Tee last advice. from America announce the arrival of Mr. Levuoth at Washington. Never did country stand more in need of a ruler than the States in the last week of February, 1861 ; and never were nobler elements of power ready to the hand of a statviman than those which are to test the capacity of the new Pam DENT. it is becoming more and more evident that it is not by any number of separate compacts founded on the special interests of individual or associated Stake that the cause of the Union is to be served. The Morrill Tariff Bill, a costly bribe offered to Pennsylvania by the Northern States, is a melan choly example of such mean bargaining. What all America wants, and has been anxiously wait ing for, is the declaration of a national po licy from the only man who is entitled to address the entire American people with autho rity. It may be, AI Mr. JEARANON Davis, the President of the "Confederacy" patched up at the South, asserts, that " the separation of the " South from the old Union is complete, and no " compromise, no reconstruction, can now be en " tertained." A President of a new Confedera tion is not worth his salary if he is not ready to bold language like this. But for all that, the doings at Montgomery have a Unionist air. The violent South Carolina men who brought on the secession have been paned over in the appoint ments, It must have been to conciliate some strong pecifie interest in the South that Mr. Semi ewe, of Georgia, who has been a declared Unionist from the beginning of these troubles, was elected to the Vice-Presidency of the Confede ration. The Southern agitators hare a keen sense of the feebleness of their position. Al long as the excitement of esounion lasted they were tolerably awe of their ground. But now it is over, and people are asking what out, they perceive their danger. For what have they done t They have, se far as their sets are worth anything, volun tarily cut off their Staten from the only connexion which gave them political dignity or credit. As long as they were confounded in the grand total of American nationality they shared the high and noble piece which its vigour, freedom, and en lightenment secured it in the regard of the world. All this the South has lost. It has not only isolated itseU, bet in the madness of fanaticism hes founded its constitution on that very social festers which is most odious in the eyes of the civ jawed world. It has abused the name of republic to set up a confederation which men are already calling New DeA.niu , y, with a If iseinippi repesilinlor for ifs' chief, and a band of professed duelist, adven turers, sharks, and public plunderers for its leaders. Bad as the South is proved to be by the fact of its slavery, we may be quite sure that the Wiorsua, Stiemso, Yseeses, and Benaannits eannot fairly represent either its morality or las elateseaseehip. These men only condeeeisid to lead the South because they ass net perieneed to loot the North any longer, end, if time is given them, they will exhaust and disgust the Move States just as they have wearied and angered lie Free. Their names and antecedents are a pledge that while they are at the head of affairs the mese of the Confederacy will be cue of turbulence, bad faith, sod intrigue or conquest for the tram- Men of gamy. Their language is that of men who feel that the very principle of their associa tion eats them off from a noble future. From Wag part of a glorious nation they have become a joise.doek corporation for upholding and extend ing the easiensment of their fellow man. Pros men like these Asaansis bets:dig darns es day hoes night. Men of all parties in whom the capacity to admire what is manly and true is Doi extinguished, do homage to his character, and even the organ of New York ruffianism is awed into something like decency when he is in question. His progress from Springfield, in Illinois, to Washington has beau • long ovation. Be has gained upon every audience that has seen him. Even the New Jersey Legislature, the majority of which is not Republican, promises him its strong support. What appears to have most won upon the A merican public is his calm, equable temper, a strong desire for peace and union, and conjoined with these the firm language of civil courage. One of the first things he said in public after his election, and when he was told by the South that ho would never take office upon the principles laid down at Chicago, was, " I will " suffer death before I will consent to any con " °anion or compromise which looks like buying " the privilege of taking possession of the Govern " meat, to which we have a constitutional right." He added, " But if hereafter the people desire to " call • Convention to remove any grievances " complained of, or to give new guarantees for the " permanence of vested rights, it is not mine to " oppose." Beyond this the millions who look up to the new PRESIDENT for some word which may disclose his governmental policy have received no satisfaction. He has said that if he can help to save the country on the principles