Yesterday morning his Royal Highness Prince
Humbert, socompenied by his Excellency the Marquis
d'Azeglio (the Italian minister), and attended by General
Revel aid a unman= suite, left the Italian Legation in
Grosvenor-street to visit St. Paul's Cathedrel. The Mistrials
prince and party were engaged nearly sn hour in the 'mar
tion of that noble metropolitan structure. Thence the primes
and party went to the Bank of England. There they were
received by several of the directon of that great national
establishment, by whom his royal highness and retinue
were conducted over the several departments. On leaving
the Bank of England the prince and friends were driven
to the Tower of Loudon, where they were received on their
arrival by 'guard of honour of her Majesty's Foot Guardkend
were afterward' conducted over the ancient fortress by the
principal warden. The prince and his attendants then
made a visit to the brewery of Messrs. Barclay sad Perkins,
at Southwark. The extensive promisee of that wealthy
firm seemed to excite the surprise of the prince. As usual
on the visits of royalty, a glass of our popular beverage was
proffered to the prince, which he tasted. His royal high-
ness, on leaving, was pleased to express his thanks for the
attention shown him, and desired to say he was highly
gratified with his visit to the famed brewery—as he was
informed, the oldest in the metropolis.

THE POLICE COURTS.

MANSION•HOUSE

Arthur Law, a respectably dressed young man wasbrought
up oa remand in the custody of Detective sergeant Pannell,
before the Lord Mayor, charged with forging and uttering
several theme foe aunts, varying from 104 to 17E, with
intent to defraud Messrs. Masterman and Co., the bankers.

Mr. Mullins, the solicitor to the Banker's Protection
Association, prosecuted ; and Mr. Beard, appeared for the
prisoner.
The prisoner, it appeared, was formerly in the third City
of London Rifle Corps, and wan employed at the office at the
head-quarten as orderly clerk, and it was his duty to keep
the accounts and prepare the cheques for the payment of the
incidental expenses, which were signed by the major and
oounterrigoed by one of the committee. The pri-
soner was, however, dismiesed in March last.
Early in Amami an order for the delivery of a cheque book.
purporting to be signed by Major Richards, was presented
at the Agra and liastermaa's Bank, and the cashier, holier.
ing the order to be genuine, delivered a cheque book to the
bearer of the order. The pas book, it appeared, was ob-
tained from the bank by the clerk who smoseded the pri-
soner, on the first of each month, sad upon the book being
delivered over in September &incept the cheques that bad
been paid during the month of August there were five which
were forgeries, vie.:—One dated the Bth August for 121. ;
10th August. 101. ; 17th August, 101. ; 24th August, 101.
and the 30th August, 141. • making an aggregate of
56/. The prisoner, however, was not identified as
having presented either of the cheques or the
order for the cheque book ; but several whammed,
including Major Richards, stated that the writing
in the order nod in the cheques was exceedingly like the
prisoner's. One tritium swore partitively that the sweaters
to one of the cheques purporting to be that of Majorßichards, he wasßichards, sure was written by the prisoner, adding
that ha bad frequently seen him write the major's name on
pieces of and at time; rseembled the genuine signa-
ture so perfectlpaper, y that he (witness) could scarcely tell the
difference. This witness said the whole of the writing on
the order and the body of the cheques he believed was the
prisoner's writing, although it wm somewhat different to
his ordinary style of writing ;in fact, he said the •
wrote so many different hands that it wu vary • cult to
tell.
Mr. Beard oroweramised the witness with a view to show
the cheque@ and order might have bees missed by some one
else connected with the corps, but elicited nothing to form
such a line of defence.
The prisoner, who was cautioned, said he knew nothing
whatever of the charge, was committed for trial.

THE PREECE ROYAL.

The next iubject brought before the court was the birth
SI the r0y..1 prinoe.
It will Lc remembered that at • former court a communi-
cation front Sir G. Grey was reed moonlit* that the
Princeas of %Vales had been safely delivered of a prince, and
that when a motion was made by Alderman Cope-
land, M.P., that the communication of the Secretary of
State should be entered upon the minuted, several members
of the wart urged that the Court of Aldermen should
exercise their ancient privilege of presenting an address to
the Queen ~pon the ocreaiors. This could nos then be dose
under the standing orders of the court., but the Lord Meyer
eonvened a special meeting of the Court of Aldermen far
the purpose of taking the subject into further coosideratioa.
When ti.v ley arrived, however, Were were not sufficient
aldermen present to form a court, and the subject conse-
quently ilrom ed.
Aldermen COPELAND now, after having made • brief
allusion the circumstances above mentioned, said that
kering considered the matter since the last meeting of
the court, lie thought the best course to be taken was to
move that. on the present occasion it was not expedient that
the Court of Aldermen should present a separate •ddraa
to the throne. (Hear, hear.) It would, of course, be un-
derstood MIL the court by this proceeding did not in the
slightest degree give up any of their ancient rights and
privilegei, one of which undoubtedly was that the Court
of Aldern.en were entitled if they thought tit to present
machine's of congratulation to the crown upon such as
auspicious occasion, independently of the one agreed to by
the other branch of the corporation. (Neer, hew.)
Aldermen Rose. M.P., seconded the motion, which was
put and untried unanimously.

