ATTEMPT TO STAB A POLICEMAN.—Josefo orofci, an
Italian soldier, belonging to the Anglo-Italian Legion,
and who ioight to have been with his regiment on his
way tri the Cape of Good Hope, was brought before Mr.
Selfe charged with attempting to stab a police-constable
named Veliabh-s, No. 141 K.
It appeared from the evidence that the prisoner was
making a disturbance, and surrounded with prostitutes,
in thet infamous neighbourhood called Baker-street, at a '
late hour last night. Venables came up and dispersed
time
the loose women, and directed the prisoner to go about
his business. The Italian refusedtuongdeo

women robbed him of 125., and the constable struck
him with his truncheon.
Venables denied having struck the prisoner, and said
a gentleman, who could not attend to-day, saw the
whole transaction, and would attend to-morrow.
Mr. Selfe—Very well, then, I will remand the pri-
soner till tomorrow (Wednesday).

MONDAY BVENING CONCERTS.

These concerts are great iv improved since their trans'
fereoce to St. Martin's Hall. The programme of last
night's concert might have suited the west musical an'
dienco in London. Among other things, all of a re'
fined description, it included Mende'swim's charming
part-song, " 0 bills, 0 vales of pleasure ;" Macfarreol
fine song, "She shines before me like a star," from WI
opera "Charles the Second ;" Balfe's serenade, " G°°:
night, beloved ;" Benedict's song, "Rage, thou angry
storm," from the best of all that composer's Work!!
" The Gipsy's Warning ;" Venzano's bravura, so MO'
the rage at present ; Hatton's ballad, " Good byes
sweetheart ;" Festa's beautiful madrigal, "Down ink
flowery vale ;" and two solos on the concertina, play
by Mr. Case. The vocal performers were Madame fir.
Frodsham, Miss M. Huddart, Mr. Alfred Pierre, 31,r'
O'Hara, and Mr. Marryatt. Between the parts of the
concert there was a dramatic reading by Mr. Adolphus
Francis. He read almost the whole of the third act nt'
"Othello," and acquitted himself very respectably ; bat
his his performance was too long, and excited a good Lte3l
in:patience. On the whole the concert was of surpriiing
excellence.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.

(Sittings in Banco, before Lord Campbell, Justices
Coleridge, Wightman, and Erle.)
This was the special paper day. Three cases only
were set down for hearing. The first, Ince v. Manches-
ter, involving the question of the maintenance of a luna-
tic pauper, in which the Court took time to consider the
point.

SPIELMAN Y. THE SOUTH-EASTERN RAILWAY COMPANY.

On the calling on of this case, Mr. Wilde applied to
their Lordships to postpone this case till Friday.
Lord Campbell declined, and said the case must be
proceeded with or struck out. This, from time imme-
morial, bad been the special paper day, and it was not
respectful to the Court for such applications to be made
without any explanation.

Mr. Wilde said he knew nothing of the case, and
had acted according to his instructions for a postpone-
ment, to which both parties consented.
Lord Campbell said that no doubt counsel was free
from blame, but, he repeated, there was serious blame
somewhere, and that the public time must not be trifled
with in this way. Re ordered the case to be struck out,
and not to be restored without full explanation from the
learned counsel engaged.

The. ewe was then struck out, as was the remaining
one.

His lordship then went through the bar, who had no
motions to make, and the Court rose before 12 o'clock.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER.

Mr. Baron Alderson, Mr. Baron Bramwell, and Mr.

SOUTH WARK.

