TELEGRAPHIC NEWS. [By British and Irish Magnetic Telegraph.] AUSTRIA. The presence of the Count of Syracuse, brother to the King of Naples, at Vienna, has not any political significance THE LIVERPOOL INS t'ITUTE-HALF- BA.RLY DISTRIBUTION OF PRIZES. The half-yearly distribution of prizes and testimonials of merit in connection with the schools of the Liverpool Institute, took place i❑ the theatre of the institute at seven o'clock last night. There was a very crowded atten dance of the frien is of puails. The chair was taken by Mr. E. S. Samuels, who introduced in a few words the object of the assembly, remarking that the value of a prize was shown by the fact, that out of 500 pupils only 21 prizes were distributed. Mr. AsTauP CARIiS, the Secretary, then read over the list, and each b )3 , on being called up, received some appro priate words of encouragement and commendation from Mr. M'llween, the principal. _ _ he following is tlid list of privs, testimonials, &c, HIGH SCHOOL. The testimonials are the hik.eit honours which are conterred in this institute, anil are given only to boys of irreproachable conduct in the senior side of the school; and who have made, in the opinion of at least four of their teachers, superior progress in each[of their depart• ments. The following is a list of the names of the successful candidates fir this year ; PRIZE PUPILS. L•B9 A. Henry Miller. Robert Leighton. Jotteph William Imray, Robert Marples, Fi*zgerald Gibson Ed , nund B. Eeart, George Edwards, Joh,' Johnstone, Henry Sewill, Junes W. Wade, W. C. Millar.

After the testimonials have been conferred, there still remain a large number of atten• ive . and industrious boys who have made marked progress in one or more subj.cts of their course of instruction ; these acquire strong claims to the favourable notice of their teaches, and ar•e distin guished under the title of the " honourably mentioned.'

It must be admitted that, contrary to general expectation, the elections are becoming very ani mated. It is true that the animation is as yet confined to the candidates, but the movement seems to be on the increase, and may gain the electors before it stops. The Prefects are doing their best to stir up the Mayors, and the Mayors do their best to rouse the ardour of the peasants. The mairie of Bordeaux is said to have accompanied the voting tickets which he issued to the indigent electors of that place with another ticket for sfr. each. Great exertions are being made to effect a com bination between the Siecle and the Estafette, who, as you are aware, present different candidates for Paris, though both are going on the Democratic interest. An opportunity is offered by the refusal of one of the Siecie's candidates, M. Reyneau, sub-Prefect of Sceaux under the Republic. If a reconciliation be effected, M. Eugene Pelletan, a name well known in the Democratic press, would be admitted. No great hope, however, is enter tained of uniting these sections of the party, and the division is likely to last. The ratifications of the treaty relative to the Canton of Neufchatel were exchanged at the foreign-office at two o'clock to-day. The Moniteur de l'Arniee publishes a letter from Algeria, dated Souk-el-Arba, the 7th June. It announces that in a few days will have been laid the foundation of Fort Napoleon, the futre Euro pean capital of the Beni-Raten, lately the most indomitable of the Kabyles, unless, *after having traversed Kabylia between the Djendjura and the Sebaon, a more perfect political capital may be found among the Beni.Yahia. It is said that at the last Cabinet Council, a memorandum was communicated from M de Thou venal, which was lately received from Constanti nople. It appears* from this document that the union of the Danubian Provinces is likely to be voted by the Divans in Wallachia, but not in Mol davia. 