The Committee on the Bill for defining the respon sibility of the President of the Republic and his Ministers resolved, on the motion of M. Pradie, that they would reserve the question of urgency, and proceed immediately to the discussion of the clauses of the Bill. A debate then ensued, and, after several of the Members had delivered their opi nions, it was resolved to introduce the 68th article of the Constitution on high treason into the first clause of the Bill, as far as that article refers to the right of the Assembly, as mentioned in the amendment of M. Pradie. The Commission then discussed the case of high responsibility provided for by the second section of the first article relating to the provocation of the violation of the Constitution. The Commission adjourned without coming to any decision on that proposition. GERMAN Y. A letter from Hamburgh, of the 233, in the bide . pendance of Belgium, says :—"A grave event has taken 'in Holst e i n . armee place amongst the Austrian corps d .Many of the regiments composing it consist in groat part of Hungarians, and a mongst them are many young men of noble families, who are compelled by ther Austrian Government to serve as simple soldiers. In spite of the disasters drawn down on u n f or t una t e Hungary by the revolution, these soldiers cannot repress the hatred whichanimates them, or their desire for a new revolution. The presence in England of the ax-Dictator Kossuth, and his violent diatribes against the Austrian Government and dynasty, have greatly contributed of late to excite the sen timents of hatred of the Hungari.n soldiers, and an armed revolt, of which the consequences would have been in ca l cu l a bl e i n t h e north, h as b een on tlio point of breaking out amongst them ; but it has been prevented by the active surveillance of the superior ofilcers of the Austrian battalions. Au agent of Kossuth and of the revolutionary propaganda of London, the Hungarian Count Potocki, who com manded a regiment it Comore during the revolution, was arrested the day before yesterday by the military authorities of Rensburg ; he had arrived from London by way of Paris under a false name. In .his posses sion were found proclamations exciting the soldiers to revolt, and printed copies of the last public speeches in Engl4nd by the ex- Dictator. It was generally stated in the town that many officers (the number is said to be nineteen), and a great number of nnn-conamissioned officers and soldiers have also been arrested at Rensburg„ for having been ac complices in the projected revolt. There arrests have been priocipally effected in the Schwa; z , llberg regiment, which is almost entirely compesvd of I.lun gariins, and which is at p resen t in garrison iu the fortress of Iten , burg. It has been ascertained toat the agen.; of Kossuth, aided by another Hungarian, Ruschalc, and who hes also been arrested, had sun ceeded in org.mizing the revolt. In a srategie point of view s the spot was well chosen. In possessing the:lns-Ives of the fortress, the conspirators cAculated that they would receive the support of a number of the dismissed officers and soldiers of the army of Holstein. A new insurrecim in the two Duchies would have opened a vast field to the revolutionary exploits meditated by the European propaganda at London. Dating I. e last three days the electric te legraph lres been eclusively occupied in transmitting to Vienna the dispatches of the Austrian Commander in -Chief; even those cf Stock Exchange could not be sent. On receipt of these deplorable news at Vienna, General de Ramberg, an aide-de-camp of the Emperor, was immediately sent off to examine the affair, and he has already arrived at Altona."

T.HE EARL OF CARLISLE ON ME !.-: aAN 1 CS' IN S 11 TUTION S. The foundation-stone of a Dew mechanics' institu bution was laid on Tuesday at Burnley, in Lanca shire, by Mr. C. Towneley, of Tovvneley Park, amid much r4-jaicing by the inhabitants, who made the day a general holiday, and assembled in large numbers to witness the proceedings. There was a large and influential gathering at Towneley Perk, including the Earl of Carlisle, as Chancellor of the duchy ; the Earl of Sefton, as Lord- Lieutenant of the county ; Sir J. P. Kay Shuttle worth ; the Honourable Colonel Scarlett ; Mr. Patten, M.P. ; Mr. Heywood, M I'. ; Mr. li-yworth, M.P. ; and a number of influential gentlemen in the neigh bourhood. In the evening a tea party was held in the school-room of Salem Chapel, opposite to the site of the new building. The tea-drinkers subsequently assembled in the chapel, where they were joined by Mr. Towneley and his noble guests. In the course of the evening, - Alr.Towneley, as chairman, called on the Chancellor of the Duchy to address the meeting. The Earl of CARLISLE then rose and spoke nearly as follows :—Mr. Chairman, Ladies,!and G entleman— I mast really begin by thanking you, which Ido from my heart, for the very generous reception which you have given to one who is as yet a stranger to the town of Burnley. But you, sir, have just car ried me back to Yorkshire ; and it is certainly true that across the hills which rise above your town I have bad many opportuuies of addressing audiences upon many similar occasions, in some of thoze valleys which, like your own, are distinguished alike by the beauties of theif natural scenery and by the busy hum of human in dustry—(Hear, hear)—and I feel that in coming be fore a Lancashire atraience we are no longer living in the times so eloquently referred to by a late speaker, when the names of York and Lancaster signalised different factions and different parties—(Hear, hear) —hut now, on the coatrary, in our happier era, either your red rose has paled, or our white rose has blushed into one ' common colour—(Cheers)—and instead of contending for rival causes, or for opposing dynasties, we may now only try to demonstrate which has the greatest number, which has the best supported, which has the best conducted mechanics' institutions.— (Hear, hear.) I have had many occasions hereto fore, and very recent ones too, for remarking upon the :singular elasticity of these mechanics' institutions --I mean their adaptation to the varied aspects of our society. Scarcely a month ago I attended a similar meeting lu the city or Lincoln, an old and picturesque -guilt town, the capital of the most agri culttual di',.tr:ct in England, the towers of whose ma jestic cathedral look down from their lofty perch upon et wide expanse of reclaimed fens and level corn-fields. Well, among that rural population, under the shade of that old cathedral, a thriving mechanics' in stitution has been established ; and now I find myself in Burnley, one of that cluster of communities and busy manufacturing towns, which stud this district of England like the broad bramen knobs on some old belt. It may be true that their names are not surrounded with the halo of classical or rwelantic association. The names of Bolton, and Blackburn, and Bury, and Bacup, and Bernley— (Loud applause followed the mention of each name) •—welcome as their pronunciation seems to be to some cif your ears, yet they have not the imposing and pic turesque sound either of Thebes, of Corinth, or Argos, of ancient Greece, or of Padua, of Mantua, of 'Verona, of mediaeval Italy ; but they have at least this point of comparative advantage, they are not marshalling their inhabitants into trained bands to batter down each others' walls, to assault each others' citizens ; but their contention—if contention there is—ranges them