IRELAND.

DUBLIN, APRIL 11.—MODEL KITCHEN.--M. Sayer
re-opened his model kitchen yesterday, at the special
desire of several charitable ladies, who were anxious to
attend and serve the poor, in the hope of finally dispel-
ling any remaining prejudice on their parts against the
food. The price of tickets of admission was 55.. to be
given in charity. The Ladies Ponsonby, Mrs. I'. D:gges
leetouche and her three amiable and beautiful daughters,
Sir John Ormsby Vandeleur and Lady Vandeleur, Sir
Thomas Deane, Mrs. Captain Williams, &c, remained
for upwards of two hours with their own hands distri-
buting food to the poor, of whom upwards of three thou-
sand were relieved. The fish-food, against which the
llemati Catholics of this country are so blindly prejudiced,
was, where the option was given, almost invariably pre-
ferred to the other descriptions. In the speculations of
Parliamentary Commissioners respecting the neg;ected
state of Irish fisheries, the fact has rarely appeared,

DINNER TO M. Sol-Ea.—Last evening a number of
gentlemen, admirers of M. Soyer's philanthropic exer-
tions to improve and economise the loud of the people
of' this country, entertained him at dinner in the Free-
masons' Hall, College-green. Thomas M. Gresham,
Esq.. filled the chair. About 40 tat down to a suuereu-
ous entertainment, and in the course of the evening a re-
markably handsome and valuable snuff-box, with a suitable
inscription, was presented to M. Sayer. In acknowledg-
ing the toast of his health he delivered a feeling and
clever address, expressive of his gratitude for the cordial
way he was received on his arrival in this country, and the
hearty co-operation of, he might say, all classes. He
was himself rejoiced in the success of his plans, not so
much for the éclat it would attach to his humble name,
but for the invaluable advantages the poor of Ireland
would derive from their adoption. True, he had been
subjected to badinage and some rather severe strictures;
but he had no reason to complain of those whom he failed
to convert to his system. He did not despair, however,
and he felt satisfied that if they only honoured him with
a fair trial, all would agree that he had shown how to
improve and economise the food of the people.
M. Soyer leaves town to-day.
MORE BLOODSHED IN CLARE.—On Wednesday last
lefr.lll. Carmody, agent to Mrs. Dwyer, of Knockatanty,
county Clare, when on his way to Killaloe, to enter pro-
cesses at the sessions there against defaulting tenants,
was fired at and dreadfully wounded. The sufferer since
lies in a hopeless state. The police from Kilkishen were
promptly on the spot, but although the dreadful outrage
took place about ten o'clock a.m., not the slightest trace
of the perpetrators could be obtained. There were two
persons walking with Mr. Carmody at the time, both of
whom were also wounded.
M. Jullien's benefit came off last night at the Music
Hall, and from the serious row which occurred on the
previous evening, fears were entertained for the result
in more respects than one. A party was formed of
young men, who went to the theatre expressly for the
purpose of inflicting chastisement on the person of our
great polka harmonist, for the insult which he had passed
upon the house by calling them a " sixpenny mob," in
audition to his ungracious refusal to allow M. Pischek to
gratify the audience with an encore of one of his songs; at
all events the undoubted Polkaist had last night to en-
counter a very much irritated and offended public, so
that it was a matter of some interest to learn how the
affair ended. We are happy to say that M. Jullien took
the course which calm reflection must naturally have
suggested, and came forward at once with an apology
and some soothing expressions, not less effective for
the foreign accent in which they were delivered, which
luckily had the effect of diverting the storm that
lowered and seemed ready to burst upon his devoted
head. The audience, however, exacted au encore of
almost everything to signalise their triumph. A swift.
obedience met all their wishes, arid thus the " Maestro"
and the Dublin Promenade Concert-goers are ?gain "in
Wee" with each other. We are sorry to say, however,
that some orange-peels, and even rotten eggs, were
aimed at the atoning beneficiare, and with such lire cision
as to cause them to tell eeverely upon his dress.
This ou: break of petulence, however, he bore in good
humour, and it is to be hoped that nothing that has oc-
curred shall prevent us, being often favoured with his
very agreeable visits.

A private soldier of the 67th, in Cork Barracks, was
reproved at parade by Captain Bunbury, for being im-
propery dressed. The private, whose name is Ta)lor,
was directed to appear before his sergeant subsequently
properly dressed. He did so, and was dismissed. About
six in the evnning, Taylor, fully accoutred, appeared
in the barrack-square and inquired for the sergeant, that
his officer might see he was properly attired. Not seeing
the sergeant, he attached a string to his foot, which was
fastened to the trigger of his musket, and discharged
it, the ball taking off the ring finger of his right hand.
The object was stated to be self-mutilation, or an at-
tempt on the life of Captain Bunbury.
The weather has become again calm, but continues

RELATIONS OF THE UNITED
STATES WITII JAPAN.
The New York Herald publishes the following official
report of the Commander of the late expedition to
Japan :

United States ship Columbus, off the coast of
Japan, July 31, 1846.
Sir,—This ship and the Vincennes sailed from the
Chusan islands on the 7th instant. As your instructions
direct me to ascertain if the ports of Japan are accessible,
I proceeded, upon leaving the coast of China, towards
the coast of Japan.
The Japanese, as you know, have always been more
rigid in the exclusion of foreigners than even the Chi-
nese. The only Europeans admitted to trade are the
Dutch, from Batavia; ai.d their trade is confined to a
single port, and limited to one annual ship. By the
laws of Jap.tn, foreign ships are not permitted to anchor
in any port of the empire, except that of Nagasaki.
Any attempt to penetrate Japan made at that port would
be sure to encounter the hostility ot the Dutch, whose
exertions have hitherto been successful against every
:attempt to disturb their monopoly. The Japanese
officers at Nagasaki are without authority to treat with
foreign officers; they could not accede to any proposi
tions; they could only transmit them to the seat ot Go-
vernment at Y,eldo The distatme between Yeddo and

Nagasaki is 345 leagues, and the journey between them
is "usually performed in sev,,it weeks,' ace: rding to a
work on Jep so, published at New York in 1841. I con
tborefore, to proceed dir,ct to the bay of Yodel°,
where I anchored on the 20t1 instant, the Vincennes in
company.
Before reaching the anchorage, an officer with a Dutch
into rpreter came on board. He ii.quired what was my
object in coming to Japan. I answered, that I came as a
friend, to ascertain whether Japan had, like China,
opened her ports to foreign trade, and, if she had, to
fix by treaty the conditions on which American vessels
should trade with Japan. He requested me to commit
this answer to writing, and I gave him a written paper,
a copy of which is herewith transmitted. He informed
me that any supplies I might require would be furnished
by the Government. To my inquiry, whether I would
be allowed to go on shore, he replied in the negative.
He objected to our boats passing between this ship and
the Vincennes ; but as I insisted upon it, he yielded.
Upon anchoring, the ship was surrounded by a vast
number of boats belonging to the Government. The
ship was soon thronged with Japanese. I permitted
them to come on board large numbers, that all might
be convinced of our friendly disposition, as well as of
our ability, in any event, to take care of ourselves.
On the following morning an officer, apparently of
higher rank, came on board. He stated that foreign
ships, upon entering a port of Japan, always landed their
guns, muskets, swords, &c. I told him it was impossible
for us to do so, that trading vessels only could be ex-
pected to do so ; and I assured him that we were peace-
ably disposed, so long as they were peaceably disposed.
11e informed me that my written paper of the preceding
day had been transmitted to the Emperor, who was at
some distance from Yeddo, and that an answer would be
received in five or six days. I asked him why we were
surrounded by boats, and he replied that they might be
ready in case we wanted them to tow the ship. This, of
course, was =not true ; the object, of course, being to
prevent our communicating with the shore. When cur
boats were sent to sound at some distance from the ship,
Japanese boats followed them, without, however, molest-
ing them. During our whole stay these boats continued
about the ship. I had on board copies in Chinese of the
French, English, and American treaties with China. I
offered these treaties to the Japanese officer, who
them without the permission of his Emperor. I offered
de-
clined receiving them, saying that he could not receive
those treaties subsequently to other Japanese officers,
who in like manner declined to receive them.
It is worth while, perhaps, to mention that, on the
first day, the Japanese undertook to water the ship.
They sent off 180 gallons; and on the second day, 860
if they con
inadequately. The
gallons; our daily consumption being nearly 800 gallons,
I told the officer, unless they watered the ship properly,
sard
that I would send our own boats oa shore for water. lie
aid there would be trouble if I sent our boats on shore.

