BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

THOMPSON V. CAMPBELL.
Mr. MILLAR stated the case. The defendant, an old
lady, occupied certain premises in Walbeck-street from thl
plaintiff, under an unstamped agreement, for three year*
with a clause permitting her to continue in possessiod
after that term if she pleased, giving three months' notice
to quit. The defendant continued in possession for a shoe!
period after the three years, and then gave three months
notice to quit. The Learned Gentleman contended tbatt,
at the expiration of the three years, the defendant had
become a yearly tenant, and was entitled to pay a year's
rent, or, at least, she should have given notice for the end
of the year.

After some witnesses had been examined, Mr. PoLLoe‘
addressed the Jury for the defendants. He would prove
that the plaintiff had received the premises from the de'
rendant in good faith, in pursuance of a notice served
upon him, and that Le had permitted her to go out 0
pos-e.sion,

Witnesses were then called, who deposed to these fact',
and the Court observed that there was a sufficient answer
to the case set up by Mr. Millar,
The plaintiff was nonsuited, and the Court observed
that it was an action which should never bare bee!
brought.

cover the value of a small quantity of goods left in tl
deferalint'.: possession, which be had refused to deliver tt
The CounT, upon looking at the record, said the

received possession in trust, nor had he ever promised 1

under the fiat of Bankruptcy awarded against Mr. Da;
vidge, the late proprietor of the Coburg Theatre, was bell
before Mr. Commissioner WILLIAMS.
Mr. Davidge attended to pass his last examination, and
after some debts had been proved, he was highly compli'
minted by the Learned Commissioner for the manner ill
which he had kept his books of account, showing for every
week a profit and loss on his speculations.
The debts owing by Mr. Davidge amounted to between
700/. and 800/., and be expected that his property would
realize a handsome dividend.

Mr. Carter, the proprietor of the Rotunda in the Black'
friar's-road, wished to state that he was not the part,:
alluded to as the only creditor hostile to Mr. Davidge°
interests. He had been much annoyed on the subject'

have assumed an appearance of respectability.
Mr. Davidge said he did not wish to divulge the nacos
of the person who had pursued him with vindictive feeling!'
Mr. Commissioner WILLIAMS said it was very manly 0
Mr. Carter coming forward, anti the manner in which
Mr. Davidge had acted. His books were a credit to MO
and he only regretted that mercantile men did not adopt
his course. •

MR. INCLEDON'S CONCERT.—On Wednes'
day evening Mr. C. lacledon gave a Concert at the Citi
of London Tavern, the main object of which was to in'
troduce to the notice of the public, for the first time, bit
son, a youth of about twelve years of age; and cettainlft
from that specimen of his performances, we should sag
that the very favourable rumours of his vocal talent*
as displayed before many fashionable private parties, wet!
most fully confirmed. His voice is remarkably sweet and
melodious, and we doubt not that in a short time be will
become an acquisition to our list of native vocalists. The
duet " Ob, Poland ! my country," by him and his father,
it,vi anis

was of
enthusiastically

encored. a
Alto', " i
b
gether his reception was of a flattering description. Mr'
Broadhurst's " Through life as I've passed" was also encored;
as was Miss Betts in two songs, "The Deep, Deep Sea," and
" Cease your Funning." A variety of other songs, duets,
and glees, were sung by Messrs. Hawes, Fitzwilliarot,
Hobbs, E. Taylor, and Mrs. G. Wood, and the who'e 0'
the entertainments appeared to give great satisfaction to
very crowded and fashionable audience. The arrange'
ments were under the able superintendence of Sir George
Smart, who presided at the pianoforte.

It is said that Captain Johnstone, the indivi'
dual once known all over Europe as "Johnstone, the smug'
tiler" but now a pensioner upon the Government with the
rank of post-captain in the British navy, has made a pro'
posal to the Pacha of Egypt to enter his service, and
employ in it, if necessary, his extraordinary sub.marioe
vessel, by which lie is enabled to navigate under water'
and to affix to the bottoms of ships a torpedo, which
explodes at a certain time, regulated by machinery, earl'
ing entire destruction before it. The vessel in which the
torpedo is conveyed, contains sufficient air for the use of s 4
men during a period of six hours, and is moved with
perfect ease from spot to spot. As there is nothing to
indicate the approach of the vessel, it is impossible to guard
against it. The captain says, that in a fortnight he could
destroy the wholenavy of Russia. The torpedo appear°
to be on a simihir principle to the infernal machine witb
which the life of Napoleon was attempted. He was lateli
in treaty with the D Itch Government for the use of the
vessel and his own services, and two or three torpedoes
were supplied; but the treaty went off in consequence
of some al isunderstauding as to terms.
