W 01/.l‘ AND ILIIIMLNAL bLANURA t. , !. A MALCAILD LADY. Mr. Airdaad said that, in the. eat, • rule had been ob tained by Sir F. Thesiger calling upon Edward Wilmer and David Smith to show Cause why a criminal information should not be exhibited against them for a libel which had been published in their paper, the Liverpool t Armtek. Ile did nut appear to justify that libel, but to repress the very great Is drat of the defeudants that it should have appeared in their journal. Tney stated in their affidavits that they took no part in editing the newspaper, and had nothing to do with the insertion of the paragraph. The editor also joined in the affidavit., and expressed great regret that the paragraph should have appeared. He withdrew, on the part of the defendants, all imputation of every kind on the honour of the lady in question, and begged to apologise to her and her family fur the annoyance this paragraph had owasioned them. Lord Campbell said it was in the discretion of the learned counsel for the protecution to say what coarse he would take. Sir F. Thesiger— I cannot allow this matter to pass with out a single ofwervatiod with regard to the aerieus eonte stances which r. suit from the persons who conduct public journals incautiously and carelessly allowing private slan der to find its way tido their colonies. It is imp/foible to describe the annoyance which has been occasioned in • family in which, a. I understand, there hu always been the most perfect attachment and mutual confidence, from the vile slander which hes been cast on the character of Mrs. Frank., and from which she, being now near her con tioement, is suffering very severely. lam afraid that the ap o logy which is now made cannot remedy the mischief which hat been occasioned by this paragraph. it certainly cannot wheal the past. It cannot prevent thou hours and days of sultappinese which have been occasioned in this fa. sally inn the publication has taken place ; and with re gard to the future we know perfectly well how prone many persons are to believe that an accusation is never made with out Wait found-Won, so that when anything of the kind is published, the inewhief seems almost irreparable Every person must. how's er, feel that each sufferer in turn is an willing to ~ppelif vindictive, and especially in a case of this kind your lordship. must feel that the parties must desire to dischsrce their minds as quickly as possible of the pain ful subject, and, th. relore, would not desire to keep alive the memory of what h as s been published against Mrs. Franke by coutinuing proceedings against the defendants atter the .pology which has been made. I feel that the iasertion of yriva.• slander in the pages of • journal ought to call for severe censure, but I also feel that I ought to yield to the desire of the parties in this case, and there fore I amid the apology which has been offered by m learned !mud, sad on payment of the costs, upon whic h I must insist, although I have no iastruetions to that effect, for the purpose of marking the sense which the court eatertailli of the libel, I consent that the rule should be ditcher-red. Lord Cshipbell—The prosecutor behaves most liberally and mercifully. It was a vile and culpable publication, and no editor of any journal in the empire would be justi fied is inwrting suds a libel in his columns. ibe public have nothing to do with private slander, and I may my, for the high character of the press of this country, that such paragraph, hardly ever du appear. The sanctity of private respected. Although I think the prosecutor would have been in pursuieg a more severe course, I ass happy to find that the matter may be accommodated with the apology which has been made, after which this lady's she/eater mast remain as pure and unspotted as I bellows it has ever been.

