. ' tzsoLT suety' r.

--------
Mr. H. Hill end Mr. Jones appeared tor the plaintiff;
and Mr. Bramwell, Mr. Lush, and Mr. Willem for the de-
fendants.
1 his woe an action brought by • medical gentleman
against the c1ef...12 .l. mi. as truster. ot the Metropolitan Om
nabob S..rvanrs• Privider3 Society to recover 731. fur services
alleged to have been performed a. the medical officer of the
society The defendants pleaded a denial of the debt, aad
that the society had never bees established in accordance
with the Friendly Sicisties Act. It appeared that the aff.in
of the society were managed by a central committee and
by various district committees. l'bo plaintiff applied to the
central committee to ho appointed to the Camden-town die-
trict, offering to attend members of the society at the rate
of Is. a quarter for each. On the 29th of October, 1851, •
resolution was passed by one of the district committees ap-
pointing the plaintiff to the Paddington and Camden-tows
district, and the appointment was confirmed by the central
committee. The plaintiff acted as medical officer from Christ-
mas ISi2 to the end of the March quieter in 19•i3.
The miterial facts relied upon by the plaintiff having
been proved by t's plaintiff, and:Mr. Scully, the managing
collector of the utiety,who,bad been the chief instrument in
his appointment,
Mr. Bramwell submitted that there was no cue tog* to
the jury, iaumueb as by the rules of the society, too central
coalmine* had no power to appoint such a medic .1 officer
as Mr. Parkes represented himself to be, and if they had
such a power, there was no evidence of their having
erened It.

Mr. Justice Erle reserved leave to more on the first
point, and oa the second ruled there was evidence to go to
the jury.
The defence was that Mr. Parkes had been appointed by
the district committee, acting as the committee of the Sick
and Curial Fund, a distinct and 'operate wiciety which had
been started by Mr. Scully as a branch of the Provident So-
ciety, and that his appointment had not been confirmed by
the central committee. Mr. Willing and the two other
trustees, the defendants, proved that they had heard no-
thing of the plaintiff's claim until April, IM3, although
the society had eeassil to s zist since Jane, 1852. Several
members of the centrsl committee having been called, who
all stated distinctly that the committee had not ratified the
appointment of the plaintiff.
The Puy said they had no doubt that the committee had
net ratified the appointment.
Mr. Justice Erie said that seemed to be the only question
in the case.
. . . .

Mr. H. Hill said he would not straggle against the
opinion of the court.
Verdict for the defendants.

MONTENEGRO.

Now that Austria has delivered Prince Daniel'
from the fear and preeenes of Omer Pasha' that
potentate is leisurely avenging himself on those of
his countrymen who have borne his yoke impatiently.
The Vienna Lloyd states that Stephan Dzicini, his
two sons, and four other inhabitants of Berda, have
been shot near the monastery of Ostroz for " high
treason." A number of other Montenegrins, better
affected to Turkey than to the Vladika, and whose
existence the Austrian papers mention now for the
first time, are detained in prison, on charges of
treason.

ILLNESS OF MADAME VESTRIS.

Last evening, during the performance of A Strange
y (which, by the way, has been curtailed somewhat,
and proportionably improved), Madame Vestris showed
some signs of ill health, and went through her part with
obvious difficulty. The piece proceeded, however, up to
the last act, which had scarcely commenced, when Mr.
ltosby :addressed the audience, and claimed their indul-
gence for Madame Vestris, who found herself wholly inade-
quate to complete her task. The part of Christine being
the ail-important part in the piece, there was no alternative
but to drop the curtain. Upon inquiry we learned that
the indisposition of this lady manifested itself yesterday,
and that It was exceedin4ly doubtful in the morning
whether a change of performance would not be necessary.

COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS.

MARK-LAKE.-THIS DAY.

