ELEMENTARY DRA WING AND MODELLING SCHOOLS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. 511,—1 am instructed by the Council of the So ciety of Arts to forward you the inclosed notices lately issued by them on the subject of the education of the lower classes in drawing and modelling. The increas mg anxiety shown by the public for the success of the Important movement of which this forms a part war rants my hope that you will take some notice of it in your journal. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, GEORGE GROVE, Sec. Adelphi, London, Oct. 6, 1851. " The Council of the Society of Arts have proposed, for some time past, that the aid and influence of the society should be directed to promote the establish ment of elementary drawing and modelling schools, chiefly for artisans ; but the preparations for the Great Exhibition, which absorbed the energies of those who were most likely to be interested in advancing that object, induced the council to pause in pressing for ward the proposal until the Exhibition should be drawing to a close. This period has now arrived, and the council return to the subject. " The Exhibition has proved that the council did not overrate the importance of their proposal; and itself has materially s t re ngthened a growing convic tion that one of the most serious disadvantages under which ornamental British manufact ures are produced, is the want of artistic knowledge a n d exe cutive ability on part o f the artisans engaged in pro ducing them. Every one competent to judge admits that the ornamental productions of the F renc h ex hibit much more ability, on the part of the French workman, in drawing, modelling, ch as i ng , &c., th an our own. The council believe that a radical cure for many imperfections of British manufactures will be found in a mach more enlarged and liberal system of art-education th an a t presen t ex i s t s — an e d u cation which shall make the power of drawing at least as easy to be a cqu i re d as t h a t o f wr iti ng , an d s hall begin at an early period of life. The council are convinced that ther e i s h ar dly an y handicraft in winch a workman can be engaged, as a carpenter, mason, smith, tailor, &c., which would not be greatly Improved by an ability to perceive the form of objects correctly, and represent it with precision. " The Council are strongly impressed with the be li▪ ef that our young artisans desire to obtain a know ledge of dra w i ng , an d th e y a r e aw are o f the difficul ti▪ es which at present impede the acquirement of this knowledge by them. ``. The council do not limit their appreciation of the advantages of drawing and modelling solely to those improved facilities in manufacture which they unques tionably afford to artisans ; but trust that these useful arts will be found to occupy the young in pursu its tending in every way to their improvement, and to provide them with wholesome sources .of instruction and enjoyment. " Looking to the comparatively slow progress which has been made in establishing the Government schools of design, the majority of which have been oftentimes officially reported to be mere ' drawing schools.' the council consider that it is not ex pedient to wait longer in the hope that Govern ment may extend schools of design, but that the establishment of drawing and modelling schools can be :nest successfully accomplished by the public themselves, through their own conviction of the importance of them. It is the opinion of the council that the schools of design can never pro perty fulfil their original purpose until it is made a necessary condition of entr ance t o th em , th a t th e student has already acquired the power of drawing and modelling. The council consider that one means of rendering schools of design effective, is to cause elementary drawing and modelling schools to be ge nerally established ; and they will endeavour to show how they consider that the public may themselves establjsh, support, and manage these schools. "The principles on which the schools of design are supported are, partly by a government grant, partly by students' fees, and partly voluntary sub scriptions. Under this system, most of the schools of design are in debt, and the progress of them is rendered doubtful and disheartening. As some time must elapse before it can reasonably be hoped that elementary drawing and modelling schools can be altogether self-supporting, some assistance will be required temporarily, at least, in the provision of suitable house accommodation. Having the experience of the present state of the schools of design before them, the council venture to advise those localities which desire to possess the advantage of ele mentary schools, not to rely on subscriptions as any permanent source of income, but rather to ob tain power from the legislature of raising a moderate rate, and to reject the system of convassing for sub sees peeseee, or Vero oz.pc.skokiesr.a. nhtailling An ads quate endowment. It may be estimated that a very moderate rate indeed, not exceeding a penny in the pound on the rental in the majority of instances, would enable many hundreds of localities to have the benefit of an elementary school. But as some time must necessarily elapse before the requisite powers can be obtained from Parliament to levy a rate, the council recommend that the school be esta. blis bed in , the meantime by means of subscriptions and donations, aided by fees from the students, which, at the beginning, ought not to exceed a penny for each time of entering the school to receive a lesson. " building required for such schools should be aeledted rather for the suitability of its position than for any architectural features, or other advantages not beawing upon its actual use. .Artisans generally hesi tate from connecting themselves with, or sending their children to, institutions in which the accommo dation provided appears to be of too elevated a sort, awarding to their notions. The more unpretending the arrangements, so that convenience is pro perly insured, the better, both for economy and the real purpose of the schools. " As soon as a locality shall have signified its de sire to establish an elementary drawing and modelling school, the council will be prepared to afford the co operittion of the society upon the following con ditiol a a : " That such schools shall be called by the names of the localities in which they are established---' The Drawing and Modelling School in connexion with the ;Society of Arts. " 11. That localities, whether represented by cor porate, or parochial authorities, or by a committee, shall engage to provide, keep clean, warm, and light a suitable room, and fittings for the use of the school; and also to guarantee a sufficient sum, arising either fromfrates, subscription?, donations, and students' fees, for the support of the school. "11. That each locality shall appoint a committee of management, which shall include some of the mem bers or the Society of Arts (not less than three) re siding in the neighbourhood. That this committee shall adopt the general rules framed by the society for the government of their affi;iated schools. "V. That the committee shall be responsible for the custody and safe return of the property of the society which is lent for the use of the school. "VI. That the committee shall appoint a secretary and treasurer, who shall keep minutes and accounts ; and that the committee shall annually make a re port to the council of the society of the state and pro gress of the school. "Uponacornpliance with these conditions, the members of the society engage to render every sup port a n d f ac ili ty in their power, and to use their in fluence to insure the success of the schools established. They prop ose _ 1. To prepare a concise code of general rules, which shall form a useful manual of management and instruction. "2. To recomme n d a suitable trained instructor. "3. To assist in the provision and loan, until the school is self-supporting, of bul - sufficient totabl3 drawings, mo dels, and examples , use f u l exhibition ; and, occasionally , bein themselves a of books of referEnce. "4. To recommend a rotatkin of visi cr k s well qualified to superintend the course of instruction and the eon-duct of the school. "6. To give, at their annual distribution, by the hand of their president, medals and rewards to those students who have distinguished themselves by ability and good conduct.