DARING GAROTTE ROBBERY IN THE BOROUGH.—
Thomas Marty, a ruffianly looking fellow, was brought
up in custody of Sergeant Broad, 23 L, charged with
being concerned with two other men in committing a
violent assault upon Mr. Edward Mason, a banker's
clerk, and robbing him of a pipe and case.
It appeared from the evidence of the prosecutor that
about 12 o'clock on the foggy night he was passing along
Blackman-street, Through, towards his home, Oxford-
terrace, Clapham-road, and when near King's-place a
man rushed upon him and seized him tightly by the
throat, another man caught hold of his arms, while two
others rifled his pockets. He was so tightly grasped by
the throat that he was nearly suffocated. He, however,
contrived to raise an alarm, when the fellows let go and
ran away. One of them, Charles Hunter, a ticket of
leave coavict, was pursued, and taken into custody at
the time, but the others made their escape. Witness
was informed that another man was in custody at the
Tower-street police station on the previous night, when
he attended and identified the prisoner as the man who
grasped his throat. He then gave him in charge. The
ruffians ransacked his coat pockets, but fortunately they
had not time to get to an inside pocket where he had
considerable property. All he lost was a pipe and case
Sergeant Broad, 23 L, said'that he had been in search
of the ruffians since the robbery. On the previous even•
ing he was in company with 38 M, in Webber-street,
Blackfriara•road, when he saw the prisoner look into a
public-house. As soon as he saw witness he bolted
off towards the New-cut, where he was eventually cap-
tured. Witness took him to the Tower-street police-
station, and shortly afterwards Mr. Mason entered, and
identified him as the man who throttled him. On the
way to the station-house the prisoner said, "There
were others who ought to be taken as well as me, and
they might have taken him before."

Abraham Dearing, 38 NI, said he was on duty in
Blackman-street on the evening of the fog, and he piked
up the prosecutor, who was nearly strangled. One of
the ruffians was taken near the spot,, but the others
escaped. He knew the prisoner to be one of the men
who ran away.

The prisoner declared that all the witnesses were mis-
taken. lie was not in the 139 rough on the night in
question, and he should be able to prove that he was in
a public-house near the Victoria Theatre at the time.
Mr. Mason swore positively as to his identity; and
it being proved that he was a notorious thief and com•
panion of ticket-of leave canvicts, the magistrate com-
mitted him for trial with the other man, Charlea Hunter.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.

Maudsley Draper, who pleaded guilty on Thursday
last of embezzlement, was brought up for judgment.
The Assistant-Judge said this was a very serious case.
The prisoner had embezzled his master's money to the
amount of nearly 1,0001., and he could not feel justified
in sentencing bim to imprisonment. The sentence,
therefore, was that he be kept in penal servitude for four
years.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.—(This D y.)

COURT OF CHANCERY.
(Before the Lord Chancellor.)
IN RE BESSEMER'S PATENT.

The Lord Chancellor this morning gave judgment in
this very important ca,e, which was argued a few days
ago before his Lordship. It was a petition for the seal-
ing of a patent, to secure to Mr. Bessemer hie alleged
invention of a new method of making malleable iron by
one process, which sweltered, refined, and puddled the
iron in the same furnace, so that the iron flowed out for
any purpose. The first notice, however, of the inven-
tion was given in a paper read before the British
Association, and it had since been asserted
that the discovery was worth millions to the British
ironmasters. It appeared, however, that a process
somewhat similar to that claimed by Mr. Bessemer has
been in operation for the last 14 months at the Bowling
Iron Works at Bradford, and that the manager of those
works, a Mr. Birch, patented the invention on the 22d
of June, 1855. A caveat bad been lodged by Mr. Birch
against the sealing of Mr. Bessemer's process on the
ground that it was nearly the same as his own. His
lordship said there were a few questions under the consi-
deration of the court more lull of difficulty than the
present, but after carefully examining the whole of the
plans and documents in the case, he felt bound to say
that there was sufficient novelty in the invention of Mr.
Bessemer for the granting of a patent, and under these
circumstances he did not see 126 w the Court could with-
hold the affixing of the great seal thereto. The great
seal would, therefore, be affixed to his patent, and the
time for carrying out the patent would be enlarged until
the 30th of December next.

SCAECITY OF SEAMEN IN THE UNITED STATES.—The
Navy Department finds great difficulcy in procuring sail-
ors to man the publie vessels. The Government is violat-
ing its contract with every ono who enlists in the naval
service by refusing to discharge them at the expiration of
their respective terms of enlistment. Such is now the
condition of most of the seamen on American vessels
at foreign stations. Thu . excuse given by the
department for refusing to dvcbarge them is that men
cannot he procured for the relief ships. However wil-
ling Jack may be to serve his country he wishes that
service to be voluntary, and when men at home ,ee this
violation of faith on the part of the Government towards
these in service, they will, of course, decline enlistment.
Such confusion as now exists in the navy is without
precedent.—Ncto York Herald.

