IMPORTANT TO LANDLORDS.-SCARD V. MARSH.

This was an action to recover one quarter's rent,
Mr. Buchanan, for defendant, put in receipts (one of
which was for a quarter's rent), and contended that as
plaintiff had been paid beforehand surely he could not re-
cover, but in looking at the receipt it was discovered that
the money was to remain in hand, and his Honour ruled
that although there might not be any mention in the agree-
ment of the money to remain in hand, yet plaintiff and
defendant could make a bargain about it independently of
the agreement; therefore plaintiff will have a verdict with
costs,

POLICE-TRIS DAY.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

PROVIDING A SUNDAY'S DINNER.—Ann Kemp, a
dissipated• looking woman, was charged with stealing a
piece of beef from the shop of Mr. Wm. Jeffery, butcher,
Foubert's-place, about 10 o'clock this morning.
Charles Bush, assistant to Mr. Jeffery, said the prisoner
went up to the marble slab in front of the shop, took up the
piece of beef, placed it under her shawl, and was walking
off, when he went up to her and told her that she had
better put the meat back, or give it up to him. She denied
having it, and he then gave her into custody.
Wm. Boden, messenger of the court, said while standing
at the door of the court the last witness spoke to him, and
on moving the prisoner's shawl on one side he saw the
meat under her arm. He then gave the prisoner, wheniade
no remark, ovar to 66 C.
Prisoner said distress had caused her to do it.

Mr. Mansfield, who sat for Mr. Tyrwhitt, said distress
would not cause her to steal a piece of meat like that before
him. If she had stolen a penny roll there might then have
appeared some probability in the story. If she was in dis-
tress she should have gone to the parish. It was much
more likely that she, took it for the purpose of getting
drink. He should commit her for three months with hard
labour. -

AN IMP ORT ANT DISCUSSION.—The
"Times," the "Lancet," and other leading journals
have been lately canvassing the social considerations in-
volved in " the amount of death and disease caused by vice."
Some interesting statistics are brought to bear upon the
inquiry but it would greatly add to their value if they in-
eluded the facts respecting the origin, the ravages, and the
prevention of that SPECIAL VICE. which wars more than any
other against the welfare of society—destroying the happi-
ness and disappointing the objects of matrimony. under-
mining the constitutions, blasting the prospects, embittering
and shortening the lives of its victims, and spreading desola-
tion through families.
The particulars relating to this great social evil
(the besetting essential
gslnare of inexperienced youth and the curse of
maturity), together with ample instructions for removing its
effects, and recovering health, vigour, and all the ennobling
privileges of our being.

IWe have it on the authority of the Prime Minis-
ter himself that our Volunteers are now 160,000
strong. Young men, for the most part, or in the
manhood. And those 160,000 are no
prime of

longer Ili,'
of them
capital shots and admirably well dis-
ciplined. The movement out of which these National
have sprung forth so rapidly as
Guards of England
auxiliaries to the
regular military force, distributed
throughout the united
Kingdom, was emphatically
but by no means extravagantly spoken of on Thurs-
down at Northampton,
day by Lord PALmERsViN
as "one of the most honourable that has ever taken
place in any country." This—from the Prime Minis•
ter of England,when addressing himself to the local
Volunteers, the officers and men of the 4th and sth
Corps of Northamptonshire Riflemen I "You are
10 ,0
now, I believe," said the noble viscount," 1.60,000
strong, all ready
yourselves if occasion occurs to distinguish
0
as nobly as any of the troops of the line,
with whom you I hope
would fight in commoo•
that occasion may never occur,although on that
point
lam afraid many differ from me, because I think
you want an opportunity of showing your patriotism
and your loyalty to your Queen and country. You are
the means of being a tower of strength to the throne,
although no foreign ruler should have an opportu-
nity of putting your valour to the test. You are a
security to the country of which you are so great an
honour." Coming from the lips
of our veteran
Premier, these words will go direct to
the hearts
not only of the particular body of riflemen Lord
PALMERSTON was addressing on Thursday, but
to those of all the various corps now organised
in all parts of the land. They are the most
encouraging. assurances that have perhaps
any where been addressed, as yet, to our volunteers.
And while they possess that value and that impor-
tance, they are fraught with interest in a wholly
different point of view, as constituting at the same
time an admirable illustrative comment upon the
energetic policy so long sustained by our patriotic

SHERIFFS' COURT.
(Before Mr. Joyce.)
017E1017S CASE or ADVERTISING FOP. A PARTNER-SALTER

V. WOOD.

This was an action to recover £25 for obtaining defen-
dant a partner, or a person willing to advance £5OO,
Mr. Buchanan, for the plaintiffs, said his clients were
proprietors of a monthly circular, and it came to their
knowledge that defendant wanted a partner with capital,
or a person who would advance £5OO. Plaintiffs commu-
nicated with a Mr. Freeman, oF. Manchester, who having
entered into a negociation with defendant, said the concern
would not stilt him, but Freeman subsequently mentioned
the matter to a Mr. Fibbs,' who advanced the money.
Under these circumstances plaintiffs considered themselves
entitled to the usual commission, they being in fact the
real causes of the introduction to Fibbs.
After hearing plaintiffs' evidence,

