W. Brockedon, Esq , F.R.S.
From David Roberts, Esq., R.A

Fitzroystreet, December 22, 1C45.
My dear Brockedon,—l am so delighted with the blacklead pencils
which you. sent to me for trial, that I shall feel obliged by your let-
ting me know, without delay, where I can get a few more of them,
particularly the Hit's, to go on with.
Having tried them on some of the architectural subjects of my
forthcoming work on Egypt and Nubia, and finding them so superior
to everything of the kind I have hitherto been in the habit of using,
I am convinced that whoever gives them a trial will immediately
adopt them in preference to all others. The best wish I can offer to
you is, that the inventor may come in for a fair share of the profit
which must arise from their becoming universal.
With my sincere thanks for this discovery, and best wishes far the
success it so justly merits, believe me,
Faithfully and truly yours,
W. Brockedon, Esq. DAVID ROBERTS.

HORRIBLE TREATMENT OF A

WIFE BY HER HUSBAND.
(From the North British Mail of Friday.)

Yesterday, a most revolting case of cruelty and
barbarity, on the part of a husband towards his wife,
was discovered by Mr. George Campbell, one of the
sub-inspectors of the poor for Glasgow. From in-
formation which Mr. Campbell received, he went to
the house of a man named George Fay, in South St.
Mungo-street, and on examining the premises, he dis -
covered Fay's wife confined in a water-closet, where
according to her statement, she had been kept by her
husband ever since May last. The dimensions of
the closet were only 3 feet 10 inches by 2 feet 11
inches, and the height 10 feet. The poor creature
was in a wretched condition, being literally covered
with filth and vermin, with scarcely an article
of clothing on her person, and in a half-famished
state. The inhuman monster was given into the
custody of the police, as well as a girl named Margaret
Hume, the servant, and two lodgers, named Alex-
ander Hume and Alexander Holland, who are charged
with being accomplices in' the offence. Every care
and attention was paid to the unfortunate woman by
Mr. Camybell, and it is expected she will shortly
recover from the effects of her long and close con-
finement. The affair is undergoing official investi-
gation, but we have not as yet ascertained the cause
which induced Fay to act in this way towards his
wife, but we trust that all parties concerned will
meet with a punishment commensurate with such
brutal conduct.

SATURDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 25, 1847.

a most unwarrantable manner in giving a respectable
person in custody on such a disgraceful charge. It
was almost impossible for any one to guard against
the accidental possession of a piece of base money,
which they might have without being at all conscious.
of it, and if such harsh proceedings were to be adopted.
in all cases, it was manifest that no one would be'
safe. The conductor had rendered himself liable to
an action for false imprisonment, and he would re-
coMmend him to endeavour to make his peace with.
the defendant, and to offer her ample apology for the
injurious treatment she had been subjected to. Ile
greatly regretted the annoyance and inconvenience
the defendant had been exposed to, and he should
order her to be at once discharged.
London, England, 1847-03-22

TEMPERANCE.

Mr. HUME also presented a petition from the inha•
bitants of the district of Groke, praying that some re•
striction might be placed on the destruction of human
food, for the purpose of being distilled into that which
was the parent of crime, and the source of immorality.

- HARBOURS OF REFUGE.
Mr. HUME also presented a petition signed by every
person who bad any property in shipping connected
with the port of Cowes, praying that it might be con-
verted into a harbour of refuge, for which they stated it
to possess peculiar advantages.
MARRIAGES AND DEATHS REGISTRY.
Mr. MIME alao presented a petition from the parish
clerks and schoolmasters of Arbroath, in the county of
Forfar, against the Deaths and Marriages Registry Bill.
They stated that they were entitled to the emoluments
of the clerks of session on this point, and that this Bill
would do away with the benefit which they enjoyed;
and they prayed the House either to reject the Bill
altogether, or to introduce a clause to give them com-
pensation,____

Mr. FORBES having understood that the Lord Ad-
vocate had left town, wifled to ask whether there was
any disposition to postpone the second reading of the
Bill till after Easter?

