Baum'. • snit whi•!ti, before the order for winding-up the affairs Of the oompsny was obtained, had been instituted by emir Grebe simmbolders, es behalf of theraselue and all the alien, except some of the dirteters who were the defen dants, was directed by the Master, to whom the winding s p was referred. to be continued and prosecuted by the •Sbal seas r. At the hearing before Sir George Timm. thee N'imr•Cltaseeller, this suit was dismissed by lia Honour. who made an order to the effect that the bill be dismissed, with wets to be paid by Mr. 'farquend, the eilleial manager," his intention being that the 00111111 should be paid personally by the official 'manager, on the ground that the suit was a hopeless one. sod that it ought sotto have been undertaken or carried on. A sub papa and attachment were afterwards issued against Mr. Turcittand for nut payieg the an • or the suit personally. but these were discharged upon an application to Sir W. Wood, on the ground that by tke terms of the order of dismissal properly interpreted, Mr. Turquand was not charged with payment of the coats of the suit personally, bet only u official manager out of the asaete of the coma pony. The defendants to the suit which had been dis missed now appealed from that order. Mr. J. Lady, Mr. Selwyn, and Mr. Kenyon appeared to support the 'opera' ; and 11r. Daniell and Mr. Little contra, for the official manager. Their lordships were of opinion that the or 10T of dismissal made at the hearing of the suit charged the official manager personally pith payment of the costs of the suit dismissed, but without prejudice to his obtaining, if he could, an order from the Master allowing him such cuts out of the mutts of the company ; and they made an order discharg ing the order of S., W.

The question involved ri lated to the construction of the will of Mr. Joseph Muriel& a wealthy cutter. manulacturer, who died in 18.38; and the point was whether pessonal estate, a portion of which tousisted of Oxman/Mill., a balance in the hands of the testator's bankers, passed to the testator's two daughters under a be quest of perssnalty by a local description. The Vice-Chan eellur directed a reference to the Master, to inquire into the nature of the testator's estate generally. ar.d the present appeal wee founded on the ground that there could be no doubt that the daughters were enthled under the will, and that such inquiry, a most expensive one, was unnecessary. The case Wen part heard on Saturday. To-den y the area ments on the part of the appellants were concluded, and the respondents' counsel had only proceeded a short way, when they were stopped by the Lord Chancellor, who said he was clearly of opinion that this was a proper case for such a reference as hail been made by the Vice-Chancellor. The appeal was then dismissed with cost,. The rest of the day win occupied with the opening of a ease of Tema r. Bull, which is of a Konewbat complicated nature, and eepected to occupy some time. The opening had not proceeded far enough to enable a report to be given. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.—YESTEZDAT. Swam Ms. Ossiressama Recasts Ix as RDWAILD 011110 W —Jtroomixv. His Honour said : Thu was • petition of Edward Cliboon, late of St. Athens, in the county of Hertford, banker, • bankrupt. The prayer of the petition is, to grant to the Unkempt protection from arrest or imprisonment, and to reverse or recall any certificate (if any) which may have been gloated under the 257th section of the Baokropt Law Consolidation Act, and to set aside or stay any execution which may have been issued thereon. The petitioner was adjudged bankrupt on the 18th of March, 1849; and, in April 1850. being after the Bankrupt Law Consolidation Act came into operation, the allowance of the bankrupt's certificate of conformity wee refused by the court; and singe that time the bankrupt has resided. and still is resid ing, at Boulogne. He is now desirous of returning to Ragland. There arc two preliminary questions in volved in the consideration of this petition—first, as to the true cherac'er of the petition. Is it • petition, as was contended by Mr. Bagley and Mr. Linklater, complaining of a judgment previously pronounced by this court, and therefore to be regarded in the nature of an appeal, or is it an original subetentive proceeding ea the part of the bankrupt, as argued by Mr. Prentice ? I oof opinion that the petition mast be coosidered ran serigisal app:imition, to endorse the summons of the back rapt with protection for such time as the court may think fit. The woad and main question ie, whether the court ia authorised to groat protection whets the certificate of • bankrupt has been altogether refused ? I have carefully wandered the provisions of the Bankrupt Lew Coasolida- Sion Act, and particularly the sections referred to by Mr. Prentice as bearing upon the question, vin , sections 112, 162. 198, 207, 257, and 2io. It appears to me that if the court has power to give protection after the refusal of the certificate, such power must be derived under the 112-h section. Preeimiey to the passing of that set there was no statutable power to protect • bank rupt from arrest during the time intervening from the pass bag his last examination and de allowance of his certificate, but by the 112th section of the Bankrupt Law Consolids ties Act, after protecting the bankrupt for such tints as shall be 'linseed him for finishing his examination, it is enacted that the bankrupt is to be free from arrest or im prisonment " for each time, after finishing his 'gemination until his certificate be allowed, as the court shall from time to time, by endorsement on the summons of such bankrupt, think fit to appoint." I am of opiai,n that the words of this enactment contemplate cases where the allowance of the certificate is subjudice, or still waiting the determina tion of the court, sad that they do not apply to eases where the power of the court to allow the certificate has become inopersive, as, where the allowance of the certificate has been wholly refused, and the time for an appeal under the 12th section is past, and no grounds can be shown for a re hearing under the 207th section. After the time that has elapsed since the judgment on the certill eats was given, looking to the provird ins of the 207th sec tion for a re-hearing under certain circumstances, but which are not applicable to the present ease, I think it Is quite afar that the jodgmeat on such certificate