CULTIESDamack, cowkeeper and
Ouformerly
dairyman in the Fulham-road, was charged with being
drunk and annoying his master.
Complainant said that in the middle of the day yesterday
the defendant insisted upon having his wages and being
discharged, when complainant paid him up to the time, the
amount being lle Bd, and permitted him to go about his
business. In the evening he returned drunk and demanded
twopence mcre ; he made a disturbance in the shop, and
then went into the yard, and, by loud talking, collected a
crowd of persons round the premises, to whom, among other
things, he said that neither the business nor the cows be-
longed to complainant. In order to get rid of the annoy-
ance, his daughter gave the defendant the 2d for which he
had asked ; but he came in again and repeated his annoy-
ance ; however, when he saw the police coming, he took
himself off with two men wao had accompanied him. Com-
plainant called the constable, and gave him into custody.
Mr. Arnold—What for ?
Complainant—For creating a disturbance at my house.
Mr. Arnold—He could aot be taken into custody for
that. You could have put aim out of your house or called
the constable to assist you in doing it, and then, if he made
a disturbance, the constable could have taken him upon his
own authority.
Complainant—lfe was drunk, and he behaved very dis-
gracefully at my house.
Mr. Arnold—l can't eee hew he can be given into custody
for what he did. .

Complainant—He made a great noise at my house.
Mr. Arnold—He is chazed on the sheet with being
drunk and annoying you, and he should not have been
taken into custody for what he did there. (To the police-
constable)—Did you take tha defendant on your own charge,
or on the complainant's ?
Pollce-constable—On the complainant's charge.
Mr. Arnold—Then he is zot properly before me. He is
discharged.
Acting Inspector—He wasdrunk and making a disturb-
ance in the public street.
Mr. Arnold—Then he BliDuld have been so charged.
The complaint before me was for being at Mr. Damack's
house and annoying him. The constable says that he did
not take him on his own authority for disturbing the public
peace, which he might have dons.

this purpose. Would it not be worth the while of
the British Government to have an eye to the doings
of these gentlemen ? If they had gone to Ireland to
procure gifts of unmistakable potbeer for the
patriotic, if they desire bog-oak ornaments and
arbutus work from Killarney, worsted-work from
Dundalk or linen from Belfast, well and good; but
if whisky and bog-oak, arbutus and linen, are but
thin disguises for recruits of the Federal army—as
many Irish in this city believe, and as, perhaps,
some people high in office in 'Washington have
reason to know—the least that the British Govern-
ment can do is to watch the proceedings of the
emissaries who have the matter in hend. It was an-
nounced on Friday that one of them, named Henry
O'Clarence M'Carthy, was to leave this city by the
Etna on Saturday, and as the gentleman's name
appeared duly in the list of passengers yesterday, it
may be presumed that the information is correct, so
far as his departure is concerned.

THE LONDON RESTAURANT COMPANY
(Limited).

Capital £50,000, in 10,000 Shares of £5 each.

This Company is formed for the purpose of establishing
large Dining Halls and Luncheon Rooms, in which will be
offered Dinners and Refreshments of a first-class character,
at charges adapted to the means of the various sections of the
commercial public. That which Mr. Lang has effected in
Glasgow and M. Duval in Paris, with such marked success,
the Directors seek to accomplish in London, feeling per-
suaded, as the " Times" remarks, that, " No speculation can
be safer than that based on supplying the want of a good meal
at the lowest price."
Although the London Restaurant Company will offer ac-
commodation of a kind that has not hitherto been attempted,
yet from the markets in which it proposes to buy, and the
various sources of revenue that will be opened up, it is felt
that this undertaken; presents elements of success far greater
than any of the joint-stock hotel companies, although some
of these have realised very large dividends.
Prospectuses and Forms of Applications for Shares may be
obtained from W. E. Duncan, Esq , solicitor, 80, Basinp;hall-
street ; agd of the Secretary, at the Offices of the Company,
3, Finsbuiy-pavement.

AN APPEAL to the SHAKSPERE COM-
MITTEE for the ROYAL DRAMATIC COLLEGE.—
Patronised by her Most Gracious MAJESTY and his Royal
Highness the Prince of WALES.—The noblemen and gen-
tlemen forming the various Shakspere Committees are ear-
nestly prayed to ccns der the appropriateness of devoting a
portion of the funds collecting for the Tercentenary Celebra-
tion of the great Poet to the above Institution, founded for
"the poor player who struts and frets his hour upon the
stage, and then is heard no more," and the education of their
children. What nobler monument could be erected to the
memory of Shakspere, himself a player, than the buildingr,
and endowing the two schools of this College in his name,
and enabling a few worn-out actors to pass in comfort to
their last home who have contributed to your pleasure and
amusement? Shakspere writes :—" Good my lord, will you
see the players well bestowed! Do you hear, let them be
well used; for they are abstract and brief chronicles of the
time." B. WEBSTER, Master.

