The further arguments in the part-heard mo tion of Ne.dham v. Needhnm occupied his L'.Jrd,hip the whole morning. it OLLS' COUR .-( THIS DA Y.) CROSBIE 0. CHURCH. This was an application to set aside an order v ith respect to this case, made in Chancery in 1840, in conse quence of a defect in the evidence. His LORDSHIP ordered the papers to be handed in, in order to bring the facts of the case to his mind. BUCK V. BOUCHER. This was a petition on t :e part of the defendant, praying that a sum of 2531. in Court to the credit of this case should be invested in the purchase of Bank Three per Cent. Annuities ; and that a sumiof 90/. 16s. Bd., interest on the said sum, should also be similarly dis posed of. 'The sum claimed was the reside' of property to which the petitiuntr bad become entitled by the will of the testator. The case was ordered to stand over. POOLE V. POOLE. This was an application for an order to direct the Master to tax costs. It appeared that the plaintiffs were three out of five ci.ilclren of the testator, Mr. Jeremiah Poole, and that the defendants were the other two children. The testator had given his estates to his brother, in trust for his chldren till the youngest should have attained her majority, when he directed that they should be sold, and the money divided equally between his wife and children. A decree had been obtained in the case, and the matter was eventually referred to the Master. Costs had been übsequently incurred, and the object of the application was to have the same taxed.—The order was granted. The remaining unoppofed petitions on the list were then proceeded with, none of which possessed a particle of public int( rest. VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY,). .(13etore the VICE CHANCELLOR Of ENGLAND.) His Honour the Vice-Chancellor of England, after disposing of the unopposed cause petitions on Isis paper, proceeded to give judgment in the case of DAVIS V. COMBERMERE. This case came before the Court previous to the Christmas recess, upon the petition of Mr. Davis and Mr. Fitzpatrick, the two surviving trustees of the late Mr. Fulke Greville, praying that the Court would order the Master to allow them to appear before him, and watch the proceedings in his office with reference to the sale of certain property belonging► to the testator in the cause. It appeared from the statements of his Honour that the testator, Mr. Fulke Greville, devised all his real estates to three trustees upon certai❑ trusts, that one of those trustees was dead, and that the plaintiff; Mr. Davis, and another g' ntleman, named Fitzpatrick, were the two surviving trustees, and also executors of the will of the decased. They fi!ed their bill for the purpose of having the provisions of the will executed, and a bill had been also filed by Mr. Fulke Greville, the sone of the deceased, for the same purpose. When the case came before the Court, one decree was pronounced in both causes, and the plaintiff in the second cause was ordered to have the carriage of the decree. By that decree it was directed by the Court that certain pro perty belonging to the testator should be sold, and ac counts were also directed to be taken before the Master. To carry these orders into effect, it was necessary thatcertain parties should attend before the Master, and the trustees submitted that they were entitled to perform that duty. The Master decided against their claim, and the result was the presentation of this petition. His Honour, after going into the case at some length, stated his opinion to be that the trustees were entitled to attend before the Master when the question was with reference to the purchase of estates, but where they were to be sold the trustees were not necessary parties before the Master. The result of his Honour's decision was to dismiss the petition of the trustees, but without costs. THE DUKE OF BEAUFORT V. SIR JOHN MORRIS JUDGMENT. His ElONoun also gave jndgment on this motion, which was argued previous to the Christmas recess, upon an application on behalf of the noble plaintiff for an injunction to restrain the defendants from working coal mines in Wales in the manner in which they were doing, on the ground of great injury to the mines cf the plaintiff. , His HONOUR declined granting the injunction on the extended form asked by the notice of motion, but ordered an injunction to issue, restraining the defendants from working their collieries in a manner that was calculated to injure the mines of the plaintiff. The Court then proceeded to hear motions. (Before Vice-Chancellor KNIGHT BRUCE.) BILLING V. WEBB (exceptions). BILLING V. WEBB (further directions). His HONOUR, in giving judgment, did not allow or overrule any of the exceptions, and declared upon the exceptions and further directions, that there was no personal estate, that the real estate should be sold for the payment of debts, and that there were no debts due to or from Trendal or Alloway. All costs whatever were reserved. PIERCE V. FRANKS. The plaintiff, successor to the Messrs. Smyths, Bond street, obtained an injunction against defendant, who is a brush-maker in Southwark, to restrain him from stamping his brushes with " Smyths, Bond-street," a mark which, in so far as it affects the sale of the goods, is the private property of Mr. Pierce. The cause was heard to day, and his Honour, without hesitation, granted a perpetual injunction in terms of the bill, and gave costs to the plaintiff; except so far, if at all, the costs had been affected by an allegation in the bill that the defendant, in addition to the words" Smyths, Bond street," had used the private marks of the plaintiff, which was left unsupported by evidence. Whatever expenses had been incurred in eons( quenee of this was to be re funded to the defendant by Mr. Pierce. (Before Vice Chancellor WiGnAm.) THORNHILL V. DYER. His HoNoun delivered judgment to-day on the excep tions taken by the defendants on the original bill. That bill was filed to recover 4,000/. on the estates of Mr. Thornhill, alleged t. have been placed in Mr. Thorn hill's hands in trust. The defendants on this filed a cross bill for discovery, and an answer was put in, to which the plaintiffs in the cross bill took exceptions. The Master's finding on these exceptions was that all ere bad, and that the costs of them should be paid by the plaintiffs in the cross bill. They took exceptions to this finding in both its divisions ; first, that all the ex ceptions were n, t bad ; and second, that the defendants should pay the costs. His Honour allowed the first of these general exceptions to the Master's finding, and disallowed the second, as to the costs. After having gone through the original exceptions, the subject of this finding, seriatim, his Honour expressed his hope that parties would nut proceed further in the same inefficient course. BAIL COURT.—(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Justice WILLIAMS.) THE Q UEEN V. THE TOWN COUNCIL OF THE BOROUGH OF BOLTON. Mr. COWLING applied for a rule to show cause why a mandamus should not issue commanding the town council of the borough of Bolton to pay to the treasurer for the county of Lancashire the sum of 857/. 1 Is. 3d., and also the sum of 793/. 195., as their share of the ex penses of the county. The Learned Counsel stated that the borough of Bolton, in the county of Lancashire, had by a recent Act received the right of appointing a coroner and holding a quarter sessions. By the 117th secti ,n of Will. IV., chap. 76, it was enacted that the treasurer for the county should keep an account of all expenses incurred by any borough which had the right of n a holding ls,or thea holdingquarter n p q r u o e s ec s t s u , t i an on h n d o f c should ri m i afterwards deduct such expenses from the sum at which the borough was rated for the expenses of the county. There could he no doubt that th e b oroug h of Bolton' carve expressly under this regulation, and accordingly, on the 24th of November, 1843, the county treasurer had sent his account up to the 24th of June in th' same year, with a request that the town council would make an order for the payment of it. The town council made an orr,denwhich was presented to their trea r, accord ingly, suread thatgentleman declared his perfect willingness to liquidate the amount, but that he had not the funds to do so in his possession. This fact was stated to the town council, with a request that they would make a borough rate to pay it, but, in consequence of no such step being taken, an application to this Court was considered necessary. He (Mr. Cowling) considered the case a very proper one for a rule.