There is not the least doubt but that if the Men received their bounty in proportion as they completed a quarter's or six months' drill it would be easy to raise a reserve of 8,000 or even 10,000 inen within a very short space of time. Another pause which acts as a great check in the men join ing is, to use the mildest term, the spirit of dissatis faction, which it is now useless attempting to con ceal, unfortunately prevails among the seamen of the Royal Navy on the question of leave ashore. !Leave, in fact, is a mere term now, which means I ! .everything or nothing, according to the !humour of the captain or port admiral in !whose jurisdiction the ship may chance to anchor. ,'There is a rule for every possible emergency in the, service but one, and that is "leave" ashore. A squadron comes into harbour and one captain gives a whole watch, 48 hours' leave, while the captain of 'the next ship only gives 12 or lo per cent. of his watch 24 hours' leave. Some then grumble; some do worse, and are heavily punished, while the cap tains or admirals who have given rise t , ) the whole fracas point triumphantly to the ." spirit of insubor dination" as an excuse for further severities. Every well-conducted sailor should have as much right to a certain amount of leave ashore as he has to his grog, and until some decisive rule is laid down on this point we must always fear a repetition of the scenes which occurred on board the Princess Royal, and lately in the Edgar, and_ to have the raval service more or less discontented within and unpopular without. teal business has yet to bedone. It has to 'be don_ also, amid the clamour of the interests affected: As Will be seen by the extracts we today publish from. the Mon iteur Industriel, the French manufac turers, who find they have secured a.so;per cent. insteadnf only a 30 per cent. protection, are up in arms to preserve their unhoped-for good: fortune. The French papermal:crs arc no less jealous and tenacious. Everything the Emperor now does. to remedy the mistakes made by the English negotia tors•will have to be done under the difficulty of op :posing petitions. Ile must do it for own sake, and for the sake of France. If he would give the French consumer any advantage from this Treaty he must rectify its blunders, but it had been much better if the proper information had been brought to the task in the first instance. A Commission has, however, now been appointed, consistinf , of Messrs. Cobden, Ogilvy, and Mallet, to revise these obvious errors, and to do now what ought to haVe been done before the Treaty was - concluded. We hope this Commission, acting as-it will in the fulness of in formation, may reduce this Treaty to a good work ing system, which will alike satisfy the views of those. who originated it, and the legitimate interests of those who will have to conduct their business under its stipulations.— limes.

The screw steam-frigate Forte, 51, Capt. E. W. Tumour, flag of Rear-Admiral Sir H. Keppel, K.O B from Spithead, arrived on Sunday at Plymouth, on the way to the Cape of Good Hope. The paddle-wheel steam-frigate Terrible, 21, Capt. Frederick H. H. Glasse, in Plymouth Sound, is ready to sail for the Mediterranean. The screw steamship Trafalgar, 90, Capt. E. G.

The Pluto, 4, paddlewheel steamvessel, Lieut.- Commander C. H. Siinpson, arrived at Spithead early yesterday morning from the West Coast of Africa. She sailed from Sierra Leone on the 12th of March, with only 50-horse-power at work, being partially disabled. She had excessively strong gales off the Canary Islands, which compelled her to put into Santa Cruz to coal. Off the mouth of the Tagus she was again caught in a terrific gale, which compelled her to bear up for Lisbon, where she lay until the 13th. Had she rot had a port under her lee to run for, it is the opinion of the officers on board that on this occasion she must have been lost. She met with a continuance of gales until the Bay was crossed, from north to north-east. On the 16th she bore up for Vigo, where she remained at anchor until the 19th, and had no sooner sailed thence than she was again compelled to anchor under the land from the violence of the weather and her small amount of steam power. She put to sea on the fol lowing morning, when another gale compelled them to come to an anchor in Corcubion Bay, where her Majesty's steamer Medusa, Commander W. Bowden, was found at anchor, on her voyage from the West Coast to England, with her rudder damaged. She sailed on the following morning for Ferrol to pro cure a new one. The Pluto sailed from Corcubion Bay on the morning of the 24th, and on crossing the Bay on the 25th was compelled to dismount the pivot gun and send the jibboom in to make the ship snug. Afterwards the weather moderated. The Pluto sailed from England in the first instance for the