of liberty contained in the Declaration of Indepen dence, be shall consider himself the happiest man in the world ; but that, rather than give up those principles, ho will give up the country ; he has said that, to preserve peace, " it may be necessary "to plant the foot firmly ;" and people have freely drawn inferences from these and similar expressions. But it is probable that Mr. LINt VEY could hardly have explained even to himself the exact plan in which these intentions were to be realised. That a last effort will be made to save the Union there can be little doubt. Peaceful separation is much talked of in England, THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, MARCH 8, 1861. Mis not easy. If the North were resolved terser ow to acquiesce in the secession proclaimed at Montgomery, there are questions of a high order of importance, some of them urgent and none remote, which might endanger the peace and friendship of the two communities. The demand for the rendition of fugitive slaves would be as difficult to refuse to • Southern President, dis- posing of war steamers and an army, as it has been heretofore when made by single States, and the extension of the area of slavery on the American continent by the new Confederation is a metier Ito which the Northern republic could not be in- I different. Mr. LINVOLN and his advisers may think it just as well to meet these difficulties in a plan for saving the Union, as to let the Union go, and deal with them afterwards. TH►: aimless debate raised by Mr. Pore HEN sassy on Monday and concluded last night has given us two things—a vigorous and high-toned speech from Mr. GLADSTONE, not needed to defend a foreign policy which the country has endorsed, but nevertheless useful to restore order, light, and truth to a subject which the Papal orators had plunged in darkness and chaos— and next, a specimen of the new Liberalism which Mr. Itorovea has just imported from Vienna. Mr. R"Esucx was not very strong for the Italians last year ; he is now, however, for a united Italy. We fear our readers would never guess that this means Italy made one from the bottom of the Peninsula "to the Mimic)." Venice belongs not to Italy but to Austria. This is novelty the first. The second is that the Italians will be more inde pendent with Austria in the Quadrilateral than if they held Venetia. The Austrians must be kept there " to prevent the Italians becoming " the vassals of France." There is only one thing more to add. It is that anybody who cannot sea these things as clearly as Mr. ROEBUCK, and won't acknowledge that aU Austrian interests are also English interests, is a fool. Mx eoun. OSBORNE, MARCH 7.

Kneel The Abbol Psasaglia speaks very mysteriously since his return from Turin. The other day he had a conversation with Cardinal Antonelli, in the course of which he told him that the Holy See would do well to think seriously of the gravity of the situation, and that the maintenance of the stabs quo was impossible. The cardinal is said to have replied that under existing circumstances any compromise was out of the question. " That is not the opinion of all the cardinals," rejoined Professor Paasaglia, "and I can assure your Eminence that six or seven of them desire to come to an understanding with Piedmont." " I cannot believe it," said Mgr. Antonelli, "and I beg you to give me the names of the cardinals you allude to, for I consider what you have just said is offensive to them." Passaglia went on to observe, that in opposing every attempt to effect a reconciliation with Piedmont, the Holy See ran the risk of caus ing a schism in Italy. Hereupon the cardinal hastily rose and bowed the Abh4 Passaglia out. I understand that among the cardinals alluded to are Mgri. Amat, de Pietro, Silvestri, and d'Andrea. The apostolic preacher for Lent, Father Luigi Puccheri, preached a remarkable sermon at the Vatican yesterday, in the presence of the Pope and several cardinals. He dwelt in a very marked manner upon the duty of governments to listen to the truth, and to surround themselves with coun cillors who would not keep the truth from them. This sermon has made a great sensation, and I fear the preacher will get into disgrace with Cardinal Antonelli. There is not a wall in Rome on which you do not now see chalked up, " Viva Victor Emmanuel, King of Italy." The soldier of Christen's band who murdered Dr. Ltini has been assassinated himself by the doctor's servant, who determined to avenge his master. (asvru•r man Ams.) FRANCE. PARIS, FRIDAY.

Here they were placed in Weary, and on the morning of the Bth he opened fire. The place replied with peat energy, as the besiegtxl had twenty guns, most of them of heavy calibre. The firing lasted all day, and did not cease on our side even in the night-time. The rumour ran that serious disagreements existed among the besieged. General Mezraatim, therefore, thought Bt te tare this supposed but probable circumstance to account, sad adored on the 2ith.st a very early hour, three columns tiLLterre the three priacipal gates.

