COURT OF EXCHEQUER.—Feb. 6.

TOOYEY V. BROWN.
Mr. Parry• appeared for the plaintiff, Mr. Whateley for the
defendant.

This was an action in which the plaintiff, a bookseller in
Pall-mall, sought to recover a sum of money for books sup-
plied by him to the son of the defendant, who was a student
of King's College, and preparing for the university in order
to obtain admission into the Church of England.
Mr. PARRY, in opening the case, said that the books were
supplied to the son, a youth of 19 years of age, but who had
been somewhat extravagant in his habits, and who was at
present at sea. The books were taken by the son to the
residence of his father.
Mr. WIIATELEY, on the part of the defendant, contended
that the books supplied for the use of the son were not of
such a nature as were required by him in preparing for the
Church of England. Among the works supplied were those
of Pusey, Newman, Ward, Christie "On the Holy Virgin,"
Carey's Translation of Dante, Romish Missal and Breviary,
and other works of a Catholic tendency.
From the evidence of the Rev. John Brewer, one of the
tutors of King's College Hthtpital, it appeared that several of
the works were not such as he would recommend to be
placed in the hands of a youth preparing for the Church of
England ; and further, that the youth in question, in
consequence of reading such works, and having contracted
habits of intimacy with a Catholic gentleman, had been
induced to leave the Church of England, and go over to
the Romish Church.

The LORD CIIIE; BARON said that in his opinion there
was no evidence to go to the jury of the original liability of
the defendant, or of any authority having been given to the
plaintiff to supply his son with the books in question; he
thought, therefore, that the plaintiff ought to be called.
Plaintiff nonsuited accordingly.
ABSENCE OF COUNSEL.—BAKER V. LACK.

This was an action for a bill of exchange upon 1001. When
the case was called on,
The solicitor for the defendant said that Mr. Corrie was his
counsel, and he would go and fetch him. The counsel, how-
ever, was not forthcoming, and the case was therefore treated
as an undefended cause, and a verdict given for the plaintiff
for the amount sought.
Mr. ARCHBOLD, the counsel for the plaintiff, applied for
speedy e:accution.
The LORD Cluny BARON—I see there is a similar action,
the next in order ; let that be disposed of first.

BAKER, z. E J LACK was then called on.

The Solicitor—My counsel, Mr. Carrie, is not here.
The Loan CHIEF BARON—Then if you have a defence for
your client, you shall be at liberty to call your witnesses.
The Solicitor—My Lord, Mr. Corrie has got the brief and
papers, and I have only a few memoranda with me.
The LORD CHIEF BARON—WeII, you must do the best you
can. If you have your witnesses here they will prove your
defence, if you have any.
Mr. AncrtisoLD—My Lord, there is no defence ; it is idle
to say there is.
The LORD CHIEF BARON—We must see that, Mr. Arch-
bold. Now, let the solicitor call his witnesses.
This was done, and the first witness was a Mr. Pattison,
who said he was the clerk to a Mr. Wilson, the solicitor of a
Mr. Semple, who was the holder of this bill at the time it be-
came due. The present plaintiff was one of the parties
to the bill, and therefore; he and the others were
served with due,notice of its dishonour. The plaintiff even-
tually took it up. He could not say exactly, from recollection,
when the bill had been paid and then handed to the plaintiff.
Mr. Semple was next examinel, and he proved having
ultimately, some time in December, as we understood, re-
ceived the checks for the bill from the present plaintiff.
The solicitor now said that he proposed to prove through
Mr. Wilson, the solicitor to this last witness, that the plain-
tiff was not the holder of the bill at the time he had brought
the action.

Mr. AsCrutorm—No, you can't do—it is a most disgraceful
proceeding—you can't do that.
The LORD CHIEF BARON—Mr. Archbold, I must do justice
in this matter; and when a party is left without his counsel
we ought not to press too severely against a gentleman who is
endeavouring to supply that information which he had in-
structed his counsel to place before the jury.
Mr. ARCHBOLD—But, my Lord, he cannot do it.
The LORD CHIEF BARON—Mr. Archbold, I am here to do
justice, and I must let this gentleman place the jury in pos-
session of the truth of this transaction. There is a plea on
the record which lam bound to try, and I must do it. Has
the solicitor to the last witness subpcenaed Mr. Wilson?
The solicitor replied in the affirmative ; but he is not here,
I find.
The LORD CHIEF BARON—Then call him on his subpcena.
Cornwall Baron Wilson having been called,
The solicitor said that, before Mr. Wilson had gone away
he had said that his clerk would give all the information he
could.

