MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.—(This Day.)

TilE LICENSE FOR CRENIORNE GARDENS.
(Before 11r. Po vs na I and a full Bench of Magi,tratee.)
This being the day appointed for the hearing of the
opposition of the Vecry of St. Luke's, Chelsea, to the
renewal of the license for Cremorne Gardens, the court
was crowded to excess, and the greatest interest pre-
vailed.

Mr. Sergeant Ballantine, in opposition to the
renewal of the license, opened the case, and urged
the bench to refuse the license on the ground that the
gardens, owing to the manner in which they were con-
ducted, had become a nuisance to the neighbourhood.
He also said the surrounding property had become so
depreciated in value that serious loss had been entailed
upon the ♦estry of Saint Luke's, Chelsea. It was
the practice cf keeping the gardens open until
an advanced hour in the morning, and, after the fire
wotk4, a class of visitors arrive who kept the neigh-
bourhood in a state of uproar until nearly four o'clock.
The vestry of Chelsea, with a view to put an end to such
a state of things, bad proposed to Mr. Simpson to close
the girdens,at 12 o'clock at night, but the proposition
bad been refused, and therefore the present proceedings
were adopted.

The learned sergeant then called a number of wit-
nesses, who stated that up to 12 o'clock at night there
was nothing to complain of in the roasagement of the
gardens, but after that hour, and till a very advanced
hour of. the morning, the neighbourhood was in a state
of great upruar and c ,nfusion.
The Chairman said he thought it would save time if he
stated what he thought was the opinion of the bench,
that arrangements should be entered into with Mr. Simp-
son to admit no new visitors afrer 12 o'clock. •
A Magistrate dissented from such aproposition beino•°
considered to be the unanimous -opinion of the bench.
He did not think that any other condition than that
laid down by the law should be imposed on Mr:Simpson.
The Chairman said he did not say it was the unani-
mous opinion of the bench, but of the majority.
Mr. Edwin James, Q C., who appeared for Mr. Simp-
son, said, as such a proposition had been thrown out
by the chairman, be thought it but right that counsel
should retire and see whether any arrangement could
be come to. If no resu:t was arrived at, then the hear-
ing of evidence could be proceeded with.
The learned gentlemen engaged in the case then loft
the court, and after a short absence they returned into
court. -

Mr. Edwin James informed the bench that the con-
ference had been attended with no practical result.
Mr. Sergt. Ballantine said the terms he had proposed
to his learned friend were, that Cremorne Gardens
should be treated precisely in te same manner as the
Grecian Saloon and ilighbury Bain, v!z., that the gar-
dens be closed:and cleared by 12 o'clock every evening
Mr. Ed win James said such a proceeding would utterly
ruin his client. On the part of Mr. Simpson he was
prepared to enter into arrangements that the fireworks
should be discharged at 11 o'clock; that no new visitors
should be admitted after one, and that the gardens should
be closed at two.

Mr. Byng, magistrate, proposed that Mr. Simpson's
,erms be assented to.

Mr. E. Jamey said it was perfectly legal for the bench
:o pursue such a course.

Mr. Sergeant Ballantine refused to assent to such
terms, and the examination of witnesses was then pro-
ceeded witt.. All camplained of the noise occasioned by
the cabs conveying the visitors from the gardens, and
some said their houe property had decreased in value
in consequence of their proximity to Cremorne.
We shall give the conclusion in our last edition. .

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. —(This Day.)

MARL BOROUGH STREET.
RUFFIANLY ASSAULT ON THE POLICE.—John Smith,
a Fnlesn3an at a dressing-case mauufacturtr3, and George
Francis, an attorney's clerk, were charged before Mr.
Bingham with assauPing the police while in the execu-

tionof their duty.
Police•constable 185 C stated that about 1 o'clock this
morning he was in Tichbourne-street, where he saw the
prisoner Smith knocking with great violence at the door
Gf a coffeehouse into which he had been refused admis-
sion. Seeing that he was the worse for liquor, he tried
to persuade him to go home. Instead of taking this
advice he persi.sted in knocking at the door so as to
alarm all the neighbourhood. Witness thereupon took
him into custody, and was conveying him to the station
when he, with a stick which he'llad in his hand, loaded
at the end, struck him a violent blow on the back of his
head, which for a moment nearly stunned him ; he still,
however, kept hold of the prisoner till Jennings, 316
A, came up to hie aid. The other prisoner then made
his appearance, and tried to rescue Smith from custody,
and, in so doing, struck at Jennings twice, but did not
hit him. They were both, alter a great deal of resistance,
eventually lodged in the station.
Neither of the prisoners said anything in answer to
the charge.

Mr. Bingham fined Smith 41.' or one month ; and
Francis 10s., or N even days to the House of Correction.

being drunk, and while in that st►te driving two horses
and a waggon in a reckle3s manner in the Commercial•

that yesterday afternoon he saw the prisoner, who was
very much intoxicated, in charge of a waggon and two
horses in the Commerci.:l-road Ztst, and proceeding to-
wards the West India Deck. The prisoner stumbled
towards the front home, and his legs got entangled with
the animal's legs And he was thrown down, but he soon
-

the waggon, and narros.ly
escarmd tumbling under

and sent the horses and waggon home to the owner.
The prisoner, in defence, aid he was in the rain
the whole of yesterday, aud bad a drop of drink too
much.