The partisans of the temporal power in the Senate, encouraged by the high figure of their minority yesterday, assumed quite a menacing atti tude, as will be seen from the following report of the opening of a stormy debate : M. President Tisonono—Oardinal Morlot has asked leave to speak ; but I am bound to remind his eminence that the Senate has decided that there shall be no general discussion upon the paragraph now before us; it has solemnly decided this. (" Yes, yes.") Now, if the Senate chooses to revoke its decision—(Nobe and continued inter ruption.) Marquis de Lsnocuusclumme—But we were told that we might discuss every line separately. Cardinal Karrlizzu insisted upon a division of the vote upon the paragraph. The Becker Arty (Baron de Lacrosse) read a part of the minutes of the sitting of March 5. The Pasannwr—The Senate has decided the question. Will it now reverse its decision! (Sensation.) M. TOUHANGLY—The Senate decided that there should be no general discussion before the vote on the amendment ; but it did not say that there was to be none afterwards. (Noise.) Cardinal MORLOT—If the President will let me speak, I shall be very short— Several Voices—Yes ; speak. (Cries of " No, no.") Cardinal Gomm also desired to speak on the paragraph. (Loud cries of " No, no.") I wish particularly (said his emineoce) to speak upon the paragraph, and I will speak upon every sentence of it if necessary ; but in that came my speech would be cut up into fragments, and would loss he moral effect. Cardinal Moatov—Before the vote of yesterday— Prises NAPOLEON—There has been a vote of the Senate on this point after a deliberate discussion. The Sonata may go back from its decision, but let it say so. Marquis Da 130188 Y—It wee not said that there was to be no discussion on the paragraph. The PRICAIDZNI"—The question was clearly propounded. Marquis de BOINBT—Are we at liberty to speak here, or b one person to have all the talk to himself! I bow to the opinion of his imperial highness, bat I have a right to re fute it. (Great confusion.) The Pacetniun.—M. le Marquis de Money, that iv not the question. The question is, whether the Senate wishes to resume the discussion ; I will pat that question. M. TOURANOEN-1 asked leave to speak, and four senators have taken leave to speak before me. The PRESIDENT—But you =mot speak upon a subject Dot before the house. Count SEGOS D'Acusenneo—l auk to speak upon the standing orders. Sevend Voices—N. le President, let him speak. The Pitzeromrr—Count decor d'Airrtemraa may speak to order. Count gram taotitasmiu—The President alone ham the right to give leave to speak. lie had given leave to Car. dinal Morlot when the latter was interrupted by Prince Napoleon. I ask that the rule of the house may be adhered to and that the Cardinal may be beard. The PRERIDENT—There is no doubt that Cardinal Morlot will be entitled to be beard if the Beaste decides to enter upon the general discussion. (Applause.) Count Scans D'AGUEBB/I,ll—n is ishicaut not to let a Cardinal speak upon such a quintiles as this. It is mon strous. (Loud murmurs.) X. Rouen—Bat this is videos& Count Simon n'Aoursosso—lt is most indoosat. It is not enough to deliver up Rome to the King of Piedmont, but you will not hear a Oardinal—a defender of the church ; it is a dishonour for Franoe. (Great disapprobation.) Prince Nsroutos—Order ! order! Severe] Voices—Yee, yes ; order, order. The PRvimeirr—l did not hear what Count Segni d'Agueasean mid. Nothing but vociferation reached me. I deeply regretoind the Senate will join with me in regretting, that we should have witnessed the souvenir of tumultuous aesemblies—souvenirs so much out of place here. (Loud cheers and agitation.) must be a discussion on the pars- Cardinal li( graph. The Parninsisrr—That depends on the Senate ; I will put the question. The question baring been put and two aueesailveshows of bands being declared, the debate, according to the regula tions of the boas*, continued. [Left sitting.] It will be seen from the above that the clerical opposition carried their point. 31. Gueroult, no doubt instructed by Prince Napoleon himself, replies as follow'', in the Opinion Nationale, to some complaints that have been made of a passage in his speech, which was brought to bear hardly and ungenerously on the prince's old political friends of 1848 : We can affirm that the strictures of the wince wire Doi pointed against the generous movement of 1848, is white he was entirely associated, nor against the providessal go- vernment, which saakbt inmimisrable difloultisa auesleded in maintaining order, but solely wild the feign *fey of IL de LersarVas, who, only recently, has been so unfortunate as to fund& arguments to a party alike hostile to France and Italy. It is only necessary to reed the paragraph in question attentively to see the true meaning of the words used by the prince. Although absence of business continues to be the prevailing feature at the Bourse, there was some improvement in prices to-day. The Rente rose 50. for cash, and 15c. for account, closing at 68fr. 100. and 68fr. 15c. Mobilier rose sfr. Railways were from lfr. 25c. to sfr. higher. The Mires securities were rather lower. " A telegraphic despatch," says the Toelonnais, " which arrived the day before yesterday at Toulon from Paris, directed five captains of frigates, MM. 