Prince Waldemar, of Prussia, who came to Egypt. by the
last Bombay steamer, took hi, departure for Trieste- by the
blast Austrian steamer, which left on the 27th of Mar.* The
passengers who came from Bombay by the same oppo. rtunity
are loud in their praise of the affability and kindness of the
Prince, who, the evening before he sailed, invited them .41 to
dine with him at the hotel. A very heavy shower of . min
fell in Alexandria on the night of the 27th of May, a .re-
markable occurrence, as it very seldom rains at all in th it
country between the months of March and November.

Mehemet Ali's eldest daughter, Nazlet Hanem, widow of
the late Deftardar Bey, arrived her from Cairo on the 30th
of May, to spend the summer with her father. She hat
taken up her residence at the Pacha's harem, where his
Highness has at present only one wife, the mother of Said
Dacha Mehemet Ali Bey, the Viceroy's youngest and fa-
vourite son, is also here ; be and Said Pacha being the only
two sons his Highness has in Egypt, his other three sons—
Ibrahim Pacha, Houssien Bey, and Haleem Bey—being is
Europe.

The water in the Mahmoudieh Canal and the Nile is vow
so very low, that the directors of the transit are obliged to
resort to various expedients to get the passengers through
the country, and a number of camels, donkies, and mules,
have been sent to different points on the canal to assist in
carrying them on. Mehemet Ali has endeavoured to remedy
this by supplying the Mahmoudieh Canal, by means of a
branch canal, but the latter passes through an estate of Said
Pacha's, the water is all turned off into his own lands, and
the Mahmoudieh remains dry.
The Austrian Consul-General here, who has never been in
good odour with the Viceroy, has recently had some angry
words with his Highness regarding certain monopolies which
are still kept up by him, though be is bound to allow the
trade to be quite free throughout the country. An Austrian
subject having
last winter obtained from the Government a
finnan to buy in the upper country a certain quantity of
gum arabic, which his Highness maintains kis right to as a
111°,101)01Y, brought down a larger quantity than Vas aPas'
cified, and on his arrival at Cairo the surplus was seized by
the Custom-house. On the merchant's application, the Am'-
trian Consul immediately communicated with the Viceroy*
who said that the Custom-house officers had acted on his
orders. The Consul intimated that he would be under the
necessity of seeking redress at Constantinople, to which
Mehemet Ali answered, that after paying his tribute, the
Sublime Porte could command him in nothing. It is gene-
rally believed that his Highness will eventually give up the
gum to the merchant.
The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Precursor

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

(Sittings at Nisi Prins, before Lord DENMAN and a Common
Jury,)
WYLD v. LEAHY AND ANOTHER.
(Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.)
A number of witnesses were called on behalf of the plain-
tiff, who proved that the plans had been altered or delayed,
and the plates altered ; and that the wages paid to the parties
engaged in getting the plans and sections up as it approached
towards the 30th November were from 6 to 10 guineas
a week, and in some instances five shillings an
hour. It was also alleged that a great deal of the
extra expense arose from the conduct of the plaintiffs in not,

