THE EXPRESS, MONDAY EVENING, APRIL 14, 1851. IRELAND. Drning, APRIL 12. ANOTHER "INTENDED NUN." In the Irish Court of Queen's Bench on Tuesday next, or as early as possible after the opening of term on that day, a matter will, I understand, be brought before the public which will present a pa rallel, on a humble scale, to the famous Talbot case. In the present instance the case will come before the court in the shape of a motion for a writ of ;Wheat: j corpus to remove a young lady from a convent in the west of Ireland and restore her to the care of her father, whose position, as proprietor and editor of one of the most thoroughgoing - Roman catholic news papers in the country, will not be the least remarkable feature in the affair. The young lady has, I believe, been residing in the convent for the last year, with the intention of becoming a nun, and her father, who is strongly opposed to her adoption of that mode of life, has made frequent but fruitless efforts to have her restored to his roof. His applications to the Roman catholic prelate of the locality to inter fere have been all in vain ; and his offer to send back the girl to the convent at the end of a year, if she were allowed to return to him, and still persisted in her intention to embrace a religious life, undertaking then to give her the fortune of 54aff. which he had intended for her, with his full consent that she should become a nun, having been rejected, he has resolved on taking the only course which remained open to him—that of appealing to the laws of the country. The ease, if it come en, will, in the present state of public feding, be sure to excite considerable sensation. The Enniskillen election terminated yesterday in the return of Mr. Whiteside, Q.C., by a majority of 17; the numbers being, fur Whiteside 85, and for Co'bun 6s . All the Roman eatholies voted against Mr. Whiteside, whose brilliant efforts in defending the late Mr. O'Connell and the Young Itvlandersl must ever eueuil so remarkable a plate in the his tory of the lnsh bar. Mr. IVhiteside's opponent was, besides, openly pledged to support the strongest measure of resistance to papal aggression; but the popular object was to break down the monopoly of the Enniskillen flintily, which had converted the town into a poeket-borough, and whose nominee Mr. Whiteside was ; and the Olen has hien unavailing. The secretary of the Longford Club writes to the Freeman's Journal to deny very emphatically that there was any "mistake" on the part of the club in supposing that Mr. Serjeant Shea had declined to stand for the county. lie asserts that the learned scrjeant's reply was clear and unmistakeable; and that they had no other resource but to choose an other candidate. Scrjeant Shea, on arriving in Long ' ford, finding such to be the state of things, and that the club had definitively resolved on returning Mr. More ()Terra'', finally abandoned the field ; but, to compensate him for the disappointment the liberal club of Meath, at a meeting held in Navan on Thursday, selected hint and Mr. Lucas of the Mkt as their candidates for the nest election. The (lalgonu estate of the Earl of Mountcashell was put up for sale yesterday in Iklfast, under the order of the Encumbered Estates Commissioners. The attendance of purchasers, chiefly local capital ists, was very large, awl the competition exceedingly spirited. The estate contains 0,392 statute acres, let to 303 tenants, chiefly on leases terminable, at the aggregate rent, of 3,0,41. 17s. 7d., subject to 101. 4s. 2d. tithe rent-charge, leaving a clear profit rent of 3,0211. his. id., and the aggregate amount of the biddings is 64,525/.. which is 1,000/. more than 21 years purchase on the present net letting of 3,021/. 15s. id., and it is confidently believed that the commissioners will ratifv the sale by declaring the highest bidder the purchaser in every instance. The Leinseer Erprenv says: We understand that the Earl of Portarlington wilt not become the purchaser of Emo Park, so that that part of the family estate now aikerti ed for tale must, within a few weeks, he submitted to auction in small lots, to suit pur chasers. There have been hut one or two small limbs of this vast estate yet sold, which produced near to til,ooo/., which has been distributed to thow first entitled ; there is 29,iasii. per annum yet to be sold ; including the towns of Itoscria, l'ortarliagton, tic., all of which will be submitted, in small lots, to public auction during this nod the next year. advent being found utterly impossible, that sinister society is doomed. Talk of conspiracies and secret associations in the face of this permanent gang of hidden plotters against all individual and national security. The foul term cannot touch us. For the recovery of its existence a nation needs not, does not, conspire. The hour of deliverance comes round in the appointed I comae of providential wisdom, and the breath of the I people is the hurricane that sweeps in purifying blast over the face of the land. Ile (the Father) never joined any secret society in his youth, nor would he now in the maturity of manhood. Ifs knew his fellow exiles from Italy, and could vouch for the feel ings of friendly reverence they bore to the institutions of this glorious country, which had sheltered them from the hand of oppression. (Cheers.) Ile proceeded to stigmatise the Jesuit conspirators at Friburg and Lucerne. Nor was Switzerland the only free nation marked out for their intrigues and ma lignant activity. The object and obvious drift of the late aggressive and insulting measures of the Pope resealed the same agency busily engaged in accom plishing here a similar work of discord: into the details of this often thrashed argument he entered with all the freshness of indefatigable indignation, and wielded the flail of his unflagging eloquence, lielalEuring alternately the Austrian envoy at Rome (Prince Esterhazy) and the Westminster cardinal, whose alliance oth nsiie and defensive with the jesuits he exhibited as a bargain mutually advanta geous to the contracting panics, however disastrous to the interests of true religion, the peace of the country, and the integrity of the empire.

