4. ROYAL DUBLIN SOCIETY.

21. A full report of the working of the society is pub-
16hed. It will, therefore, be sufficient if I direct atten-
tion to a few leading points in regard to it.
It is gratifying to find that the society recognise the
importance of preventing the waste of public money in
the purchase of collections analogous to those made by
the Industrial Museum, which is not only situate in the
same city, but in an adjoining square. A careful adhe-
rence to the distinct objects of the two museums will,
in the future, lead to much public advantage. It might
be worthy of consideration, whether it would nut be
desirable to make an interchange of existing specimens
between them, when such specimens belong more pro.
perly to the objects represented by each respectively.
The museums and gardens of the society continue in
an efficient and improving state. The botanical garden
is now open for three days in Use week free, and on
two days for 63. for adu'ts, and 3d. for chi'dren.
The library is open on every week day frown 11 to 5
o'clock. Unfortunately, at these hours, the working
classes—busily engaged during the day—are little able
to avail themselves of the exoellent library possessed by
the society. The new buildings now being erected for the
museum and library may enable the council to gratify the
desire which th-y entertain to secure to tbo public fur-
ther advantages in studying both. The following re-
turns indicate the visit.rs to the different services of the
society during the last and preceding years, with the
exception of the general lectures described under the
head " Committee of Lectures" :

RUSSIAN ACCOUNTS fRO,II THE
CRIMEA.

••ZIP
•
We read in the Courrier d'Odegsa :—Tbe enemy's
troops have finally quitted the whole of the Crimea, and
the following is the successive order of their departure :
Kinbourn was evacuated on the 16th of May, Eupatoria
on the 30th ; Yenikale on the 20th, and Kertch on the
22d June ; Sebastopol, with its environs, Balaklava and
the Bay of Kamiesh, on the sth of July. At Eupatoria,
as at Balaklava, Kamiesh, and Kertch, only a few
foreign traders have remained of various nationalities,
who have not yet succeeded in exporting or selling all
their goods and the wooden huts they possess. As soon
as the enemy quitted these towns steps were taken for
purifying them in conformity with the regulations laid
down by the sanitary pOlice; the inhabitants then entered
them, when the civil and judicial authorities were re-
established. Aide-de.Camp General Connt Stroganoff,
Governor• General of New Russia and Bessarabia, com•
menced, between the 14th and 21st of July, a tour of
inspection along the coasts of the Crimea on board the
steamer Andia, with a view to ascertain in person whe-
ther all the measures he had thought it his duty to order
had been carried out. He particularly remarked, with
extreme satisfaction, the rapidity with which Kertch is
rising again from the destruction of which it had been
the scene. In
,three weeks order has been completely
restored there—all the streets are already almost entirely
freed of the fi th that encumbered them; the inhabitants,
on their return to the town, are busily employed in re-
constructing their dwellings, and the sale of alimentary
articles is again going on in the markets. The inhabi•
tants of the neighbourhood have also resumed the culti-
vation of their fields.

A sum of 20,000 silver roubles has been assigned by
way of succour to the inhabitants of the Vitebsk Go-
vernment, the hsrvest in which may be looked upon as
almost a general failure.

A letter from Taganrog to the Journal of Odessa, says
that the crops are very promising in the governments of
Voronega, Poltava, and Kharkoff.

COINAGE OF THE SYDNEY MINT.

