THE CASK OF MR. BLUKDE.I-4".
Lord BROUGHAM ',roweled the PeUties et a Mr.
of an intolerable grievance
Blundell, who complained
to which be bad been subjected in consequence of the im-
perfect mete of the law. Mr. Blundell seeing a pylon
committed for trial charged with threatening the life of an
attorney, wrote to the committing magistrates,
giving a full account of the transaction. The man
was kept in prison for five or six months—his family were
sent to the workhouse, and, in short, he was utterly ruined.
When the cane came before the grand jury, on which there
happened to be several of the committing magistrates, the
hill w/o ignored ; but the poor man, unable, as he said with
hi. dying breath, to bear up against the obloquy to which
he had been 'objected, put an end to his life. The attorney
proceeded against Mr. Blundell for writing the letter,
but instead of suing him for damages, in which
ease he would have Iran heard as well as the
attorney, he indicted him for libel, and Mr. Blau-
dell's mouth we, thereby closed. The judge who tried
him (Mr. Justice Hill) was so convinced that he had been
ill-used that he absolutely refused to per sentence
upon him. The case was therefore remitted to the
Court of Queen'. Beech ; but not only was Mr. Blundell
unable to tell his tale, but Mr. Justice Hill's notes of the
trial were in such a state in consequence of his indisposition,
that they could not be used by the court. Mr. Blundell was
therefore committed for eight months. Mr. Blundell com-
plained, and he (Lord Brougham) thought most justly com-
plained, of the state of the law. He did not go quite so
far as his friend Sir Samuel Romilly, and say that defen-
dants in criminal cases should always be examined ; but he
thought that when they volunteered it, and offered them-
pelvis for crais-examination, their evidence should be re-
ceived.

DRAMA.

MADAME RISTORI AT HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.
Messrs. Scribe and Legouve's drama of Adrienne
Lecourreur, rendered famous by the acting of Rachel, and
known to English audiences through the medium of • weak
and =dilated translation, was last night presented at this
theatre in a careful Italian make, by M. thaillier,
Madame Meted performing the principal character, con-
structed after the orthodox model of the French drama of
iotrig-in—in which powder and patches, swords and
buckles, and high-heeled shoes are such biffispenseble
features. The play has plenty of pointed dialogue,
and abundance of cleverly contrived situatious.
It is only in the last two acts that the drama rises from
light comedy into that beak region in which Madame Rte.
tort is mostly at home. The well-known wens in which the
ordered and tattered Adrienne overwhelms her rival, the
Princess de Bouillon, by reciting a paseage from Racioe's
Photos, having special application to the Princess's amour
with the Prince of Saxooy, is the first great point I. the play;
and this was rendered by Madame Ristori with her usual
vigour and intensity. The dying same in the fifth
Act is the climax of the play, in which the
horrors, though some what prolonged, were in the
highest degree effective. The workings of the poison
suppoesd to be inhaled from • bouquet sent to Adrienne by
her rival—the troubled respiration and gradual sinking—
' the floatieg dreams of past triumphs oa the stage—the coo-
staid struggle between her love far the Count and he/terror
of desth— were all depicted ,with • power which,
if not absolutely true to nature, wee in the
of highest style of theatriael art. The =au bad
the &donde= ' being well cast, the subordinate
actors to be far more at home In this kind of
drama in some others in which they have recently ap-
. tender Seamed
in the part of Michounet, the filth-
retard tender-h dad stage-manager, performed with •
bread humour and feding which were well appreciated.
Signor Ciotti, as the Count of Saxony, was sufficiently lively
and impudoned ; and Mdlle. Glecb, as the Primes, de
Scullion, acted her somewhat ungracious part very pleasingly.

SIMIOUS RAIIWAY AOCIDINT.—CARDIFF, FRI-

THE CRYSTAL PALACE,—After our report left
yesterday Mr. Coxwell wee sent for by the Prince of Wales,
and had the honour of explaining fully all the details of the
huge machine and the various appurtenances need for ma-
naging the balloon while ameading and descending, with all
of which his royal highness appeared exceedingly interested.
The Prince remained to witness the anoint of the balloon,
which Mr. Coxwell made with Mr. Birkbeck at one o'clock,
and from the comparative stillness of the air the
great machine remained a long time in sight, and,
we may add, descended safely in the afternoon
on Crofton Farm beyond Bromley. After the ascent the
Prince quitted the gardens and rode back to town. The
decision of the committee awarding the prises for the steam
fee-engine, having, of course, to be based on the careful
consideration of an infinite of minute but important details,
cannot be made known before Wednesday or Thursday next.
It wee, however, a very general opinion on the ground that
Mr. Merryweather had gained the first prize for largeengines
(60 cwt), and Messrs. Shand and Mason the first prize foe
small (30 cwt.). It is the small engines, however, which
are the great desiderata lust now.