West Coast of Africa on the 3d December, 1857, but, striking on a rock on reaching Sierra Leone, she returned to England for repairs, after which she again sailed for the same station on the 13th of July, 1857, since which time she has been employed on different parts of the coast. She has taken two prizes—one an empty brig without papers or, colours, condemned; and the other a fine bark with 888 slaves on board at the time of her capure, which took place on the morning of the 30th of November last, in lat. 415 S., long. 930 E. The bark was discovered soon atter daylight, about eight miles distant, with all sail set, but the Pluto having her fires banked, got up steam, and, giving chase, soon came up alongside her prize and captured her. She was afterwards sent into St. Helena and condemned. The accommodation for the slaves and the means taken to insure their health, as far as possible in a vessel of her description, are described as having been admirably arranged. She gives a good sum in prize-money to her captors. The Pluto has been remarkably healthy while on the coast, and has lost only one of her crew since leaving England, and he died from consumption. Her crew are a fine sailor looking set of men. She proceeds to Woolwich to pay off. THE ARMY. Her Majesty's screw troopship Perseverance, Commander E. W. Power, arrived at Portsmouth yesterday from the West Indies, having sailed from Jamaica on the sth of April and from Bermuda on the 14th. She brought home the head-quarters and six companies of the 41st Regiment, compris ing .—Col. J. E. Goodwyn, in command; Major IL W. Meredith ; Capts. J. E. Harvey, A. N. Fow ler, It. E. Maude, and E. L. B. Lowney ; Lieuts. H. G. Nowlan, It. Pack, and W. F. B. Michell; Ensigns H. G. L. Lynch, Charles Miller, and F. P. A. Bracken ; Paymaster James Simpson, Adjt. Isaac King, Quartermaster Charles Ward, Assist.- Surg. G. L. Hind, and Brevet Major F. E. Bligh ; 491 rank and Me, 41 women, and 83 children ; Lieut. E. J. Evans, 22d Regiment ; Lieut. F. M. Fogo, 2d West India Regiment ; Ensign S. W. Williams, 2d West India Regiment; J. Williams, Military Train, and four private passengers. The Perseverance has experienced fine weather during the passage home. Her news has been anticipated by the arrival of the Royal Mail steamer La Plata, at Southampton, on Saturday. On the 27th inst., in lat. 47 8, long. 14 57, signalled and gave longi tude to the English bark Irene, from Adelaide, bound to London ; the same day signalled a Danish bark showing a flag with No. 35 in the centre. The regiment will disembark this morning at Ports mouth, and leave for Aldershott at nine o'clock. The somewhat extraordinary circumstance of trying a private of the Royal Marines by " drum head court-martial," with the subsequent infliction of corporal punishment, occurred at Chatham yes terday morning to a private of the Royal Marine Light Infantry, named Joseph Wakefield, for a most gross act of insubordination. The prisoner, who is a man of exceedingly bad character, was tried a few days since by district court-martial for deserting from head-quarters and making away with his regimental necessaries; and, the finding of the Court having been approved by the Major-General commanding, the whole of the officers and men of the division were drawn up in the barrack-square yesterday morn ing to hear the sentence proniulgitcd. The prisoner having been marched to the centre, the sentence was read, the Court adjudging him to be branded with the letter "1) '' and to be imprisoned for 1(38 days. The instant the prisoner heard his sentence he turned round to Lieut.-Col. M'Killop and shouted out with an oath that he would not do it, but that he (Cel. M'Killop) " might do it him self," and there is no doubt he would have rushed at that officer had he not been prevented by the escort. As this flagrant act of insubordination took place in the presence of the entire division, the Commandant, Col. Rea, felt it is duty to make a prompt example of the prisoner, and at once gave orders for what is termed a "drum-head court-mar tial" to immediately assemble on the parade-ground, when the .officers who were selected to form the court-martial sentenced the prisoner to receive 50 lashes. The entire battalion then proceeded to the rear of the barracks, and, the prisoner having been stripped and fastened to the triangles, the full num ber of lashes was infEcted, the prisoner hearing his punishment without uttering a word of complaint. On being released from the halberds he was re• moved to Melville Hospital, and as soon as he is able to leave that establishment will be sent to Port Clarence to undergo the first portion of his sentence. Col. Rea afterwards assembled the division, and, addressing the men in energetic language, stated it to be his cletermirNation to suppress the