      bouquet , and the manifestations of Sunday and Monday were renewed with still more energy and enthusiasm . The yards of the Mississippi were manned to acknowledge the salutations and cheers -of the democracy of Marseilles . " The honourable reception preparing for Kossutb in this country seems deeply mortifyiBg to the Conservatives in Paris , whose organs adopt a more hostile tone than usual against the liberal state of public ' opinion on this side the Channel . The " National" alone dares to brave the government ifi landing Kossuth , whose manifesto has drawn uponhim , besides the abuse of the " Patrie , " fierce attacks from the "AsserableeSationale " and the " Opinion Pablique . "

      ThePari 3 correspondent of the " Daily Sews , " writesas follows : — "M . Pulsky mentioned to me an instance of the paltry and persecuting conduct of the French government towards Kossutb , which would be scarcely credible if it had not undoubted authority to depend upon . A Hungarian officer , named Tranyi is one of the few refugees allowed to remain in Paris since the recent proscription . He obtains a subsistence by being a tutor in a private family . On hewing that Kossuth was on the eve Of visiting England , he felt anxious to come to England to see nim , and he applied for a passport for that purpose . The French authorities offered but him to under

      him a passport , gave distinctly - stand , that if he yisited Kossnth in England , he would not be allowed to return to France . This paltry and arbitrary conduct on the part of the French government is quite of a piece with the refusal to let Kossutk pass through France . The great Hungarian chief burnt in effigy by the despotic Austrian , and refused a passage through retlrepublicau France , will be welcomed 'with glorious eathusiastu in England on the soil of constitutional freedom . The hospitality that the British nation Trill accord to Kossuth will infinitely surpass that which would be accorded to the Emperor of Austria , or Louis Napoleon . "

      The " Revolution , " new democratic journal of Paris , contains the following letter in favour of commemorating the addreaa of Kossuth to the MarseiUaia ;—" Citizen Editor , —Desirous of giving a mark of the deep sympathy of the French democracy with the nationalities which have been victims of royalty ; desirous cf showing to oppressed peoples that the French people are entirely irresponsible for the conduct pursued towards the hero of Hungary ; Trishing to render the entire democracy joint applauders of the act and of the device of one of our brothers' who swam to the Mississippi to bear the words of sympathy to Louis ILossuth , we beg , in the name of a great number of democrats , to propose to have a medal engraved commemorative of this action , by means of s popular subscription , fixed at five centimes . —Salutet fraternity .

      " L . Coppeks , Delasde , Alphonse Gebacs , At . Bcisson . " In quoting the address of Kossuth many of the conservative papers omit the passage relative to Iiouis Aapoleon and M , Leon Faucher , from fear of prosecution . Of all the papers of the opposition the " National" is the only one which has ventured to speak out upon the subject of the minister ' s refusal to let Kossuth crosa the territory of Prance . PREPARATIONS , &C . FOS THB BECEPIIOS OP EOSSUTll IN 2 XGLASD . Of all the extensive preparations making for the eagerly expected arrival of the Hungarian patriot , precedence must be given to the Mayor and corporation of Southampton , who have adopted an address , and determined toescortKossuth in stateto the Town

      Hall , where it will be presented . The banquet will le of a most splendid description . Mr . Gilpin and Mr . Alderman Wire are among the invited . A limited number of tickets will be obtained , at 30 s . each . The enthusiasm among the inhabitants is indescribable . The Common Couscn . of Losdos . —A Courfc of Common Council was held on Thursday , the 2 nd inst ., and , after the ordinary business bad been disposed of , Mr . C . Gilpiu proposed the motion of which he hai given notice ;— " That this court do preseat an address of congratulation to Louis Kossuth on Mb liberation from captivity and arrival in this country ; and that the same be presented in Open Court . " Mr . Gilpin reminded the court that Jhey had already and unanimously memoralised our government to interfere on behalf of the illustrious Hungarian—now , he asked them to

      congratulate him on his arrival in this country . He iriefly referred to an attack recently made upon the corporation , and agreed that the best reply to those attacks was to show that they did represent the public feeling of the citizens of London . Tho motion was seconded by Mr . Alderman Wire . The Xord Mayor volunteered the information that there existed no precedent for the course proposed by 3 Ur . Gilpin—the presentation of an address in open conrfc ; but that statement was fo und to be incorrect , and the business proceeded . Mr . Anderton moved the previous question , on the flimsy pretence that the court should not interfere with foreign politics ; and persisted , in pressing his amendment . But only three hands were held up for it ; the original motion was carried with great applause , and a committee was appointed to draw up the address and arrange for its presentation .

