The Royal Mail Company's steamship Shannon,
Captain Abbott, which left St. Thomas on the 13th
inst., arrived at 4.30 a.m. She brings 294 passen-
gers, 1,245,239 dols. in specie (of which 276,697
dols. is gold and 968,542 dols. silver), jewellery,
&c., value 25,350 dols,, and a cargo comprising 477

indiarubber, 35 packages skins, 32 packages vanilla,
and 185 packages sundries.

Colonel le Vicomte do la Pierre, the bearer of
important despatches from Vera Cruz, is a passen-
ger by the Shannon, and also Mr. J. Crawford,
C. 13., the English Consul-General at Havannah,
with his family.

Her Majesty's ships Ariadne, Imaum, and Plover
at Jamaica; Immortalite, at Antigua ; Phaeton, at
Vera Cruz ; Landrail, cruizing in Bahama Channel;
Cygnet was to leave Havannah for Bermuda; and
Barracouta, bound to Halifax.
At Jamaica the long drought had been succeeded
by heavy floods and rain, threatening great destruc-
tion of property. Ground provisions were very
scarce. The public health was good. Business was
perfectly stagnant owing to the severe weather.
Business, weather, and the health and general
prosperity of the people were all promising well at
Barbadoes. Exports during the fortnight included
32,531 Mids. 2,544 tres. 11,410 brls, of sugar;
4,725 puns. 239 hhds. 644 brls. of molasses; and
60 puns. 212 hhds. of rum.
The schooner Charlotte, of Surinam, had arrived
at Demerara, with 19 escaped slaves, who were
placed temporarily under the care of the Immigra-
tion Agent-General. Exports for fortnight in-
cluded 1,347 hhds. 691 trcs. 180 brls. 82 bags
sugar ; 330 puns. 49 hhds 37 brls. rum.

At Valparaiso exchange on London was 45d. to
451 d. per dollar. Freights to England, £4 to £4 ss.
per ton ; rates firm, and shipping in request. Stocks
of nitrate being low at ports of shipment, holders
stood out for 1.871 dole., and even 2 dole, per
quintal, at which figure no transactions took place.

Silver lodes had been discovered in the district of
Copiapo, which had given a stimulus to business .
An attempted revolution at Arequipa, on the 14th
of May, was frustrated.
Rather a severe shock of earthquake was felt at
Callao and Lima on the 28th of May, but little or
no damage was done.
There had been no arrivals at Callao of vessels
from England since previous advices. Exchange
on England, 37d. to 38d. per dollar.
The small English steamer Thomas, from London
for th© Sandwich Islands, through the Straits of
Magellan, 169 days out, called at Lota on the 29th
of April for costs.
Business at Havannah was dull, and the health of
the population about as usual at this season.

RAILWAY BILLS.

Yesterday in Lord Stanley's Committee it was determined
to take only the Bills of the Ellesmere, Ruabon, and Shrews-
bury, Great Western (Oswestry and Shrewsbury), and Os-
westry, Ellesmere, and Whitchurch Railways, and decide
upon their merits, the standing orders of the House of
Lords having been waived in their favour ; but it was also
determined not to take the Bills of the Shrewsbury and
Wdshpool, Oswestry, Newtown, and Llanidloes, and for
their amalgamation, and the Newtown and Machynlleth
Railways, which will not be proceeded with this Session,
the standing orders not having been relaxed in their favour.
The case of the East Glocestershire Railway was concluded
in the Duke of Richmond's Committee, but the decision on
it is postponed. The amalgamation of the North-Eastern
and Hull and Holderness Railways was passed in the Duke
of Devonshire's Committee, who subsequently proceeded
with the Mid Kent and Addiseombe Railway, allowing the
Brighton Company to appear in opposition.

THE RED SEA TELEGRAPH.

The report of the amendment on this bill having been
brought up,
Lord REDESDALE objected to the loose manner in
which the bill was drawn up. After the liabilities incurred
by the Government with respect to the guarantee to the
previous company, it was very desirable that both the com-
pany and the Government should know exactly how they
stood.

