The election of a Member to represent this metro politan borough in Parliament, consequent on the resignation of Colonel Fox, who has accepted the office, under Lord John Russell's Government, of Surveyor-General of the Board of Ordnance, took place on Saturday at Stepney- green, afternoon at one o'clock. There being no opposition to the Gallant Colonel, who offered himself for re-election, the affair was as dull as anything of the kind could well be. At the hour of the proceedings commencing there were not more than three hundred persons present, and at any time there were not more than five hundred. The only circum stance that denoted the ordinary character of an election was the promise of a contest at the forthcoming general election, as apparent by the following hand-bill which was plentifully distributed about:— " The requisitions to L. Heyworth and G. Thompson, Esqs., to become candidates to represent this borough in Parliament have already received the signatures of several hundreds of electors, but as the existence of the present Parliament must of necessity be of very short duration, it is not considered advisable to con test the borough on this occasion. The prospect of a general election must therefore be borne in mind, and if the electors desire to have for their representatives men who are advocates of liberal principles, they must unite in a cordial invitation to such men as Messrs. Heywortb. and Thomp son, whose free-trade principles are not paralysed by the repeal of the corn-laws ; whose love of religious liberty will not permit them to support any State endowments of reli gion ; and whose sense of political justice is not limited by the Reform Bill, but includes the enfranchisement of all." The hustings and other arrangements for conducting the business of the nomination were of the most meagre and incomplete character—the former being made up of three old waggons, placed lengthwise, and covered with a piece of tarpaulin, which, when crowded with the members of the Gallant Colonel's committee, groaned and creaked in no ordinary manner. As far as it re- garded the press, accommosation there was none— the whole of the gentlemen representing the metropolitan journals being crowded together and forced to stand in a narrow space in front of the platform. With some difficulty, and after a remonstrance on the part of the reporters, a small rickety table, sufficient for two to write on, with a couple of chairs, were pro cured from a neighbouring public-house, and duly placed in front of the platform, for the accommodation of about twenty-four gentlemen of the " fourth estate." Amongst those present, connected with the Liberal interest of the borough, we recognised the following gentlemen:—G. Offor, Esq., Martineau, Esq., Sir E. N. Buxton, Mr. Salomons, Mr. Hammack, Mr. Oven den, Mr. Bewley, Mr. Atkins, Dr. Snow, Mr. Wire, Messrs.W. and J. Wright, Mr. J. Tanner, Mr. J. Stokes, Dr. Jenkins, &c., &c. The Returning Officer (Henry Child, Esq.) read the precept for the election, and the usual oaths being ad ministered, and the Act against bribery and corruption read, said that it was his duty, as returning officer, to remind them of the importance of the work they were now called upon to perform, not only with regard to themselves, but to the whole constituency of that im portant borough, as well as to the nation at large.— (Hear.) He trusted that they would treat any person who should present himself before them as a candidate that day respectfully, and with attention. He would just mention one circumstance, before concluding, to ahoy the necessity for discharging carefully the important trust reposed in them as electors.—(Hear.) The consti tuency of that borough consisted of 18,000 individuals, and he found by the returns, that at the time of the passing of the Reform Act there were but 9,800 electors in their borough, showing an in crease of nearly double since that period.—(Cheers.) It was now his duty to request that they would at once proceed to the business of the meeting—that was the election of a Member for the seat vacated by their late Member, Colonel Fox, in consequence of his having accepted the office of Surveyor-General of her Majesty's Ordnance. G. OFFOR, Esq., then came forward to propose Colonel Fox as a fit and proper person for the representation of the borough, and in so doing said he was perfectly satisfied that they were all agreed as to the excellence of the observations that had been made by the return ing officer as to the vast importance of the subject that had brought them together. It was of the highest inte rest to every man who lived in the Tower Haralets,whether he had a right to vote or not—whether it might be denied to him or not to vote in the election—it was a matter which he was sure they might congratulate them selves upon, that if a man was returned to Parlia ment, and then accepted a place under Govern ment, that he was at once returned to his constituents for them to say whether they were satisfied with his conduct, and whether they would trust them selves in his hands as their representative. —(Hear, hear.) If a man who was a Member of the House of Commons wished to get a situation of responsibility under Government, he was obliged to give up his place, and it was left to his constituents to say to such a one, "We have done with you—(Hear, hear)—you have disgraced yourself; you have injured us, and we will have nothing more to do with a man who, for the sake of profit or of honour, would give up his sentiments to have a situation under any Government whatever."