ACT.

John Scholes, a person of middle age and respect-
able appearance, surrendered to take his trial on an
indictment which charged him with fraudulently
misappropriating a quantity of hay which was in
his possession as bailie ; there was a second count
charging him with having stolen it. The prisoner
was a small farmer, and was for some time a tenant
of the prosecutor, Mr. James H. Brooks, on a farm
in the neighbourhood of Stockport. He has recently
fallen in arrear with his rent, and in July last a
distress was levied. An agreement was then come
to, under which the hay in question was given up
to the prosecutor ; and it was part of the arrange-
ment that it should remain for the time being upon
the premises. In Sept. last the prisoner began to
deal with the hay without the consent or know-
ledge of the prosecutor, and sold it in lots to several
different persons, treating it as his own, ob-
taining the market price for it, and sending it
out by his own servants, in his own cart. When
called on to account for the hay he refused to say
to whom he had sold it, and ultimately he was ap-
,prehended on the charge of having fraudulently
disposed of it. He then gave as his reason for sell-
ing the hay that it had been undervalued. The
prosecutor in the course of his evidence admitted
that he had told the prisoner that he should be glad
if he could find a customer for the hay, but he added
that he had told him positively that he was not
to sell it, as he intended to be the seller himself.
His lordship was of opinion that the evidence failed
to support the first count of the indictment, but
summed up strongly against the prisoner upon the
second count, .for larceny, upon which count the
jury found him guilty.
The prisoner, who was recommended to mercy
by the prosecutor, was sentenced to imprisonment
for one month.

THE LUPINE, BRITISII FRIGATE, LOST IN 1799.
—Mt.. John Mayor Still, agent for Lloyd's at Amsterdam,
has s ant to the committee for managing the affairs of Lloyd's
the k sell and a part of the rudder of the Lutine frigate, sunk
off V lieland in 1799, recovered by the Terschelling Commis-
sion. Further attempts for the salvage of this wreck will
be ram le next year at convenient and favourable seasons.
The L utino sailed from Yarmouth on the morning of the
9th Os 3t., 1799, and was lost in a gale of wind on the even-
ing of : the same day off Vlieland, on the coast of Holland,
when . only two persons were saved, one of whom died in
Hells .nd, and the other immediately after his return to
Yarn Louth. She was t ommanded by a Captain Skinner,

THE CHRISTY'S MINSTREL'S.

Few entertainments ever took so well in Edin-
burgh as that given by Christy's Minstrels. Every
evening since their first performance the Waterloo
Rooms have been uncomfortably crowded in every
part with delighted audiences ; and on Saturday,
when they removed to the Music Hall, the same
inconvenience of lack of space to accommodate the
visitors was felt. Two or three things have contri-
buted to this extraordinary and long-continued suc-
cess. In the first place, the entertainment is in
itself excellent. The vocalists, if not remarkable
for their power of voice and brilliant execution,
can, at all events, sing a plain song in a highly-
creditable style—and that is agreeable, after what,
to the majority of a Scotch audience, however they
may affect the contrary, can only seem the musical
screaming of Italians ; while the instrumental
performance is attractive, the violin solo beautiful,
and the American dance unique, and wonderful as
unique. In the second place, the entertainment is
novel in character ; and, in the third place, accord-
ing to conventional notions, it can be safely at-
tended by those who dare not set foot in a theatre.
The stay of the Minstrels in Edinburgh is limited
to two nights ; and we should advise those of our
readers who have not seen them not to miss the
present opportunity of doing so.—Edinburgh Daily

SPAIN.

The Madrid journals of the 9th have reached us.
Rumours had been current that the Duke and
Duchess de Montpensier had resolved to leave Se-
ville to reside abroad, but the semi-official Corre-
spondancia asserts that such is not their intention.
An official return shows that the number of vessels
which protect the Isle of Cuba is 26, and that they
carry 381 guns. The Senate had held no new sit-
ting, and. the Congress was occupied with election
matters. In the former, General Prim, it is
stated, intends, in the debate on the address, to
propose a motion blaming the projected war with
Mexico. A circular of the Minister of the Interior
to governors of provinces directs that henceforth
public-houses, hotels, and similar establishments
shall not be opened without authorisation, and shall
have need of an annual licence; also that the
keepers of them shall register the names and occu-
pations of all persons who lodge in them, and shall
be subject to police regulations.

