This appeal was from the decision of the revising barris ter acting for the northern division of Warwickshire, and laveived the important qusstion which has been raised be fore in this court, though not in precisely the same form, as to the right of the ntecithra of building and freehold land eacietios to vote before they have paid the full amount of the purchase money of their property to the society. From the opening statement it appeared that the cue found that the claimant was a member of the Coventry Baddiug and Investment Society, established under the prieviaians of the G and 7 Will. 1%., cap. 32. In the society Le bed thee:. shares, with the advances upon which he, on the Pith of October, lbk/, purchased an estate in fee simple, is the parish of Stoke, of the annual value of 61., cod had the property conveyed to him ; but he afterwards mort gaged it to the trustee, of the society to secure the advances. The clai:nant paid to the society ill. Its. per annum, V. lbs. of which was applied to the payment of interest, and the rya-Under in liquidation of the principal. The ease found that le, default had been made in any payment, and the amount due on the lot of January to the society was 47; 19s. 3d. Under these circumstances it was contended that such contributions were in law and feet an sonnet thus;(- upon the estate, beyond the annual value, which, tlieria , re, did not amount to 405. annually after the payment of all charges. The revising barrister was of opinion that the weekly payment of 4s. 6cl. was charged upon tte, estate, and should he deducted from the annual value thereof, which was thereby reduced below 40m. This being an, he held that there was no right to vote, and Lc soar( d the name of the claimant. If only sc much of the weekly payment as was payable in respect of in- terisit. viz., 2/. IG.. per annum, was to be deducted from the annual value, the same was to be restored to its place upon the list; but if not, the decision was to stand, and - wee to be struck out. Mr. It Keane now addressed the court on be half of the appellant, and contended that, hot withatandiug the derision which been given by the court on previous occasions, it was the duty of the revising barrister to estimate the property of the appellant at larger earn than 40. h. a year, inasmuch as the only distinction which ho ought to make was tam 21. lbs. pa3able fur interest, leaving his annual estate to be 31. 4a. fhe :set stated theta mu/wager in actual powession or receipt of the rent or profit should vote, notwithstanding midi mortgage • and is this case the appellant was a mort gagor in PEtetlo.ols ' having more than 40a. a year interest in Hie same alter the payment of interest upon the an borrowed. The statute tS Henry %I. enacted that all personas dwelling in counties, having 411 s. a year at least out of laud above all charges, should be entitled to vote. He had looked into the matter, and he found that the French word used by , the legislature was " reprisee," instead of " charges ; and he inquired into the aheaning. of this curd, end found in a book of high standing, called " Terms of the Law," the word defined to mean, "deductions and payments which go patty, and are pail out of manor," este. ; cad in " Jacob'. Law Dictionary " it was described shortly no "deduction, fruits profits." Now the only outgoing of this kind paid by tile appellant was for interest, and the re mainder of the payment made by him wan not a deduction from Kolas, but a payment for which the repellant got a benefit, for in the ratio in which ho paid his interest 111 the estate was enlarged. The Chief Justix—You mean that he is a growing free holder, so to speak. Mr. Keane —Yes, that was sn. The amount paid for in terest was paid by him for the privilege of being allowed time to pa) the principal in, but beyond that every pay ment increased the talent ul his estate. The Chief Justice—But 111. 11,. was paid yearly, and that reduced the value to lee. than the amount neeetwary to give the mite. Mr. Keaue submitted that the profit was the difference between the hi. and the amount paid fur interest on the sum borrowed. Mr. Justice Maule—One of the old statutes said that voters wen• to be those who could " dispend " 40e. a year. Mr. Keane said that that was the statute of Henry VI. to which he had ieferreil. Themetutittg of the statute was, that voter. should have a. much as 4Us. a year its laud, aced he ►ubmitted that theappe limit had value to the extent of 31. 45.; for it he were to lay out that amount in buying land, it would c!, irly be dispensing" it within the mean ing of the art. and it was the wase thing it lie expended it in payiug Ins mortgage mt. Supposing that the decision of the revimq barrister ware correct this year, it must be true in the last year of the society, wbeu there would be uuly 111. Ha. to be paid. The Clitef Justice—But the fact would then be different. The revising barrister found that what had been paid was net worth 4th. a year ; but in the last year of the society anybody would give that amount fur the interest which the clamant Lai in it. Mr. Jamie, Williams—Suppose a man were devisee of an estate worth lOW. a year, subject to an annuity for tire years of 11,10/ , would he be entitled to vote during the bye years for which the annuity was payable ? Mr. Ke my agreed that he ...tuna not. Mr. Ju•tux Maule thought that the question at present as what could be gut from a teuant for the appellant's estate. . . . 'Me Chief Justice--Would a tenant take the estate of the appellant, awl give him year for it ? Mr. Krim admitted that he would not, but contended that hit client's interest iirthe property was measured Ds the ditferessee between IV. and '!/. Ilia. fhe remainder up s the PAM paid was not interest our a " reprise," for it was ex pended is such a manner that he always got an equivalent fur il._ . Mr. Judie..

