NEW COURT.

UTTERING COUNTERFEIT ColN.—llenry Thomas, alias
Williams, 41, labourer, was indicted for feloniously utter-
ing counterfeit coin.
The prisoner pleaded not guilty.
Two distinct cases of uttering having been proved, the
jury returned a verdict of guilty.
Mr. Poland, who conducted the prosecution, said the
prisoner had in 1852 been sentenced to 12 months', and in
1855, 18 months' imprisonment for a similar offence.
The Common Sergeant said he would give the prisoner
one chance more. By an accident one of the former con-
victions had been omitted from the indictment, and there-
fore he could only sentence him to a term of imprisonment
totally inadequate to the offence. If, however, he ever ap-
peared in that court again he would assuredly be sentenced
to penal servitude. He then sentenced the prisoner to 12
months' imprisonment.

POLICE INTELLIGEN CE-( THIS DAY.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

DEFRAUDING THE ANCIENT ORDER OF FORESTERS.

—George Seeley, no address, was charged before Mr. Bea-
don with obtaining money by false and fraudulent pre-
tences from the Court, Peaceful Valley (1753), of the
Ancient Order of Foresters, at 14, Swallow-street.
Mr. Inspector Webb, of the C division, having given an
outline of the case, called
Mr. Thomas Joseph Dawson, of 28, Great St. Andrew-
street, secretary of the Court, 'Peaceful Valley, of the An-
pient Order of Foresters, held at 14, Sveallow-street, who
said, on the evening of the 10th of January, 1859, the pri-
soner came to our Court, 1753, of wciich I am the secretary.

He said he was a member of the Ancient Order of Foresters,
and was a member of Court 447, at York, and that he was
in great distress and asked relief. The Court ordered him
2s. 6d., and I gave him a cheque for that amount
out of the funds of the court set apart for the purpose. I
gave him the cheque in the full belief that he was a
Forester, and a member of the court he represented, and
if he had said that he did not belong to any court at that
moment, I should not have relieved him. The money of
our court is vested in the names of three trustees, one of
whom is Mr. John William Cook. On that occasion, by
some means, the prisoner had become possessed of the pass-
word, but by what moans I cannot tell. Last night the
prisoner again came to our court, but not having the pass-
word was not admitted; and after leaving it, he was fol-
lowed to another court at the Round Table, St. Martin's-
'court, where, on coming down stairs, he was given into
custody. I have written to the secretary of Court 447, and
find that he was not a member of that court, as he stated,
in January, 18,59, and shall be able to get evidence to that
effect.
Inspector Webb asked for a remand, which was granted
till Tuesday next, there being reason to believe he has de-
frauded other courts.

.-( THIS DAY.)

OLD COURT.
(Before the Recorder.)
CUTTING WITH INTENT TO MURDER.

John Collins, 24, boxmaker, was indicted for feloniously
wounding Elizabeth Green, with intent to murder her.

Mr. Metcalfe appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Rib-
ton defended the prisoner.
The prosecutrix, Elizabeth Green, stated that she resided
in Bethnal Green, and that the prisoner had for some time
been paying his attentions to her after she had quarrelled
with her old lover. She had told him that she did not
think she . ever should make up the quarrel with her
former lover, but ultimately she again became re-
conciled, and the prisoner was very much irritated at such
an event. Shortly after this she was at a relative's house,
when the prisoner came in in a very excited state, and he
told her he wanted to speak to her. She went towards the
door, when he made a violent stab at her, which took effect
on her head. She ran out into the street and called out
" Murder." A young man named Morley seized the pri-
soner and took a knife outif his hand. She was taken to
the surgeon's, and for a fortnight she was in great danger.
In cross-examination by Mr. Ribton, she stated that she
went out walking with the prisoner after the banns of mar-
riage had been published between her and her old lover.
The prisoner did not know of the circumstance, and
as she had told him that she never should make it up
with her first lover, and that event having taken
place, she did not know how to act. She was aware that
the prisoner had been in the army, and had during that
time received an injury on the leg, but not on the head. The
banns of marriage were put up on a Monday, and for a
fortnight affer she never told him of her approaching mar-
riage. When tho prisoner committed the assault upon her
he appeared to have been drinking.
Another female corroborated the evidence of the prose -
cutrix. _ . .