The clerk here said he might be able if he had the books
or the papers, but from recollection he could not.
The SOLICITOR—Here are some of the papers.
Mr. ARCHBOLD—NO, no, Sir; we cannot have that. We
cannot have any of your papers here.
The LORD CHIEF
torteARON—M. Archbold, we must have
the truth, and if then licitor
time it became due thinks proper not to attend to his sub-
poena, we must get it from his clerk, who says that, by re-
ference to the papers, he may be able to give us the real his -
tory of this matter. The jury must know the truth, Mr.
Archbold, if it can be arrived at.
The papers were then handed to Mr. Patteson, the clerk
to Mr. Wilson, who then clearly proved that at the time
the present action was lost the bill was in the possessien of
Wilson, and not in that of the plaintiff, and remained there
some time afterwards.
Mr. AncliboLD then, on behalf of the plaintiff, with great
warmth of manner, animadverted upon the defence which
had been set up on this occasion, the more so as the defen-
dant had admitted the handwriting. But where was Mr
Wilson ? _ _

The LORD CHIEF BARON—That is the question, Mr. Arch-
bold--where is Mr. Wilson? Mr. Wilson thinks proper to
Fo:out of the way when he ought to have been here, and then
it is left to the clerk, who, to his great honour, I say it, has
given us the true history of the matter, although that state-
ment has told against themselves. It is highly creditable to
his branch of the profession that there are some of them who
have some true sense of justice. He has done himself much
honour and credit.
Mr. ARCHBOLD proceeded to contend that the defence was
most disgraceful, and that the plaintiff was, of course, enti-
tled to a verdict.
The LORD CHIEF BARON told the jury that the only mat-
ter for them to consider, was, what was the verdict they
were to return as sensible men, and as men who were
alive to the truth of the case and to their own truth.
The question then was, whether this bill had been in
the hands of Semple, or that of his solicitor, Wilson, at the
time the present action was commenced on the 15th Decem-
ber, that he much regretted that the last case had been dis-
posed of without their having been more time given to

enable the defendant to make his appearance. Now the bill
became due on the 17th of August, and on the 18th the clerk
to Wilson states notice was given of the dishonour to the
plaintiff and the other parties. Everything was admitted by
the defendant except the fact of the presentment and the
notice of the dishonour. All the issues but those, then, must
be found for the plaintiff. But the question really was this:
the defendant said the plaintiff had brought his action too
soon ; that he was not the holder of the bill at the time, and
at a time when be was exposed to an action at the suit of
Semple, the real holder. The counsel for the defendant was
not there, and an indulgence was therefore to be extended to
parties when they were left without their aid, and without
those whom they bad instructed to perform a particular duty.
In such a state of things there ought not to be any dispo-
sition to stifle inquiry into the truth, nor to refuse any sug-
gestion from any, quarter. The solicitor had suggested the
defence, and upon finding that it was necessary, he bad di-
rected Wilson to be called, and then it had appeared, upon
the papers being placed in the hands of his clerk, he was en-
abled—and he repeated he had done himself great honour by
speaking oat the truth—to prove that the plaintiff was not
the holder of the bill when he had commenced the action.
It was
He
clear that that', was the truth of the
matter. He had been perfectly aStonished that the Learned
Counsel should have addressee them, and asked that, in the
face of this fact, they would give a verdict, for his client.
If, however, they thought, as ,reasonable men, after what
they had heard from the clerk. that the bill was in the hands
of the plaintiff, then they would give a verdict for that
party. If they thought that it was, on the other hand, true
that it had at that period been in the hands of Wilson, as
the attorney of Semple, then the defendant would be entitled
to their verdict on that'issue,
The Jury instantly gave a verdict for the defendant.
Mr. ARCEIBOLD applied for speedy execution in the former
case.

