The Queen and the Prince will of course sojourn al

Trinity Lodge, and lunch will be ready for them at two
o'clock on Monday. At three o'clock the Chancellor,
and possibly the Queen, will go the Senate-house, where
Honorary Degrees will be conferred by his Royal High-
ness. At half-past six in the evening the royal party
will dine with the Vice-Chancellor in the hall of Ca
tharinc hall. It unfortunately happens that the accom-
modation is small, and consequently the Vice-Chan-
cellor's hospitality will necessarily be confined to a'iout
sixty guests. After dinner there will be a concert in
the Senate-house, to commence at half•past eight o'clock.
With respect to this concert we regret to announce that
Jenny Lind'a engagements in London will prevent her
from coming ; but treaties are pending with Grisi,
Alboni, Mario, and Lablache, and Miss Birch, Miss
Dolby, Mr. Philips and Mr. Lockey are engaged. The
band will comprise the elite of the Philharmonic and
Choral Societies of London; and there will be a full
chorus, amongst which will be the Cambridge, Ely, and
Peterborough choirs. It is understood that her Majesty
and the Prince will attend this concert.
On Tuesday the proceedings in the Senate-house will
commence at ten o'clock. The great feature will be the
performance of the Installation Ode, in which the singers
at the concert will take a part. In the afternoon the
royal party will honour the horticultural fête at Downing
with their presence. We have already stated that most
extensive preparations are on foot for this fife, which
will be a splendid thing. In the evening a grand ban-
quet will be given in the noble hall of Trinity College,
which will be attended by the Queen and the Chancellor.
The plate for this banquet, as well as that at Catherine
Hall, will be supplied by Mr. Read, of Market-hill.
The public breakfast ,in Trinity and St. John's will
take place on Wednesday morning, to commence at 12
o'clock. All preliminary arrangements for this grand
fete have been concluded, and the highest anticipations
of its attractions are indulged in. Tickets can be pro-
cured only through members of the Senate ; and for the
distribution of them the members of the committee of

management will attend at Mr. Barraclough's rooms,
ucar the Senate-house, on and after Friday, July 2.
We understand that the price of the tickets will be IL Is.,
with the addition of 55., if not procured before Wednesday
morning. We are glad to add that the profits will be
applied for the benefit of Addenbrooke's Hospital. The
reader is aware that the two Colleges will be united by
a temporary bridge across the Cam. The bridge will be
erected nearly opposite the northern end of the library ;
the contract for it has been taken by Mr. Peck, of this
town, and we hear that it will be a neat and tasty struc-
ture. After the public breakfast her Majesty and the
Prince will take their departure for town.
All the details that we have given are connected with
the University ; but there will be rejoicings in which the
townspeople can partake. These, however, are not com-
pleted at the hour at which we write, but we apprehend
there is no doubt that there will be a grand display of
fire-works.
We may say generally that there is no doubt whatever
that the town and University will be crowded with dis-
tinguished company. We have given lists before, to
which we might now make additions ; but perhaps next
week we shall be in a position to extend the hst very
considerably. The best spirit prevails amongst those
charged with carrying out this interesting event, and the
highest hopes are entertained of a brilliant issue.
" The Registrary will attend for the purpose of distribut-
ing tickets at his office in the Pit Press, on Wednesday June
30, and on Friday July 2, from nine o'clock to one, a.m. ; and
at his rooms in Trinity college
on Thursday July 1, from 6 to 10 p.m. ;
on Friday July 2, from 81 to 10 p.m.
on Saturday July 3, from 8 to 91 a.m. ;from 81 to 10 p.m.
on Monday July 5, from 8 to 9i a.m.; from 8/ to 10 p.m.
and on Tuesday, July 6, from 8 to 9y a.m.

