T) ~/~~~- THE II?I,ST PRESS PROSCUTIONS.T In the proseaution which the GoVein*ent instituted against Mr. Sullivan, for having published heditions libels, kfter deliberating for an hour and a half, the jury, a mixed one, aseturned into court with a verdict of guilty on all the :punts except the seventh, which referred to the proclama tion sent up by a correspondent from Roscommon as an, 'Aide of news. Mr. Richard Pigott was then called, r.nd urrendered to take his trial for seditious libel. Mr. Peron, Q.C., applied for a writ of certiorari to have the ndictments which had been found by the city grand jury •emoved into th e Q ueen ' s Bench. The Attorney-Genera iad declared his intention to have the case tried by a :ounty jury, and had no right now to change his mind. k. very discreditable ebullition of temper then took place. ['he Attorney-General having stated that he had no inten- Aon of proceeding in the city, and had the indictment sent ip only to bring back the defendant, who had " fled from ustice." Mr. Heron pronounced the statement " a distinct intruth." The Attorney-General demanded a retracts. ,ion of the word before proceeding further. Mr. Justice Fitzgerald also insisted that it should be withdrawn. Mr. Heron said the Attorney-General had no right to maltr., such a remark "after the rebuke" he received from the smut on Saturday. Mr. Justice Fitzgerald replied that co rebuke had been administered or deserved, and added that he never heard such language used by one member of the bar towards another, much less towards the Attorney. General. The imputation was certainly unfounded. Baron Deasy concurred in the observations of his col .eague. Both judges required that the words should be unequivocally retracted. Mr. Heron denied that his client had " fled from justice," and said he believed the state ment was intended to prejudice the case. He admitted he /vas wrong in using the word " untruth." The court ob served that he had not made the matter better, and that there was nothing to warrant the unfounded aspiratir sos apon the Attorney-General. Their lordships press; e l t o have all the imputations withdrawn, and Mr. Heron still ;hewing some reluctance, the Attorney-General left the :ourt. Mr. Heron continued his argument, and, the Soli :itor-General having replied, the court refused the applica tion. The Crown consented to admit that certain articles :omplained of were copied from American papers, and the :ourt intimated • that the trial must now proceed. Mr. Justice Fitzgerald called Mr. Heron's attention again to the unpleasant incident which had taken place, observing that the expressions which had been made fell little short of a contempt of court. They were quite unwarranted, and no doubt would not have been spoken but for the heat of the moment. He ought to make a most ample retractation. Mr. Heron expressed regret for having been betrayed into an expression which was very wrong, but he believed that his client's case was prejudiced by the observations of the Attorney-General He recalled the word " untrue " in the most unqualified manner. Baron Deasy suggested that the imputation about prejudicing the case should also be withdrawn. Mr. Heron said he sincerely believed that the Attorney. General did not intend to prejudice it, but he adhered to the opinion that it did prejudice it. The matter then dropped. Mr. Sullivan was bound in his own recopni zances to attend for judgment on Thursday. THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 19, 1868.

