in her. The son of the First Lord of the Admiralty and
the son of the Duke of Newcastle, the Minister at War,
have both proceeded in the Dauntless to join ships in
the fleet. Mr. Graham serves with the Hon. Captain
Keppel in the St. Jean d'Acre, 101, screw ; and the Hon.
Mr. Clinton joins the imperieuse, 51, screw, Captain
Watson, C. 13.
The Lords of the Admiralty yesterday took up a
number of steamers for the conveyance of the troops
destined to reinforce the British expeditionary army in
the Black Sea ; as also two steamers for special service,
each of the latter to convey 600 tons of stores, and from
180 to 200 men.
The Rhadamanthus paddle-wheel steam store-ship,
Master Commander John Belam, left Woolwich yester-
day morning, and, after towing the Beaver steam-vessel,
with a quantity of spare machinery, and the funnel, &c.,
for the Royal Albert, to Sheerness, will proceed to Ports-
mouth with the machinery sent round to that port for
the Curacoa and the Swallow.
Very great improvements are in progress in Chatham
dockyard, A spacious new slip has been laid down, ad-
joining that on which the Orion, 91, screw steam-ship,
has been built. The Orion was originally designed for
an 80-gun ship, but during the last year was lengthened
35 feet amidships, in order to convert her into a 91

The slip has also been carried further inland than was
originally intended, in order to meet the requirements
for the great length of modern screw steam ships of war.
Messrs. Grissell and ?eta have put up the metal sup-
ports on the south-west side for the roof, which is to be
placed over the slip at a considerable height, to afford
room for ships of great depth to be built under it. On
the south-west side of the slip a roadway will be made
to admit of timber being carted from the wharf wall to
the sawmills or stacks where it is kept ready, when re-
quired. An hydraulic crane has been put upon the
wharf wall on so simple and powerful a princi-
ple that a boy can manage it, and remove a piece of
timber of the weight of four tons from a ship in the
river on to the waggon for conveyance to any part of
the yard. On the north-east side of the new slip a
spacious tunnel has been made, extending its entire length
and beyond into the mast-pond. Another powerful hy-
draulic crane, capable of raising ten tons, has been put
up on this side of the wharf wall, to remove the masts
and other heavy trees from the ships in which they may
arrive, previous to being taken into the mast-pond.
There is also a large convict prison being built, capable
of containing 1,000 convicts for the heavy work of the
yard.

QJ NITY OF FRANCE AND ENGLAND._
Mutual co-operation has taken place—an unity of interests
has been discovered, that will render the two nations the admiration
of every kingdom n earth. They have their Cistinct talents and
peculiarities, but, once amalgamated, there is no bound to their pro-
gress. It will have been observed that E. MOSES and SON were
the first to exhibit the c,mmercial consequences of the unity of
France and England. France produced its fancy fabrics for SUM-
MER ATTIRE, and E. MOSES and SON fashioned them into the
xsost approved costume for thit s,ai,on, for special or ordinary wear.
Thus France has produced fo" E. MUSES and SON, and they have
2nanufactured for them—having their Fatrons in France as well as
all other countries.

Theessential object of this treatise is to point out the fearfill con-
sequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities and excesses,
-which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation hi Man-
hood, and premature decay at all stages of Life, than, perhaps, any
other class of disease known to modern pathologists, Its perusal is
particularly recommeuded to persons entertaining secret doubts of
their physical condition, and who are conscious of having hazarded
the health happiness, and privileges to which every human being is
entitled.
It is absolutely necessary thatall men should know, that there are
principles of personal management which cannot be violated without
incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed
the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties
may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may he removed,
and how the evil and its con‘equene es may be avoided, and above all,
that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional
derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.
The Author has for a series of years been engaged in an extensive
practice in the treatment of these delicate complaints, which aro
unfortunately teen too generally confided to the care of ignorant
empirics, who inflict great injury on those who are induced to place
faith in their pretensions.

