If we lose the Mississippi we lose Louisiana,
Arkansas, and Texas, We lose all the sugar, and much of
the stock and grain-growing lands of the Confederacy.
They will be cut off and of no benefit to us. The east will
be severed from the west. A complete possession of all the
territory west of the Mississippi is a physical and moral
essential to our cause. The branches of a mutual com-
merce, of idea, sentiment, trade, and blood are warped to-
gether more closely than the knarled boughs of those kin-
dred forests which stitch a twining brotherhood along our
border line.—Vicksburg Whig (Confederate paper).

COLONIAL.
TEA.—A moderate amount of business has been entered
into, but at public sale prices have exhibited a downward
tendency, inferior descriptions having receded 2d to 3d, and
superior qualities 4d to 6d per lb.
SUQAR.—The market continued dull, and prices in some
instances have slightly given way. Refined descriptions
have also scarcely maintained previous quotations.
COPPER.— For the superior descriptions of colonial there
was a fair demand, but at public sale prices exhibited less
buoyancy. Other quotations remained without material
change in prices.
RICE.—A rather large business has been done, chiefly,
however, for export, prices generally being well maintained.
SALTPETRE.—A few dealings have been recorded in
British refined, at about former quotations.
TALLOW.--The market has been dull, and prices gene-
rally have exhibited a further slight decline, P.Y.C. on the
spot being quoted 469; and for the last three months' de-
livery, 48a 3d to 48s 6d per cwt.

THE TEST AGAINST THE WARRIOR.

Mr. LAIRD asked the Secretary of State for War if the
War-office had decided that the Horafall monster gun
should be tested against the Warrior and other targets, and
if so, when such trial would take place ?
Sir G. LEWIS said that some experiments had been
made relative to the Warrior, but nothing specific had been
decided on the subject.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The Bank of England return, completed to the
28th instant, exhibits some rather unfavourable
features. The bullion has been trenched upon, to
some extent, while the other securities show a con-
siderable addition. In the reserve of notes, how-
ever, there is a slight increase, and the public
deposits have been augmented by the active collec-
tion of the revenue. The various items, and the
changes they present, are shown in the subjoined
table :

to accept the offer of Mr. Hill, to take the business

of 10s. in the pound by instalments, the last to be
secured.

During the last few days less activity prevailed
in the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets. Tea
at public sale has declined about 3d. to 6d. per lb.,
*while sugar and coffee have scarcely sustained pre-
vious quotations. Rice, however, has been in fair
demand at steady rates. Fruit and spices have
remained dull. At the public sales of Spanish
indigo, good and fine qualities have realised an
advance. Saltpetre has continued inactive. Tallow
has been quiet, and prices for both present and
forward delivery have slightly receded.
On the Great Western Railway of Canada the
traffic receipts for the week ending the 16th inst.,
amounted to £8,955 against £7,490 last year.
The traffic receipts of the Ottoman Railway, for
the week ending the 18th inst., exhibited an in-
crease of £72.

Increased activity prevailed in the Liverpool
Cotton market yesterday, and prices were again
rather higher. The sales were 10,000 bales.

The bullion operations at the Bank of England
yesterday were again of an unimportant character.

The Hammonia, from New York, has brought
£38,430 in specie, and the Oneida, from the Brazils,
has arrived at Lisbon with £9,286.

The money market is rather easier, first class
bills being negotiable, today, at 2 per cent., and
the banks and private discount houses exhibit a
greatt,illingness to transact business.
The market for Aixic;pan Securities during the
past week has been moderately active. Messrs. D.
Bell, Son, and Co. state that—" There has been,
during the past week, a good demand for American
Securities generally ; but more particularly for the
United. States Five per Cent. Bonds of 1847, in
which there have been some large transactions."

THE PUNJAB RAILWAY.