Mr. Way, for the defendant, urged:that plaintiffs could not
recover, as they had done nothing whatever as regarded
Fibbs. Mr. Freeman, it was said, had mentioned the sub-
ject to Fibbs, but plaintiffs surety could not claim for that.
His Honour ruled that as it was through the plaintiffs
instrumentality that Fibbs was really introduced, that is to
say, in consequence of the subject matter having been men-
tioned by Freeman, who had originally been in negotiation
through plaintiffs means, plaintiffs were entitled to their
commission.
Verdict for plaintiffs, with costs.

LATEST NEWS.

TURIN, SEPT, 5.

The companions of Garibaldi who disembarked
with him at Spezzia were conveyed last night to
Fenestrelle.

Some Garibaldians, disbanded after the conflict
at Aspromonte, have been taken. Others have
voluntarily surrendered to the authorities.
The Gazetta di Torino of to-day says:—
" The Ministry wishes Garibaldi to be tried by
a military tribunal, but, foreseeing the possibility
of such a tribunal declaring itself incompetent, it
has submitted the question to a conference of the
Procureurs-General."

The official Gazette publishes a bulletin of the
health of Garibaldi, which states that the ball has
penetrated the ankle joint and fractured the right
tibial malleolus. Inflammation has set in, bat there
are no alarming symptoms.

GENOA, SEPT, 5.

A bulletin has been issued to-day by the physi-
cians attending upon Garibaldi, stating that the
general symptoms exhibited by their patient are
very satisfactory.
The Movimento of to-day publishes a report of
the physician who is in attendance on Garibaldi,
according to which, up to 3 o'clock yesterday, the
sufferings of the General were not very acute. The
patient was calm, bnt rather feverish. His appetite

was good.
The wound of Menotti Garibaldi is not very

serious.

The report of the death of Missori has been eon

tradicted.
The Royal Princes arrived this morning at Genoa

MESSINA, SEPT. 4, EVENING.
The state of public feeling in this city is excel
lent.

A column of Garibaldians, commanded by Traselli,
were surprised yesterday morning by a battalion
of the 65th Regiment of the line, and lost their
arms, baggage, and 90 prisoners, among whom
were a major, a captain, 10 offieers and six deserters
from the Royal troops. The latter were shot.

The remainder of the Garibaldians were met by
a battalion of the 45th Regiment, which took 80
more of them prisoners.
Traselli then sent a flag of truce, giving his
word of honour that the column should lay down
their arms and disperse within 48 hours.

NAPLES, SEPT. 4, EVENING.
Yesterday evening 30 prisoners escaped from the
prison of Castel Capuano.
All of them have, however, been recaptured.

VIENNA, SEPT. 5.

On Wednesday last negociations took place at
Cettigne between the Turks and Montenegrins, in
the presence of the Russian Consul. The former
demanded that Montenegro should recognise the
suzerainty of the Porte ; that Mirko should be
removed from the Montenegrin teraitory, and that
the Turkish troops should always be allowed to
march through Spuz and Niksich.
These conditions not being accepted by the Mon-
tenegrins, the march of the Turkish troops to Cet-
tigae will commence to-day.

THE VIGOUR OF YOUTH RESTORED IN
FOUR WEEKS by Dr. RICORD'S ESSENCE OF
LIFE.
This wonderful agent will restore manhood to the most
shattered constitution, whether arising from self-pollution,
excesses, nocturnal emissions, the effects of climate, or natu-
ral causes. The time required to cure the most inveterate
ease is four weeks ; and, if used according to the printed in-
structions (which are very simple). failure is impossible.
This life-restoring remedy should be taken by all about to
marry, as its effects are permanent. It is acknowledged by
fhe medical press to be the greatest discovery ever made.
Success in every case is as certain as that water quenches
thirst _ _

Dr. Ri °or d' s Essence of Life is sold in cases, with fall in-
structions for use, at ne., or four quantifies in one for 335.,

MURDEROUS ASSAYLT.—OIiver Benson, a German sea-
man, was brought before Mr. Selfe charged with commit-
ting a savage assault on Frances Herbert, a woman of the
town, who is now under medical treatment in the London
Hospital, and in a very precarious condition.
Grunfield, a police-constable of the K division, said—l
was on duty in High-street, Shadwell, this morning at an
early hour, and heard cries of murder and police proceed-
ing from the house No. 3, Brewer-street. I went there,
and found a woman named Herbert bleeding profusely from
wounds on the head. She said the prisoner had beaten her
with a sling-shot, which he did not deny, and said elle
wanted to rob him.

