the Chid Justice thought that the matter must go to the jury. If it was meant 'hat minute parrs of the contract wir e not prus..d, le str.uld set that right; but he thought the su..stan.e was proved. The sialis!snce was that that Jr. li.ndant. were to Awl the plaistifr with proper accomistutle tion as • soesnd•rlass passi tiger ; to give hies proper prss. 1111 ins aceir.llllll is thu scale, of reasonably good quasi', ; sad also had proper eabins. All that was (or the jar, • and lie thought that they right fairly lad for the plaiadit ars that. Mr. rjeant Biles submitted that his learned hired should nuw elect, either to stand upon the contract r proved, or up nt the contract as stattd in the ilccleretioe. The Chief Jug:ice—Yee we,. to supply provisions IC 4:althea to the scale; he thought that was mute nut; roper provisions according to the scale; and cuddy acconissoda ti.in. Alt. - t. 'Out Biles—Whet was ruddy screamed diem The ebirl Justieit—As he moderato:id it it wmi that the loud should be reeked ter the passengers and put ea the table ; it We sat Ler, reasusabl.., and clrealy acc•namo dation. Se rjeas t Byline—Then the declaration contained &bee t 'Ohs% the law would imply under ordinary Mecum. stances. The Chief Justice—There wa. a scs:e, and that might either enlarge or contract the liability. Mr. flerjeaat 1171. s would make • proposition to his learned (mad. Nobody c..uld ray, whichever party suc ceeded, that the ease had sot been fairly and patiently tried. Ile submitted t►at it was not desirable that there should he ten more of these trials, and he therefore offered, before boil al Sneed west to the jury, that this case should settle the others. It there were a verdict 'pilot him here, he off.rtal to give the mate damages in each case as the jury should rye in this. Mr. Chamber.—Mr. Berjeant Bytes ha. not acted fairly I. me in making this proposal publicly. This public pro pesal ought sot to have been :aside; that is my mower ti it. Mr. tterjeant Bytes—This is sot the fint . publie proposal that has been made, foe an application has bees made in full court to conaolidate the actions. if they are all tried, nothing can come of it but cams. Mr. Cisambers thought if his I d friend had eonsi• dried for ► moment, that he would have seen it woo best not to mike ► public proposal. Publicly he stated that be could not at once answer it, (or he had not had time for consideratina. There were reason, his lordship could well under•taad why t►is proposal should not have been made publicly. He was acting for only one client here. He bad not had time to deliberate, sad he could not at this moment Mad himself as to his future conduct. Whilst he was addre.sing the jury, however, proposals could be made to battiest. Mr. Chambers then addressed the jury in reply, and again complained of the predicament in which he had heen placed by the proposal just made. 110 repeated that that peopmal ought not to have been made in: public, and withoui any communication to him, fur he had not had the sligh teat reason to believe that such a proposal would be ensue until they heard it. Without exaggera tion, or "inflammatory language," with using which he had been charged, hi• would now direct their attention' strictly and fairly to the in in which the plaintiff had been treated in this melancholy affair; sod he called it ine laaeholy from the tone and spirit which had been exhi bited on the other side. The directors might be, as bad been said, some of the " hut gentlemen in England," but in this cue he did not know them—no, not even by name. The I d counsel then went at length into the state ments which had been made by the plaintiff and his wits snug, and the answers which the defendants had at. tempted to give to them. lie believed that the case is u an entirely nailefended one, and especia ly considering the nature el the defence. Why, none but interested witnesses had been called to make out the defendants' case, and as to what occurred on board, the servants of the company alone had spoken. It was said that neither the first nor the third class passengers had complained at all; then, why were not some of these first and third elan passengers called to tell the jury so Ile claimed fur the plaintiff compensition for the difference between the second Maurice and the third class price, and damages for the inconvenience and annoyance which he had sustained in consequence of the bad arrangements and filthy state of the vessel, and also .from the pain which he had suffered alter the voyage, for he said that he had bad the tic•doloureux ever since, in consequence of being obliged to sleep on deck. The learned counsel concluded by demanding from the jury fair and ample compensation, but not more than in fainted' and in justice the plaintiff was entitled to. The Chief Justice summed up, and he commenced by observing that it would be nece s s u th eir lfor him to rec II minds to the real points in the cue. and to request them, as lie was sure they would, to consider calmly and dis paasioutely the matter submitted to them. It was satis factory to all parties, and most satisfactory to the adminis tration of justice, that juries should bring their minds to bear on the question submitted to them, without prejudice, and without giving an nudge weight to what was said by enuosel on one side or on the other. They would forgive him for what he said, (or he heard some of them say hear, hear," to some observations made by Mr. Chambers, and although such an expression might he very natu:al to • bystander, for men acting on their oaths, they must forgive him for saying, that ie was highly improper. They mat sot act on any notion they might have formed, or on any thing that they had heard previous to this cause, and he should not have mentioned this had he not overheard one of the geaUemen of the jury talk of the Melbourne as "going round like a top." They must disregard anything that they might have seen in the newspapers, or say popular opinion on the subject of this company. Such things ought to be disregarded, sr great evil would arise, for instance, in a case of popular eacitemeat against any religious body, if such things were regarded no justice c.iuld be done. It had been the boast, and be hoped it would long be, that juries in a court of justice disregarded all matters not proper to be taken into consideration, and acted according to their oaths, on the facts before them. They would do ham the favour to take the law from him, for if he were wrong he should be set right, and then applying their minds to the matters of fact, say whether the plaintiff or the defendants should noosed, and if the plaintiff what should be the amount of damages, estimating those damages temperately and impartially. The first question was, was the contract made, and upon that be should leave it to them to say whe ther the contract was proved in substance. The plaintiff said that "in consideration of the sum of 421.105. you undertook to carry me in the Melbourne from Melbourne to London, and to provide me with • proper second-clam cabin passage, with a proper berth and second-elass cabin requi sites, and to supply me with meat, drink, and provisions. according to the scale ; and these were to be provided according to ruddy arrangements." They