CREMORNE GARDENS.-BALLOON ASCENT.

Public sympathy has for some little time past been
directed towards the suffering artistes connected with the
Cirque of the Rosemary Branch Gardens, which was de-
stroyed by fire about three weeks since, and who lost on
that occasion what might be termed their little all—though,
indeed, unfortunately, it was not a little of which many
were completely deprived. Last night, through the kind
offer of Mr. Simpson, a fete was held at these gardens, to-
wards restoring these talented and deserving men to their
former position, and much pleased are we to be able to
bear testimony to its entire success. It was not inaptly
termed a monster gala. Amusing novelties, effective
performances, and startling displays commenced at
the early hour of three, and continued until past
twelve, when the very large company who had
responded to Mr. Simpson's invitation separated
with feelings of the greatest gratification at the delight-
ful evening afforded them. -11) here all was so good, it
would appear difficult to select, but justice compels us to
refer to what certainly was the great event of the evening ;
the wonderful trapeze ascent of Edouard Bouthelier, one
of the Italian Brothers, whose coolness, elegance, and ac-
tivity must be seen to be properly appreciated. The bal-
loon appointed for the ascent was the "Prince of Wales,"
and long before the ascent was completed a crowd of spec-
tators was formed, who were not to be drawn from the
spot by any of the many tempttdions which at Cremorne
constantly fall in your way, and when the moment arrived
at which the clever gymnast, like a perched parrot head
downwards, was borne away, the cheers of the astonished
multitude rent as it were the very air. Amongst other
marked performances were the Ether Family, father and
five sons, whose classical groupings were decidedly the
best we ever saw. The descent was effected safely at Tot-
tenham, and by eleven o'clock the daring voyager returned
to perform his Feat le Saut de Riviere.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT, THIS DAY.

OLD COURT.
(Before Mr. Justice Talfourd.)

John Auguste Labat, 40, described as a merchant,
and Guillaume Carl Theophile Sange, 30, described as a
writer, were indicted for conspiring together to cheat
and defraud Pierre Davier of certain goods, his property.
Mr. Parry prosecuted, and Mr. Robinson defended
the prisoners.
It appeared from the evidence that the prosecutor,
who carries on business in Paris, received a letter signed
C. C. T. Sane and Co., 21, London-wall, stating that
some person had shown them some of his truffles, which
were of a very excellent quality, and requesting to be
supplied with 100 bottles by way of trial or sample, for
which, they added, they would pay at the usual terms,
or accept a draft payable either at Paris or Bordeaux.
These as well as other goods were forwarded to the
above address by the agent of the prosecutor in London ;
but some suspicion having been excited as to their
honesty, an application was made for the money or the
truffles, but neither were received, and it was found out
that the prisoners did not carry on any bona fide busi-
ness, but were merely in the occupation of a back room
in London-wall, for which they paid 7s. a week. It
further appeared that they were both political refugees ;
that Sangd was in the receipt of his. a week from some
charitable society, and that each of them were in the
occupation of cheap and humble lodgings.
The learned Judge having summed up, the jury, after
some deliberation in the box, said that they could not
agree ; and his lordship directed that they should retire,
and they had not returned their verdict when we went
to press.

NEW COURT.
(Before the Common Sergeant.)

George Clarke and a Jew named Jewell, who surren-
dered, were indicted—Clarke for stealing a watch, chain,
and key from the person of John Richards, and Jewell
for receiving. Mr. lorry prosecuted, and Mr. Ballan-
tin e and Mr. Metcalfe appeared for the defence of Jewell.
It appeared that on the second day of July the prose-
cutor, who is a seaman, was robbed by four men whilst
crossing Tower-hill, one of whom was Clarke. On the
24th of July, Richards happening to be at the Thames
Police Court, saw Clarke, who was there under charge
for some other offence, and instantly recognised him as
one of the men. An inquiry was then set on foot, and
Jackson, a detective, found that Jewell, who is a dealer,
was in possession of the watch. Jewell stated that he
had bought the watch of one Caramelli, another dealer,
whom the officer took into custody, and Jewell came as
a witness.

Caramelli then denied having sold the watch, or
having seen it, and upon further examination before the
magistrates. a person named Isaacs appeared, who swore
that Jewell had come to him and asked him the value
of the watch. Caramelli still protesting his innocence,
the magistrate sent Jewell and Clarke for trial, and
bound him over to prosecute.

Caramelli, who was examined, gave a very unsatis-
factory account of this transaction, and denied that he
had ever had the watch, or any like it, about the time.
For the defence, it was shown that Caramelli had
offerred a similar watch as the one stolen, to a medical
gentleman for sale the night after the robbery ; that
Jewell, so soon as he got the watch, showed it to seve-
ral people, and said that he had bought it from Cara-
melli. That Caramelli called at his (Jewell's) house on
the night previously to his being seen in the possession
of the watch. It was further proved that a shopman in
the employment of Jewell's father, having occasion to
see Caramelli, said, "What a nice watch you have sold
young Jewell ;" and the witness Caramelli said, " Yes, I
have, but I sold it too cheap."
A host of witnesses were called, who proved that
Jewell, who is but a lad, bad borne a very high cha-
racter.

Mr. Ballantine at some length addressed the Jury,
and contended that upon the result of their verdict no
ulterior proceedings would be taken against Caramelli.
' Mr. HoiTy having replied upon the nature of the evi-
dence, for the defence,
His Lordship summed up.
The Jury, after some deliberation, found Clarke
guilty, and acquitted Jewell.
Sentence on Clarke deferred.

THE COURT.—At the Privy Council, to be held by
her Majesty this afternoon, at Osborne, Isle of Wight,
it is expected that the Royal Speech, on closing the
session of Parliament will be agreed on, to be delivered,
it is understood, by commission. The progress pf the
new works at Buckingham Palace, is said to be the
cause of the Sovereign not coming to London to deliver
the speech in person from the throne. The architect,
since the departure of the Court, has given directions
for uniting the new buildings with the principal floor of
the palace, for which purpose the walls have had to be
broken through in several places.
THE NEW CITY MARKET IN COPENHAGEN-FIELDS.—
Yesterday Mr. H. L. Taylor, the chairman of the Mar-
kets Improvement Committee of the Corporation, and
other members of the body, were busily engaged during
the greater part of the day on the site of the new mar-
ket, in Copenhagen fields. 500 workmen were employed
on the ground in constructing sewers and raising the
wall by which the whole market is to be surrounded.
Mr. Willson, of Southwark, the contractor for that de-
partment, superintended the labours of the men, who