—The rule was granted. IN RE RICHARDSON. Sergeant MANNING moved for a rule to strike an at torney off the rolls under the following circumstances. It appeared that on the 25th of July, 1837, a Mr. John Richardson died intestate. His widow, Sarah, within three months of his decease applied to a certain attorney living near Woolwich, to obtain for her letters of ad ministration, and for that purpose she gave him Si. She was accompanied by a Mr. Peck, the obligor to the widow, and she took the necessary oaths befor the surro gate. As the day on which this proceeding took place was market day, Mr. A. 8., the attorney requested them to at tend upon the secretary on the Friday following for the purpose of completing them. They accordingly attended at the time and place indicated by A. 8., and were in formed by him that he had obtained the letter of adrni ni,tration, but had left them at Norwich. On their applying on a subsequent occasion, another excuse was offered, and alter more than 100 applications it was dis covered that no letters of administration had been taken out at all.—The rule granted. EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco.) CASTLEMAN V. CAPPED.. This was an action bro ug ht to recover 1,000/. on a policy of insurance effected upon the ship Alarm, with the Marine Insurance Company, of which the defendant was the underwriter. The case was tried before the Lord Chief Baron, at the recent sittings in London, when it was proved that th e p laintiff was the mortgagee of the brig Alarm, and with the view o f possess i ng himself of an additional security for the money he had advanced upon her, which amounted to 1,0001., h e in sured the vessel with the defendant's company. The brig at the time was engaged in the coasting trade of South America, and substquently to the comp.etion of the policy of insurance she received some very material injuries while performing a voyage between Monte Video and Paraguay, which ultimately led to her con demnation by two of her Majesty's naval officers, who happened to be cruising off the former port, and the plaintiff brought the present action to recover the whole amount of the policy he had effected upon her. For the defence it was contended that the injuries the vessel had received were not of such a nature as to justify her con• demnation, and the defendant therefore refused to pay more than half the insurance money, alleging that the vessel might have been amply and properly repaired for that amount. Eventually, however, the jury found a verdict for the plaintiff, awarding him the full amount he claimed. Mr. JERI'IS now moved for a rule nisi, to show cause why that verdict should not be set aside, and a new trial had on the ground that the ve,sel was not properly surveyed before condemnation. It was admitted, the Learned Counsel said, by the plaintiff's witness, that the copper of the ve.•.sel was not taken off, and consequently the injuries she had received beneath the copper was all matter of conjecture, and could not be ascerta►ned with any degree of certainty. He contended, therefore, that due and proper care had not been exercised in the exa• mination, and hoped the Court would grant him the rule for which he prayed. The LORD CHIEF BARON—Take a rule to show cause. CALLOR AND ANOTHER, V. LYON. This was an action of assumpsit brought to recover the sum of 501., the amount of a promissory note given by the defendant to the plaintiffs, who were the trustees of the Metropolitan Loan Society. The case was tried at the Middlesex sittings after term, when it was elicited that the defendant was the security of a man named Morris, who had borrowed from the Loan Society the sum involved in the action, and a verdict was returned for the plaintiffs for the full amount claimed. Mr. PEARSON now moved for a rule nisi to show cause why the verdict should not be set aside, and a new trial had on the ground that the note was obtained by fraud, inasmuch as the rules of the Society differed from the terms of the note, and the defendant, when he signed the note, was in a state of intoxication. The LORD CHIEF BARON said the constitution of loan sociuties was so well known, that the defe dant could hardly have been mistaken as to the nature of the note, and he must have signed it with his eyes open. The finding of the jury was therefore correct, and the rule must be refused.—Mule refusee, accordingly. AGRICULTURAL MEETING AT WILLIS'S ROOMS. Yesterday, at the above-mentioned rooms, some two or three hundred persons assembled, consisting of mem-- hers of the Central Agricultural Society. His Grace ' the Duke of Richmond, President of the Association, ' took the chair shortly after one o'clock. Several dele gates from all quarters of the country were present, and among the noblemen and gentlemen on the platform were--The Duke of Buckingham, Lord Sondes, Lord Beaumont, Viscount Ossulston, General Sir J. Cock burn, Mr. Miles, M.P., &c. The CHAIRMAN, in opening the business of the day, said, it was not necessary for him to detail to them at any length the opinions which he entertained on the subject of the corn-laws. He had often enjoyed op portunities of laying these opinions before his fellow countrymen, and it was not his practice to retract opinions which he had once deliberately and pub licly expressed. But, though it was not necessary for him to enter into any discussion of the general merits of the corn. laws, he nevertheless thought it abso lutely necessary for him to say a word or two for the purpose of explaining shortly the reasons which rendered it necessary to call the present meeting. Of course, they all knew as well as he did that no person in that room possessed the least means of knowing what were the intentions of the Queen's Government with reference to the corn-laws. No man out of the Cabinet could say what the measures were which the Ministers intended to submit to Parliament ; the general impres sive, however, was, that those measures would involve an infringement of the great principle of protection—that principle which it was the main object of their associa tion to promote and defend. He lamented to say that there was too good reason to apprehend the dangerous tendency which the policy of Ministers had recently assumed. He feared that the great principle of protection was now to be departed from, but why that principle was to be abandoned no man now present could answer. Some people thought, but that was a considerable time ago, that the panic respectingfamine might not have been without its influence in exciting the fears and warping the judgment of her Majesty's Ministers ; but recent events had proved that all the fears respecting famine were utterly without foundation; and yet, though nothing could be more baseless than such a ground for attacking the corn laws, the agricultural interest were to be sacri ficed—and sacrificed, he would ask, to what ?—to the money of the Anti-Corn-law League. The gentle men of the League told the Government and the Legis lature, " Give us just thus much, and we shall be satis fied. Let us only be permitted to succeed to this small and limited extent, and with that small amount of good fortune ice shall be, and for ever remain, perfectly satis fied." He would ask any Englishman with any preten sion to common sense, and with the least imaginable amount of political experience, whether there was a shadow of probability that the gentlemen of the League would stop suddenly short after having thus taken the first step in their progress? When was it ever known that success among politicians pr - oduced moderation?— (Loud cheers.) The gentlemen of the League began by assailing the corn-laws ; their next step, of course, would be to assail every species of protection, and to establish free trade in the most unlimited sense of the word, the ultimate end being to create a democratic ascendancy in every part of England. They knew per fectly well that the yeomanry and farmers of this country constituted the strongest bulwark of our ancient institutions. They knew that they must destroy the landed interest before they overturned the constitution. Was it necessary for him to inform the meeting then assembled of the means by which the gentlemen of the League intended to effect these objects? Was it necessary to repeat that which had been published by every newspaper throughout the kingdom, namely—the intention of the League to use the ample funds at their command for the purpose of corrupting the constituencies of England ? If the League had combined fur such a purpose as that, was it not fair for other men to associate in order to counteract designs which were not only unconstitutional, but self. evidently unjust?