PALACE COURT.-(THIS PAY.)

ROBINSON V. PAUL.
This was an action brought to recover a sum of money
alleged to be clue for three quarters of a year's rent for
some stables. The defendant paid one quarter's rent
into Court, alleging that that was all that was due, and
produced a receipt for the previous quarter's rent, signed
by a man named Peach, who was in the employ of the
plaintiff. It appeared, however, that Beach was entirely
ignorant of the amount of rent due, but had received the
money from Mr. Paul, who brought it to Mr. Robinson's
shop, for whom he worked as a cabinet-maker. The de-
fendant was unable to produce any other receipts, as he
stated that he always destroyed all receipts except the
last. - . .

The Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff.—Da-
maps, 6/. 15s.

GUILDHALL.—(THIS DAY.)
An eccentric but respectable-looking man, who gave
the name of William Loudon, Sion-place, London-wall,
was placed before Mr. Alderman Kelly, charged by police
constable Harding, 270, with causing an obstruction
in St. Paul's Church-yard. The constable said,
that shortly after noon this day, he saw the
prisoner sitting on the footway nearly opposite
to Hitchcock and Rogers, with a large piece of chalk in
-his hand with which he was writing various political
mottoes on the flags. As a specimen of the prisoner's
style and politics, the constable mentioned the following
sentences—" Peel and Plenty—Russell and Starvation,"
&c. The footway was covered the entire length from
Cheapside corner to Ludgate-hill, with those effusions of
the prisoner's imagination, some of which certainly
showed more imagination than delicacy.
Mr. Alderman KELLY asked him if he would keep
out of the public thoroughfares ? Prisoner—No, lam
moved by the spirit, like the Quakers.
The worthy Alderman said he knew the prisoner's
family to be very respectable, and therefore deeming his
intellects a little impaired he did not wish to confine him.
The prisoner was then discharged on promising to
forego his political career.

BOW-STREET—(THIS DAY.)
Emma Russell was placed before Mr. Twyford, charged
by John Bryant under the following circumstances :
It will be in the recollection of our readers that the
prisoner, a few weeks ago, preferred a charge against
the complainant and two other men, for having removed
property from her house in Castle-court, but Mr. Jar-
dine, before whom the case was heard, dismissed it, on
the ground of its, being a disputed right of property.
The complainant now charged the prisoner with having
removed several boxes of his property from his house in
Little Duke-street, during the time he remained in pri-
son awaiting the issue of the former charge, and called
a witness who had removed the boxes at the direction of

the prisoner.
Mr. TWYFORD said he viewed the case in the same
light as Mr. Jardine had done, although he thought
there was great suspicion and dishonesty on both sides,
but as yet there was no felony made out, and he should,
therefore, discharge the prisoner.

O'CONNELL THE LIBERATOR,
ANI) THE AUTOCRAT OF RUSSIA.
(From the Dublin Pilot.)
An application was lately made by a lady of high rank
to Mr. O'Connell to obtain from him an autograph, in
order to make part of a collection of the -hand-writing of
several " celebrated persons," intended for the Emperor.'
of Russia. We have got a copy of the reply, dictated'
by Mr. O'Connell, and sent to the lady at his desire, by-
the gentleman who acts as his secretary. How this re-
fusal prostrates an emperor, and places.a subject immea-
surably above him The following is the copy :
Merrion-square, Dublin, 16th June, 1841.
Madam,—l am directed by Mr. O'Connell to ac-
knowledge the honour of your Ladyship's- letter of the.
12th instant, and to express his deep regret that he is
unable to comply with the request of so distinguished
a lady.
" The fact (to use his own words) is, that the hideous
cruelties of the present Emperor of Russia, perpetrated
in Poland even upon women and children, have marked
his character with a deeper shade of infamy than that
which stains the reputation of the Roman Nero ; whilst
his Satanic persecution of Catholic Christianity has re-
duced him beneath the level of the ancient I)ioclesian.
" Mr. O'Connell, therefore, cannot consent, by any act
of his, however slight, to appear to pay a compliment to.
so atrocious a monster."
He respectfully trusts that you will not consider this
refusal as a personal disrespect to your Ladyship, which
it certainly is not intended to be. It is merely meant as
the expression of his execration of a tyrant who has de-
served the hatred and contempt of the present genera-
tion, and whose name will be held in horror by more
impartial posterity.
1 have the honour to be, Madam, your Ladyship's
most obedient servant, J. O'N.

