The Proprietor had the honour of submitting the Model to his Royal Highness Prince Albert, and he is delighted to say it met with his most decide and perfect approval, and from the more than usual care which has been observed in its execution, he points, it out as the happiest production of Mr. Danson's pencil.

The Commons sat at four o'clock. The Roman Catholic Relief Bill and the County Coroners' Bill were respectively read a second time. Mr. STAFFORD O'BRIEN moved the second reading of the Malt Drawback Bill. After a short discussion, the iron. Gentleman, on the recommendation of Mr. MILES, withdrew the measure. The adjourned debate on Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S reso lutions was then resumed by Mr. P. HOWARD, who opposed both the resolutions and the amendment. The House was subsequently addressed by Mr. ESCOTT, Sir JOHN WALSH, Lord Howicx. Sir J. HANmEa, and Sir R. PEEL, after which Lord JOHN RUSSELL briefly replied. The House then divided upon Mr. S. CRAWFORD'S amendment, which beiug negatived by a large majority, tha original motion was put, which was also lost by a majority of 78. The dispatches published in Tuesday's Gazette, rela tive to the operations in Sinde, are highly honourable to Sir CHARLES NAPIER and the little gallant army under his command. It is a singular fact that this able officer has been successful in every plan for defeating his ene mies, and tranquillising that important district. The malevolent press of India has been compelled o acknowledge his merits ; his opponents in this country cannot find one fault, and the praises bestowed upon him by Sir HENRY HAR DIRGE, the Governor-General Elect of the India Board, are equally flattering with those so willingly given by his calumniated predecessor. Here is the tribute paid by a discriminating judge and skilful warrior After announcing the complete success of the expedition, the Governor-General says:—" An operation of this na ture demanded, on the part of the General, the utmost prudence, skill, and foresight, and on the part of the troops, the greatest fortitude in enduring the fatigues and privations to which they were exposed. These qualities, which prove the merit of a commander arid the discipline of the troops, have been displayed by both with characteristic energy. Every officer and man in this short but arduous campaign has shown that there are no difficulties which discipline cannot surmount under able guidance." Whilst public opiaion on this side of the Tweed ap pears to be much divided as to the merits of the Lord Advocate's new poor-relief legislation for the kingdom of Scotland, it may be expected that we should recur to a subject which we handled at some length on the occa sion of the Learned Lord bringing in the Bill in ques tion. But we should be sorry to throw impediments in the way of any measure having for its object the mitigation of those evils which the Scottish poor have too long been left to encounter, with means almost in conceivably inadequate to procure them the means of even the most meagre and attenuated subsistence. The disclosures,—for his instrumentality in bringing which under the notice of Parliament we think the Learned Lord has scarcely received from some of our contemporaries his due meed of praise,—the disclosures which have been made of the destitution in which a vast community of the people of Scotland habitually dwell, are scarcely more appalling from the amount of personal misery which they exhibit. as forming the social lot of so many of our fellow-creatures and subjects, than they are startling from the economic phenomena they reveal. The condition of the poor of Scotland becomes an ob ject of deep but painful interest, when one reflects upon this remarkable fact, that although the development of agricultural, manufacturing, and commercial prosperity in Scotland, within the last half century, is scarcely to be surpassed by the example of any other nation within the same era, and the same interval of years ; her un developed, or at least unimproved resources, are still so extensive that their amount is almost a scandal to the enterprise and activity for which the Scottish nation is so justly distinguished. In saying this, we mean to speak, of course, comparatively. Scotland is by no means so rich a country as England ; but, caterig paribus, we may well doubt whether Eng land has not shown more alacrity and industry in im proving her sources of natural production. In any case the extension of her fisheries, and nature has supplied her with some of the finest in the world, has not been prosecuted by Scotland with half the ardour or success that she has shown and realised in advancing her agri culture and stock-farming. Much, even as to her fisheries, she has accomplished, but she has not yet availed herself of a tithe of the opportunities that pre sent themselves for profitably extending them in a hun dred localities upon her creek, estuary, and harbour• ndented shores. There is, perhaps, in all Europe, no landed gentry who possess better, or more extensive, fishing fields than that of Scotland, scattered, as their possessions are, along a coast line of vast extent, washed with seas that swarm with fish. It is much to be deplored that the great landowners in these districts—take, for example, the Western Isles and Highlands of Scotland—do not far more largely avail themselves of the means which are thus ready to their hands, of increasing their own fortunes by vastly benefiting those of the hardy natives who hold under them. They are fishermen by the acci dents of their birth, and the necessities, not less than the advantages of their position. But their energies, their intrepidity, their