J. erref;s, aged lv, was charged with firing a pistol loaded with shot at his sister, Susannah Maria Curtis, aged 17, and wounding her in a most frightful manner. Inspector Miller, of the It division, put in a certificate from 31r. Bushfield, house surgeon of the London Hospital, stain.; that the wounded girl was admitted into that insti tution yesterday with a pistol shot wound in her face, and that she was in great danger therefrom. It appeared in evidence that the prisoner, hi+ sister, and mother, went en board a ship in the St. Katherine Ducks yesterday afternoon on a visit to the steward, who was about to take some raisins from a locker, in which were two pistols. The prisoner took up one of thew. awl, pre- Ent'ng it towards his sister, said Shall I fire ?" She beets a alarmed, and sa'd " For God's sake put it iMam, or you will e 0 time mischief." At that moment the pistol went off, and the whole contents were lodged in his sister's face, which was frightfully shattered, and she fell backwards, air patently lifelts. Immediate assistance was rendered, and she was taken to the leispital. The pistol was loaded with duck shot, and the poor creature received the main part of the discharge in her mouth. Other shots spread over her fare, and some lodged in her eyes and deprived her of sight. The prisons r, who seemed deeply elf (AAA at the lament- able orturrenve, said he did wit mean to harm his sister, and that the pistol went taus he was laying it on the table. The steward of the ship and Sarah Ann Hudson, a visitor on board, said the pistol went ow as the prisoner laid it on the tade, that it was either cocked or on the half-cock, and that the prisoner did not preterit it at his sister at all. The girl was seated in front of the cabin-table when the pistol went off. The occurrence was quite accidental. Mr. Yard], y—There is no doubt it is a pure accident. If the prisoner hail presented the pistol, even in play, I should have detained him. Ile is discharged. " TIIE JEBVITS."—PART 11.

