Long and practical experience In the treatment of these diseases has proved that there are in exist ence secret causes of self-acquired miseries and disappointed hopes in existence, traceable to certain pernicious habits, to which Nervous Debility, various forms of Insanity, Unhappy and Unfruitful Marri ages, Impotency, Local and Constitutional Weakness, and their endless modifications owe their almost entire origin. It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are principles of personal management which cannot be violated without incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these naies may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its consequenc es may be avoided, and above all: that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure DOCTOR LA'MERT has for a long series of years been engaged in en extensive practice in the treatment of these delicate com plaints, and s the only legally qualified Physician who, regardless of the taunts and envy of the hypocritical and mock-modest, has had the confidence, through the medium of the public press, to direct attention to these enormous evils, from which no grade of society is tree. In selecting this department of practice, he has been amply rewarded by the great success that has attended his efforts in the treatment of these cases, which are too generally confided to the care of unqualified and ignorant enmirics, who, with their pirated publications, assumed foreign names and titles, and pretended virtues of their patent nostrums, have inflicted serious injury on those who have been induced to place faith in their pretensions.

LAW INTELLIGENCE NSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, AUGUST 3. (Before Mr. Commissioner Law.) JUDGMENT.-IN THE MATTER OF RICHARD DUNN. This insolvent who was opposed on the part of Miss Burdett Coutts, appeared to receive the judgment of the Court. Mr. Commissioner Law - asked the insolvent whether he wished to be sworn to his schedule in its then state ? sh T ee h t e . Insolvent said there was only the general balance-. Mr. Commissioner Law told him that that document was not sworn to. The Insolvent said, that as such was the case he would swear to the schedule as it was. The documents put in in evidence on the part of the op position and by the insolvent were handed by the officer of the court to the parties, and the insolvent was sworn to his schedule and executed the usual warrant of at torney. Mr. Commissioner Law p rocee d e d t o deliver the judg ment of the Court. The ins o l ven t, Mr. Dunn, was in custody on a ca sa. for cos t a ar i s i ng in an ac tion in which he did not proceed to t r i a l. H e had complained of the costs, and the manner in w hi c h j u d g ment had been issued against him ; but he (M r . C omm issioner Law) found no irregularity, and besid es , th e y re lated to mat ters out of his jurisdiction. The learned counsel (Mr. Cooke) for the opposition asked the Court to deal with the case for a debt improperly contractsd under the 78th section of the act. That section spoke of debts con tracted under false pretences, fraudu l ently, by means of a breach of trust, and without reasonable or pro bable expectation of payment. The first question was could it be a debt fraudulently contracted for costs in an action ? The case of an insolvent named Wolsey had been mentionckd Vjle_ unseL as one. p - oiht. - rn'r - tria CaieThe the commissioner) had com mented on the expression " debt incurred," and the same question had previously arisen in cases of persons who, coming a second time within five years, were, as the law then stood, obliged to show that they bad unnecessarily incurred debts. There was a case of that description where a plaintiff had incurred costs in contesting a bankruptcy, and the question was, had he incurred a debt? It was held, however, that one who had originated a question, and was in prison for costs, must be deemed to have contracted a debt. He might also mention the case of one Jacobs, who had brought some qui tam action for penalties, and he failed. The Court had held that a debt had been incurred with out reasonable or probable expectations of payment. There was also the case of Gomm, heard much earlier by the Court, in which the question as to costs being a debt was discussed, and there it was held that to incur a debt did not import bargain or agreement, but any matter in which a party got himself into debt. He (Mr. Commissioner Law) should follow, in the present case, the principle laid down in those he had cited, and should consider that Mr. Dunn had contracted the debt for the costs on which he was now in custody. The question was on what did his claim rest ? Was it on a false pretence ? It rested on an authority, as it was called, which he received on the 3d December, 1844, when he had been in prison for three years ; he had stated that he had first objected to receive the letter, which came by the post (which contained the authority) and pay the twopence. The postman, however, said that he had better take it, as it came from a lady, and there were three small seals on it. The authority was in verse, containing several stanzas, and signed " A B C." The words on which the insolvent had drawn the draft for 100,0001., 18 months afterwards, were— " Send to Contts your bill, there's lots in the till, I'll give the clerk order to do it:' And also the words _ " Fill a good round sum in, as I've plenty of tin To make you a fair compensation." In that poetical effusion Mr. Dunn was addressed as a " dear pet," a " lover," and as a " jewel." At this time the insolvent had been amerced in law costs, and was in custody at the suit of Mr. Alexander, a friend of Miss Coutts. However, it was alleged, notwithstanding that fact, that it was supposed that the lady had grown tender, and had sent him the poem. It would in his (the commissioner's) opinion be an insult to common sense to consider for a moment whether Miss Coutts had ever written that authority. The question was, did the insolvent believe when he brought the action that she had written it ? The insolvent had never been in her company except in a court of justice—had never heard the sound of her voice except in a court of justice, and had never seen her write except in a court of justice. Never had he had any communication with that lady, or a word of her writing, and she had wisely left everything in the hands of her friends and her solicitor. In the year 1838 the insolvent addressed letters to her—a most impertinent and improper proceeding ; and when she went to Harrogate in that year, he went down, to her great annoyance. Mr. Marjoribanks was sent for, and he was committed to prison. Afterwards he annoyed her in London, and she kept the police in her house. Mr. Dunn was committed by the justices in London, and afterwards discharged by the Court of Queen's Bench. In 1840 Mr. Dunn was one day given in charge by Mr. He during a s s u toh i t. that p e r i od received i He edv hp e Alexander. He sued that gentleman, and in May, 1841, being in prison, he was detained for 801. 18s. costs at his rema ined loeti wrote ea i i n custodyletters addresses, anduat to 0t wltBoh4es po em s ea lady.mnd written by him had been produced. The Insolvent interrupted the learned commissioner, saying only one. Mr. Cooke said there were two. Mr. Commissioner Law observed there was the " Vision " and another. One was admitted, and the other was in his hand-writing. The letters contained three principal points written by the insolvent while he was in prison. One for his discharge, another applica tion for money, and the third was his affections. The Insolvent (interrupting) said he had never made an application for money until she had sent him a letter, in which she spoke of money as a compensation. It must not be represented that he had attempted to extort money. Mr. Commissioner Law proceeded with the delivery of the judgment, remarking that he was not going to say that it was the leading topic of the letters. In De cem ber, 1844, was a letter he had written, prompted, it was alleged, by the receipt of the letter containing the autho rity, and it might be the only letter in which money ex was mentioned (Mr. Cooke said there were three). That travagantly absurd effusion stated that 5001. and 6001. would be sufficient, and asked to draw on a clerk of the bank ; and the other letter was, that he shoul d a pp eal to the Court of Bankruptcy. In April, 1845, Mr. Dunn obtained his discharge from that court, which he might have asked for in 1841, and only Lad himself to blame found, that for remaining so long in prison. They nex t t on the in 1846 he expressed his det ermination to ac 1844. He power contained in the stanzas he received in had not mentioned that authority his schedule 1 d filed in outed the the Court of Bankruptcy , be cause he then 846, b finding validity of the instrument. In January, many ancient Royal chart ers in verses we r e held to be • valid, be thought he w ould a pp l y to the t ill at t 49 , Strand ' ush it he wrote to the ba nk that he did not wish o t c e r_ it on , but he filled a good rou nd sum in, and presen d the 4th March, 1846. Not receiving the 100, 0001. on the 31st March, he made his affichvit in bankruptcy to obtain a summo ns a g ainst the lady, as trader debtor, and on that affidavit he was tried before Lor on d D e nman, in February , 1847, for perjury, an d being c victed be was sent enced to 18 months' imprisonment, l i and to find sureties for two years ; he was not released till August, 1850. The next act was the one which had brought him before the court. On the 25th November, 1851, Mr. Dunn brought his action to enforce his claim of 100,0001., founded