—(Hear, hear.) But their case was totally different. In the case of the election of the Tower Ham lets they elected a gentleman to represent them in Par liament, one, who because he would not truckle—who, because he would not change his sentiments—who, be cause he stood firm to that party and to those senti ments with which he bad introduced himself to the electors of the Tower Hamlets, lost his situation, and had to retire into private life ; and it was only upon the return of his friends and his associates, and the men bearing his principles into power, that he consented again to serve his country by serving under the Government.—(Hear, hear.) He (Mr. Offer) was sure they never wished to see offices filled by men that were unworthy their trust ; they would not wish to see offices under Government filled by men who would truckle to any Administration. Their desire was to see them filled by honest and virtuous men, men who would do their duty to their country at large sad to their constituents. They wished to see such men placed in offices of trust, and however people might talk --and generally speaking those who did so talk had but very little information upon the subject—(llear, hear) — however they might talk of not having placeinen to re present them, he should be glad indeed to lied every placeman to be equal in honour, integrity, and worth, and who possessed the esteem of all who knew him, as did the Hon. Colonel who had represented them, and who, he hoped, would be again returned in triumph.— (Cheers.) He (Mr. Offer) had much pleasure in again introducing that Hon. Gentleman to their notice, and especially so when he knew that the Hon. Colonel was a man who was above all change, unless it were such a change as was required for the interests of the nation at large, and then he came forward to tell them in an honest and straightforward way, and left them to draw their own conclusions.—(Cheers.) Since he had the pleasure of meeting them upon a similar occasion wonderful changes had taken place Frith regard to the aspect of affairs in this country. The Whig Administration, torn as they were and rent by internal divisions, and continually harassed by their political opponents, were obliged to give up their situation, and then those who took their offices also took their measures, and the credit of having intro duced and passed them.—(Cheers.) They had originally introduced that most important of all measures, viz., that they should have cheap bread—(Cheers)—and he hoped that they would all now have a plen tiful supply of it, and that they would now return Colonel Fox, who had supported the late Government in their efforts to bring food to the people.—(Cheers.) Let them by doing so reward him for the manly manner in which he had supported the liberal party in the House of Commons, for having voted for Mr. Villiers's motions, to have an immediate and total abolition of those laws that impeded the operation of Providence, if he (Mr. Offer) might so speak — (Cheers.)—and which prevented the proper supply of food, and created scarcity throughout these realms. —(Cheers.) But there had also been some other most important alterations.—[Some confusion was here created by a person in the crowd attempting to speak, when Mr. Offer said, I hope every man will have an opportunity of speaking fairly and freely.]—(Ch eers .) There had then (said Mr. Offer in resuming) been some most important alterations. The Whig Govern ment, from dire necessity, left the treasury empty, and the Government almost bankrupt. The Tory Government had now a great taxation, from which they had relieved the poor at last, and righteously placed the public bnrdens upon the shoulders of the rich.—(Cheers.) By these means, • --eaaaced, they bad filled the national treasury aKain r ne withand b al a l d t t h h e us ad e v n a a ja b t j a e g u i e 3 :1 1 W of it hfigullA;nelattyr:tioagbation go,to . _ that so bind Myself. —(tielr, hear.) 'As 't.(l the question of universal suffrage, I will observe that I am not prepared to say that I will not sup port a gradual extension of the suffrage, the subject goes hand in hand with education, and I for one would be very glad to see the people fitted to hold such a power by the blessings of education—(Hear, hear)—and with reference to the other question put to me, I can give no pledge whatever. I am a friend to religious liberty in its fullest extent, but it would be exceedingly improper in me to give a pledge upon the subject, especially when I am aware that the greater portion of my fellow-countrymen hold opinions adverse to those of the last speaker.—(Cheers.) Mr. Box did not wish to be troublesome. Mr. CHILDS, the returning officer, then put the matter :o the vote, and after the show of hands, declared Charles Richard Fox, Esq., to be the representative of the Tower Hamlets. Colonel Fox, in presenting himself to the electors. felt great diffidence in replying to the several ob• servations which had been addressed to him but in doing so he felt bound to _ acknowledge he courtesy which had been shown to him on the pre- sent occasion, and especially to his friend Mr. Offor. He had for five years represented them in Parliament, and during that time he was not aware that there had been any cause for forfeiting the good opinion which the people had expressed on his last election. He could well echo the opinions oi his friend Mr. Offor, and state that he had the oppor• tunity of withdrawing any of his opinions on the corn laws, but this he could not do, for he had uniform): advocated the principles of free intercourse of the peoph of different countries. During the last five years such had been his policy, and such was the policy which he determined to observe. Thus, then, with regard to