ST. MARYLEBONE PROTECTION ASSOCIATION DINNER. The members and friends of the St. Marylebone Pro tection Association, to the number of a hundred, as sembled at the Eyre Arms, St. John's Wood, on Monday evening, to celebrate the success with which the local objects of the Association had been pursued, in the re duction of certain burdensome, unnecessary, and, it seems, illegal taxes ; and in the increase, at the same time, of the benefit which the public derived from better paving, lighting, and cleansing on the thoroughfares of the surrounding neighbourhood. Mr. Goslin, the active proprietor of the Eyre Arms, was employed as caterer for the cenvivialities of the even ing, and j u d g i ng b y w h at we saw, and heard,. and telt, Judging by our own satisfaction after dinner, and the expressionsswhich the like feeling drew from the other guests, a better choice could not have been made. The tables were laid out with great good taste, and after wards loaded with what could most agreeably meet a good appetite, and not offend a fastidious taste. In short, the dinner was capital, the wines very good indeed ; the puntuality and attention of the serviters all that could be wished ; and the toastmaster, Mr. Wheeler, will certainly add to his patrOns, by the excellent discharge of his office last night. Benjamin B. Cabbcll, Esq. was in the chair ; sup• ported by W. P. Carter, Esq., barrister ; Charles French, Esq., James Russell, Esq., William Collins, Esq., Jos. Angell, Esq., Alex. Ridgway, Esq.. Jos. Haynes, Esq., Captain Sparshott, R.N., Jos. Rawlins, Esq, bar rister, James Rusford, Esq., John Vandal!, Esq , and other gentlemen, sat down to dinner with their nume rous friends at half-past six o'cloek. After dinner the " Non nobis" was sung with good effect by Messrs. Packington and Wild and Mashes Cook. Then followed the canal toasts— " The Quen."—National anthem. " Prince Albert, Albert, Prince of Wales, and the Royal Family."—Glee, " Here's a health to the Prince and the Queen." " The Army and Navy."—Duet by Packington and Wild, " Oh give . me the tented field." Responded to by Captain Sparshott. The CHAIRMAN, in giving " Success to the St. Mary lebone Protection Association," said they had now come to the business of the evening for which he therefore begged the attention of the company, for although their meet ing had been of a convivial nature, he might with justice say that conviviality was not the sole object and had not been the sole result. He confessed he gave the toast with a feeling of mingled pleasure and , regret— pleasure because they had something as an association worthy to be protected—but of regret because that some thing which they held worthy was in danger and needed their protection. That aas their case then. In a fair country they hai equal rights and ought to have equal rates ; they bad met and asso ciated themselves to protect these equal rights and to destroy the very appearance of inequality. He said, after the parish of St. Marylebone began to emerge from the condition of a mere rural village an enactment was passed for the lighting, watching, and paving ; but as the suburbs extended it was found that a new rate for these thinly populated parts would be necessary. That was called, levied as a highway rate to the amount of 43. Another Act, however, the 35th of George 111 , was passed, increasing the amount of the highway rate to a stun not exceeding Is. in the pound. Ile begged the company's attention to the Act. It allowed of no rate exceeding one shilling, but in case the emergency required, it geve the vestry power to borrow, and accordingly, in 1822, when the inner rate was 25., the outer, or highway rate, was Is. But the reformed vestry, misinterpreting the Act, increased the amount of the imposition ; so that in 1844 with the go el accommodation, the rate in ether parishes was—in St. Pancras, 2s. 9d. ; in St. James's, 2s. 41. ; St. George's, 2s. 4d. ; St. Ann's, 24.4:1. ; in Msrylebone it was 34. Bd.—(Cries of " Hear.") And the difference between the outer and the inner district rate was only 8,1. or 9d. In these circumstances, when with increased taxes, and when the vestry actually resolved on ex tinguishing every alterrntte lamp, it was that a number of gentlemen had met in that room and as.ociat e d them selves to prevent so egregious an injustice. The Chairman proceeded at length to enter into details, and said the result, in the short space of two years, mainly thr.: ugh the exertions of the gentleman near him, their treasurer, Mr. Freeth, had been that the rate was reduced to its legal bounds of Is. He concluded by giving the toast coupled with the name , of Charles Fret-th, Esq., which was received with bumpers, and three times three. Song by Mr. Wild—" There's a land that bears a well known name." Mr. FREETLT, who was received with loud cheers, entered at length into the history of their efforts with the vestry, and made several statements relative to the local accommodation of the neigh bourheod, which were received with cheers, and on the ground of which he appealed to the gentlemen present to join the associa tion, and aid them to accomplish wh a t wa s still to be done. He concluded by reading a list of subscriptions to the funds of the associatien, on it Inch the chairman appeared for 51. ss. and Mr. Fret th 2/. Mr. RIDGWAY, as a Liberal member of the vestry, and a friend to the oh;ecte of the association, was favourably received by the company, who heard him make several exp'anations, and enforce the main object of the meeting. Both Mr. Ridgeway and the previous speakers eluded to Lord Morpeth's Bill as likely to work a favourable change in the metropolis, and ex- pressed their hope that every aid would bo rendered to pass it into a law. 'rite other toasts of the evening—" The Chairmin," " The Stewards," " The Visitors," and " The Ladies," were received with all the honours, and fullowad by ap propriate vocal music. The company at length dispersed in the highest fee lags of satisfaction. RAILWAY commirrEEs,i NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. (YESTERDAY.) WooLwlcu, APRIL 12.