JONES V. COLE.

This was a summons under the Small Debts Act.
Mr. Read appeared for the plaintiff.
His Honour said he must repeat what he had said or
a previous occasion, that in these cases counsel ought not
to be engaged, enhancing the expenses of poor suitors, wherA
all the Court had to do was to examine the debtor as to his
means of paying, and make such order as it might think fit.
Mr. Reed said that it had been the practice in the Insol-
vent Court to have counsel in such cases.
His Honour said that in that court attorneys could nO
be heard.

Mr. Reed—They could in some matters ; but counsel
had the right of audience.
His Honour repeated that he did not think counsel should
be instructed in these cases, and proceeded to examine the
defendant, who offered £1 a month, which plaintiff refusal
to accept, requiring £5.
His Honour made an order at £2 per month.

WEST YORKSHIRE.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held yes-
terday at gradford ; Mr. William Firth in the chair.
The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report,
an abstract of which has appeared in The Sun, said that
great difficulty and inconvenience had arisen in consequence
of their not being able to obtain a return of accounts from
the Great Northern Company. They had instructed their
solicitors to file a bill in chancery against that company to
compel a fulfilment of the agreement. The contractors had
undertaken.to construct the Batley and the Methley
branches by the Ist of July next. The opening of these
branches would be of great importance to the traffic of the
company. The district of their railway had been prosper-
ous, and their traffic had been large, and, while maintaining
their dividend of 7 per cent,, the directors had carried a
large surplus to the reserve fund.
Mr. J. CooKE seconded the motion for the adoption of
the report, and it was carried unanimously.
A dividend at the rate of 7 per cent. per annum upon the
original stock, and per cent. upon the Ossett stock, was
then declared, payable on and after the 23d inst.
The retiring directors were re-elected, and resolutions
were passed authorising the directors to apply to Parlia•
meat for powers to make working arrangements with other
companies, and also to maks a short line at Wortley.

Mr. Laurence said that this was a judgment:summong;

was an appeal pending before the Lord Chancellor, in an
tr wn,il,l be decided in a few days.
It was therefore proposed that the present case should
be adjourned till Monday week to see how far the dacisioq

MID-WALES.

The report of the directors states that the line between
the junction with the Llanidloes and Newton Railway and
Rhayader is completed, and the remainder of the main line
to the junction with the Brecc,n and Merthyr Railway at
Talyllyn is so far advanced that the directors anticipate the
opening of the whole line to the public in the month of May.
An agreement had been entered into by this company, under
the powers of the general Acts of Parliament, with the
Llanidloes and Newtown, the Oswestry and Newtown, and
the Oswestry, Ellesmere, and Whitchurch Railway Cora-
panics, by which a mutual interchange of running powers
has been conceded ; thus a continuous through route is esta-
blished between Merthyr on the one hand and Oswestry and
Whitchurch on the other. To this extent, therefore, the
original scheme contemplated by Parliament of a through
route between Merthyr and the districts around that place
and the north is effected. Mr. B. Piercy, the engineer,
states that great credit is due to the contractors, Messrs.
Watson and Co., for the vigour with which they are pushing
forward the works, and the satisfactory manner in which
they are executing them. The capital account shows that
£790,309 had been expended to Dec. 31st last.

IMPERIAL PARLT A VENT

HOUSE OF LORDS— Last Evening,

The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at
five o'clock
BENEFICES AUGMENTATION BILL.

The LORD CHANCELLOR laid on the table certain
papers relative to the working of this act, which was passed
last year to enable the Lord Chancellor to dispose of cer-
tain benefices, the proceeds of which would go to augment
others. Up to the present time 37 benefices had been disposed
of, and 53 more were under negotiation. The purchase
money received for those already sold amounted to £65,300.
The actual amount of money already received and paid into
the bank amounted to £37,850, the remainder being
represented by land, &c. The most sanguine ex-
pectations were expressed at the passing of the act,
which he felt would be realised. In order to give some
idea of the sums the livings had realised, he would mention
one, worth £261 per annum, which realised £5,000; another
of £197, of which the incumbent was very old, brought
£3,500 ; and another of £214, the incumbent of which was
58, brought £3,000. Ho was wrong in stating that none of
£l5O per annum had been disposed of, for he found that one
of that amount had been sold and had realized the sum of
£550. Proposals of purchase were coming in every day,
and there was good ground for thinking that the act would
prove of the greatest public utility.
In reply to the Earl of DERBY,
The LORD CHANCELLOR said only one living
coming under the 23d section of the act had been disposed
of. There are, however, treaties in progress for the sale of
three or four more. . _

ON CHLORATE OF POTASSA AND ITS USE IN OXYDISING

PR. S. P. SARGEANT, NI.R.C.S., and L.S.A.
(1836', will shortly repeat his Lecture on this subject
at St. James's Hall, Piccadilly, and will satisfactorily prove
that Chlorate of Potassa, (as prepared by passing. chlorine
through a mixture of quick-lime and water, and subsequently
boiling a long time with Chloride of Potassium) is a most
active remedy for oxydising tha blood, and restoring vitality
to the low, vitiated state of the nervous system, and is there-
fore calculated to super cede the use of iron, mercury, quinine,
and sarsaparilla. 56, Gower-street, Bedford-square, London.

