CHANCERY.—(THIS DAY.)
(llt-tore the LORD CHANCELLOR.)
IN RE BELOVED WILKS.
IE3 .LORDSHIP deilsTred jtld,;;Rlk•cit in this appeal, the
arguments in which occul,:ed the Court two days last
week, us reported in our columns.
The petition was pr,-;,entuti by certain inhabitants of
three parishes in the county of Gloucester, against an
election made by the trustees of a charity founded by Mr.
Willis, formerly a beneficed clerg} man in that county,
for the education of a youth belonging to either of the
three parishes. The election last made by the trustees
fell on a youth named Joyce, against which it was ob-
jected to by the petitioners that he was not duly quali-
fied, and that the trustees ought to have elected another
candidate, named Gate.
The LORD CHANCELLOR that having attentively
gone through the affida•rits, he could find nothing-
which would justify him in coming to the conclusion
that the trustees could have made any other election
then that which they had made. He therefore thought
the petition should be dismissed, and that the trustees
should have their costs allowed from the estate.
Order accordingly.
EMMET V. DEWHURST.
His LORDSHIP then proceeded with the arguments in
this case, which was a part-heard appeal from an order
of the Vice-Chancellor, directing inquiries to ascertain
the extent of the liabilitieS of William Dewhurst on an
agreement by which he guaranteed the payecent of a
composition of 83. in the pound on the debt due by Isaac
Dewhurst to the Halifax Joint-Stock Bank.

ROLLS COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

MORGAN V. MORGAN.

The arguments in this case, which was an application
for a rehearing, were resumed this morning. There
had been a decree obtained in the cause in the year 1846,
on the construction of a settlement of property upon the
widow of the testator, who was made the tenant thereof
for life, and the question now submitted to the Court
was, did such a disposition of the property entitle her to
the enjoyment of it in specie.

VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Vice Chancellor KNIGHT BRUCE.)
His Honour was occupied the whole morning with
short causes, none of which were of general interest.
(Before Lord CRANWORTIL)
His Lordship disposed this morning of a number of
unopposed petitions, and was afterwards engaged in
bearing motions.
(Before Vice-Chancellor TURNER.)
No business of importance was brought before his
Honour to-day.

QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings iu Banco.)
CRIMINAL INFORMATION—QUEEN V. KAYE AND
ANOTHER.
In this case a rule nisi had been obtained calling upon
the defendants to show cause why a criminal information
should not be filed against them for having published a
libel in the Wesleyan Times, reflecting upon the moral
character of the Rev. W. H. Clarkson. a circuit preacher,
belonging to the Wesleyan body. Mr. Chambers, now
appeared to show cause against the rule, and it appeared
from his statement that, some time ago, Mr. Clarkson
was stationed at Derby, where he fixed his domestic es-
tablishment, and had a young Newnan named Charlotte
Herrons in his service as housemaid. Now this young
woman, just before the meeting of Conference, last year,
gave birth to a child, of which she alleged Mr. Clark-
son was the father. This circumstance came to the
knowledge of the Conference, and they oirected an in-
quiry to be instituted into the matter, and ultimately
they decided that no imputation rested upon either the
conduct or the character of the Reverend Gentleman. It
transpired, however, that Mr. Clarkson himself took a
leading part in conducting the inquiry, and there was

