No one can say that the Government has lost time in bringing in the Irish Reform Bill, for last night the Earl of MAYO brought it in. We are glad that it was found possible for them to do so, for it shows that they are anxiousto keep their word, and also that they have good hope of passing the measure this Session. The bill is well devised, and there is every reason to hope that it may meet with the approval of the House (that is to say if no by play takes place), and hon. members are not called upon to pass abstract resolutions, and agree to sundry forms of argument to invalidate it. No change is to be made in the county franchise, which is now fixed at twelve pounds rating, and the borough franchise is to be reduced one-half, from eight pounds to four, and then every man who pays rates will have a vote. It must be remembered that in Ireland those who pay over four pounds for rent pay half the rates. To glance at the result of this change it appears that an addition of nine thousand three hundred and thirteen elec tors will be made, and the whole num ber will be brought up to forty thousand. This is about as much as was expected in all likeli hood, though some may doubtless demur and declare that more should have been done. There is to be a lodger franchise and a Boundary Commission, and the present arrangements as to residence and regis tration will remain unaltered. Some disfranchise ment is to take place, and six boroughs are doomed. This departure from what was supposed to have been a general rule is accounted for by the important reason that additional representation must be given to the counties. It is a pity that no other way could have been contrived of getting out of the difficulty, because it will be sure to provoke controversy. One excuse is to be urged, however, for adopting this system, which is that no small boroughs in Ire land have two members, so that there seems no alternative but to sacrifice the boroughs for the good of the counties. It seems established beyond doubt that the counties, especially the largest ones, are not sufficiently represented according to the present plan. Mr. GLADSTONE contrived even last night to pick holes in the scheme, and said that he could have wished to see a still greater increase in the Irish constituency, but the present bill goes further than his own did in 1865, when he pro posed to reduce the borough franchise from eight pounds to six ; but then we all know that it is one thing to bring in a bill one's-self and another to pass judgment on that of a rival. There will be no difficulty in keeping to the principle of rating in Ireland, because it has been long looked upon in that country as the basis of repre sentation, so that an obstacle will be removed from the catalogue of evils that officious Reformers are sure to find pretty quickly when any scheme to amend the representative system is on the tapis. We think that the House will do well to take this bill of the Government into careful consideration, and allow it to pass, subject to such alterations and improvements as time and thought may suggest. To make it the ground of hostile attacks will be as foolish as it will be ill-timed, and no subject that concerns Ireland ought to be regarded in that light this year at least. With so much bitterness and jealousy extant on this question it will be a great blunder if any statesman or politician seeks for ag grandisement through the difficulties of Ireland, and no true patriot would do so. No doubt the scheme is not perfect, but if it is the best that can be devised just now, the House had better accept it as a step in the right direction ; and we may add that it goes further on the whole than any that has as yet been pro pounded to the House. An amusing occurrence took place in connection with the introduction of the measure, which it is to be hoped will prove a significant augury. Leave was given to bring it in without any remark being made, but in order to give an opportunity for the desired discussion that was to take place, and had been prevented by the misunderstanding that pre vailed, Colonel FRENCH moved the adjournment of the House. Lord MAYO put the matter very fairly before the House, and declared, iu conclusion, that no one could say that any party interests were sought to be accomplished by the measure he intro duced. It happens, moreover, that the six boroughs affected are represented by bon. gentlemen, three of whom sit on one side and three on the other. The endeavour which the framers of the bill have had before them has been " to devise the measure on a plan by which great improvements will be effected with the least possible derangement, and there can be no uncertainty as to the effect it will produce." This may very likely appear rather tame to some aspiring individuals, but, under the circumstances of the case, we think the Government has acted with caution in adopting a sure method of arriving at the desired end. We hope, for the sake of Ireland more than for any other interest, that the bill last night intro duced may become law this Session, for it will cer tainly produce a very unfavourable impression if through any neglect or oversi g h t i t s h ou ld f a il to do so. Misunderstanding will prevail, and an angry and discontented feeling will follow, on the result if such it should be ; but we hope for better things from the combined Wisdom and patriotism of the House, for the occasion is a critical one, and must appeal to the consideration of all. The Bishop of LONDON had last evening a