HER MAJESTY'S VISIT TO PANS-

HANGER.
ST. ALBAN'S.—As soon as it was positively ascer,.
tained that our gracious Queen and her illustrious CO-
sort would pass through St. Alban's, on their visit to
Earl Cowper, at Panshanger, every effort was made to
render their entry a triumphant one. The worthy Mayor
(Mr. Rumball) convened a public meeting, to take into
consideration what would be the best means to carry the
wishes of the town into effect, and the call was quickly
responded to by all the respectable inhabitants, of both
sides of politics, whose only ambition seemed to be to
outvie each other in the extent of their loyalty. A Corn-
mittee was formed, a subscription entered into, and
funds to a large amount quickly raised. The trium-
phatasitlll,, planned by Mr. Boutell, was 120 feet long,
and formed of different tbliages, on which were vati-
ous ornamental devices ; among others, " Welcome,"
" Queen and Constitution," " V. R." "P. A.," the
whole surmounted with different emblematic flags. In
the interior of both sides were erected galleries for the
accommodation of the ladies, and the whole presented an
exceedingly pretty and picturesque appearance. Indeed
there was scarcely a house in the town that had not some
ornamental work. At about one o'clock the Royal cortege
was announced to be in sight by the firing of a small bat •
tery-, which was placed upon the tower of the clock-
house, and the sudden chiming in of the bells of all
the parish churches, and in a few moments England's
hope and pride was greeted by the cheers of the loyal
people of St. Alban's. A procession, composed of the
Mayor and Corporation, and a long line of Com-
mittee-men, with a band, and numerous flags at their
head, ushered her Majesty into the town. Her Ma-
jesty was pleased to express her gratification at the
cordiality of her welcome, and the Marquis of Head-
fort was commissioned to state her thanks, in the
strongest terms, to the Mayor and the inhabitants for the
kind reception she had been greeted with. Her Ma-
jesty was accompanied by the same retinue that left
Windsor with her, and was escorted through the county
by the Hertfordshire yeomanry. During the time
which was occupied by changing horses, the Earl of
Verulam presented his Royal Highness Prince Albert
with a bouquet, which was most graciously received by
the Queen. Her Majesty will honour St. Alban's, on
Saturday next, with a second visit on her return to
Windsor.

.....--.
(ANOTHER ACCOUNT.)
At Hatfield a triumphal arch, unique in its construc-
tion, and elegant in its effect, was also erected, and it
was noticed- by the numbers congregated at that
point of the road that the taste displayed was
honoured by the royal notice. The immense mul-
titude of persons congregated in the capacious park of
the Earl Cowper, at Panshanger, presented a coup d'ccil
which must have convinced her Majesty that the loyalty
of the people of Hertfordshire has suffered no diminu-
tion since that country was last honoured with the Royal
presence, on the occasion of the review in Hatfield-
park. The whole of the carriage-drive, from the en-
trance at Cole's-green, was lined with vehicles. The
children of the different charity schools in the neigh-
bourhood were arranged on each side of the carriage-
drive, producing a very pleasing effect. The boys and •
girls from the Blue-coat School at Hertford occupied a
prominent position. The Hatfield troop of South Herts
Yeomanry, commanded by the Marquis of Salisbury,
escorted the Royal party to Hatfield, where they were
relieved by the B troop, under the command of Earl
Cowper. Another portion of the same troop formed a
guard of honour in the park. Her Majesty and his
Royal Highness Prince Albert reached Panshanger at
two o'clock precisely, the hour at which their arrival was
announced, accompanied by Cols. Berkeley and Bouverie,
the equerries in waiting,.the Marquis of Headfort, Lady
Lyttelton, the Honourable Iliss Chandos, &e., and
was • received with every demonstration of loyalty
and respectful attachment. The party honoured by
invitations to meet her Majesty comprised the Duke
and Duchess of Sutherland, Lord and Lady Clanricarde

