THE EMPEROR OF RUSSIA.

This morning, before nine o'clock, a considerable number
of persons had assembled in Dover-street for the purpose of
catching a glimpse of his Imperial Majesty, who, it was
understood, would leave the Embassy (Ashburnham House),
at an early hour, for the purpose of paying various visits.
About nine o'clock a party of the C division of police, under
Mr. Superintendent Baker, were posted near the gates to
preserve free ingress and egress, and even at that hour their
services were found necessary, several of the nobility and
gentry having then called and left their names, and up to
twelve o'clock the influx had been considerable, attended
with some inconvenience, arising from the small size of the
lodge, and consequent difficulty of access to the books in
which the autographs were taken.
VISIT TO STORR AND MORTIMER'S.

This splendid and unique establishment was the first to be
honoured with the August Emperor's commands. On Sa-
turday night, as late as twelve o'clock, a message was sent to
Messrs. Hunt and Roskell, known as Storr and Mortimer,
the eminent jewellers and silversmiths, in New Bond-street,
intimating that his Majesty would be there as early as nine
o'clock on Monday morning, which being much earlier than
the attendants are usually present, caused some considerable
bustle to prepare for his Majesty's reception. Two of
the Royal carriages and Colonel Wyld were in Dover-
street for the service of the Emperor at an early hour, but
shortly before ten o'clock they drove away, and in five minutes
afterwards the Imperial Monarch proceeded in his private
barouche, attended by Baron Brunnow, Count Orloff, and
suite, to that celebrated emporium of tastefully arranged
gems and precious metals, Messrs. Storr and Mortimer, and
having been conducted over the establishment by the prin-
cipals, repeatedly expressed his admiration at the beauty of
the construction, and the costliness and magnificent display
of bijouterie contained in this well known establishment. His
Majesty concluded his visit by making some most liberal
purchases, consisting of valuable diamond and other rings,
pins, brooches, necklaces, earrings, bracelets, seals, chains,
&c. His Majesty then proceeded to visit Lord Heytesbury,
formerly ambassador to the Court of Russia, and whom his
Majesty esteems as a private friend; from thence he pro-
ceeded to pay several visits to other noblemen who have
been connected with Russian diplomatic missions. His Ma-
jesty left for Windsor Castle at three o'clock.

BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY).
(Before Mr. Justice COLERIDGE.)

LN THE MATTER OF THE QVEEN V. ARTHUR SAMUEL CAULES.

Mr. HORSE, in this case, moved for a rule to show cause
why the attorney for the prosecution, Mr. Heywood, should
not pay the defendant 86/. 9s. 6d. The indictment was pre-
ferred against the defendant for erecting a stall in the High-
street of Dartmouth, but on the Learned Judge saying he
would tell the jury that the question they had to try was
whether the stall was erected with bona fides, the attorney
for the prosecution offered to withdraw the indictment, and
pay the costs of the day, which was assented to. Several
notices were served on Mr. Heywood that they were about to
tax the costs, but he never appeared. The costs were ulti-
mately taxed to the amount of 86/. 9s. 6d.—Rule granted.
