LAW' AND POLICM.

In the Rolls Court an application was made to direct the
Master to find how much money had been received by Alder-
man Gibbs from a certain property in the parish of St. Ste-
phen's, Walbrook, which was bequeathed for charitable pur-
poses, to take an account of all that had been laid out by him
for the benefit of the parish, and to make out what was due
from or to Alderman Gibbs; also to make all due and just
allowances. There was a motion tendering for a receiver,
which it was proposed may be postponed fill the account be
made out by the Master. After a brief statement from coun-
sel, Lord Langdale said it would be myre satisfactory to all
parties that the accounts should be 'taken, and granted
the order.

In the Court of Exchequer, Mr. Taylor, an architect and
surveyor, in Parliament-street, brought an action against the
Southwark-bridge Company, to recover damages fur injuries
sustained in a fall, occasioned by the alleged negligence of
the defendants. On the 21st of November last, the plaintiff
was waiting the steamer at the Southwark-bridge steam pier,
when he fell against the combing of an open hatchway, and
fell with his side upon the opposite ledge. He was lifted
from the opening in an almost senseless condition by two
gentlemen, the only persons present, and who had been
alarmed at hearing a heavy groan. By the next boat he
was removed to his father's at Westminster. Here he was
attended four days, during which time he suffered from col-
lapse, fever, and various pains. The surgeon's bill amounted
to 151. 1 ls. 6d. Verdict for plaintiff, damages, 401.
A summons was heard at Bow-street before Mr. Jardine
against Mr. Henry Smith, landlord of the White Hart,
Catherine-street, Strand, charging him with having kept his
house open for the sale of beer, &c., at other hours than by
law allowed, to wit, at fourteen minutes past twelve, on the
morning of Sunday the 30th of June. After the policeman,
F 39, had told his tale, Mr. John Collin, an independent
gentleman, of Brighton, who was lodging at Mr. Smith's;
Mr. Joseph Woodward, solicitor, of No. 43, Gower-place ; and
John Jenkins, the waiter, who had the care of the door, who
all swore that no liquor was drawn after twelve o'clock,
when the house was scrupulously cleared. Mr. Jardine, on
such respectable evidence, could not hesitate on deciding
against the policeman's testimony, and dismiss the summons.
At Guildhall, George Hubble, one of the toll-takers at the
Southwark-bridge, was summoned for assaulting Charles F.
King, and detaining his hat, on Friday night. The com-
plainat stated that he was a table-decker, and had been em-
ployed at Warrener's Tavern, at Erith, on Friday. He re-
turned, in charge of some valuable property, at night, to the
Southwark-bridge pier, and it was placed in a truck. He
thought he was entitled to go over the bridge in the truck
free of expense, as the man who drew the truck paid a penny
for himself, and twopence was paid for the truck. On coming
within four yards of the gate this money was paid, but the
tollman demanded another penny from the complainant. He
refused to pay it, and alighted from the truck. This, how-
ever, did not satisfy the tollman, who seized his hat by way
of distraint for the toll. Mr. Alderman Hooper said the Act
allowed the toll to be taken for " passing over" the bridge,
and payment could not be enforced from a person who came
up to the check for foot passengers, and then declined going
over. He, therefore, ordered the tollman to restero the hat
and pay the costs.

It appears there is no truth in the statement that the St.
Vincent, 120, and the Camperdown, 104, are ordered to
Gibraltar or Tangier. The crew of the Camperdown is to be
turned over to the Queen, and the ship will be out of com-
mission. The St. Vincent has left Portsmouth, and it is un-
derstood will cruize in the chops of the channel.
On Tuesday the half-yearly meeting of the Royal Humane
Society was held in the office, Trafalgar-square, Admiral
Sir Edward Codrington in the chair. The meeting was
thinly attended. The minutes of previous meetings having
been read and confirmed, it was announced that his Impe-
rial Majesty the Emperor of Russia and the King of Saxony
had been elected honorary members of the Society. His Im-
perial Majesty, it appeared, was mainly instrumental in sav-
ing the life of an individual last season, who had well nigh
been drowned in the Vilna. Of cases which had occurred
since December last there had been 42, of these 39 had
been successful through the assistance of the Society's exer-
tions—three unhappily were beyond recovery. Several
medals were awarded, and the meeting separated.
Two new churches are about to be built in Pimlico, one in

A Correspondent of the Dublin Pilot says, the Government
has spies in every Catholic chapel in the country. The
police, it appears—the Catholic police—have been ordered to
report everything said by the priests about repeal. Several
of the police have been dismissed for refusing to become spies
and informers.

The annual festival of the Metropolitan Free Hospital took
place last evening at the Albion Tavern, Aldersgate-street,
under the most favourable auspices. The Right Honourable
the Lord Mayor took the chair. The Honorary Secre-
tary, Mr. E. F. Chance, read the report, from which
it appeared that the object contemplated by the benevolent
founders of the hospital was to afford daily medical and sur-
gical relief gratuitously to the helpless, friendless, and
afflicted poor, without requiring from them a governor'sletter
of recommendation; and, should the funds increase, to receive
into the hospital all cases of emergency and severity. Nearly
10,000 persons were relieved during the past year, and the
committee had resolved from henceforth to open the institu-
tion for the reception of in-door patients, in firm reliance on
the increased liberality of the public.