could not doubt that the contract was to supply the plaintiff with meat, drink, and provisions, according to the scale, and of the be t quality, and according to caddy arrangements, and there was no doubt that the company were bound so to provide for the plaintiff. And now Par the principal point—had there been • breach of the contract ? First of all it was said, 0 Yon &treed to provide me with • second-clam cabin. and • proper berth, and woad-class cabin regal. sites ." and to this two breaches were alleged—that the defendants had not provided • second-class cabin and berth, and also woad-class cabin requisites. Beyond this it was said, thirdly, that " even if you did put me is • proper place, you did not feed nee properly." The plaintiff said that they dad not supply proper stores at starting, and that what they did supply was bad in quality and short is quantity ; and further, that they kept their deck sad their ship in • filthy and unwholesome state. Mr. Chambers had put forward as one of his leading points, that the defend ante had Dot supplied the plaintiff with a proper berth, and he urged that they did sot do so because they bad shifted the berths, the second-class saloon having been filled up with coal oe the voyage back. Now if that were trz i sly complaint, that they had pat him with the other - class pusengen into a plate that the third-tilers had occupied going out; if nothing else had heionS= . l:: should have mounded the plainti ff , and should we told his learned friend that there was ao complaint whatever against the defendants. He did not, however, go to tie same length that his brother Byles had gone to, that a man had a right to do what he liked with his own, and might pat passengers where he pleased. What the defendants bad to do was to provide passengers with • fitting and proper berth, and if in going out they had put the third class passengers in • plate good enough for second class passengers, they had • right to pot the second class passengers is that plate coming back. The question was not who had used that place before, but the question was, was that • fitting place for the second class passengers. Mr. Chambers raid it was not, and he said that in this ease they ha d so second or third class accommoda tics, fur they had put the seconi and third classes to gether, and that they had no right to put the plaintiff along with the third clam passengers. Mr. Chambers was amiss in baying that the plaintiff had • right to have what the second class passengers had going out; but he was right in saying that the defendants had no right to put the plaintiff in the same plate as the third class passengers. All the witnesses for the plaintiff said that there was not proper accommodation. lie thought Mr. Smith, the plaintiff, was mistaken when he said ~that he ought to have had a cabin for himself, for that was not ordinary second clam accommodation. AU the gentlemen on the other side said the passengers were well off, and they said (which Mr. Chambers laughed at) that the fore part of the ship was the beet. New the habits of people as to travelling by ship were acquired before there were any screws to cause vibra tion and smell in the afterpart of the vessel ; and it was very povish.e that the fore part of the vessel might be the best, althoagri they could not get people to think so. If the third class passengers were not there, it might be said that the cabin was a proper second class place. The second complaint was that there were not proper second class cabin requisites, and he had been considering that matter, and he could not see the evidence which referred to it, for there were proper tables, bunks, Ac. Mr. Chambers suggested that proper water-closets might be • sound class cabin requisite. The Chief Justice—Water-closets on board ship were the meet difficult things to keep in order; and in travelling tiny would see posted up in French and German an injunc lion on persons to we the machine; but it was written in English, for it was taken for granted that an English man would use it. (A laugh.) These closets were con structed upon a combined system of forcing and pumping, and were very likely to get out of order, and it was quite probe's:* that in the present case they had not been pro- perly used. In fact a ship was better without than with them, and if the captain took his advice he would in future lock them up. or knock them down. (A laugh.) The females might have required • place of the kind, but the men had better have gone to the head of the vessel. The plaintiff then said, " You bete not fed me as you ought to have fed me." There um no doubt the company had been very unfortu nate with the Melbourne. As to the provisions, they went ti ]germ. Linklater, • firm of the highest character, and ono of the pertain said he supplied goods of tin wary bet THE EXPRESS, MONDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 5, 1853. quality that could he supplied, and there was en doubt that the defendants intended to do what was rigt t. She went to Lisboa, having got into a icrane in consequence of water gaining in at her port ; and sisty passengers left her there. cly she got to Australis, and abe had a gri &ter quantity of provisions than was wanted, in copse qusuce of hieing lost sixty of her passengers. The plaintiff said, "we fell abort," and the defendants said " that was because we were nearly twice as long going from Melbourne to the Cape as we ought to have been." As to the quality, they would sly whether they believed tee quality to be bad, end this they;must look at in a rea seeable manner. He should be sorry to ship the Court of Aldermen in the best ship going, upon the terms that they were to have all that they considered requisite; fir among them would be what they could not eanect en ship-board, throe ter four kinds of turtle and champagne. (A laugh.) A pima must go on board with reasonable food-teeth, and with an appetite reasonably set. Had the defendants laid in enough stores for a reasonable voyage, and had the voyage been made longer by things over which they had so °nand ? Another breach was that the plaintiff said, " Eves if you did give me a props r berth and proper cabin, and kent me well, yet you did not keep your ship nor your cabin clean, but on the contrary they were in a filthy and unwholesome state." The best witness upon that part of the case was Pollard, and it was strange that he had weer been asks d a question upon that subject. Mr. Serjaant Byles said it was ao omission, but he begged that his lordship would now ask Pollard about it. Pollard was recalled, and states! that he cleaned the ca bin twice a week. The boy cleaned the bunks, although but seldom, for they would not let him do it often. The Chief Justice.