The LORD emu' BA.RoN—Certainly not, Mr. Archbold.
The Solicitor said he should move, the Court to set the
verdict in the former case aside.

The LORD CILIEV BARON—Yes, you can if you think pro-
per next term.
.*

The court was in a state of rouch sensation during the
proceedings.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.
OLD COURT.

Alexander M‘Leish was indicted for violently assaulting
Mary Woods, at Camberwell,.on the 26th December, with
the intent to do her spine grievous bodily harm.
Mr. Robinson was retained for the prosecution, and Mr.
Ballantyne defended the prisoner.
Mr. ROBINSON, in opening the case, said the
effects of this assault were so serious that they were nearly
fatal, and in that case the prisoner would have been indicted
for murder. It appeared from the examination before the
magistrate, that on the 26th of December (Boxing-day), the
prisoner, who is a journeyman baker, had received the usual
gratuities from his customers,•and that on his return home,
being in a state.of intoxication; he began to quarrel with his
wife. Mrs. Woods, a lodger in the same house, endeavoured
to pacify him, and with a view to allay his excessive rage
advised Mrs. kneish 'to go to bed. She did so, and Mrs.
Woods, returning to,the sitting room, the prisoner, mistaking
her for his wife, `struck her a violent blow upon the head, by
which the temporal artery was seriously wounded, and her
life was placed in dangeir. ' • -
Mrs. Woods, on being called upon, was absent, and the
Recorder ordered her recognizances to be estreated.

The principal witness being absent,
Mr. King, a' surgeon,. tit Camberwell, was called. He said,
that on the evening of ,the' 26th of December, he was called
in to attend Iris. Woods,' who' was bleeding violently from
the head. He succeeded in stopping the. hemorrhage, but
for several days her life was in great danger.
The inspector oftlieP-diviiion, by whom the prisoner was
taken into custody -stated that he bad confessed that he had
struck Mrs. Woods by mistake.
Mr. BAni....orkYNE said that -no one regretted the conse-
quences of the violence which had been used towards Mrs.
Woods more than the prisoner. himself. It was perfectly true
that he had returned in a state of excitement on the evening of
the day in question, but that excitement arose from a far
different cause than spirituous, liquors. The fact was, the
prisoner at the time was-suffering from a state of ill health,
and his medical attendant had that morning given him a box
containing eight pills; with some saline draughts, one of each
to be taken every day. Instead of following these directions,
he took the whole of the eight pillsat once, and as they con-
tained henbane, he became almost in a state of derangement,
and hence the accident resulted'.

Mr. RODLNSON recalled Mr. King, who stated, that when
before the magistrate, the, prisoner had acknowledged that
he was so drunk at the time the oftnce was committed that
he did not know what he was about.

The REconDEß'Summed up, and the jury returned a verdict
of Guilty, and the prisoner was sentenced to twelve months'
imprisonment, with hard labour. _ _

Edward Abbott, 36, engineer, was indicted for stealing
a watch, value 30/. the property of Joseph Sparkes.
_ _

Mr. Ballantyne ProsecUted, an@ Mr. Mellor defended the
prisoner.
The robbery, it will 'be remembered, was committed in
the Bencher's roonn.of Lincoln's Inn, but as the facts have
been very recently in the' police reports, it will be unneces-
sary to repeat them on this occasion.
The prisoner was. convicted; and sentenced to be tran-
sported for seven• years.
John Meares, 20;- Patrick Sealby,l9, Dennis Sullivan, 18
and James Callaghan,,l7, four well known thieves, were in-
dicted for assaulting Thos. Richards, a police- constable, with
intent to do him some grie,ious' bodily harm, and also with
the intent to prevent 'hint froni apprehending a man named
Meares, the brother of one of the prisoners, who had com-
mitted a felony. • '
Mr. Bodkin and Mr. Clark conducted the prosecution,
which was instituted by the Trba.sury ; Mr. Doane and Mr.
Baldwin defended two of the prisoners.
It appeared that some segar's had been stolen from the
shop of a person named Baker, and upon the officer attempt-
ing to take the thief into'custodS,, he was assailed by the pri-
soners, and a number of other bad characters, and very much
ill-treated. All the prisoners were proved to have taken part
in the assault and the attempted rescue.
They were convicted and sentenced to be transported for
seven years.
Philip Coned!, 23, was convicted of assaulting another con-
stable under the same circumstances above detailed, but as he
was not known to the police, he was only sentenced to twelve
months' impriaonment. •
Francis Oliferel, whcr-*as convicted on Wednesday of the
offence of obtaining :two' 'ialtiatile- brooches from a jeweller
named Linnet,' under the pretehee that he intended to sell
the articles to her Majesty, was brought up for judgment on
Friday, before Mr. Baron Alderson, and sentenced to be trans •
ported for seven year= -'An'intiniation was at the same time
given to the prisoner; that if he' was in a position to make out
any favourable or mitigating Cireumstances, he might apply
to the Secretary of State for a remission of the sentence of
transportation. - • •-," •

