SPENCER'S CHINESE LIQUID HAIR DYE
The thousands of individuals who for upwards of twenty
rears have used this celebrated liquid, pronounce it to he the only
article extant which effectually changes, in a few minutes, red or
grey hair, whiskers, moustaches, &c., to a dark brown or black,
without trouble (by Amply combing it through the hair), and pro-
duce. by one application a pleasing and permanent change.
While other dyes destroy the hair by their pernicious properties,
this liquid promotes its growth, nourishing the roots to the latest
period of life. Pe sons who have been deceived by preparations
which have a horrible synch (dangerous to the head), troublesome
in their apnlleation, and unsatisfactory in their colour, will find
Spencer's Chinese Liquid Hair Dye a distinct article, agreeable in
every respect, and that " none but itself can be its paral.el." Price

VI"ON OF A VOi'ER

I laid me down beneath night's sombre pall,
And dreamt a dream of London's Civic Hall.
'Tis strange that such a dream should cross my brain,
Put so it is when poets take Champagne.
The dream was this—that I was calmly strolling
Inside the Hall, soon after noth,child's 1.111 N%
When, all at once. I halted 'n my walking,
On hearing voices, as of persons talking.
So ter •Ing round to ascertain the noise,
The talkative,. I found, were two big boys.
One's name was Magog and the other's ("log;
And this Is something Of their dialogue :

THE POTTERS' EMIGRATION SOCIETY.—On Wed-
nesday evening last Mr. Ev ins, founder of the Pi.tters'
Enalgrati al Society, delivered a lecture at Csrpen e-s'
Hall. The large and carnmodious room was ivell filled;
and the lecture, developing the principles and objects of
the society, was listened to with much interest. From
the statements of the lecturer, it would appear that the
Potters' Society is now in possession of three large
estates in Western America. The first estate, compris-
ing 1,600 acres, is now peopled; it is named Potters yille. The second estate, comprising 2,000 acres, and
named Emancipation, is in the course of peopling. It is
on the south bank of the Fox River, and is said to com-
prise a succession of " oak openings," and to be rich in
minerals. The third estate, comprising the large quan-
tity of 12,000 acres, is situate on the north brnk of the
Fox River, and runs parallel with Emancipation. Two
hundred families are now located on the last purchase,
and from the remarks of the lecturer it would appear
that the colonists are well satisfied with their change of
country. Mr. Evans lectured at Bury on the previous
Monday, and at Staleybridge and Ashton-under-Lyne on
Thursday and Friday evenings. The society appears to
be in a progressive and prosperous state, the receipts for
thelast week being 1221.17 a. 9} I.—Manchester Examiner.
FIRE AT BETHNAL-GREEN.—LaSt evening, about
five o'clock, the inhabitants of Ann-street, Bethnal
green-road, were greatly alarmed in consequence of the
outbreak of a fire upon the premises in the joint occupa-
tion of Mr. Silverton, a fancy cabinet-maker, and Mr.
Taylor, a trimming manufacturer, situate in the above-
named thoroughfare. The flames originated from some
cause at present unknown, and so rapidly did they pro-
gress, that in the space of a few minutes the whole of
Mr. Silverton's stock in trade became ignited, and when
the fire penet ated the roof it ascended so fearfully as to
endanger the contiguous property. The mains of the
East Landon Comp my having yielded an abundant
Supply of water, the parish engines and firemen set to
work

