RE-O.IIrATION Or F.tints.—One of the most im portant steps towards an adjustment of agricultural pro , ;meets to future circumstances is obviously a resaluatiou of farms. This step has been recommended and adopted by Earl Fitzwilliam and other free-trade landowners. In I urging the adoption of this plan, we have sometimes been told that, even if the whole present rslat were taken off, farmers could not live. This may possibly be the ease ; but it does nut follow that if a certain proportion of reduction be etfolted in rent, and also in every other item of a farmer's expenditure, the sum total of all these reductions may not be made to meet the comparative deficiency iu the farmers' returns caused by lower price,. The reduction of the farmers' rates will, of course, coincide with the reduction in his rent. Low prices will bring down the tithe averages, and as the reduction is a long time coming, *o will it long remain, when prices again rise, if the farmer Can manage to hold hi', own in the interim. The prices of all commodities the fanner has to buy will sooner or later adjust themselves to the prices of feud. The price of la bour will probably come down last ; but no fact is more certainly proved by statistical returns than that the labour ing classes will '• increase and multiply " iu the same ratio us the increase in the facilities for procuring the necessaries of life. In is very few years the price of la bour will come down to the same point, as compared with the price of food, at which it has ranged for the last half century. We wish it could be otherwise, and that the farm_ r might find means of prospering without this painful alternative. Our main object in agitating this question of new valuations now, however iv to call the attention of far- Imers to a case in which the plan has recently been carried I out in this county. 1% c recently announced that the Earl of Romney hall given notice to his tenantry that any tenant who chose to do so might have his farm revalued by a competent person, and his rent re-assessed. This liberal offer was embraced, we believe, by the whole of his lord ship's tenantry, and an eminent valuer has nmently gone over the different holdings. The results were comm mated last week to the tenants, and have given nearly mi.' venial satisfaction. Nearly all of them have got a educ tion of rents ; iu some cases of as much as 18 or 20 per cent. on the old amount. %/there, who have not got these reductions, had been benefited by recent improvements. Osse tenant only, we believe, has had his rent raised—we I presume on the opinion at the valuer that it had been previously too low. In addition to this substantial outfit to his tenants, the noble earl has undertaken to pay the laud-tax (of about two shillings per acre) and to keep all ' the farm-buildings in repair, on the tenant paying half the labour, iustead of the whole labour, which is usually the caw where the landlord finds materiah. No doubt laird Romney has, by this step, sacrificed a considerable amount of income, and his tenants have been benefited to a similar extent; but the value of the reduction has be a enhanced by the manner of making it. Ilia lordship might, iu the old feudal fashion, have returned to his te nantry a certain per ventage every rent-day a remission which, however delicately made, is always disagreeable to the landlord and obnoxious to the independent feelings of a good tenant ; and, moreover, of very uncertain justice, all receiving equal relief, however different may be the nature of their claims. The noble earl has preferred placing the matter on a purely business fouling ; rind has thus divested the boon of the character of an obligation—a straightforward course, which will certainly nut dimi nish the favourable estimation in which such an act of liberality and consideration deserves to be held. We feel strongly convine.sl that if Lord Ronmey's handsome exam ple were to be generally followed, it would soou exercise an appreciable influence ou the agriculture of this county, and stimulate the tenantry to renewed exertions in grappling with difficulties, of which, for some years, they have had to contend with so large a share. Ihe sympathy indicated would stimulate more. It is astonishing how slight a well timed act of encouragement will sometimes invigorate the flaming energies of a true-hearted and struggling man.- 1 ibildstune Gazette. I SHREWSBURY AND BIRMINGHAM.

