QUEEN'S BENCH.--(THIS RAY')
(Sittings in Banco.)
WODSWORTH V. THE QUEEN OF SPAIN.
This was a rule to show cause why a prohibition 5100,
not issue to the Lord Mayor's Court in the city of J,013 o
in respect of a suit for an attachment on certain Inelte'l
belonging to the Queen of Spain, in satisfaction of a di"'of
10,0001. alleged to be due by her to the plaintiff.
Mr. HOGGINS appeared on the part of the petitioner to
show cause against the rule.
Mr. R. GURNEY, who appeared on behalf of the eorparittical
of the city, said he onlyattended in compliance with the
tbo
rules of the court, as they had no personal interest in
matter, they being only desirous that the custom of forolo"
attachments in the city might not be interfered with. ,ho
Mr. M. CHAMBERS intimated that he appeared forizi
garnishees, or third parties, in whose hands the m0r039,..m0
been placed in consequence of the attachment, and ou'°'
necessary, for the Queen of Spain.
Wed
Mr. HoGGnss, in showing cause against the rule, s of
that the plaintiff, Mr. Wodsworth, became the purcbtastr
certain Spanish bonds in 1834, and had continued 1O
them up to the present time. For one or two years alter ,
bonds were issued interest was paid upon them, but tho2r
ni.
rears of interest now remaining unpaid amounted to 10P;„,
In order to recover this sum the plaintiff had entered
tachment in the Lord Mayor's Court on moneys in P°7;
sion of the Queen of Spain's agents in the City, and the Ph.e,
sent rule for a prohibition on the ground of want of juries
tion was obtained by his Learned Friend Mr. Montssi
Chambers. The Learned Counsel adverted at consileillw,
length to the privileges and practice of that Court, and to orfo
veral precedents, and contended that though the Quoen:.
Spain was a foreign potentate, the fact of the bonds bel;
,
made payable at London made the cause of action arise,
„
the City, and gave the Court jurisdiction in respect off it. v:
this and other grounds he maintained that the rule ought .be discharged.
Mr. WELSBY was heard on the same side.
The case was likely to occupy their Lordships the
whole day.

THE GREAT EXHIBITION.
The building yesterday was thronged with visitors 111_.„,.111'
the hour of opening till the gongs sounded at half-pot
in the evening. Some additional attractions were diriplaY°.7,
to public view in the southern galleries, including a efleraill
counter of printed fabrics of all kinds, artistically grourf
Towards the eastern end of this gallery a huge stand, Lau-
destly veiled with green cloth, hiding painfully accurate 110_,„1".
tomical specimens in wax, excited general curiosity. :Ted
this the figure of a man, with a broken leg, scientificsw
strapped, was remarkable ; and a little further on, a mau:•
busily employed throughout the day blowing a pair of be
lows, to fill the sails of some model vessels, rigged with re'
volving masts.
Late in the afternoon Prince Albert, attended by Vara' or
four gentlemen, inspected some of the British compartment.'
In the British machinery department, crowds surrounded Ar
plegarth's printing machine, which was working vigorousiff
and with great noise. It is, perhaps, well, at this point, ‘4l,
caution the authorities as to the danger incurred by havio,
only slight ropes round working machines. It is by
means a pleasant sight to see thousands of people crowd 4
between revolving wheels, steam saws, &c., only roped off 14
the frailest cordage. We are glad to find that the authori-
ties have issued a notice in the building informing the pot
lic as to the place where they may deposit any articles thq
may find, or recover any they may lose, during their visit"'
Visitors should also bear in mind that there is one entranoo
to the building exclusively devoted to pedestrians, and that
by entering at this end they may avoid the unpleasant e‘P*
citement of scrambling between rows of carriages, and =dor.
the noses of restive horses. The public may also be reminded
that on Saturdays the building is not accessible to visitor',
before noon.

RELIGIOUS TRACT SOCIETY.—The anniversary,
meeting of this institution took place in Exeter-hall last,
night; John Henderson, Esq., of Glasgow, in the chair.
After a few brief observations from the chairman, the Se'
cretary read the report, from which it appeared, that while
the circulation of the society's tracts at this establishment
its
1799, was only 200,000, and its receipts 4601., its prevent
cif
culation was so extensive as to produce, during the last
year, a revenue of 62,000 i. The total circulation of tracts,
since the foundation of the society, was 549,000,000, and
many of those tracts had been published in upwards of one
hundred and ten different languages. The society had beers
instrumental in establishing 712 libraries during the yreae;
making a grand total since the commencement of the society
of 60,733. The report was received with great approbeation,
and unanimously adopted. Resolutions in support of the
objects of the institution having been moved, seconded, and
adopted, the meeting broke up.

Messrs. Dowson, the extensive timber merchants of Prince's-
wharf, Lambeth. In granting a four days' leave of absence
to each of their twenty employes, for the purpose of visiting
the Great Exhibition, the heads of the firm have, in a hand-
some manner, disbursed amongst them the sum of fifty pounds,
to meet, not merely the payment of the admission motley,
but the expenses incidental upon a rational enjoyment of the
accorded days of recreation. The value of a kindness is exi-
hanced when thus gracefully conferred, and we trust this
seasonable example will not be without its imitators.
HARWICH ELECTION COMMITTEE.--Yesterday
this Committee resumed their scrutiny of votes. The com-
mittee decided that they would not insist upon Sir Walter
Riddell, the revising barrister, giving reasons either for his
allowance or disallowance of votes, but that they would re-
ceive any evidence other than that of the revising barrister
thereon. After considerable discussion, the committee de-
termined on'allowing the votes of Mr. J. G. Cobbold, M.P.,
and his father, Mr. John Cobbold, which were objected to
on the ground of non-continuous residence. The vote or
Mr. E. Lawrence, solicitor, of Ipswich and Harwich, im-
pugned on the ground of non-continuous residence, was also
allowed. The vote of Mr. John Attwood, in respect of an
estate near Harwich, and objected to on the ground of non-
residence, was next taken. Mr. J. Baker gave evidence orx
the point of non-residence, and complained that the notices
of votes objected to at Harwich were stuck so high up in-
side the church door ,that it was next to impossible to read.

created considerable merriment by admitting that, as re-
garded himself, he could hardly read at all. The com-
mittee, at four o'clock, adjourned to this day. Of eight votes
out of twenty-three already gone into one only, an unde-
fended one, has been established or struck off.
