LIVERPOOL POLICE COURT.-SATURDAY.

(Before Mr. RAFFLES.)
CAUTION TO CAB DRIVERS.
, William Proctor, alias Jones, a cart-owner and driver,
was charged by officer Lynch (142), who said—Yester-
day morning the prisoner was driving a horse and cart
in Chapel-street in a furious manner. He was drunk
and not able to manage the horse, and he was racing
abreast of. another cart, and the public were in much
danger. Mr. Raffies—What rate was he going at ?
Upwards of eight miles an hour, I should say. It is a
crowded street, and very dangerous to drive quickly in.
Mr, Raffies—l wonder you car-drivers have not been
cautioned sufficiently in consequence of the fatal acci-
dent that happened there the other day frOm furious
driving. The prisoner said—l was :not driving the
mare was standing at the pier-head all the day, and she
was cold, and when I turned homeward she began
to trot a bit : but she is not able to go more than four
miles an hour. I was quite sober. Bridewell-keeper
Hutchinson said—l took the charge, and the, man was
.qtriter drunk, and utterly incapable of driving: Mr.
Raffles--I have told car-drivers before, and I now tell
you again, that in every case where it is proved that you
are drunk, and driving so.as to endanger the lives of the-
public, I will inflict the full penalty. I trust this Warn-
ing will go out amongst yeti. I fine you 40s. and costs,
or two months' imprisonment. The prisoner was
committed for the present. • •

THE CHARGE OF BIGAMY.
George Nicholson, the porter, who was remanded on
a charge of bigamy, was brought up. Mr. Bluck, for
the prosecution, said, the second wife is rather curious
about this affair. It appears the prisoner goes and lives
with his first wife for a while, and then would live with
this young woman for another while. She had him
charged before, but withdrew it, and now she wishes to
withdraw the charge again. The young woman was
then called, andufter some hesitation, she said she would
not proceed in the case if the prisoner kept away from
her, and that she was allowed to have her furniture.
Mr. Raffles said the prisoner bad no right to any of her
property. The girl then withdrew the charge, and the
prisoner was liberated.
EMBEZZLEMENT.
Christopher Gallagher, a porter at the female peni-
tentiary, Falkner-street, was brought up on remand,
charged with having embezzled certain sums of money
belonging to the institution. Inspector Horn said since
•the last day the prisoner was before the court, it was
discovered that he had received seventy sums of money,
arrieunting to £2O 10s. The prisoner then said he
acknowledged having taken the money. Mr. Raffles :
'I - cannot deal summarily with this case, and as it is a
charge of embezzlement, I must have evidence. Mr.
:Horn then called the housekeepers belonging to Mr.
Bennett, to Mr. Williams, of St. James's-mount, and the
Compton House, who proved having paid the prisoner
sums of money, and the matron of the penitentiary
proved that she never got the money from the prisoner.
The prisoner again-said lie was guilty. He was sent for
trial.
(Before Messrs. Chilton and Lamport.)
AFFILIATION CASE.
Andrew Peacock, a wholesale biscuit and flour dealer,
in Great Oiford-street, was summoned by Sarah Lloyd,
an interesting looking female, who sought to affiliate a
child on him. Mr. Cobb appeared for the defendant:
The complainant stated that, in November, 1859, she
became acquainted with the defendant, and that he
brought her to his office, where an improper intimacy
took place, and the result was the birth of a child in
October of this. year. A girl was called partly to
corroborate the' evidence of the complainant, and ikir.
Cobh subjected both to a searching cross-examination,
but they persisted in their statement. Mr. Cobb pro-
duced the defendant, who swore that all stated was
false, so far as he was concerned. The case:was ad-
journed to next week for further evidence on the part of
the defendant.

THE COOK AND THE JEWELLER.—A letter from
.Liudau (Wurtemburg) says :—"The Duchess of Parma,
Who is at present residing at the chateau of Wartensee,
on the• Lake ,of. Constance, recently lost a diamond brace
let worth 6,000 f., during an excursion on board a
Wurtemburg steamer: It was foUnd' by a woman
employed as cook' on board the boat, and she sold; it to
a Jeweller at Lindan for 400 florins. The latter dis-
,mounte4 the diamonds and sold them at Munich. ' The
whole matter afterwardS came to light. The cook and
the jeweller were.severely reprimanded by the Wurtcm- ,
burg authorities." •
The eldest sou of the Earl .of Leven and Melville,
(who has recently succeeded his brother in those titles)
has adopted' as his designation his father's second title of
ViseOunt Kirkcaldy, instead of tbe customary appella-
ti6h of Viscount Balgonie, which was borne by the late
earl and by his son. • Precedents for this departure
from the ordinary course are to be found in the case of
the late Duke of Norfolk (who assumed for his second
title the style of Earl of Arundel aird:Surrey, instead of
the earldom of Surrey. alone, as borne by his father), ,
and in, other noble families. • - .
THE EMPRESS OF THE FRENCH IN A PRERVIHRIAN
PARISH Cnuntu.—A correspondent of the Gasgbee
Herald, 'writing from `NeWtyle Cottage, Nov. 25 says
in a letter -to a relative—l dare say, if you are net the
very first in Glasgow to know, you will not be the last,
that the Empress of the French worshipped God in the
New Protekitant 'Cathedral,' or Parish Church, Of the
ancient 04y,',,:f.--riunkeld to-day. There were two other
ladies and twogentlemen.' They were in the Duke's
seat; .everything was just the same as if no person of
importance was present. ' The Duke of Athole and• Miss
M.'Gregor were in their accustomed places, and the ser-
vants behind them as usual. Mr. Wilson preached
from Luke Rix. 9, from the words, "This day is
salvation 'come to this house ;" and in the prayer, after
our own. QUeen
blessingand Royal Family, he prayed for a
on that Royal Lady who is now sojourning_ in
our beloved country, and that God would be pleased to
Aess,her visit with -the object sought—that she would
soon be restored to her usual health, and that her.visit
might also tend to 'cement the friendship of the two
'great nations, &C.
but he took no notice of her tieing
present - in our
; .
assembly. So quietly was everything
donethat no one knew anything, about it until they. saw
her coming into the church, and, I am happy to say,
there was no staring. She came here.(Birnam Inn) on
i'iiti..,y, and went straight to Blair—the Duke with her.
