plaintiff ; Mr. Serjeent Parry for the defendant.
The plaintiff is the surviving partner in the firm of
Chimer, Beale, and Wood, music publishers, of Regent.
street, and the defendant is an advertising agent carrying on
business at Charing-aross. The plaintiff, who advertises to
the extent of 150/. per month, was applied to on the part
of the defendant for his advertising businese, and an ar-
rangement was come to whereby the defendant was not to
charge more than the sums paid to the Tines and /1/es.

accepting as sufficient remuneration the commission
allowed by the other papers. The plaintiff alleged be
bad been charged 3951. 17s. 6d. for advertising in

to that paper 3451. 12s. 6d., being an overcharge of 501.

disputed the terms of the agreement, upon which there was
a direct conflict of testimony. The defence was that no such

but that the defendant acted under an agreement made
with Mr. Beale during his life time, and before Mr. Wood
became a partner. He always charged • email commission of
10 per cent. when the newspapers do not allow a commission.

the afternoon of the 29th June last, between five sod six
o'clock, the defendants' three-horse minibus was racing with
another three-hors sod a two-bans omnibus in the
landmed. When just opposite the Duchess of Yorkpublic-
I house, the plaintiff was five or six feet from the kerbstone,
attempting to aces the rood. The driver of the two-horse'
minibus turned round and called to the driven of the two ,
thus-bores omnibuses, who wen coming abreast, to " mind
the child," but tbe result wee that the child was knocked
down, and his finger so seriously injured that it had to be
amputated.
The defense was that then was so racing—that, in fact,
it was utterly impossible there could be, there being no ,
other omnibus mar, and that the occident was unavoidable
from the child running from the path behind some carts into
the road, and in front of the horses, when he was knocked
down before the driver had time to pull up. Four yumm-
ier, were celled who deposed in support of the defendants'
oar ; use, however, adding that • two-horse omnibus was
about an eighth of • mile in advance, whilst on the other
hand as many persons in the street swore to the number of
modistes, and their racing.
The Lord Chief Justine maid it was a remarkable and &-
cue to find that human testimony was so little to be
dmgesdsd as. When they cams to oomider the extreme me-
flint of the evidence in the cue it appeared difficult to doubt
the parties were actuated by good faith. It was an import-
ant tact that the impression made on the minds of the pee-
semen at the time of the accident was favourable to the
driver, for they gave him their &damns is case any proosed-
ings should be taken against the company.
The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff, damages 251.
This is the third action that has been tried within • few
days in this court against the company, and in which da-
mages, in the whole amounting to 5251., have been awarded.

THE FRENCH SENATE.

PARIS. Dec. &

The reading of the draft of the address took
place to-day in the Senate. It is a paraphrase of
the Imperial speech, to which it replies. The
address 'piano of the devotion of France to the Im-
perial family, and says, relative to Mexico, that
" the primitive object of the expedition was not to
create an empire under the sceptre of a foreign
prince, but to defend our honour and our interests,
both of which were menaced." A hope is expressed
that the war indemnity to be paid by Mexico will
cover the advances made. The initiative taken by
the Emperor on the subject of the Congress is eulo-
gised. The address further says on this point, "Eng-
land, however, has decided that she would abstain
from taking part in the Congress. Her exceptional
position allows her, perhaps, to be leaseensible than
your Majesty of the dangers of the status quo, but
the other governments can only gain by establishing
a state of things which will no longer be menaced
nor misunderstood, whatever happens."
The address says, in conclusion :—" The country
will not disavow the words of your Majesty, ' I
speak in the name of France.'"

Neapolitan and Sicilian provinces.
The Minister of the Interior continued his speech
of yesterday. In reply to the question of a member
relative to the condition of Sicily, he stated that
the measures taken were necetwary to re-establish
public safety, and requested the Chamber to judge
the conduct of the Ministry frankly.
Signor Mordini considered that a parliamentary
inquiry would be useless, and protested against
military abuses. Signor Bertolami, a Sicilian
member, supported the Ministry, and commended
its energy.
The debate will be continued to-morrow.

