This was a motion for a new trial en the ground of mis direction of the jury by the judge who tried the cause. Mr. Kennedy tnd Mr. M‘Mahon appeared for the plain tiff, and Sir Fitzroy Kelly, Mr. Montague Smith, Mr. Bovill, and Mr. Ellis for the defendant. The facts of the case have been already frequently and fully reported, and may be briefly stated as follows : Plaintiff sued the defendant (then Sir F. Thesiger) to re cover damages sustained by reason of his having as counsel for the present plaintiff in another action compromised the matter without her sanction as she alleged, whereby she had been put to certain costs. The jury found for the defen dant under the direction of the judge, thereby declaring him (as a barrister acting honestly as he believed for the best interest of his client) not liable. In Michaelmas term a new trial rule was applied for on several grounds, but granted on one, •nly that` of 'misdirection. The querstion was argued at very great length, and judgment was given this morninK. The Lord Chief Baron having stated the pleadings and the facts of the case, said the court was of opinion that the rule ought to be discharged. This was a case of great general importance, raising as it did the question of the responsibility of members of the bar. These gentlemen had no legal claim to remuneration, they simply received some honorarium and entered into no express contract. The authorities were free upon the subject, and he did not propose to go into them at any length ; they were for the most part the dicta of judges in other cases used as illus trations and not judgments in analogous cases. It might, however, be very safely asserted that there was no instance of an action being successfully brought against a barrister for neglect of duty, but there were instances where such action had been successfully resisted. On an express agree ment a barrister would be liable, no doubt, as any other party to a contract ; but if he acted in the usual way and did a wrong unintentionally, acting without malice, fraud, or collusion, he would not be amenable as a wrong doer. Although they (the judges) were unanimous as to the way in which the rule should be dealt with, they had not agreed on all the points relative to it, but into these he should not now enter. They thought that a barrister taking a brief in the usual way undertook a duty, but did not enter into a contract expressed or implied. The barrister should not be regarded as making a contract with his client, but taking on himself an office or duty, one which not only affected his client but one in which the public at large was interested. If it were other wise, the members of the bar would be liable to an action from every disappointed suitor. If the compromise was a nullity, the plaintiff remained unimpaired ; but it was said she had been put to costs in enforcing those rights ; and it was a principle of law that to put persons to Goats by bringing an action against them if there was no malice, was not a ground of action. He went fur ther than his brother judges; he was of opinion that a barrister was not liable for his want of ability, if he acted with perfect good faith, and, as he believed, for the best interest of his client, he was not responsible for any error of judgment or mistake whatever. If in this case the defendant had made the compromise, believing it was serving his client's interest (and the jury had decided that such was the case) he was not liable. The rule must there fore be discharged. Mr. Kennedy applied for leave to appeal. Leave was granted on the understanding that th s on which the appeal was made should be submitted to the Court. POLICE INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.) MARLBOROUGH-sTREET. -Arr- Charles Pakenham, 11, Hertford-street, Mayfair, and Mr. John Althidge, 8, St. Alban's-place, Haymarket, were charged as follows : Police-constable Murrell, SO C, said that at a quarter to four that morning, while on duty in Panton-street, Hay market, he saw the defendants go up to an hotel and violently ring the bell, and afterwards ring the bell at a silversmith's. They then made their way to Arundel-court, where they tried to fo , ce their way into a public-house, and created a great disturbance ; and as they were both much intoxicated he took them into custody. On the way to the station they became very violent, and it took three constables to take one of them to the station. The defendants having denied that they were drunk, Sergeant Rogers, actin; inspector, was called, and said they certainly were very drunk. Mr.Beadon said the defendants' conduct, at such a place, where was continu Illy disturbances, was likely to cause the greatest confusion, and fined them 20s. or seven days. THAMES. AN UNFEELING GRANDFATHER.—IMPORTANT DELI. siox.