An event took place on Tuesday last, which
created considerable sensation, and seasonably enlivened the
town of Brighton—we allude to the marriage of Miss Cathe-
rine Cecilia Craven, younger daughter of Charles John
Craven, Esq., of Kemp Town, with Walter Ricardo, Eq.,
late of the 7th (Queen's Own) Hussars. The cortige left
Sussex-square at ten o'clock, and proceeded to the Old
Church, where the ceremony was performed in a most im-
pressive manner by the Rev. James Anderson, preacher of
Lincoln's Inn. The bride was given away by her father, and
was attended by the Hon. Miss Gage, Miss Craven,
Caroline Randolph, Miss Slater, and Miss Anna Bird, who
officiated as bridesmaids. The gallant bridegroom was sup-
ported on this interesting occasion by his brother, Mr. Albert.
Ricardo. The party who were present at the ceremony con-
sisted of Lord and Lady Gage, Lady Henley, Sir John and
Lady Pollen, Mr. and Mrs. J. L Ricardo, Mr. and Mrs. A.
Keyser, Mr. Fulwar Craven, Mr. M. Ricardo, Mr. Albany B.
Saville, Mr. Alfred Peel, and Mr. W. 11. Morley. The morn-
ing was unusually fine, and this, combined with the interest
which has always been felt by the inhabitants of this town
for a family so long resident, so highly respected, and
who have been always so distinguished for their charitable
exertions and real benevolence, attracted a large concourse
of spectators. The children of the Brighton Orphan Asylum,
in whom the bride has always taken a lively interest, were
assembled in the churchyard to take a farewell look of their
youthful patroness, and strewed flowers in the path of the
beautiful and accomplished bride. The ceremony over, the
party returned to Sussex-square, and being joined by a nu-
merous circle of friends, partook of an elegant ‘l4eziner a-lu-
jourchette. At half-past one the happy pair took their leave,
and proceeded to fitness Park, Sunning-hill, the seat of S.
Ricardo, Esq., where they intend passing the honey-moon.
We are given to understand tb it the trousseau was of the
most magnificent description. It will be gratifying to our
lady readers to know that the bride was attired in a white
91acie silk, covered with three deep flounces of Limerick
lace; the head-dress consisted of a long veil of the same
material, encircled by a wreath of orange blossoms and jas-
min. The bridesmaids wore white tarlatan muslin dresses
with scarves, with broad pink sashes, and transparent bon-
nets, with cockades of roses.—Br;ghton Gazette.
ETHER.—PAINLESS SURGICAL OPERATIONS AT THE
Royal, FREE HOSPITAL, GRAY'S-INN-ROAM—On Saturday
afternoon, Thomas Wakley, jun., Esq , surgeon to the Royal
Free Hospital, performed a very difficult operation upon Miss
Ann Sheen, aged 20 years, in presence of several medical
gentlemen connected with the charity. The ether having
been admini,,tered by Mr. T. W. Cooke, the house surgeon,
and inhaled a short time by the patient, a tumour of a can-
cerous nature was removed from the right breast. On re-
covering from the effects of the vapour, the patient spoke
some incoherent sentences, and asked if some one had not
been
pricking her with a pin ; and, on further coming round
observed that she would rather defer the operation. Her as-
tonishment upon finding it already effected may be readily
conceived.
CURIOUS DISCOVERY.—Last week, in one of the
shafts of the tunnel et Craigend, the workmen came upon a
considerable block of rock salt. Whether there is likely
to
be a vein of that article we have not yet learned, but some

which is very pure, and tastes like nitre....Perthshire Courier..

