BITRLEIGH.

This was an action to recover LI commission and £lO
for illegal discharge, defendant being a surgeon dentist.
When the case was called on plaintiff did not appear, and
Mr. George, for defendant, applied for costs, which were
granted. It was casually stated that defendant was the in-
ventor of a valuable corn solvent, and that plaintiff had
been employed as agent. Since his dismissal it was stated
that plaintiff had set up for himself, and a small handbill
was produced stating " A bunion is a swelling on the ball
of the great toe, arising from a blow or very great pressure
from an ill-shaped boot, and consists of a small bag of
water between the knuckle of the joint, &c." Further on
it states that " Dr. Buchan's anodyne is composed of eight
of the strongest alleviators of pain, and can be had of al
bootmakers.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

ATTEMPTED FRAUD ON A TRADE SOCIETY.—Henry
Banman, bootmaker, was charged with endeavouring to
obtain money under false pretences from the Secretary of
the West-end Boot and Shoemaker's Society.
Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, ap-
peared on behalf of the society, which he stated assisted
journeymen when out of employ. The prisoner was
charged with endeavouring to obtain money by false pre-
tences. The society consisted of four branches—the West-
end men's society, the West-end ladies' society, the boot
closer's society, and the heavy boot• society, and had both
provincial and metropolitan lodges where assistance was
rendered to workmen on application at the different towns
in search of employ, and the funds of the society were dis-
pensed by means of cards given to the applicants to re-
ceive assistance in the different towns through which
they pass. No workmen, however, was entitled
to possess more than one card. On Saturday
afternoon last the prisoner applied to the Female
Bootmakers' Society, and obtained the necessary assistance
on the production of his card, and on the same night ap-
plied to the Men's Bootmakers' Society and produced a
similar card, but in another name. In this case he was not
successful in obtaining any money. the forgery being de-
tected, and he was subsequently given into custody, a third
card being found on him when se arched. He (Mr. Lewis)
wished to state that the society, having discovered nume-
rous forgeries of late had been practised on them, and that
their charity had been abused, had determined to prosecute
in all cases where they discovered the offenders.
Mr. Lewis then made out a prima facie case, and asked
for a remand to complete the evidence.
The prisoner was remanded.

THE CASE OF LOVE AND FRAUD.—Vincent COHUCCi,
the Italian artist, of 22, Ovington-square, Brompton, was
again brought before Mr. Mansfield charged with defraud-
ing Miss Frederica Johnstone, of York House, Twicken-
ham, of the sum of £1,900 by false pretences, vim., that a
certain parcel contained love letters, whereas it only con-
tained old newspapers.

Sergeant Parry (instructed by Mr. Lewis, jun., of Ely-
place) prosecuted, and Mr. D. D. Keane, barrister (in-
structed by Mr. Collette, of the firm of Prichard and
Collette, Lincoln's-inn-Fields) defended.
The interest in the case had not in the slightest abated.
The court, as on former occasions, being most incon-
veniently crowded, several gentlemen being accommodated
with seats on the bench.

It is unnecessary to allude to what has transpired of the
case, the facts being fresh in the memory of the public.
On the prisoner being placed at the bar an interpreter
was sworn, and said he had interpreted letter A, and it was
a fair translation, as also those marked B, C, D, E, F, G.

Mr. Keane—You will be here to translate some letters if
I should ask you to do so.
Interpreter—Yes.

Mr. Keane—Are you an Italian by birth ?
Interpreter—Yes.
Mr. Keane—Take the letter of the 17th August to the
lady, and tell me the expression of " By God."
The interpreter did so.

Sergeant Parry then read the letter beginning " No, no,"
already given, ending, " You have three days for reflection,"
and then read the letier marked E, addressed to Mr. John-
stone, and then another already given, in which prisoner
said he would give Miss Jobnstone's letters to a magistrate.
Sergeant Parry said—These letters being put in, and the
translations, will complete this lady's evidence.
Mr. Keane—Where is the seal, Miss Johnstone, you pro-
duced the other day ?
Miss Johnstone—T did not produce one.

