EXCHEQUER —( I DAY.)
(Sittings at Nisi Prins at Westminster, before the CHIEF
BARON and a Common Jury.)
CHUBB V. ALDERMAN SALOMONS. ?LP.
This was an action of debt, to obtain 1,5001. from the de-
fendant, the amount of penalties alleged to haVe been for-
feited by him by illegally voting three times in the House of
Commons, without having taken the oath of abjuration in
the form prescribed by the statute.
The trial came on yesterday, but was not concluded, the
Court rising on the conclusion of the plaintiff's case.
This morning Mr. WILLIS addressed the jury on the part
of the defendant, and contended that no legal proof had been
given of the defendant having voted in the House of Com-
mons in violation of the statute on which the action was
founded. This statute had been passed avowedly for the
purpose of applying to Rbman Catholics so as to make the
oath of supremacy binding on their conscience; and it was
for that reason that the words "on the true faith
of a Christian" had been introduced. That it was
never intended to apply to Jews was quite apparent, and he
thought it was an oversight or inadvertence on the part of
the Legislature that no exemption was made in the statute
in favour of the Jews. Under these circumstances he called
on the jury to give a verdict for the defendant.
The CHIEF BARON said if the jury should be of opinion
that the defendant had acted as alleged, they could only
give a verdict for one of the penalties, inasmuch as it had
been over and over again decided in othei cases, that with
regard to the House of Lords only one penalty could be re-
covered, notwithstanding the person proceeded against had
voted on several occasions on the same evening. The pro-
ceedings of the House of Commons with reference to divi-
sions appeared to be very vague and irregular, and he did
not see there was a single particle of evidence to prove that
Mr. Alderman Salomons had given a vote at all. That was,
however, a question for the decision of the jury.
The jury were about to retire, to consider their verdict,
when
Mr. JAMES tendered a bill of exceptions on behalf of the plaintiff.
The jury, after a brief conversation, then returned a ver-
dict for the defendant.

CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.)
OLD COURT.
(Befre th RECORDER.)
FORGIERY.--- Charles o
Na she who had been convicted in a
former session of forging a transfer for railway shares, was
this morning brought up for judgment.
The RECORDER, passed the sentence of the Court, and re-
marked that as the prisoner had been confined since February,
and he must necessarily suffer a good deal of injury from the
charge in his position of a solicitor, the ends of justice would
be fully secured by the prisoner's undergoing a further im-
prisonment in Newgate for six days.
The prisoner was then removed from the dock.

• NE W COURT,
The New Court was occupied the whole of the morning
trying Mint cases, none of which presented any features of
public interest.

NIARLBRO'-STREEr-(THIS DAY.)
BREAKING INTO A GAMING-HOLISM—JO/In Ford, John
Hone, Harcourt Aillsie, Robert John Morris, Thomas
Roberts, Alexander Linton, James Towt send, Robert Cooper,
Henry Elwes, Henry Johnson, George Keene, Haynes Wil-
son, Charles Hamilton, Thomas Petre, Henry King, and
Charles Lawden, were brought before Mr. Bingham, charged
with being found in a common gaming-house, 119, Jermyn-
street, St. James's.
Mr. Clarkson, with Mi. Huddlestone, appeared for the
defendants.
Mr. Otway, Superintendent of the C division, said—l
produce the authority which I received from the Commis-
sioners of Police,
and, acting upon that authority, this
morning, about two o'clock, I went to No. 119, Jernayn-
street, known as a gaming-house, accompanied by In-
spectors Black and Lester. On arriving at the house I
found the street-door closed, and en ringing the bell the door
was opened by the defendant Ford. I then proceeded along
the passage, and found a door covered with green baize,
with a small aperture in the centre. I knocked at the
door, and a person looked through this aperture, from whom
I demanded admittance, at the same time telling him I was
a superintendent of police. Directly I had said
this, it appeared to me from the sound that the bolts of
the door ware being more securely fastened. I then di-
rected the constables to force the door, and on gaining an
entrance proceeded upstairs to the first-floor, where I found
the whole of the defendants with the exception of Ford, who
had previously been taken into custody. Some of them
were partaking of refreshments, others were at a side table,
and the remainder were in the billiard-room at play. I
told them they must consider themselves in custody, and
commenced taking their names and searching them, and
various sums of money, amounting to near 6001.,
was found upon them. I afterwards searched
the premises, but did not find any implement of gaming
whatever. After completing the search, I found a person in
the room who said he was a sheriff's officer, and who pro-
duced a warrant for the apprehension of Keene. I arranged
by paying him. 501. out of the money found upon him,
whereby Keene was liberated from custody.
Other evidence was gone into, but nothing was adduced to
convict the defendants, who 'were at once discharged.