      The Vssirt of Maetleboxe have resolved to present an address , and fixed upon the splendid new Board-room of the parish as the scene of the presentation . Lord Dudley Stuart , and Air . Kicnolay , the chairman of the London Committee , were present when this resolution was carried : and it was stated by the latter gentleman that the Executive Committee of the Great Exhibition had consented , if Kossntn should not arrive in London before the 11 th , to open its doors to him and hia companions on any day before the actual dispersion Of the goods—i 6 being understood that no political demonstration would be made within the tmilding .

      Meehso ik Birmingham . —On Saturday night last a numerous meeting , convened by a short notice , was held at the Odd Fellows' Hall in this town , for ins purpose of considering the propriety Of taking immediate steps to give Kossuth a hearty reception la the Midland district , if he shall be able to except ic .

Panoras Testry , which was held on Wednesday in the new Vestry Hall , King ' s-road , Camden Town , Thomas Eld Baker , Esq ., churchwarden , in the chair , Mr . Brettin ^ bam , in an eloquent speech , moved tbe adoption of an address , to bs presented to Kossuth by the churchwardens be as soon after his arrival as might be found convenient . P . Healey , Esq ., seconded the address . There was to be a borough demonstration , and he hoped that the vestry would concur ¦ with Maryleboiae in carrying it out . —Mr . Glover considered that the manner in which Mr .

      Brettingiam had brought forward the question did him much honour . —The motion for the presentation of the address was carried by acclamation . Soutbwabk . —On "Wednesday evening a meeting , convened by circular , was held at the Three Tuns Tavern , High-street , Borough , to consider what means should he adopted in Southwark to welcome Kossuth . Mr . Satterley presided . After some discussion it was resolved , on the motion of Mr . Walker , that arequisition be presented to the high bailiff , requesting him to call a public meeting of the inhabitants on . the subject ; and a committee was appointed for tbe purpose of carrying out tbe requitite arrangements .

" The Liberation of Kosstin . —Among the recently printed parliamentary papers was ono showing that forty-two memorials were presented to her Majesty ' s government respecting the liberation of Kossatb and four petitions to the House of Commons .

      At a general meeting on Thursday night , at 10 , Wellington-street , Strand , the chair was taken by Mr . Thornton Hunt . Several gentlemen were in attendance as deputations from committees formed for the same object in various parts of the metropolis , and a goodly amount of subscriptions was given in . —Mr . Gibson said that he attended , along with Mr . Thomas Webber , as a deputation from the Parliamentary and Reform Association for the borough of Lambeth , who had held a meeting on the preceding evening , to take into consideration the measures to be adopted for the reception of Kossuth . He should be glad to know what steps this committee had taken , and whether Kossuth had been communicated with as to the desirability of a public demonstration . —The Chairman said their

      object was to unite in their expression the general feeling of the metropolis , and to render the demonstration such as should be acceptable to Kossuth himself . He had been deputed to wait on that distinguished individual , at tbe earliest possible opportunity . The present intention was to present an address to Kossuth on his arrival , to receive him by a public demonstration , and to invite him to a general banquet . ( Hear , hear . )—Mr . 'Pettie said that intimations had been received from several of he trades of the metropolis , of their intention to turn out with flags and banners on the occasion of Kossuth ' s arrival , so as to give him an enthusiastic publio welcome . In answer to a question , Mr . Pettie stated that he had received intelligence from General Fetfca , that Kossuth would immediately on

      his arrival at Southampton proceed to Winchester , where he would spend a couple of days , then return to Southampton , and probably arrive in London on the fourth day . They had made arrangements for having the earliest telegraphic intelligence * of his arrival at Southampton ; and as there was an observatory there , ifc was probable , if the weather proved favourable , that the vessel would be discerned at a distance of eighty miles ; and the fact would be immediately communicated to London by telegraph . ( Hear , hear . )—Mr . Hinchley , ono of a deputation from painters of the West-end , nanded in their subscription . —Mr . Pettie moved , seconded

      by Mr . Milne : — " That deputations from provincial towns should be received in the same way as those of the metropolis , so as to secure , as far as possible , united action on the part of all the friends of Hungarian liberty . " The resolution was unanimously agreed to . —Mr . Arnott said he had been requested by the West-end boot and shoemakers to state their intention of turning out as & body on the arrival of Kossuth . ( Cheers . )—Mr . Milne moved : — "That the financial committee should be authorised to defray the expenses of the deputation to Southampton . " Mr . Shute seconded the resolution , which was unanimously agreed to .