CAMBRIDGE, APRIL 12.—THE NEW TEIPOsES.— The syndicate appointed to consider whether may and what alterations may be made in tne regulations which fix the standing of candidates fur honours in the Moral Sciences 'f rives, and Natural Sciences Tripes, beg leave to report: That with a view to encourage a more complete study of ' the subjects introduced into the new triposes, and to pro mote the improvement of students after they have passed the examination fur their B.A. decree, it -ppears to the syndicate to be desirable that persons of the standing of middle bachelors, as well as commencing bachelors, be allowed to be candidates tar honoura in the new tripuses. They recommend, therefore, that without disturbing the existing regulation by which all students who have passed the examination for the B.A. degree are allowed to be candidates fur honour, in the new triposco next succeeding such examinations, such students shall also he allowed to he candidates for honours in each of the new tripeors next but one succeeding such exami nations ; and that the candidates fur honour who arc of the standing of middle bachelors, being examined by the same examiners who are already appointed for the new tripes, he classed separately in a Middle Bachelors' Moral Sciences Tripos and a Middle Bachelors' Natural Seleners Tripos. The syndicate further recommend that students who shall have passed the examination for the B.A. dearer be admitted to be candidates fur honours in the Middle Bachelors' Triposes, whether they have been candidates or not for such honours in the Moral Sciences Tripes — o;• - .Natural Sciences Tripe* open to com mencing bachelors of their standing. But the syndicate are of opinion that the two prizes now given to the best proficient. in moral philosophy should be given only to candidates for honours in the commencing bachelors' tripos, agreeably to the foundation of these prizes. Thu syndicate further recommend that all students who ;hull have passed the examinations and kept the exercises required tbr the degree of Bachelor of Law or Bachelor of Medicine, be allowed to become candidates for honours in the above-mentioned triposes in the fourth Lent term and fifth Lent tens after the completion of their first term of residence. That both students in law and stu dents in medicine becoming candidates for honours in the ' new triposes in the fourth and fifth Lent tenns after the completion of their first term of residence be classed with the commencing and middle bachelors respectively. The syndicate further recommend that, in conformity with the grace passed Feb. 20, WO, no student who has degraded he allowed to become a candidate fur honours in the Moral Sciences Tripos or Natural Sciences Tripos without leave first obtained from the syndicate appointed to examine into the cases of applicants for permission to become candidates fur honour. after they have degraded. The syndicate re commend that the first examination under these regulations take place in the Lent term of 1842. (Signed) O. E. Corr rie, Vice-Chancellor, W. Whewell, It. l'hilpott, IL S. Maine, 11.

ON TiItRsDAY I,ViT LORD SPENCER Was unani mously appointed chairman of the Northamptonshire Quar ter S. 5.11.1113, in the room of the Lite Lord Northampton. Dr.vni OP CoLosa. W. M. SLO.INE.—CukIIA Sloane, late of the Brit it Auxiliary Legion in Spain, and formerly in the filth regimtut, in which ho served in India, died on the 10th inst.mt. for the sympathy which his crown had obtained at the hands of Eng land and its people. We were most kindly shown by Kamraerherr Ber ling through the divers apartments of the palace. The knights hall and the chapel, beautiful speci mens of the arabesque and scroll style, excited much admiration ; but that which most amused us WWI an examination of the vault into which Christian IV. used to pile his treasures. It was a small arched, thick walled room, having one grated win dow, looking out on the lake. in the midst o f which thecas was built; a small passage, like a flue, passed through divers apartments into the room of the king, and there, concealed behind a d r apery, was a little hole contra 'eating with the passage, down which King Christian threw his gold and silver meets, thus saving himself the trouble of continually going down to the vault to lock up his riches. A skull ominously frowning on the window sill of the vault is described as that of a di-honest clerk in Christian's household, whose peculation's were punished by death in the vault, for whose con tents he had shown too grent a fondness. In the garden of Ftiuderichsborg is also shown a small stone sent where Christian used to sit every Saturday evening when he paid his workmen their weekly wages. Truly a nwthialical prince was Christian IV. lie took ns much care of his money and the virtue of his mistresses, and to the virtue; of sobriety and moderation he joined the best quali ties of the statesman and the soldier. Hunting and fishing are the king's pastimes at Priederichsborg. and we were sorry that the short time allowed us to stay there precluded the possi bility of our joining in any of them ; but, as needs must, we returned