UUII;DHALL

John Beckett, the relieving officer of the West London
Colon, was summoned before Alderman Copeland to answer
the following complaint.
.. _

Cox,
--
Michael Cox, a decrepid old roan, said—l am 67 years of
age. lam usable to work, and my wife is unable to get
anything to do, so we Lave been receiving from the Wert
Loudon Union during the last 6or 7 months one 41b. loaf
and 2s. 6d. every week, and as that was not sufficient to
support us, for we have parted with everything, I applied
on 'Tuesday last to be taken into the house at the West
London Union, sod went before the board, but they refused
to admit me. Oa Wednesday I felt very bad and sent my
wife to the doctor (Mr. Kelly), and he gave me a medical
order, stating I was suffering from great debility, and recom-
mending that I should be supplied with Ma, of beef and
some oatmeal. I sent my wife with the order cn Thursday
morning, but the defendant refused to give her the beef and
ostmosl.

In reply to this charge it wu attempted to be shown that
the doctor had given his certificate in ignorance of the true
state of the case, and soother certificate of complainant's
state by the Fame medical man was put in supporting thin
view of the matter, and stating teat complaisant was able
to follow his usual occupation.
Alderman Copeland rid, however, that be stionl 1 fine
defendant 40a, and have the whole of the depositions for-
warded to the Poor-law Board.

Beckett—Will you increase the fine to fiL, en that I can
appeal'
Alderman Copeland—No. I have no doubt about the
ease. I have given my decision and shall not swerve from it.
Beckett—Then it is a very unjust decision.

Alderman Copeland—lb "not make any impertinent re-
marks, or I shall have to deal with you for contempt of court,
The decision was received by the auditory with unmistake-
able tokens of approbation, and the defendant (who vowed
he would not pay the fine) was greeted with groans and
hisses as he prepared to It-anthe court.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

Moot on owo

PARIS, niMiT EV7512(0.

The Emperor's departure for Vichy is postponed
from the 6th to the Bth, and there seems to be a
doubt whether he will even go then. He presides
at a ministerial council on Tuesday, and Bullier's
Correspondence is instructed to suggest that he may
possibly not think it right to leave Paris for some
days, because the Russian answer—or the absence
.. ..

of Russian answer within a reasonable time—
may " necessitate grave resolutions." These are
ominous words and clash somewhat with the more
peaceable reading of the news which has prevailed
for the last day or two. The France, however,
which has just now better claims to " inspiration "
than any other journal, clearly looks upon war as
on the cards. In au article, reproaching the
Opinion Nationale and some English journals for
belonging to the "war party," it affects the be-
lief that the Russian answer will be favourable
and will lead to a conference. Therefore, but there-
fore alone, it condemns all thought of war as " pre-
mature ;" but in case of a refusal on the part of
Russia, the France does look for war, and takes it
for granted that France and England must neces-
sarily join in it.
The Empress and the Imperial Prince, who were
to have remained at Fontainebleau while the Empe-
ror was at Vichy, will now, it is maid, go to St. Cloud
next week.

The assertion of several journals that M. Baroche
had withdrawn the prosecution instituted by his
predecessor against the seven bishops for an
" abuse " of their functions in publishing an
electoral manifesto is positively contradicted. The
case is going on in due course before the Council
of State, and M. Suin is named reporter upon it.
ISo far, therefore, there is no ground for saying that
M. Rouland's dismissal meant truckling to the
church.

There are rumours of M. Dronyn de Lhnys'
resignation ; and it is also said that M. Boitelle,
the Prefect of Police, will be provided with another
place, and be succeeded by Count Treilhard, whose
" direction of the press " it is hoped may be
suppressed.
There is no change of moment at the Bourse.

The Marquis de Galliffet, the Emperor's aide-de-
camp who was badly wounded before Puebla, has ar-
rived in Paris from Southampton, where he landed
from the English steamer Shannon. He is doing
well.

The Emperor has sent 10,000 fr. for the relief of
the sufferers by the great fire at Nantes.
"Information has been received at the Ministry
of War," says the Bulletin de Paris, "of the speedy
arrival in France of 300 officers of the Mexican
army. They are to be assigned residences until
further orders at Tours, Bourges, Toulouse, &c."

CLE#XENWELL

A well-dressed man, who gave the name of Jolts Johnson
sod described himself as a warehouseman, residing at 80,
Packingtonatreet, Islington, was charged before Mr. Barker
with committing a moat brutal assault on his wife, Ellen
Rosa Johnson. _ _

Complainant stated that on the night in question her
husband struck her a tremendous blow, and made her noes
bleed very much. He bed struck her many times before,
but she bad not complained. She would not have appeared
against him now had he apologised, or said be would not do
.9.l*°*. .

