THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 8, 1855,

to you for the honour you have done me this evening.
(Loud cheers.)
"The Health of the Recorder of London" was next
drunk.
The Right Hon. J. STUART WORTLEY, in returning
thanks, having referred to some topics of local interest,
afterwards said—l will say one word on the present con-
dition of the country and its representatives. I congra•
tulate you again on this fact, that if there has been doubt
elsewhere—if there has been wavering elsewhere—there
have been no doubt and wavering here. (Loud cheers.)
I, as a Yorkshireman, am proud to see that, in spite of
the very great discouragements offered through the last
year, there has never been a disposition on your part to
shrink from the responsibilities of the great war, which
not the Government but the people of this country have
ent,red on. (Cheers.) I congratulate you especially on
the attitude which this town and its representatives
have presented to the country ; and I speak with per-
feet truth and heartiness in the presence of my honour.
able and learned friend. Though I differed as to the
particular course taken, still I believe we were all actu-
ated with a desire to vindicate the rights of our army,
and conduce to the victorious continuance of the war ;
and I never in my life admired him more, or observed in
him the manifestations of greater courage, than when I
saw the bravery and spirit of your member on this occa-
sion. (Loud cheers.) He and I have differed often. We
shall probably differ often again. (Cheers and laughter.)
We have been friends in labour, and I hope we shall
always be fiiends ; but we cannot always agree. I think
the strength and power of intellect and character your
representative has shown in his Parliamentary career '
fully justify the respect and confidence you have given
him. (Cheers.) I trust I may conclude by saying that
we must continue in the same course we have begun.
We have had triumphs—we have had trials. We may
have further triumphs—God grant that we may. But
we may have further trials. I would urge on the
people of this country to watch well their representa-
tives, and insist on them arming Government with
such moral power that the war can be waged in earnest.
(Cheers.) The feeling of the people is unmistakeable.
The people are nearly unanimous on this topic.
It is with great regret I observe there are some excep-
tions on this point. Some distinguished men whom I
venerate—some whom I have reason to love and be at-
tached to—are of a contrary opinion. But the character
and weight of these men only serve to show the force and
power of the torrent sweeping by them. The country
knows that this war is not got up merely to support a
party or for diplomatic purposes—it is to prevent a great
and- overweening power from obtaining the mastery
over Europe. The country will not be satisfied unless,
as the result of this war, a safe as well as an honourable
peace is obtained. Apologising for detaining you even at
the length I have done, I most deeplyand heartily thank
you for the kind attention you haveshown me. (Cheers.)
WILKINSON,H. Esq., proposed the health of William
Edward Smith, Esq., Mayor of Doncaster.
The Mayor of DONCASTER, in acknowledging the toast,
observed that he had often listened to that fervid elo-
quence of which the honourable Recorder of London was
the master, but he never listened to him with such de-
light and admiration as on that occasion, because both
he and the hon. gentleman who represented the borough,
Mr. Roebuck—though one represented one class of
opinions and the other another class of opinions—yet
both might be regarded as saying, " Although we differ
in the mode of carrying on the war, we agree exactly
in the thing to be done. We are one in spirit, and we
are one in mind." (Loud applause.) They all meant
the same thing, aro they could carry out the observa-
'lon of the Premier, Lord Palmerston, when he said,
" We will have war with victory, or we will have peace
with honour." (Renewed cheers.) Allusion had been
uade to the alliance between this country and France,
and allusion had been made to events which are passing
around them —events, however, which did not make
them tremble for the future, because they knew that—
The meteor flag of England
Shall yet terrific burn,
Till danger's troubled night depart,
And the star of peace return.
(Loud applause.) He believed they would all hail with
delight and acclamation the return of that star of peace,
and he might be permitted to say that when these days
were past he hoped, and they all hoped, that the alli-
ance between England and France would extend its
benefits long after the present generation had pas-ed
away, and when those who were now fighting our
battles would lie silent in the grave. (Cheers.) Me be-
lieved that England and France would stand united in
tho van of civilisation, and carry out those great prin-
ciples which would benefit mankind.

Several other toasts were given, and the company se-
parated.

ASCENT OF MONT BLANC.

