EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings at Nisi Prins, before the Lord Chief Baron.)
GAYLOR V. MORRIS AND ANOTHER.
Mr. 1-imstrnnEY (who apeeared, with Mr. Charnock,
for plaintiff) stated that this wan an action brought to
recover damages for an assault committed by the de-
fendants, Messrs. H. and J. Morris, who were repre-
sented as sporting men, on the plaintiff, who was the
servant of Mr. Bullet', a surgeon, residing in the City,
on the 7th of July last. On the day in question the
plaintiff was standing with his master's horse end gig in
Chiswell•street, when the defendants, who were driving
through the street, imperiously ordered him to stand
out of the way. This he was unable to do, and the de-
fendants immediately struck the horse, and directly
afterwards the plaintiff himself; threw him on the pave-
ment, and beat him. The ceiendants had given an ad-
dress at Lea I-louse, Brompton, which afterwards turned
out to be a false one.

Witnesses baring been called to confirm this state-
ment,

Mr. WATSON, with whom was Mr. James, proceeded
to address the jury or_ behalf of Mr. Robert Morris, and
stated Mr. John Mims was not in the gig at all that
day, and he should call evidence to show, that although
an assault had certainly been committed, it had been so
provoked as to be quite justifiable. The person who was
in fact driving the dog cart was a Mr. Maughan, who
d►d in truth reside with his lather at Lea House,
Brompton, where Mr. Morris frequently visited.
Mr. JAMES said he ai peared for Mr. John Morris,
and should call the Clerk of Newmarket Race Course to
show that Mr. John Morris was at Newmarket on the
day of the alleged assault.

Mr. Maughan was then called, who stated that he was
driving the dog cart on the 7th of July, and there being
a Lumber of carriages before him, he requested the
Alai. tiff to lead his master's horse forward a little to
enable him to pass. This he sulkily refused to do, and
after several rk quests made in vain he struck the horse
of Mr. Bullen to make it move forward. The plaintiff
immediately seized the head of the defendant's horse,
which was a very spirited animal, and caused it to
plunge and rear. In order to obviate mischief Mr.
Robert Morris got down from the carriage and struck
the plaintiff, to make him release his hold upon the
horse.

Other evidence having been produced to confirm this
statement of the case,
Mr. HUMPHREY replied, and the
Lord CHIEF BARON summed up.
Tie jury returned a verdict fur the plaintiff, damages
b 71., against R. Morris, and for the defendant as regarded
Juhn Morris.

CONFIRMATION OF THE BISHOP
OF CBES rEII.—(THIS DAY.)
This day having been appointed for the confirmation
of the Rev. Dr. John Graham, Master of Christ's Col-
lege, Cambridge, who has been elected Bishop of Chester
in the ro,,m of the Right Rev. John Bird Sumner, D.D.,
promoted to the Archbishopric of Canterbury, a consi-
derable degree of interest was excited.
The Bishopric of Chester being in the province of
York, the confirmation of the election would, under
ordinary circumstances, have taken place in York
Minster, but the Archbishop of York issued his commis-
sicn to the civil authorities for the confirmation, and
requested the Bishops of the province of Canterbury to
assist. in the cunsecration. -

The Commission was directed to Dr. Burnaby, the
Vicar-General; Sir Herbert Jenner Fust, Dean of the
Arches; Sir John Dodson, Dean of the Faculties; the
Right Hon. Stephen Lushington, LL.D., Chancellor of
the diocese of London; and Francis Hart Dyke, Esq.,
her Majesty's Proctor.
The proceedings took place at St. James's Church,
Piccad i 11y.
The Commissioners having taken their seats,
Mr. DyaE, the Registrar, read the license of the
Archbishop of Canterbury, allowing the Archbishop of
York to confirm and consecrate the new Bishop any-
where within the province of Canterbury ; and after-
wards a commission from the Archbishop of York,
whereby he set forth that he had received letters from
the Queen commanding him to confirm the election of
Dr. John Graham to be Bishop and Pastor of the see
of Chester.

Mr. Dyke having concluded, Mr. Townsend, Proctor
for the Dean and Chapter of Hertford, handed in her
Majesty's letters patent and presented Dr. Graham to
be confirmed.

JAMES BARBER, Eq., the Apparitor-General, then
came forward and said :—O, yez I 0, yez ! All manner
of persons who shall object to the confirmation of the
election of the Rev. John Graham, D.D., to be Bishop of
the episcopal see of Chester, are now to come forward
and make their objections in due form of law, and they
shall be heard.

No persons appearing, the Bishop elect took the usual
oaths, and the proceedings then terminated.

NATIONAL ASSEMBLY.
(THIS DAY.)
DISSOLUTION OF THE BODY.