mast be regarded as final and conclusive. The judgment of Lord Chancellor Truro in " Ba parte Iligginson" (1 Bankruptcy Appeals, p. 4 end 11), is decisive on this point. Then by the 237th me ting, in all cases where the court has refused to grant the bankrupt further erotic• ion,or shall have refused or mispeteded his certificate, it is an imperative duty of the court to grant to the assignees or any creditor, in the form set out in schedule B, power to issue and enforce a writ of execu tion against the bankrupt, and the act of granting this is of e .urse ministerial oily. (See " In re Cowgill," Queen's Bench Reports, 336, and " Bs part* Stanton," 1 Bankruptcy Appeals, 30 and 32.) It is true that all creditors who prove ceder a bankruptcy thereby make their election, and such creditors were ex cluded from enforcing their claims against a bankrupt, by action or execution, until the Bankrupt Law Consolidation Act gave them the power of doing so by means of the cots misnomers' certificate. They are still precluded from awing the bankrupt or issuing execution on their judgment, if they hove soy ; but the 257th section makes them judgment creditors dc novo, as it were, and the certificate of the commissioner enables them to proceed as such by espies ad satisfacisedum only ; and the Court of Queen's Bench has held that this execution has a double aspect, that the in has the effect of • apices for a debt. (See " In re gill," 16 Q 8., 336, 343). I do not mean to im pugn the judgment of the Court of Queen's Bench on the words of the statute, but, considering that the after acquired property of en uncertificated bankrupt (excepting the urniags of his personal labour for the necessary allaiatimusee and support of himself and family) is claimable by the usignert, and that all the creditors should share rateably in the division of any such property, I think that 1112eClatinel against the body of the bankrupt ought to be allowed exclusively by way of punishment, and not all as • espies for the recovery of a debt. Any creditor may apply for • certificate of execution. It appears to me, therefore, that the provision of the 259th section is applicable to the eirmainstances of this ease. This section, in fact, transfers to theCeert of Bankeuptcy all questions of the discharge of • bankrupt from prison, at least during the period of the year mentioned in that eectioa. As to the construction of this section I cannot do better then cite the judgment of Mr. Baron Parke in a ease, " In re Everard," 6 Eacheq. Rep., p. 116. His lordship says, " It appears to me that on a reasonable construction of the 259th section, its meaning is this : that when a "snidest* of conformity is altogether refused, the bankrupt may be taken into custody and imprisoned for the period of a year, with power to the court to discharge him if they think fit. So likewise if the certificate is sus pended, though it may be for • year or more, still the bank rupt is liable to be kept in prison only a year." Thus it , will be seen that the Court of Bankruptcy has power to ' discharge • bankrupt who has been in execution under the 257 section, at any tint• during the year of his imprison ment; and after the expiration of the year, or before, if the certificate of conformity has come into operation, the coon out of which the process of execution irsued, will discharge him, as it did in the case of Everard above cited. Mr. Prentice said it would be singular that the court should bent a discretionary power to discharge • bankrupt imme &Maly after he was imprisoned, sod not be able to protect him front imprisenmeot. The answer to that is, that in the former case the parties interested would have notice of the bankrupt's application, and have the opportunity of being heard against it, but in the latter they might not. I hive considered the dicta of the Lords Justices in "Ex parte Holthoose,"" Es parte Rufford" (21 Law Journal), and " Be parte Start." It is sufficient to say that in all these cases protection was granted by con sent of the assignees sod opposing creditors. In the case before the court the assignees consent, hut the creditors who opposed the allowance of the certificate do not consent. Mr. Prentice contended that consent would not confer juriedictios. The Lords Justices seemed to have thought that it did, at least as against creditors coming in under the statute ; and ic the ease of " Ex part* Hall" (I Rose, p. 13) oat a question of jurisdiction or not in bankruptcy, Lord Eldon said ;—" I am well aware how careful I ought to be in extending • jurisdiction, admitting no appeal. I may interpose by consent, and if parties waiving the benefit of the objection afterwards should refuse obedience to the wins, I would commit them: there are many cases where this court has jurisdiction merely by consent." I find no authority in any opposed case to warrant the conclusion that the Court of Bankruptcy has power to grant protection to • bankrupt after an adjudication of refusal, which has be- SOW final, upon the question of the allowance of his certifi ed, of gaildcrolitY and the court cannot, by virtu* of any suippond jurisdiction fee attaining the objects et a beak • - ruptcy, take upon itself to control er to limit either the Common law or statutable remedies of creditors There is one other circum•taaee an which I think it my duty to make one observation. The bankrupt, ever sines his certi- Neste was yawed, ha. been, and still is, out of the jurisdic tion of the court ; so that his creditors have thus been de prived of the remedis. given them by the statute. I think it would be of mi•chievous comequeoces to let it be supposed that a bankrupt who is thus mit of the jurisdiction of the court is in a position to petition the eourt for protection to be endorsed on his summons. This ap pears to me to be contrary to the intention of the legislature and the provisions of the Bankruptcy Law Consolidation Act. For the reasons! have given, I think the petition of the bankrupt must be dismissed, and I am bound to say with costa. It has been held that the rule protecting an un certificated bankrupt from costs applies only to petitions to annul the est or petition for adjudication (see " Ea parte Baily re Bally," 3 Pea. Rep. 41) ; awl that it dues not apply to the ease of • bankrupt who has been guilty of misconduct (see " Eu parte Shaw," 2 Yes., jun., 41); and where a court has no jurisdiction, the respondents an en titled to coats. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT.-YESTEIDAT. OILFOIII/ TIM Call? IN TRU MAWR* or RICKARD DARTFR. This insolvent was opposed by Mr Loses for a creditor named Chatteris, and supported by Mr. Sargood.