Mr. Justice Mettle —The court, in deciding that case, was sot, by any means, ignorant that the act hail been re pealed, fur tiny knew that the practice was very different now to what it would have barn under that act, although they had not mentioned it partieularly. Suppose, for in. stance, that the dieing° laid down in one of theStar•ehamber CAW, was reternal to in a judgment, would it be said that the court was not counasaat of the het that the Star chamber Court was abolished ? Mr. Keane drew the ultimata's of the court to the ease of Copeland v Bartlett '• (6 B.), in which cue Mr. Justice Mate was reported to have said " It is said that the ap pelleaps infra st in the mot team was not stated, and if it were ant. - li.ii it might be thated.•• So that then the court iseided without ►m o wing the amount of his interest: bat is the present ewe their lordships were enabled to WC what meow of thy annual rav lactlt was sof tests-tOst anti what for principal, This being so they mull see that the amount paid for interest lilt MM. than 10s. a sear. and be there fore whin:hal that to decide against the right to vote would b to depart from the intention both of the statute of Henry VI , and id moil, rn legoletiim. Mr. Beaman, for the reeporident, shortly addressed the court, sad submitted that the question was simply what was the value of the estate in question to the appellant when hie income from it was W., and hie outgoing* amounted to upwards of 111. Thu being the state of facie, i was diffi cult to come to any other conclusion than that the appel lant's proecrty was ant of any annual value to him. The learned counsel on the other side appeared to have con founded the value of the land with the voter's interest in it, but if the question were properly considered he submit ted that it would be found to be preeisely the tame as that decided in the use of Lee r. llutehinsos." and that the app .oil must accordingly be dismissed. Mr. It I:eane them replied. and contended that the learned comael foe the respondent had not at all dealt with the line of argument which he hail adopted. Ther'lnet Justice said it seemed to him that this ease was governed ba thou. of "Lee r. liatchiuson, - and •• Ceps:limit e. Bartlett,'• for the real matter was not to enter into any minute and subtle way in which the statute might be avoided, but to look to see what citate this claimant had. 'The court must molt rstand this estate to be worth what was paid for it, and applying that tint the value was fouud to be W., but lie paid in respect of that interest a sum of money amount ing to 111. and upwards. This being so it was worth to him yearly a minus quantity—nothing. That was the simpler, way of deciding the matter. A society of this !Ind might go on foe twenty years, and in the 20th year a altareholdir might commi. such a breach that his estate would be entirely gone. It teemed to him that this was another attempt to avoid the plain meaning of the statute. The other judges concurred, and the appeal was dis missed with costs. UUSTON (APPFLI.tNT) r.

The respondent was minister of the Baptist Chapel, at Rude, and he claimed to vote in respect of his interest in the chapel-house, which by the trust deed he had a right to oecupy without paying any rent. The revising barrister held that the vote was good. Mr. Ilumfrey was proceeding to read the case, when a difficulty arose in consequence of its not being signed by the retinas, barrister; and, after some discussion had taken place, it was agreed that the matter should be heard by consent of both sides. The Chief Justice—My learned brother Miule informs me that I have to give an account to the House of Com mous of what I do under this act, and if this ease is heard and I report that we have repealed part of the statute under which we act by consent, and also have by consent rejected a vote which otherwise would have been allowed I shall violate the law. (A laugh.) Mr. Hayes—Then I must withdraw my consent, for I cannot consent to a violation of the law. (Laughter.) Some further disenssien then ensued. and the books ulna the matter were referred to; and it was at length arranged' that the appeal should be bend.

