Voltaire, whose frail body was enveloped in a
vast pelisse, but whose eyes still gleamed magically
bright from beneath the big Louis Quatorze wig of black
wool which—surmounted by a red cap trimmed with fur
—shaded his thin cheeks, came back to Paris to be madly
worshipped by the people; to be embraced, in public, by
the American Republican, Dr. Franklin; to be drawn
along the streets iu a sky-blue chariot studded with gold
stars, like a triumphal car in a pantornine ; to have his
bust crowned with laurels by nymphs at the theatre where
his pot pieces were performed ; to deliver an address at
the Academy, scarcely a word of which could be heard
because of overwhelming applause ; to have the house he
dwelt in thronged by worshippers, to whom the crowd
outside looked for news as to whether he had eaten the
white of an egg, or had put the finishing touches to his
last play ; to poison himself by an overdose of opium
which he took to calm his nerves, super-excited by adula-
tion; and, just before this last event, to be received as a
demigod at the Palais Royal.—The Gentleman's Magazine.

LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

THE COURT OF CHANCERY.
(Before Lord Justice Rolt.).
IN RE JOINT STOCK DISCOUNT COMPANY.-I3IPOR-
TANT LEGAL POINT.
This was an appeal from the decision of the
Master of the Rolls on the part of the petitioner,
Mr. Mason.
Mr. Cotton, Q.C., appeared for the petitioner,
and Mr. Al!cock, Q.C., for the respondents.
Mr. Cotton said that the Master of the Rolls had
struck off the name of a person named Sims as a
contributory to the company which had been
wound up. It appeared that Mr. Mann had ac-
cepted a large number of shares in the company as
a security, and that he subsequently transferred
twenty of these to Mr. Sims through his broker. This
transfer was duly made according to the regulations
of the association, which was a limited liability
company, and was executed in 1866. He contended
that according to the act of the company the usual
formalities in transferring shares might be dispensed
with. However, the Master of the Rolls took a
different view of the case, and, as Mr. Sims was an
infant when the transfer was made, released him
from all responsibility, and substituted the name of
Mr. Mason in his place in the list, which, he argued,
he had no right to do.
At the conclusion of the arguments,
His Lordship dismissed the appeal with costs..

THE MEMBERS FOR MAR YLPBONE AND
THE LORDS' AMENDMENIS TO THE
REFORM BILL. •

Yesterday afternoon Mr. Harvey Lewis and Mr.
Thomas Chambers, members for the borough of
Marylebone, visited,the Representative Vestry of St.
Pancras, for the purpose of explaining the various
measures which.. had been before Parliament during
the session, and the part they had taken with respect
to the same.

Mr. Churchwarden Furness occupied the chair,
and there was a large attendance of members.

Mr. HARVEY LEWIS, who was received with ap-
plause, said it was not his intention to touch upon
politics, but simplyaddress himself to subjects which
bad deeply affected the local interests of their con-
stituents. The hon. member then referred to the
Poor Bill of Mr. Gathorne Hardy and the bill for
rendering the Poor-law Board permanent, which
he and his colleague had strenuously opposed as
being destructive of their local rights and privi-
leges ; but supported as those measures were,
not only by the present but by the late Go-
vernment, such opposition had been ineffec-
tual. They had, however, been more successful
in their opposition to the Metropolitan Board Im-
provement Rate Bill, and hoped thoroughly to defeat
it, as being opposed to the interests of ratepayers
generally. After referring to and stating the posi-
tion of the gas and water bills in Parliament, and
expressing a hope that the clauses of the Reform
Bill would not in relation to the compound house—
holder produce that mischief achich was contem-
plated in parishes in reference to the collection of
rates, the hon. gentleman expressed a hope that his
Parliamentary conduct had been satisfactory to his
constituents. (Applause.)

Mr. T.IIO3IAS CHAMBERS took similar views of the
various matters which had been before Parliament
to those of his colleague, and strongly condemned
the principle of centralisation, and the determina-
tion which appeared to exist iu Parliament to de-
prive the people, and especially the citizens of the
metropolis, pf their ancient rights. (Hear, hear.)
He with his colleague had resisted these encroach-
ments as much as possible, but had unfortunately
not succeeded. He was sure their constituents
must have seen the difficulties they had had-to con—
tend with. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Chambers also con-
cluded amidst applause.
Mr. DOUGLAS wished to ask what the opinions of
the hon. members were about church rates, as he
could only see one member's name in the division
list for the abolition of church rates on Mr. Had-
field's motion.
Mr. 11. LEWIS said he voted for the abolition,
and had always been opposed to compulsory church
rates.

