The above traffic returns continue to show a steady
improvement in the receipts of most of the principal
lines. The increase on the North-Western is
£2,736 ; on the Great Western, £1,707 ; South-
Western, £5OB ; Brighton, £1,404 ; Midland,
£2,747 ; Great Northern, £1,060 ; Lancashire and
Yorkshire, £2,847 ; North-Eastern, £1,123 ; Man-
chester, Sheffield, and Lincoln, £735 ; Grand Trunk
of Canada, £258 ; and Great Western of Canada,
£3Ol.

In the Railway Share Market the transactions
have been to a moderate extent, and the satisfactory
Character of the traffic returns of most of the
Principal lines has given support to values, the
aggregate advance, compared with yesterday,
being about 1, to -.15 per cent. Great Western and
South Western have improved ss. ; Eastern
Counties, Lancashire and Yorkshire, North Wes-
tern, and Midland, 10s. ; and Caledonian, 15s. ;
North British, North Eastern (Berwick), North
Stafford, and South Eastern receded about ss.
The Foreign and Colonial undertakings have been
very quiet, and prices show little variation. Great
~ .14uxembourg are a shade firmer ; Lombardo-Vene-
tian, East Indian, and Great Indian Peninsula are
at about previous rates.
Joint-Stock Bank Shares are steady. Ottoman
13ank improved L 1; London Joint Stock, 55.; and
London and County, ss.
In the Miscellaneous Market Peninsular and
Oriental Steam declined 55., and Royal Mail Steam

BONAPARTE A CANDIDATE FOR EMPLOYMENT IN
IRE ENGLISH SERVICE.—At the last ordinary meeting of
the Manchester Literary and Philosophical Society, the Rev.
Gaskell read the following extract from a letter of the
-"eV. Thomas Belsham (dated Hackney, Aug. 16,.1505),
containing an account of a visit which he had just paid to
the Duke of Grafton, in which the following passage occurs,
and Mr. Gaekell wished to know whether any member of the
society could confirm the statement made in it :—“Admiral
Crosb told me one circumstance whichwas curious. When
he way s commander-in-chief in the Mediterranean, during
tile last war, at the time that we were in possession of
Corsica, and when Sir Gilbert Elliott wai governor-general
of the island, General Paoli introduced Bonaparte, then a
Young man, to the governor and to the admiral, as a friend
of his who would be glad to be employed in the service of
England; but these wise men, not having Lavater's skill
in Physiognomy, rejected the proposal, which obliged Bo-
naparte to offer his services to the French, and this was
e rise of Bonaparte's fortune. I had often heard that
Bonaparte had offered his services to the English and been
r!?jected, but I hardly gave credit to it till I learned it from
Admiral Crosby himself." Mr. Hopkins and Mr. Roberts
said that, in their boyhood they had often heard a similar
statement made, but were not aware on what authority it
rested,—Manchester

LAW INTELLIGENCE- (THIS DAY)

ROLLS COURT.

(Before the Master of the Rolls, Sir John Romilly.)
IN THE MATTER OF COLSTON'S HOSPITAL.-FROM
CHAMBERS FOR JUDGMENT.

His Honour the Master of the Rolls said—This is aques-
tion whether the charity, known by the name of Colston's
Hospital, should be removed from St. Augustine's Back, a
place in Bristol, where it has remained since its foundation,
to a place called St. Stapleton's-park, in the immediate
neighbourhood of Bristol, about three miles from its
present station, and about two and a half miles from
the centre of the town of Bristol. His Honour, on review-
ing the evidence on •both sides, was satisfied that the trans-
ference from the old to the new site was for the benefit and
advantage of the charity. It had been urged in favour of
the present site, by gentlemen residing in the city of
Bristol, that this charity erection was a great ornament to
the city ; that it had a great effect, not only as an adorn-
ment of the place in the original erection of this charity, but
it was a perpetual testimony to Mr. Colston, the founder of
the charity, who was one of the citizens of Bristol when he
founded this charity. To the inhabitants of Bristol it was
a matter of the greatest importance to retain it in its pre-
sent site, not only as an incitement to benevolence, but also
in respect of its utility and convenience. His Honour con-
sidered he was not entitled to give effect to these local sen-
timents in opposition to the real interest of the charity.
He thought it was for the benefit of the boys to transfer the
building from the old to the new site. They would have
better air and snore healthy exercise, and would be enabled
to attend the annual birth-day processions in Bristol, in com-
memoration of the founder, the same as formerly. He
thought the transference from the old to the new site was
beneficial .for all parties, and he was supported in this
opinion by the opinions of a large majority (almost unani-
mous) of the governors, managers, and nominees of the
charity and most of the influential citizens and burgesses of
Bristol. He regretted, however, that there was a respect-
able minority, and in particular the heir of the family of
the founder, who was in favour of the present site ; but the
preponderance of evidence was greatly in favour of the trans-
ference to the new site. His Honour decreed the removal of
Colston's Hospital from St. Augustine's Back, Bristol, to
St. Stapleton's-park, near Bristol. A reference was made
to chambers to consider the best mode of carrying the
order into effect. No costs on either side, but the nominees
will have their costs and the Attorney-General his costs.

place on the premises of Mr. Wilkshire, in the Whitechapel-
road, on the night of the 12th or morning of the 13th of
January last, when property to the amount of £675 was
stolen therefrom.