as rivals in the pursuits of a peaceful industry ; and if tb ey are ever at strife with each other, it is upon the great field of honourable enterprise, where all the laurels which are won serve both to rewardowt,heinin; selves and to enrich, the whole community. s place and district like this I consider a mechanics' in stitutionppropriate append age , and to be a most a therefore it was with great pleasure that I found myself enabled to take part in the auspicious proceeding s o f this morning. And when I say it is an appropriate appendage I feel that I understate the truth—it is I most desirable, almost a n i n dispensable one, bare referred to the natur e o f the pursuits because which are followed here as b e i ng p eace f u l, an d useful, and ho - nourable ; but at the same time we must not forget that primarily- and in themselves they are conversant with only what is material, with the way, to use a homely phrase, of malaing money—(Hear)—and that they may have a tendency, if unchecked and un- • .balanced by anything in an opposite direction, to in jure and enchain, and beat down some of the mere delicate tastes and sonio of the loftier aspirations of the human mind.—(H ear, hear.) Far be it from me, in Lancashire, or any ehere else, to speak slightingly of cotton—(Laughter) —but you must feel that cotton and calico, though they make admirable stock ings and other equally indisp ensa bl e articles of cloth ing, yet they do not in themselves furnish up the whole, men —(fleer, and cheera) Now, I have ob served that a Aeiosa , ?cc, )mpli s h ed and able pers on —l may call kiln a fLhow -lecturer of my own— ire a lect arc whi c h he has recently de- Lyen Play fair, . opinion with respect to the 1 livered, gives it as his modes ofeducation put': ued in this country, that in ae ,, teelieiit collog es enough attention has not .J7....,Egsientifics instruction and regular in /74404 iietilitiw,—(Hcar.)

THE SUN, open page of nature, and the living wonders which are around and about and beneath and above us. Now, I think probably he is in the right in this ; but at the same time lam convinced that almost every prevailing direction, both of the individual mind and of society at large, ought to have administered, always to be ready to have administered to it something in the way of free action and of a corrective.—(Hear, hear.) It may be very well in the quiet of academic bowers—as my friend Mr. Heywood may probably remind me—it would be well that the stern cloisters of Oxford, and the still shades of Cambridge—re taining, as I hope they will ever do, their old appro priate sources of learning, not ignoring—to use a modern phrase which I may probably be told in those classic precincts is a barbarous one—but not ignoring the accustomed voice of their muses, yet it might be well that they should reflect still more, as I believe t h e y have begun to do, of the aspect of the century, and of the society in which they are placed.—(Hear, bear.) But on the other hand, it is no less desirable that, in &distri c t lik e thi s , w h ere th e p ursu it of wealth is the habitual rule ; where the recurring routine of labour is the daily life, where the steam-engine and the power-loom, and mechanics and machines seem to be the lords of time and space, of the body and of the mind—(A voice—" No, no.") —it is well where there is such a tendency, I say, that without neglect ing, on the contrary, while you directly encourage those subjects and inquiries which are congenial to the place, while you promote the study of the laws of nature, or inquire into the properties of matter, at the same time means of access should he given, an opportunity of hearing, at least, should be afforded to the claims of general literature—to the sober muse of history—to the fervent acctnts of oratory, and to the sublime in spirations of song.—(Hear.) And, first, ladies and gentlemen, as it is the boast of our country, England, that it is the same country which produced our New ton, who has laid down the positive and ascertained laws of other worlds and of other systems ; and our Shakspere, whose imagination peopled worlds almost as numerous and quite as bright ; while these mingling characteristics, however, distinguished our countrymen, at once the most sober-minded and the most adventurous race which the world has known, so let it be the aim and glory of our own times, on the one hand, to make the study of the recluse and the vigil of the student still more available for meeting the wants of the present time, and for the mastery over nature, still more useful, still more practical, still more suited to the age in which we live, than they have vet been ; while, on the other hand, we should aiml to throw around the dry monotony of toil, and the plodding perseverance of labour, charms and graces which are not their own.—(Ch eers .) A n d f or this reason I rejoice that such an i n stit ut i on as h as a l re ady existed—and which it is now proposed to extend and to diffuse, to embody in a more worthy home, and to diffuse further in its genial influences all around you—should exist in your town. I rejoice to hear that it is proposed to combine with it lecture• rooms and class-rooms for drawing and music, classes for languages, and a well-assorted library. I rejoice to hear that it is not to be wanting in the graces of external architecture ; and I trust that you will show yourselves alive to the occasion which opens itself thus before you ; and that when the form has been 'n, ulch d, when the bricks and mortar—l beg pardon, I believe you have excellent stone of your own in Burnley—when that has all been brought together, and a goodly edifice has been reared, you will show that it has the support of the inhabitants; and the mind that is to be developed within will make the real glory and honour of the building.—(Hear.) I know that, in addressing you in Lancashire, I era among a community which has shown a great and growing interest in the cause of popular education in all its directions. Into tee merits of any particular direc tioe which that interest may assume, this is not the place or the opportunity to enter ; but I feel most glad and triumphant to think that the time has come when the education of the people must spread wide and strike deep, and I have faith that the wisdom and punlic spirit of all classes in this country will be exerted to give that impulse the right direction (Hear, hear.) I feel that there is someting large and expansive in the bodies of men which in this portion of the country are brought together upon occasions like the present. Why, in the very place in which we are assembled—in the very person who laid the first stone of your new building—we have living and patent proof that there is nothing exclusive or repel ling iu the assistance and energy which have been brought to bear upon it; and, as I have referred to mechanics' institutions as comprising in their aim the cathedral towns of Lincoln and the factories of Burn ley, so we have seen to-day that they may unite in their service the oldest and most ancestral modes of faith with the least fettered and the least hierarchical forms.