tin. important measure of the corn-laws, there were other considerations to be taken into account. With regard to the corn-laws, he was happy that any measure had been propounded which was likely to bring bread cheaper to the poor man's house. He rejoiced that the Ministers lately in power had been sufficiently ready tip carry their measures. With respect to the corn laws, he should observe that nothing more could possibly have arisen to confirm the opinion which he had always entertained towards the measures of those who were, until now, her Majesty's Ministers. He believed them to _be most important measures, and such as should be received with all respect. He would not talk much of the speech of his Hon. Friend, but there was one point to which he was bound to allude, and that was the effect likely to be wrought on the commercial policy of the country by the repeal of the corn-laws. On this subject he had few observations to offer, but the bulk of them might be comprised in the assertion that their repeal would be of infinite benefit to the community at large. With respect to the grant to Maynooth College, all he had to say was, that on all subjects there ought to be a libe rality of feeling, and of course the greatest liberality was to be expected on the question of religion ; and certainly, in the assertion of their just rights, the Roman Catholics would have his support. Had his feelings, indeed, been consulted, this relief would have been granted long ago. But he did not doubt but that the House of Commons would soon recognise their claims, and that the relief sought would be effectually afforded. With respect to the poor-laws, he was quite ready to give in his adhesion to the assertion that they were necessary for the general wel• fare. If they could be modified so as to meet the com mon objects of society all the better, but this he did not anticipate. He only looked for a modification of the system at present. With respect to the subject of edu cation, he was bound to say that it would obtain his warmest support ; but yet he did hope that, in under taking it, the Government would have a special refe rence to the condition of the people. With respect to universal suffrage, he must frankly declare that he was not at present prepared to go its whole length. The richer and more intelligent classes had already their opportunities, and his impression was that at the present -moment the extension of the suffrage would be of no benefit whatever. There was another subject of very great importance, to which he had not as yet alluded— that was the health of Towns Commission, which is proposed for limiting the erection of buildings which shall have the effect of preventing the free action of the air around the dwellings of the poor. Then there was the question of the sewerage of that extensive dis trict. In considering the position of the several parties thus engaged, they must not forget those for whom their support had been solicited, and, in remembering this, they would also remember that there was a reason alleged for their support of a principle which is inherent in the constitution, and for which no men had struggled more strenuously than themselves. He trusted he had answered every question which had been put to him; he thought he had, but if not he should be glad to meet the inquiries of any gentleman who might be dissatisfied with his Parliamentary conduct.—(Loud cheers.) Mr. HORTON thought the explanation of their candidate was quite satisfactory, but yet he thought that the constituency ought to be satisfied on some points, especially those that had reference to civil and religious liberty. There was nothing comparable to this, and when he recollected that the confines of this borough included the number of 68,000 souls, and that the parish had only 38,000, he considered the evidence to be conclusive of the course which ought to be pursued by all parties. The sugar duties were now engaging the whole world, and the sooner this question was settled the better.—(Hear.) They might think they were getting sugar for sd. a pound, but he was a grocer himself, and could tell them a different tale.—(A laugh.) After some further observations deprecating delay in the pass ing of other measures of a similar nature and of the terms Whig and Tory, the speaker concluded by asking the Hon. Member (Colonel Fox) whether he would ad vocate the abolition of church-rates. Colonel Fox said, that though advised not to answer the question, he would do so. He would give his as sistance, without pledging himself to any specific mea sure, to the removal of any unjust restrictions in this particular.—(Cheers.) Colonel Fox proposed a vote of thanks to the return. ing officer, which was seconded by Mr. OFFOR, and acknowledged by Mr. Child. The meeting then separated. THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS During the last week, a great deal of rain has fallen in this country, much to the advantage of the barley crops, the turnips, &c. Last Saturday and Sunday were two extremely hot days ; it seems to be allowed, by universal consent, that the latter was one of the most oppressive, from the heat, ever experienced. In the afternoon the wind rose, and about six o'clock blew a perfect hurricane, raising the dust and rubbish on the roads like a whirlwind. From that time, the air be came cooler, and was much more refreshing. Heavy clouds passed over the city a short time subsequently, charged with electric matter and rain, but they did not burst in this vicinity.