endurance, and fortitude, being at present limited to little more than the care of provid ing for the immediate subsistence of themselves and their families, are rarely accompanied by that perseve ranee which permanent employment, at however high wages, and the exertions of capital among them, would be sure to stimulate. Fresh fish in the spring and summer, and cured fish for the winter, with a scanty supply of potatoes raised by that slovenly tillage of neglected garden plots and closes which the sagacity and sarcasm of the late Dr. MACCULLOCH shamed, for a time, into something like transitory activity, are too com monly the utmost achievements of their forecast and their exertions. Having so few resources to fall back upon, their poverty habituates them to a reliance more or less, on ORO or two, exclusively, out of that limited number. A wet summer or a protracted winter de stroys, or nearly destroys, their potato harvest. A very boisterous season greatly diminishes the produce of their fishery. The decay of their once valuable kelp trade leaves them little or no chance of repairing either of these calamities. But let some great proprietors emulate the noble example of Mr. MATHESON, M.P., on his enormous pro perty of Lewis, which we on Tuesday described in our columns. Let them reclaim their bog and moor lands by drainage ; let them build and furnish fishing and curing stations ; facilitate the purchase of nets, tackle, and implements, where such aid is required of them at the hands of meritorious individuals : let them cut roads, deepen water ways, and avail themselves of the substantial material which nature has every where around them placed within their reach, of erecting darns, constructing harbours, and all other works requiring only rude and massive masonry ; and they will be mul tiplying ten-fold the present value of their rent-roll, and ameliorating a hundred-fold the physical comforts and condition of their poor tenants and compatriots. When these primary elements shall have been got into vigorous and well-combined action, then let the land owner introduce a simple but generous plan of moral education for those whose social lot he will have already so incalculably improved. What will be the amount of free unalloyed•enjoyment which they will thus secure for themselves, who will move about wide domains more overspread with au aspect of busy and contented in dustry and cheerful vigilance, amidst the most, inhos pitable rigours that may at times beset the climate, and gaze, with honest emotion, on the noble contrast which their own efforts, their own desire to amend the hard existence of these remote but well-disposed people, and their own spirited liberality have established, with the desolate and savage and dispiriting fea tures that the same country presented but three or four years previously. In Sutherlandshire, in Caithness, and along the northern and north-western shores of Scotland, how much may yet be done, fraught with better and more salutary influences than all that poor laws can effect for a well•disposed and kiedly natured people. Let the same fine spirit which is now diffusing life and activity to the most distant corners of the " distant Lewis," visit the pauperised recesses of Mull and Tobermory, or Sutherlandshire itself ; but not to expel—not to eject—not even to force into an ill-pro vided-for emigration, a starving yet reluctant race of hereditary but impoverished tenants. There are Dukes in Scotland—Lords of the fairest lands in Sutherland shire and Argyllshire, who, if they would betake them selves to follow out such plans as the wise and generous proprietor of Lewis is now working for the improvement of his property—and the people on it —might hope, like him, to verify the glorious aspiration of our lyric poet, and " read their history in a nation's eyes." Let those Dukes " go and do likewise." The intelligence from Madrid is to the 20th inst. On that day the Senate voted the entire budget, by a ma jority of 70 to 5, and this closed the business of the Cortes, which, as will be seen by a telegraphic dispatch, was prorogued three days afterwards. The Court was to set out for Catalonia on the 24th. On the 20th the Three per Cents. closed at 32:1, and 33 at 60 days ; the Five per Cents. 24 for cash, and 241 at 60 days; and the Debt without Interest at 8 3-16 at 60 days. The following telegraphic dispatch has been received at Paris : I. " The Quee n o f S PAIN closed the session of the Cortes In person, on the 23d instant. The new Constitution' was promulgated on the same day." The Paris papers are chiefly occupied with the affairs of Morocco and Algeria, and the forthcoming discussion on the Budget. On the latter subject the Journal des Debois says ;—" The Chamber of Deputies will be able to enter on the discussion of the budget of estimates at the beginning of next mouth. The report of M. Bio- NON'S report is in the press, and will be distributed to the Deputies in the course of a week. The five Bills, for the removal of the hotel of the Minister of Foreign Affairs—for the extraordinary credit for Algeria— for the police—for the railroads—for the colonial regulations—and for the Paris and Lyons railroad, will probably be brought forward before the budget. The report on the extraordinary credits for Algeria, which amount to 14,430,000 f., was distributed on Saturday, and will be taken into consideration on Tues day. The Committee, after having taken a full view of the entire situation of Algeria, has made a rigid exami nation of all the questions connected with the conquest of this country, its government, and colonisation. On the day the Committee was formed it was made acquainted with