INSTITUTION OF CIVIL ENGINEERS.
On Tuesday
the chair), the (James M. Ronde!, Eeq., President, in
paper read was " Toe Economy of Rail-
ways, as a means of transit, comprising the classification
of the traffic,
in relation to the most appropriate speeds
for the conveyance of
pasieugers and merchandize," by
Mr. Braithwaite Poole,
Assoc. Inst. C. E.
After referring to the influence which cheap and
rapid communications had on the prosperity of a na-
tion, the
author alluded to the rise of the railway
system in this country, expressing the belief, that it
would have
been economical and wise if the Legislature
had, in the first instance, determined the line on which

point, where it was thought a reduction of expenses
made. The principal point advanced was the
amalgamating, or working, of all the railways in four
great divisions, and ensuring unity of management in
every department, in the maintenance of the permanent
way, and of the rolling stock, as well as in their
manufacture, several improvements in the construes
tion of the waggons being suggested. It a general
1 clalsifieation of trains were arranged throughout
the kingdom, separating each class, and running
them at different speeds , whenever practicable, it
was thought that it would be conducive to the interest
of all parties, as it was urged to be a manifest injustice
towards those who paid the highest fares, to find third-
class passengers arriving at the same time with them.
Punctuality and regularity required to be strictly at-
tended to for the maintenance of a certain definite speed.
Numerous instances were adduced to show the vast
advantages and economy of the railway system, without
which the penny postage could not have been achieve-0,

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
VICE- CHANCELLOR'S COURT, April 24.
(Before Vice-Chancellor TURNER.)
LUMLEY V. WAGNER—HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE AND THE

ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA.

It being understood that an application would be
made this morning to dissolve the injunction which was
granted yesterday against Madile. Wagner and Mr.
Gye, the court was crowded at an early hour by persons
anxious to hear the answer which would be made to the
affidavit of Mr. Lumley read yesterday in court. The
public anxiety was, however, disappointed, for no men-
tion was made of the case during the day, and though,
as wo are informed, the defendants had been engaged
during the whole of the night in preparing affidavits,
i
none had been filed n the case at the time of the rising
of the Court. The minutes of the order of yesterday
have been served on Mr. Gye personally, and on
the solicitor of Mademoiselle Wagner, and on
the part of the defendants, a notice of motion to dis-
solve the injunction was served on Mr. Lumley's solicitor
so late as eleven o'clock last night. At this point
the matter rests for the present.

CAMPBELL, Chief Baron POLLOCK, Mr. Baron PARK,
Mr. JU.tice EULE, and Mr. Justice WILLIAMS

THE QUEEN v. HASH
Mr. H. T. COLE stated that in tnis case he had at-
tended before the Recorder, and suggested to him that
the case should be amended; his Lordship had kindly
attended to his request, and had amended the case, but
he (lir. Cole) had not received it till late last night,
He had not, therefore had an opportunity of altering
the caso which had been laid before their Lordships.
He would therefore submit that the case might stand
over.

Mr. HUDDLESTONE said, as the case had been altered,
it presented a different feature for consideration, and he
was not, therefore, now prepared to argue it.
The COURT directed that it should stand over.

ARUM'S' COURT, April 24.
(Before Sir J. DODSON
THE OFFICE OF THE JUDGE PROMOTED BY HODGSON

AGAINST GLADSTONE.
Mr. Gladstone appearei when this case was called on,
and, addressing the Judge, expressed his regret that ho
was not prepared to hand in his allegation, as he had
been admonished to do. The allegation was of great
importance in reference to the trial of the case. The
documents which he had to consult and to procure, es-
pecially with reference to the time of his residence in
the diocese of Norwich and his incumbency there, were
voluminous, and he prayed to be allowed to deliver in
his allegation on the next court day, Monday, May 3.
Sir J. Donsow said ho would so f r indulge Mr.
Gladstone as to give him till Thursday, April 29, to
deliver his allegation, if he would undertake to be ready
then.

Mr. Gladstone gave the required undertaking, and so
,he matter rests to the prFs“ut.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MARYLEBONE.
Mr. Charles lit,roble, the veteran actor, attended at
this court, before Mr. Long, in pursuance of a summons
obtained against him by
a cabman named Styles, the
amount of whose claim ag iinst defendant was 2d.
Mr. Kemble, who looked remarkably well, took his
seat by the bench.
Complainant stated that on last Monday week he took
up defendant in the Old Bailey, and drove him to his
residence, No. 6, Albany-terrace, Regent's-park, where
he alighted, and the servant who opened the door for him
gave him (witness) is. 6d. as his tare. Ho observed that
he was entitled to is. Bd., upon which the servant went
into the passage to speak to his master, and presently
returned, telling him (complainant) that he would have
no more. Complainant added, that having ascertained
the name of his Are he went away, and shortly after-
wards spoke to some cabmen upon an adjacent rank, and
he felt bound in justice to himself to take out a aura-
mops; the distance for which he claimed wan two miles
and a quarter.
Thomas Chamberlain, Mr. Kemble's servant, deposed
that complainant made a positive demand of 25.; had he
mentioned that his fare was Is. Bd., the extra 2d. would
in a moment haw) been paid to him.
Mr. LONG felt satisfied from what he had heard that
complainant would, if ho had demanded his proper faro
only, readily hay() had the same paid to him, and or-
dered that be should receive the 2d. which he sued for
but ha would not under the circumstances be allowed
any costs, either as regarded what ho had paid for the
summons or for his attendance.
Mr. Kemble, after thanking the magistrate for his at-
tention to the case, quitted the court.

Mrs. Elizabeth Linfield, a singular-looking old
woman, who üb,ut five years ago acquired considerable
notoriety by her commitment from this court on a charge
of wilful murder, in having caused the death of a re-
srctable
young woman, by using instruments to cause
abortion, but who was acquitted at the Oid Bailey, ap-
plied to the Hon.

G. C. Norton for protection against a
young man,

and whom she had always treated as her son, The ap-
plicant said that the young man bad been for some time
subject to fits, and had also a violent attack of cholera,
and both hal so impaired his mind that he had on more
than one occasion attempted suicide. Latterly, however,
his malady had taken a different turn, and he now de-
