A GANG OF BITEO_A,A.III IifEKENHEAD.--Rose Ann Quinn, Ellen Hirley Burke,: - were again brought up .0n" remand dria charge of burglary, at the Birkenhead ,Police-eourt, yesterday.—Mr. BRetweri of 153, - Bridge-street, Birkenhead, stated, that early in March some. one broke into his house, ascended to his bed-room, 'tote a neck-tie, a gold-watch and chain, a gold-brooch, .and several articles of wearing apparel. Information was given to the police and the two females, were apprehended. They Were proved to have pledged some of the 'stolen property at Mr:Wilkini', Bevington bush, Liverpool, 'lie male prisoner, Burke, came to the police-'office to inquire if the females were in custod', and thpooliceman on duty 'saw that round kis neck was the identical neck-tie referred tdabove. The magistrate.* committed the prisoners for trial; and detective-officer Hodson, stated that if- the. bench thoughkit necessary he could proceed with four or five cases against them. — Mr: Biyans said he thought the ends of justice would be satisfied, by the committal of `the prisoners on the one charge. C, TURF OF A GANG OF PICKFOMETS.—DESFERATE ENOOUNTERS.—Yesterday, - at the Birkenhead Police Court, :(bbfOre Richard Biyans, Esq.;)' Henry , Corfield, Jane Corfield, and Louisa , Jones, were charged .with picking`pockets at the Monks' 'Ferry' raMvay'strition and also with seriously' assaulting Mr, Andrews and 3fr. libward; the station master and assistant station master. It appeared that on Monday evening the prisoner Jane Corfield went into the railivay station And asked when the train would leave for Manciester. She was told that it would depart at 25 : minutes after nine. Shortly after Wards , the other:prisoners came into the station, where they remained. At half-past seven the train from Wales arrived, when, as a Mrs.' Rddick' war looking for her luggage, the male prisoner was seen to be "feeling " about her dress. At that moment Mrs. Rodick 'shifted .her .position, and the male prisoner acted accordingly. The captain of the railway boat saw him push _his hand at that _ moment into _ Mrs. Rodick's pocket. That Jady immediately grasped his hand and asked, "What are , you doing, picking my pocket i" Coles, the captain of the boat , a n d Howard i the, deputy station master, seized him, and he was taken into' a private room for a short 'time. The two females were then apprehended, and.the three were subsequently ~ taken- to bridewell. -- On the - warthere - rnade , desperate attemptS to escape. Howard' was severely bitten e abdrit' s the hand by the male prisoner, and the 'two females kicked and struggled with PolicernAn Keenan and Mr.-Andrews.' godson, a detective officer,' stated that' Corfield was a ticket-of.leaye man, and that about five-o'clock on' Monday evening 'he and Detective Scott, of the Liverpool force, met the prisoner in Great Crosshall-street.- They- asked him what he was doing, and .he said ;that he was leading an honest life as a hawker. The prisoners were sent to gaol for three months. Anether of the gang was apprehended in court, and will be brought up to-day. him by Captain Carneiie; on whose authority they rested. Sir F. lipLy contended, .upon equitable grounds, that' the House was not justified in rescinding the Dover contract ; `or• in takink upon itself the functions of a court of law. He, questioned the right of the Crown to repudiate an agreement made under ,its hand arid seal, and which Mr.'Churchward had carried out to the full extent, and in the most admirable manner. Mr.. Cfturchward had a right to be heard, and the, matter, if to be carried farthei:, ought to be tairen before a legal tribunal. The- rescinding of the contract would b.e, a fine £2,000 : a, quarter on Mr. .ohurchward for an imputation on which he had .neither been tried nor Convicted. Mr. BOUVERTE denied that this was a legal question It was one in l which the House was Wind to do its duty as. guardian of the public purse. It 'was all along understood that the consent of the House was necessary to the completion of' the contract. He' acquitted the' late Government of all corrupt intention• in the matter. In fact they were too innocent, and, took for granted all the statementimade'tO them. The 'contract had been most injurious, and the public officers had discharged their duties in a manner in no way creditable to them. Mr. iNVHFrEstn - p. argued that the testithony!cin Which the ; committee founded its:report was altogether worth less, and declared that it was the bounden ditty Of Parlia ment to complete the contract. The CniNCEia,on of the EXCHEQUER said that, according to the doctrines laid down on the other side, all that Parliament had to look when a contract was, before them, was whether it was fulfilled. They were to be deprived of the privilege of considering corruption, and one of their chief privileges was to be : questioned; .The doctrines laid down involved ;constitutional 'questions which they -could not Olore. The report of the-committee altered. the whole position of affairs; that committee had been most carefully elected, 'and its prOdeedings justified that, selection. The iinpartiality.was eVident in every - page. The 'com mittee had pronounced a sblemn judgment—they had acquitted the late GOvernment of corruption, but had found the person kith whom that GoVernment had to deal guilty, of political corruption, injuriously affecting the representation Of the people in Parliatnent. For the truth of this he rested 'on'the report . of the committee. but he agreed with its conclusions from his own lade pendent judgment. . • Sir J. PARINGTQN made some personal explanation.s and urged that thole was not sufficient evidenCe 'to convict Mr. Churehward. Mr. HOPE likewise made a few personal remarks; after whiCh the House divided. The motion was negatived by 162 to 117. Some formal business was transacted, and the House adjourned at 1.50 a.m. CHESS IN LIVERPOOL. A most interesting match between the members of the Manchester and Liverpool Chess Clubs was commenced last evening . , the respective moves being transmitted 'by electric telegraph.. The players assembled:. at the offices of.the company, and the positions werexegularly recorded at the rooms of the Liverpool Club..

Although the play had advanced- Considerably at thl time of our going to press, it would be premature to express an opinion upon the probable result of the match; we can only hope that our townsmen may prove as successful as they were on the, last occasion of their entering 'into friendly contest with their Manchester opponents.

