THE DUKE OF BRUNSWICK,

(From Galignant's Messenger.)
The Civil Tribunal of the Seine has been several
times occupied of late in hearing pleadings in a case
in which Madame de Civry, daughter of an Eng-
lishwoman, is plaintiff, and the hike of Brunswick,
for many years back residing in Paris, defendant.
The action was brought to , ecover from the Duke,
of whom the plaintiff claims to be the natural child,
an alimentary allowance of 35,000 fr. a year.
The Court yesterday delivered judgment de-
, faring that, by terms of Art. 14 of the Cude
Napoleon, a foreigner, even not residing in France,
can Le summoned before the French tribunals
for the execution of obligations by him con
tracted towards a native of France; that the
claim of Madame de Civry against the Duke of
Brunswick is brought for alimentary subsistence;
that, although a foreigner when born, she became
French by ter marriage with, the Count de Civry,
and her right to an alimentary pension has arisen
posteriorly to the event which confers on her the
quality of a Frenchwoman, since it exists in reality
and can be claimed before a court of justice, only
from the day when the necessity arose ; that the
Court has no occasion to inquire at present into the
validity of the demand, but simply to consider the
quality of the parties and the object of the appli-
cation ; looking at all these points, the Court de-
clares itself competent, directs the case to be
pleaded ou the merits, and condemns the Duk,
of Brunswick to pay the costs.

We have reason to believe that it is her MRiesty's
intention that in the ensuing autumn Prince Alfred shall
Piss some time in Edinburgh. His Royal Highness will
reside in Hclyrot,d, and will take advantage of the facilities
aff,rded by the residence in that capital of dis.ingutshed
professors to attend lectures, and by other means to com •
plete his education. It is probable that his H. High-
ness's stay in Edinburgh may extend to Pia months.
PUBLIC INCOME AND EXPENDITURE.— l'he rota,
revenue of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ira-
land in the year ended the 30th June last was £70,683,860
Ils 9d. The total ordinary expenditure was £68,624,596
18s ld, showing an excess of income over ordinary expen•
diture of £2,059,263 13s 8d ; but the vote for fortifications
(190 i,000) reduces this excess to £1,159,263 13s Bd. The
balance in the Exchequer on the 30th tut were £6,892,114 2s
A HINT FOR COMPETITIVE EXAMINERS—IN
REFERENCE TO TIIE "CREMORNE TOURNAMENT.—
As Mr. E. T. Smith mentions in his advertisements that
he has specially in view the amusement and instruction of
"juveniles" by this performance, a Saturday Reviewer
suggests that it might be interesting to inquire what an in-
telligent boy who had just been reading Ivanhoe thought of
the Cremorne tournament, as compared with that of Ashby-
de-la• Z ouch.

GENERAL LEE'S ARMY (now in Pennsylvania)
consists of about 130,000 men actually in the field,
irrespective of the force lett for the defence of Richmond ,
and it is made up of the following corps :—General Ewell,
35,000 men; General Longstreet, 42,000; General Hill,
28,000—making a total of 105,000 infantry, in addition to
12,000 cavalry, under the command of (teneral Stuart, and
3,000 under that of Colonel Jenkins, besides a numerous
artillery.