At the bench of magistrates at St. Ives, on Monday (yesterday), John Titman, of Yoxley, and James Stokes, of Ramsey, were brought up charged with participation in the late burglary on, the premises of Mr. Fairley, with shooting at the said Mr. Fairley with intent, &c., and carrying off a quantity of plate, two watches, sundry wearing apparel, and other articles, his property. The magistrates present were T. S. Fryer, Esq., chairman ; the Earl of Sandwich, Revs. J. Linton and Geo. Johnson, and R. H. Hussey and G. Ansley, Esqs. Evidence having been adduced in substance similar to the facts which have already appeared in our paper, P. C. Benson produced a confession made by Stokes on Sunday, October 26, and written down by him self. Stokes said, " This is a rum mess to get into," and witness then told him that if he had anything to say he should take it down in writing, and produce it to the magistrates. The statement to which Stokes had attached his mark was read. It was to the effect that he and Titman went together to Peterborough to look for work, but could get none, and left to go to Yoxley and Wood Walton. A man named Hall and another joined them at Peterborough, and accompanied them to Ramsey. When they were near Mr.Fairley's, Hall proposed to go and rob it, but he (Stokes) refused, saying he should go home ; upon that, Hall and the other seized him and presenting pistols at his head swore they would shoot him if he did not go, for he meant telling. When at Fairley's they made him hold a pistol as though he would shoot Fairley, but it was not loaded. They took his gun and fired it off in the house. The reason he had his gun with him was, that he expected to go to a pigeon match. They made him hold up the latch while Hall and his companion burst the door. He did not think they meant to shoot Fairley, but only to frighten him and make him come down so that they might go up in search of some money. The prisoners said nothing in their defence, and were fully committed for trial at the assizes. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. APPOINTMENTS AND PROMOTIONS. Assistant Surgeons—JamesiM'Clymont, Birken• head ; D.

DEVONPORT, Nov. 2.—The Sans Pareil, new steam-screw ship, will be ready to be undocked about the 22d of this month, provided the contractors de liver her machinery in time. The engines manufactured for the Vulcan, which have been exhibited in the Great Exhibition, are or dered to be forwarded to this yard, where they are to be reserved for the James Watt, a new steamer build - ing at Pembroke to carry 90 guns. They are of 700 horse power. The Lords of the Admiralty have been pleased to grant a pension of 171. per annum to the widow of a shipwright named Elliott, who met his death from a blow in the bead while in the execution of his duty. The poor fellow omitted on the receipt of the injury to report it to the sur geon of the yard, accordirg to the regulations of the service, and his widow, in consequence, had forfeited ail claim to the pension ; but the evidence of the me dical man at the coroner's inquest held after his de cease was so clear that his death bad been caused by apoplexy, the result of the injury in the head above alluded to, that their Lordships have kindly overlooked the breach of the regulations, and conferred the usual pension. The case is, however, to be considered a special one, and not to be taken as a precedent. Rosamond was taken out of dock on Friday even ing, when the Tortoise, lighter, was taken in.

The following correspondence between the Earl of Clancarty and Lord John Russell, appears in the Galway Vindicator of Saturday : " (iarbally, Oct. 9, 1851. " My Lord,—As chairman of a public meeting of guardians of the poor, from the several poor-law unions of the province of Connaught, held at Ballina sloe on the 7th instant, with reference to the repay ment of advances made by the Treasury during the famine, I have the honour of transmitting to your Lordship a memorial upon the subject, together with the resolutions upon which it was founded, and which were unanimously assented to. " Your Lordship will, I trust, pardon me if I take this opportunity of remarking to you that the addi tional burden which the Consolidated Annuities Act, if enforced, will throw upon the poor-rates for the next forty years, will probably have the effect of disfranchising many ratepayers who, under the re cent Act for altering the qualification of Parliamentary voters, have acquired a right to vote, as, apart from unwillingness to pay what is considered an unjust exaction, the poor-rates in some districts will be so much enhanced by the annuity, that many will be unable to make the payment of the rate which is the condition of the franchise. " Your Lordship, I am sure, cannot wish that the Irish constituency should be narrowed, or that the most heavily taxed districts should, through the very excess of taxation, be unrepresented in Parliament. Neither can it be desirable that those who, by pay ment of rates imposed upon them, acquire the right of voting, should elect their representatives under the influence of a feeling that wrong has been done to them at the hands of the Government. " These considerations, I think, warrant me in ex pressing to your Lordship an earnest request that the rates designed for the relief of the poor may not be impounded to reimburse to the Treasury the advances made during the famine until after a full inquiry, as prayed for in the accompanying memorial, before Committees of the two Houses of Parliament " I have the honour to be, &c., CLANCAETT.

