WESTMINSTEIt.

IMPUDENT ROMERY.—David Duffy, aged 46, a tall,
powerful man, who is said to have been previously in cus-
tody, was placed at the bar before Mr. Arnold, charged with
stealing a watch.
The police informed the magistrate that there was no
prosecutor in attendance, but there was a witness who saw
the offence committed. It was a robbery from the person.
Mr. Arnold said that under these circumstances, he would
go on with the case.
John Webb, a cab driver, said that late last night he was
hired by a gentleman at Seymour-street, Euston-square.
and ordered to drive to the Haymarket, where the gentle-
man stopped and had some refreshment with a lady at a
tavern there. Witness was then ordered by the gentleman
to drive to Sutherland-street, Pimlico, and the prisoner fol-
lowed him as ho left the tavern, and got into the cab.
When the gentleman was getting out in Sutherland-street,
the prisoner rushed towards him, and snatching at
his watch, broke it from the guard. Witness
immediately called to the gentleman that he had been
robbed, and that his gold chain was hanging down, and
then prisoner, finding that he had been seen to commit the
robbery, which he had doubtless thought, from the posi-
tion of witness, was unobserved by him, threw the watch
into the cab.

Mr. Arnold wanted to know how the prisoner got from
the Haymarket to Sutherland-street ?
Witness said when he followed the gentleman out he
asked witness if he would let him stand on the cab-spring
and ride a little way, as he wanted to go to Westminster.
Prisoner said it was all a mistake about his robbing the
gentleman. He was a very honest man, and knew nothing
about the watch.

The cabman repeated that he saw him steal it, and throw
it into the cab.
A policeman proved searching the cab and finding it
there.
Frisoner was remanded.

ORDNANCE SURVEY.

Mr. WARNER asked the Unrier Secretary of State for
War when the military survey of the environs of London,
stated in the Ordnance Survey Report to be in progress of
publication at the end of last year, was likely to be issued ?
Lord HARTINGTON replied that some portions of the
survey had been published, and that the rest would be com-
pleted and be ready for issue before the end of the year.
PURCHASE OF THE INTERNATIONAL EXHI-

BITION BUILDING.
Lord 8.. CECIL asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer
whether the report was true that the Government had
offered or intended to become purchasers of the building in
which the Exhibition of 1862 was contained, and, if so,
what emu they pr, posed to pay for it, and at what period
of the session they intended to bring forward the estimate.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXuHEQUER had
nothing to add to the reply which he had given to a simi
lar question a short time ago. He was not able to make
any fresh statement. But should the Government cletar-
mate to purchase the building, the matter w.uld be quickly
communicated to the house, and ample time given for the
discussion of any estimate that might be asked for its pur-
chase.

BRITISH KAFFRARIA. AND THE CAPE OF
GOOD HOPE.

Mr. A. MILLS asked the Under Secretary of State for
the Colonies whether any memorials or petitions had been
recently addressed to her Majes y's Government by the in-
habitants of British K ffraria, respecting the proposed
annexation of that Province to the Colony of
the Cape of Good Hope ; ano, if so, whether
there would be any objection to lay such docu.
meats upon the table of the house ?
Mr. FORTESCUE said petitions had been presented
against the amalgamation of the co•ony with the Cape of
Good Rope. After giving the matter the fullest considers-
u, the Government had determined that the annexation
should be Proceeded with.

BERNE, MAY S.

The Federal Council, in reply to the English note
inviting it to support the steps of England at St.
Petersburg in favour of Poland, has stated that it
is impossible for it to take this invitation into con-
sideration.

