JIVES OF THE QUEENS OF ENGLAND
By AGNES STRICKLAND

Dedicated by Express Permission to her Majesty.
A :NEW, REVISED, and MUCH AUGMENTED EDITION,
EMBELLISHED WITH PORTRAITS OF EVERY QUEEN,

Beautifully Engraved from Authentic -ources.
N.B. The First Volume Rill contain the Lives and Portraits of
Thirteen Queens, and a fine Portrait of the Author.
In announcing the new and much augmented edition of this im-
ooftant and interesting work, which has been considered unique in
biographical literature, the publishers beg to direct attention to the
following* extract from the preface:—" A Revised Edition of the
' Lives of the Queens of England.' embpdying the important collec-
tions which have been brought to light since the appearance of ear-
lier impressions, is now offered to the world, embellished with Por-
traits of every Queen, from authentic and properly verified sources.
The series, commencing with the Consort of William the Conqueror,
comprises thirty Queens who have worn the crown matrimonial, and
four the regal diadem of this realm. We have related the parentage
of every Queen, described her education, traced the influence of fa-
mily connexions and national habits on her conduct, both public and
private, and given a concise outline of the domestic as well as the
general history of her times, and its effects on her character, and we
have done so with singleness of heart, unbiassed by selfish interests
or narrow views. Such as they were in life we have endeavoured
to portray them, both in good and ill, without regard to any other
consideration than the development of the nets. Their sayings, their
doings, their manners, their costume, will be found faithfully chro-
nicled in this work, which also includes the most Interesting of their
letters."

MINCE ALBERT'S MODEL COTTAGES,

-11 One practical lesson is worth a volume of description, or a
whole library of theories. Prince Albert had his own notion of
the comforts to be secured in the plan of a cottage, and took the
opportunity which was afforded by the World's Exhibition, to re-
duce to practice what was uppermost in his mind, by actually
building specimens in the Park, and it is not too much to say,
that •his Royal Highness's Model Cottages are among the most
interesting of the many exampiess of British industry and of
design. Talking and writing about novelties in art or science
are very well in their way, but exhibiting the work ready done
brings a thing home to common sense. It was this considera-
tion that induced Messrs. E. MOSES and SON to keep on hand
THOUSANDS of NOVELTIES in DRESS ; they might have in-
formed the public that they procured the first artist in Europe,
hundreds of the best workmen in the world, and that they would
make any quantity of clothing in the first style of elegance and
novelty in an incredibly short time ; but it was far better to make
them, and show what they could do, than to talk or write about it ;
let any one walk through their stow rooms and see thousands of the
newest fashions in every variety of costume, all marked with prices
so low that none would believe without seeing them, and thousands ,1
of visitors who go there daily confess the fact, hundreds who go de-
termined to be measured for something to try their clothing, see the
superiority of everything, and buy at once from their enormous
stock. In fact there is no differerce between the stock always kept
up in every department, and articles made to measure, the only dif-
ference in the prices is, the charge for making a single article where
things are usually given out in hundreds. It would be worth any
person's while to visit the gigantic Mart is Aldgate, or the West-end
Branch in New Oxford-street, to examine the material, the style,
the workmanship, and the beautiful cut of all their clothes; it would
be seen at once that, for price and quality, there is nothing approach-
ing them, for everything is charged but a trifle over half the price of
all ordinary tailors. The great Mart is considered in attraction as
second to the Crystal Palace, and there are specimens of embroi-
dered dress at the Mart far superior to anything in the World's
Great Show.

A handsome Almanac, for the year 1851, can be had gratis, on

application.

HER MAJESTY'S VISIT TO THE CITY.
The old spires of London have witnessed many gorgeous, pa-
geants, many royal
" "progresses," and many manifestatiors of
citizen loyalty;" the ancient elliptic arch of Temple-bar has un-
folded its massive gates to the admission of many sovereigns and
many cavalcades ; the ample area of Guildhall has bean the scene of
banquetings, sumptuous and dazzling in the extreme ; the window.
sills and balconies of the old houses in the commercial thoroughfares
of the great capital have been crowded by spectators of many impos-
ing processions ; and the glad-pealing bells of the old churches have
hailed many occasions of civic and royal festivity; yet the event
which is announced to take place in commemoration of the Great
Exhibition will he one which will bear comparison with any previous
demonstration.

The splendour attendant on the Queen's first visit to the City of
London will be vied with in the forthcoming event ; and London is
again to become a scene transcendently magnificent. '
While this is to take place in the,City, the event is of a "Ptationar
character ; and every Englishman will be expected to his duty of
loyalty on so great an occasion. Such an event will, no dOubt, im-
part an impetus to trade, and be attended with general restlts.of the
most satisfactory c aracter.
For sach an occasion who would not assume a respectful and re-
spectable change of dress?