The court sat at 'nine o'clock. _ ROBBERY AND ARSON AT LIVERPOOL—Thomas Chaloner (35) was indicted for haying at Liverpool, on the 2nd of. January last; feloniously stolen 10 tons 14 cwt.. of olive oil, the property Of Elijah Price and others, and he was further indicted for feloniouslV setting fire to a certain warehouse, with intent to injure Elijah Price. M r . A sp i na ll an d M r . P re st o n p rosecu t e d , and Mr. Scott defended the prisoner, wko was a ware houseman in the employ of Price and Lace, general brokers, Exchange -street East. It appeared that on the 17th of Decemher last alarge quantity of olive oil —about 170 casks—was put into the prosecutor's ware house, which is known as "Carson's B," situated in Blundell -street. On the morning of the 2nd of January a fire broke out in the warehouse and was not extin guished before considerable damage was done. A few days afterwards the prisoner absconded, and a survey was made of the premises. Deteetive Inspector Horne was entrusted with the task, and found that some of the casks of oil were empty whilst others were partially empty. At the further end of the cellar a hole was found in the floor above,—the room being in the occu pation of a man named Duffy. On this floor was found a large quantity of resin-wood cut up into chips and -piled up on the top of some barrels so as to reach the floor of the room above. On that floor was found 'a quantity of valonia, a substance , used by tanners, in a corner' corresponding in area to the pile 'of resin wood below, and on removing the valonia found that there had been placed a considerable quantity of resin wood chips, so as to communicate with the chips below if 'set on fire. It was ascertained that the prisoner, before absconding, had sent some casks of what he ca ll e d lime-juice, to Willen-hall, Staffordshire, and also that he had taken from. Mr. George Hall—to whom he paid six months' rent in advance—a cellar; in Wolstetiholme square, where two casks of oil were placed by carters under the direction of the prisoner. A Liverpool detec tive-officer, John Scott, went to Willen-hall, in search of the casks of lemon-juice, which he understood had been consigned to Messrs. Stewart and Co. of that place, and at the railway station he found the eight casks directed as stated, but on examining .them found that their contents were olive oil and not lemon-juice. The prisoner was apprehended at Shrewsbury, and. Scott charged bim with the felony and'arson. The prisoner replied, " I and Duffy set fire to the place: On Mon 'day after Christmas-day, being a holiday,. we took up a board in the floor in Duffy's room, then pumped up the oil into his place, and : then took it away. On the following Sunday, New Year's-day, we got some resin chips and put them under the floor, then poured- some naphtha upon them and set ' fire -to.. the place." Subsequently, to Detective Laycock, the prisoner said, when told that Duffy had. absconded, "It was Duffy who first induced, me to steal the oil, and after wards set fire to the' place." The prisoner pleaded guilty to the felony, but in his behalf counsel urged that there was not sufficient evidence to convict him of arson, unless his own statement, made when he was in an excited state and in the hands of the police, was held to be adequate proof of his guilt. The jury found the prisoner guilty. His lordship said arson,was at all times' and in all places a most serious crime, but in a town like Liverpool its heinousness extended to the first degree, and to mark his sense of the crime sen tenced the prisoner to fourteen years' penal servitude. His lordship passed a high compliment upon the detec tive officers concerned in the case for the diligence dis played by them in' bringing the prisoner to justice. A SECOND CHARGE OP ARSON AT LIVERPOOL —The grand jury ignored the bill in the ease of William Hamer, who was charged with having at Liverpool, on the 30th Jan. last, feloniously set fire to a certain ware house. ATTEMPTED RAPE AT LIVERPOOL.—James Lloyd was tried, and acquitted of the charge of having at Liverpool on the Bth January last assaulted Agnes Keeley with intent to ravish her. ASSAULT AND ROBBERY AT ROCRDALE. -- JalßeS lior rocks (30),'Samuel Woolley (24), and Adam Dalrin (22), were indicted for having at Rochdale, on the Ist March last, feloniouslY assaulted one Benjamin Brearley, put- Ail* him in bodily fear and danger: of his life, and with great violence stealing from his person £2 6s. and a purse. •Mr. Kaye was for the prosecutor, and the prisoners were undefended. The prisoners and the Prosecutor had been drinking together at several public houses on the night in question, and when the prisoner . was going home' Horrocks knocked him down and rifled his , pockets, whilst the other two prisoners held .him down, He •lay for some time insensible upon the ground, but on his recovery gave information to the police, and the prisoners were apprehended about an hour afterwards. Horrocks had been previously con victed and was sentenced to eighteen months', and the other prisoners each to twelve months' imprisonment. lordship observed that highway robbery was but too prevalent in this county and must be put down by the strong arm of the law. FORGERY AT LivEnpoot.—William Dutton (28) was indicted for having at' Liverpool, between the 19th of July Sand the 26th of September, '1859, feloniously forged certain orders for the payment of . £6 45., 4, and £5, with intent to defraud. The . prosecution was con ducted by Mr. Aspinall. The prisoner, who was for merly in the employ of Messrs. G. E. Balleras & CO., merchants, Tower-chambers, had obtained money on forged orders from several parties in Manchester, Old ham, and other plates, and was apprehended after hav ing confesied his crime voluntarily in a letter written to his employers disclosing the real state of the case and asking .their forbearance until he could return the money. At the same time he stated that he could not lead his evil life any longer, and that if necessary he would give himself up to justice. The jury returned a verdict of guilty, and two previous convictions against the prisoner having been proved, he was sentenced to eight years' penal servitude. The court then adjourned. NISI PRIUS 'COURT—YESTERDAY. (Before Mr. Justice, Bla4buru.) LYTHGOE . V.. VERNON.