this action was brought.. If they had been paid be-
fore, I should not have brought the action. My'
housekeeping expenses whilst he was living with mu
were about 1,2001. a year. My old friend amisted me
on many occasions, Other friends also gave me 501. or
6. Oli at a time. I have spent all I had, and all my
jewels and furniture.
Crosst-exainined upon this additional-evidence—l lived
with defendant after I had received those letters from
Lord --a I kept them in my posseseiorkall the time.
Mr. Oxenharn, anctioner, proved that, in July, 1853,
he sold the plaintiff's jewels by auction for 7851., and her
furniture for 1,1621. 'Amongst 'the jewels sold was a
brilliant necklace ; it fetched 1351.
This was the plaintiffs case.
Mr. James then addreseed the jolly for the defendant.
His learned friend, with that solemnity of tone with
which he could quote " Hodibras" or the Bible, had.
spoken of the plaintiff appealing for justice, and not;
beirig sent empty away, but he hoped the jury would do.
justice to, the defendant also. They .were men of the
world, and they must look at this case, like all others,
in thelight of the surrounding circumstances. Instead
of opening this as a case in
young man
his friend

ues t
have known was the case, a m
in health and estate by his connection with the plaintiff,
he had' spoken of her as a flower plucked by him in the
innocence of her youth, who was
,now to he trodden
k
down and'apat upon. It Was, however, nothing of the""
kind. This was not the case of a young woman "thieved
,by the defendant from her home and then abandoned.
She had come from Bath 13 years ago, at'd had been
living with different young men ever since, the general
result being that she had ruined each of the.'n. She:
had been living with a tradesman's son, and, aa /right:
be expected, he was ruined in six months. She then
went to live with a noble lord. Whilst with him she
permitted the defendant to visit her, and after two
years, their illicit intercourse being discovered, she
went to live with the defendant. She lived with him
about three years, at the rate of. 1,2001. a-year, she
having but 4001. of her own, and the proceeds Of her
jewels and furniture ; and now that the connection had
terminated,' she sued him for board and lodging from
May 1850, to August 1852, to the amount of 1,4001.
She said he agreed to allow her 501. a month, or 6001.
a, year, hut that he'had not paid it. She admitted that
she had received money to pay bills, yet not a tradesman
had been called to prove that she had paid anything.
There was an impudence about the demand that was sur-
prising. Ile was not there to defend wtaing the anony-
mous letters or the rest of the defendant's conduct, but
he thought the jury would believe that they were made:
use of only to extort money from the defendant. The.:
plaintiff, without a blush upon her cheek, had detailedt
the nutnber of persons elm had lived with, and the base,
manner in which she had requited the confidence of her-
noble benefactor; and knowing that she could net recover
anything if she admitted an agreement to live with the de-
fendant in immorality, hh e and her advisers had resorted to
the, afterthought of making this demand for board and
lod2ing, thinking that the defendant's father would
rather pay it than submit to an exposure that mast he
so painful to him. They were, however mistaken. He
contended there was no sufficient proof whatever of the
contract she spoke of, and all probabilities were against
it. But even if it were true that there was such a con-
tract, the facts proved that the defendant had more than
performed it. It was now admitted that he had paid
bills to the amount of 1,1501., besides the money he had.
given her. He contended, therefore, that this was an
impudent charge, trumped up by a reckless and migrate-.
ful prostitute, whom, nevertheless, his friend described
as " a summer flower, ' and who relied upon the defen-
dant's absence from the country, and consequent ina-
tility to give evidence on his own behalf, to enable her
to succeed solely upon her own evidence. He, however,
entreated the jury to look at the case as men of the
world, and with all the surrounding circumstances. If
they did so they would see through it, and return a ver-
dict for the defendant.
The Chief Justice said this was an action for board
and lodging. The plea was, never indebted. Mr. James
said he defended the action for the father of the
defendant, who alleged that the only engagement be-
tween the plaintiff and defendant was a profligate one,
which the law would not sanction ; and, consequently,
that to avoid this difficulty the pretence of a contract of
board and lodging bad been adopted as an afterthought.
The only witness was the plaintiff herself. She swore
the defendant did enter into such a contract with her,
when she was induced to take the house in Lowndes-
street. The defendant was not called. They were told
be was abroad, where, if his father did his duty by
him, he would leave him for some time, to feel the con-
sequences of hie folly. Under these circumstances, the
jury mast look at all the circumstances of the cave. It
was not a case of romance. The defendant did not seduce
the plaintiff. It was said his learned brother had called
her "a summer flower;" but if he did_so, it was before
he had seen her, or probably he would have said she was
fall-blown. She objected to tell her age, but said she
had left Bath 13 years ago, since which time it was clear
she had been living with severalen in prostitution..
She bad been living with a trades,mman son, and in a.
very few months the natural result followed, and he
was ruined. She then went to live with her " old.
friend," a nobleman, and whilst living with him she.
became acquainted with the defendant. How, after this,
she could look in his venerable face, he could not tell ;
but she lived with the nobleman, and intrigued with.
the defendant, until some anonymous letters wens
written, and then her " old friend" turned her off. She,
then had 1,0001. to pay her debts, and after doing so
she had but 4001. left. After this she lived with the