DUBLIN, MONDAY.
An influential meeting of noblemen and gentle-
men connected with Belfast and the adjoining
counties was held on Friday, at the Royal Hotel,
Belfast, for the purpose of promoting a speedy
communication between the northern portions of
the two countries by a short sea transit for mails
and passengers via Donaghadee and Portpatrick.
The Mayor of Belfast presided, and among those
who took a part in the proceedings were Viscount
Dalrymple, M.P.,Lord Dufferin, Mr. W. Shar-
man Crawford, homas M'Clure, Lieut.-Colonel
Ferguson, &c. A general conversation ensued,
and, in reply to a question, Lord DalryloPle
stated that he had reason to know that, im-
mediately on the company obtaining their
acts, the Government would be prepared to
undertake the necessary outlay upon the bar-
hours at Portpatrick and Donaghadee. A sub-
scription was then entered into, and almost ever),
gentleman present attached his name thereto, auu
the total, including subscriptions previously re'
ceived in Belfast and neighbourhood, amounted to
upwards of 80,0001. A committee was then ap-
pointed to obtain further subscriptions ;
after passing resolutions, the meeting, which war
rmiked throughout by the greatest unanimity au"
journed. •
Tne ni3t rental of the lands posted for sale iu the
liscumbered Estates CoUrt for the present men"
alone amounts. to 27,0001. per annum.
The Cork Reporter has the following particular°
of a disastrous collision off, the Cork coast :--
About 4 o'clock on Thursday morning a collision to°f
,lace off Cape Clear, which resulted in the total 1089,1
e of the vessels, the schooner Mary Macklin, ei
o irt, Shea, master. The schooner, which was on its °l',
.o Cahirciveen, freighted by Burke Brothers, merche4o
,f this city, with a large cargo of Indian corn, 001%1.
collision with the Mangerton steamer of Limerick, 0",
;frier, master, bound to London with a general eal;cl
And went down about half-past 12 o'clock, having ti°!,,at
for eight hours after the collision. It seems strange woo
the steamer made no efforts to run her aground in r
port durkg the interval. She picked off the crew,
ever, and dropped into Queenstown with them on The!:
isy afternoon. The Mary Macklin was the joint truof
,erty of Mr. Henessy, deputy harbour waster, an:
Ars. Paisley, widow of the late Mr. J. Paisley, of ra
sage. This is the second vessel which theMangerto°
ran don.
The gallant veteran, General Lord Gough, eut‘
itr,
tained 150 of the tenantry of his Lougholp
estate, in the county of Galway, at a hospita
feast last week.
The remains of the late Earl of Brandon Were
consigned to their last resting place with all
solemnity on Friday last.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.

'Sittings in BitICO, before Lord Campbell, Xustices

Coleridge, Wightman, and Erie.)

This was the Fpecial paper day. Three cases only
were set down for hearing. The first, Ince v. Manches-
ter, involving the question of the maintenance of a lima-
tic pauper, is which the Court took time to consider the
point.

SPIELMAN V. THE SOUTH-EASTERN RAILWAY COMPANY

On the calling on of this cue, Mr. Wilde applied to
.heir Lordships to postpone this case till Friday.

Lord Campbell declined, and said the case must be
proceeded with or struck out. ,ThiP, from time imme-
morial, had been the special paper day, and it ills not
respectful to the Court for such applications to be made
without any explanation.

Mr. Wilde said he knew nothing of the case, and
had acted according t,) his instructions for a postpone-
ment, to which both parties consvuted.
Lord Campbell said tuat no doubt counsel was free
from blame, but, he repeated, there was serious blame
somewhere, and that the public time must not be trifled
mith in this way. He ordered the case to he struck out,
and not to be restored without full explanation from the
learned counsel engaged.

The case was then struck out, as was the remaining

one.

His lordship then went through the bar, who had no
motions to make, and the Court rose before 12 o'clock.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER.

;Sittings in Banco, before the Lord Chief Baron Pollack,
Mr. Baron Alder.ion, Mr, Baron Bramwell, and Mr,
Baron Watson.)

