MEETING (THIS DAY.)

This morning a meeting of the parishioners of St. Mar-
tin-in-the-Fields was held at the Vestry-house, in accord-
ance with a requisition presented to the churchwardens,
signed by Lord 0 verstone, Sir J. W. llog,g, Bart., Mr.
Antrobus, Mr. Kinnaird, M.P., and other influential
inhabitants, to consider the propriety of esta-
blishing a volunteer rifle corps for that district.
The Rev. W. G. Humphry, 8.D., the vicar, pre-
sided, and in his opening address dwelt upon the advisa-
bility of establishing bodies of volunteers throughout the
country as the best means of securing peace.
Mr. SCOTT moved a resolution, which affirmed that it
was necessary to establish a volunteer rifle corps in the
royal parish of St. Martin.

Mr. ROSE, in a speech full of statistics, pointed out
the manner in which the French nation was increasing
its naval and military power, and contended that this
country ought to be prepared against danger, that much
of the extraordinary exertions which were being made
by the French could not be without an object.
The resolution was unanimously adopted.
Mr. Marshall, Mr. Dalton, Mr. Barton, Mr. Leonard,
Mr. Lamb, and other gentlemen spoke in favour of resolu-
tions establishing the corps as a section of the great body
which is to be raised by the city of Westminster, and it was
suggested that the practising ground might be that in front
of the barracks behind the National Gallery, or is front of
the Duke of Northumberland's house, if his grace would
permit it.

In the course of the meeting liberal subscriptions in aid
of the corps were aßnounced from the Duke of Northumber-
land, Lord Overstons, Sir W. Gomm, and many other gen-
tlemen.

It was arranged that three members of the committee
should attend at the adjourned meeting of the magistrates
and deputy-lieutenants which is to be held in a few days,
for the purpose of considering the way in which the local
sections shall be brigaded.

A cordial vote of thanks to the Vicar for presiding closed
the proceedings.

This cause came on to be mentioned this morning.
HillHonour, the Master of the Rolls, said—Having road
the short-hand writer's notes of the Judge's summing up
to the jury at the trial of this case, he remained of the same
opinion which he expressed yesterday, that the engine was
to be paid for only when the ship was built, and declared
accordingly.

Mr. Pellet, Q.C., said the agreements were exempted
from stamp duty under the old and now stamp acts.

Bill dismissed with costs.
PENNEL V. EARL OP DYSART.

His Honour, the Master of the Rolls, was of opinion that
the tenant in remainder was entitled to production of the
title-deeds of the estate for the purpose of taking copies,
without prejudice to the tenant for life establishing his
sig►ht to them or to the estate.

Him Honour declined to make any order for the preserva-
tion of the heir-loom property, the executors being liable
for neglect of duty, of any.

. _
His Honour ordered the dividends of the price of the
house in Hyde-park to be paid to the earl until further
orders, with liberty to apply, without prejudice, to any
claim Lord Dysart may bring as to the capital.

In the courts of law at Westminster, this morn-
ing, nothing of the slightest general interest occurred up
to the time of our going to press. In the Court of Queen's
Bench, Mr. Welsby occupied the Court with his arguments
in a case relative to the repair of a certain highway. Mr.
Hawkins occupied the Exchequer Court with a case of
illegal distraint ; and in the Common Pleas Mr. Huddle-
stone was heard in a cause arising out of a difference be-
tween goods delivered and the sample submitted.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY).

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

CURIOUS CHARGE OP FELONY.—James Uutchings, a
respectable-looking man, residing at 25, Noel-street, Soho,
and employed by Mr. Broadwood, as a cabinet maker, was
charged with stealing two advertising boards, one belonging
to Mr. Nayle, advertising agent, the other to the Great
Northern Railway Company.

Willy, 115 C, said lie saw the 'accused at a quarter to
three that morning, in Tottenham-court-road, with the
boards on his shoulder.. On asking him where he was going
he said that a gentleman gave him a shilling to carry them
for him to the end of Chapel-street. Ho told him he had
better take them back, and he afterwards ascertained that
they had been taken from the Bear and Castle-yard, Oz-
ford-street.

One of the boards having been identified by
Mr. Nayleas
his property,

♦ friend of the prisoner stepped into the witness box, and
said the accused was a very respectable man, and that ha
could not account for his acting as he had done, for he was
in good employ, and earning 325. a week. He thought ho
must have been drunk at the time.

Mr. Bingham said a short time ago his garden chair,
weighing 4001 b., was taken away, and it was found throe-
quarters of a mile off. Ho did not suppose that it was meant
to be stolen, only to give him a little annoyance. He should
deal with the accused as not being satisfied with his posses-
sion of the property, and order him to pay 75., advising him
not to touch such things in future. He thought Mr. Nayle
ought also to be obliged to the constable for looking after
his property.

The dense fog, and the departure of the afternoon train
for Shrewsbury, deterred a majority of the members from
congregating at "The Corner." Business was chiefly con-
fined to the squaring up of the Liverpool accounts. A few bets
were, however, made on the Shrewsbury Handicap,
which will be found quoted below. 3 to 1 was the
highest offer on the field The Squire being first
favourite. Four to one was offered against Timandra, and
those odds were taken and offered about Nucleus.

The Jockey Club meetings at Newmarket, Epsom, and
Ascot in 1860 having been fixed, we have endeavoured to
determine the period of other principal meetings, and shall
be obliged for any corrections and additions.
