GUILDHALL.

Mr. Samuel Dolby, boot and shoemaker, 151, Fleet•street,
was charged with assaulting his wife.
Mr. Wood, for the complainant, suggested an arrange-
moat of the case, which, if gone into, would entail a very
swine expose.
Mr. Wontner, for defendant, acceded, and the parties
withdrew into an adjoining room. In a short time it was
announced that defendant had agreed to allow his wife
12s. ad. a week to lin separate.
Mr. Wontner said, now that the case was disposed of, he
i wished to state that which he should have proved if the
complaint had Imogene into, vim., that the statement made
12 the complainant when she applied for the summons was

MARLBOROUI

Jelin Redding eadii;;;;YaseTi, two well known thieves,
were charged with stealing two gowns, a frock, a shawl,
and other articles of wearing apparel, of the value of 31, the
property of Louisa Dole, No. 10, tipper 111arylebone-street.
The complainant stated that about sight o'clock last eight
she was in the kitchen, when she heard a noise overhead in
the parlour. She ran up stairs and saw the two prisonen
come out of the front parlour, and run oat into the street,
pulling the front door after them. She opened the dear
and pursued them, calling out " Stop thief," as far u
Charlten-street, where she missed these. She then returned
home, and on searching the parlour she found a
large canvas bag, very bulky in appearance, which she
opened, and there found the property named in the charge,
and which she bad seen safe in her drawer at Ave o'clock.
The prisoners ware subsequently brought back to her house
in custody of the polite, when she at once identified them
as the men she bad seen ran out of the house.
John Rea proved seeing the prisoners run out of the pro-
secutria's house, and in consequence of hearing the latter
call out " Stopthiet," he followed them as far u Upper
Charlton-street, where they were stopped by the police,
who, in consequence of what he told them, took them into
custody.
The prisoners, in defence, denied even being in proem-
tries house at all ; the fact was they were running up the
I street, when all at once they were collared by the police on
I the charge of robbery.
The prisoners, who were proved to be old offenders, were
reaaded till Saturday.

MANSION-HOUSE.

W. Morland wu brought before the Lord Mejor for final
11111111ination, upon the charge or having feloniously uttered
• forged •ecepunee to a bill of exchange for 3001, with
intent to defraud the banking hones of Smith, Payne, and
Smith.

Mr. MuUens, of the firm of Bush and Mullen., attended
for the prosecution; Mr. Humphreys, jun., of the firm of
Humphreys and Co., for the defence.
Mr. Davie, whew signature was stated to be forged, said
" The acceptance to this bill is, I am sorry to say, net in my
handwriting, nor has my signature been written to it by my
authority."
Mr. O. F. Craw, clerk in the issue department of the
Bank of Er gland, proved that on the 27th of January he
paid a ticket, payable to Linton, for 3001., which bed been
brought to him in 6L and 101. notes, the numbers of which
he specified.
Mr. Hayward, jeweller, of Regent-street, stated that on
the evening of the 27th of January a young man, accom-
panied by a female, purchased at his shop a diamond ring,
a wedding ring, and a keeper. The diamond ring he at
once identified as that which had been given into the
possession of Haydon, the detective efficer, by a female,who
said she had received it from the prisoner. The other
rings he could not identify. The trinkets bad been paid
for with two five pound notes, which were of those given in
change at the Bank of England, and which had been paid
into the Union Bank of London by the witness.
Other evidence was brought forward in completion of the
case, and the prisoner was committed for trial, the Lord
Mayor having refused to take bail for his appearance at the
Central Criminal Court.
The Lord Mayor stated that he had received the follow-
ing litter from Mr. J. Tidd Pratt, of which his lordship
requested insertion in the pm.:
" London, Feb. 15, 1856.
"My Lord Mayor,—l have been requested by the mem-
bers of the Royal Standard Benefit Society, Chandoe-
street., Covent-garden, to hand over to you, towards the
Royal Patriotic Fund, the sum of 50 guinea..
" Not one shilling of this sum has been taken from the
fends, but arises from the profits of a ball given by the
members, at the Freemasons' Tavern.
" I am, my Lord Mayor, yours. faithfully,
" J. Two Paarr."