This was en action to recover damages for a certain false, scandalous, and malicious libel, published by the defendant, the publisher of the Medical Times, in his newspaper of Nov. 2, 11110, reflecting upon the plaintiff. Mr. Ilurnfrey, is ttatin2 the case, said that in the course of the lest year there was ,a society called the Medical Protection Office, in which the plaintiff had been engaged tot atone time as the assistant secretary, and in which he had conducted himself entirely to the satisfaction of those by whom be was employed. The society, however, ' fell into difficulties, and the plaintiff thought that he could set up another bovine-4 of a similar character for himself. Ile accordingly established a new office in Foley-place, to which he gave the name of the Medical and General Agency Office, it being, in fact, a society instituted by medical teen fur the purpose of protecting themselves from various frauds, and to enable them to procure without the expense of • lengthened litigation sums of money which might be doe to them from their patients. The plaintiff bast had nothing whatever to do with the unfortunate cir cumstances connected with the old office, for he had only been its servant. His new office was being carried on with every prospect of success, and was doing very wcU, wlieu there appeared in the Medial Tines one of the most tc endalous libels that coukl be issued by an anonymous scoundrel, who had not the courage I. put his name to what he wrote. He (Mr. Ilunsfrey) did nut think it would be for the good of society to criticise over nicely what might be said of public per sons or in.titutions ; but when an individual adopting the title of " Fiat Justin.," or " A Lover of Justice," or such ponsense, chose to publish an atrocious libel to which he dared not affix his own name, lest he should be soundly horsewhipped, it became their duty to mark in an unlae takeable manner their sense of such conduct. Ihe learned counsel then read the libel, which was as follows " The Medical and Surgical l'ractitioners' Society.—('To the Editor of the Medical Tiates.)—Sir,—The manliness and public spirit with which you have exoosed, from time to time, the shameless conduct of the Medical Protection Office entitle you to the gratitude of every member of our profession. ]our faithfulness to our interests will be re worded. The profession are too easily duped, and seem positively to delight in the process, in accordance with the old Iludibtastic principle, that The Mason is as grist in tame seemed sa t chest. I nnelentsind, sir,that notwithstanding all you have written, one Mr. O'Reilly, the managing man of Brearey's office, and, as lam told, the getter-up and factotum of the cele brated Mail Delivery Office, has had the audacity to at tempt the establishing of another nautical protection office, somewhere in the locality of Foley-place, and that he had actually sent round circulars to the profession, and found men silly enough to confide their account,' to him for col lection. This hornet's nest must be dispersed and every member of it driven beyond the limits of the :prokasion. If the 'imitator' honestly wish to dissociate themtelver from disreputable connezious, and to protect the it own in terests, they will effectually put down all such attempts as I have referred to by joining the Medical and Surgical Practitioners' Soeiety—a society founded and directed by media men, and subjected to an excellent code of laws, which, faithfully administered, will secure the interests of all the members. The men now at the helm are, for the most part, well known to the profession, and worthy of aU confidence ; and I trust that the society, to which I may add I have entrusted my own accounts, will be warmly sup ported, 110 that by union and co-operation in a truly frater nal spirit we may promote the common good. I say, then, to all my brother members, rally round the Medical and Surgical Practitioners' Society, and defeat all the efforts made by a set of cunning sdventuters to impose upon your confidence. As an evidence of what this new society is doing, it has collected fur me since its formation IV. from among a mass of debts which, whilst in the hands of the defunct Medical Protection Office, brought me exactly twelve pence. 1 was informed at the office last week that it was going on prosperously, and I have no doubt, if the profes-ton do their duty towards it, that it will prove • great boon.