marine-store dealer, Mill-street, Park, was brought up

to Mr: Midge, Salth.onse-lane ; the latter sent it for
shipment to the Wapping-Station where Mr. Criliss; the
- superintendent, identified it as the Company's property.
There were some legal defects in the evidence ; therefore
the prisoner, who has uP to this-time borne a very good
character, was cautioned and discharged.

MEDICAL li4ortna.TlON.HAn information was laid
against John Hamilton; 94, Milhstreet, Toxteth-park,
ter that had on the Ist of February wilfully and falsely
Pretended to be a;surge.en, general practitioner, or apo-
thecary; and did then and-there -take Or use the name.
"or title of a, siirgeOti, &c,,:or a name, title; addition,
rcr ,desCription, implying that he was registered under
the Medical Act, or recognised by law as a surgeon,
practitioner in medicine, or an apothecary, contrary to
the etatite, thereby-rendering himself liable to a penalty
of £2O. Mr. Tetnple' instructed by Messrs. Anderson
and Collins, appeared for the prosecutor, the Registrar,
and stated, the case ; • for the defendant, Mr. - Cobb'
appeared.-Mr. Steel, honorary secretary for the'Liver-
pool Medical Association, prodnced the register. in winch
the defendant's name could not be found.--Mr. Cobb
admitted that his client:was not registered •as a surgeon
in England, and asked 'Mr. Steel whether he had any
feeling:vindictive towards the defendarit.—Mr. Steel
replied that he had no vindictive feelings. He had
visited the defendant's.. premises on several occasions,
And had found his name printed above, and on brass
plate on the door, in large letters. Beneath the :name
on the plate -was the word. surgeon, and it very small
letters Boston, not registered in Englan.d." Mr.
Henry ;,Buckmaster, registrar . of' births and deaths,
proVed haVing received a. Certificate of the cause
of the death of a mau-ne.ined Beggs; signed by the
defendant. , It was Dot necessaay, he Said; that,
certificate of death should be signed. by a medical praC.--
,titioner ; personal information was sufficient when the
• informers,, Were, respectable ; cases *here the parties
.were
.not known or of a questionable charactor the
-certificate or the information was invariably forwarded
to the coroner. The certificate produced in court was
signed John, Hamilton, medical botanist, Boston, United
:States.—Mr. Cobb; for the defence, submitted that the
defendant had done.' all, he possibly could in order to
show that he was not a registered surgeon. He had
only said he was a medical practitioner of Boston,
United States, and he held an 'American diploma. Mr.
CObb•susilected that vindictive and malicious feeling was
entertained by Mr. Steel; for the defendant had on pre-
vious! occasions been brought up with no better testi-
mony of guilt than had been advanced in this case.—Mr.
Rates considered that the information failed, because
he hid stated on the door that he was not a registered
surgeon, and on the certificate that he was a botanic
surgeon. By consolidating both.cases, however, perhaps
a case might be made out against the defendant, who
was dismissed. ,
A SUSPICIOUS CtrAnAciEß.---A man named. John.
BrOWn was.charged with stealing a pair of trousers and
a cap. The trousers was stolen from a private house,.
-6; Temple-buildings, occupied by Mrs. Margaret. Bibby,
where the defendant lodged a night, and the cap, which
was taken from 'the prisoner, in thedock, was abstracted
from' the Talbot Hotel, Vernon-street. The prisoner, it
appears, although he was shabbily dressed, passed him-
self off as W. J. Hill, Esq., at a hotel in Islington,
where he got credit to a considerable amount, and ob-
tained bOots from Jackson, and a quantity of cinrs from
Davies, in Islington, which he forgot to pay for. Sent
for trial.

IHE DAILY TIMES, MONDAY, APRIL 9, 1860.

A new set of buildings are in process of erection in
the City of New York, to be called the " Irving Build-
ings." They will form (as from their name they should
form) quite a litertry _centre.. Several publishers and
conductors of useful and elegant literary and art enter-
prises have already secured quarters there. The occu-
pants are to furnish a Landsome bronze bust of Irving
to adorn the house.