GERMANY.

PRUSSIA.
(Pl.Oll THE 111011LE5PONDIUIT OP THE DULY NM.)
BERLIN, Fen. 12.
You will have heard by the telegraph that Count
Eeterhazy has returned to Berlin. This is a proof
that the cabinet of Vienna hes confidence in the
diplomatic talents of the Count, and entrusts the
same person who was mainly instrumental in
bringing about the hostile attitude which Austria
and Prussia Lad assumed, with the delicate and diffi-
cult task of bringing about a reconciliation between
the two cabinets. Such a reconciliation is the more
necessary, as Austria still claims not only from
Prussia, but from all the other German Mates,
the mobilisation of their several contingents,
whilst by continuing to negotiate with France
the details of the military convention, she gives proof
how earnestly she looks to her own interests, and
how little regard she pays to those of others. The
ultimate result of this conduct is plain; the diplo-
matic relations between the two great German
powers will be reduced by degrees till they reach
a minimum, or are entirely broken off, whilst the
intimacy of the Austrians with "the hereditary
enemy"—as the court party are pleased to call tho
French—is daily increasing, and the military com-
missioners of Austria are fraternising with the Impe-
rial Guides.

The wish to circumvent Austria and negotiate directly
with the Western Powers, is very natural, after what
has already paned between the two courts; but the
great difficulty lies in finding a proper basis for negotia-
tions ; for one of the most important concessions made
by France to Austria is the excluding Prussia from
the "European concert," unless the latter is ready to
sign a treaty binding her to act in future with the
allies. If Prussia had been willing to do this, she
might have done so long since, by simply giving in
her adhesion to the December treaty; but she still
wants to maintain her neutrality, supporting herself
by the fragile declaration of Russia of her readiness
to swept all the preliminary conditions imposed
by the conference at Vienna—with the exception
of razing Sebastopol and the reduction of the
'fleet in the Black Sea, and adding more-
over that she (Prussia) would withdraw her troops
from Silesia, and did not entertain the most distant
intention of attacking the Austrians. The principal
object of General Wedell's special mission to Paris
appears to be the negative one of proving that
Prussia has throughout acted in a frank and open
manner, and by her conduct given the Western
Powers no cause for alarm or suspicion.
The intelligence of the new British cabinet has
created an unfavourable impression here, principally
from Lord Palmerston being Premier, and great fears
are entertained of his following a hostile course
towards Prussia in his foreign policy.

FRENCH IDEA OF COLONEL SIBTHORP.

Among several of Mr. Cattermole's water paintings—.
says La Patrie, in an article on the Exhibition—there is one
that requires particular attention. The most remarkable,
both from its size and the singularity of the subject, is one
that goes by the fantastic title of " Sir Biorn of the glittering
eyes." It is then a question of a somewhat wild legend
with which Mr. Cattermole has familiarised himself in read-
ing the " Sintram and his Companions" of Motte•Fouque.
It seems that Sir Biorn was troubled with a profound con-
tempt for his oontemporary knights ; at least it is thus that
we mount for his singular taste, for "he was in the daily
habit of placing the armour of his ancestors, instead of com-
pany, around the table at which he est to drink." We
have, thee, a banquet of SIMMS, at which presides, with •
Byways sort of dignity," Sir Biorn of the glittering eyes."
What surprises us is that none of the hollow and sonorous
guests appear cold or stiff; they are all animated with a certain
sombre gaiety, and seem to move their limbs as though
they were shouting " hurrah " in drinking the health of
their noble Amphitryon and faithful descendant.
In the House of Commons there is an eccentrie colonel, a
true gentleman of the old school, who lately on the floor of
the house declared himself "a real John Bull," and who at
every opportunity that promote itself never fails making a
furious sortie against I.reignen ; who has vowed war to the
knife against the Crystal Palaces of Hyde-park and of Sy-
denham, which he compares to the Trojan horse, to an
infernal machine, got up in favour of Frenchmen ; in short,
a man who would st-ip the age in its march, and who, since
the Anglo-French alliance, leads a retired life on his estate,
predicting the end of the world. " Sir Biorn of the glit-
tering eyes" was the Colonel Sibthorp of his time.