THE BORAX DUEL This morning having been appointed for the trial of the roar Frenchmen who were charged with murder, arisiog out of a duel that took place in October last at Egham, eon• aiderable iuterest appeared to he created, and the court was crowded long before the vassal hour for commencing Wi nes*. A great number of Frenchmen were among the speetaton, and among them were K. Luis Blanc, and a great many of the French retagees. At ten o'clock the prisoners, Edeeond Altair., 36, de scribed as a wine merchant ; Diem) Be►runa. 46, notary ; Elliertliti Barthelemy, 29, engineer ; and Philippe Ewgrue Marmot, 42, labours►, were placed at the bar, and the in. dietment, which charged them with the wilful murder of Frederick Counsel, was read over to them. The prisoners all pleaded not guilty, and elected to be tried by a jury composed half of foreigners. An interpreter was swop to explain the evidence to them. Mr. Locke ops;ned the ease for the prosecution. The following evidence wee then adduced. Mr. Francis Pardigan said—l knew the deceased. I last saw him at a quarter to 8 o'clock at the Waterloo railway station ea the 18th October. I saw him dead on the follow ' tag morning at the Barley Mow at Engladder's's. I knew three of the prisoners, Barthelemy, Barroom, sad Allain. The two latter were with the deceased when I saw him at the railway station. I also saw a gentleman sassed Brume Ia company with the deceased on the morning of the 18th, and I heard the deemed sok him if he se cepted." The deceased asked me to accompany Anglia and Brews as an interpreter to hire a pair of duel ling pistols. We went to two shops, but they refused to let pistols on hire. We asked for pistols that would fire with precision—shooting school pistols. We went at last to a shooting-gallery in Lekestersquare, and the proprietor consented to let us have • pair of pistols on hire, and Allain and Brume examined them. The owner of the pistols said that they had been used on the same day, and they were not clean. M. Breseot took the pistols away with him wrapped in brown paper, and they were taken to my lodging, where Allah& and Brunet cleaned them. Allain and Brew* each cleaned one of the pistols, and I gave them a piece of white rag for the pur pose. I took the rag from a drawer myself. It was about the else of • pocket handkerchief. I gave them a large pencil swat, and they used that to else* out the barrels of the pistol., after I had cut some notches is it with a pen knife.. They tied the pistol to • small walking-stick, and by this means they cleaned the barrels of the pistols, and when they had finished each of them blew down the barrels of the pistols and put their finger to the touch-hole, and then said it was well. As the rag became dirty they tore off • portion and threw it into the fire-place. After the pistols were cleaned they were placed in an envelop*, and Allain and Bremot said it was necessary to seal them, and when they were wrapped up in paper thirteen seals were placed upon them, and they wrote on the paper " Allele, thirteen seals— Dreamt, thirteen seals, Allan then put the seal into his pocket, and the parcel containing the pistols was given to Brissot. I recognise the paper and the seal now produced as the same made use of epos the occasion. By Mr. Chambers—l knew Mr. Barronet first during' the Exhibition of 1851. I saw him very frequently at that time. I have always heard that he was a man of very good reputation and character, and a man of honour and a gen tleman. He also had the reputation of being a kind and humane man. From what I saw relating to the pistol. every thing was done with perfect honour and 'integrity by both parties. Re-examined—l never saw the pistols from the time I have mentioned antil they were produced before the magis trate at Chimney. Mr. H. Hind said—On the 18th October, I was the pro prietor of an exhibition in Lieeester-square, called the Assault d'Armes. On the 18th October I lent a pair of pistols to three foreigners, and I furnished them also with 22 ballets, about the some number of . percussion caps, and some gunpowder in a desk. The patois were after wards returned to me, and I now produce them. When the pistols were hi nd, the parties said they wanted them for practice. I can only recognise the Ist witness. Ido not know any of the prisoners. The pistols were not clean when the parties took them away, and I told them so. The pistols were brought back to me on the 19th October , and I paid them back about IX 15e. They bad deposited 81, with me, and I deducted 11. for the hire, and the re. matador for the flask, which was not returned. I examined the pistols, and being told that one wee loaded, I put •up epee it, and tried to fire it, bat it would not explode. I tried it a second time, but it would still not go off, and I thee unloaded it by unscrewing the breach of the pistol, and crammed • piece of rag between the powder and the nipple, which prevented the former from exploding. It was impassible to discharge the pistol while the piece of rug was at the bottom of the barrel. The wham produced the piece of rag he found in the pistol, and M. Pardigan said it was of the same description as that used by the prisoners Allain and Bressot to clean the pistol. M. Deals said—l keep a coffee-house in Old Compton street, Soho. Al the prisoners were in the habit of coming to my shop. Oa the 4th of October 1 saw M. Barthelemy there, and be inquired bow my bulkiness went on, and I told him that M. Barronet, M. Cournet (the deceased), and another gentleman boarded with me. Ho then said he had a letter lie wished me to give to M. Courage, end I gave him a sheet of paper and pens and ink. He began to write, and in a abort time he said he could not com plete it, as he wished to look at one of the last letters lof M. Cournet. I asked him if he knew 11. Cournet, and he said he did not, and I told him be was a fine robust man. M. Barthelemy then faired his arm as though In the act of levelling a pistol, and he said, "At this I don't fear the first corner." He then went away and said that be should probably return in about an hour, or hour and a half. M. Barthelemy slept at my house on the night of the 18th October, and he went out about a quarter past one o'clock the next morning. By Mr. Ballantine-1 have been five years