slightest symptoms of insubordinatisn, and in all breaches of military discipline to carry out the law. The in fliction of corporal punishment is exceedingly rare in the Chatham division of Royal Marines. Yesterday morning the sentence of the general court-martial held at Chatham on privates Henry Cartlidge and John Sullivan was promulgated to the corps of Royal Marines, having been approved by the Lords of the Admiralty. The prisoner Cartlidge was tried for having assisted in rescuing a prisoner from the custody of the gairison picket in High-street, Chatham, ;and for having, when a prisoner, struck aqa v iolently assaulted Sergeant C. Knott, 73d,: Regiment, who had given evidence against hitn. The offences for which private John Sullivan was tried were those of having cut off the buttons from his jacket during the time he was a prisoner in the cells, of having struck Serg. G. Knott, 73d Regiment, and of having behaved with gross disrespect to Captain Nepean, Royal Marines, on the occasion of that officer visit ing him in the cells. Both the prisoners are men of exceedingly depraved character, and have been se veraal times tried by court-martial. In consequence of their threats and the general violence of their character it required 12 Marines to convey them from the guard-house to the court-martial room and during the time of their trial they were handcuffed and in charge of a double escort. They also treated the Court with great contempt. The Court sen tenced Cartlidge to be kept in penal servitude for 14 years, and Sullivan to be kept in penal servitude for 6 years, in addition to which they will be both dis missed her Majesty's service. THE NAVAL RESERVE. In a quiet corner of the West India Docks lies the Brilliant, 26, a frigate of the old school. There is no place for such a vessel in the navy now-a-days, so she, with others of her class, have been tem porarily fitted with heavy guns, and turned into training-ships for our naval volunteers. Just now the subject of our Naval Reserve has very properly attracted much attention, and, as usual, the utmost diversity of opinion obtains. For those who wish to judge for themselves, and judge impartially, we would recommend a visit to some of the training ships which are now stationed in most of the sea ports, and in which all day the guns are run in and run out, trained ahead and astern, and even fired now and then as the volunteers progress in their drill. Those who go on board expecting to sec the neat discipline and uniformity of dress which pre vail on board a regular man-of-war will be disap pointed. Gold lace and quarter deck is wisely kept as much in the background as possible. On this point the injunctions to the officers in command are strict—" to bear in mind the difference between the rules and practices of the Royal Navy and those of the merchant service, and to endeavour, while en forcing order and regularity, to do so in such a way as ratty best conciliate the feelings of the merchant seamen." Thus the men, being all merchant sea men, come in in what dress they like, and as long as they go through their 28 days' drill in the course of the year—doing duty at whatever periods are most convenient t 6 themselves—they earn their £lO, and can go about their business till the twelvemonth has expired, when they take 28 more in the same manner. Those on board the Brilliant are all in the West India trade, and as a matter of course prefer to take their 28 days' drill at once. Those in the coasting and home trades take four drills of seven days each, whenever they choose, in the intervals between their regular voyages. On board the Brilliant, as in all the other vessels, the men come on board at 9.30 in the morning, when they are mustered and told off to their guns in time to commence at 10 o'clock. From this till 12 they work at the guns, when they are allowed two hours for dinner, falling in again at 2 and drilling till 4.30, when they dismiss and go home, having of course all the rest of the day to themselves. These hours arc easy enough, yet, short as they are, from the men liking the exercise (especially the broad sword), they contrive to make astonishing profi ciency when the time of their drill is taken into consideration. Yesterday on board the Brilliant, from the time the word was given to fall in till they had fired three rounds from each gun at 400, 600, and 800 yards' elevation, was only four minutes —a most creditable result when it is recollected that some of the men had only been a week at quarters, and none had fully completed their 28 days. The advantages which are held out to induce the able seamen to join this reserve are apparently so great that one requires to investigate carefully the causes which have led the mass of the able seamen, up to almost the present time, to regard the whole plan