secutors as their London agent and collecting clerk, at st
salary of 3001. per annum, and that it was his duty to trans-
mit to them at Birmingham whatever moneys he received on
their account as soon as they reached his hands.
Mr. Charles Beach, manager to the Birmingham and Mid-
land Joint-stock Bank, and who also described himself as an
executor under the will of a deceased partner in the prose-
cutor's firm, deposed that after investigating 'the prisoner's
accounts, he had waited upon numerous customers of the
firm, and ascertained that they had paid the latter various
sums of money, to the extent of at least 4501., for which he
had failed to account. 3

For the defence, the prisoner's solicitor handed up to the
bench a written agreement between his client and the prose-
cutors, in which it was stipulated that the prisoner was to
receive 3001. per annum for his services, comprising a com-
mission of 3% per cent. upon all sa'ei he effeotee, and con-
tended thereupon that as his client had a direct interest in
.the business the relative position of master and servant had
not been established.

Mr. BINGHAM, however, was of a contrary opinion, and
considered that sufficient evidence had been adduced to jus-
tify him in detaining the prisoner upon the charge ; but be
had no objection to accept bail, himself in 1,000/., and two
sureties in 500/. each, for his appearance at the neat exami-
nation.

AN TEAGHLACH - HEAG CHA-
RONNACH, OR THE HIGHLAND DWARFS.
Under the extraordinary name o(." An Teaglach Bheag
Charonnach," there is at present exhibiting at: the Cosmo-
rama Rooms, Regent-street, a family of Scottish dwarfs,
consisting of two little men and 'a:little woman. The eldest
of the little men is twenty-three years of age, and 45 inches
high; the next is twenty-two years of age,. and 42 inches
high; and the little lady is eighteen years of age, and about
40 inches high. They are natives of Rozs-shire, and, up to
the month ofJanuary last, were living there with their friends,
and assisting in the management otsi.larm. Mid Mackenzie,
who is now exhibiting them, was travelling in Ross-shire last
winter, and saw, as he imagined, a baskets proceeding oy
itself at a very rapid rate along the high road.:-ale inquired
what was the meaning of the strange appearanc(e, and was
tolchit was "one of the little people." Ultimately he discovered
that there was residing on the estate of Mackenzie, of Apple-
cross, a family of dwarfs, 'children of the same parents, who
have never had any other children, and who themselves are
of ordinary stature. He made arrangements with the party
for bringing them to London for the purpose of exhibition,
and here they are fresh from the Highlands of -Scotland at-
tired in•their national • costume, singing Gaelic songs and
dancing.llighland dances to the national music of the bag-
nth)niptiev,emanedd:uuilmniqd,erstanding not one single word of English, but
te_moversiug with those who do not understand English through

of persons whose intellectual
their fellows, albeit their iinse asso that
that
shorter. They dance their national reels without affecmtaticn,
and with great taste, and the far-famed Highland Sword
Dance is danced by the elder of the brothers in a very
superior style. This dance, which is one of the most cha-
racteristic and at the same time the most elegant
and difficult of the national dances, would tell
well in a theatre, and it would puzzle many a
dancer of high fame to execute it in such admirable
style as this little fellow. Small though he is, his
muscular strength is prodigious. Ile can lift from the ground
a half-hundred weight in each hand, and walk with them with
ease. He is also a good broadsword player, and not the least
interesting part of the exhibition, which, as far as the per-
formances are concerned, may be considered a strictly na-
tional one, is the broadsword play of himself and his brother,
each being armed with "broadsword and targe," selon les regles.
The performance is accompanied by the celebrated piper
Hugh Lindesay, of Inverness, who carried off the prize at
the last competition in that city, in 1845. Her Majesty
having, through the Duchess of Buccleuch, heard of these
dwarfs, was graciously pleased to command their attendance
at Buckingham Palace on Friday week, and so pleased was
her Majesty with their performance that they were honoured
with the royal commands to attend the Palace again on
Thursday evening, when they had the honour of again per-
forming before her Majesty.

ROYAL SOUTH LONDON FLORI-

CULTURAL SOCIETY.
A grand miscellaneous flower show of the above Society
was held at the Royal Surrey Zoological Gardens, on Thurs-
day, and was acknowledged by all parties present to surpass
all previous exhibitions of the kind held in these gardens.
The following are a few of the principal prizes awarded by
the judges :—For the best collection of miscellaneous plants
(orchideous plants excluded), the gold Adelaide medal to.
Mr. Reading, and the large silver Victoria medal to Mr.
Hamp ; for the best collection of miscellaneous plants, not
exceeding 24 (orchideous plants excluded), the gold Ade-
laide medal to Mr. Pamplin ; and for pelargoniums to
Mr. Gaines ; for the best six specimens of orchideous
plants, the large silver Victoria medal to Mr. Reading;
and the extra prizes offered by members (given by James
Copp?ck, Esq., and Mr. E. Denyer), for the best collection
of miscellaneous plants (not to exceed eighteen pots), the
gold Victoria to Mr. Bruce; and for the best collection of
roses, the large silver Adelaide medal to Mr. Kay. The
fruits and vegetables, which were very good, consisted of
strawberries, grapes, and cucumbers, some of which latter
production were the largest ever exhibited. The company,
which was very numerous, in addition to inspecting the
flowers and promenading the gardens, which are in admirableorder, were gratified at dusk with the Eruption of Vesuvius.
This exhibition is now in perfect order, and the best arti-
ficial representation of a great natural convulsion we remem-
ber to have seen. The illusion, from the immense surface of
the painting, the enormous machinery, and the endless (In-
' charge of smoke and fire, is almost inconceivable in its effects.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
TATTERSALL'S.—YESTERDAY. - •
Sir Tatton Sykes, notwithstanding a large sum was laid out on
him on Thursday night, at prices fluctuating between 3 and 4 to 1,
gradcally gave way yesterday afternoon, and, at the close, was
quoted at sto 1, layers, and without any advantage over Tom
Tullock indeed, from the general disposition to lay against one, and
to back the other, it is more than probable that Lord :/daidstone's
horse will be first favourite this afternoon. A strong feeling was
evinced to back Humdrum, the Peri colt, Pyrrhus the First, and
The Conjuror, albeit there is a report that Mr. Osbaldistone, who
has the power to scratch the last-mentioned horse, is not unlikely to
exercise it. The Oaks betting was almost nominal.

EPSOM RACES.—Ladies visiting the race-course, or
otherwise exposed to the scorching rays of the sun, will find "Row-
land's Kalydor" a most refreshing preparation and auxiliary to com-
fort, dispelling the cloud of langour and relaxation from the Dom-
plexion, allaying all heat and irritability, and immediately affording
the pleasing sensation attending restored elasticity of the skin. The
numerous varieties of cutaneous eruptions, sun-burn, deckles, tan,
and discolorations, are pleasingly eradicated by the " Kalydor," and
the skin rendered delicately clear and soil. Its purifying and re-
freshing properties have obtained its exclusive selection by the Court
and the of Great Britain, and those of the Continent
of
Europe, Royal
together Family
with the eleie of the aristocracy, and Haut*
'Wee. Beware of spurious "Kalydors" for sale, composed of the
most deleterious ingredients containing mineral astringents, utterly
ruinous to the complexion, and by their repellent action endangering
health. .it is imperative on purchasers to see that the words
"Rowland's Kalydor" are on the envelope (an engraving of exquisite
beauty, from a steel plate by Messrs. Perkins, Bacon, and Co.) All
others are fraudulent counterfeits!!
