Yesterday morning the Loan CHIEF BARON of the EXCHEQUER intimated that the long-pend ing judgment in the special case framed to try whether Dickens's Household Narrative of Current Events be a statutory newspaper or not, would be again deferred—in consequence, it would seem, of the severe indecision of one member of the court—until Monday next. Whether the judgment is thus post poned positively for the last time, Monday alone can I show. Meanwhile, who can answer the apparently simple question ;—svhat is a newspaper ? Is it a sheet containing " public news, intelli gence, or occurrences, printed in any part of the ljnited Kingdom, to be dispersed and made public," las first propounded in the act of Queen ANSE ? Is it a print recording all these ; and, in addition, emit ting " remarks and observations thereon, and pub lished periodically, or in parts , or numbers,at intervals not exceeding twenty-six days," as is added in the sixtieth of GEORGE lIL ? Is a publication a news paper according to law which gives public Dews, into • nce &c. may ? Or is a perio dical • istnariCs and observations thereon, sad ramelta and observations only, • taxable print ? Or, suppose it to contain both, must it be houed at lesser intervals than twenty-six days " between the publication of any such papers, parts or numbers," to have a stamp forced upoa it? Are the country editions of the Atheneum, the Literary Ga zette, Chambers's Journal, Dickens's Household Words, and other literary and class journals, which are stamped to go free by post, newspapers ? And are the rest of the sheets of the same periodicals— which are printed from the same types, but are un stamped—not newspapers? Is a stamped trades man's price -list, or a bookseller's catalogue, or a merchant's circular, a newspaper ? Again: what, as the acts direct, is news? Is an event which happened more than twenty six days ago, and which is recorded to-day, news? And, if it be, is there no limit to the age of news? Because, if there be not, JOSEPHUS'S " History" is a newspaper; and, the o ft -reported announcement of the demise of that excellent lady in whose reign newspapers were first stamped, is news. Then, surely the legislature means something by specify ing intervals of publication not exceeding twenty six days ; but, on the other hand, is an occurrence of yesterday which is chronicled to day not news, because it is printed upon a sheet that reports the affairs of the twenty-sixth antecedent day? Does this mixture of the new with the stale neutralise the former, as the mixture of old wine with new cheese produces blue mould ? Again, at whatever time " dispersed and made public," what kind of information, what class of facts, constitute news? Is the QUEEN'S speech news? As the reader can always learn her MAJESTY'S official sentiments the day before they are delivered and published, he timidly opines the negative ; but, the solicitor of the Board of Inland Revenue tells us decisively, in his evidence before the Committee on News- paper Stamps, that, so indubitably is the QUEEN'S speech news, that if we presume to print it on pieces - --- - - MoRE CATHEDRAL GRAMMAR SCHOOL ABUSES.— ties of 201. per piece ; yet the same gentleman An important memorial has, it appears from the Worcester o doubts" (in his hundred and fifty-ninth answer) papers, been recently adopted hy a very large majority of whether a speech by the CHANCELLOR of the Ex the mayor and corporation of Worcester, and presente d to CHEUVER is news. the dean and chapter, on the subject of the Cathedral Gram mar School.

Accordingly the memorialists add, " That The newspaper stamp laws are not the only fiscal in the discharge of what they believe to be their duty, they laws which require to be relaxed, or to be superseded beg to represent to the dean and chapter, that in their law some fairer, less expensive, and more ready means humble opinion the inhabitants of the city and neighbour- raising revenue.