in England, but I only speak a very little English. Very few of my customers are Eogli-h. I had known Cournet about seven or eight months, and be breakfasted and dined at my hour, hut did not sleep there. Barthelemy rarely came to my house. After the arrival of M. Barthelemy, I fre quently heard Cournet talk about firing. Jerre Pettingall mid—On the morning of the 19th Otto her, I wont down to Windsor upon business by the eight o'clock train in the morning. I was in a second-clam car riage. The train arrived at Windsor about ;nine or half past nine o'clock. Three persons were in the same carriage, two of them were the prisoners, Barthelemy and Monier They conversed together in French during the journey. I understood what they said. The name of Cournet was mentioned, and I heard one of the gentlemen say he would kick him and cane him to death, and I saw Buthelemy take his right band out of his coat-pocket and look at P. and say, "Jo ne suis pas agile." M. Monet had a cloak on, but I observed nothing particular ab ,ut his appearance. Francis Farquharson said—l am • " guide" at Windsor. I was at the station on the arrival of the ten minutes past nine train on the moruiog of the 19th October, and 1 raw six gentlemen, who appeared to be foreigners, ett out of the train. I believe the prisoners were four of the gentlemen I saw. I afterwards saw the dead body of a man who was one of the same party. When the six foreigners got out of the train, they walked up the street in two parties of three each. One party went into the Red Lion, and the other into the Adam and Eve. I followed them, in the expectation of getting 'job. The two parties came out of the houses I first saw them go into, and went to two other houses of entertainment, and they soon after words came out together, and all the six walked away in two parties towards En.lefield-green. On the same after noon throe of the thous cuss back to Windsor. Two of t he grinners, Bsrtwet and Usenet, I can recognise, THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, MARCH 22, 1853.* Let Ido sot know any of the mhos*. These three gentle men went away by the train for London, and I observed before they started that the prisoner Mornay had something like aa umbrella wrapped up in his cloak. Margaret Perkins said—My husband is a labouring man at Egham. On the morning of the 19th October 1 was go ing across P.nglefield-green, about 12 o'clock, and wheu I came to • place called Priest's-hill, I saw two gentlemen, who were apparently foreigners, standing together. They then all came out into the main road, and after they had talked tawether a short time, they went toward. Priest's bill. The (our persons were el the party, and the deceased also was among them. Two of the party went into a field,' and I heard a whistle, and the rest of the gentlemen joined them in the field, and I observed them cross another field, and then I saw nothing more of them. I saw th e ; ccessed soon afterwards at the Barley Mow, and I recognised him as one of the party. William Herbert mid—l em a labourer, and reside at Bonham, in Berks. On the 19th of October Istas in the neighbourhood of Englefield-green, near Priest's-hill, when I heard several foreigners talking in a rneadow,and I :topped to listen, and in about five mii.utes I beard the report of • firearm. I only heard one report, and then a man hallooed, and lam • man come up the hedge into the road. I can sot recognise either of the prisoners as that man. A medi cal gentleman, named Heywood, came up, and I accom panied him and nee of the foreigners into the second mea dow, where I saw a man lying upon the ground, who was bleeding from • wound in the side, and the prisoner Allain was endeavouring to sop up the blood. I assisted to carry the deceased to the Barley Mow, at Ettglefield-green, and Allain and Mr. Heywood accompanied tki there. By Mr. Chambers—The prisoner Allain seemed verysor rowful, and to be in great distress of mind at what bad oc sorted. Hayward.—l am a surgeon, end reside at Egham. I was passing up Priest's Hill on the 19th of October, about ■ quarter to one o'clock, when the prisoners Mornay and Barthelemy came up to me. A third man was with them. One of them asked me the road to Windsor in broken' English. When I got to the top of the hill, a third foreigner ran from the field into the road. This person was Barronet. He asked me to accompany him to a place where he said his friend had been wounded by a bullet. I believe he had been told before that I was a surgeon. When we got into tho second field I saw Coarnet lying on the ground, and Allain was attending to him. I srw that he was wounded in the right side, sad that there was a cor responding opening on the left. The deceased was re moved to the Barley Mow, end in about three quarters of an hour Barronet went away. The primmer Alain re mained until be was taken into custody. I staid with the deceased until 6 o'clock in the afternoon. The three men I first met came in the direction from the field in which the duel was fought. I saw the body of the deceased after death, and ascertained that death was evidently occasioned by being shot by a pistol By Mr. Chambers—The three men were at taut 150 yards Irons M. Ilarronet. He did not tell me what was his object in going to London. By Mr. Parry—Allain appeared in rest distress of mind. He talked of M. Cournet as his old friend. rho deceased died about six o'clock. He appeared to be very much de voted to Attain so long as his senses remained, and I never saw more real feeling than was evinced both by Allain and &imagist. Charles Jaws said that he met three foreigners on Priast'shill on the morning in question, and they told him that there had been an accident, sad asked him where they could get a cab or some other emveyance. Two of the men he saw were Mornay . and Barthelemy. By the Court—Priest's-hill wu about three miles from Windsor. Mr. Jobs Madogan, the station master at Windsor, de posed that on the morning of the 19th of October be was in the office prior to the starting of the half-past two o'clock train for London, when he mw the prisoners Mornay and Barthelemy and another man, who also appeared to be a foreigner. Mornay carried his cloak with somethinc like • sword wrapped up in it. These three men took their seat* in a second-class carriage, and in about flee minutes Bar thelemy came to the station, and he walked along the train and looked into the all the carriages, and then be changed his tickst,which was a