—(Liear, hear.) And from my heart, ladies and gentlemen, I join in the wish which I feel sure animates all who have this day and this night been brought together, which has already found eloquent expression in the mouths of preceding speakers, that the institution of which, amidst so many demonstrations of good will and concord, the first stone has been laid this day, and of which we are now holding this commemora tive assembly, may, in its future development, with re spect to all who may be brought within its walls, or be made partakers of its benefits, never suffer them to im bibe any lesson or influence that is inconsistent with their duties as good citizens, good subjects, good men, good Christians—(Cheers)—that they may within and under its roof find much to instruct, much to amuse, much to refine, but nothing to corrupt, nothing to sully, nothing to sap the wholesome foundation of morals or impair the sacred principles of religion— (Cneers)—but that, while they derive largely, and in ever-increasing measure, opportunities for useful in struction and for rational recreation, they may at the same time be imbibing lessons which shall stimulate and sweeten their daily toil, and make their homes and firesides honest and happy. (The Noble Earl retired amid much cheering.) Several other speeches were delivered ; among the :rest, a short and somewhat humorous one by the Earl .of Sefton, the Lord-Lieutenant of the county, who denounced the gin-shops and gin -bottles, and affirmed :as a fact that no drunkenness ever disgraced Heaton :Park Races, because no gin-booths were ever admitted •within the precincts of the Earl of Wiltou's domain while those sports were kept up there. SOCIETY OF ARTS. Yesterday evening the first meeting of the above Fociety for the session 1851-2 was held in the society's :house, John-street, Adelphi. There was an unusually large attendance of members and their friends, it hay :ing been announced that the first of the series of :lectures on the Great Exhibition, suggested by Prince Albert, would be delivered at the meeting, the sub ,;iect being, " The general bearing of the Exhibition c,n the progress of art and science." Mr. HOPE t 001: th,; chair at eight o'clock, and afzer vv remarks introduced Dr. \VHEWELL, who then proceeded to read a lec f.ure on the above subject. He said that in the obser vations he had to make he should confine himself t:o the reflections which would naturally suggest 'themselves to a mere spectator of the late Great Ex ihibition, one of the millions who had visited it. 'While it was still in existence and daily receiving tome fresh accession to supply deficiencies, or .complete what was imperfect, it would have been as unjust to submit it to criticism, as it would be unfair to pronounce upon the merits of the productions of the poet or the painter, while still in the author's or the artist's hands, undergoing .the finishing touches, and receiving the final correc tions. Now, however, the Exhibitton had closed, ;and the work of the critic would properly com mence. The lectures which would be delivered be fore that society would supply the place of criticism, and dealing in turn with the principal branches of human skill and knowledge, explain the advantages vhich had been made in them through the opportu z p ities afforded by the Exhibition. His own task vas comparatively a light one, as it dealt only with general views. He might truly characterise the !late Exhibition as a great and unexampled opportu inity of taking a survey of the existing state of art :and science in every part of the world. If they could suppose an intelligent spectator to have tra velled from land to land, he would have seen many 'wonderful specimens of the works of man, and by combining his impressions would have obtained a good representation of the progress of human art and industry up to the present moment. But what time, labour, and perseverance would he have re quired—what hardships to undergo—what access to gaLechat and pow er f u l men —i n th e accom pli s h men t o f dpao yvvse, a r h s c u eo r uv i ld e o v u . glaiv A life would scarcely have sufficed, with all the appliances and means which wealth and he.aveLhikaed to the p a h p i e l n o d sop a h ll er h s is ancient y of earain travel, and yet, after all, how far would such a survey fall short of the simultaneous view afforded bj the Exhibition, while at the same time but one in Jividual could profit, even from such an undertaking as they had imagined. Here, at one view, they had pls ,cad before them the choicest producti p o r n o s g o r f es h s human art ; all nations and in all stages o f ba r barism to the highest civilization. From Otaheite, wl lich Englishmen bad long been accustomed to speak of as the general type of rude and savage life, Queen Pi mare had sent specimens of cloths and mats, the w. ,rk of the women of those islands. From Labuan, .a latest specimen of barbarism withwh a i e c n h t theyhad been be come connected, there hadclothes, a re l E a ' 'ions dborddoemriensgtic the confines froofm our the v wild t Ice 'ian empire had come examples of the• rich and varied products found there. Sumatra sent her lacquered work, and less cultivated races sent their warlike weapons and fishing materials. The re was one reflection which suggested itself on view ing these specimens of the industry of nations who stood so low in the scale of civilization. It is, that man is by nature and universally an artificer, an n, and an artist. They called the nations from LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 27, 1861 which such specimens as he had mentioned came, rude and savage ; and yet how much of ingenuity, induction, and practical knowledge of the properties of vegetable textures, did they not exhibit, how much manual dexterity, and that, too, of a very high order, and how much neatness, prettiness, and even beauty, although the work of savage hands ! Even we, while looking down from our lofty summit of civilized skill upon the infancy of art, might learn from it lessons of taste. When they came to the higher specimens of art, the work of nations which had long been in a state of civilization, though in ferior to ourselves in mechanical power, how much was there to admire, and even envy, in the beauty and taste they displayed ! The tissues and ornamental works of Persia and India had beauties which Europe could not surpass. Our superiority over them rested on a very different basis. In those countries art was employed to gratify the wants of a few, while with us it is used to supply the wants of the many. There was another view of the hearing of the Exhibition on art and science less ob vious than those to which he had already referred, but not less important, he meant the results obtained by the classification of the articles exhibited. To those who had not made the attempt, nothing might appear more easy than to classify any collection of different objects, but in truth it was a task surrounded with almost insuperable difficulties. In the various French expositions of art and industry since 1823, every species of classification had successively been employed, and all had been found unsatisfactory, which showed the difficult nature of the task. He thought the plan adopted at the Great Exhibition of this year, though far from being perfect, was yet the best that could, under the circumstances, have been adopted. Dr. Whewell then described, at great length, the system adopted in classifying the object exhibited. Now, the advantage of obtaining a permanent classification of all the objects of men's skill and industry were very great, as it gave the manufacturer, the man of science, the producer, and the artisan, a settled common lan guage in which they might speak of the objects with which they were connected. But it was not only ne cessary that things should have one name, but that they should have a settled form and application. Thus it had been suggested that in wheel work it would be very convenient that all wheels of a certain nature should be toothed exactly in the same way, and, to a great extent, the Exhibition would lead to that result. After some further remarks on the advantage which could not fail to flow from the greatly increased in tercourse between men of skill and knowledge which had been caused by the great gathering of the Ex hibition, the lecturer concluded amid general applause. Mr. DILKE then moved, and Professor FLA:TEAM seconded the thanks of the society to Dr. Whewell for the lecture he had delivered, and the proceedings terminated. AN AMERICAN LAWYER'S FEE.