A most important case was tried yesterday at Croydon before Lord Chief Justice JERVIS and a special jury, a case which has settled a most important point, and settled it as all men of common sense, all men not rendered timid by the " bould speaking " of sacerdotal bullies, would wish to see it settled. A special jury of the county of Surrey has decided by its well-considered verdict, in the case of SovrAu v. Ds HELD, that a nuisance is not the less a nuisance because the perpetrator of it fancies that it is a part of his religious duty to commit it ; that, in short, no man has any right to annoy his neighbours, under pretence that it is necessary to the full deve lopment of his religious feelings that they should be so annoyed. It appears that the plaintiff in this action, Mr. SOLTAU, is a merchant of the city of London, who some years since took a house in the New Park-road, Clapham, where he resides with his family. In the year 1848 the house next door to that inhabited by Mr. SOLTAU (the two had formerly formed together one large mansion) was purch ase d by a Roman Catholic society called the Redemptionist Fathers, of which society Mr. DE HELD, the defendant, was the supe rior. No sooner had these worthy fathers taken possession of the premises than they placed a large bell on the top of the house, and this bell they were continually ringing from morning until night, literally from morning to night, for they commenced at five o'clock in the morning, and from that time until ten at night the clapper of the bell was not suf fered to be at rest for two consecutive hours. In vain did Mr. SOLTAU remonstrate, the only answer he could get was " that there were religious considera tions that would prevent the discontinuance of the ringing of the bell." " 'Tis part of my system," sa y s th e I r i s h t utor as a universal excuse for the commission of every species of folly. " 'Tis part of my religion," says Mr. DE HELD, and that he considers more than a sufficient reason for worrying his neighbours out of their lives. This one bell was bad enough, but at the commence ment of the present year the nuisance was greatly increased. Although remonstrated with on the ringing of this one bell, nay, probably, because remonstrated with, these holy fathers, in the true spirit of sacerdotal tyranny, and with that bitter and insulting contempt for the feelings of others which is so peculiarly the characteristic of the priesthood of which they are members, built a regu lar belfry upon a portion of their premises, and having removed the bell from the top of the house, they now had a regular peal of six bells, which were being continually rung, and which constituted the most serious nuisance to the whole neighbourhood. The ringing commenced at five o'clock in the morning with the smaller bell, and then the other bells were rung at intervals during nearly the whole day. The plaintiff and his neigh bours remonstrated with the defendant upon the sub ject of this serious nuisance, but it was of no avail, and he distinctly told them that the bells should not be stopped unless by the law. The nuisance must have been intolerable. ELIZABETH ADAMS, who has lived in the service of the plaintiff six years, thus describes it :—"Directly the Roman Catholic society took posses sion of the premises they pulled down the trees, and converted the first-floor into a place of worship, and shortly afterwards a bell was placed on the roof of the house. This bell was rung all the year round at five in the morning. It rang for five minutes. It rang loud enough to awake everybody in their house, and it was a long time before she got used to it. This bell was also rung at five other different times, and sometimes seven, during the day, at five, at a quarter to seven, a quarter to nine, at twelve, at seven, and sometimes at three in the afternoon. On Wednes days and Saturdays it was also rung at half-past six and eight. She remembered the new belfry being built. The first peal of bells she heard was on the 13th May. They were rung at six in the evening. They were also rung the next day, but she could not say how many times, and since this they bad been rung continually both on Sundays and week days. Chimes were also rung on the Sundays. The small bell was rung at five in the morning, and then a larger bell was rung at a quarter to seven ; at half past seven the small bell was rung again, and then the large bell rung at a quarter to nine. The effect of this continued ringing was to cause such a confusion and noise in her master's house that they did not know what they were about, and they could not hear when the house bells were rung. The plaintiff was an elderly gentleman, and his family consisted of a daughter, two sons, and three grandchildren. The daughter was in ill health, and she had been re moved to Uxbridge. The chiming of the bells made a very great noise, and it was very con fusing and annoying to the ears, and the continual ringing of the bells made everybody in the house uncomfortable." Mr. FREDERICK HARRISoN, the plaintiff's nephew, who was in the habit of visiting at the house, states that the ringing of these bells frequently caused the house to shake, and that persons sitting at the table were sometimes