Two persons, named Jacob Ferrier and Caroline Parker,
upon whom 11 stolen watches were found, have already
been committed for trial for the burglary and robbery.
Joseph Brown, a police constable of the City force, stated
that yesterday afternoon, in consequence of information, he
watched the prisoner in Fleet-street, and saw him come out
of a pawnbroker's shop with a watch in his hand. He asked
him where ho obtained it, to which he replied that he
bought it of a man named Reynolds. He asked him where
Reynolds lived. The prisoner said "He used to live in
Charles-street, Commercial-road, but I don't know where
he lives now." He asked the prisoner the number of the
house, and his reply was, "I don't know the number, it is
from 25 to 30." He then told the prisoner he had informa-
tion that the watch was stolen. The prisoner said " I was
not aware it was stolen ; I had it from Mr. Reynolds for a
debt he owed'me." He took the prisoner to the station, where
he repeated what he before said, and said to the inspector,
" I have another watch in my pocket, perhaps you will say
that is stolen." He found two more watches, and they were
both identified.

Mr. George Wilkshire, jeweller and watchmaker, of No.
245, Whitechapel-road, said his house was broken into on
the night of the 12th of January, and watches and jewellery
to the amount of £675 stolen. A hole was made in the wall
in the cellar of an adjoining house. He identified two of
the watches produced as his property. They were stolen
on the night of the burglary. He knew the prisoner, who
had once offered to sell him some watches.

Mr. J. R. Collins, of the East 'lndia-road, identified a
third watch taken from the prisoner. It was stolen on
Monday last from a young gentleman, named George
Fowler, in the Commercial-road East. The young gentle-
man was now at school in Morden, Surrey.
Mr Elliott remanded the prisoner for a week.

SINGULAR BETTING CASE.-IMPORTANT JUDGMENT.-

Majority for James.. 411
ELEVEN O'CLOCK.

BOLTON V. MARSHALL.

Plaintiff and defendant. are fellow-servants, at the Auc-
tion-mart, Ludgate-broadway, and the amount sought to
be recoverefl was 55., alleged to have been lost to defendant
ais a bet. The circumstances are somewhat peculiar, and
the cause arises out of " chaff." According to plaintiff's
account, one night defendant came into the wareroom, and,
instead of going on with his work, offered to bet with any-
body, upon anything, and to any amount. Plaintiff refused
to bet at first, but, after some joking, he accepted the fol-
lowing curious wager :—Defendant laid one half-crown to
two that he would finish his work before plaintiff made out
all his accounts. Plaintiff declared that he only took the
wager to humour defendant. "In fun," ho put
down 55., which defendant took up, and handed to
a third person, with his own stake of 2s. 6d.
This being somewhat beyond a joke, rather alarmed Mr.
Bolton, and ho demanded his money back. Defendant said,
" Oh, no—a bet's a bet and must stand." As defendant
had been devoting some of his leisure time to a sacrifice at
the shrine of Bacchusr, plaintiff humoured him still further,
and went on with his accounts. At twelve o'clock plaintiff
had not finished his work, and defendant claimed the stakes.
Plaintiff told the stakeholder not to hand over the money,
but defendant said he had fairly won the money, and have
it he would. The money was then handed to him.
Defendant denied that he had been imbibing from the
flowing bowl, and declared that he was perfectly sober. The
bet was a unanimous one, and he (defendant) did not hear
plaintiff demand his money back.

OUT OF COURT.-SCHOENEGA.N V. HOW.

This was a case that had been "settled out of court"
after plaintiff had paid the hearing fees.
Mr. Buchanan, who appeared for the plaintiff, called that
person, and said that the plaintiff and defendant had come
to terms out of court, and that all plaintiff now wanted was
his hearing fees and costs.
His Honour—l could not think of such a thing. Plain-
tiff was out of court. (Laughter.)
Mr. Buchanan—Oh, no ; he is in the box now. (Laugh-
ter.)
His Honour—Yes, he is there, certainly, individually ;
but in law we can't see him. He should have settled for
his costs with the debt.

Mr. Buchanan—Well, I can only act up to my instruc-
tions. You have our hearing fees, though you won't see
us. (Laughter.)
