ELLIS V. TWILLEY AND ANOTHER

Was an undefended action of debt for a builder's bill,
in which the jury returned a verdict for 56/. Cs. 31
execution being granted in a week.

SUMNER V. MOTKIN

Was an action of trover, also undefended.

THURSBY V. MORGAN AND JOHN COE

Was an action for rent.

Mr. Hayes and Mr. Prowett conducted the plaintiff's
case; Mr. llumfrey, Q.C., and Mr. Macaulay appeared
for the defendant Coe, and Mr. Flood for Morgan.
This appeared to be a joint liability. Coe tendered all
his own fair share—Morgan did not ; hence arose this
action against both jointly, and the verdict was returned
for the amount sought to be recovered-1001. 19*. 9d.
This closed the civil business of the assizes for this
county, at half•past two o'clock.
CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Baron PARSE.)
Simon Coles was indicted for the manslaughter, at
Northampton, on the 23d of May last, of James Turner,
and convicted by the jury, with a recommendation to
mercy. It appeared that the deceased had taken 2s. or
as. belonging to the prisoner, who was a fellow-lodger,
and a scant- ensued, which in a minute resulted in a
blow causing death:

His LORDSHIP, having administered an admonition,
passed a sentence of imprisonment, with hard labour,
for six weeks.

John Martin, aged 19, was indicted for having, on the
23d of May last, at the parish of Dingley, in this
county, feloniously assaulted, and cut and wounded with
a bludgeon, one Henry Spencer, with intention to kill
and murder him.

This case arose out of an ordinary poaching affray,
and presented no peculiar feature.
The jury returned a verdict of Guilty of common as-
sault. Sentince was deferred.
The cases of assault upon women were then taken, and
occupied nearly the remainder of the day.

PREFERMENTS.—The Rev. Gorge Edwin Patten-
den, 8.A., of St. Peter's College, Cambridge, to the
Head Mastership of the Humberstone School, Lincoln-
shire.
THE CROPS.—The uniform tenour of the accounts
concerning the crops in all quarters is highly favourable.
.
The hay crop in the south of England unpreeedentedly
heavy, and has been already to a great extent secured.
It the present representations be fully b 'rue out, the
crops of all sorts—potatoes, wheat, oats, and hay,
throughout Great Britain and I! cland—lNill be of rel
sagrkable bulk and forwardness.

lESENTATION OF COLOURS
TO TUE 23D FUSILIERS BY PRINCE

ALBEIt'f.

WINCHESTER, THURSDAY.—Many circumstances coat-
bibed to bring all the inhabitants of the surrounding
diitrioZ to Winchester this morning. First, the know-
' h dge that Lis Royal Highness Prince Albert would pre-
sen:: new colours to the 23d Fusiliers, and the length of
time since this the moat ancient incorporated city was
visised by Royalty, to which was added the circumstance
of this day being the anniversary of the .` Domum," when
all the families of note generally attend. Preparations
had been making for the last day or two to do honour to
the occasion, and well indeed did the Wintonians succeed
in their endeavours. Magnificent arches, covered with
boughs and choice flowers, were thrown across the street,
having on them appropriate devices. Most of the houses
displayed some kind of emblem, and the whole had a
most beautiful effect. The station was very neatly fitted
up. Many respectable persons were :Omitted by tickets.
Soon after 10 o'clock the Mayor, Aldermen, Recorthr,
and Corporation, came on the platform, in order to re-
ceive the Prince. Precisely at 11 o'clock the special
train arrived. His Royal Highness alighted, and was
received by the Dean, the Corporation, and Lord Frederick
Fitzclarence.

The Dean presented his Royal Highness to tho Mayor
and Aldermen and the High Sheriff of the county, and
three hearty cheers were given.
The Mayor then handed the following address to Mr.
Stock, the barrister, who is the Recorder of Winchester,
and he read it in a sufficiently loud tone to be heard by
most of those around:—

" TO HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS THE PRINCE ALBERT, CON-

SORT OF HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN.

