. I .14 14 . , - DINNSR TO LORD Horror SHIELDS. r IR 111 —mor--- A dinette was given to Lord Hetrick and Mr. Lambton at North 'Melds, on Monday last. After the customary loyal toasts, The Calmest** proposed the " Health of Lord Howick ; may be take the lead, keep it, and win' easy!" (('heers.) Lard Howie' rose, and spoke as follows :_Gentlemen, for the , honour you have conferred upon me by the as-sembly of such • company as I see around me, and for the very flat loving manner in which you have just drank my health, I return yaw my moat sincere and hearty dislike. 1 regret that I have it not in my power to offer some more substantial proof of my grati tude than mere words can affiad ; but I trust that the issue of the present contest will raise use to a situation in which I may brenabled, by my public conduct, to show myself not altogether endestrying of the repeated and disinguished marks of yourtonti. dance anti approbation, which since I hest came forward to solicit she honour of your puppet, I have continued to receive. tap. .please.) Even should the result of the contest be different to that which I anticipate—should 1, contrary, I may say, to every seasonable calculation, experience the bitter motti6cation of • de feati--the impression which your kindness has made upon my :mind will never be obliterated ; and I shall ever continue to take the deepest in the welfare of the county of Northumberland, end more especially of North Shields. (Cheers.) It is therefore, Gentlemen, with the deepest concern that I have Izarnt that the shipping interest, on which the prosperity of this town mainly de. petti, has been for some time put in a state of extreme de pression. Nor is this to be regretted solely on account of the distress which it immediately occasions. It is only by the prospe rity of oar commercial marine that our navy can be maintained. It is ors) in the mercantile service that those skilful and hardy meanies have been trained, whose valour has hitherto enabled the Brttish flag to ride in triumph over the o.:ean. If this supply be eat off, it our commercial marine be suffered to fall into decay, we must bid farewell for ever to that naval superiority which has been for years the boast of Britain, and the envy of her ene mies ; we may still be unri called for the number and the excellence of oar ships, but they will be mere useless masses of wood and ivoo, like thehuge frame of a giant, deprived of the animating spirit which should have given energy to its mighty limbs. (Cheers.) Hence, Gentlemen, the new regulations with regard to the admin. aion of foreign shipping to our pone inspires me not only with concern for the numerous and important elms who are the imme. (Blue sufferers, but with the utmost anxiety and alarm for the to. tare honour and safety of the kingdom. (Loud cheers.) The principle that perfect freedom of trade would be most conducive to the national interest, may in irself be undeniable ; but this is not bee trade—this is not admitting the fair competition of foreigner,. It is compelling our countrymen, tied and bound with the chain of taxation and restrictions, and borne down by the weight of their fetters, to contend with the untaxed and unrestricted foreigner.— (Cheers.) From a fair competition, the intelligence of the British capitalist. seconded by the mechanical skill and industry of our artisans, leaves him nothing to air ; but he is now doomed to a bootlegs struggle, of tallith defeat and ruin are the certain conse quence.. (Cheery.) At the same time, Gentlemen. I don't believe that • recurrence to the old system would be sufficient to enable our commercial marine to arrive at the highest point of prosperity to which it is capable of attaining. %When I see the distress which has lately been so generally felt. I am con winced that some gene ral timed must be applied. The true cause of our di ffi culties is, In any ion, to he found in the heavy demands of the State upon the of the national intlustty ; and it is only by diminish. pos i e beglebiletionand, by taking off the load of taxes by which we are Clr, that we :tan hope to be effectually relieved. tCheert.) e d can Dever hope to see accomplished until our expenditure Is put upon a very different footing. Every useless place and pen. eien GUls* be abolished, and the most strict and unsparing economy introduced into every department of the State. That no effort of mine shall ever be wanting to bring about so desirable a change, I ' treat I need sot assure you ; and I also trust that is no less need less Its me. on the present occasion, to enter into any explanation of my political sentiments. (Cheers.) I have already had more than one opportunity of fully declaring them, and I hope I have done se in a manner so explicit that no freeholder can accuse one of haying deceived him, or of having left him in doubt of my real opinion upon any important question. Nor will 1 make any ani madversions upon any of the other candidates for the honour of representing you. - I trust it is not necessary for me to do so in order to raise my own cause, and an occasion will soon occur when we shall all meet face to face in the presence of the freeholders, and whatever complaints any of the patties have to to ike of me, may then be openly and fairly discussed. His Lord. ship, after expressing his gratitude for the