—This ease was resumed at the sitting of the court. His lordship 'having summed up the evidence, the jury gave a verdict for the defen dant, but, upon the application of Mr. Temple, execution for costs was stayed until the 6th of next term. SEYMOUR v. GREENWOOD.—The plaintiff in this case sought"td recover compensation for injuries sustained by him, w Bile being eoaveyed in the defendant's omnibus, on the 22nd of August last. Mr. Monk, Q.C., 'and Mr. Leresche appeared for the plaintiff, and lift. Wilde,, Q.C., and Mr. Jones for the defendant. It appeared that. the plaintiff, Alexander Seymour, was a builder at Manehester, and about 55 years of age ; and the defendant, jOhn Greenwood, was the great omnibus and hackney coach proprietor, of Manchester. On the 22nd of August last, the first day of the annual regatta, on the irwell, the plaintiff was proceeding in the defendant's omnibus from Deansgate to the Pomona Gardens, The usual terminus of the omnibus was the Egertoyrarms, belt on the occasion of the regatta, it was the invariAle practice to continue the journey as far as the Pomona Gardens. On arriving at the Egerton Hotel, an altercation took place between the plaintiff and the conductor, Dixon, the plaintiff not being pro vided with the amount of his fare; and ,the result was that Dixon seized the plaintiff by the collar, dragged him out of the omnibus, and threw him upon the road. At the moment he was . thrown out of the omnibus, a han som-cab, also the property of the defendant Greenwood, was being driven along the road, and it passed over the plaintiff: His legs and ankles were severely fractured. and his Bead was much crushed, the skull being laid bare some six inches. In conseperice of these injuries the plaintiff had been confined to his bed for five weeks, and he continued lame to the present moment. His memory and eyesight were seriously affected, and he was unable to pursue his ordinary occupation. The medical man who attended him. gave ,evidence to the effect that the plaintiff could not be pronounced out of all danger even now. The learned judge stated that Dixon's employer Was liable for all acts which he com mitted in the discharge of his dirty, but he could not be responsible for the man's wilful misconduct. It would be the bettO plan to take the opinion of the jury as to the amount of damages, and leave it to the Court of Exchequer to say whether, upon the evidence, the defendant was liable. His lordship's suggestion was acquiesced in by both sides, and the jury found a verdict for the plaintiff. Damages £lO5. DISPUTED RTORT TO 4 WATER COURSE.—LORD AND ANOTHER v. PrEr.nrrici.—This was an action brought against the defendant for diverting a watercourse. Mr. Monk, Q.C.. and Mr. Jones appeared for the plaintiffs, , Q.C., and Mr. - Fernley for the defendant. The plaintiffs, Samuel and Jos. Lord, were cotton spin ners, at Smallbridge, near Rochdale ; and the defendant, Who - carried 'on business as a machine maker at the same place, occupied premises 'contiguous to the pre mises occupied by the plaintiffs. The present action was in, reality brought to establish the plaintiffs' right to the use of ' certain water, by means of_ a weir,. and a sluice conveying it from that weir, and from a stream called the •Smallbridge Brook, or Ashbrook, through land partly in the occupation of the defendants ; but through land in lease to the plaintiffs themselves, down to the cotton works belonging to the plaintiffs. After the examination of the first witness in the case, a consultation took place between the learned counsel engaged on each side, and it remitted in a juror being withdrawn. , BECK V. DPIIIIGH AWD ANOTHER.—This was an action against the defendants, Cornelius and Arthur 'Gill Denb ! gh, for . having levied an illegal distre ss f or rent upon the premises of the plaintiff. Mr. Temple, (,),.c., appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. J4mes, Q,C., and Mr. Kay for the defendants.: In the month of re na at February 1859 the plaintiff took a h7sean a d g shopeelo 17, Market-street, Manchester-road, Burnley, belonging to a person pf the name of Mrs. Shaw. Au was made that the rent should be £45 a-year, and that it should be paid in advance. In the following October, when the plaintiff was absent in London, the, defendants Iput in"a distress for the rent of the premises, and with vat complying with the usual forms, peremptorily sold ;off the furniture and stook at a considerable sacrifice. , The case was not concluded when the court rose. ASSESSOR'S COURT. (Before J. J. Aston, Esq.) - CLAIM AGAINST A RAILWAY COMPANY. - Mr. Edwards, engineer, Mr. Blaneley, and Mr. Marsh, all of Manchester, were respectively plaintiffs in actions brought against the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln shire Railway Company, to recover compensation for injuries received in a collision which took place on the defendants line. From the statement made by Mr. Pope, who appeared for the three plaintiffs, it appeared that they left Manchester at half-past six on the 24th of December last, and that their train was stopped for some time at the Ardwick station. A train of the Lon don and North-Western Company was seen approaching on the line from Stockport, and the pointsman at the junction, perceiving that there was an engine on the line, in order to avoid a collision, turned the London and North-Western train on to the defendants' line, and it ran with great violence into the train standing at the Ardwick station. The 'plaintfir Edwards was very seriously injured, and the' other • or less, by the c o lli s i on.—Tho jury plaintiff s were al so ds £3OO damages, Bl ane l y, £175, and s a : Ni‘ ff ,aar e rs r dh ei ds, £so.,Emd r. !angnde-upon her.