—William Thomas, a tall and vigorous old man about 67 years of age, and dwelling at No. 34, Park-street, Poplar, appeared before Mr. Selfe to answer a summons which charged him with refusing to maintain Elizabeth, aged 11 years, Joseph, aged 9, awl Mary Ann, aged grandchildren, severally not able to work, and now charge able to the Poplar Union, the defendant being of u s/ ' I (dent ability to maintain them. Mr. Jeffreys, relieving officer of the Poplar k :,.iiorc, said the defendant had been lodged and maintained r the work house, at the expense of the ratepayers, for 15 - years'. A few months since the defendant came into the possessio of freehold and leasehold property, and had received a good deal of money from Mr. Prendergast, a respectable solicitor, which he had squand ere d i n sensual gratifications, going from one public-house to another and getting drunk. He had been applied to and asked to repay the parish some por tion of the cost of his maintenance for 15 years, and he re. fused to contribute a farthing. He was then asked to pay for the maintenance of his son's children, who were also in the workhouse, and he declined doing so. Mr. Selfe—ls the father of the children dead ? Mr. J effreys—He is, sir ; and the widow is unable to maintain them. Defendant, who is very deaf, said he was only a rope maker by trade, and could not work. Mr. Selfe—l don't suppose you can, but you must sup port your grandchildren. Defendant—How can I ; why, I have no money ? Mr. Selfe—Yes, you have, and property too. Defendant—My affairs have not been arranged. Mr. jeffreys—He has received money from Mr.Prender gast, his lawyer, to the extent of 15s. per week at least for s ome time past, and he has got money in his possession. Mr. Selfe told the defendant he must contribute some thing towards the maintenance of his grandchildren. Defendant —I can't ; I won't do it. Mr. Selfe—The law says you must. Defendant—Oh 1 that is a horse of another colour ;if the law says so, I must do it. Mr. Jeffreys said the parish would be satisfied with ss. per week. Mr. Selfe—You must pay 55. per Wee k . Defendant--I can't until my business is settled. Taplin, an officer of the oourt, here shouted in the de. fend ant's ear—The magistrate says yon must go to prison if you won't pay. Defendant—To begin now ? ss. pe r wee k f rom thi s very Taplin—Yes, you m ust p a y day. Defendant —Oh dear !oh lord ! (L ou d l aug h ter. ) Mr. Selfe—The defendant has made a v er y goo d b arga i n . He must also pay 2s. costs. The defendant took from his pocket a well filled purse, 'd the costs, a nd left the court. POPULAR PREACHING.—The —;; C. H. Spur geon has, it is understood, secured the Rev. H. H. North rop to preach for him to-morrow and next Sunday, in the morning at Exeter Hall, and New Park -street chapel in the evening. PROGRESS OF COMMERCIAL TRAFFIC.—Among the most interesting problems connected with the progress of commercial traffic at the present time are the facilities to be afforded by tramways for passenger conveyance, and by traction engines for the carriage of heavy goods on turnpike and other roads. In accordance with precedent, however, the first effort of meddling legislation is, of course, to obstruct the possibility of their introduction. Th e traction engines of one company have already been frequently em ployed by manufacturers in the neighbourhood of London for upwards of 12 months, and have worked in all parts of the metropolis, including the most crowded thoroughfares, drawing heavy loads, sometimes exceeding 30 tons, with out a single instance of accident, and at a cost alleged to be not more than half of that which would have been incurred for horse-power. No sooner are these results obtained than Parliament is asked to interfere to deprive the public of the new advantages which promise to b© opened up. A bill entitled the " Locomotive Act, 1860," proposes to prohibit the use of locomotives within four miles of Charing-cross at all hours except during the darkness from midnight to 8 in tin morning, and this, it may be presumed, would virtually exclude the traction engines from all possibility of being worked at a profit, or so as to suit the requirements of trade, ABSENT Adair, Ipswich Agnew, Wigtonshire Andover, Vis., Malinesbury Angerstein, Greenwich Anson, Lichfield Ashley, Lord, Cricklade Bass, Derby Beale, Derby Berkeley, Cheltenham Briscoe, West Surrey Bulkeley, Anglesea 'Burke, Galway county Buxton, Maidstone Byng, Middlesex Cholmondeley,LincolnshireN Cobden, Rochdale Cogaa, Kildare county Corbally, Meath Dashwood, Wycombe Dillwyn, Swansea Divett, Exeter Duff, Banffshire Duncombe, Finsbury Dunkellin, Lord, Galway Dunne, Queen's county Ellice, jun., St. Andrew's Evans, SirDeL.,Westminster Foley, Worcestershire East Fox, Oldham Glyn, Kendal Grenfell, Preston Hanbury, Middlesex Harcourt, Oxfordshire Heneage, Lincoln FOR.

