THE PRISONS.

Mr. ALLEN laid before the Court the rep rts of the
visiting justices of the county prisons. In the Cold-
bath-fields establishments there were 911 male and
289 female prisoners, and 19 children. The com-
mittee reported that, by the 29th instant, ample
arrangements could be made to carry into effect the
classification. In the Westminster prison there were
774 prisoners (564 males and 210 females). The com-
mittee reported that when the new arrangements
come into operation the services of twenty-one male
officers will be dispensed with, and that ten additional
female officers will be required in this prison ; And

execration, "Pull d—n you, pull! the blackguards,
the poachers, are going with the ret ; pull, pull,
pull ! D—n you, you scoundrel, at your peril, you
touch that net. Pull, pull !" Still Dick held his
grasp, and shouted to his companions, " Come on,
come on ; never mind that old fool. Take hold of
the net ; we must have it. Hold fast. Get hold of
the rope ! D—n you Robson, keep off with that knife;
we want no ripping here." At this juncture in
splashed a number more of the watchers, and John
de Penrith, brushing into the deepest of the fray,
waved a cudgel, the insignia of his office, and
shouted, while the stones were flying like hail,
" Seize, man, seize ! Cut and seize under the Solway
Act !" and John, suiting the action to the word, got
hold of the net, and shouted "A knife, a knife !"
In the meantime Jackson Mounsey and old John
Robson were struggling in the turbid river like two
ferocious alligators. Now Jackson downed his anta-
gonist, and anon he rose again like a game old cock ;
then agsin a splash was heard like the falling of Round
Down Cliff, as poor old John was tumbled over 'Jackson's
buttock into the lumb ; and the ladies on the shore,
in accents almost inaudible, sighed " Poor old man—
oh dear, oh dear!" and the tender hearts of the chil •
dren yearned, and they clung to their parents•with
tears in their eyes, crying, " Poor old John, is he
dead, papa ? Mamma, is old John drowned ? We
shall get no more fish, shall we, mamma ? Oh dear,
are these men savages ?" Then a sound like thunder
again awaked the voice of echo in the Caves of Isis
Parlis, and that voice cried, as in a paroxysm of
fury, "D—n you, you great black elephant, you
are a d—d coward ; let the old man get up !" and
John de Penrith stuck to the net, shouting
" Knives, gentlemen! Cut and seize ! Slash away
the net, under the Solway Act!" and the voice of echo
was supposed to whisper from the den of Isis Perlis,'
" D—n it, Brougham, lets go in. No, no, Douro,
that won't do." At this moment in sprang two or
three more of the watchers with knives in their hands.
The net was immediately cut, and about eight yards
of it carried to the Cumberland side of the water ; and
the man who held it lifted his hands, swang it and
shouted, "This will be a lesson for the great cosmo-
polite. But old John Robson followed the captured
portion of the net to the opposite shore ; and when he
found that a recapture was impossible, he threw up
his hat, and challenged the best man amongst them
to single combat. " Bravo," reverberated the caves
of Isis Perlis ; and here, for the present, the curtain
drops.

CRADOCK V. PIPER.

The farther argutne•nts in this part-heard petition t f
appeal was then proceeded and occupied hi•; Lord-
ship the -whole mornintr. The Disc came before his
Lordship upon appeal from an crder of the, Vier-Chan-
cellor of England, directing the taxation of the costs r f
Mr. Watson, a solicitor, who is also a trustee c f the estate,
as costs between attorney and cheat. Thu taxing Master
had cons trued the order c f rrf 'Trice not as a general
order, but as one in which he was boutAl to take notice
of the solicit )r being a trustee, and therefore not entitled
to more than his charges and expenses ; but the Vice. -
Chancellor: thought; that it was Vac intention f the
testator, who- made him a truster, that he should have
his costa, and he made an order accordingly.
Mr. JAMES PARKER and Mr. WRIGHT argued in sur-
port of the appeal, that it had been the practice for
thirty years to refuse a solicitor, being a trustee, any
costs incurred in the execution of the trust, and they
challenged inquiry.
Mr. 13ETBELL and Mr. SIDEBOTTOM denied the uni-
formity of she practice, and also challenged inquiry. The
order was a general one to tax cost, and the Master bad
no discretion but to tax them without rrfi•rence to the
position of the solicitor.

JANUARY 14,

Mr. Child was sure that his client, who had never
had a complaint against him, would not now do so
for the sake of having a minute to spare, and he
would appeal to the good sense of the worthy magi.,-
trate, IN hethfr it was not absurd to think that he
would so offend.