—l am, sir, When this letter appeared, an application was made is the defendant to give up the name of the author, but he declined. The jury would observe what was the real story of the libel. It was quite competent for any one to puff his own business ; and it was only the other day that he (the learned counsel) had seen an advertisement which I stated that " the only fact acknowledged by all the philo sophers in the world was that the only real spint in the world was Betts's patent brassily." (Load laughter.) Bat that advertisement did not go on to say that all other brandy merchants were a set of knavm. He could not tell what medical men had to do with the mail delivery office, fur he should have thonght that the female delivery o ffi ce would hove been more in their way—(roars of laughter)— but the insinuation was that it was some swindling com pany, and the plaintin was stated to be its getter up and factotum. This, then, WAS the real sting of the litiel, and he had no doubt that the jury would award his client sub stantial damages for the injury which had been done him by its publication. The admission that Mr. Churchill was the publisher of the Medics! Times, having been put in, Mr. Ilumfrey called Theophilus Simmons, who said—l knew the plaintiff when he was in the otßee of Mr. Urearey, the manager of the Medical Protection Society. I have read the libel and have no doubt that it refers to him. Crese-ezamined by Mr. Chambers—l am a clerk at the Medical l'iotection Society, Ci, Lincoln's Inn-fields. Mr O'Reilly is now in no way connected with it. It is governed by a president and a committee. Mr. l'ropert, of New Cavendish-street, Cavendisk-square, is the president. Mr. Bre:trey has nothing to do with it now. Mr. O'Reilly ens connected with it in May 1819, when I joined the ease. We both continued to belong to it until September WOO, when it was broken up. Mr. O'Reilly was assis tant secretary, but was cot a collector; that is bo slid nut go out collecting, but when debtors brought mow to the office he received it. The business of the oilloo was the cokes:tine of debts and the disposing of me dial practices. It had been established about six months, when I became clerk. Medical men subscribed u guinea a year each so the office, and also paid • commission on the seam:its reetivemil for them. There were about 1,200 sub- warm Mr. 0' Miley used to ~h. unbseriptieMs. Me. alliany is now living at Blackheath. Ds Is in court; but ba did not cone with me. I have seen Mr. O'Reilly tnis wanting. 1 met him and Mr. Brearey together. Mr. imam has now an other in John-street, Adelphi. It is ea aim floe the discovery of lost addresses. CA laugh.) Mr. Chambers—Why, *hat is that? Is it an office for the discovery of lovers addressee ? (Renewed laughter.) Witness—Allow me to explain. In a metropolis like this there is an immense number of tradesmen who are hieing money every day, because their debtors go away, and they cannot find them. Mr. Brearey has established an office for the purpose of discovering their addresses, and when he has found them out he has persons to apply to them for the amount of their debts. Ile has been engaged in this b as fur about six mouths. I believe that he is an as. tunny ; but he slid not practise as such when he was awl ringer of the Medical Protection office. Mr. William Vaal) Eyre did the legal business- When the office was bream ap there was a very large de fi ciency, but Idu not bars wiMt it was. The society lasted about a coup.e of yaws. The eleficieney artier from not paying over the money veer waved from debtors. When the society broke up it was amigucil to a committee, and its business is still carried on la Liiicolii's.inn.fields, where the books of the old office still remain. Mr. Henry Farmer is now the superintendent. I have the management of the County Court depart ment. I heard that some of the books were lea They were thrown into the Thames. I cannot tell by whom. There was a - lad in the other whose business it was to put them by at night when the other clerks left at five o'clock. One night be had seen them all sate, and the next morning they were in the Thames. (A laugh.) They were found loon afterwards, I believe, by a waterman. I have seen them since, and they look to be in a very whole some condition. I do not know whether when the meet ing of the subscribers at the break-up of the society was held the books were safely in the Thames. The society kept a 'ranking account at Dixon's in Chancery-lane. Per seus used to complain that they could not get their cheques paid there. That was of constantly increasing occurrence. I cannot tell whether Dixon gave up the account. I never had any convenatiou on the subject with either O'Reilly or Brearey. About six months before the break up cheques were drawn down stairs on Mr. Brearey Li? stairs. Those cheques were signed byMr.o' Reilly, Mr. Green (the secretary), and myself. Those cheques were wet always paid. Sometimes they were crossed and paid to the bankers. I don't know that Brearey bad a banker's license, O'Reilly used generally to see the parties who came about their money. I never heard him called the bully of the office. The parties who could not get their money often used to make a great clamour. O'Reilly used to tell them that he would rend them a cheque. I believe that they were not always satisfied with that promise, but these things did not make any impression on me. (Laughter.) We used to have our own salaries regularly up to the last lay. (A laugh.) Mr. Chambers—May I ask what was your salary ? Witness—Certainly not ; I think it is an impertinent vacation. (Laughter.) Mr. Chambers—Don't say that lam impertinent. It is slander to say that a lawyer is impertinent. (Laughter.) Witness—l was not recommended to my present situa tion by Mr. Brearey. I was recommended by a gentleman whose character stands high above all suspi2ions. equally with