LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, June 18 . This was an actio: D n to recover damages for crim inal conversation with the E Sir F. THESIGER (with whom were Mr. Cockburn, Q.C., and Mr. Mellor) said, the action was brought to recover compensation in damages for one of the most severe injuries which it was possible for a man to sustain. The plaintiff was a commercial traveller to a respectable house in St. Paul's Churchyard; and the defendant was a builder, in an extensive way of business. Though this was not an action which was frequently brought by per sons in that class of life, the injury of which the plaintiff complained was, nevertheless, calculated to wound his feelings as deeply, and entirely to destroy his happiness and peace of mind. Indeed, to a person in the plaintiff's station of life, the society and assistance of a wife was, perhaps, even more essential than to persons who moved in a more exalted station. H e was obliged, from the very nature of his business, to be frequently away from home, and thus required, more than most men , the watchful care of a wife for the protection of his home and children. But all this he had been deprived of by the unrestrained conduct of the defendant. The plaintiff and his wife were nearly about the same age, and since their marriage they had lived together in a state of the greatest happiness and affection, and had three children born of the marriage. In April, 1846, the de fendant, who, he regretted to say, was a married man, and the father of two children, came to reside in Heath field-house, adjoining the plaintiff's residence in Elk ham-terrace, Islington. The plaintiff and defendant were entire strangers, but while the defendant was ab sent from his home on business, the defendant, in some way or another, introduced himself to the plaintiff's house on several occasions, when circumstances occurred which SN ould leave no doubt whatever on the minds of the jury that a guilty connexion had taken place between them. The Learned Counsel then stated the evidence as it was afterwards given by the witnesses; and called upon the jury to award such an amount of damages as would give to the plaintiff some satisfaction, however insufficient, for the irreparable injury which he had sus tained. Edward Gadsby examined—l am the brother of the plaintiff. My brother is 31 years of age; his wife is 26 They have three children. I always found them living comfortably and affectionately together. My brother is a commercial traveller, which called him away from home from time to time. I told him my suspicions in February last. He would not believe it. I and my brother married two sisters. He saw my wife about it, but even then he would not believe it. He was in great distress of mind. My brother has three young children, the youngest nine months old. The father of Mrs. Gadsby is a publican and a man of substance. Cross-examined by Mr. Sergeant SHEE—I live not far from my brother's. My father keeps the North Pole. File defendant's house is next door. I was there three or four nights in the week. I saw the defendant at the North Pole. Mrs. Gadsby kept my father-in-law's accounts. Mr. Esthall has lived there about a twelve month. He works for my father in-law, Mr. Elkham. I never visited the Esthalls. Never saw Mrs. Esthall at my brother's. I don't know that the children of the two families play together. I applied to the witnesses when my brother was obliged to go into the country, in Fe bruary. I have looked after my brother's interest, as I had a right to do. Re-examined by Sir F. THESIGER — EIkham-terrace is called after my father-in-law. Defendant is about 32. He carries on business i❑ the New North-road, at Fins bury, and at Peckham Rye. Mrs. Edward Gadsby—l am sister of the plaintiff's wife. I mentioned my suspicions to my husband. I never saw any dissension between the plaintiff and his wife. Cross-examined by Mr. Sergeant SHEE—My sister's husband is not intemperate, and he is of a very good temper. He is intoxicated sometimes, the same as other gentlemen are. Re-examined by Sir F. THESIGER—IIe is especially good tempered when he is intoxicated. Margaret Davison—l formerly lived at Mr. William Gadsby's, the plaintiff. When I went he had two chil dren. I don't know that the plaintiff knew the defend ant. I saw the defendant at my master's house twice before the sth of September, when Mrs. Gadsby was confined. I did not let him in. Mrs. Gadsby took him to the parlour. He remained two or three minutes. Mr. Gadsby was absent then. Mrs. Gadsby let him in both times. Mr. Esthall went into Mrs. Gadsby's bed room a few days after :the was confined. Ido not know how long he remained. Eight or ten days after Mrs. Gadsby was confined she sent me to fetch the defendant to come and see her. I showed him up to my mistress's bedroom. Mrs. Gadsby was lying outside the bed, dressed. The nurse was in the room