(From the Times' City Article)
Subjoined is a communication on the anomalous
results consequent upon the refusal of the Home
Government to allow the coinage of the Sydney
Mint to be identical with the coin of the realm.
Out of about 1,200,000 sovereigns issued during the
past year at Sydney, it is believed that half have
been sent to this country and melted into bars.
That there can be no plea for any distinction being
made seems to be evidenced by the fact that all
the arrangements of the Sydney Mint are con-
ducted in strict conformity with the system in
London. The experience of the United States,
moreover, may be held conclusive on that point,
since no discrepancies have ever been found to
arise between the head Mint at Philadelphia and
the branches at New Orleans and San Francisco,
although the position of the latter is perfectly
analogous to that of our branch at Sydney. It ap-
pears, therefore, that the course adopted by the
Treasury must have been wholly unnecessary on
the score of safety, and that it causes nothing but
a waste of labour and the establishment of a formal
distinction between the mother country and a
colony whiCh on all matters of commerce and
finance we should bring into assimilation with us
as much as possible :
"Sir,—You have recently given facts and figures
showing the success that has attended the establishment
of a branch of the Royal Mint in Sydney. It appears
that upwards of 1,157,000/. were coined during the first
year of the Mint's existence.
"Are you aware that a large number, possibly one-
half, of the coins thus made have now no existence,
having been sent to England, where they are purchased
as bullion and melted and transmitted to the continent
in bars and ingot; !
"I shall be obliged if you will allow roe to ask why
the Australian sovereign has any device on it to distin-
guish it from the sovereign cast on Towershill?
"The Royal Mint has an establishment in London
and one at Sydney, both under the same control.
"The Lords of the Treasury appoint the officers and
issue the regulations for both establishments. The
colonial authorities have no power in either case. The
Legislature of the colony votes the supplies, and it it
ceased to do so the Mint in Sydney would be closed ;
but while it remains open they have nothing more to do
with it. Even the pyx is sent to England to be tried.
Iu short, it is in reality what it is in name, a branch of
the Royal 4Mint, superintended, as it ought to be, by
officers of the Imperial Governinent,and the coin vouched
for by the Crown.
" Why should not the natural consequence follow,
and the coin have the same currency throughout the
Queen's dominions as if made in London 7

MUSIC.

EXETER-HALL.

There was a concert last evening at Exeter-Hall ; the
principal performers being the singers who formed the
company at Drury-lane during the recent performances
of Italian operas. The programme was entirely made
up—things quite familiar to a musical audience, but very
well calculated to entertain a popular assembly.
The chief attractions were Grisi and Malmo, both of
whom exerted themselves greatly and with immense
success. They sang together Thnizetti's duet " Tin
tenero core," from Roberto Devereux. Mario sang Hat-
ton's pretty ballad, " Good bye, sweetheart," most
charmingly—with a simplicity, expression, and propriety
of English elocution which might serve as a lesson even
to the best of our native ballad-singers. Grisi sang the
air " Tacea la notte," from the Trovatore, in which opera
she appeared for the first time i❑ London on Saturday
night. The other principal performers last night were
M. and Madame Gassier, Formes, Madame Amadei,
Messrs. Lorini, Albieini, and Tennant. Their exertion-
were well received by a numerous audience, everything
being warmly applauded, and many things encored.

PARIS, MONDAY.
The Emperor, it is thought, will return' to St.

on the 15th for Fontainebleau.
The Moniteur contains a decree promulgating a
treaty of commerce concluded on the 17th of April,
1852, between Frarce and the Republic of Liberia.
" An Italian journal," says the Constitutionnel,
" has spoken of discussions which it declares have'
taken place between the Emperor and Prince
Jerome relative to the completion of the tomb of
the Emperor Napoleon I. The journal in question
is ill-informed ; we believe that if the works of the
tomb of Napoleon I. have not been terminated, it
is because the projects of his Majesty with respect
to them are not yet definitively fixed."
The following telegraphic despatches have been
received to-day :

" banitEiLLEs, 3d.—Accounts have been received
from Constantinople to the 27th ult. Baron de Prokesch,
the Austrian ambassador, and Lord Stratford de Red-
cliffe have visited the nosy ministers, and urged the pro-
longation of an occupation of the Principalities and of
the Black Sea. Some disturbances have broken out in
the neighbourhood of Jerusalem. Abd-el.Kader has re-
turned to Damascus. Some disturbances have taken
place hi that city, in which a French medical man was
knocked down by some of the fanatic people. The con-
sul has obtained the arrest of several of the guilty
parties. Another shock of earthquake was felt at Broussa
on the 22d, but no serious injury was caused. The
Greek Chambers have been convoked for the 12th inst.
The export of corn is interdicted until July, 1857."
"BERLIN, Ist.-79e Grand Duchess Constantine has
arrived here. The Czas announces that France and
Russia are agreed in their view of regarding affairs. The
Presse of Vienna denies any hostile idea on the part of
the Emperor Napoleon."
"MtDRID, 31st—The Duke d'Ossuna has boen named

L)NDON, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1856.