Cross-examined by Mr. WATSON-1 am in the Church
still. lam not doing duty. I bought a few railway
shares in the autumn of 1845. I bought ten in 1847.
I had nothing to do with the funds in 1846. I had to
do with railway shares. I never gained anything by
railway shares. I was introduced to the defendant by
Youn,michael. I received the balance when it was in
my favour. I have received money from Doxittn twice.
[le resided at Bayswater. and had his seat at a hr..ltor's.
The defendant never told me he did the business through
West or Crook. The defendant is not a br..ker. I
wrote to him every day from the country. I never• had
the prtc,s of thus day sent to me. I have written to tle-
tendant on a Sunday; perhaps betw-en churches. No
broker's contract was handed in with the document on
the 16th of December, nor wi h the one in J snutry
ur
Fef.ruary. I tiever saw a broker's contract. Edward
l'ecer Cooper. rho- plaintiff, is my brother. He used to
he a manufacturer in Wiltshire. I am not doing any-
thing now fur my livelihuoi. I am living with my mother-
in law.
J-tin Beaton, clerk in the Bank of England, was then:
called, and proved that, by the direction of the ac
euuntatit. t.e had searched the bo ks of the Coesels from
he year 1840 to the present dn.., and that neither Mr.
Cooper nor the defendant bad had any during any part
of that period.
George Webb, the secretary of the Stack Exchange.
was then called, and proved that the defendant was not,
and never had been. a member of that establishment.
Mr. MARTIN then proposed to put in the bill and
answer in the Court of Chancery, but not being fur-
nished with an examined copy, the evidence was objected
to and withdrawn.
Mr. WATSON then addressed the jury for the defen-
dant, and contended that there was no sufficient evidence
to show that the defendant knew that Mr. Cooper was
not possessed of the stock in question. The jury must
be satisfied that the defendant .knew that fact before he
could be made liable to the penalties imposed by the Act.
Mr. Cooper himself admitted that he had paid the differ-
ence when it was in his favour, and now, when his
speculations had proved unsuccessful, he sought to make
the defendant answerable.

Lord DENiami then summed up the evidence to the
jury. His Lordship said that, in his opinion, there was
evidence in support of the two counts—the third and the
fourth; and there was also evidence that the defendant
was an agent within the meaning of the Act of Par-
liament. His Lordship remarked, that he had never
before tried an action founded on this Act of
Parliament, and expected at first that there might be
some difficulty about it. It turned out, however, to
be a very simple thing. The parties had made a bar-
gain, and agreed to pay the difference; and the ques-
tion was, on the third and fourth counts, whether the
defendant had made the contract, as alleged, with the
knowledge that Mr. Cooper was not actually possessed
of the stock. No doubt it was a very improper proceed-
ing on the part of Mr. Cooper, who was a clergyman,
and anything but creditable to him ; but the simple
question now was, did the defendant know that Mr.
Cooper was not possessed of the stock ? In the case of
receiving stolen goods, h was tufficient to convict the re-
ceiver if at the time of receiving the goods he had the
conviction that they had been stolen, and they turned
out to have been so ; and so in this case, if the jury,
knowing that,Mr. Cooper had no stock, should believe
that the defeLdant was aware of that circumstance, he
might be convicted in these penalties. There was some
evidence that the defendant had knowledge of that fact,
for the witness had said, in answer to a question on the
suhj,ct, -I should say the defendant was aware of that."
Ise sufficiency of that evidence, however, was for the
jury, ho would judge from all the circumstances whether
the defendant must have known that Mr. Co.ier was not
actually possessed of the stock the sale of which he (die
efendant) had negotiated.
The jury then found a verdict far the plaintiff, which
a ;tit, ly • ntcred in his favour, with a penalty of
1001. on the third count, and a penalty to the same amount

JUDGMENT AT FAULT.

Lord DENMAN, at the slung of the court, said tba,
their Lordships had fallen Into a mistake in naming this
they tor .be celivery of judgments, the Act of Parlia-
ment not giving any auth,,rity to the Court to pronounce
liol4mPot 1101,ba on those days in the vacation on which
Niai Prius Sittings wort. h.ld. The ,ntention of the
Court, when is named this day fur the delivery of judg-
tneuts was, that ihey should ttke kilt- et it pronounce d
iii laht tt rut; but that effect we uld not, it now appeared,
attach to tiieui as a matter of law; und, except by con-
sent of the parties, they could not take effect as judg-
ments b tore !text term. The Court would, however.

ow deliver them, leaving the eun.ideration of the mat•
ter open to parties tor agreement as to whether they