The Emir Abd-el•Kader relates the following
anecdote :—A man of noble family of the Oved.
bhelif, setting out for Mecca, started in company with a
few friends who wished to do him honour. He was riding
a blond mare, still in the possession of the family. Sud-
denly she stumbled, and to punish her he gave her a smart
cut with his bridle •end, which put her in such a state of
agitation that for minutes she did nothing but rear and
jump about from right to left. On his return from Mecca
he rode the same animal, and the friends who had accom-
panied him on his departure went forth to meet hire and
give him welcome. Scarcely had they reached the spot
where the mare was beaten than she began to rear and
caper about, going through absolutely the same movements
as on the day she was struck. Every one was astonished
at this proof of extraordinary memory in an animal that had
preserved for a whole year the recollection of a punishment,
and of the place where she received it.—Daumas' Horses

EXPERIMENTS AT SHOEBURYNESS,

In reply to Mr. MAGUIRE,
Lord C. PAGET said it was true that experiments were
made at Shoeburyness on the 27th of April last on
" Chalmers' farget," but whether they were made on a
target which was a piracy of one patented by Mr. John
Clare, jun., the Board of Admiralty could not venture to
express an opinion.

CONVOCATIONS OF ARMAGH AND DUBLIN.
Mr. H. SEYMOUR asked the Secretary of State for the
Home Department whether it was the intention of her
Majesty's Government to summon the Convocations of
Armagh and Dublin, in the same manner as the Convoca-
tions of Canterbury and York were summoned ?
Sir G. GREY replied that two memorials had been pre-
sented to her Majesty, but the Government had not deemed
it well to advise her Majesty to accede to their prayer.

ECCLESIASTICAL COMMISSION.

Lord EBURY postponed his motion for a copy of the
resolutions of the Ecclesiastical Commission, to the effect
that they will forthwith raise to the value of £3OO a year
every incumbency the population of which exceeds 10,000,
confining it, however, to benefices in publics patronage, for
a few days.

POLAND.
The Earl of SHAFTESBURY presented a petition,
agreed to at a meeting held in Guildhall, in favour of the
Poles. The noble earl also presented 61 other petitions to
the same effect. He said it was not to be wondered at that
sympathy should arise in a country where so much liberty
existed as England, in favour of a nation which had made
such struggles and sacrifices for freedom as Poland. The
noble lord then proceeded to touch upon thel present
prostrate stateof Poland, and said the convention enter-
ed into by Russia and Prussia was of a most abominable
nature, the later convention was not of a more favourable
character, and the manner in which Pru.sia had submitted
to Russia was mostdisgraceful. He hoped that Russia would
not at the present time bo allowed to revive that against
which England had been so long protesting, ♦iz., a fugi-
tive slave law—a more ferocious encroachment on the rights
of man he had never heard of. When the Emperor of Russia
received the deputation, he stated that any dis-
affection or any desire to reconstitute Polish na-

tionalty would bring down upon them great mis-
fortune, and conclu ed by saying that "he would
in such a case destroy Warsaw, and that he was not a per-
son likely to build it up again." The noble earl then went
on to recount other incidents in the history of Poland,
until he came to the present outbreak, occasioned by the
abominable cAiscription, which, he said, was one of the most
refined species of cruelty the heart of man ever conceived.
IL was done by surprise in the dead of night; husbands
were torn from their wives, and sons from fathers, hall
naked from their homes and confined in prison.
It was one of the greatest atrocities ever per •
petratsd by man on man, but litre all satanical measures
it was too strong, and the devilish act had recoiled on
the head of its projector. The result of all the dreadful
proceedings showed the necessity of separation between
Poland and Russia. It was impossible that two such
nations could go in union again. The spec-
tacle before the country was neither temporary
nor spasmodic,but the result of a long series of oppressions,
and it could not ue said to have shown anything like dimi.
nishing, but quite the contrary, With respect to the late
amnesty, it was only so in name, that it was in fact merely
talk and subterfuge, and the Poles had done right to reject
it. The insurrection might be put down, but the
spirit of it would never bo quenched. It would
break out afresh again and again, and Ger schakoff
had truly said that nothing would entirely crush it out but
total annihilation and extirction

BRAZIL.-MR. CHRISTIE.