—The plainttf complains that he was actually placed as• third elate passenger, and that there were a considerable number of Passengers more than should have occupied the space ; upwards of fifty being where only thirty should have been ; that the dining ta bled were occupied by those who hod no berths, and they slept on them during the whole voyage. They hail heard the evidence upon all these points, and that evidence they would weigh carefully and without bias, and would say what their verdict was. The jury considered the matter in the boa for a few minutes, and thee expressed their wish to retire. The ogicer was accordingly sworn in the mud terms to keep the jury in " mime private and convenient place with out meat, drink, or bring, candle-light excepted." The Foreman hoped his lordship would pard n his pre sumption, but as he had spoken about law reform io the course of this case, it was to be hoped that he would use his istluence to get repealed the barbarous enactment that di rected juries to be locked up without food, so that they might be starved into a verdict. The Chief Justice said he had done something upon the matter. lie was the bead of the Law Reform Commie/ion, and they had recommended to her Majesty that the matter spoken of should be altered, and a bill had been prepared open the subject. The Foreman—The practice was unworthy of the coun try at this time of day. Th , Chief Justice—Ton must allow some time for con sideration of the subject. The Foreman—Yes, bet there is no necessity to starve us into a verdict in the meantime. The jury then retired. Mr. Serif- Bytes said, that in the absence of the jury he would repeat the offer which he had made. He would take his chance of what the verdict might be in this case, and would agree that the same verdict should be entered in each of the other eases. If there were damages, the plain tiffs would get them sooner by this arrangement, and every body would gain but the lawyers. The Chief Justice—There were two cases in which man and wife sued, Mr. Sesjeant Byles—There should have been double da mages. The woman should be treated as one of the other Na. The Chief Juatice—Mr. Chambers, you can't object to that. Mr. Chambers—l ant sorry to say that, not being in the meret of the jury boa, I am not at liberty to accept it. Mr. Serjesnt Byles—l shall advise my clients immedi ately to take out a summons to try the other cases by special juries. Mr. Chambers—That is a new view—that is a mere clap- trap. The Chief Justice—Oh, no, there is a, clap-trap; thejury have gone. Mr. Chambers—lt is clap-trap for the public, my lord. Mr. Serjeant Byles—They have decided long ago, and in your favour. The jury having been absent for about a quarter of an hour, now came into court, and found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 702 Err. Serino% Bytes applied for a stay of execution. The Chief Jostle* did not think that the damages were at all excessive, and, therefore, he should not stay execution. The other actions ought to be settled on the same terms. Mr Sergeant Byles objected to that. Mr. Chambers thought i: best not to say anything about the matter in public. The Chief Justice suggested that he might be allows.: to say what the damages should be in each case. Mr. Chambers—Certainly. Mr. Suit. Byles also assented that the whole eleven actions should be settled in this way. The Chief Justice said be should decide the matter at once. The cases were all alike except two, and in those two man and wife were plaintiffs. In each of the ordinary eases the verdict would be for 501. ; and as to the married couples, they had had better sleeping accommodation than the other passengers, so the amount of damages would not be double, but would be 70/. for man and wife. In the seven causes which were entered on the cause list the jury were then sworn, and returned verdicts in ac cordance with this decision, viz. Morgan and wits 702, Dighton 501 , Westbrook 50/., %Vheatley and wife 701., Lax 502, Page 502, Evans SOI. Mr. Serjt. Byles said the verdicts in the whole eleven actions would amount to 6101., considerably more than the company had received for the passage money of these per sons; so that they had carried them safely 12,000 miles for nothing, and had given them money besides. COURT OF EXCHEQUER-SATURDAY. SITTIPOII AT PM PATTI AT WEITMINTTA It. - AMIE TLC GOLD CIIIZT LUPIN AND !TWAT. J1:111111. MOORWOODC. TCPFER.-rATENT CASE. Tbts was an action for the alleged infringement of a patent for coating iron articles with zinc. It appeared that by the old process the mode of immersing the iron in the molten sine was very imperfect, a portion of the article passing only through the flux and not receiving the necessary coating of zinc. The plaintiff's invention con , i,ted chiefly in the use of a bar and rollers, the effect of the use of either of which was to submerge the whole of the iron sheet or other article in the liquid sine, and this method, it was alleged, the de fendant had elan adopted. The case lasted the whole of the day, but the details were of no public interest. hid. F. Thesiger, Sir F. Kelly, Mr. Orove, and Mr. Jones appeared for the plainti ff ; and the Attorney-0e 1, Mr. Bramwell, and Mr. Willes for the defendant. ' The nue, at the rising of the court, was adjourned until Monday. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT.-SATIIIDAT. IX RI 101111 T K. WAIIIIII. , Tai ACTRItaII, This ineolveat, the husband of Mrs. Warner, the settees, applied under the Protection Act. Mr. Ernest Reed opposed for Mr. Jones, a house decorator, sad Mr. Cooke supported. The case es it proceeded created a good deal of sympathy, end the conclusion was very affecting. The complaint was that a debt had bean either contracted by false pretences or without reasonable expectations of payment with Mr. Jones. It appeared that in August, 1851, Mr. Jones was employed to repair the house in Euston-place. New-road, where the insolvent had resided for years. The bill was 761., and be was to be paid at Christmas. In that year Mrs. Warner went to America, where the was suacessfal, and Mr. W went to her on account of her illness. In 1852 she returned to England to have • painful operation performed. She afterwards returned to America, and in consequence of her state of health came home in June last, and was now lying in a very dange rous state. The in solvent in alluding to her state said ' she is dying." His debts were about 1,0001., and were balances of account, having dealt with years with the same tradesmen. His furniture bad been valued by the court, and Mr. Phelps had paid 1471. into court for the creditors, in order to save the furniture for the family. The earnings of Mrs. Warner were in 18.31 9001., and in 1852 5001., and is the early part of this year 2301., arising from her state of health. His expectation to pay his creditors were from his wire's in come. A Ned bad been raised for Mrs. Warner and her children. Her Majesty, Miss Burdett Courts, Mr. 31acready and others had subscribed to the fund. Mr. Cooke said he believed it was necessary that Mrs. Warner should have carriage ailing. The insolvent said it was. Mr. Coots—And it The insolvent said her Majesty. In answer to further questions, he said he fully expected, when he employed Mr. Jones and contracted his other debts, that he should have paid them out of Mrs. Warner's earnings. Mr. Reed submitted that the debt with Mr. Jones had been contracted without reasonable expectations of pay ment, and that it was not a case, notwithstanding the sym pathy which had been created, for the court to grant pro- tection. iiii7booke. in his reply, was MI, etcd to tears. The insol vent had every expectation that by his wife's exertions he should have paid all his debts, and but for her illness he would