Mr. F. MAULE said that he was quite sure that his
Right Hon. Friend the Lord-Advocate would be
ready to meet the wishes of the Scottish Members, and
he would therefore, as a matter of course, put it on the
paper for him for some day after Easter.
Mr. HUME gave notice that he should persist in his
intention to send this Bill up stairs.
Mr. F. MAULE was sorry to inform his Hon. Friend
that the Lord-Advocate had decided upon resisting such
a course.

EDUCATION.

Mr. C. BERKELEY wished to ask the Noble Lord a

the head of the Government a question of very great
importance, which was causing great agitation through
out the country: whether it was the intention of the
Government to persevere in the scheme of education as
laid down in the minutes of the Council? If he answered
that in the affirmative, when was it his intention to
bring the miscellaneous estimates before the House?
Lerd J. RUSSELL said it was the intention of the
Government to persevere—(Loud cheers)—in the plan
of education laid down in the minutes of the Council.
He had to state, also, that he would bring on the miscel-
laneous estimates after Easter, and would take the vote
for education on the 19th of April.
POOII-LAW.

Mr. P. BORTHWICK wished to ask the Noble Lord
whether it was the intention of the Government to pro•
pose any amendment of the poor law after Easter? He
VVIIR led so ask that question, seeing the Hon. Member
for Knaresborough had given notice of his intention to
bring the whole subject before the House.
Lord JOHN RUSSELL said it was the intention of
the Government to propose an amendment of the poor-
law after Easter.

LA.W INTELLIGENCE.
COURT or CHANCE f;Y, March 20.

The Lord Chancellor sat in the Old Hall, Lincoln's-inn,
to-day, and heard appeals.

CIIAPPLE V. PIRDAY.—FILA DIAVOLO.
This case came before the Court upon appeal on the part
of the defendant, Mr. Purday, from the decision of the Vice-
Chancellor of England dismissing the plaintiff's bill, without
giving the defendant his costs. The circumstances of the
case were these :—The plaintiff, Chapple, in the year 1841,
filed his bid, claiming the copyright in a musical work called
Diotcolo, and praying the usual relief, and also an in-
junction to restrain the defendant from pirating that work.
The defendant put in an answer to the bill denying the title
of the plaintiff, and insisting that what he had done was no
piracy. The plaintiff, upon filing his bill, obtained an in-
junction ex parte against the defendant, but that injunction was
dissolved upon a motion for that purpose, and liberty was
given to the plaintiff to bring an action ; the plaintiff, how-
ever, instead of bringing his action, filed a supplemental
bill, still asserting his title to the copyright. The de-
fendant put in a further answer to that bill, insisting that
the question involved was one of law, and challenging the
plaintiff to bring an action to try his right. Upon the case
coming on before the Vice• Chancellor, he ordered the bill to
be retained for a twelvemonth, giving liberty to the
plaintiff to proceed and try the question by an action,
and ordering, unless he did so within the twelve-
month, the bill to be dismissed with costs. The action
was brought in the Court of Exchequer, and a verdict
was given against the plaintiff, thereby deciding that
he had no title to the copyright. The cause was then set
down before the Vice-Chancellor upon further directions, and
his Honour, upon that occasion, made an order dismissing
the bill, simply without giving the defendant his costs.
From that order the present appeal was brought.
Mr. Anderson appeared for the defendant; Mr. Purday and
Mr. Rolt for the plaintiff.
The arguments occupied the attention of the Court the
entire day.

Lord LINCOLN presented a petition from the pres-
bytery of Linlithgow against certain clauses in this Bill.
Mr. FORBES presented similar petitions from the
presbytery of Annan, and other places.
FREE TRADE.

Mr. HUME had several petitions to present, the first
of which wai from some persons in Jamaica, who were
formerly slaves. They stated that the House had been
pleased to lower the duties on sugar, which was the
chief produce, and they were apprehensive that
the alteration might occasion the ruin of those
by whom they were employed. They prayed, there•
fore, that if free trade was to be adopted iu one
department, it might be adopted in all branches of com-
merce; that the Navigation Laws might be dispensed
with, and that they might send their produce home in
foreign vessels; that there might be no restriction on free
labour, and that they might be at liberty to export their
produce to any part of the world. He did not think
that the petition was reasonable, and hoped the House
would not entertain it.