Sergeant Tanner produced the seal.
_ __ _ _

Miss Johnstone (cross-examined by Mr. Keane)—l gave
him the seal in exchange for another. I lent it to him.
The device was not the same as on this. It was an antique
—a small lyre or harp, but I have not got it here. I cannot
remember where I got it, it WiS long ago when I was a
child, and the only one of the kind I have. Ido not know
when I gave it to the prisoner, On the whole, I told the
prisoner that he had had more than £2,000 besides the last
money. It was not givcn as gifts—but £3OO for a painting.
Mr. Keane—Ycu have to answer all the questions, so
pray keep your temper.

Miss Johnstone—About February, 1858, ho expressed
great desire to see his mother. lie said he had had to
escape, leaving his mother, and that she gave him a ring.
Mr. Keane—You said the other day you only knew him
three years.

Miss Johnstone—l only knew him since 1859, but
he was introduced the previous June, July, or August. I
gave him £250, but it was to pay for his journey. I gave
him a second time money, but I cannot remember when.
I have no voucher, and the money was handed over with-
out any person being present. It was entirely between
ourselves. He knew perfectly well we were not going to be
married, but marriage had been talked of. It was settled
it was not to be when he returned from Italy in May,
1859.
Mr. Keane—Had he offered marriage?

Miss Johnstone—l don't know that I am to answer that.
Well, yes, he did. All idea of marriage was then aban-
doned by us.
Mr. Keane—Have you seen the letters which Sergeant
Tanner received at the prisoner's house.
Miss Johnstone—l have just seen them.
Mr. Keane—Let me see 59 and 60.

Sergeant Tanner handed the letters to Mr. Keane, who
said—Then six of these letters after May, 1859, are letters
written by you after you abandoned the idea of marrying
him ?

Miss Johnstone—He asked me to continue on terms of
warm friendship, and I did so, and wrote the letters at his
request.

Mr. Keane—They were written to a gentleman you were
not going to be married to.
Sergeant Parry—l am extremely anxious to pre-
vent the letters being read, and therefore must object to
it. I propose that your worship should read them and see
whether they are relevant, for if not, the only object in
reading them can be to annoy the lady and to gratify a
prurient curiosity.
Mr. Keane—l do not understand the learned sergeant's
objection. Suppose I should break down this lady's credit ?
I show by her own letters that she is not to be believed. I
shall not tell my learned friend what use I mean so make
of these letters, or what I may say to a jury when I have
pondered over them. I may show a jury that she is not to
he believed.

Sergeant Parry—As I charge the prisoner with
endeavouring to extort money from the lady it
has struck me that it is curious that the prisoner
should wish them read in evidence. I ask
your worship to tell Tanner not to give up the letters, and
Mr. Keane that they cannot be read but with the lady's
leave. There could be no doubt what the teneur of the
letters was.

Mr. Keane—The letters are the joint property of the pri-
sonerand the prosecutrix. My learned friend tells me that
but I submit if they are evi-
-1 have no right to use them,
denco I have.
After a long cross-examination of Miss Johnstone, and
the examination of Mr. Campbell Johnstone, the lengthy
depositions were read over—the case having lasted nearly
three hours—and Sergeant Parry having addressed a few
remarks to the magistrate, asked that the prisoner might be
forthwith committed for trial for obtaining money by false
pretences and larceny, stating that he might have to prove
a charge under Lord Campbell's act for extorting money by
threats.

Mr. Keane then addressed the magistrate in a few re-
marks, after which the prisoner was committed far trial at
the Central Criminal Court.

CRYSTAL PALACE.—The grand show of dahlias,
German and French asters, roses, hollyhocks, verbenas,
gladiolus, phlox, and fruit will take place at the Crystal
Palace to-morrow and Thursday, the 4th and sth of Sept.

required in great perfection. The show of dahlias will most
probably be the largest and best that has ever taken place.