Pacifico, but not that part of the article which consisted of political comment. The Attorney- General said that he was perfectly satisfied with that statement; of course any political continent was justifiable. Lord Campbell said the course pursued was highly honourable to both sides, and that the rule for the criminal information would therefore be discharged on payment of the costs. MURRAY r. This was an action brought by the plaintiff against the defendant, for infringing the copyright of various works written by IVlvAington Irving, and which hail been pur chased by Murray, awl published in this country without having been previously published elsewhere. The present question arose upon a demurrer, the defendant setting up us a defence that the works in question were written by an alien, and that the English law of copyright did not extend its protection to works of foreigners, even although they had been purchased by an English subject domiciled in this ' country, and had never been published elsewhere prior to the publication hi re. Sir Fitzroy Kelly (Mr. Baddeley and Mr. Needham with him) appeared on behalf of the plaintiff, and said that but for a recent decision of the Court of Exchequer, in the case of honey v. Purdav (17 Law Journal, 375) he should have considered that this question had been decided long ago; but that case had decided in opposition to the Court of Common Pleas and to this court, that a work written by a foreigner was not within the statutes for the protection of copyrights. The learned counsel then proceeded to review the statutes, and the cues which had been decided upon the subject, but was stopped by Mr Willes, for the defendant, who said that he was in structed that the works in question had been published in America before they were publish.' here; and that he should therefore ask leave to amend his pleadings. was accordingly granted, and the case, which is one of immense importance, will not therefore be decided its the present action. COURT.-YESTEIID.%Y. OTITINO4 1V 00,C0.--11•1 , 01111 NI6..IIIPTICIt T t; I 0 AO INAT AN ATTIMNEN. Mr. Keane moved for a rule eallinz on an attorney of this court to show cause why he should not pay to 1)r. Appleton the sum of 18/. received on his account, and all costs incurred by him, as well as the costs of this applica tion. It lipperired that Dr. Appleton in 1818 was a member of a society called the " Medical Protection Society," one of the objects of which was to collect the debts due to the members for professional ieervices. In the same year the gentleman against whom the present application was made, was appointed the attorney of the socisoty, at a salary for which he agree , ' to hire advice and carry on causes at his own risk, looking to the costs he might get from the de , foldouts. And lee also undertook not to receive any in ! 4:limeade. In April in the same year Dr. Appleton handed in to the society the particulars of a debt due to him from a Mr. Vint-mt. Ike attorney ;limbed to Vincent, who agreed to a judge's order to pay the debt and costs by in stalments. On the 3th Feby., 18.11, he had paid the attorney in question 181. for the debt, and M. for costs. On the 31st Oct, IS-19, the appointment of the attorney was re- yoked by the is,eiety ; he, however still conti ~,, eel to receive the instalments /rota Vincent. fir. Appleton made several applications to the society, but was told that no money had been received, because they could not meet with Vincent. lie withdrew front the society in 1819, and in the course of the following year employed a Mr. Randall to sue Vincent ; and a writ Imeing served on him he pleaded payment, and that another action was pending. This led to further in quiry, from which it appeared that the attorney had only ehereed himself to the society with having received 3-h. from Vincent. A correspondence hail followed between him and Mr. Randall, the result of which was so unsatisfac tory that it was deemed necessary to apply to the court. Mule grouted.

The facts of the case were somewhat extraordinary. It was nn action upon a bill of exchange drawn by a person called Buck, accepted by the defendant, and endorsed over to the plaintiffs, as trustees of a loan and discount society at West hackney. Buck it appeared had borrowed a sum of dot. from the society, and defendant, being a friend of his, accepted this bill as security for the loan. The kill was dated the 10th of July, ISdO, and was payable six mouths after date ; it therefore became due ou the 13th of January, Dedl. On the 2i4th of October last the defendant ' received from Newman, the secretary to this loan and dis count office, a notice to the following effect: " Sir,—The bill of exchange above alluded to, 'tempted by you and drawn by Buck, having been stoleu by burglars and duly advertised, and other means having been used fur the re tuvery of it, I give you notice that if such bill of exchange be presented to you, you should give the parties presenting it in charge to the ptlice •' and take notice that on the re , day it becomes duo I shall be ppared to pre sent you with a proper receipt and indemnity." The hill, it appeared, was not presented when it arrived at I maturity, and there kid not been any notice of dishonour. lOn the ath of February a writ of summons was issued at the suit of the plaintiffs against the drawer and acceptor. Upon this the defendant consulted his solicitors, Messrs. I Morris and Co., who advised him that he had a good de fence, as the bill was not forthcoming, and through their clerk, Mr. Ley, they had an interview with Mr. Young. the plaintit&' attorney, when the latter and his clerk strongly recommended the defendant to settle the matter, saying it was almost impossible that the bill would ever be forthcoming, as no douht it had been stolen by practised burglars. Dekndaut still refused to pay the amount, when, lon the 21nd of February, he received this notice from the secretary of the society:' Sir, your acceptance, with sevc -1 nil others which had been stolen, have been this day returned , to me through the Pod-other, and will be forwarded to Mr. Young." Defendant's attorneys then had an interview I with this gentleman, who said the bill had been returned. Mr. Ley asked to he allowed to see it, on which Young pro- ' duced a bill which he read in the terms of the bill which had been accepted by the defendant, but he refused to allow I Mr. Ley to see it. Mr. Ley having no doubt but that it I was the genuine bill, advised defendant to pay the amount. I Mr. Morris subsequently had an interview with Mr. Young, and told him if he would pledge his word I that the stolen bill was in his possession, be would take out a summons to stay proceedings. Young I accordingly did pledge ha word, the proceedings were stayed, and an order,dated 10th of March, was made for the payment of 50/. 13s. the debt, and MO*. for costs on the Ist of May. On the 3rd of May the parties went to Young to pay the amount, when they saw his clerk. and said they were ready to settle the matter upon seeing the bill; this, however, was still refused, but having a glance at it, Buck perceived that his name to it was not in his writing, and that, in fact, it was a forgery. It was then agreed that they should go there again on the Monday knowing, and having dune so they paid the money and the bill seas given up. Both Hill and Buck now swore that their names were for geries, and in this they were confirmed by three respectable gentlemen who were well acquainted with their signatures. Moreover, upon looking at thu stamp, it appeared to have been rubbed with a view to conceal the date. 1 TIIE SITC.tTION OF THE SII.K.WE.VVF.IIS OF Leos (says the .`4llut l'ohlie of that city) becomes every day worse and worse.

THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, MAY 10, 1851% THE POLICE COURTS. 6 CI LDIIA I.L. Edontrel Thimen, a young German, was charged with stealing a large quantity of diamonds value 4.101., the pro perty of Messrs. Drinnuigh, &It walsuler, and. Co., diamond merchants, of 8, lfroud-street-buildings, City. Michael napkin, the detective officer, mid: On the 28th of last month I received information that the prisoner hail absconded with a quantity of diamonds. I traced prisoner to Peterborough, and from thence to Liverpool. On Tues day night 1 went down to the latter place. On the following morning 1 found prisoner had sailed for New York in the Sardinia, a sailing vessel. Finding prisoner had four hours' start of me, 1 engaged a steamer and went in pursuit of him. I overtook the vessel off the Great Ormes' Head, about 60 miles front Liverpool. I boarded the vessel while it pursued its course through the St. Georges Channel, and saw prisoner stand ing on the main deck. I knew him by the description l had received, and accordingly told him I was an officer, and apprehended bin on the charge of robbing his em ployes, of some diamonds. lie said " You're mistaken ; I know nothing about it." I then searched him, and found a gold watch, a gold guard, three keys, a knife, and two French purses, one of which contained D. 24. I took prisoner back to Liverpool with me, and on my . arrival conveyed hint to the Bridewell, where I com menced a more strict search of his person. A great por tion of the missing diamonds were tied round his waist in the manner of a belt. Prisoner, at the moment, said, "Now you've got it—you've gut till." I found in it two large diamond brooches, the centre piece, a brooch of a diamond stomacher, and a pair of diamond bracelets. Prisoner told me he had taken oil the pendants and drops from the centre ornament, and had taken the stones out and sold them to a Mr. Disunite of Lord-street, Liver goof. Went to Mr. Dismore, 'Am at once gave me up five carats of diamonds which he had purchased fur 2dl. The loose diamonds which I produce are the same I received from Mr. Dismore. I afterwards found, on searching prisoner's pocket-book, a duplicate or memorandum of a pair of brilliant earrings deposited at Mr. Youn g'., of Leicester-square, in the name of "E. Ilautman, of 11, Finsbury-square, fur 40!. Prisoner said these earring., together with the pendants, be broke off the mints , ph cc, and the other articles produced formed the complete suite of diamonds. The other portions of the pendants, consist ing of the settings were obtained by another officer. While I was bringing prisoner up tu London, he said he would ; throw him,sh upon the mercy of the court. Ile has assisted me in every possible way to enable me to complete the ease against him. M. Jacques Schwab:idler identified a portion'of the pro pens. Prison: r had been his clerk, and the property had ' been contained in a parcel, and lucked up in astrung room, whence the prisoner must have taken them. Prisoner admitted that he had purloined the goods, and made a lengthened statement concerning the poverty which had rendered the temptation to take the property tut/strung to resist. lie was remanded for further examination. THE SHEFFIELD MURDER.—Yesterday the ad journed inquiry into the circumstances connected with the death of John'Wilkinson was resumed, at the Town•hall, Sheffield. Ater the examination of some witnesses, whose evidence threw no light upon the mystery which surrounds the caw, the inquest was again adjourned.
