We (Times) have received the following telegram
from our own correspondent at Cork, The news
by the Scotia has been chiefly anticipated.
(Pen SCOTIA.)
""NEW YORK, AUG. 26.

" The Ctuurederatt, and Federal armies have
been engaged in movements of more or less im-
portance since Wednesday, the 20th inst. On that
day the Confederate cavalry drove in two pickets
of the Federals at Brandy Station, between Cul-
pepper and the Rappahannock; the Federals re-
treated across the river in good order.
"On Thursday a division of Confederates
crossed on a pontoon bridge, constructed during
the night, and attacked the advanced guard of
General Sigel, and inflicted a loss of upwards of
200 in killed and wounded.

" On Friday the battle raged more hotly between
the contending lines, the object of the Confederates
being to turn Pope's flank, annihilate his division,
and make a dash upon Warrenton and then upon
Washington before the arrival of reinforcements
under M'Ciellan.

" The Government prohibits the transmission of
telegraphic news, but at the date of the last letters
it was alleged that the Federals still held their
position, and that they had been reinforced by
M'Clellan and Burnside. The position remained
unchanged until Sunday. The inference is that the
Federals had made a final stand for the defence
of Washington on the north bank of the Rappa-
hannock, and that a pitched battle is imminent.
" A great meeting of the citizens of New York is
to be held in the City-hall square to-morrow, to
promote enlistment.

" The high bounties have had the effect of
largely increasing the number of volunteers in
New York and New England.
" On Saturday a serious riot or mutiny broke
out in East New York among the recruits of the
Spenola Brigade, who complained that their bounty
money had not been paid in full. Ten men were
seriously wounded before peace was restored.
" The Sioux. Indians in Minnesota are disaffected
at the non-payment by the Washington Govern-
ment of their promised annuity and allowances,
and instigated, it is said, by the Confederates, have
mnde a general onslaught upon the white popula-
tion, and barbarously massacred upwards of 500
men, women, and children.
" The guerilla movement in the Border States
increases daily.
" General Buell's position creates alarm in
Washington.
" General Breckenridge is preparing for a new
attack on Baton Rouge.

PARIS, SEPT. 4.

The Esprit Public of to-day says We have
reason to believe that at the. Council of Ministers
held on Tuesday last Monseigneur Morlot and seve-
ral other members of the Privy Council were pre-
sent. M. Thouvenel had prepared a note to be
despatched to Rome in case the Government de-
cided on the immediate cessation of the occupation
of that city by French troops. This note, although
not absolutely rejected by the Council, was con-
sidered inopportune, and its despatch adjourned.
It is said that the resolutions taken were that the
status quo at Rome should be prolonged for some
time, and that no modification should take place in
the military occupation. It is also said that a
despatch has been sent to Turin congratulating
the Italian Government on its triumph over the
party of action, and that a copy of the despatch
llas been communicated to the Pontifical Govern-
ment."

following telegram, dated Alexandria, 2d inst. :--

DEATH FROM THE BITE OF AN ADDER.-011
Wednesday afternoon Dr. Lankester, coroner for Middl-
esex,
received information ofof a theladuenadrestho:
residing
innaßme.
named
Maria Sewell, thedaughter
Bed-
ford New-town, St. Pancras, which was occasioned by the
bite of an adder on the previous day. It appears that the
girl's brother had procured the reptile about a week ago,
and kept it in a box, and she was proceeding to feed it, as
she had been in the habit of doing for some days, when the
adder suddenly darted out and bit her on the inside of the
upper lip. She was immediately seized with extreme pain,
and in about 20 minutes began swelling about the head
and neck to such an extent that not a feature was recog-
nizable. Medical assistance was procured and antidotes
applied, but the whole system had become so violently
affected that the poor girl expired before she could be re-
moved to the North London Hospital.

AN ACCOMPLISHED THlEF.—Yesterday afternoon
information was circulated to the various police stations
that a robbery had been committed by a well-dressed man,
who called at the residence of Mr. George Barham, St.
Michael's-place, Brompton, and representing, himself as a
well-known comedian, in sehrch of an old relative, who
formerly was a tenant of Mr. Barham's, he was kindly re-
ceived and entertained. His conversational powers engrossed
the attention of all present, and when be was about to leave
he received a pressing invitation to call again. Before his
departure, however, under some pretence he left the parlour
and quietly entered an apartment adjoining, from a drawer
in which he stole a considerable sum of money and a quan-
tity of jewelry. The loss was not discovered for some time
after the delinquent had disappeared.