RUSSIAN ACCOUNTS FROM THE BALTIC.

The Rani= journals and the continental journals
in the Russian interest continue to assert that neither
the fortress nor the batteries of Sweaborg are hurt,
and that the injury inflicted conbists in the "burning
of a few houses."

Yesterday's Itetlepeidattee Beige contains the fol-
lowing:

HAMBURG, Avo. 17.

aloud telegraphic despatches received to-day from
Swedes present the result of the bombardment of Sweaborg
is • dilatant light to that given by the despatches of
English origin, and dated from Konigsberg, Dantx:e, and
other Prussian cities in the Baltic. As an impartial chro-
nicler, it is my duty to send you the Sweden version.
According to these account', the bombardment against
Sweaborg, which lasted nearly three days, with • vigour
hitherto unknown I. the history of naval warfare, has not
produced such an effect as ought to give rise to much self
gratulation. The fortress and the encrusted batteries in
the flu islands of the road remain intact. One only of the
batteries—that moot advanced, and, consequently, most,
exposed to the enemy's shells—was destroyed, and they
have not to deplore any other explosion than that of a
torture stationed in this place,and full of powder taken from
the depots of the fortress for the use of the guns.
The greater number of the private houses in the cloy,
which is very circumscribed, and all the stores of wood, whir
the building dockyard, have been burnt by the coopers
rockets. For several months this dukyard has contained
only articles of very slight value.

-
The shells and balls thrown by the gun and mortar boats
failed to reach the rocks of lielsingfors, behind which the
almond division of the Russian Baltic fleet bas been sheltered
dace the end of May last. The city of Helsingfon, to-day the
most important in Finland, and the seat of the Government,
has not been toarbed by the projectiles.
AU the troops had come out, and were placed in order of
battle upon the shores, in the expectation of seeing the
Allies disembark after three days' bombardment, but the
attempt was not made. All the muesli have left, and have
taken up their former positions at the island of Norge°,
opposite Morel.

The superiority of the lire from mortar and gan•boata is
I established. The shells thrown vertically went mach fur-
ther than the balls from the EGUIStII batteries of Sweaborg.

MANSION-HOUSE.

Isabella 11..millan, s ypure person of respectable some
moo, was twilight hef -re Sir E. W. Carden, charged with
bsviris attempted to poidon brut If. h was ter second
emussinat-on.

Mr. lirowo, a bontmoker in Artillery.lane, on the first
day said—The clef,nd int, whom my wile and I considered
to be the mils of a man named Harvey, has been lodging in
my home about eight weeks with Harvey, and on the 13th
instant st• was leaked in her room, and we could not make
her hear by battering at the door. We at last forced our
way in, and we Mead her in a mate of insensibility. She
was taken to the hospital, where the stomach pump was
applied, and it was found that she had taken laudanum.
In answer to Sir R. W. Carden, the defendant said, re-
luetaatly, that she had been in the service of a respectable
family ow Tewer-hill, and that she/ had been seduced by
Herm, who prevailed upon her to leave her situation, end
live with him as his wife, upon Lis solemn promise to army
her ; that he had some days ago left the house, declaring
that he would abandon her altogether; and that beieg lett
penniless by him, she managed to get together the price of
e-me laudanum, which she swallowed to get rid of her
miseries and her existence at the same time.

Sir H. W. Carden—When did you see him last ?
The defeniant—Three days before the day I was so
wretched as to take the poison. He told me that he would
ma me again, sad that he would give me no means of
support, and I told him, as I often had before, that I did not
want him to support me, that I was able to support myself
by my industry, and that I was desirous to go into service,
but he prevented anything of the kind. I was without
food, and if it had not been for the humane landlord and his
wife I must have perished.
Sir R. W. Carden—l have sent for the rnan who has been
the cause of all this misery, and he admits that he has been
the culpable party.
Harvey here stood in the tritium-box, and bowed in ac-
knowledgment of the truth of the accusation.
Sir H. W. Carnets—l have sever had any ease so taro-
mow before me. If, Harvey, t►is poor creature had sue-
eetided in destroying herself, you would have been nothing
less thzu her murderer. You will leave this court with the
contempt of all those who autround you. The female whom
you have so fatally betrayed is much too good for you, and
will never communicate with you agair, I am rejoiced to say.