the projected expedition of Marshal BUGEAUD against the Kabyle country. Marshal Soma, to whom the Committee applied for a full statement of the case, sent a summary of all the late reports from the country in question. Soon afterwards the Minister of War attended the Committee, and declared that, in his opinion, the intended expedition would have favour able results, but he did not consider it urgent, and there fore the Government would not consent to any increase of the effective force for this purpose. The Committee admits the propriety of keeping up the effective force for the present year at 82,000 men and 15,513 horses." The Constitutionnel has changed its tone relative to the failure of the commercial treaty with Morocco, and now implies that the failure has been brought about by English influence. M. GUIZOT, of course, comes in for a share of the blame. The following are observations on this affair in that journal : " A council of Ministers was held on Saturday relative to the affairs of Morocco. It is stated that the resolution come to was such as might be expected from the Cabinet which signed the treaty of Tangiers, disavowed MM. Dupetit Thouars and D'Aubigny, and indemnified Mr. Pritchard. The convention negotiated by M. Delarue had a double ob ject—to regulate the question of limits, and to assure to our commerce certain commercial advantages. It was the execution of two articles of the treaty of Tangiers. The convention has just been ratified by France, but the Emperor Abderrhaman. disavowing his ple nipotentiaries, refuses the ratification. What course will be taken ? The matter is perfectly simple. General Delarue will be disavowed without noise, and a new negotia tion commenced. It will be stated, it is already said, that M. Delarue has gone beyond his instructions, and that he was too exacting with regard to that Moorish Govern ment, which, in other respects, gives us so many proofs of goodwill and deference. In the frontier question, without giving way to the cunning and tardiness of the Arab nego tiators, who would have prolonged the discussion to eternity, relative to every blade of grass, M. Delarue decided the question equitably, like a geometrician, and obtained the assent of the negotiators. This operation will be gone over again, and Abderrhaman will receive some portion of the territory which he claims. As to the commercial ques tion, it will be abandoned purely and simply, under the form of indefinite postponement, to please not only the Emperor Abderrhaman, but also another power. Such are the poli tical exploits by which our Ministry will impress the Moorish tribes with respect for France, and will perpetuate the remem brance of the victory of Isly 1 You will find that M. Guizot and M. Duchatel will attempt to prove afterwards that by this condescension they are giving the Maugrabins a high idea of France I See, in fact, how the evacuation of Moga dore and the treaty of Tangiers have strengthened the Em peror and weakened Abd-el-Kader." The business in the French Chamber on Monday was only of local interest. The prices in the Funds and shares were somewhat depressed. The Three per Cents. closed at 85f. 85c. ; the New Loan, at 86f. 15c. ; the Five per Cents. at 121 f. 85c. ; Orleans Railroad Shares at 1,227 f. 50c. ; Rouen, I,loof. ; Vierzon, 817 f. 50c. ; Havre, 885 f. ; Avignon, 1,037 f. 50c. ; Basle, 270 f. ; Spanish Actives, 393 s ; Spanish Passives, 7%.

At precisely 12 o'clock the Royal Horse Artillery commenced firing a salute, which was followed by a/eu de joie by the Foot Artillery, the Royal Sappers and Miners, and the Royal Marines, and subsequently a salute was fired from the guns of the field batteries, the bands of the various corps playing the National Anthem. Three hearty cheers were then given by the whole of the assembled troops. They were then formed into marching order, the field batteries in the rear of the Royal Horse Ar tillery, and headed by their respective bands, marched past the Colonel commanding at slow time, which concluded the duties for the day. The weather was remarkably fine, and many thousands of spectators were present to witness the scene. The workmen at the dockyard obtained a holiday, and consequently there was no admission for strangers to that establishment; but the workmen of the Royal Arsenal having obtained their holiday on Saturday last, that great national depot of naval and military sto►es was open, and thousands of strangers availed themselves of the opportunity to in spect it. TROTTING MATCH AGAINST TIME. —An extra ordinary horse (of the sort, having been engaged for the last two years in drawing a bricklayer's cart), belonging to a respectable tradesman of Eton, was backed two months ago to trot five miles in seventeen minutes, for 50/. The match came off on Monday evening, on Hartford• bridge Flat. A great number of persons from the towns of Windsor and Eton, and the adjacent districts, were present. The betting for some days previously was two to one on time, and very large sums changed hands upon the issue of the event. The horse (rising six years, and fifteen hands high), which had been well trained, and was in excellent condition, was admirably ridden by Cator, a professional jockey from town. The live miles were performed in seventeen minutes and twenty-five ro u sho . t p the pr essin g wholeP seconds; the b ac k ers o f t i me thus winning, and to a very large ru amount. Th e h orse, which was somewhat " hustled " by the horsemen upon him, In n it o s t tr o i n al c s e it b h re ad pe akin rf t o o rm a egd theallop five miles within the time with apparent ease, thus inducing the presumed knowing ones to back him to a large amount.

