Lord PAL.IIERSTON'S brick domes, ears of stud*

away in hopeless patchwork.
The advocacy of the proposition to purchase
lumber that is worse than worthless, may possibly
include an appeal to Parliament in favour of the
[building contractors. Messrs. Kam and LUCAS
have been so unwisely mixed up with the Royal
Commissioners of 1862 as trading partners, that it
is difficult to separate their private interests from
the public part of the question. Attempts have
been made by partisans to show that they have
behaved with the most patriotic liberality, though
they have done nothing that has not been wise as
a commercial investment. They gave up a claim
to 15,0001. because an appeal to the guarantors
would have been very impolitic at the present
moment. They raised the Exhibition Building
with the understanding that they were to be paid
200,000/. as rent, and this sum they have
received from their partners—the Royal Com-
missioners. At a certain stage of the
enterprise they came in under a highly
speculative arrangement to receive all money taken
at the doors until they got another hundred thou-
sand pounds, and it is on this gambling margin
that their loss, if any, has occurred. They only
gathered 34,0001. of this latter sum during their
short tenure of the money tables, and then re-
turned the 15,0001. to their partners, the Royal
Commissioners, to make the general outside settle-
ment " pleasant " They have now received
74,0001. more than Messrs. Fox and lISNDERSON
received in 1851 for a far more successful building
of almost equal extent, and have still the chance
of being employed to patch their work with a
Government grant of nearly 300,0001. Look-
ing at their contract, and their way of executing
it, in all their bearings, we can see that they have
obtained all the fixed payment they bargained for,
and have only failed, at present, in getting part of
their speculative charges. They have given up
nothing but 15,0001., and in return they have got
certain prospects, and have avoided the indigna-
tion of a mob of guarantors.
To sum up, the House of Commons will be
asked to-night to consent to many objectionable
things which are involved in the proposed pur-
chase of the Exhibition Buildings. It will be
asked to do what it bas often refused to do—to
aid and abet the removal of the National Gallery
and half the British Museum to South Kensing-
ton. It will be asked to buy back with 120,0001.
of public money a piece of land which properly
belongs to the country. It will be asked to vote
80,000/. for the purchase of a certain mass of
building materials most inconveniently placed and
hideously put together ; and then, that this small
portion of bread may have the usual propor-
tion of sack, it will be asked to promise nearly
300,0001. for repairs, ornamentation (brick domes
and stucco), and reinstatements.
No wonder that the Government, acting, as
many have acted, under the mesmeric influence of
South Kensington interests, are a little uneasy
about the responsibility they have so unwisely
undertaken.

LETTER OF THE EMPEROR NAPOLEON
TO GENERAL FOREY.

PARIS, JUNI 15.

The Emperor has addressed a letter to General
Foray, testifying the strong satisfaction which the
taking of Puebla had given him. The Emperor
also expresses his appreciation of the perseverance
and courage of the army, "which," he says, "in a
distant expedition, fought against the climate and
an enemy so much more obstinate because deceived
respecting my intentions." His Majesty continues :

bitterly deplore the loss of so many
brave men, but 1 have the consolatory
thought that it has not been useless for
the interests and honour of France and
for civilisation. Our aim is not to impose on
the Mexicans a government against their will, nor
to make our success serve to the triumph of any
party whatever. I desire that Mexico may be born
to a new life, and that, shortly regenerated by •
government founded upon the national will, the
principles of order and progress, and respect for
international law, she may, by establishing friendly
relations with France, acknowledge that it is to
France that she owes her peace and prosperity. I
await the official reports to give to the army and its
chief their merited recompense. For the present,
general, receive my earnest and sincere congratu-
lations. (Signed) "N•roxiox."

GENERAL FOREY'S REPORT.
PARIS. Juan 15.

