MADAME TUSSAUD'S.—The magnificent collection
of portrait models of the principal monarchs and celebrated
men of Europe, together with relics of no ordinary interest,
as well as many belonging to the First Napoleon, and which
can only be seen at Mdme.Tussand's popular and instructive
Exhibition, in Baker-street, continue a great attraction to
the numerous visitors who daily patronise the same.
The case of Letitia Bonaparte Wyse, widow of
Sir Thomas Wyse, daughter of Lucien Bonaparte,
and therefore cousin german of the present Emperor of
France, against Messrs. Lewis and Howe, her late solici-
tors, came on for trial on Saturday in the Court of Com-
mon Pleas, before Chief Justice Monahan and a special
jury. It was resumed yesterday, and is not yet finished.
there was much excitement in court yesterday in course of
the proceedings, when a boy of about 16 years of age, a
clerk in Mr. Lewis's office, was confronted with Madame
Wyse. He swore positively that he delivered a letter to her
from Mr. Lewis on the 14th May at her lodgings at the house
of Mr. Bolton, confectioner, Leeson-street. She as posi-
tively swore the contrary, and, at a short interval, Mr.
Bolton, who was sent for, came forward, and producing his
account book, swore she did not come to reside at his house
until the 19th, five days after. At this stage there was
another little episode. Mr. Napoleon Wyse, who was
seated beside his mother, Lady Wyse, volunteered some
assistance to Mr. Lewis in examining Mr. Bolton's account
book for the date, when madame rose indignantly and
passed over to the other aide of the court, intimating that
she disengaged herself from an unfilial son. The address of
Mr. Whiteside to-day for the pla;ntiff, Lady Wyse, is
looked forward to with considerable interest.

FUNERAL OF A POLICE SERGEANT.—Yesterday
afternoon the remains of Henry Joy, formerly a
sergeant of the C division of Police—and who died last
week after a lingering illness, owing its origin to injuries
he received while in execution of his duty—were deposited
in their final resting place in Highgate Cemetery, On the
funeral cortege reaching the Kentish-town Police station it
was preceded by a number of the A Reserve, and the band
of the C division (under the direction of Mr. De Lacy, the
bandmaster), and followed by a large body of the C divi-
sion, and a host of friends of the deceased, and inhabitants
of the St. James's district—all anxious to pay this
tribute of respect to his memory. The procession then
wended its way to the cemetery, the band playing the
"Dead March in Saul," the " Sicilian Mariners' Hymn,"
&e. On reaching the cemetery the coffin was borne to the
grave by some of the deceased's comrades, and, after the
service for the burial of the dead had been read, the band
played a requiem over the grave as the mournful ceremony
concluded. Mr. Ilannant, the superintendent of the C
division, was present, as also Inspectors Walker, Silvertonp
Wilson, and Draper, under whose direction the arrange-
meats were carried out.
Advices from Athens state that the King of
Greece has given a grand ball, at which were
present all the membars of the diplomatic body,
the Ministers, the grand functionaries, and about
a thousand other guests. His Majesty opened the
fete with the wife of the President of the Assembly,
and danced several times during the evening.