Mr. CHAMBERS replied, if there was any subject
upon which he had nude more speeches and given
more votes than another it was in opposition to
church rates; but it was impossible for a member to
be present at every division. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. Ross st.id no one could doubt either of their
members upon the church rates question ; but there
was a more important one, upon which the repre-
sented and the representatives should understand
each other, especially as some people complained that
both the members for Marylebone belonged to the
tea-room party. (Laughter.) The Lords were mak-
ing some very important and serious alterations in
the Reform Bill ; for instance, the increase of the
lodger franchise from £lO to £l5. Then there was
the attempt to introduce voting papers; and,
thirdly, there was the artful dodge of the three-
cornered system of voting. He thought they had a
right to know the opinions of their members on
these innovations.

Mr. H. LEWIS said he had studiously avoided
politics, but being asked questions he was bound
to answer. He and his colleague had supported
the Reform Bill of the late Government, and when
they found this session a still more liberal measure
they felt themselves bound in duty to their consti-
tuents to support it, and if possible to stop the agi-
tation so injurious to the trade of the country, and
especially to the working classes. (Hear.) lle felt
sure that no Reform Bill would prove satisfactory
that had not a lodger franchise, and he disapproved
entirely of its increase to £l5 by the Lords, as also
of the triangular voting and the voting by papers ;
and if he had an opportunity, when the bill came
back to the house of Commons, he would vote
against the Lords' amendments. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. CHAMBERS said his answer to the first point
was, that when he was a candidate for that borough
he gave one pledge only, and that was that he would
vote for the most liberal measure that any Govern-
ment could be found to bring in, and he had done
so as an act of solemn duty. (Cheers.) lie was
equally opposed with his colleague to the amended
£l5 lodger franchise and to paper voting. The
triangular voting would, however, affect so few
that he doubted if it was worth while to risk the
loss of the Reform Bill by its rejection. (Hear.)
On the motion of Mr. J. R. COLLINS, seconded
by Air. CRANE, a vote of thanks, approval, and
confidence in the members was carried with one
dissentient, amidst loud applause.

A Cabinet Council was held yesterday at the
official residence of the First Lord of the Treasury, in
Downing-street. The Ministers present were—the Lord
Chancellor, the Duke of Marlborough, the Earl of Malmcs-
bury, the Right Hon. Gathorne Hardy, Lord Stanley, the
Duke of Buckingham and Chandos, Sir John Pakington,
Sir S. Northcote, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the
Right Hon. H. T. L. Corry, Lord J. Manners, Lord Naas,

EXTRAORDINARY TAKE OF PORPOISES.—The
Ballycotton boatmen hemmed in a gre:-..t shoal of porpoises
on Sunday morning, and drove them into shallow water,
where upwards of 100 were captured. The animals ave-
raged from 10 to 12 feet in length. While congratulating
themselves on their unexpected haul the boatmen were
informed that a still larger shoal had made their ap-
pearance outside the bay, in the same place as the first,
and upon hurrying out foundthe report correct., an La-
mmas() number of porpoises being discovered. The same
put in practice, and

blindly to shore before the shouts and missiles of the boat-
men. Unfortunately the endeavotirs of a large crowd of
people on shore to secure a portion of the prey alarmed the
purpoises, who turned about, broke through the line of
boats, and made out to sea. The boatmen followed, and
again headed them to the land, but the conduct of the
people on shore led to the same result, and the boatmen
abandoned the chase. Before the spoil was divided an
earnest discussion took place as to the " luck" of the pro-
ceeding, many holding to the opinion that ill-fortune was
611r0 to follow the capture of eYelt a tingle porpoise.

POLICE INTELLIGEA-CE.—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

DARING ROBBERY OF A GENTLEMAN'S WATClL—William
Baker, a lad, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with steal-
ing a gold watch, of the value of £5O, the property of Mr.
Cornwallis Tottenham, a gentleman staying at the British
Hotel, Jermyn-street.
Mr. Tottenham was in Hanover-square, going towards
the Oriental Club, when the prisoner stepped up to him
and asked him the way to Brook-street, and seized his
watch out of his waistcoat pocket and made off, but after
running for about 100 yards he was stopped by a con-
stable.

Mr. George Manson, of No. 81, Oxford-street, proved
seeing the prisoner run from the prosecutor, and saw there
was no other boy near at the time.
Police-constable Moore, 187 C, said he had searched the
garden of the square but could not find the watch. Pre-
vious to stopping the prisoner he saw two females pass,
but did not notice anything passed to them.
Mr. Tyrwhitt committed the prisoner for trial.