The prisoner me ordered to be discharged. George Trice, 26, was charged with the manslaughter of Christian George Lord. Mr. O'Brien prosecuted. The prisoner was defended by Mr. Ballwin*. It appeared that late on the 19th Aug., the prisoner, the deceased, • man named Popestock, and several other person% were drinking in a booth at Maidstone fair, the whole of the party being at the time more or less the worse for liquor. A dispute arose be tween the prisoner and Popestock, and the pri soner threatened that he would strike him, upon which the deceased interfered and told the pri soner not to strike a man who was old enough to be his father. The deceased was at this time sitting in the bet in the booth, and the moment he made the observation re ferred to, the prisoner seized him by the legs and threw him over the bar, and he fell with considerable violence upon his head. The deceased complained of numbness imme diately, and it was found necessary to remove him to one of the London hospitals, where he died on the Ist of October, and it was then ascertained that he had received an injury to the vertebras of the neck, and this was alleged to be the primary cause of death, the immediate one being dysen tery, the result of the injury he had received. It was ad mitted that it was an injudicious proceeding to remove a man in such a state as the deceased was from Maidstone to London, and that it was calculated to aggravate the symp toms of the malady. Mr. Sallantine, for the defence, said he could not den that the prisoner had been the unhappy cause of the death of the deceased, but he submitted that there had been • drunken quarrel and dispute between the parties, and that the injury had been inflicted in a moment of passion, with out the prisoner entertaining the slightest idea that it was likely to be attended by such fatal consequences. Several witnesses were examined, who gave the prisoner an excellent character for humanity and good conduct. The jury, after some deliberation, returned a verdict of Guilty; and the prisoner was sentenced to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for three months. U. W. Warman was brought up for judgment in the course of the morning, and sentenced to be transported for • seven years. William Hams, 23, and Henry Hound, 20, were indicted for the capital offence of shooting at and wounding Edward Earthy, with intent to murder him. Mr. Parry conducted the persecution. The facts of this case have been given very recently. The prosecutor was a police sergeant, of the T division, and on the night of the Bth October, in consequence of re ceiving information of a highway robbery having been committed at Acton, iu which district he was on duty, he was on the look-out for the thieves, and while going along a lane at East Acton, accompanied by a constable named Bayley, he saw two men with masks on their faces, and, on his attempting to secure them, one of the men, who proved to be the prisoner Round, fired a pistol at him, and wounded him severely in the thigh. Bay ley attemp t ed to take the other, when he also drew a pistol, and attempted to discharge it, but it missed fire. This second man turned out to be the prisoner Harris, who was secured upon the spot, but Round contrived to m akei his escape, and was not apprehended until the nest day. the jury found the prisoners Gully of the whole charge, and sentence of death was recorded st a ling them, with an intimation that they would both be transported for life.

Consols have been very quiet all day, at 981 to 1 for money, and 981 to for the 11th Dec., being the same as they left of yesterday. The attention of the dealers is, to a certain extent, en gaged by the arrangements for the settle ment of the account in the foreign stock and railway share market. The prices of the morn ing's business are officially reported as follows : Three per Cent Consols Annuities, 981, 1; ditto for Account, 981, 1. Three per Cent. Reduced Annul ities, 971 I. New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cent. Annuities, 981, 99, 981. Long Annuities, 7, 7 1-16. Bank Stock, 2141,4. Exchequer Bills opened at yesterday's improved rate of 53a. to 565. prem., but a few sales of the smaller sizes of bills have been made since at 528. prem. In India Bonds nothing is doiug. The foreign stock market is extremely dull, with scarcely anything doing, beyond the usual prepara tions for the settlement ; so that the prices present no quotable change. Spanish Actives mark 201. The meeting of the supporters of Sir John Fitzgerald in his new agitation for the avoidance of the arbi trary sacrifice of one-half of the coupons is now being held at the London Tavern. There is not much doing in the Californian gold companies' shares to-day, and prices are quiet. Quo tations range as follows: Aqua Fria shares, 11 to 11 prem.; Nouveau Monde, Ito prem.; Golden Mountain, 1-16 to 3-16 prem.; West Mariposa, dis. to par; Ave Maria,l dis. to par. Rumours of further mercantile embarrassments at Liverpool have received their confirmation in the suspension of two firms, those of Messrs. I'ryde and Jones, and Messrs. Hamden and Co., both con nected with the American trade. The aggregate liabilities of the two firms will probably prove rather large, but some uncertainty prevails on this point, and it is likewise probable that a considerable portion of the loss will fall on United States houses. These failures, however, can only be regarded as isolated cases, and by no means militate against the views entertained in most quarters relative to the generally sound condition of trade throughout the kingdom. It is satisfactory to notice that the limit of the pressure lately experienced in some branches of business appears to have been reached. Where embarrassments are now brought to light they are in most cases attributable to difficulties existing for some time past, and consequently excite no great surprise. The market tor foreign exchanges yesterday presented no great change, but a fair amount of business was transacted. Paris remained 25.10 to 13 for short, and 25.25 to 30 for three months. Amsterdam maintained the previous rate of 11.181 to M. Ham burg was in good demand, but large amounts of paper being olkred, no decline took place. It left off 13.10 to 1. Frankfort was done ut a slight de cline, viz.,1204. St. Petersburg was in great request, but no paper offering. Bills on Genoa and Leghorn were a shade lower, but for Spain and Portugal the market was very dull. No business took place in bills on Vienna or 'frieste, the nominal quotation being 12.30 to 35.

