MEN.-BARR V. WORTH.

This was a claim to recover £3 ss. for printing some
squibs for the last election at Finsbury.
Plaintiff was called, and said that defendant gave the
order himself, and never said it was to be charged to Mr.
Cox.

Mr. Jay produced plaintiff's bill, and on the top wag
written " Cox's Election."

Plaintiff said he put that on the bill to distinguish it.
Defendant was a committeeman, and deputy-chairman to
Mr. Cox.

Mr. Jay said anybody must have known that the squibs
were intended for Mr. Cox. Who else could have said
" All men are equal?" (Laughter.) The squib was abu-
sive of Sir Samuel Morton Peto, a most inoffensive man,
and no one but Mr. Cox would have abused him. Defen•
dant was by some strange chance absent now ho was
wanted. He had been present all the morning.
His Honour said perhaps discretion was the better part
of valour in his case. Plaintiff had sworn that defendant
ordered the things, and defendant was clearly liable. These
matters were generally arranged between the candidate and
his committeemen, and there should be no repudiation of a
debt of this kind by the candidate.
Verdict for plaintiff.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

A GENTLEMAN OBLISED TO TURN CAB-DRIVER.,--
John Patmore, a cab -driver (badge 1,956, cab 2,272), was
charged with being drunk and incapable of driving his fare,
as follows

Thomas Lindsay, a constable of the C division, said his
attention was called to the defendant's cab, a little after
12 overnight, by seeing a gentleman on the box driving.
He stopped the cab, and on looking inside saw the defen-
dant fast asleep and very drunk.
Inspector Webb, of the C division, said the statement of
the gentleman who came to the station was that he found
the cab in the Gray's-inn-road, and that after the man had
driven him from place to place he (the driver) lost himself,
and perceiving that the man was in a state of intoxication
he mounted the box and drove himself home, having first,
for the man's safety, put him inside, and that he had just
reached his home in Jermyn-street when he was stopped
by the constable.

Mr. Beadon asked for the defendant's license, found that
he had been charged with drunkenness about two months
ago; and, addressing the defendant, said that if ho came
before him again he should certainly send his license to the
commissioners. Ho was driving a gentleman at the time,
and so drunk that he was obliged to be put inside and the
gentleman to drive himself. He should fine him 20s. or a
month.

LA !V INTI,ELLIGENCE.---( VHS DAY.

• SHERIFFS' COURT.
A TRANSLATOR OF OLD BOOTS AND SIiORS-LARRAILD

V. DREW.

This was a judgment summons, and the debt was £lO
in money, borrowed some time ago.
His Honour said—lt was necessary, as defendant at-
tended, to examine him as to the cause of non-payment.
Mr. Buchanan, who attended for plaintiff, then ex-
amined defendant as to his means.

Defendant said he had no means at present, neither had
he any prospects when he borrowed the money. His wife
sold cat's meat. He certainly had two places of business,
but for one he only paid ls. 6d. per week. It was a very
small place, and had formerly been occupied by a translator
of old boots and shoes. (Laughter.)
His Honour—Oh, dear ! what's that ?
Defendant—Why, vulgarly called a cobbler. (Roars of
laughter.) _

Mr. Buchanan—My client has been very badly treated
in this ease, and when he has applied for his money he has
been sneered at.

Defendant denied this, but his Honour was of opiniOn
that this was one of those cases in which it was necessary
to carry out the provisions of the Act. Defendant will be
committed for 20 days.

HUTCHINSON,

This was a summons to recover a bill for medicine, &c.,
supplied to defendant.

Mr. Buchanan, for plaintiff, said the case had been
adjourned as plaintiff was not a licentiate of the Apothe-
caries' Company. Now he was a member of the College of
Surgeons in Scotland, and the case he attended was a
surgical case.

His Honour was very sorry that plaintiff could not re•.
cover. Not being a member of the Apothecaries' Com-
pany, he should not have supplied the medicine. At the
same time he considered it very unjust on defendant's part,
after having received plaintiff's goods and advice, to set up
a defence of this sort.

Defendant had offered 305., but plaintiff would not accept
the amount.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

AN INCORRIGIBLE DRUNKARD.—Elizabeth Williamson,
an old Scotchwo:nan, who has been brought to this court
nearly 100 times, charged with drunkenness, was again
brought up, charged with being drunk and begging in the
Haymarket.

The constable said he heard her speaking to two gentle-
men, and asking for alms, saying that she was a
,poor
widow, and on their refusing to assist her, she being drunk
at the time, she mado use of a very disgusting expression
towards them.

Prisoner—Oh, dear no. I was only asking for the price
of a bottle of ginger beer. .

The constable said she had been at this court previously
this week, and discharged by Mr. Beadon, and at Bow-
street on the previous day, where she was also discharged.
Mr. Bingham said he would do her the greatest kind-
ness, and commit her for a month.

A FRIEND IN NEED.-Mr. George D'Eyncourt, of 39,
Duke-street, St. James's (but who gave the name of Bob
Sawyer), was charged with being drunk and incapable in
the Haymarket.

It appeared that a constable named Waight, 90, seeing
the defendant in the Haymarket in a far gone condition,
for the sake of protection took him into custody, whereby
some gold and silver he had about him was taken care of
and handed over to him in court, the constable thus proving
himself a real friend, and enabling him to pay the fine of
55., which he readily did.