The Earl of CAMPERDOWN agreed in every respect
with the noble lord. He had expected to find a contract in
the schedule, but it appeared there was only an arrange-
ment between the Treasury and the Company. He ob-
jected to a liability of two millions being incurred in this
loose manner.

The Duke of ARGYLL said that after a full inquiry a
committee of the House of Commons had reported in
favour of the guarantee to the company which had failed.
The Government thought it was too great a risk to restore
the cable at their own expense, but a new company
had come forward and offered to do so if they
were guaranteed a profit of 25 per cent. in the event of the
experiments being a success. There was, therefore, no risk
to the Government, and he contended that it was fully pro-
vided for in the bill.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said the bill made the best
of a bad bargain, for without it a sum of £BOO,OOO was actu-
ally lost,whereas now without any further risk in the event
of failure it might be turned to account. As regards the
validity of the agreement he thought the bill defective,
and suggested an addition to the first section, which would
make it perfectly clear and binding.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

A SPTRITED COMPLAINANT.— GROSS INSOLENCE OF
A CABMAN.—Simeon Wakerly, badge 10,704, a cab-
owner and driver, was charged with the following conduct
to a lady.
The defendant was brought up on a warrant, having
failed to attend on the summons.

The evidence of the complainant, Mrs. Emily Foster, a
widow, residing at 28, Clarges-street, went to show that on
the 17th she engaged the defendant's cab in George-street,
Hanover-square, the cab being a Hansom, and in stopping
at her house the defendant opened the window in such a
rough manner that she received a severe blow. She told
the defendant that he ought to be careful, when he replied
in a most insolent manner, " Ladies should not ride in
Hansom's." She felt very faint and asked the defendant
to knock at her door, when he replied, " Knock yourself."
She then asked the defendant for his ticket, and he refused
to give one till she had paid him his fare. After keeping
her waiting five minutes he altered the ticket, and then
gave her one, and she paid him, and as he was going away,
after making grimaces at her, and behaving in a very vio-
lent manner, h 3 threw some mud at the windows.
Elizabeth Betchley, servant to Mrs. Foster, corroborated
her evidence in some particulars.

Defendant said he was not aware he was insolent, and
that the mud might have got on the window by the horse
splashing. Ha was not supposed to get down to knock at
people's doors.

Mr. Knox said the defendant had a perfect right to de-
cline getting down so as to loose control of his horse. He
thought the blow the complainant had received might have
been accidental, but the defendant's conduct had been most
insolent, and there was not one hardly in a hundred with
sufficient spirit to come to a court as complainant.
It was perfectly unbearable that a female could not ride in
a cab without being insulted. He would fine the defendant
205., and the costs of a solicitor who attended for the com-
plainant.

Lord Chief Justice Erie and a Special Jury.)

GORE V. SIR GEORGE GREY AND Oil) ERS.-ACTION

BY AN ALLEGED LUNATIC.

The plaintiff in this case was in 1855 a prisoner
in the Queen's Prison, and early in the following
year he was removed from that place to Bethlehem
Hospital, where he was confined for a considerable
period as a lunatic. He now claimed damages for
false imprisonment, alleging that he had never been
lunatic. The defendants were the Secretary of
State fur the Home Department, Captain Hudson,
the governor, and some other officers of the Queen's
Prison ; and also the medical officers of Bethlehem,
Dr. Hood, and Mr. Helps.
The plaintiff appeared in person.
The Attorney-General and Mr. T. Jones were for
Sir George Grey and the officers of the prison; and
Tr.
Serjeant Figgott for the officers of Bethlehem.
The plaintiff, in opening his case, read a long
statement to the jury, which occupied in the read-

Mr. Lewis, jun., attended for the defence.