Mr. Chambers. Mr. Chambers—You must not say equally with mine, because perhaps it does nit. Witness—l never said it did. (Laud laughter,) Mr. Chambers—Well, if your friend's stands equally high with mine you know the result. (Laughter.) Witness—Not a sous was paid for my situation. Mr. O'Reilly is now in practice as a surgeon. lie showed me 'the libel on time dtb of November, 1850. The Medical Tine, publishes' a retractation of the assertion that Mr. O'Reilly was maimed with the mail delivery office. Besides se there were in the office Mr. Green, the secretary ; Messrs. Castles, Packer, Pratt, Rolleiton, Ilerlwrt and Evans. Mr. Wintour via. , a collector. I am friendly with O'Reilly now. He mentioned to me that Mr. Eyre had said that he cO'lteilly) Mid proposed to him to keep the commission on old., which hail been recovered for Mr. Gorlay, a subscriber, and not to tell Mr. Dreamy ; but O'Reilly denied that foe charge was true. lie aleo told me that Packer had charged him with receiving 41. fur procuring a subscriber named Part, but he said it was an untruth. Likewise that ho had received money of John Keaggs, which he also denied. Ale., that he had been ac cused of receiving money of William Knowles to procure him a situation; and also with receiving money from Mr. Adams, both of which he also denied. O'Reilly first started an °See in Foley-place, which he called the Phar maceutical office ; but iu about two months lie changed its name to the Medical General Agency Office. It was finally shut up in consequence of this libel. Re-examined—O'Reilly had no more to do with the con cern, of the old office than the other clerks. When it was broken up he endeavoured to establish another on the same principle. O'Reilly's office, as far as I knew, was conducted respectably and with every prospect of good success As far as I know, O'Reilly hail nothing to do with the loss of the books or with the deficiency. O'Reilly came to me to consult rue upon the pleas which had been pleaded on the other side, and then he told me of the charges to which re ferenee hu hien made. This was the plaintiff's case. On the part of the defence the following retraetation, which appeared in the Medical limes, three weeks after the libel, was read: " A statement in a letter signed 'Philo,' and recently published in our journal, to the effect that Mr. O'Reilly was the getter-up and factotum of the celebrated Mail Delivery-office haviog given pain to that gentleman, we take this opportunity oldie-associating MeO'lleilly's name from the alleged connexion with that office, as we have been assured that he never was in any way a party either to the formation or the management of such public com pany.—(Ed. Medical Tiates.)" Mr. Chambers then proceeded to address the jury at great length on behalf of the defendant, commenting with much severity on the defalcations of the )101/C4 Deception Society, as he said it ought to be called; and arguing that the defendant had not exceeded his duty in warning the profession and the public, that one who had taken so active a share iii its management was starting a similar company of his own. Desid,s, what Mr. Humphrey had declared to be the very sting of the libel, had been formally retracted; and therefore if the jury thought they were compelled to give damages at all, a turthing would be a deal too much. The learned judge, in summing up, expressed his opinion that the letter in the Medical Times was really a libel, but left the question of damages entirely to the jury, who found, after a few seconds' deliberation, a verdict for the plaintiff —Damages, one farthing. INSOLVENT DEBTORS COURT.—VESTERDAT. lissom Ma. 0,10111•PlOYM IN TUE MATTER OW VIACOUNT Di SERVEVILLE. This insolvent, Charles flypolitus Mansell, Viscount Dc Sequeville, applied under the Protection Act fur his final order. Mr. Cooke opposed far Captain Bristow, and Mr. Nichols supported. ho care had been before the court on some former occa sions; the last time in July, when the discharge was ordered, and the present bearing appointed for the final order. The point now raised was that a debt of 200 f. had been incurred with Captain Bristow without reasonable or probable expectations of payment. It appeared that the insolvent had been the managing director of the Duisburg iron Company, which failed through the political state of Germany a few years back, and the affairs of the company were now before one of the Masters in Chancery under the Wiuding•up Act. lie obtained 200/. of Captain Bristow on, it was alleged, some scrip of the company, but the insolvent alleged that it was a private debt to assist him in the formation of the same. Besides the debt Captain Bristow had been put to about 801. Law expenses by t e insolvent pleading to an action he brought against him to recover the 2004. Mr. Cooke thought that the costs so contracted for the vexatious defence might be considered as a debt incurred without probable expectation of payment. Mr. Commissioner Phillips said the legislature had omitted a vexatious defence from the l'rotection Act. It was certainly an anomalous state of things, that in the other act under which a man could not apply without