" May it please your Royal Highness,
" We, the Mayor, Recorder, Aldermen, and citizens
of the ancient and loyal city of Winchester, embrace with
eagerness the opportunity afforded us by the visit of your
Royal Highness of tendering to your Royal Highness
our dutiful and affectionate respect, not merely on ac-
count of the exalted rank enjoyed by your Royal High•
ness as the consort of our beloved Queen, but for the fos-
tering care at all times bestowed by your Royal High-
ness on everyinstitution tending to the advancement of
the best interests of this great empire.
‘4 We trust your Royal Highness will be gratified in
visiting this the oldest incorporated city in the kingdom,
justly famed as being the scene of many important his-
torical events, and possessing some of the most admired
structures of former ages."
" And we earnestly pray to Almighty God that her
Majesty, our most gracious Queen, may, with your
Royal Highness, and your illustrious children, long live
in the warm affection of a united, prosperous, and happy
I people.
" Given under the seal of the said city of Win-
chester, this 12th day of July, 1849."
To this address the Prince returned the following an-
swer :
" I thank you very sincerely for the address which
you have just presented to me, and for the kind expres-
sions towards myself personally which it contains. "
I have avalkd myself with pleasure of this occasion
1 to visit the ancient city of Winchester, and to view its
venerable structures."

Three cheers were given for the Queen.
His Royal Highness was then conducted to an open
carriage, provided by the High Sheriff, and drawn by
four of that gentleman's splendid horses. A guard of
honour of the 4th Regiment was in attendance, with
their band, which played " God save the Queen," ac-
companied by the cheers of the multitude. The caval-
cade proceeded to the Cathedral, where the Prince was
received by the clerical dignitaries, who escorted him
over this venerable building, and pointed out to him the
monuments and curiosities which it contains. The an-
cient College of Winchester was then visited, and every-
thing connected with that institution was shown to the
Prince. During the time occupied in the manner we
have described Colonel Torreus, the commanding officer
at the barracks, was not idle; a beautiful pavilion had
been construeted in one of the parades, in which the party
were to partake of a splendid dejesiner, and a large room,
intended for a ball-room in the evening, leading to the
pavilion, had been fitted up with extreme taste. Soon
after twelve o'clock the signal sounded, and the 23d Re-
giment took their station on the parade, and at this time
the seats which had been placed in front of the barracks
were occupied by the nobility and gentry, with which this
county abounds, and a finer display of beauty and fashion
has seldom been witnessed. To the right of the barracks,
in a deep cutting is the South-Western Railway, and on
the opposite bank every available position was occupied
by well-dressed persons, who had been all the morn.
ing flocking into Winchester by train and all sorts of
conveyances. Thousands and thousands were present,
and the splendour of the day, and the varied colours of
the ladies' dresses, made the scene one that in effect
could hardly be surpassed. Lord Frederick Fitzclarence
and his staff now came upon the ground, and these were
followed by the band of the regiment, accompanied by a
beautiful white goat, handsomely decorated, which
always accompanies the drum-major, and which was
presented to the regiment about three years since by
her Majesty. It has on its head a silver medal, bearing
an inscription of the battles in which the regiment has
been engaged. The hour of one o'clock approaching,
the old colours of the regiment were brought forward.
These showed the wear of time; they were rent almost
to atoms, and this was the last occasion upon which the
men were to look upon these monuments of their fame
as their own. In a few minutes his Royal Highness
came upon the parade; he had changed his dress, and
was now attired in the uniform of a Field-Marshal; he
was attended by Lord Frederick Fitzclarence and a
small suite. " God save the Queen" was played, and
the colours were lowered. The Prince then went
down the line and inspected the men. The regiment
was then formed into three sides of a square, and the
drums were piled in the centre. The new colours
were marched in and unfurled by the major and
senior captain, and placed upon the drums. They were
then consecrated by the Chaplain- General. His Royal
Highness presented those colours to the major and se-
nior captain, who received them en their knees. In
doing this,
His ROYAL HIGHNESS addressed them, and recapitu-
lated the numerous battles in which this regiment has
been engaged.* Ho said that although they and all
were well acquainted with the services of the regiment,
still he had thought it right to recapitulate them as the
surest mode of appealing to them to maintain the high
name which their regiment had alway a rejoiced in. One
colour, which was more emphatically called "the Queen's
colour," was to remind them of their duty to their So-
vereign and their allegiance to their country. The other,
called " the Regimental colour," was to be the test of
their determination to maintain the honour of their Te-
-1 giment. Let the one, then, bind them always to be true
to their Sovereign and their country, and the other in-
duce them to show, by good coeduct as men as well as
soldiers, that they had a proper regard for the fume and
honour of the 23d Regiment.
Lieutenant-Colonel TORRENS then addressed his
Royal Highness, stating how deep was their pride and
exultation upon hearing his Royal Highness refer with
such accuracy to the services rendered by this regi-
ment. They had heard this with pride and emotion
from the lips of the highly-honoured Consort of the
Sovereign to whom they had devoted their lives.
There were but few officers left who had had any share
in the glories they had heard enumerated. Since
the termination of the last general war, the regiment
had performed faithfully and honourably, and not with
less glory, a long career of foreign and colonial services.
They had suffered under the snows of Canada and the
heats of the West Indies. It had been his pride to see
the discipline of the regiment maintained, and he knew
well whenever the time of trial should arrive that disci-
pline so tried would be still found to exist in the same
efficient manner as when they were called to meet the
French masses on the heights of Albuera and on the
plains of Waterloo.
The CHAPLAIN-GENERAL then addressed the men in a

