QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.)

BLANCHARD V. RIPLEY

This was an action tried at the last sitting here before
Mr. Justice Wightxan. It was an action brought by
the plaintiff, the owner of a barge, against the defendant,
the proprict ir of a brig employed in the coal trade, to
recover compensation for the injury which his barge had
sustained in consequence of the regligence of the ser-
vants of the defenOar&, a collision having taken place
between them at Cuckhold's Point, near Woolwich.
The verdict went for the plaintiff—damages, 20/.
Mr. KNOWLES now moved for a rule to show cause
why the verdict should not be set aside, on the ground
that the verdict was againt the evidence. The brig, he
said, was proceeding to Whitby in ballast, but owing to
the low Leis a the tide was lying in the sand at the
time. The barge vv.is proceeding up the river t ) Ham-
mersmith fully loaded with sand. Now, upon the show-
ing of the plaintiff himself, the verdict ought to have
gone for the defendant. According to the rules
which governed the mode of navigating the
river, the barge, instead of proceeding directly on,
ought to have given way, whilst the brig ought to have
proceeded on her course unchecked—the barge being on
the larboard and the brig on the starboard. Such was
the strict observance a the custom, that three barges
about the period in question allowed the brig to pass in
the way he had caaied. Had the brig altered her course
her head could have been timed to the wind, she
would have been driven l ask, and a collision would have
been almost inevi'ahle. Besidt-s, bad the brig really
struck the barge, as was alleged, she must have sunk
her, as the tarp was leaded to the weter's edge, whereas
the brig was high out of the water. He was iestructid,
therefore, to say that tie brig was pelf etly still at the
time, though the persons in the barge swore that she
was in fill sail. He disproved this distinctly at the
trial by eight respectable witnesses who were in the brig
at the time, and Mr. Roland, the harbour-master, who
hi are the whole of tie case, and who had been sub-
uceaaed by both partiee, showed the custom to be as he
st ,ted it.
Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN said it appeared t) him that
the witnesses re'erre€l t ) could not have been mistaken.
Mr. KNOWLES said the Court must not look at the
small amount of Vie damages, hut at the fact t` at eight
reape otwile persons ha t really been convicted rf perjury,
ant it cas most important to their characters that the
verdict should not ,tand.
The COURT det:rred it; decision urfl they hal hal
as upporain.ty of perusing Mr. Justice Wightman's
nct,s.

LEGALITY OF TELE ARGYLL ROOMS.-TEIE QUEEN V.
BRIER AND OTHERS.
___

Mr. NT. CHAMBERS moved for a rule calling, upon the
ch f manta t show raise why a procedendo ehould nit
issue in this care, which bad been removed by certiorari
from the Cent at Criminal Court int ) this Court. This
was a proxecution tet„: retest the dt feneae is fir keeping a
disorderly house f music aid da icing, entitled the
Argyll Rome, in Windmill- t. eet ; aid an ic-
dictwent against them was tou.icl a: tie la t
qua' ter sessions f:r the county cf
Middle-
sex. The chaTe wai preferred on the strength of
the 25th of th,o. IF., the opening of the rooms in criee-
tion bring altogether opposed to the letter and spirit of
that Act. The question which he intended to raise wee,
whether this Gant had the power to issue a certiorari
to remove en indictment c f this nature into this Court,
from the Central Criminal Court. The indictment was
found at the Qeerter Stations f Middlesex, on the 5 h
of December last. After it was futiur!, the prosecutor
caused the prosecution to be removed to the Central
Criminal Com t, to be there tried under the provisions
of the Central Criminal Court Act. Atter it' had been
so remover', the defendants went before Mr. Justice
Patteson at Chambers, and without directing his atten-
tion t) the provisions of the 25th of Geo. 11., obtlined
an order from him to bring the indictment into this
Court.
Mr. Justice PATTESON said, if his recollection served
him, the pointed was raised ha ire him.
Mr. CHAMBERS was prepared to contend that this
Court had no jurisdiction in the matter, because the Act
of George IT., which must be read in connexion with
the Central Criminal Court Act, preven'ed the removal
of a prosecution instituted under that Act into this:Court.
The Central Criminal Court Act stated that sessions under
it shonid be held twelve times a year, thus providing
for the speedy trial of offenders; and the effect of the
removal of the prosecution into this Court would have
the effect of enabling the defendants to keep open their
disorderly house, and reap unlanful gains from it, for a
considerable time before the prosecution against them
could be brought to an issue. The case having been re-
moved frem the sessions to the Central Criminal Court
this Court could not interfere. lie wish the indictale t
to be sent back to the Central Criminal Court. The
proceedings c f the defendants were altogether illegal.
They had applied for a licence, which had been re-
fessd, showing cit arly their intention to open a place
sof amusement The bills they put. fire and stated teat
" pupils" might become members of a " dancing aca-
demy," and learn dancing, and might pay either by the
lesson or by the quarter, but any one might pay a shi!-
Log at the door, as at a theatre, and either dance or
merely become a spectator of the dancing or a listen, r
to the musie.—(Laughter.)
Mr. Justice PATTESON said, it had been clearly held
that a dancing master might open a place as an academy
for music and dancing without acting illegally, unless lie
admitted persons indiscriminately.
Mr. M. CHAMBER3-ob, yes; but the pretence of a
dancing academy by these parties is a mere blind; their
purpose is obvious.
Mr. Justice PATTESON said, it was not the custom of
the Court to entertain such a question as that raised with`
respect to the power of a judge at chambers.
Mr. CHAMBERS said, the Court would not object to
review the order of a judge at chambers if aught had
been kept back. A case if this kind would come under
the term " improvident issue."
Mr. JusVce PATTESON said he could not sea how the
two acts could be incorporathd. The certiorari carrying
the indictment to the Central Criminal Court, was moved
fir by the prosecutor, and it having got to tee Central
Criminal Court, he thought that ttie ch fandant hal a
right—he did not say that the prose cut it had—to lave
the indicttreat dealt with as one found at the Central
Criminal Court. Whether he was right or wrong in
what he hal done, this at least was perfctly char to
him, that the JudgeS had the jurisdiction which Mr.
Chambers contended they bad not. There was an end,
in this case, of the clause relied on in the Act of Geo. 11.
The certiorari must, therefore, stand.
Application refised.

COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.)
The Court sat in banco this morning, but the pre-
ceediugs were wholly devoid of public interest—a sur-
veyor's bill in one case, and a t 3r's rert of a house
in antther, being the poirts on which applications were
male t s the Court to set aside alverse verdicts in tria!s
at Nisi Prins.

BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Justice ERLE.)
EX PARTE TEATHER.

Mr. WELLS moved the Court fir a rule nisi, calling
upon the Poor-law Commissioners to show cause why a
mandamus should not issue requiring them to restore
Mr. Luke Alvonley Teacher to the.situation of relieving-
offi..)er cf the Godstone Unior, in the county of Surrey.
Mr. Teacher held this office for the last fourteen years,
and on the 2d inst. he was removed by an order cf the
Commissioners without any reason being assigned. The
question involved in this case would turn upon the con-
struction ( f the Poo:-law Amendment Ac►, which gave
the Commissioners power to direct boards of guardians
to appoint their paid officers. It, however, could hardly
be supposed that the Act gave -hem the arbitrary power
of dismissing those paid officers without previous in-
quiry, or assigning some reason f)r doing se, though it
had been hel,), in the case of the Queen v. the Guardians
of Braintree, the Court had no power to disturb the orders
or decisions( f the Commissioners; but it would seem f om
the terms cf the decision in that ease that the Court
meant that it bail no power to interfere with a resolution
of the Commissioners come to after
Mr. Justice ERLE wa•. clearly of opinion that the Act
of Parliament gave the Commissioners power to dis-
charge, but could the Learned Counsel show him any
authority that this power must be exercised after
inquiry.

Mr. WELLS had look,r.d through the books carefully, hut
be had certainly not been able to find any case, analag-ous
to He put to Lis Lordship that rat
tice might'b done to individulls if this arbitrary F.,5.-er
really did exist in the Poor -'a v roar since they could
discharge any paid other, no rnattET whether he wcro

meson or cause for it.

MARLBRO'-STREET—(THIS DAY.)
PICKING POCKETE.—Charks Besf,a well-known this f;
was cha-ged before Mr. !Ingham with robbing a lady
of her purse, containing 255.
Ch( ckley, 184 C, stated that about six o'clock on
Saturday evening he rai on duty in Coventry-street,
when his attention was called to the prisoner, wire, with
four others not in custody, were " dodging" the steps f
seve? al lather. Witness a ached their movements, and
saw the prisoner walk up to the ride f a ]_eddy and follow
her for some dis'aice, covered by the other mer. On
arriving at the corner of Windmill-street, he distinctly
raw the prisoner put his hand into the lady's pocket,
and quickly withdraw The prisoner and his com-
panions then ran up Windmili-street as fast as they
could, and a person who was with witness went acer the
lady and a certained that she had been robbed t f her
purse, containing 255. and some f rreign coins. The lady
subsequently proceeded to the station and gave her name
and address, but she row declined to come fit-ward to
prosecute. About an hour afaxwards witness went to
the Oak public-house., Seven Dials, where he saw the
prisoner and took him into custody. O❑ searching him
at the station 16e. was found upon him. The constable
added that the prisoner was a notorious pickpocket, and
had been several times convicted fur that offence.
The prisoner, who protested his innocence, was com-
mitted to the House t f Correction for three months.

