Mr. Williams, the late candidate io; the Poetry Professorship at
Oxford, appears to have mingled but little in the violence of the
ate party question. During the hottest period of the controversy
he was down with his family at Aberystwith, attending to the con-
secration of a new church in the sequestered spot of Liangorwen,
to the building of which he had subscribed considerable sums.
A grand fancy ball was given at Florence, to about 600 of the
elite, on the 17th ult., to celebrate the birth of the Prince of
Wales, in the Palazzo Ferrari, where Lord Holland resides. The
Duchess of Castigliano appeared in a Persian costume, richly
jewelled; and the Marchioness Iremtri as Mary Queen of Scots,
with a profusion of pearls and diamonds.
gulviourt, or THE DAY.

(FROM A CORRLSPONDENT.)—A richly-endowed Roman Ca.
tholic Chapel is shortly to be erected at Windsor, for the special
acco.nmodation of the Roman Catholics, who are now, or may
hereafter be, attendant on her Majesty. This will be very wel.
come news to the foreign Princes and Ambassadors, &c., of the
Catholic faith, who have hitherto been obliged, while the Court
is at Windsor, to go to Clewer-green. The Queen of the Belgians,
particularly, who was put to great inconvenience last year, will be
glad of thiQ. The living is to be in the gift of her Majesty our
Queen, with the approval of the Vicar Apostolic of the London
District. The curate will be a French priest.
LAW AND PO !ACE.
At Union Hall, Henry Stanbope, who rejoiced in three other
names, namely, Wood, Williams, and Stanton, and who in 1836
had sentence of death recorded against him for stealing in a dwell.
ing-house, was committed to take his trial for purloining a gold
ring set with pearls, the property of a Mrs. Gelding.
Mr. Robert Horton, of Brecknock-terrace, Camden Town, a
half-pay officer, was held to bail at Marylebone, for a violent as.
sault upon Mr. Henry Tinson, of Princes-street, Cavendish-
square. The particulars were only imperfectly given, as the solici.
tors of both parties expressed a wish that the case should go to the
Sessions.

In the action Quin v. Adams, tried on Wednesday in the Court of
ExcheqLer, for the loss of a horse value 100 guineas, the Jury re-
turned a verdict (or the plaintiff, damages, 701. 10s.
At the Westminster Sessions, Augustus Such, formerly warder
in the Penitentiary, Millbank, was indicted for the assault com.
mitted on Dr. Nihil, the Governor and Chaplain, of which a full
account appeared in The Sun on Monday. The Jury found the pri.
soner guilty, and the Chairman sentenced him to three months' im.
prisonment in the House of Correction, and to find security to keep
the peace for six months.
A Frenchman of the name of Fages was committed at Marlbo-
rough-street on Wednesday, for inducing the wife of a countryman of
his own to forge a cheque for 241. duriug the absence of the hus-
band at Manchester. It appeared from the evidence that the pe-
cuniary loss was not the only injury he had sustaioed from the pri-
soner.

Henry Jones, coachman to Mr. C. Drummond, of Stratton street,
was fined 3/. and costs, for horsewhipping two policemen in Mill-
bank. street, on Thursday, when the Queen opened Parliament.
It appeared the defendant attempted to break through the regula.
tions, and on being resisted applied his whip indiscriminately to the
horses and the constables.

At Worship.street on Thursday, Samuel Delaney, the driver of cab
No. 530 was fined 205., with costs, for charging 95., instead of 65.,
the legal fare.
A gang of swindlers have been practising successfully in the Clerken-
well district for some time, but though the Police Court was crowded
on Thursday with the dupes, not one of them could prove that their
property had either been pledged or sold. Samuel Edge, formerly
employed by the Mendicity Society, and latterly one of the City
Police, charged with fraudulently obtz.ining a pianoforte, was dis-
charged on giving up the instrument.
Mr. Anderson, the singer, was charged at Marylebone with
assaulting a cabman. According to the plaintiff's statement, Mr.
Anderson refused to pay the legal fare, and, when pressed to do
so, he used foul language, and gave the cabman a violent blow on
the mouth. The lip was completely cut through, and he had to
apply to a doctor to sew it up. Mr. Anderson denied the foul
language, and further added, that the cabman put himself in a
fighting attitude before he struck him. Mr. Long thereupon or-
dered the vocalist to pay 31., and costs.
In the case of Lord Cochrane v. Kelly, the Master of the Rolls
gave judgment on Thursday. An injunction had been Obtained to
restrain the defendant from parting with two bills to the amount
of 2,392/. 2s. each, for which, according to the statement of
counsel, about 587/. 10s. had been received by the plaintiff.
Lord Dundonald offered to repay all the money actually advanced,
with 10/. per cent, interest ; but this the defendant refused to
accept. Lord Langdale, therefore, after hearing counsel on both
sides, decided that the injunction must be continued, thereby
restraining the defendant from negotiating the bills.
Thursday, at Marlborough.street, John Howard, an elderly man,
and his wife, were committed for one month to the treadmill, as
begging-letter impostors. The wife had obtained various sums
from the Baroness Rothschild, and was arrested yesterday morning
while pursuing her vocation as the Baroness entered her carriage.
The huslyind, who was waiting at a short distance, was also taken
into custody. He is the prince of beggars, for though kept in view
by the Mendicity men since 1825, he has nevertheless cor.trived to
realise, by the trade, more than 2001. a year.

filled. Joseph Sturge, Esq, was unanimously called to the
meeting was ealled together by a hand-bill, issued by Mr.
Sturge, and circulated during the day. The room was well
chair. The meeting was entirely of a conversational
character, " partaking," as 31r. Sturge observed, " more
of the nature of a social than of a public meeting."
Sereral speakers addressed the meeting, and the most
happy spirit appeared to prevail. Mr. Lovett urged
the propriety of an adoption of the Charter, and sug-
gested that a meeting should be held between the dele-
gates of the middle and ssorking classes, in which the
various points of the Charter might be discussed. All
parties present seemed agried that the Suffrage was a
right, and that the agitation for the Suffrage and that for the
repeal of the Corn-laws should go on collaterally. A neater
approximation was made to a union betweenworking the and
the middle. classes by the meeting of last night than has ever
yet been made, and great credit is due to Mr. Sturge for his
efforts to bring about this much desired union, and we are
happy to add we think there is every prospect of his succeeding,