SOUTH MIDLAND or NORT HAMP TON AND LEICESTER RAILWAY. The following statement with respect to the proposed South Midland or Northampton and Leicester Railway, will be found interesting to our readers : The line will commence either at the London and Birming ham Railway, at a point between Roade and Blisworth, or at the Northampton station of the branch to Peterborough, and proceed by Market Harborough to the Midland Railway, near the town of Leicester, with a short branch to the Leicester and Swannington Railway, effecting a saving of nearly seven miles between London and Nottingham, Derby, Sheffield, Leeds, and the North of England,. In connexion with the Sheffield and Chesterfield, and Ere wash Valley lines, it will prove the shortest p rac ti ca bl e li ne to Sheffield, and will very considerably lessen the distance between London and York, enabling the existing Companies more suc cessfully to compete for that traffic, which must otherwise be diverted to the eastern lines. It will also avoid the Kileby and Weedon Tunnels on the Birmingham Railway, and the stoppage at Rugby, which will hereafter be considerably lengthened by the junction of the Trent Valley, and Rugby and Oxford lines, at the station, al lowing of better arrangements being made for the accom modation of the Oxford and southern traffic, which would still pass over that part of the Midlands line, between Leicester and Rugby. Indeed, the Committee believe that this undertaking will be found advantageous to both the London and Birming ham, and Midland Companies, for the follorsing reasons :- Ist, As a means of preserving a large portion of the Shef field, Leeds, and York traffic, making it self-evident that whatever profit may be taken from the Companies between Leicester and Rugby, and Rugby and Blisworth, it will be re turned tenfold by that from the northern disAict. 2d, It will, by effecting a saving of nearly three miles more between Leicester and London than the Bedford and Leicester project, deprive that Company of any grounds for an infringe ment on the vested interests of the present lines. As a source of profit to the shareholders, it holds out the following advantages :—By its junction with the Leicester and Swannington Railway, it will open the coal and mineral parts of Leicestershire and Derbyshire to the agricultural district around Market Harborough, and to the town of Northampton, reducing the price of these articles most considerably (in cor roboration of which it may be remarked, that the Union Canal have, since this line was projected, reduced the prices of car riage to Harborough ), while, in connexion with the Erewash Valley line, it will effect so great a saving in expense of car riage, as to enable a much larger quantity of coal to be sent from this, and the coal district around Claycross, to London. THE LATE DREADFUL FIRE AT RAGGETT'S HOTEL. LOSS OF FIVE LIVES. The following additional facts, collected from statements made by the Earl of Huntingdon and other survivors, leave no doubt as to the origin of the fire, and that five persons at least, viz., Mrs. John Round, the lady of the Hon. Member for Mallon, Essex; Mr. Raggett, sen , the proprietor of the hotel ; his daughter, Miss Raggett, aged 27; Mrs. Jones, a nurse in the service of the Earl of Huntingdon ; and a servant woman, have perished by the sad occurrence. It appears that the hotel (which is a very capacious one) was at the time of the outbreak completely occupied by families, chiefly from the country. The Earl and Countess of Huntingdon, with their infant son, Lord Hastings, occupied the front drawing-room on the first floor, and the corresponding rooms above for their ser vants, Mrs. Jones and the nursemaid, &c. The back drawing- Am was occupied by Mrs. John Rould and her daughter (who Lad only arrived there late on Monday afternoon from Brighton, to fl presented at Court on Tuesday), and they had also a sitting room and other apartments on the second floor. Another suite of apartments on the drawing-room floor were occupied by Mr. Richard Poer King and his sister; and beneath these were apart ments in the occupation of Lord Louth, the Hon. Col. Bouverie, and other gentlemen ; the remainder of the building being de voted by Mr. Raggett to his own family and domestics, and those of the families staying at the hotel. Singular as it may appear, when the fire was first discovered, the hotel had not been closed for the night. Mr. Raggett and his daughter retired to rest shortly before twelve o'clock, as did the servants, with the exception of the head waiter and the cook, who, as well as Mr. Raggett, jun., were sitting up for those inmates who had not then returned home. Mrs. Round and her daughter had been to the St. James's Theatre to see the French plays, and the Earl and Countess of Huntingdon to the Opera. Mrs. Round and her daughter came home a few minutes after twelve, and retired to her sitting-room, on the second floor, to partake of supper. They had scarcely sat down when the head waiter, who had seen Miss King whilst going up stairs entering her bed-room at the back of the first floor, and who had again descended, was alarmed .by hearing screams of fire. On rushing up to the first floor land ing he met Miss King coming down in a distracted state, ex claiming that her bed-room was in flames, and that she feared she had set fire to the bed-curtains. He found the whole room in a blaze, and entrance impossible from the dense smoke that issued from it. The screams had attracted the attention of the inmates, and on his rushing up