on the bill he had drawn by the authority. He (the commissioner) bad to consider whether that proceeding was a false pretence, or had he at any time a belief in the authority on which he brought the action. He (the commissioner) had looked into the evidence, and could discover no fragEnent of fact or of a circumstance that could give him that belief. It was possible that a perseverance in wrong might induce a person to believe that lie had some pretence, but he could not make that excuse in this case, and there was no evidence that he had. The Insolvent again interrupted, saying he had acted bona fide on the authority. He said it was her hand writing, and he could prove it. He could have asked Master Bunce and other gentlemen when the proper now residing at the house of Henry Witton Tyndall, in the borough of Birmingham, is not the person she has re presented herself to be, as appears by the depositions of Richard Peyton, the younger, George Dawson, and 11. W. Tyndall "Sworn, Ste. " ARTHUR RYLAND." The plaintiff, in total ignorance of what was taking place, was at a party given by Mr. and Mrs. Tyndall, on the evening of the 29th of August. He was seated at the piano, playing some Hungarian music, when Mr. Tyndall came to him, and stated a gentleman wished to see him. When M. Moroda got out of the room he was taken into custody by two policemen, put into a car, and taken to the station. On asking what he was charged with, he was told he was worse than a thief ; he was an impostor. In the morning he was brought be fore the magistrates, but was discharged. Though what occurred to the baroness had nothing to do with the complaint of the present plaintiff, we may mention that that lady was taken from her room (to which she had retired, being ill) the same night at Mr. Tyndall's house, conveyed to the prison in Moor-street, and was locked up (as was Moroda) for the night. In the morning when about to be called before the magistrates she died. On the morning of the 30th, Mr. Toulmin Smith appeared before the magistrates on behalf of Dawson, to explain the reasons why the proceedings had been taken, but in consequence of the death of the lady the matter was not proceeded with, and the defendant was dismissed. The case for the defence, supported by the evidence of the four defendants and Mr. Hajnik, was, that there was reasonable cause for the proceeding, the evidence tend ing to show that the party calling herself the "Baroness" was in truth an adventurer, who had falsely called her. self the " Baroness." The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff. Damages 8001. EXTRAORDINARY AFFAIR IN MARYLEBONE, time had come. Mr. Commissioner Law remarked that the proper time was when this ca se was heard, and such an app cation had not been made. It was not professed to be asked for. The Insolvent said the case was pending in the other court. In November next, if it was in his power, he should attempt to get it tried. It had not been tried. He had the opinion of Lord Denman and three other judges that the authority was proceeded with the reading of his judgment. In weighing evidence it was necessary to consider what was in one scale and what in the other, but in this case one scale was full and nothing in the other— it was mere pretence, and no belief. When Miss Coutts and Mr. Marjoribanks swore it was not her handwriting, that point was settled. The Insolvent again interrupted. Mr. Marjoribanks had said be did not believe it was her writing. He (the insolvent) bad sworn that he believed it was her writing, and he still believed it. He would support that evidence. When she was asked in Guildhall to write, she refused to write. Mr. Cooke said it was not true. Miss Coutts was she was asked, but her counsel, Sir ready to write wh at Frederick Thesiger, refused to allow her. Mr. Commissioner Law remarked that he had got all the evidence. The Insolvent said, let truth go before t he public and he was satisfied. Mr. Commission er Law pmeeeded.

GEORGE DAWSON, HENRY WITTON TYNDALL, RICHARD PEYTON, AND ARTHUR RYLAND.—ACTION FOR FALSE IMPRISONMENT. (Tried before Mr. Justice Maule and a Special Jury.) Mr. Sergeant Miller and Mr. Field were counsel for the plaintiff. Mr. Macaulay, Q.C., Mr. Mellor, Q.C., and Mr. Hayes, appeared for the defendants. The plaintiff is the younger son of a noble Hungarian, who holds the honorary office of Equerry to the Emperor of Austria, as King of Hungary. He is a native of Pesth, and is now about 32 years of age. His education was at the military college in Vienna, and he afterwards served in the Austrian army. Quitting the profession of arms, he travelled through Germany, France, and Belgium, and ultimately found himself in London, at the time of the Great Exhibition. It was in the April of 1851 he first became acquainted with the lady calling herself the Baroness Von