of all other nations. Our fleet should never be less
than that of the combined fleets of all the
maritime States in Europe ; and to the extent that
we are inferior to them all put together, have we a
right to complain of the gross mismanagement of our
Foreign policy.

The Paris Journals of Sunday have all been re-
ceived, together with advices from Madrid of the
15th, 16th, and 17th inst. The debates in the
Cortes, on the Address in answer to the Royal Speech,
entirely occupy the columns of the Madrid Journals.

We shall give the substance of them to-morrow. Ex-
tracts from the Paris Papers will be found in another

column.

EGYPTIAN HALL-WATERLOO

MODEL.

We were favoured yesterday with a view of the Waters
100 Model—as it is called—which is now in the course of
exhibition at the Egyptian Hall. This Model represents
the whole plain of Waterloo, which lies stretched out
before the spectator like a map, and shows the exact
position which the French and English armies held at half-
cwst seven o'clock on the evening of the 18th of June, the
period which the sketch illustrates. In one part of the
field we see the famous guard of Napoleon flying before
the British troops, and involved in all the disorder of an
overwhelming defeat ; while, in another part, the
Prussian detachments are coining up, headed by Bulow, for
the purpose of putting the finishing stroke to a victory
already more than half won. The minuteness with which
the several manoeuvrings of the opposing armies are de-
tailed is truly extraordinary ; nor less so the aspect of the
field, which, so far as we could perceive, is formed of a sort
of plaster of Paris, and represents the woods, the firm-
houses, and, more particularly, the waving corn-fields, w.th
the utmost fidelity, in all their real colours. In the centre
we see the high-road leading to Brussels, awl near i:
the farm of Hou4oumont, so often ms,:ntiened in all
accounts of the battle. The figures are each about an
inch in height, and are looked at through glass-s, which
are fixed upon the rails that enclose the model. Altogether
the exhibition is an exceedingly curious one, and well worth
a visit ; and some veterans of the gallant Forty-second,
who wear their Waterloo medals, and are in attendance to
explain the details, arc not the least interesting part of the
exhibition.

father had not a lady with him when he spoke to them, and
witness had never seen him before. A lady joined him after
he left them and had crossed the street. They went down
Grafton-stteet, the same as witness and plaintiff went, but
they did not follow him intentionally, and were not within
twenty yards of them. They did not again see him till they
were in Howland-street, and then, not until he came across
with a policeman. The lady was still with him. Plaintiff
never was near them, and was quite sure that she never looked
under the lady's bonnet.
Re-examined--All the time witness was on a visit to plain-
tiff. she slept with her, and she knew that she had an annuity
from a gentleman with whom she had lived.
Mr. Flowers. —The plaintiff had lived with her for two
years. On the night in question she was called out of bed,
and bailed her from the station- house.

Cross-examined.—Witness knew how plaintiff had been
living in Cleveland-street. A gentleman named Waller came
with her and took her lodgings ; and for near a year witness
did not know but they were m ,rriod. She now knew it was
not so, but the gentleman allowed her sufficient to live upon,
and she still lived in witness's house.

The police-sergeant who took the charge said the plaintiff
was in custody about tw ) hours. In h;s eross•examination he
said the defendant said, before al.- charge was booked, that he
cl:d not want to lock her up, and if she would not annoy him
are might go ; and after the charge was booked he wanted to
let her go, but as he was not a housekeeper his bail could not
be taken.

Mr. PLATT addressed the Jury for the defence. Had they
been fairly dealt with; who was the witness who conld have
given them a fair and impartial statement of the facts of the
case ? Why had they not called the policeman who took the
plaintiff into custody. The reason was, that he would have
cleared up all that had been carefully concealed from them of
this transaction They hid only got a slight glimmering of
it, but from even what was before them th ,y could easily see
how the case stood. They might fincy to themselves how any
of them would like if they were walking with a respectahle
lady on their arm, to be dodged about from street to street by
two females, who ,poeared to be of a certain class, and calling
out their names It was evident that such was the state of
facts in this case, and therefore, though his cli nt was not
justified in law in restraining the plaintiff's liberty for such an-
no.ance, the Jury would think a farthing would be sufficient
compensation for an imprisonment which had been entirely
brought upon her by her own conduct.
The LEARNED JUDGE summed up, and the Jury, after a
f'ew minutes' consultation, retu-ned a verdict for the plaiotiff—
Damages 101.

CoMMON PLEAS.—(THIS DAY.)

LASKEY V. BULL.

This was an action for malicious arrest, on a charge of felony.
Sergeant BOMPAS stated the case for the plaintiff, Mr.
Laskey, who he said was a cabinet maker, and bad occupied a
ho se in Judd-street, which was very much out of repair, and
wh ch he went to some expense to improve. Some complaints
had been made of his putting articles out for sale on the pave-
me:A, he removed to Hadlow-street, close by, setting up a
board at the house in Judd-street, informing the public where
he had removed. On his removal he took with him
disk rs materials for building, which he had bought for the
purposes of the repairs. Soon after defendant went to plain-
tiffs new residence in Hadlow-street, and charged him with
felony. Defendant first fixed on a piece of board as having
been stolen, but immediately gave it up " However," said
defendant, " I make a general charge of felony ;" and on that
charge plaintiff was taken into custody, and dragged to the
station-hou,e. The Magistrates at Hatton-garden immediately
dismissed the case. The defendant pleaded that plaintiff had
tenanted a house, which he had deserted, leaving put of the
rent unpaid, and had taken away some gates and other pro-
perty from the house.
Mr. Sergeant TALFOVRD appeared for the defendant.
Willi tins, a police officer, proved the charge of felony, the
arrest, and the discharge.
After an able address from Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD, the
Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff--Damages 101.