—(Hear, hear.) By one of the rules of the Agricultural Society, that association was dis abled from interfering, in any respect, with the business of the registration courts; looking, then, at the condition of the country and the conduct of the League, he took upon himself fearlessly to ask that meeting whether they were not prepared to rescind a regulation which disabled them from meeting their adversaries upon equal terms? —(Loud and continued cheering.) He would ask them if they . did not think the time had at length arrived when it became their duty to enter the registration courts with as bold a front as their enemies ? The gentlemen of the Anti-Corn-law League boasted openly that they were determined to carry the county elec tions of England by fabricated votes. This threat, he doubted not, they would endeavour to execute to the utmost extent of the neeans at their disposal ; but he himself had no reason to fear their influence in that part of the country with which he was more immediately connected. The men of West Sussex might defy the Anti-Corn-law League.—(Hear.) The farmers of West Sussex were not made of such slippery materials as to change their tone at the bidding of the Anti-Corn-law League.—(Loud cheers.) They were not made of the same slippery materials as those who, elsewhere, were prepared to act upon the suggestions of Mr. Cobden.— (Renewed cheers.) They had raised their standard for agricultural rights, and he felt convinced that nothing , would induce them to lower that flag, and his entire per suasion was, that to a man they would adopt for their ' motto, "No compromise and no surrender." He doubted not that every man felt as he did, that the protection that agriculture had hitherto enjoyed was a protection not alone operating for the benefit of the landed interests themselves, but for the evident advantage of native in dustry in all its branches. Having thus shortly stated to the meeting that the principal object for which they were assembled was to alter that portion of the rules which exclude d them from the registration courts, he should now call on Lerd Beaumont to move the first re solution.—(Hear.) Lord BEAUMONT said a crisis of the most alarming kind had arrived. Those who, in times past, had strenuously maintained the corn-laws seemed now dis posed to abandon for ever the agricultural interest. At ' such a crisis, therefore, as the present it behoved men to come forward and support the opinion which they con scientiously entertained. He fearlessly avowed himself a friend to protection. When he talked of protection, he never meant a system which would have a tendency to diminish the supply of food, or to increase its price. If it had such tendencies he did not hesitate to say that all idea of protection should be abandoned. It was be cause he believed the contrary that he raised his voice in support cf the existing corn-laws, and it was because he believed the contrary that he should still exert the small influence which he possessed to maintain those corn-laws, and it was fur that reason that he should call on every one then present to go and do likewise. To his mind nothing was more evident than that if free trade were established, there must be a general revision of all taxation ; that there must be also a general revi sion of all the local burdens that pressed upon land, and which burdens were considered to contain a compen sating principle for that which was called the evil of the corn laws. He did not believe in the utility, or even the existence of such a compensating principle ; but it was quite evident that an alteration of the corn• laws involved an extensive revolution, and in that change what was to become:of the poor? From various quarters of the country they were told that the masses demanded a removal of restriction, but he confessed he saw no foundation for those statements. He saw no ground for thinking that the people of England were so full of the idea of free trade as the gentlemen of the Anti-Corn-law League thought proper to represent them. The Noble Lord concluded by moving the first resolution, in the following terms:— " That protection against foreign competition is abso. lutely necessary to the productive classes of this country, and that the removal or diminution of the protection now afforded to the agricultural classes will be followed by the removal or diminution of every protective duty im posed for the benefit of the home or colonial producers." Mr. CierasTomnit, M.P., in seconding the foregoing resolution, said, that for as long a time as we had colonies, or very nearly so, it had been the practice of England to give protection to those colonies at the ex pense of the agricultural interest, and if the main pro tection which those connected with land at present enjoyed were to be removed at the dictation of the League, surely no one would contend that the high pro tection which the colonies enjoyed at the expense of the farmer should any longer be continued. In the county which he had the honour to represent, there were thou• sands of acres capable of growing tobacco ; now if they removed the protection which had hitherto been enjoyed by those who grew wheat, they ought to remove any impediment to the free cultivation of tobacco. Ile did not very precisely know what was intended, but he was sure every one would feel it to be rather a sus picious circumstance that a Ministry which had been placed in office by the agriculturists had just recently allowed themselves to resign the seals of office into the hands of a Noble Lord who was known to be adverse to agricultural protection. Now he thought that that fact, if it stood perfectly alone, would fully justify him in apprehending that further attacks upon the agricultural interest were intended. They enjoyed a certain amount of protection at this moment, and he should never consent to surrender one jot or tittle of that protection, be the consequences what it might. Mr. MILES, M.P., ventured to say that at the next general election it would be felt that they (the agricul turalists) were the majority of the nation. But he would recommend the various constituencies throughout the county to demand an instant appeal to the sense of the population, if they saw that their representatises wavered for a single moment. It was in vain that we thought of proceeding upon free-trade principles; every step that we tcok to advance those principles would be met in foreign countries by tariff after tariff, and our best laid plans would end in disappointment and disaster. He concluded by moving the second resolution, as follows:—" That this meeting, being convinced of the great benefits de rived by all classes fr.nn the protective systetn, and being satisfied that every branch of national industry will be most seriously injured by the abandonment of that system, pledges itself to use every constitutional means to support that principle of protection under which this country has risen to its present eminence." Mr. T. M. GLADSTONE, amidst much cheering, rose to second the foregoing resolution, lie began by saying wasa could not depart from frtiiel that, protec tion.lsovhile the f t ta l h i r a em t A: a in g d ( o h m at I n eg t a u l l i n itt e t u n r u f dr a t ,a l c i lt i t hnu labourer e s ; h l e ie observed manufacturer could carry his capital and his machinery wherever a prospect of profit presented itself. On these grounds, then, he contended that the condition of the agriculturist was entitled to the highest consideration. The resolution was then put and agreed to. Mr. BAKER contradicted the statements made in a League, in whi c h t h e s t ewar d ma i ntained that the protec ethsteates p u a p m en ph ia le o t ri i t ss p ue a d ei b e, ‘ s • protec tion which the agriculturists enjoyed (viz., ss. Bd.) was too trifling to disturb the tranquillity of the nation about. He then reverted to the following resolution, which he OQncluded by moving ; — , 6 That the foltowing words be THE SUN LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING,, JANUARY 18, 1846 expunged from the fourth rule of the Society, viz , And that the Soeiety shall on no account interfere in any election for a Member to serve in Parliament.' " The announcement of this resolution was received with loud cheers. The resolution having been seconded by Mr. R. SMITH, was then put and agreed to. Mr BALL, in a long and energetic address, directed the attention of the meeting to the comparison of thirty years of corn-law rule with the thirty years immediately preceding it. He contended that no person could rise from the investigation without a strong conviction that the fluctuations under the corn-laws were immeasurably less than those which prevailed in the absence of any corn-laws. 