'Cowman, Pascalis, Garraud, Blaiae, and Bour beau, to proceed to China, to place themselves under the orders of Vice-Admiral Charner. Scarcely twenty-four hours were allowed them for making their preparations for a departure on a voyage of five thousand leagues, and for an absence which may last several years. They are to embark is the Eldorado for Alexandria.' Another despatch directs that five navy Burgeons, two storekeepers, ten distributors, ten infirmary men, and a detach ment of bakers shall also be seat to China forth with. All these officers and men, on reaching Sue; are to sail for their destination in the Japon." THE DISCH4 ROE OP THE FUGITIVE ANDERSON. The Toronto papers received by the last Ameri can mail contain accounts of the discharge of the fugitive Anderson, already 'nuanced by telegraph. The Toning° WA., of Monday, Feb. lit, says :—" At twelve o'clock on Saturday the Court of Common Pleas was crowded to hear judgmeat procounced in the case of the fugitive slave An dersou. The prisoner, instead of being placed in the body of the court as upon previous occasions, was accommodated with a seat within the semicircle devoted to the use of the Queen's counsel, immediately in front of the judges. The poor fellow listened with intense anxiety to every word which fell from their lips, but we imagine understood little until the applause which greeted the conclusion of each judgment assured him that their lordships had decided 1711 his favour." The (ache then gives the judg ments, which occupy ninny columns of the paper. After the reading of the judgments " Mr. Sheriff Jarvis stepped up to Anderson and announced to him that he was free. Anderson rose from hie seat wailing, arid turning to the bench as be left the court, said —"Thank you, gentlemen—thank your lordships.' lie was then conducted through the judges' room into the centre hall. On reaching the front of the building he was warmly received by the large crowd who had filled the court, and cougratulated on his discharge. A number of clergymen anti others graved him warmly by the hand, and three cheers were given for the ' British governmeat,' led by an enthusiastic coloured man. A sleigh was procured at the head of Yorkstreet, and into this Anderson stepped , at compaoied by Alderman Nnsinith and others. jarty drove to several plaom in the city, and in the eveaing comfortable boarding house was found for Anderson. The nears that he was free was sun known throughout the city, and everyou appeared to feel glad that the poor fugitive had escaped, even by a technicality, the vengeance of the slaveurners of the Smith." The Lombardo of Milan announces that the 19th inst. is to be celebrated as a holiday throughout Sicily, that being Garibaldi's saint's day, his Christian name being Joseph. ii•• • THE BOMBAY MAIL. We learn from Bombay journals (Feb. 12.) that the famine in the north-west provinces continues unabated, and that the sufferings of the people are dresdfuL " Horrible accounts reach us" says the Bombay Gazette, "of human beings dying at the rate of 400 or 500 a day ; while the desolation is not even limited to the vast expanse of country from Lucknow to Lahore ; for tales are now told equally appalling of the extremities to which the population of the native state of Travancore, in the south of India, are reduced by the drought which has caused to wither all the fruits of the earth. According to a Cochin news paper, mothers in Travancore are selling their chil dren as slaves for sixpence each, that they may have wherewith to purchase bread, if only fora single day. While so many millions of the people of India are thus afflicted, it is at least a consolation to know that both the government and the public have exerted themselves with liberality and promptness to lessen the weight of this terrible calamity. In Bombay alone, from seventy to eighty thousand rupees have already been collected ; and Calcutta and other great cities have also responded nobly to the appeal of the Famine Relief Committee. In the north-west the showers of rain that have lately refreshed the earth have, it is hoped, saved the spring crop ; and, bad as our situation is, the worst, we believe, is already known." Lord