diffi cult subject to deal with, but he treated it with a temperance of tone and moderation of feeling which could have given offence to none of the holders of those extreme views from which he differed. The relations between religious and secular education in large public bodies are always complex and difficult to deal with. On the one hand it is undoubtedly necessary to inculcate religious principles early into the minds of the young, and to govern their moral and mental training in accordance with the leading doctrines of the Christian religion in a Christian country. On the other it is necessary to guard against the ascendancy of religious teachers, especially in a country like our own, in which so many various forms of faith are held and cherished. This per plexity has been strongly felt by those who at tempt to deal with the question of national State education, and it has excited a good deal of con troversy in respect to our national Universities. It was in connection with this branch of the subject that the Bishop of LONDON spoke last night. The petition which he presented from members of the Senate of the University of Cambridge appeared to him of so much importance that he desired to call the particular attention of the House to it. The petitioners represented the holders of those moderate and conciliatory views who are very apt to give offence to both sides from their refusing to go to extremes. The petition had only 35 signa tures, and the right rev. prelate accounted for the smallness of the number by the fact that the line of argument which it took did not accord with either extreme. At Oxford there was, he said, a feeling against any further extension of the advan tages of the Universities to persons not connected with the Church of England, while at Cambridge there was a large and influential body desirous of opening all the positions and fellowships to them. At present such persons are admitted as students in both Universities, all the honours and prizes being open to them, while at Oxford they may take the degree of 8.A., and at Cambridge even that of ➢I.A. At both Universities, howevei; they are excluded from the governing bodies, and are not allowed-to bold fellowships , Very recently THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, MARCH 20, 1868. a men lorial, signed by above 700 members of the Ox ford University, was presented by the Archbishop of Ca nterbury, expressing an apprehension lest the Unirarsity should be secularized, and it should be redui.:ed to the condition of some foreign universi ties, in which the religion of the country is alto gether ignored. The Bishop of LONDON, for his part, disclaims any such fear. " With regard to proposals for extending the honours and emolu ments of the Universities to persons not members of the Established Church, his opinion was they were more or less national institutions, and that whatever was the religious character of the nation would more or less be the character of the Universities." The Senate at Cambridge, and Convocation at Ox ford, are, as the right rev. prelate reminds his hearers, much larger bodies than the House of Peers, and he did not think the presence of persons not members of the Established Church would make any more sensible difference in their composition and character than the presence of noble lords, not members of the English Church, made in that House. Nor did he think that any danger could arise from admitting to Professorships of the sciences men eminent in those sciences, but not members of the English Church. The memorialists, whose petition he presented, thought that when such changes were discussed the question was not be tween members of the English Church and Non conformists, but between professors of Christianity and those not professing it. With regard to the Senate and to the Professorships, however, they were willing to make the utmost concession ; but they thought that, on the other hand, great care should be taken to preserve to the Established Church the government of the colleges. The go verning body of each college is so very limited that there might be great risk in admitting persons not professing Christianity to form part of it. In one college with twelve fellows only four were usually resident, and thus the influence of one man in such a small number must be important. The Bishop advanced other arguments of a similar cha racter, and his speech was listened to with atten tion, and will, we hope, have weight. There are undoubtedly some inconveniences at tending a popular Legislative Assembly, in which every man has a right to express his opinions. Some gentlemen have more regard fcr their own oratory than for the patience or convenience of the House, and are apt to introduce bills which must be withdrawn, to make motions which are absolutely certain to produce no result, and to deliver speeches which nobody listens to. Mr. WHITE, of Brighton, gave us last night a brilliant specimen of his powers in this direction. Notwithstanding the unsatisfactory state of public business, which Mr. DISRAELI had just been lamenting, and notwithstanding the hints of the leader of the House that if matters did not pro gress more rapidly they must sit in Passion Week, Mr. WHITE occupied a considerable portion of the evening by a perfectly useless resolution respecting the compound householder, which everybody joined in advising him to withdraw. A select committee had already undertaken to deal with the matter, and therefore it was most unlikely that the House would