'After alluding to the alarming influence ex ercised by the press and League with the view of anni hilating those laws, he moved the following resolu tion : " That the society is most anxious to impress upon the local protection societies the necessity of supporting, in . the event of an el ec ti on , on l y t h ose can did ates w h o will steadily maintain the present amount of protection, without political bias or party feeling." Mr. EVERARD seconded the resolution, which was then put and agreed to. Mr. NEWbEGATE, said he was glad to see so many men of all parties supporting the Central Protec tion Society. The reproach was cast upon a nation of antiquity, that they never we n t to market but for the purpose of nheating one another. Now, the agricul turists of England, he trusted, would never act upon such a principle. He believed that th e peop l e of Eng land, in a mass, were incapable of being influenced by such habits of thought and feeling; and our ancient law givers, deeply impressed as they were with the fraudu lent tendencies of human nature, had laid the founda tions of a system of jurisprudence calculated to check those tendencies in an extraordinary degree. Upon these foundations a superstructure of property law was erected, which far surpassed in depth and com plexity the Criminal law of this country. It wasa, system so vast that none but the mightiest intel lect could master it. The operation, however, of that system upon the national character had not been without its beneficial effects, and in the name of the people of England he might repudiate the charge that they never consulted any interest but their own. Let the aristocracy look well to every step they took ; if they once conceded a repeal of the corn-laws, then the farmers would be thrown into the ranks of the free traders. Notwithstanding these disheartening circum stances, he ventured to persuade himself that the cause would ultimately triumph. A right and true cause was one from which they should derive hope, no matter what talent might be oppo.ed to them, and so long as they had leaders like the Noble Duke in the chair, they might confidntly go forth and encounter their oppo nents ; but to do this with effect, they must organise their forces," and invite the coolest heads to their counsels. He should now move the following resolu tion :—" That the General Committee of this Society be instructed to appoint a Sub-Committee, to take into consideration' those measures which the excision of the latter pert of , the 4th rule may render necessary." Mr. HINDITCH rose to second the motion. He said that their opponents would find that their union was strong and indissoluble. Let them remember what they had lost ; and let them beware how they incurred fur ther loss. They had been bound by the new ropes of the cattle tariff—the green withes of the Canada Corn Bill had fettered their limbs—but let them beware how they laid their heads in the lap of the modern Delilah of the House of Commons, for, so surely as they yielded to so soft a dalliance, the Philistines of free trade would be up and upon them.—(Laughter.) The resolution was then put and agreed to. Mr. WODEHOUSE, M.P , rose to move the thanks of the meeting to his Grace the Duke of Richmond for his readiness in taking the chair, and for the ability with which he had conducted the business of the meeting. Mr. ST tFFORD O'Bnxxrc seconded the vote of thanks to the Noble Duke. In acknowledging the vote, which was carried with cheer upon cheer, The Duke of Ricgmosm said it was to him always a gratification to serve them ; but it was not in his power to do as much as younger men, who had not had a musket ball through their lungs.—(Cheers.) He was requested by the Duke of Buckingham to say that he was obliged* to leave that meeting at an early hour through important business calling him to the country, but that he cordially acquiesced in every one of the resolutions, and was determined to stand to the last by the flag of " protection"—(Cheers) ; the Duke of Buckingham had desired this to be mentioned, but was there a farmer in England who would not have felt cer tain that the Duke of Buckingham would not abandon his position ?—(Loud cheers.) Mr. Ball had asked what the aristocracy would do in the present crisis ? he (the Duke of Richmond) could not answer for the aris tocracy, but be hoped and trusted they would never fail to remember the lines of one of our poets : " Constant still in danger's hour, Princes own'd our fathers' aid ; Wealth and power Well their loyalty repaid. " Perish wealth, and power, and pride, Mortal boons by mortals given; But let constancy abide, For constancy's the gift of Heaven." He believed it was necessary that this country should have an aristocracy—(Cheers)—and he felt that it was their duty to come forward and support men whom they knew to be in the right, fearless of all consequences. If the aristocracy do not do so, he should not be surprised if the middle classes despised them, and, in that case, these had too' much English blood flowing through their veins to follow the aristocracy.—(Cheers.) He consi dered protection to agriculture absolutely necessary. He agreed with all that had been stated there that day. He believed that the home manufacturer for the home market was ideeply interested in protection. If the farmer's interest was destroyed, what would become of that class of our manufacturing population—the most respectable manufacturers, those engaged for the home market? Why they would tall in the same ruin with themselves (the agriculturists). This was no class or party question, but a question whether England chose to be degraded into the lowest scale of nations, and to be laughed at by foreigners, who were much wiser than ourselves, because they took care to protect their native industry by ;their laws.—(Cheers.) He must entreat them not to slumber when they returned to their counties. True, the battle was to be fought in the house of Commons and he hoped—but it was impossible in these days to know to whom they could trust—(Cheers) —that they were sure of victory ; but let them be pre pared what to do in case of defeat. Let an appeal, however, be ,made to the people of England, and he would answer for it the corn-laws would never be destroyed.—(Great cheering.) The meeting then broke up, after giving cheers for Lord Beaumont and Mr. Gladstone. OCCASIONAL SKETCHES—HERE AND THERE. No. VII. SOME PUBLIC (HOUSE) PORTRAITS "HERE.' One damp, dull, drizzling, dreary day (there's allitera tion for those who are fond of it), in the early part of last November. I landed near Liverpool, after an absence of two years from this country. It was a thoroughly English day, and from the " wet-blanket" looking sky large rain drops came down with a dull heavy plash upon the sloppy ground. The wind and tide had pre vented the vessel from getting nearer than ten miles, or thereabouts, to Liverpool, and so, rather than lie in the river, almost within sight of port, for a dczen hours, myself and the captain landed in a boat at Formby Point, and after having tramped wearily over the long barren sands, on reaching the little inn found, to our mortification, that the omnibus had left for Liverpool just three minutes before. After having been so long from home, old accustomed things looked rather strange. Whilst we were waiting for a cab to be got ready, I sat down in the small parlour of the small in n . Th ere was no m i sta ki ng the English ness of everything pertaining to it and about it. A por traq of the Queen, so unlike, that I knew directly who it was meant for, hung on the wall, which was covered with flaring red paper of a zigzag pattern, which it made one giddy to look at. A very gaudy ship, on a very brilliant blue sea, with an inflammatory mountain in an alarming state of eruption in the background, decorated the chiinneppiece ; and portraits of " jolly sailors," in wild ecstasies, jumping out of boats, and "capering ashore," with purses filled at both ends in their hands, and bundles slung upon sticks, which they jauntily threw over their left