PORTSMOUTH, JILY 27.—The Alfred, 50, bearing the broad
pendant of Commodore J. B. Purvis, late Commander-in-Chief on
the south-east coast of America, arrived at Spithead last evening
between five and six o'clock. She left Rio on the 4th ult., and
has made the passage thence to Spithead in seven weeks
and three days. She had seven days easterly wind off Scilly.
She left at Rio the Express, 6, Lieutenant-Commander Her-
rick, which was the only man•ef-war at Rio at that date.
The General Palmer, transport, sailed for England four days
prior. The Salamander, steam-sloop, Commander Hammond,
was at Otaheite, and the Curacoa, 24, Captain Sir T. S. Pasley,
Bart., up the River Plate. The Gorgon, steam-frigate, Cap-
tain Hotham, was at Monte Video, under orders for England; and
the Frolic, 16, Commander Hamilton, had gone to Buenos Ayres.
Rear-Admiral Inglefield (who has succeeded Commodore Purvis
in the Brazilian command) had gone in the Eagle, 30, to the River
Plate with Mr. Gore Ouseley, her Majesty's Minister, who had
commenced, conjointly with the French authorities, negotiations
with the belligerents, in order to establish peace between them.
The Alfred brings papers from the station to the 30th of May,
from one of which, the Jornal do Cornercio of the above date, we
extract the following:
" The English brig Racer, which arrived yesterday from the
River Plate, brings the Buenos Ayres papers up to the 17th, and
Monte Video to the 21st of this month.
" We can find nothing in those journals to throw the smallest
light on the proceedings of the British and French agents on the
subject of intervention, but it appeared certain that conferences
had commenced between the French, English, and Argentine Mi-
nisters on this important affair, the result of which may be shortly
looked for.
" We have extracted the following from some letters which we
have seen :

" Monte Video, May 21.

" ' Rosas received Mr. Ouseley on the Sth. It is quite certain
negotiations have commenced, but nothing has yet transpired, and
we continue in a state of the most profound darkness.
" It is said that, on the arrival of the Dolphin, which is ex-
pected on the 26th, the result will be known, but I will not believe
it until I see it, for Rosas will be in no haste to decide the ques-
tion, seeing that his chief object at present is to gain time. It is
quite certain, however, this Government knows nothing of what is
going on at Buenos Ayres.
" lam informed that the English Minister here addressed a
communication to Oribe, similar to that addressed to this Govern-
ment, on she subject of intervention, to which Oribe replied that
he was ve-y desirous to put an end to the effusion of blood, and the
war, which was fomented by foreigners who had not yet received
the prsnishment they deserved ; that his valiant army would re.
main uncle' arms to maintain the honour and independence of the
two re:iublics, and that until these two objects were attained, they
would not lay them down.
" As the person from whom I received this information has
reason to know what is going on at the Ceritto you may consider
it true; and further, in order that Mr. Turner should have no
doubt on the sutject, on the same night in which he gave this de-
cisive answer Oribe caused his pieces cf artillery to be pointed on
the town from the Arrayo Seceo, and discharged some 40 shot,
which caused little or no damage, hut which was a pretty good in-
dication et' what may be expected from mediation."'
The Alfred having been nearly four years in commission will
now be paid cif. The Earl of Haddington, First Lord or the Ad.
miralty, who arrived yesterday to inspect the Excellent, gunnery-
ship, on the Alfred anchoring, went oil board with his Countess,
and inspected the ship throughout, titer which the noble Earl and
Countess proceeded in the Black Esgle to Osborne-house on a visit
to the Queen. The Alfred saluted the Earl with 19 guns.
The Comet steam-vessel, Lieutenant-Commander Pretyman, came
up from Ostiorne last evening, with dispatches and the band of the
Sth regiment, which proceeded in the same vessel on Friday, by
Her Majesty's command, to play during the banquet on the occasion
or the visit of His Majesty the King of the Netherlands.
The Ferret. 6, Commander Josiah Oake, arrived at Spithead soon
after sunrise this :marling, from the coast of Africa station. She
has heen in commission three years and a half, and will now be
paid off.