consent to pass any fresh resolution on the subject. It was evidently only introduced to give Mr. WHITE an opportunity of airing his eloquence ; and we think with so much pressing business in arrears the House has some right to complain of such a monopoly of its time and its patience. CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS. LFROII OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, THURSDAY, March 19. The great trial which has for so many days past eclipsed all other subjects—Napoleon's pamphlet, Prince Napo leon's journey, the debates on the Public Meetings Bill— is over at last, after having lasted about a fortnight. It will be remembered that Madame Texier, her father M. Chariot, and her maidservant Francoise Richard, Were accused of having poisoned M. Pierre Texier, a wealthy gentleman of La Meilleraye, near Niort, and brother in-law of the first - mentioned prisoner. It was proved that the deceased had been poisoned with arsenic ; it was also stated in evidence by the physicians who attended him that their repeated demands to see the ejections of their patient had been disregards]. It was shewn, too, that Madame Texier owed her brother in-law money, and that she expected to receive a large sum upon his death. The circumstance which told, perhaps, most against her was an alleged friendship, and, it was stated, an intended marriage with Martin Rau, who was some time ago convicted of having poisoned several persons. Thus a strong case was made out against Madame Texier. In the course of the trial the prosecu tion against the servant was withdrawn, but that against the two other prisoners was continued. Madame Texier was exposed to the most harassing cross-examination from the judge. She was, however, quite his match, and chewed herself to be a woman of great ability. She not only resented the chew against herself, but denounced one of the chief witnesses, M. Ganne, the physician, of being the real murderer ; and a startling statement (positively denied by Ganne) was made, to the effect that when he was about to administer some medicine to M. Texier, he tasted it and said, " You see, I don't murder my patients." At length, the evidence being concluded, the counsel for the defence made an impassioned appeal in behalf of his clients, especially the one who seemed to be most deeply inculpated. He painted her as a pattern of all the virtues, in order to prove that she was morally incapable of such a crime. Undoubtedly it had been committed ; it was not for him to say by whom, only ii his (the counsel's) name were M. Ganne he should be very unhappy. He went on to deny that Chariot had been inti mate with Wan ; that he had, in fact, merely acted for him once as solicitor. He then depicted Madame Texier's life during her eight months' imprisonment ; how she had passed her time in constant, earnest prayer ; he told the jury that they had already acquitted her in their consciences, and he appealed to them to restore her to her loving and tenderly-loved children. The people applauded, whereupon the judge ordered the court to be cleared. Madame Texier had what one of the papers calls sarcastically an attack of the nerves. She had to be taken out sobbing and screaming. The judge was told that she was very ill, and it was not likely that she would, recover for an hour. The court was adjourned for that time. At the end of it she returned, and the judge summed up. The jury were absent for a quarter of an hour, and then gave a verdict of not guilty. The end of the scene was of the usua: dramatic character—interesting client and counsel hugging each other, and prisoners, now no longer prisoners receiving an ovation as they passed through the crowded streets. Old Chariot, with his " great bulbous nose," got very purple, and everybody expected that he would hav e a fit. Ho was unable to walk, and was carried away from the dock by his friends. The Temps, commenting upon this trial, says that it shews how defective the law is in not granting compensation in eases of this kind, where innocent persons undergo so much suffering. Your readers will remember that in Switzerland a person wrongfully accused receives, when his imiocence has been established, compensation from the canton in which he is tried. The Etendard has discovered that the riots at Toulouse had really nothing to do with the enlistment, and that this was merely an excuse for executing a plot devised by a secret committee. The trustworthy Pays, "Journal de I'Empire," wants its readers to believe that the enlistment is so popular that in one town the young men put on false head-tops in order to make themselves of the necessary height. Unfortunately, other papers, not " Jour nals of the Empire," mention that disturbances have taken place in other towns —at Ploermel, for instance, an unfortunate soldier was seized by twenty irritated persons and nearly beaten to death. The great fire which took place at Rennes last week is now attributed to popular dissatisfaction excited by the enlistment. The same cause has given rise to demonstrations at Dijon. At Villefort, in the South of France, there have been disturbances among railway navvies, but whether these have anything to do with the enlistment is not stated. It is expected that the committee appointed to deter mine if the journalists shall be permitted to prosecute M. Kerv6guen, the slanderer, will decide in favour of a prosecution. Travellers to Normandy will be glad to learn that one of the beautiful cathedrals even in that part of France is likely to