THE QUEEN V. THE JUSTICES OF GLOUCESTER.
deTenndants, rualirsitrtiti"ortri,
order of maintenance on the putative father of an ille-
gitimate child. The application bad been once board,
and dismissed, on the ground of the absence of cor-
roborative evidence. Subsequently, another summons
had been taken out for a re-hearing, but was dis-
missed by the justices on the ground that the cause had
already been disposed of. A rule for a mandamus
was then obtained, calling on the defendants to
show cause why they refused to hear the application,
the party being prepared to offer additional evidence.
That, in fact, was the question raised for the opinion of
the Court. It had been contended that no second hear-
ing, in cases of this description, could be permitted; but
the Court was of opinion that the 7th and Bth Victoria,
c. 101, gave the mother of a bastard child a remedy
similar to that which existed under the previous law in
layout. of parishes against a person charged as the puta-
tive father of an illegitimate child. Looking at the
statute, the reasonable construction of it seemed to the
Court to be that there should be a second hearing, even
though the case had been disposed of at the first hear-
ing, upon the merits, it being open to the magistrates
to treat the new evidence with great caution. The
Court, then, was of opinion that the magistrates were not
warranted in refusing to hear the case, and the rule for a
mandamus must therefore be made absolute.
HALKETT V. THE DIRECTORS OF THE MERCHANT
TRADING AND SHIPPING ASSOCIATION.

This was an action to recover damages on an in-
surance effected on a vessel in the company of which the
defendants are directors, and resulted in a verdict

execution failing of being satisfied, a rule was ob-
tained calling on Earl Talbot to show cause why execu-
tion should not issue against his property, in order to
make good the sum claimed by the plaintiff. The ground
on which the rule was obtained was, that Earl Talbot
was a large shareholder in the company, to the extent of
1,000 shares, at 501. each, which he took when Lord In•
g -titre, and on which he paid a sum of 175/. On the
execution against the company's goods having failed, the
plaintiff issued a fiat, and the company was declared
bankrupt, plaintiff being appointed assignee. The debt.
of the company amounted to 60,0001, of which 54,8001.
had been proved. To meet those debts, there were out)
assets to the amount of 8,000/. The directors kept out
of the way, and the plaintiff therefore applied for leave
to issue execution against Earl Talbot. The Court
having heard the arguments of counsel in the case, took
time to consider.
Lord DENNAN now went over the facts of the ca.e.
and pronounced that the plaintiff was precluded, by ihe
form of his policy. from having recourse against the pro-
perry of the tudi.iduals or the company to &attar 3 his
c aim. The judgment of the Court. therefore, was, that
the rule must he discharged, with c

Lord DENMAN oeltvered j,digiueut in this case. The
question at issue was, whether the defendant could be
sued. who h.d signed a charter-party note under sale,

cipal. The Court was of opinion that the party who exe-
cuted an instrument in the name of another, ho only

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, July 10.
(Sittings at Niai Prius, before Lord Chief Justice WILDE
and a Special Jury.)
BARRE V. HILL.
This was an action brought by the plaintiff, a ship-
owner and broker, carrying on business in Nicholas-
lane, in the City, against the defendant, a merchant at
Liverpool, and surviving partner of the firm of Smith
and Hill, of Liverpool, to recover a sum of 5,5971., for
certain information and services supplied and rendered to
the defendant.
Mr. Cockburn, Q.C., Mr. Sergeant Kinglalce, and Mr.
Montagu Smith were counsel for the plaintiff, and Sir
Frederick Thesiger, Q.C., Mr. Sergeant Channel], and
Mr. Cowling for the defendant.
It appeared that the plaintiff was a gentleman particu-
larly cognizant of the effect of the different tariffs and
rates of duties upon articles imported into.this country,
and having noticed that the duty charged upon paddy,
or rough rice, was higher than ought to be taken ac-
cording to the different treaties, ho communicated his
information to the defendant's firm, stipulating for
one-third of the profits which should arise from the
discovery. They availed themselves of the information,
and ultimately, by the exertions of the plaintiff in
their behalf, largo profits were realised. The firm
then refused to acknowledge the claim of the plaintiff,
and this action was brought against the defendant
to recover such share, and for compensation for the
time and labour bestowed by the plaintiff in securing
such profits. It appeared that in the year 1815, by a
convention between this country and the United States
of America, subsequently followed by others, continuing
it for evrtain periods, and ultimately by a treaty in 1827,
continuing it in force until further notice, it was stipu-
lated that no higher duties should be levied on the pro-
duce of the United Sates imported into England than
were levicd on the produce or =mutat:tures of other
foreign countries. This was continued by subsequent
statutes, and remained in force at the time of the agree-
I meat between the parties. Py a !statute peeped is the 3d