The Attorsey•General moved for a role to show cause why a commission should not issue, addressed to the Royal City Court of Berlin, or any of the justges thereof, or some person appointed by them, for the examination of witaesses out of Obi jarnalietion of this court, sad is the aseaatime to post =he trial of the muse. A communion had already Irma this court for the examination of certain wit mum at Berlin, ua the part of the clefeadaat, addressed is the ordlauy manner to a member of the English bar. The issomaimies was wued is Jam, but it was impossible to VAMP. it until the present moath,ia imam of Wagner sad her father being ahead from Berlin, and de- dining to be examined except in their own country, and an der the proteetioa of their own laws. The examination of these witnesses was of the meet meential importance. The action was brunght by Mr. Lumley against the defendant, for baying int:seed Millie. Wagger— Lord Campbell—We are perfectly aware of the eireuni- Stamm of the cam^. The Messeertleseral—lt had been speed by both par- We that the examination of the witnesses sheskt be , iva Ines mei Q.C., to wham thiteamissioe was taddresesd, proceeded to Berlin for the puree of @emoting it, secompsnied by a solicitor upon either side, and by Mr. Haddiestoo on the part of the plaintiff, sod Mr. Creasy for the defendants. Mr. and MO*. Weems leek the advice of a l'ruuisu advoctte as to the meet Miff Nett to punter, and it appeared that by the Promise lay it was illegal to take en oath, except A was admiehamedly 11 judge or a magistrate of dist country. They, therefore, declined to answer any oemions upon oath—that teeth having bee. ad• ministered by Mr. Hayward. As Iffillniloll was made by Mr. Heyward to the Royal City Court (Stadgerieht) to have a judo appointed to administer the oath. The court did appoint one of its judges for that purpose, mid he at tended when Mr. Hayward opened the commission, end ad ministered the oath areordisi to the Prussian law. Lord Campbell—Whatever oath was binding on their con sciences was the proper one. The Hayward had raised so diffi certain - tally upon that mom. After emu.. preliminary questions had bees pet by the emussel for the defendant, Mr. Crecy mi e n: the handset( Mdlle. Wagner a document signed by to which he attached considerable importance. She was thou ticked whether the signature to the document was is her writing. Upon that the Premiss judge inter posed, and stated that he amid not allow the question to be I put is that share, as the document must first be read, and some preliminary questions asked. Mr. Hayward then said that the judge was wily present to administer the oath, and that the conduct of the proceedings was iti his (Mr. Hay ward's) hands. Some discaseion maned, the Prussian judge issistiog upon having the satin mistral of the examinatson, 'ad ■ppooax determining whs• qsatioes might be put. Mr. Haddlsetoa, for the plaintiC this protested against the whole of the proceedings, denying the validity of the ex animation, if it were conducted aosordiag to the raise of the Prussian tribuisle. Mr. Cressy also felt that this would invalidate the proceedings, sad, after considerable dietaries, it was agreed by all parties to suspend all further proceedings until more mature consideration. Accordiag to Ms. Hayward's statement It appeared that they had afterwards taken the advice of Mr. Rapport, a leading pese titioaer Wars the Berlin courts, who was of opinion that, the oath having been taken according to the Prussian law, the examination might proceed without the prwience of the Prussian judge, provided the witnesses appeared voluats- ray and submitted t..) such examinatios, and it was agreed that the eismination should be continued on the followism imi . Ou thesame evening, however, Mr. Hayward ✓esst2 a note from Madlle. Wagner, stating that she must abide by her first declaration, that she email only submit to be examined by a Prussian judge, in the Impute of her MR wanstry. Ibis put en end ell the whole of the pro esedisp. Every effort was made to lads,. Mullis. Wagner Wing , and her father to give evidence, bat the whole w met a stop to by the interference of the Prussia* l edge. From the nature of the cam, the evidenoe of Mr. and adlle. Wagner was essentially necessary. It was considered that all difficulty would be done away with if their lotc4hips would issue a commission, directe4 to the Royal Court of Berlin, in order that these witnesses might be examined. According to the Prussian law it was sot competent to the advocates upon either side to examine or to cross-examine wittiness. Lord Campbell asked under what statute the learned counsel made• th application ? The Attorny- General said there wars pncedents for it. Lord Campbell—There has bun an act expressly pused with regard to courts in ludia. Yoe atay take a :We to show me*. Rale alai accordingly. The Attutney-General also moved for a osennsissiois is this ordinary form to examine two witnesses at Hamburg who bad been present at the negotiations between Mr. Gye and Mullis. Wagner. The court granted a nil.. MI !AVAIL'S (ON TAG PM SCOTT) C. W. NALAISO AGAINST TAG " TIMIS." MOTION OP SKI lON. P. . - CRIMINAL lIIIORMATION The Anoraey-Oaneral moved, on behalf of the H• IL Teasels Scott and some other gentlemen, for a rule calling upon Mr. William Harrison, the printer and publisher a the Timm newspaper, to show cause why a criminal infer. nation fora label should net be issued against him. This appliestios arose out of an article which appeared in the Tunes reflecting, as then gentlemen thought, sad he must My with truth, very seventy upon their characters. The applicants wen the chairman and the directory of the soutlrWestern Railway Company, and it was necessary for hint to make a short statement of the facts to which the article referred. The South- Western Company were the proprietors of a line of rail way running between Southampton sad Dorchester. In the commencement of the ., yam It was proposed by the tiviat esteniTeuipas rWai %We - 4i Dorset- Airs from north to smith, while the lknith-Western Use ran from met to west, to make ea application to parliament for a bill to suable them to make a Mae between Dorchester sad Ender. Lord Campbell said an objection bad been suggested by the oMcer of the court against moving fora criminal infor mation os the last day of term. As application for a num deism., or a pr.hibition might be made, but he believed it •as the rule that tl's !termed cosasel amid may zneutioa that he int( tided to apply form criminal laformatum. The Attorney-General said the rule bad probably been made when there was a pressure of badaess. Lord Campbell caul it bad misted from the most remote times. sties the Glimes's Bench did sot sit half the time It might have dose.