--Daniel Webster is said to have receive five thousand dollars for his argu ment of the great Indian-rubber case, at Iloston.—New York Tribune. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Nov. 26. (Sittings in Bunco.) Tile Judges of this Court held a sitting in Bunco under the County Courts Act, in order to hear ap peals against decisions pronounced in the county courts. BRIDGES V. HAWKESWORTII. This was an appeal against a decision of the Judge of the County Court of Westminster, upon a case which had been tried before him, and in which he had given judgment for the defendant. The appeal was heard at the sittings after last Trinity Term, when it was argued by Mr. Gray (with whom was Mr. Heath) for the plaintiff, and by Mr. Hake for the defendant. The Court had taken time to consider the judgment, which was now delivered by Mr. Justice PATTESON, who said—This was an ap peal against the decision of the Judge of the West minster County Court, in a case which was brought before him under the following circumstances :—The defendant was a stationer, carrying on business as 21, Charing-cross, and the plaintiff entered his shop upon business, and seeing a parcel lying upon the floor, he stooped and picked it up, and observing it to con • twin noes, gave it to defendant's apprentice, who called the defendant, and the plaintiff then told . him what had happened. The defendant said he would take the notes and keep them for the true owner. Thu plaintiff assented. On the following morning the plaintiff called, and, finding that the notes had nor been claimed, a conversation ensued about advertising them. The defendant did advertise them, but no one appeared to claim them. The defendant paid the expenses of the advertisements. The plaintiff after wards called upon the defendant to restore them, and offered to repay the money expended for the adver tisements. The defendant refused to accept this money, and offered plaintiff 21 104. " for his honesty," which was refused. The defendant subsequently offered the plaintiff Si, but refused to give up the notes, saying that he had made himself liable to the true owner, whenever that true owner should appear. The defendant declared that he should send the notes to his banker, and altogether refused to deliver them to the plaintiff, though the plaintiff offered him a satisfactory indemnity against the claims of any per son who demanded them as owner. On these facts the Learned Judge of the County Court held that, neither of the parties having any title as against the true owner, the shopkeeper in whose shop the notes were found had, for the purpose of protection to the true owner, the preferable title as to possession against the actual finder who found it there, and therefore gave judgment for the defendant. We have consi dered this case very attentively, and we think the judgment erroneous. The notes which are the sub ject of this action were evidently dropped by mere accident in the shop of the defendant by the owner of them. The facts do not warrant the supposition that they had been de posited there intentionally, nor has the case been at all put upon that ground. The plaintiff found them on the floor, they being manifestly lost by some one. The general right of the finder to any article which has been lost, as against all the world except the true owners, was established in the case of " Amory v. Delamairie," 1 Str., 505, which has never been dis puted. This right would clearly have accrued to the plaintiff had the notes been picked up by him outside the shop of the defendant ; and if he once had the right, the case finds that he did not intend by deliver ing the notes to the defendant to waive the title, if any, which he had to them, but they were handed to the defendant merely for the purpose of delivering them to the owner should he appear. Nothing that was done afterwards has altered this state of things ; the advertisements inserted in the newspapers, refer ing to the defendant, had the same object. The plaintiff has tendered the Expense of these advertise ments to the defendant, and offered him an indem nity against any claim to be made by the real owner, and has demanded the notes. The case, therefore, resolves itself into the single point on which it appears that the Learned Judge de cided it, namely, whether the circumstance of the notes being found inside the defendant's shop gives him (the defendant) the right to have them as against the plaintiff who found them. There is no authority to be found in our law directly in point. Perhaps the nearest case is that of " Merry v. Green, 7th M. and W., 623," but it differs in many respects from the present. We were referred in the course of the argument to the learned work of Von Savigny, edited by Chief Justice Perry, but even this work, full as it is of subtle distinctions and nice reasonings, does not afford a solution of the present question. It was well asked en the argument, if the defendant has the right, when did it accrue to him ? If at all, it must have been antecedent to the finding by the plaintiff, for that finding could not give the defendant any right. If the notes had been accidentally kicked into the street, and there found by some one passing by, could it be contended that the defendant was entitled to them from the mere fact of their having been origi nally dropped in his shop ? If the discovery had never been communicated to the defendant, could the real owner have had any cause of action against him because they were found in his house ? Certainly not. The notes never were in the custody of the defendant, nor within the protection of his house, before they were found, as they would have been had they been intentionally deposited there, and the defendant has come under no responsibility, except from the communication made to him by the plaintiff, the finder, and the steps taken by way of advertisement. These steps were really taken by the defendant as the agent of the plaintiff, and he has been offered an indemnity, the sufficiency of which is not disputed. We find, therefore, no circumstances in this case to take it out of the general rule of law, that the finder of a lost article is entitled to it as against all persons except the real owner, and we think that that rule must prevail, and that the Learned Judge was mistaken in holding that the place in which they were found makes any legal difference. Our judgment, therefore, is, that the plaintiff is en titled to those notes as against the defendant, that the judgment of the Court below must be reversed, and judgment given for the plaintiff for 551. The plain tiff, of course, will have the costs of appeal. The judgment was at first entered for 551., the amount of the notes actually found, but as the sum to be recovered in the county court could not ex ceed 50/., the judgment was entered for that sum.