IIIE DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 28, 1860. LIVERPOOL POLICE COURT.-YESTERDAY. (Before Mr. RAFFLES.) UTTERING BASE COlN.—Mary M'Convile was brought up on three charges of passing counterfeit coin. On the 19th instant she passed a coin upon Margaret Reed ; on the 14th ult. - a 5s piece on Sarah Shaw, 15, Comber ,mere-street, Park; and prisoner also passed a second 5s piece on the 14th ult. upon Mr. Hughes, 57, George street, Park. The two last were in payment for coals. Sent for trial to the sessions. FORGING A CERTIFICATE.—David Lewis, seaman, was brought up on a charge of forging a certificate of character, and presenting it to Mr. James Anderson. Mr. Tyndall appeared on the part of the prosecution, and Mr. Bluck defended the prisoner. The defendant, it appears, had acted as second mate in two vessels, called the Alice and the Braganza., Some time since he appeared before the Board of Trade to qualify himself as ' second mate. The Board stated that his certificates were all very good, but required certificates of sobriety. The captains of the vessels in which the prisoner had served were at sea ; and, therefore, for the purpose of passing his examination, he procured blank forms in 'a shop in Castle-street, filled them up, and signed the absent captains' names. Mr. Bluck contended that the offence was committed in ignorance, and Mr. Raffles took a similar view of the case, and fined the prisoner in the mitigated penalty of £5 and costs. OBTAINING MONEY UNDER FALSE PRETENCES.— Mary Moran was charged with obtaining 4s. on a chain worth 4d., from Mary Gallagban. The charge of false pretences could not be brought home, and the prisoner was dismissed. STEALING FROM THE PERSON.—Margaret Stevenson, a woman of the town, for stealing 10s. from the person of F. Campbell, in a brothel kept by Mary Anderson, at 3 - Court, Gilbert-street, was sent to gaol for two months with hard labour. ABSCONDING FROM THE' ,FENInTENTIARY.—EI izabeth Whittle, and Elizabeth Rimmer, were charged with absconding from the Falkner-street Penitentiary, and stealing clothing from the institution to the amount of £l. Two shawls were found in Dowry's, the pawn broker. Sent to gaol for three menths. OBTAINING. TWO HOGSHEADS OF WINE BY FALSE PRETENCES.—Wm. Henry Lynass, brewer, residing at 2, Oakfield, Atherton-street, appeared in answer to a summons on a charge of obtaining two hogsheads of sherry by false pretences. Mr. Cobb appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Campbell defended the prisoner. The proceedings were instituted under the Act Ist William IV., chap. 66, sec. 10. In September, 1858, Mr. Aman, spirit merchant, New Fair-lane, Rock Ferry, entered into partnership in the brewery business with the prisoner, the former engaging to amalgamate the wine and spirit business with the brewery in OetobeA 1859, provided the brewery should turn out a profitable speculation. - Long before that date the brewery busi- new became _insolvent, and the amalgamation did nol take place; but as late ,as January, 1860, the prisoner obtained two hogsheads of sherry wine, Aman's property, from Messrs. Dover & Co.. the consignees, in the name of Lynass & Co. Mr, Cobb contended that since the partner ship had been dissolved, the prisoner had no business to use the name of Lynass & Co., a firm which was not in existence, and endeavoured to establish a case of forgery.---Mr. Raffles, however, after examining the agreements entered into by the parties, dismissed the case.—Mr. Campbell stated that, under the circumstances, it would be only fair that he should make a few remarks. In instituting criminal proceedings against the prisoner the prosecutor sought only to damage his character ; and he thought that his client had been most maliciously dealt with. For, a considerable time the parties were partners, who bought and sold for their common benefit; and the very wine, , with a quantity of beer, had been bought at Ham burg for the firm.—The. Clerk of the Court read a state ment made by Mr. Aman on the occasion of applying for. the summons against the prisoner, to the effect that Lynass was his clerk, and not his partner.—Mr. Raffles remarked that, had he known the particulars of the case in the first instance, he would not have granted the summons; and thought that Mr. Atnan had acted very indiscreetly in the matter. CASE OF DAMAGES FOR A NEWSPAPER LIBEL. (Before Lord Chief Justice ERLE and a Common Jury.) PERCIVAL AND WIFE V. LEVY. This was an action against the proprietor of the Daily Telegraph newspaper to recover damages for a libel. The defendant pleaded not guilty and a justideation. Mr. Ribton, in opening the case to the jury, said the case arose out of a charge of rape that was preferred by the daughter of the plaintiff, Hannah Percival, against a man named James Powers, in December last. The libel complained of consisted of reports of the examina tions, and comments upon the evidence, in leading articles. The grand jury had thrown out the bill. Mr. Edwin James, in his address to the jury for the defendant, said the only points they had . to consider were whether the reports of the different examinations, before the magistrate, and the comments that were made upon them, were Fair and just, and whether it was for the interest of the public that they should have been published. The object of the articles that were the sub jeet of the action was merely to call attention to the, mode in which justice was administered iii the City of London, and to the improper facility that was given to the making of charges of this description. It appeared to him that it was the duty of the press to direct atten tion to the subject, as every man, no matter what his ,position in life might be, was liable to have such a charge made against him, and his liberty, his reputation, and almost his life might be destroyed, if the magistrates before whom, the charge-was investigated did not exercise a proper discretion before they decided on sending the case before a jury ; and he submitted that upon the evidence the defendant was justified in publishing the articles that appeared in the Telegraph, and that he was entitled to a verdict. Chief. Justice Erie, in summing up, said that the law undoubtedly was that a fair and correct report of proceed ings in a court of justice, if published bona fide, and with out malice, could not be made - the subject Of Itn - Setion for libel; but with regard to the publication of comments upon those proceedings afterwards, that was another mat ter upon which he should not at present give any opinion. With reference to this particular case, however, he should state that it appeared to him that the defendant was not justified in Making the comments be bad done in the articles that appeared after the proceedings before the magistrates ; and if the jury should think that they were `of a libellous character, the plaintiff was entitled to a verdict; with such reasonable damages as,they should think he was entitle.l to under all the circumstances. The Jury, after a short deliberation, returned a ver dict for the plaintiff—Damages £5O. Nr. James tendered in a bill of exceptions to his lord ship's rujiqg in point of law, upon the ground that he should' have left it to the jury, that W they believed the statements were made bond fide and without malice, and were founded upon the facts, the defendant was entitled to a verdict ; and upon the application of the learned counsel, execution was stayed until the question raised by the bill 'of exceptions has been more fully argued. THE EXCOMMUNICATION.—It is said that as soon as the bull excommunicating the King of Piedmont is pUblished,, Cardinal Morlot, Archbishop of Paris,. means tq resign his offices at court, all of them highly lucrative. The grand altimersttip alone is said to bring in £4,990 a year, and as a .senator the right rev. prelate enjoys £1,200 per annum. When Talleyrand - was excom- - municated he took it more coolly. The same day that the bull reached him, the incorrigible Bishop of Autun penned the following note to a Madame de 'P--. with whom he was on very intimate terms. This note, I may observe, is as yet unpublished. Talleyrand's gems won't bear translation. I therefore give it in the origin 4: Ma chere Amie,—C'est aujourd'hui que la bulle tlu pkipe me voue a l'esprit des tenebres.