There was scarcely any English Wheat fresh up for this
morning's market, and the offers from the coast were not
numerous. The supplies of foreign are liberal, but consist
almost exclusively of Black Sea and Mediterranean qualities.
The attendance of buyers was small, and the business
transacted limited to retail sales at former prices.
Barley was in very short supply, and its value was well
supported.
The receipts of Oats have been to a fair extent, and the
dealers successfully resisted any advance.
Beans and Peas were unchanged in value or demand.

that he lrul received a letter from Mr. T. Baker, agent fur

return fur the borough of Athlone, that it was not their in-
tention to proceed with that petition.

iiiWit;:ii:

Mr. BANILES cemesived that what his right hon.
friend (Mr. Walpole) meant was, a protest against agree-
meat to this =twin babe drawn into a president in regard
to all motions of the sum kind. (Hear, hear.) He also
gait* agreed with hie right hon. friend in respect to the no-
cessity_of having fuU notice of the names of the commission-
er.. The home must consider that they were delegating
enormous powers, and they should be well satisfied of the
reliability of the gentlemen to whom they entrusted such
functions.

Lord J. RUSSELL hoped the right hon. gentleman
would not persist : but if he did, his right hon. friend would
no doubt give way.
Mr. WALPOLE, under the circumstances, would not
press his suggestion; but he reserved the right to make
future objections.
The motion was then agreed to.
THE NORWICH PETITION.
Mr. DUNCOMBE postponed for a week the notice to
call the attention of the house to the report of the select
committee in the ease of the withdrawal of the Norwich
election petitions.

DOCKYARD PROMOTIONS. AND THE LATE

BOARD OF ADMIRALTY.
Sir B. HALL gave notice that en this day fortnight he
should call the attention of the house to the Parliamentary
Papers, numbers 271 and 272, presented this session, re-
lating to dockyard promotions and appointments, and if
necessary that he would found • motion upon them; the
precise terms of which he would state on Thursday neat.
Mr. STAFFORD would make an appeal to the noble
lord the member fur the City of London and
the house, and although he might be irregular
in doing so, he would perhaps meet with the
indulgence of the house when he requested the noble lord
to give every , facility to the hon. baronet, the member
for Nlarylehone, to enable him to bring forward the im-
portant motion of which he had given notice. He (Mr.
Stafford) might be permitted to oLserve, that this was no
common CM., as it affected not only the members of the
Board of Admiralty under the late government who had re-
, tireu from Mike, but those who were members of the board
under the present government. He hoped the honourable
baronet would give his notice of motion on an early da_y,
and when ho had given it that he would adhere to it. He
trusted that he should not appeal in vain to the noble lord
when he asked, that in consequence of the uncertainty which
might otherwise attend the bringing forward of this im-
portant gastion, the noble lord would so far consider what
was duo both to the late and the present Beard of Admi-
ralty as to give the hon. baronet every facility for bringing
forward his motion. (Ilear, hear.)

LAW OF E SETTLE MEET.
Mr. A. WISE gave notice that on Monday, the 18th
inst., he should set Lord J. Russell whether it is the inten-
tion of her Majesty's government to introduce, either in
this or the next session of parliament, any measures to
abolish or revise the laws relating to the settlement and re-
moval of the poor, or to alter the present mode of raising
the rate., for the relief of the pour, by distributing the
charge over a wider and less variable basis, or otherwise ;
secondly, if her Majesty's government are not prepared to
propose early legislation on these subjects, whether Lord J.
Russell will assent to the appointment of a committee to in-
quire into the practical operation of the laws fur the relief
of the poor in England and Wales, and to consider the
policy and general effect of all the laws relating to settle-
ment, removal, and parochial assessment

LONDON THIEVES IN SOUTHAMPTON.