'The Prussian and Sardinian Ministers at Constantinople, who, with M. de Thouvenal, support the policy of the union, are of a similar opinion. Sad-Medjid, the new Imaum of Muscat and of Zanzibar, has ordered the construction in a French dockyard of two steam corvettes for his war navy, which now comprises forty sailing vessels. The last accounts from Mexico announce that despatches had been received there from Italy to the effect that the Court of Rome had refused, under existing circumstances, to open negotiations with the government of General Comonfort for the conclusion of a Concordat. TURKEY. CONSTANTINOPLE, JUNE 5 The regulations suppressing the trade in black slaves have been put into full vigour. Only a few days ago the Kangaroo, an English steamer, belong ing to a native merchant, which brought troops from Egypt, was visited by Captain Glyn, of her Majesty's ship Copkette, stationed on the Bos phorus, and six negro slaves taken out of her and given over to the Turkish authorities. The brigandage which had rednced Epirus and Thessaly into a state of anarchy since the war has been completely suppressed. A. score of brigands have been executed, and about 80 await their judg ment in the prisons. The merit in this case is due to Mahommed Pasha, Governor of these two pro vinces, and to his Lieutenant Hussui Pasha in Bariesa. Even the delicate question of financial reform has commenced, and I am happy to say not with out success. Every department has made some reduction in its own expenses. They are perhaps not so extensive as they might have been, but still they amount to a yearly sum of 100,000/,which is not a little, if one considers that hitherto the habit was not to retrench, but rather tc increase the expendi ture and the budget in every way. On the other hand one branch of the revenue at any rate has been considerably augmented, and that without any detriment to the people. This branch of the revenue is the Customs department. They are farmed, as you know, and every year in the spring an auction takes place. Each district is farmed separately, and in three of the districts—Smyrna, Salonica, and Beyrout—the sum has this year been greatly increased. As the duties remain the same, the increase is paid by the rich contractors out of their enormous profits. SPAIN. MADRID, JUNE 12, The Mexican question seems for the' present completely at a stand still. The Spanish Govern• ment does not at the present moment actively press its demands, and it is to be hoped it will not be driven to do so by the opposition in the Cortes and press. It is to be regretted that greater ex pedition could not be used in the trial of the criminals concern e d in the late outrages, but the delay does not appear to be the fault of the Mexi can Government, but of the circumstauces of the 'country, and especially of the remote and Unsettled district in which the trial takes place. special Commissioner has been sent thither from the capital, and the Mexicans protest that no time is being lost. They utterly deny that the ' o utrages in question are of a political nature, and t hat the persons engaged in them were either in Government employ or instigated by any one authorised to represent the Government. As I have already informed you, the last despatches received did not advance the question on jot towards a settlement ; but others are expected here on Monday, whi c h it i s b e li ve d h ave b een brought .by Senor Montes, late Mexican Minister of Foreign, Affairs, and who has arrived in Paris on 1118 way to Rome; and then, it is hoped, may be of greater importance. The government having positively refused to accept the amendments made by the committee in the l aw on the press, they have been withdrawn, and the report identical in all essent i a l points with toe Ministerial project, will probably be presented theh Chamber to-day. on specie on Board the steamer Duero, wrecked part oefeatalonian coast has been saved, and a so t the vessel cargo.

The annual examination of the pupils educated at the above institution took place last evening, at the college. There was a large attendance of the relatives and friends of the pupils present on the occasion, to witness the distri bution of the prizes to their children. The room in which the distribution of prizes took place was adorned with a number of specimens of drawing. mapping, writing, &c, which reflected the highest amount of credit to the pupils, and showed at once the attention and care that had been bestowed upon them by the assistants at the college, under the admirable manage ment of the principal, Dr. D. J. Poggi. The Rev. Mr. Roberts, of Seacombe, presided. After 2, suitable prayer, the pupils sung, " Now, pray we for our country," in a