Sir Charles Wood, Bar' ~ M.P., Secretary of State for India, presided. For the second time, after an interval of many years, the ceremony was honoured with the pre sence of his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, the General Commanding in Chief. Fifty-nine cadets were brought forward for exa mination. Of this number 16 were reported by the public examiner fully qualified for the Engineers, viz, : Allan Joseph Champneys Cunningham, Henry Wilberforce Clarke, William Percival Tom kins, James Dundas, Henry Trotter, Henry Cot terill Smith, Arthur Frank Hamilton, Malcolm Arbuthnot Alves, Charles Strahan, James Halifax Western, George Macdonald Cruickshank, Justin Charles Ross, Francis Frederick Cotton, William Gordon Cumming, William Broadfoot, George Fre derick Leycester Marshall; 17 were reported qua lified for the Artillery, viz.:—John Arthur Arm strong, Frederick Alex.

Er nest G. Cattermole.—French. George H. Jackson. —Mathematics and military surveying. The prizes having been awarded, Sir CHARLES WOOD addressed the gentlemen cadets, and said that he had derived great plea sure from attending that examination to witness the ability . with which they had passed through their examinations in the task which the public examiner, Sir Frederick Smith, had imposed upon them. He was still more pleased when he referred to the report of Sir Frederick Abbott, the lieute nant-governor, who had stated that their conduct had been most excellent during the whole of the term. He was more acquainted with the affairs and circumstances of India than when he addressed them the last time, for, unless the conduct of their officers was well regulated, it might cause a flame in India, which could only be quenched with blood. Therefore, on the good con duct of their officers depended the consolidation of their Indian em pire, which could only be done by obtaining an influence with the natives of India through their own good conduct. They must acquire the goodwill and confidence of the natives of India, which could never be obtained unless they proved to them that, while England gove rned their coun try, they governed it for their own good. The Duke of CAMBRIDGE said that he rejoiced to have the opportunity, through the invitation of the Secretary of State for India, of being present that day, although he had been there once before, but it was so many years ago that he was almost a stranger, to bear testimony to the admirable and con scientious manner in which they had attended to their duties, and which he trusted w ou ld p rov e to their advantage in after life.

COBDEN, M.P., ON THE LORDS AND THE CONSTITUTION. The following address from Mr. Cobden was re ceived in Rochdale on Wednesday : TO MR. ALDERMAN HEALEY, CHAIRMAN OF THE CONSTITLITIONAL . .DEFENCE ASSOCIATION, ROCH DALE. _ Paris, June 4, 1860. Sir,—l regret to be unable to accept the invita tion to the public meeting of the inhabitants of Rochdale ; but feeling that my constituents have a right to know my sentiments upon the recent pro ceedings of the House of Lords, which are, I under stand, to be brought under their consideration, I beg leave to trouble you with this communication. Stripped of all mystification, the question on which the meeting will be called to pass a judg ment appears to me to be this :—Shall we submit to be taxed by an irresponsible body or shall we hold fast to the constitutional maxim of our fathers, which declared that taxation and represen- tation should be inseparable ? We need not stop to inquire for technical precedents ; the broad and simple maxim that to the Commons alone belongs the power of imposing or retaining taxes is an all sufficient guide for us on the present occasion. Is it to be supposed that our forefathers, two centuries ago, rose in defence of their fortunes against the exactions of an arbitrary monarch, merely to place the national purse strings in the hands of upwards of 400 irregular rulers ? On the contrary, I do not believe they would have sanctioned an hereditary , branch of the Legislature, without that constitu tional reservation which denied to it the functions of taxation. The course pursued by the peers - on the present occasion in respect to the paper duty will, if tole rated, be established as a precedent, and be re peated with future budgets. Let us see what their course has been. It is now more than ten years since an associa tion was formed for advocating the repeal of those taxes which impeded the diffusion of knowledge— foremost among which was the paper duty. The usual mode of appealing to public opinion in Eng land was resorted to—that mode -which alone makes great reforms possible without a resort to violence. Meetings were called, speeches were delivered, the oo operativu of the public press was invoked, and at the time of general elections the question was brought under the notice of candidates for parliament; Gradually, by means of petitions, an enlightened public opinion