with a feeling which, if not quite dislike, was at least one of considerable suspicion. Each man during drill receives a guinea a week pay, in addi tion to the £6 yearly, paid every quarter, half year, or year, as he may please. During actual service in the navy (if they are ever called upon) they re ceive the same pay as continuous service men, or about 9s. a month more than other able seamen. They are entitled to receive the same bedding, clothing, and mess traps on joining as those that ship for continuous service ; and after enrolment in the volunteers for 15 years, whether called out or not, they can claim their discharge and their pen sion forthwith. With such inducements it was not unnaturally thought that the men would flock to be enrolled in hundreds. Yet, though some three months have elapsed since the scheme was promulgated, very little more than 1,000 able seamen have been entered. These, however, it must be admitted, are all picked men ; and, as the weekly number of enrolments now shows a steady , increase there seems very little doubt but that be fore the year expires at least between 3,000 and 4,000 will be on the lists. The proportion of petty officers and able seamen to ordinary seamen and boys employed in the navy is about one-third, and scarcely any of the best manned vessels now in the Channel Fleet muster more than 250 able seamen among their blue-jackets. According to this computation, then, already the reserve can furnish crews for four sail• of-the-line, and there is no reason why this number should not be at least quadrupled under proper management, as we have said, even before the year is out. The first fear of the seamen, that immediately after en tering the reserve they would be sent out to China and other foreign stations, is now fast wearing out, and, except at one or two little ports in the north, has almost disappeared. One cause of dissatisfac tion, however, still remains, and that is that the sea men do not receive their quarter':; bounty on enter ing the reserve, but only when they have completed the three months, and this rule is adhered to, though in the great majority of instances no drill is demanded at all during this first quarter. No class of the community is more accessible to the induce ments of ready money payment than sailors, and none, as a general rule, are so little influenced by prospective advantages. Therefore, when to the suspicion of being sent abroad is added the draw back of having to wait three months - before they get their bounty, a very superior and provident class of One most important feature in favour of the Naval Reserve is that some of the seamen's unions in the north have, through their delegates, now warmly taken up its cause, and are forward in ad vocating its claims upon the support of the men. Such aid on the part of the most provident and careful body of seamen in the country, is of course most important, and will soon yield good results. Masters of vessels also give a decided preference to reserve men, as naturally the most steady and best trained, and this also is slowly though surely pro- ducing its effect. If the Government were only bold enough and liberal enough to take one step more and pay the able seamen in the navy at the same rate which they now receive in the merchant service, we should hear of no more difficulties as to want of seamen. This increase would add only £140,000 a-year to the estimates—a small sum for so great a good. THE CONMRCIAL TREATY. -.1 A man struggling between two adverse influences has always been a favourite subject with painters and sculptors, and poets and novelists: If any great genius should just now be contemplating something in the genre of Garrick between tragedy and comedy, or Telemachus between Mentor and Calypso, we beg to recommend as a practical and modern idea in the same line Napoleon 111. between Free Trade and Protection. Let M. John Donn's, Pre sident of the Commercial Reform Association, pluck gently at the hem of the Imperial garment on one side, pointing to a row of extinct furnaces, a quan tity of abandoned looms, little knots of commercial gentlemen, with their ledgers lying closed before them, and to a crowd of hungry commis-voyageurs, all out at elbows, and let him say, or seem to say, sadly, " These are the effects of delay." Let the President of the Chamber of Commerce be repre sented as clasping the Imperial knees ; at his back let there be crowds of hungry workmen, and on the floor beside him a copy of the Illoniteur Industriel, with long lists of bankrupts, tariffs of high prices for bread and low prices for hardware, and pottery, and cotton goods ; and let him say, or seem to say, " These are the effects of precipitation." The ex pression of the Imperial countenance we must leave to the discretion of the artist. - Whether it