LITERATURE. Me ELEVATION OF THE PEOPLE. By the Rev. T. Milner: M.A. , The title of thi s wor k at mce urn ats our sympathy, tad excites our interest. The elevation of the people ! _ what ; varied thoughts are conjured up by that brief phrase I We se e . b e f ore us th e m i g h ty mu l t i tu d e, i n their innate grandeur and actual degradation. We see before us the powerful sinews of the social frame ; the base of the national edifice ; the root, the • sour2e, the (Muse of all the greatness and glory of our country—and we see them, alas, in sorrow, in suffering, and in shame. The bare tom of 4 ' the People" reanmis us of their il limitable power; the thought of their - 4 Eleva. ion" recap their sad position : it tsqls us of what they sh old be. and painfully contrasts what they are; but also in the gentle voice of hope. i t w hi s p ers , what they may, and what a strong Qinsiction assures us, they shall be. This moment is Tweitliarly appropriate for such thought s __ this 1 1 30 . w:eat s w hes the beams of morning are di spell i ng the ( IF knees of night ; when hope is being merged in cer i ;ainty, end the fulfilment of some of our most P:tixious expectations bids us anticipate the reali-a-ion of : the whole. In all human affairs there is an 'nevi t."ble ten dency to advaece, and not only to advance, b u t to improv e, forthe apparent increase of evil only tend s t o i=A own ultimate • destruction. The pent. up waters, re-trained fur a time, acquire new force in their accumulteion, arid rising at last, overthrow all bond, ; and so has all tyranny, temporarily triumphant, succumbed eventually to the power of the oppressed. Hence all the revolu tions of old. and hence ours of the present day. Hence cur is hellion, not with fire and :ovoid uga , rist some seep tred despot. but a social rebellion agaio,t social tyrant') —a revolu•ien operating in our hearts. Let those, it any there are, who doubt this, but earnestly regard the sign. or toe times ; the sorrows of the poor, once turned from with contempt—the wrongs of the many, once re garded with indifference, are now the objets of geuerai investigation —are now the objects of an a , tention almost " universal as its theme," We hear of them in the gen Lle voice trona the throne, in th,-- earnest language of :he minister, in tho animated debates in the Parliament house, or the imps: sinned eloquence of the multitude. We read of them on every page, whether the poli tician's or the poi t's, portrayed with the terrible realitit-s of truth, or clothed in the varied adornments of ro mance. We learn them in various ways, but we do learn them ; and all these ways, however differing in themselves, are only parts of one great movement—of one simultaneous endeavour Their object is to expose evil, and thereby to remedy it ; tl make us feel for the suffering aid think how to alleviate it ; and of such a class is the work before us. To recommend it to atten tion seers almost a work of supererogation. Its aim is prranote the elevation of the people, " mot al, instruc tional, and social," and it does so in a m .st si nple arid 'effective manner, alike free from enthusiasm and preju dice. The greater portion is devoted ro education ; Various systems are anal ) sad, and various examples cited. Commencing with a "glance at b) gone tin es," it furnishes us with a brief sketch of the condition of the country, or rather of the people, down to the , present day. In the chapter emphatically named " The Strife for Life" we have a heart-rending picture of the terrible struggles, daily and hourly endured by many th.rusand, in every part of the kingdom ; struggles of which their happier brethren, who " live at home i n ease" can hardly form an adequate conception. Not decked out in plausible probabilities, but, as learned by Commis sioneTs and other inquirers on the spot, the plain un mnished truth is here made manifest to us. We read Of the lace maker's children, not four years old, work ing twelve hours a clay ; we hear the mother of six children declaring "we never see such a thin g as butcher's meat—we never know what it is to get enough to eat." We read of the "morality of dens and wig .wams" (names more appropriate than cottages for our wretched habitations) where many persons of all ages, and both sexes sleep together in the same room, some times in the same bed. How terrible, how awful is the following piragraph, if it be true. which we will ardently hope it is not:—" Some years ago, Mr. Walrus ley estimated the amount annually realised as the wage of crime (in Liverpool) at