—The Black Eagle steads-ves sel, Master Commander S. B. Cook, was taken into the basin at this dockyard to-day to be exanaia( d, having gone over one of the buoys in the harbour on returning from her recent voyage to Sheerness with the lion. H. G. Ward, Secretary to the Admiralty. The Vixen steam-vessel is to be taken ont of dock to morrow, having undergone a complete repair and been the . former a wooden wholly The Riflemann w c op p a e n r e d d s o h n a r h p e s r h b o o o t t e t o r t . boat and the latter an iron boat, fitted with screw-pro pellers, were taken into the basin to-day, to be prepared for further experiments to ascertain the best description of screw-propeller, and the most eligible form of the vessels fitted with that invention. The Te az?r, woolen vessel. and the Minx, iron vessel, are also to be again tried, to ascertain their spe ed and qualities with various Forms of screw propellers. The Dwarf had nearly 50 trials with screw-propellers with the object of ascertaining the best mode in which,they entered the water on revolving, and every opportunity will still be afforded to test the invention to bring it to the greatest possible perfection. The Princess Alice, Dover steam-packet, Lieutenant Commander &riven, arrived at Woolwich to-day, and was taken into the basin to have some repairs made to the frame of her machinery. The Hydra steam-vessel, Commander Morrell, arrived at Woolwich yesterday, and will be paid off here. She has been three years and eight months employed on the coast of Africa. The Mastiff surveying -vessel, and her tender, the Woodlark, were taken our of the basin yesterday, and it is expected they will leave Woolwich on the 25th inst , to resume their surveying duties on the coast of the Orkney Islands. The Speedy, tender to the Blazer surveying vessel, arrived at Woelwich yesterday, to refit for her survey ing duties. The Blenheim, 72 guns, block-ship, fitted with a screw propeller, had her steam up to-day to try the cor rectness of the fittings of her engines, four of 115 horse power each, constructed on the locomotive principle, with a horizontal stroke, and by that plan an low as to be ten feet under the water-line. The water was let into the dock opposite the blacksmith's shop, where she is at present, and retained by the caisson after the tide had receded. The funnel of the Blenheim is constructed on the telescopic principle, and may be lowered to within six feet of the deck, and the steam.pipe for blowing off the steam may be made level with the deck. IntAligenee was received to-say at the Woolwich dockyard of the death of Commander Bremer, R.N., at Edinburgh, son of Commodore Sir J. J. George Bremer. K.C.8., and K.C.H., the superintendent here, who is at present in Devonshire, on leave of abience. HOUSE OF COMMONS. GROUP I. The Select Committee appointed to consider the merits of the Bills comprised in this group re-assembled in Room 30 this morning, for the first time after the ho lidays ; Lord Granville Somerset in the chair. THE SOUTH-HASTEN= SCHEMES. Mr. AUSTIN completed the case for these lines by putting in a number of returns and documents relating to the electric telegraph, and the passenger and parcel fares to be charged on the lines. Mr. AurrlN intimated that, now that the South- Eastern case was closed, according to the practice of Parliament, the time had arrived for going into the land holders' opposition. The CHAIR3IAN said the Committee were not disposed to pursue that course in the present instance. They had to decide between the merits of the two competing lines, and the Committee were of opinion that the case for the Brighton Company ought now to be gone into. He had, therefore, to ca ll f or the report o f t h e Rail-Nay Corn misioners upon these schemes. Mr. TALBOT replied, that as yet the report was in the bosom of the lion. Mr. Strutt. The CHAIRMAN said, the Committee then had no choice but to go on with the landholders'oprs! .c n Mr. TAL BOT said, all the returns had longt would since haveo.been made to the railway board, awl the report been laid upon the table of the House_3:est erday bad not the board fallen into the error of thinkingthat the Co mmittee would resume their labours on the 15th instead of the 13th. Mr. W. 0. STAN L}:4 said, before they went into the csses of the landholders he wished to have the room cleared. Strangers were accordingly ordered to withdraw, and the Committee having consulted together for a few mi nutes, the parties were recalled, when The CHAIRMAN announced that the Committee had determined to proceed with the opposition of the land holders, but the Committee thought it right to intimate that they did not wish to go into the case of any pro perty lying between Maidstone and Chart, as they were of opinion that no case had been made out to support the preamble. of the Bill fur making the line from Maid stone to Chary. LANDHOLDERS' OPPOSITION. Mr. MELLOR was heard in opposition to the North Kent line, on behalf of Mr. Itawson and the inhabitants of Bexley.. who-cornplained that their intere,ts 'would be serioady injurt'd by the construction of the proposed line. Mr. HOPE sta:e3 that Sir Percival Hard Dyke was in ntsg,otiation with th:! Sott:h-Eaetern Company, for de lusting their Lne so as to avoid the injury it wou'd do to Lullingatone Castle, but the arraogetneuts as yet had not been finally closed ; and he must, therefore, request the Committee to allow Sir Percival's case to be post poned for a few days. Witnesses were called and examined by Mr. Ta!bot ‘ to prove that the proposed Croydon and 13r,anley lice would totally destroy the property of Mr. Russell, merchant, of Croydon. _ _ gr. TALn.Yr was heard on behalf of Lord Bexley, who complained 01 the injury the Ad-if.tut line would it.flict upn his property at Foot's Cray. Several other landholders' eases were gone into, but it Wai elicited that ti,e injury d.,ne in each was matter fur pecuniary conip,nsation. The Cuenitie, Rdrurncd shortly after four ck.