The Fairy (tender to the royal yacht), Master-Commander Thain,
after lauding his Royal Highness Prince Albert last evening at Os-
borne, returned into harbour to replenish fuel and have her bottom
cleaned, it being considered that at her speed had not equalled the
royal yacht's, something of necessity must be wrong with her ; but
an unexpected difficulty presented itself to her being examined,—
all the docks at this yard are employed ; added to which, not one of
them is long enough to admit the Fairy! It was in contemplation '
to lay her up on Gosport-beach, but this, we believe was abandoned.
She was in harbour this afternoon. The authorities do not know
what to do with her.
The Meteor steam-sloop, Lieut.-Commander Butler, arrived
yesterday from Cork with supernumeraries.

The Hyacinth, 18, Commander Scott, arrived at Port Royal,
Jamaica, on the 19t1t ult., in six days from Carthagena, with a
freight of 20,000 dollars. She sailed again on the 21st, reported

LAW IN TEELIci,„
CE-CHANCELLOR •S Oil-17n 7, July p 25.
BRADBURY V. JOHNSON-111, J.ND MRS. CAUDLE.
Mr. BETHRLL stated to the Court that he had two applica.
tions to make for injunctions, which he had no doubt his Ho-
nour would have the greatest I:,ieasure in granting. He was
moving on behalf of a personage who must have afforded his
Honour much gratification when young, and had also added to
the amusement of the last year. For some time past a system
of pirating had been practised upon this amiable gentleman; the
perpetrators of the outrage had been allowed to continue, with-
out interruption, for some time. The writers of melo-dramas
had, amongst others, committed the grossest piracies, and vari-
ous publications had at times endeavoured to enliven their
readers by extracts seem Punch; but it had lately been disco-
vered that several periodicals had extracted whole articles, with-
out any acknowledgment v.hateverofthe theft, and had continued
weekly to copy largely from the plaintiff's publication. Punch had
frequently warned these pirates that he would gibbet them, if
they continued to do so. His Honour was aware that Punch
had added to the gallery of illustrious British characters two
personages who would be remembered as long as matrimonial
discord should exist—he alluded to the renowned Mr. and Mrs.
Caudle, and that the latter had increased the stock of Weal
literature by her very entertaining lectures. It had been dis-
covered that many of these far-famed lectures had been trans-
ferred wholly into the pages of the Hereford limes, and there
was not even an acknowledgment of the theft ; but the readers
of that publication were left to suppose that such excellent
articles could be written by the editor himself. He might with
propriety apply the lines of Horace,
0 imitatores servum pecus, ut mihi snipe
Bi!em, ape jocum vestri movere tumultus !"

It was against the proprietor of this publication that he asked
for one injunction. The next application was upon a subject in-
timately connected with this. It was at all times acknowledged
that the public were gratified by having some sort of remem-
brance of those by whom they had been charmed in b5-gone
days—they were pleased at having such features impressed upon
their minds. Now this had occurred to Mr. Punch, who, to
gratify the public taste, had with his own pencil traced upon
paper the lineaments of his hero and heroine; this had supplied
a great desideratum to those who had not sufficient imagina-
tion to bring home to their fancy the great originals. The
Learned Counsel here handed up to the Court the picture of
Mr. and Mrs. Caudle, and begged to call the attention
of his Hosiour most particularly to the expressive anguish of
Mr. Caudle and the austerity of his better half; in point of
fact, every lecture seemed delineated upon her features; there
they were in the identical situation in which the lectures had
been delivered. The defendants had published a copy of this
excellent picture, though he must say it was no more like
the original than brass was like gold; still it was necessary to
put a stop to these proceedings, and he therefore trusted his
Honour would grant a second injunction to restrain the
publication of this print. He would show to the court how
universal had been its sale throughout the country. If you
left town for a short period, and resided at a watering place
for instance, there was the letter paper upon which were
described the beauties of the place, headed by a picture of
Mr. and Mrs. Candle. If a shopkeeper desired to ingratiate
himself with his customers, he left a card with a likeness of
Mr. and Mrs. Caudle, and so in all parts of the country had
the pictures of Mr. and Mrs. Caudle been circulated. It
was the desire of the plaintiff to hang up the perpetrators of
these pit acies as scarecrows, to frighten all those who would at-
tempt to do the like. 'There were affidavits filed in support of
the applications, in which it was set out that the plaintiffs,
Messrs. Bradbury and Evans, were proprietors of Punch.