very good style. Then followed the recitations. In this department some of the pupils displayed much ability. The following are the names of the pupils who took a pit in this portion of the evening's recreation : Thomas Henry Seddon, The Art of Happiness ;" John R. C. Lowry, "On a Dove ;" Henry Hyde Carr, "Lod gings for• Single Gentlemen ;" George P. Lowry, "Dieu ;" George H. Fagan, " Jupiter's Address to Venus ;" Charles G. Poggi, "L' Ange et 1' Enfant ;" William Furness, "The Newcastle Apothecary ;" Parallel George Brown, "Le Petit Savoyard a Paris ;" Robert T Webber, " Ma ternal Distress over a Dying Child." The recitations having been concluded, the pupils sung " Rule Britannia" with good effect. The Rev. President then rose and said—Ladies and gentlemen, It is row my duty to bring before you the report of the examinations which I am happy to say is most creditable and satisfactory. It is not necessary now that I should' sneak of the merits of the college, as it has been too long established and too well known, to need any com ment from me, but I conuot allow this oppor unity to pass over,—and I have daily experience of the care, attention, and zeal of Dr. Poggi, and Mrs. Poggi to the comforts, instruction and well being of the pupils under their care. It is also satisfactory to the parents of the pupils to know that the examination has been under the Rev. Mr. Fowell, of New Brighton, who would have been present on this occasion but is unavoidably absent ; however, he has sent the following : • Withinfield-terrace, June 17th. Dear Sir,—l regret that other engagements prevent me from being present this evening to testify publicly the pleasure and satisfaction with which I have conducted the examination of your scholars; but I gladly avail myself of this method of stating my conviction, that the system of instruction which you adopt in New Brikllton College seems likely to be very success ful in training the young committed to your care for future usefulness. The boys who have come under my notice, though younger than usual, have acquitted themselves very creditably —are being well pounded in the elements of Latin, Greek, and Mathematics, as also, in the yet more important knowledge of Scrip'm e truth and Christian doctrine. Two boys—Fagan and Allbut—have particularly distinguished themselves on this occasion, and would, I believe, hear comparison with boys of their own age in any of our large public schools. I have g (at pleasure in presenting each of them with a prize for the admirable manner in which they have mastered the subjects I selected, viz., St. Mark's Gospel, Epistle to the Galatians, part of St. JOhn's Gospel in Greek, Scripture History, the Articles, and Catechism. Their answers on these subjects displayed careful study and much intelligence. Fagan also exhibited accurate acquaintance with Latin subjects, and has all the elements of good scholarship about him, which I trust he will be encouraged to cultivate and improve by further study. I may also add that the arithmetical and algebraical papers were most satisfactory. Of the rest, though it may seem invidious to make distinctions where all are so nearly equal, I cannot for bear to mention the name of J. Nixon, who seems likely, with application, to make an excellent scholar. His Greek Testament was very creditable to so young a boy, and I have, therefore, enclosed a third prize, to encourage him to increased diligence and perseverance. Some need a word of caution for the carelessness with which they have marred papers that would otherwao have done them credit ; but, on the whole, I have good reason to congratulate you on the efficiency and success of your teaching, and shall be glad to bear that your careful labours are rewarded with a large increase of pupils during the ensuing year. With best wishes for the continued prosperity of New Brighton College, I am, dear sir, yours very truly, B. D. POWELL. The Rev. Chairman then proceeded .to present the prizes that had be en awarded to the under-mentioned pupils, for their proficiency in the following studies : Captain's Prize Ist Class Algebra 2nd Do. G. P. Lowry. Ist Euclid 2nd Do. Elementary Geometry . John Parry and P. nnesley Garrett—equal. George Fagan. John Nixon. Owen Thomas. Henry Davis & R. Webber —equal.