      A pilot boat has been sent out from Southampton to meet the Jupiter steamer , which is expected on Friday or Saturday , and which might possibly bring Kossuth , in order that a signal might be hoisted on board of her , so that the authorities may be made aware of his arrival , if he does come in . the Jupiter . It has been determined that the illustrious exile shall remain about five or six hours in Southampton previous to his departure for tho mayor ' s seat near Winchester , in order that time may be given for a special train to arrive from london with friends , and for the numerous addresses to be presented to him . After landing , he will be conducted in a oarringe and four to the York Hotel , from whence lie will proceed to . the Guildhall to receive the corporation address . The Mayor continues to receive an immense number of communications from all parts of the country respecting Kossutb , and also an immense number of lettvrs and despatches addressed to his care for the great Magyar himself .

      An address has been sent to Southampton from Manchester , inviting tbe great Magyar to visit that hive of British industry . The Mayor of Southampton has received a letter from the Liverpool committee , who undertook I he support of 230 Polish and Hungarian Refugees a few months since , begging to be informed of Kossuth ' s arrival , in order that they may present him an ad * dress . Kossath will be the guest of the mayor until the day of the banquet . On the night of the banquet the great Hungarian will sleep at the American Consulate . The day after a balcony will be

      erected outside the consulate , when a magnificent flag , which was made for the distinguished chief by Magyars of New York and sent to him during- tbe heroic siruggle in Hungary for freedom , but Which was detained at some custom-house in this country and rescued by accident , will ce displayed . From this balcony Kossuth will most probably address the populace . The consulate faces an open space which wil l hold SO , 060 persona , ^ h-Intelligence has reached Southampton that no Hungarian Refugee will be allowed to leave France to visit England during the stay of Kossuth in this country , and then return to France .

      Liverpool Custom-house Intelligence . —On the llth instant , the commencement of the official quarter , it has been finally deoided by the Commissioners of Customs that the following material alterations in the mode of transacting public business shall be carried into effect , with , we believe , the laudable and twofold object of saying trouble to the public , and , at the same time , economising in tbe number of official hands : —l . In place of only one registrar's office at the central custom house , there are to be eight register offices—one at each of the eight stations , including the custom house , into which our still more numerous docks are divided . It is hoped that this will save much extra trouble and delay to both officer and merchant , inasmuch

      as at present much time is lost in obtaining copies of warrants or duplicates , hereby rendered unnecessary . The merchant is to write on his warrant the dock where the vessel lies , and the warrants will be all forwarded at once to the station for that district . The blue book—or landing book —will originally emanate from the central registrar office , but will remain at the station till the discharge is completed . All arrangements tor putting ships on the books for a landing waiter will henceforth be made at the particular dock , or rather its station . By the way , our docks are travelling so far out of town towards Garston and Bootle , and lire SO multiplying , that it would be a great boon to the trade if our dock committee published a

      lithofr&ph ed plan of all the dooks , showing and numermg the several stations ; and tinting in one colour whatever dooks pertained to one station , and another colour what pertained to another . Such simple information is much needod , and ought to be posted up at the dock office , at the custom house , and at every dock . It would aaye a world of perplexity , and an incalculable loss of time to multitudes . —2 . In order that tho dock searchers may have time also to act as dock registrars , the searchers are to be relieved from all custody of bonded stores , and are no longer to be bewildered ( except eooasionally ) with hundreds of shipping

      bills for free exports . Tbese are to be considered " shipped as entered , " unless formally short shipped . How will ail this affect our dock and town dnes ?—3 . The tide surveyors are to have the care of all bonded stores , as they already have of surplus stores . But they are roving officers with very wide districts . However they are not to meddle with , or delay thd delivery ships at all ; but in lieu of a slip to them the locker is to forward a London document comically called a " dandy note .

