Jetr 11. The accounts received tide day from the country bring no confirmation of the rumoured re-appearance o f th e potato blight. On the contrary, the Irish; provincial papers published yesterday are unanimous in asserting , that no symptom of the blight has been observed in their respective neighbourhoods. On the subject of the pluralities attached to the arclideaconry of Roblin, and which have been only partially curtailed by the recent net of the Irish ex- I endive in separating two of the parishes from the' anion of five, the Eremiuy Mail Bays : This order, with all reveivime be it spoken for the high ecclesiastical and judicial personages who may have assisted at the said council, is a annual abrogation of the law which forbids pluralities in the church. Three large and richly endowed parishes, each ;laving a parish church and a mul titudinous congregation, are, by this will of their lordships, to he bestow, :1 upon one man. There are, of course, swipe and forms of law to legalise the arrangement, otherwise it could not have been sanctioned. But, to the unlearned in those crooked readings, which enable men to arrive at such conclusions, it must be plain and palpable that the purpose of the legidatute,that no man shall henceforth hold more than one beneCee with cure of souls, has been set at nought in the: present case, with a must flagrant contempt fur the opinion of society. The individual, whoever he may he, in whoe favour this extraordinary decision has kern made, will be a sort of little bishop. Besides the three parish churches above referred to, his jurisdiction will comprise the cliapels of St. Steph:ll, of Itathmines, and of Milltown, all under his imousliate control; not to mention the churches of Sandford, of St. Mathias, of the A.ylum in Lemon-street, Mr. Verschmle'e church in Upper liageot street, and the chapels at ltinesend and Sandymount. Phase of these churches will own him fur their master ; but the duck in every one of them must yield him a portion of it, lb ice. lilt were necessare that he should present him self formally to each detached section of those scatter"d sheep, it would take him nearly three months to "read him.. If iu." The protestant population of the whole district cannot be less than forty thousand, and the y, arty income as , iguksl by her Majesty's Privy Cuancil to this head shepherd, for his single share, exceeds two thousand I,ounds. An application was made on Saturday, before the Encumbered Estates Comucissioners in full court, to refuse confirmation of the sale of lot 17 of the Earl of Kingston's estate, which was sold in the early part of last week. The lot, it was stated, was sold at exactly the lowest figure (7501.) at which it had been valued by the commissioner's valuator ; a quan tity of timber, mm cover, worth 2401., not being in cluded in that valuation; and it was argued that the sale having been made by only one commissioner, was contrary to the provisions of the act. The Chief Commissioner, without hearing counsel fur the purchaser, said: It was quite true that every party was entitled to have the °linden of two commi,•ioncrs on any matter before the court, and they regarded the present motion as an applies• tnm for that purpose. There wa. a great deal of business dour separately by each conimlssioner, which ultimately reeriveol the sanction of his brother commissioners. With reference to the matter before them, it was quite a common count, and, as he conceived, not inconsistent with the net or parliament, or any of their rules under it, for a single eonimi..ioner to collect the bidding. and ascertain who was the higheet bidder, and then if there was no objection made or no desire expressed to have the opinion of the full court, the tenet yance was executed by two commissioners. That was pretesely what was done here, and nothing more ; and a sale could never, under such circumstances, be considered as confirmed SO as to exclude any party desirous of taking the opinion of two of the commissioneni. As he under stood the rent of this small lot was 371. a year, and the tim her en it was valued at 2101. Now, with reference to that deeeenption of property, he might observe that valuators of timber were very much in the habit of putting a fanciful ♦alue opal it. For that lot they had got 7.301. There wen• heavy poor rates upon it, and they did not think the sum Mhos el so inadequate a bidding as to justify them in refusing to confirm the sale. Therefore they would my, no rule on the motion, and let the purchaser have the costs of the motion out of the general fund. CORK POLICE COCILT.-MONDAT. A CAPTAIN UP At the sitting of the court at 3 o'clock, Captain Eustace H. Rose, of the tioth Rifles appeared to answer the charge of a carman, named Joyce, for assault. Mr. I'. Fitzgerald app,areit tor the complainant ; the de repre?entedby any professional gentleman. Fitzgerald, hating been sworn, 'lt, about half -past ten o'clock, ~ between the Imperlid lintel and defendant, Captain Rose (whom he and, without the least provocation, fate. um you Sure you ilia not insult nothina to thins. lie rushed at me The last blow he gave me *big ot' the street. , to Captain !lose, who was stand ,k ri sting his fate on his hand, in , person a 1w struck him in court? with his head on his !mant— a a tine stout lump of a Land it is would give you a good Lek _ not allow this to go further.