On the 25th, not having received any answer to the
paper sent on shore five days previously, I expressed to

the Japanese officer my surprise at the delay, and re-
quested him to inform the Governor of Yeddo that I de-
sired an answer as early as possible.
On the 27th, an officer, with a suite of right persons,
came on board with the Emperor's answer. The answer
was translated by the interpreter, as follows :—" Ac-
cording to the Japanese laws the Japanese may not
trade except with the Dutch and Chinese. It will not
be allowed that America make a treaty with Japan or
trade with her, as the same is not allowed to any other
nation. Concern'ng strange lands, all thing* are fixed
at Nagasaki, but not here in the bay; therefore you
must depart as quick as possible, and not come any
mere in Japan." I stated to the officer that the United
States wished to make a treaty of commerce with Japan,
but not unless Japan also wished a treaty ; that I came
here for information on this subject, and having now
ascertained that Japan is not yet prepared to open her
ports to foreign trade, I should sail the next day, if the
weather permitted. This answer, at the officer's re-
qtiest, was committed to writing, ar.d given to him. The
Einperia-'s toter I forwarded by the Vincennes to Dr.
Parker at Canton, for translation, and requested him
to transmit to you the original and the trauslation of it.
I may here mention that Mr. Walcitt, our Consul at
Shangai, informed me that he had sold American cot.
tons to some extent to Chinese merchants for shipment
to Nagasaki. In this way the supply of American
cottons in Japan may perhaps b;:come equal to the
demand.

While at Batavia in October last, I was informed that
:he Dutch trade to Japan was insignificant in amount ;
that its profits scarcely covered the expenses of the fac-
tory and of customary presents : and the Dutch valued
their intercourse with Japan chiefly because, while their
own flag was admitted, all other European flsgs were
excluded--a distinction gratifying to their national
pride. This account of the trade seems to be confirmed
by the fact that some years ago the Dutch East India
Co upany voluntarily relinquished it to the Dutch Go-
vernment. It is confirmed also by the accompanying
letter to me from our Consul at Batavia, Mr. Roberts, a
well-informed merchant, who has resided many years in
the East Indies.

I must now communicate an occurrence of an unplea-
sant character. On the morning that the officer came
dawn in a junk with the Emperor's letter, I was requested
t) go on board the junk to receive it. I refused, and in-
formed the interpreter that the officer must deliver on
board this ship any letter that had been intrusted,him for
me. To this the officer assented, but added that my letter,
having been delivered on board the American ship, he
thought the Emperor's letter should be delivered on board
the Japanese vessel. As the Japanese officer though at-
taching importance to his own proposal, bad withdrawn
it as soon as I objected to it, I concluded that it might be
well for me to gratify him, and I informed the interpreter
that I would go on board the junk, there receive the
letter. The interpreter then went on board the junk. In
an hour afterward I went alongside the junk in the ship's
boat in my uniform. At the moment that I was stepping
on board, a Japanese on the deck of the junk gave
me a blow or a push which threw me back into the boat.
I immediately called to the interpreter to have the man
seized, and then returned to the ship. I was followed
on board by the interpreter and a number of Japanese
officers. They all expressed the greate concern at
what had occurred, stated that the offender was a com-
mon soldier on board, and assured me that he should be
punished severely. They asked me in what manner I
wished him to be punished, and I replied according to
the laws of Japan. I stated that the officers also were
greatly to blame, as they ought to have been on deck
to receive me. They declared that they bad not ex-
pected me alongside ; and I was subsequently con-
vinced that, owing to bad interpretation, they believed
my final decision had been that they were to come
to tho ship. I was careful to impress upon them
all the enormity of the outrage that had been com-
mitted, and how much they owed to my forbearance.
They manifested great anxiety and apprehension, and
endeavoured in every way to appease me. In the course
of the day the Governor of Yeddo sent an offi-
cer to inform me that the man should be severely
punished, and that he hoped I would not thii,k too seri-
ously of the aff,dr. The conduct of the men is inexpli-
cable, especially as all the Japanese in and about the
ship had evinced great good nature in all their inter-
course with us.

As I was convinced that the outrage had been com-
mitted without the procurement or knowledge of the
Japanese officers, as every atonement that I could exp, ct
or desire was promptly rendered, I should not have
deemed it necessary to c,,menunicate this occurrence,
except to guard against any incorrect statement that may
appear in the public prints.
I sailed from the Bay of Yeddo on the 29th. The
Vincennes parted company yesterday. I enclose a copy
of her orders.

Very respectfully, your most obedient,
JAMES BIDDLE.

Hon. George Bancroft,
Secretary of the Navy, Washington.

CHARGE OF MUTINY AND
PIRACY.
On Thursday, the barque James Campbell, William
Graham, master, of and from Glasgow, bound for Ba-
tavia, and thence to Singapore, with a general cargo of
great value, put in here, with the master in irons, he
haring been put there by the men when in lat. 42,
lon. 14 west, being about twenty four days on their
voyage. On the arrival of the ship here, intimation was
conveyed to Mr. Collier, Lloyd's agent, and the captain
was brought on shore, whereon he immediately charged
the crew with assault, mutiny, and piracy, and in con-
sequence summonses were issued against the second
mate and nine of the crew.

On Friday, John Harretts, the second mate, Charles
Moffatt, the carpenter of the ship, Richard Thomas
Lacy, John Ski-Iton, John McPheagh, Robert Craig,
Robert Wright, Daniel M'Lean, Daniel M'Kellar, and
Thomas Stratton, who were stated to have come volun-
tarily on shore to meet the charge, were brought before
Joseph Whiteford, Esq., borough magistrate, at the
police-office, charged with assault, mutiny, and piracy,
as above stated.
William Graham, who deposed that he was master of
the barque James Campbell, of Glasgow, which sailed
from Glasgow on the sth of March, bound to Batavia,
and from thence to Singapore. Nothing patlicularou-

curred till the 28th, which was on a-Sunday, when
they were about 42 lat. and 14 lon. The prisoner Strat-
ton was at the helm between ten and twelve in the

._ ...... _
rorenoon. He was misconducting himself, making it

appear as if he were drunk. Witness told him to le—aye
the helm, which he did. He was then told to go and
grease the masts, which he stoutly refused to do, and
was very insolent. Witness then told him to go below,
and gave him a slight push, upon which he doubled his
fists and offered to fight. Witness then directed the
first mate, Rose, to put Stratton in irons, but afterwards
recalled the order. Others of the crew were then told

to grease the masts, but they all refused. Witness then
called the whole ship's company aft, and told them if
they would not do that they should not have any beef
for dinner. One of the crew, Lacy, said he would have
it in spite of him. Seeing, upon this, that there was a
conspiracy among them, witness went below, got a cut-
lass, and wont to the galley, where the beef was cook-
ing. The steward, by his orders, then carried the beef
into his cabin. He (witness) made no use of the cutlass;
he neither cut nor attempted to cut any person. There
was no resistance made. He then followed the steward

into the cabin, and, after putting the cutlass away, re-
turned on deck about one. The men were all con-
gregated aft at that time, and McPheagh, making him-
self spokesman, said they would refuse to do any more
work. About four o'clock the steward came to the
cabin, and told him (witness) that the men wanted to
speak with him. He went on deck, and found MePheagh
surrounded by most of the crew. He (McPheagh) said,
6' What do you intend to do in this affair?" Betnre,
however, he had time to make any reply, they came
round him and pinioned his arms bet:ind his back.
Nnenn. Moffatt, the carpenter, MePheagb, Craig,
Stratton, and others, came in front of him, and put
ir,us upon his hands. Then they lashed his arms be-
hind his back, so that he could nod, move them in any
way, and put lashings round his legs, just above hie
knees. Whilst this was going on, witness turned round
and asked Rose and Harretts, the first and second
mates, who were looking on. if they would allow this
conduct? Rose replied. " The men have taken charge
of the ship; I can do nothing in it, and lam to take her
back to a port in England." After this, wines crawled
as well as he could with the lashings that were upon him
into his cabin, where he found the two mates moving
the chrenometers and other articles from the cabin.
He asked them to go and see if the men would not
change their mind. Harretts answered that it was
no use; they had gone so far now, that they must go
through with it. Harretts then told him that the cabin
was ready, and he had better go into it. Witness asked
that the irons might be shifted, as they were put on the
wrong way, and were cutting his hands; Harrets did
this, and put them on the right way. He was then
locked into the cabin, and a guard was placed at the
outside of the door with a drawn cutlass. The guard
was relieved every four hours, and the seamen took it
alternately. He remained in this confinement from
about four o'clock on the afternoon of the 28th of
March, till between two and three in the afternoon of
the Bth of April, when he found the vessel at anchor in
Plymouth Sound. During that time the steward gave
him his victuals regularly, and on one occasion the irons
were taken off to allow him to shift himself, by Moffatt,
the carpenter. He forgot to state that the beef was
given to the crew about three hours before he was
na
pi-
nioned. Was quite sober when all this occurred, d
had been on good terms with the men before. T They
never had made any complaints, either personally or
through the mate.
Mr. Edmunds submitted that there was sufficient er

