plaintiff said that be bad been for three years a clerk
in the Bank of England, but he left that employment,
and two or three years after he came of age he was
insolvent, his debts being about £1,700. He also
admitted that he had forged a cheque for £l5, and
had obtained £3 upon it from the proprietor of a
night house in the neighbourhood of the Haymarket.
The plaintiff said that he committed the forgery
when he was drunk, and had no recollection of the
circumstances. It teemed that the litigation, in refer-
ence to which the plaintiff had assisted the defendant,
consisted of three actions, which were referred to
arbitration. The nature of the actions was that
the plaintiff sued a person named Pugh for £350,
and another person named Spiers for £150; both
sums due for money lent ; whilst on the other blind
Pugh sued the defendant for " commission" for in-
troducing to him a Miss Dermot. The sum claimed
was £1,200, and the commission was calculated
upon the basis of an alleged agreement that the
defendant should give Pugh half the amount of
money, which he should obtain from Miss Dermot
by way of gilt or loan. Tne defendant's version of
his connection pith Miss Dermot was, that about
three years ago he met her "promiscuously," and
was not introduced to her by Pugh. The acquain-
tance was broken off, but was afterwards re-
newed and they cohabited togeter, although the
defendant had at the time a wife and family.
Miss Dermot gave him £2,500 to set up in busi-
ness, and he had also had of her about £2,000 in
addition.

His Lordship, in summing up, went carefully
through the evidence, and directed the jury to con-
sider which set of evidence they gave credence to.
The jury, after considering the matter for half an
hour, found a verdict for the defendant.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SlR,—The deep sympathy which has been universally
manifested in the sufferings of the people of Lancashire,
and the many efforts made by pecuniary contributions to
mitigate their distress, deserve the most heartfelt gratitude
from those who have participated in such kindness. The
sufferings of the operatives, caused by the want of employ-
ment, are still moat acute, and none but those who have
witnessed them can adequately realise their intensity.
Many have had to break up their little households, and
take lodgings to save expense, and some have been com-
pelled to part with valuable furniture to provide them with
the necessary requirements of life. It is not possible to
conjecture as to how many of these noble sufferers of
poverty may be yielding to the influence of despondency ;
but, certain it is, that there is no prospect at present that
their circumstances will be materially improve i in this
country, and, therefore, many have decided to emigrate if
facilities are offered them.

Now, the subject of emigration is very important, and
has occupied the attention of the public mind for some
months past. Our colonies in Australia present a bound-
less field of labour at a remunerative value ; and the ques-
tion is. whether it is not better, and more economical, to
transplant a portion of our distressed operatives upon the
soil of some of our colonies than to keep them at home in
idleness, in the faint hope that shortly they will be able to
resume their former occupations. With the view of assist-
ing such operatives as are qualified and willing to labour
in securing a living in our Australian colonies, the " Lanca-
shire Emigration Society" has been formed, the object of
which is to collect funds, and to administer them in secur-
ing free passages, and providing other necessary require-
ments.

On behalf of the " Lancashire Emigration Society," I
earnestly appeal for contributions, which will be thankfully
received and duly acknowledged. Let the cry for " help"
which comes from the homes of the destitute and afflicted
of these districts meet with an earnest response. How it
would cheer many a depressed spirit and gladden naany a
sorrowing heart if such assistance could be rendered in this
hour of our country's special need.

Again—l appeal to your sympathies—may I rely upon
your help ? Delay not—the cause is urgent, the demand
just remain, yours faithfully,
GEORGE ASHWORTH.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.

(Sittings at Nisi Prius in Middlesex.—Before Mr.
Justice Williams and a Common Jury.)

DYER T. BRODIE--ALLEGED IMPROPER DISMISSAL.
SINGULAR CASE.

This was an action to recover damages for an
alleged improper dismissal from the defendant's
service, and also to recover money claimed to be due
for work done.

Mr. Hawkins, Q.C., and Mr. Kenealy appeared
for the plaintiff; and Mr. Sergeant Ballantine and
Mr. Pearce for the defendant.