" remember the caso in London of officers got fourteen days for streets, :md I trust it will be .tiown Aare all Irish magistrate anxious and citizens against such ungentlemanly Pembroke street was examined, and stated he saw Captain Rose strike Joyce two blows in the face. Re did not see or hear Joyce say or do anything to provoke the assault. The case of the complaint having closed, Mr. Du Kane, one of the officers of the Rifles, we under stand, was examined for the defence. Ile said: We were coming out of the Imperial Hotel when there was a crowd of carmen and other vagabonds—l don't mean that carmen are vagabonds—but you know which I mean. (Laughter.) Alderman Roche—Well, really I am sorry to say I do not. Mr. Du Kane—Well, I tell you there was a crowd of wretched people about the door of the hotel annoying us, and making fuss and bother about their cars, sad offering their sets ie. s in other disgraceful affairs too—but mind, I don't say asking if you want a car is disgraccful—(laugkter) —lint no matter, they were bothering and annoying us, and Captain 'lose told them to go and be damned several times, but they did not mind him. (Laughter.) We walked along, and some followed us, asking for money, and offering their cars. We did not want their cars; and this fellow (Joyce) kept ou after us sa close, that be could hear all we said, so Captain Rose turned round, and struck hint two blows. Mr. Fitzgerald—Did you hear the carman say, or see him do anything to Captain Rose, to provoke that assault ? Mr. Du Kane—l don't want to have anything to say with you. (Laughter.) I told you all—he was annoying and teasing us. Captain Rose—The man said or did nothing to me. Ile was following and annoying us With half-dozen others, and I told them several timi s ter God's sake to go away, that I had nothing fur them, but this man coutiuued to follow us on, and so 1 turned round and gave him two good blows in the face, and would do so again. Alderman Roche—Were it not that I think this gentle man was much excited at the time, I certainly would order that the full penalty should be indicted for this most un jnstitiable Qua unwarrantable assault, but, as I believe he did it under the influence of excitement, I will only fine him 2?. :and the costs of court. I slid not wish to prevent or intermit the gentleman while giving his evidence, but I must now inquire of hint it h e meant the words " vaga bonds" which ho had used, to apply to the citizens of Cork ? Mr. Du Kane—Oh, no ; by no means. I did not allude to the c'dizens of Cork at all. I merely spoke of those rains wits are in the habit of collecting round the hotel door. Alderman Roche was quite satisfied with the explanation.. Captain Itose—We like the people of Cork very much, and think them very nice people. (Laughter.) The tine having been paid, Captain Rose left the office in company with several brother officers, who were present during the hearing of the case.

The facts alibis ease, which has been brought before the house by writ of error on a judgment of the Court of Ex chequer Chamber, affirming a judgment of the Court of Queen's Bench, were fully stated in the report in the Aspress yesterday, together with the points of the argument and the substance of the question put by the Lord Vitincellor to the learned judges. The Lord Chief Baron now delivered the opinion of him self and tie other judges, who had heard the case argued, in answer to the question put to them. The question put by their lordships fur the opinion of the judges was this:— " An individual claims compensation under the treaties mentioned in the statute 39th George 111., e. 31, or under one of those treaties and under the said statute, or under the statute, has he any, and what remedy to recover such compensation, other than by an application to the com missioners appointed and acting under the said statute and by appeal from their decision to the Privy Council ?" Ile had to state the unanimous opinion of the judges, that upon the construction of the statute 59 George iii., c. 31, the funds supplied by the French government under the treaties and conventions mentioned in the statute, were received to be applied according to the directions of t he statute ; and that the plaintiff therefore had no right of claim, except under the provisions of the statute. !'hero was not therefore any ground for the claim upon the petition of right, in opposition to or independent of the statute, which contained directions applicable to the whole of the funds. It was urged, in the argument for the plaintiff, that the commissioners under the statute had dis posed of so much only of the funds, as sufficed to answer the chains of such British subjects as had their names I registered before the passing of use statute, but that they gave no decision on the claims of those whose names were admitted in the register, after the passing of the statute. it was also argued that though the Baron de Buile's claim was not duly registered before the passing of the act, all the facts stated in his petition o: right in support of his claim were found on the inquisition and thereby established ; and iu that case it was contended that as there was a surplus of tie indemnity fund remaining in the hands of the otficas of the crown, the sovereign was liable. That would be: a question entitled to great consi deration if the statute had not been passed ; but upon the construction put by the judges on the statute, that question dad not arise. It was consequently the unanimous opinion of the judges that this claim was not sustained, and