NEW- COURT.
Henry Gerhard .and Elizabeth Baker were placed at the
bar, indicted for conspiring to defraud and cheat sundry
persons of their property. •
The case has • already excited a good deal of attention in
public as the detection of a daring and bold system of fraud
practised by what would•appear to be a gang of individuals,
who, in leasing dviellifig-houses- and shops, and fitting them
with goods frotri respectable tradesmen, mutually make each
other referees for credit. '• •
William Burbidge, hatter, 25, •Bridge-street, Southwark,
said the prisoner-Gerhard called on him in November last,
and said he had opened a hat shop at the Triangle, Ken-
nington, and wishedtnpnrchase goods from the witness.
The prisoner referred-hint ton Mr. Maymott, 13, Charles-
street, Northampton-square,- who gave the prisoner a high
character, and goods were'sent to a considerable amount.
Witness having received ono • money, went up to the pri-
soner's shop about the 6th• January, but it was shut up.
Thomas Cotter. Clerk -tia Keene and Son, proved having
sent goods to the prisoner's Shop to the value of 401. 14s. 9d., of
which about only twenty hats
,had been recovered, and four

more at the house of the female prisoner.
Rachael Cohen, 7, Ann• place; Commercial-road, said she
was cousin to the prisoner Gerhard's wife. She knew May-
mott, and said he went also by the name of Walker; and the
female prisoner, Mrs. Baker, was known as Mrs. Bennett.
She had often seen Gerhard, Maymott, and Mrs. Baker to-
gether, and once' she heard Maymott ask Mrs. Gerhard,
whether her husband had sent for any more hats from Bur-
bidge? she said, no, and he shall not send for more. Oh, said
Maymott, he should, for Burbidge is very sweet. A month before
Christmas she heard Gerhard say he'had sold some of the
hats to Levi, and Mrs. Gerhard said they were to have more
hats, and Maymett and Mrs. Bennett were to be references
for which they were to have some of the hats.
T. J. Tasker, altock and collar maker, Great Tower-street,
Borough, said the,prisoner by representations which he made
to him sent him a quantity of goods to his shop in December,
for which he received Maymott's bill at a month; but early
in January witness went to the prisoner's shop, and found it
closed ; he presented the bill for payment at Maymott's house,
Charles-street, but found it also closed.
Other witnesses were called, who gave similar evidence
of being defrauded by the prisoner to sundry amounts.
James Gilmour, broker, Morah-place, said that on the
27th December the prisoner Gerhard sent to his place his
shop-fittings, counter, shelves, &c., which he bought of
him for 41. 4s. ; and there were besides some 20 hat- boxes,
containing hats, which he would not buy.
John Archer, sergeant of the metropolitan police, said be
went to 22, Barclay's-buildings, Holborn, and was refused
admission ; but he broke into the house, anti found the pri-
soner, Mrs. Baker, who attemoted to escape from him, and
found in the same house part of the goods identified by one
of the prosecutors.
The jury, after a short consultation, found both the pri-
soners Guilty, and the Court sentenced Gerhard to imprison-
ment for twelve months, and Mrs. Baker for nine months,
in Westminster Bridewell.

Mons. De Loris was indicted for having obtained eight
sovereigns under false pretences, having represented himself
as Captain Carnegie, alias Count Beaumont.
Mr. Ballantyne and Mr. Carteen prosecuted ; Mr. Clark-
son conducted the defence.