TER LORD•LIEUTENANT'S PROGRESS

IN IRELAND.
AQUATIC EXCURSION TO QUEENSTOWN.
CORK, FRIDAY EVENING.—This day the executive cora-,
mittee of the Exhibition provided a delightful entertainment
' for their noble guests, the Earl and Countess of Eglintone
together with a distinguished party, amongst whom we no"
ticed the Marquis of Thomond, the Earl of Bandon and
' family, Lord and Lady Bernard, Lord Carbery, Lord Talbot.
de Lord and Lady Massareene, the members Of
the Dublin Committee, the Mayor of Cork and Lady Hackett,
Sir E. Bl‘Donnell, Mr. G. Roe, &c. The entertainment to
which we refer was an aquatic excursion from this city down
the beautiful river Lee to the noble harbour of Qiieens-
town, formerly the Cove of Cork. The day was
most favourable, warm, and bright, with just enough
wind to exhibit to advantage the thousands of
flags whichdecorated the shipping in the river, and that
floated from the hospitable mansions by which the pic-
turesque shores of the Lee are studded, ornamented, and en-
livened. The attractions of the Lee have been from time
immemorial favourite themes with writers of attractive na-
tural scenery. Spenser describes it in " The Fairy Queen;
Arthur Young was in ecstacies on the Lee; Creswick
sketched it with feelings of delight; Bartlett and Willis
made it the most alluring of•lrish rivers; Mrs. S. C. Hail
improved upon their pictures, and, finally, we have the less
assuming, but more practically useful work just issued ill
London from the office of "The Illustrated Library," en-
titled " The Tourist's Hand-book." •With these works, so
easily procurable by the general reader, we may be excused
for avoiding that which would doubtlessbe in place here in the
estimation of parties who meditate a trip to this most attractive
locality. At twelve o'clock the Viceregal party, with the
other guests of the committee, who had been admitted to a
private inspection of the Exhibition, were conducted on
board the smart river steamer, the Prince Arthur, which
had the fine band of the 90th Regiment stationed in the,
bows. A considerable crowd had assembled on the spacious
quays about the building, and when their Excellencies em-
barked they were greeted with loud and protracted cheers.
Indeed every mark of respect that could be shown by a
loyal, hospitable, and cheerful people to the representative
of a beloved Sovereign was displayed in the most un-
equivocal manner by the inhabitants of this city
during the stay of their Excellencies. From every.
village and town along the banks of the river salutt's.
were fired as the Prince Arthur sailed past, or crowds o'
people cheered heartily by way of greeting to their noble
visitors. Having passed the Island of Hawlbowline---a
great naval and ordnance magazine, and an object worthy esr
close inspection by visitors—the Prince Arthur hove in sneak
of Queenstown Harbour in all its glory. It was a AO
which elicited front the visitors on beard a unanimous ok-
pression of surprise and delight. Here is a harbour
capable of affording accommodation to the united navies
of Europe, completely surrounded by steep hills, with a
depth of water sufficient for the largest vessel afloat, and
at all times of wind and tide it can be approached from the
sea by a mere gut, which is commanded by the guns Of the Camden and Carlisle Forts; but it was not in its
ordinary situation, nearly deserted, for yesterday and for
some days previously, a tolerably powerful fleet was riding
at anchor. The moment the. Prince Arthur came full in
view of the fleet, a salute of 21 guns was fired from the
guard-ship Ajax, 60 guns. The measured time of the die;
charges was hardly interrupted' by the small thunders %.
the salutes from the merchant craft and the yachts which
lay about the huge men of war. Further down in the
harbour the Hogue, 60 guns, the Rodney, 90 guns, and
the noble Prince Regent of ILO guns, lay proudly but trans
quills at their anchors. The people of Queenstown asseln;
bled on the shores, and by the hoisting and lowering
innumerable flags and loud cheering completed the exciting
and delightful scene. The admirals of the port and the fleet'
Dixon and Cory, came on board the Prince Arthur to pal
their respects to their Excellencies, and invite them 0'•
board the Ajax. The invitation was cheerfully accePt!`"
and the Viceregal party proceeded on board that sh_,T
Their Excellencies were saluted by the sailors on the Yer"
in the style of " true British tars." On board the Ajax ad-
dresses were presented to his Excellency from the inhauld
tants of Queenstown, from the Royal Cork Yacht Club, ef,
the foreign Consuls, congratulating his Excellency on
arrival in Cork. In these documents particular stress ,ft:
laid upon the anxiety manifested by his Excellency for to*,
improvement of the trade and for the general