Thiers, just pub lished. The book contains a letter from M. Jerome Napoleon Bonaparte, " a French citizen, residing at Baltimore, in the United States," to the effect that on the,24th of December, 1803, Jerome Bonaparte, then a naval officer in the service of the French Republic, was married to Miss Elizabeth Paterson, daughter of a citizen of the United States, by the Bishop of Baltimore. Though Jerome Bonaparte was under age, and married without waitieg for his mother's consent, the note goes on to say his mother made no protest against the mar riage, but, on the contrary, called M. Jerome Napoleon Bonaparte, the issne of that marriage, • her dear son," an d signed herself in a letter te him, " his very affectionate mother." In 1805 the Emperor Napoleon I. demanded of the Pope a bull annulling that marriage, bat this was refused. Before his death, however, Madame Letitia Bonaparte did protest against the marriage, 'and in the year 1805, the Emperor, in a decree approved by the Council of State, declared it null and void. Miss Paterson received a pension of 60.000 f. from the Empe ror Napoleon I. till the Restoration. At the re-esta blishment of the empire under Napoleon 111. the descendants of the marriage with Miss Paterson attempted to establish a right, and Prince Napoleon and the Princess Mathilde appealed to an Imperial family Council, the only competent tribunal, to forbid Jerome Paterson to attribute to himself, with the name of Bonaparte, a filiation which does net helon,g ,to him legally.. The family Council maintained the right of the defendant to the name of Bonaparte, but without the right of availing himself of the advantages conferred by tie 201st and 2024 articles of the Code Napoleon. FIRE AND Loss OP Sunday morning, between the hours of 4 and 5 o'clock, a fire of an alarming and destructive character, and unfortunately attended with the sacrifice of two human beings, and serious 'injury to several other persons, took place. The premises.in which the fire commenced were termed the Little Wonder beershop, situated at 77, Curtain-road 'Shoreditch, within two doors of the Chartered Gas Company's manufactory. The discovery was made by Police-constable Ricks, who, after some trouble, suc ceeded in arousing the inmates from their sleep. They consisted of Mr. Truckell (the proprietor), his wife, and numerous lodgers. The instant Mr. Truckell became aware of the existence of the fire he jumped out of bed to arouse his wife and children, but when he opened the room door he was met by a sheet of flame. Fortu nately, he managed to reach the sleeping-rooms of his wife and children, the former of whom was so over come by fright that she was quite prostrated. He however, managed to lower them all out of the first floor window without much injury. Mr. Truckell then became surrounded with flames, whilst three or four other. persons were- screaming for help in the floor above. He managed to lower himself out of the window, and clung to the ornamental lamp over the shop front, until the flames reached his hand, and he was compelled to jump to the ground. Several engines were soon in attendance. During the brief interval that elapsed before the arrival of the fire escape and engines, the scene is described as being of a very ag onis i ng c h aracter. A man named JOhn Liiich, who was lodging in the house with his wife and family, upon hearing the alarm given, and not ' knowing the reason, opened his bed-room door, wheh he was surrounded by a sheet of fire, and soon perished. His body was found a charred and blackened mass. His u nfortunate wife was also encircled in fire, and was com pelled to jump out of a second-floor window. She fell with a terrible crash; and was at once removed to St. Bartholomew's Hospital, but died before reaching it. Several other persons were seriously injured by drooping from the windows. The fire was not subdued until the house and, its contents were totally 'destroyed. The origin of the fire is unknown. The proprietor was ,insured, GENERAL NEWS. TILE POPULATION OF SAVOY AND NICE.—The sum total of the population which the King of Sirdinia has left to themselves amounts to 838,436. The' German princes and reigning di g nitaries are con tributing generally to the monument to be erected to the memory of Ernzt Moritz Arndt. ! The squadron, under the command of Rear-Admiral Sir .Charles Fremantle, now in the Tagus, is shortly expected to return to England. It is expected that all the companies formed by the Civil Service in London will, unite, and thus form one of the finest regiments of rifle volunteers.

LARGE RIFLE CANNON.--The Mechanics' _Magazine, of last Friday, contains a description of a rifle cannon, constructed by Mr. Lynal Thomas. It is a muzzle loader, and a range of six miles is expected from it. Tie Comrt Circular states that more than one or two of the juvenile members of the Royal Family have suffered severely from the effects of the late extraordi nary weather. It is with regret we have to state that Colonel Paken ham, the Adjutant-General of the Queen's forces in India, is obliged to abandon his post in consequence of indisposition.

SARDINIAN MILITARY PREPARATIONS.—The evacua tions by the French troops makes military preparation even more urgent than before. Although no noise is made about these, you perceive activity everywhere. The board of guardians of the Prestwich Union, which includes a part of Manchester, recently appointed a committee to consider the present powers of the Poor law Board, and to make suggestions for an improvement of its administration.