THE WAR IN ASIATIC TURKEY.

A supplement to the Incalide INJae of Aug. 11,
contains the following

NEWS FROM ASIATIC TURKEY.

Aide-de-camp 0 e 1 Dlouravieff announces at the data
of July 17, that on the 12th he transferred the main body
of the corps of operation to the village of Tilton, which is
diluted epos the left shore of the Kars Tani, sad that he
there jollied LtajorOeneral Bealanoirs ooleran.
The position of Tikaca in transporting oar chief forces
open the rear of the army of Anatol a, has given greater
'facilities for examining with detail from the western side,
I by successive recorenoiraness, the entrenched camp of Kan.
One of these reeorsaortances was made by Major General
Chodako, oa the 12th, and another, at the west of the for.
trees, up to the stream of Schakhmakh, which forms at the
north the limit of the entrenched camp of Kars, on the
13th, by Aide•de•Camp General Mouravieff in person.
Daring these reconnoisamers the enemy limited himself to
sending cut a few Baabi•Bssouks, who skirmished feebly
with our &drained lie

While these increments were being made, Llent.-Colonel
Priam Dondookoff•Korsakoff 'a flying detachment, which
bas pubed forward u far as the village of Termini', con-
tinued sending patrols on the other side of the Saganloag,
but without encountering any of the enemy's forces. On
July 11, the grivan detachment was near the village of
Karakliss, upon the Euphrates. AU is tranquil in this
canton. The Kurds continue to mute their submission, and
Vely Pasha fortifies himself in his old position.

ASPECT OF PARIS.

Cram ova own COIIISPONDINT.)
PARIS, SETIIRDAT AFTERNOON.
I have witnessed a great many fetes and triumphal
processions in this festival-loving capital, but never
did I see anything like the universal and resolute
determination to make a great day which is manifest
in all classes of the population on this happy occa-
rion. All the markets were closed at an early hour.
Many of the shops were that in the afternoon, not-
withstanding the chums of selling more than usual
resulting from the unprecedented influx of foreigners.
The concierges and their wives draw lots to decide
who shall keep house, and many a six-storied tene-
ment inhabited by steady people who habitually never
stir fifty yards from their outer door sill, is this day
left deserted all but by en old woman in the porter's
lodge, whose slumbers no visitor oomes to disturb.
From an early hour the Boulevards were as thickly
crowded with people curious to see the mere prepara-
tions for the Queen's reception as they are
at the very high noon of ordinary fetes.
A hot sun drove the multitude to the shady
side of the way—a happy circumstance for
those who, like myself, prefer the pure glowing heat
of the god of day to the foul steam of a densely-packed
mass of human beings. To walk in the sun was the
only way to get along at all to-day, for as to carriages
they could only crawl in their rank at something
much slower than a foot pees ; and now, as all this
week, you may look for an hour without finding one
empt.
They disposition of the population to do the greatest
honour possible to the great historical event of the day
is universal. I have not heard a single legitimist or
republican sneer in any quarter. The national pride
feels engaged that nothing shall be wanting to evince
feelings of national hospitality and national gallantry.
I heard a distinguished member of the Provisional
Government, who notoriously has not changed his
republican opinions, say this morning, in a tons of
winning good humour," We all twpt politics to give
a warm reception to the Queen of England." Many
well-known adversaries of the present order
of things in Franco have cheerfully subscribed their
60f. or 100 f. to pay for decorations on the Boulevards.
I this afternoon took a walk—l would much rather
have taken a ride, had the regulations allowed it—
slag the whole line which the Queen Is to parade
from the Strasbourg Railway station to the park gates
of St. Cloud, and will proceed to give you a hasty
sketch of what principally struck se along this route