the second.floor stairs he saw Mrs. Round on the land. ing in the same dress in which she had arrived from the theatre. He told her the house was on fire, and to make her escape. He ran down stairs, supposing the lady to be following him, and saw no more of her. Miss Round states that she was with her mother at this time, and either from the smoke or fright the lady fell on the stairs, but at the same moment a man caught her up, saying he would save her ; and seeing her, as she sup posed safe, she ran back into the apartment occupied by her attend ant, but was unable to proceed down stairs, on account of the in. tensity of the heat and smoke. She and Miss Raggett again went back to the front room, and opened the window; and when the fire.escape arrived the fire was coming into the apartment. Miss Raggett was the first to go out, but did so before the conductor `could get up, and fell on to the pavement and was killed. Miss Round then got out, with her attendant, and effected their escape. A minute or two before this occurrence a painful sight was wit nessed by the crowds which had already assembled. A poor fel low servant to Mr. King, was seen to make his appearance at an adjoining window of the second floor to that from which Miss Raggett fell. The flames were in the apartment, and in the hope of immediate assistance, he got outside, and clung to the window sill for several minutes. The flames bursting through the win. dow burnt his hands so dreadfully that he let go his hold, and fortu. nately fell into the balcony, from which he ultimately managed, with difficulty, to scramble into the street. About three or four minutes prior to the cries of fire being raised, Lord Huntingdon had arrived home, and his Lordship states that he had scarcely put his hat down when he was startled by the alarm. His first impulse was to ruts to the room where his son and servants were. Mrs. Jones, the nurse, had heard the al(rm, and was preparing to dress the child, but his Lordship snatched his son from her arms, and with the Countess ran out of the house, telling her to follow him. He believed else did so, but returned for some article, and must afterwards have mistaken the staircase, and got into one of the back rooms, and out of the window, from the position in which her body was found. The person whom Miss Round saw on the landing with her mother is supposed to be Mr. Raggett, sen. , from the fact that the remains of the two bodies, when discovered on Tuesday, were found close together, The rapidity and intensity of the fire may be accounted for from the fact that the whole of the apartments were wainscoted, and that there was three times as much wood in the building as is usual in modern houses. Although, therefore, there were ten engines in attcndance within half an hour of the outbreak, and a plentiful supply of water, the whole building, with the singular exception of the sitting-room of Mrs. Round, which remains with the supper:• things still standing en the table uninjured and untouched, was in flames. The first body discovered was that of the unfortunate woman Mrs. Jones, about three o'clock, by Mr. Inspector Aggs, of the .0 division,' and some of the firemen, lying in a state of nudity,, and dreadfully burned about the head, face,and 'arms, on the top of some leads in the rear 'of the premises and over the kitchen. She had evidently dropped from one of the second-floor windows. She had also a frightful wound on her head, but her body was imme diately identified by Lord Huntingdon. The ruins were not suffi ciently cool to commence a search for the other bodies supposed to be there until ten o'clock, when, at the earnest request of Colonel Boucher, Colonel Rolt, and other relatives of' Mrs. Round, some of the brigade...were induced to enter, and, after a short search, they found what are supposed to be the remains of Mrs. Round, lying on a part of the burnt flooring of the first floor, and close to them the remains of another person, supposed to he those of Mr. Raggett. They presented a truly horrifying spectacle, scarcely anything but the mere trunks remaining. They were placed In shells, and conveyed to the workhouse of St. 'George's, Hanover. square, in Mount.street, as was also that of Mrs. Jones. Miss Rag gett was conveyed to No. 8, Dover-street, exactly opposite the hotel, where she died almost immediately after. It appears that the Countess of Huntingdon has lost the whole of bet jewels, the estimated value of which - his Lordship stated on Tuesday to be as much as 3,0001. ; and those of the unfortunate Mrs. Round and her daughter, which they intended to have worn yesterday at the Drawing room, are estimated at a much larger sum, in addition to the plate. Mr. King, who is a merchant from Bristol, had, in one of his apartments, a large and valuable chest of plate, supposed to be destroyed( _ . Mrs. Round's family had, up - to the discovery of:the bodies, enter tained a hope that the unfortunate lady had escaped. Her Majesty had herself witnessed the progress of the flames from the Palace, and a messenger was at an early hour sent to inquire into the extent of the damage. In the report made on Tuesday by Mr. Braidwood, he attributes the rapid progress of the fire to the fact that the whole of the doors were thrown open, and thus a free current of air tended to in crease the flames. The inquest on the bodies is expected to take place this evening. A singular circumstance in connexion with this shocking affair occurred on Tuesday afternoon, about two o'clock. Lord Hunting don came to