should be puzzled and irresolute, stern and indifferent, or shrewd and triumphant, will depend upon how much lie may know of what has been done, and how far lie may be able to calculate what will be the effect of what has been done. Some such tableau as this would have the truth if not the dig nity of an historical picture, and would shadow forth simply circumstances which have required several of our columns for their due announcement. If there bo any Englishman who places the chief luxury of life in daily libqtions of the sourest French wine, and who at the same time pays nu income-tax, let that gentleman stand forward and sing the praises of the Cobden Treaty. We know of no person otherwise placed who can greet it with unconditional encomium. We all admit that it has its good points, and that, upon the whole, its good ovei balances its evil. But then its evils are so great, and they are so unnecessary. They do not, for the most part, exist for any one's good. They might have been so easily avoided. It is so vexing to think that they are the results of nothing but the ignorance of the contracting parties as to the interests of their respective principals. Here is the Emperor of the French straining his anxious mind to obtain for his subjects some easy inclined plane down which they might slide gently into the sure groove of free trade ; but, unhappily, not hay:- ing had the same practical experience of commer cial transactions which his predecessor on the throne enjoyed, he has done harm where he was endeavouring to do goof. To avoid harrowing the feelings of his subjects, and to save them from sud den consternation, he has fixed a distant date for his, commercial millennium. The consequence is that he has stopped all the commerce of France. Every one is looking forward to that millennium, for good or for evil, that is to be the rule of all fu ture commercial transactions. It never occurred to the Emperor that no one will buy to-day what he is promised a great deal cheaper a few months hence. Every man will wait, economise, make shift with old supplies, stiffer any temporary in convenience, rather than pay more than will shortly be its price for the article he wants. The Commer cial Reform Association declares openly that this benevolentimperial plan has had no other effect than "to paralyse consumption and labour," and it calls upon all the chambers of commerce " to unite their efforts to demand of the Government to abridge these delays in the double interest of the producer and consumer." Thus we see it is the Funch, and Rot the English, who are calling aloud for the removal of that special stipulation for delay which the Emperor introduced for their intended advantage. With the best intentions in the world, he is ruining his own manufacturers by his cruel kindness. So on our side of the bargain the same unhappy consequences have arisen, and they have arisen from the same cause—ignorance of commercial details. It may sound very presumptuous to non commercial people for us to intimate that Mr. Cob den is capable of making a mistake in commercial matters ; and we know it will be held rank blas phemy by any mob that may get together in any Free-trade Hall to suggest that Mr. Cobden could ever be mistaken upon any subject whatever. But so it is. With the very best intentions, Mr. Cobden has shown a lamentable ignorance of the interests with which he was dealing. We by no means at tribute this to him as a fault. It could not have happened otherwise. We should search in vain throughout England for a man who has an inti mate knowledge of the details of every branch of English commerce. Mr. Cobden is one of the last men in whom we ought to expect such an universal knowledge. He has been dealing with great prin ciples all his life. His career has been one war of extermination against all imposts and all Custom houses. You might as well set Mr. Mechi to breed wild rabbits as commission Mr. Cobden to decide upon the most expedient form of an import duty. However, he was set to do it, and he has done it ; and he has done it in such a way that the Bradford Chamber of Commerce finds he has hopelessly ex cluded all our English worsted manufactures from the French markets. He has consented to the fixed duty being calculated upon the prices that ruled during the last six months, not knowing that these prices have been so exceptionally high that an ave rage of them will give a duty of at least 50 per cent. not only upon present prices, but also upon any prices at all likely to be obtained in future. It is the same in the cotton trade ; and even Man chester is repudiating the bargain made for it by its own apostle. In the same way, Mr. Cobden un fortunately knew nothing of the prohibition upon the export of rags, and of the effect of this prohi ' bition upon the prices of paper. Had