SINGULAR AND FATAL ACCIDENT AT THE EXHI-
BITION.—Yesterday evening Mr. Bedford held at inquest
at St. George's Hospital into the circumstances connected
with the death of Henry Coe, aged 32, a stoker, who lost
his life in the following way :—lt appeared deceased was in
the employ of Messr
Messrs. Geeves, of New-wharf-road, Penton-
',Julie, who are exhibitors in the American department at the
Exhibition. On Monday fortnight deceased took some
friends to the Exhibition to see a cork-cutting machine.
He pulled the strap off the machine, and by some means got
his arm under the circular knife, by which his arm was cut
in a frightful manner. He was at once cortkeyed to the hos-
pital, but he expired from the injuries, inflammation of the
arm setting in. Verdict, accidental death.
Her Majesty the Empress has addressed the fol-
lowing letter to Count de Fersigny, Minister of the Interior,
dated St.Cloud,3d Sept. :—" Monsieur le ;Nlinistre—l thank
you for the eagerness with which you have transmitted to
me to the deliberations of the Councils-General in favour of

LAW-THIS DAB.

SHERIFFS' ( OURT.
(Beft,re Mr. JoNee.)
PUN" AND ITS ARTISTS.-EXTRAORDINARY

CHAMBERS V. lI`LEAN.
This was an action to recover £4 for six drawings
alleged to have been used, or partly used in a periodical
called Fun.

The plaintiff said he was an artist, and had left many
sketches at the Fun office, in Fleet-street. He found that
six of those drawings had been used and his charge was
£4. Fun was a humorous periodical, and defendant was
proprietor. Witness had one of the numbers with him.

His Honour—Let me see it.
The number was handed up and the attention of the
court called to a picture.

His Honour (reading) "Putting his pipe out,'
(Laughter.) Well, it does look like it. If all the six are
like this one they are cheap enough.
Defendant cross-examined the plaintiff with a view to
showing that only one of the sketches had been used.
Plaintiff said he had drawn one on wood, but the en-
graving was so bad it could not be used.

His Honour--That is not his fault, that is the fault of
the engraver.

Plaintiff—One of the sketches bore reference to the great
Wyndham affair, and was headed " How to become a ce-
lebrity."

Defendant said he had paid 15s. 6d. into court for the
sketch used, and that was five shillings more than Fun
usually paid.

Plaintiff admitted that he had bad drawings returned to
him, and defendant urged that the periodical was only
liable for the sketch used. If Fun were liable for such
claims as the present, it might have many such demands,
and, indeed, had at the present time. Again, plaintiff had
no right to charge more than the periodical had previously
paid him, but

His Honour said that all depended on circumstances,
and plaintiff could not be expected to tie himself down to
any particular price. Upon the evidence, defendant must
pay £2 ss. in addition to the money paid, into court, with
full costs.
Verdict for plaintiff.

SECONDARIES' COURT.
(Before Mr. Secondary Potter.)
GAUBERT V. PUDDY.-HOW ARE YOUR POOR TEETH ?
The plaintiff in this case is a dentist in Langham-place,
Portland-place,' and the datendant is a bootmaker
in
Panton-street, Haymarket, and the action was brought to
recover the sum of £lO for a set of false teeth. The de-
fendant pleaded that he was never indebted,
Mr. Smith, from Messrs. Gold and Son, stated the case,
from which it appeared that the plaintiff was acquainted
with a friend of the defendant's, and the plaintiff was re-
quested to drop in in a friendly way and look at the defen-
dant's " poor teeth." The investigation was condemna-
tory of the natural, and it was resolved that a new set of
false teeth should be supplied, and the defendant's mouth
was refurnished, and the defendant not only professed him-
self to be satisfied but highly delighted, but after having
used them for some two or three months he did not think
they operated so well as the natural masticators, and ha
refused to pay.

The plaintiff said he attended on the defendant several
times to see how they were working, and they appeared to
do so uncommonly well. (Laughter.) Defendant could
eat and drink with them apparently to his great satisfaction
—in fact they were next door to natural. A question then
arose as to the price, and he (plaintiff) said they would be
£lO. Defendant said he could not afford that, and plaintiff
said that if so defendant ought not to have had them, but,
nevertheless, he would take the cost of materials and work-
manship, and he would take £6, which defendant promised
to pay at first, but afterwards said they would not do ; but
they were going on very well—quite as well as could be
expected, for it took two or three months to get them set-
tled. Defendant kept on grumbling, but he kept the teeth
for a time and then rejected them.
The defence was that they were useless.

The Learned Secondary said—lf so ;if they were of no
use the defendant could yet be called on to pay; but the
jury would decide whether the defendant had derived a
benefit.

The Jury, which, singularly, was composed of six gen-
tlemen of the Hebrew persuasion, and six of other creeds,
consulted for some time ; but not coming to a speedy con-
clusion, three or four impatient taps were heard. The
officer of the Court called for " Order in Court," " Silence,"
&c., but the manifestation of impatience continued, until
the Learned Secondary said, "Gentlemen—have you con-
sidered your verdict ?

The Foreman—Yes ; we find for the plaintiff £lO.
A few more taps in approval followed.
The bold disturber of judicial role was again called to
order, and proved to be a dog, who had dropped in with a
friend of one of the parties, and he took his departure evi-
dently well satisfied at the result of the trial.