going to prison, it should be an offence; and under this in dulgent act, which was available without imprisonment, that it should be omitted. it was certainly very strange, and as it was omitted, ho could not consider that it came within the section of contracting a debt without reasonable or probable expectation of payment. The insolvent, on his arrest in May last, petitioned under the Protection Act, and applied for his discharge before hearing. Ile was opposed on the part of Captain Brist4w, and his application refused on the ground that the debt had been incurred without reasonable expectation of pay ing it. lle remained in prison until the end of July, when he applied to be heard and was not opposed. On that oc casion lie was discharged, and had remained at large till the present occasion, when he applied fur his final order. Mr. Cooke thought the court had exceeded its duty, as the discharge should nut have been granted till the final order. Capt. Bristow was out of town, and had Lot op posed when the application was made. Mr. Commissioner Phillips was of opinion that as there sow no opposition when the application ass made, that the insolvent was entitled to his discharge. Mr. Cooke still urged upon the court that the 2001. debt had been contracted without reasonable expectation of pay ment, and referred to the insolvent's schedule, and the debts he owed at the time he obtained the advance. Mr. Commissioner Phillips, wittiest deciding whether the money was advanced ou scrip or as a private debt, was of opinion that looking at the debts the insolvent owed, that it was incurred without reasonable menus of payment. Ile could not consider that the expectancies of the insolvent, • as to certain speculations were to be considered reasonable. There was no fraud in the case, but he could not grant the final order. At the rising of the court the learned Commissioner said • he had considered the three months' imprisonment the insolvent had already suffered, and he might come up in a week. The insolvent asked for protection. Mr. Commissioner l'hillips told him ho would willingly give it, but he had no power; he might .tome up on 'Elmira ! day next (or his final order. THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 14, 1851 THE POLICE COURTS. GUILDHALL. William Griffith Kemp was charged with baying pre sented a forged cheque at the Loudon and Westminster Bank, on NVednesday last. The cheque, which was for 391. 10s., and dated 12th November, 1841, purported to be drawn by William Palmer in favour of Cook and Co. A person of that name had an account at the bank, but the cashier doubting the genuiness of the signature, made some inquiry which resulted iu the prisoner being given into custody. Ile stated to the officer that he was a porter, living at 3, Church-street, Islington, and that on the morn ing of Wednesday a gentleman called on him and said he hail been recommended to hint by a silversmith, and asked if he would go to Debeuhain and Storr's, in King street, Covent-garden, get a catalogue of the next day's sale, and bring it to him at Johnson's sale-rooms, Grace church-street. Ile did so, and having met the person who employed him he then directed him to go to the Bank and get the cheque in question changed for gold and bring the amount to him at the sale-rooms. The officer allowed the prisoner to go back to the sule-rooms after he was taken into custody in order that he might point out the person who sent him to the Bank, but he was unable to do so. Ile was then taken to his own house in ieliugton in order to see if the person in question would come there to receive the money, where he waited till six o'clock without any thing being heard of Mr. Palmer, who is a draper, residing at 18, Aldgate, stated that the signature was nut his, nor had he authorised any one to draw any such cheque, he having, in fact, with- drawn his amnia tram the bank two months ago. It appeared that the prisoner had hitherto borne every good character, and the court expressed an opinion that he had been the dupe of some designing person ; but a brother of Mr. Palmer's, who was in his cuipley, came forward in a state of great excitement and said that it the case was adjourned he could produce witnesses who would identify the prisoner as a person who was found on the stairs in his brother's house on the dth of June last. He was anxious to have the matter investigated, as his brother was sot altogether satisfied that suspicion did not attach to othen besides the prisoner. WORSHIP-STREET. A middle-aged man named John Jeffries, described as a hawker, was charged with an assault of an aggravated de scription upon a young married Weill= named Elizabeth Edwards, residing in aden-place, Hackney. The prisoner in an impudent manner truss-examined the proaccutrix with a view to prove that she had met him the same morning at a public-Rouse in the neighbourhood, and given him encouragement to act so, but she denied that she had done so, or that there were any grounds for such an im putation. Police-constable 67 N stated that upon the proercutrix giving the prisoner into his custody she appeared much alarmed and agitated, and that on