that claimant had no remedy, for lie mast mike out his claim according to the directions of the statute., and he has not done so. The judges did not consider it necessary to give their reasons at length fur their opinion, inasmuch as they concurred in the reasons given by the judges in the Court of Exchequer Chamber fur thudgment given there, and which was set out in the print ed CiI,US on the table of the house. --- OP HAINAULT. Three petitions were presented by different parties in terested in this suit for liberty to negotiate with the Cam nti of Woods and Forests fur the sale or cum , mutation of the office of Warden of the Forest of Ilainault and Epping, which belonged to Lord Mornington. It appeared that a bill was shout to be past for the purpose of ilisafforesting the forest, under which it was provided that compensation should be given to Lord Mornington for his office. A question would be raised whether that being an hereditament, had or had not been included in • trust deed executed by Lord Mornington fur the benefit of his creditors. The rt ceis2r under the deed contended th tt the emoluments of that office had passed by it for the benefit of the creditors, and applied for leave to negotiate with the commissioners as to the amount to be paid. Lord Cranworth mule an order according to the prayer of the petition presented by the receiver without prejudice to the right of Lord Nlorningtou to co ntend that the office had not been included in the creditors deed. MINLOVE V. CASTER.—SitteetNO TRINSACTION9.— LIEN troN MEItCHANDISE. ____ _..... .................e... This bill was tiled by Menlove end Co., who were mer chants in America, against the captain of a ship named tho Charlotte, and against the assignees of Messrs. Higgins= and Co., under these circumstances. It appeared that the Messrs. Higgins= and Co., who w ere merchants at Liver pool, and owners of the ship Charlotte, had sent her out to America with a cargo of salt and coals, consigned to the Meson. Mentors and Co. of Cha rles ton, who were to return a cargo of cotton. The cotton was shipped in America, but the cargo of salt and coal not producing sufficient money to pay for the cotton, bills were drawn by Menlove and Co., upon Higgins= and Co., to the amount of 1,1771. When the good„ were put on board, the defen dant Carter, who was the captain of the ship, signed a bill of lading in the following terms. " Shipped in good order and condition, by Menlove and Co., 1263 bales of cotton, 74,811 fact of plank to be delivered in like good condition unto order or to our assigns, the said shipment to pay nothing for freight, it being owner 'e ! property to order of Mcnlove and Com a auy." The ship sailed from Charleston on the 12th of Oitober, 1817. The bills of exchange were sold by Menlore and Company to the bankers at Charleston, and were endorsed to their Liverpool house ; one of them was accepted by Iligginson and Cumpany before the arrival of the ship at Liverpool, and they then became Innkrurits. The whole of the bills of exchange and the bills of lading were received by the Liverpool bank, but the American firm of Meant: and Company remained liable for them to the Charleston bank. The fiat in bankruptcy was issued against Iliggin.ou and Company on the 13th of November, 11117, and the ship arrived in England on the 26th of the same month. The bank of Liverpool being thus the holders of the bills of lading, applied to the defendant Carter for delivery of the cargo. The assignees of Iligginson and Company, however, disputed the title, and Carter therefore declined to deliver the goods. This bill was then tiled for MI injunction to re strain the captain from parting with the cargo to any one but the plaintiffs. The injunction was ~ ,ranted by the late Vice-Chancellor of England, on the Dth of November, 1847. The ship was then removed into thq Albert Docks at Liverpool. In December, 1817, Hig gins= and Co. discharged Carter from the command of the ship, which was then left under the control of the owners of the dock, who took upon themselves to remove the cargo front the ship, and store it in one of their warehouses, and declined to allow the plaintiffs' to have possession of it. The cotton afterwards diminished greatly in value, and the plaintiffs applied for a receiver and for sale of the goods. 1 . he goods were sold under an order of the court, and pro duced less than had been advanced by the American house. The injunction which had been granted by the Vice•Cham cellor of England was appealed trout to Lord Cottenham, J who confirmed the decision, and gave leave to try the legal question at law, whether the plaintiffs had a lien or not upon the cotton. An action was accordingly brought b the aesignecs of Iligginson and Company against the Dock Company, and it cone on by bill of exceptions before the Exchequer Chamber. Judgment was delivered on the 20th of May, 1851, in favour of the plaintiffs in equity. The cause now came on for hearing, and the decree asked was to have tho money arising front the sale and which had been paid into court, handed over to the l use of the plaintiff., and that the assignees of Iligginson i and Company should , pay the costs of the suit us having been rendered necessary by their opposing the title of the i plaintiffs. A petition ter payment of freight to the assig ness and a motion to restrain an action at law came on to gether with the cause. .. .. .. -.— .. . .... .. . .. Thu Lor:1 Chancellor, addressing tho house, said their lordships heard the opinion just detivered on behalf of the learned judges.