deuce before the Magistrate to entitle him to remand the
case until Monday, so as to give time for ono of the
owners of the vessel to be present.
The Magistrate explained to the men that the remand
would be as desirable for them as the master of the ves-
sel, as they would be able to consult and decide on the
best course to adopt; and, it they should think it desir-
able, for consulting some pr )fessional man.
The men said they were quite ready to go fully into
the case at once, and that therefore they wished the
matter to be exa'ined ; but after reasoning over the
matter together, they expressed themselves agteeable to
the case being remanded until Tuesday next, at eleven
o'clock.
In the course of his remarks to the bench when ask-
ing for an adjournment, Mr. Edmonds stated, that the
delay that had arisen out of these circumstances, would
be a loss of more than 1,2001. to the owners of the ves-
sel—Plymouth Times.

EXPORTATION or GRAIN FROM THE • TAT.—This
week the rare and we believe almost unprecedented cir-
cumstance has occurred of a vessel loading wheat at this
fort for France. The grain is part of a cargo imported
rom the Baltic last winter. The warehouses here are
still tolerably well stocked with foreign supplies.—

FINANCES OF NEW ZEALAND.
The following extracts are taken from a parliamentary
volume (recently issued by order of both Houses), on the
affairs of New Zealand. They form portions of a dis-
patch from Lieut.-Governor Grey b the Right Honour-
able Lord Stanley :---
My Lord—One of the most important duties which
has been imposed upon me by your Lordship is the in-
quiry into the sources from which a sufficient revenue
may be most readily and beneficially raised in this
country. 1 now propose to place before your Lordship
the principles upon which, I think, the future general
financial arrangements of this country should be con-
ducted; and the reasons which have led me to form these
conclusions.

In the have assumed the amount of the
European population
Iresidente
in these islands to be 12,000
first place,
cd to be
souls, and the amount of the native population
120.000 souls; these estimates are not foundupon
ac-
curate returns, and probably are each of them
especi-
ally the latter, far below th real amount' ofthe
population which they respectively indicate ; the
are, however, sufficiently accurate for the purposes of the
present inquiry.
So great a disproportion existing between the Euro-
pean and native population. one is driven to the inevitable
conclusion, that if any attempt is made (as was formerly
the case) to raise a revenue by direct taxation upon the
property of the European population alceie, from which
the natives are exempted, that it will be found impos-
sible to raise the funds requisite to provide the establish-
ments required for the protection and good govern-
ment of the natives; indeed, it would be essentially
unjust and ruinous to the European population to attempt
to do so.
Since the termination of the war in January last, the
receipts of customs have continued rapidly to increase,
and a trade of great importance is rising between the
European merchants and the native population. There
seems no reason to doubt that this trade will very rapidly
increase in extent and importance ; the natives are now
very generally purchasing small vessels for the purpose
of trading ; they are extremely anxious to procure arti-
cles of European clothing, and luxuries generally, and
they possess abundant means of paying in produce for
all such articles as they may require.
The extent to which British commerce may be carried
on here is limited, in the first place, by the amount of
the population, which I believe has been under-estimated
by nearly one half ; and secondly, by the extent to which
life and property arc rendered secure. The short period
of tranquillity which the northern portion of the country
has recently enjoyed has already given a considerable
impetus to trade, and a large augmentation to the re-
venue, which being raised from duties of customs, aug-
ments in the same proportion as the commerce of the
country. and with its increasing prosperity affords the
Government the means of still further securing the future
tranquillity and order of the colony.
I have no intention of attempting to raise a revenue
by any other means than the imposition of light duties
of customs on all imported goods ; and, as I have before
stated, I feel quite satisfied that within a very few years
from the present time, the revenue realised from this
source wall be found ample to defray the whole of the
colonial expenditure.
The present condition of the colony, in reference to its
financial state, is different from all other portions of the
empire. It is not in the ordinary position of a young
country, the establishments of which could grow in ex-
tent in the same proportion as its population, revenue,
and commerce. The fact is, that a large population
rapidly becoming civilised, and capable of immediately
affording a considerable commerce and revenue, already
exists here; but no establishments have been formed for
the protection of life, property, or commerce, or for the
collection of revenue; or indeed for the controul and
government of this large population, who, if their ener-
gies are not directed into proper channels, and if they
are not governed and kept under controul, will certainly
attempt to set up the government of various ambitious
chiefs, and will keep the country in a constant state of
disturbance and war.

It appears therefore absolutely necessary that a con-
siderable annual expenditure in excess of the revenue.
should be sanctioned for a few years by the British Par-
liament, to provide for the formation of the public !mill-
ings, roads, and establishments which are absolutely re-
quisite for the assertion and preservation of British
supremacy, for the oontroul of the turbulent, the protec-
tion of life, property, and commerce, and the security of
the revenue which the country can at once yield.
The advantages which justify such an expenditure are
the impetus which will be given to the interests of hu.
inanity and civilisation, the ultimate saving which wil
be effected to the country by the prevention of expen-
,ive internal wars, which would require the constant
presence of a large naval and military force, the exten-
sion afforded to British commerce and industry, and the
gn at increase of the revenue of the colony, which will
shortly enable it to defray the whole of its own expenses.
The amount of such expenditure in excess of the
revenue need not at any time be very great. It may, I
think, be fairly deduced from the following estimate :
Probable general ordinary annual expen-
diture of local Government £27,000 0 0
Probable extra expenditure on account of

natives, police, roads, &c 31,000 0 0

Total expenditure
Probable revenue from this date, but
rapidly increasing in amount

Immediate annual deficiency, yearly de-
creasing in amount £36,000 0 0

Thus leaving the sum of about 30,0001., in addition to
the present parliamentary grant, to be provided from
some extraneous source. It should, however, be
observed that this additional grant would decrease in
amount froi year to year, exactly in proportion to the
progress of the colony.
I beg to assure your Lordship, that after having now
visited almost all the important portions of the colony
I feel quite satisfied that the Government cannot be effi-
ciently conducted for a lower amount than that which
I have above stated, and that any attempt to do so will
ultimately only result in great disaster, and eventually
in a much greater expense to the British Treasury than
that which will be incurred under the system I have dp-
tailed, and upon which I intend to act until your Lord-
ship's further instructions can reach me. It is probable
that I may have stated the estimated revenue at two small
an amount, and I think that I have done so ; but I have
thought it better to incur the risk of erring upon this
side tkan of leading your Lordship to form too favour-
able an opinion of the present financial state of New
Zealand.

The next question that arises for consideration is the
probable expenditure that must ultimately be incurred
for the naval and military protection of this colony. So
soon as there is an adequate military force in the coun-
try, I think that the naval force can be very considerably
reduced, possibly to one steamer and one vessel of war ;
but the presence of a steamer will certainly be always
indispensable upon these coasts. I will, upon the arri-
val of a sufficient military force, lose no time in com-
municating with the senior naval officer upon these sub-
jects, and in reporting my final determination to your
Lordship.

(Signed) G. GREY.
COPY OF A DISPATCH FROM LIEUT.-GOVERNOR GREY TO
THE RIGHT RON. LORD STANLEY.

My Lord-1 have now the honour to transmit copies
of the correspondence which has passed between the
Lieut.-General commanding the forces in New South
Wales and myself upon this subject.
You Lordship will find from this correspondence that
I consider that a force of 2,500 troops of the line should
for the present bo stationed in New Zealand.
I find that my predecessor, in his despatch of the 9th
of April, 1845, stated it as his opinion that two regi-
ments were required for the maintenance of these islands,
which would amount to a force about 2,000 men; but
after having now visited many portions of the islands! I
should recommend that the force here should be in.
creased to 2,500 men.
I make this ree,,mmendation under the belief that in
four or five years time this force might be reduced to a
single regiment, and that it would be advantageous to
continue as rapidly as possible the formation of a local
police force, composed in a great measure of natives;
which force I am now organisin?, with apparent success.
he expense of this force could, at the enci of a few years,
be defrayed from the revenue of the colony, and would
be one in every way suited to the service of this country.
Indeed, I think it would in New Zealand be found more
advantageous than any European force.