THE PROMISSORY OATHS BILL. Tho LORD CHANCELLOR said that he should brier y move the second reading of this bill. Their lordships wou' be aware that many oaths had been abolished which we very cumbrous. But there still existed oaths which we ?!ei obligatory upon persons who were appointed to the higher it and lowest official positions in the realm and which oaths', whether serious or frivolous, it was never intended should be carried out. There was one oath taken by a gentleman-at-arms—(and he might. state at this point th the oaths to be taken occupied 300 pages of the Appendi of the;Report of Commission on:Promis3ory Oaths)—whicri declared that he would keep three double horses and two men, and would with himself and servants be always rzadj in harness to servo the King. This was never, of course, intended to be acted upon, but he had in frivolous oaths a much more striking example. It appeared that tho beadle of a parish was, besides going to public-houses and beer shops, to take all the pigs in the district to the pound if they were found straying. The Commission on Oaths had advised the oaths of allegiance should be retained, and oaths of office should ba abolished. With this he agreed. He thought that the military, judicial, and official oaths ought to be abolished, although some of the greater oaths might be retained. Judicial oaths only to be taken by the highest functionaries, and those taken by members of the house, which oaths should be turned into declarations. Of m w e re o t o proposed b e turned to course secret oaths had to be taken ; for inst ance, b y the assessors of the income tax. All oaths by thi s bilii)ecaxbe into oeritsh d e elio tdhcoawraantdhnetsh. those il That mentioned,wasretainedware the purport of th e bill. Lord LY VEDEN, who was very indistinct, was un derstood to say that he thought it was perfectly absurd to ask a man to take an oath to do acts which it was per fectly impossible that he could perform. He considered himself that the oath of allegiance and supremacy was perfectly absurd. • Of course, there could be no doubt of the. loyalty of men in office to the Sovereign. He considered that the official oath was entirely unnecessary. With regard to the military oath, the officer had as much right to take it as the private. On the ground of religion and morality he should support it. Earl RUSSELL said that he approved of the bill as in troduced by the Lord Chancellor. He must, however, remark that for those oaths which were to remain it would be much better that they should be in a substantive form. With these observations he would say that he heartily con curred in the bill. The Bishop of OXFORD said that what he, as ono of the Commissioners on Oaths, thought was, that the noble lord had been wrong when he said that oaths were use less. He considered that they elevated the moral mind of the nation, and that the Coronation Oath, whereby a Chris tian Sovereign swore to observe the duties of his position in presence of his spiritual lord, ought to be reverenced by all. After some observations from Lord WESTBURY, the bill was read a second time, and referred to a select com mittee. The house adjourned at 25 minutes to 7. HOUSE OF COMMONS—LAST EVENING. The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. PRIVATE BILLS. Mr. DODSON called the attention of the house to , its legislation with respect to private bills, and moved certain new standing orders on the subject. • He said the proposed changes would in no way affect the proceedings of that house, but that they would only come into operation after the bills had been considered thereon. The new orders would he felt be Of the greatest convenience, and tend to simplify and facilitate the passing of measures of a really practical nature, and prevent, to a great extent, the prosecution of bills, the objects of which were to harass established companies and create expense merely for the sake of incurring those expenses, the interests of the public being of very little or no consideration. Mr. 0. CAVE approved of the proposed alterations. He thought the subject was one of such importance that ho proposed to ask for leave to bring in a bill to re-enact the provisions of the act of 1847 and 1848 , which gave the Board of Trade the power of sanctioning bills for the abandonment of railways, and also for the granting of an extension of time for their construction. He thought also that if the subject of competition was left for the considera tion of Parliament instead of being left for consideration of theßoarxl of Trade much good would result from such an ar rangement. He thought that the last order with respect to estimates had better not be insisted upon at the present moment. He might just say that it was the purpose of the Board of Trade also to introduce a bill, enacting that the Wharncliffe meeting should be held before the bill a as introduced into Parliament, instead of, as at present, hold ing the meeting of shareholders between the time of the passing of the bill from that house to the House of Peers. Lord HOTHAII asked that time might be allowed before the assent of Parliament was given at once to the proposed alterations. Mr. C. FOSTER moved the adjournment of the debate for a fortnight, by which time the house would have had ample time to consider the now orders. Mr. BOUVERIE beconded the motion for the adjourn ment. If the now orders were agreed to they would cause a complete revolution of the private business of that house. Mr. DODSON said he should not object to the motion for postponement on condition that that day week they would come to a decision on the part of the proposed now orders. Mr. Sergeant GAZELEE hoped that the whole matter would be adjourned for the period mentioned by his hon. friend. The debate was ultimately adjourned for a fortnight. BRITISH SUBJECTS. Mr. FOSTER gave notice of his intention on an early day to cull attention to the subject of the allegiance of British subjects v, ho had emigrated to foreign countries. DUNKELD BRIDGE. ' Mr. BAXTER asked the Lord Advocate if it was cor rect that tolls both on foot passengers and carriages continuo to be levied at the bridge of Dun keld by the Duke of Athol°, although his right to do so had lapsed, and although the Post office authorities had for some time refused to pay for their cor.veyances which now pass free: if in consequence of that illegal imposition great excitement prevailed in the neighbourhood, resulting on Monday night in the destruc tion of the toll -gate; and, if her Majesty's Government in tended to take any steps in the circumstances. The LORD AD VOCATE said it was correct that tolls were still levied, but ho could not admit that the Duke of Athole's right to do so had lapsed. There had been a litigation between the Duke of Athole and the Postmaster- General, but it was thought the Duke was entitled to still take the toll, and he did not think Government ought to interfere. Those who thought the tolls were illegal ought to contest the matter. He begged to say ho gave no opinion upon the legality of the matter.

