" a change" has unfortunately come over
the spirit of her dream." In. " The Ladies of
Bever Hollow" we only recognised the shadow of
our old favourite. And now, in Meadowleigh,"
the
pleasant likeness has disappeared altogether.
i4l4i°as, perhaps, to avoid the vortex of excitement
eWhiell so many recent novelists have been
farried away, the authoress of " Meadowleigh" has
alien into the opposite extreme, and drifted
as into nothing better than a dead calm. Her
84'47, which aspires to be simple, is only insignifi'
beatit. Her style of narrative, which is intended to
natural, is commonplace and vapid. If

LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

- - -
It was expected that the judgment would have been de-
livercdiin the case of the Peterhoff this morning, but owing
to the judges not having conferred in consequence of the
absence of Mr Justice By tee on circuit, the delivery of the
deziYion will now stand over until next (elm,

COUR!! OF PROI3ATE.
(Before the Judge Ordinary.)
WAIL].) AND EDWARDS V, FREEMAN.
In this case Mr Freeman propounded a codicil to the will
of Mrs Freeman, which was contested on the ground that
the testatrix was, at the the time the codicil was executed,
in a state of mind entirely unfit for such a purpose. The
g3ntleman in whose favour the codicil was executed was
a surgeon, and for years had been a great favourite with
the husband of Mrs Jacobs, In 1855 Mrs Jacobs was
taken unwell, and Mr Freeman being a surgeon,
she sent for him to attend her. At this time she
told him she had long wished to make a codicil to her will
in his favour, and accordingly it was executed. The testa-
trix recovered, but eventually died in 1862, when Mr Free.
man produced the codicil, which, until that moment, was
entirely unknown to the executrix, The executors objected
to tho document on the ground above stated, but witnesses
were this morning examined to sihow that the testatrix was
a person of very active business habits oven at the time of
her death. The property of the testattrix, it was represented
to Mr Freeman, was so involved, and in such confusion,
that it was said there would not be a surplus after her direc-
tions had been carried out, but ho insisted on the codicil
being adhered to, and this circumetanco led to the present
proceeding.

The case was proceeding when went to press.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.

BO W- STREET.

ROBBERY AND EMBEZZLEMENT BY A TOWN TRA-
VELLER.—A. respectably dressed man named Devereux,
lately in the employment of Mr Lawrence, of Southampton-
street, Strand, was placed at the bar on a remand, charged
with stealing a large quantity of shirt collars from his
employer, a wholesale manufacturer.

The robbery was committed under rather peculiar oircum-
stancis. Tho prisoner, it appeared, had abstracted a quantity
of blank invoices from the warehouse in the first instance,
and then on supplying any shirt collars, which he also
abstracted from Mr Lawrence's stock, he filled up the in-
voices in the regular way and enclosed them with the collars.
In this manner hesupplied three dozan to a gentleman named
Twining, who paid the prisoner for them a few days after
they were delivered, The transaction with Mr Twining
was never entered in Mr Lawrence's book, and the prisoner
had no authority to supply goods on his own account.
Mr Lawrence also charged the prisoner with embezzling
the sum of £6.

Ackrill, the police-constable, stated that ho found a
quantity of property belonging to Mr Lawrence at the
lodgings occupied by the prisoner.
Mr Vaughan having cautioned the prisoner in the usual
manner, asked him what ho had to sny to the charge of
robbing his employer.
The prisoner simply replied, "Nothing."
Ho was then fully committed for trial.

GRAND JUNCTION CANAL.

The half-yearly general meeting of this company
was held at the offices, Surrey-street, Strand; Mr.
G. Anderson in the chair. . .