—The wheats hare now a very promising appearance, especially in the eastern division of this county, in the neighbourhood of East Ruston, Ludham, Loddon, Chedgrave, Yelverton, and other places. There is plenty of straw, and every pro• bability of an abundant yield. There are, also, splendid fields of wheat in the neighbourhoods of Dereham, Walsingham, and Fakenham. In fact, it is int possible for the wheat crops to look more promising than at the present time on soils of every description, and the only anxiety felt by the farmers is, lest the heavy showers should now lay and bruise those which are heavy in the ear. Should the present weather continue for a rew days, the harvest will probably commence in a fort night. So favourable an account cannot be given of the barleys. The soils in the principal barley districts being light and sandy, have been completely parched up during the late long and continued drought. In the neighbourhoods of Thetford, Croxton, Wretham, and indeed in all that part of Norfolk, the barleys on the most exposed places begin to die off ; and those which were in more sheltered situations from the sun, were in ear, with the straw but a very few inches long. A very extensive grower in that district says, he has not had so short a crop of barley for fourteen years. Still, on the richer and more heavy soils, there are many fields of very . fine barley, of good colour and of average.length in straw, and the late abundant showers every day make a great improvement in these crops. It is said that the yield of oats will be deficient this har vest. The turnips begin to assume a better appearance, Even on the light soils they are in a very forward state. There is a field of turnips at Cawston, sown on the Northumberland plan. The leaves are spread from one ridge and lodged upon those of the next ; and about a dozen persons were last week employed in hoeing them; but the policy of sowing turnips early, on light soils, is called in question by practical farmers, who affirm that the crop is likely to be deteriorated in quality, and more liable to mildew. Generally speaking, the turnips are not in so forward a state as at this time last year ; but the change in the weather has much improved the crop. The hay harvest may be considered as over, though in the neighbourhood of Derehatn a few fields may be seen not yet carried.—Norfolk Chronicle. HERRING FISHERY.—The first iittempt at the herring fishery Was made hero last night, and was attended with in different success. Three boats were off and each of them returned with 100 herrings, which are reported to bo very small in size. A greater number of boats are to go off on Monday night.

The arguments were this day concluded, and his I honour, in giving judgment, said that on the substlnee if the case he thought the plaintiff had stated sufficient to support his bill. Some observations had been made for the purpose of disparaging the character of Mr. Co lumbine, but he could not see that there was anything to impeach his conduct. The bill stated that the plaintiff had made many inquiries, and used great exertions in procuring information, and in transacting the correspon dence requisite for the formation of a company te con struct a railway from Londoa to Exeter direct. He had Ihen entered into negotiations with several gentlemen, who became provisional directors of the railway. These gentlemen, wishing afterwards to have the entire ma nagement and control of the affairs of the company, had entered into an agreement with the plaintiff, who was to give up all the information he had obtained, and was o receive 1,500 shares, upon which the deposit was to oe considered as paid. Subsequently, at a meeting of the shareholders, this agreement was varied to the extent that Mr. Columbine was to receive only 1,000 shares, and 8121. 103. in cash. The agreement was per reedy fair, and the only way of disputing it would be to ,ay that the sum was too much ; but the very people who were to judge of the matter agreed that such should he the payment. This agreement was afterwards signed by Sir J. Chichester, the chairman of the meeting at which the subject was discussed, but it was not de livered to the plaintiff. The plaintiff, however, per formed his part of the agreement by giving up all the information he possessed respecting the railway. Ms Honour could see no reason why such an agreement should not be performed. One of the objections raised was that the bill asked for shares which the directors had no power to give, since they had been already al lotted. He could see no reason for this difficulty, as the only statement was that the shares might have been illotted. He could not, therefore, assume that the Erectors had no further shares to allot. It had been argued that the committee could not allot shares with ,alt receiving a deposit, but he could not understand that there was anything in that objection, for where there was a creditor of the company it came to the same thing whether that creditor took money or shares. He thought, upon the substance of the case, the plaintiff was right, and he should, therefore, overrule the demurrer to the bill. ebridutt t 4 -6 Government•• (Flear,fteSEr Now no man, perhaps, should 14 more opposed to the in - - come-tax than himself, because he had to pay such a heavy income-tax, and 'els family was very large ; :sir Robert Peel, bowel , ar, he now greatly esteemed, although he did not at one time.—(Cheers and laughter.) He had ten children, and his share of the public burdens was very heavy ; but Sir Robert Peel and those who had supported him had been the means of obtaining cheap food for his family, and he had thus in a great measure been compensated.—(Cheers.) He could now purchase sugar at sd. instead of Bd. (Hear, hea r)—and he, in conjunction with his children, were now the better enabled to obtain the sweets of life.