As I feared a simple acknowledgment of your letter might be complained of, as it has been in other cases, I have waited en the Government could make a decision on the subject.

COURT OF CHANCERY, Nov. 3. ZULUETA V. YINENT. This appeal motion was partly opened in the be ginning of August, and stood open by consent. The bill was filed to restrain an action at law, com menced by the defendant Vinent for the recovery of the proceeds of a cargo of copper ore consigned by him to the plaintiff. The Master of the Rolls refused the injunction, and the motion was now renewed be fore hit Lordship. Mr. LLOYD, on the part of the plaintiff, continued his argument until half-past two o'clock, when his Lordship rose to attend a Cabinet Council. The Court sits to-morrow at Lincoln's-inn, and will continue to do so until after the meeting of Par liament. COURT OF APPEAL IN CHANCERY, Nov. 3. The Lord Justices, Sir J. K. Bruce and Lord Cranworth sat to-day in the court formerly occupied by the Vice-Chancellor of England, and heard appeal motions. THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. THE CORPORATION OP NORWICH. This was an information against the corporation filed for an injunction to restrain them from applying the funds of the borough to defray the expenses of an Act of Parliament, which the corporation propose to obtain, in order that they may deepen, widen, and improve that part of their river which flows between Norwich and Yarmouth. The relators allege that the corporation have have no power to devote the borough funds to such a purpose unless there is a surplus, and the corporation contend, in answer, that the improve ment they contemplate is within the scope and meaning of the 92d section of the Municipal Corporation Act, and for the benefit of the ratepayers, and the ultimate diminution of the rates. The Vice-Chancellor Shad well, before whom the matter was heard, granted the injunction, and the corporation now moved to dis charge the order, which, as they contend, is an im pediment to a great public improvement. Mr. Stuart, Mr. Lee, and Mr. Brooksbank are for the appeal ; Mr. Walker and Mr. Rogers contra. Mr. STUART was heard until half-past three. The Lord Justice K. BRUCE, at that hour, thought the Court had better adjourn, unless Mr. Stuart felt an anxiety to conclude his argument. Mr. STUART readily accepted his Lordship's pro posal to adjourn, but suggested that the adjournment should be until some time a little later than ordinary. Their Lordships were, it was understood, to sit in the new hall of Lincoln's-inn, but the notice had been so short that it was feared the arrangements could not be completed by ten o'clock on Tuesday morning. The Lord Justice BRUCE observed that the judges must look on Mr. Stuart, from his connexion with the inn, as being in some measure their host, and therefore under his directions. Mr. STUART so far accepted the honour as to sug gest that it would be convenient if their Lordships sat at eleven o'clock to-morrow (Tuesday) morning, instead of ten. The LORD JUSTICE had the assent of his brother Lord Cranworth in saying that there could be no oljection to that arrangement. His Lordship added, that it must be also understood that the court would not sit for the present after three o'clock. Mr. STUART hoped the appeal motion would take precedence of other business to. morrow. Lord Justice BRUCE, after consulting with Lord Cranworth, said their Lordships conceived it better to hear the motion to a conclusion, but they were of opinion that the Court ought then to proceed with the business set down on the paper of the day. Their Lordships then rose. The eleven Queen's Counsel named in our report elsewhere took their places within the bar at the sit ting of the Court. The separate sittings of the Lords Justices took the profession somewhat by surprise, as there was a very general impression that the L ,, gislature intended to form one effective court of appeal, composed of the Lord Chancellor and his two subordinates. The reason given for the separate sittings is, that the Lord Chancellor wishes to reduce the very heavy arrear of appeals as much as possible before his time is de manded for the hearing of appeals in the House of Lords. The object, whatever might be its effect, is no doubt most desirable, and within the powers given him by the Act of Parliament. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, Nov. 3. (Before Vice-Chancellor Sir J. PARKER.) The newly-appointed Vice. Chancellor took his seat in a court temporarily fitted up in one of the committee-rooms opposite Henry Vll.'s Chapel. A large concourse of spectators, professional and others, were assembled to witness the ceremony. His Honour was attended by Master Blunt, who, after shaking hands with the new Vice-Chancellor and bowing, re- ATTORNET-GENEIIAL V. CROFT.-TIIE PABISII cutincn OF YRAMPTON-ON-SEVERN, GLOUCESTERSHIRE. Mr. HA.LLETT applied that this case might be ap pointed for some day next week, to be spoken to on further directions, the minutes having been agreed to in June last. The scheme had been prepared and ap proved of, by which legacies had been appropriated to the purchase of communion plate, of a damask cloth for the communion -table, and for railing in the church. His HONOUR ordered the case to be mentioned again on Wednesday next. (Before Vice-Chancellor KINDERSLEY.) His Honour Vice-Chancellor Kindersley took his seat in the court of the late Vice• Chancellor Lord Cranworth. His HONOUR disposed of several unopposed mo tions ; but owing to the lateness of the hour at which the court was opened, no case of any insportanee WAS mentioned. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Nov. 3. (Sittings in Banco.) THE QUEEN, ON THE PROSECUTION OF THE . EARL OF LONSDALE V. STEILL. Sir F. MERGER moved for a rule to show cause why a criminal information should not be filed against the defendant, the sole proprietor, printer, and publisher of the Carlisle Journal, for a libel pub lished by him in that paper upon the Earl of Lons dale. The libel appeared on the 15th of August last, and when the facts came to be detailed he thought it would be difficult to say which was most to be won dered at—the utter perversion of fact, the excessive daring, or the scandalous malignity displayed in the article. Lord Lonsdale had been at various times in offices of the highest importance in the State, and bad therefore been exposed, as all public men in this country necessarily were, to very severe animadver sions in the newspapers. He felt, however, that he had only been so exposed, and that it was very im portant that their conduct should be strictly can vassed, and that the observations on it should be made with the utmost liberty by the public press. He, therefore, never attempted to re strain that liberty by any appeal to the protection of the law, nor would het on the present occasion have acted otherwise, or have done anything but disregard the low scurrilous abuse which ran through this article, if it had not likewise contained a most daring attack on his integrity as lord-lieutenant of the county in which he resided, and charged him with an abuse of the trust which had been delegated to him by his Sovereign, and with corrupting the source of the administration of justice. The occasion which had given rise to this libel hardly seemed equal to the serious consequences which had resulted from it. The libel arose from circumstances connected with the Whitehaven workhouse. The guardians of that parish rented that workhouse, which was situated in what was called the Preston Quarter, from Lord Lonsdale. The property, in question had been converted to the purposes of a workhouse during the time of the late Lord Lonsdale, for which pur poses many alterations had been made in the original building, and a rent of 851. was reserved and paid, a sum which did not amount to more than 5 per cent. on the original and the additional outlay. The ques tion of enlarging or rebuilding the workhouse had been under the consideration of the guardians since 1842, and in the beginning of 1850 there was a meet ing of the guardians, and a committee was appointed to take these different matters into consideration. That committee was instructed to negotiate with the lord-lieutenant for the purchase of the house. Lord Lonsdale's interest in the house was but trifling, for the property in the house was vested in trustees, and he himself had but a life interest in it. His pecuniary interest, therefore was but small. When the proposal for the purchase was made, Lord Lonsdale, on the advice of his agent, asked for a sum equivalent to thirty years purchase on the rent of 851., and he asked a sum of 4001. for an additional piece of land. It was perfectly immaterial for the present purpose whether the price so demanded was exorbitant or moderate ; but upon this point it might be mentioned that in the January preceding, Lord Lonsdale, acting on the ad vice of the same agent, had purchased property im mediately adjoining the spot in question at a higher rate than he had thus demanded for his property. The guardians at a meeting held in November, 1850, suhnoaunlidinnooutslbyeraecscoelvpetdedt,bsaotthLaotrdh is L L on o s r d d a s l h e' ip s p b r e o l i p e o v s e a d l that the whole affair of the purchase was at an end, and he thought nothing more of the matter until the 14th of March, 1851, when he received a le tter from a pers on name d Fox, who represented himself as ak and do acting anda f dt o i r tsiu t o he board nma h eol land. nrd. wouldof i guardians,aokrde forL orequestingnt2hdea Lonsdale, odesiringrk housteo to meet the wishes of the vestry, directed that a smaller sum than before should be asked as the price. In order to complete this part of the history of the case, it might be mentioned that on the 27th of March, 1851, the guardians entered into a negotiation for the purchase of another piece of land at Woodend, and the two negotiations were going W w as uo p o o n se to d ge i t n he t r i:e v O e n s try the thatlst o t f h e May, pro p l e B r s ty l , : t t should be purchased; but an amendment was carried I to the effect that negotiations should be entered into with Lord Lonsdale, to ascertain how, and on what terms, the possession of the property at Preston Quarter could be obtained. It was now necessary to turn to other matters which were important, as bear ing on the libel of which Lord Lonsdale complained. Lord Lansdale received from the Rev. Mr. Senhouse a letter, on the 12th of December, 1860, in which that gentleman represented that since the Rev. Mr. Featherstone had quitted Maryport, no petty sessions could be held, in consequence of there being no two magistrates in that neighbourhood, and the present incumbent having declined to become a magistrate, the writer was induced to mention Mr. Lawson, the eldest son of Sir Wilfred Lawson, as a gentleman in every way qualified to be put in the commission. On the 15th December Lord Lonsdale wrote an answer to this letter, in which he ob s er ve d th a t it was no t usual to ask for the commission for a county to be opened in order that one name might be inserted in it, and that in truth there was a necessity for creating several more magistrates, and he therefore asked Mr. Senhouse, as he had asked several other gentlemen, to mention to him the names of different persons whom he believed to be properly qualified to act as justices of the peace for the county. Lord Lonsdale now stated that, acting on the advice of others, as well as upon his own knowledge, he had been induced to recommend twenty-nine gentlemen to the Lord Chancellor as persons to be added to the commission. The recommendation was instantly adopted by the Lord Chancellor, who informed him that a commis sion would be prepared accordingly ; but before it was prepared the inhabitants petitioned that the name of the Rev. Octavius James might be added to the rest, and his name was sent up to the Lord Chancellor, and was inserted in the commission. Of all these thirty gentlemen there was but one who had applied to be put into the commission, and that was a gentleman who had complained of the omission of his