Mr. Metcalfe, for the prosecution, said he was
instructed by the committee of the Stock Exchange
to lay the facts of this case before the court, and to
ask the magistrate, if the evidence established a
criminal charge against the defendants, to send them
elsewhere to answer the offence. It appeared that
the defendant Hawkins was arrested in May, 1859,
for a debt which he incurred on the Stock Exchange
in respect of certain shares which he repudiated,
and on the 12th of March, 1860, he petitioned the
Insolvency Court and filed his schedule on the 26th
of the same month. On the 12th of March, 1862,
the commissioner gave judgment. It was quite clear
that at the time Hawkins was arrested tie had a
number of shares to the value of some thousands of
pounds, besides other property to a considerable
amount. Among those shares were 250 Lombardo-
Venetian shares, which were duly entered in his sche-
dule, and he accounted for their disposal by stating

TILE FEMALE SWELL MOB AT THE EXHIBITION.—
Mary Wood and Elizabeth Thigg, two very showily-dressed
women, attired in rich coloured silks, were placed at the bar
charged with attempting to pick pockets in tho Interna-
tional Exhibition.

Charles Wm. Woodhouse, a commissionaire, said that
yesterday afternoon he was in the machine department of
Exhibition, when a gentleman called his attention to the
two prisoners. He watched them and saw the prisoner
Trigg put her hand under a lady's cape. The lady was
afterwards spoken to, but had not lost anything from her
pocket as she had not brought out anything with her.
He gave the prisoners in charge of a policeman.
Mr. Ingham—Describe particularly what either of the
prisoners did that you yourself saw.
Witness—l saw the prisoner Trigg put her hand under
the lady's cape.

Mr. Ingham—Was there not a great crowd of persons at
the Exhibition yesterday?
Witness—There were seven or eight close by the pri-

soners.

Vv
Mr._ Ingham—l suppose there was, as usual, a great deal
of pushing and jostling about. Is there any further evi-
dence? _ _

Sergeant Tanner—l am at the head of the detective
police at the exhibition. I have no further evidence
against the prisoners, but they are both well known, and
very expert thieves, and I thought it but right to bring
them before you. Perhaps your worship will remand
them.

Mr. Ingham—l do not think that there is sufficient
proved to remand them upon.

Sergeant Tanner—l thought you might consider it a case
for summary conviction, for there can be no doubt but that
they were there for the purpose of committing a felony.
Mr. Ingham—l do not think that there is enough proved
to justify my so dealing with them. All that one of them
was seen to do was to t•lace her hand under a lady's cape, and
in the jostling and scuffling about of an assembly such a
thing might be accidental. I must discharge the prisoners.
" Thank ye," exclaimed both ladies at once.
Mr. Ingham pointed out that they should have been
watched a little longer, and were taken too soon.

The Viceroy of Egypt has been pleased to accept
an invitation from the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor,
on the part of the Corporation of the City of Lon-
don, to a grand banquet, to be specially given in
honour of the visit of his Highness to this country,
on the evening of Saturday week, the sth of July
The entertainment will be served in the Egyptian-

pany has been invited to meet the distinguished
stranger. The guests will include some, if not all,
of the Cabinet Ministers, the leading members of the
Opposition in both Houses of Parliament, many of
the nobility, members of the House of Commons, the
Royal Commissioners for the Exhibition, the mem-

various civic wards, the chairmen of committees of
the Court of Common Council, representatives of the
great city companies, of the banking, mercantile,
and trading communities, the Royal Commissioners
for the Thames Embankment, and the suite of his
Highness the Viceroy. On or about the 17th of
July is the time fixed for the evening entertainment,
similar to that at which her Majesty was present in
the summer of 1851, which is to be given in Guild

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.

'Sittings at Nisi Prins, in Middlesex, before Mr.
Lord Chief Justice Erie and a Special Jury.)

GORE V. SIR GEORGE GREY AND Gill ERS.-ACTION

BY AN ALLEGED LUNATIC.

The plaintiff in this case was in 1855 a prisoner
in the Queen's Prison, and early in the following
year he was removed from that place to Bethlehem
Hospital, where he was confined for a considerable
period as a lunatic. He now claimed damages for
false imprisonment, alleging that he had never been
lunatic. The defendants were the Secretary of
State for the Home Department, Captain Hudson,
the governor, and some other officers of the Queen's
Prison ; and also the medical officers of Bethlehem,
Dr. Hood, and Mr. Helps.
The plaintiff appeared in person.
The Attorney-General and Mr. T. Jones were for
Sir George Grey and the officers of the prison; and
Mr. Serjeant Figgott for the officers of Bethlehem.
Tho plaintiff, in opening his case, read a long
statement to the jury, which occupied in the read-
ing four hours and a half, although, in consequence
of the interference of the judge and jury, the plain-
tiff, with evident reluctance, omitted to read some

PRIZE MONEY.