THE sAINTs AT WORK AGAIN.
From half-past eight o'clock until noon, on Sun-
day last, Leather-lane, Holborn, was one continued
scene of uproar. Some perish officials, with a party
composed of the A and G divisions of police, paraded
the neighbourhood, and in no measured sentences
ordered the shopkeepers to close their establishments,
and desist from Sunday trading, under a threat that
they would seize upon their goods ; and actually they
had provided two or three vans to remove the things,
though none were carried away, the parties well
knowing that they would have violated the law, if
they had resorted to any such violent measures. Toe
newspaper placards were an object of peculiar an-
noyance. They were forcibly removed and thrown
into the shops, and the newsvenders were commanded
to tear those down which were pasted on their shut-
ters. One individual, coming from Hatton-garden up
Charles-street, was not allowed to cross Leather-lane
because he had a basket on his arm. He was driven
back, and obliged to proceed round Holborn to his
destination. The proceedings altogether were lawless
and reckless, and never would have been
tolerated, or even winked at, by the Com-
missioners of Police. One of the Saints, an
undertaker, rendered himself more conspicuous than
his fellows. He actually prevented a poor half-
starved wretch from selling a ha'porth of onions. This
identical hypocrite, after he and his party had finishsd
the onslaught, was actually seen following his
" worldly calling on the Lord's Day," by walking
with stately gait and measured step, heading a
funeral procession, and putting on a professional
visage as long as a man's arm. Not only, however,
was Leather-lane a scene of confusion ; Gray's Inn-
lane had a taste of what the Saints would do if they
had power. A man named Neale, who is an In-
spector of Nuisances, entered the newsvendors' shops,
and, though no obstruction was risible or existed,
ordered all the newspaper placards to be torn down.
This meddling official was accompanied by the
"Paving. Board," who were headed by the Police.
No previous notice bad been given of their intention.
The visitation was sudden and unexpected, and the
execution of the design was accompanied by a
roughness of manner that indicated what the parties
would accomplish if they were left to do as they
please. We have no hesitation in stating that their
conduct, and the proceedings of the Leather-lane
existence to punish parties
on the Sabbath. It is an
Solons, were altogether opposed to law. An Act of

Act as old as the hills, and not suited to the present
state of society. We should as soon think of apply-
ing it to meet a case of the present day as going from
London to Edinburgh in a stage-waggon. None but
the most bigotted men, steeped to the chin in the
feculence of intolerance, or toadies to a rector, would
bring a man within its provisions. Leather-lane is
surrounded by a poor neighbourhood. Hundreds of
men are not paid their wages until a late hour on
Saturday night, when business is closed or c!osing.
It is of importance to such people that they should
have the opportunity of procuring little articles of
necessity on Sunday mornings. They do not go
drunk to market, but peaceably and quietly. No
riot or confusion is created. Tne saints would like
a few rotten eggs thrown at them as an excuse for
bludgeoning the people at the hands of the police. If
the law be violated, the violators are the Maw worms
and the police, and it is high time that a stop
were put to such unworthy, un-Christianlike
proceeding; which involve a neighbourhood in
uproar, and instead of making people reli-
gion°, crsate animosity and dislike towards
those who ought to live on terms of charity with
their neighbours. near Mr. Fox, who, in his excellent
" L cture on the Use and Abuce of Sunday," says
I condemn no man's practice, who is conscien-
tious and consistent, as far as his intellect penetrates.
If I were asked the question, `What is keeping the
Sabbath holy ?' I should reply, It is in each fie:-
lowing out the best and purest impulses of his being,
wherever they may lead him.' He who, feeling what
little advantage he has had fir the cultivation of his
mind, retires to his own poor study, there shuts out
the world,' and calls home his thoughts ;' who ap -
plies f..ir instruction to those who in all ages and
countries, whether we denominate them sacred or
profane, have spoken the words of wisdom and truth ;
who there endeavours to raise his mind to a com-
panionship with the noblest spirits of the earth, and
imbibe from them the inspiration of that wisdom
which is paramount over all earth's concerns—he toe,
I say, is keeping holy the Sabbath-day.' He vvlio,
having be ea during six days in the populous city
pent,' feeling his mind and body both stifled thereby,
its atmosphere unwholesome, and its streets, lanes,
and squares, wearisomely associated with his daily
mechanical employments, flies away from all this,
and gets out of it—who wants a sense of the external
freeness of. the air to give him a sensation of freeness of
spirit, why he, too, I say, keeps holy the Sabbath-
day.' lie who is inevitably, but painfully disso-
ciated from those dear to him, through their separate
toiling and moiling all the week, but who, when the
Sunday comes, gathers his wife, children, and friends
around him in his household temple—who
makes it a day fur the cultivation of every
snocial feeling and affection—who gives the
heart its turn as well as the laborious hand
—why he, in his loves and fears' his sympathies and
hopes, he too keeps holy the Sabbath-day.' But
they who, in whatever place, and however consecrated,
meet together to encourage a sectarian exclusiveness,
to dwell on their own opinions as essential to the
belief and the salvation of all mankind—who are en-
couraging one another, not to love and good works,
but to presumption, bigotry, and evil works—who
are arrogating to themselves, not merely an establish-
ment of the good things of this world, but eternity
and heaven as their peculiar heritage—who thus dis-
sociate themselves from God's great family, and from
the Christian principle of universal love—why, I say, in
spite of all their forms and pretensions, they are the
great desecrators of the Sabbath-day."— Weekly