The following has been addressed to a contempo-
rary :—Sir,—Though the public have lately had
many accounts of the ascent of Mont Blanc, I think
there have been none more original than the one I
have the honour to enclose, from a boy of 17, who
has just left Eton, and who has since, with a single
guide, made the ascent of Monte Rosa also most
sa.ccessfully.—l am, sir, your obdt. servt., D.W.C.
—Loudon, Sept. 7, 1855.

Chamounix, Aug. 18, 1855.

* * * Heard (a young American) and myself
arrived here on Monday evening, and took a long walk
on Tuesday morning, or rather on Tuesday, for
we were twelve hours on our feet. Our guides
j declared that such a walk had never been made
here before, which rather raised our estimation of
ourselves and our powers of walking. On Wednesday
we walked to a beautiful spot called the Jardine, in
the midst of the Glaciers, and surrounded by all the
highest peaks of the Alps. I had thought the way there
was difficult, and you may imagine I way rather asto-
nished at the arrival of a French lady with her husband
about an hour after us. She, as a matter of necessity,
was dressed in the same mariner as her husband, which
greatly facilitated her movements. We dined up at this
lovely spot, and very well too. Knives and forks were
scarce, and chickens were devoured much in the same
way as they are at Eton on election Saturday or 4th of
June. Neither, to make the simile complete, was cham-
pagne wanting, as the French lady and gentleman had
some, of which they gave tie a good share. Well, we
were rather more than 9,000 feet above the level of the
ees, and old Mont Blanc was only 6,000 feet above us,
a very little thing where the heights are so great, and
he looked smaller than he really was. The beauty
of the scenery, the champagne, &c , so exhilarated
my spirits that I told Heard that I was going to
start next day for the summit of the " monarch
of mountains ;" and as you had told me to keep my
eyes open and see everything whilst I was abroad, I
thouht I might as well see as much as I could at a
glance. Deeds soon followed my thoughts ; I told the
guides my intention ; and from that moment it was a
settled thing, and we returned immediately and took a
cold bath, in order to prepare us for the next day's
fatigues. Fortunately for us we had made the acquaint.
ante of a very Lice old man here, who, some yearn aeo,
was the best guide in the place, but has now retired.
This man, simply out of kindness, arid for no recompence
whatever, arranged everything fer us ; and when we left
Chamounix, on Thursday morning (16th inst.), it was
with the best-arranged party possible. This Kay soon
increased by the arriv.,l r f two volunteers, who had heard
of our good auspices. One of them, a sturdy butcl7er,
amused us all the way by his tricks and utter careless-
ness of danger. In the descent that fellow would slide
some hundred yards down a bank of snow, in defiance
of the shouts of the guides, and stop h;mself just
on the edge of a crevasse. A very different ob-
ject is he this morning. I saw him when he came
to get us to sign a certificate of his hating been up. He
had no veil or spectacles yesterday, things indispensable
even to the guides, and his face was most dreadfully
linrnt, and he could not see out of his eyes. Well, to
come back to the point ' • we arrived at the Grands
Mulets so much sooner than usual that no one was
looking out for us at Chamounix, and they did not give
us the customary salute. This was a good beginning, I
thought, at any rate. On Friday morning we started at
2.30 a.m., from the Grands Mulets, and after seven
hours' walking arrived at the summit of the highest
mountain in Europe, at 9.20 precisely—not without diffi-
culty, I can assure you. Two of our guides were unable
to reach the top, one being so blinded by the snow that
he was obliged to be hauled along by another, as it was
quite unsafe to leave him amongst the crevasses alone.
We two reached the summit, although ie for one, hardly
knew I was there; as when once one lost one's breath
up at that height it was a long time before we could
get it again. I was assisted slightly the last quarter

We were so early that nobody expected us, but
nevertheless we met several pepple on the way to meet
us ; and when we came into the town instead of the
usual number of guns they fired a salute of twelve, and
the. whole place turned out to have a look at the "little
boys " who had been up Mont Blanc.
The people who had been watching us withteleecopes
all day were astonished at the rapidity of our ascent,

JUDGES' CHAMBERS—SEPT. 7.
(Before MI. Justice Willes.)
THE QUEEN V. BEVAN.-NOVEL AND IMPORTANT
APPLICATION.

