(Bofore Vice-Chancellor KNIGHT BRUCE.) liis Honour heard cause petitions and petitions to day, none of which possessed any interest. (Before Vice-Chancellor Lord CRANWORTH.) WEBSTER V. THE SOUTH-EASTERN RAILWAY COMPANY, JUDGMENT. His LORDSHIP gave judgment in this case, which came before him a short time since upon motion on behalf of the plaintiff, Sir Godfrey Webster, of Battle Abbey, in Sussex, for an injunction to restrain the defendants, the South-Eastern Railway Company, from keeping posses sion of or entering upon certain land for the purposes of their railway belonging to the plaintiff, nearßattleAbbey. His Lordship, after going shortly into the case, ordered the motion to be dismissed with costs. The Court, after disposing of most of the cases that good in his Lordship's paper by order, and several short claims, proceeded with the hearing of the alijournt'd petitions. QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco.) SIEVERIGHT V. ARCHIBALD. Lord CAMPBELL said the Court had determined upon granting a rule to show cause in this case. The Court then proceeded to hear cases in the Crown paper; that of " The Queen v. Wigton," having refer. ence to the validity of the order of a removal of a luna tic pauper, occupying the greater part of the morning. Their Lordships rose early, in order to be present at the argument of " The Queen v. Bird," in the Exche quer Chamber. COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco.) DOE DEM. BAINBRIGGE V. BAINBRIGGE. This important case was resumed this morning. The reading of the Judge's notes and the depositions, which occupied the whole of yesterday and was not finished last night, was resumed this morning and ter minated shortly after twelve o'clock. The Court then rose, the Learned Judges having arranged to sit in the Court of Criminal Appeal in the Exchequer Chamber. The case will be resumed on Tuesday morning. EXCHEQUER CHAMBER. (THIS DAY.) CRIMINAL APPEALS. THE QUEEN V. BIRD AND WIFE. All the judges of the three common law courts, with the exception of Mr. Baron Platt, who is at chambers, sat in this court this afternoon for the purpose of hearing the arguments in the above case, the particulars of which have been repeatedly before the public. The Court was crowded to excess with strangers, and there was a very numerous attendance of gentlemen of the bar. The prisoners, it will be recollected, were tried at the last Exeter Spring Assizes fur the murder of Mary Ann Parsons, an apprentice girl, and ultimately acquitted. At the subsequent assizes they were indicted and con victed of an assault, and an appeal was made to this Court to quash the conviction. Mr. SLADE, who now appeared for one of tho pri soners, Robert Curtis Bird, submitted two propositions for the consideration of the Court. The first proposi tion was, that the true issue raised by the pleadings was not presented to the jury by the Learned Judge who tried the case, and that if it had been, the defendants would have been entitled to an acquittal; and next, that as a general rule of law, the prisoners having been ac quitted on the first indictment, which included all the assaults contained in the second, could not be tried again for the same offence. The case was not likely to conclude to-day. BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) _ (Sittings in Banco before Mr. JnsticeptLE.) Mr. COWLING moved for a rule nisi calling upon a Mr. Longhorn, a shoemaker, in Old Hutton, in West moreland, to show cause why a mandamus should not issue commanding him to pay the overseers of that township the sum of 1951. 