old and a few selling races being all there is to diversify
the sport, which will not, consequently, be particularly in-
teresting. The Worositershire Stakes, one mile and three
farloogs,Lord Coventry has accepted for with two, Umpire
and Kinsman, and did the former run " kind " be would
be es useful an ally as was Exchequer last year ; but he is
always uncertain, and there are no grounds for believing
Kinsman can beat a good three-year-old like Fluke at
nearly even weights, the latter standing a first-rate chance
of carrying away the prize. Next to her, I incline towards
Turn of Luck, who gives but 161 b for the year; and War-
minster may beat all the heavy weights with his 7st 111 b,
seeing his party thought him good enough to back against
Belly Edmond at Bath, when there was only Sh between
them. In the Croon. Stakes, six furloor,.Airedale is as
leniently weighted as Fluke M in the principal event, my
only doubt being whether she can give Blb to Almack,
who won his wily race in public this season, over the
same distance, with the most ridiculous ease.

IS WATIMLOO Asamtaios COMPANY.
This WA an adjourned summons, on which the question
was whether Mr. Seeßein or Mr. Woolmer should be placed
on the list of contributories. It appeared that on the Bth !
August, 1862, a resolution was pared by the company for ;
the sale of its business and distribution of its &meta. Both
of the above-named penile were shareholders of the com-
pany at that date. Subsequently Mr. Soielleux sold his
abuse on the Stock Exchange to Mr. Woolmer, through his
broker, and executed the usual trsnsfers, which, together
with the certificates of shares, were deposited in the ordi-
nary course. The company was ordered to be wound up in
December, 1862.
Mr. Roxburgh now contended, on behalf of Mr. Soiel-
leen, that by the transfer and deposit of the shares the pro-
perty in them had panted to Mr. Woolmer, and that there-
fore the latter ought to be placed, in respect of the sold
shares, on the contributories' list. For this " Morris v.
Calmat" was cited (10 W. It).
Mr. Selwyn, Q. 0., and Mr. Swanston appeared for the
official liquidator. but were not called on.
The Master of the Rolls held that DO valid transfer could
be made after the resolution of finest, and that therefore
Mr. Soieneux's name must be p4ced en the list.

Of course the prisoner sad his companion cleaned out the

Wquthe same tale. I must remand the prisoner, u usual, for

PORTSMOUTH, Jun 2&
To-day being the anniversary of her Majesty's
coronation, the ships ie harbour droned in parti-coloured
bunting, and at one o'clock fired a royal salute, sa did also
the saluting battery of the garrison. Tomorrow will be
observed as a panel holiday, and the government esta-
blishments will be eland.
Rear-Admiral George Elliot, superintendent of the dock-
yard, struck his flag on Friday evening and went on leave,
owing to the death of his father, Admiral Sir George
Elliot, K.C.B.
The Industry, 2, iron screw store-ship, Master-Coin-
mender Yawl, arrived at Spithead yesterday morning from
the West Coast of A/ries, and sailed today for Woolwich.
The Constrick, hired sailing trassport, arrived at Spit- '
head during the night of Friday trout Calcutta, with mill,
tary invalids belonging to various remnants. They wan I
discharged to Kelley Hospital yesterday.
The Charger, screw gunboat, has gone retied to the
Thames to be constructed on a new principle by Mr. Curtis, 1,
• gentleman connected with LiverpooL The blades of the
screw are fitted to • bras like a sphere with one side eat
off, and the boss is fitted to the shaft with as oscillating or
" universal" joint. The rudder part of the vessel is die-
penned with, and the centre of the screw is /tied
in • line with the centre of the redder head,
the outer aids of the boas being connected with the rudder
by means of • pin, and the inner edge of the rudder is
curved to allow free action to the screw, which is brought
further aft than on the old principle. The head of the'
rudder runs through the deck of the vessel as on the
present plan, the lower end being fastened by a
piutle to the keel of the venal, which projects
sa far as the wear. By an ingenious ocatriv-
nos, when the tiller is moved, the screw and rudder
move together, as that, in point of fact, the screw becomes
mainly the turning as well as the propelling power. The
Charger now lies in the West India dock, and the new screw
will be fitted in a private yard at the expense of the in-
ventor.
The Channel fleet, under the command of Rear-Admiral
Sidney Colpoys Damn, will, it is reported, wive at Spit-
heed tomorrow from Portland.