NEW SUBSTITUTE FOR THE
POTATO.
(From the Northern Whig.)
The interest with which every addition to our stock of
plants, capable of affording food, is at present regarded,
will render a few observations, on a species of grain hi-
therto unknown in Ireland, acceptable to our readers. At '
a late meeting of the Council of the Cbernico-Agricul-
rural Society, I produced a sample of the seeds of a
South American plant, which,by the kindness of a friend,
I had procured, about a year ago, from a Peruvian gen-
tleman, who, at present, resides in Liverpool. The
parcel, containing the seeds, was accompanied
with a note, in praise of their numerous valuable .
qualities, and stated, that they were known in Peru by
the name of quinoa. At the same time, my friend sup-
plied Mr. Ferguson, Curator of the Royal Botanic
Garden, with a parcel of the seeds, but which, I regret
to find, upon inquiry, did not vegetate. The only infor-
mation which I could, at that time, procure, respecting
the plant that yields these seeds, was in The writings of
the old Spanish voyager, Don Antonio de Ulloa, who, in
his work on South America, when giving an account of
the vegetable productions of the Province of Quito,
speaks highly of its value, both for fthd and medicine. In
the interesting work on South America of Dr. Tschudi,
a German traveller, which has lately been translated into
English, I observe some additional particulars re-
specting it, which are of peculiar interest, from the
circumstance, that the plant has been successfully culti-
vated in Germany ; end should, according to his ac•
count, be regarded as a valuable substitute for the
potato. The following is the description which Ulloa
gives us of this grain :—" Besides the grains of the
same species with those in Spain, this country (Quito)
ha one peculiar to itself, and which very well deserves
to be ranked among the most palatable foods ; but still
mitre valuable, from its being one of the best preserva-
tives against all kinds of abscesses and imposthumes.
This useful species of grain is here called quinoa, re-
sembles a lentile in shape, but much less, and
very white ; when boiled it opens, and out comes
.a spiral fibre, which apears like a small worm, but
whiter than the husk of the grain. It is an annual plant,
being sowed and reaped every year. The sti mis
about three or four feet in height, and has a large
pointed leaf, something like that of the Malloro. The
flower is of a deep red, and five or six inches in length,
and in it are contained the grains or seed. The quinoa
is eaten boiled, like rice, and has a very pleasant taste,
and the water in which it has been boiled is often used
as an apozern. The quinoa is often used in external
applications, in order to which, it is ground and boiled
to a proper consistence ; after which, it is applied to
the part, from which it soon extracts all corrupt
humours occasioned by a contusisn. Dr. Tschudi's
account of this plant is not less interesting.—" Maize,"
he ssys, "is the species of grain most extensively culti-
vated in the Sierra ; it is of excellent quality, though
smaller than that grown on the coast. Wheat, though
it thrives well, is cultivated only in a very limited
quantity, and the bread made from it is exceedingly
bad. The other species of European grain, barley ex-
cepted, are unknown to the Serrano,. To compensate
for the want of them, they have the quinoa (cheno-
podium quinoa, L), which is at once nutrious, whole-
some, and a pleasant article of food. The leaves of this
plant, before it attains full maturity, are eaten like
spinach ; but it is the seeds which are generally used
for food. They are prepared in a variety of nays, but
most frequently boiled in milk or broth, and sometimes
cooked with cheese and Spanish pepper. The dried
stems of the quinoa are used as fuel. Experiments in
the cultivation of this plant have been tried in some
parts of Germany, and with considerable success.
It would appear, - however, that its flavour is
not much liked--a circumstance rather surprising
to the traveller, who has tasted it in Peru, where it is
regarded in the light of a delicacy. It were to be
wished, that the general cultivation of the quinoa could
be introduced throughout Europe ; for, during the preva-
lence of the potato disease, this plant would be found of
the greatest utility. It is a well-known fact that pots
toes and tea, two articles now in such universal use, were
not liked on their first introduction into Europe. The
quinoa plant, which yields a wholesome article of food,
would thrive perfectly in our hemisphere ; and though,
in its hitherto limited trial, it has not found favour, there
is no reason to conclude that it may not at a future time
become an objest of general consumption."