unable to hear each other speak. Mr. TAYLOUR, a surgeon, who had attended the plaintiff's family, said he thought it advisable to order his daughter to be removed, owing to the excitement and noise of the bells affect ing her health. He also said he considered that the plaintiff, being an elderly man, had suffered in his health from the same cause. The plaintiff did not bring his action until be had used every endeavour in his power to induce the defendant to be moderate in the use of these bells. Mr. BENJAMIN FIELD, solicitor, deposed that in August, 1848, he had an interview with Mr. HASTING, the solicitor for the defendant, upon the subject of the annoyance that was caused to the plaintiff by the bell at the top of the heuse. Mr. HASTING said he would see Cardinal WISEMAN on the subject, and see if anything could be done, and when he saw him again he told him there were reli gious considerations that would prevent the discon tinuance of the ringing of the bell. Witness resided at Clapham, but at some distance from the plaintiff, and the bell, therefore, was not so much annoyance to him. The effect of the bells in the belfry upon any one in the plaintiff's house was most distressing. The noise was quite astounding, and he should not think of taking such a house or living in it. Not content with having sought, through the medium of Mr. FIELD, to procure amicably an abatement of the nuisance, the plaintiff, no longer ago than last June, sent Mr. FRANKS to the defendant, when the defendant, well knowing that the health of the plain tiff's daughter had been seriously affected by the noise, want of rest, and the excitement occasioned by his perpetual indulgence in his favourite pastime . of bell ringing, bluntly told Mr. FRANKS that as principal of the society he should not stop the bells unless the law Compelled him to do so. The defence of Mr. B RAMWELL, who conducted the case on behalf of the defendant, went upon the principle that provided a nuisance were perpetrated i n t h e name of religi on i t cease d t o be a nuisance. " The mere fact of ringing a bell, or a peal of bells, once a day," says Mr. BRAMWELL, ":or several times a day if they pleased, was not enough to constitute a nuisance. It might be very annoying to a person of nervous temperament, but that did not constitute a nuisance in the eye of the law. The law very properly and sensibly did not take cognizance of trifles." What does Mr. BRAM WELL Say to the case of the Italian organ boy, w h o was eominitted to prison the other day for continuing to play his organ after he had been ordered off by an inhabitant of one of the neighbouring houses? Probably, however, he only played profane tunes; had he ground psalms and chants his grind ing would, according to the theory of the defendant and his counsel, have ceased to be a nuisance. Thi s perpe t ua l r i ng i n g could not, Y° Mr. BRAMWELL argued, annoy the neigh bourhood, because the society thought they were doing right bours. Accoradrlidnghatde this i t s h h eo to ry an w n e oy ou th g e h i t r t n o e p ig e h r: no th mit dancing Fakirs to perambulate our streets in a state of nudity ; the Fakir think:, that he is doing LONDON, right by adopting this primitive costume, and he has no wish to annoy his neighbours, and most assuredly he has an equal right with any other British subject to fully develop his religion. The law of bell ringing was thus laid down by Chief Justice JEEVIS: —"By the common law churches of every denomi nation had a full right to use bells, and it was a vulgar error to suppose that there was any distinction at the present time in this respect. At the same time those bells might undoubtedly be made use of in such a manner as to create a nuisance, and in that case a Protestant Church and a Roman Catholic one were equally liable." The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff, with 40s. damages, thus establish ing the fact, that religious worship may be so con ducted as to be a nuisance to the neighbourhood, and that it is no excuse for the perpetration of a nuisance to say that it is necessary to the full development of the religion of the party committing it that such nui sances should be committed. We have at various times received communications from persons living in the neighbourhood of St. Barnabas, Pimlico, and of the Roman Catholic Cathedral in St. George's fields, complaining of th e nu i sance o f th e perpe t ua l bell-ringings going on at these places. We commend this case of SOLTAU v. Ds HELD to their special atten tion, and to that o f a ll persons su ff er i ng f rom th e com mission of a similar nuisance. Deplorably deficient as the metropolis of England is in specimena of architectural taste and in public monuments, we are rejoiced to see public attention called to the supineness and normal apathy of the higher powers, as signalised in their long and unpar donable neglect of the importation of the obelisk of Alexandria. This perfect and valuable relic of Egyp tian antiquity, wrought even anterior to the reign of SESOSTRIS, is in a double sense the rightful property of England. After our victorious arms had given us possession of Alexandria, half a century ago, prepa rations were commenced for