with the baby and Caroline. Mrs. Gadsby told me to put Caroline to bed. The nurse put the baby on the bed and came out of the room. He was left there alone. I don't know how long he remained. Charles, Mr. Elkham's servant, once carried Mrs. Gadsby down stairs to the parlour. The defendant came, as he said, by Mr. Elkham's orders, and carried Mrs. Gadsby up to her bedroom. Next morning Mrs. Gadsby sent me to fetch Mr. Esthall to carry her down stairs. I gave the message to his sister, and he came at one o'clock and carried her down stairs. Mrs. Gadsby sat in the parlour, which has Venetian blinds and shutters. Mrs. Gadsby used to sit in the par lour, and would tap at the window, and then Mr. Esthall came to the door, and Mrs. Gadsby let him in. That happened half-a-dozen times. When Mr. Esthall went into the parlour, the shutters were closed, so that no one could see into the parlour. The defendant remained about a quarter of an hour. Mrs. Gadsby wore a minia ture likeness in her bosom. Frequently it would drop out, when she would pick it up and kiss it. This is the likeness. It is very much like the defendant. Six weeks after Mrs. Gadsby was confined I went into the country to Cuckfield with her. The defendant was at the plain tiff's about a week before that. He came at seven in the evening, and left at half-past one in the morning. I heard him come in. He remained in the parlour all the time. They had no tea. Mr. Elkham came over at about twelve o'clock. He called out to fasten the gate. Soon after twelve o'clock he came again, and spoke about the light in the parlour. Mrs. Gadsby:told him she was going to bed directly. He came a third time, when Mrs. Gadsby said, the children were ill, and she could not go to bed yet. The candle in the parlour was put out about one o'clock. They remained half-an -hour in the dark. Mrs. Gadsby sent me to see if Mr. Elkham was standing about. I went to the side-door and looked over the gate. I thought I saw Mr. Elkham. Mrs. Gadsby told me to see Mr. Esthall safe over the back wall. I saw him get over the wall. I twice took notes to the post to Mr. Esthall. Mr. Esthall took me and Mrs. Gadsby in his cart to the station at London-bridge. When he asked if there was any more luggage, she re plied, " No, dear." At Cuckfield Mrs. Gadsby went to the post• office and got a letter, which she opened imme• diately. The letter was on half a sheet of paper; it was very thick writing. This is like the letter. When we returned from the country Mr. Esthall's visits continued. They were in Mr. Gadsby's absence. On one occasion I heard them kiss. I left on my own accord. Mrs. Gadsby's dress was much disordered after Mr. Esthall's visits. That was after her return from the country. Sometimes it would sound as if they were romping. Cross-examined by Mr. Sergeant SHEE—I knew Mrs. Esthall. She came sometimes once or twice a week. Mrs. Gadsby went to Mrs. Esthall's two or three times a week. Mrs. Esthall's little boy came sometimes. Ito is about two years of age. Mr. Gadsby did not go to to s e e two m o r r s t . hGre Gadsby s y times, Mr. Esthall's. Mr. and Mrs. Elkha n were at Mr. Gadsby's The parlour is nine feet above the area. I can't swear how many times I have seen Mrs. Gadsby tap at the win dow. lam sure of once. Mr. Esthall would p ass the bwahewn week. Mrs. was i E ll, st not hail m ca o m re e once . house in going to his business. Mrs. Gadsby had a miniature of her husband, but larger than that. It is the same colour. When Mr. Esthall got over the wall, I went round the garden to see if any one was at the windows. I was in the front kitchen by the dresser when I heard them kiss. The other servant's name is Smith. I told the attorney about the tapping at the window, but to no one else. Re-examined by Sir F. THESIGER—I never saw Mrs. Gadsby kiss her husband's miniature. By a juror—Mr. Esthall never visited when my master was at home. Mary Smith examined—l was servant of all work at Mr. Gadsby's. I was there only two months. I left on account of seeing Mr. Esthall there. I heard him fre quently kiss Mrs.Gadsby, when she let him in and when he went away. He came frequently in the afternoon. When Mr. Esthall was there I had to take care of the baby. I told Mrs. Gadsby that I would tell Mr. Gadsby about it. One day as Mrs. Gadsby was letting Mr. Esthall out of the door, the child said, " Kiss me, Mr. Esthall, as you kissed mamma." The child was never allowed to come up after that. Cross-examined by Mr. Sergeant WILKINs—I am a servant of all-work. I had been at Mr. Gadsby's two months when I began to differ with Mrs. Gadsby. Our difference was, Mr. Esthall. Mr. Gadsby complained of me to Mrs. Elkham. Mrs. Elkham told me so. Mrs. Gadsby told me if I was not comfortable I was to leave. My boxes were searched by desire of Mrs. Gadsby. I was out of place a fortnight, Mrs. Gadsby was sorry I made so short a stay; she wanted me to