to Copenhagen to see what was there to be seen, and then make the best of our way back to Illerting on our return to Eng land. At Copenhagen the sights are such as have been often eFseribed, and need nut be written of again. We WIN' the old towers, where 'rich.) Brodie made his observations. A bust of the old astronomer was there ; it had been painted of a bronze colour, and was rather disfigured it stood in the midst of the primitive instruments which he hid used. and which seem not to have been replaced by more modern ones. The royal palace, the Settsioo., Home of the Diet, the Timm ultimo Palace, Rosenberg, the theatres, in fact, all that was worthy of hying seen was shown to us with a polite:- RCM untiring as it was kind —we missed nothing. On Monday evening, the ith of April, we started on our mum to file rt Our journey bark was performed with much greater speed Bum flint to Copenitegen. It may be summed up as follows:- --Opt iiliagen to Itueskthle, in I hour ; Itoeskilde to Itingsted, iu :I hours; Bing steel to Singable, t hours; Slm.,ntise to Kends', in I hour; Komr, over the Great Belt to Nychurg, in i t hour; Nvehor,r to Odense, in 2i hours; Odense to Sliddelfurt, in 4 hours ; across the Little Wit, front Middelfart to Snoghoi, in ten minutes ; Snogitai to Kolding, in too hours, Kidding to 1104ted in five hours and a quar ter, uud from I basted to Blurting in five and a half hours. Thus the journey between Copenhagen and Meiling was performed. exclusive of stninxigoi, in an hours. The steamer Prime. was waiting for us at Iljerting on Wednesday afternoon, and on Thurs day, hours after our departure, we entered the harbour of Leo estoft. FATHER GAVA7:III4 FIFTEENTH ORATION, YESTERDAY, IN THE I'ELNCESS'S . CON CERT HALL FINE ARTS. THE EXHIBITION OF THE NATIONAL INSTI TUTION, 316, REGENT-STREET. This exhibition, which was opened to private view on Saturday, will be thrown open to the public to day. A marked advance on former exhibitions shows that the members contributors generally have been desirous of impressing favourably the vast host of visitors now daily expected to be welcomed in London. Indeed, so great have been the strides, that we can with difficulty recognise in the present exhi bition that tender bantling which emerged from the " Free Exhibition," Hyde Park Corner. The eye is no longer offended with insane composition and crude attempts of colouring. One curious fact, however, can scarcely fail to attract the notice of our continental guests; it is how the gallant centary . of exhibitors, whose joint labours are summed up in the present exhibition, can have attained their present seemingly uniform level of excellence, and each artist has striven in his own peculiar walk, without in the least encroaching on the labours of his immediate neighbour. If quaintness could be named originality, if frigidity comes under the denomination of style, if a return to the elaborate finicality of early miniaturists and mis sal illuminators be commendable, then does Mr. J. Collinson bid fair to be a painter of first rate emi nence. Thank Providence we have as yet no Pugin , istic feeling in painting, no Gothic agonies of forms • these, with the " brimming stoups," the lofty goods, the enriched screens and coloured tiles, so tbndly dwelt on by catholic-minded Welby, Mr. J. Collinson has wrought with what Fuseli aptly calls " the elaborate anguish of missal painting." The subject represents an incident in the life of "St. Elisabeth of Hungary," when found by the scandalised Landgravine humbling herself at the fat of the crucifix, the Feast of the Assumption. The difficulty of representing such a subject must be obvious. Painting must fall short of the legend, which describes this fair devotee of Eisenach as nursed by angels, and dropping flowers from her' miraculously endowed person. Just as when two particles are placed under a microscope, the smallest seems to dwindle to nothing, the same phenomenon takes place in nature. But Mr. J. Collinson. with ultra-microscopic precision, makes every detail, whether of back, middle, or fore-ground, painfully prominent. It is with pleasure we turn front this performance to a less work of this artist in that style in which he formerly won merited success. "The Reply" (93) is the terse title, more amply developed in the picture, which represents a labourer dictating to his children a letter, expressing resolve to join comrades already settled in Australia. The side glance of the mother is pathetic in its silent appeal. Mr. Deverell has not kept the promise his picture of last year tended to engender. His " Banishment of Hamlet * " is crude in tone and slovenly in design; portions of the composition, par ticularly the expressions of the countenances, evince the raw material of a good designer. It is not always easy to distinguish the two Landers front one another ; both have that very pecu liar bronzy method of colouring, which is in painting what the Scotch accent is to the vernacular ; their costumes, their swarthy models, &c., are identical. The same may be said of the two Messrs. liarraud, of the Underhills, of the Williamses, &e.; surely there is no