reason to suppose that the young woman had been e

etsaud,dt
mat
being public
carried
discussion
before
f theth e
magistrates sitting at Leamington, where the young
woman underwent a lengthened examination, and related
the history of her criminal connexion with her Reverend
master. She declared that the Rev. Gentleman was for
months contemplating her ruin before he accomplished
his purpose. She lived with him for nearly three years,
the family consisting of the Rev. Gentleman himself,
his wife, and his wife's mother; and it was while the
latter were absent from home that the Rev. Gentleman
succeeded in effecting her seduction. Before the magis-
trates, however, no confirmatory proof of the connexion
was adduced, as the Bastardy Act requires, and the case
was therefore dismissed. Now the articles complained
of were commentaries upon this case; and it was con-
tended by Mr. Chambers, that, inasmuch as they related
to a topic which eame fairly and legitimately within the
province of a public, ournalist, they could not bo held to
be libellous. The principal defendant and chief proprie-
tor of the newspaper was a manufacturer at Isludiers-
field, and he took no part in its management, but neverthe-
less, having fully investigated this case he had no reason
to feel that his paper had in any way been misconducted.
The editor had done no more than discuss the conduct
of a public character, arising out of a public question;
and since he had strictly confined his comments within
the legitimate limits of newspaper controversy, this gen-
tleman, who was most interested in the proper manage-
ment of the Wesleyan Times, thought it would be unjust
to call upon him to answer a criminal information, though
he was quite ready and willing to meet the inquiry in
any other shape.
%Ir. HANCE, who was on the same side, said he bad
only one word to add to the argument of his Learned
Friend, and that was simply this:—Mr. Clarkson, he
apprehended, had brought this matter into court for the
sake of publicly contradicting the charge which had
been made against him. Now, having had that oppor-
tunity, and the defendants themselves being willing to
admit that of their own knowledge they knew nothing
against the private or moral character of the Reverend
Gentleman,it was hoped the Court would decline to make
the rule absolute.
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE said the Court would not
put Sir Frederick fhesiger, who appeared for the plain-
tiff, to the trouble of replying, as they felt that the rule
ought to he made absolute. The jury would then say
whether or no the liberty of the press had been mali-
ciously abused by these publications. That was the ques-
ion propounded by the Learned Counsel who appeared
or the defendants, and as a jury was the only tribunal
:hat could answer it, he would say no more, so that
the case might go down for trial without prejudice.
Rule aesolute accordingly.

COMMON PLEAS.—(THIS DAY.)
The business transacted in this court during the morn.

EXCHEQUER.—(THIS DAY.)
(Sitting in Banco.)
ATTORNEY•GENERAL V. LONDON DOCK COMPANY.
After disposing of some unimportant motions, the
Court proceeded with file part-heard case of the At-
torney-General v. the LJndon Dock Company.
SIT FITZROY KELLY resumed his arguments on behalf
of the defendants, observing that as tae directors and
other functionaries connected with the company had
been, by the whole evidence, as well as the express ad-
mission of the Attorney-General, relieved of all per-
sonal imputation, or of any accusation of a wilful inten-
tion to violate the law, his only object in appearing be-
fore their Lordships was to suggest that a plain and in-
telligible construction should be put on certain Acts of
Parliament for the guidance and protection of the com-
pany in the future administration of their extensive es-
tablishment. The Learned Counsel then entered at con-
siderable length into the particulars of the case, and to
the different Acts of Parliament, the provisions o'
which he contended were of a very general and u.ncer
tain character.
The address of the Learned Counsel was likely to oc
cupy the greater portion of the day.

contrary to the Act 2d and 3d Viet., cap. 47, see. 7.
Mr• T• W. Hall, cashier to Messrs. Fox and Hender-
son, the contractors, stated that he was instructed to
appear against the defendants by Mr. Digby Wyatt,
secretary to the Executive Committee of the Crystal
Palace, in consequence of the defendants persisting in
selling beer in tae vicinity of the Crystal Palace, not•
withstanding the caution they had received from the
magistrate on Twsclay last. On Saturday afternoon
the defendants were in the park, near the Crystal
Palace, selling beer, which they had with them in large
cans. As tiiey had been previously convicted of a
similar offence. he gave them in charge.
The defendants said they were not in the park at all

DEATII Or MRS WAYLETT•—M's. Alex. ler Lee
(formerly Mrs. Waylett) died on Saturday, after a painful
illness of seven years' duration, which obliged her to relin-
quish the profession of which she was so great an ornament.
She bore her sufferings with patience and resignation. She
was one of the sweetest and best of English ballad singers.

