —He ran away from school because he was not comfortable. Mr. Campbell continued—He had given the solici tors the names of certain witnesses, who could sp ea k as to his general conduct at Woodford, &c., but none of them, excepting Mr. Carey, had attended. This he regretted, as the result of the inquiry might, in consequence, be unfavourable to him ; but he hoped the jury would take that circumstance into their con sideration, as it had arisen from his i gnorance o f t h e law, and he trusted his case would not thereby be affected. He would suggest that the inquiry should be adjourned, to procure the attendance of those wit nesses.—(it was here explained to Mr. Campbell, that such matter was not of sufficient importance to require an adjournment, upon which he appeared satisfied.) Mr. Campbell then went on to say, that the fact of a man being locked up in a read-house, for some years, would lead people to suppose that he was mad. Of the annoyances to which people were subjected in such establishments, none could form any idea who had never resided in them—none could imagine the effect of constant association with insane persons. Whatever decision the jury might arrive at, he was himself satisfied that he was perfectly sane. Mr. Campbell throughout conducted himself with the greatest urbanity, coolness, and composure ; in deed no one could have supposed that he had been an inmate of a lunatic asylum, or that his intellects had been impaired. Mr. Commissioner WINsLow summed up with great clearness and impartiality —so much so, that the Learned Counsel deemed it unnecessary to offer any observations. The jury, aftera brief consultation, retired, and after an absence of nearly an hour, returned into court, when their names were called ever by Mr. Boniface, of the Under Sheriff's office. gave orders for a coat. Witness asked prisoner for his name and address, when Sparks presented the card of Mr. Edgar White, the prosecutor in the pre vious case. After the coat had been delivered fre quent applications were made for payment, but the party applying was informed that if he called again he would be kicked out of the office. Another tradesman, a bootmaker in Londin- wall, also preferred a charge against the prisoner of a similar nature. Mr. Alderman WOOD inquired if there were any other charges ?—A. gentleman stepped forward, and said that many might be preferred provided time was allowed. Unfortunately, Sparks had victimised him, but it could not be said to be a felony, Sparks having repeatedly come to his shop, and ordered small arti cles, taking out a purse apparently containing sove reigns, by way of illusion, and with the view of instilling confidence in his credit. He so far suc ceeded in this ruse that one of the young men on the establishment was induced to trust him to the extent of several pounds. After some further investigation the MAGISTRATE ordered that the prisoner should be remanded until Tuesday. GUILDHALL. John Smith, a horse-dealer, lodging in Blackfriars road, was re-examined on suspicion of having stolen a bay horse, which he had taken to Dixon's Repository. The policeman stated that the horse answered the description of one stolen in Cambridgeshire. The prisoner said that he bought the horse at Ips wich fair ; but it appeared that the description, in the receipt he produced, did not tally with that of the mare. Mr. Alderman HUGHES remanded the prisoner till Tuesday, to give time for inquiries to be made, and obeserved that when a case was complete against a prisoner, and he was committed for trial, the news papers published it; but where the publication of the first examination of a prisoner, and of the property found upon him, might lead to the discovery of the owners, this useful information to the public was rarely given. BOW-STREET. James Carruthers, who was remanded on a charge of sending threatening letters to Messrs. Coutts, the bsnkers, with intent to obtain 2001., was b roug ht u p for final examination. No fresh evidence was ad duced, and, as we gave the particulars of the case be fore, it is unnecessary to repeat them. The witnesses were all bound over, and the prisoner was committed for trial. UNION•HALL. THE LATE FRACAS IN THE VICTORIA THEATRE.