Mr. Roberts, by the pupils of the Col lege. A. deputation from the pupils, in presenting this most elegant token of their respect, read the following address, which was most beautifully emblazoned in gold, a copy of which was handed to many of the parties present TO THE REV. E. ROBERTS, M.A , INCUMBENT OF ST. PAUL'S, SEACOMBE Rev. and Dear Sir,—Conscious of the blessings which have attended your pastoral care among us, we, the pupils of the New Brighton College, beg to be allowed to present you with a small token of our esteem and affectionate regard. Yonr con nection with us for the period of ten years has been one of unmixed pleature, shared by our near, as well as by our distant, friends, whenever, in returning to our homes, we have spoken to them of our affection for your person, and our grati tude for your kindnesFt towards us, who recognise in you the sound and earnest preacher of the Gospel, the affectionate pastor, and the proved friend of this institutien. Begging your acceptance of the accompanying Bible, with our earnest prayer to our Ilea venl y Father, that He may vouchsafe to you, and to every member of your family, all spiritual and temporal blessings,—We are, rev, and dear sir, your humble servants, THE ACTING COMMITTEE, The PRESIDENT, expressing his surprise at having had such a present made to him, briefly acknowledged the com pliment and stated that he should never forget the happy days he had spent in the college and said that the bible he had been presented with should be handed down to his chil dren's children, as an heirloom, and expressed a hope that the givers, as well as those into whose hands it would fall, would ever obey the precepts contained therein. Dr. Pooos then in suitable and thankful terms, proposed a vote of thanks to the President, which was seconded by Mr. Godfrey, and unanimously carried. A vote of thanks was also proposed and seconded by Dr. Poggi and the Rev. Mr. Powell, to the Rev. Mr. Fowell, for the able matter in which he had conducted the examination of the pupils, and the time and attention he had bestowed upon it. This having been duly responded to, this agreeable evening's entertainment concluded by the pupils, singing the " National Anthem." THE SUNKEN VESSELS IN SEBASTOPOL HARBOUR. , --It is well known that in order to prevent the entry of the allied fleet into Sebastopol the Russian commander-in,chief sank in succession three lines of vessels, one behind the other, and that in the night which followed the eaptuic of the Melakoff and the town of Sebastopol, the Russians sank all the other vessels that happened to be in the port. A certain number, which were anchored near the shore, and in rather shallow water, were grounded rather than sunk, and reedved but very trifling damage. These arc the vessels which were taken up, and which have been re paired at Nicolaieff. Among tl'em are the Pruth, the Chersonese, the Reni, the Danube, the Eoile du Nerd, the Silatch, and the Ordinanetz, all small steamers. As to the line-of-baltle chips, frigates, and other vessels, either s!7eamers or sailing ones, which were sink to form the three lines alluded to, it has been found impossible to moic them. They are deeply embedded in the sand, above the bilge, and are heavily laden with stones and other articles, which were conveyed on board in order to keep them firmly in their places. As their masts and rigging have been removed, they do not in any way impede the navigation, which is confined to merchant vessels, since, according to the terms of the treaty of Paris, vessels of war are ex : eluded from the Black Sea, with the exception of a certain number of small ones.

A public meeting was held last night in the Hope Hari, Rope-street, to prom , )te the objects of the 'United King& rn Alliance for the snppreesion of the. licoor rroffie. The chair was taken, at eight o'clock, by:• the Rev. Carrion Jenkins, M.A., of Dowlais. The attendance was very numerous. Among the gentlemen on the platform were— Rev. Mr. Strinthal, Rev. Alexander .M.,.eltay, of Antrim, Hon. Judge Marshall, Mr. Wilson, Mr. 3: K, Kng. M . Kerr, &c. The meeting was opened with prayer. Toe Cif,titt:WAN said, that they were in a.very eperonriae place—the hall of " Hope." In [heir agitation on This que tion of the liquor traffic, they could as yet scarcely ;.70 beyond the language of Hope. They Hoped theemfg' t succeed in it, and they aped that the gaol woe.; reigar go on. A very wise man had said, " Iron sheep eeeh iron, and man sharreeth tlaa countee ance of his friend ;" and so their object in coming together that night was to sharpen one another, to provoke each other to good works, to inspire each other with Rhine Law principles. In that spirit the Minis'erial conference was he'd last week in Manchester, and he een fidently anticipated that the effect of that cenfereece would be to give confidence, to their mavement, which had hitherto