SOYER'S SYMPOSIUM.
Within bow-shot of the western extremity of the
Crystal Palace, there stands on the Kensington-road
a mansion not unknown to fame in the worlds of lite-
rature and fashion as having been for several years
the residence of the late beautiful and accomplished
Countess of Bleseiogton. It has now passed into the
hands of another and still more celebrated owner.
There, has ALEXIS COQUORUM REX set up his vene-
rated standard. There he wields the culinary sceptre
with "no brother near the throne." Celsa sedet
Eolus arce ; but far more grateful and substantial
blessings does the potentate of Gore House, Soyer the
Superb, dispense, than were wont to issue from the
stormy caverns of the Liparaean God. Availing our-
selves of the Soyerian courtesy, we had the pleasure
of assi,,ting on last Saturday at an inspection of his
new establishment, and frankly confess that however
sanguine the expectations which had been created by
a knowledge of the singular taste and talent
of the eminent artist, they fell far short of the reality.
If the [nighty structure of Paxten be confessedly
the monster marvel of the metropolis, assuredly the
Symposium of Soyer is the next most mark-worthy
of " t'ae lions of London." Let no Exhibition visi-
tor of the :lightest pretence to taste omit paying his
homage at this delightful shrine, and if, after the en-
joyment of all that is calculated to please the eye in
the mansion and its spacious grounds, he can bid
farewell to such Elysian scenes without indulging in
some of the luxurious viands and beverages which are

disposed in tempting profusion on the numerous
tables, all that can be said is that he must be a wight
of either singular stupidity, or matchless, but unen-
viable, self-control. Of a visit to Gore House it may
be truly and appropriately said, in the words of the

_
accomplished Roman,—
" 2Eque pauperibui prodcst, locupletibus wque,
.toque negtectum pueris cenibusque nocebit."
"The enchanter's wand," exclaims the glowing
author of " The Book of the Symposium,"—" The
enchanter's wand of Alexis Sayer, like that of Mer-
lin, will triumph over geographical limits, and laugh
the restrictions of space to scorn. From all quarters
of the globe, civilized or uncivilized, will his visitors
come—the doors of the Symposium will be thrown
open to universal humanity. The lightning-winged
locomotive, the heavy vetturino, the clumsier dili-
gence, the steamboat, the caique, the junk, and felucca,
will bring their myriad visitors to the gates of Gore-
house. Cosmopolitan customs should demand Cosmo-
politan cookery; and it is by no means an exaggerated
expectation, we think, to imagine within the walls of the
Symposium grave and lively Frenchmen, expatiating
over their potages and fricandeaux; phlegmatic Turks,
discussing pillaf and hachis; mercurial Persians, enjoy-
ing their sherbet; sententious Spaniards, luxuriating
over olla podrida; wide. awake Americans, consuming
Johnny cakes and canvas-backed ducks; pigtailed
Chinese, devouring their favourite stewed dog; meta-
physical Germans, washing down prodigious quantities
of sauerkraut with oceans of rheinwein; swarthy Rus-
sians up to their eyes in caviar; Cossacks calling for
more train oil; Tartars, swallowing quarts of mare's
milk; and New Zealanders—no, not New Zealanders,
for who could form any idea of the horror and dismay
which would be caused by some ebony-skinned and
boomeranged chieftain demanding baked young
woman" for two, and a cold boiled missionary' to