4s. 10d. under the following circumstances:—Some time ago a man named Richard Simpson was tried for murder - at the Westmoreland Summer Assizes, and acquitted on the ground of in sanity. He was nevertheless detained in prison, and shortly afterwards two parties of the county, assisted by a commissioner of lunacy and a surgeon, inquired into the state of his mind, and certified, under the Act of Parliament which gave them authority to take cogni zance of the matter, that he was insane. Sir George Grey, her Majesty's Principal Secretary of State, who had power to do so under the same Act, ordered him to be removed to a lunatic asylum at Gateshead, in the county of Durham, and there he has remained ever since. Now, Simpson is possessed of considerable property of a leasehold character, while Mr. Longhorn, the party against whom the present application was made, held 1951. 4s. 10d. in trust for the lunatic. This having been ascertained, an order of justice, in pursuance of the provisions of the Act of Parliament, had been served on Longhorn, requiring him to !give up the money to the overseers of the township of Old Dutton, so that they might reimburse themselves the expenses they had been put to in ascertaining the lunatic's state of mind and removing him to the asylum, as well as maintaining him there. Longhorn, however, acting un der the advice of counsel, refused to comply with the order, and as there was no other means of enforcing it the overseers had been compelled to sue for the inter ference of this Court. Mr. Justice ERLE doubted whether a mandamus would lie; the remedy should be by an action at law. Mr. COWLING said the Act of Parliament certainly gave the overseers the power of seizing the lunatic's pro perty, but as Longhorn was in no way violating the civil law in retaining possession of it, he very much doubted whether he could be made amenable to an ac tion for trover or any other cause. If, therefore, the mandamus were refused, the overseers would have no remedy, and the support of the lunatic would be thrown upon tho country, notwithstanding that he was possessed of sufficient means to maintain himself, which would certainly be an anomalous state of things. There were analogous cases inithe books to this, and as it was of im portance to the public that the point should be fully dis cussed, he hoped the Court would grant a rule to show cause. Mr. Justice ERLE thought enough had been stated to justify a rule to show cause, and the Learned Counsel might, therefore, take one, cAlling upon Longhorn to answer the facts, or to show why the overseers should not seizs the property of the lunatic. Rule nisi accordingly. THE EXHIBITION AND ITS BUILDING.—Sir,--- Your readers will be glad to learn, if they have felt the force of your well-meant and kindly -expressed remarks as to the junctionstrength o the t h b e u navei di n in Hyde Park as strongly as I have, that the contractors a re strengt h en i ng t h e s t ructure at thebuilding transept, by the introduction of a second column at each angle, firmly bolted at intervals to the existing columns. This, as 3ou pointed out some ago, is a very weak part of the building, and could not safely have been left as at first constructed. A second girder ought to be put in on each side, over the wide span. I should not have written this note, but I heard you very improperly blamed and condemned for your remarks, a short time ago, i n the presence of some very disti ngu i s h e d persons connect e d with the Exhibition, and I feel it to be my duty to point out that the justice of your observations has been fully proved by the additions made to the building, and to offer you my earnest thanks.—A COMMISSIONER.