We advise all Trades ' Bodies , Friendly , and other Societies , to put themselves in communication with the Committee , and thus ensure the noble patriot a welcome worthy of the British people , and of the cause for whioh he so gallantly struggled . The French Government havint ? nlaced difficulties in the way of his overland

      ) outney from Marseilles , the Mississippi has sailed with its heroic crew to Gibraltar ; the probabilty , therefore is , that he will not arrive at Southampton until Tuesday . We understand the Committee have made arrangements to have his arrival in . this country immediately telegraphed to them , when further information respecting the proposed demonstration , banquet , « fec , will be announced . The speech of Kossuth , at Genoa , in which he deolares that his only hopes of tbe general welfare of Europe rests in an alliance of all Democrats with Mazzini and his friends , gives an increased interest to his visit at this critical period . We heartily wish the Committee success . of the

      Anticipated Abbivai ^ Patriots . —The Central Committee , appointed by the various political and trades bodies in the metropolis to get up a demonstration to welcome Kossutb on his arrival in London , held their second meeting at No . 10 , Wellington-street , Strand , on Friday evening .

      POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION . Mr . J . H . Pepper , the Professor of Chemistry at this institution , 1 b now delivering an exceedingly interesting lecture on iron and steel . This is discussed in a familiar style , commencing with a concise account of the many ores discovered in various parts of England from which the metal is procured . The talented lecturer particularly dwelt on one which he had recently reoeived from Cleveland , Yorkshire , to analize ; it contained about thirfcy-nine per cent , of iron , and was fitted from its favourable locality for land and water carriage , Co become one of the most valuable iron producing districts in tho kingdom . A succession of splendid experiments followed , attesting the various stages

      of oxidation , and the melting of its ores was minutely defined . The different impurities which tbe iron contains and their baneful effects on the quality especially relative to manufactures in steel ware , were briefly explained . After a general summary of . the preparat on of bl itered , anear , and cast Bteel , the lecturer concluded by exhibiting some beautiful specimens of perfectl . tempered steel , , ia the shape of sword blades , manufactured by Mr . Wilkinson , Pall Mall . An iron plate was pierced through with one of them without , in the least degree , injuring its sharpness » r edae ; the severe tests to which it was exposed

      were also ably explained , and , availing nimseii or the beautiful principle first discovered by Mr . Wilkinson , thai in every sword there is a plane called the centre of purousion , where tbe entire muscular force of the arm is concentrated . The learned professor , though totally ignorant of the sword exercise , performed the wonderful pit of severing in two a very thick wooden lasting on two vessels full of water without spilling one drop , bo felicitous was the combination of science and practice , that it is unnecessary to say that the audience departed as mueh delighted as instructed with the lecture of the olever professor .

      BestbccW'JK ¦ Wnm . wiKD is Limerick . —A letter from Limerick , written on Sunday night , and published in " Saunders' ' * of Monday morning , contains the following particulars of an unusually violent whirlwind which raged in that city Sunday evening : — " At half-past five o ' clock this morning this city was visited by one of the moat awful and destructive whirlwinds ever experienced in this part of Ireland , or , I believe , ever known to have iccurred within these realms , Tho suddenness of the gale , with its destructive consequences , are almost incredible , but the following are the exact particulars : —Tho greater portion of the day was tine , with occasional showers of rain , and now and then bright sunshine . However , at the hour above

      stated , the horizon assumed a bright yellowish aspect towards the north , and a whirlwind set in from the north-west , the effect being first experienced at the North Strand , nt the residence of Mr . William Gleeson , ship agent . The noise in the air , as the whirlwind approached , rflsembledthe roar of steamers discharging waste steam from their funnels on reaching the quays . In a moment the trees in front of Mr . Glesson ' s house were uptorn and bovne aloft in the ah * to a great height , the leaves and huge branches dangling so for a few seconds , when tho dense body descended , tumbled the chimney glasses , demolished the window frames , and in a shorter spaco than I write the word , rushed along the Welle 3 ley-bridge , prostrating those who

      were walking thereon , sotne of whom only escaped being carried over the swivel by firmly holding on by the iron paling ; but thoy were injured by the ' ireos which passed over them . The terrific blaat struck the office of the same gentleman , SHUiltC at the south end of Wellesley-bridge , at the city side of the river , and so powerful was the gust that tho entire shop front ,, shutters , sash , window glass , < fec , were shivered to pieces , and displaced two feet from the wall . An apple woman who was sitting in the locality was slightly injured , and the adjoining shop windows instantaneousl y demolished , The stores ift Brunswick-street and on Honan ' squay were stripped of their heavy slating , and the flues of the kilns hurled away in the current . At