His HONOUR granted both injunctions.
Daring the whole of the application made by Mr. Bethell
the laughter on all sides was so immoderate from this strange
variation in the general dulness and solemnity of a Court of
Chancery, that it was almost impossible to collect accurately
the speech of the learned counsel.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, July 26.
(Before Mr. Commissioner FONBLARQUI.)
IN RE CATHERY
This insolvent carried on business as a licensed victualler at
Portsea, and was opposed.
A former petition had been discharged.
In the present Latance the first objection was that the peti-
tion stated that the insolvent had no estate, when in the
schedule he returned goods, debts, promissory notes, &c., to
the amount of 211. ; and as the petition could not be meded
the petition must be dismissed.
Mr. HUGHES said that the point had been mooted before
Mr. Commissioner Gou'burn, who said that the objection
ought not to have been made, and directed that the debts
should be altered to " doubtful," which was done. The Learned
Commi-sioner also observed that the insolvent was entitled to
excepted articles to the amount of 201.
The opposing solicitor said that, with all due deference to
the Learned Commissioner Goulburn, he had no power to
direct the amendment, it being quite in opposition to the Act
of Parliament.
The Learned Commisioner FONEI.ANQL'E said that debts
might be considered good one day, doubtful the next, and posi-
tively bad the next.
The solicitor submitted that the petition must be dismissed,
inasmuch as the insolvent had sworn that he had no estate when
it was evident he had.
The Learned COMMISSIONER said that the only remedy for
that was to prosecute the insolvent for perjury in making such
a statement ; but he thought that they would not be able to
establish it in such a case. He considered that the amended
schedule ought to be admitted.
The insolvent was then examined at great length, but said
that he could not state the particulars of his debts, as he had
no books or papers.
Mr. HUGHES said that Mr. Scott, a solicitor, who had pre-
pared the former schedule, had got possession of them, and
would not give them up or afford any facilities.
The Learned CONiMISSIONEA said that the case must be ad-
journed ; he could not adjudicate without the books were pro-
duced.
11r. HuottEs applied for a summons to Mr. Scott, which
was granted.
The Learned COMMISSIONER said a stop must be put to the
system of getting rid of books. An insolvent had no right to
give them up to any one, and ought to prepare his own balance-
sheet on his own premises. At present it seemed that all a
trader thought it necessary to do was to hand his books and
papers over to an attorney or accountant, so that he might
come up without them, and so conceal theta from the Court.—
Adjourned.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
(SATURDAY.)
MANSION-HOUSE.
A boy named Robert Prevost, ages is, was brought Lit
the Lord Mayor in the custody of Daniel Forrester, and
charged under the following circumstances :
Mr. Weir, of the office of Messrs. Freshfield and Co., soli-
citors to the Bank of England, stated the case. The boy had
appeared at the Bank about twelve o'clock on that day, and
presented a check purporting to be drawn by Mr. Bateman, of
Billingsgate-market, for 601. 10s. The clerk who received the
cheque suspected that it was a forgery, and making some ex-
cuse for not paying it, returned it to the boy, who then left
the Bank, but returned in about an hour and handed it with
some writing upon it to the clerk, who, perceiving that the
signature was not genuine, detained the boy. The boy then in
answer to questions put to him, said that while be was walking
in Fenchurch-street, a gentleman crossed the way to him,
asked him whether he wished to earn sixpence, and desired him
to go to the Bank and present the piece of paper and come out
to him.
Mr. William John Donald, a clerk in the drawing-office
of the Bank of England, stated that the boy presented the
cheque to him for payment. It purported to be drawn by
William R. Bateman in favour of Henry Jones. Mr. Bate-
man kept an account at the Bank. Witness suspected that
the writing was not Mr. Bateman's, and seeing that the
check was crossed, returned it to the prisoner, stating that ob-
jection. The boy went away, but came back in an hour
with the same cheque, on the back of which was slime writ-
ing, to the effect that the drawer had crossed it in a mistake.
The notification on the cheque purported to be the writing of
Mr. Bateman, but witness at once saw that it had not been
written by that gentleman.
Mr. Edward Bateman, son of Mr. Bateman, stated that the
writing in the cheque was not his father's. It bore a resem-
blance to his father's writing, and the cheque was one belonging
to his lather's el eque book.