This was an application made by Mr. C. Valiancy
Lewis for a writ of habeas corpus to bring the defend-
ant, now in Holloway Gaol, before the Insolvent Debtors
Court, to be heard under the act. The circumstances of
the case were of a novel character. The defendant, it will
be remembered, was secretary of the Deposit and General
Life Association, and was indicted at the Central Crimi-
nal Court by the company for embezzlement, and being
eonvicted, was adju iged to 18 months' imprisonment,
with hard labour, in Holloway Gaol. Before his con-
viction he had filed his petition and schedule iu the Insol-
vent Debtors Court, under the Protection Act, and ob-
tained his interim order. When the day of hearing ar-
rived he was in pros n, under his sentence, and an appli-
cation was made to the Insolvent Debtors Court for an
order to bring him up for examination, which order
the chief commissioner granted. The governor of the
gaol, however, refused to obey the order of the learned
commissioner, as it was not a sufficient authority to him.
An application was then made to Mr. Baton ➢lartin at
chambers for a writ of habeas, that the defendant might
be brought up to be heard on the matters of his petition
and schedule, but that learned judge refused the appli-
cation on the ground that it was made by Mr. C. V.
Lewis on behalf of the insolvent, he being his attorney
in the matter of the insolvent, but gave permission fur
another application to be made on the part of a creditor.
The present application was, therefore, made, supported
by an affidavit and a statement of the facts of the case.
Mr. Lewis said he was a creditor on the schedule, and
applied that the defendant might attend the court on his
adjourned examination, which was appointed for the 13th
November.

Mr. Justice Wiles asked under what system of insol-
vency the case was to be heard ?

M. Lewis said it was under the Protection Act.
Mr. Justice Wines wished to know whether the court
had the same powers to examine witnesses under the
Protection Act as in the prison cases ?
Mr. Lewis answered affirmatively, and produced the
order of the Chief Commissioner of the court to the
governor of the Holloway Gaol, which he had refused
to obey, and the only remedy to get the case heard was
by a writ of habeas.
His Lordship observed that the rule was settled in
Mr. Cobbett's case that a defendant was not entitled to
a writ of habeas to be present, but that as a witness he
could *attend. In the present case he thought he had
power to order the defendant to be brought to the court,
but not merely for his own benefit, but to be examined
as a witness.

Mr. Lewis said Mr. Baron Martin declined to grant
the application he had made to him, as it was on be-
half of the insolvent, but suggested that a creditor had
a right to apply. He (Mr. Lewis) now applied in the
manner pointed out, and apprehended that as creditor
his lordship would grant the application, so that the case
might be heard in the Insolvent Debtors Court.
The learned judge expressed himself in favour of the
application that a writ of habeas might issue for the de-
fendant to attend the court and be examined ; but, be-
fore he granted it, he would consider the matter, and
give his opinion by simply granting or refusing the ap-
plication.

I admit that getting back to my work was not in my
mind at the moment.

Mr. Henry said further inquiry must be made about
the prisoner, and an effort must; he made to ascertain if
he had dropped any of the lace while running away.
The prisoner was accordingly remanded. .

WESTMINSTER.—The poor woman named Symonds
whose case has been recently published, again came be-
fore the magistrate.

She stated that having seen a letter from Mr. Kirby
of the War-office in the newspapers, she bad only consi-
dered it just to herself to come forward. She was much
hurt to find that he had contradicted her statement of
what had occurred at the interview she had with him,
and assured the magistrate that every word of it was
true. She particularly referred to that portion of the let-
ter in which Mr. Kirby denied that he hal made any a-
lusion to men who were unable t► obtain their wages in
the Crimea, because their accounts were not made up.
Men who had come from the Crimea had told her that
her husband had not received his money, and she now
held a letter in her hand, bearing date as late as the 17th
ult., in which that statement was con'irmed.

The letter was handed to the magistrate' who read a
portion of it, in which the husbabd Ntated that the` were
going to pay him up in 'a day or two, and he would send
her 51. out of the 61. 15s. they owed him. He added
that they had paid the others up, and he should have
had his at the same time if he had not been in the hos-
pital. He could not, after that, consider her husband
was the person to blame for her not having her money.
Caroline Bridgenzan, a woman about 30 years of age,
was charged with robbing James Herring.
The prosecutor set forth that from motives of pure
charity he was induced to take the prisoner in and give
her the shelter of his roof from the inclemency of the
weather. He wasa widower with sixcbildren, but the pri-
soner's representations of her distress had so enliSted his
sympathy that he allowed her to sleep with his chil-
dren. He shared his humble meal with her for three
weeks, at the end of which time she absconded, taking
with her all his shirts, two blankets, and other articles,
the pawnbrokers' tickets of which she subsequently sent
him in a letter.