Nine hundred converts to Mormonism passed
through Detroit on the 3d ult., on their way to the Salt
Lake, They were from Germany, and appeared to be intel-
ligent and well-to-do pecple, About 150 of the emigrants
were men; all the rest were women and children.
DEATH OF ONE OF NELSON'S HEROES.—There
died lately at Miscoe Island Robert Harper a native o
Glasgow, aged 78. He was a sailor under the immortal
Nelsen, and was on board his ship at the battle of the Nile
or Aboukir, and was one of the oarsmen in the boat that
landed his lordship on the shores of Egypt after the battle.
MEDICAL TRAVELLING CHARGES.—What is a
physician entitled to charge for railway fare ? The
question is being agitated rather warmly, and a recent dis-
pute between Dr. Vose, of Liverpool, and Sir Thos. Glad-
stone, Mr. Robertson Gladstone, and Mr. A. Kelso, is much
talked of, as well by medical men and in the select circles
its particulars have reached. In July, 1862, a Mr. George
Grant was taken ill in the Highlands, and Dr. Vose was
summoned by telegraph from Liverpool to Aberdeen. The
patient died, and his executors (the three gentlemen I have
named) requested Dr. Vose to send in his claim for pro•
fession al services. This amounted to two hundred and five
guineas, being 186 guineas for the journey (372 miles), and
e 9 guineas for ordinary attendance. The executors consi-
der this exorbitant, and atter some correspondence, a copy
. f which 1 have seen, close their accounts without prying
Dr. Vose. The later has no remedy, except appealing to
his professional brethren as to the fairness of his charge.
Like barristers, physicians are, by an absurd fiction, sup-
posed to render their services gratuitously, and the result is
that the question has no chance of being tried in a court
of law. But, odd as it may sound to some ears, the faculty
have declared that Dr. Vose has rather under than
overcharg-d for his journey; and it is broadly stated
that, had the late Mr. Grant been a new instead of an oid
patient, the charge should not have been less than two•
thirds of a guinea a mile. It is true that the executors
quote Professor Miller of Edinburgh, as saying that £25
per diem, and £3O for a day and night, is adequate remu-
neration for a leading physician's absence from home—but
it is said that neither Professor Syme nor Dr. Simpson
comply with the " custom" he quotes as that of the
northern city. Dr. Letham is also quoted by the Mall-
tore, but repudiates utterly backing up Dr. Vo-e's charges
as moderate, as does Dr. Watson; and it would seem that
the heir will have to pay the full amount unless he would
be couvicted of evading a moral responsibility only beceuse
it cannot be legally entorced.—lllustrated .News.
In the Sunderland Times of Friday, a correspon-
dent signing himself " One of the 36th Regiment,"
writes :--4, The .Daily Cltronide says, It is stated that
General Stuart, of the Confederate cavalry, is no other than
Lord Ernest Vane Tempest. This is not true. Lord Ern, et
Vane Tempest is not, nor ever was, in the Confederate ser-
vice, and as Assistant Adjutant-General of "Stone's division
greatly distinguished himself at the battle of Ball's Blufi',
ought 21st October, 1861."

AN INCIDF.NI2 AT WATERLOO.—Of one of these
irreparable losses, my fellow-student and worthy
comrade, Lord Hay, I must say a few words. The day be-
fore the battle of Quatre Bras, flay, who was in love witn
a young lady, entrusted bis secret to me. He said he felt a
presentment that he should not escape the first action with
the enemy, and giving me a geld chain for the object of
his affection, and a sword and sash for myself, we parted.
c met at my mother's ball on the 15th June. I shook
him warmly by the hand ; in less than twelve hours he
was buried near the spot where he had falen. Hay was
a handsome young man, fond of show and dress, and it.
was partly attributable to this that he met his death.
Mounted on a splendid charger, called Abelard, and
decaed out in a fmtcy uniform, he was shot early in the
action, by some straggler belonging to the enemy, who
evidently took him lot a superior officer. Stra• ge to say,
his presentment came true in two respects. First, he met
an early death; and secondly, as he anticipated, no trace
of him or his propt-rty remained. His servant, a most
faithful fellow, lost his baggage; and his family, to whom
he was endeared by ties, not alone of consanguinity, but of
love, did not possess the slightest relic of the departed young
hero. I remedied this, as far as lay in my power, by pre-
senting the sword to Hay's brother, the late Lord Erroll,
and his sash to his sister. A. few months afterwards, I
gave into the hands of a young and beautiful girl the chain
that had been entrusted to me, and received her thanks and
those of her parents for having thus faithfully executed the
commission of my old comrades—Lord W. Lennox's Remi-
niscences.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE - This Day.

MARLBOROUGH• STREE T.

EXTENSIVE ROBBERY OF JEWELLERY.—George Upson,
address refused, and who described himself as a jeweller,
was brought before Mr. Tyrwhitt by Sergant Thomas, of
the Detective Department, Scotland-yard, charged with
stealing from No. 23, Portland-place, a large quantity of
jewel►ery, of the value of about £2OO, the property of Mrs.
Kingdon and others.
Jane Lousins, in the service of Mr. John Galsworthy, of
23 Portland-place, said—l went co bed at a quarter to 11 on
the 2d July, and saw that one of the boxes in my room had
been turned out. The box belonged to Miss Watson, and
had been brought up into my room, It had been broken
open and only a few letters lett in it. I went down stairs,
and a constable was sent for. The trap-door on the top of
the house had been forced open. .A person could get to the
trap-door from Charlotte-street.
Mary Bishop, also in the service of Mr. Galsworthy,
said—About a quarter of an hour before the articles were
missed, I saw ,he prbperty safe in Miss Watson's, the pro-
perty being in a jewel box. The jewel box produced be-
longs to another lacy, Mrs. Kingdon, and had also been
broken open. It contained watcnes, chains, &c.
At this stage of the case Mr. Wontuer, jun., attended for
the prisoner.