HOUSE OF LORDS— Last Evpning,

The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at
five o'clock

BENEFICES AUGMENTATION BILL.

The LORD CHANCELLOR laid on the table certain
papers relative to the working of this act, which was passed
last year to enable the Lord Chancellor to dispose of cer-
tain benefices, the proceeds of which would go to augment
others. Up to the present time 37 benefices had been disposed
of, and 53 more were under negotiation. The purchase
money received for those already sold amounted to £65,300.
The actual amount of money already received and paid into
the bank amounted to £37,850, the remainder being
represented by land, &c. The meat sanguine ex-
pectations were expressed at the passing of the act,
which he felt would be realised. In order to give some
idea of the sums the livings had realised, he would mention
one, worth £261 per annum, which realised £5,000; another
of £197, of which the incumbent was very old, brought
£3,500 ; and another of £214, the incumbent of which was
58, brought £3,000. He was wrong in stating that none of
£l5O per annum had been disposed of, for he found that one
of that amount had been sold and had realized the sum of
£550. Proposals of purchase were coming in every day,
and there was good ground for thinking that the act would
prove of the greatest public utility.
In reply to the Earl of DERBY,
The LORD CHANCELLOR said only one living
coming kinder the 23d section of the act had been disposed
of. There are, however, treaties in progress for the sale of
three or four more.

THE ARMY.

In the notioe of the services of the late Major-General
J. Portlock, R.E., as given in The Sun of yesterday, there
were omissions respecting two important duties which he
performed. In early life he was for many years on active
military service in Canada, and on coming home in 1824 he
was attached to the Ordnance Trigonometrical Survey, and
was chief assistant of the director, Col. (afterwards Gen.)
Colby. In the execution of that survey, particularly in
Ireland, he made through a series of years such strenuous
and successful exertions, that his assooiate, Major-General
Larcom, K C. 8., now Under Secretary for Ireland, has said
of him that "no man, perhaps, ever in his own person per-
formed so great an amount of labour, both of observation
and calculation."

MID-WALES.

The report of the directors states that the lino between
the junction with the Llanidloes and Newton Railway and
Rhayader is completed, and the remainder of the main line
to the junction with the Breccn and Merthyr Railway at
Talyllyn is so far advanced that the directors anticipate the
opening of the whole line to the public in the month of May.
An agreement had been entered into by this company, under
the powers of the general Acts of Parliament, with the
Llanidloes and Newtown, the Oswestry and Newtown, and
the Oswestry, Ellesmere, and Whitchurch Railway Com-
panies, by which a mutual interchange of running powers
has been conceded ; thus a continucus through route is esta-
blished between Merthy r on the one hand and Oswestry and
Whitchurch on the other. To this extent, therefore, the
original scheme contemplated by Parliament of a through
route between Merthyr and the districts around that place
and the north is effected. Mr. B. Piercy, the engineer,
states that great credit is due to the contractors, Messrs.
Watson and Co., for the vigour with which they are pushing
forward the works, and the satisfactory manner in which
they ere executing them. The capital account shows that
£790,309 had been expended to Dec. 31st last.

HARWICH CORPORATION BILL.

Mr. CRAWFORD opposed the second reading of this
bill, which, he said, would impose a burden of £40,000 upon
the inhabitants of Harwich, the majority of whom were op-
posed to the scheme in which the municipal corporation
wished to embark them. The hon. member concluded by
moving that the bill be read a second time that day six
months.

After a few words from Mr. MASSEY, who expressed
an opinion that the bill was for proper and laudable objects
the merits of which could only be decided by a committee,
the house divided. The numbers were—
For the second reading l4l
Against it 6B
Majority
The bill was then read a second time.

On the London, Brighton, and Kemp Town Station; the
London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway (Ouse 'Valley
Line) ; and the London, Brighton, and South Coast Rail-
way (Tunbridge Wells and Eastbourne Line), being ordered
for second reading,

Sir J. SHELLEY said he should withdraw the opposi-
tion of which he had given notice to the second reading of
those bills. They were proposed for the purpose of doing
exactly what the line would have done which the house had
just rejected (the Beckenham, Lewes, and Brighton Rail-
way), By doing so he should test the bona aides of the
company as to their intention of making those lines. If they
did not do so, he should at a future time come forward with
a proposal for an incl2pendent line.
The bills were then read a second time.