seven hundred thsusand pounds. A sub-committee of the Town Council was ap pointed to examine this statement, and they reported the conviction that the imm ense sum was no t e xaggerated. The concluding chapter of this work enurierates the " social improvements already projected and commenced. and dissioates the gloom imspired by a retrospect of the past in contemplating the better things which are at hand, or which are even now being realised. For all persons ,if all ages, and of all clases, this volume should, and will, be deeply interesting. The young will have . more true wisdom and m o r e p rac ti ca l knowledge, from studying- the present state of their own countrymen, than from contemplating the deeds of the heroes of old, however vividly or nervously depicted. And the very impartial and general character of the work will prevent it from clashing with political opinions, save in a f ew instance-, and its moderate and st r a ignttorvvard . tone must preserve it from offending any. save the seihsh or the prejudiced, whose censure will be preferable to com mendation. TIIOII-\'BERRY ABBEY. A Tale of the Estab- lished Church. " Rtasselas " sprangfrom the well of pure English fiction, so did the " Vicar of Wakefield," so did the " Christmas Carol." There is noihing nieretrien bus in the comp sition or the conception of either of them ; of each might most truly be declared that " none but Itself could be its parallel." Of the first the prireipal characteristic is thoughtfulness ; the second is essen tially domestic ; the last is a combination of wit, medi tation, pathos, domesticity, and drollery, the chief Charm 01 which is its spontaneousitess merit ' • every sent'met is, as it were, the cushla ma three, "the pulse cf m ) heart." But beyond the iokali.oi of each utory, onc. ..t the rarest beauties of these three is the remsrkatile purity of the language in which they are couched ; they bmack in every sentence of our insular literature ; they could alone have been produced by an inhabitant tit “la perfide Albion." For this same purity and nation silty of style, the little volume called " Thornberry Abbey" can put in a very fair claim ; and however Much the imaginativeness of the narrative may he ham P. red and suppressed by its professedly polemical ten dency, a e cannot but acknowledge that as a lit-rary composition alone it possesses angular attributes of attraction. We have not, undoubtedly, the temerity to classify the writer with a Johnson, a Goldsmith, or a Dickens ; the thiug would be a flagrant rebellion against judicious taste and classical propriety ; but we are assured that as a composition the present volume would not have been disdained by those fine intel•eets. The tale is plainly but honestly told ; it is simple, but its diction rings well even upon the accustomed ear. Nor is the purpose of the whole a deterioration of this merit ; it is consonant with it for its gentleness, its earnestness, and its truthfulness. There are none of the hackneyed commonplaces of the habitual contr.- eersialist ; there are no gleams of acerbity, indicative of the bigot ; no deprecations of this beautiful world, er , of society at large, such as furnish matter for vitupe ration to the fanatical mind. The doctrines are ad vanced, not dogmatically, but meekly ; the controversy is unaffectedly and gracefully written. Many of the characters introduced are singularly life-like and Ti al, er. gr. Lady Martin and Mrs. Hardy. 'l'me first inter view between these two redoubtalye ladies is capitally told. James Eynon, again, is a faithful transcript from an original ; his lameatatious over imaginary troubles, form a good representation of a half-misanthrope, half hypochondriac. It would be rather ungracious to d•-fine the plot of the story, as by so doing we should deprive the book of much of its attraction ; in other w irdi we should be destroying its interest. However much may be our difference of opinion, can commend this " Tale of the Established Church " as a pleasant, en tertaining, and thor•ewhiv Anglie.re fiction. LAMENTABLR ,MISTAKE.—'A INDsoR. c.,sp.vy EVEN.. IMO.—An unfortunate occurrence took place yester,lay after noon at St Leonard's -place, near Windser, which. it is feared, may prove fatal, for La Marquise d'Harcourt, who is on a visit to Mr. . 