be wndered more accessible to them than it has been hitherto : I refer to Coutances, a town at present little visited, though better worth a visit to the archteolo gist than perhaps any other town in Normandy save Caen and Rouen. It is to be connected by a branch line with the main railway from Cherbourg to Paris. The Archbishop of Algiers has just done a noble deco. Profoundly touched by the horrible sufferings of the people under his care, he has taken charge of no fewer than 800 orphans. The Paris journals are watching your political crist with great interest, and many of them comment upon it at considerable length. The Avenir National says "Under the subterfuge of royal commissions upon the Irish Church and the land, Mr. Disraeli has escaped the grasp of Mr. Gladstone. The chief of the Liberal party must now therefore press more closely upon his adver sary ; he must knock him off his feet. He has already obtained a moral victory ; it remains for him to obtain a material triumph." The recently-born child of the Crown Piince and Princess of Prussia is to be baptised upon the King of Prussia's birthday (March 22, when his Majesty is 71 years old). Among the expected visitors are the Czarowitch of Russia, the Crown Prince of Saxony, the Grand Duke and the Grand Duchess of Saxe-Weimar, the Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, the Prince of Hohenzollern, and the Count and the Countess of Flanders. According to the Memorial Diplaniatique, a brigade of French troops is about to be recalled from Rome, on the plea of insufficient accommodation for the soldiers. In conferring the cardinal's hat upon Prince Lucien Bonaparte the Pope said that he did so " not only to recom pense his services, but also to honour the generous nation so devoted to the Holy See, and the illustrious sovereign who has rendered such brilliant service to the Papacy." The resolution by which the strength of parties is to be tested formed the subject of deliberation on Thursday afternoon, when the Duke of Argyll, Earl Granville, Mr. Cardwell, Mr. Brand, Mr. C. Fortescue, Mr. Bright, and Mr. Glyn met at the house of Mr. Gladstone. The deliberation lasted some time, and it is understood that the leader of the Opposition will shortly call his party together, for the first time since April 5 last year, when he brought forward the famous " instruction" which 11 7 3.2 to have been moved by Mr. Coleridge. The Herald, in noticing this gathering, asks 1 y what title the eight noblemen and gentlemen above referred to speak in the name of a party the most prominent members of which were absent. Have Earl Russell, the Duke of Somerset, Lord Stanley of Alderley, Lord Kimberley, and Messrs. Milner Gibson, Villiers, Goschen, and Childers given a carte blanche to Messrs. Glyn and Gladstone Or do Messrs. Glyn and Gladstone consider it quite un necessary to ask the opinion of persons of such small importance ? Notwithstanding these questions, the Liberal papers assert that the leaders of their party have every reason to be satisfied with the prospects of the resolution. There is no probability of any " Cave," and the Ministry will be beaten. The motion will be fixed for an early clay, and the discussion upon it will be taken before Easter. In the opinion of the Daily News, it is of the utmost importance, in view of an early dissolution, that the position of the present member aof the House of Commons with reference to this great question should be clearly defined. It may be expected that Mr. Disraeli will employ all his art to raise some collateral issue— such as confidence or no-confi dence--so as to provide members who desire to profess Liberalism by-and-bye on the hustings with an excuse for not voting for the disestablishment of the Irish Church on this occasion. Should the House of Commons not under take to settle the question this session, it will form the main issue at the next general election, and no room should be left for any doubt or uncertainty as to the views of individual members of the present Parliament. A meeting of Scotch Liberal M.P.'s has been held, which was attended by nearly all who sit on that side of the House, with the exception of Mr. Laing. Mr. Bouverie occupied the chair. The members pledged themselves to insist upon a provision being inserted in the bill to make proprietors reside in counties, with the view of preventing the creation of faggot votes. They resolved, further, to urge upon the Government to enact that every holding in counties should have a dwelling-house attached. The rating question was discussed at length, and it was believed that the adoption of the rating principle would give rise to great difficulties in Scotland, but it was decided not to oppose the clause in committee. The meet ing declared unanimously, with the exception of Mr. Lamont, in favour of supporting Mr. Baxter's amend ment. Mr. M`Laren said he would divide the House upon his motion for giving fifteen additional members to Scotland. No progress is, however, to be attempted with tho measure until the Irish Reform Bill has been read a —, - . scowl tost INTERNATIONAL COPYRIGHT. A popular author, who, some twenty years since, before he became known to the public, was a cor respondent of this journal (New York Evening Post), writes us the following letter : " The International Copyright Bill, now before Congress, is at once ample in its provisions and liberal in its terms; creditable to your Government for its initiation, and worthy the acceptance of your great nation. " I do not now intrude