VISIT OF THE PRINCE AND PRINCESS OF
WALES TO HALIFAX —Yesterday morning, at a
Zaeeting in committee of the Halifax Town Council, his
Worship the Mayor, Mr John Crossley, stated that his
Regal Highness the Prince of Wales had been pleased to
l'ignify his intention of being present at the opening of the
ilalifax new Town-hall. It was further stated that on the
occasion of the visit the Prince would be accompanied by
her Royal Highness the Princes,' of Wales. The council in
committee then proceeded to make arrangements for the
Royal visit. The Prince and Princess will, we believe, be
the guests of his Worship, the Mayor, at Manor-heath,
near Halifax. The precise day of the visit is not yet fixed,
but it will be in the last week of July of the present year.
The new Town-hall which his Royal Highness will open
has been built from designs by the late Sir Charles Barry,
and is, we understand, Sir Charles Barry's last public un-
dertaking.

VISIT OF THE PRINCE AND PRINCESS OF
WALES TO SCOTLAND.—The Prime and Princess of
Wales (says the Aberdeen Journal) are expected at Aber.
geldie Castle about the end of July ; and the Queen, after
spending some time in Germany, will probably return to
Balmoral about a month later.

LEAPING OUT OF A TRAIN.—Oa Monday after-
moon a passenger, who had taken a ticket at Bath-
gate lay the 5 p.m. train for Ratho, intending to re-book
there for Glasgow by the train which leaves Edinburgh at
-5 15 p.m., neglected, through sleep or inadvertence, to quit
the train on its arrival at Ratho, and, on discovering his
Mistake, when the train had reached within half a mile of
131.°Rar station, he hastily opened the door of the compart-
Ment of which he was then the sole occupant, and leaped
'out while the train was running at a great speed. The part
of the line at which he leaped is bounded by a stone wall,
against which he was thrown with much force, and the
guard having reported what had occurred on hie arrival at
Gogar, the engine was immediately detached and sent back
to the scene of the accident. The unfortunate man was
thus brought speedily into Edinburgh, and removed to the
Royal Infirmary, where his injuries were found to be of so
seriousa a character as to place his life in considerable

LONDON AND NORTH WESTERN RAI

Yesterday morning a Wharneliffe meeting of this
company was held at the Euston-square station, for the
purpose of considering a bill for authorising a lease of the
undertaking of the company of proprietors of the Lancaster
Canal Navigation to the London and North Western Rail-
way Company, and for other purposes—Mr. Dean in the
chair. The chairman said he had to apologise to those
present for the trouble given them in coming to the meeting,
but it was a matter which did not depend upon the directors
or upon the secretary of the company. The bill had refer-
ence to the Lan.;aster and Carlisle matters. The preamble
had been proved, but the clauses had not yet been settled,
therefore he proposed that the meeting be adjourned until
June 18th. A resolution in accordance with the chairman's
suggestion was carried, and th,...4 proceedings terminated.

ASSAULT ON AN ENGLISIIWOMAN IN PARIS."--A
curious case was tried on Wednesday in Paris by a
w
law, which does away with the delays which seem inherentne
to law throughout the world, and decrees that those taken
in flagrante delicto be tried immediately. This crime was
committed on the night of the 7th, and was judged today.
A young English lady, not knowing one word of French,
arrived by the train from Havre. She had a written ad-
dress, " Mrs. Brown, Rue des Grands Augustins," which
she handed to the driver of a cab which she hailed at the
station. The coachman, instead of driving towards the
place indicated, took a directly opposite course, and, having
arrived at the Parc Monceaux—a district just now suffer-
ing severely from the chronic attack of improvement which
rages throughout Paris jumped down, opened the door,
uf
and
brutally assaulted the young Englishwoman. She,
however, made an effective resistance, and escaped from
the r

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT—This Day.

NE W COURT.
(Before the Recorder.)
Benjamin Everett, who was found guilty on Tuesday of
receeiving a quantity of leather well knowing it to have
been stolen, and whose case was referred to yesterday in
the Sun, was this morning placed before the learned judge
for sentence.
His lordship, after remarking at some length on the evil
results likely to follow from such conduct as that of the
prisoner, sentenced him to 15 years' penal servitude.
The case of James Snoada Lawes, who was indicted for
infringing the bankrupt laws, was then proceeded with.
Mr. Giffard having addressed the jury for the prisoner,
His lordship summed up, and the jury, after an absence
of two hours, returned a verdict of not guilty.

LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day,

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.
(Before Mr. Justice Byles.)
IVEBBE V. TUE DRAMATIC COLLEGE.

This was an action brought for the recovery of a sum of
money alleged by the plaintiff to be due to him for work
performed.
The plaintiff was engaged by the council of the Dramatic
College to erect a number of houses at Woking, which were
to form the residences of aged and decayed actors, and which
were to be known as the Dramatic College. After the work
had proceeded some time the Council felt dissatisfied with the
manner in which it was being performed, and ultimately
the arrangement with the plaintiff was brought to a con-
clusion, and then a bill to a very large amount was sent to
the Council by him for extra expenses. The Council re-
fused to pay the amount, and the present action was brought
to compel them to do so.
After the plaintiff's case had proceeded for some time, a
consultation took place between the learned counsel engaged
in the case, and it was ultimately decided that the question
between the plaintiff and the Council of the College should
be settled by arbitration.
The Jury, then, by direction of the learned judge, re-
turned a verdict for the plaintiff for the amount claimed,
subject to a reference.

COURT OF DIVORCE.
(Before the Judge Ordinary.)
MARWICK V. MARWICK.

This was a petition presented by the wife against her
husband praying for a judicial separation.
The plaint ff alleged that she had been subject to ill-
usage from respondent for a considerable time. He used
to Kick and beat her, and his ill-usage was very frequently
increased owing to his habits of intoxication.
The court decreed a rule nisi.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.)
IN RE ALLCOCK.

This bankrupt was described as of Shoreham, near Seven-
oaks, Kent, and this was a meeting for last examination
and discharge. _ _

The debts were £5,070 and the assets were only £lB9.
The principal debt is due to a Mr. Crampton for £4,579,
on an overdrawn account in 1860 and 1861, the bankrupt
having taken a sub-contract on the London, Dover, and
Chatham Railway, which he alleged he was unable to carry
out from insufficiency of means.
Mr. Lawrance said that Mr. Crampton was not in the
least unfriendly to the bankrupt, who had undertaken s
contract beyond his strength. _

His Henour (to the bankrupt)—How long have you
been in business ?

Bankrupt—Twenty-six years.
His Honour said that the bankrupt had taken the con.
tract without means—he had not, however, been bankrupt
or insolvent before, and might, therefore, take his dis.
charge.