13. Ha, te.urt, at his real dance at St. Leonard's. It appears that La 'Marquise had been attended for some time past by Messrs. Brown and Andrews, of this town, surgeons to the royal house hold. By a lamentable oversight on the part of a denies tie, a bottle containing an ounce and a halt of a very 'trot% preparation of laudanum was administered to the unfortunate lady hi mistake fur a draught of medi cine. Shortly afterwards the error was discovered, and a messenger inetantly dispatched to Windsor for medical aid Within forty minutes of the discovery being made e.r. Andrews was in attendance. and administered the proper remedies to neutraiise the effects of the poison ; but. trent the advanced age of the sufferer (who is in her 76th year) the greatest fears were entertained of tier not being enabled to recover from the severe shock she has experienced. At 6 o'clock this evening La Marquise was considered to be in the most imminent danger. Her medical attend.ints, however, have still hopes that she may be restored, should infl.nnma ton, from the strong remedies which it was necessary to re sort to, not take place. La Marqu i se d'llarcourt is the relict of Major-General Charles Ameeee Harcourt Marquis d'Har court, a peer of France , wh o was killed by a tall trein his horse in 1831, at St. Le,mard's, and was buried at Albury Church, Hertfordshire, in the family vault of the late Sir Richard Harcourt. DANGER OF BATHING IN THE THAMES.— (h 1 Sunday morning, two young lads, the one about sixteen, and tb• other about twenty years of age. tailors, in the employ meat of Mr. Hems, Hare street, and Mr. Flide, Powis t_i_treet. Woolwich, were drowned while bathing in t he River Thames, near Charlton Pier, and their bodies have not been found. On Monday evening another lad about sixteen years of age, named Lv ue, was drowned while bathing nearly opposite Warren- a W eolwich, and his body was found about an hour afterward-, t the use of the drag; had been tri e d fo r employing a net, after some time.

Being erected, the soccAsor of St. Peter reigns and governs : but it is to he admitted, that it his power - tie absolute in principle, there does not in tat exist any Gorerionent surrounded with :mire con trolling poyi er. Io fact. the Sacred Coilege, whether met n consis‘orj, prided ever by the g, r , d into nuintr.us special congregations, decides on all spiritual and temporal matters belonging to the church. To speak of the latter only, they are submitted to civil congregations or boards, which are like the divisions of a great Council of State attached to the different departments. Thus, there is the Con gregation of Good Government, the Consulting Board, the Congregation of Rivers and Roads, the Study Commission. the Congreg ttion for Auditing Public Ac counts and Revising Pubic Administrations, &c. Each of these sptcial councils is presided over by a member of the S ,cr.-d College, and has spreitied powers. Over these councils there is the Pope and his Council of Mi nisters, consisting of a Minister for Foreign Affairs, a Minister Secretary of State fur the Home Department, a Minister of Justice, a Minister of Police, Governor of Rome, a Minister of Finance, Minister of War, a Direc tor of the Post, a Camerlingo, and, finally, a Secretary of Briefs and Petitions. An Almoner, Steward of the Household, and a Master of the Ceremonies, constitute the members of the Ponifical Government. The arms has been organised in a special manner. It is under the management cf a council (la presidenza dell' anni). con sisting of a prelate, (1 a titst co,neillor, and of tour councillors who superintend the administration of mili tary matters. The States of the Church are divided into three military divisions, those of Rome, Bologna, and Ancona. The army consisted (in 1840) of 9,300 in fantry, of wh!ch 6,000 are natives, and 3,300 tre Swiss ; 640 Dragoons, 160 mounted Chasseurs. 800 Artillery men, 1,700 Gend-reues, 300 Arcptebusiers, 1,200 custom house officers, 80 men of the Noble Guard, in all 14,600 men, not including a reserve of 6,000 men and 3.000 Na tional Guards for Rime and 801 , gna. The annual ex pense of keeping up this force is 1,756,029 Roman scudi, or about 380,0001. The territory of the States of the Church is divided into 20 provinet s. under the appellations of comarca, patina, and delegations, as follows :—First, the pro. vince of ft-me or " cotnarca," and the cowimiss-sriat of L.retto. Second, the six legations of Bologna, Ferrara. Ravenna, Forli, Urbino and Hesaro, and Velletri. Third, the 13 Vgations of Ancona, Aseol , , Benevento, campritio, Givnti-Vecchia, Macerato, Orvieto, Perugia, Rieti„ Spoleto, and Vile! bo. These irov• pc: s are atitainist• red by a b gate, assisted in the six legations by councilors talt, n trim among the more influ nrial inhabitants.