General Forey's report, dated May 18, has
arrived here. It agrees with the intelligence pub-
lished by the Cowrie,. des Etats Usti,. General
Forey states that on his refusing to permit the
retreat of the Mexican troops from Puebla, Ortega
decided on dissolving his army. He also caused all
arms to be broken, cannons to be spiked, and the
magazines to be blown up. General Ortega then
sent a flag of truce to General Foray announcing
that the garrison had terminated its defence and
placed itself at General Forey's discretion.
"Then," continues General Foray's report,
"12,000 men, the greater part without uniforms,
arms, or equipment, the whole of the two latter
having been broken and thrown into the streets,
constituted themselves prisoners. From 1,000 to
1,200 officers caused me to be informed that they
were assembled at the palace waiting my orders.
All the material of war remains in our possession.
It only appears to have been partly spoiled, and
even that portion incompletely."
The report says in conclusion :—" The army is at
, the height of its joy and will march in a few days
I upon Mexico."

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.

Chief Justice Cockburn and • Special Jury.)
RANRAT O. mmvurr.—IXTRAOBDIMAST OAS/ OF LIBEL.
This was an action for libel. The defendant pleaded not
guilty, and also • justification.
Mr. Kerslake, Q.C., and Mr. Watkins Williams were
counsel for the plaintiff ; Mr. Serjeant Shee, Mr. Howard,
and Mr. Barclay were counsel for the defendant.
This was an action for libel, contained in • challenge to
fight • duel, in which the defendant called the plaintiff a
poltroon, • coward, and rid his conduct was unbecorning.a
gentleman and • inn of hewer. The plaintiff is Captain
Ramsay, of Horne Park, near Newry, Ireland, formerly of
the 42nd Highlanders, and the defendant is a captain of
that regiment. He had married Mir Fraser, sister of
Captain Frazer, of the 42nd, and a niece by merriage
of General Cherry, of Packolet, also near Nlzypi
and the circumstances arose out of the defendant's •t
to forcibly take away his wife from General Chesney% resi-
dence, having left her husband and gone with him and his
(sanity to reside. General Chesney had occasion to go to
the Etat, and on his Mare his wife joined him in Lorca,
and the plaintiff had promised that during their reser he
would protect Mrs. Stewart from bee husband's eiders if
he came there. Hs came to forcibly take away
silts=
the circumstances of which are detailed in the
evidence.
Captain Ramsay deposed I reside at Morse Park,
near Newry, Ireland, and was formerly a retitle in the
army. I have bean on terms of intimacy with Major-Geoesel '
Chesney. In December, 1861, I was there at an evening
party, where I met Mrs. Stewart for the first time. After
I had boen introduoed to her, I found her name was Fraser,
and that she was the sister of au old fellow officer sad
(naiad of mine. I did not know then that she was living
apart from her husband. In May, 1862, Mrs. Chesney
called upon me at my house, and made a
communication to me relative to the position of Mrs.
Stewart towards her husband. Major-General Chesney was
then at Constantinople, and she asked me in the general's
absence to protect Mrs. Stewart should anything cocur, and I
to act for bun in his absence in any way I might be required.
I promised to do so end offered to have Mrs. Stewart at my
house if she thought it was better till the general returned,
Mrs. Chesney told me she was afraid Captain Stewart would
comedown to take his wife away by force from the general's
residence. The general returned from the East in June
of that year to London, and Mrs. Chesney left Ireland to
meet him. On Wednesday, 16th July, I received a manor
from Mrs. Chesney, through my servant, that Captain
Stewart was attempting to take his wife away by force, and
requesting me to go and protect them. I went there in
company with Mr. Pratt, the clergyman of the district. On
oar arrival I found the defendant and Mr. Mullins, an attar-
ney, in the drawing-room with Mrs. Stewart. She was
I very much excited, and asked for my 'protection. We
traduced ourselves ourselves to the deferent. He said that he was
Mrs. Stewart's husband, and that be had come to take her
away. I said I had nothing to do with his taking her