The Town Council of Manchester have decided
on addressing Lord PALMERSTON on the occasion
of his visit to the manufacturing
metropolis.
The compliment may, however, be regarded as
" vox et preterea nihil." The address will not be
presented in a gold or even a silver-gilt box; nor
have they invited him to dinner or even to lunch.
As the Hibernian gen tleioan who, dropping in at re-
fection time, was rather coolly bowed out, asserted
"There was not the.slightest curiosity manifested
as to whether he had a mouth wherewith to enjoy
the good things of life." This was a gravo mis-
take, particularly ;,u, W 116n:we consider the convi-
vial qualities of the Noble Plemter, and the
ample compensation wh:ch he could have returned
in the way of entertaining his attertairters. Never
could a sovereign or two be productive of a more
agreeable evening than that which procured the
subscriber a good dinner in company with one
whose qualifications at the festal board aro ad-
mitted to be unrivalled. The men of Manolieger,
by their unnma/ nigzardlinseq for it is bat an
act of simple justice to say that they exhibit
eltraordinary liberality on many occasions—have

let slip -a golden opportunity. They,
however,
seemed determined to respond to the gentle hint
in the easiest., manner possible. Even the address
itself contains some sly touches of sarcasm which
might have been spared. It significantly hinted
fit the groat variety of offices held by the Noble
Lord in anon eyery department of the state.

AUSTRIA.

A letter from Vienna of the 29th ultimo, in the
German Journal of Frankfort, says :—,6 Prince
Esterhazy, who represented Austria at the fetes of
the coronation, went the day before yesterday to
Ischl to give the Emperor an account of his sojourn
at Moscow. Reports are in circulation in aristo-
cratic circles relative to the reception given to the
Prince at Moscow, from which it would appear
that
a n A
very Austria
uooirtaatl present regarded by Russia
with e eye, and that with the stra
fa
ex-
ception of England no nation is held in great dis-
fasevvoeruarl
by
the Czar. The Emperor Alexander on
occasions gave Prince Esterhazy to under-
stands this, by not entering into a long conversation
with him, and by only distinguishing him in the
fetes as his rank strictly required. At one fete,
when the Emperor could not avoid exchanging a
few words with him, he said :—‘ My dear Prince,
I am very pleased to see you here ; I only wish
that you were not an Austrian, that I might give
you all my confidence.' We only give these words
under all rederve. Prince Esterhazy, on his side,
does not bring with him any very pleasing impres-
sions as to the state of things at St. Petersburg,
and particularly as to the plans of reform of the
Emperor."

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.
,Before Mr. Justices Creswell, Crowder, and Willes.)

PRICKET V. BADGER.

Mr. M. Chambers moved for a rule to show cause
why the verdict in this case should not be set aside on
the ground of misdirection. This action was tried at
the last Guildford Assizes, when a verdict of 501. was
returned for the plaintiff. The plaintiff is a land and
house agent, of Holborn, and the defendant is the Lord
of the Manor of Highbury, and employed the plaintiff
to sell 14 acres of land in the Seven Sisters Road, for
not less than 6501. per acre. The plaintiff found a pur-
chaser, after which it was discovered there was a dispute
about the title, and the purchase was not completed.
The action was brought for services rendered.
Rule granted.

IN RE COLLOP.

Mr. Bernard moved for a rule to enable a married
woman to dispose of her property. It appeared that she
was married in 1829, but owing to the dissipated habits
of her husband was separated from him in 1855, and
since that he had been convicted of felony at Chelms-
ford, and sentenced to fifteen years' transportation, and
she bad not seen or heard of him since.

AN ECCENTRIC LANDLORD-TANNER V. RARFORD.