The following letter relates to the effect produced
on the population of the Punjab by the recent open-
ing of the railway :
" Sir,--As attention is now directed to the re-
ported political movements in Central Asia, near
our north-western frontier, it may be interesting to

from the line connecting two

and Umritsur, one the seat
the other the sacerdotal and epc i tlal
of the Sikhs, not only great pecuniary results would
at once be shown from the extent of the existingu
traffic, but that the sight of a locomotive actually
at work in that remove region would impress the
inhabitants of the Punjab and neighbouring ccun_
tries with new ideas of our power and resources.
" From official and private letters received by last
mail, it would appear that these expectations are
about being realised in a remarkable manner.
" The conviction appears to be, that not only
India in general will undergo a complete change
through the extension of railways, ' but that more
especially the various nations and races of the Pun-
jab, as well as the semi-barbarous tribes that girdle
its frontier,' will speedily succumb to the civilising
influence of steam, if we may be permitted to augur
such a result from what has been daily witnessed
during the short period in which the railway has
been in operation.
" The natives of all classes and races assembled in
crowds to witness the performance of the locomo-
tive, ' John Lawrence.' Some eagerly contend
for seats in the carriages without regard to the
amount of fare or nature of the accommodation,
while the spectators assume a wonder-struck and
submissive demeanour, as if in the presence of a
superior power, or a race of men against whom, in
future, it would be vain to contend.
" So marked has been the impression on the inha-
bitants of the Punjab, that an additional reason has
been thereby afforded for pressing the extension of
the railway to Delhi as speedily as possible.—l

dressed lilies and roses at the Bell Jardiniere."

The correspondent of the Piesse characterises the
building as heavy, massive, and without grace.
" Ladies," he says, " were present in great numbers
and beauty. Imagine two or three thousand Eng-
lish women in summer dresses, and a similar num-
ber of Englishmen, who are the best combed
people in the creation, and you will have an idea
of the spectacle. For the rest, a half-silence, very
different from that confused buzz which is heard in
all public assemblies at Paris; few words, few
gestures, a grave demeanour, but without stiffness
or awkwardness. Really I have never seen any-
thing more beautiful." The same correspondent is
fully persuaded that the French industry will take
the first rank, although the American war and the
treaty of commerce have prevented French manu-
facturers from devoting much time to the under-
taking. The latter class, moreover, dislike a visit
to London. "It is very costly, and still more
ennuyeux." This, he thinks, is the last International
Exhibition which will be held in London. "At
heart the exhibitors of all nations, the English
excepted, prefer Paris. They are better treated
there; they are not overcharged ; great pains are
taken to attract them. At London this is all re-
versed. The English nation has great qualities ;
it is intelligent, brave, persevering, intrepid, but it
is not hospitable."
The Siecle is more liberal in its praise and admi-
ration than any of its contemporaries. The writer,
however, has slightly misunderstood a portion of
the ceremony. He says, " After Meyerbeer's Over-
ture, specially composed for the occasion—after the
Grand March of Auber, which was hailed with
frantic applause; after a cantata, which was equally
well received ; after a sort of alleluia intoned by
the Bishop of London—the Duke of Cambridge,"
&c. The performance of the " Hallelujah Chorus,"
and the reading of the prayer by the bishop, ap-
pear to have mystified our friend of the Siecle.
The Yemps devotes nearly a page to a description
of the scene. The unfurnished state of the different
departments is a prominent theme of the writer,
and some rumours are given of internal dissen-
sions of which we have heard nothing. The most
imposing part of the ceremony was, it is stated,
the music. The correspondent, however, notices
an omission. "What has been done with the diplomatic
corps ? If I am well informed, the ambassadors are not
very satisfied with the neglect which, to say the least, is
very extraordinary in an international assembly."

ST. JAMES'S.

Another fairy extravaganza was produced last
evening at the above theatre. It is from the pro-
digal pen of Mr. William Brough, and is entitled
" Prince Amabel ; or the Fairy Roses." There is
no necessity for a detailed description either of its
plot or its incidents ; they may be guessed almost
by its title. Of course there is a tyrannical father,
admirably represented by Mr. Frank Matthews, two
ugly daughters, whom he is desirous of marrying, and
one pretty daughter, whom he is equally determined
to prevent from getting married. The former object
he accomplishes, but not the latter; as Prince
Amabel interferes, with the irresistible powers com-
bined of youth, good looks, and a beneficent fairy.
The machinery of the piece turns exclusively upon
the peculiar property possessed by fairy-grown
roses of enabling their owner to make himself in-
visible at the wished-for moment. By the aid of
this charm several laughable and convenient situ-
ations are produced and evolved. The extravaganza
is written with more than usual spirit, and was
received with still more than usual enthusiasm. To
those who have a taste for modern burlesques,
we can recommend " Prince Amabel." Its author
was summoned before the curtain and most demon-
stratively applauded.