      Arthur ' s Quay saih were carried off from the turfboats in tbe river anil fell upon housetops ill Denmark-street . Two windows in Cruise ' s Hotel , George ' s-street , were blown in with a tromendous crash , some of the gentlemen stopping ther e being cut by tho glass . Tho shock was felt by the inhabitants Of Other dwellings in the vicinity , and caused utter consternation . The uncontrollable element was discernible throughout its devastating progress , resembling a heavy body of dust blown up from tho earth , and took a circuitous route , passing down Denmark-street , through Mungrctstreet , and so on , to Thomond-gate , dting considerable damage to house property—unrooting many dwellings , stores , warehouses , « fcc . Tho corn market in Mungret-street was eousiderbly

      damaged , while shuttors , frames , and door post . * , were blown about like so much tissue paper . Many persons were lifted from terra firma and spun round nke whipping tops . Twomen , lam sorry toadd , wore so badly hurt that they had to be conveyed to Harrington ' s Hospital , where they lie in a precarious state . It is rather remarkable that this extraordinary phenomenon confined its ravages to the localities I have enumerated , unknown until passed away to the inhabitants of tho other portions of the city . Darkness having set in soon after , 1 am unable to furnish more in detail . As I write crowds are congregated iu every quarter talking over this unprecedented occurrence ; which will be long remembered b y thoscwho witnessed it . 'It israthor remarkable that in Mr .

      GREENWICH . —Thb Murdsr op thb Grejmwich PoucEUAN . —William Cressy , ' who it will be remembered stands charged with the murder of James Haatie , a police constable of the E division , was placed at the bar of the above court , before Mr . Trail , the sitting magistrate . —Sergeant Carpenter stated that he had made inquiries into the statement of the prisoner as to his having been at work fora gentleman named Ward , at Walthamstow , at . the period of the murder at Deptford , and found he had been employed there up to the eve of the murder . He was absent from that day till about a week subsequently , when he was again employed for a few days . With regard to the statement of

      the witness Mary Ann Davy , as to herself and the accused being in lodgings with a Mrs . Ward , in Giffen-street , Deptford , at the time of tbe murder , he found that a Mrs . Ward did keep the lodginghouse-at that period , but had since emigrated . The description given by the witness of the house and furniture , and circumstances of Mrs . Ward , he found to accord with the statement of the absent woman ' s neighbours in every particular , but none of them could remember Davy and the accused as lodging there . The person who had written last week as to a man and woman calling at the Woolpack , Deptford , on the morning of the murder , and speaking of it , could not identify the parties . He expected to procure further , evidence .

      —The Magistrate : It is a remarkable fact that the womaa Davy states the prisoner to have worked at a good distance from Deptford at the time of the murder , and that he was in the habit of going across the river by the Thames Tunnel , and if . he worked then at Waltbamstow that would be his nearest way . She , however , had no recollection of dates . —The Prisoner : At the time of the murder ! was lodging with Mary Fox , at Walthamstow , and I wish you would send for her . Look at the parish books of Walthamstow , for in 1846 it will be seen that I took a child of mine by my first wife out of the union house . I did not know this woman Davy in 1846 , and you will find that to be the case . Send to Mary Fox with whom

      I lodged then . —Sergeant Carpenter said he found the prisoner lodged with Mary Fox some time in 1846 , as the Marsh , WaUhamstow . —The Prisoner Here is a lefter from one of my daughters to me at the time I first picked , up with this woman , Mary Ann Davy , ' and you will see by the date that it was in the beginning of 1847 . How could I murder the man , when I did not meet with her till afterwards ?—The Magistrate : I shall have to remand , you again . In a case like this , involved as it is in difficulties , a great many inquiries have to be made , and it will be more satisfactory to yourself , if you be innocent , that tbe most searching investigation be made . The officers will make every inquiry , and you shall have what witnesses

      you wish . —The Prisoner . It is very hard on me that I am to be looked up so long , losing not only my time but my employment , on a false charge . —The Magistrate : If it be hard that you , charged with this mnrder , should be taken care of pending the investigation of that charge , how much harder for the poor man whose life has been sacrificed , You may depend upon it that no injustice will be done you . It is my intention to remand you till next Saturday , when , no doubt , I shall be in & position to come to . a decision on the case . — The prisoner , who appeared much more collected than on any former inquiry , was then removed from the bar , and on his way to the cell he repeatedly protested against the hardship of being longer confined .