name when the former commis sion had been issued. The Learned Counsel added that he had the affidavit of a magistrate of many years' standing, who set forth the absolute necessity that there had been for this addition to the magistracy ; for that the population of the place was larger ; it was opposite the coast of Ireland ; it was liable to immigrations of Irish paupers ; and in 1850 about 12,000 of them had come within magis terial and police jurisdiction. The letter also showed that the number of magistrates had been 33, but that it had been reduced by deaths and changes of resi dence to 22, of which 22 the attendance was very indifferent; so that though there were five meetings of petty sessions every week, only two out of the 22 performed the duty; and it frequently happened that the business was obliged to be suspended or adjourned for want of magistrates to conduct it. For the rea sons thus set forth, and for no other, Lord Lonsdale inserted in his letter of recommendation the names of 12 persons within the district of Whitehaven. Only six of these qualified at the following April sessions, and of these six two had been elected guardians of the poor. At that time Lord Lonsdale did not know that the qualifying magistrates became ex officio guardians of the poor of the parish or union in which they acted as magistrates; and although he held one-sixth of the rateable property of the place, he was not then a guardian. He had since, however, become a m igistrate and a guardian. The libel of which he now complained attributed to him that he selected these gentlemen to be magistrates because he knew that they would thereby become ex officio guardians, that they were creatures of his own, and were chosen with the understanding that they would do his bid ding, and would vote for the purchase of the work house from him. It was this of which he complained, for he disregarded the rest of the article; but when he was accused of thus corruptly misusing the trust which his Sovereign had placed in him, he felt that he was bound to apply to the Court for i's interfe rence ; and in doing so he negatived, in the most ex press terms, the imputations which it conveyed. The Learned Counsel was proceeding to read and com ment on the libel, when Lord CAMPBELL said that the article imputed a grave offence to a high officer in the discharge of his duty, he had distinctly denied the imputation, and the rule must be granted. Rule to show cause granted. TUCKER V. THE PROPRIETORS OP THE BRISTOL AND XETEIi RAILWAY. Mr. A. J. STEPHENS moved fpr a rule to show cause why the defendants in this case should not be ordered to take up an award which had been made in a reference where ,they were parties. The Learned Counsel stated that the facts of the dispute and the reference, and the making of the award, and then ob served that the Act under which the arbitration took place was so worded that the plaintiff was not autho rised to take up the award; but the right to do so was vested in the defendants alone, who, by refusing to take it up, prevented the plaintiff from obtaining what was justly due to him. The COURT granted the rule to show cause. BAIL COURT, Nov. 3. (Sittings in Banco, before Mr. Justice ERLE.) His Lordship did not enter the court until a few minutes before two o'clock. The business disposed of was of no interest or importance. EXCHEQUER, Nov. 3. in Banco.) This bei n g T the O( fi SF r it s t t in d gs ay of term, their Lordships breakfasted with the Lord Chancellor. The Court sat at about half-past One. The Court consisted of I Barons Parke, Alderson, and Mr. Willis having been appointed• to the office of " Tubman" to Platt. Mr. Lord t Chief Baron the Court, to which the privilege of mov i ng before Queen's counsel is attached, made the first motion on the sitting of the Court. In the course of the afternoon the several gentle men who have recently been appointed Queen's coun sel presented themselves to the Court, and were called within the bar by the Lord Chief Baron. BURT V. KELLY. Tbis was a case specially appointed to be taken on the first day o f term. Mr. WATSON and Mr. MAN ISTT , f or th e d e f endant, was a m s brought ay, 184 9, now showed cause against a ru l e f or a new tr i al, which had been obtained by M r . H um f rey on the ground of m isdirection o n th e part of the Lord Chief Baron, before whom the case was t r i e d . The the on an agr e e men t, b ear i ng date by which the def en d an t agreed to let to the plaintiff a pi ece o f groun d at t h e corner of an intended street, l ea di ng i nto t h e Vic toria--road, Hampstead-road, for the purpose of build ing two houses on it; and in consideration of the plaintiff's engaging to build the two houses, to be completed before June, 1850, the defendant agreed to make a temporary road from the Victoria-road along the intended street by the 31st of September, 1849. The breach assigned was that the defendant had never made the temporary road. The defendant paid 51. into court, and the jury found that no further damage was sustained br the plaintiff. The misdirection complained of was that his Lordship said that the Plaintiff could not have sustained any damage up to the time when the houses were to be built; and that he might have made the road himself, and then sued the defendant for the sum which it might cost. Mr. WATSON and Mr. MANISTT, in support of the ruling on the first point, contended that until the houses were completed and fit to receive tenants the road could be of no advantage, and therefore that its absence could cause no damage; and, as to the second point, that if erron eous , it h a d no effect on the verdict. Mr. Huhu.