HANEY RUSSELL AT THE STRAND TREATRE.—
Few of our native vocalists and composers have reached
greater popularity than Mr. Henry Russell—none have better
deserved it. We attribute this success to a variety of cause.
Mr. Russell has a very fine voice, of great compass, and so
exceedingly manageable, that it is capa'.de alike of express-
ing the depths of passion and of pathos. His manner. too, is
,listinguished for its utter want of pretension. His style,
both as a singer and a compose-, is distinguished for its
purity. After a provincial campaign of considerable dura-
tion, he has come back to Loudon for a short time, and has
taken the Strand Theatre for the purposes of his perform-
ances. That place of amusement, which is too small for any
but private theatricals, is exactly the place for a performer
who, without any assistance, undertakes to make two
hours pass so very pleasantly that the auditors "take
no note of time," and when it is done wonder how
the performances could have extended to such a length. Be-
sides, the size of the Strand Theatre peculiarly adapts it for
the voice. There " hearing does not die in vastness," and
the varying intonations and inflections of that magnificent
organ—the human voice—can there be heard with satis-
faction. The theatre has been crowded during the week, and
Mr. Russell has never been in better voice. The changes
" from grave to gay, from lively to severe," in his songs and
anecdotes is very pleasant. " The Dream of the Res eller"
(which, by its truth and power, thrills through the heart),
or the celebrated " Song of the Shirt,'' have scarcely been
uttered, with the added force which music can give, ere the
change is gin to the impulse by some clever and
amusit Negro anecdote, or some lively song. This
variety gives the greatest relief. It has been
Ebenezer Elliott's greatest boast that the immortal
Christopher North once designated him " The Poet
of the Poor," . It may be Mr. Russell's pride, that lie,
especially, merits to be called " The Musician for the People."
Through the medium of his art, he has constantly aimed at
the :melioration of the poorer classes. He has made the
truth plead for them,—he has familiarised the wealthy, the
Aristocracy, and the proud, with the sufferings and wrongs
of the humble and lowly. His is a high mission, and he
fulfils it worthily. We may add that a new system has been
introduced by Mr. Russell at the Strand Theatre. At other
places of amusement the attendants expect fees for taking
charge of cloaks; bonnets, lac., but at Mr. Russell's no such
Ipayments are permitted, while the needful is done quite as
efficiently. and far more courteously, than by feed but ever-
craving servitors.
MORE STREET ROBBERIES IN EDINBURGH.—We
hear that on Wednesday night, last week, a gentleman con-
occed with the Excise, was knocked down on the road lead-
ing from Market-street to the Mound, and robbed of a gold
watch--and late on Saturday night, a tradesman while going
to his house in Potter-row, was assaulted in that street and
robbed of about 15s.—Culedoniun Mercury.
The folowing. paragraph, which we find in the
Toronto Herald, gives a vivid picture of the extreme cold in
Canada :—" It is with no small concern that, at the viry
outset of our new volume, we have been compelled by cir-
cumstances, over which we could have no control, to be
behind-hand as to the hour when to•day's Herald is issued.
On Saturday evening the first side was worked off, and pre-
pared for going to press with the inside sheet the first thing
this morning. Owing, however, to the extreme cold of last
night, the paper—which, as every one acquainted with
printing is aware of, is wetted down previously —was frozen
together in a solid mass, despite all the precautions taken
during the intervening day to prevent such an occurrence.
The consequence has been that the paper had to be thawed,
and some portion of it worked off a second time, era the
ordinary process could be gone on with. Hence toe reason
for the Herald being out so late this day."
LYNCH LAW IN DEVON PORT DOCKYARD.—A ra-
ther summary mode of executing justice was adopted here
last week, on board the hulk occupied by the crew of the
Brazilian vessel now undergoing repair in the dockyard. It
appears that two officers of this vessel engaged a couple of
watermen to row them on board, not taking the caution to
agree as to the fare previously. Now it is well known what
watermen consider it their !Lundell duty to do under these
circumstunces. In the present instance, then, they did not
fail to demand 2s. instead of the one the Brazilians believed
to be properly due. These refused to pay, and began to
ascend the companion ladder. One of the men, with that
polite and courteous urbanity which characterises his profes-
sion, instantly laid his hand upon the coat-tail of the hind-
most, and the result was a considerable rent in the laced
skirt, and the ignominious detection of the officer. In this
situation the latter judiciously sounded a parley. '6 Well,
my good fellow," said he to his grim Charon, " come on
board, and we'll arrange what you're to have." Nothing
suspecting, the waterman went on deck, but was seized soon
after by a file of marines, and received an uncertain number
of lustily applied lashes, which, we are told, he did not bear
with that amiable spirit of resignation one would have ex-
pected. His companion, artfully seduced on deck by visionary
promises of biscuit and grog, was served in a similar manner,
and after being kept some hours, the two were dismissed to
make their reflections on the incompatibility of possessing
at the same time roguery and a sound back.—Deronport
Journal.