FligNpra V. ROLT.
This was an action for 1,4501., alleged to be due for
board'and lodging, and ether necessaries, supplied by
'the plaiatiff to the defendant. The defendant pleaded
.never indebted.
Mr. Sergeant Byles and Mr. T. Jones was counsel for
the plaintiff;' and Mr. E. James, Q C., and gr. May-
nard for the defendant.
Mr. Sergeant Byles, in stating the plaintiff's case, said
she was a young lady of very great personal attractions
and accomplishments. He did not desire unnecessarily
to introduce into' the case the names of persons who had
nothing to do with it, and ho would not do so unless
obliged by the counsel for the defendant. He would,
therefore, only state then that previous to her acquaint-
ance with the defendant she had been. living in the
neighbourhood of Belgrave-square, under the protection
of-a nobleman, in a style, not of comfort merely, but of
splendour. Her house was richly furnished, she had a
carriage and other equipages, kept men and women
servants, and in short, lived in great luxury. The de-
fendant was the son of a gentleman who was a member
of Parhistment, and a man of great property. Ile was
riding one day in the Park, and saw her walking in the
neighbourhood of the Serpentine. He introduced 411121-
eelf to her. At first she repulsed his advances ; but he
was a young man and an agreeable man, and at last she
Consented to meet him in Kensington-gardens. The
acquaintance continued until the defendant became pas-
sionately, he might almost say, madly in love with her.
He became desirous of detaching her from the connec-
tion in which she stood with the nobleman, and -at
length he induced her to leave his protection and to
take the leae.of a house in Lowndes-street, Lowndes-
quare She. did so, and the defendant agreed to be-
come security for payment of rent. He also undertook
to pay her sn/. a month for his board and lodging, she
furnishing the house and supplying the household
necessaries. At this time she was possessed of money,
furniture, and jewels to a large amount ; but after
living together for three or four years, in consequence
of the defendant's extravagance and his breach of
contract, her money had been spent, and she had
been obliged to sell her furniture and jewels by pub-
lic auction. He would prOve that, in oilier to assist
Tim in his difficulties she had pledged her jewels and
other effects for 1,0001., and had afterwards sold them
for 1,3001. The defendant, forgetful of his engage-
ments, bad left her and gone abroad, and she was now
actually obliged to come there and sue him for the board
and lodging which he had contracted to pay her for.
After this statement, he well knew the difficulties of his
case. His client had fallen from female virtue. In the
prime and summer of her youth she had been used by
men for their sensual gratification, and now, he supposed,
it was to be suggested that she was only as dirt, to be
thrown aside and trampled on. In that court, however,
justice was administered, as it was in heaven, both to
those who had sinned and those who had not ; and if
the plaintiff had justice on her side, whatever might be
her character, she would not be sent empty away.
She would be called to prove her case; and if it were
suggested that she stated that which was not true, the
jury should remember that the same law which made her
a witness rendered the defendant eligible as a witness
also ; and therefore he begged the jury to believe, after
the plaintiff had made her statement, that if the defen-
dant did not come and contradict her, it was only be-
cause her statement was true and could not be contra-
dicted.
Ellen French—l am the plaintiff. In 1847 I resided
at Chapel-street, Park-lane. I had resided there about
three months when I became acquainted with the defen-
dant. I first saw him May 22, 1847. Afterwards I
went to live at Rutland-gate. On May 10, 1849, I went
to live at Lowndes-street, Lowndes-square, at the re-
quest of the defendant. I was living previously under
the protection of a noble lord, but his lordship received
some anonymous letters, which I believe were written
by the defendant, who wished me to live with him alone,
which I did not wish to do, and in consequence I sepa-
rated with his lordship. I took a lease of the house in
Lowndes-street for three years, at 1301. a year. The
defendant guaranteed the rent. He agreed to pay me
501. a month for board and lodging, and to keep men
servants and a carriage and horses. It was an unfur-
nished hi:Rise. I had some furniture at Tilbury's, and
furnished it myself. Defendant lived there for three
years. He only paid
,me for two or three months. It
was an expensive establishment. I was frequently in
want of money while he was there. I pledged my plate
and jewels for 7001. I afterwards pledged my furniture
to pay the interest on the money due on my plate and
jewels. I think it was worth 3001.
Cross-examined—l first saw the defendant in the Park
_ _