While the new regulations appear likely to be attended with success, in bringing forward a sufficient number of candidates for the cavalry of the line, one of the household regiments appears to be more than ever in want of officers. RELIGIOUS PERSECUTION IN TURRIEY.—OR Monday afternoon a numerous deputation from the Evangelical Alliance waited by appointment upon Lord J. Russell to bring . under his lordship's notice a case of religious per, secution in Turkey: • - • A rough-looking rural gentleman walked into the studio of a Philade:phia artist, whose sign indicated that be-taught " drawing," and requested him to try his art upon a four-year-old mule, protriising to pay liberally if the "darned critter" was learned to " draw." The Times has sent a special correspondent to Chew bery to investigate, on the spot, the public opinion of the country on the transfer about to ' take place. We gather from the whole letter that the Savoyards, unac customed to political agitation, have been comparatively indifferent. It is rumoured that the Emperor's architect will shortly proceed. to Nice for the purpose of selecting a site for the erection of a palaCe.

DEFALCATIONS AND FLIGHT OF A RATE COLLECTOR. —Considerable exci - ement was created in West Hartle pool on Wednesday, by the circulation of a report that Mr. Harrison Burnham, rate collector and assistant overseer, was a defaulter to a considerable amount and had taken flight. The report proved on inquiry to be trip, N - fr • I , IE(ASk , ON TIIE BRITISH OA ST. mu repor* , on this subject, which is annually prepared by the Sur veyor General, was published on Saturday.

THE ENGLISH CHURCH IN PARIS. —Sir Stafford Nottlicote, in a letter to the John Bull, explains the pecuniary position of the Rev: Archer Gurney, of the English church in Paris. He says—" What is needed for the. maintenance of his church is the establishment of a committee who will make themselves responsible for its expenses." There are.several degrees of excommunication : the major excommunication is attended with very serious consequeliCes ; , for instance, it deprives a person of all participation in the public prayers which the Church makes for the faithful ; of the right of administering or receiving the sacraments; of the right of attending divine service, &c. Negotiations are going on between Paris and Turin fur the se:tlmient of the new boundary line between France and Piedmont. France desires to push her frontier as far as San Remo inclusively, while Sardinia only Understood the cession of Savoy as comprising the ;line of Turbia.

GLADSTONE AND THE CARLTON CLUB. —We (Northern IVAig) learn from a private source of infor mation, on which we can place every reliance, that on Wednesday last Mr. Gladstone withdrew his name from the Carlton Club. This step on the part of the right hon. gentleman is significant. It is indicative of his final separation from the Conservative party. Tilt TELEGRAVN IN FRANCE.—A reform which would be hailed by the commercial and industrial classes with great satisfaction is under serious consideration; it is the lowering of the tariff for telegraphic messages. Such a change can be effected without the least fear of any loss of revenue, since a reduction in the charges would certainly result in a large increase of business. DwoncE CASE.—A case of divorce against a lady, for some time resident in Bath, has been instituted. She is stated to be the wife of a banker ; and a local gentleman, said to be an admirer, has been selected as co-respondent, We hear that the celebrated Field, of the London constabularly, has been engaged here in the matter for some time.—Bath Jothnal, Tun REV, A.

ANOTHER CASt OF EXCESSIVE MORTALITY ON BOARD A TRANSPORT Sum—The Dudbrook, just arrived in Bombay harbour, has on board 255 souls. The num ber. embarked at Southampton was 296, and there have been two births on board. The number of deaths, there fore, has been 43-1 adult female, 30 children between 1 and 12 years of age, bein g 16 per cent. of the whole number, and 6 infants — all the infants, in fact, under one year who were on board. The 28th Middlessx, better known as "The London Irish," are rapidly swelling their muster-roll, and are nut without hope that Prince Arthur Patrick may give' distinction to the corps by accepting the honorary colonelcy. We believe that the greatest difficulty in the way of so desirable an appointment lies in the extreme youth of the Prince, but that is one which, in the ease of H.R.H. as of humbler individual; will diminish itself every day. IisTIMIDATTON BY WORKMEN AT A BOLTON.COTTON MiL:..—On Monday, a young man named John Chap man, and eight others, were brought before the magis trates at Bolton, under the combination act, the third section of which enacts that if any person shall, by vio lence to the person or property, or by threats or intimi dation, force any workman to depart from his work, or return the same before it is finished, they shall be liable to imprisonment. They were then committed to prison for one month with hard labour. A very ingenious little drama, from the pen. of Col. Addison (well, known in Manchester), has been pro duced at the Lyceum, under the title of " The Abbe Vaudreuil." The object. is twofold—to give Mr. Calco an opportunity of painting and arranging a Wattea scene—a fanciful representation of a Pte champtre b the court of Louis XV., in the Parc-aux-Cerfs; and the other to afford Madame Celeste a part wherein she per forms numerous changes of costume and of character with her usual perfection and celerity. THE STATE OF THE SERPENTINE.—There is reason t') believe that the committee are agreed as to the nature of their report. They will recommend, first, that all present works shall be stopped; in fact, they have been closed. Secondly, that the bottom of the Serpentine shall be levelled, and that the bed shall be either of concrete or, gravel ; that the proposed system of filtration will mot answer the purpose required, and that it is advisable that a constant stream of fresh water to a certain amount should be supplied to the Serpen tine A CELEBRITY AT BaussErs.