transporting this venerable trophy of our triumph from the shores of the Nile to those of the Thames, and were rapidly advanc ing to completion when they were suddenly suspended. Money, labour, all appliances and means to boot, were in abundant requisition, when the Ge neral commanding at Malta wrote to the military au thorities in Egypt, objecting, in the plenitude of his wisdom, to the employment of the troops in the work, in constructing a jetty, and doing what was necessary to effect the object of removal, upon which they had set their minds with a laudable pride, and all further proceedings had to be abandoned accordingly. Several years subsequently the Pacha, MEHEMET ALI, made a gift of the obelisk to GEORGE IV., and when Captain SMYTH, of the Royal Navy, was prepared to attempt its removal in 1822, offered to build a pier for its em barkation, and to render every assistance in his power, but the Gallant Captain could not procure the autho rity of our Government for the prosecution of his design. When the French, in 1830, were trans porting the obelisk of Luxor to Paris, their Consul in Egypt sought to obtain possession of the disre garded prize, naïvely observing that, as the English had so long neglected the PACHA'S present, they might be considered to have relinquished it; but like an old familiar friend, the deg in the manger, the English Government would neither remove it from its prostrate condition on the sand themselves, nor suffer any one else to take it in their charge ; and there from that day to this it has lain, exposed to injuries at the hands of idle strollers, a crying reproach on the national taste, owing to the ungenerous indiffer ence of the directors of public affairs. It is in every way as regards them a thoroughly shabby matter as it stands. As a memorial of the brave men who bled in Egypt, its presence in the ca pital would be a source of general gratification—a noble monument of British heroism. As a memorial of the ancient art of Egypt, the visible possession of this most interesting , relic of a mysterious age and country would be appreciated by all of us who are not case-hardened in Utilitarianism, and would con stitute an imposing feature in the , metropolis. As to the expense of its removal, even were it not the mere trifle it is rated at, no one would do himself any great amount of credit by grumbling at it, when even that stringent but sensible economist, Mr. HUME, has expressed an in terest in the subject. We feel really ashamed for the amiable Earl of CARLISLE, on finding that, in reply to a question put by Lord WESTMEATH in the Upper House, as to whether any steps had recently been taken in the matter of the transplantation of the mo nument, he put forward the puerile apology, That he apprehended there were certain mechanical diffi culties in the way I" 'What a vapid truism. Mecha nical difficulties there are in every phase of active motion, but are there no such things as the lever and the pulley ? In short, we i ,arn,utterly at a loss to imagine what excuse, with a semblance of solidity or decency, can be alleged for grudging to expend some three thousand pounds sterling, and a small amount of labour on the part of unemployed hands, in embarking a weight of 240 tons, and embellishing the court-yard of the national Museum, or the parade-ground of the national War-office, with a peerless memorial of modern British valour inter twined with ancient Egyptian art. THE HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT.—Yesterday the pre parations commenced for pulling down the old House of Com mons, it being definitively settled that the new House is to be occupied by the Members on the meeting of Parliament. St. Stephen's Porch, and the flight of steps leading from Westminster Hall, excepting some trifling details, are finished. The hall itself is undergoing a thorough repair, a higher tier of windows has:been opened, which has materially the aspect of the int er i or . Th e ce l e b rate d roof has improved undergone a thorough renovation, and several of the timbers, found to be affected by dry-rot, removed. The hall is now daily thronged with visitors, and several of the long benches from the House of Commons have been placed there for public accommodation, and prove very acceptable to weary persons who have beeli travelling about viewing the sights of the metropolis. It is curious to see with what avidity respectable persons seize upon the smallest piece of wood that may fall from the workmen to carry away as a memento. The House of Lords is to be continued open to the public till the close of the Exhibition, admission will then cease during the remainder of the recess, in order that the works may be resumed. ABATEMENT OF PUBLIC NUISANCES.