Prisoner—Tnank you, sir.

BAIL COURT. —Jul+ x 27.
Sittings in Banco.—(Before Justices Wightman, Crompton,
and Blackburn.)
SCOTT V. LOWNDAS.
This was the " cursing and swearing case," and the qua.
tine was whether, under the 19th Deo. IL, cap. 21, any
number of oaths uttered in one day might be included in
one conviction, or whether a separate conviction and fine
could be inflicted for each oath. The act was passed for
the purpose of preventing " profane cursing and swearing,"
and established a tariff of penalties ; the offence being made
more heinous in the case of a gentleman than a labourer—the
former being subject to a penalty of ss. for each
oath, and the latter, as well as sailors sued soldiers, to a
penalty of Is. per oath. There was an intermediate clam,
persons below the degree of gentlemen, who were to forfeit
2s. for every oath. Scott belonged to the latter clams, and
be was oonvicted and fined 405., being at the rate of 2s. each
for 20 oaths. A role was obtaioed some time since for the
of quashing the conviction, on the ground that
Luarres ought to have been a separate conviction for each oath
instead of one conviction embracing the 20 oaths.
Mr. D. 1). Keane supported the conviction ; Mr. Ball
appeared against it.
After hearieg the arguments of the learned counsel, the
court held that the conviction was right.

COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE.
J wiz 27.
(Wore the Judge Ordinary.)

wooLwiCH, Jost 28.

•
An 18-pounder breech-loading bronze rifled gun,
the invention of Mr. Broadwell, had just been subjected to
• eerie' of proofs at the Royal Arsenal, chiefly with • view
to test it, peculiar pa-proof principle. The emu of pa,
and the fouling of breech-loading machinery by gee deposit,
has hitherto been • serious drawback to the use of these
weapons for military purposes. The pa-proof principle of
Mr. Broadwelrn invention consist, of • peculiarly shaped
ring immanently located and self-acting, which is plead in
the breeds block, and acts against a bearing in the gun
concentric with the bore. The mechanical arrangement by
means of which the breech of the gun is opened arid
closed is very simple and efficient, and the projectile
used is so constructed that it cleans the bore of
the gun after each round without the sponging proms.
The experimental gun was fired in rapid succession in the
presence of numerous officers and scientific gentlemen, and'.
during the whole trial the breech-loading apparatus con-
tinned to perform its funationa in a most efficient manner.
Oa taking out the breech block at the termination of the
trial there was abundant evidence that no escape of gee
bad taken place, which was proved by the fact that the
oil on the face of the breech block immediately surrounding
the gee ring had not been displaced. Mr. Broedwell has
also invented • breech-lording cavalry carbine, to which a
similar principle has been applied.

BUNBOII V. WOLFZEBTAN.
Dr. Deane,fivrabey, fox the plaintiff ; Mr.
M. Smith, Q. 0., and Dr. %Ants, for the defendants.
This was a suit to revoke a probate. The testator. the
Rev. Robert Nicholas French, the rector of three parishes
in Derbyshire and Warwickshire, of the value of 7741. per
annum, died io December last, at the age of 88. In the year
1820 he was found a lunatic by inquisition, and was placed
in an asylum; where he remained for 19 years. At the ex.
piration of that time he was discharged cured, or slimed so •
and his perfect mental health was attained long before his
death ; but be never caused the finding of the jury to be set
aside, because if he had dose so be would have been sent
back to one of his perished., and after so long an absence he
was unwilling to resume his clerical duties. He had in all
four committees of his person ; the last but one being
a Mr. Walker. At that gentleman's death the
demand continued to reside with his widow ; but
the defendant, his executor, a barrister and the
son of an old friend, was appointed committee.
In 1854 the teateitor executed a will, instructions for which,
accompanied by a long statement of his reasons for taking
that mune, were furnished to the solicitor by himself.
These reasons were briefly as follows. In 1819 his eider,
Mrs. &mom, the mother of the plaintiff, bad quarrelled
with her brother-in-law, Dr. needier, on whom she was
greatly dependent; and the testator having then a property
of only 1,0001., made a will bequeathing the whole of it to
her, for he feared that in the event of his demises she
might be brought to great distress. Dr. Forester bad
since died, and though the rupture had never been healed,
he left her 8,0001. or 9,0001. Mrs. hansom had also linos
died. Under these circumstances the teetator, whose pro-
pmty had increased to about 8,0001., thought himself justi-
fied in leaving 1,0001. to his "young friend and playfellow,"
Robert Walker, the son of his late committee ; 1001. each to
Robert Walker's eight brothers and sisters ; 1001. to Mm.
Welker, and 2001. to his executor ; the residue being dig.
tribated amongst the children of Ma. Seneom's children.
This disposition, which was contained in the will and two
=tient codicils, was resisted by Colonel &mom, on the
of nudge influence and want of capacity ; bet at the
close of the respondent's evidence the opposition was
abandoned.
The jury having found for the defendants,
Sir C. Cromwell confirmed the probate, which had been
already granted in ordinary form.

