2HE THREE, BEARS.

Mr. Montague Chambers, Q.C., yesterday as
counsel for the plaintiff in the action of Walrond
v. Long and another, while maintaining that he
was cry deeply read
in fables and stories," v "
de-
clared himself to be totally ignorant of any nursery
tale entitled "The Three Bears." Will the learned
Queen's counsel permit us to extend his knowledge
in this branch of literature, by informing him that
the story of "The Three Bears" (deplorably mis-
quoted by the correspondent of the Morning post)
was written by the late Robert Southey, Poet
ILaureate.

Charles George Croft, park-constable No. 44, said be
charged the defendant with fishing yesterday afternoon, in
the Long Water, in Kensington Gardens, with a rod and
line. He had seen him fishing the day before and cau-
tioned him.
Defendant—Did you caution me ?
Constable—Yes, and told you to go away.
Defendant—You never told me that fishing was not
allowed.
Constable—You knew it well enough.
Mr. Knox—lt is not your duty, constable, to lecture
hero. What are your orders?
Constable—We have them from the Commissioners of
the Board of Works.

Mr. Knox—Have you any act of Parliament P I am
glad to find that the Serpentine is in such a condition that
fish can exist there. I shall remand the prisoner till Wed-
nesday, and you, constable, can speak to your authorities,
and they can then come prepared with the instructions
under which they act and give their orders.
The prisoner was then remanded on his own recognizance.

JIM PERIAL -I;ARL lAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS—YESTERDAY.
The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack
at five o'clock.

PRIVATE BUSINESS.

The Wycombe Railway, and the Folkestone to Barham
Downs Road Bills were read a second time.

The Aberystwith and Welch Coast Railway, Deaf and
Dumb Poor Asylum, Kent Water, and Newry and Armagh
Railway Bills were read a third time and passed.
ITALIAN AFFAIRS.

Earl RUSSELL laid on the table certain papers relative
to Italian affairs.

The Marquis of NORMANBY said the papers which
the noble earl had just laid on the table would render un-
necessary one of the questions which he had given
the noble lord private notice of his intention of
putting. The papers which had just been laid on the table
were those moved for on the 17th ult. He would therefore
ask whether there would be any objection to lay on the
table copies of the official despatches from Sir J. Hudson at
Turin and Mr. Bonham at Naples relative to the
Neapolitan proclamations which had been the subject of
debate in both Houscs of Parliament. The noble marquis
Ca , entered into the subject of proclamations, and was
understood to say that although Colonel Fantoni had been
rem° red, there was still sonic doubt about the suppression
of the inhuman proclamation. lie had lately received in-
formation that an order of the day of a very cruel nature
had very recently been issued by another officer.
Earl RUSSELL said, of course a minister would not be
responsible for everything that took place in all the remote
places of the world, (Hoar.) He would have no objection to
give the noble marpds such despatches as he had relative
to the subject. V,? ith respect to the proclamation of Col.
Fantoni, what he stated was that as soon as it was made
he certainly had been relieved of his command, and
the noble lord had just as much to do with that re-
moval as he (Earl Russell) had. lie had been told
that it 'was never intended to act on the proclamations,
which lad been issued more to terrify than anything else.