This was an action for the recovery of rent for the use
and occupation of a house. It appeared from the evidence
that the plaintiff is the son of a person who possessed
duiing his lifetime a considerable quantity cf house pro-
perty in the neighbourhood of London, and who was
also a very eccentric person, and, amongst other eccen-
tricities, he possessed the very uncommon one of never
making his tenants pay up their rent, and from careless-
ness or a mistaken notion of kindness he allowed his
house property to get into arrears to the extent of a
1,0001. a-year. Tho house in question is situated in
Whitechapel, and was held by the plaintiff's father, by
lease from St. Thomas's Hospital. The first lease was
granted in 1814, ,for 28 years, the defendant shortly
after becoming tenant of the plaintiff's father, continuing
in possession up to the present time. In 1846 the
plaintiff's father had a new lease granted him for a period
of 30 years, and in consequence of his not keeping up
the insurance according to the terms of the deed, as it
was alleged by the trustees of St. Thomas's Hospital,

HILL V. KENSITT.

Mr. Knowles, Q.C., moved for a rule to show cause
why a new trial should not he granted in this case, on
the ground that the verdict was against evidence. The
action was tried at the sittings after last term, before the
Lord Chief Baron, and a verdict returned for the plain-
tiff. The action was for goods sold and delivered in the
shape of clothes. The defendant pleaded that he was
not liable, being under age ; to which there was a re-
plication that the goods were necessaries. It appeared
that the defendant was articled to his father, a city
attorney, who supplied him with ample credit at a city
tailor's, and he was at the time he contracted the
plaintiff's debt 11! years of age. The city tailor supplied
the son with goods, who no doubt the father °moldered
would fashion his son according to cut and fit sufficient
for an articled clerk in the city. The son, however,
appeared to fancy the west-end cut and fashion, and
called on the defendant, to whom, it was said on the
trial, he was introduced by a banker ; but on cross-
examination the banker did not sustain his character,
but appeared to be a youth about the defendant's own
age. On that introduction the goods were supplied, and
great stress was laid, at the time of the trial, on the
goods having been sent to the father's residence ; but
that he (the learned counsel) contended had nothing
to do with the case, which rested on the question
whether the defendant was not sufficiently supplied,
and that the goods in dispute were not necessary. The
learned judge very fairly left the case to the jury, who
found for the plaintiff, as juries generally did in such
cases. The plaintiff had the singular good fortune to have
four tailors on the jury.

Mr. Baron Alderson—Then there was not a full jury?
,Laughter.)

Mr. Knowles said he did not move on that ground.
(Laughter.) No doubt the plaintiff thought he had a
very fair jury, and no doubt appreciated our glorious
institutions, especially trial by jury, when he got home
and congratulated himself on the verdict. (Laughter.)
The bill amounted in six months to 321. 6s. ready
money, or 861. 17e. 6d. for credit, and comprised four
coats, rather more than four waistcoats, and four pairs
of buckskin angola trousers, for which latter he appeared
to have a marked predilection. (Laughter.) During
this time the City tailor was supplying the defendant
with similar articles in the City style, not omitting the
buckskin angola trousers. (Laughter.)
The Lord Chief Baron, after consulting his learned
brethren, said he thought sufficient had been stated by
the learned counsel for the issue of a rule for the reduc•
tion of the amount of the debt. Ho thought there were
some points in the case that required further considera•
tion.

plaintiff's debt 13 years of age. The city tailor supplied
the eon with goods, who no doubt the father oonsidered
would fashion his son according to cut and fit sufficient
for an articled clerk in the city. The son, however,
appeared to fancy the west-end cut and fashion, and
called on the defendant, to whom, it was said on the

AN AUDITOR.

Mr. Tomlinson moved fur a rule to show cause why a
mandamus should not issue to the vestry of St. Pancras,
directing them to appoint au auditor of accounts, in pur-
suance of an order of the Poor Law Board of the 21st of
August last.
Lord CaLaphell inquired what reason the vestry gave
for not obeying the order.
Mr. Tomlinson said the vestry had not given any rea-
son. Teey only stated that they did not intend to make
the appointment unless they were compelled to do so by
a writ of man laintp. He surmised, however that they
proposed raising a question which had been discussed
several times—that under local acts they were entrusted
with the power of appointing or not appointing an audi-
tor, as they thougLt proper.