halted between two opinions. He thoucht the Maine Law might be compared to a book c mtaening oil, two pages—one page full of the dismal, misery, poverty, and evil. What was it that filled the • world wieh wretchedness and misery ? What WAS it that svgs join like a mighty torrent thronth the leng•th and br,aillit the laud, increasing taxation, filling our gaols, filing - our asylum, destroying the bade, destroying the soul, a reigh bar to social heppineea, and the success and progreas of religion ? The chief c erne in this country was intemperance. (Hear, hear) It was the love of drink—it was the traffic in intoxica:ing liquors, on which £75,000,000 of money were spent anfiu lily. (Hear, hear.) An astounding fact. The book had another page more delightful—the removal of this misers', this wretchedness—which, however, could only be removed by the suppression of the liquor traffic as now carried on• in this country. (Hear, he tr.) He readily adriatteet that other agencies could do much to inapt-cve :he world. Edueetiolt would go far to improve it ; but would education remove the temptation to intoxicatien ? It would not, and other agencies besides education were, therefore, r, , qaired. It, might be asked if it were their intention to go at once to parliament and ask for a legislative measure to put dove the liquor traffic. No, it was not; they were not yet pre— pared for it. The advocates of the Maine Law would not at present accept s:lett a measure even if it were offered by parliament. What, then, was their objec, ? In the word , . of O'Connell, to "agitate, agitate"—to convince the country by reason and argument, and stubborn facts of the desira bleness, the necessity and the benefit that would flow from such a law. When they had done that, their work would be accomplished ; for then with one voice they would demand the suppression of the liquor traffic. (Applause.) The Rev. Mr. STEINTHAL proposed the first and only resolution submitted to the meeting. It was as follows : —" Whereas, it has been proved that the greater part of the pauperism, disease, and crime, under which this country suffers, is directly or indirectly the result of the traffic in intoxicating liquors—resolved that the United Kingdom Alliance, for the suppression of that traffic, deserves the earnest and active support of all true patriots, and pbilantrophists ; and that a committee, to consist of not more than twenty-five gentlemen, be appointed to carry out the objects of the Alliance in Liverpool." He observed, that not a day passed in which he did not find some evidence staring him in the face, of the evils caused by intemperance. All agreed that intemperance was the chief cause of all the evils under which this country suffered ; but the difference between Maine Law men and anti-Maine Law men lay in the nature of the remedy for, and its application to, those evile. He maintained that it was the result of the liquor traffic, and as they found drunkenness among men of education, and • even among the ministers of the Gospel, they could only hope for its removal by abolishing the cause. The rev. gentleman then proceeded to argue the necessity for a law to suppress this traffic, and maintained that when at any time distilation ,was prevented in Ireland, or surrounded with difficulties, as had occasionally been the case in England and \Valeta the people at once became prosperous, and crime rapidly decreased in the country. The reverse was the case now— public-houses abounded, and so did crime. In Liverpool there was a public-house to every 160 of the inhabitants, while there was but one place of worship to every . 2,37B of the inhabitants. Could they, then, be astonished at the scenes which they daily witnessed in the town. In conclu sion, the reverend gentleman urged that the same power in regard to the Maine Law should be given to every community, similar to that which they now enjoyed under the Peblic Libraries' and Health Acts, to reject or adopt it if they pleased. The resolution, which was seconded by Mr. Kerr, and supported by Judge Marshall and the Rev. Mr. Mackay, was unanimously adopted. The meeting closed with a vote of thanks to the chair man. ABDUCTION OF A JEWESS. BEFORE LORD CAMPBELL AND A SPECIAL JURY. THE QUEEN v. Ertessie.—This case was tried in the Court of Queen's Bench, yesterday. It will be remem bered that the defendant in this case was indicted at the Old Bailey, on the charge of felony, in inducing the daughter of a Jew, named Goodman, to elope with him, she being under 16 years of age. The trial was removed by a writ of certiorari to this court, and came on, yesterday morning for trial. The defendant had been in the Austrian army, but is at present in the Middle sex Militia. Mr. Serjeant Ballantine appeared for the Crown, and Mr. Sergeant Shee for the defendant. Mr. Sergeant Ballantine stated the case. This was a matter of great importance to the public, and the charge against the defendant was of a very grave character. The indictment was preferred under the 9th of George 111., cap. 31, sec. 2, which made it a felony to entice from her home a girl under sixteen years of age. The girl whose abduction formed the subject of the indictment, was living with her father and mother, at 3570. 