second-class one, fora first-class ticker. After the train had started he received • communication to the effect that • duel bad taken place, and he sent a tele graphic menage to London by the Gnat Western Railway, and on t►e same evening Barthelemy, Hartnett, and Mornay were brought down to V/indoor, snd be recognised them as the persona he had seen in the afternoon, and he observed to the policemen that in taking Baronet they had taken the wrong man. He thought at the time that by his coming to the station after the other three that he had nothing to do with thin,. John Underwood, a polies constable, proved that upon the receipt of the telegraphic message by the Great Western Railway he stationed himself on the platform of the South Western Railway, upon the arrival of the 3.25 train, and in (=sequence of the description given to him he took Bar rose, Barthelemy, and Mornay, into custody. The two latter cot out of • second-clan carriage, and the other pri soner came up to them, and he did not see where he came from. The clothes and sheet of all the prisoners were very dirty. As they were pits towards the Tower-street police station a foreigner, who was standing in the Water loo-road, came up to him and offered him a sovereign if he would let hie friends ge. He told him he could not do that, and Morney was then about to hand his cloak to some person who was following him, but he took it away from him, and found two swords wrapped up in it. John Noble, a constable of Windsor, proved that from information be received he pat the telegraph in motion, and afterwards proceeded to Looms, when be found the pri soners &meet, Barthelemy. and Money in custody, and he conveyed them back to Windsor. He found some per cussion cape in the possession of the prisoner Barronet. Upon the prisoner Barthelemy being searched, two right hand gloves, both of which were split across the palm, were Mind in his remotion. Mary Day deposed that she was called into the Barley Mow to lay out the body of the deceased, and she found a bullet in the bed. Mr. Biddelemb, of the county police, deposed that he went to the Barley Mow on the evening of the 19th of Oc tober, and found the deceased quite warm, and apparently just dead. Witness assisted in undressing the body, and saw that a bullet had passed through the clothes of the de ceased, and also completely through his body. Mr. Edgell, uoe of the magistrates before whom the in quiry took place, was called as a witness, and he stated that when the prisoners expressed their desire to make the declaration, be cautioned them in French, and mule them distinctly understand that by the law of England they need not make any statement unless they pleased, bat that if they did it would be used in evidence against them. The statement wu then given in evidence. It was to the following affect: " Whatever may be the consequences of the seventy of the English law against duelling, of which I wu ignorant, I declare that I was the second of M. Cournet on the 18th of October. That the obligations of sincere friendship I entertained for him would not allow me to refrain from accompanying . him in this fatal rencontre. He was my best friend. I had found so many noble qualities in him. I did all I could to avoid the rencontre, but I had to obey the laws of honour friendship, and the customs of French duelling. Were I to pass the remainder of my life in prison, I would never disclose the name of the person who wm the adversary of M. Commit. Now that I know the English law, honour forbids 's, from mentioning the name of an antagonist, if he cannot or will not do so, I am • prisoner; but I will never quit a prison by making a declaration which is re pugnant to my character and habits. Signed BAYRONNT." The following statement made by the prisoner Altaic was also put in I adhere to this declaration, and it is quite is coarottnity with my sentiments. Signed ALLatte." This closed the cam far the prmecutioa. Mr. M. Chambers than addressed the jury on behalf of Berroset. Mr. ferry and Mr. Ballantist• also addressed the jury for their respective cheats. Some witnesses were then called to speak to the charac ter of Alain and Barronet, and they described them as having been persons of honour and respectability in their own country. Mr. Josue. Coleridge, in summing up the cane, said he felt it right to remind the jury that he and they both sat there to administer the law under the obligation et an oath, and it was their duty to do so fearlessly and conscientiously. It was very painful for any judge to have to sit and dis pose of so serious a case ; and he must confess that he was surprised to hear learned counsel of great experience and great talent tell a jury that the law was that which they knew it was not, and, to speak plain English, mislead them and endeavour to induce them to find a verdict which they knew could not be justified either by the facts or evidence. The four gentlemen at she bar were Frenchmen, but they resided in this country, and were therefore subjects of the Queen, and bound to obey the law, and he would tell them what the law was upon the subject of the present case, and he believed they would be of opinion that it was not only in accordance with law, but also with the dictates of com mon sense. The law was this—lf one or more persons went out to together armed with deadly weapons, for the purpose of committing an unlawful act—which fighting a duel un doubtedly was—and the death of one of the parties ensue, it was, in the eye of the law, murder on every person con nected with the transaction, and this applied Equally to the seconds of the deceased, as to those of the survivor—in fact they were all held to be responsible for that which might be expected as the natural result of the act they were about to commit. If, therefore, the jury should believe that the prisoners or either of them were proved to have acted in this , they would be justified in finding them guilty of murder, but if the evidence was not malaise tory as to their identity, or upon any other point, thoywould then sa d they were not godly. The jury retired ate quarter to 7 o'clock, and returned into wort in about an hour with a verdict of Guilty of manslaughter. . . The learned Judge, addressing the prisoners, said they had been convicted, after a very long and patient inquiry, of the crime of manslaughter, and it was now his duty to pass sentence upon them for that offence. He observed that they had already been in prison more than five months, and he thought it also probable that, being foreigners, they were ignorant of the law of this country upon the subject of duellinc, and that, therefore, they might have been misled ; and, taking all the.e circumstances into consideration. the sentence would be mach learn than it otherwise would have , been. Ile then sentenced all the prisoners to be further imprisoned for the space of two months. 