(Before Mr. Secondary t'arrEß.)
FLEMMING V. PARKER.

This was an action on a bill of exchange, of which the defendant
was alleged to be the inuorsee. The tiefendant had pleaded that
he did not indorse the bill, but which plea he now abandoned. He,
hue, ever, made an application that exe ution should be stayed
until he could apply to the Court above, on the ground that the
action was prematu►e, as it hau b.en commenced on the very 'lay
on which the bill became due, ana that therefore he had not had a
reasonable time to pay it.
For the plain dr it was urged, that as the on 'y plea on therecord was
that the defendant dot not accept the bill, but as it was proved that
he did so, no question arose on the record which would justify toe
Learned Secondary in retaining the writ.

'the SECoNIUMY said that with regard to the bringing the action
on the day the mil bec,ime due, he mu not kinow any le;;;111 otjec-
Min. He did not consider he had any power to retain th^ tint, ati
there did riot appear any eriur on the ii.coid, oi any deficiency of
pros I. The deli licant, however, could go before a judge, and make
an application to stay execution until the Court above could b►
applien to.
A verdict was given for the amount claimed

Edward Jones, Robert Grosvenor, and Charles Cobbett, young
men of fashionable appearance, were placed at the bar charged
with drunken and disorderly conduct, and also with violently as-
saulting the police in the execution of their duty.
William Metcalfe, police-sergeant, No. 133 of the C division,
stated that about four o'clock this morning as he was on du y
Charles-street, St. James's square, he saw the defendants conduct.
ing themselves in a very disoiderly manner, screaming, hooting,
and shouting, and causing so much noise that set eral of the inhabi-
tants were aroused in alarm from their beds, and were looking out
of windows to ascertain the cause. On his requesting the defen-
dants to move on in a peaceable manner they made use of grossly
abusive language, and Jones and Grosvenor attacked and struck
and kicked him several times ; he seized one in each hand arid they
all fell together, he being uppermost, and while they were
struggling on the ground, the defendant Cobbett assaulted witness
several times by striking him over the head with the butt-end of
his walking cane; he also took his rattle out of his pocket and was
afterwards seen to throv. it away. Other constable., coming to
witness's assistance, the defendants were, after a protracted resist-
ance, so violent that in the course of it their clothes were literally
torn from their backs, secured. They were all very drunk, and at
the station-house they described themselves as gentlemen, but re-
fused to give their address.

Police-constable William Baston, 83 of the C division, ccrro-
borsted this statement. He was also assLulted by Grosvenor.
Mr. MALTBY asked the defendants it they wished to say anything
in their defence Y—Jones said, if the police had spoktn properly
to them, no doubt they should have passed on without any dis-
turbance. Grosvenor said he had no answer to make. Cobbett
said he had no recollection of what had taken place.
Mr. MALTBY said he should tine them 51 each, or, in default of
payment, two months to hard labour in kVestinincer Brtdt•weil.

[fie defendants, not having the amount required about thetn,
were locked up until they could procure it.

CREMORNB HOUSE.—The house and grounds on
the banks of the Thames, just beyond Chelsea, once the residence
of the late Lord Cremorne, and since then known to the public by
occasional fetes and exhibitions got up by the late baron de Berenger,
have been opened for the present a...ason, under a new lessee, and
with a spirit and an enterprise which promise and deserve success.
This place, which is capable of rivaling Vauxhall or ancient
llanelagli, has unfortunately been hitherto very badly managed
as a place of public amusement; and as those who went there
un..er the management of the last.named Perron—now no more
—seldom or ever found much to be pleased with, the place
fe 1 almost into oblivion, or was, at most, rarely thought of.
On Monday the season there (if it may be so termed) was
commenced under very favourable auspices. There has been a
judicious outlay of a lerge sum of money. A ban luetting.room
has been built, an extensive kitchen laid out, an ample store of
those things which attract the lovers ot good living provided, hosts
of waiters, and so forth, retained, end a sort of semi.dramatic corps
of employes engaged tinder the direction of the celebrated Mr. T.
Mattnevre, of Drury-lane 1 heatre, the greatest pantomimist of the
day. lhese persons, liabited as Robin Hood and his merry men,
Friar Tuck, Maid Marian, Scathelock, &c., with jocund bands of
morrice dancers, perform a sort of sylvan interlude in the woods of
the premises. There are dancing, archery, the songs of outlaws,
and the sports of quarter staff. All this is well managed.
Then come rope-dancing, the tricks of jugglers, and other such
like pastimes. There is a good otchestra, and an effective band
of musicians. The grounds are very delightful, the walks and
trees and shrubs veroant and refreshing to " one in smoky cities
pent," and who is wilting to breathe a little fresh air at a t ery small
expense on the banks of the river. To-day the veterant aeronaut,
Mr. Green, whose services have been secured, is to ascend for the
SOlsr time, accompanied by ten persons, from the gardens in his
monster bal,oon. Tire grotinue %vete well patronized for an
opening day, and the company continued to enjoy the scene
and the variety of amusements for many hours. The interior of
the house has undergone some very judicious alterations, and it is
now a commodious place of public amusement well worthy of
general support.

- EAST —INDIA MAILS.—SoUTHAINIPTON, JUNE 24,
Six O'CLOCK, P.M.—The Great Liverpool has Just arrived in the
Docks from Alexandria, and is landing the East India and China
mails, which will be forwarded to London by to-night's mall. She
left Alexandria on the 12th instant. This is the first of the
India boats that has not stopped at the Mother bank to perform her
quarantine.

The Great Britain iron steam-ship arrived in
Kingstown harbour on Sunday, about two o'clock. The utmost
anxiety prevailed to witness her arrival, as the vessel was expects('
on Saturday evening, and her non-arrival gave rise to several ru-
mours, all of which proved happily unfounded. At half-past one
the magnificent outline of the Great Britain was seen looming on
the horizon, and in, half an hour " the living mass," hull, spars,
and rigging, proudly bearing up against a head wind, entered
Kingstown harbour, and anchored at the old jetty, bailed by the
cheers of countless thousands who had assembled to witness the
event. Vast crowds visited the vessel.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDEII7; LADY.—On Monday
morning, between eight and nine o'clock, a most fortunate dis-
covery was made of an attempted suicide by the lady of
Augustus Mentineto, Esq., residing in Albany.street, Re..
gent's.park. About six weeks since the unfortunate lady
(who is only twenty years of age) was confined with her
first child, and having quitted her bedroom too soon, she
caught a violent cold, which brought on milk fever. On Mon.
day morning she appeared considerably better, and quite
tranquil, and asked her attendant to go clown stairs into the par.
lour and request Mr. Mentineto to come and spe,:k to her. The
nurse quitted the room and proceeded a short distance down the
stairs, but suspecting wrong, she returned and found the unfoi.
a silk handkerchief to the bed-
tunate lady busily engaged tying
post, which she bad first fastened round her neck, for the purpose
of suspending herself. She was immediately secures.
STORM AT ST. CALAIS.--A letm• of thy. Ilth
inst., from St. Calais, in the Sarthe, represents the storms in that
country to have been most destructive. The waters came down
from the F urroundiog hill, until they rose in St. Calais to the
height of eight feet, brieging with them masses of rock, which,
by their force broke into shops and destroyed quantities 'it
goods. The harvests are lost, the rods ploughed up by the tor-
rents, bridges Woken down, mills and houses demolished.