106, New-road, Hammersmith. up to the beginning of last August. Her mother was at that time in very bad health, and had since died, though he did not mean to attribute to the defen dant's conduct that event. Her father had to attend to avocations in the City, so that the young girl was left very much to heself, and the society of another girl, a cousin, about her own period of life. In their walks they met the defendant, who, on the first occasion, entered into conver sation with Miss Goodman, the latter, from her tender years, not having the discretion to repeal his advances. Having remained for some time after wards at Hammersmith, Mr. Goodman removed with his family to Brighton, where the defendant followed them, and renewed his intercourse with Miss Good man, to whom he expressed himself very warmly. The family then returned to London, still followed by the defendant, who ultimately induced her to elope with him. During the whole of this time the defendant represented that his views were honourable, that he intended to marry the girl, and was only prevented from doing so by the fact of his mother being very religious, and opposed to his marriage with a Jewess. He added, however, that if she would go abroad with him to Brtusele, he would write to his mother in Frankfort, who, he stated, would consent to the marriage if it were not celebrated in England. In consecinence of these representations, Miss Goodman was induced to leave her father in August last, and proceeded, first to Boulogne, and then to Amiens. Previous to leaving her father, she stated that she was going on a visit to a female relative, but her absence excited apprehension, and on inquiries being made, the father ascertained the truth, and instantly followed the fugitives, whom he traced to Boulogne, which they had left before his arrival. He then lost alt clue to them. From Amiens the defendant and Miss Goodman proceeded to Mayence. Though the defendant did not fulfil his promise of marrying her, she did not apprehend, that he intended to ruin her, but at length he admitted that he was a married man, and she then vefused to cohabit with him any longer, Quarrels ensued, and he subsequntly abandoned her at the Hotel in Mayence, where they had been staying. She then wrote to her father, who came to Mayence, and with whom she returned to London. Previous to their departure they met the defendant, who followed there to the trier, and the father said that if ever he (defendant) came to England he would give him into custody. It was not Mr. Good man's intention to have taken any steps against the defendant until the beginning of last April, when he was seen loitering about by Miss Goodman, who at once communicated the circumstance to her father. The police were then instructed to apprehend the defendant, who was taken into custody, and the present proceedings were instituted. The learned counsel having cited the celebrated case of the " Queen v. Manklow," in which the law on thirt question had been Isid down, called Rose Gcodman, who gave her evidence in a very low tone, and who is stated to be about 15 years old. In addition to the details 'of the learned counsel, she stated in her evidence, that she refused to accede to the proposals of the defendant several timee.—Cross-examined by Mr. Serjeaut Shea: Went several times, while living at Hammersmith, to the militia barracks, at Turnham Green, in company with ter cousin, Rosa Cowan. Had not spoken to the officers before she became acquainted with Captain Erlam. Captain Erlam gave her his card, but she never told him where she lived: She gave the card to her father some time after she received it. Made an appointment at Brighton to meet the defendant, and on one occasion threw out of the window an envelope stating the hour she would meet him. Did not know that the woman with whom she was lodging at Brighton was not married to the person who passed for her husband. The eross-examination of the witness pr ,ceecle i with, with the object. of showing that the flther if the girl was a consenting party, but it was satisfactorily pro ed that he was tot. Evidence was given proving that Miss Go,ltirnan was not sixteen years old ; whereupon Mr. geant retir d from- the case, and the jury, under his lordship's direction, ietorned a verdict of guilty. The lefeedant wis then cAed, and his lordship havi! g cmn fnentecl on the enormity of djendar,t's c oidue, r; to irked that he w ul l infli,t a 11.3 'vier puni,hment than he intended do,.if there .were not mitigitisg circa mstan-Tes in the ease.