have done so. TM learned counsel, in alluding to her sad condition at the present time, was unable to pro ceed with his appeal. Twice he essayed to go on, but his sensibility overcame his utterance, and he sat (loon. There was scarcely a person in court unmoved by the cane which presented itself. Mr. Commissioner Phillips relieved the learned counsel byiiiialite seed not further distress pelf, asiiresseded to express his opinion on the case. It was a very painful ease for Mrs. Warner, highly distinguished in kw Proles sion, to be obliged through her husband to appeal to the court, for it was clear that but for her illness there would have been no occasion , for the pietent application. The evidence showed how greatly she was respected. Her Majesty had subscribed to her relief and provided her with a carriage, and Miss Burdett Coutts had rendered her assistance—a lady whose name was to be found in every charity, and against her wish he had no doubt it wa., that such things were known. There was not the least pretence for false pretences, and the only point relied upon was that there were no reasonable expectations of payment. He had gone through the schedule and found no extravagant debts. How could be then say, with Mrs. Warner's income, had Providence continued her health, that the debts would not hare been paid, or why should he embitter her dying hours by refusing protection. A day would be aimed thirster* for the WA oast. Mr. Cooke remiuded the 147/. in court. that there was Ilis honour &Med that that circumstance showed Mr. Warner's anxiety (or his creditors. A day was named in January for the final order, and the protection renewed. THE POLICE COURTS. MANSION-HOUSE. Char:otle Sasslh was brought before the L,rd klayor upon suspicion of having robbed Thomas Spence, a I rtolk man, who Lad come up to town far the purpose of paying for his passage to Australia, of 60 sovereings and a Norfolk bank-note for 51. The complainant said—l brought the bag of sovereigns, and the U. note, which I had gathered together after pars of toil as a labourer, to town. I went out on the evening of the 2S h of November, and met the prisoner, who aimed me to treat her, and I could not refuse, but visited several public-houses and other kinds of houses, in which we drank porter and ale, and gin, together. I was not tipsy, neither was she; but soon after we parted, upon putting my hand in my pocket, I missed all my money, and I informed the police of the disaster, and had her taken into custody. The Lord Mayor, who had on a previous day remanded the prisoner, in order that inquiries might be made after the money, asked the complainant how he had become possessed of so much money in the humble avocation of a labourer ? The complainant said, he bad collected it by living most economically during the whole time he was employed. He had been is London before, and now be should be obliged to go back to work for the rest of life at the old trade, instead of taking the chance of prosperity, as he in tended, in the gold fields of Australia. The prisoner admitted that she had been drinking in a variety of public.houses with the prosecutor; but shu de clared that he had been very " far gone in lush," and that he had been practising miztures of ale, rum, gin, beer, cloves, and brandy, with several other females after she hail le ft him. The policeman said he had learned that the account just given by the prisoner was correct, and that the unfortunate prosecutor wes not la attendance. The prisoner was then discharged. The Lord Mayor said he bad received a letter, dated Custom•hounc, Nov. 30, and enclosing one of a number of circulars that had been addressed to the junior members of that establishment. The circular, which appeared to be written by a female, wu as follows "Beaumont-street, Weymouth street, Portland-place. " Sir—l beg to inform you I lend various sums of money to gentlemen holding government appointments. Any time I sball be happy to oblige you or any of your friends; yen may rely on secrecy. A letter addressed to me will meet wits prompt attentiou, or I can be seen personally any evening after 7 o'clock." Some of these circulars were accompanied with the inti- motion that personal acceptances would be taken and' renewed if required. The Lord Mayor said be was sure of the truth of the complaint, and was personally acquainted with the gentleman who hail written it. He was perfectly aware that a disgraceful system was carried on, by which great commercial plunder was set going, and he would feel proud of opportunities to punish the perpetrators. Mr. C. F. Guttard, who figured in the shop of Mr. Doniter a few days since, was brought up from Newgate, and discharged, upon his friends undertaking to place him under restraint. BOW-STREET. THE LEIILK Waal FLED. Thomas William l'arkes, John Nichelks, Robert Waters, James Williams, Wawa Richardson, Thomas Bond Loader, and Archibald Douglas, were summoned as the alleged trustees and representatives of the Leman Estate Fuol. to answer the charge of having conspired to commit the °Renee of maintenance and champerty. Mr. Bodkio, with Mr. Reynolds, the Treasury Solicitor, conducted the case on the part of the Crowu ; and Mr. Parry, the barrister, attended for the first live defendants. It wu stated that Williams was an inmate of White croustreet prison, and therefore could not attend; and Mr. Ellerby, a solicitor, who appeared for Captaia Douglas, who had not been in London fur some time past, and hainever received the summons in consequence. His was about to stets that Captain Douglas had long ceased to be connected with the society, but Mr. Henry advised him to defer his statement for the present. Mr. Bodkin then proceeded to address the magistrates in support of the summonses ; upon which the learned counsel for the defendants, Mr. Parry, suggested that the consent of all parties should be given to the removal of the question which was purely a legal one, ,for discussion in one of the superior courts. Mr. Henry thought that this question could not be enter tained, as Mr. Parry did not represent all the defendants. Mr. Bodkin then proceeded to detail the proceedings of the society, which are already familiar to the public, and called several witnesses in support of has statements. George Edward Stanley, law writer, of Percy-street, stated that he had been employed by the authorities of the Home-office to make inquiries at the office of the Leman Estate Fond. Went on the 10th of September to 3, Bridge street, Westminster, and saw Mr. Waters, the secretary. Asked him for a prospectus, which he received, and re quested to look at the pedigree and the deed, empowering the trustees of the society to act as such. Mr. Waters showed him the deed, which was signed " Edward Leman," but was not stamped. There were the signatures of two attesting wit nesses, Waters being one, and "Thomas Ward" the other,' both being chscrilsed u of 3, Bridge-street. Witness asked to examine the deed, but .Waters said he could not part with it, although he consented to lend an abstract of it, which witness took away with him. Witness asked what was the amount of funds in the hands of the Accountant. General, and he replied "about half a million," and he added that the clerks would furnish