JUVENILE OFFENDERS.

The Bill prepared and brought into Parliament by
Sir John Pakington and Sir William Heathcote, " for
the more speedy trial and punishment of juvenile
offenders," proposes to enact that persons not exceeding_el
fifteen years of age, committing simple laurocewfotseet" onypunishable as such, obtaining property

to commit any such offences,may

tences, cheats, felonious receiving f probteretoym.

If the magistrates dismiss the case, they shall make
out a certificate to that effect. These provisions are not
to apply if the magistrates think the case a fit subject
for prosecution by indictment. A single magistrate may
admit to bail in certain cases in the same manner as may
now be done by two magistrates. Magistrates, instead
of bailing, may detain the accused in custody, or take
security tor his appearance before two Justices, for the
purpose of his being summarily proceeded against.
If the examining magistrates think the offeace
too trifling to merit punishment, they may dis-
miss the accused at once. One magistrate may
convict upon the confession of the accused
in certain cases. Such confession must be put in
writing, read over to and signed by the accused. The
Act applies to accessories, &c., as well as principals.
Where conviction before two magistrates, they may
order whipping. Clause 8 relates to the mode of com-
pelling the appearance of persons punishable on sum-
mary conviction; and Clause 9 to the application of
fines, which are to be placed to the genera! rate of the
county, &c. If fines not paid Justice may commit, and
Justices may discharge offender in certain cases. Pro-
ceedings under Act a bar to any other proceedings for
the same cause. Convictions to be returned to quarter
sessions, and no forfeiture upon convictions under Act.
The Act is not to extend to Scotland or Ireland, and
may be amended or repealed this session.

ST. MARYLEBONE PROTECTION
ASSOCIATION DINNER.
The members and friends of the St. Marylebone Pro-
tection Association, to the number of a hundred, as-
sembled at the Eyre Arms, St. John's Wood, on Monday
evening, to celebrate the success with which the local
objects of the Association had been pursued, in the re-
duction of certain burdensome, unnecessary, and, it
seems, illegal taxes ; and in the increase, at the same
time, of the benefit which the public derived from better
paving, lighting, and cleansing on the thoroughfares of
the surrounding neighbourhood.
Mr. Goslin, the active proprietor of the Eyre Arms,
was employed as caterer for the cenvivialities of the even-
ing, and judging by what we saw, and heard,. and telt,
Judging by our own satisfaction after dinner, and the
expressionsswhich the like feeling drew from the other
guests, a better choice could not have been made. The
tables were laid out with great good taste, and after-
wards loaded with what could most agreeably meet a
good appetite, and not offend a fastidious taste. In short,
the dinner was capital, the wines very good indeed ; the
puntuality and attention of the serviters all that could
be wished ; and the toastmaster, Mr. Wheeler, will
certainly add to his patrOns, by the excellent discharge
of his office last night.
Benjamin B. Cabbcll, Esq. was in the chair ; sup•
ported by W. P. Carter, Esq., barrister ; Charles
French, Esq., James Russell, Esq., William Collins, Esq.,
Jos. Angell, Esq., Alex. Ridgway, Esq.. Jos. Haynes,
Esq., Captain Sparshott, R.N., Jos. Rawlins, Esq, bar-
rister, James Rusford, Esq., John Vandal!, Esq , and
other gentlemen, sat down to dinner with their nume-
rous friends at half-past six o'cloek.
After dinner the " Non nobis" was sung with good
effect by Messrs. Packington and Wild and Mashes
Cook. Then followed the canal toasts—
" The Quen."—National anthem.
" Prince Albert, Albert, Prince of Wales, and the
Royal Family."—Glee, " Here's a health to the Prince
and the Queen."
" The Army and Navy."—Duet by Packington and
Wild, " Oh give. me the tented field."
Responded to by Captain Sparshott.
The CHAIRMAN, in giving " Success to the St. Mary-
lebone Protection Association," said they had now come to
the business of the evening for which he therefore begged
the attention of the company, for although their meet-
ing had been of a convivial nature, he might with justice
say that conviviality was not the sole object and had
not been the sole result. He confessed he gave the
toast with a feeling of mingled pleasure and, regret—
pleasure because they had something as an association
worthy to be protected—but of regret because that some-
thing which they held worthy was in danger and needed
their protection. That aas their case then. In a fair
country they hai equal rights and ought
to have equal rates ; they bad met and asso-
ciated themselves to protect these equal rights
and to destroy the very appearance of inequality. He
said, after the parish of St. Marylebone began to emerge
from the condition of a mere rural village an enactment
was passed for the lighting, watching, and paving ; but
as the suburbs extended it was found that a new rate for
these thinly populated parts would be necessary. That
was called, levied as a highway rate to the amount of
43. Another Act, however, the 35th of George 111 ,
was passed, increasing the amount of the highway rate
to a stun not exceeding Is. in the pound. Ile begged
the company's attention to the Act. It allowed
of no rate exceeding one shilling, but in case
the emergency required, it geve the vestry power to
borrow, and accordingly, in 1822, when the inner
rate was 25., the outer, or highway rate, was Is. But
the reformed vestry, misinterpreting the Act, increased
the amount of the imposition ; so that in 1844
with the go el accommodation, the rate in ether parishes
was—in St. Pancras, 2s. 9d. ; in St. James's, 2s. 41. ;
St. George's, 2s. 4d. ; St. Ann's, 24.4:1. ; in Msrylebone
it was 34. Bd.—(Cries of " Hear.") And the difference
between the outer and the inner district rate was only
8,1. or 9d. In these circumstances, when with increased
taxes, and when the vestry actually resolved on ex-
tinguishing every alterrntte lamp, it was that a number
of gentlemen had met in that room and as.ociated them-
selves to prevent so egregious an injustice. The
Chairman proceeded at length to enter into details, and
said the result, in the short space of two years, mainly
thr.: ugh the exertions of the gentleman near him, their
treasurer, Mr. Freeth, had been that the rate was reduced
to its legal bounds of Is. He concluded by giving the
toast coupled with the name, of Charles Fret-th, Esq.,
which was received with bumpers, and three times three.
Song by Mr. Wild—" There's a land that bears a
well known name."
Mr. FREETLT, who was received with loud cheers,
entered at length into the history of their efforts with
the vestry, and made several statements relative to the
local accommodation of the neigh bourheod, which were
received with cheers, and on the ground of which he
appealed to the gentlemen present to join the associa-
tion, and aid them to accomplish what was still to be
done. He concluded by reading a list of subscriptions
to the funds of the associatien, on it Inch the chairman
appeared for 51. ss. and Mr. Fret th 2/.
Mr. RIDGWAY, as a Liberal member of the vestry,
and a friend to the oh;ecte of the association, was
favourably received by the company, who heard him
make several exp'anations, and enforce the main object
of the meeting. Both Mr. Ridgeway and the previous
speakers eluded to Lord Morpeth's Bill as likely to
work a favourable change in the metropolis, and ex-
pressed their hope that every aid would bo rendered to
pass it into a law.
'rite other toasts of the evening—" The Chairmin,"
" The Stewards," " The Visitors," and " The Ladies,"
were received with all the honours, and fullowad by ap-
propriate vocal music.
The company at length dispersed in the highest fee
lags of satisfaction.

boat and the latter an iron boat, fitted with screw-pro-
pellers, were taken into the basin to-day, to be prepared
for further experiments to ascertain the best description
of screw-propeller, and the most eligible form of the
vessels fitted with that invention.
The Te az?r, woolen vessel. and the Minx, iron vessel,
are also to be again tried, to ascertain their speed and
qualities with various Forms of screw propellers. The
Dwarf had nearly 50 trials with screw-propellers with
the object of ascertaining the best mode in which,they
entered the water on revolving, and every opportunity
will still be afforded to test the invention to bring it to
the greatest possible perfection.
The Princess Alice, Dover steam-packet, Lieutenant
Commander &riven, arrived at Woolwich to-day, and
was taken into the basin to have some repairs made to
the frame of her machinery.
The Hydra steam-vessel, Commander Morrell, arrived
at Woolwich yesterday, and will be paid off here. She
has been three years and eight months employed on the
coast of Africa.
The Mastiff surveying-vessel, and her tender, the
Woodlark, were taken our of the basin yesterday, and it
is expected they will leave Woolwich on the 25th inst , to
resume their surveying duties on the coast of the Orkney
Islands.
The Speedy, tender to the Blazer surveying vessel,
arrived at Woelwich yesterday, to refit for her survey-
ing duties.
The Blenheim, 72 guns, block-ship, fitted with a
screw propeller, had her steam up to-day to try the cor-
rectness of the fittings of her engines, four of 115 horse-
power each, constructed on the locomotive principle,
with a horizontal stroke, and by that plan an low as to
be ten feet under the water-line. The water was let into
the dock opposite the blacksmith's shop, where she is at
present, and retained by the caisson after the tide had
receded. The funnel of the Blenheim is constructed on
the telescopic principle, and may be lowered to within
six feet of the deck, and the steam.pipe for blowing off
the steam may be made level with the deck.
IntAligenee was received to-say at the Woolwich
dockyard of the death of Commander Bremer, R.N., at
Edinburgh, son of Commodore Sir J. J. George Bremer.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.
GROUP I.