WiSMIAN.-Thii was an action brought in the Cann of Q Bench, yesterd , y, by the Roux against Cardinal Wiftnian, to recover damage. f)r the toss of a (191211nore - , whereby th 3 P incess Letiria Wyse, the wife of the British Minister at Athen-,and cousin of the Emperor Louis Napoleon, acknowledged that she was indeb ed to the pleintiffin a certain sum of money. The tri 11 took place at Gloucester, before Mr. Justice Cro vdsr. 'ethic, a verdict Vns returned for the plaintiff. The rule, which had been subsequently obtained by Arr. Keating, the-present riolicitor-General, for a ne w trial, on the ground of the verdict being against the evidence, and exeessive damages, now came on for argument. Mr. Berjeant Pigoe, with whom wee Mr. Hudelestone, now shove l'2 els, ag oinst the rule. He submi , ted that there was abundant evidence to support the verdict, and said the try who ha .1 tried the cise had en opportunity which their lordships had not, of seeing the respective par ties and drawing their own conclusions as tc•which party was eider mistaken, or nad intent.to ally inie stated the facts. The history of the matter was this : —ln 1845 the Abbe 7 z.oux heard that Alilarne Wyse and her eh ldren were in a state of distress, and having subsequently become acquainted wite her, he found that the representatione which had been made were correct. He took an iuterest in the lady, anl endeavoured to assist her t) the best of hit p ower. He b gall by paying some steal' and very pressing debts and then advanced money to enable her to dress the children, whe wore ill provided wiit clothing, and also a considera ble sum in order to free her from an imoending imprison ment, to which she had retderei herself liable by abstract ing some property subject to an execution. In this way he advanced her altogether abeu; 25,000 francs. On one occasion he brought under her notice receipts and vouchers to the amount of 2 i,OOO f-a , cs, ant the jury believed the debt to be a valid one. There was little or no resistance by the defendant to the exi-lance of the debt, and the evidence with re_ ssrd to it was quite conclusive. The vouchers and receipts were produced, and the acknowledg ment of the tot& sum due, in the handwriting of Madame Wyse, was put in evi ence, as were also the depositions of two persons who had seen the plaintiff pay money to her. The Solicitor General s ;id the different receipts and The, vouchers were not given in evidence. Mr. Justice Erle asked why they were not produced? Mr. Serjeant Pigott said he was nudee the impression that they had been. They were in the court at tee tr:al, and he had alluded to them in his speech to the jury, as if they were g yea in evidence. Tee only evidence against the existence of the debt was a statement of Mie2ame Wyse, who said that she had repaid nearly all she hod Forroweri, and that she owed the Abbe no more than 2,000 or 3,000 francs. Mr. Justice C:omptoe : Does she seggest any reason for signing the document ? Mr. Sergeant Pigott : Yes, but a special jury of the county of Gloucester did not believe it, and the weight of evidsnce was clearly against her. The Abbe said that being advised by the governess of Madame Wyse's children to have a settlement of his account, he brought all the recites aid vouchers to Madame Wyse, called over the different sums to her, and drew out an account of the money he had advanced, and that she then in French wrote an acknowledgment, dated Esp ternber, 1847, of which the following is a translation : " I, the undersigned, wife of Wyse. born Princess Letitia Buonaparte, having received from the Abbe Roux a sum. of 25,000 francs, which he lent me in ray very unfor tunate days—viz., 8,000 fr. in 184.5 , 12,000 fr. in 1846 ; and 5,000 fr. in 1847, and bring desirous that this money shall bring him 5 par cent. interest, I conjure who ever among my children may become the heir of his father's fortune, in case of my death before having ac quitted my debt to the Abbe Roux, not to forget that it is a sacred debt which should take precedence of all others." This document was entrusted to Cardinal Wiseman, for the purpose of showing it to the imperial family and getting the money paid, but the paper was not row forth coming ; and he had either destroyed it, converted it to his own use, or given it to Mr. Wyse, contrary to tae instruc tions of the plaintiff In 1847, the Abbe came to London to deliver up some bills of exchange to Mr. Wyse which his wife wished to negociate, and to effect a reconciliation between the parties He handed the bills to Mr. Wyse, who thanked him for them, but refused to accept his inter ference as to the disagreement between him and Madame Wyse. The Abbe then entrusted to Cardinal,Wiseman the acknowledgment for the 25,030 francs, in ord r that he might actae an "intermediary" between him and Mr. Wyse