So., will make a fine display, and the collection of fruit will
be all that can be desized. On the first day a military band
will be in attendance, and a grand display of all the foun-
tains will take place at half-past 4in the afternoon. One

lIER MAJESTY'S PROGRESS TO

BALMORAL.

(Prom the Scotsman.)
The Queen, the Prince Consort, the Princesscs
Alice and Helena, and Prince Alfred, and nume-
rous :uite, arrived at the general station, Perth.
on Saturday morning last at 7.51 a.rn., a minute
before the arrangements in the programme, The
Royal party, notwithstanding having travelled the
previous night, appeared to be in the enjoyment
of excellent health and spirits. Her Majesty, on
landing at the station, was received by the Earl
of Mansfield, the sheriff of the county (Mr. E. S.
Gordon), and the Lord Provost and magistrates
of Perth, and on the platform were Mr. Stirling
of Kippendavie, Colonel Campbell, Mr. Stoddart
of Ballendreck, Mr. IPLean, procurator-fiscal of the
county ; Mr. Archibald Reid, county sheriff clerk,
&c. Only a limited number of ladies and gentle•
men were admitted to the station, and those present
did not exceed 600 persons, who gave her Majesty
a most enthusiastic welcome. A detachment of the

Scots Greys on foot, commanded by Lieutenant

Bro'wning, formed a guard of honour to her Ma-
jesty, and the utmost order was maintained on the

platform by the city constable and a party of police
under the direction of superintendent Welch. The
Earl of Mansfield conducted the royal party to the
breakfast rooms, which had been elegantly fur-
nished for the occasion by the joint committee of the
general station. The arrangements for the recep-
tion of the royal party made by the station com-
mittee were most complete, and reflect the highest
credit on the parties under whose superintendence
they were got up. The accommodation provided
for her Majesty, the royal family, and suite were a
portion of the buildings recently erected, and a por-
tion of those occupied by the Scottish North-Eastern
Railway Company. Her Majesty, the Prince Con-
sort, and the royal children breakfasted alone. The
servants had breakfast supplied them in the first
class refreshment room. Exactly at half-past eight
o'clock her Majesty and suite entered the royal
train, and in three minutes after it started, amid
the plaudits of the assembled spectators, which her
Majesty graciously acknowledged. Her Majesty
expressed her high satisfaction with the whole ar-
rangements for her reception. In the various rooms,
it may be added, there were beautiful bouquets of
flowers, which were supplied by Mr. Maxtone, of
Cultoquhey ; Mr. Gray, of Bowerswell ; and Mr.
Turnbull, of Bellwood.

At 28 minutes past nine the royal train, with her
Majesty, the Prince Consort, the Princesses Alice
and Helena, and Prince Alfred, arrived at Forfar,
accompanied by General Grey and other members
of his suite.

