Biewit.k, of 2)1, Warwick-square, occupying
three rooms, having internal oommunication, but each
with a separate outer door, claimed as • householder.
Mr. Harper opposed, ou the ground that the internal
comintinuatien could nut atuke the rooms a Louse while
there was a separate entrance to each room. •lie quoted
cases in support of this argument, but was overruled by
The Revising Banister, who said it art- evident that the
claimant could diipenee with two of the . •sr door% and
that he bad the mole occupation of the three rooms.
The claim was allowed.
Mr. Vedder White's claim, in respect of his occupation
of a house at Christ Church Hospital, was opposed by Mr.
Ledger on the ground that these was no qualification.
A witness produced by Mr. Harper stated that although
Mr. White resided in Bt. Bartholomew's 'invited, of

In the parish of Bt. Andrew, Holborn, a lodger claim
was objected to by the conservatives, on the grunted that
" Holloway" was not a sufficient description of the land-
lord's residence.
Mr. Sithic)Sruith contended that so far ts• the landlord's
description was comcei nee' the act of pailiameut did not
require the minute particularity which was observed with
regard to the claimant's qualification. In support of this
view he quoted a decision of Chief J wilco Govklitarn, and

THE POLICE COURTS.

OUrLDHALL.

Ethanol Newry filsiehde, who lived at 12, George-
street, Illsakfriare-road, was placed at the bar before
Alderman Dakin, having been apprehended on a warrant
charging him with having easulted and threatened to
stab one Frederick Howe.
Mr. Wontner appeared for the complainant, and 'detest
that the prisoner had been denied at his house when the
summon. was sent, and had been served personally with
it by an officer who knew him. Ile had refused to attend
to that summons, and was consequently apprehented on a
warrant. The oomplainant and the prisoner had been
parietal.* in betting transactions, but on the 7th of this
math they dissolved partnerehip. On the 17th they met
in Fleet-street, when the prisoner demanded money from
Ilowe, which he refused to give him, upon he
struck him in the chest, kicked him on die thigh, and,
drawing a knife out of his pocket, threatened to take hie
l.fe. Ile (Mr. Wontner) thought it was neceenary to re-
strain a man of such a violent temper by banding him
over to keep the peace.
Frederick Howe was then called. amt hilly bore out
Mr. Wontiler'e statement. Ile addel that after the
pummel= hail been served on the priroster he met him at
the Albion public-house, in Bucklerabury, when he said,
6` You bleeder, I have received • summons this morning
from you," and struck him on the jaw as hard as ho
could.
In reply to the premier witness said that when they
tiled he owed the prisoner 35., but the prisoner cud nit
ask him for it when they met in Fleet-Ntreet.
The prisoner said the fact was that two of a trade
could never agile ; the complainant was • welsher, and
he (prisoner) was a welsher, and they quarrelled be-
cause complainant owed him 30. and would not pay it.
Alderman Makin btu d him Is. and costs fur the assault,
or in default seven days' unprieonruent with hard labour.
He further bound him over to keep the pesos for six

CONSISIVATEM WILL MOPZFUL.

The Mesh! confesses that numbers are, as yet at least,
greatly againt the conservative party, and admits that it
would be pewit* to deny a fact which figures demoastrate.
But a majority of professed opposes& on one partieular
question in the House of Commons does not neomsarily
imply ministerial defeat. The present government hare
held office for over two years, and carried important reas-
sures in the teeth of • wsll.sse•essined one of over 70
against them. And whether the followers of Mr. Glad-
stone muster 70 or 120 over those of Mr. Disraeli at the
clan of the proroguing elections, is not after all a matter
of such grave importance as it might at first sight appear
to be.

A HISTORICAL RECTIFICATION.

Everybody knows the pretty antithesis in the
speech delivered, but, as it now appears, never com-
posed, by Prince Louis Napoleon when he was brought
before the Court of Peers for the ettentat of the
6th of August, 1840—" I represent before you a principle
a cause, and a defeat. The principle is," dc. ; "the
cams "the defeat is that of Waterloo." It
would now seem that the prince was wholly innocent of
entertaining any feelings of vengeance against England
on account of that "defeat."
Mr. C. L. Gruneisen, who tells us that be has been
honoured with the friendship of the late M. Berryer for
'• " •