Miss Harriett Watson said—ln the box which had been.
broken open there were several articles ot jewodery be-
longing to my sister, and in a drawer belonging to me there
were a watch, two pairs of earrings, and a number of other
articles. The property belonging to we was ot the value of
about £6O, and that belonjug to my sister Annie about the
same amount. My sister's name is Annie Kingdun, the
wite ot the Rev. George Kingdon.
144 E —At 10 minutes past 11, on the night of 2d July,
I was called to k 3, Portland-place, by one ot the servants,
and on going to the top room found a box broken open lying
on the servant's bed. I searched every room in the house
but found no one. I then went on to the roof ot the house,
aLd in the gutter 1 tonna the box produced, broken open,
and lying in the gutter. I cuula find nu footmarks, and
the inspector and sergeant made a further search.

By Mr. Tyrwhitt—A person could get to the trap-door
trona other houses.

Sergeant Wheeler. E division—l assisted in searching
the prewises, and un the leads of one of the houses I fouud
a " jemmy," and in comparing it with the marks on the
box I tound it to correspond.
sergeant Franklin, 20 .E—On the morning of the 3d,
about six o'clock, I went to Charlotte-street, Portland-
place, and remained till halt-past eight, charlotte-street
being at the 'Jack of Portland place. I then went to 53,
Charlotte-street, and on to the roof of the house. On
going to the corner of Devonshire-street, No. 57, I found
several slates broken. I found the outer trap door open,
but the inner ~ne fastened. I sent a constable down to
open, and then I found in the room, as I had also found on
the rout, marks of naked feet, and then made a further
a, arch, and tound footmarks troll No. 62 to the house
where the winery took place in Portland-place.
By Mr. lyrwhltt—l was enabled to trace the footmarks
cleurly, there having been no rain lately. I traced the toot-
marks over 32 houses in all.

Mrs. Annie Eliza Newman, a widow, residing at 62,
Charlotte-street, Portland-piece. I let prisoner two rooms
furnished about five weeks Lack—the two top rooms—one as
a Led room and the other as a sitting room. He occupied
the rooms till the 2d July, when he lest without notice,
and owing me tour days' rent.
By Mr. Tyrwhitt—Did any one live in the rooms with
hire ?

Witness—No, sir. The last time I saw him he was

coming out of the house at 11 at night. He had nuthing in
his hands, but I can't say whether he had a bulky appear-
ance or not.

A servant at 60, Devonshire-street, Portland-place, a
house between 62, Charlotte-street, and 23, Portland-place,
said—On the 26th of June, at night, I saw a man pass the
parapet window, stooping down. He was going in the
direction of Portland-place. I think the prisoner is the
same man. I called out, and asked what he was doing. I
picked him out this morning from several others. After I
called out to the prisoner Le went back to Charlotte-street
again.

Inspector Williamson, of the detective department,
attended to watch the case,

Prisoner was committed formally.
Tint CABMAN AND HIS FARE,—A STRANGE FANCY.—
Mr, Charles Harvey, buottniiker, 18, Broad-street, Gulden-
square, but lately living at 16, George-street, Grosvenor-
square, and who said he was bootwakin to the Prince of
Wales, was brought before Mr. Tyrwhitt by U'Shaugh-
nessy, one of the %% arrant officers, who took him into custody
at two in the morning with some difficulty, the summons
served on him having faited to induce him to attend the
court, charged with refusing to pay his cab fare of 16s.
James Tarraut,:a cab-driver, said—On the 30th of June

last I took up the detendant in Portland-place and drove
him to Buckingham Palace, Marlborough House, Shep-
herds -bu-h, and back to a bootma4er's in Pall-mall. From
Pall-mall I drove him to 16, George-street, Grosvenor-
square, where he stopped some time and brought out a box,
wuich he told me to be very careful with, as the contents
were very valuable. I said, " The box is very light, and it
can't be valuable," and on lilting up the lid I found the
box empty. The defendant then told me to chive to Porto-
bello-road, near the Royal Oak, where he was going to see
his nephew. He then told a man to look atter the horse,
and wished me to have some refreshment, but did not pay
tor it, and told the man to ci me with us. 1 then took the
defendant to Regent-street and then to Duke. street. He
told us to wait, and we waited a long time, and on at!erwards
going to 16, George-street, being anxious about my fare.
I found the defendant upstairs asleep. On asking for my fare
the defendant said, " Ott take a chair, and when my mis-
tress comes in she will pay you." I told the defendant I
wanted 16s. for eight hours' driving, and left. What made
it worse was that I had no money with me, it being my
first fare.

Mr. Tyrwhitt—The defendant must pay the amount,
and, as the cabman has been hero three times he wilt have
to pay in a, ditiun lls. 6d.
Tne defendant, who appears to have a great fancy fur
riding iu cabr, and not settitng with the onvers, paid the
amount; and as he was leaving the court he was again
taken into custody for not paying a cabman, named Nut •
ting:lam, his fare of 7s, 6J. Tins he settled by paying the
man 16s.