LIGHTHOUSE ON CAMPANULA, NEAR THE ISLAND OF CAPRI.—A lighthouse has been erected by the Neapoli tan Government, on the Point of Campanilla, eastern point of the channel between the main land and Capri, in lat. 40 deg. 34 min. 11 sec.

The height of the light from the kvel of the sea will be 90 palms (about 77 feet), THE MUSH CHARACTER. The dismal monotony of our Irish intelligence is agreeably relieved this morning by a very unexpected novelty. It is absolutely startling in its extraordinary siligulerity. A Roman Cathnl;c clergyman, in a discourse from the pulp - t, is reported to have lectured his flock upon their ignorance and indolence. His language is nothing short of high treason against the Irish character : —" Interested and designing knaves," says this apostle of truth, "have told you you were the finest peasantry on earth ; the: e who told you so were impostors. You are a patient people, warm-hearted and religious ; but you are an unenlightened people, not half educated, and very few degrees removed from barbarism. . • . The time is arrived when you must help yourselves, and the first step to that is to till the ground. . . . Sympa thising rations feel your sufferings, and are ready to as sist you. But if you do not shale off this apathy, this torpor, which seems to be taking possession of your very souls, and do all in your power to produce food for the next year, instead of exciting their sympathy, you will arouse their contempt, and you will become a byword to the nations of the earth, as a lazy, indolent, mean people, who would rather trust to the bounty of others than exert themselves." The place where this unparalleled audacity was perpetrated is 'Crake, an assize town a few miles north of the Lakes of Killarney, but situated in a poor and ill-cultivated country. The very Reverend Dr. M'Enery was the perpetrator, and his name deserves to be enrolled among the benefactors of his country. His conduct shows to us like real heroism. Dependent upon the good will of the people, he does not flinch from setting before them the most unpalatable truths. The mass of mankind in all ages and in all countries has loved dark ness rather than light. Populas cult decipi. The passion is eternal an-I universal, in the democratic assemblages of the Athenian forum and the king-loving demonstra tions on the Irish hills. Individual vanity working in the aggregate and calling itself patriotism —to this the mob-orator must appeal, flitter, cajole, and keep the flame alive. All who trade upon the sympathies of the people, whose stake is popularity, who live upon com mon fame and reputation, whose dependence is on the many headed monster, who exist only in the smiles and would perish by the frown of the capricious multitude—to all such—and how many are they in Ireland !—truth is forbidden, honesty is a luxury bs youd their means, and integrity a thing impossible. They are the victims of circumstances. It is a struggle crith them between conscience and prudence —a per petual conflict between firmest impulse and sordid in terest. A strife of this kind can never have but one termination. It is too strong for the weakness of hu man nature.

LORDS BROUGHAM AND CAMPBELL, AND THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON, IN THE HOUSE OF LORDS.—He seems endowed with a superhuman activity; not for two minutes can he remain still in one place—now 'tis the Lord Chan cellor he is pushing from the woolsack—now the Great Duke that he rouses from the state of torpidity into which he falls in the House. Noble Lords seem to look upon the ex-Lord Chancellor, as be glides in and about the apartment, with much the same feeling as they would watch the electric eel swimming his dismal round in the tub at the Polytechnic. If he were touched, he would doutless snap with a blue spark, and give a pretty : tolerable shock. In strong contrast to Brougham is Lord Campbell, his eternal and relentless enemy; in fact, his Old Man of the Sea, who he is ever endeavour ing in vain to shake off. If the one gets up and makes a statement in his usual brilliant but discursive style, the other is sure to fallow close upon his heels, and, in his coarse Scotch accent, to come down with a cold- blooded calmness upon its most unguarded points. To the excitable Brougham this continual galling mast be almost maddening ; he turns now and then upon his enemy, but, alas ! Campbell, like the English at Waterloo, knows not when he i s beaten. We have spoken of the Duke of Wellington's apparent torpidity in the House—torpid is scarcely the word ; he seems to be iu a deep slumber, his chin !eating upon his breast, his arms crossed, and his legs crook-id together ; he looks the very picture of an old —very old man. The Great General, how f" an appearances, is wakeful enough ; not word that his' deafness will allow him to hear r ° l - a r t r atttrent o f f acts set by so4lc4lme viain is he will p rove b y start i ng up, an d Lord in mid- e right some Noble from his manner, thatilight.