Mr. Rogers, the clerk, read the report, which
stated that the receipts for the half-Seer ending
June, 1863, bad been £33,860, and for the past halt-
year £30,467. The decrease was mainly attributable
to a frost at the commencement of the year. The
expenses for the past half-year had exceeded those
of the corresponding period in 1863 by £4,379,
arising from the execution of several repairs and
extra works for economising water, and the coati'
nuous working of the 13 steam-engines, owing to
the great drought. The profits on the half-year,
after payment of all expenses and the interest on
the preference stock, amounted, with the balance
from last account, to £23,993, out of which the
committee recommended a dividend of £1 1 ss. per
share, free of Income•tax, on the original stock,
leaving a balance of £4,150.
The report was adopted, the dividend was declared,
payable on the 15th inst., and a vote of thanks to
the chairman concluded the proceedings.

THE CITY TRAFFIC.

A report from the General Purposes Committee was
brought up, to the effect that they had been attended by a
deputation from the Police Committee of the Court of
Common Council upon the subject of the drivers of hackney
cabs plying for hire and loitering in the great thoroughfares
of the city. The deputation dwelt upon the inconveniences
arising from that, the great obstruction to the general traffic,
and the constant dangers to which foot passengers were con-
stantly exposed in crossing the streets. They also expressed
a strong opinion that if the persons thus offending against
the law were severely punished by the infliction of penalties
the evil, if not entirely remedied, might ba to a great extent
diminished. The committee was likewise attended by the
Commissioner of the City Police, who recommended to
them that the number of cabs loitering in the streets was
very large, in consequence of the influx of them into the
city from the west end of the town at certain hours, and
those the busiest of the day. The drivers of them, he said,
kept constantly plying fur hire, and from their driving
round and roundtin circles in the most thronged streets in
the neighbourhood of the Mansion-house and other thorough-
fares, they caused the greatest impediment to the traffic.
The Connniession was of opinion that the remedy for the
evil would be the infliction of graduated and heavy penal-
ties, together with the endorsement on the license of the
offender of the convictions and penalties imposed from time
to time. The committee reported that, having duly consi-
dered the subject, they were of opinion, and recommended
that in future the drivers of hackney carriages convicted
before the magistratee`of offences against 'be act of Parlia•
ment by plying for hire while loitering in the streets of the
city be fined 58 for the first offence, and that the fine be
doubled on each additional conviction of a similar offence
until it shall have reached the limit prescribed by the act.
They also recommended that the magistrates' clerk be in-
structed to draw the attention of the sitting magistrate to
the requirement of the act, that each conviction, together
with the amount of fine inflicted, be endorsed upon the
license of the offender.
In a discussion which followed, the notorious want of
cabstands in the city was strongly insisted on by several of
the Aldermen as directly tending to the evil of empty cabs
loitering in the streets, of which the report oomplained,

, DIOEMBER 7, 1864.

while other members of the Court dwelt upon the want of
uniformity in the decisions of the Aldermen themselves in
dealing with 'ffending cabmen, v s another cause.

In the result, on the motion of Alderman 'WILSON, the
report was ordered to be printed, and a copy sent to each
member of the Court,
The meeting was then concluded.

Christmas Eve in a Night Train.

Some few years ago we met casually a clever friend who
was manager of a certain railway, and found, after the
usual greetings, that we were both suffering from a very
common annoyance, usually known as " depression of
spirits," although neither of us was able to assign any
substantial reason for our condition at the moment.

" Come with me," said our friend. " "Whenever lam in
' the blues,' I adopt a simple but efficacious remedy, and
you shall try it.''

