THIRD COURT.

(Before Thomas Chambers, Q.C., Coalman Sarjaant).
Christopher Menai% an elderly man of respectable ap-
pearance, surrendered to take bin trial on an indictment
charging him with stealing a telescope a brass compass case.
and other articles, the property of John Browning, his
meter and employer.
Mr. Orridge appeared for the proseention, and Mr. Met-
calfe defended the prisoner.
. .

This cam occupied the attention of the court and jury for
a very considerable time, but the circumstance. which gave
rise to the prosecution may be thus narrated. The prom-
eutor is a manufacturing optician, carryiag on his
Mariner at No. 111, Mmories, and the prisoner had been
in the employment of the prosecutor for the last two and I
a-belt years, and had been in the service of the prosecutor's
father for newly 15 years. The prisoner bald the position
of foreman over as establishment consisting of between I
30 and 40 men, and was admitted to be a most in-
telligent and skilful workman. On the 4tb of August.,
from information which reached him, the prose-
cutor was induced to examine the drawers in the 1
prisoner's bench io the workshop, and there he found
the castings of microscopes and other articles which formed
no part of his manufacture. The allegation on the part of
the prosecution was that thin work was being done by the I
aid of the prosecutor's workmen by order of the prisoner for
his own private benefit and advantage ; but it was elicited
from the prosecutor on cross-examination that the prisoner
had frequently advised him to add microscopes to his other
manufactures, but the prosecutor had constantly refused to
do so. The articles found included the limas maths( for mi-
croscopes and for two machines celled jiggers for cutting
glass, and these, it was insisted, were matron/ to the
gretor's orders, and the work had bees dose at
oucet for the prisoser's private purposes and
advantage. The property thus found wee restored
to the drawer. is which it was discovered, and the
next morning, a detective anew being is attendance, the
prisoner was called down from his work and charged with
felony. He was marched at the time, sad from his pocket

of their bank getting to be understood by othela, their I
own shares attain an extraordinary value. A share
on which 261. has been paid is quoted at 21 pra-
t:Mtn; and if two issues of new shares have been
made to the prOprietors in order to increase
'the paid-sp capital, the bolder of an original share
finds thlt in right of it he has received within two
years of t►e foundation of the bank, besides his
dividends, as much as 601. the increased value of
his three shares. There can be no doubt that •
body of men thus associated, who have confidence
in one another, and are bound together by mutual
interests, may promote speculation to an enormous
extent altogether unsuspected by the outside I
public, who wonder at the inexplicable apprecia-
tion of new shares. We have drawn no fancy
sketch, and the indications it supplies may help to
explain some recent extraordinary phenomena of
the Stock and Share Market.

ties. The subject was a very important one, sod there were
very great difficulties in the way of legislation. When the
Hackney Carriages Bill was before parliament the subject
was di.cussed, sada clause was proposed to meet the diffi-
culties suggested by the hon. gentleman. but it wan with-
drawn. There were some parochial authorities, under the

_COMMITTEE OF PRIVY

COUNCIL.
(Bdore lard Kindrdwa. 84: J. Coloriddri, sir L LYzar
and Dr. Loshinton.)
THE REV. W. LEO V. THE BISHOP OP CAPE TOWN.

This morning at the sitting of the court,
Sir H. Cairns resumed his address oa Wulf of the
appellant, citing eases with a view to show that it was not
competent for the Bishop of Cape Town to hold such •
sy ood as that which Mr. Lo had refused to attend; and that,
therefore, the laws and nations passed thereat were not
binding upon those who, like the wellant, had formally
protested against them. He proceeded to argue that dim.
obedience in such a case could not be considered an
ecclesiastical drew*, and further that the bishop was not
empowered under his letters patent to hold such courts ma
those at which the sentences of suspenaion and deprivation
were passed.

THE GALWAY CONTRACT.