ITALY.

The Milan Gazette mentions a disturbance which
took place at Monza on the 30th ult., when a large
crowd of people assembled before the palace of the
Vicar Monsignor Caccia, uttering menaces against
him. The sub Prefect immediately proceeded to
the spot, and advised the multitude to disperse,
which a part did ; but many workmen remained,
or paraded the streets with cries against the cotton
merchants and those who had closed their factories
in consequence of the dearth of that material ; and
the disturbance would have become more serious
had not the National Guard and troops arrived in
time to maintain order.

BANK RETURNS.

The Bankers' Magazine furnishes the returns of the cir-
culation of the Private and Joint-Stock Banks in England
and Wales for the four weeks ending April 5. These
returns, combined with the circulation of the Scotch and
Irish Banks for the same period, and the average circula-
tion of the Bank of England for the four weeks ending the
2d April (the nearest date furnished by their returns),
will give the following results of the circulation of notes in
the United Kingdom, when compared with the previous

STRAND.

IA new farce, entitled "Keep your Temper," was
produced at this house last night, and was received
with favour. The idea on which this piece, which
is from the pen of Mr. J. P. Wooler, is founded is
sufficiently extravagant for the most uproarious
farce. A certain Mr. Archer, a wild, eccentric law-
student, makes a morning call upon his friends the
Browns, and finds that a furious quarrel all about
nothing has sprung up between a man and his
wife. He remonstrates with them upon the un-
reasonableness of losing their temper without
adequate cause, and, finding that they pay but
little attention to his philosophic precepts, he
determines to surround them with actual
troubles, in the hope that, when they feel the
sting of real sorrow, they may perceive the folly of
sacrificing their happiness to imaginary grievances.
His scandalous reports have the effect of destroying
the peace of the household. Every one feels
wretched, and in the extremity of his misery is
ready to fly at the throat of everybody else. When
the confusion is at its worst, the author of the mis-
chief coolly steps in, explains the cause of the tur-
moil, admits that he is himself at the bottom of all
the disturbance, and, after lecturing the Browns
upon the absurdity of losing their temper on tri-
vial occasions, concludes by soliciting the hand of
the lady who was to have run off with an imaginary
letter-carrier, a boon which is of course conceded I
without a moment's hesitation. Mr. W. H. S
borough plays the part of the Mischief-mater with
great spirit, and Mr. J. W. Rae, as a credulous old
countryman, who swallows th,:, most indigestible
stories, acts with that quiet humour which so
much distinguish!:.,-, his performances. The house
was well attended.

FEET. SHARE

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
In the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets the
operations during the last few days have been
rather inactive, and prices have remained without
any material variation for tea, sugar, cocoa, and
rice. Coffee, however, has been in good demand;
and in some instances a slight advance has been
obtained. Saltpetre has been in active request, at
enhanced rates, while tallow has been dull for both
present and forward delivery.
Continued quietude prevailed in the Liverpool
Cotton Market yesterday, and prices were un-
changed. The sales were 5,000 bales.

A call of 255. per share has been made by the
directors of the Great Northern Railway Company,
payable on the 10th prox.
Notice has been given that the dividend, at the
rate of 78. per share, on the Antwerp and Rotter-
dam Railway Company for the past year is now in
course of payment.

The bullion operations at the Bank of England
yesterday were of an unimportant character.
The Mexican dollars, by the Atrato, have been
sold at 58. Zd. per oz.

The half year's interest on Ceylon 6 per cent.
Debentures will be paid on and after the 15th inst.
A moderate amount of business is reported in the
Money Market to-day, and the rates continue firm
with rather an upward tendency. It is thought
that the remittances of specie which will shortly
have to be made in connection with the Turkish,
Egyptian, and Russian Loans, must ultimately
exercise an adverse influence upon the market.
The London and Brazilian Bank is the title of a
new undertaking, which has been very cordially
received. The capital required is £1,000,000, in
10,000 shares of £lOO each. The directors are
highly influential, and the shares are already at
about 3 premium. The applications are very nu•
rnerous, and the list will probably close in a few
days.