IMMENSE ARRIVAL OF BREAD STUFFS.— WC
announce with pleasure the arrival, on yesterday, into
our harbour of thirty-two vessels of large tonnage, laden
with maize, flour, and wheat. Our advices from Cove
this morning, half-past nine o'clock, announce a further
arrival of thirty-two vessels similarly laden, with a
large number outside the harbour. The quantity of
bread stuffs brought by yesterday's shipping amounts to
10,077 tons, which added to that brought by this morn-
ing's arrival, about 10.100—makes a total of 20,177 tons.
This is cheering news for the country. Our harbour
never before presented so gay a spectacle as at present,
there being over 230 vessels of all tonnage, and bearing
at their mast heads the flags of nearly every country in
the universe.—Cork Examiner, Wednesday.

SCILLY.--The crops of all kinds look well, and ship-
ments of new potatoes are being made almost every day.
They are of excellent quality, and good size, although
not fully come to maturity ; price twenty shillings per
bushel of 1401bs.— West Briton.
PONTYPOOL. SIIOCKING OCCURRENCE. On the
evening of Wednesday, June 9th, a farmer, named John
Herbert,' residing at the Varteg, near Pontypool, went
to a limekiln on his farm, which he had charged in the
morning, to see how it progressed, and finding it not
burn so briskly as he wished, he went down a ladder
which he had placed for the purpose, with an iron bar,
and gave the top vent, when he fell down apparently
lifeless, from the effects, it is supposed, of the carbonic
acid gas which issued from the limestone. His son, a
lad about eleven years of age, who was standing on the
top of the kiln, called out, when a servant man, who
was near, ran, and immediately went down the the ladder
to assist his master, and met a similar fate. A young
man. named Lewis, was at hand, lost no time in bllow-
ing the servant to assist the other, two, when he unfor-
tunately fell lifeless. 'the son then ran off to Blaenav'on
to his mother, who was there attending a funeral, and
gave the alarm, when several persons hurried to the kiln,
and there found them all three dead. An inquest was
held on Friday, before W.F. Batt, Esq., deputy coroner,
when a verdict of " Accidental Death" was returned in
each case.—Monmouthshire Merlin.

THE CROPS.—We have not heard two different
opinions expressed, amongst the farmers we have con-
versed with, as to the prospects of the forthcoming crops ;
all concur in stating them to be most favourable. Ve-
getation of all kinds is springing up with a rapidity sel-
dom surpassed—the mild weather and succession of ge-
nial showers producing everywhere the most beneficial
results. The wheats look strong and healthy, and in
many places are in ear. Turnips are coming forward
rapidly, and so fitr seem to have escaped the atyck of
the fly. With regard to the potatoes, about which so
much anxiety is expressed and so many doubts pro-
claimed, we can answer for our own neighbourhood that
they never wore a more promising or luxurious appear-
ance at this season of the year ; and we are not aware
that the slightest indication of disease has been dis-
cover.d.—Curlisle Journal.
Chic Rev. Dr. Jerrard had an interview on Saturday
with Sir George Grey.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, June 19.
COBBETT V. HUDSON.

The plaintiff in this ease isCIL-Zit of the celebrated
William Cobbett, and the defendant is the keeper of the
Queen's Bench Prison, in which the plaintiff has been
confined ever since 1842. The action was brought to
recover damages for an alleged false return made by the
defendant to a writ of habeas corpus, requiring the de-
fendant to bring up the body of Mr. Cobbett at the
Court at Westminster, for the purpose of showing upon
what grounds he was detained in custody.
After hearing counsel on either side at some length,
Lord DENMAN was of opinion that a false return had
not been proved, and that as there was no case made out
for the jury, a nonsuit ought to be entered.—Nonsuit
entered accordingly.
Mr. Knowles, Q.C., appeared for the plaintiff, and
Mr. Watson, Q.C., for the defendant. Mr. Cobbett (the
plaintiff) was present during the trial of the case.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.
OLD COURT. _

FORGERY.—A young man, named Horatio Nelson
[Vett, was charged with uttering forged railway scrip.
(Continued from our Afternoon Edition of Saturday.) 11