— In the course of the day an application was made by a solicitor, on the part of Mr. J. H. Kirby, the actor, for a summons against Mr. Osbaldiston, the lessee of the Victoria Theatre, for refusing to allow him to enter the boxes on his tendering payment for the same. The solicitor, who was accompanied by Mr. Kirby, stated that on Thursday evening, at the termination of the fourth act of Othello, Mr. Osbaldiston told Miss Vincent not to speak the speeches, but to come to cues, and not to be humbugged by the "damned Yan kee." That Mr. Kirby was drunk, and hid insulted the whole company." But when Mr. Kirby sent to him for an explanation, he returned as his answer that he desired "no more words from Mr. Kirby." The latter gentleman having been apprised of the un founded accusation that had been brought against him by Mr. Osbaldiston, before the audience of the Vic toria, went there on the night in question, for the pur pose of contradicting the unjust aspersions on his cha racter. Mr. Kirby first assayed to get into the house by the stage door, but failing in the attempt, he then went round to the box entrance, and although he tendered the price of admission he was refused, the servants of the theatre, having, it appeared, received instructions not to admit him into any part of the house, so that he was precluded from appearing before the audience and neutralising the injurious report which had been propagated to his disadvantage. Had he been admitted into the house on Thursday night, his presence would have contradicted them, and exhi bited the utter groundlessness of the charge made against him, but he had no opportunity of carrying into effect his intentions, and the object of the present application was to have a summons issued against the lessee of the above theatre, to show the cause why he refused to admit into the house a gentleman who had tendered money for admission. The solicitor said he was prepared to prove that Mr. Kirby was perfectly sober at the time. Mr. COTTINGIIAM, in reply to the application, said he had great doubts whether the lessee could be com pelled to admit any person into the theatre whose pre sence he was averse to, but before he (the Magistrate) gave any advice on the subject, he should wish to see a copy of the license, which would enable him to de cide the question. It certainly seemed hard that the lessee of a theatre should exclude a person who was respectable in his appearance and sober from the house, setting aside the matter in dispute between the parties. Without the production of the license, how ever, as he said before, he would not undertake to give a decided opinion on the subject, but he had no objea tion to issue a summons requiring Mr. Osbaldiston's attendance on Wednesday next. The parties having thanked the magistrate, then withdrew. CLERKEIV WELL, Mr. Drake, an architect, residing at 41, Kenton street, Brunswick-square, was again placed at the bar to answer the charge of obtaining money by means of threats from Mr. Wm. Hoit, a cowkeeper. The clerk having read the evidence given on the previous examination, Mr. Robinson said, that from the very conflicting statements made by the complainant, and his evident inability to remember distinctly the different occur rences which had taken place, he was afraid he should not be able to obtain a conviction, and he therefore should not press the charge. The prisoner was then discharged, declaring, through his attorney, that the money was only borrowed. WORSHIP-STREET. Police-sergeant James Flynn, No. 37, attended be fore Mr. Broughton, by the direction of Superinten dent Johnson, to show cause why he had immured his wife, Ellen Flynn, in a lunatic asylum, she being at the time in a state of perfect sanity. The case was first brought under the notice of the magistrate about a week ago, when the s i s t er o f th e alleged lunatic appeared before him, and stated that her sister was married to the sergeant in Ireland about eighteen years ago, and that they had contrived by their mutual industry to accumulate a sum amount ing to nearly 2001., which had been deposited in the POLICE INTELLIGENCE. husband's name in a savings' bank; that they had (SATURDAY.) lived very happily together until about tw e l ve mont h s MANSION-HOUSE, ago, when repeated ruptures took place between them, ALLEGED FORGERT.—A case which excited a vast and the sergeant taking advantage of some trivial acts deal of interest from the character o f th e prosecut i on followed, tool; of violence on her part, which his ill-usag e h a d pro and the disclosures that subsequentlyyoked, had by fraudulent means induced t wo me di ca l place before Mr. Alderman Wood, w h o sat f or t h e practitioners to certify that his wife wa s i nsane , an d had thereby procured her incarceration in D r .