Mr. GREGORY said be wished to ask the noble lord
at the head of the government whether any intima-
ties hod been 6rag to the Atlantic Company that the
noleidy formerly granted was about to be restored. and
mho, if so, that intimation had been coupled with conditions,
AM • certain sliding scale of prima would be attached en-
needing to the speed of the vends.
Lord PALMERSTON said a communication had recently
been mods by the Tremory to the Galway Company, to the
affect that if in accordance with previous communications
the Admiralty should report that the company were in a
petition in point of vessels to perform the duty which they
proposed to undertake, her Majesty's government would be
prepared to recommend a renewal of the coronet to that
Louse ; with regard to the detailed arrangements, they
wield be settled between the company and the government ;
but the government had not attached the condition that
then should be a sliding wile at payment depending upon
tie rapidity or slowness of the emeek. (Hear, hear.)

FRANCE AND POLAND.

The Opinion Nationale insists strongly on the
necessity of France interfering in favour of Poland,
if she wishes to preserve her reputation as a protec-
tor of oppressed nationalities. The following are
some passages from the article :
. . . .

Koscinako's exelsunation on the brittle-field of Magowiore
" Fink Polonite," was not • prophecy, but a cry of despair,
the expression of the conquered patriot's grief. In fact, if
the Poles have yielded to the fatality of force, at
least they have never believed in the extinction of their
country—in the end of Poland. From the first partition, in
1772, to our own times, their attitude has been a constant
protest against the conquest, The nation still lives ;
but, were there not • eine* Pole left to denounce
the iniquity committed against that people, the,
very soil would suffice to trouble the conscience of
its sharers and accuse them of treason against
nation. And who can say that • nation is extinct, when
we have before our eyes a double resurrection, which I
was declared impossible, in Roumania and Italy ? Besides,
did not Fiume, for eighteen years, publicly declare by her
official organs that Poland should not perish ? That is a
solemn engagement which cannot be forgotten or rejected
like an idle and thoughtless promise. It was not a man, a
minister, a king. who proclaimed the re-establishment of
Poland : it was a nation -France herself. So, at every
new attempt made by the valiant Poles, there is not •
Frenchman, whatever hie station, who does not feel pro-
found regret and bitter anguish on account of these in-
human straggles, this shedding of generous blood. France
has intervened in Italy, China, Mexico, the United States ;
she has done great things ; but her glory will not be com-
plete till she shall have solved the question of Polish
nationality in conformity with her engagements of thirty
years past. It is a French debt, and honour demands its
payment.

IATICST INTELLIGENOL

THE

lON IN POLAND.

Letters from Warsaw speak of the appearance of
the manifesto of the National Committee, in which
it is said, "The moment will shortly come when
the inhabitants of Warsaw will have no longer to
envy their brethren in the provinces as regards par-
ticipation in the contest."
The Temps of to-day has a letter from Warsaw, in
which we read :

It is very difficult—in the present state of things aimed
impossible—to say what will be the consequences of this
movement, now become nearly universal, and for which all
classes of the population are ready to furnish their contin-
gent. But in view of what we witness, it is still more
difficult to see in it the effeotof aplot—a long-prepared plan.
Poor conspirators indeed would they be who should have
contemplated and decreed the insurrection of a whole people
without having for the day of the outburst munitions, arms,
or chiefs! The only thing premeditated is the provocation
of which the recruiting was but the last act. The govern-
ment could not endure the spectacle of this nation in
mourning, always having victims ready for sacrifice, but re-
fusing the combat. This continual protest urged on the
ambitious and the powerful, who bad promised at St.
Petersburg to change it all. They said to themselves
that they would force it to quit this passive character, and
in that they have partly succeeded. As for the accusations
of massacres and communism, they are so belied by
evidence, and even by official reports, that I believe I
should be doing injustice to your readers by stopping to
refute them. What is unhappily true is that when the
Russians make prisoners, or when the wounded fall into
their power, before they are consigned to the summary
justice 'which awake them, and of which many have
already felt the effect, the soldiers treat them with the
greatest inhumanity.