very eloquent manner, calling upon them not only to
evince their loyalty to their Sovereign, their love to their
country by bravery in the field, but to exalt themselves
still higher by setting an example as good men.
The new colours having been saluted, the old colour=,
round which the men had rallied in times of danger and
in the heat of the battle, were marched in honour off the
ground, to be preserved, however, so long as the material
could hang together, as a remembrance of the exertions
made by the 23d Fusiliers to preserve the honour of th it
country.
The regiment then marched in slow and quick time
round the ground, and then came forward and saluted
the Prince, upon which his Royal Highness went up to
Colonel I'orrens and expressed the gratification he had
experienced in the appearance and discipline of the men.
Each office: was now presented to the Prince.
His Royal Highness then went to the pavilion and
partook of a dejttiner, and having changed his dress,
entered the Royal carriage of the special train, which
was drawn up at the bottom of the stairs belonging to
the barracks, and took his departure amidst the cheers
of thousands to join her Majesty at the Portsmouth
Regatta.
The Hampshire Yeomanly were in attendance.
A great many children of the regiment, very nicely
dressed, marched with the soldiers. _ _

We cannot conclude our remarks without expressing
our acknowledgments to Colonel Torrens, Captain Har-
ris, the chief superintendent of police; Mr. Bayley, the
town clerk of Winchester; and Mr. Dane, the railway
superintendent, by each of whom every assistance was
rendered for our accommodation.

* The 23d has upon its colours the following honour
able bearings : " Minden," " Egypt," " Corunns,'
" Martinique," " Albuera," " Badajoz," " Salamanca,'
" Vittoria," " Pyrenees," " ' " Orthes," " Tou-
louse," " Peniusulnr," " Wet. ,loo."

Ma. MACAULAY'S EXTRACTION.—The historian's
grandfather, the Rev. John Macaulay (who had a brother
the Rev. Kenneth Macaulay, incumbent of Cawdor)
was minister of south Uist, whence he was translated, in
1755, to L'.smore, and, in 1765, to Inverary. He was in
Invt.rary when Johnson and Boswell visited the High-
lands in 1773. Boswell very characteristically says of
him, "Being a man of good sense, he had a just admi.
ration of Dr. Johnson." In the following year (1774)
Mr. Macaulay was translated to Cardross, Dumbarton-
shire. This gentleman was married to the &tighter of
a small Argyleshire proprietor, Mr. Campbell, of In.
reresragan. His distinguished grandson has, therefore,
a strong dash of Highland blood in his veins.—lnver•
ness Courier.

[ADVERTISEMENT.] A Life Guardsman, one of
the Heroes of Waterloo, cured of Rheumatism by Holloway's
Ointment and Pills.—Mr. Thomas Brunton, landlord of the
'
Waterloo Tavern, Coatham, Yorkshire, was filleted for many
months with rheumatism and rheumatic gout. His legs were
dreadfully painful, and disfigured with colours of every hue,
frightful to behold. For ten weeks he was wholly unable to
walk, the treatment he received from several medical men not
only failing to do him any good, but leaving him, in fact, in a
considerably worse condition. At this juncture Holloway's
Pills and Ointment were resorted to, and by their sole means
he has been restored to health and strength —Sold by all