ThZ means of properly heating and ventilatinee the house appear to have received due attention. llot-air stoves are fitted up under the pit stalls, with flues to conduct the warmed air over the house ; and every gas lamp in the corridors has a ventilating.pipe above it. On these, and some other points, however, we reserve Orr opinion, not venturing to form one hastily.

As to the general safety of the building, notwithstanding- the rapidity with which the works have been carried on, they have been done in the soundest and most substantial manner, and so as to entitle Mr. Albano, the architect, and all con cerned in them, to great praise. As regards the con veyance of sound, we are disposed to consider the new opera-house singularly successful. During the perform ance we visited every part of the .om the house, stag and f ound in every place that the lott o..t sound fr om 'distinctly audible.— The Builder.

The race was as fine a one as ever was seen. The course, which was situated near the Croix de Berny, consisted of two small circles, connected together by a long straight piece of country ; the circle next the as in ning -post was along the side of a hill, and could all be viewed by the spectators. Right in front of the a inning post was the brook, the great leap of Ile day, and after the horses had cleared it they went up the country, rounded the other circle, and came straight home. At starting Matchless touk the lead, Gaz .ly second, St. Leger in the ruck behind. At one of the fences in mounting the side of the hill, Switcher refused, but his rider driv ing., hi.n at it, forced him through. They then all came down the bill nearly together, having to clear four or five fences ands wall in their way. Discount was first over the br , ok, Matchless second, St. L .ger third, Switcher's hind legs caught in the bank, bat his rider got him up cleverly; I.lack and his rider fell in and lust all chance. They then drove along up to the circle, being for a while lost sight of by the spectators. 'When they appeared again they were nearly all together, and seven of the horses were over the last leap within a few seconds of each other. St. Leger, and Young Lottery, and Discount were all on a line. The two former got a little in advance just at the finish, and finally St. Leger, after whip and spur were plied, won by a neck.

The Duke de Nemours arrived just as the race had concluded. The crowd was immense, and the number of carriages greater than last year. The weather was fine in the morning, and wet during the running. The second race was about to be run when this re port left the ground.

THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY MORNING, APRIL 14 ) 1847. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY April 13 . The Lord Chancellor resumed his sittings to-day, after tho Easter recess. His Lordship sat in his Court at Westminster, and, after disposing of sere ral lunatic petitions in his paper, proceeded to hear appeals. APPERLEY V. PACE. • This case came before his Lordship upon appeal from the decision of the Vice-Chancellor Knight Bruce over rulirg a demurrer put in by the defendants to the bill filed by the plaintiffs on behalf of themselves and others, shareholders in the Midland and Easter Counties Rail way Company, against the defendant s , di rectors o f t h e said company. The bill stated that in July, 1845, this line was projected from the Northern and Eastern Coun ties Railway, at Cambridge to Worcester. That the capital was to b:! 1,500.000/., in 60,000 shares, at 25/. a share, on each of which the deposit was V. 12s. 6d. The plaintiffs paid their deposits, but they alleged that they did so upon the•faith that the whole of the shares would be duly and properly all. , cated, but that they subse quently learned the fact to be, that only 35,000 shares were allocated, and that of theso 17,840 were not ac cepted. The total depo s its paid amounted to 47,670/. At the date of the parliamentary contract, the 29th of October, 1845, the directors well knew that the project had failed, and become itnpructicable by reason of the insufficient allotment of shares, and they incurred the expense of surveys and other charges, although having failed to raise the require d capit a l, t h ey were una b le to apply to Parliament tor an Act tor the projected line. The defendants, however, applied last session for an Act for a small portion of the line, extending thirty eight miles, from Cambridge to Weedon.. The Bill passed the House of Commor, but was rejected i n th e H ouse o f Lords, and it has been since finally abandoned. Pursu ant to the standing orders, 39,0001 was lodged with the Accotin'ant-General by the defendants, On account of the Cambridge and Weedon line. stl.rch suss con s i s t e d o f th e deposits paid for the line to Worcester. The defendants obtained an order for the payment o u t o f C ourt of the 39,000/. to discharge liab ilities, but the money had not yet been paid out. The bill pray e d, t h at as the objects and purposes for which the company was proposed, had failed, through the neglect sad mismanagement of the defendants, they might be declared not ent i t l e d to deduct expenses ?rider the circurastanees stated, and that an account might be taken o f a ll p roper expenses, and that the plainti ff s Tight be declared liable to said expenses in the proportion which the number of shares held by them have to the 6,000 shares originally pro posed ; and that after tha payment of such expenses there should be a distribution of the depo:itA. On the part of the defendants it was contended th,:t as the bill substantially prayed for a dissolution of partnership, there was a want of parties, the majority of the share holders not haying been made parties to -the suit. On the case coming before the Viee-Chancellor Knight Bruce, his Honour ordered the demurrer to be overruled, and from that decisi' n the present appeal was brought. Ilia LORDSHIP, after hearing Mr. Speed on behalf of the appeal, stated his present impression to be against it, but said that he weuld take time to consider his judg ment. ROLL S COURT, April 