—(Laugh ter.) The speaker then dilated on the benefits which the electors and the nation at large would reap from the proposed scheme of public education, and was loudly cheered. Col. Fox, he said, was an ardent supporter of that measure, and therefore well entitled to their support. Another great question was religious freedom-- there should be perfect freedom in matters regarding reli gious feelings and religious principles. Whether a man were a Mahometan, or a Jew, or a Christian, he should be equally estimable in proportion as he was a good citizen, and a good subject to the Queen, and a valuable man in the state, and there should be no differ ence made of one kind or other. They should all stand upon a perfect equality, and the state should respect them all in proportion to the goodness of their minds.—( At this moment considerable confusion was caused in conse quence of some portions cf the fragile and temporary erec tion having given way, and depositing its superincumbent load upon the ground.) He was sorry for the little mishap that had happened. He hoped that the time was not far distant when they should have a good Town-hall, where they could meet for the transaction of the business connected with the borough, and not be compelled to meet in the open air, though, thank Providence, they met under favourable circum stances.—(A voice, "No thanks to you. It's a fine day.") He proposed, therefore, that for the rest of the session they should place in the hands of Colonel Fox that trust which, in consequence of his appointment to a high official station, he had been compelled to re sign, and that he, in conjunction with Sir W. Clay , should be enabled at the next general election to come before them and give a favourable account of their stew ardship, and that he would then be able to satisfy his constituents, however they might have differed with him upon smaller points— on the May nooth question, or upon subjects, which they did not understand so well as Members of Parliament, in conse quence of their having fuller information on the subject than they could possibly have. But, taking them as a whole, and judging of them as a whole, he thought they were entitled to their fullest confidence ; and that they were entitled to their support, as persons who would not deceive them, or betray that trust ; and he challenged any man present to say that the Hon. Member had not fulfilled all the pledges he had made when first elected. He had faithfully attended to all the interests of that great and important borough. He called upon the electors to recollect that they had to use their suffrage not only for themselves, but on behalf of those who had no vote, but who should have. The Gallant Colonel,whom they were called upon to re-elect, was not only to be returned as a Member to represent the interests of the Tower Hamlets and attend to their interests—he was also to consider what would be conducive to the interests of the whole kingdom. There had been no dissimula tion, no truckling, on the part of the Hon. Member, in his Parliamentary career—he had always been ready to do his best for the interests of the borough—he had always attended to the requests of the elec tors.—(Hear, hear.) He did not mean that he had obtained situations or places for every person who might have asked him, he meant that he had always attended to their requests upon points connected with the good of the Tower Hamlets, and had always ma naged their Bills. In conclusion, he thanked them fur the kind attention they had given him, and proposed to nominate Colonel Charles Richard Fox as a fit and proper person to represent the interests in Parliament of the borough of the Tower Hamlets. Mr. MARTINEAU, in seconding the nomination of the Gallant Colonel, said, the great question for the electors to consider was, whether Colonel Fox, by his general con duct in Parliament and his particular votes there, had redeemed those public professions which he made on the hustings, when he was elected in July, 1841. For his part he thought he had; and if the electors agreed with him in that opinion, it became their duty to re-elect him. Among Colonel Fox's votes in Parliament there was one to which he would particularly call their attention; that was when the Colonel, in the spring of 1843, nobly came forward, and left the party with which he had been associated, to support Mr. 'Villiers when he made his motion for the abolition of the corn-laws. That was not very easy at that time when Mr. Villiers had but few supporters ; for he bad not then the sup port of a majority of the House, as was his lot at a subsequent period. That was much for the Colonel to do so soon after his election. He (Mr. Martineau) gave thanks to the Government, thanks to the Anti-Corn-law League, and thanks to Richard Cobden, for those exer tions by which the question of the abolition of the corn laws had been successfully carried. That he thought was the first great public question which had been carried out of the Houses. Parliament only came in the second rank, and carried what the people wished and willed to have. Standing where he did, however, he could not but lament that the electors bad not the assistance of a worthy man, he meant Mr. William Coates. That gentleman was ever ready to assist on every question, but particularly for the abolition of the corn-laws. That subject used to be his great hobby, and the electors might well lament that he had been taken away from amongst them but a few months before the triumph. It was easy, he said, to be a free- trader in these days, but it was by no means so six years ago. He