"We knew Mrs. Jameson," said a scholar well fitted
to pass an opinion, and who stood almost unseen by her
coffin at Kensal-green. " Mrs. Jameson knew more
about art than, with deference be it said, my friend
Professor Waagen knows. With what feeling she
writes (for he would still speak of her as living) ;
how she, in words, enters into the very soul of a
picture; how she knows the very pedigree from first
to last of every celebrated work of art." We could not
but concur with our friend ; for we, too, knew Anna
Jameson when she was Anna Murphy, and, taught by an
intelligent father, went into the very secrets of art. We
are old enough.to remember how she acquired a love for
art and a true understanding of its worth. Mrs.
Jameson's Handbooks to the public and private galleries
of art in England are among the very best of our con-
tributions to the artistic literature of England. it is to
be hoped that her many manuscript notes on pictures will
fall into good hands, and that the world may be made
still wiser by what she knew."

UTICA, U.S.

There is little news in art," says the " Table Talker"
of the Illustrated Yews. Painters, following the cus-
tomary course of the London season, are busy with their
palettes and brushes. There has been a good sale of
English pictures at dhristie's ; and there is one cheering
look forward, that we are to have—thanks to the Society
of Arts—an exhibition of the works of the late Sir W.
Ross, a prince among miniature painters in his time,
and, we will add, in any time.
At the theatre at Tournai, in. Belgium, a comic in-
cident recently occurred in the performance of the
" Muette de Portici." Some soldiers of the garrison
were employed as supernumeraries, and, in the scene in
which they have to repress a revolt, one of them, seeing
the principal performer raise a dagger, became so
alarmed as to forget he was acting, and struck hiM
a sharp blow on the head with the butt-end of his
musket, but fortunately the blow was not dangerout.
The man's comrades jokiagly pretend that the soldier
considered the revolt .serious, and that he has claimed

to be promoted to the grade of corporal. for his energy
in repressing it.

Baron Bunsen's work on "Egypt's Place in Univer-
sal History," translated by Mr. C. H. Cottrell, M.A.
will be completed in two more volumes, the fourth and
fifth, of which the fourth is ready. With the third
English volume the history of Egypt, properly so called,
was brought to a close. To the concluding volumes are
assigned those portions of the general subject which
refer to the earliest pages of world history, and to the
pre-historic ages, before Egypt existed as an inhabited
country. In them the place of Egypt will be sought and
established by reference to the affinities of language, to
ancient cosmogonies and theogonies, and the subsequent
religious developments which grew out of them. The
publishers are the Messrs. Longman.
" Macmillan's Magazine" published a month or two

of the correspondence, to be entitled "Letters of Hannah
More to Zachary Macaulay, Esq., containing notices of
Lord Macaulay's youth. Now first published. Edited
and arranged by Arthur Roberts, M.A., rector of Wood-
rising, Norfolk." Mr. Roberts is already known in
general literature as the author of " Mendip Annals,"
the " Life, Letters, and Opinions of William Roberts,
Esq.," &c.

Thb Boston Post has rather a clever parody on the
poetry of Mr. Sydney Dobell, entitled- -".Row's my
Aunt ?" We quote a few of the stanza:— ' -
" Ho 1 condUetor of the train I
How's my aunt---my aunt!"
"What's your aunt's
.name, good sir
And the date of the train I want."

• " What's the • use of being conductor
If you don't know my our t ?
You might as well be a lobsterman
Baiting your traps at Nabant.
Every fool on'tha early train
Ought to have known my aunt."
The conductor explains that there was a smash, which
is detailed with Dobellian 'fidelity and in Dobellian
rhythm. Finally, the nephew of his aunt winds up
with the following
."
Every one in the train was crushed!. • .
Misted ! mangled ! niiished!"
"" How's my aunt--my aunt ?
What care 1 for the zest, conductor.?
Neither-are any of them her nieces.
Lead on,- conductor ! show me the pieces!
How's my aunt—my aunt?"
A WESTERN ART-CRITICISM.--A correspondent of the
Buffalo Courier narrates the following shrewd criticism,
passed by a rough Western man on the Prairie Picture
by Beard, the well-known artist of. Cincinnati : A
few mornings ago, as I was standing admiring--as I
confess myself quite fond of doing—that beautiful deer
group, a tall unmistakeably Western man came up
behind me and looked over my shoulder. I noticed at
once the quick stoppage of breathing ; but to my surprise
the stop was short, and something like a laugh quickly
succeeded. Looking up, I saw a yellow face overspread-
Jog with a smile, and there was a decided twinkle in the eye.
" Pshaw !" said he, " that's no pictur after all. That aint
no fair representation." "Why," said I, "that struck
me as being a pretty good painting." "Maybe it's good
enough for a painting," said the Western man, "I don't
say anythin' agin that! but there never was no scene
enacted like it. Jest look at that tall rice grass up
there, and then the fern weeds below—who ever saw
them grow together ? Why, the one grows' on wet and
the other on dry land. But that's pretty wet land,"
he continued, "and jest see them deer's feet—
how clean they be. They ought to be mud up
to their knees? and at the gait they're going at,
they'd be spotted with mud all over. I tell ye,
when I went to that country first, the men skeered
me sometimes, driving their waggons on to a wet prairie ;
but they'd tell me it was all right;_ and sure enough, I
would find a good bottom a foot down. Then the next
time I know'd they would be giving dpretty' wide berth
to a place that looked, at first sight, edzacktly like the.
other ; and I soon found an easy way to tell was by the
grasses. If any o' ye know that painter chap," said
the unconscious keen critic, as he prepared to move off,
"jest tell him but its no use." le said, lowering his
/ohms, , that's a goOd enough city prairie !"