Beck. That lady, some short time before, had published, through Mr. Bentley, a book entitled "Personal Adventures of a Lady during the late War of Independence in Hungary." She had writ ten it in German, but it was translated into the English language by a gentleman of high classical acquirements, Mr. Garvey, student of one of our Inns of Court. The Baroness had sold the copyright for 401. M. Morods had met in France with an Irish lady, who, having read the book just mentioned, was desirous of possessing an autograph of . the Baroness. The Baroness had figured in the Hungarian war of independence, siding with her countrymen against the yoke of Austria. The plaintiff, at the request of the lady whose acquaintance he had made on the Continent, promised to procure the auto graph, and for this purpose obtained the address of the Baroness from her publisher. She was residing in a house in the neighbourhood of Soho-square, was in great distress at times, and the plaintiff, as a countryman, advised with and sometimes relieved her , in a pecuniary sense when his own slender finances would permit. The Baroness was about to publish another work by subscription, and for the purpose of collecting subscriptions she proceeded to Birmingham, armed with letters of introduction to certain influential persons in that town, given by Mr. Gilpin, the publisher, of Bishopsgate-street. The Baroness, who was advanced in life and in very delicate health, owing to an affection of the heart, was solicitous that M. Morodo should accompany her, as he spoke French fluently, which she did not. They went to Birmingham, putting up at the Clarendon Hotel. Messrs. Sturge and Southall were waited upon, and a prospectus of the forthcoming book produced, the terms being to subscribers 1/. 45., and to non-subscribers 1/. 10s. 6d. The plaintiff and the Baroness were re ceived very kindly by the different parties with whom they came in contact, and among others by the defen dants ; and Mrs. Tyndall, the wife of one of them, in vited first the Baroness to take up her abode in her house, and subsequently Morodo also. Up to this time all had gone well, but suddenly the defendants became impressed with a belief that the two were impostors, and under that impression went behind the backs of the parties before a magistrate of Birmingham (Mr. James), since dead, and made the following declaration : -- " Henry Witton Tyndall says :—On Sunday, the 10th inst., I called at the Clarendon Hotel, Birmingham, to in quire after the Baroness Von Beck. I saw a person who represented himself as her secretary, and on my intimat ing my desire to assist the Baroness Von Beck, he immediately left the room and soon after returned and in troduced to me and my wife (who was with me) a woman as the Baroness Von Beck. I told them we should be glad to assist them in obtaining subscriptions to the new work, of which I had seen printed proposals, and had ar ranged that my wife should accompany the Baroness the next day to obtain subscribers. On Monday, the 11th instant, hearing that she was ill, and that her medical man stated that the only hope of her recovery was her immediate removal to fresh air, and perfect quietness, I immediately made arrangements for her removal to my house. She came there on Tuesday, the 12th inst., and has remained there up to this time. She has told me that Kos suth was a dear friend of hers. I have repeatedly introduced her to my friends as the Baroness Von Beck. She cannot speak much English, but, I believe, understands English when it is spoken to her. I and my friends in Birming ham, upon the faith of ber representations, have procured many subscribers to her new work. I produce the printed proposals given me by her agent, Constant Derra. " H. W. TYNDALL. " Sworn at the borough of Birmingham, the 29th day of August, 1851, before me, James James, Justice of the Peace for the said borough." " George Dawson, of Birmingham, gentleman, says : Constant Derra was introduced to me on Wednesday, the Gth day of August inst. He represented himself to me as the friend and agent of the Baroness Von Beck, and in formed me that the baroness had published an account of the late war in Hungary, and was about to publish another account of her own life, and requested my assistance in procuring subscriptions, and arranged with me to introduce the baroness to me the following Friday at my house. On Friday, the Bth instant, Comon stant Derra came to my house with a woman, wh he introduced to me as the Baroness Von Beck. The latter presented me with printed proposals (which I now produce) for a new work—the story of her life—and requested my assistance in obtaining subscribers thereto. She ei stated herself to be a Hungarian , a nd an intimate fri e nd of Kossuth, and that her husband was killed at the barri cades of Vienna, in 1848. In consequence of these repre sentations I then paid to Constant Derra, in the presence of the Baroness, 11. 