The King of Sardinia has issued a decree, order-
ing the usual annual levy of 250 men for the Royal

have been unconditionally set at liberty by order
of the Archduke Maximiliam.

In the Belgian Chamber of Representatives, on
Saturday, the 'Minister of Foreign Affairs informed
the Chamber that the Government had sent a
Consul-General to China to conclude a treaty and
collect such information as may be useful to the
commerce of Antwerp. Similar arrangements will
be made with Japan, Cochin China, and Siam.

Prince Raclziwill gave a grand supper on the

a fortnight in order to give time for the representa-
tives to apply to their respective Governments for
fresh instructions.

VENICE.

A letter from Venice, in the Corriere Mercantile
of Genoa, relates the following :—" On the night
of the 3d a violent explosion was heard here in the
quarter •of Santa Croce. The commissary of poliee
immediately proceeded to the house where it had
taken place, and finding that the master was in the
country, caused the door to be forced open, when
the fragments of a large bomb-shell were found
strewed about, but no indication of who had fired
the projectile. The master of the house returning
in the morning, he was arrested, but nothing was
elicited to inculpate him. At length it turned out
that the shell was one of those thrown into the
town in 1849, and that the culprit was a poor car-
penter who, having*already made some money by
selling fragments of shells picked up during the
siege, had fired this shell with a long pole, in order
to make it burst, and sell the pieces. He has been
arrested on a charge of having endangered the
safety of the quarter, where there are large ware-
houses of spirits, and other inflammable matter."
London, England, 1858-12-14

CONSOLIDATION OF JUDICIAL DECISIONS.

Mr. E. WEBSTER read a paper on the consolidir
Lion of judicial decisions. The decisions of the
judges were contained in 1,200 volumes, which were
increasing at the rate of 18 volumes a year.
The statute law was contained in ninety'
eight volumes, sand a new volume was
added every year. If a consolidation of the statute
law was considered expedient and necessary, much
more was a consolidation of the decisions of the,
judges desirable and urgent. After the adoption 01
a code a department of the government should be
invested with authority to receive the judicial de-
cisions on the code as soon as they were officially
communicated, and it. should be the duty of that
department to record the effect of each decision, on
the code, and to state to the Crown and to both
Houses of Parliament in what respect it would, if
at all, in consequence require amendment. In this
way the laws would be kept in an intelligible forint
suitors would be protected from the arbitrary deci-
sions of the courts, the machinery for the adminis-
tration of the laws would be kept uncorroded by
doubts and difficulties ; they would have no more
judgments sowing broadcast the seeds of litigation;
or exhibiting the fallibility of the most profoulia
judicial learning ; their laws would be contained in
a few volumes, to which the public could; in mail
cases, resort unaided by a jurisconsult.
It was moved and adopted that the paper be
printed and circulated, and taken into considera-
tion at a future meeting.

UNANIMITY OF JURIES.
The discussion on this subject, which occupied
the attention of the society on. two preceding even-
ings' was resumed. Mr. Percival, Mr. E. Web stet',
Mr. White, Mr. Edgar;Mr. Dimond, Mr. Hastings/
and Mr. Ashurst addressed the meeting. The sang)
dissidence of opinion which marked the sentiments
of the speakers on the previous occasions was mani-
fested on this ; and as it was deemed inexpedient to
pledge the society to an expression of opinion one
way or the other under such circumstances, the
report of the committee on the subject was simPlY
received.
The proceedings then terminated.

FRENCH ACADEMY OF SCIENCES.