The Select Committee appointed to consider the merits
of the Bills comprised in this group re-assembled in
Room 30 this morning, for the first time after the ho-
lidays ; Lord Granville Somerset in the chair.
THE SOUTH-HASTEN= SCHEMES.

Mr. AUSTIN completed the case for these lines by
putting in a number of returns and documents relating
to the electric telegraph, and the passenger and parcel
fares to be charged on the lines.
Mr. AurrlN intimated that, now that the South-
Eastern case was closed, according to the practice of
Parliament, the time had arrived for going into the land-
holders' opposition.
The CHAIR3IAN said the Committee were not disposed
to pursue that course in the present instance. They had
to decide between the merits of the two competing lines,
and the Committee were of opinion that the case for the
Brighton Company ought now to be gone into. He had,
therefore, to call for the report of the Rail-Nay Corn-
misioners upon these schemes.
Mr. TALBOT replied, that as yet the report was in the
bosom of the lion. Mr. Strutt.
The CHAIRMAN said, the Committee then had no
choice but to go on with the landholders'oprs!.cn
Mr. TALBOT said, all the returns had longt wouldsince
haveo.been
made to the railway board, awl the report
been laid upon the table of the House_3:est erday bad not
the board fallen into the error of thinkingthat the Co-
mmittee would resume their labours on the 15th instead of
the 13th.
Mr. W. 0. STAN L}:4 said, before they went into the
csses of the landholders he wished to have the room
cleared.
Strangers were accordingly ordered to withdraw, and
the Committee having consulted together for a few mi-
nutes, the parties were recalled, when
The CHAIRMAN announced that the Committee had
determined to proceed with the opposition of the land-
holders, but the Committee thought it right to intimate
that they did not wish to go into the case of any pro-
perty lying between Maidstone and Chart, as they were
of opinion that no case had been made out to support
the preamble. of the Bill fur making the line from Maid-
stone to Chary.

LANDHOLDERS' OPPOSITION.
Mr. MELLOR was heard in opposition to the North
Kent line, on behalf of Mr. Itawson and the inhabitants
of Bexley.. who-cornplained that their intere,ts 'would
be serioady injurt'd by the construction of the proposed
line.

Mr. HOPE sta:e3 that Sir Percival Hard Dyke was in
ntsg,otiation with th:! Sott:h-Eaetern Company, for de-
lusting their Lne so as to avoid the injury it wou'd do to
Lullingatone Castle, but the arraogetneuts as yet had
not been finally closed ; and he must, therefore, request
the Committee to allow Sir Percival's case to be post-
poned for a few days.
Witnesses were called and examined by Mr. Ta!bot‘to
prove that the proposed Croydon and 13r,anley lice would
totally destroy the property of Mr. Russell, merchant, of
Croydon. _ _

gr. TALn.Yr was heard on behalf of Lord Bexley, who
complained 01 the injury the Ad-if.tut line would it.flict
upn his property at Foot's Cray.
Several other landholders' eases were gone into, but it
Wai elicited that ti,e injury d.,ne in each was matter fur
pecuniary conip,nsation.

THE MUSH CHARACTER.
The dismal monotony of our Irish intelligence is
agreeably relieved this morning by a very unexpected
novelty. It is absolutely startling in its extraordinary
siligulerity. A Roman Cathnl;c clergyman, in a discourse
from the pulp-t, is reported to have lectured his flock
upon their ignorance and indolence. His language is
nothing short of high treason against the Irish character :
—" Interested and designing knaves," says this apostle
of truth, "have told you you were the finest peasantry
on earth ; the: e who told you so were impostors. You
are a patient people, warm-hearted and religious ; but
you are an unenlightened people, not half educated, and
very few degrees removed from barbarism. . • . The
time is arrived when you must help yourselves, and the
first step to that is to till the ground. . . . Sympa-
thising rations feel your sufferings, and are ready to as-
sist you. But if you do not shale off this apathy, this
torpor, which seems to be taking possession of your very
souls, and do all in your power to produce food for the
next year, instead of exciting their sympathy, you will
arouse their contempt, and you will become a byword to
the nations of the earth, as a lazy, indolent, mean people,
who would rather trust to the bounty of others than exert
themselves." The place where this unparalleled audacity
was perpetrated is 'Crake, an assize town a few miles north
of the Lakes of Killarney, but situated in a poor and
ill-cultivated country. The very Reverend Dr. M'Enery
was the perpetrator, and his name deserves to be enrolled
among the benefactors of his country. His conduct
shows to us like real heroism. Dependent upon the
good will of the people, he does not flinch from setting
before them the most unpalatable truths. The mass of
mankind in all ages and in all countries has loved dark-
ness rather than light. Populas cult decipi. The passion
is eternal an-I universal, in the democratic assemblages
of the Athenian forum and the king-loving demonstra-
tions on the Irish hills. Individual vanity working in
the aggregate and calling itself patriotism—to this the
mob-orator must appeal, flitter, cajole, and keep the flame
alive. All who trade upon the sympathies of the
people, whose stake is popularity, who live upon com-
mon fame and reputation, whose dependence is on the
many headed monster, who exist only in the smiles
and would perish by the frown of the capricious
multitude—to all such—and how many are they in
Ireland !—truth is forbidden, honesty is a luxury bs-
youd their means, and integrity a thing impossible.
They are the victims of circumstances. It is a struggle
crith them between conscience and prudence —a per-
petual conflict between firmest impulse and sordid in-
terest. A strife of this kind can never have but one
termination. It is too strong for the weakness of hu-
man nature. Conscience, in the end, is inevitably

few days since at Messrs. liellett's, the bankers to the

LORDS BROUGHAM AND CAMPBELL, AND THE DUKE
OF WELLINGTON, IN THE HOUSE OF LORDS.—He seems
endowed with a superhuman activity; not for two minutes
can he remain still in one place—now 'tis the Lord Chan-
cellor he is pushing from the woolsack—now the Great
Duke that he rouses from the state of torpidity into which
he falls in the House. Noble Lords seem to look upon
the ex-Lord Chancellor, as be glides in and about the
apartment, with much the same feeling as they would
watch the electric eel swimming his dismal round in the
tub at the Polytechnic. If he were touched, he would
doutless snap with a blue spark, and give a pretty
: tolerable shock. In strong contrast to Brougham is
Lord Campbell, his eternal and relentless enemy; in
fact, his Old Man of the Sea, who he is ever endeavour-
ing in vain to shake off. If the one gets up and
makes a statement in his usual brilliant but discursive
style, the other is sure to fallow close upon his heels,
and, in his coarse Scotch accent, to come down with
a cold- blooded calmness upon its most unguarded
points. To the excitable Brougham this continual
galling mast be almost maddening ; he turns now and
then upon his enemy, but, alas ! Campbell, like the
English at Waterloo, knows not when he is
beaten. We have spoken of the Duke of Wellington's
apparent torpidity in the House—torpid is scarcely the
word ; he seems to be iu a deep slumber, his chin
!eating upon his breast, his arms crossed, and his
legs crook-id together ; he looks the very picture of
an old—very old man. The Great General, how-
f" an appearances, is wakeful enough ; not

The race was as fine a one as ever was seen. The
course, which was situated near the Croix de Berny,
consisted of two small circles, connected together by a
long straight piece of country ; the circle next the as in-
ning-post was along the side of a hill, and could all be
viewed by the spectators. Right in front of the a inning-
post was the brook, the great leap of Ile day, and after
the horses had cleared it they went up the country,
rounded the other circle, and came straight home.
At starting Matchless touk the lead, Gaz .ly second, St.
Leger in the ruck behind. At one of the fences in mounting
the side of the hill, Switcher refused, but his rider driv-
ing., hi.n at it, forced him through. They then all came
down the bill nearly together, having to clear four or
five fences ands wall in their way. Discount was first
over the br,ok, Matchless second, St. L .ger third,
Switcher's hind legs caught in the bank, bat his rider
got him up cleverly; I.lack and his rider fell in and lust
all chance. They then drove along up to the circle,
being for a while lost sight of by the spectators. 'When
they appeared again they were nearly all together, and
seven of the horses were over the last leap within a few
seconds of each other. St. Leger, and Young Lottery,
and Discount were all on a line. The two former got a
little in advance just at the finish, and finally St. Leger,
after whip and spur were plied, won by a neck. It was
a quick run race considering the state of the ground, up.
wards of four miles being done in less than eleven mi-
nutes. Value of stakes about 30,000 f. The Duke de
Nemours arrived just as the race had concluded. The
crowd was immense, and the number of carriages greater
than last year. The weather was fine in the morning,
and wet during the running.
The second race was about to be run when this re-
port left the ground.

madness by the excruciating tortures of this disease, but re-
store to perfect health in an inconceivably short space of
time. They are equally speedy ;rd certain in rheninatism,
either chronic or acute, lumbago, sciatica, pains in the head
or face, and indeed for every rheunaaiic or gouty affection : in
fact, such has been the rapidity, perfect ease, and complete

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF CHANCERY April 13.