The police-constable who took the prisoner into custody
said when he entered the shop where the prisoner was 2e-
tained, he said, " There, lam not going to run away." He
asked him what he had been doing ? to which he replied he
had stabbed his young woman. Witness said, " Nonsense,
you don't mean to say that ?" He said, "Is she dead? I
hose she is. I havemade up my mind to be hung for her.
I maul; to kill her, and will do so soon." The prisoner
seemed to hove been drinking.
Mr. Ribton ni..ado a strong appeal to the jury in favour of
the prisoner.
The Recorder having' summed up.
The jury returned a verdict of unlawfully wounding, with
a recommendation to mercy.
Mr. Ribton handed in a certificate of the prisoner's dis-
charge from the army, which proved that he had quitted
the service with a good character.
Sentence deferred.

THE LATE GREAT YARMOUTH ELECTION.—Sir
Henry Edmond Knowles Lacon, Bart., M.P. for Great Yar-
mouth, attended yesterday at the Westminster police-court
to prosecute a charge of wilful and corrupt perjury against
Henry Fayerman, formerly of St. Nicholas-road, Great
Yarmouth, grocer. A summons was issued against defen-
dant on the 26th ult., and placed in the handsof Knowland,
one of thq officers of the court, who on proceeding to Yar-
mouth found the accused's previous residence deserted. A
'warrant was subsequently granted and placed in the hands
of Superintendent Jewsley, of the Yarmouth police, who
apprehended the accused while concealed in a cellar at
Norwich, on Saturday afternoon, and brought him to Lon-
don. Mr. Cooper, instructed by Mr. Hanrott, appeared for
the prosecution ; and Mr. Ribton, instructed by Messrs.
Nichols and Clarke, for the accused. Mr. Cooper stated
that the present prosecution aroselout of the last election
for the borough of Great Yarmouth, and a petition presented
to the House of Commons against the return of Sir Edmund
Henry Knowles Lacon and Sir Henry Josiah Stracey.
Amongst other witnesses called in support of that petition,
which had been referred to a select committee of the house,
was the defendant, who swore that on the 18th of April,
1859, he saw Sir Edmund Lacon, who gave him a £5 note
to vote for him. Mr. Stratford read his notes of Mr.
Phinu's questions and defendant's answers, which were to
the effect that at a meeting of Sir E. Lacon's supporters in
the Victoria-gardens, Sir E. Lacon met him, and took him
down the road commonly called the Alma-road, just oppo-
site the Victoria-gardens, and said, "Mr. Fayerman, are
you going to support me and Sir Henry Stracey ? " I said
I had not made up my mind. He says, " I suppose you
want a little money ?" I said it would be very acceptable.
He said, " Well, I will give you £s—that is as much as I
can afford—if you will vote for me and Sir Henry Stracey."
Defendant took the note, and when he got home endorsed
it as follows :—" Given by Sir Edmund Lacon his own self
the 18th of April, 1859, at 12 o'clock at night, from the
Victoria-gardens." The case was a;ljeurned till Thursday,
defendant being required to find two sureties in £4O, and to
give 24 hours' notice of fail.

ASTLEY'S ROYAL AMPIIITIIEATRE•

The new three act spectacle, entitled " Fair Rosamond,
or the Amazon Crusaders," was produced here last night,
and met with the most triumphant success. The greatest
care, it was evident from the commencement, had been be-
stowed in getting up the piece, and the opening scene
elicited the most rapturous applause. The period illus-
trated is the beginning of the 12th century, and the plot
turns upon an incident in the second crusade, which, if
not quite in acordance with history, still adheres in some
respects quite sufficiently to it to furnish a very
exciting and magnificent entertainment. Amongst
the very splendid scenery with which the piece
abounds, the valley of Laodicea, with the desert in the dis-
tance and the Saracens encamping in the foreground, is
really a master-piece of scenic illusion, and is deserving of
the highest praise. Mr. Holloway, of course, enacts the
principal part—viz., Henry Plantagenet, with his accus-
tomed vigour and intensity, while the Saracen Monarch is
well-sustained by Mr. T. C. Harris. Queen Eleanor, Fair
Rosamond, and Fortuna, the prominent female parts, aro
very ably supported by Miss Seamour, Miss Scott, and
Mrs. Morton Brookes. Without attempting to give an out-
line of the plot, we may say that, as a spectacle of
the " hippo-dramatic class," it is about ono of the best we
have seen for years, and from the applause elicited last
night a run equal to that of the celebrated "Battle of
Waterloo," or " M azeppa," may be confidently anticipated.
It would be unjust to close this notice without remarking
that the incidental ballet introduced in the second act is
superior to anything that has been done at Astley's for
some time. The dancing, in conjunction with very charac-
teristic music composed for the occasion, greatly con-
tributedlo the success of the entertainment.
At the conclusion of the second act Mr. Holloway re-
ceived the honour of a call, and the curtain fell at the
termination of the play amidst the most enthusiastic

applause.
The spectacle was given out for repetition every evening
until further notice.

tricts. It consists of a written slip to be passed from hand
to hand :—" Juggernaut is closed. Distribute 500 copies,

ASTLErs ROYAL AMPHITHEATRE.