The prisoner--I did not hit her with a sling-shot; it was
with mine fist.

Mr. Selfe—You could not have inflicted the wounds on
her head as described in the medical certificate, with your
fist.

Grunfield produced the sling shot, a most dangerous
weapon, and capable of inflicting most serious, if not fatal,
wounds, These deadly instruments, composed of closely
twisted white cord, and loaded at one of the ends,
with lead, are carried by many ruffians and foreigners, and
their use has lately become a nuisance. The policeman
said he found the "sling shot " near the door of the room
in which the affray took place.

The prisoner, in defence, said he came hero in a Bremen
ship and that the woman Herbert after inveipl;,,
• U u►m, LULU s?ruck him, and he struck
her again.

Mr. Selfe—With that sling shot. You are remanded for
a week.

AN IMPUDENT THIEF..Sarah Humbly, aged 22, who
gave her address No. 6, Elizabeth-terrace, Commercial-
road, was brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with stealing
a mohair dress from the shop of Mr. Charles Misslebrook,
draper, of No. 9, Crisp-street, Poplar, and also with steal-
ing a coat, the property of some person unknown.
George Brooks, assistant to the prosecutor, stated that he
saw the prisoner take a mohair dress, measuring 9 yards,
from the door of his master's shop, and give it to her brother,
who ran away with the property.
Mr. Selfe—How do you know it was her brother ?
Witness—The prisoner said the youth who was with her
was her brother, He would not wait for a policeman. (A
laugh.)
Mr. Selfe—l should think not.

Witness—And he would not let me catch him.
(Laughter.)

Mr. Selfe—He was too swift for you.
Henry Pitus, a police-constable, No. 185 K, said, the
prisoner was given into custody, and he found a new coat
upon her. She refused to say whero she obtained it or to
whom it belonged.

Mr. Selfe asked the prisoner if she had any defence to
make. She made no answer, and the magistrate directed
the police-constable who had charge of the case to make
inquiries after the lad called her brother, and obtain an
owner for the coat, if possible.

DESPERATE CONFLICT BETWEEN A

.MAN AND A DOG.

uanhd jovial
A few evenings ago a number of young men of a
toCork, a
lic
class in life a little above the labourer, were enjoy-
ing themselves in one of the shady bowers attached

rf
was not going round in the ordinary quiet "pew-
ter," but in gallons and half-gallons.•
Finding,
after partaking of a considerable quantity
of it
that it did not cause that amount of hilarity amongst
them generally consequent upon a liberal imbibi-
tion, they set themselves to discover a pleasure of
a more exciting character. That chosen was wa-
gering, and although many offers were made and
accepted by several, yet there was one which none
of them seemed inclined to take a venture at, and
that extraordinary one was a wager of five half-
gallons of " Sir John's" that no man there would
fight the watch-dog belonging to the public-house
with no means of defence or attack but his hands.
Knowing the fierceness of the dog when aroused, no
one liked to accept the offer. However, after some
time, one young man who fills a situation under a
public company trading from this city accepted the
wager, and all preparations having been made, the
dog was called out. The man began the " sport"
by tantalising him, and the animal gradually grow-
ing maddened under the irritation, sprang at his
assailant and seized him by the left hand. A
struggle that is described as really fearful to wit-
ness then ensued. The dog is large and powerful,
and the young man is of a robust frame and deter-
mined disposition. Finding his left hand almost
altogether in the animal's mouth, he caught him by
the throat to try and make him loosen his
grip, but in this he failed, for the dog only
tightened his teeth on the hand until it was
almost bitten through. He then released his grip,
and attacked the man about the legs, on one side of
which he inflicted a deep and severe wound. The
man caught the dog by both hands round the
throat to try to strangle him, but the dog by sheer
strength forced him upon the ground and com-
menced biting him about the hands in a fearful
manner. The spectators seeing that the " game"
had proceeded far enough, and that there was
danger of the man being killed, rescued him from
the infuriated animal. He had in the encounter
received about 17 wounds, one of which is of a dan-
gerous character, while
.the dog came off almost
unsoathed.—Cork Constitution.

the two co npanies are amalgamated on equal terms. The
Somerset and Dorset Railway will be 65 miles in length,
commencing at Burnham, on the Bristol Channel, and ex-
tending to Wimborne, on the London and South-Western
Railway, the present terminus of the line, which is in-
tended to be carried on to Poole, thus connecting the ports
of the English and Bristol Channels, by a direct and un-
broken route. 15 miles of the line only remain to be opened
for traffic. Of this distance about five miles will be opened
this year, and the remainder in the month of June next.
The total cost of the line, including plant and every requi-
site for working the traffic, will, it is stated, be about
£15,000 per mile.