      SOUTHWARK . — Serious Chakoe . — George Freeman , a bargeman , was charged with throwing John Gingle , another bargeman , into the river , with intent to injure him seriously . Complainant stated that on Saturday evening his barge was moored inside St . Saviour ' s Dock , and defendant had charge of another barge outside , which was lyingacross , so lhafc no other barge could get outi "Wishing to save the tide and proceed down the river he asked the prisoner to let go his hawser , to enable him to pass out . That he refused to do , and witness said if he did not do it he would do it himself . The , prisoner still refusing to unfasten the rope and make way for his barge , he went towards the head to remove it , when the prisoner came up to him and pushed him overboard . The depth of water in tho dock

      when he was immersed was six feet , and had not he been able to swim he must have been drowned , as it was some time before he was got out . He was thea nearly insensible . —In answer to the charge the prisoner said that he did not wilfully push him overboard . He ( prisoner ) jumped into the water and assisted in getting him out . —The watchman of the dock denied the prisoner ' s statement , and tbe prisoner having asserted that he could bring witnesses to prove his assertions , was remanded for a week . THAMES . —Assault . —' William Balser , a German augar baker , about forty years of age , residing at Mulberry-street , Commercial Road , appeared to a summons , charging him irith assaulting Satherine Dielel , a little German girl , sixteen years of age . The case was brought under the notice of Mr .

      Yardley on Friday , by the Bev . Dr . Cappell , minister of St . George ' s German Lutheran Church , Little Alie-street , Goodman ' s Fields , who stated that it had become a common practice to entice German children from their homes by specious pro * mises of improving their condition in tim country , but instead of such promises being performed , in addition to being half starved , the poor creatures were sent out in all weathers to sell brooms and little windmills , and on their return they were beaten severely and refused food , if they did not bring home sufficient to satisfy the cupidity of their task masters . The defendant , and complainant were both natives of Weiperfelden , in the Duchy of Nassau . About the Easter of 1 S 50 the prisoner

      in-, duced the girl ' s father to allow her to come here with him , promising to make good provision for her , and to Send her baek with good clothing-, her passage paid , and one hunired florins , equal to £ 8 of our money , ac the end of eighteen months . She received no clothing except some rags that she received from some humane persons . Her food was of the scantiest kind , and he beat her so unmercifull y when she failed to bring home money , that she ran away from him on the 4 th nit ., since which time Dr . Cappell had provision made for her in the house of another countryman of her ' s , named Conrad Shiruz . —The little girl having been sworn stated through Mr . Strauss , the interpreter , that she came to England about a year and half aeo with

      the prisoner , his daughter , an infant , and the woman he lived with . She used to get eighteen brooms and six windmills to sell , and after walking the whole day if she did not bring home two shillings he beat her with a leathern strap which he used to wear round his waist , whilst working in the sugar factory . —Conrad Shiruz , in whose house the defendant used to lodge , deposed to his having beaten the girl more than fifty times . He did not see the punishment , but he heard the blows and loud screams , and there were those who saw the black and blue marks about the body . Witness

      did not interfere , » 3 he did not wish to enter defendant ' s apartment . The girl ' s father had been written to . —Margaret Shiruz , daughter to the last witness , proved that she saw defendant frequently beat the girl with the strap . —The prisoner . said , through the interpreter , he never remembered having beaten her . Neither did he know what money she brought home , as she was always in bed before he returned from his employmeut . —Mr . Yavdley haviBg ascertained that the Rev . Dr . Cappell , who bad taken so large an interest in the case , had to leave on pressing business , postponed his decision .