For some months past, robberies have been com-
mitted at the Southampton Railway terminus, and the
South Western Railway Company have had to pay a con-
siderable sum of money for parcels which have been lost
there. Strong suspicions have been entertained that a pipe
of wine was tampered with at the terminus, that a portion
of the wine was taken from it and water substituted. In
consequence of these robberies a London detective has for
some time past been stationed at the terminus. A night or
two since, three of the night porters belonging to the
goods department, were detected engaged in abstracting the
contents of a barrel of beer, and were apprehended and
lodged in gaol. One of these men has been in
the railway company's service twelve years. For
some time past also, a gang of thieves have been
noticed passing between Southampton, Portsmouth,
and Salisbury. A short time since two of them came
to the parcel-office at the Southampton terminus for a
parcel, and it was noticed by an official there that each
seemed averse to sign his name to a book as an acknowledg-
recut of the receipt of the parcel. The latter was directed
to a disreputable public-house, in an obscure neighbour-
hood in the town. On Monday one of these men camo
again bathe terminus with a parcel for London. A railway
policeman, who was standing by, remarked that he was one
of the gang of prigs about. Mr. Colebrook, the official
above alluded to, recollected that he was one who had been
averse to sign his name. The London detective was called
in, and he pronounced the parcel to be directed to a London
Fence, or • place for the receipt of stolen goods. The
cover of the parcel was of washed leather, such as jewellers
use. It was very soon ascertained by the police, who set to
work directly, that it contained about 101. worth
of new silk handkerchiefs, and that most of the
contents had been recently stolen from different shops
in Southampton. Lee, an active town police officer,
was then made acquainted with these facts.
Mr. Colebrook went in aisguise to the above-mentioned
public house, and there he saw a number of fellows, some
playing cards, and others eating and drinking. None of
' them were, however, the parties be wanted. Lee soon
afterwards entered the public-house, and in a room by
himself he saw a man who he knew from the description
was one of those who received the parcel from London, and
very shortly afterwards he apprehended his confederate,
the man who brought the stolen handkerchiefs to the termi-
nus. This fellow appeared to be thunderstruck by his ap.
prehension, pretended he was a commercial man, and that
ho hardly knew where the railway terminus was. On
being confronted with Colebrook, however, he soon altered
his tone, and betrayed his guilt. Both the railway and,
town police have acted very dexterously iu the matter.

HEALTH OF LONDON.

The official report Bays—Last week the deaths
from all causes registered in London amounted to 1,748.
An increase so formidable on the already high mortality of
previous weeks arises in part from the same Causes that have
lately prevailed with unusual force, and is also due, to
some aztent, to the lain: into the register books otters on
which coroners had held inquests, and which have been
permitted to accumulate during the quarter. The signa-
ture of that officer is necessary to complete the registration
of deaths returned by him.
In the clarification of deaths coroners' cases fall
principally
under the following heads: " poison,"
bums and scalds," " hanging and suffocation,"
"'drowning," " fractures," " wounds," and " sudden
deaths ; " -and the increase, as regards their registration,
occurring about the same periods, they do not ma-
terially interfere with the comparison of deaths in
corresponding weeks. In the tea ecieresponding weeks
of the years 1843-62 the average amber of deaths was
1,027, which, with a correction for increase of population,
gives a mortality for lass week of 1,130; or the corrected
average for the previous weal (the last of the quarter) may
be taken, which was 1,282. Hesse it appears that the
deaths registered last week armed the estimated amount by
more than 460, a result, the greater part of which must be
referred to causes, of meteorological or other character,
affecting the health of the population.
Last week the births of 1,006 boys and 904 girls, in all
1,909 children, were registered in London. In the eight
corresponding weeks of the years 1846.62 the average num.
her was 1,411.
At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height
of the barometer in the week was 22-713 in. ; on Monday
the mean daily reading was above 30 in. The mean tem-
perature of the week was 43.4 deg., which is near the ave.
rage of the same week in 38 years. The Man daily tem-
perature was below the average on the first three days, and
above it during the rest of the week. The mean dew-point
temperature was 32.8 deg. The wind, which had been in
the north in the early part of the week, blew from the
south-west in the last four days.

WINDSOR ELECTION.

Mr. COBDEN moved that the minutes of evidence and
proceedings taken before the committee on the Windsor
election petition be printed.
Agreed

TUB DOCKYARD PROMOTIONS.