_..~

He visited me for two years before he lived with me. I had
previously known a person named French. Ido not know
that he was the son of a tradesman in the City. I lived
with him in Park-village, Regent's-park. I am not living
with any person now. Defendant, when I first knew
him, lived with his father. He left me two years ago
next August. I did not expend 4,0001. during the time
he lived with me, from 1849 to 1852. To the best of
my knowledge I did not receive more than 7001. or
8001. from him during that time- He paid the last two
bills. A carriage was kept. He said he would pay for
it, but he did not. I paid for it. Two horses were
kept. I bought them. He paid for their keep during
a part of the time. He gave me a riding horse, and
took it away from me again. I had it two or three
months. [A bundle of cheques was here handed to wit-
ness.] These are in the handwriting of defendant. They
have my initials, " E.M.F.," to them. He was in the
habit of debauching about London, and when that was the
case he used to put my initials to the cheques he drew in
consequence. He never gave me money. He generally
gave it to the lady's maid. I went to Brighton with him,
and to Bath, and to York, (luring 1850, 1851, and 1852.
Before I lived with Mr. French, whose name I took, I
had lived with somebody else. I never was 3 member of
the corps de ballet of the Opera House or the Adelphi
Theatre. I came from Bath thirteen years ago. I lived
with a gentleman a very short time before I came to
London. I have also lived with another person besides
those who have been mentioned. He was not ruined by
me. I never lived with a hotel-keeper in the Hay-
market. I don't know that Mr. French had 3,000/. when
I lived with him. He furnished the cottage for me.
Miss Clarke was my dress-maker. Defendant paid her
150'. for me. He kept a box at the opera before I went
to live with him. He paid Miss Clarke 2201. for dresses.
He paid Hunt and Roskell 1501. or 1601. for a bracelet
for me. It came to a good deal more, but they al-
lowed .me 125/. for an old one. He paid. 331. for a
bouquet holler. I opened an account with Hunt and
Roskell as Mrs. Fortescue. I lived in Chapel-place as
Mrs. French ; but some persons knew hie as Mrs. For-
tescue. I paid two years' rent in Lowndes-street. The
last quarter I received the money from him. An execu-
tion was issued against him whilst he lived in Lowndes-
street. I went from there to Charier-street, Westbourne-
terrace. I there took his name. He lived there two
months and a half. I did not whilst there break the
furniture and threaten to stab him. He has visited me
since. Afterwards we went to 8, George's-terrace. I
knew he secreted himself from executions. They com-
menced in March, 1852. I then sold the horses. The
coachman brought an action against him for 521. A
publican claimed 35/., and he paid it. My carriage
came from Laurie and Marner's. He wished me to
have a new one, and I exchanged my old one, and he
paid the difference. It was not much. I had 1,000/.
when I went to live with him. I had it from the noble-
man I lived with, on parting, to pay my debts. I spent
it all but 400/, in doing so. During the whole time de-
fendant lived with me he ran me into reckless extrava-
gance. I do not know where my lady's-maid is. She

Re-examined--I believe these anonymous letters to be
in defendant's handwriting.
The following letters were then put in and read.
They were addressed to the nobleman with whom
plaintiff was living at the time they were written :
" Lord --. -.YOur woman, Ellen French, has been
guilty, in conjunction with her maid and waiter at the
Albion Hotel, Brighton, of stealing a letter therefrom. As
there will be a terrible row, it is but proper that you
should know it.

defendant at the rate of 1,200/. a year. She had her
own necessary expenses, and horses, carriages, bijou-
terie, opera boxes, &c. Your wires and mine, gentle-
men (said his lordship) don't indulge in such things ; we
can't afford it ; bnt the plaintiff GIN. Where did the
money come from ? There was no plea- of payment, but
the defence was, that the defendant pa.'d for all those
things, and that this was inconsistent with the alleged

contract. The question was, was there BArch a contract
or not ? She swore it, and if they believed her, they
must find for her ; but if they thought the unOerstanding
was that they should live together immorally; and he
should pay the current expenses, their verdict should be
for the defendant.

The jury returned a verdict for the defendant.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER,

(Sittings at Nisi Prius, at Guildhall, after Term, befortt
the Lord Chief Baron and Common Juries.)
CHARD V. BIRCH-FALSE IMPRISONMENT.

Upon this case being called on, Mr. Crosse said he
represented the defendant, but he did not Bee the counsel
on the other side present.
The plaintiff said his solicitor had been in court until
the last few minutes, when he was obliged to go home
from illness, and his counsel were engaged in another
court, so that he had no one to appear LSI. him.
The Lord Chief Baron—Then you are an unhappy
man.