Andrew Smith, engineer, Wellington-place, Commercial-
road, said he became acquainted with the prisoner at a
coffee room in'Coventry-street, in September 1844. The
prisoner called himself Captain Carnegie, of the Royal Engi-
neers, first cousin to the Hon. Captain Carnegie, of the Roy .1
Navy, and first cousin-to the Hon. Fox M aule, and husband
to the Countess of Beadmont. On the 30th November, 1844
(St. Andrew's• day) the dinner for the Scottish Hospital
took place, and witness was requested by the prisoner to get
him a ticket, and a gallery ticket for the Countess, which he
did. At the dinner the prisoner sail he had forgotten his purse
that day, and asked the witness for three sovereigns to give
to the charity, which' witness gave him. After this
witness met the prisoner in Lisle-street on the 2d January,
1845, when he was introduced to the Countess. On this oc-
casion, also, the prisoner had forgotten his purse, and bor-
rowed five sovereigns, that the Countess might go shopping,
which the witness, still giving him credit for the truth of his
representations, gave him. He never got any of it back
again.

-The Hon. Captain Carnegie, R.N., and the Hon. Fox
Malik, were both sworn; and denied any knowledge of the
prisoner ; and a clerk -from the Ordnance Office proved
that there was no Captain Carnegie in the Royal Engineers.
Sergeant Cummings took the prisoner into custody on
Wednesday evening last, and produced letters found in his
lodgings addressed to his wife as Madame De Loris
The jury, after a short consultation, found the prisoner
-
The prisoner was again put on his trial on a second in-
dictment, charging him with obtaining wine and money under
false representations.
It appeared from the evidence that the prisoner, having
seen Mr. Smith addressing a letter to a Monsieur Holche, a
wine merchant; went• off to this Monsieur Holche, and with-
out leave obtained used the name of Mr. Smith, and intro-
duced himself and his lady under their assumed names,
whereby he obtained a -quantity of wine and 301. from M.
Holche.--The prisoner was found Guilty.
Mr. Turner, a jeweller and silversmith, being called, said
the prisoner had obtained plate and- jewels to the amount of
2361., engraved with the coronet of the Countess of Beau-
mont, and the name of Captain Carnegie, and that Mr.
Turner almost in consequence became bankrupt.
The prisoner was sentenced to seven years' transportation.
The prisoner and his countess were then put to the bar
charged with Misdemearrour,•bat -Mr. BALLANTYNE allowed
an acquittal without calling evidence,

STATE OF TRADE.
FOREIGN WOOL TRADE, LEEDS, FEB. 5.--Most de-
scriptions of foreign wool have been in fair demand
during the past week, and late quotations firmly-'sup'
ported.
ENGLISH WOOL MARKET, FEB. s.—The arnottnt.oi
salea,of.combing and clothing wool this week have not
been large, and have been confined to a supply of the
present wants of the manufacturers, whose stocki of the
law material are light. Price.: are stationary at last
wee-k's quotations.
WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET, FEB. s.—The heavi•
ness noted in our last report still hangs over this branch
of trade. The difficulty in buying from the grovel!.
meet present rates here, prevents any pressure on Inv
market, and wool is held at former rates.
LEEDS.—There has been, both on Saturday and Tues-
day, about 'he same quantity of goes:li sold as duringthe
last few weeks, but almost entirely in low qualities,
whilst fine and middle cloths are scarcely inquired for.
Prices are without any alteration, and stocks atoP°S
higher than usual at this season. There have been anavue:
ral of the larger London buyers in the town during...`","
week, but they hay.. purchased very sparingly, andi.
s.
ness has in consequence been dull in the warehouttss
Although the foreign houses are doing less than final
at this period, they are improving, and as corn is ge**-7:
lower in price, the general impression is that the Prnas
pect of trade in woollens is much brighter than it
been for some time. •
n.
BRADF4,ED, THURSDAY, FEB. 4. —There - i