support he had received, end driuking the hcalths of the company, sat down amid much applause. - . The health of Mr. Limit oN being proposed, that Gentleman I I rose and addressed the company in nearly the following terms : I Gentlemen and Brother-Freeholders of Northumberland,—l beg to offkr you my sincere and heartfelt thanks for the very kind and cordial manner in which you have been pleased to drink the toast which our worthy Chairman has proposed for your consideration ; and I can assure you that every exertion which the state of my health will allow me to use, will be cheerfully made, in conjunc tion with the Committee wh ich has done me the honour of appoint. tog one its Chairman, and with the freeholders. At large, and that I ' will never rest until we have placed the cause of Lord Ilowick in that Marion of proud preeminence to which it never should have Wan doubted for one instant it would teach. If any assurance were Wanted to convince myself and others, who have not as yet mixed re Chia contest, of the soundness of the freeholders of Northumber. land in favour of Liberty and Howiek, I find that assurance in the reception we have met with this day. I should have been astonished if that noble river the Tyne, which flows beneath your walls, and separates you from South Shields, should separate you in princi ple, in feeling, from that body of men whom I have always found ' the glorious and determined supporters of liberty. I knew you were the same. It was said this was the strong hold of our oppo nents, and that we should torte only a feeble reception ; but I said, if I know any thing of the brave anti hardy seamen of the North, I tab sues you have only to show yourself to meet with the reception which ought always to attend the son of Charles Grey. (Much &tiering.) I appeal to you all, did I deceive Lord Howick and the Committee ? Was I not right in saying so ? Look at the im itatives population who came out to receive us—look at the windows filled with all its fair end beautiful inhabitants, their eyes beaming welcome on us, and cheering us in the arduous contest in which we are engaged; and can we for a moment doubt that we shall be where we ought is be—at the head of the poll ? Gentlemen, you are now called upon to exercise a most important duty, and you must weigh well the dirties imposed upon you. If you expect to be served well and faithfully, you must elect men who will give up all corrupt allurements and advocate only the rights and liberties of the people; you must confer upon them that reward and distinction to which they ate entitled ; and I now say that opportunity is affertled you, when, after a long life of forty years of inibllo seeviee, spurning all the allurements of Courts, and Knags, and Ministers, shrinking not from the greatest per seettil naaffiees. refusing, as he has done, to my know lease, repeated temptations of entering Administration, be. craw not allowed to go into them without the enforcement of his priseiplea, having spurned all these having adopted this line of anodise , . Lord Grey is now presented to you,- asking oily this re wad, asking you to place his eon in that proud and noble situation ---Me Meet glorious an Englishman an fill—the representation of the county in Parliament. (Loud applause.) Gentlemen, Ido not suspect that you will prove to the wield deficient in gratitude. I never bed such a thought. If I had, I should blush for the name of a Northumberland freeholder. I will not suppose such degene racy—l will not anticipate such a result., it uses always been my doeirine, that a roan entering into public life should present himself oa all proper and consututional opportunities before the public, and those whole suffrages he solicits. It has been my counsel to my noble 'relation, who is now before you, to take this rule for the at dan ce of Lis conduct; and as long us I shall hold the respond tputuan which 1 now fill in his Committee. I shall always so ad • him. Acting on that principle, at has been determined to patient a rerluisalon wale High Sheriff, to call the freeholders of the county together, to declare who are fit to represent noes in Parliament. 'I he e Sheriff has, I am informed, acceded to the re. qiiiiiiien, but a day has nut yet been appointed. I believe, how ever, ft will take place in the early part of next week. The propri et of this measure must be apparent to every one, for it is mopes. itai that the freeholders can weigh well the merits of the different al, ates without it. Many of sour votes °tight otherwise be (gaged foe private reaeuna, and without reference to the public merits of the candidates, and their pretensions on public grounds to represent you In the Senate. Now, any noble te'ati• ais most. anxi ous to meet them. He would, indeed, be a degenerate scion of the house of (hey if be were afraid of meeting the free karma. But if there bo any candidates who are averse to such a I know not what their friends may say in theitlexcuse, but than will say, that it must appear extremely suspicious. (Loud app tiateei) (bough the measure of exiling the freeholders together WI cause gruniblings in private, and repinings amongst those who knew that public discussions must prove unfavourable to their they dare not deny drat it is the only true and constitu- mode of proeeediog, that has been observed and sanctioned td lIL time, in Northumberland and in every county in England.