OLDERSHAW AND ANOTHER EXECUTRIX AND EXECUTOR

V. KING.

Tins was an action tried before Mr. Justice Wiles on
a guarantee, when the jury found for the plaintiff, sub
ject to a special case as to whether the defendant was
liable in law. The question was whether there was
sufficient consideration expressed in the guarantee to en

title the plaintiff to recover the whole of his claims in
respect to the future and past advances that had been
made.

The Court took time to consider their judgment.

BAIL COURT.
(Before Mr. Justice Crompton.)
THE WESTMINSTER DISTRICT BOARD OF WORKS V. THE

WESTMINSTER GAS AND CORE COMPANY.

Mr. Sergeant Hayes, with whom was Mr. Bodkin,
applied for a rule nisi, calling upon Mr. Paynter, police
magistrate of Westminster, to show cause why he should
riot adjudicate upon a summons issued by him on Ist
July, 1856, against the defendants, for breaking up,
&c., the pavement, for laying down gas pipes, mains,
&c., without the consent of the District Board first
ob'tained in writing, whereby the defendants had in-
curred a penalty of 51. The question turned upon the
Construction of sec. 109 of the Metropolitan Manage-
ment Act.

Ruie granted.

PORTSMOUTH POLICE COURT--,-N,'loNna.y.
The borough bench has been occupied all the after-
nOen—the, magistrates being ilajor Trarrs, gr. Platt,
and Mr. Carter—in' healing the case of manslaughter
committal on Saturday night. The man wiio met his
death 'on this occasion was a private, named Richard
Dahl., and the man charged with thetcrinie 5a Auguste
Winkler, both being about 24 years of age. A knife, with
which the stab was supposed to hare been perpetrated,
was produced. It is a large clasp knife; and bad, it ap-
peared-belonged to the deceased, and was taken away
from him in ,the scuffle. The wound which was the
cause of death was on the inside of the left thigh, just
below the groin. The prioner, tnrough an Alterpreter,
denied his guilt. He ,was ted to rake his trial
foe roanalaughter at the' ensuing assizes for•Hants, at
Winchester. The cause of.the,quarrel appears to have
been a rival as to the honours ofa female, in consequence
of the encouragements held out by Government to the
men to marry.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.)

COURT OF CHANCERY.
(Before the Lord Chaacellor.)
IN RE BESSEMER'S PATENT.

The Lord. Chancellor this morning gave judgment in
this very important ca-e, which was argued a few days
ago before his Lordship. It was a petition for the seal-
ing of a patent, to secure to Mr. Bessemer his alleged
invention of a new methed of making malleable iron by
one process, which smeltered, refined, and paddled the
iron in the same furnace, so that the iron flowed out for
any purpose. The first notice, however, of the inven-
tion was given in a paper read before the British
Association, and it bad since been asserted
that the discovery was worth millions to the British
ironrnasters. It appeared, however, that a process
somewhat similar to that claimed by Mr. Bessemer has
beau in operation for the last 14 months at the Bawling
Iron Works at Bradford, and that the manager of those
works, a Mr. Birch, patented the invention on the 22d
of June, 1855. A caveat bad been lodged by Mr. Eirch
against the sealing of Mr. Bessemer's process on the
ground that it was nearly the same as his own. His
lordship said there were a few questions under the consi•
deration of the court more full of difficulty than the
present, but after carefully exnitining the whole of the
plans and documents in the case, he felt bound to say
that there was sufficient novelty in the invention of Mr.
Bessemer for the granting of a patent, and under these
circumstances he did not see how the Court ceuld. -with-
hold the affixing cf the great seal thereto. The great
seal would, therefore, be affixed to his patent, and the
time for carrying out the patent would be enlarged until
the 30th of December next.

factures of European civilisation." _ _

Many might say as much, but testimony like
this, on the back of corresponding testimony, from
a recognised authority, must be allowed great
weight. In addition to the advantages of the
railway already indicated, we have the assurance
of great facilities being forthcoming in Honduras,
towards its construction, and the prospect of the
cultivation of the remarkably fertile and salubri-
ous plateau of Central America, by English and
other settlers, to say nothing of the mineral
riches to be met with in the country. Nothing,
apparently, is wanting to recommend the scheme
to favourable consideration, and all that remains
for us to do at present is to wish the projectors
the success they deserve.