" Deamt Emma (the Emma in the centre of a pea and ink sketch of a heart),—l am sorry I shall not have the felicity of your company to-day, and stall more grieved to hear that your side is no better. I have sent you a powder, which I hope you will have no objection to take. It would be better to put it dry on your tongue at bed time, and apply another mustard poultice, then I shall be glad to hear that you are quite cured to-morrow. If it does not get better in a day or two, I should ask for a leave of 'Aswan to recruit your health, whish I believe your present occu pation has fully uadermined. I have scarcely known how to pass away the dull and tedious hours. Ending now has no charms for me. I would rather shift muck ca the line than stii.k here all day. ' Otheilo'e occupation's gone.' I shall remember with pleasure the many dull hours I have passed sweetly away in your company, and I begin to find that making love is better than sitting here all day by my self. Hoping soon to see you restored to the, best health, I remain yours affectionately, " ALBERT." " Dearest Emma,—l am happy to say my cold is a little better, but lam not quite right yet. I have beta very doll all day, and I wish Croydon Fair was at the d— I. I have just made up a roaring fire, and I am going to drown all m cares in brandy and water.

Caulfield has been here to-day, but I forget now. I only wish your pretty face was here to enliven me up a bit. I think 1 shall have you Liken up for forgery, which you will see you have committed if you look 'at the letter I have enclosed. My head begins to get con fused, so that I cannot say much more. I hope no noisy individual will disturb your sweet repose to-night, and trust yen will remember me in your dreams.—Believe me, dearest Emma, yotu's affectionately, "ALBERT:' " Dearest Albert,-1 write you a few Bees this morning, fearing you might have thought me unkind for not calling epos you some time in the course of the day. This morn ing, as you are aware, was fully taken up with my music lessors. The afternoon proved wet, which caused me to slay in doors. I hope to see you to-morrow morning, if the weather proves fine. Send me a line, that I may know how you are, for if it is in the least damp to-morrow I shall not be out, in consequence of the baby being so un well.

Excuse my tan and imperfections, and believe me, my dearest Albert, your ever affectioreas "Elgin." Amongst the documents found is the female. prisoner's possession was a certificate from the Committee of Council of Education, dated February 28, 1851, and from it it would appear that the prisoner had served one year as mistress of the Tendring Parochial School, Essex, for which she re ceived the munificent no of 81. And in this document she is described as Mrs. Bedell. In this document, which is a printed form, several erasures and emendations, in the handwriting of the prisoner, appear, and some of them are of a ludicrous character. For instance, when the qualifica tions are given opposite to the words, " Grammar," "His tory," and " Geography," " good" is written ; and in the margia appear, evidently in the prisoner's handwriting, " French translation, perfect. Natural history, good. Algebra, good. Composition, excellent. Derivation of the Angolo-Saxon words, correct. Music, good. Singing, good." Owing to the absence of a intmen formerly in the service of Mr. Shepheard, who was in the habit of carrying messages and different articles between the parties, and who it was thought was purposely kept out of the way, the offi cers requested a further remand. Mr. Belinda' hoped his client would be at least admit ted to bail, and assured the magistrate that, from his in structions, he verily believed that Cramer had been made the ignorant dupe and victim of the other artful releaser. His friends, he said, were of the highest respectability, and were prepared to give bail to any reasonable amount. Mr. Norton admitted that it was in Cramer's favour that there appeared a disparity of at least 10 years ; but the female prisoner said it did not exceed 5, at the most— a declaration which caused much laughter. The prisoners were ultimately remanded; but Cramer was admitted to bail.

Lord Campbell—Charges. Mr. Mellor—Both charges and insinuations. He was in structed to express the defendant's deep regret for what he had done, and he trusted his learned friend, on the part of t►e prosecution, would be satisB• d with this apology. Sir F.Theeiger said that Mr. Allsopp was willing to accept the apology and retractation—the positive denial of the charges made by Mr. Jervis; and to allow this rule to take the course of the former one. With regard to the coats he must insist upon their payment, in order to show that this was not passed over as a light offence. Rule discharged en payment of costa by the defendant.