LOILANT.-VALIDITY OF A RATE. This wa, a writ of error on ajuiigiuentoftheCoitrt of Exchequer Chamber. The case was partly argued last Monday in the presence of the learned judges in the com mon law courts, by Mr. l'eaeock at.d Mr. Denman, for the plaintiff in error, and by Mr. l'reuiergast and Mr. Need ham (with whom was Mr. Bagley) fur the defendant in error. The facts of the case were stated in the report in this journal on Tuesday. Mr. Needham was now further heard, and Mr. Peacock replied. the Lord Chancellor, at the conclusion of the argument, put these questions for the opinion of the judges, which were to this effect. First, if authority be given by an act of parliament to the majority of a parish vestry, there being more than vestrymen present, to make a rate, would a rate so made be unobjectionable, it the seven persons were ves trymen de facto and not de jure ? Secondly, authority acts given by act of parliament to a vestry to make a rate fur relief of the poor, notice of the meeting to be held for the purpose was to be given on the preceding Sunday ; and by the same act it is enacted that notice should be given to each vestryman. At a vestry held ou the 12th of August it was resolved that a rate should be made but as all the forutsof the rate could not be then completed, adjournments were made to several subsequent days the last of ' them being the 14th of September, when the rate I was completed. There was a notice of the purpose of the meeting ou the 12th of August, but the notice of the meeting fur the 11th of September contained no mention of the purpose being to make a poor rate. Suppose the rate eu made to be otherwise valid, was it invalid by reason of the notice nut stating the purpose for which the sneering I was coiled i Thirdly : In au action ot repleviu an attorney alleged that a poor rate was made antr the passing of a certain act of parliament, and before the seizure of the plaintiff's goods fur non-paymeut of a rate, and while his goods were liable to be rated; would that allegation be sustained by proof of the facts as stated in this easel Ills lordship, hating read the material facts, said lie consi dered that the three questions ho had now put embraced all the material points in the ease. The learned judges, having received a copy of the ques tions, retired to consider their answers. Mr. Bethell, Mr. Follett, and Mr. Cowling appeared for the plaintas. Mr. bolt, Mr. Cairns, and Mr. Crompton for the assignees. Mr. Cooper and Mr. Moor,: for the Hoek Company, and Mr. bacon and Mr. Kinglake for the captain of the ship.

This was an action brought by the plaintiffs, as the holders of a bill of exchange for 67 .)1 , dated 'lad of August, 18-11, drawn by the defendant upon, and accepted by Thomas and llostvek Whinney, payable 31) months after date. juddes returned alter some time, and on their behalf The Lord Chief Baron read their opinion to this effect : In answer to the first question proposed to them, he had to report their unanimous opinion in the affirmative. They thought that the vestrymen de facto were as competent to join in making a rate as the vestrymen dejure. In answer to the second question, they were of opinion that the rate was not renderd invalid by the reason of the alleged det'e'ct iu the notice of, the adjourned meeting. It was sufficient to give notice on the church door of the purpose for which the first meeting was to be held, and they (the judges) thought that the notice so given extended to all the adjourned meetings, such adjourned meetings being held fur the purpose of completing the unfinished business of the first meeting, and being in continuation of that meeting. It was stated in their lordships' question that the substance of the allegation was that the rate was made after the passing of a certain act of parliament, by virtue of which the taking of the goods was justified, and certain facts were stated in support of that allegation. The judges were of opinion that the facts stated in the question sup ported the allegations. The Lord Chancellor said that nothing could be more distinct than the opinion just delivered, and in that opinion he entirely concurred. All the objections taken by the ! plaintiff in error wore in the nature of technical objec tions, and it was satisfactory to know that if the rate had been impeachable on the merits, the party might, by appeal, have had that question raised, and might have so obtained re dress. But that fact ought not to prevent any one from taking other proceedings to impeach the rate. The judges were unanimously of opinion that the adjournments were but coutinuatious of the first meeting, and that the effect of the notice given previous to the first meeting was well continued to the subsequent meetings. This objection was more of substance than either of the others. Thu opinion of the judges as to the vestrymen de facto and de jure was most important when it was considered that there were many persons charged with responsible duties whose title to exe cute them could not be clearly ascertained at the time ; and when it was remembered that great inconveni ences would often arise if the validity of these acts depended ou the validity of their election. The enunciation of the principle of the learned judges, that the acts per formed might be valid notwithstanding the invalidity of the election of the parties who performed them, as might be afterwards discovered, was of the greatest importance, and in the correctness of that opinion he begged to declare his concurrence. Lord Brougham also expressed his concurrence generally in the opinions delivered by the judges. The