LAW INTELLIGENCE,—MayS.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.
(Sittings in Banco, before Lord Chief Justine Cock—
burn and Justices Crompton ,Blackburn, and Mellor.)
THE QUEEN V. TRAIN AND OTHERS.
Mr. Montagu Chambers, Q.C. said he was
strutted to mention the case of the Queen v. Train:
and another, which was an indictment for a nuisance
tba ae
l pointsra Courtii
e of
ho.hada....
and
in laying down a tramway from Westminster-bridge
to Kennington. Mr. Train and his managing man
were found guilty, and with regard to the other
defendants, certain vestrymen of Lambeth, the ver-
dict was suspended, with a view of enabling them
to make application to this court on c
law with reference to the liability.
granted a rule in their favour, which d placed the
prosecutor in a difficulty in bringing Mr.
his managing man up for judgment. His
tion was that as the jury found this was a dangel ous
nuisance, and as every day accidents occurred, tve
court would allow him to bring up Mr. Train for
judgment and hear the rule obtained by the Other
defenants at the same time.
Mr. Justice Crompton said he thought it would
be both a troublesome and difficult thing to give
two judgments. Why had not the parties adopted
the suggestion thrown out when the rule was ob-
tained to enter a nolle prosequi, with the Attorney
General's permission
Mr. Chambers said he must meet it in this way.
Mr. Train might not be in a position to pay the
costs he would have to pay. His instructions:
went to this, that the delinquent vestrymen, if
they would pardon him for using that term, had
received £l,OOO to indemnify them against the costs
they might have to pay. If however they could
be induced to pay that amount over to the proseentor
it might alter the matter. The matter of the indict-
ment did not arise out of any dispute between the
vestrymen, hut it was preferred by a gentleman of
position in consequence of the nuisance being so
serious as to occasion nearly daily accidents. He
asked to be allowed to give notice to the vestrymen
to come up and support their rule at the same time
that Mr. Train came up for judgment. The vestry-
men who made the contract with Mr. Train stipu-
lated that Mr. Train should remove the tramway en
receiving three months' notice to do so. The majo-
rity will not give that notice, and if the prosecution
were to enter a nolle prosequi there would be no
means of getting rid of the nuisance.
Mr. Justice Blackburn said Mr. Train was bound
to remove it without regard to that notice.
Mr. Justice Crompton said it appeared to him it
was a question of vestry triumph with regard to

costs.
Mr. Chambers said Mr. Train was an American,
and might return to that country any day, in which
case the prosecutor would lose his costs.
The Lord Chief Justice said be thought the
learned counsel must be under the necessity of
bringing Mr. Train up for judgment irrespective of
the rule referred to.
Mr. Chambers said there WAS some doubt enter-
tained in the Crown-office that that coarse could be
pursued. He thought it could.
Application refused.

ASTLEY'S.

Last evening one of the best spectacular dramas
that has been represented here for a considerable
length of time, was produced, and met with the
most triumphant success. It is entitled " Alice
Wingold, the Pearl of London City." The scene
is laid in London during the year 1665, that ter-
rible period of plague and pestilence, and the
principal incidents arise out of the coerced marriage
of the Sheriff of London's daughter, the ever charm-
ing Alice Wingold, to Sir Philip Rashley, a
libertine, despite her affectionate attachment for
Walter Markham. Love, jealousy, murder, rapine,
revelry, and plunder permeate almost every phase of
the spectacle; but they are worked up with won-
derful dramatic effect. Some of the scenery and
tableaux deserve special mention. " The Water
Pageant," with the sheriffs' State barge and the
scene at the Chequers, " The Tomb of Alice Win-
gold," and " The City in Flames," were remark-
ably well arranged. With the accessories of splen-
did costumes, appropriate dresses, and Pqnortrian
evolutions, the 100-named tableau received quite an
ovation in the way of applause. There is also some
charming ballet-dancing introduced, and those clever
little artistes, the Misses Helen and Emma Gunnis,
performed their pas to perfection. The character
of Alice Wingold was cleverly sustained by Miss
Julia Seaman, who made her first appearance.
Mr. Frank Huntly, who also appeared for the
first time, played the part of Walter Markham.
with genuine feeling and good taste. Mr. Searle,
as Gabrial the Gipsey, was exceedingly effective.
We have to congratulate Mr. Batty upon the
success of this his latest and best production.
He has produced a " sensation " scene of a per-
fectly novel description, and one that must at-
tract the whole of the play-going public to the
Royal Amphitheatre, fir certainly nothing has
yet been produced to equal, in reality, his repre-
sentation of " The Fire of London."
The spectacle is to be represented every even-
ing
until further notice.