GABRIEL, DENTISTS (Established 1815), of 64, Ludgate - hill, E.(;.,)1 London 5B, Harley - street, Cavendish-square, Liverpool 34, Duke-street, and Brighton have just published a NEW PAMPHLET explaining their Painless System of Dentistry, and self-adhesive Teeth Without springs, at MODMATE CHARGES, Which may be had free by post for four stamps. [ADVERTISEMENT.] —Holloway's Ointment and Pills.— Few persons are so favoured by circumstances, or so for tified by nature, as to enable them to pass unscathed the sore trials of an inclement season. With catarrhs. coughs, and influenzas everywhere abounding, it should be uni versally known that Holloway's ointment, diligently rubbed upon the chest, checks the worst assaults of these maladies and securely wards off more grave and dangerous diseases of the throat and lungs. The truth of thi s asser tion must remain unquestioned in the face of thousands of unimpeachable living attestors, who have personally de rived the utmost possible benefits from this simple treat ment when their present sufferings were app•Alling and their future prospects most dishoartoning. Both remedies sot admirably together. LAW OF MARRIAGE. Colonel BARTTELOT asked the right hon. member for the University of Cambridge when the report of the Com missioners on the Law of Marriage would be issued. Mr. HARDY said the report might be looked for in about a week. THE REFORM BILL. Mr. SCHREIBER asked the Chancellor of the Ex chequer, with respect to the "inhabitant occupiers" of parishes in which compounding acts are now in force, but the whole or part of which it is proposed for the future to include within the limits of Parliamentary boroughs, from what time the personal liability of such occupiers to the poor-rate will commence. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the first referred to was under the consideration of the Boun dary Commissioners ; and with respect to the last in quiry, he thought the repeal of the Act in one parish would entail a similar step in the other. ABYSSINIA. In reply to Mr. FAWCETT, Sir S. NORTHCOTE said they had carefully avoided any alliance with Egypt in the proceedings that it had been found necessary to take in Abyssinia. It had been necessary to ask for permission to pass supplies w Egypt, but nothing more had been done. The Egyptian troops had been recalled from Massowab, and, the report of their further advance appeared to him, according to the latestinformation from Sir R. Napier, to be altogether without foundation. He had no knowledge that great want of water existed. Mr. MAGUIRE asked whether the Government had any information relative to Ling Theodore going to the prisoners, as reported in the newspapers. Sir S. NORTIICOTE said ho had not. ADMIRALTY ACCOUNTS. Mr. SEELY called attention to the correspondence re lating to the cost of building the Frederick William and of repairing the Brisk and the Cadmus, and moved for a select committee to inquire and report as to the application of moneys voted by Parliament for the use of the Admi ralty ; and, secondly, as to the method in which the ac counts should be prepared for presentation to the house. He gave a mass of figures in reference to the cost of building and repairing ships, with the view of showing that the accounts were misleading, and that the actual cost both of building and repairing ships was much more than vt as represented if the direct charges wore all in cluded. Who coumassionere of 1801 reported that the PRIM... 4d. STAMPED sd. accounts of the Admiralty were elaborate and minute, but not to be relied on for any practical purpose. On these grounds ho asked the house to agree to his motion. Mr. CORRY answered the statements of Mr. Seely in detail. The criticisms and statements of the hon. mem ber, he remarked, were much exaggerated, and thereby lost much of their value. Fastening on a statement of the hon. member's at Lincoln that the Frederick William bad cost £282,000, and might have been built in a private yard for £134,000, he showed that the Frederick William had been first laid down for a two-decker and then converted into a three-decker, and from a sailing ship into a screw steamer. He also showed by reference to the cost of re pairs of ships built in private yards as compared with those built in her Majesty's: dockyards that the latter were the cheapest in the end. As regarded the accounts, the Ad miralty had appointed a committee of three heads of de partments to devise a mode of making out the accounts which would be more simple