Mr. Selfe—That is no excu,e but an
aggravation of
your offence. You nii2have mischief,
and done serious mischef,
and killed several persons.
The prisoner —Tne• horses were very quiet.
M. Selfe—That don't matter. I shall wake you pay
a fino for this.

Monks said the

Mr. Selfe—That is a sevEre pun'shmeat, but one

PECIAL MEETING (THIS DA.Y).—POSTAL
COMMUNICATION WITH DUBLIN.
A special meeting of the proprietors of the London
and North-Western Railway was held this afternoon, at
the Euston Station, for the purpose of authorising agree•
meets with the Shropshire Union Railways and Canal
Company, or with all or any of the shareholders in such
last-mentioned company, with respect to the conversion
of all or any of the shares, or all o: any part of the stock,
of the Shropshire Union Railways and Canal Compels)
into ordinary stock of the London and North Wester:
Railway Company ; for authorising the London and
North-Western Railway Company to subscribe towards,
and to acquire and take shares iu, the Buxton Extension
Capital of the Stockport, Disley, and Whaleybridge
Railway, Company, to an extent to be authorised by the
meeting, not exceeding in the whole 105,0001. ; to re-
ceive the heads of a contract, approved by the Govern-
ment, to be entered into between her Maj -sty's Post-
master-General and the London and North-Western and
Chester and Helybead Railway Company, and the City
of Dublin Steam-packet Company, for the conveyance
of the mails between London and Kingston ; and also tie
submit to the proprietor© an agreement for the purchase
by the London and North-Western Rad way Company
of the Easton and Victoria hotels, situate respectively
in and adjoining to Euston-equare, under the powers
conferred upon the company by Act of Parliament. The
Marquis of Chandos, chairman of the Board of Directors,
in the chair.
The CHAIRMAN, on rising, said that during last session
parliamentary sanction was obtained for the conversion
of the shares or stock of the Shropshire Union Company
into shares or stock of the London and Norte-
Western Company, which was merely carrying out
a previous arrangement ; and that the conversion
of the shares or stock authorised by the powers
referred to would not involve any additional pay
went or liability on the part of this company.
The extension authorised last session of the Stoc. port
Disley and Whaley Bridge Railway will bring the town
of Buxton into immediate connection with the lines of
this company. The directrirs, for the same reasons
which induced them to take an interest in the original
linei; and which led the consultation committee to the
conclUsion (stated in their report) "that the board,
under the cironmstances then existing, acted prudently
in making arrangements to work the line, arid for teeing
the portion ot capital. subsequently authorised by Parlia-
ment," recommend that the capital for the extension
lino be taken to the extent authorised by Parliament,
105,0001., and that, when completed, the line be worked
on the same terms as the Stockport and Disley line.
As 'intimated by the directors in the last half-yearly
report, they were now enabled to state that the long
pending negotiation with the Government for the im-
provement of the Irish passenger and postal communi-
cation had resulted in an agreement as to the conditions
of a contract between the Postmaster-General and
the united companies (London and North-Western,
Chester and Holyhead, and City of Dublin),
under the act of 1855, for • a ne w postal and
passenger service between London and Kingstown.
The contract was for 14 years subject to a power of the
Government at any time after five years to put an end
to the contract, if they have reason to be die atisfied with
the manner in which it was generally performed ; in
which event the Government would purchase the
packets at a pries to reimburse the net cost, to be deter-
mined by arbitration. The existing contract with the
City of Dublin Steam Packet Company was to termina e
when the new contract took effee. There
were to be provided four packets, each being
not less thati 300 feet long, 1,700 tons measurement,
and of such construction as would be approved by the
Government as being suitable for this improved service,
and for the accommodation of the public. There are to
be four communications--two eaca way daily—between
London and Kingstown in eleven hours, subject to penal
ties for delay, except in certain cases, when arising from
causes beyond the control of the companies. Nothing
contained in the contract was to be interpreted to inter
fere with the rights of the Postmaster-Geuer at, or of ehe
companies under the existing agreements or contracts
with the Chester and Holyhead Railway Company, and
with the London and Nor h Western Railway Com-
pany, excepting so far as the establishment of these
new trains would render the service under such
contracts or agreements unnecessary. The neve service
was to commence within two years from the execution of
the contract. By agreement between the companies,
the necessary capital, estimated at 300,0001., was to be
provided equally by the London and North Western
and City ot Dublin Steam packet Companies. Tuis
company had the option of being hall-owners and
managers of the steam packets to be provided under
this contract. The directors, however, deemed it more
expedient, to arrange with the City of Dublin Company
for the performance of the sea portion of the service—
this company being relieved in respect thereof—
the vessels being • available and at the disposal of
this company for the development of passenger
traffic, as fully as if they were its own property.
Under this arrangement, the proportion of the capital
to be provided for the construction of the steamboats by
the London and North-Western Company would be ad
vanced as a loan, bearing interest at 5 per cent., on the
security of the four packets (costing double the amount
ot the advance), and of the receipts for traffic earned by
the steanivessels. The capital so advanced would be
repaid by-annual instalments. For the land service,
there was to be paid annually the suns of 20,0001., inde-
pendent of and in addition to the amount now paid to the
London and North-Western company under their present
general contract, and the sum of 30,0001. now paid an-
nually to the Cheater and Holyhead Company under
the existing arrangement between that Company and
the Government would continue to be so paid ; which
sum of 30,000/. would, during the existence of this con•
tract, include, in addition to the service now performed
in respect to it, the service herein provided for,
By a recent Act of Parliament, the company
were empowered to provide hotel accommodation
in the vicinity of their London terminus. The
Euston and Victoria Hotels, built, in 1839, by
an hotel company, composed principally of shareholders
in the then London and Birmingham Railway, are now
let on lease, which expires in 1861. In view of this
event, and in order to insure the hotels being managed
under regulations and arrangements-genera 1:, so as to
afford the greatest possible accommodation to travellers
using the lines of this company, the directors have
deemed it expedient to purchase the buildings (the com-
pany already possessing the freehold) for 55,0001. The
rent payable ender the existing lease suffi:ee to pay a
full interest upon the amount of the purchase money.
They were let at 3,5001. per annum.
In answer to a question
The noble CHAIRMAN said that the Disley extension
would be ninetliles, and the estimated coat of conetruc-
from 170,0001. to 180,000/. The company was to take
up shares in the extension to the extent of 105,0001.
After a short discussion resolutions for carrying out
the objects of the meeting were agreed t•, after taking
a poll on the resolution relative to the Disley branch.
In answer to a question
The noble CHAIRMAN said that the company were not
borrowing money, and any flun nations in the shares
could only be attributed to stock jobbing. The company
was very easy in respect of money matters.
The meeting then terminated.