45., as my own subscription to the new work. On Saturday, the 23d inst., I paid to Con. , stant Derra, on her behalf: a further sum of 41.165., which I had procured from other subscribers to the same n ew work. Upon conversing with her I found she could not speak French ; and, as the before-mentioned proposals stated she had been brought up in the Court of Vienna, this greatly surprised me. I now believe that she is not the Baroness Von Beck. " Sworn, &c. " GEORGE DAWSON." i c Ri c h ar d Peyton, the younger of Birmingham, che mist, says:—On Saturday, the 9th day of August instan t , I was introduced to a pe rson calling herself the Ba roness Von Beck, as such Baroness, and to a young called Herr Von Derra , as her agent or secretary ol . ng l have man since seen and had conversation with them very fre quently, almost daily ; and in conversation with the said persons, the said baroness has represented herself as the Baroness Von Beck, and as an intimate friend of Kossuth. And the said Herr Von Derra, in the presence of the work, of which to m e said baroness, acted as her agen t, and h a s i printed proposals for the publi ca ti on of a w s I now produce a copy ; and, in conse quence of the repre sentations of the said baroness, that f. she was a friend of usitdh,plroapogrsealet,lantodtakpreocaorcoortho the book described in Kossuth, the names of several of my friends, and paid to the said He rr ofDAerraugofsotrthe baroness at various times since t h e 9th of inst . , sa i d the sum of 10/.165. for copies of the printed form of receipt whi c h I said bo o k. I pro d uce a Von Derra. received from the said Herr "Sworn, &c. , RICHARD " Arthur Rylad, o Birmingham, PEYTON, jtm." oath that from inquiries he entleman, maketh that the person caning herself mad e he verily believes Baroness Von Beck, and Yesterday Mr. Wakley held a lengthened inquest in. the Marylebone Workhouse, on Mary Anne Barnard, aged 21, housemaid, late in service at 22, Gloucester road, Hyde-park, and her newly born female child. Mr. Broughton, the magistrate, was in attendance to watch the case. John Simpson, private in the Coldstream Guards, stated that he saw deceased on Tuesday evening week, about ten o'clock, deliberately jump from the Park-road- bridge, Regent's-park, into the canal. Witness gave the alarm, but did not wait to see the body taken out, as he was late for barracks. John Chapman, 88 S, said that, having received in formation that a woman had thrown herself into the canal, he hastened with other constables to the spot, and seeing the bubbles created by deceased's struggles in the water, they quickly succeeded in getting the body out by means of a rope and hook. Perceiving symptoms of life, they immediately sent off for medical assistance, and in the meantime used brandy and friction, in the hope of restoring life. Mr. Allen, surgeon, quickly ar rived, as also did Mr. Head, who having ineffectually attempted artificial respiration, ordered deceased, who was far advanced in pregnancy, to be conveyed to the baths and washhouses, in the hope that a warm bath might save life, and accordingly she was conveyed there on a stretcher. But upon arriving at the gate they found it closed, when Mr. Allen and a constable got over the railings, and after much difficulty had the door opened, and the deceased was carried in and put into a warm bath, which failing in its object, she was taken out, and the child was removed from her by an operation. By the Coroner : Fully a quarter of an hour elapsed before they were admitted into the bath-room. De ceased had been in the canal about five minutes. Mr. Edward Head, surgeon, Park-road, St. John's wood, was called to deceased on the night in question, and, assisted by Mr. Allen, ineffectually adopted every possible restorative, whereupon they had the body con veyed to the baths and washhouses, thinking that a warm bath might restore animation. As soon as they were admitted to the baths deceased was put into a warm bath and there kept until all hope of saving her life was gone, when, as was their duty, they turned their attention to the saving of the life of deceased's infant, and for that purpose performed the Caesarian operation, with the assistance of Mr. Fuller. After being born it showed symptoms of life, but soon afterwards expired. By the Coroner : Had they had proper and timely as sistance at the baths and washhouses, he was strongly of opinion that the child's life might have been saved. But upon their arrival there they were refused admission, and thereupon a very angry altercation ensued, when Mr. Foote, the superintendent, struck Mr. Allen, who resented the insult ; after which they were admitted. While they were performing the Caesarian operation, cold water was allowed to flow to such