Mr. Twiss resided for some time in Cork.— Cork Constitution. ADMITTING CRIMINALS TO BAIL BEFORE TRIAL BT THE JUDGES.—The judges have at length come to the important determination, in all cases whereia applications are made to them to admit to bail persons committed for trial on criminal charges, to order the depositions taken by the committing magistrate to be produced before them by the magistrate's clerk, so that they may be read as part of the proceedings. This is a most important move in the right direction, as it will be the means of preventing some of:the most desperate thieves escaping from justice with the impu nity the former practices encouraged.

LOYAL UNITED FRIENDS.—On Thursday evening last, the twenty-fourth anniversary of the opening of the No. 2 lodge of this important order was celebrated in a public supper, at the lodge-house, the Rose and Crown, Fort-street, Old Artillery-ground, Spitallields, on which occasion a highly respectable body of the Friends partook of an excellent en tertainment served up in Treasurer Norris's proverbial good style.

After the customary l o yal toasts had been given, " Success to the Order, with Prosperity to the Gift Fund," was proposed and well received. Other appropriate toasts, including the healths of the chairman and treasurer afterwards followed, and the greatest good feeling was prolonged until a late hour. Mits.

There were present Sir Henry de la Beche, R.E. (chairman) ; S. M. Peto, Esq., M.P.; Philip Hardwick, Esq. ; J. Lawes, Esq. ; Thomas Hawes, Esq. ; Captain Daw son, R.E. ; and the undernamed City Commissioners, viz : Deputy Peacock (Chairman of the City Sewers) ; Deputy Harrison, Alderman Lawrence, and Henry Lowman Taylor, Esq. A synopsis of the proposal for the northern drainage was submitted to the Commissioners present, and approved of by them ; and, in consequence, an order was made by the Committee that the officers of the City and Metropolitan Courts should report, in full, at the next public meeting, which, it was agreed, should be held on Friday next, the 31st instant. The Committee then adjourned. CHILD MuaDaE.—During the last few days the vicinity of John-street, llolloway-mount, Curtain-road, has been in a state of excitement in consequence of the dis covery of a child murder under circumstances of considerable atrocity. It appears that on Tuesday morning a man named John Dutton, a shoemaker, residing in the house of Mr. Wilson, No. 7, John-street, Holloway -mount, Curtain-road, Shoreditch, went to the water-butt in the back yard, to pro cure some water, when his attention was attracted by some peculiar sounds in the water-closet, and conceiving that it might be a puppy dog belonging to one of the lodgers in the house, he made an alarm, and on looking down the closet, they discovered the body of a newly-born child, lying in a cramped position, and whining. They took it up in a dying state, and instantly sent for Mr. Bowers, surgeon, of the Cur tain-road, who rendered it every assistance, and ordered it to be taken to Shoreditch workhouse, where it shortly after wards expired. Yesterday an inquest was he'd upon the body of the deceased child, when it was adjourned, with in structions to Sergeant Harvey to use his best efforts to trace and apprehend the unnatural mother. There is a freemasonry in sorrow which makes all brothers, and which the common children of that sad parent are seldom slow to recognise.—Eliza Cook's Journal. ELOPEMENT.—A few days ago a young lady, pos sessed of considerable fortune, eloped and got married to a policeman stationed at Drogheda, where she resided. THE EAST AND WEST INDIA DOCKS EXTENSION RAILWAY TO CAMDEN TOWN.—This railway, which will connect the East and West India Docks with the North- Western Railway at the goods station of the latter company, at Camden Town, has all its arches completed. The viaduct across the Hampstead-road is erected over that thoroughfare, and on each side it, several feet above the bridge, sheets of cast iron are being rivetted together, for there is a constant traffic under it, to prevent the transit of the trains being seen by the horses in the various vehicles, &c. The line is expected to be opened about the middle of the next month. When completed a large amount of goods traffic, which is now conveyed by vans through the metropolis, will be for warded by this line to and fro, and there can by means of it be a direct communication with all the northern parts of the country, as besides its junction with the North-Western it crosses the Northern and Eastern Counties lines. TIME THE AVENGER. By the author of "Emilia Wyndham," "The Wilmingtons, &c.—" in this fiction, " assio o says the Weekly News, " there is all that intena r i e ty of 0 1) e same and of power which has earned for th e auth S 3 distinctive character among contemporary novelists that Ford and Webster possessed among the dram atists of the Elizabethan age. With the dir ect force o f h omely . pathos very its. siar rarely sh. does this powerful writer stri ke to the heart in numberless passages of this strange sad history. h There is a vitality, a strength of truth, about the ebook,r a ctions w w h ich h off s a s been surpassed, even in the The work is full of the outpourings of a soul resolute in the strength of a firm conviction, and fervid with the glow of an irxepropible ardour to dv goed."

DEATH OF COLONEL GARLAND, K.H.—We have to record the demise of this distinguished officer, who ex pired on the 17th instant at hi s temp o r ar y abode in the south of France. The deceased saw some rough service, and was the holder of a Waterloo and old war medal. He entered the service as ensign in 1805. Colonel Garland had been on the unattached list since 1825.

TIM WRECK OF TIE ROYAL GEORGH AND BOYNE, AT SPIT HEAD.-Mr. Edward A ust i n has, b y spec i a l p Imiss i on from the Ad m i ra l ty, b een allowed to remove the remaining portions of the wrecks of the Boyne and Royal George, from the anchorage at Spithead, with a proviso that the Government are not to be put to any expense on any account.