The Earl of HARDWICKE called the attention of the
house to the claims made for prize money on account of the
capture of Kertch, and complained that they had not been
recognised.
The Duke of SOMERSET said that case had assumed a
very complicated character, in consequence of the applica-
tions not having been sent in until after the lapse of six
years, and in consequence also of the share which the
French and Turkish forces had taken in the expedition.
The Admiralty, however, had done all in their power to
induce the Treasury to recognise the claims.
Earl GREY and the Earl of DERBY strongly condemned
the conduct of the Government in not recognising those
claims, which were founded on an act of Parliament and on
the Queen's proclamation. It was stated that the Cabinet
were divided upon the subject.
Earl GRANVILLE said that the Cabinet could net be
divided upon the matter, as it had neve/ been made a Cabi-
net question.

VARIETIES.

(From Fun.)
The way of the world is now South Kensington.
THE STATE WHICH SHOULD HEAD THE CONFEDERACY.
—Connect-I-cut.

THE PRESIDENT'S SERVANTS.—We do not know how
the other domestics of Mr. Abraham Lincoln deport them-
selves, but we are quite sure that it is high time he should
discharge his Butler.

NOTICE of CORRESPONDENTS.—SeveraI correspondents
have written to us to say that our definition of Mr. Disraeli
—"A delusion, a mockery, and a—sneer !"—is as near the
truth as a definition can well be I

ART GOSSIP.—It is whispered that the artist who so sue.
cessfully "thew a badger" last year, is this season about to
paint a dog in distemper.
SINGULAR FACT IN NATURAL HISTORY.—Ask a lady
her age, and the information contained in her reply will
probably not be reliable ; but inquire the age of her dearest
friend, and the answer may be implicitly believed.
A REGULAR UPSET IN A. CAB.—Justly Irritated Party

Inebriated Cabby—" In-sh-sh-shist on my—hic—number.

Box.—A. word with various significations, peculiarly
connected with an Englishman's progress through life. As
a child he is spoken of as a chatterbox, and boxes of toys
with, of course, a jack-in-the-box, furnish kis amusements.
In boyhood, he attains the summit of juvenile felicity,
when he becomes possessor of a " boxer" jog-top, obtained
perhaps from the facetious uncle who speaks of his head as
a knowledge box. A. musical box delights his ear, and for
bringing it in his school-box, and making it play when he
is at work, he gets a box on both ears. His first start from
home is likely to have been mado on a box-seat by the side
of a driver in a box-cart, using a box-handled whip. For
economy he has frequently to box Harry. If he go to sea
he must box the compass. In the army he will learn
how much depends on the cartridge-box, and in the medi-
cal profession on the pill box, whilst his reputation as a
lawyer will depend on his appeals to the witness-box and
the jury box. Success puts him in possession of an opera-
box, bunting-box, or a shooting-box, near Box-hill or Box-
moor, reached by railway through the Box tunnel. His
respectability (authorities Turncock and Postman) will de-
pend on the amount he dispenses in Christmas-boxes, and
the people's greatest holiday is boxing-night. The ballot-
box is believed to be the panacea for all political grievances,
and the band-box is generally the source of domestic ones.
Out of the band-box and the snuff-box man derives his con-
solation; the happiness or misery of each day depends on
what he finds in his letter-box, and the troubles that per-
plex his life only cease when he is "boxed up."

Shocking accounts are given of the new Papal
prison of Civita Vecchia. It is worthy the worst days of
Spielberg and the Pozzi and Piombi. Political prisoners,
confined on suspicion, are ironed, fed, and treated like the
worst criminals. The court where they walk is 20 paces
by eight. Each cell has two windows, one opening on the
court, which is closed at sunset, the other into the passage,
which is also closed an hour later. Then for the night the
poor prisoner is nearly stifled. Except one shirro nobody
comes near these poor victims, who are forbidden to look
out of the window, and are denied the use either of their
Web, their papers, 9r their ramp.
