QUEEN'S BENCH.-kTHIS DAY.)
(Sittings at Nisi Prius at \Vestwinster, before the
LORD CHIEF JUSTICE and a SpPeial Jury.)
MILNER V. HARRISON, EXECUTOR•

This was an action to try the right t a patent taken
out in the year 1840 for an alleged improvement in the
construction of iron safes and boxes fur the preserva-
tion of books and papers from destruction by fire.
The d. fendant pleaded not guilty to the alleged in-
fringement that the invention was not new, or of public
utility, and that the plaintiff was not the inventor.
Mr. Chambers, Mr. Crowder, and Mr. Webster, ap-
peared for the plaintiff, and the defendant was repre-
sented by Sir F. Ihesiger, Mr. Knowles, and Mr.
ilindmarsh.
The boxes and safes made by the plaintiff are well
known by the name of " Miluer's patent," and their
peculiarity consists in the introduction of water and
some other absorbent substance, which keep the docu-
ments deposited inside in a moist state when the boxes
are surrounded by fire, and protect them from the in-
fluence of the devouring element.
The evidence, which was of a purely scientific and
technical character, promised to occupy the Court the
whole day.

MARLBR(Y-STREE r-("1 HIS DAY.)
ATTEMPTED SDICIDE.—Jemima Busted, a girl about
18 years of age, was brought before Mr. Bingham,
charged.with attempting to commit suicide by throwing
herself into the Serpentine, Hyde-park.
Inspector Brandsiorci, .1!.1 division, stated that about
halt-plat ton on Saturday night he was standing on the
north bank of the Serpentine in company with a ser-
geant, when he saw some person come by the waterside
and sit on one of the benches. Itt about a minute after
he saw that the person had disappeared. This
excited his suspicion, and on going to the
spot he found a shawl and bonnet lying On
the seat, and on looking into the river he saw
a dark mass floating on the top of the water. He
ttrehed into the river, and atter considerable difficulty
succeeded in getting hold of the prisoner and bore her to
shore in a state of tusensibtlity, and has _a
had
DO aaisht-
since immediately at hand, he pulled out his knife and
out open her dress. A police-sergeant shortly came to
his aid, and the prisoner was taken to the Humane So-
ciety's receivieg house, where the usual remedies were
resorted to, *nu after a short time she was so far re•
covert d as to be removed to the workhouse.
The prisoner, who refused to assign any cause for
attempting suicide, was remanded fur the attendance of
her parents, who reside, in the country.

SURREY ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS.
The tnuussiiirs who daily resort to L uijun, and who
wish to see something besides the Crystal Palace,
will be glad to near of a sight wrdch they
ought not to quit the metropolis without
seeing—we mean the Surrey Z ,ological Gardens.
This Exhibition is of the very highest merit. The
magmficent tableau of Rome, in its ancient grandeur,
speak, volumes in praise of MMssrB. Danson's skill as
painters, and the C desseum is without exception the
finest ap. cirnen of pictorial illusion that we have
ever seen even at these gardens. The music,
conducted by Jullien, delights every ono who hears ir,
sod Southey's fireworks mtirtaiu the character ( f the
artist. There is no exhibition in this metropolis with
claims Null to the Surrey Gardens for the sight-seer,
She admirer of scenic art, ur the lover of excellent music
and pyrotechnic display.