*Er and Mr. M. SMITS, in support of the rule, contended that one of the uses of the road was to enable the plaintiff to cart materials for the building of the houses, and that in this respect he had been damnified by the defendant's failing to perform his contract. The COURT took time to consider whether the rule should be granted. ST URGESS V. LORD CURZON. Mr. D. KEANE applied fora rule to show cause why this action should not be stayed, on the ground that the subject matter of it had been referred to arbitra . tion, which was now pending. The facts were as follow :—A. Mr. Gell, an attorney, sued Lord Curzon, as director of a railway company, for his bill of costs. That acti on , u p on c oming on fur trial, was referred to arbitration. Mr. Gell afterwards became insolvent, and upon the arbitration being proceeded with, Lord Cranwortb, then Mr. Baron Rolfe, stayed it until security for the costs should be given by the attorney on whose account it was alleged that the proceedings were continued. The present action was then commenced by the plaintiff, who is the assignee of Gall, for the same cause. Mr. Baron Martin at chambers stayed the Faction until the first d ay o f t erm. Mr. Keane now moved for its further s t a y on th e g round thatit was in fact the same matter as that of " Gell v. Curzon," and was brought by the attorney for his own purposes, and to frustrate the order of Mr. Baron Rolfe. The COURT intimated an opinion that the assignee could not be prejudiced by the proceedings in the action brought by the insolvent, but they would con sult Mr. Baron Marrin before giving a final decision. ARCHES' 'COURT, Nov. 3. (Before Sir H. JENNER FosT.) This was the first day of term, and the usual for mula was observed. LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, BOWEN V. BOWEN. This was an application for a divorce, promoted by the wife against the husband on the grounds of cruelty and adultery. Dr. JENNE; on the part of Mrs. Bowen, said he would ask for a divorce on account of adultery only, as there appeared to him an insufficiency of proof in the charge of cruelty. Dr. IikGGARD, for Mr. Bowen, said that, under these circumstances, he considered there could be no advantage in having the facts gone into. The COURT said, ha v i ng rea d a ll t h o papers, it was of opinion the charge of adultery was established, and on this account, therefore, it would grant a divorce. PREROGATIVE COURT, Nov. 3. (Before Sir H. JENNER FM) _ WILLIAMS V. WARD. In this ease it is sought to prove the last will and testament of the late Robert Watson, Esq., of 15, Old Cavendish-street. The will was dated January 25, 1850, and was propounded by Mr. `Williams, one of the executors named therein ; and Mr. Ward (one of the executors named in a former will) op poses its validity. The arguments were only in part heard. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. John Timbelin was placed at the bar before Alder ma❑ Lawrence, upon the charge of stealing four fowls, two ducks, and a brace of partridges, value 16z., the property of his employer. Mr. James Herbert Cooke said—l am a poulterer, carrying on business on Holborn-hill. Prisoner was in my service. On Saturday he was going out of the shop, when I observed something sticking out of one of his trousers' pockets, and called him back, and asked him what he had concealed there ? He said " Only a duck ;" which he immediately produced.— (Laughter.) I then asked hirn if he had anything else, when he put his hand into the other pocket and brought out this fowl.—(Laughter.) I then de manded if that was all ? but, to my astonishment, he put his hand into his trousers again and produced another duck, and then another fowl.—(Great laughter). I repeated my inquiry, when he plunged his hand again into his capacious trousers and drew forth a brace of partridges.—(Renewed laughter.) I thought that, like the man at the theatre who dis played such a partiality for waistcoats, he would never stop, and was about to call in a constable to have him searched, when he, for the last time, made another dive into his un men ti ona bl es and brought forth two more fowls.—(Roars of laughter.) Alderman LAWRENCE—Are those the fowls and ducks ? Prosecutor—Yes, sir, but the heads have all been cut off to make them fit the trousers more con veniently. Alderman LAWRENCE—He must have a very large pair of trousers to allow him to stow away those eight birds. Prosecutor—l do not think thin is the first time, and I rather believe he has somebody connected with him to dispose of the goods. Prisoner—l own lam guilty of this charge, but I assure your worship I have been a worthy member of society, and hope to be so again. Alderman LAWRENCE—You have not given us a good specimen of your honesty, or of the likelihood of your ever becoming a useful member of society. Prisoner—l was driven to this from distress. Alderman LAWRENCE—I cannot believe that, for the officer found 11. 83. 7d. on you. I shall, therefore, send you to the House of Correction for three months with hard labour. NOVEMBER 4, 1851 CLERKENWELL. Yesterday Mary Ann Langford, a young woman of respectable appearance, who refused her address, was charged with attempting to pick pockets on the platform of the Great Northern Railway, King's• cross, and with having been concerned, with others, in picking the pocket of Miss Mary Ann Maskell, of 3, Glasshouse-yard, Aldersgate-street. Mr. Roberts, solicitor, attended on behalf of the p risoner. It appeared from the evidence of Sergeant Williams, No. 11, and Constable Hilsden, 92, employed on the line of the Great Northern Railway, that on Satur day evening, between five and six o'clock, they saw the prisoner, evidently with the intention of picking pockets, pushing against ladies who were on the plat form, waiting for the arrival of the train. Sergeant Williams ' who was fi rs t a t trac t e d b y h er manoeuvres , intimated his suspicions to Hilsden, and on being watched, the prisoner was joined by two females and a man, who on the arrival of the train from York fol lowed the prosecutrix to the luggage department, where the prisoner took her position by the side of the prosecutrix, her two female companions, in thieves' phraseology, " covered" her in order to facilitate her movements, and the man stood immediately behind them. The prisoner and her companions subsequently proceeded some distance from the spot, when an alarm was made that the prosecutrix had been robbed, and the prisoner was apprehended, but her associates