Mr. Morgan, the secretary to the company, proved
that these instruments were all forgeries, and that they
appeared to have been struck from the same die or plate
as the others that had been sold by Mr. Berkley. There
was the same mistake in the word " proportionate" at
the back of the instrument, and the numbers were higher
than any that had been issued by the company.
Daniel Forrester, the officer, proved the apprehension
of the prisoner, and also that he said he had not been in
Birmingham for two years and a half, and denied having
applied for any letters at the post-office in Moorgate-
street, addressed to Mr. Perry.
Mr. Morgan was recalled, and in answer to a question
put by Mr. Ballantine, he said he did not believe the
name of the prisoner was among those who had signed
the subscribers' agreement, and the Parliamentary con-
tract. _

By Mr. CLARKSON-It was intended to distribute the
new shares among the old proprietors of the company
who chose to have them, and none had yet been issued to
the public.
The forged instruments were put in, and one was read.
It was to the usual effect, certifying that the holder hav-
ing paid 51. as deposit, and subscribed the necessary do-
cuments, was entitled to one 501. new share in the capital
of the company, &c.
Mr. CLARKSON said this was the case for the prose-
cution. _ _ _

Mr. BALLANTINE then addressed the Court, and said
he should submit to their Lordships that there was no
case to go to the jury, because the instrument which was
the subject of the alleged forgery was not in truth
such an instrument as came within the contemplation
of the statute. The prisoner was charged in a variety
of forms with forgery, in uttering a forged receipt, a
warrant, an undertaking, &c., and the whole of the
charges were supported by the production of a docu-
ment which had been described as railway scrip, and the
question was, whether this instrument was properly
described in any of these counts. First, as to its being
a receipt—be should contend that it was perfectly clear
it was never intended to be treated as a receipt, or con-
sidered as such by the company, and it was no more
than a receipt that a statement in a bond, that a certain
sum had been paid, could be called a receipt. A receipt
was the discharge of the party making the payment; but
in this document there was no discharge—it was entirely
conditional. The Learned Counsel cited in support of
his argument the case of llarvey, in Russell and Ryan,
227, in which the prisoner was accused of forging a re-
ceipt, and the instrument was in these terms, " William
Chenery, Esq., paid to Thompson the sum of 81." It
was written on a proper stamp, but no name was signed.
The prisoner was convicted, but the point was reserved
for the consideration of the judges whether such an in-
strument was properly described as a receipt; and the
judges held that it was not a receipt, and that the instru-
ment merely admitted that Chenery had paid the money,
but was no acknowledgment of the receipt of it. After
the decision that had been come to in the recent case
to which he had alluded, he did not think it was neces-
sary to trouble their Lordships much further with regard
to the question as to the instrument being a receipt.
Baron ROLFE—You are entitled to this, certainly;
that it was the opinion of the Court that it was not a
receipt for money.
Mr. BALLANTINE considered this quite sufficient, and
he was of opinion the same argument would apply to
those counts charging the instrument as an accountable
receipt. Then, as to its being a warrant for the pay-
ment of money. A warrant, he contended, was an in-
strument which authorised a person to pay or receive
money, but by this instrument authority was given to
no one to do either. The result was merely mentioned
upon the parliamentary contract and subscriber's agree-
ment being signed, but the prisoner had been proved not
to have signed either ; and, therefore, in his case he
could have no claim upon the company, and the docu-
ment was so much waste paper. With regard to those
counts which treated the instrument as a warrant for the
delivery of a valuable security—what were the facts?
That the party holding the scrip was entitled to a 501.
share in the undertaking, both as regarded profit and
loss, and so far from this share representing money or
property, it was possible that by incurring a share of
liability, it might actually represent a loss instead of a
profit. He considered that the same objections would
apply to the counts describing the instrument as an un-
dertaking for the payment of money. There were two
questions involved on the point; first, was the instrument
in itself a warrant for any purpose whatever? and, se-
cond, if it were a warrant, could it be considered in any
other light than conditional upon the signing the parlia-
mentary contract and subscriber's agreement? and as the
prisoner had been proved not to have performed this ope-
ration, he submitted that he could not be liable. There
was also no evidence that the South-Western Railway
Company had any right or authority to issue such in-
struments ; and he said that if they had no such autho-
rity, of course the forging them would not be felony.
The Learned Counsel then cited a case in which the
Master of the Rolls had decided that canal shares did
not come within the description of securities, inasmuch
as they could be bought and sold ; and he argued that
railway shares were of precisely the same character as
canal shares. He also reminded the Court that the
statute referring to the offence of forgery, and which
defined the instruments capable of proving the subject of
that charge, had been passed at a period when such an
instrument as railway scrip was entirely unknown, and
that, therefore, it would hardly be just to suppose that
such was contemplated by its provisions. The Leaned
Counsel concluded by calling upon the Court to with-
draw the case from the jury, and to direct the prisoner
to be acquitted of the charge of felony, upon the grounds
he had stated.
Chief-Justice WILDE having conferred with his
Learned Brother, said it was impossible not to see that
this was a question of very great importance and interest
to the public, on account of the enormous amount of
property invested in securities of this description. He
was of opinion that there was very great doubt as to the
real character of these instruments, and as the counsel
for the prosecution was desirous that the question should
be gravely considered by the whole of the judges, he
considered that the case ought to go to the jury, and the
point raised would then probably be considered by the
judges.
Mr. CLARKSON said that the company whom he re-
presented would be perfectly satisfied with a decision so
obtained, and would not take any further steps.
Mr. BALLANTINE then said that he rested entirely
upon the question of law, and as he had no answer upon
the facts of the case, be should not address the jury.
Chief Justice WILDE then briefly summed up, and the
Jury returned a verdict of Guilty, judgment being
respited to await the decision of the fifteen Judges in
November next upon the points of law.