Mr. MARTIN replied at some length, maintaining that as the
plaintiff had entered into a contract to execute the work at a
certain price, he was forced to do so, and that the alterations
complained of arose from the incompetency of some work-
men engaged in getting up the plates. He also put in
some documents to'prove the contract, and correspondence,
to show that subsequently the plaintiff admitted the prices
originally agreed upon to be correct for the work he was
executing. The Learned Gentleman denied that" any delay.
such as that complained of, had taken plac,e or that the
defendant's conduct had been the cause of the extra expense
incurred. He submitted, in conclusion, that sufficient had,
been paid to meet all reasonable charge.
Mr. CROWDER replied in reference to the documents.
Lord DENMAN summed up at some length.
The jury, after a short consultation, returned verdict for the
plaintiff 2001., in addition to 31 paid into Court, and 40s. costs.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.
NEW COURT.
BIGAMY.—Joseph Mortimer, indicted on two different
charges of bigamy, and one of larceny, was placed at the bar,
and pleaded not guilty on all.
On the first charge of bigamy, it appeared, by the usual
evidence from the parish register, that the prisoner, in 1839,
married Josephine Langhorue, who was proved to have been
alive in New York on the 25th of March of the present year.
But it was also proved that, on the 7th of June, 1544, he
married Caroline Wright, his first wife, Josephine Mortimer,
being at the time alive.
The prisoner, when called upon for his defence, handed in
a written paper, alleging that according to the law of the
United States, where he had become a citizen, he was le-
gally separated from his wife—both mutually agreeing to
this on the consideration of giving her a power of attorney
to collect certain money for her own support.
The Learned RECORDER, in addressing the jury, said that
the prisoner, a native of Ireland, was a British-born subject,
and whether he had become a citizen in the States of Ame-
rica, or whether anything had been done in the matter of a
divorce by any Court there competent for the purpose, of
which, however, there was not a tittle of evidence before
the jury, he nevertheless still owed allegiance to the British
Crown, and was amenable to British laws.
The jury, after consulting a few minutes, returned a verdict
of Guilty.
The second indictment charged the prisoner with marry-
ing Mary Susanna Lovejoy, at St. Phillip's Church, Liverpool,
his former wife, Mrs. 'Wright, being at the time alive.
Mr. Shutwood, brother-in-law to Mrs. Wright, was led, by
questions put by the prisoner, to make some rather unplea-
sant revelations. He said that the woman had left the pri-
soner in consequence of a theft he had committed on herself,

made off with money belonging to his unhappy wife.
Isabella Kay identified the prisoner as one of the parties
concerned in the marriage with Mary Lovejoy at Liverpool.
The Jury after a short consultation returned a verdict of
Guilty.
The case of larceny, on which the prisoner was further
indicted, has already appeared in all the papers in all those
details so peculiar to the case.
Mrs. Loyer, who lived at 7, Chapel.court, Union-street,
Whitechapel, stated that she advertised for a situation as
cook and housekeeper, and that in consequence she had re-

merchant and his future spouse, who, with a liberality quite
amazing, defrayed all the expenses, and kept Mr. Mortimer
well in pocket. They returned from Paris after a fortnight'S
sojourn there, and took up their residence at the Omnibus
Coffee-house. The poor woman's funds were by, this time far
reduced, for atter one large payment, she had given him an,
other of 271. and and now proceeded to pawn her wearing ap-
parel to keep Mortimer in money. All was pawned, except
a few articles in a box, which

RECORDERry sent the case to the jury, and
told them if they had no doubt that the prisoner had used
stratagem for the purpose of obtaining possession of the box,
which he afterwards carried away, they would find his
guilty of a larceny as set forth in the indictment.
The jury in a short time returned a verdict of Guilty al
indicted.
The Learned REcoanere in pronouncing sentence on the
prisoner, expressed in the strongest terms his detestation of the
unexampled baseness of the prisoner, who, not content with
having bereft the poor woman of all her money, obtained
from her under promise of marriage, had allowed her to
pledge her clothes to supply him with more, and took base
measures to get possession of the few articles of apparel
which remained, and then deserted his victim. He see.
tenced him to transportation for seven years.
The Learned RECORDER reserved sentence on the two
charges of bigamy.

Mr David Pollock (elder brother of the Chief Baron
of the Exchequer) has just received the appointment of Chief Justice
of Bombay, the salary of which is 8,000/. per annum. Mr. Pollock Is
now on circuit, discharging the duties of Commissioner of the Ingig.
vent Debtors' Court, which office he has enjoyed for about two year.,
having received that appointment on the death of the late Mr. Coal.
missioner Bowen. The salary of the Commissioners of the insolvent
Court is 1,500/. a year. Mr. Cooke, the eminent barrister, Prectlida
in the Bankrupt and Insolvent Courts, is generally expected to
the vacancy caused by the removal of Mr. Pollock.