Ms. DISRAELI thought that It would facilitate the dis-
cussion on the motion, of which notice bad been given by
the hon. baronet the member for Marylebone, if the noble
lord (J. Russell) would consent to fix it to come on on Mon-
day the first thing.
Lied J. RUSSELL said it was certainly desirable that
the motion should not be postponed for a long time. Still
the government had only two days in next week, for which
important business wasfixed, and if they were given up the
whole of the public business might be delayed. Perhaps the
house would agree that ea Thursday se'nnight the motion
should have precedence over other motions.
Sir B. HALL said he should bo prepared on Thursday
ss'nuight.
Mr. TUFNELL referred to the recent orders respecting
dockyard promotions issued by the present Board of Admi-
ralty, and asked whether tke public service would have any
guarantee that these orders would be enforced beyond the
existence of the present government ? Could a succeeding
Board of Admiralty revoke those orders, and revert to the
old system? (Hear, hear.)
Sir J. GRAHAM thought it would be best, after the no.
tics given by Sir B. Hall, to confine his answer to this ques-
tion strictly to the fact. It had been the endeavour of the
present Board of Admiralty to obtain the best security,
short of an act of parliament, which could be obtained
for giving a permanent and lasting sanction to the new
arrangements. An act of parliament would no doubt appear
the best security for performance, but it was questionable
whether any act could be so framed as to meet adequately
an affair of detail of this description. The next security
was an order in council ; and for the first time these regu-
lations affecting the dockyards had been imposed by an
order in council passed by her Majesty ; and henceforth
there could be no departure from the strict terms if those
orders, except by an appeal to her Majesty in council.
(Cheers.)

by the unfavourable position of affairs in the East,
with a tendency towards still further improvement.

and in Northerns of 201. The final quotations
were :—Northerns, 900 f.; Paris and Orleans, 1,083 E;

SWITZERLAND. •

Diplomatic relations hare been re-established be-
twien Austria and Switzerland. M. de Duni de-
clares that it was never hie intention to break them
nit but that M. de Karnieki was only tor the mo-
ment recalled to Vienna.

The 3tir Luria' Ga:tite, in reporting the order
given to the cantons to hold their military contin-
gents in readiness, states that the Federal Council
has resolved to lay before the cantons a full state-
ment of the cage between Switzerland and the Con-
federation. Tlio council has ordered the military
department to make extraordinary inspections, but
has not thought that the moment is come for esta-
blishing piquet.. A contemporary has stated that
the contingents have been " called out ;" but this, it
will be seen, is a misapprehension. Accounts which
reach us concurrently from Berlin and Berne attest
the couviction of the well-informed and sagacious
that war will not be waged. Still the earnestness of
the occasion is felt. In the note accompanying the order
the president of the Confederation says to the cantons:
" We arc confident that, animated with truly federal
sentiments, and appreciating the serious position of
affairs, you will support, as is your duty, the mea-
sures which, in its solicitude, the federal government
has thought proper to take to defend the integrity of
our beloved country. We seize at the same time
this opportunity of recommending you, faithful and
dear confederates, with ourselves, to Divine protec-
tion."

Accounts from South Germany assure us that the
alleged intention of Baden and Wurtemberg to imi-
tate the Ticino blockade, is unfounded. It is not,
however, so certain that Prussia will not take ad-
vantage of the strained relations of Switzerland to
push her claims upon Neufchatel.

Accounts from Bellinzona state that the canton of
Ticino feels very severely the prerure of the
blockade and of the unemployed population
thrown back upon it by the expulsion of
February. Both the federal and cantonal govern-
ments have come in aid of the sufferers, but
charity ill compensates the bereavement of perma-
nent and independent means. Notwithstanding
this local depression, the confederation is animated
with the best .possible spirit. A letter of General
Dufour to the committee of the Military Society of
Switzerland has just been published, in which the
General says he feels that at this moment more than
ever the time has come for them to unite and close
up their ranks, to look without fear at the tempest
which lowers over their frontier, and which from
one moment to another may burst upon them. An
arm in a sling will not prevent him from participa-
ting with their dangers and fatigues when the ques-
tion at issue is to maintain intact the honour of
Switzerland, and insure victory to the holy cause of
Swiss liberty.