Roney, with his portrait. The portrait is by Mr. F. Gush, of Ncwman-street. _ _ - - • MODE OF RELIEVING THE OUT-DOOR POOR,— Yesterday, at the meeting of the board of directors of St. Pancras parish, Mr. Turner proposed as • resolution, " That, at the expiration of the contract for bread for the out-door poor, money be given to the deserving poor in lieu thereof, and that the casual poor be relieved with bread obtained from the workhouse." The present system of giving bread to the out-door poor, he thought, worked badly : of late the bread which had been so supplied bad been declared by competent judges to be mat for human food. It would therefore be beMer to give money to the deserving poor, and let them expend it to the best advan tage. Mr. Oudden seconded the resolution. Mr. Healey moved an amendment, which was adopted, that Mr. Tur ner's resolution be taken into consideration on the second Tuesday in March ; this would give an opportunity of judging how the present system with the late improve ments world work.

SIR JAMES BROOKE AND HIS GOVERNMENT AT' SARAWAIC.—At a meeting of the Lambeth branch of the Society for Propagating the Gospel, held last evening, Sir Jam ex Brooke was present, and after a lecture by theltev. T. F. Stooks, on the Borneo Mission, his excellency ad dressed the meeting at considerable length Ile set out with the candid avowal that he disliked public meetings, that he was not accustomed to them, and was always afraid of sayicg more than he ought. If Christianity, he observed, was to be introduced into Borneo, it must be done in a Christian spirit, or they did not want it at aU. If say par ticular church, us the church of England, was introduced toleration was as much as it had a right to expect amongst a heathen people. If they required a bishop there, that was the very simplest matter of discipline in the church of England—clergy without a bishop were like a regiment without a colonel. But if the Christian religion became in Sarawak a religion of division and uncharitableness, he hoped it might leave the country. Chri.tian people should always consider bow they approached a Mohammedan or Ilindoo population ; for undue zeal might beget undue zeal in opposition to it. There was but one way, that of mild persuasion, to convince this people ; and it was in the hands tit God whether it should be to-morrow or a thousand years hence. They must watch the Christian community ; for history showed that Christians in a dis tant land did not always preserve that unity and Christian spirit which they ought to do. When he went to Borneo, he found had government : the very bonds of society were loosened, crime walking abroad ; rapine, piracy, oppression —everything that happily was unknown in England, He had no fixed plan, no deep design ; he had no design at all it was thrown in his way, and he followed the path before him. He struggled with difficulty after difficulty, not knowing what the morrow would bring forth ; but gradually light came out of darkness. lie found certain laws and customs existing ; above all, a generous, high minded population, willing to be improved. They were constantly applying to him as their protector, though they were in tact his protectors. lie taught them only to use their arms in defence of their rights, and thus were the rudiments of justice attained. Then they instituted a court—the simplest in the world. They all met at a round table ; every person of respectability, English and native, sat down at that table; the prisoner sat on a mat ; the trial went on, every person being at liberty to speak and the decision was given and recorded at the time. All the proceedings were in the Malay language; every native knew what was going forward; and they often took the deepest interest in the cases. Thouth lacking European culture, the natives were not at all inferior to us in mental capacity ; in fact, as far as he could judge, their minds were quite equal to those of Europeans. When he wished to alter a law which was inapplicable, or cruel, or too lenient, he called the people together in open court, and explained the proposed change ; he then directed the several chiefs to call the