NAM&B MUM)
LETTER FROM DR. REM
MASSOPTAH. JAL 18.

We arrived here on Monday last. Letters
from the Abyssinian natives have ban received,
dated Sept. 28. They were then as Amba Wagda
all well. It is said that since then they have
been taken by the Emperor with him into
Godiam, and that be will shortly be In Mgrs.
The least date from Mr. Romani is November 8, when
he was at Hares* the capital of the Egyptian province of
Taka, whence he was about to proesed westward to
Mamma.

---
Take bas recently been the scene of a frightful tragedy.
About 6 mouths ago the negro troops there, about 4,000 in
number, revolted, in consequence of their pay being greatly
in armor, and also, it is said, of the interline of the
Egyptian government to mend a portion of them to Mexico,
to replace those sent there some time aro in the French
service. For two mouths Taks was in a mate of
warfare, and order was only restored by the
arrival of troops from libertine, and also from Egypt
via Enakam. The orders from the east of government
were that the mutineers should be decimated ; but in the
result at least Moe-tenths were either nommared or sold
into slavery.

The Governor of Tate and the other principal officers
concerned in this tragedy have all died since, so that an
investigation into its details would now be truffles.

II NOP AND NAM 111011A11411 WAILIIIOIIB2 mean
(1.111/221:1), !SPAWN rattoos.
This cm came on for argument before his lordamp
Thursday laat when judgment wu reserved.
application was made by Mr. Briggs, a bow,
of Sight shares in the company, to have his name exam;
from the register of shareholders, on the pound that ke
." inducted to bike his shares on the faith of the pre.
sputa', which differed from the articles of associstica et
the company.
Mr. Southgate, Q.C., end Mr. Brooksbank appeared sek
support of the application, end cootended that the ow&
piny oonstituted by the memorandum and weasel"
essentially different from that mentioned in the Whin
sad eabssoing objects of a far more speculative eliarewey
sod that Mr. Briggs having applied for share, at the feielk
of the prospectus, was not boned to take shares in a sees
/cur having different objects.

- Mr. Selwyn, Q. 0., and Mr. Boxburgh for the Compaq
argued that the memorandums and articles of associatices
having been registered before the prom pectus wu head,
which latter contained a clear statement that the &Ades
might be sees at the temporary offices of the essoyery,
persona applying for sharp on that prospectus were as reasi
bound by the articles as if they had been incorpcestsd
therein, and that 11 was the daty of applicants, beim so,
plying for shares, if they required to do so, to go and slobs
articles, if not they were as mach bound as if they Wows
and read them. But in this case Mr. Briggs had, sdhe
the shares ware at a premium of 21. 15a pm
share, eontreated to sell his through a heck;
at that premium, and be admitted on his asss•sxatifsy
tion that he bad seen the ►rticles before he instructed ►h
broker to sell. The Stock Exchange having refused a eat.
Wag day the centred which Mr. Briggs had sudsier
the sale of his shares could not be eosephyd.
and then it was that Mr. Briggs first eompbisel
and required the company to take back his shares. Ihr
further contended that t►ere was no miarepreseotttienta
the prospectus, which clearly stated the main objseks la
which the company was framed.

His lordship now gave judgment, and referred te tbe
prospectus and to that part which mentioned the artidwel
sasociatioc, and also to the mem-random of aime.a.iesout
said that the objeate stated is the letter were arteinly
more extensive then those mentioned in the prospect% tst
Certainly the inclination of his mind was to hold that
person applyieg for shares in • company are e
prospectus coot sitiog such • dampest as Sy
in the prospectus now before Wm, would is
boned by the articles. In this caw, however, it waif
ascessasy to decide that question, for on the arcsaiali
nation of Mr. Briggs it appeared clearly, althoegh then
else day was not named, that he had seen the •rosy
before he had intrusted his broker to sell the doessi a
premium of 21. We. per share, and his lordshiptlionglit egm
the evidenas that it was the refusal of the Stook Woe
to dx • settling day that opened his eves to its is.
furious effects of the articles and induosd him to replay
his shares, sad it was clear that it wan this and sot
contents of the articles that induced him to request lb
shares to be taken back. The application, therefore, sty
be re used with costs.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.
Attar Marta Nisi Prins 'Mina at Wastairstar.—(Bias
the Lord Obis' Jodie. cad Special Jariat.)
GOBS V WALPOLL
_ _ _

The plaintiff oondosted his case in pinion ; the Solidi.
General and Mr. Mennen were counsel for the &dewiest j
The further bearing of this ease was resomei
morning.
The Solicitor-General mid he and his burned friend, lb, el
Massase, had considered the matter since yesterday, si
they had decided it would be bettor to give aflame b
show that the plaintiff was insane when he was remoras j
Bedlam. _
_ _