escaped. Hilsden, in cross-examination, said he found a purse (now produced) near her feet. Saw her hand near the pocket of the prosecutrix. When the pri soner was near the luggage he questioned her as to her business there. She said, " Oh, my dear, I am waiting for my luggage." Tne prosecutrix deposed that she resided in Glass house-yard, Aldersgate-street. On Saturday evening she arrived by the train, and went to the place on the platform where the luggage is delivered out. The prisoner came and stood by her side. She felt her press against her side where her pocket was in her dress, on the right side. She subsequently missed her purse containing 2s. 6d. from her pocket, on which she made an alarm, and the prisoner was ap prehended. The prisoner, who is rather a good-looking woman, shed tears and refused to say where she lived, and positively denied the charge. She had her gloves on at the time, and her parasol in her hand. Mr. COMBE told her that her crying would have no effect upon him. If she wished to serve herself or show her respectability she had better tell where she lived and send for her friends. A Voice here said—She lives over in Lambeth, be tween Gibraltar-row and Elliott's-row. An officer said he had seen the prisoner in the neighbourhood of Lambeth. Mr. COMBE directed tiiiithe person who seemed to know the prisoner should stand forward, and he step ped into the witness-box ;he had evidently!been drink ing freely. Mr. COMBE inquired what he knew of the prisoner ? Answer—She is my sister. She lives in Elliott's row, Lambeth, No. 22. lam a dentist-surgeon. Mr. COMBE — Where do you live ? I don't know exactly the name of the place, but it is somewhere in Lambeth. When I am at home I live in Philadelphia, in America. I am an illegitimate child, and my name is Tekeli ; but her name is Langford. Could'nt your worship deal with the case in a summary way ? Mr. COMBE said certainly not ; she had refused her address, and gave so unsatisfactory an account of her self, that he should send the case before a jury for trial. Hilsden said the prisoner had stated that she came on the platform to await the arrival of her sister from Leeds. The prisoner, however, would not say who or what her sister was. Mr. Tekeli said he would take the prisoner to America if she was discbarged. Mr. Co➢9BE said he would remand her for a week, in order that proper inquiries should be made about her, and to ascertain whether she could be identified as being a visitant at other railways, and during the in- terim she would have the benefit of communicating with her friends. Sha was then remanded and conveyed to prison. SINGULAR CHARGE OF ROBBERY BY A SERVANT. At the Borough Court, on Wednesday, a man named Stone was charged with stealing a quantity of goods from the warehouse of Mr. James Atkinson, 30, Faulkner-street. Mr. Cobbett appeared for Mr. Atkinson, and Mr. E. Bennett for the prisonsr. The prosecutor in this case is a manufueturer, having his manufactory at Colne, and a warehouse in Faulkner-street, Manchester. The prisoner has been in his employ as a porter and warehouse man ; and lived in a house immediately behind Mr. Atkinson's warehouse. The case for the pro secution was, that on the afternoon of last Mon day week, while Mr. Atkinson was at Coins, the pri soner removed from the warehouse to his own house a number of pieces of de laine goods, some grey shawl cloths, some sheeting and some twine ; and that when Mr. Atkinson subsequently applied to him for them he refused to return them. After witnesses had been called who spoke to these facts, the pri soner was remanded until the following day, in order that the case for the defence might then be gone into. On Thurday morning Stone was again brought up, when Mr. Bennett called Henry Foulds, a young man who has been in the employ of the prosecutor about three months. He said that he had no authority to order the delivery of goods, but sometimes sold them. The goods were removed from the warehouse to the pri soner ' s house last Monday week. He assisted in their removal. When Mr. Atkinson left Manchaster, on the pre vious Saturday, he ordered Stone to take the goods to Pearce Brothers, on Monday morning. When he wont to the warehouse, on Monday, he asked Stone if he had not better take the goods where Mr. Atkinson had ordered him. Prisoner ad vised that the goods should not be sent there; saying that, if they were, not a penny would be got for them, and recommended that they Should be taken to his (Stone's) house. The reason he gave for this was, that there was " law out" against Mr. Atkinson, and if the goods were left in the warehouse, they would be taken away. After they had removed the goods witness repented of having done so; and went to Colne, wher e h e saw M r. Atkinson, and infoisud him of what had taken place. Mr. Atkinson told him that he ought not to have allowed the goods to go to Stone's house. Witness then returned to Manchester; but, owing to an accident upon the railway, did not arrive in Manchester until the warehouse was closed. On the following morning Foulds:told Stone what Mr. Atkinson bad said ; when Stone answered that he would not take back the goods to the ware house for any one. The goods which witness as sisted in removing to the house of the prisoner did not include any shawl pieces, twine, or sbeetings. In answer to Mr. Bennett, he stated that the firm of Foultis and Co. consisted of himself and his father, who had but lately commenced business, and had no place of business. Mr. James Atkinson, re-called by Mr. Cobbett, stated that on Tuesday morning he found in Stone's house seven pieces of shawl cloths and a quantity of twi❑e. These were things which he had lost, and which were in his warehouse on Saturday before he went to Colne. In cross•exacnination by Mr. 13, nnett, he stated that he took a porter to S . orie's house, arid asked for the goods, but that Stone refused to let him have them. He had heard from Foulds that some sheeting had been brought back from Stone's house to the warehouse. When the goods were removed he had no reason to believe