A TILTED JETVRSS'S _REVENGE.

At the Liverpool Police Court, on Friday, Miss
Frances Hawley, a young Jewess, was charged with
assaulting a young man, named Phillips, who also
belongs to the Jewish persuasion. The complainant
stated that on the night of the 25th alt. he was
walking along the street with a Miss Roberts on his
arm, when he was stopped by the defendant, who
asked him for the 2s. he owed her. Whilst he had
his hand in his pocket getting the money, she
stauck him violently in the face. He cried out,
",Fanny, Fanny, what are youabout ? but the only
response he got was another blow on the head ;
his:hat was knocked off, and the defendant danced
upon it. (Laughter). Miss Roberts tried to get
him away. but he was followed by the defendant,
who struck him several blows. He got into a cab,
but Mis Hawley leaped into the vehicle after him,
in the face and
stomach. In the scuffle she seized him by his
overcoat, which the complainant exhibited amidst
much laughter, to the court, pointing out the vari-
ous "rents" it had sustained. At last, with the
assistance of two cabmen, the defendant was held
whilst the complainant and Miss Roberts drove off.
They had not, however, got far before Miss Hawley
overtook the cab, when she jumped upon the step,
and, said the complainant, " She called me a thief
and a villain, and everything but a gentleman."
(Roars of laughter.) In cross-examination by Mr.
Cobb, the complainant said he had known the de-
fendant for 12 months but he did not promise to
make her "Mrs. Phillips." (Renewed laughter.)
He was not going to marry Miss Roberts. (Latlgh.
ter.) He did not try to shirk the defendant in Drige-
street, and say, " I have had enough ofm

MARLBOROUGH STREET, THIS RAY.
TTEMPTED SUICIDE IN A POLICE CELL.—Daniel
Seach, of 9, Reeve's-mews, Grosvenor-square, was charged
before Mr. Tyrwhitt with assaulting his wife, Eliza Seach,
and threatening to murder her.
Inspector George Draper, C division, said the prisoner

very drunk and violent, and twice attempted to commit
suicide in the pclice cells, first by tying his belt tightly

The prisoner was remanded.

ESCAPE FRO.II NEWGATE.

THIS DAY,

An escape of a prisoner from Newgate now-a-
days is a circumstance of such rare occurrence that
when an event of that-kind occurs it is now looked
upon as something extraordinary.
All the prisoners, last night, at six o'clock, were,
according to the regulations of the gaol, locked up
securely. Amongst them Philip Craw, a German
sailor, who was committed for trial from the
Thames Police' Court on the 10th of April, for
stealing a quantity of tea from the East and West
India Docks.

On the arrival of Craw at Newgute he was
placed in No. 2 ward, which is situate in the west
front of the gaol.