The Lord Chancellor resumed his sittings to-day,
after tho Easter recess. His Lordship sat in his Court
at Westminster, and, after disposing of sere ral lunatic
petitions in his paper, proceeded to hear appeals.
APPERLEY V. PACE. •

This case came before his Lordship upon appeal from
the decision of the Vice-Chancellor Knight Bruce over-
rulirg a demurrer put in by the defendants to the bill
filed by the plaintiffs on behalf of themselves and others,
shareholders in the Midland and Easter Counties Rail-
way Company, against the defendants, directors of the
said company. The bill stated that in July, 1845, this
line was projected from the Northern and Eastern Coun-
ties Railway, at Cambridge to Worcester. That the
capital was to b:! 1,500.000/., in 60,000 shares, at 25/. a
share, on each of which the deposit was V. 12s. 6d. The
plaintiffs paid their deposits, but they alleged that they
did so upon the•faith that the whole of the shares would
be duly and properly all.,cated, but that they subse-
quently learned the fact to be, that only 35,000 shares
were allocated, and that of theso 17,840 were not ac-
cepted. The total deposits paid amounted to 47,670/.
At the date of the parliamentary contract, the 29th of
October, 1845, the directors well knew that the project
had failed, and become itnpructicable by reason of the
insufficient allotment of shares, and they incurred the
expense of surveys and other charges, although having
failed to raise the require d capital, they were unable
to apply to Parliament tor an Act tor the projected line.
The defendants, however, applied last session for an Act
for a small portion of the line, extending thirty eight
miles, from Cambridge to Weedon.. The Bill passed the
House of Commor, but was rejected in the House of
Lords, and it has been since finally abandoned. Pursu-
ant to the standing orders, 39,0001 was lodged with the
Accotin'ant-General by the defendants, On account of the
Cambridge and Weedon line. stl.rch suss consisted of the
deposits paid for the line to Worcester. The defendants
obtained an order for the payment out of Court of the
39,000/. to discharge liabilities, but the money had not
yet been paid out. The bill prayed, that as the objects
and purposes for which the company was proposed, had
failed, through the neglect sad mismanagement of the
defendants, they might be declared not entitled to
deduct expenses ?rider the circurastanees stated, and
that an account might be taken of all proper expenses,
and that the plaintiffs Tight be declared liable to said
expenses in the proportion which the number of shares
held by them have to the 6,000 shares originally pro-
posed ; and that after tha payment of such expenses
there should be a distribution of the depo:itA. On the
part of the defendants it was contended th,:t as the bill
substantially prayed for a dissolution of partnership,
there was a want of parties, the majority of the share-
holders not haying been made parties to -the suit. On
the case coming before the Viee-Chancellor Knight
Bruce, his Honour ordered the demurrer to be overruled,
and from that decisi' n the present appeal was brought.
Ilia LORDSHIP, after hearing Mr. Speed on behalf of
the appeal, stated his present impression to be against it,
but said that he weuld take time to consider his judg-
ment.

ROLL S COURT, April 13.
His Lnrilship sat to-day at Westinin,ter, and was
occupied in hearing cases which were of no general in-
terest.

VICE-CIIANCELLOI:S' COURT, April 13.
(Before the VICE CHANCELLOR of ENGLAND
Ills Honour the Vice-Chancellor of England resumtd
his sittings to-day in his Court at Westminse r.
WALL v. WALL—JUDGMENT.
IE3 HONOUR gave judgment to day in this case,
which was argued be!ore him some time since on fur-
ther directions.
By a settlement, dated in 1802, the Baroness de
Thorin heenme entitled to a reversionary interest in a
fund of 14,000/., contingent on the death of her father
and mother, of whom the former wt.s now deceased.
The lady had intermarried in 1835 with the Baron de
111.rin, who, by the marriage, acquired an interest
in the seine fund continent upon the event of his
surviving his wife. By the will of Willatn Wall, en
opub nt banker, in Worcester, which took effect in
1842. a sum of 18,000/. was bequeathed to the Baroness
de f horin, conditionally thtt she should relinquish the
benefit received by the settlement of 1802, and a re-
ference was in cons( quence directed to the Master to
inspire whether it was for the benefit of the wi'e that
she should accept the provision under the will in li• u
of that made by the settlement; hut on the Master
reporting in favour of the bequest under the will. a
difficulty arose by the husband refusing to surrender
his contingent interest in the settlement of 1802, so as to
sanction the wife's election. Application was, there-
fore, made to the Court for the purpose of having
it determined whether the wife's election could stand
independently of the concurrence of the hitsbard.
A second question arose under the same will. The tes-
tator gave to his widow an annuity of 1,8002, issuing
out of certain real estates, vested in trustees, and the
words employed in the devise were, that " she should
have a yearly sum of 1.8001, clear of all taxes and de-
ductions whatsoever." The Inc ,me and Property Tax
Act, schedule A No. 4, sec. 10, directed that the trustees
in whom land is vested, charged with the payment of
annuities, should deduct at the rate of 7d. in the pound
on such annuities. The doubt was w hether the widow
was to take the 1,800/. unbroken, or lees by the inc me-
tax. The Court was clearly ef opinion on th.s sec ,sl
question that the income tax ought to be paid by the
widow, but with respect to the question of election, his
Honour thought that the record, as at presQnt framed,
did not give the Court jurisdiction to decide that. His
Honour thought the best course would be to set apart
the sum of 18,000/. until the Court was in a condition
properly to decide the question.
EVANS V. HUNTER.—JUDGMENT.
His ilimeona also gave judgment in this case, dis-
missing the bill with costs, except so far as it prayed
relief with respect to giving certain certificates, and as
to that the Court granted the prayer of the Bill.

This cause, the particulars of which have already
appeared in this journal, was in the paper for judgment
to-day, but his Honour, after going at great length
through all the facts, directed a further' inquiry.
HUMBLE V. SHORE.
We have already given the facts of this case, which
turns upon the construction of a will.
His lloNourt to-day gave it as his opinion that the
terms of the will should betaken literally, but stated that
he would go further into the authorities that had bes n
cited.

series of triangular ridges. The defendant's was a
series of detached pieces of raper, folded to form three
sides of a square, the bottom side being pasted to the
bottom of the box, and the effect was to obtain a saving
of nearly half the spare, and show the plain as well as
the crimped edges of the material. Space was a great
object in sending goods into the country or abroad.
The complainant's divisions were like a V inverted,
thus " A," and if a square was a different form from a
triangle there was no imitation here of the shape re-
gistered by Mr. Webb. He called several witnesses.
Reuben Hanson, from Messrs. Grocock's, said, they
were the largest dealers in Rouche lace in the world,
They sold about 1,800 boxes per week. Mr. Webb in-
vented the ridges, but Mr. Hughes's plan was much
better. It was important to see how both edges (the
folded and the goffered edges) were made, which could
not be shown by the ridges. The space saved was a
great object, and they sold 12 of tiughes's to one of
Webb's on that acceunt.
Mr. Brooman, the patent agent, and other witnesses,
were called on the same side.
The magistrates retired, and, after being absent some
time,
Sir J. DUNE said, they felt great difficulty in deciding
on the case, and they therefore left the parties to pursue
any other remedy they had.
From questions put by the magistrates it was evident
that they had formed different opinion* ; Mr. Alderman
Gibbs thinking the defendant's plan a piracy of the core-
plainanee, and Sir J. Duke that the shape was cssen-
ti Illy different, and the defendant's tray far more useful
to the trade.
Tee complaint, therefore, was in effect dismissed.
BOW-STREE7'.
_ _

