wherever the Imperial cavalcade comes people are filled
with dread and alarm. It is better, then, to allow these
officials to work on without interruption, in which case
they will be able to complete their undertaking. But if
you go personally to inspect what they are about they will
not be able to bring anything to perfection. This is ano-
ther way in which Princes may employ their subjects ac-
cording to propriety. When a Prince thus manifests a
degree of gracious consideration in his conduct towards his
subjects, then his subjects will be more especially affected
with gratitude in order faithfully to serve their Princes.
If you carry out this method of treatment, from the female
officers to the male persons employed, then those who are
engaged in any military expedition will expose themselves
to distresses abroad, such as sleeping on their arms and
fightingamid frost and snow. When the Prince thus cherishes
a kind consideration for his subjects, his subjects will
exert themselves to serve him faithfully in order to repay
the benevolence of the Prince. This shows how, when the
Prince employs his subjects according to propriety, sub-
jects will serve their Prince with fidelity. With respect
to the female apartments, Royal reformation must begin
there. The Palace is a fountain from which all govern-
ment springs ; hence, he who wishes to illustrate intelli-
gent virtue throughout the empire will first regulate his
country, and he who wishes to have his country well regu-
lated will first put his family in order. At present, through
the favour of our Heavenly Father, the number of ladies
at Court is very great, the daughters of the Prince are
also very numerous ; it will not, therefore, be right to lis-
ten only to the statements of the elder ladies, and not give
heed to the complaints of the younger ones ; still less
would it be right to mind the prattle of the younger
branches of the Royal family, to the exclusion of the
remonstrances of the elder ones. In every case
you should allow both parties to make their state-
ments clearly, and thus you may decide between them
as to which party is in the right and which in the
wrong, without showing any partiality to either. When
the ladies wait upon you, my elder brother, it is of course
their duty, but sometimes they may be apt to excite your
righteous displeasure, in which case you must treat them
gently, and not kick them with your boot on, for if you
kick them with your boot on, it may be that some of the
ladies are in such a state as to call for the congratulations
of their friends, and thus you interfere with the kind in-
tentions of our Heavenly Father, who loves to foster hu-
man life. Further, when any of the ladies are in the state
above alluded to, it would be as well to manifest a little
gracious consideration, and allow them to rest from their
labours, while you select some separate establishment for
their residence and repose. You may still require them
naorning and evening to pay their respects. Such a method
of treatment would be proper and, if still any of the
ladies should commit any trifling fault so as to give offence
to my Lord, it would be as well to excuse them from be-
ing beaten with the bamboo. You may, however, scold
them severely, and tell them not to offend any more.
Should any of them commit any grievous crime, you should
wait till after their confinement, when you can inflict
punishment.
" The Celestial King then praised his adviser, saying,
Your observations, brother Tsing, are all important, and
may be considered the specifics for managing families, go-
verning countries, and ruling the whole empire.'
"Th Eastern Prince replied, That which I have just
observed is what Princes would not of themselves think of;
hence the necessity of a faithful minister to report"'

The preceding is a translation of part of a pam-
phlet just received from Nankin. The whole is
too full of repetitious to admit of being fully de-
tailed. One sentence, however, must be given as
showing the amount f error to which they have
reached, in consequence, perhaps, of not having
having had some one to guide them :
" The Celestial King said, That which you, my brother
Tsing, have reported may be considered an important spe-
cific and a precious remedy, every word of which is con-
sistent with the highest reason, and fit to be preserved as
a rule for succeeding generations. When our Celestial
elder brother Jesus, in obedience to the commands of our
Heavenly Father, came down into the world, in the
country of Judea, he addressed his disciples, saying—' At
some future day the Comforter will come into: the world.'
Now I, your second older brother, considering what you,
brother Tsing, have reported to me, must conclude that
the Comforter, even the Holy Ghost, spoken of by our
Celestial elder brother, is none other than yourself."

Accordingly, Yang-Sew-Thing has since assumed
the title of the Comforter, which is the Holy
Ghost, which he appends to his name in all his
proclamations. He also requires his name to be
included in the doxology which is addressed to the
Heavenly Father, and chaunted every morning
and evening.

CRIMINAL COURT.--,dept. 20.