TEA.—The public sales have passed off with some de-
gree of animation, but inferior descriptions declined Id
per lb.
SUGAR.—The demand for all descriptions has been in-
active, and in some instances a further reduction of 6d per
cwt has taken place. In the refined market business has
been exceedingly dull, dried goods showing further depres-
sion.
COFFEE.—The rather unfavourable result of the Dutch
c-impany's sale in Holland has in some measure affected
prices. Plantation Ceylon has declined 6d to is per cwt,
and Native Ceylon as well as other descriptions have also
been at slightly reduced rates.
ItlcE.—There has been a very limited demand; the few
transactions entered into, however, have been at former
rates.
SALTPETRE.—The inquiries have been more active
within the last day or two, and prices are firmly supported.
TALLOW.—The market has been rather irregular owing
to the nature of the advices from St. Petersburg. Some spe-
culative business has been entered into, but the demand for
the trade has been inactive. P.Y.C. on the spot is quoted
57s 3d to 57s fid, and last three months 58s per cwt.

LivEltrooL, Thursday.—The Pacific steamer
Bogota sails on Saturday next with the mails for South

PARIS, SEPT. 9.

The Prince Napoleon quitted Paris yesterday for
Auvergne, from whence he will proceed to Switzer-
land; it is supposed that his journey has reference
to the intended interview between the Emperors of
France and Austria at the Castle of Arenenberg.
The statement that the English Cabinet had
made proposals to the Governments of France and
Austria for the holding of a Congress, is not cor-
rect.

M. de la Gueronniere has left for St. Sauveur,
accompanied by M. Drousart, his principal clerk ;
the aim of this journey is the intended reform of
the law of the press in a more liberal manner.

TURIN, SEPT. 8.

The Council of the different districts has officially
proclaimed to the inhabitants of Turin that the
Tuscan deputies had presented a deed of annexa-
tion to the Government.

BOLOGNA, SEPT. 7.

The assembly has unanimously adopted the fol-
lowing proposition :—" We declare that the people
of the Romagna desire annexation to the constitu-
tional kingdom of Sardinia under the sceptre of
King Victor Emmanuel." The city was illumi-
nated and universal joy and order prevailed.

PARMA, SEPT. 7.

The assembly was opened to-day with great
solemnity. After the religious ceremonies at the
cathedral were concluded, the deputies proceeded
to the palace amidst the cheers of a numerous
assembly of the people and the National Guird.
The Dictator Farini addressed the assembly,
reviewing the history of the rule of the Bourbons
in the Duchies, and terminated his speech amid
cries of " Vive Victor Emmanual " The city was
in fete.

his wish.

THE TREATMENT of STRICTURES of thO

By. F. B. COURTENAY, M.R.C.S.E.,
And formerly Surgeon to the Metropolitan Infirmary for the
Cure of Strictures of the Urethra.

" This work is the production of a surgeon whose special
attention has been directed, through a long professional life,
to the treatment of strictures of the urethra. The cases
which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ample evidence of his
great discriminative power in the d►agnosis of the various
kinds of stricture, and of the scientific principles upon which
their management is founded. By his systematic management
an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is
attained, and future mischief prevented. The work we can
most unreservedly and confidently recommend as a valuable
contribution, both to the general and professional reader, and
ought to be found in the private study of all who are subject
to stricture."—Medical Circular, Dec. Ist; 1858.

COLONIAL.

TEA.—The public sales have passed off with some de-
gree of animation, but inferior descriptions declined Id
per lb.
SUGAR.—The demand for all descriptions has been in-
active, and in some instances a further reduction of 6d per
cwt has taken place. In the refined market business has
been exceedingly dull, dried goods showing further depres-
sion.
COFFEE.—The rather unfavourable result of the Dutch
c)mpany's sale in Holland has in some measure affected
prices. Plantation Ceylon has declined 6d to is per cwt,
and Native Ceylon as well as other descriptions have also
been at slightly reduced rates.
RICE.--There has been a very limited demand; the few
transactions entered into, however, have been at former
rates.
SALTPETRE.—The inquiries have been more active
within the last day or two, and prices are firmly supported.
TALLow.—The market has been rather irregular owing
to the nature of the advices from St. Petersburg. Some spe-
culative business has been entered into, but the demand for
the trade has been inactive. P.Y.C. on the spot is quoted
578 3d to 57s fid, and last three months 58s per 97t.

THE PrII.tPERS' STRIKE.

The Executive Conference of the United Opera-
tive Building Trades met yesterday morning at the
Paviors' Arms, Johnson-street, Milthank, and it was
reported that Mr. Wm. Cubitt, of Gray's Inn-lane,
had sent for the smiths to resume their work. Ac-
cordingly about thirty attended, but had no sooner
done so than the document was presented, to which
they were required to make an adhesive declara-
tion. To this the men at once objected, and,
as that was to be the condition of their obtain-
ing work, they one and all immediatelY left.
Mr. Potter has returned from Giat'ovV, -bring-
ing with him a handsome subscription by the tin-
plate workers of that city. Fifteen pounds
was received from Cardiff; and meetings will take
place every night of the different trades at Glas-
gow, when there is no doubt votes of money will
be made, amounting in the aggregate to something
very considerable. A meeting of the operatives of
Greenock will take place next week, at which Mr.
Gray, a member of the conference, will attend.
This day a meeting of the operatives of the
United Building Trades was held in the Surrey
hardens, for the purpose, as the notice stated, of
" taking into consideration the decision of the
Master Builders to enforce the obnoxious docu-
ment, on Monday next, to all men resuming work
in their employ." Resolutions, demanding the
unconditional withdrawal of the " document," were
agreed to.