On Saturday evening there was a grand performance
at Windsor Castle of Haydn's Passion music.

THE DANGER 'or A LOOK-OUT FROM A RAILWAY
CARRIAGE.—A frightful accident has occurred on the
Versailles lines to Paris. An outside passenger reaching
forward when the train was approaching a bridge, his
head coming in contact with the stone work was literally
severed from his body by the violence of the concussion.
The trunk was seen to follow the head as it was dashed
from the railway carriage.

FIRST EXECUTION OF A WHITE PERSOt.
IN MINNESOTA.

The Governor of Minnesota haring refused to com-
mute the sentence of death passed upon Mrs. Anna
Bilansky, and tire Legislature having failed to pass the
43i1l for her. pardon', she suffered the punishment for the
offence with whioh she is charged, s short time since, at
St. Paul.' This execution was the first death penalty
inflicted upon= a white person in the State or Territory of
Minnestiti.

Mrs. Bilansky Was convicted of the Murder. of her
husband, Stanislaus. Bilansky, by poison, but in con-
sequence of her seeming penitence since hex' trial, in con-
nection with the fact of her being a woman, a great number
of philanthropic people, the greater number of whom
were females, interested themselves in her behalf, and
strong efforts were made to induce the Governor and
Legislature to commute her sentence to imprisonment
for life ; but they failed in their endeavours. During
the present session of the Legislature of Minnesota a
bill was introduced to abolish public executions, but as
that measure was also defeated, Mrs. Bilansky was hung
in public. The St. Paul Tunes, of the 15th inst, thus
speaks of her :
Our reporter visited this unfortunate woman yester-
day, but the cell and hail near it were so crowded with
ladies, it was impossible to obtain an interview with her.
The turnkey informs us that on Tuesday nearly 300
ladies called on her, and noarly the same number yester-
day. Mrs. B. was yesterday baptised by a Roman Catholic
priest, and'embraced the faith of that church. She de-
votes her leisure time to religious matters, and seems
comforted and sustained by her new born religious belief.
She seems cheerful ana courageous, converses pleasantly,
yet is evidently affected by the dread doom which will
meet her on the appointed day. Her demeanour is much
changed from that an the trial. She appears penitent,
softened and subdued in spirit, and preparing gradually
for the future state soon to await her, though she still
seems hopeful that something may interpose to save her:
from the dread penalty.

A FREE LOVER ROM ON A RAIL IN

Utica, on Saturday night, witnessed an occurrence the

ike of Nthich has not been since the occasion of our

" order-loving people" mobbing the abolitionists some few
years ago, when the "peculiar institution" was looked
upon with greater lenity in this secCiod of dui country
than it is now., par% numbering (we are informed),
about five hundred persons, proceeded to the residence of
Mr. F. Skinner, on Cornelia-street, near Fayette, for the
purpose of punishing that individual for entertaining
and practising free love doctyines.. It appears Mr. Ski-
nner, wbo is a married man, with four children, became
convinced, a short time ago, that he had a "passional
attraction" for a Joung lady named Kate Beardsley, and
she at the same time was impressed with the belief that
Skinner washer affinity- There being, then, such a unity
of sentiment, the natural consequence was that they came
together and concluded to carry on .the partnership of
husband and -wife practically, but without the, sanction:
of either priest or squire. Mrs. Skinner was nothing
loth, for she had suddenly conceived a passion for one
Dr. Bentley, a clairvoyant physician, which he recipro:
cated ardently. They all lived together in one house,
having, also, as one of the happy family, an _itinerant
lecturer and a brother" in the faith, named Wheeler. We
suppose he was a sort of sleeping partner in the two
concerns. ,