him with any number of the shares or certificate~ that he might re quire. Witness called at the office again on the 13th, and returned the abstract to Waters, asking bins on that occa sion what the property consisted of. He replied, that some of the property was situated in Goodman's field., and they were about to attach that at once, and that their property at Warboys was being surveyed ; that they were going to present a petition to the Court of Chancery, so that it might come on the first thing alter Hilary term. Witness asked if the half million in the hands of the Accountant• General had accumulated in the cause of Cassamajor and Strode, and he replied, " Yes." Witness then purchased a 10s. certi ficate, a printed form setting forth the owner's share in the estates, and bearing the signature of the trustees. On the ' , cession of one of hie visits to the office, he saw Mr. Nicholles, an elderly gentleman in black-silk stockings, and he stated that he could sell witness as many shares as he wanted. Witness called again, after seeing an advertise ment in the newspapers, about a fortnight ago, and asked what it meant. as it announced an intended distribution of the fund, in February next, and purported to negative some accusations which had been made through the Trade Protection Society, by some malicious persons. Waters told him, that a distribution would really take place at the time announced of the fund raised by the sale of the property in Goodman's fields. He added, that they should soon obtain more, and should be in a position, before then, to establish their c'aim to the entire fund in the hands of the Accountant-General. Richard Hudden, accountant, of Kingsland road, said that he had purchased twelve of the certificate., having applied for the first of them through the Post-office. Saw Mr. Waters afterwards at the (Ace in Bridge-street, where he purchased the remainder. He had a conversation with Mr. Waters in the boardroom, who told him that there would be a distribution at Christmas of about .51. a share. Witness inquired if there were any other claimants to the property besides the one named in the prospectus (Sir E. Leman), and he said there were some, but they had been paid, or promised something, "to keep quiet." Witnees asked who Sir E. Leman was, and Waters replied, that he lived at Nottingham, and was a poor man ; and that he was to retain a portion of the certificates for surrendering his interest in the property in question. Witness purchased three of the shares at that time, giving 10s. each for them. Saw Mr. Parkes there. Jonathan Wycher, sergeant of the detective police, said he had been instructed to inquire into the characters of the persons engaged in the scheme, and went to the house of Mr. Nicholles, one of the trustees, on the 14th of August last, without stating who he was. lie pointed out the name of Mr. Nicholles upon the prospectus, and asked him if many of the certificates had been sold? Ile replied, " Yes, to the amount of some thousands of pounds." Witness asked him the name of the banker where the account was kept, and he said, " Oh, that is private." On the Itith of Sep tember he saw Mr. Loader, at 35, Princes -street, Stamford street, having previously applied for him at the • blies. named in the prospectus, 14, New Church-street, Mait s hill, where he could net find him. Witness said he had called to make inquiries about the Leman Estate Fund. Ile said, " Before I answer any questions, what is your ino , tive ?" Witnessinformed him he was a police-officer, and had been desired to do so, as his (Loader's) name was own in the prospectus as a trustee. lie said, " Yes." Witness asked him where the funds were kept, and he said, " It was originally at the British Bank, but 1 have quarrelled with the trustees, and don't know now." Witness called at Williams's, whom he found at N 0.82, Upper Stamford. street. Williams admitted that he was one of the trustees. Ile was not present now, being a primmer, for debt, in Whitecrowstreet prison. On Saturday last, wit ness served the summons on Richardson personally, at the office in Bridge street. Ile admitted that be was one of the trustees. IVituess had tried previously to find Richardson at Court-lodge, Wantliaz, Surrey, without success, as ho was not known there. Witness had seen the tther trustees and Parkes ping in and out the •fflce in Bridge-street, and when he served Waters with the summons he said, " Let me go in and speak to the manager ;" who proved to be Parkes. of the Solicitor's•office, Treasury, said that these proceedings were taken by direction of th.. Home•office, and praluced an office copy of the decree in the cause of Cassamajor and Strode, dated 17th August, 1810, having procured it from the Report office ut Vac Court of Chancery. Mr. John Jackson, solicitor, of 12, Essex-street, strand, solicitor for defendants in the cause of Cassamajor and Strode, stated that it referred to funds which conic from estates originally belonging to the Leman family. The decree produced was made to carry out the will of William Strode, dated 1803, which it established as genuine, and it directed the due performance of the trusts, one of which was the sole of several estates in Huntingdon, Hertford ' shire, Middlcses, and other counties, which were devised by Strode's will to the descendants of John Leman. It in eluded property at Wuboys, but he did not recollect any at Whitechapel and the Docks, nor at Uoodman's•ti,lds. A subsequent order in the same suit divided the whole of the property produced by the sale of estates, amounting to about 400,0001. or 500,0001., into six portions, only three of which now resins in court, in consequence of their being trusts (for children) not yet performed. From the time of that decree all the parties have received the dividend+ due to them. There is no accumulating or other fund whatever in the Accountan:-General's bands in connexion with the estate., end the decree has never been disputed. There has never been a transfer, or order for a transfer, of any portion of the funds to the reduction of the national debt, untr has there been any recovery of any portion of the property re ferred to in the suit sines the detree of 1810. This being the case for the crown, Mr. Parry reserved the defence of his clients for the trial. They were in a condition to prove that the claims which they bad set up were not fabulous ; and, as for the offence of champerty, it was well known that great estates had been again and again recovered by the instrumentality of such agencies as those employed, for example, in the well•kaowa cause of the Baron de Bode. He would un dertake to say that there was scarcely an attorney in Eng. land that had not committed the offence of champerty atone time or (Ater in his professional career. Mr. !Leary directed each of the defendants to find two sure ties of eul. each, besides their individual recognizance' in 801., to answer the charge at the Old B►iley Sessions. A long discussion then ifollowed upon the stability and reaper ability of the persona who attended as sureties for the respective parties, but eventually, all the defendants were liberated on bail, except Waters. Mr. &Akin withdrew the charge against Douglas, who had adver,ised his withdrawal from the trusteeship. WORSHIP-STREET. 