The station was gaily decked with flowers and
flags, the red rampant lion of Scotland being the
most prominent figure in the bunting. The re-
freshment room was covered with beautiful bloom-
ing heather, adorned with flowers, and seemed
like a fairy bower. On the summit were some
game birds and wild animals, and in the centre
above the arched doorway was a stag's head, a
" royal," with antlers of ten times. The decorations
did great credit to the taste of Mr. Duff, the station
master. liar Majesty was met by Lord Dalhousie
and Sir Charles Wood, the latter of whom took his
seat in the train, and proceeded northward along
with the other members of the suite. Lord Dal-
housie went up to the royal carriage and her Majesty
and the Prince Consort conversed freely with his
lordship during the brief stay of the train. Her
Majesty seemed in excellent spirits. The Forfar
Volunteers, under the command of Colonel Kinloch
and Captain Forsyth, and Captain Fotheringham,
formed a guard of honour during the time the train
remained, and gave a royal salute on the arrival and
departure of the train.
Ferryhill Station, Aberdeen, was reached at the
posted time, 11.13. To this point her Majesty was
accompanied by Mr. Stirling, of Kippendavie ; Mr.
Porteous of Laurieston ; Mr. Keith, Mr. Birnie, and
Dr. Matthews, directors of the Scottish North-
Eastern Railway, which here terminates. At Fer•
ryhilll a considerable crowd had assembled, amongst
whom it was pleasing to hear the remark paskang
that her Majesty, in all her journeys north, never
looked in better spirits. A military guard of honour
under Major Rice, 72d Highlanders, was in wait-
ing, and on the platform to receive the royal party
were the Lord Provost (Anderson), Sheriff Watson,
the Convener of the County (Mr. Thomson), with
whom the Prince Consort entered into conversation.
(It may be remembered that the Convener had the
honour of having his Royal Highness for his guest
at Banchory during the sitting of the British Asso-
ciation two years ago at Aberdeen.)
After a stay of five minutes, the carriages having
meanwhile been changed on to the Deeside Rail-
way, the royal train departed for the Highlands, the
following directors of the line being in attendance
—Mr. John Duncan, chairman ; Mr. Whyte, Aber--
deen ; Mr. Smith, of Glenmillan ; Mr. Gordon, of
Craigmill ; with Mr. Ferguson, secretary. Owing
to some unforseen failure of steam power in one of
the engines, the journey was not so expeditiously
performed as usual, "a slow" taking place on a por-
tion of the line. This delay was happily, however,
compensated for in some degree by time and oppor-
tunity being afforded to the royal visitors to view
with better leisure the fine scenery along the route
of the Dee. Aboyne, the termination of the rail-
way, was made at a quarter past one. In waiting
here, amongst others, were the Marquis of Huntly,
Lord-Lieutenant of Aberdeenshire, and the Mar-
chioness of Hun tly, whom her Majesty graciously
recognised and spoke to. A guard of honour, under
Captain Bond, was also in attendance.

Carriages being in readiness, the royal party
drove without delay, slight rain falling at the time.
Ere Ballater was reached, however, the weather
cleared up, and her Majesty was pleased to throw
the carriage open and acknowledge the cheers of
the residents, native and imported, of this favourite
watering and summer hoidaying village.
The royal journey terminated at ten minutes to
three, Balmoral Castle being reached at that hour.
Her Majesty was received at the Highland Palace
by Dr. Robertson, of Indego, who, with other
gentlemen, was in waiting. The upper strath of
Dee was never looking better. The crops are plen-
tiful, and falling fast under the sickle of the hus-
bandman. In the immediate vicinity of the Castle
the scene is particularly pleasing, and everything
betokens a satisfactory holiday for the court.

SECOND FORESTERS' FETE AT THE CRYSTAL
PALA.CE.--Yesterday a grand demonstration of the Fo-
resters Courts in the South London districts, in aid of the
widow and orphans' fund, took place at the Crystal Palace,
and met with extraordinary success. The attendance was
numerous, approximating, it was estimated, to 40,000 per-
sons. The weather being fine the grounds filled rapidly.
The outdoor amusements consisted of archery, rifle practice,
a pair-oared boat race, and other matches on the lake, a tub
race, and duck hunt, cricket, quoits, &c. At 1 o'clock a
grand procession was formed of the members belonging to
2,305 Courts of the South London district, with banners,
regalia, and decorations, the whole preceded by the Foresters
band, immediately followed by the Foresters' Rifle Corps,
most of the brotherhood wearing the recognised costume Of
the order.