The plaintiffs were the wigneee oii7Lid J. Potter, cot-
ton•pinnen, of Manchester, who became bankrupts in
1841. The defendeat, who wes also a oottoncpinner in
Manchester, bum* bankrupt in 1847, and the action was
brought to recover 601., the amount of an I 0 U, which he
gave_ under the following circumstances. One of the Meson.
Potter was patentee of a self-acting mule, which was well
known and ostensively used in cotton-spinning mills. The
defendant had several of these mules at.work in his factory,
and not having obtained a limas*, he was liable to an action
for infringing the patent. When he was made a bankrupt
his assignees continued the working of the mill, and they
also accordingly became liable for an infringement of the
patent. In consequence of this liability of the assignees,
and • claim having been made before for compensation for
this breach of the patent right, it was agreed on the offer at
the defendant to stay all proceedings on the payment of
601. by him. Mr. Bodes said that he then had not the
money, and his lOU we. taken on his promise that it
should be taken up in a few days. He failed in his pro-
mise, and the present action was accordingly brought.
After the case had proceeded for some time it was agreed
to take a verdict for the plaintiff for the amount claimed,
subject to a reference.

say second Interview I confided to him** name of the West
Heaney living. Re told me his fee was 6 per oent and a
preliminary fee of 21.2 a. 1 said 6 per cent. was monstrous ;
and as to the 21. 2s. fee, it would be time enough to pay that
when I put any business into his hands. On the 6th of
December I urged on the plaintiff net to proceed with the
matter, es all along it had been a untingency, which was
sow more remote then ever. On the 15th of Dal:ember he
sent me as agreement to sign. I declined to do so. I
never represented to the plaintiff that I was the patron of
the living ce that I had presented my brother to it. I
never said would send the particulars, or would give the
possession in tia moathe.
By the Court—l bad not entered into any negotiation for
the purchase of the advoweon before I went to the plaintiff.
This closed the ass for the defendant.
Lord Campbell, in leaving the cue to the Jury, said the
Int question was, whether there was sufficient evidence
to entitle the plaintiff to a verdict for 1601. This was a
question for the jury, but to him it appeared that the
weight of evidence as to the contract was in favour
of the defendant. In was clear that Mr. Lamb had em-
ployed M . Sim/moo and should give him fair remuneration
for his labour. Re kad no doubt that Mr. Lamb was a most
honourable gentian= but it appeared to him his conduct
had been most extraordinary in entering into a negotiation
with Mr. Simpson for the sale of the advoewon, though he
had not at the time communicated with the solicitor of the
patron for its purchase. TSey would say whether the de-
feadast's letter of the 29th of August did not amount to an
employment of the plaintiff to procure a purchaser for the
advoweon in question. The jury would determine what was
the fair sum for Mr. Simpson to receive under the circum-
stone's. •
The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—damages 501.
This was the last day of the sittings.

LORD JOHN RUSSELL.

fir. HATTER then moved for a new writ for the City
of London, in the room of Lord J. Russell, wise had ac-
cepted the office of Secretary for the Colonies.
Sir J. PAKINOTON said, that in consequence of theme.
Lion which bad just been made, he wished to avail himself
of the opportunity to pot a question to the noble lord. lie
found that Lord John Russell had accepted the office of
Secretary for the Colonies; and having done so, he (Sir J.
Pakiagton) wished to know whether the noble lord meant to
proceed on his mission to Vienna ? Should those questions
be answered in the affirmative, he wished further to ask the
noble lord whether there was at present any lJnder-Secte-
tary for the Colonial Department ; and also, in the event of
Lord J. Russell proceeding to Vienna, by whom the business
of the Colonial office was to be *enacted in his absence ?
Hs could say, from the limited experience he had had in
that Aloe, that serious inconvenience must result from the
absence of the head, as questions of importance were arising
every day. There were gentlemen in London this moment
from Victoria and New South Wales waiting to give the
benefit of their experience relative to the new constitution,
and, under all the circumstances, he trusted that the First
Lord of t►e Treasury would be able to promise the speedy
return of the noble lord the member for London.
Mr. ROEBUCK said that there was a gentleman in Lon-
don from Newfoundland who bad told his tale to three
colonial secretaries, and was now waiting to address a fourth.
As the object of his mission was the removal of the gover-
nor, it must be admitted to be of some co:onial importance.
Lord PALMERSTON —My noble friend Lord John
Russell has accepted the office of one of her Majesty's
secretaries of state, and the department he undertakes is
the colonial department. He proceeds, nevertheless, on his
mission to Vienna; and in the meanwhile my right bon
friend who lately held the office will undertake to be answer-
able that no public inconvenience shall ensue from the