article of considerable consumption in oar figure to for
and we hear from a good quarter that the deman" vd
aroolsaet,
silk is likely to increase much. In low Orleans 'lr,
Cobourgs there is a steady business doing, but at Te
unsatisfactory prices. p
MANCHESTER, THURSDAY EVENING._—We
signs of improvement in price or demand for e'.ool
goods or yarns ; even the recent advance in Live''
has failed to give the trade the least impetus. Thin7cl
must be pronounced as very depressed ; in fact, heY'oll
all previous experience. If sales must be madet it
terms even below the nominal rates of the day'
there is no reasonable sign of an early improvement' tea
LEICESTER.—The same dullness which we rer
last week still prevails. Cotton goods are making
to
order by those who had laid in the material previ°°nce
the late advances. No shipping orders of consequeo
are at present given out. Wools and yarns rem
without alteration.
NOTTINGHAM.—A few buyers have made their sr,
pearance, but have not purchased very freely. fTfoi
thing, coarse plain nets are rather more in request tog
last week. Cloth-work edgings are gradually inWr.g.;ce
in design, and making their way into demand. ythe
of all goods remain steady. The condition °' rsei
stocking trade in this vicinity is certainly not %.e1.719,
and in the cut-up branch is somewhat better.--A4

Row often in London we're met with the cry,

Whose very low prices defy competition.

And their outfits and hosiery stand very high

With the best boots and shoes that have ever deck'd feet ;

In the goods that they sell—" What d'ye buy ? what d'ye buy ?,,

REMARKABLE CASE of RESTORATION.
A striking instance of the power of scientific art to remedy
the defects of nature has lately occurred in the case of a Mr. F. Balls,
a gentleman residing at Wortham, in Norfolk, who, in the year 1842,
on returning from ii arlestone Market to Wei bred, where he then re-
sided, sustained so severe a fall from his horse, as to bring on an ill-
ness of several months' duration, during whirls period his hair con-
tinued to come off, till he became, to use hie own terms, " as perfectly
bald as if his head had been shaved;" and the Rev. J. E. Daniel,
then clergyman of the parish, offered him a wig as a substitute for
his lost hair. Under these circumstances, he was induced to try the
effect of ROWLAND'S MACASSAR OIL, and it is highly gratifying
to add, with the most happy results. As soon as part of a bottle was
used the growth recommenced, and he has now to boast of a very
thick and luxuriant head of hair, which presents this peculiarity,
that, though prior to losing his hair tt evinced no tendency to curl,
the new growth is curly and strong. This fact speaks too strongly
for itself to require observation.—Ball's Messenger.
ROWLAND'S MACASiAIt OIL preserves and reproduces the
Hair ; prevents it from falling off or turning Grey ; Changes Grey
flair to its Original Colour; frees it from Scurf and Dandriff, and
makes it beautifully soft and curly.
Beware of " spurious compounds" under the title of "MA-
CASSAR OIL," some wider the " implied" sanction of Royalty and
he Government Departments, with similar attempts at deception.
ROWLAND'S MACASS kit OIL is sold by the proprietors, at 20,
HATTON-GARDEN LONDON, and all respectable Chemists and
Perfumers.

AN OLD TRICK REPEATED.—The following trick
is as old as the gipsey tricks by which credulous people are
often duped, and only find out the deception after they have
lost their money. On Thursday, the 14th instant, a woman
named Ellen Stevens, ealled at the shop of Mr. Joseph
Sellers, a grocer in the village of St. Blazey. She stated—
of course in a very cautious and secret manner—that she
had some tea and tobacco to sell that was smuggled; he
should have some of it very cheap, but she could not sell
less than 40 or 501ba. A bargain was made, the goods being so
cheap, and she was to come again the next day. She failed
to do so, but appeared on the Saturday, and excused herself
to the shopkeeper by saying that Friday was a wet day, and
the " parties" were gone in another direction with goods ;
the tea and tobacco were, however, now ready, and if he
would go to Par with her, he should have the parcels. After
dark they set out, the shopkeper, his brother, and the
woman, and on arriving at the place, there indeed were the
goods, and a smuggler with them. It appeared thus
far to be all right, but to satisfy the grocer beyond every
doubt and fear, the woman took his hand and put it down
upon one of the parcels, where, the paper being torn, the
grocer could feel and smell some very excellent tobacco.
He had a sack with him, and the .woman proposed that
the parcels should be emptied from her sack into his as li
quickly as possible, for fear the prowling officers of ex-
cise might come and catch them. This was no sooner
said than done, the grocer's brother assisting, and the bag
being thrown across his shoulders, he marched off with it.
The grocer then took the woman to a neighbouring beer-
house to settle accounts with her, and paid her about 71. 13s.
for the smuggled tea and tobacco." He then hastened
home to take care of his prize, but being rather in a
hurry to see the whole extent of his good luck, he opened
one of the parcels the same night, and found the interior
contained nothing but sawdust I Only the top of the