ANOTHER CASE OF SUSPECTED WIFE MURDER.-
On Sunday evening (says the North British Daily Mail)
no little sensation was created at Dumbarton on its being
reported that a man was in custody of the county police, at
their headquarters here, charged with drowning his wife.
The full particulars aro not yet known ; but we learn that
the name of the accused is James Shaw, about 30 years of
age, and resided with the deceased, who was his reputed
wife, at Falkirk. Her name was Catherine Morrison, and
she was about 28 years of ago. It appears that the accused
is owner of two horses, which he employs in hauling vessels
along the Forth and Clyde Canal, the deceased driving one
of the horses. They had delivered a vessel at Bowling on
Saturday night, and commenced their return homewards to
Falkirk along the bank of the canal; and when last seen
together, near Dalmuir, about two miles from Kilpatrick,
between 11 and 12 o'clock that night, they wore both much
the worse of drink. Between 9 and 10 o'clock yesterday
(Sunday) morning, some men observed a whip and a penny
piece lying on the brink of the canal, on which a man's cap
was floating, and observed the accused's horses feeding in
the neighbourhood. Suspecting something was wrong,
they dragged the canal and found the body of the deceased.
The prisoner was found in the neighbourhood, and the
Kilpatrick constable proceeded promptly to the spot and
took him into custody. On the person of the accused was
found the deceased's pocket and some mousy. She was in
the habit, we are informed, of carrying their frivs.
When the constable apprehended him he was
eaesdeinps: he
stable, and could give no account of his p_
ry believe the
previous night and on Sunday morning.

THE BUILDERS' STRIKE.—A special meeting of
the masons' strike committee was held yesterday to make
the necessary arrangements for carrying out the decision of
the society to withdraw the men from all the country works
of the London hour-paying masters, when it was resolved
that deputations from the committee should wait upon the
employers concerned, and inform them of the intention of
the society, in order that they might have time to consider
their position before the withdrawal of the men.
GENERAL CIALDINI.—A letter from Turin in the
Temps says .—" Everybody for some time past has been
speaking of General Cialdini, and yet I do not sea that any
one understands the veritable part he is playing at Naples.
It is not as a brave and able general, for there are others as
good as he, nor as an aiministrator, nor as.a statesman,
that his presence is of great importance in the South—but
it is as a bond of union between the Government and the
most advanced liberal party, which party may become in
the southern provinces a serious danger if its support be
not secured. The general was a republican by birth, and in
his youth; but he has become aide-de-camp to the King,
and though without family distinction or fortune, he has
obtained without any unworthy concessions, a position in
the most exclusive society that ever existed—the Piedmon-
tese aristocracy. But what is most extraordinary is, that
though gaining favour among the retrograde party, be has
not lost, nor even compromiotd, his popularity among his
early political allioo. Even the ex-refugees, who are ex-
tremely aiscrustful. place confidence in him. His frank and
open manners are of great service to him. It is not rare to
see him at one moment walking with General de la Mar-
more, who is the very personification of Piedmentese aris-
tocratic stiffness, and two minutes after sauntering arm-in-
arm NI ith General Ribotti, or Medici, or some other
refugee ; and at the theatre he frequently steps out of the
Royal box to pace the lobby with some rabid democrat."

THE AMOUNT OF FOOD REQUIRED TO SUSTAIN
LIFE.—In respect to the quantity of food required to sup-
port life in the best way, some reliable information has been
obtained by experiment. The precise amount which in the
adult maintains the weight of the body unchanged during
a life of moderate exercise is theoretically the right average
quantity. Of course it varies with the kind of food em-
ployed, some articles furnishing much more nourishment in
an equal weight than others. On a diet of fresh meat, bread,
and butter, with coffee or water for drink,'Dr. Dalton found
the entire quantity required during 24 hours by roan i
full health, and taking free exercise in the open air, to be—
of meat, llb ;of bread, llb 3oz ;of butter-or fat, 31oz ;
water, 311 b, That is to say, rather less 2llb of solid
food, and rather more than 3 pints of liquid. These weights
rice, potatoes, or fruits, armed any considerable portion
would be exceeded if less nutritious substances, such as
of the diet. Dr. Hammond found that he maintained his
time 3 pints of water and
exact weight by a daily consumption of llb of meat, IBoz
of bread, 6oz. of soup, 4oz. of beetroots, loz. of tter,
