looking especially at the insua-iient nature of the evi-
dene,!.. Lord ;Frankfort deniNt that; there was a 6ingl,l
won; 01 truth in the ev.d,:uce of the witness Gray, whz,
was ez mined cn thi, former occasion.
Mr. HENRY mtliA the attention of &Ir. Dearsley to
the evidence of Macbeath, who proved his Lordship's
handwriting.
Mr. Dearsley said he thought this evidence alight to
he admitted as proof in a civil ease, but he spoke too
loose!), saying it was something like his Lordship's hand,
but was greatly disguised, to have any weight in a cri-
minal proceeding. The best termination of the whole
matter would be to cii,qniss it, for the public knew that
the position of the noble defendant was too high to be
injured fur one moment by such absurd and ridiculous
stuff.

111.• HENRY—I arts of opinion there is quite ruffieient
bat
to justify me in sending the case before a jury;
rt I shall not prejudice the defendant by stating at
length the rca.ionn why I think so. It is enough for me
r say there is sufficient evidence. Lot the witnesses be
uoaud over.
The witnesses were accordingly bound over to prose-
cute Lord Frankfort at the next session of the Central
Crinlinal Court.

MARLBRO'-STREE r—(THIS DAY.)
UNCOMFORTABLE QUARTERS.—Francis Stewart, No.
3, Pelhsrn-place, North, and James Frosbrook 14, Pel-
batn-place. North, both described on the charge-sheet
!Is gentlemen, were placed at the bar, before Mr. Bing-
"ln, charged with being drunk and disorderly.
, Inspector Monckton stated that, between nice and ten
clock on the preceding night, the defendants came to
the door of Vine street station-house in a state of in-
toxication, and, ss their conduct was exceedingly dis-
orderly, he ordered them to go away, which they re-
fused to do. He then had them brought into the station
and locked them up.
The defendants admitted the charge; and Mr. Stewart
asid he had passed a most uncomfortable night in a filthy
"11, and his arms were covered with bites from fleas or
other vermin.
Mr. BINGHAM fined them ss. each.
Mr. Stewart handed over a sovereign for the poor-box,
and left the court with his friend.
A SSAULT ON A CONSTABLE,—Thomas Lennard was
Charged with assaulting police-constable Silverton, 53
C, who stated that on the previous afternoon he was on
duty in Crown-street, when his attention was called to
the defendant, who, with about twenty others, were
Standing in the centre of the pavement, to the great an-
noyance of the inhabitants. Witness requested them to
go away, when the prisoner with an oath rushed upon
him and dealt him a tremendous blow on the nose. Wt:h
the assistance of 131 F, prisoner was lodged in the station.
Mr. BINGLIAM committed the prisoner for ten days.

ARTIFICIAL PRODUCTION OF FISR.
Au account was given a short time ago of the dis-
covery of the means of producing fresh water fish to
an immense extent, by preserving the eggs of the
female and applying to them, at the suitable time,
the milt of the male ; and it was stated that an exten-
sive
application of the system had already been made
'With most extraordinary success in numerous rivers
and streams in different parts of France. The French
Government, in order to increase the food of the
People, and to create a new branch of commerce, has
resolved still further to extend the application of the
,system ; and it has directed several eminent scientific
6'!°,ttemen to occupy themselves with it, and espe-
cially to ascertain whether it can be applied to salt
water as
well as to fresh water fish. In execution of
its instructions, M. Coste, member of the Institute, 1
and professor of the College de France, has visited an t
establishment
for producing fish near Huningen,
i.
I,?unded by MM. Berthot and 'Detzem, engineers of ')
iltas canal from the Rhone to the Rhine, to see whether
cannot be made to supply all sorts of fish in sutra-
ti_ eta quantities to stock all the rivers, streams, canals,
Z.ilakes in the country, M. Coste has given an account
te
s mission in a long report to the Minister of the In-
• rtur, Agriculture and Commerce ; and the report has
Just been publishedfor public information. After briefly
noticing the vast importance of the discovery, and
mentioning
that the credit of having turned it to
practical account belongs to two fishermen, named
"in and Remy of Bresse, in the Vosges, M. Coste
states that he has ascertained by experiments made in
teirjunction with Messrs. Berthot and Detzem that
e eggs of the fish may be conveyed any distance
out f
13; water without losing
and that they any of their qualities,
may be made, by a vcry simple appa-
ratuv'
t° become excluded or hatched, more safely
thanla when deposited by the females in beds of streams.
•Le 3' this plan, M. Coate asserts that it is possible to get
:70 yields of fish instead of one in the same period of
_l_aertailetirantlayereexbpyentsoe.stock all the waters in France at
He then goes on to say that
essrs. Berthot and Detzem have this year, notwith-
standingtheir resources have only been scanty, pro-
ducein the reservoirs of the canal, not fewer than
million of trout and salmon. He recommends that a
4...11!il of money shall be placed at their disposal to
carry on operations on a grand scale ; and be goes
meuteiehgthened details to prove that their establish-
vq..ttr.om its position near sheets and streams of
tr7_ria I.e peculiarly adapted to become the great cen-
invinuuitethdc artificial production of fish. He gives a
emplo escription of the apparatus he proposes to
enable
Yin preservin the females' eggs, and in causing
ern to he,„ g '
come excluded • and he states that it will
"'" Peculiar to the 'Rhine, to the lakes of Con-
Lnce
aducpd and zeirich, and to the Federsee, to be easily pro-
and naturalized in French waters. He next
shows how the extensive reservoirs, which exist or
try be created at Huningen, will allow the fish to be
:hied according to their species and age ; and how
*ue fit when grown up to a certain size, may, if re-
quired, be removed from place to place. He proceeds
to state that a sum of 22,000 f. will be sufficient to
prepare the establishment of Huningen for what is re-
quired, and an allowance of B,ooof. a year enough to
keep it up. In the course of his report M. Coste
takes occasion to mention the curious experiment he
Made some time ago of producing salmon in a vessel
at the College de France, by simply causing
Water to flow from a cistern over fecunded
eggs ; and he says that the salmon so produced
are at present more than two inches in length,
one fifth of which they have grown within the
last twenty-five days. He further announces that he
has likewise succeeded in producing, also at the Col-
14ge de France, a considerable number of lobsters ;
and he dwells on the importance to the country of in-
creasing the production of that and other descriptions
of shell fish. M. Heurtier, director of agriculture and
commerce, has also addressed a report to the Minister,
in which he relates the extraordinary results obtained
by Gain and Remy's system, and strongly recom-
mends that the 30,000 f. demanded by M. Cote for
liutangen shall be at once awarded; also that that
gentleman shall be sent into Italy to examine into the
Means of preserving and producing fish employed
near the Adriatic, and especially at Commachio. The
linister has approved of these recommendations.

A sNARE AND ITS LARDER.—By the Orinoco,
eit re arrived last week from the West Indies, a venomous
reptile of the snake species arrived from Demerara. It was
C9ntained in a box about five feet long, three feet broad, and
lighteen inches high. This box was parted off long ways.
.„4 One compartment his tmAlteship was lodged, and the other
118 filled with live fowls when the box left Demerara. A
door lifted up, by which a communication was established
between the snakery and fowlery. When the box arrived
at Southampton, only one fowl was left, a beautifully
4peekled hen, all the others had been devoured by the rep-
tile. This poor bird was strutting about its apartment
Unemiscione of the propinquity of its loathsome enemy. The
crevices of the box were, the snake was lodged were covered