As we said, the mob proceeded to Skinner's rcsidened,
and with tin horns, ,tin pans, and with a large instru-
ment known technically as a horse fiddle, played several
airs more audible than musical. 'As Mr. Skinner did not
appear to acknowledge the compliment of the serenade,
the crowd became angry and began to let little missiles
fly at the house. This accomplished what the music
couldn't. Skinner openeAthe door and presented himself
to the visiters. He spoke to them, and attempted to
justify-his free loveism, and said he expected to." die
martyr in the cause." His audience didn't coincide
exactly with him, though they were of the opinion and
determined that he should suffer something for it. They
accordingly procured a long rail and signified to Mr
Skinner that it would please them much if he should
bestride it.

As he did not move with alacrity, he was seized by
several persons, but Kate, his affinity, had followed him
to the door, and when he was being dragged away she
clung to him with all the tenacity of "undying love"—

she was determined that her dearie should not be wrested
from her close embrace. But strong men were too power-

col for hor, anal, as gently as possible, her hold was re-
leased, and she conducted into the house. Skinner was

then brought into the street, and the rail was passed
between his legs and elevated on to the shoulders of
several vety willing parties. The procession then com-
menced to move, taking its course down Fayette-street,
to the music of the multifarious instruments with which
the crowd was plentifully supplied, and amid the shouts
and laughter and jeers of the participants. Two or three
individuals immediately behind Mr. Skinner's vehicle
were encouraging him with stentorian voice to undergo
the ordeal heroically, by such exclamations as " he rides !"
"he shall ride !" " hold your oats!" " he hath not de-
parted," &c., &c. Notwithstanding this, by the time the
procession reached Genesee-street, it was evident that
Skinner's strength, from the jolting on a narrow and not
particularly soft rail, was giving out, and he could not
maintain his elevated position without assistance, so a
couple of humane persons steadied him on either side till
the City Hall. was reached, when the rail was lowered
and Skinner allowed to stand on terra tirma. Here the
police interfered, .and the mob yielded up their victim,
who was taken to the watch-house for protection. Mrs:
Skinner and Kate joined him shortly after, and the trio
passed several hours in a cell together. They were
released early the following morning.

When the crowd went to Skinner's they expected to
find also the man Wheeler and Dr. Bentley ; but these
worthies, fortunately for themselves, happened to be out
at the time.

The Times says that, according to present arrange-
ments, the Great Eastern is expected to be ready by the
beginning of lune, to accompany the 9nadron which

THE MiLtru.—There is no foundation whatever for
the statements copied from the military papers that the
remainder of the militia is to be called out into active
service. On the contrary, those battalions which are,
now out are ordered to be immediately sent to their
respective counties, where they are to be discharged
without delay. The quarters now occupied by the Militia
are required for the regiments coming home from India,
where it is_ found that a much greater force can be spared
than was supposed some time back. In fact, it is ei-
pected that 60,004 thousand European troops will be
found amply suffeient for India. It is satisfactory to
know that the battalions on home service andithe depots
of the regiment serving abroad are nearly:np to their
full strength complement, and that the regular army has
never been in a more efficientstate.—Obserrer.

NEW METHOD or CURING MELA:NCHOLT.-4A young
man: named Allary has been tried :by the Tribunal of
Correctional Police• for robbery. • A cook at the Café
Anglais stated that a.few days ago he saw the man, who
was not, connected-With the establishment, taking bottles
of champagne from a basket which had been placed
near the side -entratite in the Rue Marivaux ; and that
when he asked him what he WiS doing, he coolly
answered, " That is-no business of yours x lam obey-
ing the orders of the master!" The cook went away as
if believing him, but he told the waiters that the man
must be a thief, and-they hurried up to arrest him. The
man, on seeing them, took to flight, but was pursued
and Captured ; andle had in his possession half a bottle
of champagne 'and a chaufferette, but five other bottles
wrapped in his pocket handkerchief were found near the
basket. When called on for his defence, the man said :

gothEriscoixiti.--When a cathedral chapter received

the pastor elect simpers, blushes, and says that really he

,"Nolo gjggeopori," he urges in &raceful
deprecation. Nobody in ()emit of the chapter believes in
his reluetalee, and nobody now-a-days believes in the
harmless legend. Thus, too, when the Commons elect
a Speaker, a tradition with little more foundation
assumes that the right honourable gentleman approaches
the foot of the thine, hints in the most delicate
manner that he, the chosen of the Commons, ,is a
blockhead and an impostor, declares that he shall make