taking the latter to the station he said he was sorry be had not met him first, for he would then have given her into custody instead, for de taining a shilling. The prisoner was about to enter upon a rambling and irrelevant defence, but was stopped by the magistrate, who told him that be had better reserve what it was his inten Lion to say, as it was his intention to commit him for trial, and he should, therefore, order him to be remanded tall Saturday next for the completion of the depositions. James Andrews, a respeculdy-dressed elderly person, in independent circumAances, was charged with an assault of a disgusting character upon a youth, named Juseph Trim let, 16 years of age. The prisoner, who generally denied the offence, was fully committed to Newgate for trial. Firmin A. Moron, a Spanish gentleman, aged 40 years, lately arrived in this country, and who, it was stated, is • member of the Legislative Council s• Madrid, was charged with creating • disturbanc: in High-street, Kensington. John M'Key, T, stated that shortly before six o'clock on Wednesday night last he was on duty in Ketutington,when be henrd the loud screaming of a female from the house No. 8, Palace-gardens, where the defendant resided. He imme diately entered the house and saw the defendant holding the throat of a female, who was screaming "murder" and "police." The defendant was threatening to have her life, and said sbe bad betrayed him to Lord Palmerston and his political enemies. Witness succeeded in restoring order, and then quitted the hove. The defendant shortly afterwards came out, and requested witness to turn the female out of the house. Wituess refused to interfere, and the di fon dant instantly proceeded to the police-stutiuu in his car riage, where his conduct wits 1.0 violent, and his language so incoliorent, that the inspector un duty directed witness to watch him. lite defendant afterwards proceeded to several 116[04 out witnl 4, suholuently took him into custody fur protection, and to prevent the inhabitanta fruits being disturbed. It plainly appeared from defendant's conduct that he was of umound mind, and ho was ultimately removed in charge of his friends. MARKETS.

During the past month there has been some movement in manufactured goods. The local demand has been more ani mated. Several troops of carts have been despatched for the interior provinces, taking with them a fair average supply. Some speculative transactions have also taken place, appa rently influenced by political considerations; but to these we attach little intrinsic importance, as the goods exist in the motto, and must again change hands before they reacts the actual consumer. Storks, of course, are far from being exhausted, the vacuum having been filled up, and perhaps more tle filled up, by the recent arrivals. Still we grate fully acknowledge a temporary and perceptible alleviation, and the prelude, we have no doubt, of a busier scene as the season advances. In the department of what we call secondary necessaries thi re is comparatively little danger to he apprehended. Of sugar, wine, oil, coffee, rice, spirits, toLeco, lumber, coals, hardware., and the long list of minor importations from Brazil, the Visited States, and the Mediterranean, the con sumption is so great that a few months serve at any time to rectify any accidental inequality between the supply and demand. At present from eight to ten cargoes may exist in first hands, with the wholesale stores moderately supplied.

PERNAMBUCO, OCT. 22. Since the departure of the Tay our market has not shown any signs of improvement, and business continues to be as doll a,. possible. Sales of manufactures have been very li mited, and prices arc most unsatisfactory ; indeed, almost all kinds of goods, but especially prints, are selling at a loss. Stocks in the hands of importers are not heasy, and sup plies have of late been moderate, but the dealers are cramped with goods which they have been buying during the, past tour months in auctions, tempted by the low prices and a credit of 12 months, while, in the absence of a demand, they have found no ouUet fur their purchases. The present is usually a season of much activity, but as yet there are no signs of briskness. Our winter season has continued un usually long, and the sugar crops will be thrown back at least n month. Cotton, too, comes in very slowly from the country, both of which circumstances, by keeping the country buyers from the market, tend to depress trade. FREIGILTS, in the absence of any produce fur shipment, are nominal. Several lugs, English and foreign, arc wait ing for employment, and id. per lb. would willingly be accepted for cotton to Liverpool. Shipping is abundant at the south ports, and the rates of freight very low, and as arrivals are constantly taking place at Rio of vessels in ballast from the west coast seeking freight, it is probable that some of them may come up here, and our rates in such case may open low when our shipping season commences. EXCHANGE closes for this mail firm at 29d. per milreis, at which about 40,0001. has been passed, GO days' sight, and some small amounts at Aid. for 90 days' bills. Mr. Cuthbertson, lath postmaster of Berwick upon-Tweed, and previously for 13 years at Chester-le- Street, who was removed from the former place, has memo rialised the Lords of the Treasury for a full and impartial investigation into the alleged cause of his expulsion. CORPORATION OF THE SONS OF TUE CLERGY.