OOTXON 000 De. —Mistatirris, Jung 27.—We have
bad an exceedingly quiet and =cu.@ market for yarn and
cloth throughout the week. There has been nothing doing
for India, except in 40's mule twist. In clothe what busi-
ness has been effected is chiefly in friaries suited to the home
trade and the smaller foreign markets. The aggregate of
these transaction, which have been almost o a retail
character, is understood to have been small. Spinners are
generally pretty well under order, and being without stocks
they show much steadiness to respect to prices. Still there
are some holders who show more or less anxiety to sell, and
in such cues the tendency of the market has been to a
decline. In India shirting' there is not much change in
quotations, but there is little doubt if buyers were disposed
to operate, purchases might be effected at rid. to 9d. per
piece decline on the late highest rates in this market. The
Persia's advises from America have caused a good deal of
excitement in commercial circles this morning, but there is
no change in business or prices. The excitement has been
of a kind rather to impede business than to increase it.
The absurd story is revived about manufacturers being
opposed to emigration, but the fact is that millowuers are
like most other tradsomes, and if the operatives could be
removed, so that fewer mills could be got to work, compe-
tition would be less, and many manufacturers would be but
too glad of it.

THE POLICE COURT&
ounxtßAl4,_

Mr. Winder, proprietor of the Bell Tavern and Luncheon
Bar, Basinghall-street, and Mr. Gurney, proprietor of the
European Tavern, facing the Mansion-house, were charged
with using in busineam gasses not containing imperial mea-
sure. Thu was a new point, deeply affecting the publio as
well as licensed victuallers, aiming as it does at the rappres-
lion of the practice of drawing malt liquor in glasses much
smaller than the legal measure so universally adopted in
London, to the benefit of the vendor and injury to the con-
sumer. In the case of the defendant Winter, Mr. Johnson,
an inspector of weights and measures, said—On the
72nd June he was in defendant's hones, and heard a
man ask for • pint of porter, which was served in one
of the glares produced, and otter the man had
drank the beer, he (witness) as the glass, and
found it three quarters of an ounce short of the imperial
pint. Three other glasses were half an ounce deficient;
three, three quarters of an ounce ' • one, one and a quarter
ounce; and one, one ounce and three quarters short. He
seized six of the glasses Produced.
The defence set up was that the defendant's bar was
divided into two compartments, and in one used fo,
luncheon purposes only glass was used, and if any
one required malt liquor in imperial measure he
was referred to the other counter. It was understood by
the public that the glasses did not contain imperial
meson, but they were preferred as drinking vessels on
the score of cleanliness. They were not intended as measures.
The clerk said that by • decision of Mr. Justice Hill in an
appeal oar, Reg. r. Au too, it was laid down that • vessel of
glees or farther ware, though not marked, if ordinarily rued
by a vendor of beer as • measure containing the same
quantity as imperial measure, and if foiled to be unjust, is
liable to be seized under the 28th section of the act, and the
vendor himself liable to a penalty.
Aldermen Meohi and Lawrence agreed that • renviction
must follow, as it ins clear in these cases the deficiency
was always against the customer, in some instances amount-
ing to three and three-quarters, six and a quarter, and
eight and three-quarters per cent. They inflicted the miti-
gated penalty of lOs. and costa
Mr. Gurney's case was very nearly similar to the pre-
ceding one, and it was admitted they had no pewter mea-
sure of any kind in the house for the use of the customers.
He was also filled in the mitigated penalty of lOa. and costa,
but the aldermen wished the trade generally to know that
for the future the full penalty of 51. would be enforced is
Wily case.
BOW.ISTREET. . .