away, and that I bad only come in General Chesney's
absence to protect Mrs. Stewart from violence,
as I had promised him. He replied that he
would take her away, and that he was pre-
pared to take any persons life who should interfere with
him in doing so. It was then proposed to send for • ma-
gistrate, and Mr. Pratt wrote to Mr. Moore, brother-in-law
of General Cheney, and also to Mr. Goatee, another ma-
so that Mrs. Stewart might make • declaration
eft:P.rel'4' them. The in. risks came, when Mrs.
Stewart wanted to make •declaration that she was afraid
of her husband, but they said they could not
iaterfere between men and wife, and declined to do
so. Mr. Coates left. I tried everything in my power to
iodnce the defendant to leave his wife quiet there till the '
general's return, or his orders were received as to what Mrs.
Stewart was to do. After the magistrate had left, and be-
fore the expostulation, lie attempted to take his wife oat
of the room by force. He lifted her off her feet in his
arms. She resisted, and he then let her go. She was to
remain in the house, and the defendant to go to the
hotel not far off, and 1 promised not to mast
Mrs. Stewart in any way to leave the place
until the general could be commuicated with. He refused,
laying he would not have his wife out of his eight, and it
was then arranged he should remain cc promarsg not to
annoy or interfere with his wife in any way, and an amant.
anent was made for me and Mr. Pratt to return the next
day. I left him there, and parted with him good friends.
On the following morning we saw them again, and
the defendant asked Mr. Pratt if he had written
to General Cheery as he promised. Mr. Pratt
said he had not, as it was too late the previous day,
but that he would do so immediately. The defendant de-
sired him to do so without delay, and be asked his wife if
she would like to see me alone. She replied, " Yes ;" and the
defendant left the room as wallas Mr. Pratt and Mr. Mul-
lins. Mrs. Stewart asked me if 1 would still protect her, and
asked me what she was to do. I said I would give her all
the protection I could from violence. She expressed fear of
being carried away by her husband if no one was there to pro.
tact her. I said there was no fear of that, as there were
people in the house to protect Ler if he used violence. I
told her it was • good opportunity to make matters up with
her husband if necessary. She replied, " Never—l cannot."
The parties again returned to the room, and I left
and went home, parting very good friends with the
defendant. I returned again on Sunday, three days
after, in consequence of • telegram received by Messrs.
Brown and Co., solicitors, from General Chesney, in answer
to the letter that had been written to him. The telegram
was to turn out the defendant, if neoessery, by force, and
protect Mrs. Stewart, who it stated was not bound to leave
with her husband. I went over in the afternoon with
Mr. Brown, and saw Mrs. Stewart coming out of the
drawing-room, but I was not neer enough to
speak to her. I afterwards saw the defendant and
introduced Mr. Brown to him as General Chesney's
solicitor. Mr. Brown told him what his orders were
from General Chesuey. I only spoke to him once at that
interview. The defendant said he would leave but he
would take his wife with him. He then opened the
drawing-room door and called his wife. She
did not answer, and he asked the servant.
where she was. They did not know, and the defendant said
to me he did not expect such conduct from me. My answer
was that I had nothing to do with it. I did not know at
that time that she had actually gone to my residence, but
I suspected as much, as it had been before surged on Mr.
Brown suggestion that Dr. Anderson, the physician of the
district, should's° to General Chesney's, and take Mrs.
Stewart to my house for safety. On my return
home I found her there. She thanked me for
what I had done, and continued to remain at my house till
General Clusoey's return, a fortnight or three weeks
after. On the Monday following I received the first letter
read, and also the printed circular, many of which I have
seen. Those produced are addressed in the defendant's
handwriting. I instructed my solicitors to communicate
with the defendant. I have had no further communication