PERILOUS SNOW STORM IN MONTGOMERYSHIRE
--The mail from Gloucester to Abervstwith was in great
peril on Its road at the foot of Plinammon Mountain, on
Tuesday,, the 9th inst. Ott its arrival at Llangwrig, at eight
o clock in the evening, being five hours after time, six horses
were attached to it, and it proceeded with the greatest diffi-
culty for five miles, when the obstructions increased. With
the aid of Mr. Scott, of the Trewythen Arms Inn, Llanidloes,
who happened to be at Llangwrig when the mail
passed, and volunteered to assist, they got it
onward another mile ; further, however, it was
impossible to go, the drift being as high as the top of the
coach; and the road being without fences of any kind, was
totally undiscoverable. Sometime before this the postilion
on the third pair of horses had been put inside the coach, he
being totally benumbed with the intense cold, and his place
on the saddle was taken by a stable boy. In this distress,
it being evident that the coach must be abandoned for the
night, the horses were detached, and the coachman (who for
some time had been unable to drive, and had resigned the
reins to Mr. Scott, who fortunately knew the road well) was
put upon one of them, bet could not retain his seat, and
was so totally helpless that Mr. Scott and the guard had no
alternative but to put him also within the coach, with the
postilion, for the night; whence he was fetched to Dyffrvn
Castle Inn, on the following day, in a deplorable state. Tire
horses were with difficulty taken to Dyffryn Castle, and the
mail bags were taken thence by Mr. Scott and the guard to
Aberystwith, where they arrived at six o'clock in the morn- I
ing of the 10th. The coach was cut out of the drift in the
course of the day. Fortunately there were 110 um' pat!.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Feb. 27.
The Court was engaged all the morning with a trading
case, •' Entwistle v. Dent," t,rising out of a dispute respecting
some mercantile tranactions between the plaintiff and de-
fendant, the representatives of houses in Manchester and
London respectively.
The case, a dry and uninteresting one, was not expected to
close before the rising of the Court.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Feb. 27.
(Sittings at Nisi Prius, before Lord DENMAN and a

special jury.)
TYIE QUEEN V. DUNN.
Immediately after the opening of the court, it was
crowded to excess, and much curiosity was evinced to
see the parties in this celebrated cause. The circum-
stances of the case are too well known to the public to
need recapitulation, and it may be sufficient to say, that
the defendant was indicted for perjury, in swearing that
an order of Miss Burdett Coutts, on the bank of Messrs.
Cutts and Co. for 100,000/., was genuine. The trial
had been removed by ceri4lari from the Old Bailey to
the Court of Queen's Bench, and Sir F. Thosiger, Mr.
Clarkson, and Mr. Hawkins, were retained for the prose-
cution. Mr. Dunn conducted his own defence.
Miss Burdett Gears, who was accompanied by Lord
Sandon, sat upon the bench with the Lord Chief Justice,
and gave her evidence with much calmness and self-pos-
session. Si4e, with Mr. Marjoribanks, Sir Edward An-
trohus, and a clerk in the bank, proved the application
at the hank, as also that no authority bad been given to
Mr. Dunn to draw upon the bank by Miss Coutts.
The several witnesses iaa re cross-examincd by Mr.
Dunn, and the declaration for the writ of certiorari was
read, tha substance of which was, that the defendant
would elsewhere be deprived of a fair trial.