EXTENSIVE ROBBERY AT BRIGHTON BARRACKS.—
We are sorry ti add that another and a far more exten-
sive robbery than the last has taken place at the Cavalry
Barrack!, and, from the circumstances connected with it,
there does net appear much doubt of its having been
effected by persons well acquaietAl with the premises.
It appears that Colonel Ainslie went to the cirous on
Friday evening last, having taken the precaution to lock
up his rooms before he left.
.On his return, about eleven
o'clock, he unlocked the door, when he fmnd the floor
in confusion. The drawers were open, his dressing-case
was gone, and an agate box, coet.eining some valuable
jewellery, was not to be fjund. The thieves had carried
off a gold watch and the jewellery, consisted of gold
pins, chains and studs, diamonds, pearl!, money, &c., to
the value altogether of about 130/. It happens that
most of the articles bear the Owner's crest, and can be
easily identified. A" man, named Gladman, in the em-
ploy of the. Earl of Chichester, discovered the empty
dressing-case of Colonel Ainslie under a wall near the
barracks. The party that placed it there must have
gone through the barrack gates, which was guarded by
a soldier who was once charged bef,ere the magistrates
with being concerned in a felony at the barracks. It is
supposed that the afaro:fent& were entered by a dupli-
cate key. IsTc t long since the Colonel lost his key, and
was obliged to have another made; and the inference is
that the key was stolen for the purpose of effecting
a robbery. No clue •to the discovery of the
thief has been obtainee, although the utmost vigilance
has been used.--Brighton Gazette.
WHAT SHALL WE DO WITH OUR DEAD?—We still
do fear the mighty prejudice cf the people in favour of
the worm ; but the association just formed, as we last
week announced, for the solemn reinstitution of the
faneral pyre, will at least keep the question alive should
it NI to do much more. In the meantime, might we
farther suggo it, that until the public mind shall be some-
what floiiiiarized with this great sanitary idea, the diffi-
culty may be less to reconcile it to the practice of im
bedding each corpse in a cdffin filled up and compressed
with quick lime. Such a practice•would at first be less
repugnant perhaps t) Public feeling, and we do believe,
OA were the Legislature at once to establish it as a
law, the propriety of the practice would be silently,
though it might be with a sigh, acceded The last
office, previous to burial, acid after the last lingering look
had been taken, might be the formal spriiikling of the
dead with the best of all earth for the accomplishment
so sacred and anoint-an end as' this tunnnatyTetarn of
, "dust to dust."--,Builder.

EXTEMPORE DRAMAS.
(F.-om Eliza Cook's Joicrnal)