—For some time past the ears of the public have been frequently obliged to listen, to complaints against Newcastle-court, Strand, and contiguous localities, as being the place for har bouring females of loose character and plundering the unini tiated. On Monday, on the part of the parish of St. Cle ment's, an ejectment of all the tenants in Newcastle-court took place, and a request, by deputation, on Tuesday, to Mr. Hall, the chief magistrate of Bow-street, was made, to lend his assistance in abolishing the others. Mr. Hall, in reply to Mr. Isacson, the vestry-clerk, and Mr. Bate (church warden), said that he should be happy to forward the object in view; but was not empowered by Act of Parliament, his duty merely being to adjudicate upon any cases brought before him which had originated in either of the places named. So heartily, however, did he enter into the feelings and meaning of the deputation, that he should wish to refer them to Colonel Mayne. Colonel Mayne was consequetly waited upon by the deputation, at the Commissioners-rooms, Whitehall-place, where they were told that no proceedings could be taken by them, except under the Police Act. It is now, therefore, the intention of the ratepayers to convene a general meeting of their body, for the purpose of calling the attention of Sir G. Grey, the Home Secretary, to crushing the existing nuisances. DEPARTURE OF THE CITY OF GLASGOW STEAM suir.—At one o'clock yesterday (Wednesday) the above named screw steam-ship left the Mersey for Philadelphia, with the unprecedented number of 224 passengers. DONCASTER, WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON.—It i 8 HOW known that her Majesty has stated her intention to pass a night at Doncaster on the 27th inst., on her journey to Scotland. Immediately on the receipt of the intelligence, arrangements were commenced at the Angel Hotel for the Queen's reception. The members of the corporation met this morning, and agreed to prepare an address on the part of themselves and the inhabitants generally. An address will also be prepared for presentation to his Royal Highness Prince Albert. A committee has also been appointed, con sisting of the vicar, Mr. Denison, M.P. (chairman of the Great Northern Railway), and other gentlemen, to meet the corporation every day at tee Mansion-house, and confer with them, and assist in carrying out the arrangements. It is in ' tended to apply for a military escort and band ; also for some London police. The Mansion-house and Guildhall will be most brilliantly and tastefully illuminated at night, and it -is believed that a series of rejoicings will take place such as has not been witnessed for years past. Arches of flowers will also be thrown across the streets along which her Ma jesty will have to pass; and everything of an unsightly ap pearance will either be hidden or entirely removed, regard being had to that privacy which it is known that her Ma jesty desires. FOLKESTONE, TUESDAY.— This afternoon, as the dai'y express train, with 2.6 passengers, brought over by the Lord %\ arden steam-boat, was proceeding up the incline to the upper station, the shank and hook of the first carriage gave way, thus detaching the whole train from the engine. The cariages ran back with fearful velocity, and it was im possible to stop their progress until they had carried away the whole of the back of the station. Fortunately, the last two carriages were luggage vans. One was completely shat tered to pieces. The passengers escaped with a few slight concussions. The only person seriously injured is a painter, who was at work at the back of the station, from whence he was thrown about thirty feet by the concussion. EXHIBITION BANQUET AND FESTIVAL.—M. Soyer has been prevailed upon to afford the exhibitors of all na lions an opportunity of social interchange of sentimen t (which the exhibitors have long so u ght for), and that at a moderate charge. We trust that those who are in daily attendance at the Exhibition will, with those at a distance, avail themselves of this opportunity, which may never again occur, of becoraiDg acquaintedl,4'4 their bryther preclacero Ervin All climes. THE FRENCH. REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The llonitcur publishes the following ( fficial ac count of the accident which occurred at the Invalides daring the funeral of Marshal SEBASTIANI :••••• " This morning, at half-past eleven, during the prepa rations for the service which was to be celebrated for the funeral of General Sebastiani, the fire caught the drapery which dtcorated the church of the Invalides. It was completely extinguished by a quarter-past twelve by the pompiera of the Hotel des lnvalides and the neighbouring posts. No one was wounded. The da mage is not great; nevertheless we have to regret the loss of some of the flags taken by the French armies. The fire was caused by the maladdress of a servant. The funeral service could not be resumed, but the mili tary honoura were rendered to the remains of Marshal Sebastiani." The following detailed, account of the accident is published in Galignani's Messenger : " The funeral ot Marshal Sebastiani, which took place yesterday at the Invalides, nearly terminated in a very disastrous manner. As early as nine o'clock detachments of troops aad assembled front all the bar racks of Paris, having their drums and colours deco rated with black, and the officers having crape on the arm and the sword hilt. Nearly all the general offi cers in the capital were present, amongst them being General Oudinot, Magnan, Barraguay o'Hilliers, Rul hiare, and Perrot. The President of the Republic was represented by his aide-decamp. A great num ber of representatives attended, and nearly the whole of the diplomatic