presence of a witness, if by that letter be hoped to extort
money. The fact was, that Captain Thorn had only in-
tended to do a service to all parties.
Mr. Beadon gave an 'elaborate review of the evjdence:
and said the only conclusion to which he could arrive wait,
that Thorn had taken the letter to Mr. Cadogan's housefly
the expectation of obtaining money. 'That being so, the
case was clearly brought under the clause of the act which
made it an offence to publish a libel, for the purpose of ex-
torting money, The publication of the libel had been
sufficiently proved, and so had the connection and corre-
spondence of Evans and Thorn in the transaction. He
should send the defendants before a jury on the whole of
the charges contained in the summons, and the prosecutor
might afterwards determine the form in which the indict-
ment should be framed.
TLe defendants were then ordered to find good sureties
to take their trial for libel.

perfectly resemble the natural teeth as not to be-distinguished from
he original by the closest observer; they will never change colour or
lecay, and will be found very superior to any teeth ever before used.
Phis method does not require the extraction of roots, or any painful
,aeration, and will support and preserve teeth that are loose, and is
guaranteed to restore articulation and mastication; sad that Mr.
Howard's Improwment may be within the reach of the mo=t econo-

CHARGE OF STEALING SlLK—William Morris, 25, a
maker, and John Whale, were indicted for
stealing a large quantity of seeing ai►k, valued at 1301.,
the propeity of the Messrs. Barnard, residing iu Cheap•
side. Morris pleaded guilty.
From the evidence it appeared that Morris was ern-
plo3ed in the war,house of the prosecutors, and in that
capacity robbed them of a large quantity of silk, which
was found in the possession of Whale. Morris,
from his own statement, was in the habit of steal-
ing large quantities of silk, which he sold to
Whale, who it was contended did not know thatlhe was
in the mil iy of Messrs. Barnard. It also appeared that
in the c,,urse of two or three months no less than 30
transac iims took place between the prisoners, the quan-
tity of silk sold averaging ab ut a pound. Whale
had been frequently seen in the premises of Messrs.
Barnard, in a portion of the premises in which
Morris was en ;a ed.

THE ARMY.

Col. NORTH asked whether it was true that officers
who were to be appointed to the regiments about to be
raised were now employed on the recruiting service, but
were only receiving their halt-pay.
Sir J. RA MSDEN believed that the question referred
to those officers whom it was proposed to appoint to
two of the new battalions about to be raised. As soon as
the names of those officers had been seen and approved
by her Majesty they would appear in the London Gazette.
In the meantime they hi..d been directed to go down to
the head•goarters of the -new battalions, to receive any
recruits who might arrive. Until their names appeared
in the Gazette, which would be in a few days, it would be
impossible for them to receive their full pay.
CJI. NORTH understood teat those officers bad been
sent to all parts of England and not to head-quarters.
Bir J. RAMSDEN believed they had only been sent
to the head-quarters of the new battalions.
RAILWAY BETWEEN MADRAS AND
BA.NGALORE.
- _

Mr. ROBERTSON asked what steps were being
taken to complete the railway eamrranuittation between
Madras and Bangalore.
Mr. V. sniff" believed that no steps had been
taken for constructinz this line, The rule laid down by
the directors of the Eu;t India Company was that the
trunk lines should be completed before they consented
t the formation of branch lines, and the trunk line to
Madras was not yet completed. It was true that Ban-
galore was one of the principal military stations o:` the
Madras Presidency, and a proposal having been male
to construct a rail way from Bangalore to Madras, with
a promise that it should not interfere with the progress
of the trunk line, the directors now had the proposal
under their consideration.
FINANCES OF GREECE.

Mr. SPOONER wished to ask the Government whe-
ther any report had been received from the cornali.ision-
ere appointed by the protecting Powers to inquire into
the finances of Gre-ce, and if there were any prospect
that their bettor admirlis.iration would r.lieve the Con-
solidated Fund of any portion of the, annual charge for
interest on the Greek Loan guaranteed by Great Britain
which was not paid.
Lord PALMERSTON said that a commission had
been appointed by the three protecting Powers t) rxl-
- into the state of the finances of Greece, and to
make a report to their Government. In the meantime
they were instructed to suggest to the Greek Govern.
ment any remarks or improvements which might sug-
gest themselves during the progress of their inquiries.
The commissioners had not yet made their report. The
Greek Government had given them every fair facility for
the prosecution of their inquiries, but he was afraid he
could not hold out the expectation that their labours
would lead to any earlier fulfilment by the Greek Go-
vernment of their engagern:rnt themselves to pay the in-
terest of the sinking fund of their loan.

ANTWERP REGATTA.
ANTWERP, AUG. 19.
0 ing to a number of English crews having entered
to row at this regatta, an immense number of spectators
assembled to witne,s the var.:oils contests. There were
seven races in the programme, five of which came off.
The first was a pair-oared race arnongst natives in their
own heavy boats. A. four-oared race, in Balgian-built
boats, followed, for hick five crews starttd, viz.:—
The Lambeth, the Wandsworth, the London (mixed )
the 04tnd, and Amsterdam. They camein as follows:
Wandsworth 1
Amsterdam
London (mixed)
Lambeth
Ostend
The'London crew were given the second prize in conse-
quence of the Amsterdam boat touching a buoy.
After a sailing match and a rare by boys in four-oared
boats, came the great race, for which there were six
crews stationed as follows

1. Lambeth (red) I 4 Ostend
2. London (mixed)...(whito) I 5. Amsterdam (red andblue)
3. Wandsworth ...(red and 16. Rotterdam
white) yellow)
In consequence of coming:to row in a different boat
than the one they entered, the 0-tend crew were not al-
lowed to start. The Lambeth crew got badly off. They
aIl rowed very close together, the London leading, hut
not getting' much advantage. The three London
crews were in advance at the first turn, previous 'to
hich some fouling took place between the Lambeth and
London. Oa returning past the stand the Wandsworth
lied a good load, Lambeth seoond, and the London close
behind. They reached the winning post in the following
order :

Wandsworth - 1
L unbeth
London (mixed) 3
Amsterdam 4
Rotterdam
The London crew objected to the Lambeth receiving
the second prize, in consequence of having taken the
wrong side of a vessel shortly after pawing the stand •
and, after hearing evidence, the umpire decided
against Lambeth—thus awarding the second prize to the
London (mixed) crew in this race also.