The object of the society wu to provide a children s club

verdict, sod enter a verdict for the defendant on such issues
ea the court might think right, or to enter a Donlon.

who wee the first treasurer of the society, received in that
capacity a sum of 80/., and being unable to refund, he, is
conjunction withothers,gave a promissory note for the amount
to the society as security. Upon the death of Whitaker, it
was proposed, in September, 1844., that his son William
should be appointed in his place, but no formal proceeding
for that purpose was taken until the following November.
Os the sth of that mouth a meeting was held, at which as
alteration took place respecting the proposed appointment,
it being objected that William Whitaker was not a member
of the sect of Primitive Methodists, and therefore was in-
eligible for the office. In consequence of this difference a
very barge majority of the member seceded, taking with
them all the books, papers, and the promissory Dote,
leaving only the committee of five and about forty-five
1 members faithful to the old society. The persons thus m-
anaging in June, 1861, registered the society under the
Friendly Societies Act as the "Primitive Methodists' Sun.
day-school Society," and ultimately brought this adios to
recover the amount of the promissory note. The learned
gentleman now contended that the persons who remained
were really the governing members of the old society, and
were in that character entitled to the amount due upon the
note. The residuary body continued to adhere to the origi-
nal rules of the society, whereas the act of the majority ia
tiondiag was a violence of those roles, and those remain-
however, small in number, must be treated maths en.
istiag society.

0; the Cher side Mr. Temple, Q.C., and Mi. Kaye sub-
witted that the (Mom and parsons remising did not »-
present the old society as it was ocewiituted when the mote
wen even by the elder Whitaker.

sesta that the declaration should be anmadsd, end gave the
f=ttline to onsider whether they would amend before
was delivered.

THE SHOCKING MURDER AT LEICESTER.

The inquest on the body of the youth named
William Upton, whose remains were toned in the canal on
Wednesday, the:l6th ult., bearing unmistakeable proofs of
foul play, was resumed for the third time at Leicester, oe
Thursday, and terminated in a verdict of " Wilful murder "
against the deceased boy's father, who has been in custody
on suspicion of committing the crime. On being escorted
through the vast crowd, from the gaol opposite, the pri-
soner was received with tremendous yells. The deceased
who was subjected to harsh treatment by the prisoner
about the middle of January, obtained employment at the
shop of Yr. Edwards, druggist. Soddenly he absented him-
self from the shop, leaving behind him his coat and cap, and
nothing more was seen of him until Wednesday the 16th of
February, when his body was found floating in the canal,
there being several severe cuts and state oo the heed, abdo-
men, and hip ; and, aocordiag to surgical testimony, they
bore raves of having been dam before the body waa put into
the water. A police-officer went to the lodgings recently
occupied by the prieooer, and there found a b 4 the tick
of which, according to medical testimony, appeared to have
been recently washed in hot water, without removing an
immense number of stains which, on examination, are said
to be blood. A witness, named Mrs. Cave, stated that
about midnight, on the sight following that as which the
lad was missing (the 27th of January), she was coming
from the pasture bridge, which spans the canal dose to
where the body was found, when she met a man whom
she identified as the prisoner, carrying what appeared to
be • heavy load, enveloped to a patchwork bed covering,
which he took into the pasture. The night was moonlight,
and she was quite certain as to the ideality. After she had
pared the prnioner, she saw a woman, with a hood 00,
standing under the dark shade of the wall, shout 50 yards
from the bridge. The prisoner made a statement, delaying
that he was out on the night in question, and said he and
his wife were in bed by half-put 10 o'clock. lie further
stated that the blood stains on the bedtick were caused by
his first wife, who died upon it, of bronchitis. at Hyson-
green, Nottiagham, on the 22nd of June, 1661. It was
wsand on the '7th of the same month, at the home of •
cousin-. brother-in-law. The prisoner was committed on
the coroner's warrant.
