BERLIN, FEB. 2.—Yesterday evening, at a quaqe,r past
nine o'clock, her Royal Highness the Princess Albert was hap.
pily delivered of a daughter.
The Princess and the infant are doing perfectly well.
STOCKHOLM, JAN. 24.—The treat manufactory of cotton
yarn of Messrs. Bergmann and Boinstedt in this city was de-
stroyed by fire last night. The building is insured for 54,000
dollars and the manufactory for 60,000. Three persons were
killed by the falling of the wall, and a little girl was burnt..
DitotcTirEnt, JAN. 213.—Yesterday evening a fire broke
out here wl.ich, the wind from the south-east being pretty
strong, destroyed about 300 houses, and the hospital; the
church of the hospital was saved. The number of the suf-
ferers is twice as great as by the great fire which destroyed a
part of the city on the 24th of April last year. The buildings
are insured for 240,000 dollars.— Hamburyh Papers, Feb. 4.

Mr. Sidney Smith has addressed a lever to us,
but for which we have not room, complaining of a paragraph
inserted in the Morning chronicle, alleging that a lecture,
requested by the parishes of St. Martin's and St. Anne's, to
be delivered by him at the Western Literary Institution on
Friday, was for " hire." Mr. Smith denies the allegation, and
states that all lecture's furnished by the Metropolitan Anti-
Corn-law Associat ion, are provided without any charge whatever.
'lliac is very little doubt but that the vacant see
of Ossory will be conferred upon the Venerable Archdeacon of
Dublin, Dr. Torrent. The valuable living of St. Peter's, in
this city, a ill fall to the Government, and the proper allocation
of this causes the delay in the public announcement of the new
bishop. The clergymen named are Doctors Elriegton, Vig-
mines, and Daly. The first is the choice of the Lord Primate;
the second, the first chaplain to his Excellency, and Dean of
the Chapel Royal ; the third, one of the litigant parties for the
Deanery of St. Patrick.
LADIES' MEMORIAL.—The Anti-Corn-law
memorial of the ladies of Wigan will shortly be despatched to

on the magnificent stele contemplated. In the list of visitors
for the last few days are Prince Nicholas Esterhazy, Marquis
of Stafford, Viscount Chelsea, Sir Edwald Parry, Sir Walter

ISLE OF MAN.—As a proof of the rising pros-
perity and public spirit of the town of Peel, we may instance
the fact, that no fewer than 14 new loggers are now building

A melancholy event took place at Pau Oil the
29th ult. :--The nephew of a respectable tradesman of the
town, having had a quarrel with his uncle, committed suicide
by blowing out his brains. This has caused no slight sensa-
tion, since he was a Protestant, and public attention has of late
been much drawn towards that body by the recent opening of
a Temple, for the first time during the last 260 years?and by
the very zealous efforts of a very talented young preacher, a
M. Laforgue, of Montauban.
WIGAN SCRUTINY. Preparations for the
Wigan scrutiny are now in active preparation ; evidence is col-
lecting, and, from the knowledge we pe,sess of the unlawful
p-acticee of the Tories at the late election, we feel not the
slightest hesitation in predicting that in a very short space of
time Mr. Charles Staindish and Mr. Charles Roscoe Grenfell

LAW IN

QUEEN'S BENCH-(THIS DAY.)
No case of interest came before the Court this morning.

This was an action to recover damages for injury done to a cur..
ride of the plaintiff's, and also for the cost of a horse which was
killed in consequexce of the accident.

Mr. Kelly appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Platt for the de.
fendant.

The plaintiff is a physician, and the defendant is a coach builder,
The plaintiff bought the curri le in question from the defendant
some time ago, /11111 subsequent to the carriage being sent home it
' was discovered that it was very defective, and was frequently sent
back to the defendant to be altered. On thr day in question the
carriage was going up
Upper Grosvenor-street, when the front of
guineas,
thecarriage fell upon the backs of the horses, and they started off at
full speed, and from injuries one of the horses received it subse_
quently died. The value of this horse was one hhundredand for which the action was brought. The plaintiff re,leived a
warranty with the carriage. The other horse was also injured:
( the case was not concluded when we went to press.)

COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.)
KILPATRIKK r. GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY COMPART.
The plaintiff in this action was a policeman. employed on the
Great Western Railway. In the autumn of last year he was em-
ployed in his avocation on the like, and seeing
.some logs of wood
lying at the side of the road had taken part of it home with him for
the purpose of using it as firewood. The station-clerk considered
this an offence against the Company, and the plaisitiff was Lakin
before the Magistrate on a charge of stealing timber, and was sent
to prison fur a short period. The present action was brought to re-
cover from the defendants damages for false imprisonment.
The case was not coneuded when we went to press, and was'
likely to occupy the Court the whole day.

SURREY SESSIONS.—(THIS DAY.)

reply to his (vitness's) question, Cox replied the cow belonged to
his father, who was a farmer at Farnborough, and that he wle
ordered to lake it to Smithfield for sole. Witness returned to get
the assistance of a brother constable, when he returned, and follow-
ing them, found Cox in custody of the police at I.lounslow. 'lpe

said in reply to him the prisoner said when ('ox was taken into
custody, he (prisoner) made his escape across the fields, to Wind.

Mr. CHAR:COCK, who appeared for the prisoner, strongly repro-
bated the practice of,eonstables interrogating persons whom they
held in custody ; and contended that the prisoner and Ws corn.

a manner as to induce a belief in the prisoner's statement, that they
accidentally were mixed tip with the clotheewhen packing up her
box after leaving her situation at Captain Belsted's.
Mr. LOCKE was about, addressing the jury Mr the prisoner, when
they intimated that they had already formed a conclusion on the
case, and immediately returned a verdict of acquittal.
The prisoner then left the clock without the slightest imputation
upon her character.