The Plaintiff—No, my lord, I am not unhappy.
(Laughter.)
The Lord Chief Baron—Well, then, you are.nnfortn-
nate, for yon are here when your cause is called on with-
out attorney or counsel ; you have a sick attorney, and'
your counsel are absent. I consider that an unt2appy"
position fur a plaintiff to be placed in. The usual rrode,
of proceeding—the jury having been 'sworn, and your•
counsel not being present—would be that you be
tuaisuitel. lam reluctant to put you to the expense of
appetrit.4 here again, therefore you shad state you 0"/

Mr. Crosse said that the action was brought to rr cover
damages for an alleged assault and false inipriso.nment,
and to this the defendant pleaded not guilty.
It appeared that the plaintiff, who is oft.-.* to
tuner, was returning home on the 11th Of January last,•
when, seeing some second-hand pianofortes in the shop.
of the defendant, a broker, in Old-street-road, he enteredhis shop and began to try one of them. The dt fendant,
on his asking the price of it, told him. it was IG/. 11;3

the defendant asked him if he intended to purchase, and!
if so, he would have a grand pianoforte in a few days

plaintiff was taken to the stet' h ion- ouse, where he was
detained for four hours, at the expiration of which time
he was enabled to obtain bail. On the following
morning, he appeared before the magistrate, and was
discharged.
Shortly after the plaintiff had made his statement,
Mr. E. James and Mr. Jones came into court, and apo-
logised for their not being present at the commence-
ment of the case, saying that they were engaged in
another court.

"Yours truly, " A FRIEND.
" Get your miniature, or y9ll may be ruined. Wishing
you well, I say fail not."
" Lord —. —Ask your woman who she slept with on
Friday at the Albion. Being an inmate that night at the
hotel, I actually slept nest room ; and being an old pal of
yours, I made up my mind to tell you. I asked the waiter
who that lady was. and he said Mrs. Rolt, which being an
untruth, as I knew, I was determined to write toyou. On
further inquiry, They tell me he sleeps at 19, Chapel-street
every night, and has done for this long time, I'll swear.
Ask —, opposite ; he must have seen what a vile woman
she is.—Yours truly, ,
" Wellingborough,../!Torthamptonshire.
" Ask who was with me."

For the defence, it was contended that the plaintiff
had caused the injury to the plaintiff through wilful
violence.

By the Judge—The letters, though anonymous, were
perfectly true.
Witness—l did not steal his letter ; but a letter came
to the hotel for him, addressed "A. A.," and I opened
it by mistake, thinking it was for me. Lord gave
me those letters,'and iii consequence of them we parted.
Hu also gave me. 1,0001. to ply my debts. (A num-
ber of trades-Men's .books were produced in which
the *mounts .*.ettlitletked tb' plaintiff.) " Nearly all
these; bills halioart3trol by defendant's father since

The jury, after a short deliberation, returned s verdict,
for the plaintiff, damages, 51.

mencement of the session, to Monday last, Only 28
public acts of Parliament have received the royal assent.
RUSSIAN RIFLES.—The following has been addressed
to the editor of the Times by a Prussian engineer :
" Sir,—l beg to say a few words on the Russian rifles,
whose needle-pointed bullets studded the sides and masts
of the English ships in the affair of Eckness: The Rus-
sian military rifles are constructed on the principle of
what is called in Germany a stielbuchse,' from a plug
standing up in the middle of the interior of the breach,
is rounded or flat at the base, cylindrical in the middle,
or spitzkugelbuchse,' from the shape of the bullet which
and forms a cone of considerable acuteness at the fore
part. The length of the barrel is about 30 inches, the calibre
.56 Prussian, or .577 English inches, exactly the bore of
your present Government rifle, the so-called Mini 4. The
rifling, consisting of four grooves, is also the same. The bul-

to keep it straight in the very axis of the bore. In this
smart
respect it has a slight advantage over the Minie, where
the expansion of the bullet 's intrusted to the force of
the exploding powder acting upon the hollow base of the
bullet. The small number of men hit by these bullets is
another proof of the incorrect shooting to which all rifles
with loosely fitting bullets are liable, especially after the
barrel has become foul by continued firing, In the
Prussian army, where the dictates of the science of gun-
nery are carried out practically, without regard to pre-
judie~ or exponse-- witness the manegement of the
Turkish artillery by Prussian officers-;--such guns have
been discarded since 1848."