This will be Ono of the distinguishing characteristics of the occa-
sion ; and llyani and Co. have met the requirements of the event
with the'r wonted promptitude of preparation. A revision of fashion
(so to speak) has taken place with hfyam and Co.; and the result
is a display of novelties never before furnished.
The beauty of Hyam and Co.'s attire is apparent not only in gen-
tlemen's dress, but likewise in habiliments for the young ; and as
the occasion of her Majesty's visit will be celebrated during the Mid-
summer vacation, the proprietors would impress upon parents and
guardians the advisability of makiug selections from :heir Establish-
ment, where nothing Is displayed that will not add an extraordinary
embellishment to the scene of her Majesty's visit.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, June 19.
(Nisi Prius Sittings for Middlesex, befor3 Mr. Justice
TALEOTIRD.)
COOPER V. ELEATIIWAITE.
This was an ection for debt and detinue upon a bill of
-xchange for 551. 10f., but it being admitted that 501
109. had been paid on the bill, the action in reality was
for 5/. only.
Mr. Sergeant C. Jones and Mr. H. Giffard were
counsel for the plaintiff, and Mr. Sergeant Byles and
Mr. Hawkins for the defendant.

The plaintiff is an attorney at Symond's Inn, Chan-
cery-lane; the defendant a cheesemonger in New street,
Cuvern-garden. In July, 1850, the defendant applicd
to the plaintiff, by &clerk of the plaintiff, named Leviens,
to discount the bill in question for him. Leeiena' name
is on plaintiff's chamber-door, and he carries on business
there as a collector of rents, &0., on his own
account; plaintiff has also a eopying clerk named
Gibbard. According to Leviens' evidence, the
plaintiff having given him the discount for the
bill, be took it to the defendant, and proposed
to him that as he had obtained the discount for
him, that defendant should discount a bill for lot. drawn
by himself on his mother-in-law, and that the defendant
consented to do so; the transaction being entirely be-
tween themselves, and without the plantift's knowledge.
When the plaintiff's till became due, the defendant
and a friend went to the plaintiff's office, and the
friend staying outside the defendant went in to take up
the bill. According to Gibbard's evidence the defend-
ant having told him his business, he went and fetched
the bill from the plaintiff and gave.it to the defendant,
who put down five IN. notes and half a sovereign, and
left the office. Gibbard took the money to the plaintiff,
who discovered that enough had not been paid by 51.,
and immediately sent Gibbard after the defendant. Gib-
bard said he overtook the defendant in Great Russell-
street, and told him of the mistake, and that the defend-
tnt said, "Let Leviens bring 51. to take up his bill, and
give the other 5/. to Cooper;" and refused either to re-
turn the bill or pay the Al. remaining due upon it. The
defence was that the defendant had paid Gibbard the
whole amount of the bill, and Gibbard and Leviens were
cross-examined with severity as to this point and as to
general history and character. The defendant's friend—
an assistant cheesemonger, !Wiled HtirtoneesiVaa also
called, and swore positively that he walked home with
,he defendant after the bill was
paid, and that neither
Gibbard nor any other person accosted the defendant or
spoke to himabout any deficiency in the payment.
Mr. Justice TAL*oIIRD spmmed up the eeideneV, and
The jury, after retiring for some time, returned a ver-
dict for the defendant.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER, June 19.
(Sittings at Prins, before the tolii) (THIEF' llattcrta)
bINEB V. Lau.
Mr. Watson and Mr. Hawkins ap.peated for the plain-
tiff; the Attorney-General and Mr. biirchatii for• the
defendant.
This was an action for libel, brought by the plaintiff,
who is a veterinpr* snrizoon At.Betifoad, against the de-
fendant, the editor of the Bedford Mercury, for an
article which appeared in his paper under the following
eircumstiancesi—ln the town of Bedford there e±ists
charitable fund of considerable amount, derived from
pr.perty
left some
Centuries ago an alderman of tt.e
cityl of London of the namb
,of.
,Parer: Of this fund,
too per antAttht la distriouted directly in gifts to poor
and deca3 ed housekeepers of Belford, to the number of
about 400. TWO parties arose in Bedford who differed as
to the best matinbr of applying the reniainJer of the in-
come, some thinking that it would be best employed in
providing more extended education for the children of
.he poor—others desiring that it slibtaid Ee given di-
rectly in arms to the needy inhabitants. From some
cause or other which did not appear, the matters relating
to this 6110.4 becathe the subject of a suit in Chancery',
to vellich the Attorney-General, the master and wardens
of a college at Oxford (who bad the appointment of a
schoolmaster to ,ho charity), and the trustees were por-
tico The plaintiff and one Mr. Merry, who belonged to
Cho party who advpcat, (.1 the giving away the whole
t'und in aless, presented a petition to the Lord Chancel-
lor, praying to Lb admitted as parties to the suit, on be-
half of the recipients of the chatlity, and to attend the
ir quiry before the Master, as to how far the proposed
Bill would be advantageous to the charity. This peti-
tion was diamivsed) and the applicants were advised to
pay the costs of the parties opposing, amounting to
431. 6e. Si. Upon this Mr. Merry and one of the reci-
pients, named Haden, went round to the other persons
receiving the annual distribution, and procured from
them, or from their wives, a consent to the application of
a portion of the funds to the payment of the plaintiff's
and Mr. Merry'a costs, representing to them that when
the business was s:tdcd the distribution would be in-
creased, or rather resumed, as it had been in arrears for
two years. At a meeting of the trustees, it was pro-
posed and voted that the costs of plaintiff and Merry,
in all amounting to 1001. 2s. 7d., should be paid in con-
formity with this so-called authority of the recipients.
The 100/. 2s. 7d. was accordingly paid, partly to the
plaintiff and Merry, and partly to their attorney. At
a subsequent meeting
of the trustees it was proposed
that an inquiry into Mr. Dines' and Mr. berry's
conduct in the matter should be made; but this proposi-
tion was negatived by a majority of the trustees present.
The article which formed the subject of this action ap-
peared in the Bedford Mercury on the occasion of this
latter meeting of the trustees; and in it, after narrating
the above facts, a
passage to the folloWing effect ap-
peared Now, say some of our readers, this is fratli,
dishonesty, thieving—so it is, and we have known ha::
transported for less offences than this." The article
then went on to enumerate the trustees who had voted
for no inquiry, and concluded by Saying that the sub-
ject was Zleservieg of the investigation of a criminal
court.