On theassembling of the delegates this morning a
desultory discussion took place with respect to the pre-
sentation of the national memorial.
KYDD said proces'ions did no good, and if the
Assembly determined to have one, he for one should not
attend it.
Air. CARTER said, that go home he must, the state of
his exchequer pre venting him staying longer in London.
Mr. STEVENSON said thenational memorial had proved
a national failure.
The speaker was• called to order, but be maintained
that what he said was perfectly true, upon which con•
siderable confusion arose, and u timately the noise and
uproar became so great that he was obliged to resume
his seat.

Mr. LEACH said there was no use denying the fact that
the Assembly did not represent the Chartist body. Ile
for one was thoroughly disgusted with the proceedings.
Mr. DONOVAN said it was all nonsensical to think of
a procession under present circumstances.
Several other delegates then spoke upon the subject,
and it was ultimately resolved that the presentation of
the memorial should be I,ft with the executive.

THE BREAK-UP.

Mr. WEST moved that the Assembly, at its rising at
one o'clock, should dissolve.

The motion was seconded by Mr. PILLING, who said
if they did not dissolve themselves their constituents
would do so for them.

An amendment was moved by Mr. Sus.w, that the
Assembly should only adjourn for six weeks ; but the
origic,al motion was carried by a large majority.

The stock was totally consumed, and the building gutted.
The cause of the outbreak has been traced to the over

EXTENSIVE FIRE IN BBRMONDSET-STR. EET.—Yes-
terday morning a fire of a most destructive character,
by which no fewer than seven houses were more or less
injured, broke out upon the premises belonging to Mr.
G. Dodgson, a wholesale clothier and salesman, carrying
on business at No, 2, Bermondsey-street, Southwark.
The flames issued from the windows with the greatest
vehemence, and extended completely across the road,
firing the fronts of the opposite houses. Mr. Dodgson
had only taken possession of the place the same day.
and no one was sleeping there that night. The firemen,
by dint of great perseverance, succeeded at length in
getting the flames extinguished, but not until the pre-
mises in which the disaster began were totally destroyed.

ACCIDENT AND Loss 01 LIVE AT SHEFFIELD.--
A RUNAWAY MARE.—An accident occurred at Shef
field on Wednesday morning last, by which Mrs. Mang-
ham, the wife of Mr. Maugham, a draper in that town,
was immediately killed, and by which he received in
juries of which he has since died. Mr. and Mrs.
Maugham and their two daughters were driving in a
phaeton from their residence, "adsley Park, wheigie,nainnnndsst,aihie,
mare in the shafts became restive, and ran away. It
appeared that she was a large mare, and the shafts of
the carriage were much too small for her. In conse-
quence of this they were attended by their man servant;
and, from some cause or other, when they arrived part
of the way down the hill behind the barracks, the horse
started off, and the servant ran to the horse's head and
tried to stop it, but he could not succeed, and was
knocked down : it ran as far as Infirmary-lane, down
the Philadelphia-road, when the carriage struck against
the corner of a house, and threw them all with terrific
violence. out of the carriage, which was smashed to
pieces. The females were taken into the George the

GRAND BALL AT CANINERWELL LUNATIC ASYLUM.
—A ball, upon a scale of splendour, took place on Fri-
day night at the above establishment. An extensive
apartment, decorated with flags, evergreens, and choice
flowers, was set apart on the occasion for the dance, and
at eight o'clock some fifty or sixty male inmates, as well
as several females, all well-dressed, and in the most
cheerful mood, and seemingly regardless of restraint,
were introduced to the room, where at least 140 gentry
of the surrounding neighbourhood, who had bean spe-
cially invited to join in the mazy dance, had already
a,sembled. A quadrille band was in attendance, and at
at an appointed hour, the whole party, including the
inmates, began to step to measured time, and continued
the dance in the most joyful manner, until twelve
o'clock, when the latter withdrew, after bidding "good
night" to the guests who had been invited to meet
them. In the interval of the quadrilles, refreshments
were supplied to the lunatics, who appeared to
enjoy themselves amazingly. They were evidently
under no fear; they were by no means awed by the
presence of their keepers; but on the contrary, exhi
bited an affection for them, which betrayed the kind
and humane treatment they received at their hands.
The owner of this establishment is J. Paul, Esq., whose
judicious management in lunatic cases—by the abolition
of torture of a character to drive men and women mad,
who were really not insane—is deserving of the thanks
of the profession and the country. lie has shown that
mild means wili effect a cure in a by far less time than
the manacle or the strait-waistcoat; but the treatment
altogether is of a very superior character ; good food.
well-ventilated apartments, spacious grounds, where all
sorts of games are practised—these are among the
things to effect a cure, or mitigate the sufferings of the
patient. We wish there were more Camberwell Lunatic
Asylums, in the place of those accursed private esta-
blishments where men and women are incarcerated, and
ultimately brought to the
grave b the avarice of greedy
relations. We forgot to add,y that the devotees at the
shrine of Terpsichore did not
quit the scene until day•
light warned them to depart.