On either side of the debtors' door, the one
before which the scaffold is placed on the occasions
of public executions, a small portion of the immense
walls of Newgate outwardly appears very low,
not more than 20 or 25 feet in height, but at the
back of that wall, out of sight, on the right hand
side runs the exterior wall of No. 2 ward, in which
Craw was confined. His cell was, according to
the usages of the prison, visited at different hours
of night, but this morning, shortly after daylight,
it was discovered that he was not in his cell, and
further that the panel of the door had been by some
means cut out. The blankets of his bed were also
missing, and from that circumstance it was at once
surmised that he had used them in making his
escape. In a few minutes after, the blankets wet e
discovered torn outside the walls, near to the
Debtors' door, and from the marks made on the
outer wall, there could be no doubt but that the
prisoner had succeeded in effecting his escape at
that portion of the building.
The Governor was at once apprised of the cir-
cumstance, and information was instantly dispatched
to the visiting mag!strates, who were very early in
their attendance at the prison.
A very minute examination and a strict inquiry
is now being made into this circumstance which
has created the greatest surprise amongst all parties,
as the gaol of Newgate, which but a few mokths
ago was to a great extent remodelled, was looked
upon as a place from which escape was impossible.
Up to a late hour this afternoon nothing had been
heard of the man.

EMPEROR OF THE FRENCH.

I have just visited the fleet which you have
been so good as to send to this port. This act of
careful kindness on your part for my person, and of
sympathy far the cause of Italy, has much moved
me, ant I thank you for it. It is a long time, Sire,
since I have undergone so many emotions as on this
day. The order which prevails in these southern
provinces and the warm marks of affection which
I receive from all sides reply victoriously to the
calumnies of our enemies, and will, I hope, convince
Europe that the idea of the unity of Italy rests
upon a solid basis, and is deeply engraved in the
heart of all Italians.

" Accept, Sire, the expression of my sincere and
unalterable friendship."

THE INTENDED 2114BKETS 47 SOII7II.FIELD,

There are not less than three bills now before
Parliament affecting the proposed markets and
market-places intended to be made at Smithfield,
for the sale of meat and poultry: The first of these
is the Metropolitan Railway Bill, for powers to
or, improved communication with said market
places by railway into the northwestern end of the
said market. This bill was read a third time on the
29th ult. Then there is the Metropolitan Meat
and Poultry Markets (Street Approved) Bill, to give
powers to the Corporation to take lands, and pur-
chase other properties for a street 60tt. wide, from
Victoria-street to the said markets on the western
side thereof; and, finally, there is the London Rail-
way Depot and Warehouses Bill, which provides
for the repeal of the Railway Depot and Storehouses
Act, 1860, and dissolves the company called the
London Depot and Storehouses Company transfer-
ring all the powers conferred upon the said com-
pany by virtue of such act to the Corporation of the
City of London. This bill was read a third time in
the House of Commons on Thursday night last;
the street bill will go into committee before Mr.
Baillie's committee, to-morrow week, the 13th inst
and will be opposed: We hear, however, that since
the notices of opposition were given, the legal
officers of the Corporation, with the counsel on
both sides in several instances, have amicably
arranged points of differences, so that the opposi-
tion may be now regarded as being more nominal
than real. In their last report (to which the
Court of Common Council agreed unanimously), the
Markets Improvement Committee of the Corporation
recommended that when the Finance Committee
should have obtained the sum required for the pur-
chase of lands, &c. (1270,000), and for the payment
of compensation, &c., that they should have power
forthwith to issue the notices to all parties holding
such houses or lands, &c., as scheduled in the act
n
of 1860. The Finance Committee have reported
that they have obtained the said sum, ad wetare
told on the best possible authority tha the notices
aro now being prepared for issue.

The committee of the Dieppe Regatta Society,
at a recent sitting, decided that the races of the present

SOCIE2Y.

The fourth concert of the season took place last
evening at the Hanover-square Rooms. Madlle.
Titiens sang Meyerbeer's aria, " Vanne, vanne,"
magnificently, and at its termination the great com-
poser, who made one of the audience, was unani-
mously called for, and enthusiastically cheered on
rising to respond to the complement. The grand
adagia and fugue in D of Mozart, finely performed,
was duly appreciated, as was likewise the admi-
rable execution of Hummelt's concerto in B minor
by Herr Pauer. Mr. H. C. Cooper, in Mendelssohn's
concerto, proved that his genuine talent, which
many years ago created for him a reputation such as
few English violinists have achieved, has suffered no
deterioration during his long sojourn in the United
States, whence •he has just returned. Beethoven's
symphony in C, No. 1, like all the other great or-
chestral works, was done ample justice to under the
masterly direction of Professor Bennett, who, owing
to causes too well known to need explanation here,
received a perfectly overwhelming ovation on enter-
ing the orchestra.