110DLAND ClRCUlT.—Wmtwicx, MARCH 21. The Yiai I'rius business of the assizes commenced befor L or d ch;er Jostiee Jerrii. this morning. EAst to YUCNO.—TRE CARD CHIATING CASS. An action to recover 112 i., the amount of a bill indorsed by the pugilist, Bleary Broome, to the plaintiff, who acted as his attorney in the recent notorious card-cheating case. Mr. Mammals..., Q.O , and Mr. Hayes, for the plaintiff; Mr. Mellor, Q.t., fur the defendant. John Sherman, an attorney's clerk, living in Noel.' London, proved he handwriting of Davis and Browne, the indorsers of the Mr. Mellor, in defence, stated that the defendant was an undergraduate of the University of Cambridge, and having a race horse of his own, he became acquainted with Broome. The acquaintance, in this ease, had a ruinous effect on the prospects of the defendant. A friend of Young's, wanted some money for the purpose of paying his coVege expenses, and for that purpu Young accepted a bill of exchange for 50!. Broome offered his services to get the bill discounted, having. as such ammeters always professed to have, • friend in the city." The bid was consequently entrusted to Broome, but he never discounted it , nod after many futile applications fer the bill. a community of de signing persons brought Young to Warwick Maces, in the hat autumn, where Broome made his appearance, and was challenged by Young for the bill, Broome replied, " you said I was to keep it ; you lost beta to me mg the Chester Cup to the amount of 112/., end said I might keep the bill." Young rejoined—" Why, instead of losing, I backed the winner." On this Broome offered to show Young his own handwriting fur the amount he had lost on the Chester race. A crowd assembled, and the re sult was that Young was fool enough to give his written engagement for the amount, on coudition that Broome was not to use the bill at all or put it in suit against him until he produced the alleged handwriting in admission of the debt. The bill was accepted, and Broome received it; yet' Broome, in violation of his engagement, handed it over to Mr. East, who was now put forward as the person who had most chance of the bona fides, and in order to give the case the greater appearance ofjustice. The defendant was put into the box, and corroborated the ststeuaent of hie counsel as to the circumstances under which the bill of 1121. was obtained from him—namely, conditional upon Broome's producing his (defendant's) ad mission that he had lost money to bun (Broome) upon the Chester Cup. On the contrary, witness swore that he had backed the winner of that race. He had given the bill to Broome because he had threatened to follow him wherever be went, and collected a crowd of persons round them. Mr. Macaulay then called the plaintiff and his clerk. The former said that he was an attorney at Birmingham, and was employed by Henry Broome and John Broome and his wife, iu some legal proceedings, about August or September last, in the Hamp and Prubert conspiracy case. The bill was indorsed to him by Broome, on the 27th of November. He had applied to Broome for cash, and it had been arranged that Broome should bring him 601. On the Saturday, previous to the trial, he brought the bill for 1121., and said that witness might either have that, or he (Broome) would get it cashed, and bring the 601. Wit ness preferred taking the bill, on Broome's assurance that it was a good one. He knew nothing of the circumstances between Broome and Young, or he would have taken the cash instead of the bill. Broome at that time owed him (witness) 2601., for professional services. His lordship, in summing up, observed that the question was whether East got the bill before the 20th December, if he did, the verdict must be for him ; but if, as had been alleged, it was on the 27th December, then the question would be whether he gave consideration for it. If not, as the plaintiff and his clerk had swore that consideration . . wasigiven, and the jury were to return a verdict for the defendant, it would be tantamount to saying that the plain tiff and his clerk were perjured. The jury, after some consultation, bad to retire, because as the forentrn stated to the judge, he believed the evi dence of the plaiutiff and his clerk, but that the rest of the jury did not. Verdict for the defendant. THE POLICE CO URTS. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. It will be recOiloWe7ltiiiiless --- rs.Pawso7and Co., of St. Paul's-churchyard, through their solicitors, made a com plaint at this court against parties who bad put forth hand bills to the effect that a vast quantity of silk goods, velvets, linens, &c., valued at 174,0001., bad been saved from the " great fire in St. Paul's churchyard," and were to be sold at as " alarming sacrifice" at the Society of Painters is Water Colours' Room, Suffolk-street ; that the statements in the bills were unauthorised and untrue, and that it was the desire of the firm to expose the imposition, and to put the public on their guard. Oa the Wednesday after this application war made, Mr. Parry came to the court and ap plied, on behalf of Mews. Phillips and Manson, the par. ties who had taken tho premises in Suffolk-street, and whose names were on the bills complained of by Messrs. Pawson and Co., for summonses for conspiracy and libel against Mr. Owen, Secretary to the London Trade Protec tion Society, 170, Regent-street, for issuing a handbill dam offensive character. ..... Mr. Bingham said he would take time to consider his decision, and hinted that he thought it was hardly the right course to take by the Society for the Protection of Trade, even though they might propou to themselves to protect the public, that of circulating offensive handbills. Yesterday Mr. Hutchinson appeared before Mr. Bing ham, and begged to renew his application on behalf of Meters. Phillips and Manson, of Pall-mall, for summonses for con spiracy and libel against Mr Owen, the secretary to the lead* Protection Society, Regent-street, and other persons connected with the same society. Since the application was first made, the