WAPPING, SHADWELL, AND ST. GEORGE'S•IN-THE
EAST REGATTA.-Yesterday the twenty-third annual scut-
lers match, by eight free watermen of the above pat ishes, for
a new skiff and sundry other prizes, was contended for in four
heats. The distance rowed was from off the St. Kathatine's
Dock entrance and round a vessel moored below New Crane-
stairs, twice each heat. The fourth, or grand heat for the
new skiff, lay between Joseph Church, Hermitage-stairs
(yellow), and Richard Jackson, Wapping Nem- stai rs (green),
Church being the favourite. At starting Church took the
lead and kept it a considerable distance, Jackson being close
behind, both men displaying excellent science. When half
the distance bad been rowed, Jackson headed Church, and
won by nearly four lengths. Mr. Thompson, the manager
conducted the proceedings in an impartial and satisfaCtory
manner.

expectations nine, Havel htldn tihr adigd b'k the gorgeous and
brilliant spectacle the arena of Willis's ItdditB presented on
Monday night. The object of the promoters of: this indetiz
ficent assembly has been fully gained. We stated, at a rough
guess, yesterday, that there was between 1,200 and 1,300
persons of rank and distinction at the ball ; we can now assert,
on authority, that no less than 1,438 tickets were actually
entered, so that upwards of 1,0001. will pass into the exche-
quer of the Committee. _ _

In an early stage of the arrangements, the ladies patronesses
were unanimous in their desireto limit the issue of vouchers,
but owing to the extensive demand it was judged almost a
necessity to increase the original number named by 500. On
Monday afternoon vouchers could not be procured for either
lore or money.
It was shortly after nine when the carriages began to set
down company at both entrances to the room, and there was
an uninterrupted succession of arrivals until after one. The
arrangements for the reception of the company were beyond
all praise. The splendid rooms are well known to our aris-
tocracy to possess all the conveniences requisite for a monstre
ball, certainly not to be approached by any other establish-
ment. On this occasion it was necessary, however, to in-
crease the ordinary accommodation, in order that the per-
sonal comfort of all present should be insured. The supper-
room on the ground-floor was appropriated for dancing, and
the staircase leading from that room to the ball-room above
was suitably decorated with exotics, &c., and access was
gained with the greatest facility to both rooms. The grand
ball-room had rows of raised seats arranged at the east end,
covered with crimson, exclusively for the use of the ladies
patronesses, and those beauties of our nobility who were to
take part in the fancy quadrilles. The five costly chan-
deliers, and the girandoles, from which the room was illumi-
nated by hundreds of wax lights, were tastefully orna-
mented with roses and camellias. In the supper-room an
extended table was supplied with the choicest refresh-
ments, and two rooms up stairs were set apart for refections
of a lighter description. Several of the rooms, as well as
the staircases, were abundantly embellished by flowering
plants and exotica.
The ladies patronesses were in early attendance, and were
conducted to what is termed at Almack's the " Card Room,"
although at those assemblies such instruments of gaming are
never allowed. The tea room, invariably used as the salon
of meeting for those dominant personages, was on Monday
the locale for the congregation of the ladies and gentlemen
taking characters in the Waverley quadrille (the Marchioness
of Londonderry's), so that not the slightest confusion arose.
Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Gloucester arrived
from Gloucester House precisely at ten o'clock, the leading
ladies patronesses advancing to meet that illustrious and ami-
able member of our Royal Family.
His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, attended by
Major Stephens, came shortly after his royal sister. The
Royal Duke wore the uniform of Colonel of the Coldstream
Guards, and the riband of the order of the Garter.
It was nearly eleven when the Hereditary Grand Duke of
Meeklenburgh_Strelitz arrived.
By half-past ten the ball-room was crammed to excess,
and it was feared that from the intense anxiety manifested
by the company
.to witness the procession of the Waverley
quadrille, great inconvenience would be experienced in the
necessary endeavour to obtain sufficient space for the forma-
tion of the quadrille.
As a prelude to the commencement of the ball, Tolbecque's
powerful orchestra played the national anthem, at the con-
clusion of which the folding doors of the tea-room were
thrown open. All eyes were directed to that apartment, and
a signal having been conveyed to M. Tolbecque, the band
struck up the march of the " English Volunteers," at which
the procession began its progress along the left centre of the
salon de danse, to the raised benches where the Royal Family
and ladies patronesses were seated, advancing in the follow-
ing order, the annexed programme setting forth the names

The master of the ceremonies, Deplanque, having gained
the desired room for the dance, Tolbecque's band brought
forward an exquisite quadrille, composed by that artist ex-
pressly for the ball, denominated the " Waverley Quadrille,"
and dancing commenced.
We are enabled to say that "the measure" was gone
through most successfully. It is due to the Marchioness of
Londonderry to remark, at this stage of our notice, that all
those persons of fashion who participated, not only in her
quadrille, but in the pleasures of the night, are greatly in-
debted to her ladyship for the great attraction and rare en-
tertainment she undertook to complete. Had her ladyship
possessed regal influence it could not have been more splendid
or successful. The dresses were scrupulously correct in all
the details.
The fancy quadrilles of Lady Caroline Sandford pnd the
lion. Mrs. Leicester Stanhope were next danced in succes-