" And canst thou minister to a mind diseased ?" was of
course the natural and time-honoured rejoinder.
" Yes, I can ; and I'll tell you what I do. I wait
until the line is clear, and then jump on a pilot engine,
run fifty or sixty miles down, and return again under the
hour. The excitement of the journey always puts the
demons to flight."
The absurdity of this proposition had the effect of dis-
pelling our own megrims as we laughed heartily at the
notion of consigning our invaluable body to a pilot engine,
steaming along at the rate of 120 miles an hour.
We did not accept our friend's invitation, but subse-
quently, acting upon his discovery, have more than once
sought the excitement of Thames.streot when business
was at its height, and have found that a walk down that
river-side thoroughfare has dispelled every other feeling
but one of thankfulness for a safe deliverance from danger
and death. Let any tnalade itnaginaire try it. The bags,
barrels, and bales swinging over-head from every gradation
of height, the jamming of carts and cabs, the unparlia.
mentary "cheeking" (we believe that is the word) of cab-
men, carters, and truck-haulers—the bawling of grimy coal
and corn-porters (who certainly ask, "By y' leave," but
require such an immediate compliance that if you hesitate
a moment you aro pirouetting in the gutter), the roaring
which comes from the opened windows of gloomy taprooms,
filled with half-tipsy fellows, emitting clouds of most vil-
lanous tobacco, are a combination of exciting causes suffi-
cient to stimulate the most desponding. MARK LEMON.—

AN IRISHMAN IN SEARCH OP A WIFE.—On the
24th September last last, an advertisement appeared
in the Manchester Guardian to this Elf .et :—" Wanted—A
gentleman with £3OO a year, residing in the north of Ire-
land, is desirous of meeting with an amiable Protestant
young lady, possessed of some ready money.—Address, in
confidence, T. L., Post-office, Liverpool," On the appear.
anco of this business like epistle some wags in Workington
readily took the matter up. An ideal young lady was de-
picted (Miss I. G. Radstock, a young orphan girl with
£6,000) ; and after a somewhat warm correspondence the
young Lothario was decoyed over to Workington. Thurs-
day week was the day of his arrival, and no sooner was it
known that the fish was so nearly landed than pickets
were despatched to all quarters of interest, and by seven
o'clock the New Crown Hotel (the place arranged for
meeting) was crowded with a reckless crew eager for the
fray. The brave "Roy Neill and his fair young bride" to
be, with two or three "cousins" were in an adjoining room
arranging their future plans and settlements. The £6,000
was no doubt waxing yellower, and looming nearer the
vision of the would-be Benedict, when in rushed the ruth-
less dispellers of the happy scene. Don Quixote started up,
sure it was a hoax. The door was evidently the place of
his desire, through which he rushed like a flash of light-
ning, and into the street beyond, followed by thoLe he hoped
to escape from, who pounced upon him and soon brought
him to bay. An armistice was concluded, and peace pro-
claimed. The Curwen's Arms was the next place of ren-
dezvous, and all now " went merry as a marriage bell.'
The glass went quickly round ; good wishes were expressed
for his safe return, and many a joke was cracked at the poor
fellow's expense. They went on this way until it appeared
the Emoralder was getting uneasy, and an offer was made
for his final acquittal, which met with unanimous approval.
But before separating he was made the centre of a circle,
and " He's a jolly good fellow " was sung, and then he
went. The worst remains to be told. One who previously
had displayed the traitor's flag was tot content to quit the
prize until some more pickings had been wrung from
him—a supper being the object of his wish. This he
obtained from sticking to his coat-tail like an evil spirit,
and thraeteni
in ng exposure on refusal. The last time he
was seen was in the square, where he was found by a gentle-
man blue, and was thence helped to his lodgings. The'
rest is soon told—the poor " sold and done for" rushed
from the scone of his disaster as last as a carriage and four
could take him to Wbitehaven en route for Dublin.—

not guilty, on the ground of insanity at the time he corn-

The commission for the mixed circuit, comprising the

manslaughter, several maliciously wounding, arson, and
rape.

PEDESTRIANISM EXTRAORDINARY ,-0 n Monday
night Mrs Margaret Douglas, the Australian pedes-
trian, completed the task of walking 1,000 miles in 1,000
hours, at the American Opera House, Liverpool. Each
successive mile has been witnessed by persons who have
attested its fair performance, and the remarkable woman
has gone through the arduous feat with astonish-
ing freshness and vigour. During her last mile, which
she walked in the presence of several hundred persons,
she several times stopped to dance, and at the close she
declared she could have walked 200 miles more, and
would be willing to undertake 1,400. Several heavy bets
have been decided by the result.