offensive handbills had been discontinued, but having been informed Mr. Owen bad stated it was his intention to annoy the complainants in another way, he must press for the decision of the roam Mr. Trevethan Spicer said he appeared on behalf of the London Trade Protection Society, and was quite ready to go into the cue, and to produce facts justifying the proceed ings of his clients. Mr. Bingham interrupted the learned gentleman, and said sa Mr. Oeren bad taken the hint he gave him on the law of the cue, and bad discontinued the issuing the hand bide, he should refuse to grant the summonses. The parties and their friends left the court. Uhriatopher Me/yriesm, a young gentleman, 19 years of age, reported to be nearly related to a family of distinction, and John Cody, a lad, aged 17, having the appearance of a costermonger, wore charged with having been found in Hyde park on Sundsy evening, inciting each other to lewdness. Mr. Bingham committed both prisoners for trial. HAMMERSMITH. Was. Jones was charged with the following fraud. Mr. C. W. Wharton, of No. 93, St. Martin's-lane, stated that his sister-in-law. Mrs. Elizabeth Wharton, kept a boot and shoe shop, at No. 41, High-street, Notting-hill, and also at No. 91, in the same street, which was managed by the prisoner, who had been in the service about six months. It was the duty of the prisoner to account to Mrs. Wharton every evening for the business transaction.: of the day. In muaguinee of something that had transpired witness em ployed a man on Friday evening last to purchase a pair of boots of the prisoner at the shop No. 31, High-street. He did so, and paid the prisoner 10s. 6d. for them. When the shop was closed he examined the prisoner's account book, and found an entry that the boots had been sold for 9s. ed. Witness challenged the prisoner with having received 10s. 6d. for the boots, which he admitted, and gave witness the 'billing. The prisoner, in defence, said be had had the manage ment of severdshops, and it was always the practice that when goods were sold at extra profits te place a portion of it to those goods that were sold at short profits. When in the shop, persons were in the habit of bating them down in the price of the goods, and es they never liked to tarn away a customer, they sold the goods at short profits, and made it up afterwards when they sold goods at other prices. Mr. Wharton said, another shopman in the service of Mrs. Wharton was charged at that court, some time since, under similar circumstances, and a similar defence was then set up, and witness afterwards directed the prisoner not to adopt such a practice while in the service of his sister-in law. _ _ The prisoner denied having received any directions of that description, ai.cl said the ahopman at No. 41 wu per fectly aware of two instances in which he adopted the prac tice at No. 31. The ihOpznn alluded to said he was not aware of the fact. _ _ Mr. Beadon said the prisoner would have to repeat that statement to •jury. It was not the way to keep amounts, as he was of opinion that it opened the door to very great frauds. He remanded the prisoner, to allow the polio' an opportunity of inquiring into the matter. AN AVALANCHE recently fell from one of the highest mountains is the department of the Ariege, and carried death and destruction in its coarse. Trees, crops. houses, farm buildings, animals, and men were swept away before it. A hamlet celled Reboul was completely buried. As soon as the catastrophe was known at the neighbouring commune of Angst, the inhabitants hastened to render as sistance. During 24 hour., 400 men worked hard amidst ruined building., snow, icicles, and rocks. They dug out alive a dour. persons, many of whom were much bruised, and partly frozen. Nine corpses were found, and the search was going on when the last accounts let. The loss of property is said to be very great. - • - - - - SETTLEMENT OF THE OLEN-TILT CASE.—Thin celebrated and important case has, " of consent of the de fender," resulted in a finding that there is a public road through Glen-Tilt, and in the duke being found liable in the whole expenses of the process. We believe that this termination of the case has been reached on an understand ing that the pursuers will not resist an intended application by the duke to the road trustees, for leave to make a new road deviating from the present track in its lower part for wo or three miles.—Seoesnocan.

JAMAICA MARKETS. (►rom De Cordara's Mercantile latelligetocer.) KINGSTON. JAMAICA., FEB. 26. We have not any improvement to report in the state of the import market, either as regards prices or inquiry.' Breadstuff. are more than usually neglected, whilst the sup plies of flour especially are accumulating to an extent con siderably disproportiuned to the ordinary demand. Fish has been in better request, but even dry cod would have failed to command the attention be-towed on it, were it not that holders force it on the hands of dealers, by their re fusal to sell pickled fish apart from it ; and as the latter is very much wantsd (the demand for herrings especially being very considerable), the trade are compelled to operate. Produce is coming in rather more freely, in consequence of the cmeation of rains ; but it does not appear that the crops generally are being gathered in with much alacrity. The withdrawal fre,m field labour of a Jorge number of Coolies, who are about to return to India, will retard the operations of the harvest in a considerable degree, and probably endanger a portion of the sugar crop. A report has been presented to the House of Assembly from the finance committee, recommending the abolition of all tonnage dues on vessels entering the ports of this island, with the exception of a light house tax of 34 per ton. The report having emanated from • very large committee, it may be reasonably expected that the house will adopt it. Indeed, from all that we have been able to learn on the subject, it appears very certain that as far as the popular branch of the legislature is concerned, a favourable dispo sition is evinced to facilitate the intercourse between this and other countries, and it is not unlikely that the light house tax will be also abandoned. As yet, we are not prepared to afford any information as to the disposition of the other branches of the government towards the mea sure, but there is no reason to suppose that they will be opposed to the general desire of the country. The opinion is gaining the ascendancy that the restrictions, amounting in some instances to prohibition, which Imee hitherto been imposed on our commercial and maritime relations, cannot any longer be maintained with safety to the interest. of the colony. . _ _ Axawivits.