(who arrived at Panshanger on Wednesday evening),
Lord and Lady Palmerston, Lord and Lady Duncannon,
Viscount Melbourne, &c. &c. After the arrival of the
Royal cortege the public were admitted to the railing of
the terrace in front of the mansion, separating the pri-
vate pleasure grounds from the park, and her Majesty
and her Royal consort, after partaking of a luncheons
promenaded for some time upon the terrace, accompanied
by their suite. Nothing could exceed the enthusiastic
joy displayed by the immense multitude at the oppor-
tunity. thus afforded them of evincing their attachment
to their Sovereign ; the impression made by the gracious
manner in which her Majesty was pleased to receive the
homage paid to her will long dwell in the hearts of her
subjects. The Royal party proceed on Friday,(this day)
to Brocket-hall, the seat of Lord Melbourne' returning
to Panshanger to dinner, and remaining there until
Saturday morning, when they leave for town. The ad-
dress from the inhabitants of Hertford will be presented
at Panshanger to-morrow, and extensive preparations
are making in that town for the reception of the Sove-
reign, whose early hours have induced a belief that it is
probable, it may be honoured with the Royal presence
previous to leaving Panshanger for Brockct-hall.

THE BLUE-COAT SCHOOL.
As her Majesty is expected to visit this establishment
at Hertford to-day, the following account of the Institu.

on may be interesting :
The Blue-coat School stands at the eastern extremity
of the town of Hertford, on the north side of Fore-
street, and consists of three sides of a quadrangle, with
the addition of a square building erected, so recently as
Iboo, at the north-west angle of the original edifice, con-
taining a hall of the length of 100, and of the breadth of
40 feet. Besides these buildings there is a very lofty
and airy infirmary, capable of containing a large propor-
tion of the children of this establishment.
This noble building was erected by the Governors of
Christ's Hospital, in London, on the foundation of King
Edward VI., for the reception of the younger children
of that establishment. This, therefore, being a branch
of the great parent institution in London, we cannot
avoid speaking briefly of the latter, in order to convey a
clear idea of the regulations by which this institution in
Hertford is conducted. The whole establishment origi-
nally consisted of 340 children, but the number, however,
continuing to increase with the revenues of the establish-
ment, the Governors erected this school, by the voluntary
contributions of high benefactors, in addition to their
own, as well as another institution at Broxbourn. The
entire establishment, Hertford School included, is at pre-
sent capable of containing 1156 children, including SO girls.
According to a rule established in 1809, boys are ad-
mitted from seven to ten years of age, and are discharged
at the age of fifteen years, with the exception of those
who enter the sea service or go college.
The complement of children at Hertford Blue-coat
School is 416, who are drafted, in general, at the age of
twelve years to the parent establishment in London.
They are governed by their master in the schools, by
the steward and matroness in the refectory, and by their
nurses in the dormitories, and committees are consti-
tuted to examine the performances, and to report the
neglects and defaults of these officers. The qualifications
which are to fit them for higher stations in life are sedu-
lously attended to. Reading, writing, and arithmetic are
of course the fundamental subjects of study. But beyond
these the refinements of classical learning are made to
imbue the minds of the young Blue-coat scholars, with
those better and superior views, which are further
heightened and adorned in the end by acquisitions in
Hebrew, mathematics, and drawing.
The number of boys who attain the last stage of the
ordinary classical education is about sixty.. Out of
which the scholars are chosen for exhibition by the
head-master, without the interference of the governors
of the Institution, of which there are seven at Cambridge
and one at Oxford. In London there are four classical
masters, two ushers, a mathematical, drawing, and
singing master. At Hertford School there are a clas-
sical master, writing master, two ushers, and two mis-
tresses to the girls' school. At each place there is equally
a matron ; there are six beadles in London, and two in
this place ; thirteen nurses in London and nine at this
place ; besides that most necessary of all comfortable ap-
pendages, a cook at each plaiT.
To Hertford Blue-coat School there are also attached
a physician, surgeon, and an apothecary, who is, how-
ever, resident in London.
Thr government of this princely foundation is vested
in the Corporation of the City of London, and noblemen
and gentlemen of all ranks, who contribute 4001. to the
support of this establishment. Twenty governors in two
years are chosen in rotation by the other governors, and
every alderman, at the first biennial nomination after he
comes into the office of alderman, is allowed to name a
governor, which governor is to be a benefactor of 2001.
There is a president at the head of the charity, who is
elected from the aldermen of the City of London by the
body of the governors, for life, or so long as he continues
an alderman, unless he happened to be a governor by
benefaction or otherwise before he was an alderman.

The first of December, 1787, a shark was taken
in the Thames, near Poplar, in the stomach of which
v:us ibutal ti watch with the name of Watsop engraved on
it. The watch had belonged to a young gentleman who
had been drowned near Falmouth.