Mr. DUNN then entered upon his defence, and said
that he stood before them in what Sir F. Thesiger had
called a painful positito. He did not take the shield of
weakness of intellect, being in the full possession of his
mental faculties, and with all the meats tOr supporting of
his own cerence He might have employed some legal
advocate to state los case, but, by the oeth which he
was ready to take, he felt assured that the jury would
come to the conclusion that he had not acted with any
fraudulent inttett. It sle eiltl be recollected that he law did
not consider a man guilty of perjury if he made an
assertion in mistake. While a prisoner in the Fleet, at
Miss Burdett Coitus's instance he received a number of
letters sinned A. B. C., to each of which he had sent a
reply and hal in all cases obtained a rejoinder. He
was prepared to prove that these letters had been sent
and replied to with the same signature, and all were
dated from No. 1, Stratton-street, Piccadilly. What
would they, the jury, have done, had they sent letters
and received replies, as he had done, with these signa-
tures acknowledging their letters—would they have at
all hesitated to say that they came from the party by
whom they professed to be signed? He would produce
these letters, and would, by the evidence of his servant,
who had been with him during the four years of his im-
prisonment, show that these signatures were ap
parently genuine. He would prove that the sig-
nature of Angela Burdett Coutts was precisely the same
as that which was affixed to the letters which he had
received. But what would they think when he told them
that the judges who acted with the Noble Lord on the
bench bad unanimously discharged him from custody.
Those letters had been forwarded through the post-
office of this metropolis, and was it to be believed that
they never reached her hands. He would ask them if
Higi Burdett Coitus had received those letters of his, '
whether she had not committed as gross and wanton
a fraud upon him as was ever committed against any
man? If she did receive these letters, why did she not
send some intimation to him of her indisposition to con-
tinue the connexion? Whichever way they might de-
cide, one thing was evident, and that was that some trick
had been played upon him, either by Miss Burdett
Coutts or by some other person, and he thought that if
he bad been guilty of the annoyance to her which
he was represented to have occasioned, the only
thing that could be done, when he offered to retire from
her presence for ever, was to return him the letters
which he had sent to her. But. this had not bet n done,
and the only aim appeared to be to save her pocket from
the payment of the sum of this cheque. The defendant
then put in the articles of the peace sworn by Miss
Burdett Coutts at Harrowgate, in which the circum-
stances well known to the public were detailed. He
then endeavoured to read Mr. Edward Majoribank's
letters, several of which had been written during the
negotiation fcr the delivery of his letters, but the Lord
Chief Justice decided that they were beyond the date of
the present action, as they were all dated as far back as
the year 1838. The defendant then went on to say that
from the hour when his letters were written to the pre-
sent moment, lie had got no denial whatever that
the letters which he had received wt re genuine.
Further, did the jury believe that when he had applied
to Mr. Majoribanks, stating that he had authority from
Miss Burdett Coutts, authorising him to draw a
certain sum from the bank, that that gentleman would
not either have gone or have written to No. 1, S:ratten-
street, to inquire whether this authority had been given
or not. If then he put in these letters, and showed that
the signatures to them were the same as that attached to
the articles of peace' he at least was entitled to a formal
assertion, that the letters which he had received were
net wt.i't "is,e.Burdett Coutts. Why did she not
iv. Ilbeh SD MOW= ?
6r F. TUESIGELL t,i.r.posed with a remark that Miss
Burdett Coutts had oa.red to write such a t assertion,
but had been prevented by him.
Mr. DUNN proceeded to say that there could not be any
reason for the retention of this assertion, but some object
which w..uld prevent the whole truth from coming br•fore
the jury. lie had compared the signatures of the letters
which he had received, with the signatures in the Crown
Court, and believed them to be identical. Further than
that he had evidence to show that the signatures of
these letters was precisely the same as that which had
been affixed to letters addressed to Lord James Stewart.
Lent DENMAN stud that he could not admit such
assertions as these, but the facts might be brought out
in evidence.