and 4th William IV. a duty of 2s. 6d. per bushel was
directed to be levied upon rough rice, hut if imported
from seßritish possession the duty was to be only Id.
per quarter. By a statute of the 6th and 7th William
IV. the lower duty was extended to Western Africa ge
nerally, whether British p )seession or not. Mr. Barry,
The plaintiff, whose attention had been directed to these
matters. discovered thet when the last-mentioned stature
extended the lower duty to Western Africa generellyt
the same privilege of the treaty of 1815 belonged to the
United States. and that a duty of Id. per quarter ought

view of the law WAS correct, and entered into communi-
catien with Messrs. Fester and Smith, offering to ac
(plaint them with a very' prof table secret upon certain
d in
terms. The negefiation Was conducted through a gen-
tleman Messrs.
named Coleman, and a letter was signed by
Messrs. Foster and Smith, agreeing to allow the plain-
tiff one third of the pre ffts derivable from the communi-
cation. A similar ter;reernent' was afterwards entered
into with MessrQ. Ewbanks and 'Co. The plaintiff then
sent his brother with the letters signed by Messrs. Foster
and &fifth, and Messrs. Ewbanks and Co. to Messrs.
Simpson and Co. and the defendants.; 'of Liverpool, re-
questing them to agree tO the same terms, viz., to allow
the plaintiff one-third of the Waits, if the secret should
turn out advantageous. The defendants said they had
no objection to the terms propsed. the plaintiff did
not at that time communicate the secret, matters not
being ripe, but it so 'happened that the plaintiff's
brother left by accident at the defendant's counting-
house the letters of agreement signed' 'by Messrs. Foster
and Smith and Messrs. Ewbanks, from which it was
inferred that the defendant's firm were perfectly aware
of the terms agreed to by those firms. The plaintiff then
proceeded to try the experiment, and accordingly im-
ported a cargo of rough rice from Charlestown, but the
higher duty was charged by the officers of the Customs.
The defendant, likewise, upon the advice of the plaintiff;
imported a cargo, upon which the higher duty was also
charged. The plaintiff then memorialised the Commis-
sioners of Customs, without success, and afterwards he
memorialised the Board of Trade, but with no better
success. In order then to obtain the assistance and in-
tervention of the American Government, he procured a
cargo of paddy to be imported into this country in the
name of Junius Smith, an American citizen, and again
the higher rate was charged by the Custom-house au-
thorities. -He then applied to Mr. Stephenson, the
American Minister, by whom the question was laid
before the Government, and the plaintiff also caused it
to be mentioned in the House of Commons; and ulti-
mately, by means of the most untiring and unceasing
exertion, the plaintiff succeeded in obtaining the ad-
mission of rough rice from America upon payment of
the fewer rate of duty upon the deposit of Exchequer
bills for the difference, and which, by the unwearied
exertions of the plaintiff, were afterwards given up,
and the personal bonds of the plaintiff and the
defendant were accepted. All these proceedings were
from time to time communicated by the plaintiff to the
defendant, who invariably acted upon the information
received, and a great many letters passed between the
parties, from which it would appear that the plaintiff
was actin as the agent of the defend int in the negotia-
tion with Government. Thr plaintiff never ceased in his
endeavours with the British Government, and, at the ex-
piration of six years, after the most untiring activity
and unremitting ex. rtions, he ultimately succeeded in
obtaining a Treasury minute, dated August 6, 1842,
whereby the bends were ordered to be cancelled which
hail been given to secure the higher duty, and thus the
Exchequer-bills for securing the higher duty upon the
cargo.-s already imported by the detetidaut having been
returned, the der. ',dant found himsvlt a gamer to the
extent of about 12,0001; but. although Messrs. Fo.ter
and Smith, as was stated, had honourably fulfilled the
agreement which they halt entered into, the defendant
refused to acknowledge the services of the plaiuriff. . A
great number of official 9/ itnp.ses were then called, and a
waits of decuu3eutery evidence was put in, which
coital ded the plaintiff's cage.