The Loan Mal ox asked the prisoner if he wished to say
anything? The boy—l do, my Lord. I was going along
Fenchurch -street, and a gentleman crossed over to me, and
asked me whether I wished to earn sixpence ? I said yes. He
said, then go with this piece of paper and present it at the
Bank, and he told me he should wait for me outside, at the
back of the building. I went in and handed it to the gentle-
Twin, who said there was something wrong in it, and gave it
back to me. I then went to the gentleman and told him what
was said to me, and he said he would soon alter it, and he took
me with him to a public-house, and took a pen out of his hat,
and wrote something upon the paper, and told me to take it in
again, and to come to him to the back of the Royal Exchange,
but when I went the second time I did not see him.
The LORD MAYOR—Have you not been there with another
cheque? Boy—Never ; I never was in the place before in all
y life.
The prisoner was then remanded.
BOW-STREET.
A respectably dressed man, named Lewis John Lemoine,
was charged with forging the name of Mr. William Dethick,
with intent to obtain scrips of the Portbury Railway Company,
value 625/. It appeared from the evidence of the secretary and
his assistant, that a letter had been forwarded to the office of
the Company, 449, Strand, by Messrs. Oswald, solicitors, of
Bristol, which contained an application for the scrip from a
penon who signed the name of William Dethick, and stated
that he resided at Fulham, giving the name of Messrs. Drum-
mond, the bankers, as a reference. The scrips were allotted,
and between one and two o'clock to day the prisoner called at
the office, and produced one of the circulars of the company.
Be stated that his name was William Dethick, and he had
come to sign the deeds and receive the scrips. One of the as-
sistants in the off ee named Willis handed him the deeds, and
when he had signed, he ( Willis) compared the handwriting with
that of letters which had been received from Mr. Dethick,
and, finding it did not correspond, he accused the prisoner
of nut being Mr. Dethick. The prisoner replied that he was.
Mr. Willis then proposed that they should go together to
Messrs. Drummond's, in order that he might be identified.
The prisoner consented, but on getting outside the office he
said it was no use troubling him to go to Drummond's, as
he would admit the truth, that he was not Mr. Dethick, but
had been induced by a person who was waiting for him at
Keppel-court, to go and sign the deeds, and obtain the scrip.
Willis instantly sent for a constable and gave him into custody.
Mr. Wood, the secretary, stated that he very much doubted
whether there was such a person as Mr. Dethick, and it was
his opinion that this was an attempt to defraud the Company.
The prisoner admitted that his name was not Dethick, but
declared that he had been employed by a person who said he
would wait for him at Keppel-court, to sign and obtain the
scrip. He would describe him to the officers, and they could
no doubt find him waiting there, or at a public-house in Angel-

court.
Mr. BING HAM (who sat for Mr. Jardine) ordered him to
be remanded until Thursday, and directed the officers to use
their utmost exertions to apprehend the other person. He
believed the practice of obtaining scrip by false representa-
tions was carried on to a great extent.
MAl?LBO IiOUGH-STRE ET.
Thomas Parker was brought before Mr. Maltby, charged
with having attempted to defraud the London and Westminster
Bank, No. 1, St. James's-square, of 130/., by means of a
forged cheque.
Mr. Oliver Vile, manager of the bank, said the prisoner
came into the office and prsented a cheque for 120/., purporting
to be drawn by Mr. John Gough Nicholls, a customer. The
cheque was immediately discovered to be a forgery, and infor-
mation having been brought to him, he questioned the prisoner
respecting the possession of the cheque, and the replies of the
prisoner were to the effect that it had been given to him by
Mr. Murray, a translator of languages, to get cashed. A
police-constable was called, and the prisoner was given into
custody.
The prisoner said he was guilty of offering the cheque. He
had received it from a person who lived in the City-road, who
went under two names--He was remanded.
CURIOUS CASE.—An elderly man, of very respectable ap-
pearance, was brought into court, and placed at the bar before
Mr. .‘ialtby, under these circumstances. On the police-sheet,
the charge was " Lazarus Jaques, tailor, Swaffham, Norfolk,
for obstructing the doorway of Sir J. Graham, in Hill-street,
and refusing to go away when required."
Police-constable C 188, said he was on duty in Hill-street
on that day, when he saw the defendant walking up and down