imperative necessity for Siamese links in art. " The Edict of Leo the Iconoclast" (43), shows how fur the artist's ingenuity has been tusked to cram a great deal in a very small space; by dint of fore siortening and cramming figures in every avail able space, an oppressive sensation is conveyed not slightly enhanced by the colouring, in which the flesh and its covering vestments seem to be under the influence of rapid decomposition. The drawing, however, is skilful and masterly. The same may be said of Mr. Scott lAuder's t.Christ's walking on the Seu." (61), in which, as well as divers other compositions of a sacred east, the painter has freely made use dim effective chiaroscuro, eon sisting m relieving dark forms against light back grounds. These daring contrasts could only be tole rated at the hands of ripe colourists. In works like Mr. W. Underhill's "Swing" (21) it is difficult to determine whether flippancy of toueh or freshness of execution have the uppermost hand; evincing at once intimate knowledge of the powers of the palette, and a reckless abuse of its slay/ling power. I,'he juvenile pieces of Sant's pencil arc uhugether alien from the thoughts of Mr. Underhill; and. like all imitations, his travestie Isis somewhat the air of a caricature. 11" e prefer tits brilliant bit of colouring entitled " Coast Scene " (4) ; there is sunshine in the atmosphere in which bask sonic most picturesque accessories. Placed immediately above this, and perhaps a trifle too sombre in eimparison, is a clever landstniss entitled "The Falls of Ogwen, at the head of the fo s s of Nara Francon, Carnamonshire " (3), by Mr. W. E. Dighton. The different forms of die dark-hued rocks, contrasted with the gush ing foam of the torrent, evince great study, truth, and breadth of treatment. The same spot, though from a different point of view, has been treated in a different manner by Mr. Sidney Percy, in (39) Llyn laws!, North Wales; while the first is all isipasto, the latter trusts to CX• twine attenuation of colour. How far this system of Mr. Percy is capable of producing excessive finish is visible in (250), " Storm clearing off," which is evidently a companion to the artists' picture of Rougli Pasture, exhibited last year. Thus we are already familiarised with the elaborate design of tine-ground vegetation and its dock-weeds. It is, ut ever, impossible not to remonstrate seriously with those landscapists who seem too anxious to sacrifice the integrity of their art for the sake of mere effect. Whether, in this instancy, the monstrous black cloud was subsequently painted in to supply a title to the picture, it would be rush to determine; still, this is the too natural inference, the rest of the picture being as unequivocally under the immediate influence of the sun in its lights and shadows. This is the only blemish to au otherwise beautiful landscape. Mr. L. W. Desangcs, who has been long dallying with flaming effects of reflected light, has this year plunged headlong into the consuming element; and his " Destruction of Pompeii and Herculaneum" (32), shows intimate acquaintance with some of its most terrible phases. Though to a certain extent bring ing back to memory some works of Hanby or Mar tin, the resemblance is rather in the subject than the treatment, which is Mr. Deranges' own. If in clined to be hypercritical, we might ask why Mr. ksanges, who, in other works, asserts his powers of draughtsmanship, did not introduce some incidents to relieve the horror of this scene of rack and ruin? The page of Bulwer on this very subject contains some admirable groups, which seem carved out for the pencil. On the other hand, Mr. G. Fripp, whose iliac is the water colour genre, seems bent oil proving that the chilly tones of the snowy range are just as legitimate themes for the painter as the warm ones of the lambent eruption. In truth it were best to leave this an open question. Some have remarked that Switzerland, in spite of its unrivalled scenery, has produced no great landscapist ; and if 'Odium has been the solo exception to this rule, it is that he has made Choi snow-clad Alps subordinate to other beauties, ho has gilded their peaks and buried their base, as is , Mount Blanc, viewed front his native town of Geneva. We rejoice in the total absence of sculpture ; and mediocrity in this art especially will ever be insufferable. The Great Industrial Exhibition will, we sincerely hope, serve to give an impetus to this too-neglected' sister art, and next year the National Institution, it may be hoped, be additionally enhanced in value by i • its presence.

RE M ATI I , ATR CALg RA Mr. Charles Mathews has once more had reeoume to pro tection from this court ; his present debts are said to ho about 9,0001., and his proposal to pay his creditors in full is founded upon the hope he entertains of realising a largo sum from a forthcoming entertainment during the season of the Great Exhibition. Mr. Mathews had numerous processes in the county courts out against him at the suit of emptoy.4 at the Lyceum Theatre, and hence the necessity of his petitioning the court under Lord Brougham's Debtor and Creditor Arrangement Act.

