HEROISM ON THE TIGHT-ROPE.
(From Punch.)
Poor old Madame Saqui! how many of us can look
a long. long way—we will not think how long—back,
when that marvellous woman stood, the centre, the
human speck of a burning Vauxhall-star—who shall
soy how many feet above the earth? Madame
S'7citti ! Marvellous, indeed, were the wonders of
Vauxhall ! The millions of lights that made dim
the vary story-books, and gave to childhood
an actual knowledge, a breathing experience of glories
and effulgencos, that made even Sinbad poor and colour-
less. The Arabian Nights! Could they be anything
like that night—our first night—in Vauxhall Gardens;
a night whose wonders were crowned by that astounding
Frenchwoman, Madame Saqui! There she stood in
burning state, with balls of red and blue fire rising and
breaking like a thousand bubbles about her—and rained
upon by golden showers that seemed a real, enduring
wealth !

And Madame Sgqui—having, like a spider, run a long
thread of life—jumped to the ground full of ready money.
She had foregone the rope, end resolved to walk the
earth, when—

" Her brother," says the Patrie—
" Who was the manager of the Rouen Theatre, was on
the point of becoming bankrupt, with debts amounting to
600,000 f, and to save his credit, Madame Saqui paid the
whole amount, and reduced herself to poverty."
Well, with a heavier load of years upon her should-
ers, the devoted sister had her shoes chalked once more,
and once more mounted the rope, balancing and dancing
Away, but somehow not dancing fortune back to her.
However, she managed to save some 30,000 F. in Spain;
but as Spaniards rarely suffer so much to leave their
country, she was stripped by binditti—by fellows wao
deerved every inch of the rope by which the mule/
had been earned—stripped of every sou.
And now, here she is again! Here is the poor old
woman—aged 75—once more on the tight-rope, dancing
for bread at the Hippodrome, in Paris!
Reader, does not that old rope-dancer teach a touch-
ing lesson? Is she not in her wrinkles a noble object of
self-devotion? Poor old soul! She may dance—dancing
on a rope, with seventy-five sears upon her head!—
dance amidst shower.; of fireworks—but there is a halo
of goodness brighter than Bengal lights, more radiant
than "golden drops."
Granted, it may be possible to find selfishness even
upon a throne. May it not be equally possible to behold
self-sacrifice even upon a rope?

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF EXCHEQUER, June 2.
(Sittings in Midoh sex. at Nisi Price, in Trinity Term,
before Mr. Baron PARKE and Common Juries.)
PARKES v. MATER.
Mr. Sergeant Wilkies and Mr. H. A. Simon con-
ducted the ease for the plaintiff, and Mr. Edwin James,
with Mr. Bovill, represented the defendant.
This was an action to recover compensation in
damages for an alleged false imprisonment and assault,
It appeared that the plaintiff was formerly a partner in
the firm of Parke?, Smith, and Co., solicitors, Bee:ford-
row, but had some time :since failed for a sum of 45,0001.
On the lit of July, 1851, being pressed for money, he
made an application to a person of the name of Barnard,
a clerk in the Royal British Bank, to whom he was
known, to discount for him. This application, how-
ever, was refused, as being
contrary to the rules of the
bank. Barnard wishing to assist the plaintiff gave
him a card of introduction to the defendant, a plate-
glass manufacturer, in Great Queen-street, Lin-
coln's Inn-fields, at the moment supposing that the former
had a good account at the bank, although it afterwards
turned out that that account was overdrawn by about
121. The defendant was in the habit of discounting
bills. The plaintiff, when at the defendant's, produced
three ecceptseces by different persons, one for 1201., one
for 401, and one for 301. At first the defendant refused
to comply with the request to discount, but subsequently,
upon the plaintiff depositing with him fifty shares in a
lime-quarry in Cornwall, the defendant made an advance
of 501., which sum was either to be repaid in three days,
or the discount was to be completed with a deduction of
10/. The plaintiff, however, having obtained the 501.,
did not again visit the defendant, as had been agreed
upon. Upon this a correspondence was opened between
the parties, the defendant demanding the repayment of
the 501., as he had discovered that the bills were unsafe.
And so it proved, for on their arrival at maturity they
were dishonoured. The money for the 401. bill was af-
terwards recovered. It happened that as the defendant

custody upon a charge of having obtained money from
and on the Monday, having been brought up before the
magistrate, the case was dismissed, upon the ground that
the false pretences bad not been established. The pre•
sent action was therefore brought to recover compensa-
tion for this imprisonment, and the damages were laid at
Shaitmurdianyt:
1,0001.
Tae
cptiln in,
having been called, proved the original
tiff,
anda
dded that he banked at the Royal
British Bank, and that ho had applied to Mr. Barnard,
the chief cashier, who eventually gave him a card of intro-
duction to the defendant.
Cross-examined by Mr. JAMES—At the time of his
application his account was overdrawn 121., which ba-
traon
lance against him had not, up to the present moment,
been diminished. He had not told the defendant that
the clerk at the bink would endorse the bills. Of that
fact he was quite certain, and would swear it. He had
deposited some shares with the defendant as a sort of
•
security. Those shares he had purchased of a
Mr. Pace, but he had not paid for them. Ho
gave a bill for them, which had not been paid. The
bills he had deposited with the defendant were
bills which bad been accepted for his own accommoda-
tion, and they had not been honoured. He took the
benefit of the Insolvent Act in 1849, when his liabilities
were as much as 45000/. In the course of his pro-
fessional transactions large sums had come into his pos-
session, bat had not afterwards been forthcoming when
required by the parties.
Hence the large amount of his
liabilities.
Further evidence was given to prove the custody and
the dismissal of the case by the Lord Mayor.
Mr. JAMES addressed the jury for the defendant in a
very able speech, commenting in terms of great severity
on the conduct of the plaintiff, who, having once been in
a respectable practise as an attorney, had subsequently
existed on his ruined reputation, and by practising frauds
eon the unwary. as
-- would leave the matter in the hands
of the jury, by whom he felt assured due justice would
be done.
Mr. Baron PARES then summed up the evidence.
The jury, after a little consultation, returned a vercbc
for the Plalntiff—Dataaa One