Chambers con ducted the def ence . occasioned by the defendant having caused the plaintiff to be arrested upon a charge of felony. • Th e plaintiff Wes a tailor, who had carried on bu siness in Sackville-street, and had resided in St. John's Wood. In May last, beQoming embarrassed in his circumstances, he made an assignment of his proparty to his creditors. Being obliged to give up possession of his house in St. John's Wood, in which a Frenchman, of the name of Noissons, had apart ments, he took unfurnished lodgings in the house of the defendant, who was a dairyman in Albany-street. An agreement was thereupon drawn up between the plaintiff and defendant, the former signing it in the name of Noissons, for the purpose, as he alleged in his evidence, of avoiding the danger of having the furniture iu that house seized upon by his creditors. It appeared that an unfriendly feeling was soon after wards created between the parties in consequence of the plaintiff feeding his dogs in the kitchen, and of alleged irregularity in his hours for returning home at night. The result was, the plaintiff having been locked out on one night at half-past ten o'clock, and having been afterwards given into custody by the de fendant on the charge of obtaining possession of the apartments under:a false or forged name. The plaintiff, who was examined, stated that he had received authority from the Frenchman, through his (the plaintiff's) wife, to use his name, and that he had informed the defendant subsequently to his taking possession of the apartments that he had done so, but that his real name was Samuel Charles Bennett, and that while he occupied the apartments the defendant had always addressed him by his proper name. The plaintiff was taken upon this charge to the station house, and from thence to the police office, where, upon the case being entered into, he was discharged by order of Mr. Broughton, the magistrate. Mr. M. CHAMBERS, who addressed the jury in an able speech for the defendant, denounced the conduct of the plaintiff in assuming another name, and stated that defendant—having made inquiries of Mr. Nois sons, who at that time had bee❑ carrying on business as the patentee of stoves in Regent-street, and having been informed by that gentleman that he gave the plaintiff no authority to assume his name—thought he was warranted in giving him into custody. The Frenchman having since left the country, there was no means of ascertaining the truth upon this point. There were no witnesses called for the defence, And the jury found a verdict for the plaintiff— Damages 101. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Nov. 26. (Sittings before Sir F. POLLOCK, Chief Baron, and Common Juries.) BARBA? V. ALLEN. Mr. Hirelet appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Gifford for the defendant. Mr:lh was an action by the plaintiff,who is a French man, for 28/., the expenses of a journey to Paris in the course of last summer, for the purpose of getting up parties of excursions to visit London and stay at defendant's hotel. The plaintiff not being able to speak English, the negotiations between plaintiff and defendant were carried on by a Colonel Parent, who was now called on the part of the plaintiff, and proved the engagement entered into by the defendant. In cross•examination he described himself as in tendent of an hotel. He had been charged at the Old Bailey with stealing some property ; it was said he had run away with another man's wife, and that he had stolen the things she took with her, but he was immediately acquitted. He was not charged with stealing a pair of breeches. He was never charged with stealing an umbrella. A friend of his took one by mistake, and left an old one in its place. The one taken was afterwards restored to its owner. The broken English and manner of the witness ex cited great merriment throughout the court. The plaintiff having been examined through an in terpreter, and having proved the expenses incurred by him on defendant's business, the counsel for the de fendant addressei the jury, and was about to set up a defence to be substantiated by the evidence of the de fendant's wife, when his Lordship said he should not receive her evidence. The Learned Counsel upon this said it would be useless for him to contend against the plain►tiff's case. The wife having been tendered as a witness, pro forte ,and rejected by his Lordship, the jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff for 271., one pound being deducted by arrangement. and Pargeter. When he got to the house he saw the defendant, and informed him who be was and tha ob ject of his visit. Witness asked him to accompany him to the cellar, and he did so, and they first entered the beer cellar. In the course of his exami nation he found a large quantity of bottles, and amongst them one large bottle containing about a gallon and a quarter of liquid, which he had since ascertained to be a compound of gentian and treacle. Upon being questioned about it the defendant said it contained cherry brandy, and on witness's request be tasted it, and after having done so he said that he could not tell what :it was, but it must have been in the cellar at the time he took the house. He said that he had been in the house for about three years. It did not appear that the bottle had been recently used. Witness then asked defen dant if he had used any of the liquid by mixing it with his beer, and he said that he had not, as he always used foots sugar. In the bar upstairs he also found a bottle of the tincture of capsicum, but the possession of this article was not included in the pre sent charge. The defendant denied having stated in the cellar that he used foots sugar, but afterwards admitted that he used it in consequence of the officer telling him that if he had put anything into the beer he had bet ter acknowledge it, and it would be better for him, as they should be sure to find it out. Mr. Scott said the defendant distinctly told him in the cellar that he put foots sugar into his beer, which he wrote down in the place at the time, and, moreover, he showed him the cask into which he had put it. Mr. Benjamin Elmy said he was in the cellar at the time of the occurrence, and the account given by Mr. Scott was true. • Mr. Commiss:oner STEPHENSON—Whatappear ance had the bottle at the time it was found ? Mr. Elroy said it had the ordinary appearance of the other bottles. The cork was not encrusted and was easily removed. _ _ _ _ _ _ Mr. C. B. Forsy, assistant chemist to the Board of Inland Revenue, said he had received two samples of the mixtures which had been seized on the defendant's premises. One sample consisted of saccharine matter and a bitter substance which he believed to be gen tian. This mixture was commonly used for adul terating beer. The second sample was tincture of capsicum. Mr. Commissioner STEPHENSON (to the defendant) —ls it possible to believe that so bulky a bottle as that (pointing to it) could have been in your cellar for three years without your knowledge ? The de fendant said such was the fact. Mr. Commissioner STEPHENSON—DO you mean to tell the Court that you could have so large a bottle, containing, as you say, cherry brandy, for three years and know nothing about it? The Court gives judgment against you in the penalty of 2il. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. THIIW COURT, (Before the COMMON SERGEANT.) Angelina Adams, alias Mary Ann Burke, aged Is, was indicted for wilful and corrupt perjury. The defendant, a strange, sickly -looking girl, Bp. parently younger than stated, pleaded not guilty. Mr. Bodkin and Mr. Ballantine appeared for the prosecution, which was instigated by the authorities of Hammersmith parish. The CommoN SERGEANT asked if she was defended, and, learning that she was not, directed that she should be, and the Under-Sheriffs requested Mr. Huddle stone to watch the proceedings on her behalf. Mr. BODKIN having stated the case to the jury, called _ _ . . Mr. John William Nicholls, clerk to the magis trates of the Hammersmith Policy-court, who stated that on the 17th of October the prisoner brought to their court by the authorities of the parish, and after Mr. Paynter, the magistrate, had given a private . hearing to the parties, he granted, at the instance of the prisoner, a summons against Mary Joseph, one of the sisters of the Good Shepherd Convent at Hammersmith, for en assault. When the summons came on for hearing, the prisoner having been duly sworn, made a statement in evidence to the following effect :—That she was of the Pro testant faith and had been in service in Liverpool, where some months before she had met a man, a Ca tholic priest ; that he brought her up to London and took her to the convent at Hammersmith, where she had been confined ; that they had tried to make a Catholic of her, and that in consequence of her re fusing, the superiors had cut her hair off as a pu nishment. She most minutely described how it was effected, stating that it was in the month of July ; that two women held her down (there being tour present), whilst sister Joseph cut it off. She had several times requested to be let out, but was kept a close prisoner, and hard escaped on the morning of the 16th by getting through a wall in the garden, where some repairs were going on. Mr. Paynter having heard the case dismissed the complaint against Mary Joseph, and directed the guardians to institute these proceedings. Mary Joseph was next examined, and her ap pearance excited much curiosity in court. She was attired in a black cloak and bonnet, covered with a thick black crape veil, and a close white cap setting closely to the face. She stated herself to be portress to the Good Shepherd Convent, Hammer smith, which is an institution for the reception of penitent women who have led a loose life. On the 15th of October the prisoner came there with a letter from the Rev. Dr. Connelly, of Moorfields. She gave the name of Angelina Adams. She stayed there that night, but was sent away the next day for deceit, having denied that she had been there before, though recognised by one of the penitents as having been there for some months during the year 1848. Prisoner is a Catholic. Protestants are admitted. Her hair had not been cut off there ; I have nothing to do with that part. Cross-examined—We have no other than Catholic worship within the convent, ,and all who are in there have to attend. Mrs. Maria Gibson, of Upper Seymour-street, a widow, said that she met prisoner at the Catholic Cha pel in Upper Rosoman-street, Clerkenwell. That was in February last. She was wretchedly destitute, and witness took her home to live with her, and kept her for some time. She was suffering from a scrofu lous disease and weakness. After keeping her some time, witness not liking her ways, prisoner left her, and she next saw her in July: she was at her door step in a dreadful state of illness and want ; all her hair had been cut off, which she said had been done at the workhouse when she had the fever. Witness took her to the Free Hospital, Gray's Inn-lane, and then she went to the Charing-cross Hospital, from whence she discharged herself, and witness saw nothing more of her until she was in custody on this charge. By Mr. HUDDLESTONE—I do not think her mind was affected, but she seemed dreadfully depressed at her poverty when I first saw her, and I thought she would commit suicide. She is very much to be pitied. She has not a friend, and her sufferings are very greet. Sister Ellen, another nun, habited the same as sister Joseph, deposed to letting the prisoner out of the convent on the morning of the 16th of October. Mr. Charles Hibberd, overseer of St. Pancras, proved the prisoner to have been admitted to the house on the 27th of March last. She left on the 11th of July. Mr. Waldegrave, the parish surgeon, said her hair was cut off by his direction. Being suffering from fever, she was quite unconscious at the time. She suffered from scrofulous swellings in the abdomen, and was in a very bad state. Julia Smith, nurse at the workhouse, said that she supported her in bed whilst her hair was cut off, which was done by the barber. It further appeared that on the 11th of August she went to the Free Hospital, Gray's Inn-lane, where she left of her own accord on the 29th of August, and on the next day went to Charing-cross Hospital, where she was at once taken in, her case being deemed so urgent. She left there on the 30th of September, against the wishes of the medical autho rities. The Rev. Mr. Conelly, of the Catholic Church, Moorfields, said that on the afternoon of the sth o f October his attention was called to th e prisoner, who was in the body of the church. She seemed very ill and distressed, and in answer to his questions said she had never been in any place o f w o rship; that she had been an orphan from two years of age ; that sh e was a prostitute, and had been from thirteen years of age, a life she wished to leave and added, that she was then residing at a brothel in Half Moon -street. She seeming sincerely penitent, he gave her some money to get a lodging. Not knowing that she bad been at Long, another th e Hammersmith Convent he communicated w ith th e superior, and gave her the letter that procured her th e admission.