shoulders ; and of despairing and departing mariners, with the forefingers of their right hands pointing to ships in full sail in the distance, their left arms encircling the waists of weeping wives or sen sitive sweethearts, were displayed on all sides of the apartment. Then there were stuffed birds and dried snake skins ; and pieces of dingy coral, and branches of sea-weed, like the bottoms of old sieves, disposed weep ing-willow fashion over the frames of these pictures, to gether with walking-sticks, some of glass, and others, curiously contrived out of the back bones of voracious fishes ; and all these " curiosities " had cheerful and comfortable associates in the shapes of rosy-faced, pot bellied gentlemen in the prime of life, who were repre sented as in the act of blowing the froth from off the edges of gigantic pots of porter ; or of smoking with in finite relish " Dutch-cut, ' from pipes a yard long at the least. An omnibus cad was the sole occupant of the parlour wll , ll we entered that tobacco and Burton-flavoured h,catity. This gentleman was busily engaged in teasing a wiry snappish little terrier, by sportively flinging at him a crumpled copy of Bell's Life, and the making the cur unwillingly bring it back. Occasionally he re laxed in his attentions to the dog, and diverted himself by plunging his nose very deeply into the recesses of a pot of half-and-half, the traces of whose travels were to be seen on the cross-legged table, in the shape of half-dried, sticky rings of partially evaporated infusion of malt and hops. The frequent visits of his lips and nose to the pewter tankard were alternated by tremendous attacks on a plateful of what the landlady termed " sandwidges," and which appeared to be an ingenious compound of dirt, bread, butter, mus tard, and meat. Such a " cad" could have been met with nowhere else than in England. As for his person and dress, just imagine a lump of expressionless flesh, wrapped carelessly in a suit of dingy fustian, with a sealskin cap at one end, and a pair of " high-lows" at the other, and you have a description as near as I can give it. - But the landlady !—decorated with the smartest of smart caps, with showy ribbons fluttering like streamers as she moved briskly about—her trim figure attired in a remarkably gay mousseline-de-laine dress—and her clear, sharp voice, ringing like a bell through the house, and never stopping its clapper for a mi nute she was a sight, after having stared at nothing but the stewardess and salt water for the last twenty days. How she curtseyed as we entered the hostelry ; and how, when she learned that Captain C had just arrived, did she narrate wonderful sto ries, quite as strange, or stranger than fictions, of ship wrecks s‘ Ilia had occurred on the sands right before her own doors. Then she was on intimate and familiar terms with all the captains who came to Liverpool—she bras ; for they came down to " Waterloo" in the sum mer-time with their wives, and " used" her house. Such nice gentlemen, they was, too. Very ♦oluble was she respecting the cheerful and snug dinners she had cooked for little parties, and could cook again, if needs be. " Fur her own part," she said, " she liked captins —they was such gentlemanly men —'specially 'Merican captins ; and the mates (she looked interrogatively at me) they were so genteel." On she went, never stopping; so to give my ears a little rest, I ordered a bottle of lemonade, and by the time I Lad disposed of it the cab drove to the door. "Ah ! gentlemen," said the landlady, slyly, " you should have been here an hour ago, and gone up with some ladics' maids as left this morning. Wouldn't they have liked y our company ? The women (a sigh) is so fond of sailors, somehow. My poor man was a sailor-- but—" " He's better off, ma'am, I hope," said I, as the car riage drove off—the brisk widow, at the instant of our departure, having thrust a hugh ngravt d card into my hands, with a hope that we should call again. We soon entered Liverpool. There it was, just as I had left it two years before—dark and dirty (they say it always rains in Liverpool). As we drove along, lofty stone warehouses, many stories high, frowned on us from grated windows and double-barred iron doors. Ponderous carriages, with broad wheels, drawn by gigantic horses, and driven by mighty dray men, threatened every instant to crush our frail vehicle. From the main street through which we were driving, long narrow thoroughfares diverged on the right and let hands, at every corner of which was a flaunting gin palace, and gazing down the dim avenues was to be seen a long perspective of pawnbrokers' bads. Passing the docks, the captain quitted me for the pur pose of going to his agents, and I drove to the Waterloo Hotel. I experienced a strange, undefinable sensation, at once more being in England, for I had never before been away from it longer than a month. It was not, I fear, a particularly patriotic feeling, nor a comfortable hugging of the idea that England was the only place in the world to be happy in. A residence in another country had for me, at least, exploded the popular fallacy that comfort had any particular local habitation, and was to be found nowhere else. I suspect that the blandness which came over me arose from a gradual sliding into the naturalness of old familiar things. As I stood before the bright blazing fire in the coffee-room, before which heaps of plates were warming up, looked on the sleek, snug waiters, heard the short, sharp, ready " Yes, Sir," gazed on the brilliant barmaid, and beheld " Beets," and more than all, when The Sun of that very morning was placed in my hand, it appeared to me as if I had just awoke from a night's sleep, and that the beautiful country I had so recently quitted—the lakes, the falls, the rivers, the forests, the sparkling houses, and the pretty women, had never in reality existed, but had only been seen by me in some pleasant dream. Let me touch off the waiter who is just now amazingly busy in moving things out of their places for the sake of replacing them. He is a young man belonging to the " nice" genus, of some three or four and twenty years of ago ; and if you did not see a snow-white napkin under his arm, you would take him for the probationary pastor of a genteel country-town Dissenting congregation. He has a very serious cast of countenance, and his hair is brushed and combed into the most approved pious pro priety. Round his neck is a faultlessly-tied white cravat, and so tight is it, that when he has to turn his head, the latter rotates not on the second curvical vertebra, but his whole body semi-revolves on the heels of his highly polished pumps, between which and the edge of his pantaloons silken hose are displayed. His half-open vest displays a shirt-front of amazing fineness, and a small black brooch, most probably the souvenir of some lady's maid. His movements are rapid and noiseless, and his voice low and gentle. Sometimes, in his over anxiety to serve you, he gently slides to your table, and asks, " Did you call, Sir ?" but if you do call, he seldo m hears your summons. He has little respect for commonet waiters at common inns, and regards those at mere a i ng - hous es he as entertainsbeyond the respect—perhapsv erg e of c estesteem. For w t i h th e barmaid the chambermaid he has a distant, very distant, acquaint ance ; but for boots, he owns to sentiments of the pro foundest contempt, As for the porter, he is a yahoo. Such is the coffee- room waiter. And now, as a com panion sketch, let me try the barmaid. Ah ! I ought to depict her lineaments with a lady's golden pen, on embossed and perfumed paper. Reader just step with me into her slneturn sanctorum—th e " Bar." It is a large apartment, glazed on all sides, garnished with decanters, tumblers, wine-glasses, sugar -tongs, tea spoons by the dozen in rummers, squeezers , nutmee graters, spices, and lemonthsid.el,e,blnanromtwha,e centre of the roo — m . t is hi a m t b a l b e le L o d n s w ei h ss ic e h rs li a es re needlework ; her three times, and boots is nowh i e df r o e sr .' No io s o 6 k h a a t s her how daintily she is dressed in a neat morning- gown and cap of open net work, which has killed off many a commercial." Did you ever see a prettier figure ? As her tiny feet go pit-pat-tap-tap over the flooreloth, looking, as some old poet quaintly says, like mice peep ing in and out, one almost forgets to gaze on her face, which is so sweet in expression, that the young man with ferretty eyes, who stands with his back to the fire, says, with