stop. Re-examined by Sir F. THEsiGER—My mistre: wished me not to tell my master that Mr. Esthall came every day, but only now and then. Elizabeth Harper—l am a monthly nurse. I nursed Mrs. Gadsby. She was confined on the sth of Septem ber. I never saw Mr. Esthall at the house before Mrs. Gadsby was confined. I saw him in Mrs. Gadsby's bed room on the Tuesday or Wednesday evening after she was confined. He had some brandy -and-water. On the Thursday after I saw him, Margaret Davison, and Caro line in the room. I think I left the room and went down into the parlour, but did not remain any length of time. The second time ho came Mrs. Esthall was with him. It appeared as if be had not seen Mrs. Gadsby before since her confinement. ned by Mr. Sergeant SHEE—Mrs. E s thall Cross-exami came twice. Mrs. Edward Gadsby came four times. Mr. Joseph Robson—l was partner with Mr. Esthall. My belief is that this is not his handwriting. Cross-examined by Mr. Sergeant SHEE—Mr. Esthall had work to do for Mr. Elkhan, and at the plaintiff's house. They were little jobs at intervals. Joseph Drain—l am a house painter.

GOLD, SILVER, DIAMONDS, PEARLS, and all the most precious and costly gems, are imitated to such perfection, that but very few uninitiated persons can positively tell a paste brooch or a ring from a diamond, the real pearl from the imitation, or German Silver from the genuine ; but put them into the hands of the connoisseur, how soon the delusion vanishes when he affirms they are but vile and base imitations. So it is with the most valuable inventions as well as stones and metals.

SOCIETY FOR THE IMPROVE MENT OF TILE LABOURING CLASSES. The third annual meeting of this society was held yesterday at the New Model Lodging-house, in George street, St. Giles's ; Lord Ashley in the chair, who was supported by the Bishop of London, the Bishop of Norwich, Mr. Evans, M.P., the Hon. and Rev. Montagu Villiers, the Rev. H. Dukenfield, &c. The attendance was respectable but not numerous. The CHAIRMAN opened the proceedings by stating that there were three points to which the society directed its attention at its establishment. The first was the allotment of land ; the second, the establishment of loan funds; and the third the improvement of the dwellings of the working classes. With regard to the two first, he was not able to say that they had accomplished much as yet, but with regard to the third a good deal had been done. There had been two lodging-houses opened in Charles• street and King-street, Drury-lane, and ho expected that the house they were then in would be opened on Monday next for the reception of the labouring classes. The Noble Lord, after pointing out the dangers which beset the labouring population who came up to this metropolis to procure employment, from the crowded and immoral places to which they were obliged to resort, said that those lodg • ing-hOuses were intended to obviate such evils, and he hoped they would yet become part of their parochial system. The Noble Lord dwelt at some length on the great benefits of the institution, and concluded by im pressing upon the meeting the duty and the necessity of supporting this society, calculated, as it was, to pro• duce such incalculable advantages to the labouring classes, and to promote the spiritual and temporal wel fare of their fellow creatures. Mr. WooD, the secretary, read the report, which was unanimously adopted, and the Bishop of London, the Bishop of Norwich, Rev. Sir H. Dukenfield, and other speakers having addressed the meeting, several reso lutions to carry out the objects of the society were agreed to, and the meeting separated. The house is calculated to accommodate one hundred inmates, each of whom will have a separate bed, and a separate apartment well lighted and ventilated. The charge to each person will be only fourpence per night, the rate charged at the ordinary lodging-houses, and from r the admirable arrangements made to insure cleanliness and comfort, we believe that the establishment will be ' seldom found to want its full complement of inmates. The never-failing effects of Blair's Gout and Rheu• matic Pills in curing every description of gout and rheuma tism, have secured to them a celebrity unequalled by any medicine of past or present times. They not only give relief in a few hours, where the patient has been driven nearly to madness by the excruciating tortures of this disease, but re store to perfect health in an inconceivably short space of time. They are equally speedy ;r d certain in rheumatism, either chronic or acute, lumbago, sciatica, pains in the head or face, and indeed for every rheumaiic or gouty affection : in fact, such has been the rapidity, perfect ease, and complete safety of this medicine, that it has astonished all who have taken it; and there is scarcely a city, town, or village in the kingdom, but contains many grateful evidences of its benign influence.