upon you from any appre hension of its miscarrying. It is to be hoped that this question is definitively settled, and that every member, both of House and Senate, is satisfied not only of the justice, but the expediency, of the measure. " Upon the question of justice, argument seems superfluous. Surely no one will deny to the author, who has laboured twelve months in producing a book, the same protection afforded to him who spends perhaps not so many hours in contriving a new crank to a chaff machine, or screw to a turnip cutter ! Upon such narrow-minded individuals, if there be such, words would be only wasted. "As to the expediency of the proposed act, a multitude of reasons may be advanced in its favour. Space only permits mention of a few, such as the encouragement of your national literature, the spread of those ideas lately so nobly defended by your nation's sword, and which will yet gain greater lustre from its pen, the production of a higher class of works not only increasing the circle of in tellectual pleasure, but extending the sphere of eco nomic usefulness. All these advantages, with a score of others, will accrue from the passing of this simple statute. " No doubt your readers see this as plainly as I. But there is one point upon which, I think, their perception is not quite so clear ; and it is of this I would speak, since it is in danger of being regarded in the light of a drawback. Hitherto the chief ob jection on the part of the American people to a literary concordat with England has, if I mistake not, been the fear of not being able to purchase the works of English authors at a fair and reason able price. This idea, suiting the interests of some half dozen publishing pirates, has been by them carefully cultivated into a popular belief. As a writer of books a little read on both sides of the Atlantic, as one not unacquainted with the commercial sta tistics of book production, I hesitate not to pro nounce the idea a sophism, and the fear utterly groundless. " The compass of a newspaper letter will not allow me to enter into details, else this might be easily shown. But, indeed, the whole question is contained in a nutshell, and may be formulized in a single sentence, as follows : It is not the amount given to the author that fixes the price of the pub lisher, in other words, the price of the book. In days of limited circulation, happily long gone by, it was different, and the author's pecunium had an in fluence on the price of his work. Now it is nothing, or so slight as not to affect it beyond the most insig nificant fraction. " The book that does not come under this cate gory is not worth putting into print. " It is not the writer's compensation then, but the press work and paper, that rules the bookvendor, wholesale or retail.

The Hants Telegraph reports with reference to the Easter Monday Volunteer Review at Portsmouth, that there is a prospect of the necessary accommodation and other arrangements as to details being all that can possibly be desired to render the review successful. The amount already subscribed in the borough is close upon £7OO, and there is reasonable ground for believing that this will be more than doubled in the course of a few days. Many definite arrangements have already been made as to the movements of some of the metropolitan corps. Information, for instance, has reached Portsmouth that the Ist Middlesex, under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Creed, will march from London with a battery of six guns and 50 horses. The corps will leave headquarters on Thursday, and will rest at Guildford and Petersfield. The Honourable Artillery Company will bring 40 horses, and will also bivouac at Petersfield and Guildford. It is esti mated that the field artillery will require 450 horses for the movement of the guns ; and it is also estimated that the infantry present will comprise 160 battalions ; and if. this be so, at least 350 additional horses will be required for the field officers. Thus it will be seen that about 800 horses will be required for the review. It has been deter mined to barricade a portion of Southsea Common to facili tate the march past of the various corps, and to avoid the pressure which would be otherwise experienced from the crowd. There is reason to believe that a grand pyro technic display will take place in the evening, and in order to render this as effective as possible the authorities will be solicited to confer upon the town the grant usually accorded upon such occasions—a supply of fireworks from Woolwich Arsenal. Another object of the committee will be to obtain the services of the Naval Brigade to take part in the review by occupying positions on Porchester Lake, and attacking to the right of the enemy on Portsdown Hill, the effect of which, if carried out, will be one of the most interesting in the programme of the day. The Honourable Artillerj. Company will be entertained to breakfast on the morning of the review by Mr. Alderman Emanuel. In addition to the church parade, which is fixed to enable volunteers to attend Divine service at St. John's on Easter Sunday, arrangements have also been made for the Honourable Artillery Company to attend at St. Thomas Church, Portsmouth, the same day, accompanied by the mayor and corporation. There will be a general effort made on the part of the inhabitants to decorate the town --especially those portions through which the volunteers will pass—and already special subscriptions are being col lected in different localities for this purpose.