When in addition to these tits limbs, we look for the head, and find amongst their most active writers and supporters the Kadi. cal leader of the meeting on the Town-moor, 1 say there never was a greater monster of coalition presented to the publi:. (Loud laughter, and cries of hear.) It is not for me to say who is right or who is wrong. It requires no logical argument to 'thew that one party must be wrong. Ail I ask is this,—will Mr. Beaumont only publish the correspondence that took place relative to his conduct to the family of Sir John Swinburne, and let the freeholders judge who was right and who was wrong ? (Cheer) 1 ask nothing more on the part of those with whom lam connected. Let us have an end to this mystery. In justice to all parties, in justice to the freeholders, this must be done sooner or later, and therefore let it be done with a good grace at once. (Applause.) I will now no tice another subject. I deem it of importance to state to you, that most unworthy means have been used to prejudice the cause of lord Hetrick in the minds of the freeholders. They have been told that it was never his intention to come forward, and that he was not in earnest in soliciting their suffiages. And I know that not only many votes were taken away by those means, but that many who intended to support him were induced by these misre presentations to favour his opponents. I say that conduct was most unworthy and most improper, and that no freeholtier can consider a promise given under such a delusion binding upon him. Gentle. apemen, a great many of you are connected with the shipping in terest, and I will only say to you, that if you were about to man a ship to sail to a distant clime laden with the produce of the industry of England. your first object would be to provide • steady and pro. per crew. lou would not go to the Thames 'mermen, with their painted wherries and flimsy oars, but to that race of men who have buffeted the elements, and contended against the storm—to the stout and strong seamen of the North—men who have been used to all the dangers of the seas, and who are of a stock whose valour and courage have been proved for generations. (Applause.) So, I ray, look not to any shallow and empty pretensions to your favours, but to the good old stock of Grey, who have been trium phant in every storm, who have thriven with the prosperity of Northumberland, and have never abandoned her when clouds hung over her and she was exposed to dangers and difficulties. (Loud cheers.) It is now not quite seven years since Lord Grey and myself returned from Parliament to this neighbourhood. We were told that the mea of the North were in rebellion, and that grey were united in societies to overturn the Constitution. I was told that my property was to be partitioned—that on my re:urn I should find others enjoying it. (Much laughter.) What was my answer? I said, ~ I don't believe it; but if it be true, I would much rather my properly should be partitioned among my friends in the North than among the curruptionists of the House of Commons." (Much laughter and applause.) I was told that there were 100,000 men in inns amongst you ; but I knew you were true and loyal to the King—true to your Sovereign and loyal to the Constitution and liberties of the country ; and I was not deceived, for such I found you. Our reception was most warm and enthusiastic, and such as, I may say, we had fairly merited. Have we not then a right to ex pect that as we then stood forward in favour of your chmacter, you will now support us, and take this opportunity of honouring the father in the person of his son? (Applause.) lam afraid I shall weary you, and I shall now, therefore, come to the toast which I am requested by the Chairman to propose to your con'iderstion.— It is one which is closely counected with the shipping interests of this town—one on which I feel deeply. and which has already been dwelt upon by my noble relative with that eloquence and modesty which I admire in him, and from which I augur that he will follow in the footsteps of his noble father. I know he is well-grounded in constitutional knowledge, and he has shewn us that he does not want eloquence to express his sentiments. (Ap plause.) I feel that, in proposing the toast entrusted to me, I shall do little more than repeat the observations that have already fallen from him on the same subject. I admit that the ma nufacturing and agricultural interests of this country are of the highest importance. God forbid that I should ever withhold my support front any measure that would continue those interests on that eminence on which they are placed. But I contend that those interests never would have attained that eminence, had it not been for our marine. What is it that supports those interests? The safety of the shipping interest. I, therefore, view with alarm those measures which tend to constitute a very doubtful experi ment, which may be very beneficial to the shipping interest if suc cessful, but which, if the resell: should be unfavourable. may strike deeply at the root of the vital existence of England. I ask you to reflect upon one thing. What was it, that, when the standard of that great but ambitious man—for he was both—Napoleon was carried in triumph front the walls of