GRANT'S DISTILLING GALLEY.—Th Birkenhead is to be ready by the Wilt of next month : The shipwrights are in,king all possible haste in fitting her topg,llant forecastle; her bottom Las been scra; , ed, and Mr. H a y is giving her a coating of his composition. It is said she is to take a company of artillery and other detachments of troops to Halifax; but if this is her destination she will not sail for two months to come. The cooking and distilling apparatus (Mr. Grant's) is to, be taken out cf the Termegant and placed under the forecastle on board the Bi;kmhead, which, as wo hive said before, will give much greater space for the accommodation of troops on her main deck. The Vulcan, also at Sheerness, is to have Mr. Grant's galley fitted on board. It has been so very much approved of in every vessel which has been fitted with it that it must entirely supersede the use of the old galley. We hear still f ur th er con fi rmat i on of its great utility, not only in that most desirable result—in keeping the crew of the ship in health; but also on the score of economy. We have seen reports of this galley from dif ferent officers in the Royal navy, in ships now employed on foreign stations, that are most laudatory, and confirm preceding favourable accounts of its great utility, not only in point of ecenonay, but in the essential matter of preserving the health of the ships' crews. In the Reynard, fitted with Mr. Grant's patent galley, the ' average of persons on the sick-list has been, while in China, not more than _> 1.3 per cent., and this has been solely attributable to the wholesomeness of the distilled water. The Serpent, when lying alongside the Rey nard at Hong-Kong, had 70 on the list, suffering from an epidemic; while the Amazon also had a large sick list. The sickness on board British men-of-war on this station is in a great measure owing to the unhealthy water that is received on board. A Turkish gentleman belonging to the navy, who has been for the last few months studying the art of ship. building at the private building-yard of Mr. White, at Cowes, has been allowed to go on with his studies in Portsmouth Royal dockyard. Avon steam tender has returned to Devonport from oulwich. Calliope, 26, Captain Sir E. Home, is complete as far as the dockyard is concerned ; she has taken Ler anchors and chain cables on board, and will ba ready to go out of Dovonport harbour to-day or Monday. Devon lighter, Bond master, sailed on Friday for Falmouth with stores for navigating the Astrpi to De vouport. lo'clefatigable, 50, Captain Smart, is out of the bands of the dockyard at Devonport; no day is yet named for her being paid down. Volcano steam-vessel. Commander Rivers, touched the ground going into Falmouth, but having received no damage, proceeded to the coast of Africa. PORTSMOUTH, FRIDAY. —The Oberon steam-vessel, Lieutenunt-Commander Harvey, came into harbour yes terday, and will be paid off, all standing, to-morrow, if her books are returned by that time. The Sprightly steam-tender sailed this afternoon for Devonport, with marines and marine artillery to put on board the Sampson :.team-frigate for passage to the coast of Africa, to reinforce Commodore Fanshawe'd s q nadron. _ _ The Hecate steam-sloop, Commander Hand, has been taken under the shears to-day to receive a new mainmast, the original being defective. The Lady Kennaway freight-ship, having embarked prisoners from Cowes, returned to Spitbead this after noon to wait for sailing orders. Prisoners from the cen vict depOt at Portland were brought up this afternoon by the Government tug Echo. _ The Blenheim, 56, screw guard-ship, Captain W. H. Henderson, C.J3., will be paid oil on the 3d proximo, and recommissioned on the following day. The Horatio, 24, screw guard-ship, proceeded down the Medway on Wednesday to try her screw. The Vulcan iron sham-trigate, was commissioned yes terday at Sheerness, by Mr. John Penn, as Master- Commanding, for troop and stir() service. PLYMOUTH, THURSDAY.—Her Majesty's frigate Slia. Hope, 26, Captain Sir J. E. Home, was worked to her sailing moorings yesterday. In consequence of the stormy weather on Monday, a liberty boat from this frigate ran ashore near the new works at Keyham, and one of her crew broke his leg when landing. The Bloodhound steamer was on Tuesday placed in No. 5 dock to have bottom examined; she will probably remain there until the 30th inst. A party of caulkers was sent on Tuesday on board the FantoraP, 12, ,Commander J. IL Genus, is the Sound. The lower yards and topmasts of the Indefatigable, 50, Captain Smart, wero sent up on Monday. The lighter Marceuvrer, bound to Portsmouth on Monday, put back in charge of two mackerel boats, having lost her masts outside the harbour. WooLwicn, JAN. 24.—The Argus steam-sloop went down the river yesterday to Greenhithe. It is intended, when the iron tanks are put on board, and the compasses are adjusted, to try her speed at the measured mile at Sea Reach, when her speed will be made known. APPOINTMENTS. Lieutenants—C. Gibbons (1848), to the Encounter, U, steam-frigate, at Lisbon; Henry J.

Hastings, went down the river yesterday afternoon, to friable Mr. Humphreys, chief engineer at the Factory at Woolwich Dockyard, to ascertain the working condition of her engines, and they were found to be in such remarkably good order that the- vessel is ordered to be paid off here on Tuesday next, with her rigging all standing as she is, to be again com ani,sioned immediately after rho is paid off, for further service on the coast of Africa. The Cyclops' engines are of 320-horse power, by Seaward and Cape), and undee went a thorough repair at this dockyard about three years and a half ago; and a very trifling renovation of several minor parts will enable them to serve again for another period of commission.