TYRWHITT intimated that it was unlikely in
deed, and diunissecl the intimation.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

Samuel Spratley, chemist and druggist, a very
genteelly dressed young man, was charged with
hiving indecently assaulted Mary Williams, a little
rugged beggar girl, in Hyde-park.
The girl said she was nearly eight years old. She
was on the Serpentine about dusk •on Friday even-
ing, when the prisoner told her to follow hitn and
he would give her some bread. She followed him
until she came to some trees, where there was a
seat. The prisoner took her on his knee
and siid he would give her a penny. He searched his
pockets ;not having a penny, he gave her a pair of
kid gloves, and then attempted to take liberties. She
struggled and screamed, and some persons who had
been apparently watching then came up, and she
attempted to run away, but was brought back again,
and then she related what had taken place.
A police-constable produced a pair of kid glove=,
which the girl gave into his hands, stating she had
received them from the prisoner.
The prisoner said the winle charge was a mistake.
The girl came up to him and begged for some relief.
He told her to go away, but she would not, and she
followed him into Hyde-park, when finding she per-
sisted on being troublesome, he pushed her away, and
this had been construed into an attempt to take in-
decent liberties.

Mr. HUIDWICK was satisfied that the charge was
proved. It was impossible to overlook such scandalous
conduct in a place of public resort, and he should,
therefore, inflict a penalty of 51., or two months' im
prisonment. _ _

EXCHEQUER.—(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings in Banco.)
BOSANQUET V. SHORTRIDGE.
This action was brought to recover a very large sum
of money against the defendant, as one of the pre-
prietors of tho Newcastle, Shields, and Sunderland
Union Joint Stock Banking Company, which stopped
payment in 1848, and it was tried before the Lord
Chief Baron at the last sittings in London, when a ver-
dict was taken by consent for the plaintiff, with liberty
to move the Court above.
Sir F. THESIGER now moved for a new trial, in
accordance with leave reserved on the ground cf the
improper reception of evidence, and that the
verdict was against the evidence. The defendant,
who resides at South Shields, was possessed
100 shares in the back, and in July, 1847, he agreed to
sell 50 of them at 51. each, and the remaining 50 at
51., to a person named George Pringle Few, of New-
castle. The transfer was approved of by the mata;er
of the bank, and a ccttificate was drawn out and signed
by Virf e c f the mana;ing diractors; nct at a mf etlng of
the board, but septa•.ely at their Te,idences, and the
question arose whether the tran f r Ns as a legal one
under the deed of s:t lemvtt. It appea-ed that pre-
TIOUS to this: transuctton the bank Lai tern
suffering from the eff,cts r f the receLt commercial de-
pression, and found it DM'S: ary to anly to the Ba ,k of
England for a loan of 50,000'., which aas a lvanced on
the condition that no ti ansfers c f shares should take
place until it was repaid. In January, 1848, the alleged
transfer was dec22red at a meeting of the board null and
void, and the rale of Few was struck out t f the trans-
fer-book, and that of the defendant re-inserted. The
hank subsequently stopped payment, and it eas sought
to attach the defendant with liability as a proprietor in
respect of the present debt.—The Court granted a rule.

ITALY.

It is: rumoured that the POPE Will take up his
residance at Terracina,
vvh:ch will be garrisoned by
the Nettpoli,atis. It is generally believed in Rome
that Pro NoNo is himself most anxious to return,
but that he is kept under absolute personal restraint
by the King of NArLEs, who, in this instance, acts
as goaler to the Austrian and Russian Governments,
whose jealousy of French influence is such, that they
will not permit his return until Rome shall be evacu-
ated by the French. Thepqrti-pretre of France are also
intriguing with the Camarillo of Portici to prevent
the return of the POPE, with a view of embarrassing
the PRESIDENT of the French Republic. In the

TURKEY AND RUSSIA.

Letters from Constantinople of the 31stI1t. an-
nounce that diplomatic relations have been officially
renewed between Russia and Turkey, the difference
relative to the refugees of Widdin having been com-
pletely adjusted. The exchange of the protocol
took place on that day between M. TITOFF and
the Minister of Foreign Affairs. LATIFF BEY
Secretary to FEJAD EFFENDI, left on the
27th, in the Odessa steamer, to carry to St.
Petersburgh the protocol signed on the 26th,
the exchange of which had been retarded to afford
Count STEMMER, the Austrian Ambassador, time to
receive instructions from his Government to concur
in it. Those instructions, however, had not
arrived on the 31st. ACIIMET EFFENDI, first drago-
man of the Divan, had been appointed Commissioner
of the Porte in the Danubian provinces, in place of
FUAD EFFENDI. Other letters of a private kind
confirm fully this pleasing intelligence. The
last-mentioned accounts add that the Poles
implicated in the late Hungarianinsurrection are to
be confined in the town of Koniab, in Asia Minor.
Neither the Porte nor any foreign Power can for the
future protect political delinquents flying from Russia
or Austria into Turkey. No person, however, fur-
nished with an English or French passport can be
seized by the Russian or Austrian authorities whilst
in the Ottoman territory, unless the crime he is
charged with be fully proved before the Ambassador,
Consul, or agent cf the Government whose passport
he holds.