upwards of 30 years, relate; the circumstances which led
up to that celebrated passage in the slfornialt Post as fol-
lows :—" The prince wrote down a sketch of what he
wished to say to the Court of Peers, giving it to his
counsel to alter and amend as he thought expo.
pedient. M. Berryer, who was in daily communica-
tion with the English friend referred to, being struck
with the rather inflated style of the proposed address,
quite natural under the perilous position of the prisoner.
read over the draft to the Englishman with the obser-
vation, You English, who have so much common sense,
can suggest what is ultra and maggeratel.' Sagged-
tires were mutually made on the reading until N.
Berryer came to a passage, ' I represent before you a prin-
ciple and a cause—the first the sovereignty of the
people, and the second that of the Empire.' On
besting this sentence the Englishman smiled.
What are you laughing at said N. Berryer.
Well,' was the reply, ' I think there is one other thing
the prince reprises's.' ' What is that r rejoined the
advocate. ' A defeat,' was the sassier. ' What do you
mean P ' Waterloo,' quietly remarked the Englishman.
C'est le mot. end le mot '.' celled out N. Berryer, and
pea in hand ho altered the passage as it was de-
livered to the court, and it stood thus .—' I represent
before you a principle, a cause, and a defeat. The prin-
ciple is the sovereignty of the people ; the cause is that of
the empire ; the defeat is that of Waterloo. The prin-
ciple—you ham recognised it; the oesuse—you have served
it ; the defeat—you wadi revenge it.' "
Now that N. Berger is dead, Mr. Gruneison puts for-
ward his claim ea the originator of the " defeat " clause.
He was often tempted to make the truth known before,
but he abstained whilst N. Berryer was alive. Now that
he is goose be oases forward with his air Ha nom rah,.

LARTIMIYAKIII:9 AND THEIR EITXCTS.

It in impossible, lays the Daily News, to realise the
value and even the necessity to our civilisation of confi-
dence in the regularity of 'mature and faith in the stability
of the solid world. That living "from hand to mouth "
which is the characteristic of nomadic races is the 'soot
fatal barrier to their progress. Men who ate aminstemed
to associate instability with the vary ground itself became
lees careful of any stable institutions, and less swims
for certainty. Life under such circumstances is
apt to partake of the adventurous spirit of the
(enabler rather than of the solid, phlegmatic,
plodding character which is developed in the low lands.
There is necessarily less looking forward to the future and
more dwelling in the present, in people exposed to such
uncertainties. It is one of the maximal fasts respecting
the influence of earthquakes that habit does nothing to
diminish the terror they create. No science can predict
the shock, no foresight can ward it off, no skill or patience
can provide against it. When it comas a whole popula-
tion are helpless before it ; and the sense of that helpless-
ness is never lost. Hence arises a tendency, which an
volcanic countries share, towards the most abject forms
of superstition.

NBMARICABLB SUICIDE BY AX ARCH-

DBdr.or'F

The Ke"tieli Gazette give' the particulars of an in-
quiet, held before Yr. Carttar, at Erith, on the body of
Aubrey Charles Smith, aged 18, the only son of the Rey.
Archdeacon Smith, the respected vicar of Erith. It ap-
peared that deceased was rather an excitable young man,
and that on the day of the West Kent elec-
tion .he took particular interest in the contest
and frequently called at the fly station during
the morning to Inquire how it prooseded. Soon after-
wards he returned home and was asked by hie mother a
few questions respecting a sese•elmani cigar holder which
he exhibited, and-which he esti bad bass given bins as a
by hie aunt. This statism* egrets to have bean
as that lady bad visited the beam just before and
it during his abloom Demand bemuse excited
sad Wired to fetch a letter from his bedroom to
Foie his assertion. Soon after he left the report of
a pistol was heard, and on being searched for he was found
lying on his bed weltering in his blood which oozed from
a finest wound in his head. • pistol was found lying by
his side. Dr. Churton, of Pier-med, Beath, was imme-
diately called in and pronounced the wound fatal. The
deosased died about an hour afterwards. A written
paper was found on his person expressing a hope that he
would be forgiven. It appears that he was mach given
to imoking, and his father had often asked hiatto give up
the habit. No particular motive could be prat
atufor
the suicide, and the jury returned a verdict that
committed suicide while in a St of temporary inmaity.

A wad accident bus just occurred at Aix-la-
t hapoue. Two priests of Version, M. Thommee and Y.
Rodeo, were crossing from one side of the station to the
other, when the drat-named slipped on one of the rails
and feU. His companion stooped to assist him but
stumbled also, and before the latter could get up a truck
which was being shunted by an engine pawed ever his
body, cutting him coin Oin two. Hie death was of
mums instantaneous. Thetely omism was able to rise and
jump out of the way without being hurt.