was reflected in the House of Commons, where motions for the repeal of these taxes were repeatedly made by Mr. Milner Gibson, which led to important discussions, and in vestigations before committees; and at length the paper duty, having the year previous undergone the process of a vote of condemnation, was in the present session a b o li s h e d b y th e House of Commons. Bear in mind that during all this time not one syllable or thought was bestowed on the House of Lords ; not a petition reached it. No committee sat to inquire into the subject; not a breath of dis cussion was raised within its walls. And why was this? Because no rational being ever imagined that if the House of Commons, with the consent of the crown, decreed the abolition of the tax, the Lords would assert the right to perpetuate it. Yet, suddenly, and after one evening's debate only, their lordships have reversed a decision founded on ten years' discussion and investigation, and have de fended their rash proceeding with arguments which I am sorry to be obliged to characterise as at once arrogant and insulting to the House of Commons. They who never hear the voice of a Chaneellor of the Exchequer, they with whom the Sovereign holds no communication upon the subject of taxation— for she averts her countenance from the peers, and in express terms avoids even to recognise them as a portion of her audience, when addressing the Houses of Parliament on financial questions—they have made themselves responsible for the stability of our finances, and have assumed that the House of Commons is incompetent to deal with the contin gency of a deficit in the revenue, should it arise, though the powers possessed by that house for such a purpose are in a national sense omnipotent ! It is difficult to believe that one individual mem ber of the House of Commons will be found to sup port this invasion of its rights, privileges, and duties. Surely the counties, which in former struggles did so much to put down arbitrary power, but which have lately shown so little signs of political vitality, will remind their representatives that they, as well as the boroughs, have an interest in preserving the constitutional franchises bequeathed to them by their ancestors. There is at least one great party, comprising a majority of the house, with the members of the Government at its head, to which the country will not look in vain oz the present occasion. To that party and its chiefs belongs, by their antecedents, peculiarly the honour of vindicating the rights and liberties of the people. If these high motives were wanting, others inai tact of self-preservation, for it is evident the so-called popular party in the House of Commons could not exist if the power to control its financial measures were conceded to the peers. It is notorious that that party is always in a minority in the House of Lords. We feel it in the weariness of our task whilst pass ing year after year through the lower house such measures as the Church-rates Bill, with the con sciousness that so long as the Liberal party is in power those measures will be systematically re jected by the Peers. It is difficult for a political party to hold together, and to know that much of its parliamentary labours are in vain. But we have at least had the consolation of believing that on the vital question of taxation and expenditure, including not only the power of imposing, but of removing our fiscal burdens, a majority of the House of Commons possessed an uncontrollable authority. Let that principle of our constitution be invaded, open the door to the House of Peers to revise and reject our budgets, and what man possessing any self-respect would remain in the hands of a party which was impotent to carry its measures in any one department of government ? If such a state of things were to arise, it would only remain for the people out of doors to find a remedy for the evil. These are broadly and briefly my views on the question at issue. Viewing the matter calmly from a distance, it appears to me that there is a more important principle at stake than has arisen during the political contests of our time. lam amazed that the Peers, yielding to a haughty, rash, and reckless guidance, should have selected the pre sent moment for an attack on the most cherished rights of the Commons—a moment when even ab solute rulers are ostentatiously professing allegiance to the principle of popular sovereignty. "Must we regard it as one more proof that personal qualities, however great and good, can never protect a body of men from the deteriorating influences of irre sponsible power ? Let me, in conclusion, assure you, how gladly I would have presented myself at your meeting. Nothing could have prevented me from obeying your summons but the important work in which I am engaged here, and which, it is my unabated con viction, involves the highest interests of the two countries.—l remain, sir, your obedient servant, R.