Canning was expected to reach Benares on his return to Calcutta on the 12th instant ; he will, it is said, pay a flying visit to Lucknow, and be in the presidency by the end of the month. A small expedition of 1,000 men has been despatched into Sikkim, with the Hou. Ashley Eden as political agent ; but the annexation of the country will, it is said, be unnecessary, terms of I peace having been proposed by the Sikkimites and accepted by Lord Canning. The well-known Colonel Brasyer, who took so conspicuous a part in hunting down the rebels, asserts positively that Nana Sahib is still alive, and in the Nepaul Hills, watching his opportunity. Sir George Clerk is on his way from Gogo to Kurrachee. It is expected that the railway from the latter port to Kotree will be opened while his excellency is in Scinde ; and thus the difficult navigation at the mouth of the Indus will be avoided, and a ready outlet provided for the vast commerce of Upper India. An important meeting has been held in Bombay, to expose the systematic frauds committed in the electric telegraph department. Enormous specula tions in opium, the profits of which may be counted by lees of rupees, have been carried on it seems by means of the falsification of telegraphic messages; and, in fact, so common is corruption in the department that merchants dare not now use the wires for fear of being swindled. A committee of members of the Chamber of Commerce has been formed to as certain whether any way can be found of checking the evil. The cutting of the electric wire in the jungles, for the purpose of reading off the messages by an instrument taken to the spot, is a true story. An agreeable excursion has been made from Bombay to the great Bhore Ohaut Railway works, which are now fast approaching completion, and will, the engineers promise, be all ready next year. 00XIIKRCIAL.

A man* ago the presence of the prince would have been ungrateful, and therefore it was prudent? y postponed. His conduct in Tuscany, his wish and efforts for the peace of Villafranca, the part he took in settling by his signature the fron tiers between us and Austria, when be heedlessly abandoned the three Mantuan districts beyond the Po, where Austria still keeps her footing in Italy —these were good reasons for looking coldly upon his coming. But now by his frank speech in the French Senate be has nearly removed our anti pathy ; he has made a virtue of necessity, and has esoovised at last the genuine national feeling on which the Italian revolution is based. It may be said that he has renounced his hope of becoming the King of Etraria, that he has abdicated iu favour of the kingdom of united Italy, and that he desired to proclaim this change in his send meats before setting out on his journey to Piedmont. Now his presence will not give rise to the suspicions and feelings of aver sion it otherwise would most assuredly have done. But as Prince Napoleon has abdicated, may not the same be said of Prince Murat 1 The cards have now been shown, and the confessions of the Frenchman, Ureter, and of Vavtlandt, prove Dumas the novel-writer to be an agent of Murat's, as I had suggested to you a month ago. The hand ful of Sicilian separatists who wish, no matter at what sacrifice, to have a King of their own, arc also in relations with the agents of Murat, bo th being assisted by the Bourbon faction, whose maxim still is, divide et impera. In the month of March, 1848, Venice was won derfully liberated from the Austrian yoke, and the chief author of the prodigy was Daniel Manin. It did not happen, however, in the fulness of time, so Venice relapsed beneath the Austrian rule, and Manin died in exile. No contemporary, no histo rian will ever gainsay that great dead, unfortunate though it was in the end. Accordingly, in the course of this month the anniversary of that great event is to be solemnly held, and a monument is to be inaugurated in memoriam of the Venetian advocate. The extraordinary news from Warsaw has roused public attention here. People ask how it is that the Poles, who in the great convulsion of 1848 were nearly the sole people who remained immovable and insensible, now suddenly wake up once more when France is no longer uttering stereotyped phrases in their favour, as she used to do in the times of Louis Philippe ; now, too, that no one was think ing particularly about them f But Italy even in 1848, de fi ed her oppressors. We also ask how it is that Russia, powerful Russia, should be suppress ing that movement in so gentle a manner? Is there a secret thought of taking away from Austria, here after, the slice of Poland she now possums, from Prussia the other slice, and then of reconstructing the kingdom of Poland with a second son of the Romanoff race for its king ? Austria is in a state