Zr 7 Alexander—ls that the assault you complain of !
Complainant—No. (She then bared bar arms, and a
most dreadful sight presented Wal(. The right arm from
the elbow to the shoulder was like a piece of black liver,
and not a &Male particle of white skin could be seen. Th.;
other arm, though not so bad, was very much bruised and
swollen.)
. _ _

-ibenixties in the court hissed the defendant, and it was
a moment or so bef..re silence could be obtained.
The defendant said—l admit that I struck her and in-
flicted those injuries, but I did it in salt defence. Il I bad
not done so I should have had my eyes scratched out.
Mr. Alexander (to complainant)—You hear what he says.
Is that so ?
. _

Complainant—No ; I put up my hands in self•defenca.
He called me vile names. and I told him if I was what he
represested me he was worse.
Mr. Barter adjourned the ease for a few days, and ordered
the defendant to enter into his own reonnisances in the sum

MERKENWELL.

SINGULAR CHARGE ON RORBER T.—HAWAII OP THU LADIES.
Thomas Me!drum a7oung man with Dondreary whiskers
and moustache, his law, being carefully parted in the centre,
who described himself sea clerk., residing at 120, Homing-
ford-road, was charged before Mr. Barker with steeling
from the room of Ellen Godson, 20, Albert. terrace, Isling-
ton, a shawl, value 7s. 6d., her property.
The oomplainant, who was very smartly attired, maid that
she was a prostitute, and had known the prisoner as Thomas
Moore for some time. One day when she was away from
home the prisoner went to her room, and without her sanc-
tion or consent took away the shawl produced. She had
only seen him once since, and then she would have given
him into custody had he not made his escape.
Mr. Alexander (second clerk)—Mow can you may that he
took the shawl when you were not there to see him take it?
Have you any witnesses?
Complainant—He told me that he took the shawl and it
was found at his mother's house. I have witnesses, but
they are not now in attendance.
Mr. Alexander—Why did you not bring them here if you
wanted to go on with the charge? Have you been drinking
title morning ?
Complainant—Drinkiog ? Certainly not, and Ism surpris cd
at your asking the question.
The prisoner, in answer to the charge, said be bad
known the " lady " for some time, and used to visit her at
her apartments. He was now only in custody through
spite, because he would not speak to her. He called to see
her one evening, and she being out, he asked her landlady
if he might not take the shawl, as it was cold ; and she told
him yes. The complainant knew where the shawl was, sad
could have had it at any time. The whole fact of the mat-
ter was that she was jealous of him. (A laugh.)
Mr. Alexander—There is no evidence against the pri- I
loner, and if the complainant had wanted to go on with the
she should have brought her witnesses. Anyone
2aulrir, ,and
through this paltry charge.
Mr. Barker, the magistrate, said there was no evidence
on which he could detain the prisoner, and he would be
discharged.

SWEDEN AND POLAND.

The central committee, lately formed in Sweden,
in aid of Poland, has sent a warm address to the
Polish committee of Paris. The document adduces
arguments to prove historically the solidarity which
exista between France, Poland, and Sweden ; and
then enumerates the wounds which Swedish pa-
triotism has had to support from the Czars, and
particularly the subjection of Finland. It terminates
by expressing the hope that " the French people will
do more than it has hitherto done, and act within
a brief delay, called, as it is, to always combat the
first for civilisation and liberty."

EARTHQUAKE AT RHODES.

A supplement to the Low= Herald, dated Thurs-
day morning, April 30, 'says :—" A telegram re-
ceived yesterday evening from Smyrna by the
Greek Patriarch, reports the occurrence of a most
disastrous earthquake at Rhodes on the 22nd inst.,
resulting in the destruction of 2,000 houses and a
proportionate lose of human life. The news of the
calamity had reached Smyrna by a special steamer
sent by the governor of the island for tents and
other material succour for the surviving victims of
the disaster. A similar requisition has been ad-
dressed to the Porte, and an Admiralty steamer
will leave to-day or to-morrow with a supply of
tents and other requisites." On the same day, it
will be remembered, two shocks of an earthquake
were experienced at Alexandria, of which our cor-
respondent gave an account in hi.% letter of April
27, and which appeared in the Daily News on
Thursday last.

MEETING OF MIDDLESEX MAGISTRATES.

A general meeting of the magistrates of the
county of Middlesex was held ywdsrday at the 13ewioes
House, Clerkenwellinseo, for the transaction of the meal
county bestows; Mr. HMRY POWNALL, chairman of the
board of magistrates, presided, and the court was very
numerously attended by magistrates front every part of the
county.