remembered well that night in May, 1841, when Lord John Russell was outvoted on the question of the corn laws; he k Mr. Martineau) was under the gangway, and he recollected seeing Lord John rising like a lion, and telling his opponents that he knew those who were op posed to him. He well knew who would vote against him, headed by their presidents and vice-presidents, their secretaries and under-secretaries, the landed inte rest, the sugar interest, the shipping interest, the Canada interest—he told them they might be too much for him, and turn him out, but he prophecied that free-trade principles would be triumphant, and the abolition of the corn laws would be gradually com pleted—that it must and should he carried. Lord John in that showed he was a true prophet; but he failed to prophecy that the leader of the protectionists (Sir R. Peel) would within five years eat his own words, discard his own opinions, abandon his own principles, and come down as the Commissioner of the Queen, and say that the abolition of the corn-laws was founded in true policy and justice. He said the corn-laws would soon be completely abolished, and their business now was to carry out those free-trade principles in regard to the articles which formed the weekly expense of the la'iouring man, and they could not do so better than by re electing Colonel Fox, who, as connected with the Go vernment, had the power equally as the will to assist them. He cordially seconded the nomination of Col. Fox as the representative of the borough. The RETURNING OFFICER then requested to know whether there was any other candidate to be nominated? Mr. Box (a parish schoolmaster) said there was.— (Hisses.) He had been told by the returning officer that they had met on that day to discharge a most important duty, and he heartily con curred in that observation, for its importance would not be confined to that borough, but would extend through out the whole country, an d to ever y p art of the world. where the dominion of Eng land p revailed. He should take care not to trespass on th eir time at any length ; and if the Gallant Colonel should answer the ques tions he was about to put to him in such a manner as he would deem satisfactory, he would with hold the nomination which he had threatened. (Laughter.) He had two questions to put ; there would hare been a third, were it : {tot for .the settlement of the corn question, but m uch y et remained to be done. With regard to free trade , however, he considered th a t the Gallant Colonel came u p to his mark upon th e question of free-trade.—(Laughter.) There were two other points which he conceived to be of vast import. ance; and the questions lie wished to put were with reference to them. He des ired to know whether Col . Fox was ready to use hi s influence, as a Memb er of the fLoergtihsleatpueroep,lein?_o(rdacerart: hear, and confusion.) obtain a co m pl ete suffrage The other question he would w ish to p ut was, whether he was prepared to advocate and p romote a total severa nce his be desiretwee ncivtihlaatndthee ques tion know n as th e Anti-Statecclesiastical affa irs?— (Hear.) It was Church question, should be agitated until it would meet the same fate as that of the corn-laws.—(H ear , hear.) Ile begged most respectfully to say, that a very considerable number of ardent and fervent spirits were ready to do their utmost that these subjects should meet with a full and fair discussion. Colonel Fox—l beg most distinctly to let it be under stood that I will give no pledge whatever relative ti these subjects.. I declared my p rinci p les in 1841, and it is for you . to ' say ifl have swerved fr om them.---(Hear, hear, and cheering.)

Mr. SHEPPEARE applied for an injunction to restrain the defendant, who is a watchmaker, from making or selling watches with the name of Arnold upon them. ft appeared that the plaintiff had. purchased the watch making business from the executors of Mr. Arnold, and had continued to use his name. The defendant had lately been making watches, and stamping the plates Kith this name. The VICE-CHANCELLOR considered it was an infringe ment of the plaintiff's trade mark, and he should, there fore, grant the injunction. RAILWAY DEPOSITS. The following deposits were ordered to be paid ou of Court, to the under-mentioned railway companies: 32,5001, to the Exeter and Great Western Branch, re jected ; 18,9741. to the Bristol and South Wales Junc• tion, passed ; and 10,4491. to the Dover and Deal Rai' way, passed. (Before Sir K. BRUCE.) ♦TTORNEY-GENERAL V. PEARSON. His Honour delivered judgment in this case, which had been previously argued. It was an information filed at the relation of two persons named Jos. J. Rae and Richard Thain, against certain persons forming part of a public body of officers acting as trustees under the Acts of Parliament for regulating the affairs of the parish of St. Mary, Islington, complaining that a sum of 4001. had been wrongfully applied by the defendants as trustees under the Act, and praying that they might be decreed to repay the same. It appeared that about three years ago, a person named Eliot, resident at Islington, being considered by the trustees as a dan gerous lunatic, had been forcibly carried to the work house by order of the defendant, and there confined In a strait waistcoat. He was afterwards discharged, and thereupon brought actions against the parties who had been concerned in his removal. Actions were brought against Allen, Tyas, and Western, in respect of the personal aggression, and against Hicks, the re lieving officer; Ellis, the master of the workhouse; Simple, the parish surgeon ; and Beavan, another officer of the parish. Another