A TRAP NOR TRADESMEN, &c.—Satan, in the shape of an " accommodating" firm, has been sending circulars among our neighbours, offering the" temporary assistance" for a " moderate per centage." " Money or bills, to speculate or trade with," may be had to any rea sonable amount ; and borrowers may rely, with the most perfect confidence, upon every transaction being kept snug. The arch-fiend recounts every possible emergency in which a " merchant, manufacturer, tradesman, or private gentleman of respectability" may stand in need of a " bill;" and offers to take goods from his victims for conversion into money. A. more nefarious circular was never issued. There is roguery in every line of it. No honest man will hold a communication with its contrivers ; —to do so would be, truly and literally, to " sell himself to the devil."

A splendid take of salmon was, on Saturday, the sth instant, brought ashore on the south side of Pol- Marstaig, by Mr. Mackenzie and a party from Aviemore I nn . The part where the net was hauled is well known as the best situation in the neighbourhood. There have been: no extraordinary takes of salmon in the river Beauly this season, but they have been uniformly pro ductive, and the fish have run larger than in general ; so that the season may be considered, on the whole, an excellent one.

Ido not believe this to be his handwriting. I saw Mr. Esthall a fortnight ago, and in court to-day, but not in the King's Arms.

Sergeant SHEE then addressed the jury for the defendant, and said that the entire case IN as supported by the nursemaid, for he was sure that the evidence of the maid-of-all-work had bee❑ c3mpletely demolished by the cross-examination of Mr. Sergeant Wilkins. The Learned Counsel then commented upon the evidence of Margaret Davison, the nursemaid, and urged upon the jury not to pronounce a verdict against the defendant upon such slight evidence as that. The Learned JUDGE having summed up the evidence, the jury gave a verdict for the defendant. JUDGES' CHAMBERS, June 18. BRETIN V. BUNN. This case, which ;Ipeared — iiiYlie Sun on Wednesday last, was again brought before Mr. Justice Coleridge on Tnursday, after the hearing of the summons in " Bunn v. Lind." The application was on the part of the de fendant, for commissions to examine witnesses in Italy and France, and further, for a postponement of the trial. The matter was now discussed at some length. Mr. Lewis appeared as solicitor for the defendant, in support of the application; and Mr. Ogle attended as counsel for the plaintiff. The defendant had made an affidavit, setting forth that he could not proceed to trial without the evidence of Mademoiselle Taglioni, M. Adrian, and M. Petipa, and that they were resident abroad. On the other hand, the plaintiff made an affidavit, in which he stated that Made moiselle Taglioni, who had a residence at Corno, in Italy, had been announced to appear at her Majesty's Theatre, and was at the present period fulfilling an t e hte m h e a presentny time application b T a c he u sittings. ikt ,t c naw a ngads se s. hadmhTaa made bee e beenetonplaintiff delay madeen - n efbaet further rregetlengagement specialomsret enteredan jttue stated trial yi so m ecasethat r G by the defendant, a nd h a d now r the cause by the defendant, from whom he claimed nearly 5001. for salary; that he had, being a foreigner, to pay 2001. into court as costs by way of security ; and if the trial was postponed, it would entail great hard ship and expense on him; and that the witnesses whose attendance he required were connected with her Ma- jesty's Theatre and the Italian Opera, Covent-garden, and as soon as the season was closed, they would Quit England for some time. Mr. Justice COLERIDGE inquired, in the course of the case, whether the action could be referred? Mr. LEWIS thought not, remarking that there were other engagements which would probably depend on the present action. His LORDSHIP made an order for the commissions to issue, and for a postponement of the trial ; and, on his suggestion, the 2001. paid into Court by way of se curity was directed to be paid to the plaintiff. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. (Before Chief Justice WILDE and Mr. Baron ROLFE.) Ann Cleveland, aged 26. and John Hill, alias Dolly, who stand charged jointly with the murder of the illegitimate child of the female prisoner, were placed at the bar. Sergeant ALLEN, who was instructed to defend the fe male prisoner, applied to the Court to postpone her trial. He said, she was only committed for trial on the Bth inst., and he was informed by her attorney that he had not had sufficient time to prepare her defence, and if the trial was postponed, he expected to be able to ob tain the testimony of some witnesses which would be very material for her defence. Mr. BALLANTINE said he had been instructed by the parish to prosecute the prisoners, and of course the only object of those who instructed him was, that the truth should be ascertained. He had listened with anxiety to hear whether his Learned Friend stated any facts as grounds for his application, as in that case he should have immediately acceded to it. No such facts, how ever, appeared to be stated, and he would merely