OLD COURT.

(Before Mr. Justice Erie and Mr. Justice Crowder.)
Wm. Howe, Was. Thompson, and Gaya» Rickards,
three respectable-looking men, the former of whom has
for some time practised as a solicitor at the different
police courts, surrendered to take their trial for misde-
meanour, for having unlawfully conspired together to
defraud the ends of justice, by means of perjury and
false representations.
Mr. Bodkin, Mr. Ballantine, and Mr. Sleigh were
counsel for the prosecution. dr. Parry, Mr. Metcalfe,
and Mr. Horne appeared for the defendants.
Evidence was given that the persons who offered
themselves as bail for the prisoner Blatchford gave false
addresses, and were not to be found when inquiries were
made respecting them. This (with the evidence given
in yesterday's paper) closed the case for the prosecution.
Mr. Parry then addressed the jury on behalf of the
defendant Howe, and he contended that he had merely
acted upon the instructions he had received in the mat-
ter ; and he said that if the jury should be of opinion
that he had been deceived himself, they ought not to
convict him upon the present charge. He urged that
so far as he was personally concerned he did not appear
to have done any more than any other attorney or attor-
ney's clerk would have done, and there was no evidence
to show any connection between him and Thompson or
Rickard:, except what might naturally be supposed to
exist between persons in their position of life. He also
called the attention of the jury to the fact that Mr.
Simpson, the employer of the defendant, was proved to
have been in attendance, and yet he had not been called
as a witness for the prosecution ; and he said it appeared
to him from this that it was clear he would have proved
that the defendant had merely acted under his authority
and according to the instructions he had received, and
that if there was anything wrong in the transaction he
had no cognisance of it. _ _ _

Mr. Miicalfe and Mr. Horne also addressed the jury
for their respective clients, the former learned gentle-
man urging that there was not sufficiently positive proof
that Thompson did not in reality serve the notice at the
place mentioned in his affidavit ; and the latter con-
tending, on behalf of his client, that he had been made
a dupe by some other parties, and that he had inao-
cently signed the paper that was the principal point of
evidence against him without any idea that he was com-
mitting a criminal act, or assisting to carry out any cri-
minal object.
Mr. Justice Erle having summed np, the jury im-
mediately returned a verdict of guilty against all the
defendants.

His Lordship, in passing sentence, said that the
prisoners had been convicted of a crime of ♦ery great
magnitude, in preventing the course of justice and pro-
curing the discharge of a person who was charged with a
considerable crime by means of perjury and fraud. They
appeared to have acted in the matter solely for the
purpose of obtaining profit to themselves, and persons
who thus acted must be taught by a severe punishment
that those who attempted to interfere with the adminis-
tration of justice, with such an object, must look forward
to the most miserable consequences to themselves. It
was an aggravation of their offence, as it appeared to
him, that they were all connected with the administra-
tion of the law, and must be perfectly well aware of the
serious nature of the act they were committing, and,
under all the circumstances, he felt it his duty to order
them to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for 18
calendar months.

NEW COURT.
(Before the Recorder.)

George Pawson, 31, labourer, was indicted for a street
robbery, with violence, committed upon the person of
Thomas Taylor.
It appeared that upon the 30th of August, at about
nine in the evening, the prosecutor, who was tipsy, was
passing along Fenchurch-street, when the prisoner, who
is a very powerfully-built, ugly-looking ruffian, came up,
and putting his face close to the prosecutor, said, " Do
you know me ?" and Lefore the prosecutor had time to
make any reply prisoner seized him by the leg, and
throwing him violently upon the ground, fell upon him,
and, beating him about the body, thrust his hand into
the prosecutor's pockets and began rifling them. Some
persons who were passing interfered and succeeded in
rescuing the prosecutor from further violence. Prisoner
then ran away, having first torn away the prosecutor's
waistcoat-pocket, which, however, only contained one
penny. The prisoner was then pursued and taken into
custody, and a penny piece was found in his hand.
The jury found him guilty.
An officer from the Mansion-house said the prisoner
had been for the last four years an incorrigible thief, and
during that time continually in and out of prison.
The Recorder sentenced the prisoner to four years'
penal servitude.
