QUEEN V. FULLER.

This was an appeal against the rating of certain pre-
mises, situate at Chichester, in Sussex, used' partly as a
militia store and partly as the official residence of the
Adjutant of the regiment. The case turned on the con-
struction of the 2d section of the recent Militia Act ;
The appellant contending the whole of the premises was
exempt from rating, and the respondents only such part
as contained the stores. The premises in question were
rather extensive, comprising, besides a dwelling house, a
coach-house, and stabling for five horses, which latter
were used by a veterinary surgeon, and not by the ad-
jutant, and it was the stabling as well as the dwelling-
house the respondent contended should be rated.
The Court, after hearing arguments from the learned
counsel on both sides, said that part of the rate relative
to the dwelling-house occupied by the adjutant and his
family, and in which the stores were deposited, must
be quashed.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER.
The Lord Chief Baron, and Barons Alderson, Platt,
and Martin were on the Bench to-day, but up to the
time our report was despatched, nothing of the slightest
general interest transpired.

GREAT GLOBE, LEICESTER SQUARE.—The many thou-
sands who have visited Mr. Wylde's admirable model of
Sebastopol will be glad to learn that the spirited pro-
prietor will open, on Monday next, a new room, in
which will be placed a model of Crenstadt and the sur-
rounding shores of the Gulf of Finland, and also a large
model of the Baltic Sea and the surrounding countries,
together with a variety of arms and trophies taAken from
the Russians, illustrated by lectures upon the seat of
war. A great treat is in store for them.
TOPOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES OF THE GROUND BEFORE
SEBASTOPOL.—The committee of the Royal Artillery
Institution have published the second part of these
sketches, by Major Biddulph, that officer having pre-
sented them to the institution. The part contains, ex-
clusive of lithographed views of the Mamelon, the
Malakhoff Tower, and the Redan, with the connecting
works, accompanied by an explanatory description ap-
plicable to both parts.
A trial is about to take place in the Court of Com-
mon Pleas, at the sittings after the present term, in
London, wherein the concocters of certain of the gold
companies are likely to undergo a public exposure, and
it is believed that one or two of them will probably cut
rather a sorry figure ; and it is hoped, for the furtherance
of the ends of justice, all sufferers by recent mining
speculations will make it their business to attend.
EXTENSIVE FIRE AT SPITALFIELDS. Yesterday
morning, shortly before four o'clock, a fire broke out in
the extensive premises of Mr. Alfred Smith, brush-
manufacturer, Wentworth-street, Spitalfields. The
building, which covered a large extent of ground, was
with its valuable contents entirely destroyed. The
damage, which is estimated at some thousands of pounds
is partially covered by insurances in the Atlas office.
The origin of the fire is unknown.