bir FREDERICK Nit:BIDER then submitted that there
was no case to go to the jury upon the special count,
and wade several objf cfions, two of which the Learned
Judge thought were sustained, viz.:-Ist. That there
w.a a variance between thecontrect laid in the declara-
tion and the nne prov,d, the promise laid iu the declare-
tto n being that the contract should be new to the de-
fendant, whereas the pr..mise proved was that it should
be new to the trai or at least to Messrs. Ewbank and
Co. and the defendant. 2dly. That the communication
was not a valuable one; on the contrary, it was false and
untrue; for, although there was in force a convention
between this country an i America guaratlteeing the im-
portation of paddy :A the low duty, such convention, un-
confirmed by Act of Parliament, had not the force of
law, and the Custom-house authorities would not be
_warranted in orly the lower -duty._ The
the ft7ri upon the common counts for work and
So., when the parties intimated that a compromise might
be effected, which was then agreed to as follows:—It
was agreed that inasmuch as there were four actions
pending against different houses in the paddy trade for
the same cause, a sum of 11,0001. should be accepted as
the sum due from them altogether, and in the present
action the verdict should be taken for 2,7001 as the de-
fendant's share, without costs.
This was the last day of the sittings.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER, July 11.
A special meeting in banco for the delivery of judg-
ments by consent had been appointed for toddy, but at
the usual hour fur meeting, a message was received from
Mr. Baron Parke that he had been obliged to go down
to his circuit, and that some of the other Jadges having
also to leave town for a similar purpose, it was impos•
siblo to form a court.

CONSISTORY COURT, July 11.
(Before Dr. Lushington.)
HALL V. HALL.

Dr. ADDAMS applied to the Court for a divorce, it
being a suit promoted by the wife, Mrs. Georgiana
Hall, against her husband for adultery. The parties
were married on the 11th September, 1848. Mrs. Hall
at the period was staying with a friend of her family, a
Mr. Pensford, when she met with Mr. Hall, and to
whom she was clandestinely married; she afterwards re •
turned to her father's house, and they never cohabited
together. In February, 1849, they met at Boulogne,
where they occupied the smile chamber as man and
wife. Some time atter this they separated, and Mr. Hull
afterwards cohabited with a female of the name 01
Batchelor, f.,r which Mrs. Hall now sought for a di-
vorce, which he (Dr. Addams) had no doubt but the
Court would grant.
The Learned JUDGE said he had no hesitation in
granting the divorce as prayed; there appeared no op
position to the suit.

SAUNDERS V. SAUNDERS.
This was an apoticdaiun made to th© Court to pro-
nounce Mr. Saund,rs, the party in the suit, in con-
t.mpt, for nut having paid the alimony aK arded to Mrs.
Saunders.

Mr. Saunders appeared in person. He stated his posi-
tion at the present m•nnent was very diff•rent to whet
It was when the alimony was granted to his wife. H.
•aid he was ready to °he) the order of the Court, but he
lisd lost all his Vest India property, and his family
affairs were in Chancery. His wife had ample means of
her own, but he was sorry to say the money he had
...Bowed as alimony, and was for the support of his chit
dr.-n, was very improperly disposed of. - His son had
b. en sent to St. Petersburgh fur no other object than the.
w,sro Di' his money and his time ; but wbatever the
Court ordered he av“uld obey its direeriuo.
The LEA,nisign JUDGE said he had no power to alter
his previous Judgwent; wha'ever was due un ler the head
.ef alimony tau•t be Vaiii; and if Mr. Slunciers's circum-
stances were changed, he Mist, apply to the Court fur
re lief in another tom.