follow ?"
Advance, courteous reader, through the vestibule,
seamed with golden lightnings, and passing through
the Atrium, the walls of which are covered with a
novel architectural ensemble, turn to the right, and
enter "La Salle du Parnasse," formerly the
Blessington library, now a dining-room, re-
splendent with mirrors, marbles, white, green,
and gold. Admire, too, the adjoining and mag-
nificent apartment, "La Salle des Noces de
Danae," with its ceiling of perforated arabesque, a
pale green, parseme with many hued flowers, and
profusely enriched with gold, while through its per-
forations are visible the clear blue tints of a summer
sky. Half pendent from this plafond are eight globes
of silvered glass, and on the walls are seen descend-
ing showers of tears of embossed gold and silver and
rich gem-like hues. These are the principal rooms
upon the ground-floor, and they present a superb dis-
play of decorative ingenuity. The walls of the stair-
case, by which you ascend to the upper rooms, are
painted with a most entertaining medley of grotesque
and monstrous-headed figures, painted, or rather
sketched in fresco, comprising many biped celebrities,
and quadrupeds hitherto undiscovered by zoologists.
This very clever and bizarre production is due to the
brain and pencil of Mr. George Sala. Pass through
the tri-coloured " Avenue des Amours " into "La
Chambre Ardente d'Apollon," a circular apartment
glowing with crimson, gold, and amber, thence into
the " Grotte des Neiges Eternelles," glistening with
brilliant masses of stalactite-like ice, the effect being
enhanced and the expanse enlarged by mirrors, with
their edges artistically concealed by pendent icicles.
Striking is the contrast presented by the "Vintage
Palazzo," a saloon which suddenly transports you to
the sunny skies and deep blue waters of the shores of
Italy, seen through the vine-clad arches of a trellised
gallery. The "Door of the Dungeon of Mystery"
now opens, and admits you to " Le Boudoir de la Val-
Here," a delightful chanibre a toucher, with the in-
terior " Eil de &eat.," a perfect alcove of festooned
flowers, surmounted with a sky of delicately-veiled
rosy clouds. Last remains to view "Le Pagode du
Uheval de Bronze," or "The Celestialinall of the Golden
Lilies," which would gladden the soul of a Mandarin
of the first class in the flowery land. Too much
praise cannot be awarded fur the rich and varied taste
displayed throughout the interior by Mr. Adams and
his assistants. In the gardens, which extend over
some eight acres, you will find various objects of
interest, flower-beds, statues, fountains, the " Impe-
netrable Grotto of Oradine," &c. ; but the most con-
spicuous and important is the vast " Baronial Ban-
quetting Hall," not yet completed, but which we
predict will be inferior in popularity to no other
feature, when hung with paintings and resounding
with the strains of unseen musicians, or rather
dimly seen in an elevated orchestra, viewed through
the nebulous medium of mysterious clouds ; and" Le
Pavillon Monstre d'Amphytrion," four hundred feet
in length, and capable of affording prandial accommo-
dation to fifteen hundred persons at half-a•crown
a head. The table from end to end is covered with
a single monster tablecloth, which we vouch to have
beheld unrolled to its full extent thereon, and whith
is certainly the greatest triumph of textile skill ever
submitted to the public. And now re-entering the
house, after a " whet" at the American bar, a
cobbler, shandy-gaff, or the like, sit you down, in
one of the luxurious salles a manger, and contemplate
the admirable arrangem mt of those chefs d'ouvre of
gastronomy. Taste but a morsel of this pie, and, as
'
it melts upon your palate, if you do not bless the
Great Artist with internal fervency, you are a grace-
less dog, a flinty •hearted monster. Lucullus, were he
in the flesh, would weep tears of ecstacy at such inef-
fable deliciousness. Fortunate it is for Soyor that he
is no " light-weight," or of a certainty Olympian Jove
would again dispatch his feathered minister to bear
him to the skies, like Ganymede of yore, and Ambro-
sia would be at a discount among the immortal ban-
quetters, when once they had made trial of his une-
qualled skill. The wines, too, are of a recherche cha-
racter, from humble port--no " black-strap" by the
way, but the genuine blood of Lusitania—to impe-
rial Tokay. As these blissful reminiscences arise, our
pen becomes inadequate to convey a due impression of
what must be personally enjoyed to be adequately ap-
preciated, and adds but this—that, were we the foun-
tain of dignity and honour, we would forthwith insti-
tute a new Chivalric Order, and nominate Alexis
Sayer Grand Master of the Chapter of Knights of
,he Golden Gridiron.

THE OPENING OF (HE CRYSTAL PALACE.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SlR,—When " God save the Queen" is played on the
great organ at the opening of the Crystal Palace by her
Majesty on the Ist of May, do you not think that the
effect would be materially increased by the addition of
the 600 voices forming the chorus of the London Sacred
Harmonic Society, and who, I have not the least doubt,
would willingly and cheerfully give their gratuitous as-
sistance on such an occasion, and for such a loyal par--
pose, provided there be sufficient room for them in the
immediate vicinity of the organ. I enclose. my card.