STIFF V. SUITS- ALLEGED BREACH OF CONTRACT.

Tois action was tried before Mr. Justice Erle, at Guild-
ford, when a verdict waa fund for the plaintiff—dam-
age 3, 251 ; with leave reserved to apply to enter a nonsuit.
Mr. Edwin James, in now moving for a rule to show
cau:e why a nonsuit should not be entered, stated that
the acti'm was brought by Mr. Stiff, the proprietor of
the London Journal, against the defendant, Mr. Smith,
a literary gentleman., for the breach of an agreement, by
which the latter undertook "n certain conditions to write
a tale for that publication. The question was, whether
two letter; atti;oirited to a contract of the nature alleged
by the plaintiff viz.. One restricting the defendant from
writing fir any other work of the same description. On
the 27th of Feb„ 1855, Mr. Stiff wrote to the defendant
pc,yinir, that if the latter would write two tales for the
Louden Journal; to extend over the period of a year, he
would give him 10!. for each weekly number, but on
condition that he would not write for any other publica-
tion which was sold for a price less than 6d. Mr. Smith
replied by a letter, in which he said the engagement was
perfectly satisfactory.

Lord Campbell—lle accepted the agreement with that
condition ?

Mr. E. J>tmea—Two breaches are alleged._ the first,
not continuing to write for the London Journal ; and
the other, writing for another paper: and the verdict was
given generally. We say that the plaintiff may be entitled
to recover damages for the first breach, but not for the
second ; as we contend that the defendant was not by
that agreement restricted from writing for another paper.

Last evening the usual dramatic performances were
resumed at this theatre with the " Busy Body," and a
variety of other entertainments. The great event of the
evening was the reappearance of Mr. Charles Mathews
after a long absence from London. The celebrated
comedian was honoured with a " reception," which
lasted some minutes. Never was he more enthusiasti-
cally greeted, and never did he prove himself more
worthy of admiration than by his delineations of Mar-
plot in the "Busy Body," and the chief character in
"Cool as a Cucumber," on the present occasicia. Mr.
Mathews was heartily and deservedly applauded
throughout his performances, and called for three times
in the course of the evening.

Last evening the usual dramatic performances were
resumed at this theatre with the " Busy Body," and a
variety of other entertainments. The great event of the
evening was the reappearance of Mr. Charles Mathewe
after a long absence from London. The celebrated
comedian was honoured with a " reception," which

worthy of admiration than by his delineations of Mar-

The house was crowded in every part.

LYCEUM.

Mr. Whitehead's three-act drama of the "Cavalier'
was revived here last night.

Mr. Dillon, as Captain Hargreaves, played with great
force and pathos, but the part is scarcely so well adapted
for him as those in which he has already appeared. Mrs.
Dillon, as the true-hearted wife, persecuted by libertine
courtiers, acted with much feeling, and with her hus-
band was called forward at the end of the second act.

After "The King's Musketeers" a new farce was
produced, under the title of "Doing the Hansom." It
was entirely successful, a result doubtless largely owing
to the spirited acting of Mr. J. L. Toole. This gentle.
man represents a country youth who, called up to Lon-
don to receive a legacy, puts up at an inn bearing the
sign of the Red Lion. Leaving his inn without the
knowledge of the locality, he finds himself in a Hansom
cab, traversing the town and calling at numberless Red
Lions in vain quest of the right one. Being (of course)
without his purse, his only resource is to endeavour to
dodge the cabman, which he tries to do by feigning to
have business at a house, hoping to pass through un-
observed. He is encountered, however, by the master
of the house, one of those absurd old gentlemen who
exist only in farces, and who, by a series of equivoques
mistakes the intruder for an expected suitor for his
daughter's band. The cabman, however, has found out
his debtor, who endeavours to pass him off as a country
friend ; and a series of absurdities occur, ending in the
recognition of the cab victimiser, who obtains his legacy
and supersedes the expected bridegroom in the good
graces of the absurd old gentleman's daughter.
Mr. Toole, who played with unflagging vivacity and
animation, is evidently becoming a favourite with his
audience, and was greeted throughout with loud laugh-
ter and applause.