Inspector Aggs and asked if it was safe to enter the drawing-room on the first floor, as he remembered that in his flight he had left a ♦aluable gold watch on the mantelpiece. He was referred to the firemen, one of whom his Lordship accom panied up the ladder and through the window into the apartment, and shortly after returned, having found the watch in the fender, partially melted. Prior to taking apartments at Raggett's Hotel, on Monday even ing, Mrs. Round and her daughter applied at Mivart's, but that establishment was full. Too much praise cannot be given to the police, under Superin. tendent Beresford and Inspector Aggs, for the efficient aid they afforded the firemen in their arduous and dangerous duties ; and it is also a gratifying fact to mention, that Lord George Cavendish, the Hon. Charles Cavendish, and several other noblemen, during the raging of the fire, exerted themselves vigorously, in the cause of humanity. The loss of property is estimated at little short of 30,0001. LAW INTELLIGENCE 9NDARIES' COURT,Ma a 28. (Before Mr. Secondary POTTER.) BEGRIE V. RAWLINGS. This was an action brought to recover the balance of an attor ney's Bill. The def en d ant i s a broker in Bethnal.green. Mr. BEGBIE stated the case. In 1839 he was sent for to the office of Messrs. Smith, of Furnival's Inn, and introduced to the defendant, and requested to defend an action brought against him by a Mr. Babbington, Messrs. Smith's business being principally confined to Chancery suits. The action was settled, and defendant paid 21. to him on account of costs, and frequently, both before and after the commencement of the present action, promised to pay. The action was commenced in 1843, and judgment obtained against the defendant, which, how ever, was set aside, on an affidvit that there was a bona fide defence. Defendant, however, was to pay costs, and he (Mr. Begbie) accepted 41. on account, the then attorney for defendant urging him not to proceed with the action, as de fendant was very poor. The proceedings were then stopped, but a short time since, after the passing of the Act for the abolition of irnprisonmect for debts under 204, the defendant's attorney called, and said that if the 41. was returned the proceedings should drop—if not, they would force him to go on with the action. This course had been adopted, and plaintiff therefore came before the jury contrary to his own desire, and whichever way the verdict went he must be the loser, as defendant had no property which could be taken in execution. The defence was that the retainer of plaintiff was by Mr. Smith, and that it was a common practice for one attorney to employ another as his agent, and also that plaintiff had consented to take costs out of pocket, and which amounted only to 13s. 6d. The jury then gave a verdict for the plaintiff for the balance as taxed by the Master. SE , On Saturday afternoon the King of the French, with several members of the Royal Family, took an excursion in the yacht round the islands at Neuilly.

James Scott was brought before the Lord Mayor and Sir John Pirie, under the following peculiar circumstances : Mr. Daniel Percival, boot-maker, of No. 4, Caatle.court, Birchin-lane, stated that on the 22d instant, at about three o'clock in the afternoon, a Mr. Dickenson called upon him and asked him to take charge of the bill of exchange produced for 26/. Bs. 6d., purporting to be the acceptance of a Mr. Baker, which had been dishonoured, and to receive the money for him in case any one should call to pay it. Witness consented, and at six o'clock in the evening the prisoner, whom he had never seen before, called and said, " You have a bill lying here for payment of 26/. odd." Witness replied in the affirmative, and the prisoner said he would pay the money, and produced at the same time same bank notes, and said in a hesitating manner, "261. how much ?" Witness informed him of the particulars, holding the bill in both hands, when the prisoner snatched it suddenly from him, and he seized hold of the hand and held it firmly until a policeman, whose interference was re quested, arrived. Witness and the prisoner got into the Court struggling for the bill, and the latter, upon being caned upon to give up the instrument, said, " I am d-- if you shall have either the bill or the money." At length the policeman se cured him arid the bill. Mr. William M. Dickinson, who stated that he resided at Hackney, and was a wine merchant, deposed that he dis counted the bill for a man of the name of Living, and that it had been dishonoured as described, and he had requested Mr. Percival to receive the payment if it should be tendered. In his cress-examination by Mr. Humphreys, who defended the prisoner, the witness said that Living, for whom he had discounted this bill, was an agent in matters of this kind. Did not know the exact amount he gave for it. Did not know the exact discount agreed to between them, but thought it was about thirty per cent., and paid Living in cash, notes, and gold. Had no stores ' but had wine in the St. Catherine' s Docks, and a little i n th e London Docks. Mr. HumrnnEys said, that as the Lord Mayor had men tioned his determinstion to commit the prisoner to the Central Criminal Court, upon the former examination, he did not intend to apply for his client's discharge. His object in addressing the Bench was to show that there was not, by any means, evil. dence strong enough to justify the refusal to receive bail. There had been nothing whatever proved, to show that the prisoner had seized the bill with a felonious intention, as the Bench would learn from his own lips. The LORD MAvort--What defence has he to make ?