Lisbon to Vienna, to Berlin, and even to Moscow—what, when every power in Europe quailed before hint, what enabled us to withstand his mighty power? What but the Union jack of England (loud cheers), carrying in triumph our gallant soldiers over those seas over which we then held entire and undisputed dominion ? I therefore dread every measure that can tend to injure the state of our marine, or lessen our naval superiority. If we look at France, her extended coast, her splendid harbours, and immense population, and reflect tl.at for a length of time she has been endeavouring to establish • marine equal to this country—when I see a country originally connected with us, of our own blood, our own spirit—America— rapidly approaching us in the extent of its proud power—when I know that our enormous taxation, and public expenditure render it impossible for us to compete with the foreigner in the building, equipment, or manning of our ships, I do feel the greatest dread lest any thing should occur to weaken or destroy those naval energies which have rendered England the arbiter of the destinies of Europe. (Cheers.) It is in vain attempting to urge these topics in Parliament; the shipping interest and the navy were not in fashion in the House, though Huskisson and theory were, and it was only with great difficulty a hearing could be obtained. I have had communications with Mr. Lyall, the Chairman of the meeting of Shipowners, and expressed my concurrence in the adoption of measures to consolidate the interests of the shipowners, &off to supply their friends with such information as would enable them to meet the statements put forward by Ministers. I have said thus much to you, because I know that these are times when many theories are afloat, and I may be supposed to be departing from the liberal principles which I have on all occasions been In the habit of supporting. But reflecting that there arc many things which, though they may be very tempting in theory, and beautiful in philosophy,which would be very dangerous in practice,l am afraid this will be case with the shipping interest. All I beg is, that if experiments are to be tried, at any rate do not begin with that which is the very vital principle of our national existence. (Cheers.) I shall now conclude by proposing to you a toast which is intimately connected with those that have preceded it, be I feel quite convinced that if my noble relation be returned to Parliament, he will pay that attention to the subject which he ought to give it. not only on account of its importance, but asa debt of gratitude to the shipowners of Shields, which his reception this day has been so well calculated to increase. I give you, Gentlemen, " This Ship ping interest of Shields, and improvement to it." The Honourable Gentleman than sat down, amidst the most en. thusiamic applause. Several other toasts were drank, and the evening passed with much hilarity. TO THE EDITOR OF THE BRITISH PRESS [The following Is the Letter referred to in $ Leading Article of our Journal yesterday, and by mistake omitted.) Srn—Your correspondent Q. has ably exposed the sophistries of Mr. Forbes, the American Consul ; tor, ridiculous as that docu cument is, it is undoubtedly genuine. His meat ing is, that there is only La Maria da Gloria cruising from Cape St. Antonio to Cape Virgin. This immense coast has nothing to do with Buenos Ayres or with commerce, and the La Maria da Gloria is not there for the purpose of blockade. Had Mr. Forbes said there was r o ship blockading that coast, he would have said truth, nor is that coast included in the pmclamation of Adm. Lobo. The Maria da Gloria is in pursuit of privateer*, who having no port to return to, plunder the vessels, and then cast them away on the Patagonian shore: for which mode of warfare I trust the Brazil Admiral will hang them up to the-yard-arm, when he catches them. But all this has no re ference to the blockade. 'The condom of Buena, Ayrei, equally rub arid perfidious, has placed that " sister republic," as Mr. totbes calls het, in a situa tion most harassing to his fraternal feelings. Iler revenue cannot be said to be diminished, because all algebraists know that nothing Is Incommensurable with something, and her present quarterly in come is XllOl. 04. Meanwhile, a storm is gathering, well meriting the observation of the curious. The regions west of Brazil, north of Humes Ayres, and south-east of Upper Peru, are peopled by Indian nations, some sedentary and decendent, some warlike, but the most considerable uniting w a with husbandry, under the tuition of the Catholic Padres. This territory comprises Santa Cruz de la Sierra of Upper Peru, Corrientes, Santa Fe, and Entre Rios of the Buenos Ayres league, the :110110A. and Chiquitos, and lastly Pats. guay. Under the auspices of the Paraguay Dictator, a union of feeling has arisen among these nations, which will probably soon break out into action. The design, as I conceive, is to make an Indian league under the protection of an Inca, and to this design Don Pedro, who had many grave reasons for disapproving it, is now literally forced, by the conduct of the La Plata Congress, to lend his sanction ; and the Emperor will probably become the me• (Bator arid protector of the Paraguay league. In Paraguay the number of warriors trained to atms is equal to that of the adults, for military education keeps pace with religious and agricultural, under the Padres. The Chiquitne, • nation of Christian warriors, whose prolTered allegiance Don Pedro last year declined, consisted in Ulloa's days of 4,200 families, and must now be greatly in. creased, as their civilization was then in its infancy. In the regions above enumerated there are not Creoles enough to make a mouth ful for the Ind ins; and if La Franries lag be unfurled, which I suspect It is s. this moment when I write, the La Plata confederacy will be exposed to no ordinary dangers. On the south-west WA of the river, the Pagan Indians willobey, the call which invokes */ Aborigines to arms.