judgment of the Court of Exchequer Chamber was then athrmed. Judgment for the defendant in error. Seejeant Shee and Mr. Horne fur the plaintiffs ; Mr. O'Malley and Mr. Prentice for the defendants. I The presentment, clishutiour, and notice of di s honour, of the bill having been proved by the plaintiffs, Mr. O'Malley address. d the jury for the defendant, and I said there was a great number of pleas upau the record, on I some or other of which he should contend he was entitled I to judgment. The fact that this bill was due in Feb., 1811, and no action commenced upon it till just in sufficient time to avoid the statute of limitations, although the defendant was a perfectly solvent man, won in itself calculated to raise suspicion. The facts of the case were as follow: 1.7 p to August, 1841, the brother of the present defendant, Mr. U. Elmore, carried on his well known business as a livery-stable. keeper in Piccadilly ; in that year he died, and the present defendant, as his representative, disposed of the business and premises to Messrs. Thomas and Bostock Whinney, for the sum of 5,3171., which was to be paid as follows: 1,0001. in cash, and the residue by eight bills of exchange, for various sums, all doted the 2nd of August, 1841, and payable at different intervals. The present bill was the sixth of the aeries. The seventh was for 1751., payable three years after date, and the last for 1,01411., payable four years after date. To secure the payment of these bills a warrant of attorney was given, and judgment entered up for 10,000!. The estate of the late Mr. Elmore being indebted to the present plaintiffs, Messrs. Green and West, four of the eight bills, including the one now sued on, were indorsed over to the plaintiffs. The last two, namely, that for 5751., and that for 1,0801., remained in the hands of the defendant. The bill for 575/. was not paid at maturity by the acceptor. In August, 1814, the bill for 6751. became due, and was not paid, and Mr. Elm. re had also a hook debt of 0251. against the Whinneys, who were obliged to give up business, and make over their property. Mr. Green took a considerable part in tho endeavour to settle their affairs, and in order to do so it became necessary to make an arrangement with the defendant. He refused to come in under the deed which was proposed for the benefit of credi tors so far as his judgment debt seas concerned, but agreed if that was settled to do so for his book debt ; accordingly Green agreed to buy the judgment debt for ten shillings in the pound on behalf of the body of creditors, and a deed of assignment was drawn up dated Bth August, 1844, try which, after reciting the facts, Elmore assigned the two bills of exchange, the debt, warrant of attorney, and judg ment, to Green for the sum of 827/. 10s. At the time this was Bono not a word was said by Green holding Elmore liable to pay the previous bill for dill. And if at that time Green was looking to Elmore to pay this bill, the whole arrangement was a fraud. In January, 1846, this arrange ment having been carried out, a deed of assign ment was executed by , the Whinneys of all their joint property for the benefit of creditors, of which deed Green was a trustee, and it was arranged that he should repay himself all moneys expended by him in payment to Elmore before any general division took place. In January, 1846, it became necessary to sell a part of the leasehold property assigned to the trustees, and a person who proposed to purchase basing searched and found the judgment for 10,000/. against the Whiuneya, ap plied to have satisfaction entered up ; and accordingly Green. as the assignee of the debt, gave to Elmore a memo randum in the following terms: " Mr. John Elmore,-1 hereby oonsent to and authorise you to enter up satisfaction on the judgment recovered by you against T::omas Whinney and Bostock Whinney on or about the Bth August, 1812, and by indenture of the 13th August, 1841, assigned by you to me for securing two sums of 6751. cunt 1,080... therein particularly mentioned, being the balance then remaining unpaid of the sums for securing which the said judgment was originally given ; and which two sums have since been paid or otherwise satisfied.— (Signed) HENRY GREEN." lie contended that the plaintiff, after signing this docu ment, was estopped from saying that the bill was not paid. The rule of law was clear that if a person by his words or conduct wilfully caused another to believe the existence of a certain state of things, and induced him to act on that belief, so as to alter his own previous position, the former was concluded from averring against the latter a different state of things as existing at the same time. tinter this rule of law he should contend that independently of the consent to enter satisfaction the defendant was entitled to judgment itn the plea of payment. But at all events he must be so entitled by that consent. Another ground of defence was that facts had occurred by which he should contend that the jury would be justified in inferring that the plaintiff' had agreed to grant the acceptor time whereby the drawer would be released. The plaintiff bad entered into an arrangement with Bostock WMnney, by which the latter agreed to pay this bill out of his separate estate in case it was not paid out of the joint estate. He could give no positive proof that, in cousideration of his so doing, Green did grant time ; but he should put in the letters that had passed, and leave the jury to draw their owncouclusion. The various documents avian/nod in the learned coun ters address were then pat ia. LINDVAY V. Dl.Tzzu AND M. WILLIAMS V.