call the attention of the Court to the very lengthened in quiry that took place both before the coroner and the magistrate, at which the professional advisers of the pri soners were present. His Learned Friend Mr. Ser geant Allen had also been specially retained for the defence of the female prisoner, and he understood that all parties were in readiness to have the case disposed of that day. Mr. CLARIeSON said, that on the part of the male prisoner he should certainly object to have the trial postponed to the next session He was discharged by the magistrate, and was only implicated in the transaction by the verdict of the coroner's jury. Mr. Sergeant ALLEN said his application at present was, not to postpone the trial to the next session, but merely to a later jrriod of the present one. Uhler' Justice WILDE, after conFerziog with Mr. Baron Rolfe, said that the Court was always ready to listen to the application of a prisoner to postpone his trial upon the representation that he had not had sufficient time to prepare his defence, and would be particularly anxious to do so in a serious case like this ; but at the same time they must take care not to establish the bad prece dent of postponing trials without any fair or reasonable ground being urged for their doing so. All they had to act upon at present was the statement of the attorney that he might possibly, if delay were granted, obtain some evidence which might be useful to his client, which might be said in the case of every prisoner ; and under these circumstances they felt that all they could do was to let the trial stand over till Monday. Mr. Sergeant ALLEN said he believed this delay would be all that was required, and the female prisoner would be ready to take her trial on that day. John Gorman, 26; Denis Gorman, 20; James Co f fee, 27, John Gilbert, 23, and Catherine Gorman, 50, the mother of the first-mentioned prisoners, were indicted for feloniously cutting and wounding James Hubbard and Thomas Carmody, police-constables, in the execu tion of their duty, with intent to do them grievous bodily harm; and in other counts the intent of the pri soners was laid to be, to prevent their lawful appre hension. Mr. Bodkin (with Mr. Clark) conducted the prosecu tion for the Treasury ; Mr. Clarkson defended Coffee and Gilbert, and Mr. O'Brien defended the other pri soners. From the testimony of numerous witnesses who were called in support of the prosecution, it appeared that on the evening of the 24th of May, the prisoners, all of whom are Irish, were in a public-house at Pimlico, called the Flask, and a man, named Minter, who had formerly been pot-boy in the house, was also present. According to his statement, when he was about to leave the room, he was attacked, without any provocation, by two of the male defendants, and severely beaten, and when he got out of the house he obtained the assistance of the two constables named in the indictment, who accompanied him back to the Flask for the purpose of taking the per sons who had committed the assault into custody. The moment, however, the constables went into the room, they were attacked by the prisoners, who beat them violently, and eventually turned them out, and then barricaded the door. A reinforc ement of police was sent for, and the door was burst open, and a most desperate affray then took place, during which the prisoners made instru ments, and theapoker, quart t - a pots, r a e n c d eiv o e t d he v r e d ry ang se e v r e o r u e s jury, and were prevented from doing any duty for a consider able time. The conduct of the male prisoners appeared to have been most ferocious, and there did not seem to have been the slightestprovocation for what they did from the beginning to the end of the transaction. The Counsel for the prisoners made the only defence For them that the facts of the case would allow, and urged l t e h n a al though unjustifiable, he s t t ifia i e b r le r y d e u t c t t h h e a j d u r 3, certainly might been consemienostitouvsio ly believe that they were not actuated by the felonious in tention ascribed to them by the indictment, and merely convict them of an assault. Lord Chief Justice WILDE having left the case to the jury, they returned a verdict, finding the prisoners Guilty upon the third count of assaulting the constables with the intent to prevent their lawful apprehension. HIS LORDSHIP, in passing sentence, told the prisoners that he was of opinion the jury had come to a most hu mane decision with regard to their conduct. The male prisoners appeared to have acted in the most savage and ferocious manner, and the woman who stood in the posi tion of mother to two of them, instead of endeavouring to appease them, appeared to have rather excited them to persevere in their violence. It was almost a provi dential occurrence that death had not ensued, and it that had been the case, he did not see how they could have escaped a conviction for murder. Persons in their con dition must be taught that such violent resistance to the officers of justice would always entail severe punishment, and it was absolutely necessary for the protection of so ciety that this should be the case. He then sentenced James Coffee, who appeared to have been the ringleader in the affray, to be kept to hard labour for eighteen months, John Gorman for fifteen, John Gilbert and Denis Gorman, twelve months each, and the mother Catherine Gorman, three monthalimprisonment and hard labour. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. LAMBETH. Mr. James Dell Ewen, who described himself as a publican out of business, was charged before Mr. Norton with riding in a second-class carriage with a third-class ticket, and refusing to pay the extra charge of fourponce, from Barnes to London, on the Richmond Railway. A gentleman from the office of the solicitors to the South -Western Railway Company, after briefly stating the circumstances under which the prisoner had been given into custody on the night before, read from the company's Act a clause which empowered their officers to give persons into custody for wilfully and knowingly riding in carriages for which they had not paid the proper fare, and also enabled a magistrate to convict suc h persons in any sum not exceeding 40s. and ex penses. Practices such as those of which the prisoner bad been guilty were of frequent occurrence ; but still the object of the company was not so much to press for a penalty as to vindicate the power which the law had given thaw. Mr. Ewen—And my object was to vindicate the public; I disclaim selfish feeling altogether. Andrew Smith, a checktaker on the South-Western Railway, was then called, and deposed that on collecting the tickets of the train that leaves Richmond at half past nine on the night before, he found the prisoner, a lady, and a child in a second-class carriage, while the two tickets, which had been issued at Barnes, were for the third-class. He (witness) in consequence demanded Bd.; namely, 4d. each for the two tickets, which was the difference of fare; but the defendant refused to pay a farthing, and witness ultimately gave him in charge to the guard of the train. Mr. NORTON—Did he state the reason why he ob jected to pay the difference of fare? Witness—Yes, Sir. He said he had been put into the second-class carriage by one of the company's officers at - the Barnes station, though he (the officer) was perfectly well aware at the time that his ticket was for the third-class; but I knew this was impossible, and I told him I could not take his assertion as an excuse. Mr. Ewen—How can you say it is impossible, when I asserted, and am prepared to verify the fact on oath, that they have frequently—ay, times out of number, as well as on the present occasion—done so to me? I now wish you would explain to his Worship the difference be tween the second and third class carriages. Witness—On the third-class carriages the words, " Third-class carriages," are written in large yellow let ters, while there is no writing on the second-class. Mr. Ewen—Has it ever, or rather has it not fre quently, occurred, that third-class passengers are put into the second-class? Witness—Yes, it has, but that is only when the third-class are full, and an intimation is given to the guard of the fact when such a circum stance takes place. Mr. Ewen—How was I to know whether the third class carriages were full or not? I only told you what was the fact, that the company's officers had shown my self and Mrs. Ewen into the second-class, knowing at the time that we had only third-class tickets. James Lewis said he was guard to the train by which the prisoner had been a passenger on the night before, and heard the collector of the tickets tell bun that he would be at liberty to go on the payment of Bd., the dif ference of fare, but he refused to pay anything, upon which the collector gave him into his charge. In reply to a question from Mr. NORTON, the witness said there were two third-class carriages belonging to the train, each capable of holding twenty-four passengers, while the passengers in them amounted only to twelve in number, so that there was plenty of room left for the other passengers. Richard lose deposed that he was on duty at the Barnes station on the night before, and recollected giving out one first and two third-class tickets. The latter two were issued to the prisoner for himself, a lady, and child. Witness recollected opening a second-class car riage to let some passengers out, but could not say that he observed what class carriage the prisoner got into. He would swear, however, that he did not show him into the second-class, and the only person on duty there at the time besides himself was Clerk, one of the railway police. George Clerk, the policeman alluded to, deposed to having seen a gentleman get into a first-class carriage, and a gentleman and lady, the latter with a child, get into a second-class. He (witness) did not let the par ties in, nor was he aware at the time of the sort of tickets they had. Mr. Ewen—Now, if this case is not proved against me, will you not lose your situation for carelessness or neglect of duty? Witness—No; I don't think I shall. Mr. Ewen—Well, that is all I shall ask you. Mr. Ewen, in reply to the charge, said that he had been in the habit of frequently travelling by the Rich mond Railway as far as Barnes, since it had been opened, and his invariable practice was to go in the third-class carriages, as there was not