This insolvent, who had advertised as a " discount agent," as " 11. James," and as " James 11." and also as " Mr. II." appeared f o r final examination. The caso had been before the court on several occasions, the last hearing being on the 13th January, and from the disclosures made in bill discounting extraordinary, had created a good deal of public intervst. Mr. Dowse oppossil on the present occasion for a Mr. Bowen, and Mr. Sargood, who held several briefs, appeared for Captain Campbell and two persons named Itobinson and Sewell. Ile bad represented other parties on the former occasions, who complained with the others that the insol vent through his advertisements to lend money had ob tained their acceptances. The insolvent was his own ad vocate. The insolvent, who is a person of very plausible manners, had figured in this court and the Court of Bankruptcy as an applicant fur relief on "eight " separate occasions. lie had offices in Northumberland-street. Strand, from which placo he advertissd to advance money to gentlemen in need of tho same, and the examinations iu the court showed that clergymen, clerks in government departments, and others had placed their bills in his hands for the purpose of bring discounted. In some instances " pictures " were to be taken in part discount. It appeared in evidence that the insolvent had placed in the hands of Mr. 1). Leo pold Lewis, of Water lane, Tower-street, hills to 1,4261., which he had received fmm gentlemen, and into the hands °Vs. Lewis Lees, bills to 6YO/. In the course ut the ease Mr. Commissioner Law made a searching examination into the bills obtained by the insol vent by means of his advertisements, and examined Mr. Lewis and Mr. Levy and other parties. Mr. Commissioner Law intimated he had his impres sion on the ease, and wished to know whether the insolvent wished another adjournment? Bills to nearly 3,0001. had been obtained, which had been handed to his two friends, Lewis and Levy. The insolvent asked the court to adjudicate upon his caw without another adjournment. Mr. Commissioner Law then went over the principal fea tures of the ease. Ile said a " cartdoad" of bills had been obtained, and there was no evidence to show what had be come of them—the parties would not tell. All that was known was that they had gone to his confederatm It was when the insolvent was deeply involved, and knew that he must make another appearance in this court, that he got the bills. Ile had handed to Lewis bills to 1,4251., and all that had been obtained for them were fivo paintings. There was one painting for 1001., which had been pawned for rd., and there was amain r un which 21ts. had been raised. Such was the value of the imintings given for the mass of hills. The hills handed to Levy were to (lsOi., and only . 6.5/. was obtained. He (the Commiwibmcr) wit., of opinion that Hier: Lad bd en a making away with tho bills; that property had been made away or concealed; and he should treat the ease as a very dishonest one. Ilia Honour pronounced a Judgment of 24 calendar months from the vesting onler, for making away with property, and for giving a prefereoce to Lewis. The inwlveut, on hearing his judgment, declared that he had been completely made the victim of other people. The judgment will date from the vesting order on the 12th Oetoht r, leaving the insolvent, who has for years car ried on the profession of a discount agent, a period of 13 months longer to remain in the Queen's Prison. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT.-SATURDAY. BILPUFK MIL RAMIS MAIPTIN. ROBBERY BY .0 CUNYIBENTIAL SLRVANT, AND ITN DEVEStE. John 21f oe, 2.1, 'errant, was indicted for stealing six cheque-books, a microscope, four shirt studs, and labor articles valued at lOU, the property of George Henty Br, ttle, his master. The prosecutor it appeared was the partner in a city heeds, and resided at Westbourne-terrace. The prisoner had been in his service for time or four years, and had acted us his valet prior to his marriage, and while he occupied bachelor's chamber% in the Albany. In eonsemtenee of some misconduct on the part of oho prisoner he was discharged by Mr. "Inane at Christ mas hest, and shortly afterwards, from etitein dis coveries that he made, he caused the prisoner to he taken into custody ; and upon his lodging ing searched a consi derable (mouthy of property was discovered which had been stolen front Mr. I:settle, and there was every reason to suppose that the prisoner had been currying on a system of plunder the whole time he had been in the service of the prineeutor. The fact of the robbery having been com mitted appeared to be quite conelinave, and if any doubt upon the subject bad by possibility existed, it was removed by the prisoner having himell, when he was taken into custody, admitted to the constable that he had some pro perty of Mr. Brettle's in his poi•essiiin, and begging him for God'. sake to allow hint to speak to his master to urge hint nut to psoceed against him. The prosecutor was subjected by the counsel for the pri soner to a very long cross-examination open mitten, which appeared to have very little