--The funeral of a local celebrity took place at Brussels on Friday afternoon, and was attended by thousands of people. The deceased was a shoeing-smith at St. Josse-ten-Noode, popularly known as " Mayor of the 13th century," but his real name was Joseph Schools. This artisan, whose genea logy can be traced back at least four centuries, and whose ancestors, from father to son, have carried on the same business on the same premises for 300 years, met with his death by falling down the steps of a cellar, and facturing his.skull. The excommunication of Cavour (says the Paris correspondent of the Star) causes little emotion. The population. of Sardinia repeat with immense glee the repartee said to have been uttered by the King upon the • subject, when Cavour, in anticipation of the catas trophe, laughingly sought his consolation in the idea that he would net lon g stand alone thus disgraced, but that the King would shortly be, sent by the Pope to bear him company. " No, no, Cavour," replied Victim Emmanuel, " I may follow you to the gates'of but will never enter with you." SINGULAR CAUSE OP ANNOYANCE TO A HORSE. A day or two since a carriage and a pair of horses were left standing at a shop, in London-street, Greenwich, the person in charge a gentleman representing a metropolitan firm—leaving the horses with their nose bags on. A few minutes afterwards the horses became frightened and ran across the street, but were secured by the groom, who seized a whip and was about niing it to the most f r i g ht ene d o f th e an i ma l s . At this moment the traveller came out, and curiosity - leading him to examine the nose hag of the frightened horses to his surprise 'a live mouse was discovered among the provender. A SINGULAR CASE OF DESERTION. —A correspon dent informs us that a young gentleman, - serving as master's assistant on board one of the ships at Vancou ver's, not long ago left with the intention of deserting, but was apprehended and brought back to the ship. He stated, as a reason for wishing to desert, the impossibi lity of living On his pay, and that, having no private means, he preferred quitting the service to running into debt. The officers on this station have to pay 12s. a dozen for washing, and everything else is upon a scale equally exorbitant, There is no smaller coin used there than a sixpence; and no officer, particularly a junior officer, can support himself on his pay. The Narford Portrait of Blake, brought to London a few months ago,- has been carefully cleaned. It is a splendid picture, wholly unlike the conventional portraits of the illustrious admiral, but agreeing pretty closely with the authentic notices of his personal appearance left by contemporaries. All the points of character are brought out in a very brilliant photograph copy made by Mr. Thurston Thompson for the biographer of Blake. The external evidence is unusually good. The picture has been at Narford certainly about 150 years, along with a gallery of famous and heroic contemporaries of Blake —notably, portraits of Montrose and Kenelm Digby. It is mentioned by Bloomfield, in his " History of Norfolk," as being there in 1737 .--Athenceuio. SINGULAR OCCURREN CE. —The other morning, a very strange accident happened in a house just building at the north end of Manor-place. Edinburgh. A pheasant, it is supposed pursued by a hawk, flew against a large pane of plate glass in the drawing-room window, and from the extreme velocity it had attained—probably fifty miles an hour—instantly passed through it, smash ing it to pieces. The death of the pheasant, a very fine cock, was of course instantaneoas. It may be an interesting problem for some persons to ascertain the exact amount of pressure, in pounds weight, which bore upon the glass at the moment of fracture. The only additional element required to obtain this is the weight of the pheasant, which was precisely 31bs.—Scotsinan. SHOCKING OMNIBUS ACCIDENT AT DONCASTER.—On Saturday afternoon an accident happened at Doncaster, which resulted seriously. A Market omnibus was return ing from Doncaster to Wiest, Lincolnshire; and it bad not left the town before the fore axle broke, and the passengers in the errtnihus were precipitated one upon the other, and a Mrs, Dickenson, of Tunnel Pits, was thrown under the wheels, and sustained a serious frac ture of the right leg. rMr. Rusling, the driver, Mr. Brown, and others, were much hurt, but not so much so as to prevent them returning home the same - night. Mrs. Dickenson was in a most dangerous state on Sun day, but in the evening her medical adviser considered her somewhat better. It is but a few month; since a similar accident occurred. The 'tins was a new one. CorroN FROM J4mAlcA.—By the last packet but One, samples of cotton picked from stray trees of at least seven years' growth in the parishes of St. Andrew (mountains and level), St. Elizabeth, Manchester, and the city of Kingston and Spanish Town, were received in this country by the promoters of the propOsed Jamaica' Cotton-growing Company (at 55, Charing-cross). These various samples have been submitted to Thos. Baseley, - Esq.; M.P.; Thos. ' Clegg,- Esq., and -- the Manchester Cotton Supply Association, fur" valuation. There is very little difference in their estimates, the lowest of which are Bd., 7d., Bd., 84d:, and 14d. ;- the average being-Bd. per lb., and of the feur lower kinds 7,0., which is full 25 • per cent. above l that of the American cottons, excepting the Sea Island. SUPPOSED .114 URDER AT STA 11FORD.—A few days ago we described the death by burning of a woman living alone at St. Martin's. Stamford. At the inquest held at the-time it was decided that her death was accidental, but from cir , umstances which have since come to the knowledge of the police it is suspected that the deceased was murdered by strangling, and application has been made to the Secretary of State fir permission to exhume the body. A man named Henry Corhy has been arrested on suspicion, and it is , understood that some jewellery and plate which belonged to the deceased has since her death been seen in the possession of the prisoner, and that he has lately heen.dealing witli a OcinsiqeMble stun of money, whereas, last week, he was known to, he in straitened circumstances. The prisoner stands remanded until to-morrow (Thursday). VOLUNTEER Gossie.—Our friends in g reen and grey are all full of hope that the sugg es ti on which we threw out some months since for a grand Volunteer review in Hyde-park during the summer, in the presence of the Sovereign, may yet receive confirmation. As yet, we believe, notwithstanding what may be affirmed to the contrary,. that " the wish is father to the thought," and that, beyond, there are no grounds as yet for any announcement on the subject. The railway companies ere, of couva;e, quite, on tl.e qui rive, and have, we under stand, offered to give volunteers a return ticket from any part of the kingdom to the metropolis and back at half a fare. There can be no doubt but that a grand parade of 100,000 men or so iu the presence of the Queen would give an immense impetus to the move ment, not to speak of the moral effect of such a military display on our Continental neighbours. SHOCKING TRAGEDY IN ANIERIC&.