[PRICE SD•

lanti he would postpone his decision for the following
re t.sons :—First, three of the children had been cx-
an caned of the tender ages of eight, eleven, and thirteen,
whose evidence, when compared with that of the other
wi to esses, must he examined w jib caution by the Court.
Nl(Areover, in looking over the whole of the proceedings
iu ti)is ease there were mtiny circumstances which re-
qui red deliberate consideration, independent of those to
h .ucli he had already referred. The parties would not
sutler by the postpme•nent of his judgment. On the
rr; of Mr. Chesnut, he not paying alimony in conse-
yu of his being a pauper, could not suffer, nehher
try m the tempizary separation from his wife. With re-
gal azi to Mrs. Cheanur, she was now under the protec-
tio n of the Court. and he would extend that prote,,i
over her ; for these reasons he would postpone his
jud.g, mcnt.

:SECOND DAY.

T' Ito weather was again delightfully fine, and the an•
tiCif a ion of good sport produced, as on the previous day,
a vas.,t assemblage of spectators, who evidently expe-
rienc,ed considerable gratitieation.
Ti te• rowing commenced at half-past three, with the
deci: is of the dead heat, recorded in our last impres-
sion, for the Coat, Badge, and Freedom, the gift of Mr.
Evan .Morris.

a very good one. It is said to be " Chitty's practice "

AMA.TEUR SCULLERS' RACE, for a Silver Challenge

They effected a capital start, and wero all scull and
scull for a few strokes, and then the two first-named
drew- slightly ahead of their opponents; but it was so
good * race that they were unable to shake them off for
some .diatance. Northman then gradually drew the nose
of his boat about a couple of yards in advance of Mar-
sham, who, off the committee-barge, gave symptoms of
picking him up. Berry, who had been fouled shortly
atter the start, was unable to repair the disadvantage
occasioned by his misadventure. As the leading boats
nt,are d the Crab-tree, Marsham put on a fine spirt and
brought the nose of his boat up to that of Northman's,
but was unable to mend his advantage, and was finally
beaten by three lengths.

Second Heat.

There was a third gentleman entered, but he did not
come to the post. Mr. Harpour took the lead and kept
it up to the Crab-tree, where he had a good lead; but
it was evident soon after that he had over exerted
himself, and was uuablu to continue towards the close of
the tu.re.

With a view to unc.ur.ge emulati.ti amongst persons
of all ci sea, and to 11,Id out at. inducement to provincial
orws to ewer the linty at this regatta, it was determined
by the commi tee that crews should be eligible to
ester both in the Champion and this race; the winner
of the former of course prohibited; and to compen•
sate the provincials fur any expenses incurred in
coining to London, it wai further determined that
the sums of 151., 101., and 51. should, in addition to
the other prizes, be awarded to them, as either first,
second, or third. if eithi,r occupied thuse positions at
the finish. Notwithstanding the rowing of the previous
day there were a number of persons who appeared to
think the Durham crew would give their opponents their
work to do; but the general opinion was in favour of
the Claspers (not the same as rowed with the Coombes,
but their brothers) and Sheppard's crew, but there was
much diversity of opinion upon the subject.
The appearance of the men was extremely confident,
and the expectations of a good race were not disap-
pointed. It was a splendid start, and they were oar and
oar with one another for the first three minutes, when
the Wandsworth crew began to peep out in front, closely
waited upon by the Durham, who in the next few strokes
had a foot in advance of the Wandsworth party, and in
ibis order they passed the committee-barge, when the
winners went to work in gallant style, skot right ahead,
and came in first by a length and a half in advance, after
a struggle of the most gallant and lasting description.

This was also a gallantly-conteited heat, and won by
only a lr.,ngth and a half, the two first boats, having from
the earliest part of the race, had the lead, which they
gradually increased throughout. Sheppards' and Peters'
crew made a smart race, and the former rowed very
pluckily in a vain endeavour to get the second place, a
task to which they were unequal, the Agnes leaving
them some lengths astern.