Prisoner, in defence, alleged that prosecutor sought her
out and cohabited with her for the three weeks in question.
Mr. Arnold questioned prosecutor, who endeavoured
to shuffle out of a direct answer, but subsequently ad-
mitted the woman's statement to be correct.

Mr. Arnold said his conduct had been very disgraceful.
Prisoner was remanded till Tuesday.

LAMBETH.—Mr. Burgess, the vestry clerk, and
other officers of the parish of St. Mary, Newington,
waited on Mr. Elliott, in compliance' with a message
sent to the them on the preceding evening to attend and
give some explanation respecting the removal of a body
from their workhouse.

Mr. Burridge, an undertaker, said that on Tuesday
evening a Mr. Parrott, whom he had formerly known
as a surgeon, called on him and said he had procured
him a funeral at the Queen Anne public house. He fur-
ther said that Mr. Jennings, the landlord, would pay half
the expense, and that the remaining half was to be raised
by subscription. He then took him, Mr. Burridge, to
the Queen Anne, and introduced him to two females,
saying that lie was the undertaker ; and, from all that
had taken place, he was ordered to take the body from
the workhouse. On the following morning Parrott
called again, and said he wished to make an examination
of the body, stating that he had the consent of the rela-
tives ; and, not doubting his representation, he allowed
him to do so. He subsequently discovered that Parrott's
representation was not correct, and that he had no au-
thority from the wife or relatives of the deceased to in-
terfere in the matter.

Mr. Elliott thoug,ht it extraordinary that in the first
place the parish officer-, should allow a body to be re-
moved from the workhouse without some authority from
the relatives ; and,- in the next, he considered it in.-)st re-
prehensible on the part of the undertaker to permit any
person to meddle with the body without feeling satis-
fied that the party so interfering had the sanction of the
friends.

The parish officers said Mr. Burridge was in the habit
of being employed by poor people, and of takng bodies
out of the workhou4e, and they had, therefore, not the
slightest suspicion that anything was arong.
Mr. Way, who bad made the complaint on the day
hef a.e, said he had no particular fault to find with Mr.
Burridge, beyond that of hi 4 allowing such a person a 4
Parrott, who had hardly a shoe or stocking to his feet,
to interfere in such a manner.

Mr. Burridge replied that he bad known Parrott for
some years, and he was then a respectable practitioner
as a surgeon, but having for some time given way to
drink, his circumstances and appearance were much
altered.

Mr. Elliott inquired if Parrott was in attendance, and
being answered in th,, negative, he said that, in his opi-
nion, the cl.se was one which should be taken up an'i
prosecuted by the parish officers. He desired, therefor,,
that it should stand over for the present, and that. Par-
rott should be brought before him.

SOUTHWARK.—HcIem McCann, was brought be-
fore Mr. Combe, charged with being concerned with an-
other female, not in custody, in stealing a valuable gold
watch from the person of Mr. George Wm. Wightman,
an officer in the army, under the following very daring
circumstances

The prosecutor, a tall, fine-looking gentleman, stated
that between one and two o'clock he was passing the side
of the Victoria Theatre, in the Waterloo-road, towards
his hotel, when the prisoner and another came up to him,
and literally stopped him. He told them to go away,
when she snatched his watch, forcing it away from the
chain, and before he could prevent her, she passed it to
the other female, who decamped. He, however, caught
hold of the prisoner, but she got away, and rau some
distance, but she was eventually captured by a constable,
and taken into custody. Her companion, who bad the
watch, managed to make her escape.
Mr. Combe—Were you sober at the time ?
Prosecutor—Yes, sir, as sober as I am now, but the
robbery was committed so suddenly and impudently,
that I was taken unawares.

Mr. Combe— Do you think you could identify the
other female if she was apprehended ?
Prosecutor—Oh, yes sir. I have seen her this morn-
ing near the police-court, and when I was looking for
the constable, she made off as fast as she could.
Police-constable 130 ET, corroborated the evidence of
the prosecutor.