The report of the committee of accounts and general per.
poses was presented, which dated that bills and account' of
the county for the quarter had been made up to Christmas
bat, amounting to 16,7761. The cost of the several county
establishments for the yearamounted to the sum of 138,2891.
Si. 3d., being in suer of the cost of the preceding year
by the sum of 5,9981.45. sd. The report, which contained
• variety of otataties, showing how the money had bees
expended, was adopted.
The annual report of the committee of visitors of the
county Lunatic Asylum at }Unwell was presented, which
stated that the number of patients in the asylum au the
31st of December, 1861, was 1,446, viz., 527 males and 919
females. On the 31st of December, 1862, there were 663
males and 939 females, being • toed of 1,502.

The reports from the visiting justices of Coldbath-Belde,
Westminster, and the House of Detention at Clerkenwell,
were presented, but they contained no matter of special
interest. They were received and ordered to be printed.
The question of what shall be done with our convicts wee
fully discussed. . . .

Mr. J. F. STANFORD brought forward the subject in a
lengthy speech, in which he strongly denounced the present
system of penal servitude, and advocated a recurrence to
transportation for ariminsla convicted of offences against
the person. He proposed a string of resolutions to carry
out his views, adding one for the suppression of mendicancy
in sll its (ono..

Some discussion took place, and eventually Mr. Sys!from)
altered his resolutions so as to refer the whole subject of
penal servitude toe committee to be 000sidered.
The resolutiou thus altered was carried.

NAPLES.

NAPLES, JAx. 10.

Several influential personages have interceded
for the priests arrested on the occasion of the little
pronunciamerito of St. Lucia. The authorities did
not at first appear to lend a willing ear to these
pleadings ; but they were probably not without in-
fluence. At all events, a great many of the pri-
soners have been tenderly dealt with. Father Must*,
who preached against the present order of things,
has been released on his promise that he will not
preach any more. Father Borghi prayed to be
allowed to go to Rome, and he has been furnished
with a passport. Mgr. Acciardi and Mgr. Toms
are allowed to choose a residence in the country,
where they will live under surveillance. Four
ecclesiastics still remain in prison ; these are—the
curd of St. Joseph ; Mgr. Mancinelli, the curd of
St. Lucia ; M. de Angelis, of the same church ;
and the Bishop of Carreto, Mgr. Sola. Very seri-
ous charges, supported by written proofs, are made
against these four and they will probably be
brought to trial. The police were lately told that
a plot existed to blow up the church of Jesu Nuovo,
The story is probably untrue ; nevertheless, the
church was closed on Sunday last.

"M. Minister,—l do not think, despite the colour
which is attributed to the influential members of
the new cabinet, the relations of the Italian govern-
ment with the government of the Emperor can be,
iu any respect whatever, modified. K iticasoli, from
the first day, was very desirous to tell me so, and
his language was identical with that of M. Ratazzi.
The friends of Baron Ricasoli remain, like him,

grateful to France for the sacrifices which she has
made for Italy. They feel that they cannot march
forward without her ; much less in spite of her ;
that without a solution honourable for all par-
ties, the Emperor cannot withdraw his troops
from Rome. For my part I limit myself for the
moment to repeating what your excellency has
written in all letters in your reply to General
Durand°, that you would receive with eagerness
any proposition which allowed of arriving at an
honourable and equitable solution of the Roman

IMPORTANT RAILWAY AGREEMENTS.

The following circular has been issued :

" The directors have much satisfaction in communicating
to the Great Western proprietors that, in conjunction with
the West Midland Company, they have entered into two
separate agreements—the one with the London and South
Western Railway Company, and the other with the London
and North Western Railway Company.
"The main object of these agreements is to utilise existing
lines, by iocreased facilities being given to each other;
, thereby affording improved accommodation to the public,
' and avoiding expenditure by the projection of new lines,
which might tend to unnecessary or injurious competition.
" The agreements made for amalgamation of the West
Midland and South Wales Companies with the Great
Western Company are presented for confirmation by par.
lamest in the approaching session.
"The only bill for a new work promoted in this session
by the Great Western Company is to complete a short junc-
tion at Great Bridge, in South Staffordshire, between two
lines already formed, and for which provision is made
under the terms of the agreement with the London and
North Western Railway Company.
"So many reports have been circulated which are en-
likely at variance with the policy pursued by the directors,
end which are calculated to mislead the proprietors, that it
has been thought desirable, notwithstanding the near ap-
proach of the half-yearly meeting, to place these facts
before them at once. The directors will he prepared, when
they meet the proprietors in February, to afford a full
explanation of these matters.