In this case there are clear indicalons that the current of the electric fluid was an upward, and not a downward one. For in tance, two large pieces of metal were thrown to a considerable distance, and into situ ations whither they could not by possibility have been projected by a downward current. It it; conjectured that the iron in the immediate neighly.urhood of the spot .truck (probably from thirty to rutty tons), being intensely charged with the fluid. at the time that a non-electric cloud was passing over it, had discharged the fluid by an upward cur rent, which in its ascent broke the wheel, the weight of which is about 21,4 cwt. Fortunately the men were not at work at the time, or some severe personal injury, if not fatality, might have been sustained.—Manchester Guardian. MELANCHOLY SUICIDE.—A letter, of the 20111 of April, from the Malabar coast, gives the following account of the suicide of Lieutenant C. G. Smith, of her - Majesty's 25th regiment :—A party of dlicers, consisting of Lieute nants Priestley, Lea, Gough, and Smith, of the 25th Foot, had obtained 1.-ave to proceed on an elephant-s Looting ex cursion into the Wynaad jungles. It would appear that the unfortunate deceased had been for some time in a very de sponding state, which is attempted to be accounted :or by the fact of his having been unsuccessful in his application made at. the commencement of our differences with the Sikhs, to be allowed to join his relative, Sir H. Smi: h. as one of his s aft: It is slid that lie had written to the General, but had not received any r, ply. Oh the 28th of March, while at the Tiroooelly Pew plantation, Lieutenant Smith was ob served by one of his friends to be in a very nervous state, and trying to load his fowling-piece. On being questioned as to what he was about, he is said to have replied that he was determined on shooting himself. From 'firoobelly the pa.:tv proceeded to Manantoddy and other parts of the jurgle. Nothing further occurred on Lieutenant Smith's part to cause any uneasiness to the sportsmen, one of whom was fortunate enough to be able to kill one elephant and wound another. On the 16th of April, at a place named Coroth, Lieutenant Smith is said to have been listening to one of the 1,, rea ding. He menz. , bias laughed at the history read, and seemed ainu-a , d. He had a chart while before bor ow, d a small sum fron one of hi> color:Oral for the pur p se of paving Coolies, :t having been resolved by the party to continue their journey. Lieutenant Smith suddenly left the loom. Shortly afterwards the report of a gun was head.

SALMON FISHING IN THE RIVERS NORTH OF THE N E SS, &c.—Tbe grilse fishing commenced in the Beauty on :'tutiritoy, and about 1%0 were got previous to Tuesday. The fish are smaller than usual, but a good grilse season is looked t o r. On the Conon, the fishitg is exceedingly backward, and but few grilses have made their appearance. On the Shin and Lunar, the ~ ;rilse season is fully one-fourth less up to this date than last year; but the fishing, upon the whole, has been one of the most productive within the last twelve years. The -almon fishing co , itinues, and last week, about seventy boxes were dispatched south. On the west coast, though the gri:ses are late, there are indications of a good season; and at Chanonry Point, the grilse season, though eight or ten days later than usual, is beginning to produce, übout forty having been caught on Monday, of good size. There is not much done yet on the Spey or Findhora as to grilses. The next stream will perhaps give a better supply on these rivers, as well as the Conon, Ste.