13. His Lnrilship sat to-day at Westinin,ter, and was occupied in hearing cases which were of no general in terest. VICE - CIIANCELLOI:S' COURT, April 13. (Before the VICE CHANCELLOR of ENGLAND Ills Honour the Vice-Chancellor of England resumtd his sittings to-day in his Court at Westminse r. WALL v. WALL—JUDGMENT. IE3 HONOUR gave judgment to day in this case, which was argued be!ore him some time since on fur ther directions. By a settlement, dated in 1802, the Baroness de Thorin heenme entitled to a reversionary interest in a fund of 1 4,000/., contingent on the death of her father and mother, of whom the former wt.s now deceased. The lady had intermarried in 1835 with the Baron de 111.rin, who, by the marriage, acquired an interest in the seine fund continent upon the event of his surviving his wif e . B y t h e w ill of Willatn Wall, en opub nt banker, in Worcester, which took effect in 1842. a sum of 18,000/. was bequeathed to the Baroness de f horin, conditionally thtt she should relinquish the benefit received by the settlement of 1802, and a re ference was in cons( quence directed to the Master to inspire whether it was for the benefit of the wi'e that she should accept the provision under the will in li• u of that made by the settlement; hut on the Master reporting in favour of the bequest under the will. a difficulty arose by the husband refusing to surrender his contingent interest in the settlement of 1802, so as to sanction the wife's election. Application was, there fore, made to the Court for the purpose of having it determined whether the wife's election could stand independently of the concurrence of the hitsbard. A second question arose under the same will. The tes tator gave to his widow an annuity of 1,8002, issuing out of certain real estates, vested in trustees, and the words employed in the devise were, that " she should have a yearly sum of 1.8001, clear of all taxes and de ductions whatsoever." The Inc , me and Property Tax Act, schedule A No. 4, sec. 10, directed that the trustees in whom land is vested, charged with the payment of annuities, should deduct at the rate of 7d. in the pound on such annuities. The doubt was w hether the widow was to take the 1,800/. unbroken, or lees by the inc me tax. The Court was clearly ef opinion on th.s sec , s l question that the income tax ought to be paid by the widow, but with respect to the question of election, his Honour thought that the record, as at presQnt framed, did not give the Court jurisdiction to decide that. His Honour thought the best course would be to set apart the sum of 18,000/. until the Court was in a condition properly to decide the question. EVANS V. HUNTER.—JUDGMENT. His ilimeona also gave judgment in this case, dis missing the bill with costs, except so far as it prayed relief with respect to giving certain certificates, and as to that the Court granted the prayer of the Bill. MOSELEY V. ALSToN.—THE OXFORD AND BIRMINGHAM JUNCTION RAILWAY In this case his HoNourt, at the conclusion of the arguments, gave judgment, overruling the demurrer. (Before Sir J. WIGRA3I.) MALCO3I V. SCOTT. This cause, the particulars of which have already appeared in this journal, was in the paper for judgment to-day, but his Honour, after going at great length through all the facts, directed a further' inquiry. HUMBLE V. SHORE. We have already given the facts of this case, which turns upon the construction of a will. His lloNourt to-day gave it as his opinion that the terms of the will should betaken literally, but stated that he would go further into the authorities that had bes n cited. series of triangular ridges. The defendant's was a series of detached pieces of raper, folded to form three sides of a square, the bottom side being pasted to the bottom of the box, and the effect was to obtain a saving of nearly half the spare, and show the plain as well as the crimped edges of the material. Space was a great object in sending goods into the country or abroad. The complainant's divisions were like a V inverted, thus " A," and if a square was a different form from a triangle there was no imitation here of the shape re gistered by Mr. Webb. He called several witnesses. Reuben Hanson, from Messrs. Grocock's, said, they were the largest dealers in Rouche lace in the world, They sold about 1,800 boxes per week. Mr. Webb in vented the ridges, but Mr. Hughes's plan was much better. It was important to see how both edges (the folded and the goffered edges) were made, which could not be shown by the ridges. The space saved was a great object, and they sold 12 of tiughes's to one of Webb's on that acceunt. Mr. Brooman, the patent agent, and other witnesses, were called on the same side. The magistrates retired, and, after being absent some time, Sir J. DUNE said, they felt great difficulty in deciding on the case, and they therefore left the parties to pursue any other remedy they had. From questions put by the magistrates it was evident that they had formed different opinion* ; Mr. Alderman Gibbs thinking the defendant's plan a piracy of the core plainanee, and Sir J. Duke that the shape was cssen ti Illy different, and the defendant's tray far more useful to the trade. Tee complaint, therefore, was in effect dismissed. BOW-STREE7'. _ _ Lydia Basey, a rather elderly woman, dressed in shabby mourning, was charged with having defrauded the Admiralty, by personating the deceased widow of a naval offieer, to whom a pension of 501. per annum was granted. On the death of Lieutenant James Guttery, in 1833, the pension was granted to his widow, who continued to receive it up to her own death, in 1841, waen the hus Wed of the prisoner, with a hom the deceased lady had been lodging, in Reynold's-court, Cripplegate, contrived to disguise her death from the Admiralty, and, by means of a false &Aeration, to get the money into his own hands. This continued up to about a year ago, when he died also; since which time the pri-oner, by continuing to personate Mrs. Guttery, had still received the pension. Information of the fraud, however, now reached the Ad miralty, and Inspector Haines