This was a proceeding instituted on the part of the crown to ascertain, first, whether Louis Bareiss was a foreigner; and secondly, what property became vested in him as cue cuter of John Gottlieb Iriou, a foreigner who died in the 'county of 3lidiLesex in May, 1840. It appeared that Mr. Ilion, a native of Wurtemburg, had during a residence of many years in this country antas.ed considerable property in Middlesex. He disposed of such property by will, and appointed four executors, three of whom alter his death declined to act. The fourth was Mr. Bareiss, also a native of Wurtentburg, a party to the pre sent proceeding. The inquiry was to a•certain the precise amount of the property left by Mr. Irian, so as to enable the crown to give the parties entitled to it a legal title under the alien law. Evidence was given which showed that Mr. Irion died posse,sed of i.roperty value 270 t. a year, and that Mr. liareiss was au alien. The jury found accordingly. COURT OF BANKRIXTCY.—YESTERDAY. Davao , ('o mmisliimEa TUE AIIILANULMLNT CLAI'2I:S. A case came before his honour in which a trader had pe titioned the court under the ith division of the Bankruptcy Consolidation Act, commonly known as the Arrangement Clauses. By the 211th clause, any trader unable to meet his engagements with his creditors may petition the court for protection, whereupon the court is empowered to grant a private sitting and appoint an official assignee for the estate. If three-fifths in number and value of the creditors above 101. wao have proved their debts assent to the pro posal of the petitioner, a meeting is appointed for its con firmation, and protection is granted in the meantime. The clause under which this case came before the court was the 220th, by which it was enacted that if any difficulty arose in the executionof the arrangement, a subsequent meeting might be held. Ilia lione.a sold the cases which came under these arrangement clauses were full of difficulty . and complies tion. The person who drew them up, having no clear or definite idea in his head, had left the act iu such a state that it was impossibk for the court to find its way to a conclusion. In some of the clauses excessive precaution had been taken with regard to the attendance of creditors,; whilst in subsequent clauses those precautions were dis pensed with. A great deal of inconvenience had arisen from abandoning the old mode of giving notice to creditors through the Getzetle, and substituting a course that was ! clumsy and inefficient.. This trader owed a large stun to securedcreditors, and 1,5001. to those who were unsecured. Ile had petitioned the court, and made as proposal, otkring through a friend to secure a dividend of 3s. in the pound, and to put at the disposal of the official assignee 3W/. But some time had elapsed, and the whole sum wnich had reached the official assignee was .51. The petitioner asked for another meeting; but, in such a case, the court thought lbankruptcy preferable to any other course. The expense of carrying out the proposed arrangement would be (Jul. or 70'., and, after all, it would probably fall through. Ile must decline to grant another meeting, unless the whole of the expenses were deposited with the messenger, and sulfi cient security given that the Kum offered would be forth coming. lie could not but lament the careless way in which these clauses had beta drawn up. CENTRAL CRLII7NAL co URT. OLD COURT. —iESTERDA Y. Bum.. Mu. Ju rico; W10111,14N. .AI4ON BY AN ATTORNEY. James Iluggsra, 37, a person of gentlemanly appearanee, described in the calendar uau attorney, was indicted for wilfully, feloniously, and maliciou s ly setting fire to a dwelliam-house, William Strong and Elizabeth, his wife, being therein at the time. In a number of other counts the intent of the prisoner was said to be to injure Anne Huggins, and also to defraud the Guardian, Atlas, and Phoenix Insurance Companies. The facts of this case have been brought before the public in the successive I:insioa-house police reports of the press, and are resumed in Mr. Clarkson's opening state ment. Mr. Clarkson said that unless the prisoner upset the eri donce of the witnesses which he would call before tht in, the jury could not resist coming to the conviction that the prisoner was guilty of having wilfully and maliciously set tire to the building, knowing that two persons were in the house at the thus. The premises were dilapichded, and were in the charge of a person of the name of Strong and his wife, and were insured in three different insurance com panies. la 1317, before the prisoner became in possession of the premises, he insured the building and the rent for 3001. in the l'hcenix Office, and afterwards in the Guardian Insurance Office for 1,5301., being 1,3501. fur the pre mises and 1.501. for the fixtures. The premises had, however, been insured before then by the freeholder for 1,0001. On the 31st of May, about 11 o'clock at night, a strong smell of tire, and smoke and flame were found to issue from the premises, and intimation was immediately given to the lire brigade. The lower portion of the build ing was occupied as a coffee shop. Upon examining the premises it was discovered that the fire originated under the stairs, where rubbish had been Kept, and amongst the rubbish were a funnel, apiece of wax candle, a pire of cotton, and two trays containing camphine. There could be no doubt that the premises had been wilfully set