in obtaining paynient of the money, but Mr. Wyse repudiated it In November, 1847, the Abbe returned to Paris, leaving the document in the Cardinal's , possession, and nothing more took place with regard to it nett' , 1853, when Louis Napoleon became Emperor of Is'ranc7, rind was known to be paying the debts of the Buonaparne family% The Abbe was then desirous to get back the document, and applied for it to the Cardinal, who happeeedo to be in Paris, on his way to England from Rome. ThreCardinal said he recollected the document perfectly well. and that when he went back to London he would lock fior it among his papers, where he thought it was, and send it back to him. The Abbe, however, received no answer, and he went to London, whore , he saw the Cardinal, who said it had not been found; but that he would continue his search. Subsequently further appli cations were made for the missing document, and the answers given were much to the same effect, but it at length turned out that it had got into the hands of Mr. Wyse, by whom it had been mislaid or lost The plaintiff accordingly brought the present action, seed his arse at the trial was that he entrusted the document to the Cardinal as an "intermediary," on the understanAling that he was to show it to Mr.Wyse, but not to deliverit up to him until he paid the money. This was denied on the part of the defendant. The evidence adduced on both sides as to this point was conflicting, and the jury,. after a trial of fourteen or fifteen hours, returned a verdict for the plaintiff for £5OO. The learned counsel now wont minutely through the evidence, and contended that there was no reason for disturbing the verdict ; and as to the question of damages, that the jury had not made an exaggerated estimate of the value of the document. Mr. Griffiths followed on the same side. The Solicitor-General rose to address the court in support of the rule, when Mr. Justice Coleridge intimated that the court would adjourn far ten minutes. On the return of their lordships, Mr. Justice Coleridge said he was obliged to go to Chambers, and the court would hear the Solicitor-General at the sitting of the court on Friday, the 26th instant, to which day the case would be postponed. ABOMINABLE CHARGES. SENDING THREATENING} LET TEI3,S. At the Central Criminal Court, yesteth.y, Ilobecc3, Rice Hamilton, 33, a well-dressed woman, was indicted for felo niously sending a letter to William Dillingham, threatening to charge him with an abominable crime, in order to extort money. Mr. Bodkin and Mr. Fry conducted the prose cution. The prisoner was not defended by counsel. The prisoner was tried for a similar offence at the last sessions and acquitted. The charge arose out of these circum - stances. It appeared that for a. considerable period letters of the most a'zocious description wore received by the members of different mem:tit : lle firms in the City, charging them kvith offences of : the most abc-a'nE.ble description, unless a sum of money was paid to the writer and transmitted to an address mentioned in the letter. The city detective officers were employed to endeavour to trace the writers of these letters, but for a considerable time they were unable to obtain any clue to the guilty parties. The letter that was the subject of the indictment was received ou the 16th of February by the prosecutor, who is a surgeon, and who at that time resided in Moorgate street, and it was of the most disgusting character. He at once communicated with the police, and in consequence of information received by Bull and Thain, two convables of the city police, they proceeded to the lodgings of the pri soner in Bridgewater-square, and in a box in her room they found two other letters of a similar description, which were statiscl by, several witnesses to be in the handwriting of the prisoner, and similar evidence was also given with regard to the letter that was the subject of the inquiry. The prisoner, who was evidently a very shrewd, clever person, cross-examined the witnesses with a good deal of 1 ingenuity ; and when called upon for her defence, she declared that she was innocent, and she wished that two witnesses, named Emily Taylor and Mary Ann Cowell might be called on her behalf. They were accordingly examined, and they stated that they had received anonymous letters, in which they were, requested to say that the prisoner wrote the letters that were the subject of the charges against her. Thain, ti" officer, was re-called, and he stated in answer to. que'''' - 4 put by Mr. Bodkin, that he believed, thoae, "Jo.' ~.ions written by the prisoner. Mr. Ilnece l co. - „,ters were summed up,- the jury, after delibemikv- aatson, having returned a verdict of Guilty. T• 6 about half an hour, called up for judgment, a t o , .I.e prisoner was at once for life, sentenced to be transported