and easily understood, arta said he intended to submit their report to Parliament. He however should not object to the select committee if its in quiries were limited to dockyard expenditure. The motion was then agreed to. Mr. PIM obtained leave to bring in a bill to amend the law relating to the tenure and improvement of land in Ireland. The Habeas Corpus Suspension (Ireland) Act Con tinuance Bill passed through committee, a clause moved by Mr. Bagwell, enacting that no prisoner should be de tained longer than three months unless a fresh warrant was lodged for his detention, being negatived by 81 to 18. The h,use then adjourned. AMERICA. (Per the City of London via Queenstown.) NEW YORK, Feb. 8, Noon. Mr. Thornton, the new British Minister to the United States, was presented to President Johnson by Mr. Seward yesterday, and cordially received. In his address to the President Mr. Thornton com municated the assurance of the Queen's friendship towards the country over which Mr. Johnson so worthily presided. Her Majesty's Government felt deeply grateful for the sympathy shown by America on account of the death of Sir Frederick Bruce. Mr. Thornton concluded by declaring that it would be his endeavour to strengthen the friend ship between the two countries. President Johnson replied that the Queen, more than any other Sovereign, enjoyed the respect and the sympathy of the American people. Her Ma jesty's kind message encouraged him to hope for a speedy adjustment of the existing differences be tween the two Governments. Sir Frederick Bruce had won the respect and friendship of the American Government and nation, and the same considera tion and confidence would be extended to Mr. Thornton. The Financial Committee of the Senate has re ported the Funding Bill, providing for a consoli dated Forty-year Five per Cent. Loan to the amount of all the national obligations except Five per Cents., and exchangeable at par for other national securi ties, the principal and interest to be payable in coin, the Government having the option of redemption after ten years. The Committee has also reported the Banking Bill, removing the restriction upon the circula tion of the United States, and extending it to $700,000,000. The Louisiana Convention has rejected an ordi nance legalising illegitimate offspring. General Hancock has forcibly removed the Street Commissioner of New Orleans from his post for neglect of duty. The Mississippi Republican Convention has nomi nated whites exclusively upon the State ticket. The North Carolina Convention has rejected a resolution declaring that persons unable to read or write are ineligible for public offices. General Meade has extended the time of the Alabama election to Saturday. There are indica tions that the new Constitution will be defeated. Mr. Dickens was cordially received at the Exe cutive mansion by President Johnson yesterday. The New York papers publish advices from Vera Cruz to the 2d inst., stating that the Yucatan rebels have been defeated. The forces of Juarez have oc cupied Merida. Generals Diaz and Escobedo have tendered the resignation of their military commands. It is reported that outbreaks have occurred at Colima and Sinalo. The ilaytian clergy have excommunicated Gene ral Salnave. The British Government has refused to withdraw the British Legation in accordance with the demands of Salnave. Advices from Canada announce that a motion has been made in the Nova Scotian Parliament that the province should withdraw from the Confedera- tion. LYCEUM THEATRE. Mr. Bandmann, a German actor, made his first appearance in this country on Monday evening in a play entitled " Narcisse." When it is said that the drama commenced at eight and lasted till nearly half-past eleven, it may be surmised that the plot is of a complicated nature. The whole purpose of the dramatist is to show how the fall of the Pompa dour was accomplished by the intriguing ministers of the court of Louis the Fifteenth by the discovery of the first husband of the famous marchioness. Mr. Bandmann produced a most favourable impres sion. Mis manner is that of a practised actor, and among his personal qualifications may be included features capable of great variety of expression. The applause given was honestly earned, and Mr. Band mann had secured the good opinion of his auditory long before he had fairly established his success by some impassioned acting in the later portion of the play. There is nothing conventional in his style, which, it may be said, in many respects resembles that of Mr. Fechter, and his elocution is singularly good for a German who has had to master the dif ficulties of the English language. THE PRINCE OF WALES WITH HER MAJESTY'S STAGHOUNDS.