• ARTIFICIAL PRODUCTION OF BONE,
This is the subject of perhaps the most curious
paper presented to the academy for many months
past. The reparatory action of the periosteum (or
membrane directly investing the bones) in repro-
ducing the osseous substance when partially lost
or destroyed either by accident or disease, is a well-
known fact, and various surgical operations are
founded upon it; but Dr. 011ier's experiments
presented to the academy at its last sitting throw
quite a new light on the subject. These experi-
ments, performed upon rabbits, are divided
into three series :-1. Long slips of perios-
teum were detached from the tibia throughout
their length, one of their extremities only being
left adherent to the bone. These slips were then
rolled around the muscles of the leg in various
ways, and iu the course of time bone was produced
in various shapes, as, for example, a spiral, an
8, &c. ! 2. In the second series of experiments,
the slips of periosteum were entirely detached from
the bone three or four days after the operation,
and notwithstanding this separation from its pri-
mitive source of life, the periosteum still continued
to produce bone. 3. In the third series, the pe-
riosteum was entirely detached from the bone at
the outset, and immediately transplanted to some
other region, under the skin of the shoulder or of
the back, for example ; still the periosteum pro:
duced bone. An advanced age, it appears, diminishes
this property of the periosteum, but does not com-
plete!v destroy it. The osseous tissue thus ob-
tained is real bone, similar to that of the rest of the
body. After a certain time a cavity is formed
within containing marrow, which derives nourish-
ment for three or four issues. In short, these curi-
ous experiments show that bane may be obtained
wherever the periosteum can be introduced; and
that a membrane may preserve its properties not-
withstanding its removal and transplantation. The
cure and treatment of fractures may be consider-
ably improved by these unexpected facts.

BEYROUTH.

A letter from Beyrouth of the 25th ult. says :
" The chief of the Ainsariis, in the Libanus, who
lately revolted, was killed in a combat which took
place on the 20th between his followers and the
troops of Tahir Pacha. His death puts an end to
the disturbances in his district ; but the general
situation of the Libanus remains deplorable, there
being disorders everywhere, and not only the in-
habitants of the same village but members of the
same family being in hostility with each other. In
the Koura, for example, a father the other day
shot his son dead for having joined in a rising
against the Camaican. In the plains of the
Bocah, near Damascus, a terrible affair has taken
place. Two nomad Arab tribes, the lahalans and
the Hennezis, being in hostility, the former on the
19th ult., assisted by some allies, attacked the
latter. The Hennezis, with their wives and chil-
dren, abandoned their tents, and the lahalans
penetrated amongst them. The Hennezis then
dividing themselves into three sections attacked
their foes with indescribable fury, and defeated
them, with, it is alleged, a loss of 3,000. But the
number stated is probably greatly exaggerated."

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.

NORTHERN CIRCUIT—LIVERPOOL, Dec. 13.
CROWN COURT.
(Before Mr. Justice Hill.)
THE FORREST EMBEZZLEMENT CASE.
John Forrest surrendered to take his trial upon
an indictment charging him with having embezzled
£3OO from Mr. H. B. Blundell, the proprietor of
several collieries at and near Warrington. Mr.
Simon appeared for the prisoner, who upon arraign-
ment pleaded Guilty.
Mr. Cross, who prosecuted, intimated that Mr.
Blundell's whole loss was nearer £7OO than £3OO.
Mr. Simon stated that the prisoner's wife kept a
shop for the sale of baby linen in Warrington, and
that as she had been rather unfortunate and had
made several bad debts, the prisoner had from time
to tune advanced out of his master's money various
small sums in order to enable her to meet her en-
gagements, and satisfy more urgent creditors. At
first the prisoner regularly repaid these advances,
but gradually the sum accumulated to the amount
in question, which he was unable to pay. Wit-
nesses were then called as to character.
l'Jr. Peter Rylands, of Warrington (a county ma-
gistrate, an alderman of the borough, and ex-mayor),
said. he had known the prisoner since his childhood,
and had always considered him strictly moral,
sober, and industrious. He believed that he com-
mitte d the present offence rather through weakness
than. from depravity, and that he intended at first
to refund the money.

RAILWAI' INTELLIGENCE.

LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN AO
CHESTER AND HOLYHEAD.
During the last fortnight rumours have been
spread that very serious differences existed between'
the above companies in reference to negotiations
an amalgamation of the interests of both.b In the
early part of the week it was believed that so lir;
terial was the dispute between the two companies
that a settlement of the terms between them 10,0
not likely to take place. It is satisfactory to stil'a
that, after several discussions, the London ana
North-Western board have agreed to guarantee ,e
dividend upon the ordinary share capital of t"f
Chester and Holyhead Company in the hands °
the public. For the years 1859 and 1860 the
don and North-Western are not to pay any 1.1:c r
dend on the ordinary share capital of the Cheste
and Holyhead; but in 1861 they guarantee to Pg
£ll,OOO, equal to 1 per cent,; in 1862, £22,0u,
equal to 2 per cent. ; and in 1863 and afterwarus.,
£27,500, equal to 21- per cent. on the ordinary,
share cap ital.

THE ARMY.

The prisoner Thomas Tole, 7th Fusiliers, who is
still under confinement at Chatham garrison await-
ing his trial for deserting to the Russians during
the war in the Crimea, will be brought before a
general court-martial as soon as the authorities at
the Horse Guards have been furnished with the re-
quired particulars connected with the transaction.
The statement which the prisoner is alleged to have
made is that he was taken prisoner by the Russians,
and that he did not desert. He states that when
he was taken prisoner he was in the ravine under
the heights of Inkerman, with a comrade of the same
corps, named Moore, and that they were both con-
veyed to Sebastopol, where his comrade soon died.
Tole states that he was afterwards sent prisoner to
St. Petersburg, but that he refused to be exchanged
with the other prisoners, remaining in Russia till

the termination of the war.
Yesterday the whole of the metropolitan divisions
of the enrolled out-pensioners of Chelsea Hospital
were out training. On Thursday they commence
battalion drill previous to the general inspection on
Saturday, when the veterans will be dismissed to
their homes.
Yesterday contracts were issued by the War-
office for the construction of a new range of bar-
racks on the western heights at Dover, to be exclu-
sively devoted to the married soldiers quartered in
the garrison contiguous to the barracks. Laundries
and spacious out-offices are to be constructed.
Assistant-Staff-Surgeon T. Ryan has been ordered

FOR LADIES.

NICOLLS' PATENT lIIGHLAND CLOAK
is a combination of utility, elegance, and comfort. No
Lady having seen or used such in travelling, for morning
wear, or for covering full dress would willingly be without
one. It somewhat resembles the old Spanish Roquelaire, and
has an elastic Capucine Hood. It is not cumbersome or heavy,
and measures from 12 to 16 yards round the outer edge, falling
in graceful folds from the shoulders ; but by a mechanical
contrivance (such being a part of the Patent) the wearer can
instantly form semi-sleeves, and thus leave the arms at
liberty ; at the same time the Cloak can be made as quickly
to resume its original shape. The materials chiefly used are
the soft neutral coloured shower-proof Woollen Cloths manu-
factured by this firm. The price will be two guineas and a
half for each Cloak ; but with the Mecanique and a lined
Hood a few shillings more is charged. This department is
attended to by Cutters, who prepare Mantles of all kinds,
with Velvet, Fur, or Cloth Jackets, either for in or out door
use. These at all times—like this Firm's Riding Habit—are
in good taste and flt well. Female attendants may also be seen
for Pantalons des Dames k Cheval, partially composed of
Chamois. As no measure is required the Patent Highland
Cloak can be sent at once to any part of the Country, and is
thus well adapted for a gift.

ously received and hospitably entertained. The
frigate, having encountered very bad weather since
leaving Bordeaux last Wednesday, put in at Spit-
head owing to some derangement of her engines,

neer establishment were sent off yesterday to attend

field-officers, 18 ladies, and 40 officers.
Yesterday several steam-tugs, built by Messrs.
Blyth, of Ilmehouse, for service on the Indian

SPAIN.