Lydia Basey, a rather elderly woman, dressed in
shabby mourning, was charged with having defrauded
the Admiralty, by personating the deceased widow of a
naval offieer, to whom a pension of 501. per annum was
granted.
On the death of Lieutenant James Guttery, in 1833,
the pension was granted to his widow, who continued to
receive it up to her own death, in 1841, waen the hus
Wed of the prisoner, with a hom the deceased lady had
been lodging, in Reynold's-court, Cripplegate, contrived
to disguise her death from the Admiralty, and, by means
of a false &Aeration, to get the money into his own
hands. This continued up to about a year ago, when he
died also; since which time the pri-oner, by continuing
to personate Mrs. Guttery, had still received the pension.
Information of the fraud, however, now reached the Ad-
miralty, and Inspector Haines apprehended the prisoner,
at a house in Prince's-court, where she appeared to be
living with her children, one of whom was afflicted with
blindness, in a most impoverished condition. She at
first denied all knowledge of the matter, but at the police
station made several admissions establishing her guilt.
She said that the pension was originally bi queathed to
her husband by Mrs. Guttery, and that, at his death,
he left it to her. It was quite clear that a third party
(said to be a woman) had assisted them iu effecting the
fraud.
Mr. Whalley, from the Paymaster General's office,
produced certain declarations, signed by two clergymen,
and representing the woman as the widow of Lieutenant
Glittery, upon the faith of which declarations the pay-
ments were continued, through the navy ageets, Messrs.
Pettet and Newton.
Mr. HALL remarked upon the mischievous cense-
querces of signing declarations without possessing any
knowledge of their contents—a very common practice,
but one whic!i he hail invariably declined at Bow-street,
at the risk of being thought uncivil and disobliging.
The prisoner was remanded for a week.
A man nana4d Harrison, keeping a public-house called
the Peacock, in Houghton-street, Clare-market, was
charged with a felonious assault and robbery, at the
Tailors' Arms, Clement',. court.
The landlady of the Tailors' Arms, a Mrs. Turner,
said that she had retired to her bed-room for a little
nap during divine service on Sunday week, when the
prisoner, who had been drinking in the tap-room, forced
his way intu her bed-room, and, throwing himself
upon her, attempted to violate her person. She escaped
him, and sat down exhausted in a cha'r, when he te-
T eared the attempt. She pulled his ear and scratched
his face, upon which he struck her several times with
vii lence, and then left the room, taking with him 1/.153.
from a work-box on the table. Her huilsaild
being out of town, she took no steps in the matter tiil
his return on Friday, when he caused the prisoner to be
apprt;herided. _

A loter in the house, of with paralysis, saw
the prisoner break into the room, and heard the scuffle.
The prisoner, who reserved his defence, was fully
committe t fur trial.

Mr. Philip Hey, the son of Major-General Hay, was
placed before Mr. Jardine, charged with obtaining money
under false pretences, by means of a cheque drawn by
him upon his father, it was alleged, without authority.
Mr. Gardiner, the proprietor of the Golden Cross,
Charing-cross, said that on Christmas day, 1844, the
prisoner requested him to cash a M. cheque for him. He
said that in an emergency, the banks bt2ing all closed,
he w...uld be obliged to hun if he would advance him 2/.
on the spot and let him have the remainder in a day or
two. He at first hesitate I, but as the prisoner repro
sented that his connections were highly respectable, and
that he was the son of General Hay, upon whom the
cheque was drawn, he acted upon these representations
of the priioner, and advanced him 2/. The next day he
received a note from the prisoner, calling his attention
to the date of the cheque, and requesting that he would
not present it until the 4.. h of January, when it would
become due. lie, therefore, did not present the cheque
till that day, and he was then informed that it was a
•• swindling trial-action altogethur," and that several
similar cheques had been presented and refused. He
left the cheque at the bankers, Messrs. Cox and Green-
wood, for. a tew days, and he understood that it had
been shown to Colonel (now General) Hay, and he dis-
honoured it.

The prisoner called his father, General Thy, to prove
that he bad given him, a general authority to draw
cheques upon him for small amounts, and that if this
one was refused it was by mistake. The General stated,
most distinctly, that his son had authority to draw not
only this checque, but many others, and that, had this
been presented to him he would have paid it. He was
surprised that Mr. Gardiner had not applied to him be-
fore taking the course he had adopted.
Mr. JARDINE said this was a complete answer to the
charge.
The prisoner was liberated, but was followed out by
the officer engaged in the case, who took him into cus-
tody again on a second charge, to be preferred at an-
other Court.

WORSHIP-STREET.
A young man, named Wif Liam King, was charged with
having been concerned with another man, not in cus-
tody, in stealing 27 gold rings and other articles of
jewellery from the sh,,p of Mr. Robert Lindsay, a jewel-
ler, in Crown-street, Finsbury.
Between three and four o'clock on Saturday afternoon
the prisoner and another man were observed lurking
about in a suspicious manner in the front of the prosecu-
tor's shop, and directly afterwards the prisoner was seen
to withdraw his hand rapidly from the window, and
transfer a quantity of jewellery into one of his pockets.
The two men then parted from each other, and both ran
off in different duections, but the prisoner was hotly pur-
sued by a young man named Ralph Hale and a number
of other pers.ms, who were quickly gaining upon
when, to divert tin:ir attenti.:n, he commenced scattering
portions of the jewellery at intervals upon the pavement
es he ran ; but Hale perseveringly felt's; eti, him until
he took refuge in a court in C:1 lon
.street, when he sue
ceeded in capturing and giving him into custody, though
not in time to prevent his getting rid of the valuables,
of which only one ring was found lit his pessessain upon
searching him at the station-house.
Several gold seals, pies, and brooches, and a card can-
Mining 27 gold rings, were produced in court by different
witinsses, who had picked them up during the prisoner's
flight, and identified by the prosecutor, who stated that,
in addition to the property recovered, a quantity of other
costly jewellery-, consisting of dress pills, gold finger
rinms, and other articles to the value of 20/., were still
Polic,man Kemp, of the N division, deposed that for
several 3 ears past the prisoner had subsisted entirely by
uttering countt.rfeit coin and committing other depreda-
tions, and that he had not long since completed a
lengthened term of imprisonment upon a conviction for
felo.,y at the Central Criminal Court.
The prisoner, on being asked if he wished to say any-
thing, declined offering any defence, and was committed
or trial,
Edward Parrat,itum, 14 years of age, an apprentice to
M. Newman, boot and shoemaker, No. 33, Gloster-
street, Hoxton, Old Town, was charged by Serjeant
James Godfrey, of the N division of police, with cutting
and wounding his fellow apprentice, Alfred Fullum,
aged 17, with intent to do him some grievous bodily
harm.
Alfred Fullum, who appeared so weak as scarcely to
be enabled to give his evidence, stated, that about four
o'clock on Monday afternoon he was called down stairs
by his master. He was absent only a few minutes, and on
his return he found the prisoner using his tools. Wit-
ness complained, and told the prisoner he deserved a
good thrashing. The prisoner said, witness dare not
touch him. Witness, however, smacked his face, and
the prisoner instantly rushed at him with the knife pro-
duced, and cut him severely across the arm.
A medical certificate having been put in,
The prisoner denied the felonious part of the charge,
and said that it was purely accidental. The wound was
occasioned by his putting up his hand, in which he held
his knife, to ward off the blow aimed at him by Fullum.
The Magistrate ordered that ha should be again
brought up previous to his committal, on the charge of
feloniously cutting and wounding with intent, &c.
CLERKEN WELL.
A gentlemanly-looking young man, who appeared to
be in an almost dying state, was led to the bar by Wad-
dineton, the gaoler, and Mr. Wolff, his professional
adviser, to answer a charge preferred against him by
John Kelly, a shoprnan in the employment of Woolston
holme, pawnbroker, of Leather-lane, Holborn, of having
stolen a quantity of Orleans cloth and Irish linen.
The prisoner, whose name. was John Cooper, was
taken into custody on last Wednesday, and placed in one
of the cells at the station-house, and upon the officer on
duty in the yard going round to the place where the pri-
soner was confined he observed him lying in an apparently
lifeless state upon the floor, and upon closer examination
it was found that he had inflicted a fearful gash across
his right artn. Mr. Taylor, the divisional surgeon, wa
instantly sent for, and after the wound had been dressed
he was removed to the Royal Free Hospital, in the
Gray's Inn- road, where he remained until that morning.
When Mr. Combe, the presiding magistrate, per-
ceiving the weak and dejected state in which the prisoner
was, be most kindly ordered him to be taken into the
private room and supplied with every attention which
his position required. By some oversight, when the
prisoner was first locked up he was allowed to retain a
penknife by the officer on duty.
The facts of the robbery as seated in evidence ap-
peared to be, that the prisoner entered the shop of Mr.
Woolstonholine, and offered to pledge a piece of Lima