of decrepitude, and she must make up her mind to see the fragments of a ruined and once mighty edifice used as materials for new structures •, her obstinacy in wishing to patch up what is thoroughly dilapidated will but precipitate the fall. Now that diplomacy has resigned itself to the spectacle of a resurgent Italy, it may feel the same resignation when wit nessing the disappearance of Austria, I mean of the Austrian empire together with the throne of the Spanish Bourbons. Wo expect shortly the presence here of a French ambassador. They are making extensive prepa rations in the palace of the French legation. I cannot say whether the Baron de Talleyrand is to fill the post or not. About the end of this week or the beginning of the next the Chamber of Deputies will vote on the ministerial proposition to d ec l are Victor Emmanuel 11. the King of Italy. As soon as the two branches of the legislature have given their sanction the government will send an official communication of it to all foreign courts, when acknowledgments or rejections will follow on their part, and we shall be able to distinguish between our friends and our enemies. The fortress of Civitelbi, in the Abruzzi, still holds out. The new general Mezzacapo (who suc ceeded Pinelli), on learning that he had been accused of indolence, wished suddenly to attempt a coop de main, though without proper means to ensure sue cess: he sent three columns to the assault, but each storming party was repulsed. The lotus has been trifling, but the Minister of War is dissatisfied with the general, for he had no right to attempt to storm a fortress before lie was quite certain of success. The fortress is armed with heavy ordnance, which we, the besiegers, at present do not possess, but in a few days this want will be supplied. Before long it is not unlikely that Count Cavour will take the portfolio of Finance and give up that of the Navy, as I wrote you word before ; but the matter is not yet finally settled. The nomination of President of the Chamber will take place in a few days ; all the ministerialists will not vote for Signor Rattazzi, but the minister hopes the majo. rity will give him their support in this act of conciliation. LAW INTELLIGENCE. (THIS DAY.) EQUITY COURT. (Before Vice-Cheeeellor Sir W. P. Woad.) OTACKHOOKE V. MP COUNTEBB or 3EB6ET.—DINPOerre OP IDISZDH WITH BANISH/W. The Vice-Chancellor gave judgment in this ease, which raised a question of some interest to the commercial world, inasmuch as it touches upon the security of equitable mort gages by deposit to • considerable extent. His Honour commenced his judgment by stating that Mrs. Stackhouse was, prior to her rnarriege, the owner of a sum of 1,000/., which she entrusted to her brother-ice-law, Buller, en attorney, to invest upon mortgage for her. Buller invested the amount, together with manes the property of his wife, upon the mortgage of certain real estate belong*. to a r. Cox at 5 per cent. interest, the mortgaged estate being conveyed to Buller as mortgagee. Upon the completion of this transaction, Buller wrote a letter to Mrs. Stackhouse, informing her how her money had been invested, that it had been invested together with money belonging to her sister, and that such investment had been taken in Buller's name. At this stage his Honour was of opinion that there was a clear declaration of trust by Buller m favour of MN. Stackhouee. Some time after this, in the year 1854, Buller deposited the deeds relating to prosecutrix's pro. party, including the mortgage to himself, with Messrs. Child, the bankers, who were defendante in the present snit, to secure a sum due to or advanced by him. Childs had no knowledge or notice that Buller was not what on the tam of the deeds he appeared to be, the boot fide bet.. ficial owner of the mortgage security. The mortgagor had since paid off the mortgage, and the question was who was entitled to the money, the claimants being Mrs. Stackhouse, on the one hand, and on the other Messrs. Child. If there were no other facts in the case than those already stated, it was the Vice-Chan. minor's opinion that the question to be decided between Mrs. Stackhouse and the Childs would be one admitting of an easy solution. Union some negligence could be shown on Mrs. Stackhouse's part, she was undoubtedly entitled to the money secured by the mortgage. Both Mrs. Stackhouse and Messrs. Child were equitably entitled, only neither of their interests were clothed with the legal estate, and hence, freed or negligence wanting, the maxim " qui prior est tempore prior est jute" applied. Fraud was not suggested in the present case on Mrs. Stackhowee's part, but it had been said it placing in Bullet ' s of po wer the means of com mitting fraud, there she was guilt y negligence. This