This bad a serious effect upon the at tendance, which was the thinnest we ever witnessed. The weather was indeed such, and the state of the course arising therefrom so dangerous, that it was deemed advisable to de fer the Maiden Plate race till the f flowing day ? an act, almost as much of necessity as prudence, after what had oc curred in the North Derby and Hunters Stakes,in both of which races two bursts fell.

SIR,-1 was gratified to observe in y. ur journal of ) esterday a letter signed " Bon Sent," calling attention to the poiluted state of the atmosphere on the shore of the river I ppi , site Milbatik. It you can afford but an inch of space in which I may bear testimony to the truth of this I shall be much obliged; for on Sunday. evening I pass, d this spot in a boar, and really the stench was abominable. That I was rot stifled I have to thank a sound constitution, but 1 think it might prove serious to some. Inhaling the effluvia of decomposed sh (for I think it is caused by such) is most injurious and destructive to late, and I shall take care not to pass tip the Thames so far agate until the nuisance is re 'Loved. I trust dia . , the attention of the prt.per autho rities may be directed to this subject, for at this remark ably hot season in particular it is sufficient to produce a general infectious disease.—l am, Str, your obedient servant, W. 8.

The following is an outline of Lord Brougham's recently introduced Bill intituled "An Act to make creditors who have proved under process in bankruptcy or insolvency judg ment el.( ditors of the bankrupt or insolvent" : The preamble sets forth that it is expedient to give addi tional remedies to creditors against debtors who having been declared bankrupt or insolvent do not account in a satis factory way for such property as has been traced into their possession, or who have not kept such books as they ought to have done, or who have not continued to make the usual entries in their books up to the time of their bankruptcy or insolvency, or who may appear to have been guilty of great extravagance in their expenditure, or who may have put their creditors to unnecessary expense by vexatiously resist ing proceedings taken against them in Courts of Justice for the recovery of debts, arid who for these or for any other reasons shall appear to the Commissioner to be undeserving of protection. And the clauses enact that the Commissioner of Bankruptcy may suspend the protectian granted to a bankrupt, &c., and may again renew and suspend, &c. As signees are to be deemed judgment creditors in certain cases; and creditors who have proved to be deemed judgment cre ditors. If protection is withdrawn from bankrupt, &c., Com missioner to grant certificate thereof according to the form in the schedule. Assignees, &c., holding such certificate may, when sealed, procure the proper writ of capias, &e., against bankrupt. If the bankrupt shall be in prison under a capias so issued, the Court may order his release in certain cases ; and if the bankrupt, whose certificate, or insolvent whose final order has been refused, shall appear to be in possession of property, the creditor may apply for an order to seize the same for his owu use. If the bankrupt, &c., not being pro tected, shall be in possession of property as the reputed owner, the same may be seized. SWINDLING BY A SHAM UMBRET.LA-MENDER.—A fellow who cries " Umbrellas to mend" has been within the last fortnight victimising several ladies and servants residing in Montague and Bryanstone-squares, and in the new streets and squares on the Paddington side of the Edgware-road. The following is his swindling system. He has always with him several repaired and unrepaired valuable umbrellas and parasols, and when he knocks at a door, or is called i n , h e says that this or that umurella or parasol belongs to Mrs. So and So, giving the correct name of some lady in the vicinity, and giving his address (false), sometimes Star-street, or Praed-street, or some lesser street abutting on . them in Paddington.

SUSPECTED INFANTICIDE.—Tuesday morning, at an early hoar, tile body of a newly-born male child was discovered floating in the canal near St. John's Church, Paddington. The body was conveyed to the nearest public-hones, where the summoning officer took charge of it. Information was forwarded to Mr. Waklen the corcoer, but th.! inquiry has not yet been fixed., There were several marks of violence on the body, and the general impression is that the child has come by its death by some unfair means.