      GUILDHALL . —IMPORTANT TO BeNKFIT SOCIETIES . —Mr . Edward Low , treasurer of the Eclip e Mutual Benefit Association held at the Green Dragon , in Pleet-street , was summoned before Alderman Moon and Wire for unlawfully refusing to pay Win , Peart , a member of the society , 12 a . per week , according to the rules , the said William Pearthaving . duly declared himself upon the sick fund . It having been proved that complainant was unable to attend , being bedridden , the rules were put in , containing the secretary ' s certificate that the claimant was admitted , and also cards shewing he was a member entitled to all the benefits of the society . Several objections to the payment of the demand , which were entirely of a technical nature , having been

      stated by counsel for the respondent , Alderman Wire said complainant was evidently a member and entitled by the cards produced to 12 s . per week in affliction . If the society could ahos that the documents before him were forgeries , and that complainant had never been acknowledged a memhor , then they might tender evidence to that effect : or if they could impeach the witness ' s statement with re gard to complainant ' s health , then they might indici him lor perjury , and any order the magistrates might make would be rendered unavailable . At present he could only make an order for payment of the money and eoste . but at the same time he mus state that the society had taken an erroneous view in resisting a just claim . —The order was then matte . ¦

By a report from the British consulate at Stettin , dated September 10 , to investigate a charge made against William Robson , mate of the Emily , of Sunder . land , who was charged by the master with having endeavoured to cause the crew to disobey lawf ( 5

      SURREY THEATRE . The enterprising lessees of this theatre hare established a deservedly high reputation in the getting up of grand operas , and have during the last few seasons introduced a taste for classical music of a high character among the playgoers on the Surrey side of tho water . Indeed , the nightly overflowing houses are the best evidences of the manner in whioh the efforts of the managers are appreciated , as they are the most gratifying indications of bim > cess . Bellini's grand opera of Norma was produced on Monday night for the first time this season , and the attractions of the piece were height * ened by the oircumstance of its being the debut of

      a Mdlle . Deville , of the Grand Opera of Genera , who made her first appearance before an English audience . The fair debutante is evidently young , and has the dark eyes and oval face of a southern clime . Her voice is by no means powerful , and was at times thin in quality and by no irieanB certain in tone , arising from the natural nervousness attenant upon a first appearance , and increased by the somewhat chilling and disheartening reception sbe met with before she had made much progress in the opening scene . Much of this was owing to the injudicious plaudits of her admirers and friends , but more to the bad taBte of the audience , who scarcel y gave the stranger a fair hearing . In the duet with Adelgisa she improved very considerably ,

      and in the spirited terzetto which forms the finale to the first act she exerted herself sufficiently to obtain the unanimous plaudits of the house . Norma , however , was evidently too ambitious a flight for an openiag night , and taxes her powers too highly . She will nevertheless prove a fair acquisition to the Surrey corps in characters not demanding such cqmpaaa of soale and powers of voice . She was called before the curtain at the close to receive the almost unanimous congratulations of the audience . Miss Poole was the Adelgisa , and sang with her accustomed sweetness and correct taste , and Mr . Travers acquitted himself most creditably as Pollio . The other parts were filled by Mr . C . Romer , Mr . Borrani , and Miss H . Coveney .

      ST . JAMES'S THEATRE . The benefit of the " Bateman children , " which took place on Monday night , was characterised by a great variety in the two pieces selected . An abridged version of Sweethearts and Wives served to show the talents of Ellen Bateman , the youngest of the siaters , in the well known part of Billy Lackaday The sentimental distress of the character , and the occasional impertinence , which runs through it as a vein , were given with infinite quaintness by the precocious child , Kate Batemen , the elder sister , who aims rather at the elegant than the odd , had a good field for her exertions in Old and Young , a piece written for Miss Clara Fisher , a precocity of some thirty years ago . Her successive

      representations Of the juvenile aspirant lor military glory , the infant glutton , and the tiny exquisite , showed great versatility , while Ellen was still at hand with her native humour as a larder-loving gardener . ^ Ifc is a great charm in tbe comic performances of these children , that they never lose their juvenility . There is , in the youngest , particularly , a native oddity , whioh has not been destroyed by training , and which conveys the pleasing impression that the little artists are not going through a painful routine , but are really amusing themselves . As for their tragic exhibitions , of which wo had a specimen in the trial scone from the Merchant of Venice , the sooner they are done away with the better .

      The children seem embarrassed and confused by artificial declamation , whereas in a comic atmosphere they move freely and give full vent to their animal spirits , which they have preserved in such integrity . Bouquets were thrown in such numbers that they completely embarrassed the young performers . Neither of them could quit the stage till every one was picked up , and they retired almost bent down beneath their floral wealth , A more substantial present was made in the shape of a basket containing two elegant dolls , which was handed across the orchestra . When their labours were ended the children entered the box of the Duchess of Somerset , under whose immediate patronage the benefit took place .