COLBURI'S UNITED SERVICE.
In the present number we have the first of a
series of papers detailing the ° listory of British
Intercourse with Japan.' In fact, it was an English-
man, William Adams, of Gillingham, near Rochester,
who first piloted the Dutch to Japan, where, through
the intrigues of the Portuguese Jesuits, the crew of
the vessel were imprisoned, and their goods confis-
cated, until by the tact and prudence of Adams they
Ire all liberated and their goods and ship restored.
Adams himself became so great a favourite at the
Court of Jeddo that the Emperor retained him near
his person to instruct himself and his subjects in
geometry, astronomy, and navigation ; induced him
to build two ships for him according to the European
method; created him a noble, and settled a large estate
on him ; and sent him in command of a fleet to
Siam, on his return from whence he directed
him to write letters to England, inviting his
countrymen to come and trade with the Japanese.
It was through the interest of Adams, and through
his interest only, that the Dutch were permitted to
remain in Japan, or to send vessels there to trade ;
and yet in the Moniteur Orientale—a publication
making its appearance regularly at Hague, under
the patronage of the Dutch Government—although
the history of this first expedition, which sailed
from Rotterdam in 1588, is minutely given, all allu-
sion to William Adams; the Englishman, is care-
fully avoided, and from the beginning to the end
of the history his name is not once mentioned. In
consequence of the receipt of the letters of
Adams, Captain John ' Ssris, an Englishman,
undertook an expedition to Japan, and arrived
at Firando on the 11th of June, 1613. He
was exceedingly well-received by the King, per-
mitted to purchase a factory, .to land his Pato, and'
to trade. The Japanese towed his ship into the
harbour, and, according to his own statement, " they
anchored before Firando, in five fathoms oozy ground,
so near to the shore that they could talk to the people
in their houses." This account proves how absurd it
is to rely upon the modern Dutch accounts of
Japan :
" For they maintain that every harbour of that country
is so shallow as necessarily to exclude all but small ves-
sels ; whereas we find, from Captain Saris's experience,
that in the harbour of Firando, which is very tar from
beingithe best in the country, a line of-battle ship may
cast anchor within pistol shot of the shore. But our
neighbours have carried their misrepresentations much
farther than this, since they have been at the pains to
construct false charts of the Japanese coast and publish
them, in order to mislead and wreck their rivals ; an act
of atrocity of which there are few parallels."
With the arrival of Captain Saris at Firando the pre-
sent article concludes. The " History of the Sikhs
and the Punjaub is continued to the eve of the battle
of Moodkee ; and our old friend Colonel Firebrace has
an admirable paper on the absurdity of promotion by
purchase. We are glad to see that the editor has
taken Colonel Mitchell to task for the " extraordinary
whimsicality and obliquity of judgment" which he
has manifested in his history of Napoleon's Military
Life. This article is to be concluded in the next
number. There are a great variety of other inte-
resting paper on professional subjects in this number
of the United Service.

COMIC HISTORY OF ENGLAND. No. VIII.
By Gilbert Abbot A'Beekett.
This is certainly the strangest History of England
ever composed, but it is no less true than strange, and
exposes the errors of other historians, after the most
facetious yet the most convincing fashion. It will be
recollected that all the historians agree that Henry
the Fifth, when he set out on his Agincourt cam-
paign, left Southampton for Harfleur with one thou-
sand vessels. On this Mr. A'Beckett says,
" We must request the reader to bear in mind, that
though all the authorities justify us in announcing one
thousand as the number of the ships constituting Henry's
fleet, we should not advise any one to believe the state-
ment, who has not had an opportunity of counting the
vessels. Either the ships in those days were very small,
or Southampton harbour has been fearfully contracted by
the contractors who have since undertaaken to widen it.
We have been accustomed to place implicit faith in the
rule of arithmetic, that a thousand into one won't go!'
nor do we feel disposed to alter our impression in favour
of a thousand of Henry's ships being able to go into
Southampton harbour. We suspect that a hundred would
have been nearer the mark, for posterity is greatly in the
habit of putting on an 0, and really believing there is
nothing in it."
However humourous this may appear, there is no
doubt much soundness in Mr. A'Brokett's obser-
vation. History can only be properly studied under
the influence of a judicious scepticism. His account
of the doings of Joan Arc is admirable. His theory
of her inspiration is quite as good as any that has
been propounded, and infinitely more probable.