The new three act spectacle, entitled " Fair Rosamond,
or the Amazon Crusaders," was produced here last night,
and met with the most triumphant success. The greatest
care, it was evident from the commencement, had been be-
stowed in getting up the piece, and the opening scene
elicited the most rapturous applause. The period illus-
trated is the beginning of the 12th century, and the plot
turns upon an incident in the second crusade, which, if
not quite in acordance with history, still adheres in sume
respects quite sufficiently • to it to furnish a very
exciting and magnificent entertainment. Among6t
the very splendid scenery with which the piece
abounds, the valley of Laodicea, with the desert in the dis-
tance and the Saracens encamping in the foreground, is
really a master-piece of scenic illusion, and is deserving of
the highest praise. Mr. Holloway, of course, enacts the
principal part—viz., Henry Plantagenet, with his accus•
toured vigour and intensity, while the Saracen Monarch is
well sustained by Mr. 'F. C. Harris. Queen Eleanor, Pair
Rosamond, and Fortuna, the prominent female parts, are
very ably supported by Miss Seamour, Miss Scott, and
Mrs. Morton Brookes. Without attempting. to give an out-
line of the plot, we may say that, as a spectacle of
the " hippo-dramatic class," it is about one of the best we
havo seen for years, and from the applause elicited last
night a run equal to that of the celebrated "Battle of
Waterloo," or " Mazeppa," may be confidently anticipated.
It would be unjust to close this notice without rernarkin,
that the incidental ballot introduced in the second act is
superior to anything that has been done at Astley's for
some time. The dancing, in conjunction with very charac-
teristic music composed for the occasion, greatly con-
tributed to the success of the entertainment,
At the conclusion of the second act Mr. Holloway re-
ceived the honour of a call, and the curtain fell at the
termination of the play amidst the most enthusiastic
applause.

Cure of Strictures of the Urethra.

" This work is the production of a surgeon whose special
attention has been directed, through a long professional life,
to the treatment of strictures of the urethra. The cases
which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ample evidence of his
great discriminative power in the diagnosis of the various
kinds of stricture, and of the scienafic principles upon which
their management is founded. By his systematic management
an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is
attained, and future misch4ef prevented. The work we can
most unreservedly and confidently recommend as a valuable
contribution, both to the general and professional reader, and
ought to be found In the private study of all who are subject
to stricture."—Medical Circular, Dec. Ist, 1858.

Marylebone, in favour of further communication between
the north and south parts of Hyde-park, against the
Poor Relief Bill, for a delay in the further pro-
gress of the Annuity Tax Bill, on the ground that it
contained provisions not introduced in the first bill, and
that the inhabitants of Edinburgh had not had sufficient
time to consider its details, &c.

BREHON LAW COMMISSION—ROYAL IRISH

ACADEMY.
Mr. MAGUIRE asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland
whether the labours of the Brehon Law Commission were
yet brought to a close ; whether it was not a fact that the
work, commenced in 1852, was to have been completed in
three years from that date; and, whether the gentle-
men engaged on it were remunerated by annual salary,
or by a contract for a certain sum ; and also, whether the
Royal Irish Academy, to which Parliament makes an an-
nual grant, is open to the public for consultation and for
reference to its literary contents—for reading and extract-
ing, as in the British Museum.
Mr. CARDWELL said, with reference to the first ques-
tion, that the translation of ancient documents was in
course of progress. The gentlemen comprising that cots -
mission were selected for their proficiency in the Irish 'an,
guage, and had discharged their duty most faithfully. The
period originally assigned for the completion of their
labours was seven years, and they would be terminated at
the expiration of that time. As regarded the Royal Irish
Academy, every facility was afforded respectable persons to
visit that institution, and to make extracts from the valu-
able works and manuscripts it contained.
NEW ZEALAND. _

Mr. Alderman SAIO AloNSaea whether her Ma-
jesty's Government had not received despatches requiring
an immediate increase of the military force to assist in
quelling the native rising in New Zealand ; and whether it
was not therefore the intention of the Government to send
out such reinforcements forthwith by steam?
Mr. C. FORTESCUE, who was almost inaudible, was
understood to say that when advises on the subject were
received they would be carefully considered by the Go-
vernment, but they were not at present in possessizm of offi-
cial information on the subject.
WAR RETURNS.