apprehended the prisoner, at a house in Prince's -court, where she appeared to be living with her children, one of whom was afflicted with blindness, in a most impoverished condition. She at first denied all knowledge of the matter, but at the police station made several admissions establishing her guilt. She said that the pension was originally bi queathed to her husband by Mrs. Guttery, and that, at his death, he left it to her. It was quite clear that a third party (said to be a woman) had assisted them iu effecting the fraud. Mr. Whalley, from the Paymaster General's office, produced certain declarations, signed by two clergymen, and representing the woman as the widow of Lieutenant Glittery, upon the faith of which declarations the pay ments were continued, through the navy ageets, Messrs. Pettet and Newton. Mr. HALL remarked upon the mischievous cense querces of signing declarations without possessing any knowledge of their contents—a very common practice, but one whic!i he hail invariably declined at Bow-street, at the risk of being thought uncivil and disobliging. The prisoner was remanded for a week. A man nana4d Harrison, keeping a public-house called the Peacock, in Houghton-street, Clare-market, was charged with a felonious assault and robbery, at the Tailors' Arms, Clement',. court. The landlady of the Tailors' Arms, a Mrs. Turner, said that she had retired to her bed-room for a little nap during divine service on Sunday week, when the prisoner, who had been drinking in the tap-room, forced his way intu her bed-room, and, throwing himself upon her, attempted to violate her person. She escaped him, and sat down exhausted in a cha'r, when he te- T eared the attempt. She pulled his ear and scratched his face, upon which he struck her several times with vii lence, and then left the room, taking with him 1/.153. from a work-box on the table. Her huilsaild being out of town, she took no steps in the matter tiil his return on Friday, when he caused the prisoner to be apprt;herided. _ A loter in the house, of with paralysis, saw the prisoner break into the room, and heard the scuffle. The prisoner, who reserved his defence, was fully committe t fur trial. Mr. Philip Hey, the son of Major-General Hay, was placed before Mr. Jardine, charged with obtaining money under false pretences, by means of a cheque drawn by him upon his father, it was alleged, without authority. Mr. Gardiner, the proprietor of the Golden Cross, Charing-cross, said that on Christmas day, 1844, the prisoner requested him to cash a M. cheque for him. He said that in an emergency, the banks bt2ing all closed, he w...uld be obliged to hun if he would advance him 2/. on the spot and let him have the remainder in a day or two. He at first hesitate I, but as the prisoner repro sented that his connections were highly respectable, and that he was the son of General Hay, upon whom the cheque was drawn, he acted upon these representations of the priioner, and advanced him 2/. The next day he received a note from the prisoner, calling his attention to the date of the cheque, and requesting that he would not present it until the 4 . . h of January, when it would become due. lie, therefore, did not present the cheque till that day, and he was then informed that it was a •• swindling trial-action altogethur," and that several similar cheques had been presented and refused. He left the cheque at the bankers, Messrs. Cox and Green wood, for. a tew days, and he understood that it had been shown to Colonel (now General) Hay, and he dis honoured it. The prisoner called his father, General Thy, to prove that he bad given him, a general authority to draw cheques upon him for small amounts, and that if this one was refused it was by mistake. The General stated, most distinctly, that his son had authority to draw not only this checque, but many others, and that, had this been presented to him he would have paid it. He was surprised that Mr. Gardiner had not applied to him be fore taking the course he had adopted. Mr. JARDINE said this was a complete answer to the charge. The prisoner was liberated, but was followed out by the officer engaged in the case, who took him into cus tody again on a second charge, to be preferred at an other Court. WORSHIP-STREET. A young man, named Wif Liam King, was charged with having been concerned with another man, not in cus tody, in stealing 27 gold rings and other articles of jewellery from the sh, , p of Mr. Robert Lindsay, a jewel ler, in Crown -street, Finsbury. Between three and four o'clock on Saturday afternoon the prisoner and another man were observed lurking about in a suspicious manner in the front of the prosecu tor's shop, and directly afterwards the prisoner was seen to withdraw his hand rapidly from the window, and transfer a quantity of jewellery into one of his pockets. The two men then parted from each other, and both ran off in different duections, but the prisoner was hotly pur sued by a young man named Ralph Hale and a number of other pers.ms, who were quickly gaining upon when, to divert tin:ir attenti.:n, he commenced scattering portions of the jewellery at intervals upon the pavement es he ran ; but Hale perseveringly felt's; eti , him until he took refuge in a court in C:1 l on . street, when he sue ceeded in capturing and giving him into custody, tho ug h not in time to prevent his getting rid of the valu a bl es, of which only one ring was found lit his pessessain upon searching him at the station-house. Several gold seals, pies, and brooches, and a card can- Mining 27 gold rings, were produced in court by different witinsses, who had picked them up during the prisoner's flight, and identified by the prosecutor, who stated that, in addition to the property recovered, a quantity of other costly jewellery-, consisting of dress pills, gold finger rinms, and other articles to the value of 20/., were still Polic,man Kemp, of the N division, deposed that for several 3 ears past the p r i soner h a d su b s i sted entirely by uttering countt.rfeit coin and committing other depreda tions, and that he had not long since completed a lengthened