great originality, if she looks into a jug of punch very little sugar is required. And, she has such a neat way of handling everything ; and when she sits down to write in the bar-book, or to make out a bill, she holds the pen so gracefully, that you cannot help being curious as to her caligraphy, which, delicate and angular, amazingly resembles those specimens we see in cases at the doors of private lodgings, which consist of a miser able scrawl, contrasted with zigzag characters, purporting to be " a specimen of my hand-writing after taking six lessons of Mr. ----." She is, of course, a favourite ; and so, many a gentleman brings her, every morning, bouquets, which you may see all about the room. Unlike the genteel waiter, the barmaid is very courteous, though somewhat distant, to all the under-servants, who address her as " Miss ;" yet she exacts respect ; and no one— no, not even the flashy gentleman who goes so far as to call her by her Christian name—would dare to take a liberty with her. She is unkissable. The very master of the house, who has a snug chair for himself in the bar, looks at her with deference. And there she is all day long, smiling and simpering, from early in the morning until late at night, working and coquetting, tripping hither and thither, always doing something, and never for a minute idle, with the pleasant look and the civil word for everybody—and that is the barmaid. The chambermaid is come to " show the gentlem au into 49." As we follow her up stairs, of both corners of our eyes at her, and sketewmz. we wat h lw h k er out en some future occasion. The Marquis of Anglesea is, we hear, indisposed at Beaudesert THE RECENT RAILWAY ACCI DENT IN THE ISLE O' THANET. On Saturday last an inquest was held before T. T. Lesaux, li .sq Coroner for the eastern division of the county of Kent, at the Five Bells public house, in the village of Minster, Isle of Thanet, on the body of James Hollands, a young man who met with his death on the works of the tarnsaate, Canterbury, and London Railway:. The Coroner and jury proceeded together to view the. place where the accident occurred. It is near the ut— most point to which the works have proceeded, and where the ballast waggons are turned over and the con tents thrown out to make the base upon which the rails are to be laid. John Monckton, labourer, was the first witness called. Ile deposed that on Thursday last he was on a ballast waggon with deceased, near the tip end of the line. By the " tip end," witness meant the point where the waggons were tipped over and the con tents thrown out. This was on the extension line of the South-Eastern Railway, between the villages of Sarre and Minster. There were eight waggons, all laden with ballast and propelled by a steam engine. They were under the management of a person named James Armstrong. On arriving at the tip end the two first waggons turned over the end of the line. Witness jumped off, but deceased was thrown to the ground. The contents of one of the waggons fell over him, and buried him. Witness, with others, endeavoured to extricate deceased as soon as possible, but he was quite dead. Two other men were also partially buried with him. It was the duty of Armstrong to let off the steam at the crossing, and of another person to put on the break on the tender and waggons. There was no alarm given that he (witness) heard. Thomas Leach, of Minster, labourer, deposed that he was working on the line about seven o'clock in the morning of the day in question. There was a steam engine attached to the line of ballast waggons, and he saw them between Minster and Sheriff's Court The engine one, under the management of a driver named Armstrong. Another man, by the name of Matthew Gomershall, had charge of the break in the tender. Witness did not know whether any person on the wag gons had charge of the breaks. There ought to have been some one. The morning was very foggy and dark, so that witness could not see any person on the seventh or eighth waggon. By the CORONER—Did you, when you saw the engine approaching the crossing at Sheriff's-court, do all you could to make the driver sensible of the fact ? Witness —I did, by calling to him, and I am sure he heard me, for he did all he could to stop the carriages, and so did the breaksrnan. There was a decline of about one in one hundred. The morning was frosty, and the wheels passed more rapidly than usual over the rails. By a juror—Deceased was completely buried beneath the ballast. Witness did not know where they were until they reached the crossing. George Low, of Minster, stated that he was at work at Fuller's-marsh, and from thence he saw the engine Proceeding at the usual speed. The steam was turned off by the driver about 200 yards from the " tip." One hundred yards from the tip the decline commences. It is a declivity of one in one hundred. Witness gave an alarm to the men in the waggon, advising them to get off, which several of them did. The caution would not have been necessary if it had been an incline instead of a decline. Armstrong, the driver, said that the morning was so foggy that he could not see ; and until he was upon the crossing be was not aware of being so near the " tip." He then shut off the steam, and Gomershall applied the break to the wheel of the tender. This being the whole of the evidence, The CORONER summed up. From the foggyness of the atmosphere, and the facts that the rails were wet with frost and thus rendered slippery, and the decline commencing there, the accident had undoubtedly occurred from purely accidental causes. Verdict accordingly. Deodand on the engine 1/. RE BOOTHREY. Mr. PASHLEY applied to the Court for a writ of habeas corpus, under the following circumstances :—ln Sep tember last, Boothrey, the Learned Counsel's client, was committed to the Wakefield House of Correction, under what was called the Worsted Acts, for having in his possession a certain quantity of silk, of which he could give no satisfactory account. The conviction was made on the information of the constable of the parish,and Boothrey was committed to prison for the non-payment of the penalty which the possession of the silk rendered him liable to. This conviction the Learned Counsel contended was illegal, because the law under which it was made was defective, in so far as the statute did not specify to whom the penalty should be paid, but said generally that it should be paid as the law directed. Now, Boothrey being ignorant of the law, knew not to whom he ought to pay the penalty, nor could any of the local authorities determine who was the party entitled to it, and hence there being no responsible person to receive the penalty, it was morally impossible for him to comply with the terms of the conviction, and therefore his detention in prison was a wrongful and illegal act. '1 he conviction, moreover, deviated from the form prescribed by the statute, for it did not set forth the value of the goods, the owner of the goods, or the allegation that they were suspected to be stolen goods, and it was upon those grounds that he moved the Court to issue a writ of habeas corpus for the release of the prisoner. The Loup CIIIEF BARON ruled that a trifling devia tion like that in the present case from the prescribed form of conviction was immaterial, provided the sub stance or spirit of the form was retained; and as it was clear that the prisoner could give no satisfactory account of the goods in his possession, which he was bound to do by the statute, his committal in default of his paying the penalty was valid and justifiable. With respect to its being in doubt as to who was the party entitled to the penalty, he thought this point was disposed of by the ge neral and common law of the land, with which it was pre sumed everybody was well acquainted, and which provided that the penalty should be divided equally between the informer and the poor of the parish where the conviction took place. He was therefore of opinion that the motion must be refused. The remainder of the Court concurring in this judg ment, the motion was refused accordingly. COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY) POTTS AND OTHERS V. HIGHTON AND JONES. Sir T. WILDE moved for a rule to show cause why a new trial should not take place in this cause, on the ground that the verdict had been against evidence. The cause was tried at last sittings at Guildhall, and a verdict given for the defendant; the action being to recover from Highton, OR the allegation that he was a partner of Jones, a sum of money due to a bankrupt concern on the ac count of the latter. In the defence it was maintained that no partnership existed, for that though Highton had assisted Jones in certain business transactions, it was not in the character of a partner. The Learned Gentle man at some length went on to show that Highton was a partner, and on that ground considered that a new trial should be ruled for the plaintiff.