—The New York Herald of the 1-ith instant says :—" On the morning of the Bth,, a man named Tinter. died at Syracuse, from taking poison. lie first poisoned his two children, aged about eight and six years, and having laid them out and folded their hands upon their breasts, he left them in an unoccupied room where some of his furni ture was stored, and went to his hotel and took the poison himself. On the previous Tuesday, he poisoned a horse belonging to Dr. Searles, of the same city, and it is supposed that he intended, to shoot Dr. Searles, as a loaded pistol was found on, him. • The cause was the estrangement of his wife and her intimacy with Dr. Searles, under the influence, of free love principles. Great excitement exists, and Dr. Searles has been locked up in the penitentiary to protect him from the indigna tion of the citizens." THE WILTS PEERAGE.—Mr. Simon T. Sorope, of Danby, Yorkshire, has preferred a claim to the anciehe Earldom of Wiltshire, which, if allowed, will place that gentleman above the Earl of Shrewsbury, as Premier Earl in the Peerage of England. Mr. Scrope claims that title as heir male, and representative of the unfortunate earl to whom Shakspeare alludes in his " Henry 1V.," and who was executed by the Duke of Lancaster (afterwards King H enr y i v . ) at Bristol, in 1399. Her Majesty has referred the petition to the Attorney-General, and it has been favourably reported on by that legal functionary, and the claim has there fore been laidsformally before the HOuseof Lords, who have referred it in the usual course to the Committee of Privileges, and it is-eaufidently expected that they will come- to a final decision, upon its merits tinting the present parliamentary . seision.. DISTRESSING SurclDC—On Saturday morning Mr. Payne, the deputy coroner for the City of London and Southwark, received information of the death of James Grant, aged 18 years, who committed suicide under the following circumstances :—A youth named Thomas Clare, a clerk in the employment of MesSrs. Mappin Brothers, cutlers, King William-street, City, absconded with a large sum of money, and with . another_ youth named Frederick Edglington, went - Ito . Rt . -Sep, "where they were apprehended by detective Jarvis, of the city police, brought to Loudon, and committed to Newgate, and are now awaiting their trial for the robbery. The deceased was seen with the two former, and was watched by a detective officer. This seemed to prey on his mind. On the inmates going into the yard, No i 2, Pitcher-building, Little Bell-alley, London-wall, they found him hanging from a nail by a rope. A surgeon was sent for, but life was quite extinct. W. H. RUSSELL'S DIARY IN • INDIA.—The last mail has brought us a book which will perhaps be more extensively read than any literary production of the new year. Its subject and the talent of its author will make it attractive wherever English books can come. In India its interest must be specially strong, and to the cursory reader it will bring no disappointment. Nor does it disappoint us. "My Diary in India, by W. H. Russell, - LL.D., special correspondent of the Times," must be graphic, dashing, and vivid in its sketches and colouring of what passed before its author's eyes. It is so. But from his monstrous assumption and contempt for " old Indians " and all they could teach him, it must necessarily. be rife with the blunders of the rawest griffinhood. It is so. Having measured Mr. Russell and his letters, against the facts 'he perverted and the baseless false ltods he asserted therein, we expected to find either, reiterated misrepresentation,, or gross inconsistency between them and 'the new book. We fiud both in abundance. Having been amused with the cool merits, ness with which " Clyde" and " Mansfield" and "Wilson" and the rest are. Occasionally shown up as doing kotou to the leviatlianof the press, we w ere yet hardly prepared for the unutterable snobbism which runs through "My Diary."

After' visiting various points and islands to the north (some of which contained good harbours, and were very fertile), they proceeded up Edgecumbe Bay, and at the bottom of it discovered a fine capacious harbour, which has been named Port Denison, and which would contain nearly all the ships in the world, sheltered from all winds, with a depth of from two to three fathoms of water within a cable's length of the shore, and about seven to ten in the middle. The mountains are about thirty miles distant; and the intervening Seabord is capable of producing cotton, sugar, or any other produce of tropical climates. Here, therefore, is a tract of land in British possessions, within the tropics, where cotton 'flight be produced in abundance, with the assistance of Chinese labour. FEARFUL BOILER EXPLOSION IN AMERICA.---On . the morning of the 6th inst. (says the Yew York Herald) the shores of the Delaware River, below the bridge, at Easton, were crowded with persons to witness the Alfred Thomas, a little steamer, with about forty persons on board. The steamer, on arriving at the falls, a short distance above the bridge, was moored for a short time. When all was ready to start again, the boiler exploded with a terrible crash, pieces flying in every direction, and the ,bunt ttecoming Wan instant a complete wreck, Some of the passengers were thrown fifty feet, into thg .air, others were blown off into the water and slightly injured, and others were dreadfully mangled. The sight upon the land wi4 truly heart-rending. • The torn limbs of the poor sufferers, and the pre§euce.of those who were -ia search-oLfriends. supposed to, be among .the deatl, formed a sight to make the stoutest heart feel sad. The physicianS• of the borough hastened .to the assistance of the sufferers, and did all in their power .to alleviate their tatiffeiings. e r ' . BANKRUPTS.

SUIT AGAINST THE « TIMES." CHANCERY COURT. (Before Vice-Chancellor Wool)) This suit has been instituted by the plaintiffs, the Patent Type Foundry Company, against the proprietor of the Times, for using, in the • printin g of that paper, type which they believe has been manufactured in viola tion of their patent rights, by introducing ,tin to a small extent into •its composition. His Honour made an order directing the defendant to permit Mr. Johnson, the secretary of the Patent Type Foundry 'Company, and Dr. Ftankland, chemist, to inspect the type used by the Times, and also directing the defendant 'to hand over to the plaintiffs 'four ounces of the type for the purpose of being analysed. The Marquis de la Coussaye, who lately died in his villa, on the banks of the peaceful lake of Enghien, 'four miles from Paris, left a rather eccentric legacy. Ile bequeathed a sum of 50,000 fr. to the commune of .Enghien upon trust, to pay the interest thereof every year to some well-conducted girl for her marriage por tion, but upon this condition that the maiden to be annually elected shall, in the month of May, place a .garland upon the testat or ' s t om b w ith one hand, while she'' receives her fortune with the other.