term of imprisonment upon a conviction for felo.,y at the Central Criminal Court. The prisoner, o n b e i ng as k e d if h e w i shed to say any thing, declined offering any defence, and was committed or trial, Edward Parrat , itum, 14 years of age, an apprentice to M. Newman, boot and shoemaker, No. 33, Gloster street, Hoxton, Old Town, was charged by Serjeant James Godfrey, of the N division of police, with cutting and wounding his fellow apprentice, Alfred Fullum, aged 17, with intent to do him some grievous bodily harm. Alfred Fullum, who appeared so weak as scarcely to be enabled to give his evidence, stated, that about four o'clock on Monday afternoon he was called down stairs by his master. He was absent only a few minutes, and on his return he found the prisoner using his tools. Wit ness complained, and told the prisoner he deserved a good thrashing. The prisoner said, witness dare not touch him. Witness, however, smacked his face, and the prisoner instantly rushed at him with the knife pro duced, and cut him severely across the arm. A medical certificate having been put in, The prisoner denied the felonious part of the charge, and said that it was purely accidental. The wound was occasioned by his putting up his hand, in which he held his knife, to ward off the blow aimed at him by Fullum. The Magistrate ordered that ha should be again brought up previous to his committal, on the charge of feloniously cutting and wounding with intent, &c. CLERKEN WELL. A gentlemanly-looking young man, who appeared to be in an almost dying state, was led to the bar by Wad dineton, the gaoler, and Mr. Wolff, his professional adviser, to answer a charge preferred against him by John Kelly, a shoprnan in the employment of Woolston holme, pawnbroker, of Leather-lane, Holborn, of having stolen a quantity of Orleans cloth and Irish linen. The prisoner, whose name. was John Cooper, was taken into custody on last Wednesday, and placed in one of the cells at the station-house, and upon the officer on duty in the yard going round to the place where the pri soner was confined he observed him lying in an apparently lifeless state upon the floor, and upon closer examination it was found that he had inflicted a fearful gash across his right artn. Mr. Taylor, the divisional surgeon, wa instantly sent for, and after the wound had been dressed he was removed to the Royal Free Hospital, in the Gray's Inn- road, where he remained until that morning. When Mr. Combe, the presiding magistrate, per ceiving the weak and dejected state in which the prisoner was, be most kindly ordered him to be taken into the private room and supplied with every attention which his position required. By some oversight, when the prisoner was first locked up he was allowed to retain a penknife by the officer on duty. The facts of the robbery as seated in evidence ap peared to be, that the prisoner entered the shop of Mr. Woolstonholine, and offered to pledge a piece of Lima POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. Sir J. Duke and Mr. Alderman Gibbs were engaged n. three hours in hearing an information for an in ringement of a registered design, which appeared to excite great interest in the lace trade. Mr. J. Payne, the barrister, and Mr. Tippets, a soli citor, appeared to support the complaint ; and Mr. Clarkson and Mr. Word worth attended as counsel, and as solicitors, for th e ( 11 , e f : u sr d s a . nt. D e v o nshire and Wils on , The information charged that Mr. Webb, of Wood street and ManeheFter, had registered an original design for a protective roache tray, and that Mr. liesketh Hughes, of Cripplegate buildings, had sold a fraudulent imitation of such design. " Rouehe," it was explained, is a piece of thin lace, about two inches in width, and a yard . in length. Tee lace is first crimped (or gofferee, as it is termed) ; thread is then run down the centre, and next the lace is folded in half. It is then ready for use, either as lades' " whiskers," or as a double frill border round a cap, &c. Mr. Payne said, he understood the question was to be met upon its merits, hut he was prepared to go into the preliminary proof by putting in the certificate of regis tration, proving that notice was given to the defendant not to infrin g e on the regi s t er, mid that he had, never theless, sold the fraudulent imitations of the design subsequently. Mr. Clarkson said he would give him no trouble on these points. Mr. Payne proceeded to explain the state of ihin7s before the invention was registered by his cli mt. The rouche lace was kept in round boxi containing three tiers, and the mischief was that only one-third of the lace could be shown at a time, and no part of it could be removed without disturbing the rest. The cone plainant, who is a rouche maker, invented a box for his goods which enabled a draper to exhibit the go els bet ter, and to remove any portion without disturbing the rest. Instead of a round deep, be had a long shallow one, and instead of laying strips of paper between each row of lace he folded a sheet of paper so as to form a series of ridges The lace was then put into the troughs between the ridges, two of which troughs held a complete length of lace. It contained 12 yards, like tl - e round boxes, but presented the whole to view at once. About six weeks after the regi stration the defen d ant reg i stere d t h e in fringement. By ripping open the top of each ride, he was enabled t o Put into the tray near l y d ou bl e t h e quan tity. Thi s m i ght be an improvement, b ut i t was ne i t h er law no r common sense that man's original and novel design , that if a man adde'i some little improve ment to anothe the impr over should talio the benefit of the whole. In such a case t h e improver must either make an arrange ment with th e i nventor, or wait till t h e i nventor ' s term of registry or patent expired. He referred to 'Words worth's w or k on the Patent Law, an d urge d t h at t h e cutting o p en the tops of the ribs or r id ges, a ll t h e rest being p rec i sely the same, was bat a coloura bl e change, and, in fa c t, a fraudulent iinnettien.