—On Tuesday morning his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, attended by Lieut.-Colonel Keppel, Col. Kingscote, the Prince's Master of the Horse, and accompanied by Lord Colville, the Master of the Royal Buckhounds, left Paddington by special train on the Great Western Railway, at 10.10 a.m., in order to hunt with her Majesty's staghounds, the meet being at Iver Heath, near Slough. At the latter junction the Prince arrived at eleven o'clock, and mounting his celebrated hunter, " Paddy," rode with his suite to the meet. Here there was a large field, among whom were Colonel Richardson- Gardner, and the principal followers of the royal hunt, all anxious for the coming sport, the famous deer " Yateley," which gave such a magnificent run last, season, having been expressly sent over for the day's chase. The deer having been turned out from the cart, the pack was laid on after the usual amount of law, and the chase com menced. His royal highness rode splendidly and well up to the hounds, leaving not a few behind. The line of country taken by the deer was by Duke's Wood, Hedgerley green, Sandy-bottom, Stone Dean, and Penn-bottom. The chase lasted for a longer period than usual. SUDDEN DEATH.—A painful sensation has been created in Monmouthshire by the sudden death of 11r. Edward M. Curre, of Itton Court, near Chepstow, in his 'fifty-eighth year. The deceased gentleman will be greatly regretted both by his tenantry and by the whole neighbourhood, to whose hospitalities and charities he very largely contributed. Though his death occurred sud denly at the Queen's Hotel, Cheltenham, on Saturday, Mr. Curre had been for some time out of health, and last year he made a present to the neighbourhood of his pack of gfoibsbhyouunodus,nwds. which are re c n u o n w es called the n, heir soChepstotlo ti v anle estate,dLlau- which has belonged to the family f or centuries, is only 12 years of age. _ The elder Dumas, it is reported, is about to con• struct a novel from the leading incidents of the life and death of Abraham Lincoln.

The Lord Chief Baron and a, special jury have been oc cupied in the Court of Exchequer for several days in hearing the case of Crossley v. Elworthy, in which heavy damages were claimed. The action was brought by Mr. Joseph Crossley, of the firm of Crossley Brothers and Co., carpet manufacturers at Halifax, against the defen. dant, Mr. Frederick Thomas Elworthy, on account of certain false and fraudulent representations made and cir culated by him publicly and privately in relation to the affairs and prospects of a company called " The London and Colonial Company," and in his capacity of managing director of the said company, whereby Mr. Crossley was induced to take shares in the company to the extent Of £50,000. The. London and Colonial was started in the year 1859, principally by the defendant and his friends, for the purpose of purchasing and carrying on the business of 1111-. Robert Tooth, who had been a hop merchant and brewer at Burton-on -Trent and Woolwich. The nominal capital of the company was to be £150,000, divided into £lOO shares, and the purchase-money paid to Mr. Tooth was £60,710. However, of that amount £45,000 was received in shares of the company, and £15,710 in bills, but which were ultimately redeemed. Notwith standing that large dividends were announced, the com pany must always have been working at a heavy loss. In the summer of 1865 the directors were anxious to raise fresh capital ; and as Mr. Elworthy, the managing director, had become somewhat intimate with Sir Francis Crossley, M.P. for Halifax, through their being joint trustees under the will of the late Mr. Kershaw, member for Stockport , whose daughter Elworthy had married, application was ' made to Sir Francis by the defendant to become a shareholder. Although Sir Francis declined to do so, he referred the matter to his brother, the present plaintiff, tommunicating to him the favourable representations which Elworthy had made respecting the company and its affairs, and, above all, that it had been working most suc cessfully for a period of six years, and that the shareholders had earned a uniform dividend of 121 per cent. Shortly following on these representations was issued the pro spectus of JulylB6s, announcing : " The large and growing demand for Burton