VANITY FAIR. No. 11. By W. M. Thackeray.
In this number all Miss Rebecca Sharp's hopes of
becoming Mrs. Joseph Sedley are blasted. The party
go to Vauxhkll, where Mr. Joseph gets so uproariously
drunk upon rack punch, just as he is on the point of
" popping the question," that he is obliged to be
taken home and put to bed. The next morning he is
so ill and so ashamed, that he dares not meet Miss
Sharp, but writes a note, requesting his sister to
apologise for his conduct, and announcing his intens
-
tion of setting off to Scotland for the recovery of hi
health. Miss Rebecca consequently proceeds to Sir
Pitt Crawley in the capacity of governess. We are in •

dramatise effectively. Se married his first wife by
mistake. A regular fortune-hunter, he bribed a

widow, a Mrs. Deleau. Disgusted with his impru-
dence Mrs. Deleau caused another woman without a

Heraud, we extract the following curious state-
ment :

" A singular instance has just occurred, showing the
increasing influence of Lloyd's. Captain Grover, who
has directed his attention to the short-comings of the
Foreign Office, after having corresponded with Lord
Aberdeen, in relation to the case of the crews of the
ships Margaret and Conner, who were murdered or im-
prisoned by the .floors, while, a year and a half ago, in
search of guano on the coast of Argum, an island in lat.
20 deg. 27 min. N., and long. 16 deg. 37 min, W., but a
few days' sail from Plymouth; and having received un-
satisfactory answers to his inquiry, bethought of apply-
ing to the committee of Lloyd's. A copy of his applica-
tion now lies before us. Government having failed in
procuring the rescue of the captives. Captain Grover
proposed that the committee of Lloyd's should provide,
witlttuf, delay, an armed steamer for the purpose, com-
manded by Captain Northwood, and dispatched at the
same time a copy of his proposal to Lord Aberdeen. This
course of proceeding was at once respected by his Lord-
ship, who lost no time in writing to the mother of one of
the sufferers, stating that Government would take steps
for their deliverance, and the punishment of their captors.
Captain Grover according suppressed the appeal he was
about to make to the merchants of London, Liverpool,
and Bristol. The unfortunate men, after being in cap-
tivity about twelve months, owed at last their liberation
to the kind exertions of the master of a merchant vessel,
Captain Isemonger. It was thus granted to the spirit of
commerce, rather than to that of Government, to vindi-
cate the honour of the country. Repeated instances of
similar abandonment must tend to stimulate the same
spirit to yet further exertions, while Captain Gover's ap-
plication suggests an extension of its authority and influ-
ence, which cannot fail of being beneficial in some high
places of the state."
The Mirror contains several other excellent arti-
cles. Indeed, all the papers in the present number
are of more than average merit.

ALARMING ILLNESS OF SIR JOHN GLADSTONE,
BART.—We are informed that accounts have bean received
from Scotland which conveyed intelligence of the serious ill.
ness of Sir John Gladstone Bart., at Fasque, the venerable
baronet's seat, in Kincardineshire. We learn that a few
weeks back Sir John was seized with an attack of paralysis,
and was recovering, when on Monday last he was enabled to
take carriage exercise. On the following day (Tuesday) he
experienced another paralytic stroke more serious than the
previous attack, and it is now feared that he will be unable
to sustain the severity of the relapse. The Right Hon. W.
E. Gladstone and the other members of the respected.
Baronet's family have been summoned to Fasque by the dan-
gerous indisposition of their venerated father.