11 - iMinns Goggan, an athletic man, was charged with a , brutal and aggravated assault upon • respectable young woman, named Fanny Abrahams, residing with her parents in Spitalfields. The complainant, who exhibited marks of severe recent ill-usage, stated that at about 8 o'clock on the previous evening, while passing through the Broadway, White chapel, her attention was attracted to the Prisoner, who was scandalously misconducting himself towards a decent looking young woman, whom he ultimately struck • violent blow on the lace, in consequence of her indignant refusal to submit to his overtures. Witness immediately interfered for the protection of the girl, and on remonstrating with him upon his unmanly conduct, the prisoner, after assailing her with the Coarsest vituperation, declared, with an oath, that he would serve her in a similar manner, and instantly dealt her a terrible blow in the eye which felled her to the ground. She was completely stunn e d from the effects of the blow, and before she had time to recover her feet, the prisoner grasped hold of the hair of her head, and tureibly dragged her along the gutter at the aide of the street fur a distance of at least a dozen yards. The prisoner then flung her heavily into the road, and after kicking her in a savage manner, planted his feet upon her right arm, and trampled upon her with all his weight. She was at length rescued from further ill-treatment by several persons who were attracted by her screams, and alter a strenuous resistance the prisoner was overpowered and given into custody. (At the conclusion of her evidence the complainant un covered her injured atm, which was shockingly bruised, and also exhibited the dress she hail on at the time, which was encrusted all over with mud, and also reduced to com plete tenets.) Mr. John Barnett, a cigar manufacturer in Whiteehapel, stated that on hearing the cries of "Murder" from the last witness, he hastened to the spot, where he found the pri. soner dragginCher along the gutter by the hair of her head, which was twisted round his fingers. Witness instantly seized him by the collar, and was endeavouring to extricate the poor woman from his clutch when the prisoner struck him a heavy blow on the eye, which compelled him to relinquish his bold, and sent him staggering back al paces. On recovering from the effect of the blow, witness again grappled with him, and managed to fling him on his Inez, where he was held down by main force until the arrival of • policeman, when he was given into custot.y. In his defence the prisoner said that he had been drinking freely, but distinctly recollected that the complainant attacked him in the first instance. Mr. Hammitt sentenced him to aix months' imprison ment, with hard labour. THE FRENCH GOVERNMENT AND THE ELECnue TELEGRAPH A correspondent specially interested in telegraphic machinery says: " It was some time since a pleasing duty to call public attention to the progressive liberality which had begun to ch►racterise the French government, in respect to telegra phic intercourse between the two countries. The measures at that time adopted mainly consisted in the establishment of additional offices, and the consequent increase in the number and efficiency of the telegraph bureaux. The French government has now assisted in a still further and much greater improvement. The desirability of a direct service wits, the English instrument, between the two chief c apitals of Europe,had long been acknowledged, but the im pediments existing in the difference of the French and English systems of signalling were almost insurmountable obstacles, to so beneficial an alteration. Thanks, however, to the liberal policy of the French, these objections have been overcome, and a direct through service worked by English I instruments upon wires specially devoted to the companies by the French government has j sat been established be tween the two capitals. Signals transmitted from the central offices of the Submarine and European Telegraph Companies, Cornhill, and ltegent•circus, Piccadilly, appear directly upon the dial of the instrument at Paris, the delay of intermediaries is avoided, and the liability to error very much diminished from the simplification of the transmitting media. Coupled with these direct advantages, collateral facilities have been also obtained which very much expedite business with other parts of France and Italy, and with Germany gene- rally. A reduction in the charges of the Submarine and European Companies has also been effected. Up to the present time each numeral counted as a word ; the com panies have now established the system of counting a mass of five numerals u only one word. This will make an enormous difference in all despatches contain numbers where, for instance, the figures 10,38.5 under the old system counted as five words, while the new method of counting will estimate them as only one wind. The French govern ment has not, however, stood alone in its progressive tele graphic reforms. The gove•nment of Belgium has also acceded to a direct service with English instruments between London and Brussels, and in like manner signals sent from Cornhill appear on the dial of the instrument at Brussels without the interference or assist ance of intermediate stations. The beneficial effects of these arrangements have bees proved by the rapidity with which messages to and from London and Paris, Brussels, Berlin, Vienna, Bcc., have lately reached their destinations. Messages from Vienna and other distant parts under two hours have become common, and it is hoped that come fresh arrangements even now in contemplation will afford the public still greater reason to congratulate itself not only on the modernised ideas of foreign governments, but also on the results which such ideas promise yet to bring forth." A FRENCH STE.4MER LW DISTRESS. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's fine vessel Douro, from Constantinople, put into Plymouth on Saturday evening, in consequence of having in tow a Preach steamer, which she bad picked up in the Bay of Biscay on the lst inst. The vessel in question was the Paris, paddle-wheel steam packet, bound from Havre to Marseilles, and her captain stated that her boilers were burnt and collapsed, and that she was unnavigable. An engineer sent on board from the Douro contrived to get up steam in the starboard boilers, and so assisted in the propul sion of the vessel. Captain Russell came on shore and ►anded the mails and despatches, and having taken the necessary steps with respect to his convoy, he left in the Douro at about ono on Sunday morning for Southampton. THE FRENCH PRESS AND THE BOURSE. Our Paris correspondent writes: There has been • revolution in the office of the Patric. Tho following very extraordinary announcement, signed by the proprietor, ap pears at the head of its columns to-da, : "According to information which has reached us, the public has for some time past observed with displeasure the too frequent presence at the Bourse of several persons con nected with this journal. In this the public is right. We think with the public that a journal cannot deserve con fidence unless it avoids incurring suspicions of any kind. So far as we ourselves are personally conctincd, we feel it right to declare, what for the rest the public knows already, that we never indulged in any specu lation at the Bonne. But this is not enough. We consider it essential that the same thou d be sail with regard to every person under our orders. For these reasons we have thought fit to make some change in the staff of our journal, and the public may he assured that in case of need the most vigorous measures will be taken to the mail that no grounds for mistrust may remain with respect to news promulg.ited by the Patric.