that they were in danger while in his warehouse, nor had he since had reason to believe so. Mr. Bennett then proceeded to call a number o witnesses for the defence. Mr. Blenkinsop, formerly bookkeeper with the prosecutor, proved that Foulds could sell goods and order their delivery. Mr. David Pickup, of the firm of Pickup and Hulse, packers, stated that on one occasion five cases of goods were sent to his place by Mr. Atkinson. He afterwards received an order to deliver the goods, signed Foulds and Co. He refused to deliver the goods upon that order, and after wards received one from James Atkinson. Those goods he afterwards gave to Mr. Giles, who had printed them, and who told him that he wanted 1081. odd for doing so. Mr. Giles gave witness a written undertaking to clear him from all charges if an action were brought against him for doing so. Timothy Faulkner, porter, stated that on M')nday week he saw Foulds and Stone removing goods from Mr. Atkinson's warehouse to the house of the latter. He heard Foulds tell Stone to look sharp, and after wards say to Mrs. Stone that she must not " split." Had Foulds acted to him as he did to Stone, he (witness) should have thought him to be his master. Mr. Simpson, calico printer, proved that on Wed nesday week the prosecutor offered to sell him some goods which he said were at Stone's house. Stone was sent for, and admitted that he had some goods belonging to Mr. Atkinson, who. ordered him to send them to his (witness's) warehouse, but they never came. Mr. Whitaker, calico printer, stated that he had had considerable dealings with both the prosecutor and his brother, John Atkinson, of Glasgow. Pro secutor had told him that he had shipped goods to the United States in Foulds's name. Foulds acted as a prin cipal person. Some goods which ought to have been sent to Pearce Brothers for an advance were not sent; and, upon being asked last Tuesday week why they had not been sent, the prosecutor said that they had been sold. He afterwards told witness that they were at Stone's, and were safe. Witness had gone to Atkinson on the occasion when this conversation took place, because Atkinson had shipped goods in witness's name to de. fraud his creditors. He wanted an advance, and wit ness was determined he should not have them. Wit ness had printed some goo is for Atkinson, and it was arranged that the goods should be sent to the shipper as goods shipped by witness. Witness was to re ceive the money advanced upon them, and after deducting what was due to himself for print ing, to pay the rest to the prosecutor. As Atkinson was a minor, which, however, witness knew at the time, he agreed to the above-mentioned plan, aid his creditors therefore had no hold upon him ; he deter mined to prevent his obtaining any of the advance, and to do the best he could for them with some other goods of Atkinson's which he held. Witness ob tained as much of the advance upon the goods shipped in his name as paid him his bill for printing them. Ann Wynn, a lodger in the house of the prisoner, stated that Stogie and Foulds were equally concerned in bringing the goods there. On that night John Atkinson slept at Stone's house. Some sheets were, by his direction, fetched from the warehouse, to cover himself and a man who was with him. On the following morning, John and James Atkinson and Henry Foulds went into the garret where the goods had been placed, and remained there about half an hour. When they went down stairs, witness heard Mr. Stone say the goods would be safe, and James Atkinson replied that they would be as safe as in the bank. Henry Foulds took back to the warehouse all the sheets but one. John Atkinson told him not to mind the sheets, as they had never been paid for, and never should. On 'Wednesday night, three gentlemen, Mr. Wilcock, Mr. Norbury, and a Scotch gentleman, fetched the goods away. When they went to the house they said they had come for the de laines which were there. They talked a great while about its being a shame that the Atkinsons should bribe people, and so on. Stone told them to take the goods, and they sent for four porters, who removed the goods. Mr. Wilcock, of the firm of Wilcock and Nor bury, engravers, stated that he and his partner were creditors of James Atkinson. He saw the goods being removed from prosecutor's warehouse, but did not suspect that anAhicg was wrong. He afterwards heard from Mr. Petty that some goods belonging to Atkinson were concealed in Stone's house. He went with his partner, Mr. Norbury, and the representative of a Scotch house, also creditors of Atkinson, to endeavour to get these goods from Stone. They told Stone who they were, and asked him to give up the goods belonging to Mr. Atkinson. Stone said that he was miserable about these goods, and did not know whether or not to give them. H e afterwards consented to give up, on condition of their giving him an agreement in writing to be answer able for the consequences. The goods were then removed by the porters, and sent to Mr. John Lee's, to be packed and sent to Glasgow. The prisoner said that he regarded Foulds as his master, and had acted under his direction. He was at work removing shawls from the warehouse until six o'clock, on the evening of the Saturday before the removal of the goods now in question. Mr. Maude said that this case showed discreditable transactions throughout, both on one side and on the other. It seemed to him that a set of persons going and tampering with a man's servant, to get goods from the hands of th a t servant, which he held by the authority of his master (supposing such to have been the case here), was most discreditable, and he did not know where it was to end if pursued in this large manufacturing town. He thought, how ever, that there was no evidence to prove a felonious asportation in this case, as it would appear from the evidence, and particularly from that of the last wit ness, that the goods were really removed to protect them from some of the creditors, who thought they had a right to them. The prisoner must therefore be dis charged.—Manchester Guardian.