YANKEE TRICK ON A PILOT.—One day last week
the Crosskirk pilot-boat boarded the American brig
Eurotus, of New Orleans, the captain of which engaged
ono of the men to pilot him through the Pentland Firth,
who was to have a barrel of flour for his fee. The vessel
was safely piloted through the Firth, and the pilots re-
turned, bringing with them the supposed barrel of flour,
which, on opening, turned out to be nothing but a mix-
ture of oakum, rope ends, bits of wood, flour, and Indian
corn—the sweepings of the vessel ! The captain had
come from some port in Ireland, and was bound for St.
Petcrsburgh.— Caithness Chronicle.
DEATH OF CARTER, THE LION KING.—Mr. James
C. Carter, known as the celebrated " Lion King," died
yesterday morning, at his residence, No, 12, Arundel-
street, Strand, of inflammation of the chest. Mr. Carter
was in his 35th year. lie was born in Thornberry,
Gloucestershire, but passed the greater portion of his
life in the United States. He earned a wide reputation
in England, and on the continent, by his daring and
wonderful feats with lions, tigers, &c., a fine collection
of which animals he had recently purchased, for the
purpose of again making his appearance in public. Mr.
Carter has left a widow and a very large circle of friends
to mourn his early sudden loss.
BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, JUNE 18.—We have
experienced an improved demand for raw sugars this
week, and a slight advance has been established on the
former currency: the refined market is rather dull, and
prices must be quoted easier, say from 60s. to 635., for
brown to standard quality. Nothing doing in rum.—
Bristol Mercury.
WAKEFIELD CORN-MARKET, FRIDAY.—This week
there is an average supply of wheat and a fair quantity
of oats ; of other articles the arrivals are trifling. There
is a good consumptive demand for wheat, at a reduction
of ss. to 6s. per quarter. For oats and shelling there is
a retail inquiry at declining prices. In beans and other
articles no alteration.
MANCHESTER PRODUCE MARKET, FRIDAY.--The
sugar market has assumed a firmer aspect this week, and
the sales, which have been to a fair extent, establish an
advance of 6d. per cwt. on last week's prices. Refined
sugar and treacle are lower. Fine golden syrup is
quoted 265. The tea market continues quiet, without
any alteration in prices.—Manchester Guardian.