action was also brought against Older shaw, the clerk of the trustees, and another person acting under him, in respect of the removal of his goods. In the former of these actions Eliot recovered 4001. damages, and in both actions he recovered costs. The damages and costs had been paid by the defendants out of the poor-rates, and the question was whether this was a legal payment. His honour, after going through the facts of the case at great length, said, for the purpose of deciding this question, he must look at the particular evidence now adduced with respect to Eliot. First came the in terval between the 26th of November, 1842, and his being brought to' the workhouse ; secondly, his stay in the workhouse ; and thirdly, his transit to the Court of the police magistrate, and the proceedings which took place there. As to Eliot's apparent state of mind, his Honour had carefully considered the evidence, and he was satisfied, from his language and conduct before and on the 28th of November, 1842, and on former occasions, and in the interval between that day and the time of his liberation at the police court, that he was in a state of insa nity, likely, if unwatched and unrestrained, to do some mischief, and quite unfit, both on his own account, and for the sake of others, to be left to himself. Another point was as to his means at the time. On that subject he was convinced, from the situation he was in, and the circumstances which happened at the time of his recep tion into the workhouse, he was in such a state of po verty and destitution as would render him liable to re ceive parish relief, and that the order for his admission into the house was both reasonable and unavoidable, and he believed it was issued without any unlawful or improper intention. On the contrary, he thought the granting of it was praiseworthy and commendable. He should now consider narticularly the first period of time he had mentioned. fn that respect he was satisfied that neither the trustees nor Mr. Oldershaw, Mr. Sim, or Mr. Hicks directed or authorised the placing of Eliot under restraint, for the purpose of removing him to the workhouse ; nor did he think he was bound judicially to believe that Ellis had any participation in that act. If this view were correct, might it not be said that if Eliot had not been admitted, the trustees or the other per sons he had mentioned, might have been properly sued by Eliot for not admitting him ? He should say, yes ; and he thought it was quite proper to have received him into the house. Then as to his stay in the workhouse. He did not think that he had been treated with either inhumanity or neglect. Whether the continuance of thy restraint was strictly justifiable in point of law was a question he had not fully determined upon, but he thought all the proceedings were taken from the most proper motives. From all the circumstances of this case he much doubted whether the action of Eliot and Alien ought ever to have been brought, and he consi dered the damages given by the jury were prodigious. His Honour thought the resolution of the board of trus tees, by which they authorised a defence to the action, was reasonable and just. Another resolution of the board authorises the payment of the costs and damages out of the parish rates. The • object of this in formation being to compel the defendants to re fund the sums which had been paid out of the parish rates, the question was, whether the Court ought to en force that claim. Before the information was filed two vestry meetings were held, but at neither of these were the rates repeated out of which the costs and expenses had been paid. His Honour thought, under the general law applicable to rates and overseers' accounts, it was quite right to provide for these expenses. It was evident that Oldershaw acted as the officer of the trustees ; they had many public duties to perform, out of which ques , ions might frequently arise ; numbers of persons were placed under their care, and it had happened that one was .Ifflictel with insanity—a complair.t from which neither he rich nor poor were exempt. The authority to be esed in such cases was very hazardous ; but how were the trustees to act ? If steps were not immediately taken some fatal extravagance might be com mitted. The duty to be performed on such occasions ought not to be considered slight. It was contended that relief must be granted against the de fendants upon the authority of the case of Attorney- General v. Compton, decided by himself. He thought however, that that case did not in any manner rule or govern this. The facts of the two cases were mate rially different. He thought this information ought to be dismissed. He should dismiss it because he con sidered the acts complained of were acts of trustees of the parish of Islington, and done without any wrong in tention, either on the part of themselves or their agents. For his own part he firmly believed that they had all acted justly in the execution of their duty, and with judgment, diligence, and honesty. As to costs, he should dismiss the inibrmation with them, unless there was an intention to appeal ; if there was (and he should neither countenance nor discountenance an appeal), then he thought it would be right to dismiss it without costs, un til such appeal were decided ; whatever might be the fate of the information on appeal, he trusted that means would be found in this opulent parish to cover the ex penses of the suit. It was subsequently elected that the appeal should be dismissed without costs. INSOLVEN7' DEBTORS' COURT, July 11. Mary Morris, au old woman ' was opposed by Mr. Cjoke for Miss Alice Phillips. She was undefended by