that any man cisiliug .iimself a gentleman could be so
mean as to go, even had it been in a legitimate and pro-

of their pittances to pay his costs, occasioned by his being
in the wrong. But the conduct of the trustees was even
snore blameable, and if the ratters were beolglit before
the Coati of elhilecery, they would be made to refund.
It would be for the jury, within whose province it exclu-
sively was to determine the question, to say whether the
defendant had exceeded the bounds of fair criticism.
The liberty of the press was second only in importance
to the institution of trial by jury—second, because the
battle of the constitution was fought by juries. The
press was free, because juries were independent; juries
were not independent because the prcss was free. If
the jary thought that the defendant bad in any degree
exceeded what was warranted by the circumstances
they would give such damages as they considtred rea-
soneble.

DUCHY COURT OF LANCASTER, June 19.
(Before the Right Hon. the Earl of CARLISLE, Chan-
cellor, assisted by Mr. ELLits, Q.C., Attorney-General
of the Duchy.)
THE CHARGE AGAINST MR. RAMSHAY, JUDGE' OF THE
LIVERPOOL COUNTY COURT.
This day the Court again sat for the fourth time. On
the previous day witnesses were examined on the part
of Mr. Ramshay, when the Court adjourned to receive
the reply of Mr. Whateley, but on the Chancellor calling
upon the Learned Counsel to proceed,
Mr. DYKES said that he had another witness who had
only that morning arrived in town, and who had come
forward unsolicited to give evidence against the allega-
tions of the Guardian Society.
The Comte, having consented to receive the evidence,
Mr. John R. Miles, proprietor of a day and boarding
school, Chadwick-street, Liverpool, was examined in
favour of Mr. Ramshay.
Mr. WHATELEY was then heard in reply. He con-
cluded his address by saying that those by whom he; was
instructed had acted from public motives. The memorial
of the society did not impute to the judge any want of
legal capability, but that ho did net possess that cool
and calm demeanour which ought to characterise the
conduct of a judge. No one would rejoice more than
ho if the charges had not been proved. He was sure the
-decieinn. of his Lordship would be received with the
greatest respect.
The Noble CHANCELLOR observed that in order to
come to a proper decision on the case, it would be ne•
cessary for the Court to take time in 918 consideration of
the evidence. No delay would take place, and when the
decision was formed, he would direct a communication
to be made to the legal gentlemen engaged on either
side, to whom he was much obliged for the great ability
they had displayed, and for the assistance they had
.;.ffirded the Court.
The Court then adjourned.