he known better he would, of course, have stipulated for a fair average of prices as the basis of the fixed duties, and for the free export of rags in return for the free import of paper. It was not Mr. Cobden's fault that he did not know these things, but his want of knowledge has occasioned all those vexatious diffi culties which are the bad points of his treaty. The result of all this half-information isl that the This was a suit instituted by Mr. Samuel Alex ander against his wife Rebecca, on the ground of her adultery with Frank Amos. The facts of the case were as follows :—The petitioner married the respondent at St. George's, Hanover-square, on Jan. 31,1838, the lady being of great beauty, but of somewhat inferior station to her husband, who was the son of a banker at Ipswich. They cohabited together in different parts of England, afterwards in America, and latterly in Jersey. Towards the end of last year they were living in Bewley Bay, Jersey, when, according to the allegations in the petition, it was discovered that Mrs. Alexander had committed adultery with Amos, who was in her husband's service as groom. There were four chil dren born of the marriage. A witness, named Sullivan, who had been in Mr. Alexander's service, deposed that about a month after Amos came he saw Mrs. Alexander in the dairy crying and saying she wished she was dead, because she was in love ; and subsequently he saw her in the groom's bedroom with Amos, who blew out the candle, upon which witness, who was watch ing in the yard, threw some gravel up at the win dow. He afterwards told his mistress he should inform his master of her conduct, when she struck him, and Amos beat him also. On other occasions he had seen Mrs. Alexander kiss the groom and come out of his bedchamber. On cross-examination by the Court, Sullivan said he threw sand at the window be cause he could not reach it with his hand. The window was not down to the floor, but the bed was close to it. The first time he said anything about the matter was after he had seen the parties together in the wash-house. Mr. Alexander used to be away occasionally in town, and the daughters were absent with him, when the re spondent carried on an intimacy with Amos. The reason he told his master was because he pitied the children, and had .been led to believe that Amos was about to go to America with his mistress. After he had made this disclosure he was turned away from his situation by Mrs. Alexander. This witness, who gave his evidence in a very confused manner, occasionally contradicted himself. A housemaid in the service of the parties also de posed to the existence of an undue intimacy between her mistress and Amos. She had seen them in the bedroom together, and noticed her sitting on his knee and kissing bins. Her mistress went away from the house about three weeks after Amos left, and was now living with her mother. When wit nessfirst told her master what she bad seen, he ob served that it was very bad conduct, and he would not have it. The witness's testimony was full of contradictions, and on cross examination her evi dence altogether broke down. The Judge Ordinary delivered the judgment of the Court. The case was in some respects a re markable one. The husband imputed to the wife that she had committed adultery with a groom named Amos. It seemed that Mrs. Alexander was of humble origin as compared to the peti tioner, but the parties had lived together for many years, and there were several children of the marriage. They had lived always under the dis pleasure of the husband's family in consequence of the connexion, and six years ago an attempt was made to effect a separation, which, however, the wife would not agree to. During the whole of this time there was nothing to excite the slightest suspi cion as to the purity and chastity of her conduct. The Court therefore started with the assumption that Mrs. Alexander had up to a recent period con ducted herself in a manner which nobody could find fault with. This being so, they were called upon by , the petitioner to suppose that this lady had condes cended to disgrace herself with a groom, who had been only two months in her husband's service, and had behaved with so little regard to decency as to indulge in familiarities with him in open day, and in the presence of other parties. There might be such eases—there migh c be a passion approach ing to insanity, under which a woman might be lost to all sense of shame and decency, but there was no evidence of that sort in the present case. The Court, after a careful review of the case, thought there was something so unreasonable, extraordinary, and altogether improbable and contradictory in the story told by the witnesses, that it could not for a moment believe it. Certainly no woman's character would be safe if it could be destroyed upon such evidence as this. Their lordships were not satis fied that the case of the petitioner was proved, and, therefore, they felt bound to dismiss the peti tion, • COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. Sittings at Nisi Prius in London.