people together in their own towns, and consult as to what were the best laws for the country; and he received their determination. It was, as far as possible, self government. Ile had always found them a noble and highly independent people, and most truthful and generous. This was true of the better class of both Malays and llyaks. But they would bear no oppression ; they always wore daggers by their sides, and were as ready to ILO them as an Englishman to use his fists. They would bear nothing in the shape of an insult. By acting on this principle their native rajahs easily ruled them, without even possessing their confidence ; and that had been a lesson to hint which he bad fol lowed ever since. Whenever a man was accused of any crime, even of murder, though he might not be of good character, ho was not taken into custody, nor wan any insult put upon his feelings ; he was simply pledged to appear and take his trial at the next court. His Excellency related an interesting instance of this. The proceedings of the courts were most simple. There was very little writing; but he hoped good substantial justice was done. The courts were composed of a certain number of English gen tlemen, mingled with a certain number of natives, who together formed a judge and jury, or rather, the functions of the two were combined. The institution had gradually spread, though, beyond the province of Sarawak, he had no power or jurisdiction, but was limited to offering advice when it was asked. There was always the element of piracy to guard against; though that he hoped was at an end ; still there were a number of governments that would demoralise Sarawak, if they had the power. But they had no such power; and the question was, whether we might not in future apply the same development that had been applied to Sarawak to the ether rivers along the coast. REDUCTION IN CAB FARES.—Yesterday the cabs of Mr. Thompson, the cab-proprietor of Southampton-row, Russell-square, made their appearance on the rank with large placards thereon, announcing " two persons carried for sixpence a mile," and were in great request. Numerous cab-proprietors have signified their willingness that sixpence a mile should be the legal fare conditionally that no cab should be called off a stand for less than a shilling fare. Mr. Thompson some time since announced his intention to make this reduction, but was induced to forego his determi nation by the threats uttered against him ; he has, how ever, received such promises of support, that be has re solved no longer to delay in making the reduction. OMNIBUSES AND THE DAILY FRE.SS.—Within the last few days the conductors of the Islington omnibuses, travelling to and from the Kennington -gate have intrcduced the agreeable use of the morning papers, a practice and im provement which will doubtless be speedily followed by the conductors of all such vehicles, as it is one which must prove of great utility to the public, particularly that portion of it whose time for reading newspapers is limited. A good sized bracket is placed against the top or end of the vehicle in which these morning papers are placed, and a request is printed underneath that all passengers using the journals will, when done with th em, replace them In the bracket, and also deposit a penny for the reeding in a small box Milled above. _ IiiIIfIiATRICIDE IN LlVERPOOL.—Yesterday an inquest was beld on the body of William Blunt, whO had been stabbed by his brother Joshua, during an altercation which had taken place between them on the day p revious. The jury returned a verdict of " Masudaughter agotast Joshua, Blunt, who was committed for trial at the nest assizes. THE LATE CHAPLAIN OF PORTSMOUTH DOCK TARD.—The Rev. Dr. Morgan, who a few weeks since re tired from the chaplaincy of Portsmouth Dockyard, died on Saturday last, the 22nd Mat., at his residence, North-end lodge, near Portamonth, aged 83. Dr. Morgan was, with out an solicitation on his own part, specially selected by Lord Melville to the chaplaincy of Portsmouth Dockyard, which situation he filled for 34 years. He served his sovereign for 58 years. 13 of which was hard sea-work during the height of the war.