ROME.

A letter from Rome of the 30th ult., in the
Gazette the Midi, says :
"Accounts received yesterday evening bring
excellent news on the health of the Sovereign
Pontiff. His Holiness has derived much benefit
from his retirement at Porto d'Anzio. It appears
that the difficulties which had arisen on the occasion
of the re-establishment of the apostolic nunciature
at St. Petersburg have been removed, as Mgr.
Berardi, the new Nuncio, is to leave Rome for his
post during the first fortnight of May. His Excel•
lency will pass through France on his way. It is
thought that the bishops who will be present at the
canonisation on the Bth June, will be upwards of
500 in number. France will be represented, it is
said, by at least 60 members of her episcopacy.
The prelate, in whose diocese St. Petersburg is
situated, is, it is said, already on his way to Rome

with three of the principal dignitaries of his clergy.
The trial of the capitular vicar of. Bologna will
shortly come before the assizes of that town ; the
list of the jury called to decide on the guilt of that
prelate has been published; it is composA princi-
pally of workmen of the town, and among them a
shoemaker and a mason, the only person of a liberal
profession who figures in it being an advocate—a
very fit jury truly to judge if a Latin ordonnance
of ecclesiastical discipline is conformable or contrary
to the new laws of the country I"

LAW INTELLIGENCE.--May 5.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.
(Sittings in Banco, before Lord Chief Justice Cock-
burn and Justices Crompton,Blackburn, and Mellor.)

THE QUEEN V. TRAIN AND OTHERS.
Mr. Montagu Chambers, Q.C., said he was in-
structed to mention the case of the Queen v. Train
and another,whieh was an indictment for a nuisance
in laying down a tramway from Westminster-bridp
to Kennington. Mr, Troia and his managing mart
were found guilty, and with regard to the other
defendants, certain vestryn.len of Lambeth, the ver-
dict was suspended, with a view of enabling them
to make application to this court on certain points of
law with reference to the liability. The Court had
granted a rule in their favour, which had placed the
prosecutor in a difficulty in bringing Mr. Train and.
his managing man up for judgment:. His applica-
tion was that as the jury found this was a dangerous
nuisance, and as every day accidents occurred, the.
court would allow him to bring up Mr. Train for-
judgment and hear the rule obtaiued by the other
defenants at the same time.
Mr. Justice Crompton said he thought it would
be both a troublesome and difficult thing to give
two iudgments. Why had not the parties adopted
the suggestion thrown out when the rule way' ob-
tained to enter a nolle prosequi, with the Attorney
General's permission ?
Mr. Chambers said he must meet it in this way,
Mr. Train might not be in a position to pay the.,
costs be would have to pay. His instructions
went to this, that the delinquent vestrymen' if
they would pardon him for using that term, had
received £l,OOO to indemnify them against the costs
they might have to pay. If however they could
be induced to pay that amount over to the prosecutor
it might alter the matter. The matter of the indict-
ment did not arise out of any dispute between the
vestrymen, but it was preferred by a gentleman of
position in consequence of the nuisance being so
serious as to occasion nearly daily accidents. He
asked to be allowed to give notice to the vestrymen
to come up and support their rule At the same time
that Mr. Train came up for judgment.
The vestry-
men who made the contract with Mr. Train stipu-
lated that Mr. Train should remove the tramway on
receiving three months' notice to do so. The majo-
rity will not give that notice, and if the prosecution
were to enter a nolle prosequi there would be no
means of getting rid of the nuisance.
Mr. Justice Blackburn said Mr. Train was bou Ad
to remove it without regard to that notice.
Mr. Justice Crompton said it appeared to him it
was a question of vestry triumph with regard to
costs.
Mr. Chambers said Mr. Train was an American,
and might return to that country any day, in which
case the prosecutor would lose his costs.
The Lord Chief Justice said he thought the
learned counsel must be under the necessity of
bringing Mr. Train up for judgment irrespective of
the rule referred to.
Mr. Chambers said there was some doubt enter-
tained in the Crown-office that that coarse could be
pursued. He thought it could.
Application refused.