—The last operations were effected at 225. for large prime No. 1. B —The market has been very inactive, and Irish has been moving only in small parcels at 1 : 20. to 13,1. The receipts during the fortnight exceed 1,000 firkins, among. which is included a parcel of 288 firkins via New York, and it is very probable that this large quantity will have the effect of keeping the price at :the first figure. 60 ke American, the only parcel at market, were taken at 11+d. There is not any Halifax on hand. tsar—Continues in limited request, and seUs only by retail. BRANDT.—The operations have been unimportant, at prices which may be considered only nominal. BUSAD.—Wattson's and domestic are taken in moderato parcels, at 17s. and 19s. reepectively,for Pilot and Crackers. Co AAAAA x.—Mowes only by retail, though holders are anxious to realise at a coneidcrable reduction from last rates. _ CANDLES.—The receipts of tallow have been very ample, and dealers are not now disposed to operate at anything over 7id. COIPII.—We quote ordinary at 325. to 33c, and good to fine ordinary at 344. to 365., with sales thereat. We are u yet without any supplies of middling and fine. Coate is plentiful and dull. We have not beard of any operations of moment, and holders would be willing sellers at prices much under hat quotations. CODIPISE.—The first arrival from Halifax after our last issue was placed at 154. fur casks and 20s. per box, and some progreu has been made in the second at similar prices; but these rates were realised only is consequence of the re fusal of holders to separat e dry from pickled flab, and as the latter is in considerable demand—herrings more espe cially—dealers were obliged to accede to the terms. A cargo, composed entirely of codfish from Arichat, C. 8., for which 14s. and 184. rzspectively for easks and boxes could not be obtained, has changed hands on private terms. The cask fish was put up in packages not at all in favour with the trade. C•nnu.—Best D. O , of suitable size, is being placed at 1 ld. per lb. One parcel which suffe red from • long voyage was moved at 9d. We notice the arrival of • large parcel yesterday, via Cork. not:R.—No operations of any importance have been effected during the fortnight, and supplies are accumulat ing. It is estimated that the stock now in Kingston ex ceeds 8,0001. barrels. The trade still hold back, under the impression that holders must reduce their preteasions. By auction on Thursday, 190 barrels Baltimore were placed, chiefly at 325. Since the above was in type, we learn that 500 barrels Baltimore, ex a very recent arrival, have changed hands at 325. 64., and that for • like quantity of equally late receipt, the same figure has been offered and refused. Fuziou'ra are still scarce. We have not heard of any engagements. GOLD.—American was sold this week at per cent., but an advance of i per cent. was generally demanded yester day. Doubloons are very scarce, at 4to 6 per cent. prem. ligaßlNoB.—The parcels of prime large shore ' with roes, which remained on hand at date of our last, were taken at 225. The first subsequent receipt was held firmly for 235., but having proved on landing not to be " shore ' herrings, and being besides very thin, the holders were obliged to accept 21s, which rate was given only in conse quence of the graat scarcity of the article. There is now on hand one parcel of prime quality, which is held for 22a. to go with dry fish at 15s. and 20s. LARD.—Prices have fallen under the recent ample re ceipts. The last operation was effected at 9.1 per lb. Lumnza.—The market is without change. W. P. is worth 90a, and W. C. sh.ngles 161. to 21s. as in quality. Maxr.-150 barrels Tenuent's pale ale were sold to ar rive at 7s. 6d. per dozen. All descriptions of bottled ale are in good inquiry, but porter is comparatively neglected. Some small sales of Lanes stout were effected at 90s. per hogshead, bat as the stock is now considerable, holders would accept a lower figure to realise. Cliz.—Cod still sells freely at 21. 9d. per gallon. Lard and cocoanut are very much wanted. Pours.—The operations have been confined to 60 barrels mess at 104 s. Supplies are still considerably in elms of demand. PIItiNTO.-111ay be quoted nominally at 345. per 100Iba. There is very little here. Rica —Bengal is inactive at 17s. 6d. Patna is in good inquiry, and commands 19s. per 1001bs. Rem.—The market is rather better supplied. Favourite brands command 2s. 2d. Other descriptions may be quoted at 2s. to 2a. Id. per gallon, proof 21. SALMON.—No. 1 as worth 76a. per brl. SALT.—The sales of fie. reach over 400 sacks,which were moved at 61. to 7s. Suomi is mere plentiful, and prices have given way to a small extent. We quote 14s. to 20.. for dark to very Hoe. _ _ _ -We have nothing to report of this article. AMERICAN MARKETS. NEW Yon:, MARCH 9. The stock and money troubles of Wall-street continue, and the former grew quite serious in the forenoon, from the continued stringent calls of the banks on their demand loans. Thu se loans are mostly made subject to call, without an hour's notice, and they are now being used to strengthen the position of the banks with each other, for their daily or weekly settlements. The market for breadstuff' is quiet, and prices rule at very nearly the same rates as at the last adrices, Western Canal flour being Quoted at 4 doh. 87c. to 5 doll., steady ; Genessee wheat. 1 - dol. 22e. to 1 dol. 24c. ; Indian corn, round yellow, 64 dol. 66c. well _supported ; Indeal meal, 3 dol. 25c. to 3 dol. 371 c. The following are the latest quotations la our cotton mar ket :—New Orleans and Mobile, mid fair to fair, llic. to 12c. ; Uplands and Florida, 102 c. to 112 e. per lb. The provision market is dull, and prices have a down ward tendency. The rates demanded for freights are rather easier than those last repotted. Flour to Liverpool was taken at 2s. 6d., and part to fill up at 2s. 64. ; corn at 72d., and wheat on private terms; tobacco, 30s. ; to Havre, bone was taken at lc.; cotton at 2c. ; and rice at 8 dots. to 10 dole. Exchange on London was dull, at 1092 to 1092 ; Paris, 6 14 ; Hamburg, 363 to 362 ; Bremen, 80 to 812. Ivsw ORLBANS, MARCH 4. The sales of cotton to-day were 8,000 bales, at steady prices ; middling is quoted at Mc. to 9c.