corps. The crowd of spectators at tracted by curiosity was also considerable. The coffin was placed on a lofty catafalque, near the grand altar of the chapel of the Invalides, the funeral service being under the direction of the Archbishop of Paris, and his vicars-general. Just as the service had com menced an incident occurred which produced the great est consternation. A great number of wax tapers were burning around the catafalque, when the door of the chapel having been suddenly opened to admit the per sons who desired to enter, a strong current of air carried the flame of the tapers to the black drapery over the coffin, and in an instant the whole was a mass of fire. The flsmes ascended with great rapidity, and soon reached the flags taken in battle from various nations, and hanging from the roof. These in their turn caught fire, and fears were at one time entertained for the safety of the chapel itself. Fortunately among the persons present were Captain Condamine and Lieutenant Mathey, of the sapeura-pompiers, who instantly gave orders respecting the measures to be taken to check the fire. Four fire engines were soon brought to the spot, three from the Invalides itself, and one from the nearest post. These were so effectively employed, that in a short time the {limes were got under, though net until a great number of the trophies obtained by the valour of France had been destroyed, The line of flags on the right side of the chapel has, in particular suffered, scarcely more having remained of them than the blackened poles. The famous umbrella taken at the battle ot Isly from the Emperor of Morocco is amongst the objects destroyed. The fu neral ceremony which was thus interrupted, could not be resumed in the chapel, but was celebrated outside, after which the body was carried down into the vaults under the chapel. The President of the Republic, on hearing of the disaster, immediately proceeded to the Invalides, giving directions that no military honours should be paid him. He remained on the spot until it was ascertained that the fire was completely extin guished." _ _ The trial at Lyons still continues. The speculators appear to have abandoned the Bourse for the present.

The Breslau Gazette says that RADEIZKY has re cently demanded reinforcements for his army from the Austrian Government. Nevertheless the Go vernment pays no attention to this demand, seeing that the state of the public finances will not permit of a greater outlay of money for this purpose. It is necessary to pay the troops in Italy in hard cash, which the Government has little of, while the sol diery in other parts of the empire are paid in paper money. _ . . .

VISITORS 'FROM CHINA.—The list of foreign visi tors to this country, who have been attracted hither by the Great Exhibition, has just received a very novel addition by the arrival of a Chinese family of rank, per the Lady Pea, direct from Canton. These interesting personages consist of a Chinese gentleman of the name of Chung-attai, and his wife Ahap, accompanied by her two sisters, and attended by a female domestic. The three ladies possess the genuine small feet constituting the peculiar characteristic of the higher class of females in the Celestial Empire. These deni zens of the flowery land had hoped to have reached England in time to be present at the opening of the Great Exhibition, but their arrival has been much retarded by contrary winds. Her Majesty has been graciously pleased to convey her royal commands to the ladies, through Colonel Phipps, that they will take an early opportunity of proceeding to Osborne for the purpose of being introduced to her Majesty, and they leave London for that purpose in a day or two. COURTSHIP BY ADVERTISEMENT.—SOIIIe time ago a shoemaker in Harris being in want of a wife advertised for one, and at the time and place appointed was met by a female. Both were in earnest. The shoemaker, how ever, unluckily seemed to be of the same opinion that King Pedro was with regard to his wife, Mary of Arra gon, that she was not so handsome as she might be good, so their meeting ended in mutual disappointment. The man advertised a second time, appointing a different place for the meeting, and varying the words of the adver tisement. He met the same la.ty, they recognised each other, could not choose but smile at the recognition, and, perhaps, neither of them could choose but sigh. The per severing bachelor tried his lot a third time, and at the third place of appointment he met the equally persevering spinster. At this meeting neither could help laughing. They began to converse in good humour; and the conversa tion became so agreeable on both sides, and the circumstance BO remarkble, that this third interview led to a marriage.— Inverness Courier. MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT ON THE THAMES, OFF RlCllMoND.—Yesterday afternoon an inquest was held at Mr. Styles's, the Coach and Horses Inn, laleworth, before Mr. T. M. Wakley, the deputy coroner for Middlesex, upon the body of George Phoeby, aged fifteen, a page in the ser vice of Mrs. Colli er D aw ki ns, o f Ivy-house, Lower Rich mond-road, who was unfortunately drowned opposite the Marquis of Ailsa's villa, on Sunday afternoon last.