Mr. William R,ann Kennedy is a scholar of King's College, and is the fourth gentleman of the same name and family who has distinguished himself in the Clas sical Tripos. He was educated at Eton, and was succes sively Bell's Scholar, and, in 1567, Craven Scholar of the university. Mr. M. C. Cullinan, of Christ's, was educated aa. Dublin University, where he took the first place in classics. He also obtained the Porson University Scholarship at Cambridge. An influential deputation, headed by Lord Elcho, M.P., has just waited upon the Secretary for War to urge upon the Government the necessity for increasing the capitation grant to the Volunteer force. Lorca Elcho, as a member of the commission appointed to inquire into the subject, stated that the commissioners had fixed the grant at £1 in order to see upon how little the Volunteer force could be maintained. But the grant, continued his lordship, had now been proved to be altogether insufficient. Several other gentlemen, among whom were Sir Charles Campbell, Colonel Akroyd, M.P., and Major Dillwyn, M.P., having addressed the right hon. baronet, Sir John Pak ington drew attention to the want of unanimity among the officers of the Volunteers themselves on the subject. Undoubtedly some corps required more funds, but the want was by no means general, and certainly not pressing. The Cabinet had had the matter before them, and, whio vishing well tt the force, they could not consent to any immediate increase in the grant. He would bring the views of the deputation once again before the Ministry, and if they could modify their decision he should be most happy to carry out their views. The opinion is slowly but surely taking possession of the national mind that the defences of the country are not in a satisfactory state. It has long been felt that the money expended on our forts and guns has been to a great extent wasted. As long as the public had the idea that all was right, the waste continued, the only persons benefited having been certain fortunate inventors and con tractors. The plain truth is, that plans have been carried out without having been sufficiently tested. There were the unfortunate Gibraltar shields, for instance, two of which are now, it appears, about to be re turned to England for improvement. The shields were never properly tested before they were sent out. The same thing is being repeated in the matter of the Plymouth and Bermuda forts. The representative sections for test ing, promised so long ago, are not yet nearly ready, while the real work is proceeding, and is likely to be finished as soon as the model. There are assertions confidently made daily that the whole affair will prove a failure, notwith standing which no effort is made to set the matter at rest. Very much the same thing is being carried on, too, with regard to heavy guns. DESTRUCTION OF THE AERATED BREAD COM PANY'S MILL.—On Thursday evening, soon after five o'clock, a fire broke out in the mill in the occupation of the Aerated Company, situate on the east bank of the River Wandle, at Wandsworth. An alarm was immediately given, and the fire-engines of Messrs. Young and Bain bridge and Mr. Bell were quickly on the spot. Before they could be brought into play the flames had extended along the greater portion of the building, and the roof was pierced in several places. Notwithstanding an ample, supply of water, the River Wandle running within a few yards, the engines were totally inadequate to cope with the fire, and for nearly one hour the flames had uncontrolled mastery of the building, and floor after floor fell in. Th e building is entirely gutted, and a very large quantity of stock destroyed. "LOCK-OUT" AT SALTAIRE. — The extensive and well-known manufacturing establishment of Messrs. T. Salt, Sons, and Co., at Saltaire, near Bradford, was on Thursday standing idle, the engine and machinery having been stopped and the gates closed. On Wednesday a deputation from the weavers employed in the establish ment made an application to their employers for an advance of wages. They were required to spew whether any other firm in the district were giving higher remune ration, but they were unable to offer such evidence, and failed to make out a satisfactory case. The most that could be said in support of the application was that there were indications of a revival of trade, and it was thought by the workpeople that the time had come for an advance of their remuneration. The senior partner was present when the application was made, and greatly incensed at what he regarded as an unreasonable application before there are indications of a permanent revival, and so early after a long and severe depression, during which the workpeople have been fairly employed, he at once not only rejected the application, but ordered the works to be stopped. Some of the spinners, it is said, had previously ceased to work, and there were symptoms of an intended strike. Iffany thousands of workpeople at Saltaire are idle, and as some of the junior partners left the Saltaire Railway Station for Bradford market they Were 99ted by a dense crowd pf belle youths, --- -- 4 4 HER MAJESTY.