Mr. Edwin James moved for a rule, calling upon the de fendants in this case, to show Awe why the trial of this indictment should not be postponed until the sittings after next term, or why they should not take each short notice of trial as the prceeestor could give. This was an Indictment for conspiracy, which bad been removed from the Central Criminal Court into this court. The defendants, eleven in number, bed been engaged in the Derby election, and two of them, Mr. Wm. Beresford and Mr. John Huisb, had removed the indictment into this court. They were in con sommes bound to plead and give notice of trial, or they would forfeit their recognisance,. Mr. Beresford pleaded on the 6th of Nov., and Mr. Huish on the 14th of Nov. ; both of them giving due notice of trial for the Middlesex sittiop on the 21st of Nov., too late for t►e prosecution to give their notice of trial for those sittings. Five other defendants pleaded, so that if the matter was allowed to rest as at present, only Mr. Beresford and Mr. Huish could be tried by the indictment, and, therefore, this rule had been applied for as the only proper Course that could be taken. It was ab solutely necessary that all the defendants should be tried together. There was another ground on which this appli cation had been made, namely, that it was necessary to have the attendance of the *Seen of the Howe of Com mons, and also the shorthand writer who attended the select committee of inquiry. A resolution of the house declared that all witnesses examined before the house or before a committee of the ►oue were entitled to the pro tection of the house with regard to anything which they had said in giving evidence, and that no officer or short hand writer should give evidence without first obtaining the special license of %Jabots, of any proceedings before the house or its committees. The bowie was not now sitting, and therefore it was impossible to obtain this permission It was absolutely necessary that the officers and shorthand writer should attend the trial. Sir F. Thesiger said that he appeared on the part of Mr. Berisford, who had done everything in his power to bring this matter to &speedy issue. Mr. Beresford had no power over the other defendants, sad he could not compel them to give notice. To sive any further trouble he would at once consent to the postponement of the trial. Mr. Smith was retained by Mr. Hsieh, but he was not present. The learned judge said the rule would go for the postpone ment, unless Mr. Smith did not consent. Mr. Smith, having come into court soon after, said he had had no instructions to consent, but he would let his client know, and it was very likely that he would agree to take the course adoptid by Sir F. Thesiger. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.-YESTERDAT. ITTUrell It BANCO.-11113012 XL JVITICt ■AVI.S ■L .1011ITICT IIIatIOWELL, SOL JVIITICZ WILILY" AND XL JUSTICE T•LroVaD. 11•ZLITT V.

METALS.—Mr. Moate's circular states that a reduction of the French duties on iron, as stated in his cir cular of the 10th instant, has at last been officially pub lished, and this has confirmed the mound position of the iron trade ; the duty on pig iron is now 50 per cent. only, on rails 50 per cent., end on sheet iron, the most important of all, 81. per ton, or about 60 per cent., and it is further un• derstood that this reduction is only a prelude to a much more liberal tariff. Rails are much firmer, but few of the makers are disposed to tell at present rates.

EXTENSIVE FORGERY IN LIVERPOOL—A dis covery has been made during the past week that a forgery was committed on the Borough Bank of this town by Mr. William M'Curtin, of the firm of M'Curtin and Riley, merchants, Mathew-street, so far back as October last. Mr. M'Curtin carried on an extensive trade, and until the du• covery of the forgery to which we allude, was supposed to be possessed of considerable means. It would appear ti at on this 18th October last, a bill of 1,5401., drawn by Mr. M'Curtin, and purporting to be accepted by Sir David Roache, of Limerick, who is extensively engaged in flour and corn operations in the south of Ireland, was coshed at the Borough Bank. The bank officials bad not the slightest suspicion that the acceptance was a forgery until, on the presentation of the bill, Sir David Reache repudiated it, and denied having soy knowledge of the party by whom it was drawn. It was accordingly returned protested, and then the fact that a forgery had been committed by Mr. M'Curtin was clearly established. The matter was then placed in the hands of tho police authorities, but up to the present Mr. M'Curtin bas succeeded in eluding their vigi lance. It is suspected that similar other forgeries will now be discovered to have been committed by Mr. M'Curtin, some of whose private friends are also likely to be heavy losers en his account. NEW ZEALAND FLAX.—The Council have received from the New Zealand Society the one ton of Phormiwn Tenax, or New Zealand Flax, mentioned in a previous number of the Journal, which has been cleansed in rather an inferior to the usual mode, and has had much less labour bestowed upon it than native-dressed flex. The object of the New Zealand Society in sending this sample is to enable experiments to be made, with a view to the introduction and application of such machinery and pro cesses as aright lead to improvements in the preparation of the flax, so as to render it fit for exportation. The New Zealand Society has placed in the hands of the council a draft for 30 guineas, which they are willing should be awarded to any person who will furnish them with modes ' of operation, models and specifications of machinery, by which the flax may be dressed at a cost not exceeding dl. per ton (this price to 'prepare the flax as a raw material), reck oning the wages of an ordinary labourer at 4s. per diem, aad of artisans at 6s. to Gs.