On the afternoon of that day he was sent by his mistress t o c h urc h , b ut i nstead of attend i ng Divine service, he went with two other boys to Chitty, a waterman, and hired a boat. They had proceeded across the river, and were in front of the Marquis of Ailsa's house and grounds when deceased was fixing the rudder and leaning over, as one of the boys pulled an oar, which caused the deceased to be precipitated int o th e water, an d h e nev er rose again.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti mated at 8,000 bales, comprising 6,500 American, 300 Pernam and Maranham, at 5i3. to 6d., 200 Bahia at sd. to 6 d., 200 Egyptian at 6d. to Sid., and 800 Surat at 2id. to 3id. per lb. The market was firm, good ord. and low mid American were light, as also Surat.—The Share Market was dull. The six weeks' average price of wheat is 425. 9d. per quarter. The Amsterdam Stock Market on the 12th - inst. was dull for Dutch Stock, the Two-and-a-Half per Cents. being 58 15.16 to 59. Mexican Bonds were lower. The Garay Treaty forms at present the subject of a difference between Mexico and the United States, and the following explanations by the assistant-engineer en gaged in the Tehuantepec survey throw some light upon the matter:— In reply to the statements concerning the Tehuan tepec route, I beg leave briefly to assure you that it is quite as feasible as any in the United States; that there are no less than six mountain passes, all admitting of grades not less than 60 feet; that the road can be built upon a grade of 55 feet to the mile; that a ship canal is by no means impossible; that earthquakes have not oc curred on the Isthmus so far as I am informed; that the lands are incomparably rich, abounding in iron, tin, silver, salt, and coal mines, together with mahogany, lignum vibe, india-rubber, pine, line oak, and cy press, and every variety of gum trees and dye woods. We may add to these a soil and climate adapted to the raising of rice, cotton, sugar, and to bacco, equal, if not superior, to the finest portions of the southern country, and in quantities sufficient, should the Isthmus fall into the hands of foreign capital ists, to injure seriously, if not destroy, the American trade to Europe; the existence of an excellent harbour on the Pacific; a magnificent river on this side, navi gable for 30 miles for snipi; a salubrious and healthy climate ; the close proximity of the Isthmus to the United Stares ; the saving of two thousand miles in the voyage to California ; the control of the entire India trade, and the market which the States of the South and West must have for their produce on the shores of the Pacific—it is plain, then, that the inva sion' of the Isthmus, so liberally imputed to the engi neering party, has been attended with some good results, and that Tehuantepe© possesses immeasurable advan tages over the pestilential climate, spongy morassss, and barren heights of Panama, or the stagnant lake of Nica ragua. " The action of the late Mexican Congress, in refer ence to the Tehnantepee route, is due to the influence of the ,members from the States of Vera Crux and Oaxaca, who oppose it on the ground that they are not likely to reap any benefit from it—in other words, the decline of their capitals is but too plainly de picted in the approaching reality of the great dream which Cortez had centuries since. Every effort, therefore, has been strained to avert this blow, and even the people of Sovora and Tamaulepas have been humbugged into the idea of railroads there, to secure their opposition to Tehuantepec. And yet with all your want of an extensive and abiding faith' with regard to the practicability of their project, their resist ance to the Isthmus route is sure evidence of its feasi bility and importance." The English Funds are very weak this morning, and there is scarcely any business doing. This, indeed, ap pears to be the only cause of the existing heaviness, for the unfunded debt is higher, showing money to be less in de mand; the weather is fine and the Foreign Exchanges are expected to go higher to-morrow.

Foreign Securities are affected by the settlement of the account, which takes plane to-morrow, end by the arrangements kr " carryingt:over." The making-up price of Mexican was put as low as 28i, but the specu lators grumbled sadly at this, and we believe the committee have since altered it to 29. Certainly the public who deal in these things are made to suffer pretty severely, and at the option of a few jobbers, and we cannot woa der at the disgust they are unmistakably evincing for a security that can be so" banged." The want of candour on the part of the Mexican authorities, the with holding of information as to the amount of du ties pending, leading to the fear that the urgL . nt wants of the Government may have led to their being discounted, the certainty of dull trade and small duties until October, and the official declaration of the Finance Minister that the Treasury is utterly impoverished, have all combined to dishearten those who entertained good, and who thought especially that the remittance on Saturday last for the dividends would have been 150,000 to 200,000 dollars, instead of the paltry 30,000 dollars that came to hand. Still we would counsel holders in their disappointment not to forget that the price now is getting low, 294- to I, with the in demnity money included, being, even it Mexico pays only 2 per cent. on the orginal capital, a fair value.