— The general annual court of this ancient society, chartered in 1678, under the title of "The charity for the relief of poor widows and orphans of clergymen," was yesterday held at the Corporation-house. Bloomsbury-place, for the election of officers for the ensuing year, and the transaction et general business, Sir lt. 11. Inglis, Bart., M.P., in the chair. The Archbishop of Canterbury and Lord Denman were unanimously re-elected as president and vice.presideut : the vacancies in the court of assistants occasioned by death or retirement were filled up with the names of the follow ing noblemen and g entlemen : — Lord Hobert Grosvenor, Lord Justice Knight Bruce, Lord Bishop of Chester, Master Tinny, Archdeacon Sinclair, and the Lord Bishop of Lin coln. The report stated the income arising from dividends on 8,6501. coati's, subscriptions, donations, and the col lection, at the annual sermon at St. Paul's and the dinner at Merchant Tailors' Hall, to be 1,161/. 114.3c1., all which was expended in carrying out the objects of the charity. The proceedings terminated with the usual complimentary vote to the chairman. SAILORS' HOME AT GLASGOW.—On Tuesday a numerous meeting of persons interested in trade and com merce was held in Glasgow, for the purpose of taking steps to erect a sailors' home in that port. Sir Charles Napier addressed the meeting at considerable length in explanation of the advantages of these institutions, and it was stated that the sum of 2,1001. had been already subscribed towards the object in view, which it is intended to carry out imme diately. TICE STEAM-SHIP BENTINCE. SOUTHAMPTON, Nov. 12.—T0-day being appointed for the Admiralty sur vey on this ship—one of the Peninsular and Oriental Com pany's India Mail steamers—she left the docks about 10 o'clock fur a trial trip, having on board the Admiralty en• gineers and shipwright surveyors, three of the directors of the company, Capt. Thornton, MN., J. C. Ewart, Esq., and A. Anderson, Esq., M.P.; Capt. Engledue, the com pany's superiutendent here, with a select party of friends, among whom were Lurd George Lennox, Admiral Ward, Capt. Hill, R.N., &c. The Ilentinek has ter some months past been undergoing a thorough overhaul and repair here, after about six years service in the Indian seas. She has had feathering paddle-wheels fitted to her, new boilers on the patented plan of Mr. Lamb, the company's superin tendent engineer, and the whole of her interior arrange ments have been remodelled and greatly improved—light, capacity, ventilation, and every other requisite for thu health, comfort, and even luxury of passengers hav ing been studied and adopted with an ingenuity which requires to be seen in order to be appreciated. Among other contrivances for ventilation are a pair of fans, which can be set in motion by the engines of the ship, and, by means of zinc tubes attached to them, will send currents of air through all the passenger cabins, and will no doubt be found a great improvement when in the warm atmosphere of the fled Sea, ilke. The Matlack, although much deeper than her ordinary draught, having a large supply of nearly 700 tons of coals on board, ran the measured mile ut an average speed of nearly eleven knots, which when in ordi• nary trim it is estimated will be increased by one to ono and a half knots more, and will show an increase of at least two knots an hour on her former speed. She returned to the docks shortly before three, her excellent band playing " Rule Britannia," her elegant appearance on the water, neatness of rigging, &c., being much admired. She takes out the India mails of the 20th inst. PORTSMOUTH, Nov. 13.—The Sharpshooter, 8, screw steam sloop, Lieutenant Commander J. C.

We learn by her that the Southampton, SO, bearing the flag of Rear Admiral Rey nolds, was at Monte Video, waiting to be relieved by the Centaur, Rear-Admiral Henderson. The Tweed, 11, Commander Lord F. Russell, was also at Monte Video. The Cormorant, 6, steam sloop, Commander Chamberlain, was at Rio, her commander being the senior officer there, with the Harpy, tender to the flag ship. The Geyser, 6, steam sloop, Commander Tatham, was going to Monte Video with provisions for the admiral, after which she would sail for England. The Conflict, 8, screw steam sloop, Com mander Drake, and the Locust were at Bahia. The Rifleman, 8, screw -steamer, Commander Lieutenant-Com mander Dalton, was running between Monte Video and Buenos Ayres. Lieutenant Carnegie, promoted from tho Cormorant, comes home in the Sharpshooter. The Severn, mail steamer, had called at Pernambuco on the Ist of Oc tober. There was hardly any fever at Rio or in the ships of the squadron. The slave trade had very much dimi nished, no capture having been lately made. The Sharp shooter has taken nine prism since she has been in com mission, having a considerable number of slaves on board. BHIPPINO INTELLIGENCB.