absence of my noble friend. There is, u the right hon.
gentleman is aware, a permanent undersecretary, aa well
u the political under-secretary, who is not yet named, bat
will be in a short time. It is impossible for me to state the
precise time at which my noble friend will return, but I
have reason to suppose that 'whichever way the negotiations
tun, there will not be the protracted absence which the
right hot baronet apprehends.
Mr. HAYTER moved for a new writ for the borough of
Halifax, In the room of Sir C. Wood, who had accepted the
ova of Lint Lord of the Admiralty, and for the Radnor
Burghs, in the room of Sir G. Cornewall Lewis, appointed
Chancellor of the Exchequer; also for Forfar, in the room
of Lord Duncan, appointed a Lord of the Treasury.

THE WAR.

Bit E. B. LYTTON gave notice for that day fortnight to
present a petition from the West 2Cidiag, praying for en-
quiry into the muses of the mead calamities in the army.

HOSPITALS FOR THE WOUNDED.

CelonerailtCoUßTasked whether any of the offers
said to have been made to the government by the London
or other hospitals, to receive a certain number of the sick
and wounded who have °ems home from the Crimea, have
been accepted, or whether the government have themselves
provided the necessary accommodation, and whether they
have made, or in making, arrangements for the fit recep-
tion and treatment of those who may hereafter arrive from
that tauter t
Mr. F. PEEL said that if additional hospital accommoda-
tion should be required, the government would be happy to
avail themselves of the offer of the London hospitals. At
present, however, there was ample accommodation, there
being arrangements for the reception of 1,600 patients.
THE CLOTHING OF THE CRIMEAN ARMY.

Mr. NEWDEGATE inquired ;WulW clothing for the
troops in the Crimea suited for the spring and summer
months was being prepared, and whether the winter cloth-
ing bad been supplied generelly to our soldiers now on ser-
vice in that part of the world ?
Mr. F. PEEL replied that a second suit of clothes,
which, under the ordinary regulations would have been
furnished at' the commencement of the financial year, viz ,
in April next, had already been issued. Every soldier
now serving in the Crimea had received his second suit
during the current financial year. With regard to the
issue of the warm weather clothing, perhaps the hen. gen-
tleman would be satisfied with his (Mr. Peel's) assurance
'that every provision would henceforth be made by the
government for clothing the troops in a manner suited to
else mason. (Ileaj, bear.)
Col. KNOX—Who is now responsible for the clothing of
the army ?
Mr. PEEL—The government. (A laugh.)
Col. KNOX—But what department of the government ?
Mr. PEEL—The War.oEce. (Rear.)
THE IRISH BILLS. . .

Lord NAAS adj; q;;;;;;; ;.s. to t.he course in which
ehe various bills on the paper having reference to Ireland
would be brought on.
Lord PALMERSTON intimated, in reply, that it would
be more convenient if the noble lord would pat his question
when the Secretary for Ireland was in his place.
LAW OF PARTNERSHIP AMBNDMENT BILL.

I[s. YALINB wished to inguln whether it wu the n -
castles of the right hoa. gentleman opposite (Mr. Cardwell)
to premed in his Individual capacity with the bill which he
had, in hie capacity of President of the Board of Trade, in-
•rodneod for limiting liability and amending the law of part-
stabil?
Mr. CARDWELL would have communicated with the
Preedent of the Board of Trade to ascertain his intention
with regard le the bill, had =edge Use. hie .f the
intention to put the question. He bad no hesitation however
in toying that should the department of the government
with which he had recently been connected; dachas to pro-
ceed with the mensure, be would himself bring it forward.