Colonel DUNNE asked the Secretary of State for War
why certain returns, ordered some time since by the house
from the War Department, had not been presented, and
when they would be laid upon the table ?
Mr. S. HERBERT said that sill the returns moved for
had already been presented, and would be laid on the table
that evening, with the exception of one which was not pre-
pared.

THE CONGRESS AT BADEN-BADEN.

The .IVeue Preussische Zeitung gives the follow-
ing account of the preliminaries which led to the
coming interview between the Emperor of the
French and the Prince Regent of Prussia :
" One day last week Prince de la Tour d'Auvergne, the
French Ambassador, informed Baron Schleinitz, Minister
of Foreign Affairs, that his Sovereign had heard of the in-
tended visit of the Prince Regent to Baden-Baden, and that
the Emperor felt a great desire to go there to greet him.
' The Emperor,' he said, considered that such an inter-
view would be the most efficient means for dissipating the
lamentable distrust which Germany actually entertains to-
wards France.'

" M. de Schleinitz did not think he could receive such a
communication without pointing out to the Ambassador
that in a great part of Germany, doubtless most unjustly,
Prussia was also the object of distrust, and that, conse-
quently, the interview projected by the Emperor Napoleon
could not attain the desired result.

" The Prince de la Tour d'Auvergue telegraphed this
objection of the Prussian Government to Paris, and received
a telegraphic reply that the Emperor would be delighted to
meet also any other German Princes at Baden-Baden.

" The result is, that the Prince Regent has accepted the
interview proposed by the Emperor of the French, on the
condition that other German Princes shall be present at
Baden at the same time as himself. Thus, on the Prussian
side, everything possible has been done to avoid till's inci-
dent providing a new pretext of distrust towards Prussia.
"From what we hear, the Prussian Government has
addressed to all the German Courts' a statement of the nego-
tiations which have taken place, and it is expected that
other German Princes will swell the list of those already
enumerated as about to meet at Baden-Baden. Perhaps,
also, a member of the Imperial House of Austria will be
present. We also learn that the Prince of Hohenzollern-
Sigmario gen will accompany his Royal Highness the
Prince Regent, not as Minister of State, but as a member
of the Royal family."

BEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE

WEEK.

(From the Registrar-[general's Report.)
The returns of London for the week that ended
last Saturday show a total number of 999 deaths,
and a decrease on that of the previous week, which
was 1,004. In the ten years, 1850-59, the average
number of deaths in the weeks corresponding with
last week will be found, after correction for increase
of population, to be 1,079. The present state of the
public health appears to be comparatively good; for
the deaths were less by 110 than they would have
been if the average rate of mortality for the first
week of June had prevailed.
The births in last week were at the rate of 242
a-day ; the deaths at the rate of 138, Therefore
the former exceeded the latter by 104 daily.
The mortality from smallpox continues to show
a tendency to decrease; 15 deaths from this disease
were returned last week, being rather less than the
weekly average of May, and decidedly less than
that of the earlier months of the year. It was fatal
last week in three cases in the St. Paul sub-district
of St. George-in-the-East. Scarlatina alsd declines ;
it was fatal in 22 cases, and diphtheria in 9. At
the present time measles is considerably more fatal
than any other zymotic disease, 51 children having
died from it. Of these cases 3 occurred in Chelsea
South sub-district, 3in Mile-end Old-town West, 3
in the London-road sub-district, and 6in Kenning-
ton, second part.
A labourer, aged 30 years, died from his clothes
taking fire in the workhouse at Bermondsey. A
boy, aged four years, was fatally scalded by upset-
ting a saucepan ; and a girl, aged one year, died
from burns received in a manner not described. An
infant was suffocated in bed; another, aged five
months, was suffocated by the string of her hat
getting into her mouth and throat; and an old Chel-
sea pensioner was choked by food. An infant was
murdered, and an adult died by manslaughter. A
man died at the age of 97 years. A young woman
sank under exhaustion of the nervous system, pro-
duced by a too frequent indulgence in the use of
tobacco, which she had both smoked and chewed.
And a woman died from traumatic tetanus, which
was the consequence of wounds inflicted on her
head by the spurs of a gamecock.
Last week the births of 842 boys and 849 girls,
in a 111,691 children, were registered in London.
In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1850-59
the average number was 1,560.