—Rule to show cause granted. CARTER V. BUCHANAN. Mr. Sergeant MURPHY moved for a rule to show cause for the setting aside of a verdict and a new trial granted in this cause, on the ground of misdirection of the judge, on which a verdict was given for the plaintiff. The cause was triad before Mr. Justice Cresswell, at Guildhall, during last sittings, and a verdict given to Mr. Carter for 2141. The plaintiff is a watchmaker, residing in Cornhill ; and the defendant, Mr. Buchanan, is a mer chant, who has been in the habit of dealing with the for mer for watches to send out to his correspondent in India. In January last Mr. Buchanan went into the shop of the plaintiff, and the contract was made, out of which the present action had arisen. One order was for three dozen of watches at 40s. each watch ; and four dozen others at 365. each. It was a Fart of the contract that the watches should be guaranteed to go, a point which, in the sequel, would be seen to be most important to this case. In March an intimation was sent to Mr. Bu chanan that the watches were ready, but Mr. Buchanan was not in a position to receive them. In May Mr. Buchanan again called, and saw the watches and looked over some rings, which he bargained for. He ordered two of the watches and a case of the rings to be sent. They were not forwarded till Mr. Buchanan sent a message for them, when one of each sort of watch and the rings were dispatched to the offices of Mr. Bu chanan. Nov, the point was, were these watches and rings to be considered as part delivery of the order, or rather only as specimens, to see whether the order had been properly executed, judging by the specimens, He ;Mr. blur -,hy) admitted that an important letter had been read at the trial, sent by the defendant to the plain tiff, stating, that as he had learned there was a great glut of' cheap watches in the Indian market, he wished to know what he v , ould take to allow the bargain to 1„e off. On this letter the jury was instructed to give a verdict for the plaintiff. Now, this letter was dated on the 16th of May, whereas, looking over the evidence, he found there were no rings named in the invoice till after that date ; and as the two watches and rings were de livered at the same time, it was proof that the letter was written before, arid could not be taken as any re cognition of the contract. Under the circumstances, reviewing the whole case, he thought their Lordships ought to grant a new trial. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE said that there could be no misdirection on the part of the Judge, as there was nothing left out in the Judge's charge to the jury. Be-- cause a Judge did not dwell so strongly on a particular point as a learned gentleman might think fit, it was no reason why it should he called a misdirection. Mr. Sergeant MURPHY—Then the verdict must be taken as against evidence, and on this ground he would apply. Moreover, admitting the cuntract, the watches were not what had been agreed upon. They did not perform, and were riot at all conformable to the order given. The watches, though kept, were not kept as a recognition of the order, for immediately after he com plained of their quality, and he merely kept the !ample in order to ascertain really what the watches were. Now, the watches the defendant had previously had gone well. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE said it was necessary in a contract to prove the delivery of goods, and the accept ance. Now, in the present case, there could be no doubt of a contract being made. After that, the defendant went to the plaintiff's shop, looked over several tiers of watches, and selected two of them, as part of those about which the contract had been made. He desired these two to be sent home, and had retained them till this day, so that here was an acceptance and a sufficient case for the jury, leaving the question of the letter out of view. But when the letter was considered, in con nection with these other facts, he must say that the jury had come to a proper verdict. The other Judges agreed with his Lordship, and the rule was consequently refused. MARLBRO'-STREET.—(T HIS DAY.) Wm. Harris, a ycun,, ,, man who is said to be respect ably connected, was charged with committing an out rage on a respectable married female, and her sister, as they were passing through Cecil . court, St. Martin's ane, between eleven and twelve o'clock last night, on their way home. The defendant was at the time intoxi cated, but not so much so but that he knew what he was about. Mr. MALTBY having very carefully investigated the charge, told the defendant that he should commit him for one month. The defendant seemed astounded on hearing his sen tence, and earnestly entreated that the worthy magis trate would impose a fine in place of the imprisonment. Mr. MALTBY refused to alter his decision, and the defendant was locked up in one of the cells to await the prison van to convey him to Westminster Bridewell. NARROW ESCAPE.—On Wednesday evening last, as Mr. Milne, of Market-street, Cambridge, was crossing the river on Mr. Searle's new ferry-bridge, he fell into the river up to his neck. It seems the ferry does not reach the bank on the Chesterton side, but that a small bank is made in the water at the side of it for persons to step upon. Not being aware of this, and too dark for him to see, he stepped forward into the water.—Cambridge Chronicle. The Mercers' Company sent yesterday :a donation of 101. to the poor-box of Marylebone Police-court. A CHELSEA PENSIONER'S FUNERAL.—On Sunday, the remains of the Chelsea pensioner Bridge, No. 1 company of the Woolwich division, were interred at Charlton church yard with military honours. The party consisted of the staff; non-commissioned officers, and twenty-four privates, in uni form, but without a firing party, as the corps was not out upon duty at the time of the pensioner's death. A portion of !he expense of the funeral is defrayed by Government, and the body was carried to the grave on the shoulders of the comraths of the deceased. Mr. Shell, we regret to learn, has had the misfor. tune to lose his only son. The young gentleman was in his twenty-fourth veal*, and died a short time ago at Funchal, in Madeira, whither he had gong for the benefit of his health. J. H. Campbell, Esq., M.P., for Salisbury, has kindly given to the Mayor of that city 1001. to be distributed to the poor of the town. This gentleman, by the death of his mother, now takes the name and arms of "Wyndham," with the estates of his late uncle, Wadham Wyndham, Esq., who for many yams represented that city. COURT CIRCULAR. The Queen and Prince Albert promenaded in Clare mont Park yesterday morning. Prince Albert after wards went out shooting, attended by Colonel Bowles and the Equerry in Waiting. Sir Robert. Peel left Claremont yesterday morning for town. The Bishop of Oxford took his departure from Clare mont yesterday. Their Loyal Highnesses the Prince of Wales, Prince Alfred, the Princess Royal, and the Princess Alice, were taken their accustomed pony and walking exercise in Claremont Park yesterday. A Cabinet Council was held at half-past two o'clock resterday afternoon, at the Foreign-office. The Ministers present were — Sir Robert Peel, the Duke of Wellington, the Lord Chancellor, the Duke of 3uccleuch, the Earl of Haddington, the Earl of Aber deen, Sir James Graham, the Right Hon. W. E. Glad stone, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Earl of Ellenborouo, the Earl of Ripon, Lord Granville Somer set, the Earl? of Lincoln, the Earl of Dalhousie, the Right Hon. S. Herbert, and the Earl of St. Germans. The Council sat three hours. Sir Robert Peel arrived at his residence in Whitehall gardens yesterday morning, from Claremont. Sir James Graham visited the Right lion. Baronet. Mr. Wickham, Chairman of the Stamps and Taxes, had an interview with the Chancellor of the Exchequer yesterday, at ,his official residence in Downing-street. FIRE.