Mr. DuNN then went on to say that he had twice
been discharged by Lord Denman, and on the last occa-
sion he had stated, in the presence of his Lord,hip, that.
if Miss Coutts would come forward and say that his
attentions were oppressive to her, he would at once
abstain from any further prosecution of his suit. There
was a character about the handwriting which, however
it might be twisted about, was still indelible, and that
character was evident in the signatures of all the letters
which he had received lie had 'addressed a letter to
Mr. Majoribanks, to state that he had received a letter
from Miss Coutts, authorising him to draw upon the
bank for compensation, and this letter, he thought,
threw a great colour on the case. After a number of
assertions, to the effect, that through the instrumentality
of Miss Coutts, he had been driven from his profession,
and had been deprived both of property and character,
Mr. Dunn read his own communication to Mr. Majori-
hawks, and stated his belief that not only was the autho-
rity to draw genuine, but that an understanding kad
been come to between that gentleman and Miss Coutts,
so that in the event of his drawing for a small sum, it
would be allowed to pass ; while if he drew for a large
sum he would be pulled up. But he had at the same
time written to Miss Coutts herself, and when he acted
upon the letter, he put it into Mr. Majoribanks' hands,
and asked him whether that was Miss Coatts's hand-
writing. When he did so, that gentleman put on his
spectacles, had held it for some time, and then had called
a clerk to state that the writing was not Miss Coutts's.
The very circumstance of this hesitation to his mind was
a convincing proof that the letter was genuine, and he
went away, telling Mr. Majoribanks that he should
act upon the authority. Mr. Dunn then read
the authority, which is written in verse, desiring
him to go to the bank and get compensation for the in-
carceraion which he had suffered. When he had satin
fled himself of the genuineness of this document, he
asked himself what the compensation was to which h
was entitled, and he eame to the conclusion that one year',
income would be an equivalent for lir• sufferir'g
he had endured, and fur this he had given notice to M'.
Marjoribank that he int-nded to straw upon the bank
On his application to Sir Edmund Antrobus he was told
that the authority he pesented was no authority at all,
but upan it he had made the affidavit for which he wen
charged with perjury. When this cause came before
Mr. Ju,tiee Pattes,,n he had made a ,tatem,mt of the
same facts which he kid related to-day. At that titn.
Mr. Bodkin had prayed for time for a r. p,y, and four
ays hail been given, but at the end of that time no
reply had been made. If this letter were not genuine.
why did they withhold the satisfaction to which he was
entitled, and refuse to give him the assurance that the
document was a fabrication. After recapitulating his
arguments, Mr. Dunn called

Sarah Northfloat. who had acted as his servant during
the year 1842, when he was an inmate of the Bench, and
who testified to the receipt of letterA, and the postifig of
letters addressed to Miss Burdett Coutts, when he was
in the Fleet and Queen's Bench prisons.
Miss Turner confirmed this evidence. _ _

David Law, an accountant, testified to an interview be-
tween the defendant and a person of the name of Well.,
but his evidence was objected to, and it was ultimately
postponed.
Nathaniel Wells stated that he had had an interview
with the defendant, and the object of that interview was
to convince him, that from a comparison of the letters
received by him, the letters in the possession of the de-
fendant were not the genuine letters of Miss Coutts, and
he had told him ;that he believed they were not her let-
ters, as he could certify from his knowledge of her hand-
writing.
David Law being recalled, stated that at the interview
between Mr. Dunn, Mr. Wells, and himself, the two
letters addressed to Lord James Stewart were produced
by Wells; and, on examination, it was agreed that there
was a great likeness between the signatures. Wells had
also at that time stated that he would produce those let-
ters in court.
John Smith, postmaster of the Queen's Bench prison,
testified that the post-marks on the letters addressed to
the defendant were genuine.
J. Jonas, clerk of Mr. Clark, of the Central Ciminal
Court, merely testified that an indictimmt hal been pie-
ferred against the defendant.
Mr Dunn then endeavoured to put in the letters in
evidence, but they were declined, and
Sir F. TIIESICER, in reply, said that, never in his life
had he felt greater difficulty to repress his feelings than
on the present occasion. When he opened this case, be
felt it but due to the defendant to suffer the jury to
judge whether he was a person of sufficiently sound
mind to be responsible for his actions, but the result
of this painful inquiry had shown not only ihat he was
a person of sound intellect, but also of considerable in-
genuity, and quite competent to carry out any previ-
ously devised scheme, and who, relying on the indispo-
sition of the proseeutrix to undergo a public ordeal,
expected to escape with impunity from this trial. With
unnecessary cruelty he had put into the hands of Miss
Burdett Coutts the writing of her deceased father, and
in the course of his observations had charged all the
witnesses for the prosecution with deliberate perjury.
When he made the affadarit on the 31st Diarch, 1846,

