TAYLEURE V. LENNOX.—CRIN. CON.

This was an action to recover compensation for an
alleged criminal conversation with the plaintiff's wife.
The pleadings in the case were opened to the jury by
Mr. Crompton, and the Attorney-General who appeared
for the plaintiff, was on the point of stating the case to
the jury, when
Mr. ilucu HILL, who represented the defendant, Lord
Arthur Lennox, interrupted the Learned Attorney-Ge-
neral, and said that inasmuch .as the inquiry if gone into,
would be attended with pain to many parties, he was
ready to consent to a verdict for the plaintiff with 5004
damages.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL on the part of the plaintiff
having,agreed to this proposition,
Lord CAMPBELL directed the jury to find a verdict for
the plaintiff, damages 5001., which they did accordingly.

EXCHEQUER.—(THIS DAY.)
The Court was occupied during the whole of the
morning in trying the case of the Attorney-General v.
John Fryer Kathy and Henry Charles Kilby, which was
an information filed at the instance of the Board of In-
land Revenue, to recover penalties for an infringement
of the excise laws in regard to the preparation of malt.
The defendants carried on business as malaters, at Brid-
lington, Yorkshire, and, by using rooms which had not
been entered at the Excise-office, had managed to evade
the payment of duties on a considerable quantity of
malt. - -

The case, which presents no feature beyond those
which ordinarily characterise prosecutions of this
nature, had not concluded when we went to press.

FRENCH PLAYS.—ST. JAMES'S THEATEL,...+The
benefit of Mr. Mitchell, to whose enterprize and judgment
we are indebted for the naturalization of the French theatre
in this country, is fixed for to-morrow (Wednesday) even-
ing. The performances will commence, at half-past seven
o'clock (by special desire) with Lea Extremes as Touchent.
After which will be revived (for that light only), Catherine;
ou, La Croix d Or. To be followed by Un Caprice. During
the evening, Mdlle. Charton will execute the Grand Scene
from the third act of Le Domino IVoir • and Mdlle. Carlotta
Grisi and M. Charles will dance " La Truandaise," from the
ballet of L'Esmeralda. To conclude with Boger Bontemps.
Such is the attractive programme of the performances of to-
morrow evening, but it needed not such attractions to insure
to Mr. Mitchell an overflowing house. Never has manager
deserved better of his subscribers, and of the public, than has
Mr. Mitchell, and we have no doubt that he will have to-
morrow, as he has had on all former similar occasions,
troops of friends" assembled aroand him, ail anxious to do
him houour.
ROYAL SURREY ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS.—Yester-
day evening his Excellency General Jung Bahadoor Koon-
war Banajee, the Nepaulese Ambassador, and suite, honoured
these gardens with their presence. They arrived at half-
past seven, and were received by Mr. Tyler, and by him ac-
companied to the seats prepared for them. Immediately on
their arrival the band, conducted by M. Jullien, played a
new Gorka march, composed by him expressly for the occa-
sion, and dedicated by permission to his Excellency. It is
a very spirited and appropriate composition, and was received
with immense applause and encored. his Excellency re-
mained until the close of the pyrotechnic exhibition, which
was on an unusually grand scale, concluding with a discharge
of 500 various coloured rockets, presenting the most brilliant
coup dreil that can be imagined. It was in truth a magni-
ficent display, and called forth most enthusiastic applause.
His Excellency departed highly gratified with his reception,
and was pleased to say that if his arrangements would permit
he would visit the Flower Show in the Gardens on Wednes-
day next. The gardens were crowded by a highly respect.
able concourse of visitors, who received his Excellency with
every demonstration of respect.

EGYPTIAN HALL, JUNE 17.—His Excellency the
Nepaulese Ambassador and suite attended (yesterday) the
afternoon exhibition of Colonel Fremont's Overland Route
to Oregon and California at the Egyptian Hall, and ex•
pressed themselves, through their interpreter, as highly
pleased with the beautiful and effective views of this inter-
esting country.

On the recent visit of the Nepaulese Princes to the
Royal Polytechnic Institution it was found that their
Ilighnesses were fond of chess, and the committee ha'e
elected them members of the St. George's Chess Club during
their stay in this country. Amongst the list of members of
this club the most distinguished chess players in this country
are enrolled.

BURTON• IN -LONSDALE.—A scene of animation and
of unusual interest was witnessed in this village, on Tuesday,
the 28:h ult., on the occasion of laying the first stone of the
free schools, now in the course of erection. These schools
are to be built and endowed at the sole expense of Richard
Thornton, Esq., one of the most eminent of London
merchants, fur the benefit of the poor children
of Burton and Thornton in Lonsdale, and to
commemorate the place of nativity of the
benevolent founder. The ceremony was performed by Mr.
Thomas Thornton, nephew of the promoter, who delivered
an eloquent address on the benefits likely to result from the
institution. All the workmen fared sumptuously at Mr.
Bateson's, the Potters' Arms, and a band of music kept up
and enlivened the scene; nor were the old women and
children forgot ; they were regaled subsequently with tea,
coffee, and sandwiches on the green. Mr. Thornton had
blessings innumerable bestowed upon him, and richly
does he deserve the same, for such a disinterested act of
pure philanthropy, charity, and love.—Lancaster Guardian.

House was printed. By a resolution of the Committee the
profits of the printers on work performed by order of the

Averu.r. SUICIDE.—A most appalling act of suicide
was committed at Exeter on Friday morning by Colonel
Craigie, at his own house, in Victoria-terrace. It appears
that at breakfast-time one of the servants was sent up stairs
to call her master; the servant knocked at the door, but not
receiving any answer she returned and informed her mistress.

unfortunate Colonel extended on the floor in a pool of blood
and most frightfully mutilated in various parts of the body.
His throat was cut completely from ear to ear; there being
similar wounds on both his legs, as well as below the ham-
strings. Besides these injuries there were three wounds in
his abdomen, which had evidently been inflicted with a
knife. A razor and knife, both covered with blood, were
found in the room. The unfortunate Colonel was alive, but
speechless from the excessive loss of blood. Dr. Elliott and
several other medical men did all that• was possible to save
his life, but without avail, and he died in less than an hour
after he was discovered. A rumour was in circulation that
the deceased had been murdered by some person, but from in-
quiries made since there is no doubt entertained that he de-
stroyed his own life, but from what cause remains at present