—DELAIIAIME, Deputy fer the Somme, Proprietor of the Pattie." This is a very serious refleetion upon the dismissed writers in the Pattie, one of whom, M. Xavier Eyma, having an inkling of what was coming, wrote to all the papers two or three days since that he bad no longer any connexion with the journal, and was extremely desirous for " private reasons" that the announcement of his resignation should appear in print. One now sees the reason for this anxiety, which was an enigma at the time. I am told seriously that M. Delamarre professes to have learnt the fact of his writers frequenting the Bourse from the " turning tables !" TOLERATION IN PIEDMONT.—Io Piedmont, which ten years ago was, in respect of religious ►iberty. something worse than the Tuscany of to-day, en leraelite College was opened at Aequi on the Zith ult., in the presence of the In tendant of the province, the syndic of the town, the rector and professors of the Christian College, and all the Israelite population of the town. This institution has been founded by a rich Israelite, M. Levi Samuel, who, having no family, bequeathed his whole fortune to trustees for that purpose. The public were addressed In appropriate speeches by the Rabbi, the !Lector of the Christian College, and the Inten dant of the province. MARKETS. -4. - COTTON.—favittuooL, 3.—The market cluved heavily, without ch.inge from currency of Fria3y. 'lhe sales amounted to 6,000 biles, and included 4AI nate. and Maranhams, 6.1. to 7 Id. ; 700 Egynti.lm.. 5... to bd. ; and 600 Surat, at 24d to 20. per lb. Imported since IThursday 10,000 bales. M•NC11187 IR, DEC. 3.—We have to report a sluggish market, with the bias of prices generally in favour of buyers. There ■re some exceptions, however, both in yarn and cloth, though few. Buyers for India have recently placed some fair orders in light 40-inch shillings and jac• coneta suitable to the Calcutta market, and 40's mule yarn, which has been scarce for some weeks pa►t, continue' to command a market fully equal to the supply, at full rates. The home trade houses are lower in stocks than they have been for some time, but they continuo to purchase un a re stricted scale, and dull as this branch of our trade usually is at this season of the year, it is a long time since business was on so small a scale. Means. Du ray and Co. estimate the contraction of supply through the strikes and system of short time adopted, to be equal to 357,500 pieces of calico of 374 yards each per week, independent of the decrease of spinning' for export. They estimate the reduction of both to be equal to 10,000 bags of cotton per week, whilst the Consumption at the busiest period has never gone beyond about 36,000 bags; yet with this extraordinary contraction of supply trom the mills, we have not a demand to carry off stocks, or indeed to keep them free of further accumula tion. WOOLLEN CLOTIL—LEEDS, Dec. 3.—We have had a very thick and foggy day iu Leeds. Considering this, and the advanced period of the year, we think the business done to- day, although not Liege, has been such as to justify the report of a " fair market " for the season. The stock of cloth in the hall remains without any material altera tion; it consequently follows, that about the fume quan tity as is regularly brought into the market meets with purchasers. Prices are without any change since our lan report. HARDWARE.—BIRMINOLIAM. Dec. 3.—Trade here re mains in the same flourishing condition as at the date of our last report; slight difficulties have been caused in parti cular branches in consequence of the still increasing price of metals and the impesvibility of obtaining either copper or tin in other than small quantities; trade has been however, very slightly checked, if indeed it has at all, and reports from all the leading manufacturers and merchanto are con current on the subject of the healthy condition of trade generally and its cheering prospects. CORN.—CASIBRIDOE, DEC. 3.—Our market to-day was slow but unaltered in price for wheat. Barley in large sup ply and from 3s. to 4s. cheaper. Beans and Peas quite as dear. Oats cheaper. Wheat, red, 70s. to 765. per qr. ; white, 745. to SOs. Barley, 345. to 445. Beans, new, 445. to 465.; old, 545. to 565. Peas, 50s. to 52.. Oats, 245. to 28s. CANTERBURY, DEC. 3.—We had a good supply but a very dull sale. Wheat, brown, old, 725. per qr. ; new, 65e. to 735.; new white, 744. to 78s. Barley, 345. to 435. Oats, 265. to 30s. Beans, old, 50s. to 515.; new, 40s. to 41.5. Peas, 445. CARLT6LII, Dtc.3.—We bad an limited supply o f w h ea t at our market this morning, which met with a sluw sale at a reduction of Is. 6d. per bushel. With a large supply of barley prices were Is. lower. Oats maintained last week's setts, the supply being small. Wheat, white, new, 27.. to 301. ; old, 295. to 31s. Wheat, red, new, 26.. to 28s. ; old, 28, to 301. Barley, new and old, 14.. to 13.. 3d. Oats, potato, old, lls. 6d. to 125.; new, 9s. 6d. to 10s. Gd. ; corn. moo, new, 8.. 6d. to 9s. 6d. Flour per stone, 2s. Bd. to 3s. Oatmeal, 2a. 2d. to 2s. 4d. Ryemeal, Is. IOJ. Barley meal, Is. Bd. GUILDFORD, Dre. 3.—A liberal supply of wheat; trade was very dull, hut there was more inclination to business at any reduction on previous rates, which in many cases was complied witk to the extent of Is. to 25. per qr. Wheat, Us. to Sl5. Barley, 31s. to 41s. Peas, 475. to 50s. Beans, 48s. to 52a. GLIM:ESTER, DEC 3.—There was a large electioneering attendance at our market to-day, but very little business transacted. The supply of English not large, but farmer. were,willing to accept Is. less per qr., and holders of foreign were sellers at the same decline. There was very little inquiry for malting barley, and lower prices would have been readily taken. The demand fur oats very li m it e d. Beans and Indian corn support late quotations. Imports of the week ending Dec. 3: Wheat, 810 qrs. ; barley, 1,332 ; oats, 3,407. HEWEFOILD, DEC. 3.