counsel. Tho complaint was, that the insolvent was indebted to Miss Phillips, the owner of a board and lodging-house in Foley-place, for damages recovered in an action for libel. The action was tried in February, 1844, from which period until October last, the insolvent had been residing In France, to elude the execution at the suit of the plaintiff in the action. The CHIEF COMMISSIONER, in pronounehg judgment, said the damages were considerable. The libel was a serious one, and he was empowered by the Act to delay the discharge for a period of two years. The insolvent had been in prison since October last, but the vesting order, from which the judgment would proceed, was made in May last. The judgment of the Court was, that the insolvent should be discharged when she had been in prison for a period of seven calendar months from the vesting order, for the damages awarded in an action of 141, The Learned Commissioner intimated that the effect of the judgment would be to keep the in solvent some months in prison, which, with the im prHonment she had airel , ,dy undergone, would make a pc! iQd of fifteen months, at the suit of the complaining Fa ty.

G UILD HALL._ , • On Saturday Andrew Fa:elects, an inngerian, Ra s brought up for the purpose of putting in bail for nii appearance at the next Londcn Sessions, to answer the follosving most outrageous assault on two unfortua nate females. 03 last Tuesday night he was wandering about Far" ringdon-street in rather a merry mood, and making friends with Mary Ann Jones, a girl of colour, hiring , -- on Saffron-hill, and Margaret Mitchell, both unfortn" rates. He invited them into a public-house to partake of some refreshments. There they had sundry draughts of rum, gin, ale, stout, &c., and on leaving, about one o'clock in the morning, he invited them both home to his lodgings, in Albion-buildings, Bartholomew-clo se, to which place they retired ; and in the morning, when they asked him for some money, he flew to his razor,' 9 case and threatened to cut their throats. The girls made their way out of the window, the door be in g locked, on to the parapet ; and a policeman seeing one of the females hanging from the parapet, made his wet up stairs, rescued the woman, and took the prisoner into custody. The prisoner stated that he used the violence owing to the girls atttempting to steal some silver spoons an d his money. This statement the girls most positively denied. t Sir P. LAURIE said it was one of the most atrociouS cases that he had ever met with, and the prisoner mio be thankful that the poor girl had not fallen from the parapet. The prisoner was then liberated on heavy bail to aP' pear at the ensuing London sessions. MAR YLE B ONE. On Saturday, an Irish labourer Wand his wife, name d He were charged with having, on the 2d insta ll " used the most brutal treatment towards their daught er Mary lleffernon, a child of about nine years old. The m ale prisoner was accused with having tied a cord round he r , neck, and attempting to strangle her, and that not beillb able to effect his purpose, he doubled the cord twice o'ber and flogged her very severely, and afterwards tied he, to the bed-post. The female prisoner was accused wi t dipping the child into a large tub of water five or t times. Owing to the absence of some important wit nesses, against whom warrants have been grant ed secure their attendance, the case was adjourned not , ' Wednesday next. The child is at present at the Marl lebone workhouse. CLERKENWELL. On Saturday, a police constable named Shore charged an unfortunate female with improper condtici was himself proved to have been guilty of the condi le which he made a ground of charge against the fetes': It was because she refused to return him a silk han: t kerchief which he gave her that he made the comPl s ':, in question. The prisoner denied this, but his wife 10 " called, and she identified the handkerchief as her 11115' band's property. Mr. GREENWOOD discharged the female, and tli c : policeman's conduct is to be reported to the P oi ' Commissioners. CROYDON. n al On Saturday a good-looking young woman, appar_e„ By not more than eighteen years old, named Julia bY'O, was brought before Messrs. Lucas, Kemmis and W il k son, the presiding magistrates, on a charge of felon ious intermarrying with Charles Wells at the parish chi. of Croydon, her husband, William Egan, being alive- el. Julia Coles, the daughter of the sexton of ,f n , Sepulchre's Church, deposed that, on the 13th of 7„5 tember, 1845, the prisoner, accompanied by a man, c i s to her father's house and gave notice of their mteut 3 , to be married on the following day. They were s e i t , cordingly married, and as they stated that they W "01) disappointed in not having the attendance of a Pe'', 0 who was to be bridesmaid, they wanted her to o'o such, and she did so. She was sure the prisoner 1/ 0 the same person who was married at the tinie question. • tak e° The prisoner declared the witness was pals , There was no truth in what she had stated. e o, William Coles, the sexton, father of the last W 1 confirmed her statement with regard to the marrisCsy Charles Stevens said he was an acquaintance 01 . j parties, and he remembered meeting the p r isoner t 7 e o Egan at the London terminus, and he accompanie d t or to the church, and saw them married, and spent the with them. _ lot The prisoner here again declared it was all She had never been married but once. r Charles Wells, the second husband, deposed tbs.,. t, was married to the prisoner on Sunday, the sth - at Croydon Old Church. By the Bench—The prisoner was taken into cu lt r immediately after the ceremony, upon the ch at bigamy.