decided eclat.

THEIR EXCELLENCIES' VISIT TO THE EXHI-
BITION.
This morning their -Excellencies again visited the Exbi;
bition, which was in a presentable condition. It is The
justice to say that it is a most creditable display. It'
coup rail of the Fine Arts Hall, as the chief portion of te
extensive building is called, is really beautiful, whilst the
details of the works of art, of furniture, clothing, Sce-- are
worthy of close inspection. The catalogue shows that ever'',
article exhibited is the work of Irishmen or the produce of
the Irish soil. Amongst the most attractive objects in the
sculpture department is a group from the studio of Kr. Joha
E. Jones. representing the sous of Mr. Brassey, the cele-
brated railway contractor. One is seated carelessly on such
a specimen of a Highland pony as Landseer would select
in his own walk of art as a model. At his feet a noble
mastiff breathes, while the second son is all but .heard speak'
ing to the fine jaunty fellow on the shaggy bit of horseflesh-
This must be exaggeration, yoitwill say. Come, look at the
group, and then—. The same accomplished artist has
several other clever and attractive works here. The agile'
brated " Dead Christ," by Hogan, is here. It might, without
much loss to the Exhibition, be removed to the adjoinisg
Roman Catholic chapel. With more cheerful sensations the
visitor can dwell upon the "Grecian Shepherd," by this
lcnted sculptor, of whom the Cork people are with iits‘"l
very proud. Kirk, of Dublin, J. H. Foley, and P. IllacDowe
have several beautiful works here, in this department, WY
creditably finished. A few good paintings decorate the walls;
Amongst the exhibitors are Maclise, the pride of Cork, of
which city he is a native; William Fisher, Edwin ligAes;
J. Haverty, J. P. Knight, M'Alanus, Bridgeford, Ida"
Bandon, Lady Harriet Bernard, &c. Poplins and tabicets hold a distinguished place. Richard
•
Atkinson, Ym. Fry, of Dublin, and several Cork firms, have,
contributed articles of remarkable beauty.
The linen manufacturers of Belfast are liberally reP.,_ll4: .
sented. In this department there is much to gratify ,
friends of Ireland—all who desire her prosperity

DEPARTURE OF THEIR EXCELLENCIES.
At one o'clock on Saturday the Lord-Lieutenant and the_
Countess of Eglinton took their departure by special train for
Dublin. They ..left carrying with them the blessings °I
many and the gratitude of all the people of Cork for the
support they have given to this the first National Exhibition
in Ireland.