ales at home and abroad can only be met by a greater supply ; and one of the valuable inci dences of this company is that, by a very moderate outlay on the existing plant, it will be at once capable of doubling its present production without any further expense in management, and with very little increase in the cost of ibour." Now this announcement was set forth at a time then it either was, or ought to have been, thoroughly known to the directorate that their ales were a perfect glut in the colonial market—that their branch, in consequence of the bad quality of their ales, was in general disrepute, and that the losses upon consignments abroad had been enormous, amounting for the previous year alone to the sum of £32,000. Relying upon the statements thus privately and publicly made, Mr. Crossley, the plaintiff, applied for and obtained an allotment of 500 shares of £lOO each, and upon these he paid up at once £25,000. He received two dividends, amounting together to £2 200 ; but at the end of about a year and a half he had come to the conclusion that the company was hopelessly rotten, and accordingly, upon his petition, it was ordered to be wound up in March 1867. Since the order for winding-up has been issued, the creditors have received 7s. Gd. in the calls on potni a a d n e d by the e C r h o q sya u s e da r s s paid A asum At the e sam o e f £lO,OOO time he mains liable for further calls to the extent of £15,000 ; while his actual payments—independently of the loan of £6,000 to the defendant—amount to £35,000, the sum covered by the verdict of the jury. The plaintiff's case is, that, although himself a man of business, he had made no effort to verify the statements put forward by the defendant. He had placed implicit reliance on those statements, and embarked in the speculation accordingly. It had never for a moment occurred to him that the pro spectuses, the balance-sheets, and the reports of the directors could be false and illusory, that fictitious divi dends should have been declared, that consignments abroad should have been represented in the assets of the company as worth £207,000, when it was well known to the directors that bills had been drawn against those con signments to the extent of £131,000, and that their in voiced value was immensely in excess of their real value ; likewise, that a guarantee fund of £35,000 should hav e a been transferred in the balance-sheet of 1865 to profits t a period when the company was only realisin g o losses ; and, lastly, that there should have appeared in the same e balance-sheet an entry of a sum of , 000 Crepresenting urred on th be assets connected with a fire which a .i including asumof presumed had (i theoc which fire. might The de.

It wa s a d m itt e d plaintiff, of t that he had no special qualifications for such a position, that he knew nothing of accounts, and that he knew nothing of brewing. And it was likewise elicited that, although the beer and ales consigned abroad were wretchedly bad, the prices invoiced were those of Bass and Allsopp. In the course of the defendant's cross examination he admitted that a sum of £30,000, which had been lost to the firm by a fire, was brought to the assets of the company in the balance-sheet of 1866. A dividend of 10 per cent, was declared on that occasion, but such a pro ceeding, could not be justified. The jury, after a quarter of an hour's deliberation, returned a verdict for the plain tiff ; damages, £35,000. FIELD-MARSHAL SIR JOHN BURGOYNE. —Amotion about to be made in the Court of Common Council, by Mr. J. E. Saunders, to the effect that the freedom of the City be presented to this veteran officer, in a gold box of the value of 100 guineas, in recognition of the distinguished services rendered by him to his country during a long and useful professional career, and congratulating him on the well-merited honours which her Majesty has been gra ciously pleased to confer upon him. SERIOUS LANDSLIP IN MANCHESTER. —A lana slip lately occurred at the excavation now being made at the site of the new Exchange, Market-street, Manchester. Three labourers who were engaged at the work were par tially buried. Two of them—John Royle, 28, and John Walton, 53—were taken to the infirmary in a cab. The former was found to be suffering from contusion of the thigh, and the latter from contusion of the lower ex. tremities. The third man only received slight bruises. Royle and Walton, who were not seriously injured, had their wounds dressed, and will soon be able to rune work.