The verdict cruised extraordinary Sen sa ti on i n the room. Mr. Campbell immediately after remove d hi s lug gage from Dr. Allen's, and took elegant apartments at the house of the late Captain Sotherhy, near Woodford. the defendant was willing to make for her future maintenance. The defendant said that he had been paying 15s. a week to maintain her in the asylum, and he was willing to allow her half that sum if she would promise not to come near or molest him again, as he had been in danger of losing his situation through her turbulent conduct. Holland, the summoning officer, said that at the expiration of her first confinement in the asylum, Superintendent Johnson, with great kindness, re ceived her into his house, in the hope of being able to effect a reconciliation with her husband, and her conduct during the week she remained there was uniformly good and perfectly rational. After some further discussion, it was finally agreed that the defendant should allow her Bs. per week, be sides providing her with some clothes and other necessaries, and the parties then left the court. WAAVDS W ORTH. Thomas Hoy, John C'olleau, John Burn, and WM. Leech, four able-bodied men, vrere brought up in cus tody, upon the following charge : Mr. King, the master of the Wandsworth and Clapham Union, stated that the prisoners were ad mitted on the previous night as destitute persons. They were furnished with a bath, supper, and bed, and in the morning were required to pick two pounds of oakum each before breakfast. This they positively refused to comply with. He had recently discovered that a general combination had been entered into by the mendicants to resist that particular portion of the Act which required a casual pauper to execute a cer tain amount of labour in the morning before he had breakfast, or otherwise to leave the house without breakfast. Mr. PAYNTER, after explaining the law to the pri soners, said it was evident, from the cool manner in which they had gone to work, and the universal de fence that had been made by all casual paupers, brought before him last week, that a combination or conspiracy did exist, he could only tell the prisoners that, if they expected to benefit themselves by such conduct, they were miserably deceived. The last new Poor-law Act passed enabled magistrates to treat these cases more severely, and in future he would certainly act up to the letter of the law. In this case he would only in flict a punishment of 21 days' hard labour, trusting that the prisoners would advise other misguided per sons not to run into danger. The prisoners, oh their way to the station- house, said the master had guessed right—there was a com bination. EAST SURREY REGISTRATION Mr. S. C. Fish, the barrister appointed to revise the lists of voters for the division of the county of Surrey, held this first Court at Reigate, on Friday, at the Town-hall. Mr. Hart, of Reigate, attended as the Conservative agent, and Mr. Jeans appeared for the Liberals. There were several new claimants in the parish of Warlingham. The first was that of Amos Ashby. Mr. Jeans asked to be permitted to see the notice of claim. The REVISING BARRISTER asked him on what ground he made the application. There had been no objection made to the right of the party to vote. Mr. Jeans submitted that he was entitled to see the notice of claim, as he had reason to believe it was not in proper form. The Revising Barrister then handed over the claim to Mr. Jeans, who then objected that the qualifica tion was altogether incorrectly described, and that the claim could not be entertained. The REVISING BARRISTER said the claim was cer tainly informal, and the name was expunged from the list. The other claims were then proceeded with, and Mr. Jeans applied for permission to see each notice of claim. The REVISING BARRISTER said he would not allow it, as it was merely a sort of fishing for objections. If he was instructed that in any particular case the notice was informal, he would allow him to see that notice, but he would not permit him to see all the notices for the chance of being able to take some ob j ection. Mr. Jeans remarked, that having shown in one case already that the notice was informal, he thought he was justified in asking to see the others. The REVISING BARRISTER said that as no formal notice of objection had been given, he should consider the overseers had done their duty, and he could not permit the time of the court to be wasted in seeking for objections. The Rev. Mr. Fell claimed to vote. His qualifica tion was described as a rent-charge upon Warling ham Court Farm. Mr. Jeans submitted that this was not a proper description of the qualification. It should have been a " freehold" rent-charge. The REVISING BARRISTER said, that, no doubt, was the proper description, but the 40th section of 'the new Act gave him the power to amend the de scription. The overseer was then examined, and he proved that Mr. Fell received a yearly rent-charge of 101. from the farm in question. The REVISING} BARRISTER said that upon this evi dence he should insert the word " freehold." The name was then placed upon the list. Mr. Jeans said he trusted after what had taken place, the court would now allow him to see all the notices of new claims. Mr. Hart objected, and said, that in the absence of any formal objection, he though the court