A well-dressed man, whogave the name of Samuel
Woodall, and appeared to be oblivious as to his occupation
and address, was brought before Mr. Corns on a charge of
stealing and obtaining by labs pretences the sum of 401.
from Johann Christian Leichfeldt, the roaster of • Prussian
barque now lying in the Victoria Docks.
The prosecutor spoke English very imperfectly, but with
the assistance of the police-constable, who happened to be
able to speak German very badly, be was enabled to relate
the particulars of his remarkable adventures in town. He
stated that on the 16th inst. be was standing on London-
bridge, looking into the water from the pumas!, and
smoking a cigar, when the prisoner walked up to him, and,
bowing most politely, requested the favour of •
light. Witness replied that his cigar had just gone out,
unfortunately, but that they could get one at the end of the
bridge, where juvenile dealern in fusses generally congregated.
During their walk witness informed the stranger that be
was the captain of a Prussian vessel, and, being only just
arrived in London, was naturally elisions to see something
of the " manners and customs of the English ;" but that he
laboured under the disadvantage of having no friends in
town to guide him in his re searches. The prisoner replied
that, by • singularcoiscidence, he was himself the master of
• vowel, which had just arrived from Edinburgh ; but being
thoroughly well acquaintel with London, it would afford
him infinite pleasure to be the escort of a foreign brother
in the nautical profession. He stated that he had not been
to the Crystal Palace for eight yearn, and had made up
his mind to go there the nest day, sodas this was one of the
lions of London' no doubt wigwam would like to accompany
him. Witness readily assented to the proposition, and an
appointment for the nest y was made accordingly ; 1110111•
while, the Harmer verykindly suggested that, as be was
net ly engaged, the remainder of the afternoon
might be spent in studying some of the Boom of the City.

WOOLLEN.—LEue, Jura 27.—The markets this morn-
ing were well attended, but were not charactensed by any
unusual animation. In the Coloured-hells several fair
paresis of tweeds changed bands, also a sprinkling of light
meltons and checks, chiefly in the way of jobs. There were
some inquiries also for diagonals of substance suitable for au-
tumo, and a good many sample sales were effected. The
Whitehall was quiet; a few mediums and hair-lists met with
purchasers, but on the whole not much was done. Witneye
in various styles commanded a fair share of attention.
Bates remain without material change.

HARDWARE.—Buiniucriaii, Jugs 27.—The trade of
this town has rallied during the peat week ; not only have
the factors given out a fair quantity of orders on account of
the new quarter, but there are reports of the prospect of in-
creased animation in the country trade. It is scarcely pro-
bable that the improvement will be very considerable at this
season, but it is at least setidactory to know that • better
tone exists relative to the future of trade, and with the im-
proved prospects as to the harvest it is not unreasonable to
&suns that these anticipations will be realised. The fresh
orders just given out have been sufficient to give an appear-
mace of more activity at the manufactories, at most of which
the men have been working full time. lo the most important
o: the staple trader there has not been much change of late,
but in fancy goods therein certainly more doing. The steel-
pen makers report business quiet ; such is also the
state of the button trade, very little animation
hiving been experieoced all through the spring.
The foreign trade in slack, especially to the north of
Europe ; for the West Indies there is also very little doing,
and the reports received by the merchants here from that
quarter are unfavourable as regards the future. The nail-
maken in this district are on strike to the number of pro.
bahly 10,000 ; it is an old dispute about wages, and the
men will probably remain out until, in consequence of the
exhaustion of their resources, they are driven in again.
When the men are at work the wages they earn is so small
that saving is out of the question, so that the straits to
which they are reduced in the time of • strike is slinckiog
to contemplate. The nailer, are the victims to an oppres-
sive truck system, which is carried on in contravention of
the act of parliament to au extent which is incalculable,
hence the frequency of these strikes, which have become
chronic in the mul.producieg region of North Worcester-
shire.