He ultimately got her into the Good Shepherd Convent. That was in 1848. After some further evidence, Mr. HUD DLESTONE addressed the jury f o r th e de fence, and i n a very eloquent speech dwelt at great length upon the wretched condition of the prisoner, whose statement, he c on t en d e d, h a d not b een ma d e with any wilfully corrupt intent, but under the in fluence of great mental as well as bodily suffering, and concluded by saying that he felt sure that after what had transpired, not the slightest stain would be attached to the ladies of this most humane and bene volent institution. The jury, after a few minutes' deliberation, Aco quitted her. Burni , ' Scigc.aLt. LO ask on what ground. The COMMON SERGEANT said he could not do that. Mr. BODKIN wished to know' 'if they thought her nsane. Several of the jury said no. The case seemed to excite greet interest. POLICE INTELL I GENCE. MANSION-HOr7S.E. Albert Kionsburg, who was E ome days ago ex amined upon the charge of ha ving obtained under fraudulent pretences a diamond 1 )racelet from Messrs. Lachmann, of William-street, Dublin, jewellers, was brought up for final examination, upon the applica tion of one of the firm to send him to that city, by virtue of a warrant issued by a magistrate there. Mr. Yates appeared for the prosecution ; Mr. Lewis for the defence, which was "mistaken identity." Robert Navin, an officer of the Dublin metropolitan police, said—l produce a warrant, signed "W. Tin dell," a magistrate of Dublin, for the apprehension of Adolph Kielman for obtaining a diamond bracelet under false pretences. I have no knowledge of him, but I believe there are witnesses as to his identity, and that the prisoner is the person. Here Mr. Goodman, the chief clerk, read over the evidence of Mr. J. E. Lachmann, one of the partners in the Dublin firm. It stated that the witness had seen the prisoner at the house in William-street as Dr. Kielman, from which circumstance, connected with the fact that the witness had received a letter from his brother upon the subject of the fraud, it was presumed that Albert Kionsburg was Dr. Adolph Kielman. A gentleman of commercial respectability had, it appeared, called at the Mansion-house after the pri soner had been remanded on the former day, and offered bail to any amount for his appearance, from the firm conviction of the innocence of the accused, who had positively denied that he knew anything at all about the matter. Mr. Lachmann, cross-examined by Mr. Lewis, said—l was present when the primer called upon my brother as Doctor Kielman, and my brother sub sequently acquainted me with the fact, that Doctor Kielman had defrauded him of the article. Mr. Yates said he could carry the case further by further examination of the prosecutor. Mr. Lachmann—l saw the prisoner in London on Thursday evening, and asked him if he knew me. He stuttered for an instant, and gave no answer. I then said, " You do know me ; you have robbed my brother ; you stole a diamond bracelet from him, and committed forgery upon a friend of mine of the name of Harris." He then said, in German, to me, " For God's sake do not bring me into many trouble." I said, " I have no alternative ; I must give you in charge." He said then that he was in the greatest distress, that he had no money or property of any kind except the gold chain round his neck, which was belonging to Mr. Harris. I told the waiter to fetch a policeman. Mr. Yates—ln what language did he make these observations to you ? Witness—ln German. I told him to speak in English, which he understands per fectly, in order that those present might understand him, but he did not. This took place at a house at the corner of the Royal Exchange. Mr. Lewis—Why did you not make use of this statement before ? Witness—Because I thought that what I had stated before was quite sufficient. Mr. Yates submitted that enough had been shown to justify the magistrate in giving up the prisoner to the officer. Mr. Lewis called the attention of the alderman to the stringent nature of the A ct, to support a charge under which it was but reasonable that the testimony should be therefore very clear and distinct. He con tended that the identity of the prisoner with the Doc tor Kielman accused of the fraud was by no means satisfactory, and he supposed the case of a person personating Doctor Kielman in Dublin, and obtaining the bracelet upon that misrepresentation. He asked, too, what sort of satisfaction the prisoner was to ex pect if, upon being taken to Dublin, it was admitted that he was not Doctor Kielman ? Alderman Wxaa said that all he had to do in the case was to see that the warrant was a genuine document, and that the prisoner was the person who was believed to be meant in it as chargeable with an indictable offence. As for the doubt which Mr. Lewis seemed to entertain on the subject of retri bution, should the identity happen to be defective, a court of law in either country would soon settle that business. The prisoner then, against the advice of his solici tor, began to remark , and in very good English, upon what he considered to be the inconsistency of the statements of the principal witness, but his appeal to the alderman strengthened the case against him, and he was handed over to the Dublin officer. A young Irish labourer, named John Barry, was charged before the Lord Mayor with having robbed and assaulted Johanna Healey, a countrywoman of his, in Sevenstep-alley, Houndaditch. The statement of the prosecutrix was interrupted by bursts of laughter from a crowd of her dissolute neighbours, who appeared in the justice-room. The LORD MAYOR—Complainant, are you a married woman ? Complainant (after a little hesitation) — Well, I am, I believe. lt's two years ago since I saw my first husband. The LORD MAYOR—Is he dead ? Complainant— No, your Lordship, not that I know. The LORD MAYOR—Have you got any family by him ? Complainant—Every one of nine children. The LORD MAYOR—And what do you know of the prisoner at the bar. Is he your second husband? Complainant—No, your Lordship; but he has been making a fool of me. She then detailed the following facts :—The prisoner had been courting her about three weeks, and as her husband had gone away without giving her notice, she thought she might as well have his place supplied, so she listened to the man who proposed to be his successor, and they went together off to a priest's house, over the water, to get the business done. When they knocked at the door the priest wasn't at home, and they both returned to her house in Sevenstep-alley, ' after getting leave from the priest's servant, and slept together that night. Next morning, after breakfast, she began to reckon the money she had in h er purse , amounting to half a sovereign and some silver, with which she intended to purchase a basket of fruit, but the moment she laid it upon the table up the prisoner whipped the gold, said he was entitled as her husband to all her property, and away he went to buy a new pair of breeches, leaving her with the miserable re mains of her last month's earnings for the support of ' her family. Finding that he was a common deceiver she determined to quit his acquaintance altogether; but on Tuesday night he walked into her bedroom in his new breeches, and wanted to take up his quarters in the place, to which hi s reverence ' s servant told him he had a claim as her intended husband. She virtu ously refused to acknowledge him any more, and in sisted upon his speedy departure from her chamber, whereupon he beat her violently about the head, and was apprehended by the police. The LORD MAYOR (to the complainant)—Have you any witnesses. Complainant—yes, your wor ship ; my daughter was witness to everything that happened between us, Margaret Healey, who appeared to be about 18 years old, said, I am her daughter, and saw th pri soner come in and give my mother ever so much im pudence ; my mother got up, and said she would have • no more of it, and then he gave her three whacks across the mouth, and set her in a pool of blood ; and he told her he'd have her life. The prisoner —Your Lordship, she followed me everywhere, and bothered me so, that I was obliged to become her husband for a time ; and then she ' wanted to have it all her own way, and she hit me with her brogue ; so I thought it best to give her a clout or two. The prisoner was fined 20s. for the assault, and not being able to pay the fine was sent to prison for 21 days. BOW-STREET. Benjamin Davis, a well-dressed young man, who has been repeatedly convicted of thieving, was charged with stealing a brace of pistols from the chambers of a gentleman in Duke-street, Adelphi. The prisoner called at seven o'clock in the evening, and seeing a little girl who had the care of the cham bers, represented himself to her as a friend of her master's, with whom he had made an appointment at the chambers. She said that her master was out, upon which the prisoner entered the rooms, and told her that he would wait for him. After remaining fo r a few minutes he walked out again, in a suspicious manner, and told her that be would call another time ; and on the following morning it was discovered that a case, containing a brace of pistols, had been stolen. Mr. Kinnaird, a civil engineer, who occupied the chambers, deposed to having missed the pistols, which were worth 10/. ; and Sergeant West, of the F division, identified the prisoner as a notorious thief, who had usually effected his robberies by pretending to offer newspapers for sale at gentlemen's chambers. The prisoner , who offered no defence, was reman d e d. William Poole, a lad of 13, who had been employed at the Oriental Club-house as an errand- boy, was charged on suspicion of stealing a letter containing two bills of exchange for 6001., and his father was charged with receiving the same. The letter had been taken from a letter-box in the hall of the club. The case was remanded for further inquiry, the elder prisoner being liberated on bail. EXTRAORDINARY EWE SHEEP.—There is DOW exhibiting in the shop of Mr. Ilaxeltine, butcher, of Dud ley, a most extraordinary fine sheep of the Cotswold or long wool breed.