The ancients, it is Said, tusk their first ideas cf
theatrical represent ttion from a " Geec:an stroller,
singing in a cart to the honour cf Bacchus!' The
mysteries and moralities, so long the objects of
popular admiration, were first introduced by the
pilgrims, who composed and chanted songs deecrip-
tivecf he ir travels through the iioiy Laud, interspersed
with scenes taken from the Scriptures. Bands of
these devout men might be seen reciting in the
public streets, with staff in hand, and cloaks and
chaplets bedecked with shells and images collected on
consecrated shores. The populace edified by their
appearance, and the subjects which they dramatized,
at length erected stages for their exhibitions, which
in the middle ages formed one of the principal
honours paid to princes on their public entrance s.
So inherent in our nature is this inclination for the
dramatic art, that it discovers itself in the earliest
days of childhood ; to personate characters is one of
the favourite amusements among children, and in
their plays they may often be heard to keep up an
extempore dialogue between imaginary persons. The
Italians have been long celebrated for their perfection
and delight in spontaneous composition; their extem-
pore comedies is one of their principal amusements—
the only preparation which is necessary, being the
arrangement of the sceneries and the division of the
acts ; the dialogue and expression are left entirely to
those who take the parts ; if the drama pleases, which
is almost invariably the case, the representation is fre-
quently repeated, and while it retains all the interest
of the original plot, some alteration in the dialogue, or
change in the action, gives all the charms cf novelty.
The Italians who are wonderfully skilful in im-
promptu composition, seem peculiarly fitted for it by
the flow of their language, their inflections of voice, the
energy and animation of theirgestures, and those quick
changes of countenance, which are in a moment expres-
sive of the passion or humour they wish to represent. To
these natural powers in the performers may be ascribed
the popularity of many of their comedies, which ap-
pear to us in reading, childish and flimsy. Salvator
Rosa was an admirable performer on the Scanavia.
Among his inimitable comic repreientations the part
of a Calabrian peasant was his favourite. In explor-
ing the wild scenery which he loved to transmit is
his canvas?, he became so thoroughly acquainted with
the dialect and uncouth manners of the unformed
rustic, that his acting appeared identity. In every
mode of improviso performance he delighted his
audience, and his company was equally sought after
by all the fashionable circles of Home. When
yielding to the entreaties of those about him, he
would take his lute, whose music he so well knew
how to waken, and stringing the chords he enchanted
all by the feeling and grace of the extemporary
effusions, to which they were the prelude or the
accompaniment. Signor Pistrucci's performance in
London was long remembered. He composed extem-
porary on any given subject; that of Orestes was pro-
posed, the expression which he gave to the remorse
which he felt after he put his mother to death, his
flight, the vision cf the furies, and his disdain and
madness were so powerfully described, that the effort
he produced was overpowering. Among the impro-
visatori of Italy, many could be named who obtained
great celebrity, whose light and elegant fancies
adorned the most trifling theme so as to charm all
who listened. " The land on which the sun never
shone" was the theme which one of those gifted
minstrels drew at random from the bass, which con-
tained the slips on which the subjects were written.
Her audience remained breathless as she described in
sublime language the passage of the Israelites over
the Red Sea, and the destruction of its enemy in the
waters. The Song of Thanksgiving with which it
concluded, is said to have produced the most thrilling
effect. But among all the celebrated irnprovisatori
none were ever so followed and so enthusiastically
applauded as Signora Corilla, possessed of matchless
grace and beauty, and of genius which has been rarely
equalled. Once seen and heard she could never be for-
gotten. When she was prevailed on to exhibit her
powers she began generally accompanied by two violins,
though her manner might at first have been considered
cold, she soon kindled with her subject, and gave
the most eloquent and impassioned expression to her
feelings in her unpremeditated lay. The effect
was probably enhanced by her preyious diffidence.
The variety of her conceptions and , the elegance of
her diction charmed the most fastidious critics, and
none could see unmoved the varying countenance,
the changing colour, and the intellectual sensibi-
lity which lighted up her ayes. No one could hear
unmoved the inflections of that harmonious voice, as
its animated tones gave expression to some light and
joyous strain, or its exquisite pathos gave the most
touching effect to some wild or plaintive air. Such
was the wonderful rapidity and power with which she
expressed every feeling which her :theme awakened,
that many believe that she was under the influence of
inspiration, and she was often compared to the Pythian
priestess. It was on the 31st of August, 1776, that
the ladies of highest rank in Rome conducted Corilla
to the capitol to receive the crown awarded to her
genius. The ceremony was commenced by a dis-
charge of cannon which took place as the laurel
wreath was placed upon her head. After several
members of the academy had read their compositions,
questions were proposed to Corilla which she answered
inverse with a depth of feeling, an elegance and
vivacity which astonished and enraptured every one.
Most beautifully has Madame de Star' portrayed si-
milar endowments in her " Corinne," who it is said was
meant for Corille. A more striking picture of an im-
previsatrice in the moment of inspiration can nowhere
be met with than that where Corinne is represented as
sitting on the promontory of Misenum. The bay of
Naples and its surrounding scenery stretched before her
in the moonlight. The friends who were with her
proposed a subject. It was the associations con-
nected with the objects on which she looked. The
sadness of her situation, the contrast of melan-
choly feelings with those of happy days, all in-
spired the most eloquent and pathetic effusion that
could be conceived, and was exactly what might have
been the impassioned language of one in Corinne's
circumstances.