Mr. M. MILNES rose to put a question to the First
Lord of the Treasury respecting the conduct of Mr. Christie,
her Majesty's Minister at Brazil, in the question of the ship
Prince of 'Wales and the officers of her Majesty's ship
F 'rte ; and asked whether a letter addressed to Earl
Russell by the Minister of the United St.tes at the
Court of Brazil, and subsequently published, had re
ceived any notice fr.)nt her Majesty's Government. He
thought it, was only due to Mr. Christie that the hon. mem-
ber for Lincoln (Mr. Bram!ey-Moore) would retract the
very unjustifiable language he had used towards that gen.-

tleman.
Mr. BRAMLEY-MOORE, in order to explain, moved
the adjournment of the house. The merchants and prin-
cipal inhabitants of Rio Janeiro, who were better able to
pronounce an opinion than people at a distance, were
exceedingly dissatisfied with the conduct of Mr. Christie,
on account of the irritability of his manner and the actual
falsehoods in which he had dealt about the wreck of the
Prince of Wales. It appeared, too, that he had quarreled
with the other Ministers, and generally created by his con-
duct ann ill-feeling
against this country. He justified
.
image of Gen. Webbe with respect to Mr. Christie.
Lord Phazuß,l3T ON defended Mr. Christie. He had

Ithe Thrner.tea death et Major Palhan...„ I atatel thai
Gen. Stuart, at the Lead of 2,000 of hia cavalry, heti
attacked and driven back a body
of 3,000 Federal
horiemen. It appears the true narrative of the in-
cFdents of the 17th is something like the following.
Full and accurate information of the intended raid
of the Federal cavalry had reached Gen. Fitzhugh
Lee, but in the deep and miry slime of the roads he
gave little heed to the Utah of the report. It hap-
pened that Gen. Stuart was at Culpepper Court-
house attending a court-martial, With him went
also Major Pelham,
neither of them expecting any
collision with the eneoty. On the morning of the
17th it was repot ted that a large body of Federal
estimated at trout 6,000 to 8,000
ernaevtui,l7',(l7vearii:,:;,;'illyly, advancing from /iell. 'a Poi J.
fo oppose them tlicro was tingling tit the hrigade
of Gen. Fi!zliugli Lee, numbering at this moment
about 800 men, but likely to be much stronger
hereafter. Two of the Federal regiments were
dismounted and thrown out as sharpshooters, and
against these dismounted men the flonfederatee
thrice gallantly attempted to charge, but were un-
ab
le to get at them by reason of the inaccessibility
of their position. Just as the third charge was im-
minent, Major Pelham, who had borrowed a horse
and was on the field as a volunteer, rode a little for-
ward, and,having been forbidden by General Stuart
to join (as he eagerly desired) iu the charge, cheered
the 3d Virginia Regiment forward with voice and
hand. "There they are boys, there ! Give it 'ern!
forward! forward !" These were his last words.
He never spoke again. A shell, discharged at the
regiment, burst above him, and extinguished one of
the purest and bravest spirits which have yet been
.ieldEd up in this desolating war. The charge was
delivered without Effect, but immediately after-
wards, to the astonishment of their opponents, the
Federals began to retreat. It is believed that intel-
ligence of the movement of a large body of in.
fantry, designed by General 11. E. Lee to cut off the
Federals from the Rappahannock, had suddenly
reached them. Be this as it may, nothing could
exceed the precipitate disorder of their retreat.
Various designs, such as a descent upon Gordons-
ville or Charlottesville, or some point of the Vir-
ginia Central Railroad, have been imputed to them.
As it is, but for the accidental and irreparable loss
which the Confederates have sustained in Major
Pelham, there would have been little occasion to
waste ten words upon so feeble and abortive an
attempt to lift the curtain of the bloody drama of
1863.

LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.
(Before the Lord Chief Justi3e and Justices Crompton,
Blackburn, and Mellor.)
COL. DICKSON V. GEN. PEEL AND OTHERS.
The Attorney-General said he appeared to show cause
against a rule obtained by Mr. Coleridge, on the part of the
plaintiff, agast the defendan s, Gen. Peel, Lord Comber-
mere, and the Earl of Wilton, as to certain interrogatories
which it was sought to compel Gen. Peel to answer. The
learned gentleman said, in the year 1858, the plaintiff was
lieutenant-colonel of the Tower Hamlets Militia, and the
defendant was then Secretary at War. In that year certain
complaints were made against Colonel Dickson to
General Peel, and as the regiment had been dis-
embodied more than one year, according to the Mutiny
Act, no court-martial could be held, but General Peel
directed a court of inquiry to assemble, and in obedience to
the finding of the court, Colot.el Dickson was dismissed her
Majesty's service. He then brought the present action
which had been pending for some time against the three
defendants charging them with conspiracy, or with that
which amounted to it, as he asserted it was in consequence
of the malicious representations made to her Majesty by the
three defendants, that he had been dismissed the service,
Ile case had long been ripe for hearing when an
application was made on the part of the plaintiff,
at Judges' chambers, to put certain interrogatories
to General Peel with a view of eliciting certain infor-
mation, The questions in all amounted to seventeen, but
some of them were struck out by the learned judge, and a
rule had been obtained to show cause why questions 11,
13, and 14 should not be restored. He contended that
General Peel was altogether justified in refusing to answer
questions, because the plaintiff would elicit quite sufficient
information by those interrogatories which had been allowed
to stand by the learned judge to enable him to go on with
his case.

THE PRINCE AND PRINCESS OF WALES

Their Royal Highnesses entered the house this evening
shortly after five o'clock. The Princess of Wales occupied
a seat in the gallery over the throne, and his Royal High-
ness took his usual seat on the front cross behch.
CORRUPT PRACTICES AT ELE.3rIONS BILL.
Earl RUSSELL moved the committal of this bill, and
in doirg so entered into an explanation of its provisions,
which provided that in the event of boroughs being found
guilty of extensive bribery the writ might be suspended for
five years, and also gave very stringent powers where in-
dividual cases were to be dealt with.

The Earl of DERBY thought the whole bill would prove
totally useless withou a clause similar to the suggestion of
the noble earl (Grey) opposite respecting bribery was in-
serted. He objected to the clause which gave the House of
Commons the power of suspewiing the issuing of a writ for
five years, as that was virtually disfranchising the place.
Lord REDESDALE also objected to that clause, and
hoped it would be expunged.
After a short discussion the house went into committee
on the bill.
Clause 1 was agreed to. _ _

Lord LYVEDEN moved the insertion of a clause which
disqualified all persons from voting who had been engaged
at a salary as agent, messenger, or in any other capacity for
one month previous to such election.
Their lordships divided, when there appeared--

SWITZERLAND.

BERNE, MAY 8.
The Federal Council, in reply to the English note
inviting it to support the steps of England at St.
Petersburg in favour of Poland, has stated tnat it
is impossible for it to take this invitation into con-
sideration.

The Emir Abd-el-Kader relates the following
anecdote ;—A man of noble family of the ()std.
helif, setting out for Mecca, started in company with a
few friends who wished to do him honour. He was riding
a blo•d mare, still in the possession of the family. Sud-
denly she stumbled, and to punish her he gave her a smart
cut with his bridle end, which put her in such a strata of
agitation that for minutes she did nothing but rear and
jump about from right to left. On his return from Mecca
he rode the same animal, and the friends who had accom-
panied him on his departure went forth to meet him and
give him welcome. Scarcely had they reached the spot
where the mare was beaten than she began to rear and
caper about, going through absolutely the same movements
as on the day she was struck. Every one was astonished
at this proof of extraordinary memory in as animal that had
preserved for a whale year the recollection of a punishment,
and of the place where she received it.—.Daumas' Horses