(Before Mr. Justice Byles.)
John !tory Norris, 23, polisher, was indicted for hav-
ing, at Birmingham, on the 14th of July, feloniously
wounded Vellum Morris, with intent to do him some
grievous bodily harm.
Mr. Kerr prosecuted, and the prisoner was undefended.
The prosecutor and the prisoner are brothers, and on
the night of the day is question were drinking together
at a public-house at Sibley, near Birmingham.
there a dispute arose between the brothers, and the pro-
secutor was taken towards home by his wife. The prisoner,
however. followed his brother, and going up to him in the
road stabbed him several times in the groin. He had been
previonsl7 heard to say, the same evening, that be would
do for his brother. The prosecutor was so severely in-
jured that be was an in-patient of the General Hospital
for several weeks. _

The prisoner, in hie defence, called witnesses to prove
that some years ago he wee an inmate of the Birmingham
Lunatic Asylum
His Lordship sentenced the prisoner to ten years penal
servitude, and remarked that be never knew a worse cane
of the use of the knife. If inch persons as the prisoner
were not severely this country would soon be re-
duced to a date of barbarism.

THE MARQUIS OF nrrE.

Ilcmarkable instances of long minorities, observes the
rot, are common enough, but that of the Marquis of
Bute is peculiar, from the fact of hie father dying when
he was but six months old, leaving an income, oven then
very great, to roll up into the colossal fortune now at his•
disposal. " What will he do with it !" is • momentous
question for one of his age and station to have to resolve.
He will be beset by temptations and coenselled, it may
be, by enemies in the garb of friends. In a word, he will
have to decide whether he will become a brilliant non.
entity or an animating moving power in the country.

VIE INTERNATIONAL 00NORI8IS AT BRT3dEL3.

The Daily Neva congratulates the working men that
their congreas at Brussels has declined to assume a hostile
attitude toward the introduction of machinery into the
various departments of labour, but has recommended that
working men shall everywhere endeavour to secure for
themselves a fair share of the increased profits arising
from the use of such machinery. There is no principle
that can oppose any new application of machinery what-
ever which would not equally abolish all, and logically
remit mankind to the conditions of savage life. A new
machine releases capital which instinctively seeks to re-
invent itself to advantage, and experience has shown that
machinery has invariably multiplied employments. and
wherever it is planted tends again to produce machinery,
80 passing on to new investments, involving a multiplica-
tion of means and methods, each of which becomes a fresh
centre calling about it new labourers. A machine, more-
over, releases the labourer no less than capital. Where it
has not gone we still see diseased and Ignorant labourers,
the victims of oppressors, while • steady growth in
education, wealth, and influence has unfailingly marked
those countries where invention has been meet active, and
where science has been most widely introduced into all
del artmeuts of work.

shirking, skulking, propensities 41 the human
criminal will be reared up in its stead. It is im-
possible, aooording to the Darwinian theory, that
this permanent muzzling can be without its elect
upon our breed of dogs. They will be brought
up to regard the false noses of steel and iron whist
the most humane muzzles resemble, as natural
appendages, like tails; and strops and buckles
outside the mouth will seem part of tho
order of things, like tongue and teeth
within it. A policeman will become an
object of instinctive antipathy, and the
familiar "Fat ! good dog. Pet. then !" will, de-
note the presence or approach of the funotionary
in the oilskin cape just as it does that of a rat or
cat now. The finer bleeds will be warranted by
the dealers to noes one of Sir RICHARD Ilerira's
men whether in uniform or out of it ; and from
the 'hound of the sportsman to the toy-dog of
the drawing-room we shall trace a new
type of creature, owing its development to
Scotland-yard. We venture to think those conse-
quences have not been sufficiently weighed. When
the police regulation concerning muzzles was
issued first it was laughed at ass crotchet of the
aged First Commissioner, and some physiologists
went so far as to condemn the alleged connexion
between the dog days and hydrophobia at an
exploded superstition. But whatever may have
been the real usefulness of a general muzzling in
the hot weather it is clear that the time for it is
past. The invalid, living next door to the police-
station, who complained of the ill-conditioned
hewlings of the dogs confined there;
the drover who found his faithful servant and
companion had been taken away while he in-
dulged in a dose ; and the Irishman taken
into custody for shaking a policeman's arms until
his black retriever got away, have all more or loss
of reason on their side. Sir RICHARD MAYNE
himself would be puzzled to define the good
likely to arrive from this oontinned enforcement of
a harsh law, and in the interest of dumb animals
we trust to soon hear that dogs are permitted to
go in a state of nature without punishment from
Scotland-yard.

TIM LAM ?W CH zirenotr.

The Times thinks very little can bo built on the
government success in the rejection of M. Dufaure, for the
administration can make pretty sure of the triumph of
their candidate in almost any given locality. In a general
election the government would lose the advantage of its
artificial compactness. It is in the Emperor's refusal to
brook an honest legal opposition that the great and only
danger for his dynasty consists. Had the election of the
Var had the same result as that of the Jura, it was u-
sorted, the Emperor had no other resource left than in a
declaration of war. That is tantamount to saying that,
like the Eastern Monarch, he would have hidden his dr.
feat and death in the destruction and conflagration of his
royal palace. A war such as the Emperor of the French
could now engage in would only be likely to ruin France
without saving her Sovereign.
