QUEEN'S BENCH.—(THIS DAY.)
This was the second day of the sittings in London at
Nisi Prius after term. The cases tried possessed no feature
of public interest sufficient to justify a report. The special
jury cases are fixed for Monday.

EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings in Banco, before Barons PARSE, ALDERSON, PLATT,
and MARTIN.)
The Court gave judgment in several cases this morning,
none of which were of sufficient importance to call fora
report.
(Sittings at. isi Prins, before the LORD Ctinr BARON and a
Special Jury.)
The Court was still occupied with the case of the Attorney
General v. the London Dock Company, which will probably
last out beyond the present week.

CHREATENING LO RD J. RUSSELL.

110 '-STREET.—(THIS DAY).
Clarks Gill, charged with having threatene3 to shoot
Lord John Russell, was brought up for examination this
morning at the Bow-street Police-court. The publication of
the arrest in the morning papers drew a large concourse of
well-dressed people to the office, bnt the entrance and avenues
were kept in excellent order, and the court was at no time
during the inquiry inconveniently crowded. Mr. Henry sat
upon the bench, and heard the case.
The prisoner is a short, thickset young man, with small
dark features. There is nothing about the expression of his
countenance to indicate insanity, but his eves are deeply sunk
in his head, and he appeared to be a man of a studious turn
of mind.

Mr. llEsiar asked him if he pleaded guilty to the charge
of threatening Lord John Russell ? The pritioner said he
should decline doing that, and added in reply to further
questions that he lived at 33, Surrey-place, Old Kent-road,
and was a working jeweller.
Mr. Arthur Russell, the private secretary to Lord John
Russell, proved the receipt of the letter containing the
threat, and Inspector Field spoke to having arrested the
prisoner on a warrant last night. He told the prisoner what
he was charged with, and the prisoner at once admitted
having written the letter.
The letter was produced, and upon being shown to the
prisoner he at once admitted the handwriting, and re-
quested that the whole of it might be read. This was done ;
it was simply a statement thatshe had made some important
discoveries in the laws of gravitation and leverage, and
called upon Lord John Russell to assist him in making his
discovery known to the world, or he would first give him a
black eye and a bloody nose, and if that did not suffice to
make his Lordship sensible of the neglect with which his
Lordship treated mechanical geniuses like himself, he would
get half an ounce of powder, as much lead
test the maximum power or resisting strength c't. his Lord-
ship's skull.
The prisoner said he sent this letter a and

that was likely to benefit himself in his
country, he could
obtain no assistance from those who professed to patronise
the mechanical ingenuity of the day, and it was the negli-
gence or want of support on the part of this arrogant class
of the community that had driven him to this expedient,
for the purpose of bringing his invention into notoriety. As
for injuring Lord John Russell, he would not even. lift his
little finger against him ; and if he had read the letter otters.

been resorted to, notice of it would have been given in the