LONDON AND MIDDLESEX ARCIIELOLOGICAL SOCIETY.
—The members and friends of this society ,net on Mon-
day to the number of several hundreds at Hampton
Court Palace, for the purpose of inspecting the various
objects of interest which abound in that favourite loca-
lity. They assembled at half-past 12 o'clock in the great
hall, where they were addressed by the Rev. T. Hugo,
who afterwards conducted them over the building, and
pointed out to their notice the objects which needed or
deserved remark. The palace stood on what WAN in the
first instance a domain b longing to the Knights H osp.-
tellers of St. John of Jerusalem. Cardinal Woisey AUC.
ceeded in obtaining a grant of it, and in the year 1515
commenced the erection of an edifice, which he designed
on a scale 3f almo,t unparalleled magnificence. After his
fall, however, Henry VIII., with a view, no doubt, to
remove from the palace some portion- of its founder's
prestige, demolished the great hall and chapel, and re-
placed them with erections of his own. The popular
belief which attributes to the Cardinal the erection of the
present hall is therefore incorrect. The present hall was
the work of Henry, and was in all probability in no way
superior, but rather the contrary, to that of the Genii-.
nal, whose taste and architectural skill were notorious.
In the withdrawing-room, as in the hell itself, attention
was specially called to the tapestry, which is among the
finest in England. The fireplace is frequently considered
of the time of Elizabeth, but was pronounced by the
reverend cicerone to be principally, if not entirely, of that
of Wiliam and Mary. The portrait of Wolsey, which is
usually said to be the only authentic likeness of him in
existence, Mr. Hugo did not scruple to stigmatise as a
copy, which he did not believe to be 150 yesre ohs. Tne
next part of the building which was noticed was the
chapel. The walls and roof of this edifice are of the time
of Henry VIII , but the interior has been entirely re-
modelled by Sir Christopher Wren, who lined the al.art-
mont with Palladian carpenter's work, enthusiastically
lauded by Mr. Hugo, and profusely ornamented it
with splendid carvings by Grinlin Gibbons. The
ill effect of the polychromed ceding was owing,
according to some supplemental observations of Mr.
Godwin, to the absence of stained gla,s from the win-
dows. After leaving th chapel Mr. conducted
the company through the ancient offices, the chapel.
court, kitchen-court, racket-lane, &c., and thence over
the newer portion of the palace erected by Sir Christo•
Aber Wren, of whom he appeared to be a most zealous
admirer. Indeed, he avowed a prefer (nee for that archi-
tect's work over many portions of the older palace ; for
in the last years of Henry VIII. Gothic architecture had
become a mere sham, and sham Gothic 300 years ago,
like sham Gothic now, was a detestable and miserable
thing. At the same time it was only fair to say
that in all probability the finest portions of the earlier
work were no longer in existence. The picture gallerie-,
the private gardens, the vine, and the superb, but
little known, iron railings of the time of William and
Mary, between the bowling-green and the park, were
drily visited and commented on. After a vote of cor-
dial thanks to the rev. leader and the other member,
of council who had attended the meeting and made the
anticipatory arrangements, the compar.y separated,
highly delighted with the intellectual treat which had
been afforded to thew.