—The Prisoner—l had givers the bill to a man named Williams to get it discounted, and in my presence it was handed by him to a man named Living, who said they were perfectly satisfied with it, and that I should have the cash in the course of the week, and I never received one farthing. A story was told that the bill was accidentally consumed in a house that was on fire, and I was told that I should have indemnity for the bill. In answer to questions put by the Lord Mayor and Sir John Pirie, Mr. Dickinson stated that he had not entered the trans aetion in any book, neither had he paid with a cheque. . Mr. HUMPHREY s contended that although his client had cer tainly committed an assault and trespass, certainly there was nothing felonious in the attempt to recover the bill, which was his own property, for which he had not received to the value of a farthing. It was not meant for a moment to deny that the force had been used to obtain restitution, and, under all the circumstances, it was submitted that it was but reasonable to suppose that bail for the prisoner's appearance at the Central Criminal Court would be accepted. In answer to a question from the Lord Mayor, as to the motive of the prisoner in drawing the bill on Mr. Baker, the prisoner said that the acceptor had been in the habit of obtain ing small sums of money from him, which that gentleman met on the days his pension became due. The Loan MAYOR. and Sir JOHN PIRIE, after having consulted for some time, said that they were satisfied to accept two respectable bail to the amount of 1001. each, and the pri soner's own security for 2001. more, that he should appear at the next session of the Central Criminal Court, to answer the charge. They could not help saying that the transaction was one of very suspicious appearance. The witnesses were then bound over, and the prisoner im mediately produced competent security for his appearance. BOW-STREET. A labouring man, named Martha Connor, somewhat advanced in years, was charged with cutting the throat of Jane Kelly by means of a razor, with intent to kill her. The prosecutrix and the prisoner lived together as man and wife, . _ is Charles-street, Drury lane, and had gone home drunk at a late hour on Monday night. The policeman on the beat (25 F) was directed by a woman to enter their lodgings at about half-past one, and on doing so he saw the woman lying on the bed, with her throat cut and bleeding profusely—the man being by her side. On seeing the constable the prisoner said, " If I have done it, I'll die for it;" but he subsequently declared that she had inflicted the wound herself in a fit of drunkenness. The woman spoke in an excited manner, desiring the officer to take the man away, for he had done it. The prisoner was taken into custody accordingly, and the wretched woman conveyed to St. Giles's workhouse. Mr. Bennet, medical officer of the union, described the wounds, which were two in number, one of them being an inch and a half in length, close to the windpipe, but escaping the important yes. sels. A lodger in the house proved that the man and woman reached home very drunk. He heard a noise with them, and was asked by the prisoner to go into the room, as she (the proseeutrix) was en deavouring to cut his throat. Mr. JARDINE thought it desirable to defer the inquiry until the woman was able to attend and give evidence. He therefore re inandedtlie prisoner for the present. A French " teacher of languages," named George Gerrard, was charged with indecently exposing himself to a lad, named Charles Smith, under the Adelphi arches, the preceding night. He, was ordered to find bail to answer the charge at the ses. sions,'himselfin 100/., and two sureties in 50/. each. Edward Stebbing, described as a shoemaker, was charged with stealing a Newfoundland dog, valued at 101., belonging to Mr. H. A. Roberts, a law student. About a month ago, as the prosecutor was walking in Southamp ton-row, he missei the dog (a remarkably fine animal, and one dearly prized by him), which had a leather collar with a brass plate, having the owner's name, round its neck. The usual steps were taken to recover it, and ultimately a negotiation was opened with a man named Wilton, of the same nature as that pursued by all dog stealers, and the sum of 51. was agreed upon as the price of restoring the animal to its rightful owner. In order to se cure some little delay, for an obvious purpose, Mr. Roberts affected to believe that the dog, when shown to him, was not the one he had missed but Wilton and his companion (of whom the prisoner was the chief in this case) declared that the dog was tho property of Mr. Roberts, and demanded the amount which he consented to pay for its restoration. The pri soner had the dog in his possession, and was the party who returned it to Mr. ll , )berts, by whose instructions a policeman, especially devoted to the subject of dog-stealing and stealers, apprehended the man at the bar. Mr. JARI)INE intimated that he should commit the prisoner on suspicion of stealing the collar; but on learning that it was the wish of the prosecutor that the magistrate should dispose of the case summarily, there being some doubt about the probability of proving the theft of the collar, which had never been discovered, the magistrate ordered the prisoner to pay a fine of 10/., besides the estimated value of the dog an additional sum of 101. ; in default of which he was committed to hard