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, FRIDAY, JUNE 9. This day was appointed for hearing arguments on rules for new trials, but owing to the absence of Counsel on the different elec tions, the Court were only able to proceed on two, which were of no public interest. The LOAD CHIEF JUSTICE Imposed a hope that gentlemen who were concerned in new trials fyom the Home Circuit would be ready in as many of them as possible to-morrow ' • for, looking at the bar (the benches of which were very thin) and knowing, as his Lordship did, what was at present going on throughout all parts of England, he feared the Court would be able to do but little in the present term. The Court then proceeded to give judgments. MARSH, FAUNTLEROV, AND CO.'S COMMISSION. DUGAN V. HOLLAND AND OTHERS. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE—This case came before us on a special case, which was so recently argued, that I need not now ad vert very fully to the circumstances. The bankrupts, Messrs. Marsh, Stracey, and Fauntleroy, hod been bankers to the Com missioners for paving the estate of Joseph LUCAS, Esq. They had not been appointed in writing, nor was there any other evidence of their being so than a continued employment of them as such. They had been employed by the Commisatoners as their bankers in the ordinary way in which individuals employ bankers. A pass-book was kept, which went backwards and forwatds as is usual, and en tries were made of moneys received and paid in the way in which the ordinary course of business is conducted. One question was, whether these gentlemen, the house of Marsh, St:acey, and Faunt leroy, were persons within the meaning of the statute of 57th Geo. 3d., so as that upon their bankruptcy their assign :es should be obliged to pay to the Commissioners the full amount of the money they had paid into the bankrupts' hands. There is a local Act be sides, and upon a former occasion (Frost v. Bolland) in the course of the present term, in an action against the same defendants, the Court intimated an opinion that the parties were at liberty to act under the provisions of each of these Acts of Parliament, accordingly las they might think fit. I think it appeared further, that prior to the 57th Geo. 11 1. Mr.F. bad alone been appointed treasurer at a meet ing of the trustees, but his appointment was not signed by any of those trustees except the ('hairman ; and under the Local Act it was directed that the appointment of a treasurer or treasurers should be in writing tinder the hands of live or more of the trustees. Under the 57th Geo. 111. the appointment of offices is not required to be in that formal manner; but it does not appear that the circumstance of Mr. Fauntleroy being treasurer is material in this case, as he never acted as such during the period ornate when the transaction took place, which gives me to the present question. Now, in the Local Act upon the present occasion there is no men tion made of bankers, as there was in the General Act; and the question arises whether the bankrupts came under the description of " other persons," referred to in the General Act of the 57th George 111. Now, it appears by the 47th section of that Act (which I believe was not adverted to in the argument), that the Legislature supposed money might be received by and paid into' the hands of some person who was not the treasurer; for there is a provision that the collectors of rates shall weekly and every week pay over to the treasurer, or to suck other person or persons as the Commissioners shall direct, all such rates : and I have already in timated, that, in fact, these moneys were paid into this banking house in the ordinary way. Then conies the 51st section, on which this case turns; and that enacts, that in case any treasurer or treasurers, collector or collectors, officer or other person. appointed for the collection or receipt of any moneys, under and by virtue of any such rate or rates, shaH happen to die or become bankrupt before ha orthey shall have fully paid over and accounted for such rates or assessments received for or on account of the commissioners, then the executors in case of death, or the assignees in case of bankruptcy, are to pay over to the commis sioners, or sucn other persons sadiey shall direct, all such sum or SUMS as shall be collected or received by such treasurer or treasurers, &c. or other person or persons so appointed by the commissioners, which shall be due and owing to the commissioners or trustees by whom they shall be so appointed. Ist, It was contended that these bankers could not be considered as persons appointed; but as they were appointed as