—PRAISEWORTH CONDUCT: On Sunday evening, shortly after dark, an alarm of lire occurred in Drury-lane, near Drury-court, and smoke was seen coming from a shop occupied as a picture-frame-maker's, directly over a carpenter's shop, in which there was a vast quantity of shavings and wood, belonging to Mr. Macey, an extensive builder. The whole neighbourhood was in an uproar, some running for the engines, and others for the tradesmen who have stabling underneath, and in a short time horses, carts, vans, harness, and everything was being removed. By this time the parish engine arrived, but was some time before it could be got tOt work. Upon the first alarm Molloy, the well-known nhimney.sweep, of Drury-court, was immedi ately on the spot, and tried all he could with pails of water, assisted by the'neighbours, who handed them one from the other, to extinguish the fire. Molloy, at the risk o f his life, crawled into the workshop on his hands and knees, and laid hold of a longjpiece of wood and kept knocking off the part to prevent it extending. At this moment a window which overlooks the roof of another house was broken in, and the smoke came out in clou s; when it left the workshop a little clear, Molloy could be plainly seen in the smoke cutting the fire from a corner of the room. At this critical moment he run back for the branch of the parish engine, which was now got to play, when part of the flooring gave way and took the fire into the carpenter's shop underneath. Molloy then held the branch and conducted the water through the opening and put it out; he then left quite exhauster!. This is not the first time he has rendered his neighbours a service of this kind. The new First Lord of the Admiralty will, it is un derstood, commence his duties in a day or two. Recol lecting, as w well do, the general feeling of the army in India in favour of the Earl of Ellenborough, whilst he filled the high station of Governor-General, and which feeling we had occasion £0 frequently to notice, the navy, we confidently furetel, have every reason to hope that the same libaial and just measures which gained for his Lordship such universal commendation from their mili tary brethren, will be, in like manner, evinced towards the profession over which he has now been selected to preside.—Naval and Military Gazttte. SIR W . 11. CLINTON.—This Gallant General has for the last-three weeks been seriously indisposed, but we have much pleasure in now stating that strong hopes are entertained of his recovery, he having been already pronounced out of danger. Ile remains at his residence in Audley-square. OUTRAGE ON THE GREAT WESTERN BAILWAY. On Friday evening, a most fiendish act was committed by some ruffian on the Great Western Railway. Shortly after the express train left Swindon, a huge stone was thrown at one of the first-class carriages. It dashed into pieces the window, and struck with fearful violence against the back of one of the centre seats. Fortunately, no one was sitting there. A reward for the apprehension of the perpetrator of this foul deed is offered. ' - k BRAZILS. LIVERPOOL, MONDAT AFTERNOON.—The following letter from Rio Janeiro, of November 20, gives im portant views of the position of matters in relation to the Brazils 1— " Rio Janeiro, Nov. 20. " Our political horizon is very much darkened since my last communication. I understand this Government will not continue further negotiations until satisfaction is obtained respecting that most unfortunate Bill lately passed, and which I tear will make mischief. The Bra zilians complain, and with reason, that their coasting trade has suffered serious inconvenience by the policy and unjustifiable acts of some of our cruisers on this coast. The Brazilians also complain that if a couple of shackles were found in a coasting vessel, with all clear ances in order, she was in consequence detained ; and as they navigate their coasting vessels partly with slaves these were necessary to have on board ; even as on board our vessels of war men are sometimes confined in irons. " Again at the Cape, vessels taken there have been condemned for having those loose wooden boxes on board in which the captain and mate sleep, because one captain gave evidence in one case that these boxes were not in use in the coasting smacks. Now we all know well that many, if not all, coasting smacks use this kind of boxes. " There is no doubt but that if our Government would limit their Slave Bill to intercepting vessels with slaves, and not interfere with the legitimate goods trade between this and the coast, and which is as legal as the goods trade fom Liverpool to the coast, the Brazilians would make some sort of a treaty with us, and if we do not curtail the working of the Slave Bill recently passed to intercepting slaves, we shall undoubtedly have a rumpus before long with this country, and it now behoves us all to use extreme caution in shipments. " Yesterday and to day a large business has been done in exchange at 261, different length of credits according to the quality of the paper, from one to three weeks." THE SOUTH LONDON NEWS.—A new paper, of Radical politics, which has just started under the editorship of Mr. J. Lee Stevens, recommends the electors of Lambeth to start Mr. John Bright as a candidate at the next election, unless Mr. D'Eyncourt will pledge himself to support the im mediate repeal of the corn-laws. BRITISH AND FOREIGN INSTITUTE.—The first soirée of the present session was held last night, at the rooms in George-street, and it was attended by a large company of ladies and gentlemen—members of the Institute. The even ing passed off in the usual agreeable manner, the urbanity and address of Mr. Buckingham contributing in no small degree to this good issue. An excellent concert was provided, in which Miss Birch, the Misses Williams, Mr. Machin, and Mr. T. Cooke, aided by Mr. Muh lenfeldt and Mr. Chatterton, were prominent features, whose efforts to gratify were attended ; it need hardly be added, with signal success. In the course of the proceed ings Mr. Buckingham delivered a short address suitable to the occasion, in which he congratulated the company upon the prospects of the Institute, and commented with felicit ous delicacy upon the attacks which had been made upon their honour and integrity, and upon the means which had been resorted to in justification, concluding his remarks by taking his customary brief review of new publications. The tables were covered with interesting books and pictures, the conversation was friendly and animated, and the reunion altogether was highly pleasurable. These drawing-room meetings are peculiar to the British and Foreign Institute, and the success which invariably attends them shows that one of the objects aimed at—that of social family inter course, conducted with elegance, and enlivened by amuse ments of a refined and intellectual character—has at least been attained.

As for the body itself it seems tanned ; the flesh has become in a great measure absorbed, with all the softer animal tissues; but the muscular development remains firm, and the veins and tendons of the extremities are curiously shown stretched over the bones. The teeth are still white and sound; and the hair (rather woolly) still curls on the head. The colour of the body is a dark brown; and the whole exhibition, par ticu!arly for those who like anatomical and physiological cu riosities, is well worth visiting. It is impossible to say with certainty how long the body had lain previous to its disco very; but the probability is that a century has elapsed since the mate, or one of the inferior officers of a merchant ship running down the African coast, died, and since a party of sailors landed for an hour to bury the body of their shipmate on a lone and nameless island, tenanted only by sea-birds, on the desert coast of Africa. On Saturday evening a number of gentlemen con nected officially with the Royal Polytechnic Institution dined together, for the purpose of presenting an elegant silver vase and signet ring, of great value, to Dr. John Ryan. The vase was designed and manufactured by Stor and Mortimer, the celebrated goldsmiths of Bond street, and displays their usual taste and judgment. The presentation was intended as a mark of esteem for the private character of that gentleman, who, during . his official connexion with the donors, has on all occasions displayed an affability and kindness of heart that has won for him the respect of every person around him. THE LAST CONVERSION FROM OXFORD.—Mr Mills, whose desertion from the Protestant faith has been already mentioned in our columns, was on Sunday morning publicly received into the Roman Cath o li c Church, at St. Chad's Cathedral, Birmingham.'