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
GUILDHALL.
Sir J. Duke and Mr. Alderman Gibbs were engaged
n. three hours in hearing an information for an in-
ringement of a registered design, which appeared to
excite great interest in the lace trade.
Mr. J. Payne, the barrister, and Mr. Tippets, a soli-
citor, appeared to support the complaint ; and Mr.
Clarkson and Mr. Word worth attended as counsel, and
as solicitors, for the
(11,ef:usrdsa.nt. Devonshire and Wilson,
The information charged that Mr. Webb, of Wood-
street and ManeheFter, had registered an original design
for a protective roache tray, and that Mr. liesketh
Hughes, of Cripplegate buildings, had sold a fraudulent
imitation of such design.
" Rouehe," it was explained, is a piece of thin lace,
about two inches in width, and a yard. in length. Tee
lace is first crimped (or gofferee, as it is termed) ;
thread is then run down the centre, and next the lace is
folded in half. It is then ready for use, either as lades'
" whiskers," or as a double frill border round a cap, &c.
Mr. Payne said, he understood the question was to be
met upon its merits, hut he was prepared to go into the
preliminary proof by putting in the certificate of regis-
tration, proving that notice was given to the defendant
not to infringe on the register, mid that he had, never-
theless, sold the fraudulent imitations of the design
subsequently.
Mr. Clarkson said he would give him no trouble on
these points.
Mr. Payne proceeded to explain the state of ihin7s
before the invention was registered by his cli mt. The
rouche lace was kept in round boxi containing three
tiers, and the mischief was that only one-third of the
lace could be shown at a time, and no part of it could
be removed without disturbing the rest. The cone-
plainant, who is a rouche maker, invented a box for his
goods which enabled a draper to exhibit the go els bet-
ter, and to remove any portion without disturbing the
rest. Instead of a round deep, be had a long shallow one,
and instead of laying strips of paper between each row of
lace he folded a sheet of paper so as to form a series of ridges
The lace was then put into the troughs between the
ridges, two of which troughs held a complete length of
lace. It contained 12 yards, like tl- e round boxes, but
presented the whole to view at once. About six weeks
after the registration the defendant registered the in-
fringement. By ripping open the top of each ride, he
was enabled to Put into the tray nearly double the quan-
tity. This might be an improvement, but it was neither
law nor common sense that
man's original and novel design,
that if a man adde'i some little
improvement to anothe
the improver should talio the benefit of the whole. In
such a case the improver must either make an arrange-
ment with the inventor, or wait till the inventor's term
of registry or
patent expired. He referred to 'Words
worth's work on the Patent Law, and urged that the
cutting open the tops of the ribs or ridges, all the rest
being precisely the same, was bat a colourable change,
and, in fact, a fraudulent iinnettien.
Philip CaPelain, a registration agent, deposed that be
prepared the
spEcificatio The ridges were all com-
plainant claimed as novel, and the defendant had copied
their., slitting the ridges open at the op.
Cross-e x°rniced by Mr. Clarkson—The defendant's
n.
tray exhibited the plain edge as well as the two goffered
edges, which the complainant's did not. The com-
plainant's box was ten inches wide, and the defendant's
about six inches. The length of each was the same.
Mr. Clarksou said, there was no infringeent in this
ease. The specification of the complainant's invention
was insufficient, for it did not specify what parts were
new and what were known before, as particularly re-
quired by the Act. It was net new to put lace into an
oblong paper box, nor to pat slips of paper between the
rows of lace; but it was new to fasten the strips of paper
to the box, of which the specification took no notice;
and it was new to have a sheet of paper fielded so as to
present a series of ribs instead of baying seperate loose
ribs. The specieoasion contained no reference to what
was old, and what was therefore defective. The Act had
reference only to matters of form. It was nothing
that the same principle or ides was taken up if the
form and means were different. Principles were
protected by the Patent. law, and mere shape by the
Registration-law, If he showed the shape w, s
different, and essentially more useful, he should
relieve his client. The complainant'S invention Was a

While the shopman was looking at it, the prisoner was
observed to take down two pieces of Orleans cloth and
Irish linen, which hung near the door and conceal them
under bis coat. Win n taxed with the robbery he at
firbt denied it after having dropped the linen upon the
ground.
When called upon for his defence, he made three or
four attempts to speak, and at length said, in a faint
voice, that he would say nothing at the present moment.
He was fully committed to take his trial upon this
charge.
A second charge was preferrel against him of having
stolen a waistcoat, but owing to the weak and exhausted
state in which he appeared to be, the hearing of it was
adjourned.

MARYLEBONR.
Mr. Rewlinson was occupied for nearly two hours in
the investigation of a chargeagainst a number of persons
who had been taken into custody for having been con-
cerned in stealing property to the amount of nearly
6001. from a van belonging to Messrs. Crowley and Co.,
which firm had by hacdbills offered a reward of 80/. for
such information ae would lead to the apprehension and
conviction of the thieves.
The names of the prisoners were John Freer,
William Martin. Henry East, Swale! Freer, John
Cherry, Joseph Taylor. James Taylor, Joel Tayl,r,
L'o Joseph optr, and William Pel'in. A considerable
degree of interest was excited. in cons, qu:nce of the
numerous robberies which from time to rime have been
perpetrated at the diff4ent stations, and the court was
therefore much crowded.
Mr. Vann attended for the 'prosecution; Mr. Wilkin-
son, manager to Messrs. Crowley. the well-known rail-
way carriers, also attereli d, as did Mr. Barker, superin-
tend rit of the Railway. Company's police, and Inspector
Pave), of the N division.
A great deal of evidence was gone into, from which it
appeared that several of the prisoners had carried off
from the terminus a quantity of goods in a van, and that
they had no right whatever to do so: A portion of the
said good% was ultimately met with by Sergeant Sen-
ders, at 3, Colnbroke place, Raton. It was further
stated that at the house in question much of the pro-
perty stolen was discovered.
Other evidence was gone into touching the robbery,
and the six prisoners first named were remanded till
Tuesday next; and the others were discharged on their
promising to appear on the day named.
WARK.
Mr. Dunn, the barrister, now an inmate of the Queen's
Prison, addressed a note to the magistrate relative to an
application for a summons, against, a shoemaker for re-
fusing to deliver up a pair ot shoes with which he was
intrusted to repair, The writer, in setting forth his com-
plaint, mentioned that having a pair ot shoes the soles of
which were rather too thick, particularly as he was not
compelled to be out in dirty weather, he was anxious to
have the old soles taken off and st new pair of lighter
ones placed on in their stead. lie therefore sent for a
shoemaker, and, having pointed out to him the repairs
he required, the shoes we re taken away, and when
brought hack he had reason to be displeased with the
workmanship as well as the price that was charged. The
shoemaker had in fact made a claim of 4s. 61. for soling
the shoes, and although the old soles were in point of
fact better than the new ones, the former being, as was
mentioned before, too thick, that being the only fault,
yet he refused to make any allowance fir "them. The
writer added that the object of the present application
was to obtain a warrant or summons against the
man of whem he complained, for he absolutely tefueed
to deliver up possession of the shoes un:ess 4s. 6J. was
paid—an extortionate demand, which he refused to
comply with, and he could nut get the shoes out of his
hands except by compulsion.
Ms. SECHER, who perused the note, could not help
smiling at the contents; and, addressing the bearer of it,
a boy, desired him to inform his maser that no pro: ess
crated be issued from this court against the shoemaker
upon such a complaint ; that Mr. Dunn ought to have
made an agreement as to the pries he was to have given
for the repairs of the shoe; before they were finished,
and then this complaint of his would have been obviated.
P., however, that gentleman still considered the shoe-
maker had not acted fairly on the occasion, he could
sue him, if he pleased, for breach of contract, at the
Southwark Small Debts Court ; but, at the same time,
he (the Magistrate) would rot advise such a step, but
would rather recommend Mr. Dunn to pay the shoe
maker his demand, get his shoes back, and the next
time his shoes wanted mending, to agree about the
price beforehand, and then there would be no reason to
complain.