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Goo!burn.)
IN II MILT ISTELZI TIMM.
The bankrupt, late • lodging-house keeper, applied for
her release from costody.
Mr. R. Griffiths appeared for the detaining creditor,
and did not object to the bankrupt being released, on
her undertaking to enter a stet proceasus in an action for
malicious arrest which she had brought against the detain-
ing creditor. The ease had been thrice before the Court of
Exchequer, and three learned barons had refused to grant
her release.
His Honour at first doubted whether he bad power to
interfere, but finding that the bankrupt was only in custody
on • camas, said he should order the release.
Mr. Griffiths objected, on the ground that the matter was
still subjudioe in the Court of Exchequer.
His Honour said it appeared that was only a question as
to • change of attorneys. The bankrupt was entitled to
her discharge as • matter of right under the 112th section.
It transpired that the bankrupt had already passed her ex-
amination and obtained her order under the bankruptcy.

This was another application for release.
Mr. Bagley opposed for Dr. Mackenzie, who complained
that the bankrupt had vexatiously brought an adios spiost
bins, and thereby caused him to incur great expense. The
bankrupt was connected with a " Governesses' Benevolent
Asaociation," and had also represented himself sea " medical
agent"--who negotiated partnerships for medial men. His
debts were 4001., amongst them was one to Mr. Harvey,
who bad sued him for obtaining money by false pretence'.
He had represented that Mrs. Harvey would derive a large
income from becoming the matron of the Governesses'
Institution, and had by that means obtained 80/. front Mr.
Harvey.
His Honour refused to grant the Telma, and saki the
matter might stand over until the choice of assignees.
Its RE MARTIN MINN,

The bankrupt was a baby-linen warehouseman and lace
nu, of 259. Regent-street. This was the sitting for exa-
mination and discharge. Against debts of 2,980/. there are
meets of 9001.
Mr. Phelps, on behalf of the assignees, asked for au ad-
journment. It appeared that the bankrupt was beneficially
, interested in the lease of the premises in Regent-street, sod
' had made over some furniture to a eon-in-law shortly before
his bankruptcy. The assignees desired fuller information
on those points, also with respect to the sale of hi, bushier
• few days before the bankruptcy.
His Honour said it was very likely packing op for the
purpose of the bankruptcy. But it was doubtful whether,
even if the furniture were recovered, it would cover the
exposer of an adjournment.
It was here stated by Mr. Brougb, on the part of the
bankrupt, that there were assets of 8001.
Mr. Graham, the official assignee, said that only 1.

each for the sole of his bosinesa, which were spread over •
long period. Hitherto they had been paid as they fell
due, and if they were all paid the assets might amount to

After a short examination of the bankrupt, who admitted
that he had been twioe bankrupt before.
His Honour said that his explanations were very ua-
satisfactory. He war not new to bankruptcy and evidently
knew how• to baffle the inquiries of his assignees. There
must be an adjournment for further inquiry.
(Before Mr. Registrar Roche.)
IN RE C. C. DROWNING.
The bankrupt, the holder of a patent office in one of the
courts of law, bad been is prison upwards of thirty years,
and recently obtained his release. This was • dividead vit.
ring. The bankrupt had not yet filed his balance-sheet,
but the debts are stated at between 5.000/. and 10,000/,
amongst which is one of 900 f. odd due to the executor and
executrix of the late Fail St. Vincent.
Mr. Levy now tendered a proof on some bills of exchautr•
upwards of thirty years old. The bills were not forth-
coming, but the creditor produced his bill-book contaung
entries of the same.
The objection of Mr. Lawrence, on the part of the wit

of limitations.
The matter eventually stood over. The assets in band

(THIS 1141'.)

An extraordinary general meeting of the pro-
prietors was held at noon, at the bank premises, 112,
Mishopegate-etniet, Mr. LA °RIZ in the chair, to submit for
continuation or otherwise the following resolution, pawed at
the annual general meeting on the 14th rillaylart :—" That
it appearing that of the 30,01)0 201. shares created io 1862
426 shares, originally allotted to trustees and other., had
reverted to the hank, the directors be requested to re_
allot such 426 shares among the members of the board
subject only to the payment of the calls thereon ; and con-
lrminsgg such resolution or otherwise as such extraordinary
geaenl martin may determine."
The CHAIRMAN said the directors were very much obliged
for the appreciation of their services which bad dictated the
resolution; bat they must decline to accept the shame in
question except on the same terms as shares had been
allotted to other proprietors. via, a premium of 41. each.
(Cheers)
Mr. RILEY moved a resolution in accordance with the
foregoing'declaration, sad Kr. HARMON seconded it.
Mr. Kw° protested sgaiost any such advantage being
given to the board, the twelve directors being paid nearly
6,0004 a year for their services.
After some discussion, the resolution for allotting the
shares to the directors at 41. premium was pat to the
Meeting, when the numbers were 11 in favour of and 7
against it.

—The CHAIIIMAB, in acknowledging the gift, mid he who
informed by the accountant that the value of the original
shares bad risen 400 per cent., and now that the resolution
was mum& he must say he thought thst, tinder the circom•
stances, something of that kind was really dos to the
board. When vacturries occurred in the direction there
was great difficulty in filling them with suitable
persons who could give the requiiihs amount of
time ; what was wasted being not showy name on the
list of the board, but directors who would daily sirs their
time and attention to the affairs of the company. (Chases.)