GERMANY AND DENMARK.

manyiby esuspending fprovisionallylthenew consti-
tution uniting fichleawidto the kingdom—a consti-
tution which, moreover, dues not come actually

would disarm Germany of all excuse, without
abrogating any of his rights. The execution ought

force, as it is a strictly legal measure, and does
not prejudge any question. Meanwhile, according
to the Opinion Nationale, the King has just ordered
a strong squadron to be fitted out and to assemble
at Kiel. Two line-of-battle ships, two frigates,
and five steam corvettes, have already proceeded to
that pert, where they will wait for other vessels

which are speedily to join them., •AI ..rvißel
A letter from', Schleswig states that, the fortifica-
tions of Dannevirke are now almost completed.
The part which is intended to protect the position
against an attack from the south, is mounted with
200 guns.
It appears that on Sunday there were stormy
scenes iu some of the churches of Holstein. A
great number of the pastors limited themselves to
offering up the prescribed prayer for "the legiti-
mate sovereign," and so kept open a line of retreat
to either camp. Pastor Hanson, of Wansbeck, who
knew the temper of his people, prayed simply "for
the king," without adding the ;name; of Christian
IX. ; but, in spite oflthis precaution, a!great tu-
mult arose in thepougregation, and several noisily
left the church. an ichurch:at*Kiel, Pastor:Ludr•
man prayed for King Christian IX., "on condition
that he be recognised by the Germanic Diet !" The
declaration wss received by hisses and laughter.

Everybody left the church, and the minister con-
cluded his prayer in an empty,building.

LAMBETH..

Thomas William Sawyer, a perambulator maker, lately
occupying a small house in Swiss Cottage-passage, Short-
street, Newrogton, and close to the Elephant and Castle,
applied to Mr. Elliott for some assistance out of the poor-
box under the following distressing circumstances :—The
applicant, a deeent-looking man, and evidently labouring
under deep affliction, said that oo Thursday last he (appli-
cast) was engaged at the shop of a blacksmith in the neighs
bourhood in preparing the iron work for the perambulator.,
' and about two o'clock his wife left her home to come to tell
him his dinner was ready, having first cautioned the
children on no account to leave the house, as a fearful storm
was raging, but before they had reached home a stack of
chimneys fell from the house of Mrs. Peek, op-
posite, oo to the roof of their cottage, and car-
ried it and the first floor to the basement story, burying
all his children in the Taloa. Three of them, one en infant
of seven mouths old, were taken out alive, but a good deal
injured, but the fourth, his eldest girl, was found to be
quite dead- 'the whole of their furniture, and, indeed,
everything they possessed, was totally destroyed, sod they
were reduced to a state of the utmost possible distress, and,
under the distressing circumstances in which himself, his
wife, and three small children were unfortunately placed,
he was advised by some of his neighbour' to appeal to hie
worship for some temporary assistance from the poor-box.
Mr. Elliott replied that he should feel much pleasure in
complying with this request, but the fact was that the poor-
box was not only empty, but indebted to the chief clerk in
• sum of from 81. to 10k The case he (Mr. Elliott) believed
to be not only a distressing but • deserving one, and had no
doubt, if kindly noticed by the press, some benevolent per-
sons would be found to contribute to his (the applicants)
pressing necessities.
The applicant thanked his worship for his kindness and
left the court.

MR. JOHN LOCKE, M.P., AND HIS
CONSTITUENTS.

Last evening Mr. John Locke, one of the mem-
bers far Southwark, met the &actin* and inhabitants of the
borough at the Bridge-house Hotel, to render, according
to his annual custom, an explanation at his votes during the
past session, and to give his opinions on the current politi-
cal questions of the day. Mr. Jose ()COMM of Hermosa.
soy, occupied the chair, and introduced the boo. member
in a few appropriate remarks. Hr. J. Locke, on rising to
"dams the meeting, was greeted with loud cheering. He
reviewed at some length the work of the late seems, eon-
tandiag that it had not beep quit* so harms as was sup-
posed by some people, seeing that it had resulted in the
pealing of 125 private and 259 public bills, many of which
were of importance. Having touched upon some topic of
local interest, the hot. member said he thought the
present condition of the country was highly astir
factory, and he attributed the prosperity which prevailed
to the extension of free-Ueda principle', and the operations
of the French treaty. There was no doubt great difference
of opinion in this country upon the present struggle is
America, but in his opinion, whichever side was victorious,
slavery was doomed. (Cheers.) He entirely concurred in
the policy of non-intervention pursued by our government
on the American question, and he believed this policy was
generally approved by the country. There was then the
question of Poland, upon whose condition he felt meat
strongly, but he was not prepared to advisethiscountry to
go to war in favour of Poland, and thought they could not
do better than leave the question in the hoods of the go-
vernment. (Hear, and loud cries of "Oh.") He justified
the conduct of the British admiral is Japan, who could not
act otherwise than be did under the circumstances in

which he was placed. (Hear, and ' Oh.") In conclu-
sion, be would say that be was now, as he was when Jot
first stood before them for their suffrages. the steady advo-
cate of progress co all matters, ecclesiastical, political, sod
social; be was in favour of the total abolition of church
rates the ballot, sod a lug. exteosiou of the franchise.