on fire. When the insurance companies had made inquiries into the circumstances attending the tire, they discovered that on the 21st of March last a person of the name of Wood had barn employed in making a hole in the back part of the premises, and in doing various other jobs. On that day the prisoner went to the house in Lime-street, and pro cured a lighted candle, with which he went into th e first floor back room, and he remained absent fur an hour and half, and after that day the key of the cellar was gone rind there were no means of communication with th e ce ll a r , ex cept by the means of the hole iu the wall. On the 23rd of April the prisoner went to an ironmonger at Camber well, and ordered a pipe or funnel, according to a drawing which he produced. On the Ist of May, the pipe having been delivered on the 211th of April, the prisoner went to a carpenter of the name of Kemp, whom he ordered to make a block or stand for the piece of pipe. The fire took place on the Saturday, and the prisoner was on the premises on Friday, and he brought in a carpet bag and a brown paper parcel, and entered the room over the coffee-room, and afterwards went into the cellar. On Satur day he came again, and saw Mrs. Strung, and went into the room of Mr. Taylor, which was once the comer-nom, in Mr. Taylor's absence, and was seen also in the cellar. lle was on the premises on Saturday as late as three or four o'clock. On thu Monday after the lire the prisoner sent fur Mrs. Strong, and asked her to explain it, and she said that no one had been on the premises but the prisoner himself. Witnesses were then called in support of this statement, after which Mr. Bodkin, on behalf of the prisoner, said he would not attempt to deny that the hand of the accused caused the fire. The learned gentleman then proceeded to contend that the absence of adequate motives, and the unnecessary elaboration and artifice employed by the prisoner, argued disordered and unbalanced intellect. Ile then called the sister of the accused, who said that two of his brothers had diedof brain disease, and that prisoner was from childhood of very irritable temperament. The evidence of several witnesses who had lived in the accused's family as servants proved that he was at times very eccentric in has behaviour. Dr. Sawyer, of Guildford.strect, attended prisoner in ISIS for congestion of the beaus, from which he believed he was still suffering. Ile believed thst his conduct in this case was that of an insane person. Ile believed that at times prisoner was unable to distinguish right from wrong. Dr. Connelly, the physician to the Ilanwell Lunatic Ag low, said that, at the request of the prisoner's family, ho had seen and conversed with the prisoner in Newgate; and the opinion that he bad formed was, that his mind was not now perfectly sound, and that his judgment was impaired. lle had heard the evidence of his conduct, and he was of opinion that it was the conduct of a man on the verge of insanity. It was a very common case for a man to be of unsound mind and yet be quite able to pursue his ordinary avocations. It was also a very common indication of insa nity for a man to imagine that his food was poisoned, and to suddenly take a dislike to a person for whom he had pre viously evinced the greatest affection. By 3lr. Ballantine—lt was very difficult to draw a line in ati;..ctions of the mind or to state the exact condition of disease. He should not say, certainly, that every person who committed an offence was of unsound mind. Mr. Ballantine—Do you consider the prisoner was in such a state of mind as to be incapable of distinguishing betwe,n right and wrong ? Dr. Connelly—l cannot answer the question in that form. There arc many patients in Hanwell who arc decidedly in , sane, but who perfectly well know the distinction between right and wrong, and they would do what they knew to be wrong and would then say that they could nut be hurt for it because they were known to be mad. Mr. Ballentino repeated his question, and Dr. Connelly said, it was his opinion that the prisoner was incapable of coming to such a conclusion as would bo formed by ape:redly nano man. in answer to further questions, and being pressed upon the point, Dr. Connelly at length said he was of opinion that the prisoner was in such a state of mind as to be tempted to commit a crime and not be able to resist, but at the some time he might be able to distinguishbetween right end wrong.- f..ir Aleaander Morrison, Physician to Beth• leheni Hospital, and Dr. I'help, gave similar evidence. — The learned Judge having summed inp, the jury, after deliberating five minutes, found the prisoner Guilty. Mr. Justice Wightittan then passed sentence, and said judgment of death would be recorded against the prisoner, I and it would rest wilt the crown to deride to what extent that goateuco ghouls), be commuted, THE POLICE COURTS. MANSION HOUSE. An Irish tailor, named John il;;;IT, rag charged with having inflicted a severe wound upon the head of his son, who appeared to be about ten y.:ars old. The wife of the defendant said the blow was intended for her, but she was sorry to sav it missed her and hit the poor child. Her husband had been out drinking to her Majesty's health until he got angry, and upon returning home he turned her out of bed, and to prevent her front returning to it, he flung a large vessel at her, which struck the boy and laid his head open. The Lord Mayor—l mint let you, defendant, and the other Irish tailors, who certainly are greater violators of the peace than any other of her Majesty's subjects, know that the Queen has very lately given her assent to an Oct of par liament which is peculiarly adapted to the eople of your calling. Ity that act malicious injury of the kind you have inflicted upon your son is puu;shable with imprisonment for three year,. The moment the wife found that the defendant was in such danger, she said, " Ah, then, my lord, sure I don't believe he wanted to throw the vessel at me. It was only the water in it he wished to fling over me, and it slipped out of his hand. (A laugh.) If you'll make bins keep so ber,it will do." defoulant.