The Lord Chief Justice mid he had coneidsrableiseid
if Yr. Walpole bad done more than his duty imposed m
him by act of perliament. He should be disposed to ruse
nominal damages if the jury should rotary a verdict folk 4
Plaintiff ; and under the circumstances he should gm
either party leave to move whichever way the veM
might be.
The plaintiff wished to give further evidence ails
treatment in Bedlam, and certain complaint' ha ki
make against the governor of the Queen's Priem.
The Lord Chief Justice said the action was not forks%
but for discharging him from Bedlam end remandic ,
back to the Queen's prisoc.
Thevriotiff in his crose-emmination by the &Mike
Gimes said—Very few persons could have ism
Dr. akeham's insulting gest nee without Mikis
bim. Dr. Griffith', of St. Thomas's Hospital, my
me when I was in the Queen's Priam. He did
not use insulting gestures to me. The insults I
complained of were patting their fingers is their muffs
' and thrusting their hose against mine. I did not robbi
of it being dons by men sad women *bee in chuff. I
complained of Dr. Hood doing the same thing whom !walk
Bedlam. He excused hk eondset by saying be bad
tooth-ache. I think be did it in imitation of what I hed
complained. I maid not have bees mistaken about whiff
was done. I call them filthy and indecent gesture'. I did
not souse Dr. Helps of the same thing, but I should
sot be wrong if I were to say so. It was also Meshy me
of the inmates, in my wife and daughter's preemies
being further pressed, plaintiff said Dr. Helps did nos
the minute.) 'When Mr. Doled"' same tow in the
Prison, and informed me the governor could sot isterksh
I was very much annoyed and initeted, and I thzl
if I could not get redress from the Secretary of Stet
would shoot the man who dared to insult me. The imatesia
the Queen's prison, with whom I would not gamble Mil
Brisk, annoyed me beirattling the iron buckets at WO
lied hooting my name day. One of the prisoners semi
the gestures sad call me a vagabond. I consider the
gestures beastly sessions, but I have not described the.
m an Jade:gest offence. It was the malice el the
governor of the prises, or seats other person, who MI
eonoooted this infamous conspiracy against me. I mods
so complaint of persona doing it in chapel. I arse mix
that a young lady had followed me for improper purest
Dr. Hood said so before the Lunacy Commissions.' in mkt
to awry oat the eonspsrwl against me. The verdict spied
me in the Court of Common Pleas was gives amidst a easy
pieta uproar. Ido not know if the jury stepped Cosa
after hearing Dr. Hood's evidence.
Plaintiff—Am I to proceed, my lord, with my !Mom
relative to my treatment in Bedlam, and my mug
there ?
The Lord Chief Justice—We have nothing to de All
that, but only with Mr. Walpole's taking you of Bedlam
and sending you back to the Queen's prison. You mil
have a cause of complaint against some pelmet for the
treatment you complain of, bat as Mr. Walpole bed medal
Ito do with it more than I had, he could not be made rir
sponsible for it.
The plaintiff—Bet as Secretary of State he is responsible
for the rules and regulations of the place.
The Lord Chief Justice—Not all as you suppose.
Kn. Gore wee then called, and deposed to the eon
eemplelned of by the plaintiff that wu pursued tows*
him its the Quseo's Prison. Her husband was Mel and had
always modulated himself as a sane man ; she believed*
Mr. Limier, in the Queen's Prison, was the muse of her bee
band being seat to theatre's( room previously to his remand
to Bedlam ; she did not hear her husband say en/flegff
about churches or chapels. He told Mr. Colville that IL
Wakeham was being used as a eat's paw by the itemlor•
Knives and resole were "roved him when in the Mall
room. Then was no turnkey or watcher is the roost ell
she heard bet hosbasd explain to Mr. Wakeham that he
had no intention to shoot any one, and it was daffodil
and unmanly emidniff his keeping ber hutbsed io the 'keg
teem, and that be ought to be ashamed of it. She took a
testimonial, signed by seven inmates of the prison, "armed
to the medical officers of Bedlam.
The Solicitor-Gess& objected to its contents being made
knows.
The Lord Ohio. Jostles mid it was not sed
again reminded the plaintiff that all the rullsesvkor evict
could net be set aside in his use.
Wilma' proceeded—She signed a memorial to Mr.
.War''_..
pole, praying for her bnabeed's rernwal from Bedlam. 10.
nothing was dose in it by that gentleman.
The witness was being examined at considerable keg*.
awl in the most irrelevant manner by her husband, till
Lord Chief Justice (with much patience) continues!
pointing out to him that what be proposed giving k
demos could not be received is this case. at it bad no °°"sis.
whatever on the issues. The plaintiff. however, persists ••
his course, sad times is every probability of the atesliedisi
until tomorrow night.