that Miss Burdett Coutts was indebted to him in the
sum of 100,0004, he had, according to his own
account, held it in his possession since December
1844. $o that according to the defendant's own state
ment he had remained in prison for fourteen or fifteen
months for a debt of 801., which he did not owe, when
he had in his possession a power to immediately relieve
himself of all pecuniary obligations. Then, again, in
the face of all that had passed, when Miss Burdett
Coutts had actually sworn articles of peace against him,
in order to relieve herself from the persecution to which
she was exposed. Mr. Dunn alleged, that acting from
feelings of compunction she had sent him this order. Was
this at all likely, and still further, was it proble that any
lady of position and character should send such a
message as that in the doggerel which had been
produced in Court to day. Sir Frederick then went
through the evidence adduced by the defendant, sht t eg
the inconsistencies which it presented, and remarking
that Mss Burdett Coutts had never written a letter to
him in her life. It was evident from the mode of direct-
ing and ri-ceiving, the letters, that the whole was a coca-
te plan to extort money from Miss Burdett Coutts.
Then :here was considerable ingenuity also in the way in
which the Lffidavit had been framed b) the defendant, IDIS
still it did rit.t waive the actual swearing. The defendant
has said that his object was not to make Miss Burdett
Coutts a bankrupt, but to obtain an equitable considera-
tion of his claim. But this was evidently a part of the
scheme, fi r he made the affidavit that she was indrbtel
to him after he had been told by four
different
individuals that the supposed authority was not
in Miss Comits's hand-wri ing. Still further, it
was evident that the attempt to drag Miss Burdett
Coutts before the Court of Bankruptcy arose from the
same motive, from the terms of the writ of certiorari by
which the case had been moved into this Court. The
Learned Counsel then investigated the assertions of Mr.
Dunn respecting the conduct of Mr. Majorihanks to-
wards him, showing their utter futility, and proving
that every information had been given to him, and that
he had had a formal assurance at the bank that tine
authority was not in Miss Coutts's handwriting; and,
still more, in reply to a letter addressed by Mr. Dnen
to Miss Coutts, her attorney had written to him on the
20th of March, also formally denying that she either
did owe, or ever had owed, him anything; and yet:
.eleven days afterwards, he deliberately goes
the Court of Bankruptcy and makes an Odel
that she is indebted to him in the sum of 100,0001.
After again going through the circumstances, Sir F.
The.iger put it to the Jury to say whether Mr. I.)4De
had made this affidavit with the belief that there was BO
truth in the allegation which it contained. If they could
come to such a conclusion, they would, of course, Solt •
the defendant, but if not, they would discharge O'
duty by finding him guilty.
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE sumed up at considerable
length, and the jury returned a verdict of guilty.
Sir F. THESIGER moved for judgment on the slit?'
count, and the Lord Chief Justice, in passing sentence*
expressed his opinion, that the papers were fabricated tit
the defendant. He then sentenced him to eighteen
months imprisonment, and to find security, at the end
that time, to keep the peace for two years, himself
to
tool., and two securities of 501. each.