Cross-e x°rniced by Mr. Clarkson — The defendant's n. tray exhibi ted the plain edge as well as the two goffered edges, which the complainant's did not. The com plainant's box was ten inches wide, and the defendant's about si x i nc h es. The length of each was t h e same. Mr. Clark sou said, there was no infringeent in this ease. The specification of the complainant's invention was insufficient, for it did not specify what parts were new and w h at were known before, as part i cu l ar l y re quired by th e Act. It was net new to put l ace into an oblong pap er b ox, nor to pat slips o f paper b etween t h e rows of lace; but it was new to fasten the strips of paper to the box, of which the specification took no notice; and it w as new to have a sheet of paper fielded so as t o present a series of ribs instead of baying seperate loose ribs. The specieoasion contained no reference to what was old, and w h at was therefore de f ect i ve . Th e A ct had reference only to matters of form. It was nothing that the same principle or ides was taken up if the form and means were different. Principles were protected by the Patent. law, and mere shape by the Registration-law, If he showed the shape w, s different, and essentially more useful, he should relieve his client.

A second charge was preferrel against him of having stolen a waistcoat, but owing to the weak and exhausted state in which he appeared to be, the hearing of it was adjourned. MARYLEBONR. Mr. Rewlinson was occupied for nearly two hours in the investigation of a chargeagainst a number of persons who had been taken into custody for having been con cerned in stealing property to the amount of nearly 6001. from a van belonging to Messrs.

A cons iderable degree of interest was excited. in cons, qu:nce of the numerous robberies which from time to rime have been perpetrated at the diff4ent stations, and the court was therefore much crowded. Mr. Vann attended for the 'prosecution; Mr. Wilkin son, manager to Messrs. Crowley. the well-known rail way carriers, also attereli d, as did Mr. Barker, superin tend rit of the Railway. Company's police, and Inspector Pave), of the N division. A great deal of evidence was gone into, from which it appeared that several of the prisoners had carried off from the terminus a quantity of goods in a van, and that they had no right whatever to do so: A portion of the said good% was ultimately met with by Sergeant Sen ders, at 3, Colnbroke place, Raton. It was further stated that at the house in question much of the pro perty stolen was discovered. Other evidence was gone into touching the robbery, and the six prisoners first named were remanded till Tuesday next; and the others were discharged on their promising to appear on the day named. WARK. Mr. Dunn, the barrister, now an inmate of the Queen's Prison, addressed a note to the magistrate relative to an application for a summons, against, a shoemaker for re fusing to deliver up a pair ot shoes with which he was intrusted to repair, The writer, in setting forth his com plaint, mentioned that having a pair ot shoes the soles of which were rather too thick, particularly as he was not compelled to be out in dirty weather, he was anxious to have the old soles taken off and st new pair of lighter ones placed on in their stead. lie therefore sent for a shoemaker, and, having pointed out to him the repairs he required, the shoes we re taken away, and when brought hack he had reason to be displeased with the workmanship as well as the price that was charged. The shoemaker had in fact made a claim of 4s. 61. for soling the shoes, and although the old soles were in point of fact better than the new ones, the former being, as was mentioned before, too thick, that being the only fault, yet he refused to make any allowance fir "them. The writer added that the object of the present application was to obtain a warrant or summons against the man of whem he complained, for he absolutely tefueed to deliver up possession of the shoes un:ess 4s. 6J. was paid—an extortionate demand, which he refused to comply with, and he could nut get the shoes out of his hands except by compulsion. Ms. SECHER, who perused the note, could not help smiling at the contents; and, addressing the bearer of it, a boy, desired him to inform his maser that no pro: ess crated be issued from this court against the shoemaker upon such a complaint ; that Mr. Dunn ought to have made an agreement as to the pries he was to have given for the repairs of the shoe; before they were finish e d, and then this complaint of his would have been obviated. P . , however, that gentleman still considered the shoe maker had not acted fairly on the occasion, he could sue him, if he pleased, for breach of contract, at the Southwark Small Debts Court ; but, at the same time, he (the Magistrate) would rot advise such a step, but would rather recommend Mr. Dunn to pay the shoe maker his demand, get his shoes back, and the next time his shoes wanted mending, to agree about the price beforehand, and then there would be no reason to complain.