—(Before Mr. Justice Williams and a Common Jury.) ALLAN V. MASON.-SEDUCTION. This was an action to recover damages for the seduction of the plaintiff's daughter, and the de fendant pleaded that he was not guilty, and that the daughter was not in the service of the plaintiff. Mr. Sergeant Shee stated that the plaintiff, Mrs. Eliza Allan, was the widow of a baker who formerly carried on business in a very respectable meaner at Westminster. About eight years ago he died, leav ing her with several children, and among them her daughter Ellen, whose misfortune' was now the subject of inquiry. About six years and a half ago the plaintiff went to reside at Plumstead, and hav ing some little property she, with assistance from her sons, lived in some degree of comfort and re spectability. In 1854 Ellen made the acquaintance of the defendant Henry George Mason, who was then 24 years of age, and was the son of a respec table upholsterer and undertaker at Plumstead. The defendant was then collector of taxes and shortly afterwards he was appointed churchwarden. Soon after the acquaintance commenced the de fendant proposed marriage. This offer was ac cepted. After the courtship had continued some years; nothing having occurred to induce the young woman or her mother to suppose that the defendant had any but the most honourable intentions, he induced Miss Allan to go to a tavern at Shooter's hill and there effected her ruin. He afterwards admitted his conduct to her mother, and promised to marry the girl without delay. He consented to the banns being published, but put off the perform ance of his promise on various pretences till a child was born, and then he positively refused to perform his engagement. Mrs. Eliza Allan—l am the plaintiff. I have 10 children, of whom three are daughters. The de fendant made the acquaintance of my daughter al year after I went to Plumstead, and lie continued his visits down to 185. In 1859 my daughter was living with me, and assisted in the household work, and she also worked for wages at needlework. In August, 1559, one of my daughters, Mrs. Bur ridge, made a communication to me. and in come quence I wrote to the defendant asking him to tunic and Lee me, and he came the next day. 1 told !dm I was very much surprised at his conduct, as I had always considered him a V ery honour a bl e man. Ile said he was very sorry, i t was all his fault, that my daughter was not to blame, that he had very great respect for her, he would do all in his power to repair the wrong, and that he would marry her. He seemed rather depressed as though it was not convenient to marry . then ; and I said if it were any convenience to him she could remain with me till he could make a home for her. He said I had removed all difficulty, and he would go and see my daughter and arrange with her. My daughter was Miss Jesse Allan—l am a daughter of the plain tiff. On Sept. 17 the defendant said to ine—" I am going to marry your sister Ellen very shortly." Mr. Tindal Atkinson addressed the jury in miti gation of damages, but he called no witnesses. Mr. Justico Williams told the jury that in his opinion the case was a bad one of its class, but their business was simply to compensate the plaintiff,lor the wrong done, and not to punish the defersaant. The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—dama ges xl4O. (Sittings in Banco, before Lord Chief Justice Erle and justices Byles and Keating.) HOLDER. V. SOULSBY. This case arose on demurrer to the plaintiff's declaration. The plaintiff in his, first• count com plained that he had hired certain furnished apart ments in the house of the defendant, and brought into them certain luggage; chattels, and effects, and that the defendant, neglecting his duty, - did not take such due and proper care of his said house as a prudent owner would, by means whereof cer tain dishonest persons, in the absence of the plain tiff, were admitted into the defendant's house and into the plaintiff's apartments, and t o ok a nd carried away the said luggage, chattels, and effects (Stile plaintiff. The second count stated that the plaits tiff was about to yield up the said apartments, arid gave licence to the landlord, according to the usage in such cases, to enter and show his apartments to persons desirous of taking the lodgings, ;and that, not taking proper care, some of the said persons carried off certain of he chattels of the plaintiff which were in the paid apartments. The.