COURT OP EXCHEQUER, June 24. (Sittings at Nisi Prim; at Westminster, betbre the CHIEF BARON and Special Juries.) _PRoVI,9IONAL COMMITTEEMEN. REYNELLv. LEWIS. This was an action to recover the amount of the plaintiff's demand in the character of 'an advertising agent. Mr. , Knowles, Mr. Crompton, and Mr. Willes conducted the ca , e for the plaintiff, and Mr. Jervis, with whom was another learned gehtletmui, appeared for the defendant. It appealed that the plaintiff was a well known adver. tising agent in, Chancery-lane, and that, like most other gentlemen in that capacity, he had become the mediuM for obtaining the insertion in the different journals of ad vertisemedis for railway companies. Amongst these was the Central Kent Railway Company, of whica the defendant was a; member of the provisional committee, which ;n the course Of the evidence it was proved had been formed in Septembet in the last year, although it bad for some time previously Clem projected. The so icitors to the cenrern were Messrs. Parkes, Smith, and Co., of Bedford row, but the :offices of the company were eventually opened in Mansion :.iouse-place. From the evidence of a Mr. Parkes, who had V 1 a clerk in the office of the soli i.;: citors, it seemed that a few 4. cl t ivs atter tne announcement of defer dant calld at the the formation of his railway, gig office in Bedford-row, and stated d.!: S 3 bad been e solicited by a friend of the firm to become a rtlei - ' , ..b P r o f the provi sional committee of the "Central Kent Raiewii •" The de fendant made several inquiries as to the course tb: line was to take, th e names of the of who were to be },!aced com m i ttee, and of those who had given their cot; sent thereto ; and had then stated that they were all most unob;ectionable, and that he should be very happy to be associated with them on the commit tee. He further, in the course of the conversation. manifested great intereet in the concern, and gave it as his opinion that the battle would be between that and the North Kent. The defendant eventually tett, handing his card to the witness, bearing his name engraver on it, and his de cription as a director of another tine, with his two places of residence written underneath. In the tirst prospectes that was printed after this interview an error was made in the description of the defendant. whereupon he called down at the office of the company, and begged that the correction might tie made. This alteration was subsequently carriedt out in accordance with his instructions. The eefendant was frequently at the office, but there was no evi dence to prove the meeting and acting of any -com mittee. Early in November, when the panic had set in, the defendant wrote a letter to the editor of the Times, de , noutecing the liberty which had been taken by persons con nected with several other companies in' placing his name on their lists of committees without his consent or permission, and stating that he had consented bat in two instances, of which one was the " Central Kent," to act upon a committee. On the 13th of October a circular was dispatched to him stating that the managing committee had come to the reso lution of allotting 150 shares to each committeeman, and expressing a desire to know what of that !lumber, or whether the whole, the defendant would like 'to have. The circular was transmitted to the defendant on the 15th of ifeteber, and on the succeeding day he wrote back to the effect that he intended to take the 150 shares. Early in November, however, he again called at the office, and inquired what was doing, and in the course of the conference with the se cretary he expressed it as his opinion that it would be un wise to allot shares to the public, because, in consequence of the panic, it was quite manifest that no one would take them up. He therefore suggested, as a wiser plan of action, that there should not be any allotment. The circular to the defendant as a committeeman, in re ference to the 150 shares, and the answer of that gentleman stating his intention to accept the whole number, were put in and read, as well as the registered consent of the defendant to become a member of the committee. ----- Mr. Street, of the advertising department of the Times, was then examined, and he proved the insertion of the ad vertisements in that journal, and the payment for such in sertions within two or three days after their appearing. The CHIEF BARON said, that if it was the course of busi ness that the advertising agent was liable to the paper for these matters, it did Ilk signify, so far as the present cause was concerned, whether the plaintiff had paid the money or not. 