Mr. C mnbe--What do you know of the prisoner ?
Comitable—l know her to be a notorious thief, cot
nected with a desperate gang of si reet thieves.

Mr. Combe—l. shall -remand her fur a week to give
you au opportunity of finding the other fe:nale and the
watch.

DONCASTER, Friday Afternoon.—The town of Don-
caster never wore a more quiet appearance than it does at
the present time, and except far the arrival of sundry touts
and such-like fraternity, little suspicion would be excited
of the throng which is shortly to follow. Nevertheless
there are cogent reasons for anticipating a busy week.
More boxes and stalls are engaged than usual, whilst the
number of lodgings already let exceeds that at a corres-
ponding period of last year. Visitors, notwithstanding,
need not be under any fearas to finding accommodation,
for the provision is greater than can possibly be required,
and hence any attempt they may experience at " war
prices" may be stoutly resisted. The running ground is
in splendid order and the general arrangements are ample
and satisfactory. The
,west end of the Grand Stand has
been re-arranged, and appropriated to the exclusive use
of the stewards and their friends, admission to which will
be obtained by a new flight of stone steps. This ace In-
modation was rendered necessary by the removal of the
old Stewards' Stand a few years ago. The police will
have the assistance of Forrester, of the .Mansion House,
and a number of provincial detectives. Few of the horses
engaged are expected to arrive until to-morrow and Sun-
day, and Scott's leviathan team will as usual appear on
Monday.
.

The. Electric Telegraph Company have erected a new
office adjoining the Nobleman's Stand, and, under the
superintendence of Mr. Ede ard., will tranquit messages
to any part. The foll,,winv, trainers have engaged
stabling for the number of horses as follows

AT THE TURF TAVERN:—Saunders 3, Mr. Merry, 3,
Goater 3, J. Day' jun., 4 ; J. atw,on 3, Hayboe
(Baron Rothschild) 2, Goodwin 2, C. Peck 3, Gill 5,

BETTING AT MANCHESTER—Fnmmr.

To-day the attendance at the Pest-office Hotel was
good; and a fair amount of business was done ; indeed
there was a general disposition to speculate, and that
gloomy and monotonous state of things which has pre-
vailed for some time took a change for the better. We
observed pre-ient all the leading members, in this locality,
of the ring, and one or two of very old standing, who do
not every day put in an appearance. Their presence,
however, seemed to infuse new life in the betting. The
near approach of the Great Northern event. namely, the
Doncaster St. Leger, which this year certainty looks
like an open race, and the evenness of the claims upoo
public patronage of the three first favourites, no doubt
has much to do with the cause of this commotion—in
fact, that was the chief event touched upon. Rifleman,
at the commencement of business, was backed to 501. at
3to 1, and subsequently to near 2001. at sto 2. OA-
stun would have been backed at 4 to 1, hut no one seemed
disposed to lay more than 10 to 3 agst him. There was
a little novelty displayed in connection with Lord of
the Isles' position in the market. After 5t01,11 to 2,
Rod 6 to 1 being offered, he was backed at the last-men-
tioned to about 501., afterwards 13 to 2 and 7 to 1 were
simultaneously offered against him ; and, singular as it
may appear, although the parties offering were both
accommodated, the offer of 13 to 2 was taken in prefe-
rence to the 7to 1. Midsummer, for the Great York-
shire Handicap, advanced from 7 to 1 to 4 to 1 taken,
and Vandal receded to 7to 1 offered. Scythian far the
Cesarewitch Stakes was backed at 100 to 8 to win near
1,0001., and Neville to win near the same amount, at
100 to 6. Nothing else was backed for this event in
our hearing. The odds at the close were as follow :

TOTNES ELECTION.—Capt. Boller, the son of Sir J. Y.
Buller, is in the field as a candidati-i, oss Conservat've
principles, but has not yet canvassed the borough. Mr.
Richard Steele, who dates front Pall-mall East, Las
issued an address, in which he says his principles are
those of progressive reform ; but be is claimed as a Ivo-
derate Conservative, and but little is known of him. It
is proliable that Mr. Blount, brither-in-law of the pre-
sent Duke of Somerset, will again come forward cn the
Liberal interest. When he cont,sted the borough in
1839, he was returned along with Mr. Baldwin, but was
unseated on petition.