ought not to allow this to be done. He was not aware whether the claimants were Conservatives or Liberals, but he objected to the course proposed by Mr. Jeans upon principle. The REVISING BARRISTER said they knew nothing about Conservatives or Liberals in that court. If Mr. Jeans really believed that any of the notices of claims were informal, he did not think there could be any objection to his being allowed to see them. Mr. Hart said they were merely technical ob ! jections. Mr. Jeans said they were not merely technical ob i jections, for in one case the party h a d not even in serted he name of the division of the county or his qualification, and all that he inserted was "farmer." The REVISING BARRISTER decided that Mr. Jeans should see any claim which he believed to be informal, and one or two names were expunged upon objections as to the description of qualification, &c., taken by Mr. Jeans. In the parish of Holley, the right of a person who claimed to vote was objected to by the overseer on the ground that he was the keeper of the post-office. The REVISING BARRISTER said that a person hold ing such an office was not entitled to vote, and he therefore expunged the name. No matter of any interest occurred in the other lists. On Saturday Mr. Fish held his court at Croydon. Mr. Jeans again attended on behalf of the Liberals, and Mr. John Drummond and Mr. Chrees for the Conservatives. In the parish of Childen, John Brown claimed to vote. He described his qualification as " farmer." The REVISING BARRISTER said that if persons would not take the trouble to comply with the pro visions of the Act of Parliament, they must abide by the consequences, and he rejected the claim. In the parish of Cashelton, the claim of Mr. William S. Meryweather was objected to by the Conservative agents. Mr. Meryweather claimed to vote in respect of a freehold rent-charge upon land in the parish of Cashelton. Mr. Meryweather was examined in support of the claim, and it appeared that, i n r i g ht o f hi s w if e under a will, which he produced, ht was in the receipt of 5001. a year from the land in question. The money was paid to him by trustees. Mr. Drummond said his objection to the right of the claimant: was, that he did not possess such an in terest as amounted to a freehold rent-charge. The father of Mrs. Meryweather had by his will devised the property in question to trustees to be turned into money, and out of the proceeds the trustees were directed to pay over a sum of 5001. a year, and in point of fact, Mr. Meryweather had no title whatever in the land ; he could not enter upon it, and his interest was merely a personalty, and not at all in the shape of a' freehold. The REVISING BARRISTER, having perused the will, said that he was of opinion the claim could not be admitted in its present shape. He would not give a decided opinion, but he thought it probable, if the application were removed for the qualification of a cestuique trust, it might be successful ; but, at pre sent, he could not allow the claim.—Name expunged. Mr. Montagu Turner, the son of the last applicant, was also objected to by the Conservatives. Mr. Drummond said that, in this case, he was un fortunately not able to produce his notice of objec tion, and he must, therefore, withdraw it. In order to save Mr. Turner any trouble, he had written to him to inform him that his vote would not be objected to, and that he need not attend to support his claim. Mr. Jeans said no such letter had been received, and he intimated that he should apply for costs. Mr. Drummond said he had done all in his power to prevent the gentleman from being inconvenienced. The REVISING BARRISTER said it was no case for costs. Mr. Marcus W. Turner also claimed to vote in re spect of the same property as Mr. Aleryweather. The claim was disallowed upon the grounds stated in the former case. In the parish of: Croydon there were upwards of 200 fresh claims sent in by persons already on the re gister, but who considered their qualification and re sidence improperly described, and which particulars they amended on their fresh notice of claim. The REVISING BARRISTER having, upon the ap plication of Mr. G. Penfold, who attprir!el f+l- -he proceeded to consider the new one. Mr. Jeans then said, that certain voters, consider ing the description of their qualification, residence .4 &c., incorrectly stat e d, h a d sen t i n f res h claims, 0 1Dr - the particulars required by the late Act of For"r j ment.

If all th, e t particulars sent in th e c l a i ms were t o b e pr inted,: would cause a very la rge a dditi ona l expens e in til e printing of the register. nt Mr. Jeans sub m itt e d th a t i was hi g hl y i m po`" 2 , f that the qualifi c ati on an d th e res id ence o f the ve e " should be properly described, and in the form P r ; scribed by the Act of P ar li amen t. I n man y of t 4 cases in the old list, the residence of the voter not at all clearly given; the name of the owner tenant of the property was altogether omitted; an in fact, the description of the party was most nleatr and incomplete. 118 The REVISING BAR RISTER , h av i ng l oo k e d over t f list, said that cer t a i n ly many o f t h e d escr i p tions. ° qualification and residence of voters were w est Iv complete, and that the provisions of the Act of Fir liament had not been complied with.