'The defendant, or the party from whom he received the order, was, at all events in the first instance, liable to the plaintiff. Mr. JERVIS begged his Lordship to take a note of the ob jection. The CHIEF BastoN—Csrtainly; but I think it is perfectly clear. Mr. C. Barker, an advertising agent, in Birchin-lane, proved that 10 per cent. was a low sum to charge as a com mission for the great trouble the agents were put to in these affairs. Mr. KNOWLES then said that he had witnesses from nearly every journal in London, and many in the country, to prove the insertion of the different advertisements, unless his Learned Friend would admit them. This admission having been made, Mr. JERVIS addressed the jury on behalf of the defendant, whose case, he submitted, stood upon a very different ground from that upon which all other railway cases that had as yet been presented had been based. In every other instance proof had been given that the committeemen had acted upon the committee; bet here there was a total absence of all evi lence to Chow that even a single meeting of the committee had ever taken place. There was no pretence for this ac ion against the defendant, for the real and the only parties (see ing that there had never been a meeting held) were the solicitors, and upon their shoulders alone the whole of the liabilities ought to rest. Then, there bad been something . like as many as twenty-two actions brought (as we under stood) for the recovery of this account ; so many, indeed, as that the parties, to save trouble, had had the form of the de clarations printed. He apprehended, that even up to the present moment, the law as to what would or what would not make a provisional committee man liable was not parti cularly clear. At all events, he should contend that the rig ht of action was against the party by whom the contract had been made. There could be no doubt who that party had been in this case. It was not the defendant, because there had never been any meeting of the committee, whilst the solicitors had given all .orders without any resolution of the committee to authorise them to incur any expenses. The CHIEF BARON told the jury that the question they would first have to consider was, whether the defen dant by becoming a member of this provisional committee had thereby authorised either the eolienors or the secretary, or indeed any meniber"of the committee of management. to publish to the world that he was a person who was responsible for the necessary expenses of forming and carry ing out the company. If they were of opinion that that consent gave such an authority ' then they would have to say whether the work alleged had been done and per formed, and if so, there could be no doubt but that the plaintiff was entitled to their verdict. He did not consider that the question as to with whom the contract was made was the most convenient mode in these cases of leaving the matter to the jury. Certainly it was not the most con venient in the present case. He would not therefore put the question of contract, which was a complicated question, to them. Then arose the question as to whether a man's name being in the list of a committee would render him liable. If a person gave his consent to his name being so placed, that act would authorise his being held out as a person who would be responsible for the payment of all necessary expenses. If that were done, there could be no doubt of the liability of the defendant. But of that they must be satisfied upon the evidence. Upon that point this was the testimony:—On the 26th of September last year the defendant called at the solicitors, and bad, as the witness had -proved, consented to become a member of the provisional committee, and on the let of October that consent was registered in pursuance of the late Act of Parliament, which required the registration of all committees of anything like a joint-stock company. In pur suance of that statute the names of the gentlemen consenting to become members of the committee of this company had been duly registered on the Ist of October. They would have to say whether the expenses which had been incurred with the plaintiff were reasonable and proper. A provisional committeeman must know that there were certain expenses ' which must be gone to, and that those expenses must be paid by some one or other. He must have known that ad vertiseinents were absolutely necessary to put forth a com pany before the public. Well, then did he, by consenting to act as a member of this provisional committee, authorise the solicitors or the secretary of the company to incur these necessary expenses? The next question which then arose was, did the plaintiff give credit to the company on the faith of the responsibility of the parties whose names were on the list of the committee? That was for the jury to determine on the evidence. It had been stated that there had been a large number of actions brought for the recovery of this claim. If that were so, it was highly improper, and be was not sure that the Court did not possess the power to prevent such a practice, if it could be proved that the object had been to create bills of costs. The jury, after a few minutes' cenFultation, returned a verdict fur the plaintiff— Damages, 5781. 4s. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.