in his opinion a shade of difference between them and those of the 'second class; but, as he had before stated, he had frequently, as on the night before, been shown into the second instead of the third without his ever observing it. Having heard many of his friends—indeed his own mother had been played the same trick—complain of being shown into the second-class carriages instead of the third, and then compelled to pay the highest rate for the journey, he had made up his mind that the very first time such a trick was attempted to be practised on him he should, upon public grounds, resist it. This attempt was made on the night before, and he had, as it was his determination, resisted it, and refused the addi tional charge. He had no desire to make use of fine phrases, but he must say that the power possessed by this and other companies of giving persons into custody, locking them up, and depriving them of their liberty, for the negligence, or it might be wilful misconduct of their servants, or for a few paltry pence, was quite un constitutional, and such as should not be permitted. His Worship heard the gentleman who attended against him say that this sort, gt practice_ was of frequent oc currence on the company's linc7orOir -. This he (Mr - . Ewen) thought an awkward admission, as it was calcu lated to lead to the inference that the company's servants or officers acted wilfully in showing the passengers into a second-Weer instead al a third *Joao aarriago,_ to that they should have to pay the difference of fare, and a great many fourpenceamight be- au, object to the com pany, which, like all others, - wai not very partial to third-class passengers._ In copplusion, he had only to express a hope that hiaCarship, taking the whole of the circumstances into consideration, would not consider this a case in which haled wilfully, knowingly and in tentionally travelled by a different class carriage than that for which he had paid, for the purpose of cheating the company. Mr. NORTON observed, that front Mr. Ewen's own ad mission of his determination to try the question with the company, he had intentionally gone into a second-class train for that purpose. The defendant's own excuse was, that he had been let into a second-class carriage by a servant of the company, the latter being perfectly cog nizant of the fact that his ticket was for the third class. Had he shown this, he (Mr. Norton) certainly should have dismissed the case; but he was, he confessed, some what surprised at finding, that while the two witnesses, who alone could be guilty of such an act, were under ex amination, he did not venture to put a single question to them likely to bring out the fact. Mr. Ewen—l could not expect that they would crimi nate themselves or risk their situations, and therefore I did not see the use of questioning them on the subject. The solicitor on the other side here said, that so averse were the officers of the company to detaining the pri soner, that they offered, upon his paying the Bd., to let him at large, and have the question settled by his Worship. Mr. NORTON ultimately convicted Mr. Ewen in the penalty of 10s., but subsequently reduced that sum to Is., which the defendant paid and was discharged. RAILWAY RETURNS.

A few prime herrings were caught on the hooks, early in the week. They were all used for bait. Several unsuccessful attempts have been made since. An effort will be made with nets very soon. We learn that what are called the " shore dues' trans " were sold at Fraserburgh, last week, at 19s. per cran. By the Fraserburgh Harbour Act, each boat pays, in name of shore dues, for the season, the first cran of herrings brought ashore by them, bringing no inconsiderable amount of revenue to the harbour. The purchaser, this year, is Mr. David Milne, fishcurer. Latest accounts from Stettin are a s hade more favourable. The potato blight ba d not made its apppearanoe, which had a natural tendency to raise prices. No decided re-action will, however, take place, until the season is so far advanced _as to enable parties to know de fi nitely th e result of that crop. Everywhere, along the east coast, preparations for the approaching fishing are being made, both by fishourers and fishermen. From p resent appearances, the number of boats fishing at the various stations will be under that of previous year s .—J o h n O'G roa t J ourn al. Dr. Gutzlaff records a remarkable effect of the British invasion of China. The natives expected that their idols would repel the invaders, but seeing them unable to make the least resistance, even to save them selves from the hands of an excited soldiery, veneration gave way to contempt. The idols having proved their ' worthlessness, the Chinese refuse to wor shi p them, and the shrines and the priests are deserted. FRIDAY NIGHT'S GAZETTh.

It gives a most lively idea of a soldier's life, of the ' exc it e ment of battle, and of the horrors that followed. It turns up new ground, as we do not think any narrative of a like kind has previously been given to the public, and well deserves perusal for the singularity of its heroine's history. for the adventures and perils it relates, and for the startling pictures of warfare it discloses.'-Britannia.