This was an action brought to recover the sum of 13,uer
on a scrip transaction in the shares of the Buckingheinshirs
and the Oxford and Bletchley Junction Railway.
It appeared that in the course of last year the defend
advanced money to the plaintiff, a broker, to purchase
Pros
cured in the above railway company. The plaintiff Pis
cured the shares and sold them to the defendant, but it 11,„,
subsequently discovered that the shares so sold were fag':
scrip; the result was, the plaintiff to complete his engsg'st
ment, had to purchase for the defendant 500 good sharesoj
an increased price. The defendant refused to make g
the difference, and the present action was in conseclue,°_„s
brought. 4781. had been paid into court by the defend""
as a satisfaction of the claim.
After the case had been shortly gone into, at the subo

s..chtl Patronage of her Majesty's Postmaster-General," the amplest
'toe cornpletest means were, of course, at, the command of the pro-
hitter, Mr. Kelly, to secure the entire accuracy ot the voluminous
sari (Retested contents of the bulky work. The present Is the forty-

litoOr require particular description ef the reall, important and useful
~aforrrustion, to almost every party in any sort of business, occupying
`o,twe thousand closely but clearly printed octave pages of this Di-
-44'17. Preceded by an admirable and perspicuous Map of London,
Prepared expressly, it is declared, Mr the work, by Mr. IS. R. Davies,
Caere are divisions comprising, among other information, " Official,"
atreet," " Commercial," "Trades," " Law," " Court," " Parlia-
tnentary," "Foetal; "City," "Conveyance," "Ils.nkins," and many
Riser Directories.
The hope is expressed is the preface that this forty-eighth annual
•ditlon of the " Post-office London Directory" may be found "in all
`bipeds to equal the best of its predecessors." From very consider
,e examination of the marvellously full and varied contents and
oitormation on matters which it must be so difflcult, labori. us, and
'attentive to collect, we hesitate not to say, that this unassuming
wish is liberally realised. It not only equals the best of its prede-
'l‘aos ors, but in several particulars it surpasses all its predecessors.
Thu Information is not only fuller in many respects, but there are
auto,• a 1 important alterations and addition', largely adding to the
esorota,ois of the bosk. It is Intimated, and truly, that although all
thate-"e'"'intlas disappeared, the present volume is conspicuous proof
et,there has been no relaxation in the multifarious labours to per-
ces' the extraordinary work. In speaking of past success, it is
ssrerved that it has been, " even in a pecuniary point of view, bent,.
ocial to the public, is proved by the fact that important improve.
menta and additions' are annually made without any increase of

Nothing hut a tremendous sale could make the speculation answer.

DIAMOND CARCEL LAMP ! NEW
LIGHT ! !—The Diamond Light is the best Light in
the World. The Carcel Lamp id used in all the Palaces in Europe.
It burns oil, but is free from all imperfections of ordinary oil lamps ;
burns from sunset till morning without attention. No cleaning
required for years. Is so simple, it cannot be mismanaged It
sever will be outdone. The Diamond Carcel La.np is perfection in

light. The public will have none ether. Designs the most chaste
arid elaborate to suit every taste.—To he had only, and seen daily,
at CLARK'S, the Immense Lamp Eepot, 447, West Strand, te■
doors from Lowther-arcade. Every person's Lamp can be fitted
with the Diamond tinnier. N.B. The pretended Carcel Lamp only
95., (but sold elsewhere at I4s. Gd.) What a delusion!

THE LIGHTS for Fin URE DAYS.
All Call now be pleased, whatever is desired in Light. The
PEARL C 4.NDLE LAMP is the perfection of Candle Lights, and
must succeed ; its simpliety myriads will admire. To sell the ordi-
nary Candle Lantos is now impossible—the public have long enough
been pestered .sigh such rubbish.
The DIAMOND CARCLI. OIL LAMP is the best oil light in the
worbl. The Carcel Lamp is used In all the Palaces in E .rope ; this
is suMcient guarantee for all—it never will be out-done.
The STARLIGHT NIGHT LIGHT is a beautiful little light to
illumine the bedchamber. All other tight lights will be used no
more; its economy and simplicity all will:admire, for what can be
desired more than perfection? To what conclu-ion Cal we come?
Certain, henceforward the only lights will be—the Sun, the mighty
gem of Heaven by day ; the Pearl and Diamond Lights at evening ;
and the Star at eight, to illumine the British territory.
These splendid Lights burning continually at CLARK'S, the