The defendant in the case was formerly in the
army, but subsequently carried on business as a
military outfitter in Princes-street, Hanover-square.
In the spring of last year he met the plaintiff at the
corner of Coventry-street, Haymarket, and soon
afterwards he employed him and paid him £2 ss.
a week. The p'aintiff's work seemed to be a com-
bination of the duties of clerk and messenger. The
employment continued until Oct. 18, when it wase
terminated by the defendant in consequence ottssboomth

the evidence was very contradictory;

one occasion he had paid £3B to get the plaintiff out
of the hands of a sheriff's officer.

In addition to the statements of the parties to the
suit, there was evidence on both sides in corrobora-
tion of what had been said.

g‘ GUGLIELMO TELL."

Last evening " William Tell" was produced for
the first time this season, and with all that gran-
deur and completeness which have so deservedly
stamped its performance as one of the most signal
achievements of the theatre. The band, the chorus,
the mice en scene, and much of its special execution
still sustain the memorable impression of its revival
two years since, and raise a doubt whether this
opera, the greatest work of a great composer, was
ever rendered on the whole so perfectly under any
other roof. The chorus was especially ad-
mirable, and among its many opportunities in
this broadly-constructed work left no point
of merit untouched—from the lovely chant of
the shepherds in the second act to the kind-
ling vigour and character of the music of the
Meeting of the Cantons, the culminating burst of
which, " All armi," was one of the most electrical
that we ever remember to have heard. The band
also was superb, and gave the overture particularly
with a discriminating energy which could not fail
of a re-demand. M. Faure was again the Tell, a
character which he sings and acts with a perfection
that removes it from all comparison at present;
and Herr Formes was again the Walter, and lent
the unequalled aid of his rugged bearing and noble
voice to the trio of the second act.
Two novelties contributed to the attraction of the
evening—the first appearance of Madlle. Marie
Battu, in the character of Mathilde, and the debut
of Signor Caffieri in the character of Arnold. The
pleasing voice, the careful method, and the agree-
able appearance of the young lady, have lost none
of the good effect which they produced in the past
season, and served to sustain her through the
ordeal of Mathilde with considerable efficiency.
Her " Selva Opaco" especially was a very pleasing
effort. The severer test of the gentleman was
scarcely so decisive. To assume the greatest cha-
racter of one of the greatest of living singers will
be thought by many a boldness that only the very
highest talent could justify. It is but due to
Signor Caffieri to say he was not insensible to such
a fact, and displayed a nervousness at the attempt,
which probably deprived him of half of his power.
His voice is high and resonant, and he exerts it
with much energy, but with a tendency to excess,
which, presuming it was caused by a first appear
ance, compels us to defer to another h( aring any
opinion of his claims, whether lyric or histrionic
The house was very full, and the general satisfac-
tion very great.
On Tuesday next a grand festival entertainment
will be given at this theatre, by command of her
Majesty, on which occasion their Royal Highnesses
the Prince and Princess of Wales will be present.

GREECE

Mr. B. COCHRANE inquired of the noble lord the
First Lord of the Treasury whether any satisfactory Intel-
ligence had been received as to the acceptance of the throne
of Greece by Prince William of Denmark ; and whether
the Government had been asked to guarantee the loan ?
Lord PALMERSTON replied that he could not say that
the communicaticns with Prince William had been quite
brought to a conclusion, but he had the best reason to be-
lieve that the conclusion of the negotiations wonld prove
satisfactory by his acceptance of the throne. (Hear, hear.)
The other part of the question related to a pecuniary ar-
rangement, a matter of detail, and at the present moment
he could not say what might be done in that respect.
(Laughter and cheers.)
INCOME TAX.

Sir J. FERGUSSON asked the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer wbether there was an intention of altering the
existing machinery by which the assessment for the income
tax is imposed ; and, if not, whether that assessment would
in future be made under all the schedules by the local
authorities F

The CHANCELLOR of His EXCHEQUER replied
;hat no alteration was intended in the machinery by which
this tax was inforced.

HOLYHEAD PACKET STATION.

Col. DUNNE asked the Secretary to the Admiralty
when the returns ordered as to the Holyhead Packet
Station, and correspondence with the Dublin Steam
Packet Company, would be laid upon the table of the
house ; and, whether anything would be done, and when,
to carry out the promised alterations in Holyhead pier, for
the purpose of securing the safety of the mail packets, and
the passengers landing from them.