—.. That's truT enough, your Honour she's the quietest woman in the world, and I would not hurt her for the uuirene; but she gate me too much of her jitz,:that night." . . ... • . _ The poor little boy qui , Ady adopted his mother's view of the matter; and, although hie head was plastered and looand up, and he was Rarely able to open his eyes, said his father never meant any mischief, and the wound was a mere bit of a scratch. The Lord Mayor—l see how desirous you are to motto light of the matter, my good woman ; but I must protect you and your boy, and snail require sureties fur your hus band's good la hariour to you. Defendant—For how long, your lordship ? (Llughter.) The Lord Mayor—l was going to say for three months, but I shall now require it for twelve months. I shall havo the substance of toe act of parliam. ist I alluded to printed, and send it round to all the Irish journeymen tailors its tho City, with the assurance that I shall invariably a..t upon it if any more desperate cases .hould be brought before me. BOW-STREET. - - Henri Defame, a 14:MehCariting-house keeper, ap peared to answer a summons taken out against him by three foreigners named Bachirels and liarmutis, fordetain ing a quantity of: articles, their property. COMpiainalltS stated that they arrived on Wednesday morning from France, and went straight to dehmlaut a house in Holborn. They decimal him to procure them some breakfast, and to allow them the us.: of a roam for an hour. This he did, and, having partaken of same coffee, rolls, and meat, the complainants desired him to provide them with some accommodation for washing. At the expi ration of the hour they called for the biU, and found that each was eharg Us. Gd. They considered the chargo exorbitant, and refused to pay st. Defendant, in retalia tion, then insisted upon retaining a quantity of the com plainant's luggage, and in this extremity they WeiC com pelled to resort to a DUMMOIIS. Mr. Henry iuquired of Alai:nand how much he had charged for briakilk.A. Dt 7 fendaut—half-a-crown each. jr. Henry then asked if that was his usual charge. On being answered that it was, he thought it was too much, and it was not the usual charge in London. It appeared, also, that the root which had been engaged contained live beds, none of which had been touched by complainants. He would advise defend:rut to take 2s. fur the breakfot and 3s. for the use of the room from cult complainant. If he slid not agree to that arrangement, the rise might be token to the comity court; but as defendaot, like the complainants, was a foreigner, he would do well to take his (Mr. !fairy's) advice.—llefendant wished to know who would be liable for the costs.—Mr. Henry said that us the complainants were foreigners he had nut charged them with the sum mons' fees. lie would extend the lame privilege to de fendant, and forego the costs. The case was then settled according to the suggested • arrangement, defendant receiving five rdtillmgs instead of wclve and sixpence from each complainant. TRAFFIC RETURNS FOR TILE PAST WEEK.

NOT 3ft:cft BETTER OFF.—In an article wo chanced to read the other day, showing the had state of London after dark about one hundred years ago, we . came across the tollGsvin; paragraph, cupiod (ruin the Acs tisA I'ost and Canterbury News Letter :-9n Wednesday last, Mr. Fowles, one of the band of musick at Covent-garden Theatre, was attacked in Soho by two men, who demanded his watch, &c. Upon his calling out one of them threatened to shoot him; they then robbed him of SOMO silver and made off." This was thought very bad :but the weekbefore last, in the S un d a y papers of June, 1801, wo read as follows: " Daring Itohlwry : Oa Thursday last a gentleman waa attacked by two ruffians in Bedford-square, about half-part one is the morning. Ono threw a noose over his neck and. half strangled him, whilst the other robbed him of his watch and purse. They then beat him about the face and head with a life-preserver, and left him bleeding on the pavement. There were several carriages waiting in the square at the time." It does not appear that we live in such an age of progress as we imagine. If this goes on, we shall hear of descents of banditti from the Highgate mountains upon Camden and Kentish Towns; and of people being carried away and detained as hostages upon flarnpsteftd-heath until rescued by their friend. from the brigands, after a finger I day had been sent down by' the poq.—Jestinf ir l i. cart, it is a very serious afrait,—T4 Math, by &boss 1,4311 1,931 2,8661 2,892 1 19,76 048 18 9011 ,461 0 - - 6,612 10,017 7,742 7,692 7,010 7,662 0,809 2,862 3,219 1,300 k 1,001 1 212 143 IS3 23$ 744 152 67t 63 33 1713 22 236 181 421 12 518 173 k 2414 11 167' 01 28 4961 60