The Madrid journals of the 21st have reached us.
The corrected lists of electors had, pursuant to an
order from the Government, been stuck up on the
walls of the Ministerial offices, and in the most
frequented places, at Madrid, and crowds had col-
lected to examine them. The approaching elections
continue to excite interest not only in the capital
but in all the great provincial towns. The Peninsular
Correspondence, in a new article on them, in which
as usual, it defends the O'Donnell Cabinet, says :
- "This Cabinet has steered clear of the dangers
of reaction on the one hand and has known how to
avoid the exigencies of ultra-liberalism on the other.
It has now left to the nation to decide whether it
will consent to the moderate use of its rights and
the steady progress in public affairs which are the
natural result of an alliance between a confiding
monarch and a free people."
It was stated some time ago that the Govern-
ment had resolved to postpone the projected
expedition against the Riff pirates until after
the conclusion of the Mexican affair; but the
semi-official journals now state that the ap-
pointment of Lieutenant-General Prim to the com-
mand of an expedition has been definitively agreed
to, and that the number of the troops to be engaged
in it is to be 12,000. In spite, however, of this
very positive affirmation, a letter from a minis-
terial source declares that " nothing whatever has
been definitively settled on the subject." The
steamer Pizarro had left Alicante with troops for
Cuba. Letters from the seaports state that during
'the last few days the weather had been exceed-
ingly bad at sea. Letters from Seville state that
the Infanta Christina, daughter of the Duke and
Duchess de Montpensier, whose recovery was
almost despaired of a few days ago, is already out
of danger. Spanish journals state that it has been
resolved to establish regular lines of steam naviga-
tion between Santander, Bilboa, and London ; also
to cause the mail steamer between Alicante and
Marseilles to make two voyages a-week instead of

one.

this town, in connexion with the Limerick Com-
pany, whos e vessels by their connexion with this
port for the last year have been doing a very good
business. She cost £1,200, and was bought on the
Clyde a short time since, and I am glad to find that
she is insureel. Further particulars cannot be ob-
tained this e' rening."

MILITIA.

Yesterday detachments from the East Kent
Militia, encamped at Aldershott, were out recruiting
at Canterbury, Ashford, Dover, &c., to make up the
number of the regiment-230 men having volun-
teered into the regular army.
The Hampshire Militia Artillery, Col. the Earl
of Malmesbm7, have arrived at Plymouth, from Gos-
port, for garrison duty.
The Royal Lancashire Artillery Militia, Colonel
Aitchison commandant, have arrived at Dover. The
regiment numbers 29 officers and 414 rank and file.

nceuvres were executed, concluding a highly com-
plimentary- address by stating that he should re-
port most favourably of the regiment. This was
the first Welsh regiment embodied for permanent
service during the Russian war, when, out of a
quota of 328, it gave 184 volunteers to the
line. Though billeted upon innkeepers in the
town there has not been a single complaint against
the men. This corps several times volunteered for
foreign service during the Crimean war, and, not-
withstanding the number contributed to the line in
proportion to ito quota, is at present 63 over its
strength. It is understood that the Lord Lieutenant
will apply to the Secretary of State for two addi-
tional companies.

[ADVERTISEMENT].—Holloway's Pills and Ointment.—
For all skin diseases, however inveterate, these medicines
are a sovereign remedy. While the ointment passes through
the pores of the skin, as water saturates the soil, or as salt
penetrates meat, the pills act upon the blood, which they
correct and purify. The whole physical machinery is thus
rendered healthy, regular, and vigorous. The cure thus
effected is not partial and temporary, the diSease is entirely
and for ever driven from the system, and the patient need
not be apprehensive of its return. As these medicines have
no violent action, they do not necessitate any interruption

THE DEVONSHIRE ESTATES.

The Waterford Mail has the following statement
in reference to the contemplated disposal of a por-
tion of the vast Irish estates of the Duke of Devon-
shire :—" The Duke of Devonshire is (we learn)
anxious to lessen the mortgages which hang over
the property by the disposal of part of his Irish
estates, and wishes to sell the property in and about
Bandon, and also that in Youghal and Dungarvan ;
but he wishes to retain the Lismore estates, the
castle, and the property which extends towards
Tallow and along into the county Cork. The trus-
tees of the late Quentin Dick would purchase the
entire property if it were for sale, and they have
actually offered £1,000,000 sterling for the entire
'property, which would be rather over 20 years'
purchase on the rental."
EXPLOSION AND LOSS OF LIFE.
A morning paper (the Express) publishes a let-
ter from Tralee, dated Saturday evening, giving the
annexed account of the explosion of the boiler of a
steamer, followed by the loss of life and other
casualties :—" While the steamer the Weasel, which
has been employed for some time as a tender be-
tween the Canal Basin and the Samphier Roads,
where the Limerick and London Steamship Com.