M. GIBSON replied that the correspondence was
naarly ready and would be shortly produced. The piles
had been driven, and a new structure would be constituted
for the one that bad been abandoned.

THE UGLIEST SIGHT IN EUROPE.

[From the current Noof Punch (April 25, 1863)
we extract the following capital ki kit upon a pro-
jycted Vandalism. A Vandalism that after this
crashing blow from Mr. Punch's baton, we take it,
will hardly now be ventured upon by its projectors.
--ED. SVN.]
The subjoined passage, extracted from a City Article in
the Times, is recommended to the consideration of PatliA-
went :

"A large deputation of the inhabitants of Lildgate-hill
and its vianity has waited on the Chief Commissioner of
Public Works to ascertain if there is any poss bility of the
Government preventing the London, Chatham, and
Dover Rail way from making the proposed bridge
over Ludgate-hill, a nuisance which, in front of
St. Paul's, would constitute a national disgrace far worse
than that of the 'iideous construction which has already
been allowed to spoil the Southwark approach to London-
bridge. Unfortunately, the unanimous feeling of the r.si-
dents, as well as the public upon the matter, was not dis-
covered until after Ella passing
.ul the bill, which now gives
the company power to take their own course, and to there-
gard any opposition."
The late Mr. Daniel O'Connell used to boast that he
could drive a coach-and-six through any Act of Parlia-
ment. if ever there was an Act of Parliament through
which it was desirable that a coach-and-six should be
driven, such an Act is this for throwing. a frightful railway
bridge over the Ludgate-hill cam Igo way. It must surely
be safe r, if nut easier, to drive a eoach with any number of
horses through an act of Parliament than to drive a pony-
phaeton under a viaduct over which a train is rushing and
roaring above a crowded thoroughfare. Parliament, in the
interest of railway companies, perpetually sanctions the
violation of the mast sacred rights of individuals for the
benefit of the public. It might just as well, and a great
deal better, gratify the public at the expense of a railway
company. Why should it not summarily repeal the per-
mission which, during the sleep or absence of every one
of its members endowed with an eye that can feel an
eyesore, or indeed with any sensibility above that of a
hog, it has given a society of sordid money-grubbers
to perpetuate an atrocious Vandalism ? The interpo-
sition of an unsightly screen on Ludgate-hill, beneath the
eye and St. Paul's, is a brutality which will take its place
among the ridiculous wonders of the world. It will render
us deservedly the laughing-stock of Europe. The London,
Chatham, and Dover Railway was made for the public, and
not the public for the London, Chatham, anti Dover Rail-
way. The Legislature has stultified itself; very well; let
it destultify itself; if necessary, by making the London,
Chatham, and Dover Railway an example to all railways,
teaching them to mind how they contrive surreptitiously to
procure any bill empawering them to perpetrate a monstrous
public nuisance. Would not that nuisance be indictable as
such by any neighbouring resident, whose comfort it would
destroy ?

Captain Alexander Ramsay, of Morne Park, near Newry,
formerly in the 42d Highlanders, brought this action to
vindicate his character from charges of the most unfounded
character that had been cast upon it by the defendant,
Captain Stewart, also formerly an offirer in the same regi-
ment. The defendant married some years since a Miss
Frazer, the sister of a Captain Frazer, who was an officer
in the 42d Highlanders, and they were in India to-
gether. The defendant was =known to the plainliff
till July last, when he came to Packolet, the seat of
General Chesney, during his absence, to forcibly carry away
hie wife. Packolet wag near to Morne Park, and General
Chesney and his wifo had asked the plaintiff to protect Mrs.
Stewart from her husband's violence should it be necessary,
and he promised them to do so ; and it was in consequence
of that interference that the libels complained of were
Written. The first libel complained of was to the following
effect In consequence of the gross outrage I suffered
Yesterday from you I lose not one moment in placing myself
ig the hands of a friend ; and it now becomes my painful
duty to express to you, for which no doubt you are pre-
pared, that your conduct was that of a coward, a violation of
the usages of society, and unbecoming the character of a
113 an of honour and a gentleman, and that if necessary you
shall be denounced and branded as such by me on all occa-
Fons. You will therefore please communicate with me
under cover to Mr. Hart, 32, Hollies-street, Merrion-square,