BARKER AND OTHERS V. KENNETT. The plaintiffs in this actio❑ are well-known news and advertising agents, and the defendant was connected with a parcels delivery company. The amount sought to be recovered was 541. 9s. 54 for advertisements in serted by defendant's order in the London and country newspapers. Defendant had given a bill of exchange for a portion of the amount, but the bill had been dis honoured. Mr. WALTER WHITE appeared for the plaintiffs, and adduced evidence to prove the orders and the insertion of the advertisements. Tho Learned UNDER-SHERIFF asked whether there was any additional charge upon the amount actually paid for the insertions? Mr. WHITE said that 10 per cent. was charged, and in a case before Mr. Baron Martin it was held that, where there was a risk of a lengthened credit, 15 per cent. was not an unreasonable charge. Plaintiff did not charge interest on the bill, and the jury gave a verdict for the full amount. GOODMAN V. CRESSWELL. The plaintiff in this action is the proprietor of the Boar and Castle Tavern, Oxford-street, and the defend ant is a gentleman residing at Folkestone. The amount claimed was 91. 17s. 5d , for a bill incurred by defendant during a recent sojourn in the " great metropolis." Mr. TuomPsoN, Sise-lane, appeared for the plaintiff, and adduced evidence to show the ordering and delivery of the viands, but a question arose whether the order given by the waiter at the bar could be construed into an order by the defendant; but it was shown that, by the methodical manner in which the accounts were kept, the waiter proved each order, and that he saw every iteni inserted in the book before he lett the bar. Mr. THOMPSON thought that more conclusive evidence could not be adduced. The Learned UNDER•SHERIFF said it was not often that hotel bills could be so clearly made out. The jury gave a verdict for the full amount. LEGAL EXPEDITION.—" The delay of the law" bets often been the subject of complaint, and again occasion• ally it has been insinuated that the law is rather too fast;" but in this court it appears that both law and justice is administered without unnecessary delay. The Court sat at eleven o'clock as a county court of the sheriffs of Middlesex, and divers nobles and others of lower degree were called upon by Mr. Hemp, chief officer of the Sheriffs', to surrender, or in default to be declared outlawed. Four cases were tried and decided, and the court was cleared in less than half an hour, everybodf apparently being quite satisfied; even in one case, where the defendant's attorney had resisted the claim as far as he could, he said he would not trouble the jury, and eat down expressing his feeling that he was " perfectly sedge fled" with the verdict of a British jury; but i f he had pleaded something else he would bale shown quite a different face on the matter. 00 0 of the jury asked what could have been done, be/ his inquisitiveness was suppressed, and the attorney resigned himself to a verdict with the same satistactioe as any gentleman whose doubts are likely to be resolved, by Mr. J. K. (inquire for addr ess a t M r . Cl ar k e ' s , Ole Bailey). MANSION-HOUSE —(THIS DAY.), Caroline Sheehy and Thom as Sh ee hy, b ro th er an d sister, both young persons, were placed at the bat before Mr. Alderman Moon, on a charge of stealing fa in silver, half a sovereign, a gold watch, a gold neck' chain, and a pair of gold bracelets, the property of Mr' Jacob Hamis, a ginger- beer manufacturer in Whit e ' street, lioundsditch. The female prisoner was a servant in the employ er the prosecutor, and on Friday night last was left to take charge of the house in the absence of her master and leis' tress. All the rooms except the kitchen were previously locked, and on the prosecutor returning home with his wife he was astonished to see a light in the bedroom. ° ll knocking at the door the light was immediately extio . guished, and when the prisoner was questioned on tb subject, as soon as she opened the door, she said she had gone there for the purpose of getting a clean tablecloth for the kitchen. No sooner, however, had they entered the house than she ran off up the street, withot bon' net, shawl, or cap, and succeeded is escaping, i l3 consequence of there being a great crowd In the neighbourhood. The prosecutor subsequentll found that the bedroom door had been forced, and the articles mentioned above abstracted from a chest 01 drawers which had also been forced. Until