This was an action to recover £2O for services alleged to have been rendered to the defendant, who is secretary octhe Warrant Finance Company (Li mited). It appeared that the Warrant Finance Company had some extensive interest in the Na• tional Land Company (Limited). The latter com pany was ordered to be wound up, and defendant was appointed liquidator. Plaintiff, who was one of the clerks i❑ the office of the Warrant Finance Company, had been employed by the defendant in doing some work in connection with the National Land Company, and for this he charged. Plaintiff stated that he had done the work in ques tion during office hours, but he was obliged to stay late in order to do his general work. Mr. Butler Rigby, for the defendant, called his client to show that although he was the liquidator he was a liquidator without fees. His Honour held that as the work had been done the inference was that it must be paid for. There had been a certain agreement put in under which the plaintiff was to perform work upon the order of the directors of the Finance Company, and of the superior officers, but that clearly meant the work of that company and not extra labour. Plaintiff would have a verdict with costs. Mr. Rigby gave notice of appeal. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-THIS DAI'. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. IMPORTANT TO THE KEEPERS OF HORSES._Mr• Elenry Rain, carrier of Eltham, Kent, appeared before Mr. Knox, to answer the complaint of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, of causing a horse to be ill-treated by being worked in an unfit state, and a man in WO employ, named M'Lean, was charged with cruelty to the horse by working it. Inspector Temperley, of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, proved seeing M'Lean driving the horse, which was at tached to a van containing furniture, and noticing that it was very lame he examined it, and found that it had a disease of the foot of long standing , and that it appeared to be in great pain, and ou speaking to M'Lean about it he said that his master, Mr. Rain, knew its condition. . _ The defendant Rain said that he worked the horse under the advice of his farrier, who said that working it a little would do it good. Mr. Cherry, the Government veterinary surgeon. proved examining the horse in the Green-yard, and said that it was very lame of both hind legs and one fore foot from a disease of long standing. Mr. Knox said that the defendant Rain had said that he was recommended to work the horse. Mr. Cherry said it was a most improper recom mendation, and it was cruel to work a horse in such a state, and no properly-qualified veterinary surgeon would give such a recommendation. The horse might be cured, but it would take a long time to do so. It was a curious circumstance, but nevertheless true, that a horse with a diseased fore foot did not fall away like one that had a disease of the hind foot, and therefore persons were often led to suppose that they did not suffer so much pain In consequence. The defendant, Rain, said the horse should be turned out, and not worked till it was sound. He had been guided by the advice given him. Mr. Cherry said the officer, Temperley, ha d told him that other horses of Mr. Rain's were la a bad state. Mr. Knox said as the defendant, Rain, would have heavy expenses to pay, he should only order him to pay the costs, .El. 35., and M'Lean would be discharged. FORTY SHILLINGS FOR No THING. —Mr. Job ll , Geary, of Queen-street, Marylebone, was charg ed before Mr. Knox with being drunk and incapab le of taking care of his horse and trap in Tottenham' court-road. Police-constable Phillip Fuller, 481 T agt night I saw the defendant in a cart in the Totten' ham-court-road, and as he was drunk and stopping the traffic, I was obliged to take him into custody' Mr. Knox—What became of the trap? Constable—l took it home. Mr. Knox—What is the defendant ? Defendant—l am a gentleman. Mr. Knox—l am glad to hear it, as you will b e able to pay a fine. Defendant-1 had been with a friend, a publieei ll i to Harlesden-green, and I only took two glasse s ° spirits all day. I daresay the constable might h as thought I was drunk, but I was not. I have bet a tradesman of Marylebone for 30 years, and I "' never before a magistrate before. Mr. Knox—You might have run over some 013 e. You will have to pay 40s. Defendant—Forty shillings for nothing ? id The defendant paid the fine, but very reluetantir THAMES. , if Of RAILWAY TENANTS.--A solicitor, on bens .- . the North London Company, applied for a c erti ; ficate to enable the company to eject a great alf 4l '; poor tenants from houses in Denbigh-ter ra f o ; Bow. The company had purchased the houses iv the improvement and extension of the railw a y' tto owners had been compensated, but tho would not withdraw, although plenty of chl e tenements and lodgings could be obtained ill t immediate neighbourhood. tl 3 ° Mr. Paget having satisfied himself that a.• forms of the law had been complied with g r3 tat the certificate asked for, and it was understood 001 the rescusant tenants would be ejected forth° and the tenements destroyed.