—The supply of wheat not large trade heavy at last week's prices. Barley in large supply and to make sales fully Is 6d. per qr. was submitted to. Oats, peas, and beans made last week's rates. Wheat, 40s. to .51s. per load. Barley, 36.. to 475. per qr. Oats, 24 5 . to 325. Peas, 28s. to 3.55. per load. Beans, 28.. to 38.. Rye, 23e. to 2,55. NEWCASTLE-rPDX-TYNE, DEC. 3. The weather this has been of a variable character, and of a much milder type than previously. Last night we had a alight frost, a continuance of which is very desirable. The trade during the present week has presented the same aspect as the other large consuming marts in the kingdom, dullaors and listless ness on the part of buyers being their characteristics ; still, however, from our great wants being so apparent, no dispo sition has been manifested by holders to give way to a senseless panic, but they have preferred taking their stocks to warehouse rather than make any undue or unreason able concession. The extent of the decline submitted to on wheat and flour, therefore, has not exceeded Is. per yr and per sack respectively. Malting barley has been generally offered at a further reduction of Is. per qr., without bring• ing forward buyers of any moment. In other articles little variation has occurred. At our market this morning we had a moderate show of wheat from the growers, the condition of which was but very indifferent, the great 'bulk of the samples being totally ungrindable, independent of many lots being thoroughly unsound ; this circumstance, combined with the thinness of factors, imparted a more healthy tone to the trade, and the business done was nearly up to the rates of this day se'nnight. For the hest new Norfelk red 76e. tolls. was acquired, weighing fins., the natural weight being 6111bs. to 621bs. per bushel. In foreign few transactions transpired, arising more from the indifference of sellers than any ether cause ; 78s. may be deemed an extreme quotation for fine old mixed Dant:tic, and 765. for choice new Stettin and Uckermarcke ; other sorts selling in proportion. For flour we experienced a slow inquiry, and, the arrivals within the last three weeks being in excess of our requirements, a 'onion has been landed, as factors could not see the propriety of forcing sales, whilst the value of wheat had not altered materially in the south. Of rye our market has been cleared for ship ment to Bremen, one fine parcel having realised Cif., weighing 68Ibs. per bushel, being fully 21. higher than our consumers would have given. Malting barley must be again written Is. per qr. cheaper, with, however, less disposition to sell than heretofore. Our farmers' deliveries continue large, which tor the moment interfere with the sale of Norfolk and Suffolk qualities ; 38s. to 40s. may be considered the top prices for our own growth weighing 5611 m. to 571bs. per bushel, whereas the ill-conditioned and unsound sold at 325. to 365. per qr. Malt not so much inquired for. In beans and peas little stirring. With oats we were fairly supplied, chi, fly of the new crop, and such were difficult of disposal at a decline of Is. Other sorts unaltered. The arrivals this week are: —Wheat, coastwise, 1,701 qrs. • foreign, 3,770. Rye, coast wise, 30. Barley, coastwise, 400. Oats, coastwise, 100. Flour, 1,130 sacks. NORWICH, Dsc. 3.—This day our market was well sup plied with wheat by both farmers and merchants, who showed more disposition to realise than of late ; and a good amount of business was done at 2s. per qr. reduction from the prices of last week ; condition (except a few very bait parcels) better than of late, the yield is still spoken of by parties competent to judge, to be one-sixth below an aye ' rage. Flour trade f.o.b. dull at late prices. The late calm weather has slackened the power so much that little millers and dealers are purchasers at full prices. Barley trade dull, and prices 21. per quarter less than last week, which makes 6a. per qr. lower in a month ; large quantity on offer; demand good at the reduction. Beans were in somewhat hettersupply, and prices firm, with no change ' • not much business transacted. Oats were i n g o o d demand, and full prices were paid ; prime lots commanded :365. per qr. Wheat, white, 78s. to 80s. per qr. ; red, 68s. to 725. Barley, malting, 365. to 404.; grinding, Hs. to 325. Beans, old, 625, to 645. ; new, 525. to 56a. Peas, 455. to 495. Oats, ;ios. to 365. Fine household flour, f.0.b., 535. per sack of 2801bs. gross, purchasers claiming suck and ono month's credit. PETEREOROVOII, DEC. 3.—A good supply of grain here to-day. Wheat was 21. to 39. per qr. lower ; barley, Is. to 29. ; oats, la. • and beans, 29. lin qr. lower than last week. 661bs. red wheat made 645. to 68s. per qr.; best malting barley, 409. to 425. ; grinding ditto, albs. to 54Ibs. per bushel, ale. per v. New oats, 13d. to 14d. per stone. Old beans, 565. to as. per qr. • . . READING, Dec. 3.—We had rather more wheat to-day than last week, most of which came had to hand. The millers shy in purchasing ; trade very languid, and, with the exception of a prime parcel or two, a tendency down wards. Barley generally must ba quoted ls., and, in some instances, 2s. lower. A large supply of oats, and some what cheaper; as were also beans, both old aril new. Wisuscm, DEc.3.—The supply of grain of all kinds is on a liberal scale to•day. Wheat (generally speaking) much in want of condition, consequently the trade is very dull, and '2s. to 3s. per qr. lower. Oats and beans, each cheaper—the farmer Gd., and the latter ls. per qr. Peas very dull, and ls. to 2s. lower. Prices to the growers : Wheat, old, 6Ss. to Us. per qr.; new, 545. to 745. Oats, 13d. to 14d. per stone. Beans, 4Gs. to 555. per qr. WORCESTEIC, DEC. 3.—At our market today there was a much less supply of wheat from the farmers; yet, on the sales made, a reduction of Is. to 21. per qr. was submitted to. Barley 2s. per lower. Oats gave way 6d. to Is. per qr., except the finest qualities. Beans and peas plentiful, l and 24. per qr. cheaper. Ytralt, Dec. 3 —We have had a small show of wheat at out market to-day, which met a slow sale, at a reduction of Is. per p. Barley in fair supply, and 2s. per qr. lower. Oats id. per atom-, and beam Is. per qr. lower. The fol lowing are the present prices of grain at our market this day:—Wheat, white, 761. to 78s. per v. imperial ; red, 725. to 745.; barley, malting, 375. to 395.; grinding, I to 3Cs.; malt, 665. to 681. Oats, 13d. to 131 d. per stone of 14Ibs. ; flour, 58s. to 60s. per sack of 2801bs. KtIIIivALDT, Dec. 3.—The weather during the week has been, upon the whole, favourable to outdoor field ope rations, but raw and foggy, and consequently alf,cting the condition of any grain thrashing, and yet it seems to indi cate frost. At our country markets, this week, we had more grain offering than of late, and the condition being 1 i h t u rl t ly m l id s. d p li e n r g ql nc il ' er ' e l , t ' :,.. l i.l 'e • a is t t, we ha ul "'I 0.-77--......ire:i''edl larger.;orprpeliresgefr. barley and oats, much of them out of condition, and show.

WATERFORD, DEC. 3.—We have no arrivals to report from abroad this week, and coastwise only 300 qrs. wheat, with 100 barrels flour. Of home-grown grain the supplies show a considerable falling off ise to quantity, and a further deterioration of condition, in consequence of the continued damp weather. At to-day's market we had again but a small show of samples. The general runs of wheat could only ne sold at an abatement of Is. to 2 f s a . ll per n b t r e l s .. A Forfew dry samples brought nearly the high es t p r i ces o f last Satur day. Barley, of which there was not an y i u goo d order, moved off very slowly, at a decline of Gd. to Is. p e r barrel; and th e ffer 1 bulk of the oats on o were, with difficulty, dispos e d o f at a reduction of Is. to Is. lid. per barrel, while all vreil-emt dkiteieuignbedwpbaeractelasbmdeltbadniaauctciovrenintreeirey at bas been a fair de. mand ; the latter at extreme pricer, but the former at a trifling reduction.