-defendant pleaded that the first count r not alleging the defen dant to be a common innkeeper, or any contract for insurance against lose, or any personal' bailment to the defendant, did not disclose any duty or lia bility on the part of 'defendant to take care of the plaintiff's goods. There was a similar plea to the second count. The plaintiff joined in demurrer. Mr. Archibald appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. John Thompson for tke defendant. - The Lord Chief Justice, in' delivering judgment, said that, in his opinion, the judgment ought to be for the defendant. Upon the first count the plain tiff claimed in the mere relation of a lodger, and assumed that the law created a duty of taking due and proper care of the goods of a lodger. He had to ascertain whether there was any duty by law cast on the landlord of a lodginghouse to take care of the goods of the lodger, and no law, no treatise, -no-judge had ever affirmed that proposition. In " Cayle's case" (1, Smith's Leading Cases) the lia bility of innkeepers was restricted to innkeepers keeping common inns for wayfarers to use, and j the edges in that case laid down a distinct rule that a lodginghouse-keeper letting- lodgings had no such' liability; if' the.goods of a lodger are stolen in his Louse ',llly anetherjodger, intieli less by a stranger. 'Dig reason uf•the law was that a way faring guest, having -no means of knowing what sort of persons might bsvaisout the inn, the law cast the duty on the innkeeper •of taking care of the goods of his guest ; and' he' was put on his guard, ...... and had a right to make: a charge as an insurer fur insuring the safety of his guest's goods. The reason of the law was perfectly intelligible, as it was said that an innkeeper might co-opt rate with dishonest persons against a wealthy traveller and steal his goods from him. But none of these reasons applied in reference to a lodger. The con tract must he taken as indicating the liability. Al though it was not contended that it was an absolute duty cast on the lodginghouse-keeper, and that ho was only bound to take due and proper care of his lodger's goods, he was most particularly averse from affirming that a lodginghouse-keeper was liable to take due and proper care. To say that every lodginghouse-keeper was liable for the loss of goods if he did not take due and proper care of them would be casting on him a re sponsibility that no man could see the result of. Looking at the infinity of character of the persons received into lodgings—persons of every grade—if lodginghouse keepers were' to be held bound to take due and proper care of their goods, or be liable for them by an arbitrary verdict, it would be affirming a proposition which would, to his mind, be a most pernicious evil; The habits of lodginghouses must vary according to circumstances. Near the seaside to have the doors always locked would be a great inconvenience. So it would be in a port where lodgings were taken at short notice, and the lodgers were continually going in and out. 'ln all these eases, if the laW was that the lodginghouse-keeper had to take care of the lodger's goods, it would be a serious resporzsibility. Of course, the lodger could hare the same care taken of his goods as when passing along the streets he handed them Over to a person to carry, by handing them over to the landlord to care of. Cayle's case was a direct authority against the plaintiff's claim. In the se cond count the lodger allowed his landlord to show the apartments to persons who twanted to take them. If- a person to whom the apartments were shown should take the opportunity of taking off the lodger's goods, was the lodginghouse-keeper liable ? In his opinion, not. The lodger who had given leave to have his rooms shown, in ordinary prudence, would put articles of value out of sight,and under the circumstances would place his goods under the care of the landlord. There was much more danger of evil from the lodger arranging with his companions to take off goods from the lodgings under pretence of looking at them, and then the lodger charging the landlord with it, than that a landlord should enter into such a conspiracy. lie did not in this judgment in the smallest degree interfere with the liability that would arise if there was any evi dence at all that the landlord, by gross misconduct, had facilitated the loss, or had taken part in it. In the present case the lodginghouse-keeper had done his duty, and was called on to be responsible for goods the loss of which was in no way his fault. Mr. Justice Byles and Mr. Justice Keating con curred in their judgments. Judgment for the de fendant. It is reported that the Government have signified their willingness to negotiate for the Great Eastern to take out the telegraph cable about to be laid between Singapore and Rangoon—an opportunity which it is presum ed the di rectors will be glad to seize on any reasonable terms.