Age, four yearn... Worcester Chronicle, MUCK V. GOMPERTZ. This wns an action on a guarantee entered into by the defendant, that two bills of exchange ' accepted by Mr. M. J. O'Connell, should be duly paid when due. Mr. Welsby, Mr. Hawkins, and Mr. Pearce ap peared for the plaintiff; Mr. Knowles was counsel for the defendant. . _ The plaintiff stated that, in March last, the de fendant requested him to sell some wins to a friend of his, Mr. M. J. O'Connell. Plaintiff agreed to do this if defendant would guarantee the payment, and ac cordingly the defendant gave him the following un dertaking :—" In consideration of your handing me two drafts on Mr. M. J. O'Connell for 2001. and 1501. respectively, I undertake to get them accepted and to see them paid." The bills were accepted, but not paid by Mr. O'Connell. Mr. KNOWLES objected that the document did not disclose the whole consideration, and was, therefore, invalid u❑der the Statute of Frauds. His LORDSHIP having overruled the objection, The COUNSEL for the defendant submitted to a ver. diet for the full amount claimed. EXCHEQUER CHAMBER, Nov. 26. (Errors from the Court of Queen's Bench, before Mr. Baron PA.RILE, Mr. Baron ALDERSON, Mr. Justice CRESSWELL, Mr. Baron PLATT, Mr. Justice WIL LIAMS, Mr. Justice TALFOURD, and Mr. Baron MARTIN.) HENDERSON V. EASON. The question in this case was whether, where one tenant in common, who has had the sole enjoyment of the land, farmed it, and taken the produce, can be sued in en action of account by his co-tenant, under the statute 4 Anne, c. 16, s. 27, although it may be uncer tain whether the occupying party has received any surplus profit. The case was argued in the sittings in error after Hilary term last. Mr. Baron PARK: now delivered the judgment of the Court, and said the declaration alleged that Ed ward Eason since dead, and whose executor Hender son the plaintiff in error is, and Robert Eason, were tenants in common of certain lands and hereditaments from November, 1833, to November, 1839, and that the said Edward Eason in his lifetime had the care and management of the whole of said mes suages, lands, and hereditaments, to receive and take the rents, issues, and profits thereof, to the common profit of Robert Eason and Edward Eason, deceased, and as bailiff of Robert Eason, of what he received more than his just share and proportion thereof, to render a reasonable account thereof, and his said share thereof when he should be required so to do, according to the form of the statute, dec. There was an averment that Edward Eason, deceased had in his lifetime received more than his own just share, to the amount of 2,000/., and that he did not render a reasonable account thereof. And that since his death Henderson, the executor, the plaintiff in error, had not accounted. To this declaration there were two pleas-Ist, denying that Ed ward Eason in his lifetime had the care, &c., as bailiff, to render a reasonable account thereof; 2d, denying that Edward Eason received more than his due share, upon which issue was joined. It appeared that the tenements and lands consisted of a farm, and that Edward Eason, de ceased, was in the sole occupation and possession, and cultivated end farmed the land, and appropriated the whole of the profits to his own use. During the whole time, the lands never were let to, or in the possession of, any tenant paying rent, nor did he re ceive any rent, issues, or profits other than the pro fits and produce derived from the culture of the land. The trial was had before Mr. Justice Coleridge, and the question now arises upon his ruling to the jury. There is no doubt as to the law before the statute of Anne. Now, if one tenant in common occupies the whole, there is no remedy unless he is bailiff to his co-tenant in common. The declaration is framed upon the statute. Now, under the statute, he is bailiff only, as having received more than his share, as is explained by Chief Justice Willes, in Wheeler v. Horne, in Willes' Reports, p. 209. In the Act of Anne the receipt of issues and profits is not mentioned, but only the receipt of more than comes to his just share, that is, more than his just share within the statute. The statute includes all the rent received for both, and where one receives the whole or more than his share, he becomes bailiff for the other as to that excess. But it is difficult to extend the statute beyond that. Thus, if two are tenants in common of a room, and it is solely occu pied by one, and nothing is received, it would be hard that the mere occupation is to be accounted for, and that is not within the statute as was decided by Lord Cottenham. Again, if one tenant in common occupies, and expends money upon a farm, and it comes to more than a fair rent, as if he cultivates hops, and he takes the whole of the crops, he could not be called upon by his co-tenants for an account of his profit and losses. The risk is his own, and in taking all the produce he cannot be said to be taking more than his just share, for he only receives a return for his capital and labour. Upon the whole, therefore, we think that the direction of the Learned Judge, on the second plea, was wrong, and that there must be a venire de novo. COURT OF INLAND REVENUE, Nov. 26. (Before 11. F. STEPHENSON, Esq., C. J. HERRIES, Esq., and A. MONTGOMERY, Esq.)