an extent into the bath that it overflowed. After the birth of the child they required warm water to put it into, which was tardily supplied by Mrs. Foote, who nearly poured the scalding water upon witness's hands and the infant, and upon being remonstrated with for such conduct, she said it would be a good job if it scalded him, and also said it would be well if the infant was dead. While they were performing the Caesarian operation, the superin tendent even went to Mr. Broughton, the magistrate, to get his advice, and upon his return informed them that Mr. Broughton said that they should have taken the mother to the hospital. Witness never beheld more in humanity nor experienced more incivility than were be trayed by Mr. and Mrs. Foote, who even accused the medical men and the police of drunkenness. Mr. Allen. surgeon, fully corroborated the previous witness, as also did Mr. Fuller, with the exception that he did not speak as to the infant having lived. Mr. and Mrs. Foote and one of the attendants ad mitted the delay and assault at the gates, attributing the former to the establishment having been closed at that hour, and charging the medical men with the latter. Sarrah Farringdon, deceased's landlady, said the de ceased, who was in a very distressed state of mind in consequence of her condition, had some time ago said, " I think I will make away with myself," of which wit ness took no notice, as she thought it an idle threat. On the evening of her death she left home in apparently good spirits. Mr. Squires, house-surgeon, performed the post-mortens examination, and found that the mother died from drowning, and that the infant had been born alive, but he could not say what caused its death. Other witnesses having been examined, The Coroner elaborately summed up, observing that the condifct of the officers at the baths and washhouses in obstructing three medical gentlemen in their humane efforts to save life was inhuman in the extreme. As regarded the birth of the child, he did not think it pro bable that it had a separate existence from the mother. The jury, after a short consultation, returned a ver dict to the effect " That the deceased, Mary Anne Bar nard, destroyed herself by drowning, but there was no evidence as to her state of mind ; that the deceased child was removed from the mother, but whether the child lived after such removal was not proved." The jury begged to add their high approval of the conduct of the medical men, and their regret at the obstructions received in the performance of their duty at the St. Marylebone Baths and Washhouses. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. ST. HELEN'S The half-yearly meeting of this company was held on Tuesday at the railway station, St. Helen's, Mr. G. Greenall, M.P., in the chair. The report stated that the traffic returns for the past half-year showed an increase of 4,0 the 00. over increased the corre sponding period of last year,while ex penses had been 1, 6411 ., and the additional charge for interest on loans and preference dividends 3,1171. The increase in the amount of capital on which interest and dividend are charged to revenue is 179,638/. over the amount ofor charged revenue in June, 1852. The gross ti to ° half-year amounted to 23,6451., and the working reven charges, rates, and taxes to 8 , 5291 ., or 36 per cent. of the receipts, leaving a surplus of 15 , 11 5/. From this sum is deducted 2,922/. for interest on loans, 3501. ren ewal of permanent way, and 1851. for additio na l works, leaving 11,6571., to which is added 796/., the balance of the last account, making 12,4531. Out of this sum is deducted 11,8651. for dividends of 11. per whole share, 10s. per half-share, 3/. 10s. per 1001. preference share, 15s. per 251. preference share, and ss. 7d. per 41 per cent. share, leaving a b a lance for the next a ccount of 5881. On the 21st June last the Garston Dock was opened for traffic, and the directors are confirmed in their opinion as to its proving a most valuable part of the company's property. The act authorising the extensions of the line to Rainford and Eccleston coalfields has passed through Parliament, and now awaits the Royal assent. The East Lancashire Company have also succeeded in their application for an extension to Rainford, and have made arrangements for the use of the Lancashire and Yorkshire line from near Ormskirk to Southport. The execution of these lines will complete an efficient railway connexion between St. Helen's and Southport. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, congratulated the proprietors that the dock works at, Garston were nearly completed, and stated that he ex pected they would have a considerable increase in the traffic. After some observations from Mr. King, Mr. Fos berry, and Mr. Jack, resolutions were passed adopting the report—declaring the dividends stated therein—and re-electing the retiring directors and auditors. The meeting was then made special, and resolutions were passed authorising the directors to raise a n addi tional capital not exceeding 120,000/. in shares of 201. each, entitled to a preference dividend of 4! , , per cent. per annum, subject to redemption at par from and after August 1860. A vote of thanks to the chairman concluded the pro ceedings. BORDEAUX AND CETTE; A special meeting of the shareholders of the defunct railway company under the above name, was held yes terday at the London Tavern, for the purpc . sse of prose cuting their claims to the return of the remaining moiety of the caution mone y , the possession of which is retained by the French G ov ernment ; Mr. Alderman Salomons wa s in the chair. The CHAIRMAN said, the last time the shareholders riot together was i mme di a tely after the French govern- Mr. Commissioner Law said he should go on when the interruptions were over. The Insolv en t d ec l are d th a t h e wan t e d th e facts to go forth t public.commissionerT h The commissionerhad the tr u s: h i d . there Th e was a trial when th ere h a d b een no tr i a l. He had a witness the h let truth must go forth to the public if justice was to be done. He read the affidavit he had made in his appli cation before Lord Campbell. Mr. Commissioner Law continued his judgment. There was no witness for the trial to prove that it was Miss Coutts's writing, and there was no witness now. All the evidence was on one side, and there was not a circumstance of pretence that he believed it was in her handwriting. When that authority came he had been three years in prison for his offensive conduct to the lady. Did that speak his belief. He said he sent a letter in reply, full of gratitude and enthusiasm, and he said he believed it was genuine. It was possible that some of the inmates of the prison had played a hoax upon him, and had a momentary laugh at his expense. Could he have be lieved after waiting so long that it was her writing ? It was impossible. There was internal evidence to the contrary. The word est satisfaciendum, would show the mind of a lawyer ; besides, there was an infusion of vulgarity, to show that it did not come from a well-edu cated woman. There was, in addition, as much ridicule as sympathy in the stanzas. Could he have deluded himself into the belief that it was her writing ! He had a verdict of a jury when he was indicted for perjury, and yet in November, 1851, he brought his action for 100,0001. He (Mr. Commissioner Law) had held his mind clear, and for six years no spark of evidence had been produced that could give him a pretence to believe for one moment that it was in her handwriting. The case was one, in his judgment, of much aggravation. It was sad to reflect on the power of one person to inflict so much molestation, without any provocation, on a lady, annoying with his inivertinent attentions one who suss an.ntter stranger to hun, outraging all decency of conduct—first by his letters, and then by his appearance ; and towards one whose exemplary life had procured her the esteem of all who knew her, for she was a lady who went about doing good without ostentation. (These re marks called forth marked approbation from a crowded court.) His honour concluded with a few observations that the insolvent had brought upon himself his loss of li berty by a perseverance in an improper course, and the offence of which he had•been convicted he had now repeated by swearing to his schedule. It was deplorable to see one whose intelligence and energy might have procured him success in his profession in his present condition. Mr. Dunn was discharged as to all debts, except the one due to Miss Burdett Uoutts, and would be discharged when he had been in prison ten months from the vesting order. The Insolvent applied for the authority back, and for an allowance not exceeding 4s. a-week as provided by the act. He addressed the Court on these two points, and said he had as much intelligence as the commissioner. Mr. Commissioner Law refused both applications. An allowance was never ordered at the time of the adjudi cation, and the authority would be in court unless the assignee in the Court of Bankruptcy requested it. The Insolvent said if it was sent to the Court of Bank ruptcy he had no objection. be Mr. Commissioner Law ordered the n ext case to called on. The insolvent packed up his papers, and left the court with the officer of Whitecross-street prison. The judgment will date from the 24th June, and is entered for fraudulently contracting a debt. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. meat had determined to return half of IC.I caution money, and which they (the French government) wished to be understood must be considered as a payment in full. Against that the shareholders protested, and among other matters it was stated that a oommittee, which h a d inn. +^ ''ranee, under the shareholders' sanction, considered, received an assurance from 1 state that five millions of francs, which hau oven deducted from the new company incorporated to construct the Bordeaux and Cette Railway, was reserved for this company. Under these circumstances they thought it their duty to bring their case under the consideration of the French government, an d th.y passed certain resolutions, which they embodied in a respectfully-worded memorial to the Emperor of France. That memorial was sent over to our ambassador, Lord Cowley, whose kindness throughout the negociations had been everything- that could possibly be desired. His lordship strongly advised them to come to some terms, and, it appearing that it would be well not for those en trusted with the care of the memorial to go over to Paris unless the Emperor would receive them, they, after some consideration, Ut that the desirable course was to leave Lord Cowley to act at his, discretion in the matter, and he (the chairman) had received a letter from his lordship which led him to entertain no doubt the memorial had been placed in such hands as to ensure the presentation of it to the Emperor. Be this as it might, they had not received any answer to it ; and, acting under an opinion expressed by Lord Cowley, they had not asked his lordship to press for an answer. He (the chairman) thought that the absence of any answer left open the door, and that a favourable conclusion might yet be arrived at. fter some conversational discussion the cordial thanks of the meeting were given to Mr. Alderman Salomon' for the exertions he had made to promote the interests of the shareholders ; and he was requested to continue those exertions in conjunction with Mr. Kennard, the banker, and Mr. Field; the shareholders expressing their entire confidence in the zeal and ability of those gentle men. The committee were, by a separate resolution, earnestly requested to bring the claims of the share holders under the notice of the French Government. The Chairman was instructed to convey the thanks of the shareholders to Lord Cowley for his kind atten tion to their interests ; and at the conclusion of the pro ceedings the chairman took occasion to bear testimony to the very valuable services that had been rendered to the shareholders by Mr. Beke, upon whom, he said, he looked quite as much as his personal friend as their secretary.

In consequence of the rece ipt o f i n f orma tion of the intended visit of her Majesty to-day, the troops did not turn out yesterday, as was expected. Companies from each infantry regiment were, however, busily employed during the day in throwi ng up the redoubts which are to be defended and finally blown up in presence of her Majesty. The main redoubt is on a hill in Cattlin's valley, opposite the centre of the encampment. Relief parties of between three and four hundred men were engaged up to a late hour last night in completing the earthworks and mining the parapets. The whole of the bands assembled at eleven o'clock on the Magnet-hill, forming one monster military band of 280 performers, and played a selection of overtures and favourite airs in splendid style. Early in the next week it is expected that a grand military concert will be given on the occa sion of the visit of a number of foreign officers. Mister. day was remarkably fine, and the large number of visi tors present, the principal portion of whom were ladies, embraced the opportunity of promenading in Regent street, the fashionable and picturesque lounge which forms the main thoroughfare of the Guards' encampment. The horses of the 4th Light Dragoons are to be picqueted in the open air to-day, by way of experiment, the heat of the stables being found oppressive for the horses. It was at first intended to strip the stables of the canvass roofs, but it has been thought better to leave the stables standing as they are in case of wet weather, when their shelter would be necessary. The horses will be picqueted in rows in the same manner as in their present stables, being secured by their collar chains to ropes running through picquet-posts, and they will be located in the open spaces between the present stables. Lots were drawn between the 4th Light Dragoons and Bth Hussars to determine which of these regiments should adopt the new plan, and fortune favoured the former regiment. As an instance of the good feeling which subsists among the different cavalry regiments in the brigade, we may state, that an evening or two since, the whole of the non-commissioned officers dined together in the large suttler's tent in the rear, and leave having been kindly given by the Duke of Cam bridge, the festivities of the evening were continued until a late or rather to a somewhat early hour on ths following morning. .