The action arose through the quarrels of husband and
Wife, the friends of the latter placing her under the protec-
tion of a third party. The wife yesterday said she left her
husband through his ill-usage, and he this morning stated
that he had the most right to complain of the treatment he
he had received from her friends and relatives.
Z3so.The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff. Damages,

His Holiness, according to the dlrmonia, during
the Present nonth will hold a Consistory for the
irP"° of preconisir g the French Bishops nominated by

has never been in such good health as at the present
time.

DISGRACEFUL SCENES AT THE NEW ROSS ELEC-
TION.—The Rev.
Convent, who has been confined to bed for a long time, was
i
death-like appearance created a strong
abrvoasugtht
almost multitudedown to
avcoct
sen-
sation.
On his arrival at the sessions-house the
wasted,
high sheriff
and staff took the books outside, ab the chair could not be
got into the building. After recording his vote for Mr.
M'Kenna, the rev, gentleman was carried
back to the con-
vent. The excitement was now
M‘lienna' ' •at its full height. Mr.
s principal supporters proceeded to thehouse of the
Rev. D. Kenny, P.P,
, the entrance to which is in the chapel
yard. The Rev. Mr. Neville and the Rev. Mr. Sinnott, two
of the curates, were inside along with the parish priest. The
visit of Mt .M‘lier.na's
clergy supporters
to come
was made for thepurpose of
asking the parochial and vote, and thereby
turn the majority in favour of Mr. M'Kenna. A large
excited crowd assembled
in the chapel-yard. The door was
knocked at repeatedly and loudly, but none of the rev.
gentlemen came to the door. A scene such as never was
equaliled in New Ross then ensued. The women went to
the front windows and poured abuse, execrations, and male-
dictions on the clergy. It was agrecd to stop dues and all
manner of incomes from them. Though the knocker of the
door had been used by the gentlemen in a manner sufficient
to disturb the nerves of the most somnolent, but without
effect, so far es inducing the clergymen to come out, yet
there were others who thought good would come from
knocking, and to it they tell, kicking, leaping at it, and
pushing it until the door was smashed to pieces, and then
in rushed the godly and patriotic. Some collared the
Rev. Mr. Neville up against the wall, and others thought to
force their way up the stairs, where the Rev. D. Kenny was
obliged to stand on his defence as best he could, and to try
to stem the current of what one who ought to be a judge
characterised as fiends. The police arrived, chapel rev.
gentlemen were extricated. After this the doors
were closed, not to allow the continuance of such conduct
within sight of the altar. All this conduct was brought
about because the Rev. D. Kenny would not break a pro-
mise that he had made, that he would not vote for or take
any part with either of the candidates at the present election.
The Rev. W. Neville remained for some time walking i
front of the chapel, where he had to endure hearing the ob
servations of many not the most reputable in town IV

.~.

Major-Gen. Stransham, Inspector-General of the
Royal Marines, has been engaged at Portsmouth for
the past week in inspecting the two divisions quar-
tered there, the artillery division, unaer the com-
mand of Col. Taite, and the light infantry, under
Ccl. Ayles. The Major-General appears to have
been well pleased with the artillery division, but in
his address, to the light infantry division he in-
formed them that they were not in such good
order as they had been last year at the two last in-
spections.
The screw steam troopship Himalaya, Capt. Ed-
ward Lacy, from Dover, which arrived at Plymouth
on \Venesday last, being unfit to convey artillery-
men to Ireland, as first intended, was on Friday
taken from the Sound by the tugs Zephyr and
Prospero, and is now alongside the,hulk Endymion
in Hamoaze, where her defects will be made good.
The paddlewheel steam sloop Virago, 6, Com-
mander Johnstone, having been repaired and re-
fitted, made an experimental trip outside Plymouth
breakwater on Friday, and is now at anchor in the
Sound, waiting orders from the Lords of the Ad-
miralty.
The following appointments were made at the Admiralty
yesterday :—.