point, however, was not in his Honour's view made out ; Buller was Mrs, Stackhome's trustee ; she had • right, as every one bad • right, to avail herself of the machinery of a trustee for the investment of her monies. In this case there was an especial reason for her so doing, for the money was in. vested as one sum with other money to which she was not entitled. There was not only a right in Mrs. Stackhouse to take the course which she bait!, but the course taken by her was sot an unusual, indeed, not an uncommon one. Stinted money were frequently lent on mortgage which were the aggregate of smaller amounts belonging to different persons, asd in such oases the mortgagee were almost as frequently taken in the name of a trustee. And however the declare time of trust were made in Rich a case, they were certain, in all well-considered transactions, to be made iu such& way that no notice of the trust would appear on the title. Hence, so fur as the facts stood upon the bare deposit of the title deeds, Mrs. Blockhouse was entitled to recover. The question in this ?SAO did not stand there, but was complicated in part by the frame of the suit, and is part by the steps which had been taken by the different parties; since its commencement. His Honour entered minutely into these circumstances, which were of no public interest, and, although giving rise to some difficult questions of law, were of such specialty as to he neither interesting sot instructive to the general reader. After going into these details, and referring to some decisions bearing upon the complications to which they gave rise, his Honour came to the conclusion that nothing had been done by Mrs. Stackhouse sufficient to take from her her priority, and that, therefore, she was entitled to recover, but he con sidered that the case had so varied from its original simplicity by the steps which had been taken, that no cods should he given on either side. Mr. Bolt, Mr. Roupell, and Mr. Sbomberg appeared for the parties. THE POLICE COURTS. (THIS DAY.) MARLBOROIJGRATREET. PERMONATDia A COTIVITCOURT O►►ICER. William Zaldoa, a respectable looking man, described as an accountant, of Vincent•spiere, Westminster, was charged before Mr. Tyrebitt with emlesvouring to obtain by false pretences the sum of 31. at 3, New Cavendishstieet, from Janette Warner Cathrey, and with representing himself as an officer of the Westminster County Court. Mrs. Cathrey said—The prisoner milled on me to collect a debt for a Mot. Lilly, a greengrocer. He asked if I was Mrs. Warner, and I told him I was. He then asked if I was immediately prepared to pay the amount of the bill. or he should (pointing to the door) "put the man in." I told him I was ill, but that I would go into the City the next day and get the money. He said the amount of the debt was 1/. 3e. ltd., but knowing that all I owed was P.M., I asked what the 3.. was far. He replied, "for the exc. =Mon." He produced no paper at that time. I told him if he called the next day I should be prepared to pay him. I live in the Blooomabury district, and Mrs. Lilly in the Westminster district. When the prisoner left I went to the Marylebooe County Court, and there ascertained that there was no bong fide execution out against me. This I was itiformol by one of the officers of the court, who said no execution had been 'cared over from the Westminster County Court. 3lv auspicien was created by a summons having once before been served at the suit of Mrs. Lilly, through the proper means. The prisoner bad told me • lie was no oflieer of "the court," hut did not say whi7h. I have ascertained that the prisoner as not an officer of the Westminster Comity Court. According to arrangement, the pri , onet idled yeoterday. He banded me a paper (a judgment sum• mons of the Weetminster County Court, without Rol, and evidently surreptitiously obtainer'''. I took the paper, and told him that as it had not been preeeuted through tl li s: ui sroper officer I should not per him, and a detain the paper as proof. (In this the prisoner snatched at the paper, hut only s ucceeded in getting one.lialf of it. As 1 had been told Meal ronld give him in charge for attempting to obtain 41.1 . by false d pre ebta. tenoee, I did so. I knew the prisoner to be a collector of _ . t4ismnel Pester, an officer of the Bloomsbury County Court for the last twelve years) sabl—The law provides an arrangeir.ent between the Bloomsbury County Court and the WeatminsterCounty Court, and an execution to be pen ea in the district of the Bloomsbury County Court mtp.tlo handed over to one of its officers. The prisoner is not an officer of either court. . _ - Thomas Cathrev, son of the first witness, said mitouser remarked when given into custody, "I have obtained no money." Committed for trial.