such, and the appointment need not be in writing by the General A ct.itlappears to us that the employment in that cha racter, warranted by the statute, was equivalent to an appointment ; and therefore we are of opinion there is no objection on that ground. Then another point was made as to whether these two suits of money received by the bankrupts were received as rates; and here again I may advert to the 51st section, by which the provision is not confined to moneys received on account of rates, but says "all moneys received on account of rates," and goes on " or for or on account of the corn. tuissionen or trustees." The smaller sum of two hundred and odd pounds was received in respect of rates. The larger sum is not stated to have been received es rates, either mediately or home. diately, because it appears that some time before the bankruptcy the commissioners had paid into the hands of the bankrupts 1,700 L in Exchequer Bills, for which they had given a receipt, so stating. It further appears that these Exchequer Bills had been sold by their, and produced 17501. 17a. 3d. ; therefore the proceeds of the Exchequer Bills must be considered as money received for and on account of the owners of there Exchequer Bills. For these rea sons we are of opinion that a verdict must be entered for the plaintiff for both these sums I and as they were dealing with the house at large, we think the money ought to come out of the estate at large, and not out of the separate estate and effects of 111 r.

Mr. KELLY resumed his observations this day, supported in his appeals to the mercy of the ('ourt by Mr. Gunning. Both gentle men admitted that an answer had been given to .the allegations of the libel, but urged that as the defendant had acted under the be lief that the accusation against Mr. Owen was true, the Court wiiuld be induced to pass a lenient sentence on a man who had forted from such an impulse as the deepest wrongcould alone excite. Mr. H. C. HOIBIXSON was now heard in aggravation of the punishment, and after going through the whole of the affidavits on each side, contended that their Lordships must he convinced Mr. Owen's reputation passed harmless from the vile aspersions of the defendant. If, however, their Lordship passed a light sentence on the defendant, it must necessarily appear to the public that the prosecutor was guilty of the charge imputed to him. After their Lordships had consulted together for a short time, Mr. Justice BAYLEY pronounced the judgment of the Court. He observed that it was at the defendant's own instance he was not now brought up to this Court for the purpose of receiving jutig. ment. The Court could not for a moment doubt but that the libel Which he had published was calculated to create the strongest prejudice against Mr. Owen, and to cast upon him the blackest stigma as a Minister of the Gospel ; and believing, as far as it was possible to ascertain the truth among so man y conflicting a ffi davits, that the libel was unwarranted in the attack which it made, the Court passed sentence upon the prisoner, of six months' Naha imprisonment in the gaol of Norwich. TIIE ITNOU. TIIE JUSTICES OF NORFOLE. Mr. Sea YLETT moved for a mandamus to be directed to certain Justices of the county of Norfolk, directing them to appoint certain persona named in the affidavit, in support of this application, an Inspectors of weights, balances, and measures, in the parish of North Wolohan', trt the beforementioned county. The application was made upon the It2d (Jeo. 111., within the operation of which the parish in questiou had placed itself by getting its weights and measures from the Exchequer; and that Act provided, that if it is the desire of the majority of the inhabitants of any parish or township to have an inspector of weights and measures for their pariah. distinct from the district, it shall be lawful for such inhabi tants, at a vestry duly holden for that purpose, to nominate one or more householder or householders, to fill aJch offices ; and it shall be lawful for the Magistrates of the district, in Petty Session, to applove and appoint such person or persons so nominated. In this instance the Magistrates refused to approve and appoint the persons nominated, because they were shopkeepers who had occasion to use weights and measures themselves. The question was, whether the Magistrates, haring a discre,ion to exer cise, had a power to refuse appointing such persons as had been nominated by the vestry, for the reason alleged ? The Cou RT was of opinion that the Magistrates had a discretion to exercise under the Act of Parliament, aid a mandamus would not lie to control that discretion.—Rule rt fated. LAUGHER V. POYNTER. This was an action in the case for an injury to the plaintiff 's horse, and the 9uestion involved was thought deserving of con ' sideration by the Twelve Judges. The facts were shortly these:— The defendant, a gentleman living in the country. had come up to London with his own carriage, and hired of a livery-stable-keeper • pair of horses for the day, the livery-stable-keeper sending his own servant to drive the carriage. In the course of the journey, performed in the day, the driver injured the plaintiff's horse, by tanning the defendant's carriage against it. The question was. whether the defendant was liable for the injury occasioned by tl.e negligence of the person who drove the carriage. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE, at the trial before before him in Middlesex, about twelve months since, was of opinion that the action was not maintainable, and therefore directed a nonsuit. A motion having been made fur a new trial, the Court desired the ease to be argued before the Twelve Judges, and it was argued accordingly. The Judges of this Court now delivered their opinion set-tatting, and being equally divided, no final judgment was given. The Loan CHIEF JUSTICE anti 51r. Justice LITTLEDALE were of opinion, that the person who drove the defendant's carriage could not be considered as the defendant's hired servant, and con sequently nr was not liable for his negligence. They put the case upon the analogy of a hackney-coachniao, a post chaise-boy, or a waterman, over whom respectively the person hiring their con veyances for a temporary occasion had no control. Mr. Justice BAYLEY and Mr. Justice 110LUOYD thought the action maintainable, inasmuch as the driver of the carriage was for the occasion as much bound to obey the orders of the hirer of the carriage, as If he were his regularly hired servant. This important matter now remains undecided. COURT OF C0M515 - Irrr — rEAS, FRIDAY, JUNE 9. This day was appointed for the hearing of special arguments. None of the causes argued contained anything of public interest. Mr. Sergeant WILDE and .Mr. Sergeant Lewes, who were se verally engaged in two causes, successively applied to the Court to postpone the hearing of them. because, having only received ingrue nous from the solicitors the night previous, they had not had time to prepare their arguments. Mr. Sergeant BOSANQUET, who was opposed to Mr. Sergeant it's Lisa, said, that, as a personal accommodation to his Learned Brother, he had no objection to the postponement of the cause. The COURT observed, that this was not a question of personal accommodation to the Gentlemen of the Bar. By this neglect or Solicitors, great injustice was done to the public, who not only thus had their causes delayed, but incurred additional and unnecessary expense. The Solicitors ought to be made to pay the costs. 'rhe LORD CHIEF JUiTICE—I should like to hear of an action being brought against Solicitors for such neglect. Mr. Justice BURROL/GH said, lie observed the whole of the record was inserted in the demurrer book, instead of those points only whieli were in issue. This practice put parties to a great ex pense, which was not necessary. The COURT agreed with Mr. Justice Burrough, and desired Solicitors to attend to his Lord.hip's suggestion. In another cause which was to have been tried at the last Summer Assizes for Gloucestershire, but in which the plaintiff had with drawn the record on the day of trial, one of the parties had paid the fees to the Special Jurors. The question now was, whether the feels ought to be allowed as costs, the case not having been tried ? The Collin' said, though the practice had been to pay the Special Jurors, they could not claim it unless the cause were tried. ASCOT HEATH RACES. 4116161 t, & _ _ _ Ni. Ores ir The comparative inferiority of the sports yesterday, as well In the nature of the stakes as the character of the horses to compete for them, had the effect of materially diminishing the number of the visitors, and of making the company less fashionable then on either of the others; but to those who had not formed part of the assemblages on the preceding days, the Heath must still have pre owned a very animated, if not a fascinating appearance. There was but little of that confusion in progressing towards the ,curse which characterized the third day ; though, from the ex • e heat of the weather, and the intolerably dusty state of the roads, the journey was sufficiently unpleasant, insomuch that there were not a few who wished they had remained at home; and really, it in a kind of debtor and creditor account, we were to set off lutainst the pleasure afforded by the rum the toil, cost, and vexation, incurred in going to and returning from diem, we fear that the former would be more than balanced by tha latter, and leave incidental disasters out of the account. While on this subject, we will mention an instance of the system of extortion practises./ on these occasions. A gentleman went to the races, on Friday, and sloped the same night at an Inn, at Englefield, where he slept. Thd charge for his bed was of course sufficiently great, but it will hardly' be believed, that besides Is. 6(1. for a feed of corn and 28.6 d. for hay, there wart an item of 10s. for the horse's bed ! nor would the innkeeper suffer the horse to leave the stable till the dr mend was complied with. This we can vouch for. His Majesty arrived on the `nurse at his usual hour, amidst the cheers of die spectators, who seemed duly to appreciate his Ma jesty's condescension in visiting the races, although there was little to amuse in the sport, which it must be confessed was but in. different. His Majesty left before the last nos, for the Royal Cottage, where there was • dinner party. His Grace the Duke of Dorset, Graves, ace. were in attendance on the King. His Royal Highnees the Duke of York Wes again a visitor to the races, as weer nearly all the noblemen and &sidemen whose names we have mentioned in our former reports.