TO THE EDITOR OF 7HE SUN.

Stn,—A paragraph which appeared in your im-
pression of the Bth instant, having described an
insolvent " who applied for his ^discharge at the
Insolvent Court, Portugal-street," as Manager
of the American Bowling Saloon in the
Strand, and as such a statement is calculated
very much to prejudice my interest, and might be
mistaken for my establishment, will you kindly
favour me by stating that the only " American
Bowling Saloon" in the Strand is that of which
am the proprietor, at No. 393.

THE NELSON MONUMENT.-0a Friday night the
premises of Me:ism Wood, bi•assfounders, in Baldwin'L-
g trclenF, were broken into, and we regret to hear tha a
considerable quat.V.ty of ornamental moulding connected
with the monument of the immortal Nelsor, which that
firm were bronzing, was stolen from their worskhops. It
is to ho hoped that the &rot ti the police are now making
to recover the valuable propm.ty may b succ.ssfJ, or a
more serious delay to this national but negleet9,d tribute
must neceEtwily occur.

STRANGE CREDULITY.

A singular case of audacious imposition and ridi-
culous credulity occurred at Gosport last week. A
woman called at a house in Chapel-street to inquire
if there were any umbrellas or parasols wanted mend-
ing. The servant girl informed her that there was
not ; upon which she said to the girl, who is a raw
import from the country, " Good luck attend you,
my dear ; shall I tell your fortune, or rule your
planets ?" The girl replied that she had no money.
However, after a little persuasion, and a promise on
the part of the sybil that she would tell her " the
young man's name," she gave her threepence. This,
however, was not enough to bribe Fate, and so the
creature said she must cross her hand with a piece of
silver or gold. The girl went to her box and fetched
sixpence for her. Upon which she went away,
saying she must go to the bottom of the street to
see if she could " turn the seven stars for sixpence:'
The seven stars, however, appear to have been exceed-
ingly stubborn, as she returned for some more money;
the girl, however, had no more, so she asked for some
articles of clothing that had :no holes. Forthwith a
shawl and petticoat were produced by the credulous
simpleton; the woman _took them away and said she
would bring them back next morning at seven o'clock.
However, in about two hours she came back, bring-
ing another woman with her, declaring—such rub-
bish as we should scarcely imagine the most degraded
savage would believe. By their united persuasions
they induced her to lend them another gown and a
shawl, and went away promising all sorts of presents,
and, most delightful of all, telling her that she should
be a wife in three months, and the mother of four
children ! They then left, promising to return the
articles of clothing the following morning. It is
almost useless to say that neither Fate nor the "seven
stars" have as yet forwarded any of the rich presents ;
and the sybil has entirely failed in returning any of
the clothing of which she so mercilessly fleeced this
silly servant-maid.

ALGERIA.

A deplorable accident took place on the 1311 at
Oran, on the exercise-ground of the garrison. Some
of the soldiers having seen a snake in the grass, pur-
sued it, and the reptile, in order to escape, crept
into a cannon which had been left there since the
last time the artillery were firing at a mark. The
men, not supposing that it was loaded, determined
to smoke the snake out of its hiding•place. One of
them accordingly thrust some lighted material in at
the end, whilst another put down a lighted stick into
the t,ltch- hole. The piwce at once went off, killing
one man, and wounding three others more or less se-
verely. These latter were taken to the hospital,
where hopes were entertained of saving their lives.
Letters from Bona (Algeria) state that a forgery
has just been discovered in that place which pro-
duced the greatest sensation. The interpreter of
the court of law, who is also deputy mayor, had
put into circulation false promissory notes to a
large amount, in the name of the president of the
court. Some persons say that the amount is not less
than 100,000 f. The delinquent at once took to flight,
leaving .a letter declaring that he intended to commi
suicide. This, however, he did not effect, as he wat
arrested the next day, with a Jew, said to be his acs
complice.

appear in the papers of last evening.
A considerable number of the editors of the pro-
vincial journals have arrived in Paris, to impress in
person on the representatives of their respective de-

law. One in particular, who has great influence in
his department, and who contributed powerfully to
the success of the 'Moderate candidate, has declared
that if the law be persevered in by the Government
he will use that influence against its candidates in
any future re-elections.