yesterday she had escaped detection, but on that day her mistress, , who suspected she would g o by vesse l t o C or k , procee ded in company of a police•officer to the wharf near Tower' hill, and on their way happened to meet her in th e street. She was of course taken into custody, and on being searched all the property was found upon her person with the exception of the bracelets, which she had pledg e d for 305., the duplicate being in her p oc k e t. It app that they were pledged at a pawnbroker's in the Edg e ,: ware-road, where the prisoner stated she bad been o n ; by her mistress, Mrs. Hamis, in order to get sol o money on them. The only evidence agai ns t the rat e prisoner was that he had been seen loitering about tm a house for several evenings prior to the robbery, and ba in his possession at the time of being taken into caste'', the gown worn by his sister when she decamped on Vr y day evening. Mr. Alderman MOON said he would remand the 05se :: until to-morrow, in order that f ar th er ev id ence m ight procured as to the male prisoner's participation in 04 ' robbery. MARLBRO'-STREET—( THIS DAY'? EXTENSIVE ROBBERY OF FIIRNITURE.—Ann Slrice land, a well-dresseu woman, was placed at the barb tore Mr. Bingham, charged with bein g c oncerne d t ' her-husband, who is in custody, and remanded till to' morrow, in robbing Mr. Richard Turner, of 75, Mar k. lane, of property to the amount of 3001. Mr. Henry Collins, auctioneer and valuer, 51,Brevve r i street, Golden-square, said the prison er was t h e w ife ; a prisoner who stood remanded till t o - morrow, o n I'7 charge of stealing from a dwelling-house in King-stral St. James's-square, a quantity of f urn it ure , cons i s ting a four bedsteads, four beds, and other articles, to the Yal L tle . of 3001., the property of Mr. T urner , w h o h a d p l ace d ti"; prisoner od iintgheerhs,osuhsee ainndquhoesrtiohnu.sbtoandrecbeeiivne t he ren from the a n ow eer g through motives of c h ar i ty, to receive a certall: remuneration for so d o i ng .

Mr. BINGHAM said, he could not put such a questiout but he would ask her presently if she had anything W say. cro Mr. Collins)—Can you show any act on tl iG part of the prisoner touching the removal of the furnittirot done in the absence of her husband?

She returned to those lodgings atter her husband was remanded fre o2 this court. The prisoner said she left her lodgings at Clapbans,. with a view to get others, but as there was little or 111_1, f urn it u re there she went away with the intention n' procuring some. Afterwards she returned to Clapharn% Mr. BINGHAM said it would be better, under the ci t ., curnstances, to order a remand un til t o - morrow , in orcle t that the prisoner might be brought up jointly with husband. Meanwhile she might consult her legal a visers. He (Mr. Bingham) would take bail for her AP" pearance to-morrow. Prisoner said she could not procure bail, and she ba d no legal adviser. She was then removed to the lock-up cells is the M il of the court. SOUTHWARK.-(THIS DAY.) A few days ago Mr. Church, the solicitor to the Soul!, Eastern Railway Company, attended before the rc a gr; trate at this court to apply for a summons Bpi° . Lieutenant Bradshaw, of the Royal Artillery, for mating a violent assault upon one of the guards tackled to the company, named George Richardson, W.lllO in the due execution of his duty at the .London-bridg terminus of the railway. After hearing the statement (;:i the guard, which showed that he was roughly treste without the least provocation, the magistrate 0 11 .10 dine) granted a summons, which was placed i n ' hands of Guest, one of the summoning officers att ache d to the court for service, and today was apP nieSe s for the hearing. The officer, however, was ‘) able to serve the summons, owing to Lieutent,ll; Bradshaw not being placed in quarters, he i a il3 r only recently arrived at Woolwich barracks. Church accordingly attended, and said that the eon2ol°l, was determined to protect their servants from the II:ill, lence of persons who thought proper to attack thern,,, their mad treulic. He should, therefore, prase the co'd, plaint, and he had no doubt if the officer saw the 860 jutant, and explained his business, that that rnt lein a. would see the summons delivered to the Deus:olEl,o. Guest was then directed to proceed to Wo olwich morrow morning, and endeavour by all pos sible menu to effect a service on the lieutenant or the adjutant.