whatever to do with the qnes bun at issue. The name of a lady was mentioned with whom the prosecutor, prior to his marriage, had enter. taiued intimate relations, and that lady, he stated, had now been dead some time. The o f ut the cruss-exruni nation appeared to he to show that the articles alleged to have been stulen had been given to the prisoner in order that certain matters that occurred prior to the marriage of Mr. Brittle might not be mentiimedlhy the prisoner ; but this wan I m”,itively denied. The prosecutur shin denied that he had ever promised to give the prisoner a suit of clothes and six months' wages if he would leave hint ; hut, on the contrary, he said he turned him out of the house without my notice, because he was impertinent to his wife. Mr. Mew then asked to be allowed to see the contents of the cheque hoele. The prosecutes appears' to his lordship whether his pri vate cheque-books ought to be looked over, when, us it ap peared to hint they could have nothing to do with the case. The jury interposed, unit the (unman said it was their opinion that the course of crussa sautivation was a mint improper one, and it appeared to them that the inquiries that were made acre quite useless and irrelevant, and did not in any manner tend to elicit the real truth of the transaction. Mr. Baron Martin said he had long entertained the same opinion, but they must give credit to the learned counsel fur having some object in view, and if in his discretion ho thought it right to penievere, the court could not pre : vent hint. Mr. Mew assured his lordship that he was acting from Ibis instructions, and that it Wus important to the interest of the prisoner that these questions should be answered. The foreman of the jury (with warinth).—l can only say I would much rather be robbed by my servant to any amount and Ray nothing about it titan get into that box as a witness, if 1 ant to be subjected to an examination into all my private affairs by the cuuusel for the prisoner. Mr. Mew still insisted upon looking ut the counter foils in the cheque books. Mr. Bullantine said he thought that before one gentleman took upon himself to examine the private cheque book of another gentleman ho ought at least to state what was his object in doing so. Mr. Baron Martin said he had already given an opinion upon the subject of the course of cross-exarnination, told ho must leave the nutter to the learned counsel's own sense of propriety and discretion. Mr. Mew then sat down without asking any further questions. The ditfersnt articles were produced by the constable, and they were all identified by the prosecutor. The telescope , it appeared, belonged to bee brother, but had been left in his charge. The learned counsel for the prisoner then addressed the jury, and be endeavourtsl to show the probability of the property in question having been given to the prisoner by his master. The learned judge having summed up, the jury expressed a wish to retire to consider the ease. Upon their return they gave a verdict of guilty, and the foreman added that they had at the same time tome to the unanimous resolution of expressing their extreme disapprobation of the manner In which the defence had been conducted by the counsel for the prisoner, and also that they considered such a line of defence was calculuted to defeat the ends of justice by de terring persons front coining forward to give evidence against servants who had robbed them. Mr. Baron Martin, in passing sentence upon the prisoner, said it appeared to hint that he had been guilty of a very abominable offence. There did not appear to be the slightest justification for the defence he had set up, that his rooster had given him the property; COUNTY COURTS FURTHER EXTENSION.—Tho bill and, indeed, w , ith regard to the telescope, it was very un for the further extension of County Courts has been again amended and printed by order of the House of Lords. As likely that he should have given him such au article as it now stands it curtains 21 clauses. Considerable alterations that, which could not have been of any use to him ; and in have been made in the measure since it win; last noticed in the next place, it was not probable Mr. Brettle should have given away a thing that did not belong to him, but which the Erprest. With regard to the equity business, it was the property of his brother. It also appeared to him provides that the Court of Chancery shall have power to send , that the prisoner had pwswanal himself of the cheque accounts and inquiries to judges of the County Courts, and declares the manner in which amounts shall be taken and books, thinking that he might be able to use them Na witnesses examined. The Lord Chancellor is to issue rules cd before the marriage of the prosecutor ; and, of practice, and there is to be a schedule of feet to he I received on account of the equity business done by this I under all the circumstances, regarding it as a very had case, means of extortion, by making known matters that bad judges. Unless the Court of Chancery make an order, no for ten yearn, equity business will he transacted in the County Courts.