labour for four months. MARYLEBOIVE. About a week ago Lucy Templeman, living in Titchborne-row, Paddington, applied to the sitting magistrate for a summons under the new bastardy clause of the Poor-law Act, against Seymour Sadler, 8, Carlton.chambers, Regent• street, to show cause why he should not support a bastard child, begotten by him, and of which the said Lucy Templeman was the mother. The alleged father, Captain Sadler, holds the situation of Exon of the Corps of her Majesty's Yeomen of the Guard. The mother of the infant was in attendance, with her illegiti mate offspring, soon after eleven o'clock. She was accompanied by an elderly female, and a young woman, said to be her sister. They took their seals in the outer office, and at a quarter before twelve two gentlemen, whom our reporter imagined to be solici . . . _... tors, arrived. They were for some time in close conversation with the mother of the infant, and it was quite evident, from what trans pired, that "publicity " would not be altogether agreeable. A proposition was in the first instance made that 3s. per week should be allowed for the infant's maintenance, but this being considered insufficient, an additional 6d. per week was offered and acceded to. This arrangement was all managed outside of the Court, and the particulars connected with the affair were not gone into before the magistrate. WORSHIP-STREET. Two gentlemen, named Ladell, residing at Claremont-place, Pentonville, attended before Mr. Bingham upon an adjourned sum. mons, at the instance of the Eastern Counties Railway Company, to show cause why they refused to pay the extra fare for travelling from Ware to London in a first-class carriage, having taken tickets for one of an inferior description. Joseph Turton, one of the porters at the station at Ware, stated that at half-past six o'clock on the evening of the 29th ult., the de fendants came upon the platform, just before the up-train started, and presented two second-class tickets. Witness orened the door of a second-class carriage, in which there were four vacant places, but the defendants refused to enter it, alleging that it was already full; and after examining some other carriages of the same de scription, and making a similar objection they ultimately entered a first.class vehicle, in which they travelled to town, although they were cautioned at the time that they would have to pay the extra fare at the London terminus. John Iliff, clerk at the same station, proved that when the de fendants entered the first-class carriage, he distinctly apprised them that the surplus fare would be exacted from them on reaching town, to which they made no reply; but one of their friends, who was standing by, made the observation that the defendants would cer tainly pay it. Another servant of the company deposed to the refusal of the defendants to pay the extra fare. And three other witnesses proved that there was ample room in the second. class carriages for the accommodation of several ad ditional passengers. In answer to the charge, the elder defendant said, that he bad several witnesses in attendance who would be able completely to rebut the evidence adduced in support of the charge. When they reached the platform, the train was just upon the point of start ing, and on endeavouring to obtain seats in a second-class car riage, for which they possessed tickets, they were partly repelled by the passengers inside, whe simultaneously declared that the vehicles were full, and that there was not room for another per son. On seeking admission to several other carriages, they met with a similar repulse, and on appealing to one of the por ters to procure them places, the man examined several of the vehicles, and then, without making any observation, went on to a firit-class carriage, the door of which be opened On Saturday last, the 24th instant, being the anniversary of the birth-day of our beloved Queen, a scene, which we hope is a solitary instance of disloyalty, occurred at Downton, Wilts. In consequence of the vicar and churchwardens refusing to allow the church -bells to be pealed in honour of so important an event, Mr. James Hobbs, Mayor of the borough, addressed the vicar as follows : "TO THE REV. RICHARD PAYNE. " Sir,—As her Majesty's chief representative in this borough I feel it my duty to observe every demonstration of loyalty on the occasion of her Majesty's natal day, and therefore request that you permit the parish bells to be rung to-day, the 24th instant, in honour of so important an event. (Signed) " JAMES HOBBS, Mayor." To this, it Is said, the Rev. Gentleman gave a very evasive reply, and the day being far advanced the worthy Mayor, determined taking the responsibility on himself, immediately engaged the only set of ringers in the parish, at his own expense, to welcome the joyous day with a merry peal. Accordingly, the ringers and him self proceeded forthwith to the bellfry for that purpose, when just as they had got the bells oiled—and what is termed " up"—up came the said Rev. Gentleman, and his churchwardens, in breath less rage, and demanded the ringers to desist, when his worship insisted on their commencing, and what may be termed "a jolly row" ensued—the parson declaring if the ringers offered to pull the bells is honour of the Queen, or any one else, he would have them taken into custody. On the other hand, the Mayor threat ened to put the pa;son into the stocks if he prevented them from so doing. In the midst of the row the ringers, fearful of the con sequences, left the bellfry, DUTCH MAIL.
