Besides all the principal merchants and manu facturers who thronged the platform, every available corner of the building was literally crammed. Mr. GEORGE WIL4ON, the Chairman, in the course of his address, mentioned the following additions to the Quarter of a Million. Fund, viz. Leeds, 34;000!.: at Dundee, 2,0001. ; and at Stroud, Gloucestershire, 1,300 L, making the subscriptions already made amount to 128,8011. Mr. COBDEN then proposed as a resolution, "That mer chants, manufacturers, and other members of the National Anti-Corn-law League claim no protection whatever for the manufactured products of this country, and desire to see ebli:erated fir ever the few nominally pr .tective dir les against foreign manufactures which still remain upon our statute-book." He acknowledged the receipt of a Tequisition fur free-trade meetings about to be convened in Belfast and Drogheda—the latter superscribed by the Catholic Primate, Dr. Crolly, and all his clergy. He then'animadverled uron the non-co-operation. of the Church of England, as a body, in this great agitation for the abolition of important duties; and concluded by predicting Sir Robert Peel's withdrawal from the protectionist party, and the ultimate victory of the present movement. Mr. BRIGHT, who seconded the proposition, attributed the recent discomfiture of the Ministry to the pertinacity of the League, and the miserable advocacy of Peel's Administration by the Morning Herald and the Standard. He declared that the League would continue in existence as long as there WWI one sixpence of duty on the importation of foreign corn. After some very long and argumentative. speeches from Mr. Fox, Colonel Thompson, and Mr. Brott.erton, the usual vote of thanks to all who had spoken was moved and car; tied ; whereupon the meeting separated. MEETING AT SHEFFIELD. MR. WARD AND HIS CONSTITUENTS. Oa Thursday Mr. Ward met his Sheffield constituents in the Town hall, for the purpose of explaining to them his past conduct, and intimating his views as to the future. Mr. Alderman Duvet was unanimously voted into the chair, and introduced Mr. WARD, who received a most warm welcome. He spoke nearly as follows :—This was, he remarked, the seventh time that, since he had been favoured with their confidence, he had come before them in the intervals between sessions of Parliament to explain and to answer, to vindicate the past, to talk over the future, and to strengthen or to correct his own political impressions by comparing them with those of the constituency.—(Hear, hear.) The custom was a virtual repeal of the Septennial Act, so fares Sheffield was concerned. He looked upon the great questions new occupying the public mind quite as much in the light of a struggle against monopoly in votes as against monopoly in food.—(Hear.) Why, if we had had a Reform Bill in 1815, we never would have had the corn-laws.—(Hear.) And did any man believe that we should have a corn-law now for any length of time, were it not for the power entrusted by the vicious nature of the present constitution to the smaller venal agricultural rural constituencies, which put themselves up to auctions-- sold themselves to the highest bidder—and were Only secured from disfranchisement by the universality or their cor ruption,—hut which counterbalanced the votes of such towns as Sheffield and Leeds, and such counties as the West Riding .—(Cheers.) Now, the first step towards making their „ representative what he ought to be, was to act as they had acted—to make the representation of their town a question of principle, not of money. When he was here last, he h a d told them that the conduct of the Conservative party in power was such as almost made him look on inconsistency as the most valuable of public virtues.—(Hear, and laughter.) He did not mean that inconsistency which was always ask ing.for loopholes to creep out of; but that bold inconsistency which scrupled not to claim credit for doing that which it drove another set of men from office for attempting to do.— , (Cheers.) His principles on direct taxation he had already stated. He believed that no Minister in future Would beagle to dispense with it. They would not be able as before, to raise a revenue upon articles which formed the food . of the people ; and he was, therefore, qpite will ine; to countenance direct taxation, provided he saw every year fair terms offered to the country.--(Hear, bear.) Afier taking a survey of the measures which had been passed during tho last session, and his sentiments and be haviour with regard to each, Mr. Ward continueth—He was here compelled to touch on a topic upon which the course he had pursued had boon, he was aware, disapproved of by some of his friends in Sheffield for whose opinions he enter tained the highest respect. He alluded to the 2daynooth Grant.—(Hear, hear.) He had no hesitation in saying that if the thing were to do again, he should act precisely as he did last session. —(Cheers.) His principles on Irish matters were perfectly well known. He thought that we had three centuries of injustice to atone fur to that country, and he would not stand upon trifles to effect that object.—(Hear,- hear.) All that injustice had been put upon the ground of necessity to maintain exclusive Protestantism in Ireland, and last .session the same argument had been put forward when the attempt to maintain this exclusive Protestantism had degenerated into a "No Popery" cry that was disgraceful to the country. For his own part he never would give way to blind bigotry or unreasoning prejudices. There were two classes of opponents to the Maynooth Grant. There were the.. Dissenters, who . maintained their own ministers, endowed their own schools, build their own chapels, and who,' taking those burdens upon themselves, thought they ought not to be called upon to pay for a second State Church in addi tion to that - which they were already obliged to sup port. With that class he sympathised. But there was ano ther class which took its stand upon this ground—that they, a sin 11 section of the Christian world, enjoyed the exclusive monopoly of Christian truth. With the first class, as he had said, he sympathised, and had endeavoured to point out a fund in the Irish Church by which the object might hevw been attained in regard to Maynooth without pressing at all upon the Dissenters. By the simple suppression of those parishes where there were no Protestants, a fund of 58,0001. would have been placed at the disposal of the Government, when . only 26,000/. were required for. Maynooth. So irresistable was this case, so unanswerable the argument, that if the Dis seutere, as a body, had taken it up and supported it, he did not believe any party or Government could have resisted it. - But instead of this, they took up the groutul of religious truth, as being in their exclusivelsossessi The Church party in England were not against the injustice of taxing the Dissenters ' fiir the maintenance of a Church to which they did not b e f,ing.,- but - against the application of Protestant money to w hat they called anti-Christian , purposes, the promotiop of idolater, and a defiance of heaven itself. The abhorrence of the Catholic faith was made the bond of union in Exeter-hall among those otherwise of most opposite opinions.—(Hear, heir ) Now, it was all very well to talk about excluriive Protestantism in the British empire, but the Queen of Eng land herself was one of the greatest Catholic potentates in the eeorld.—(Hear, hear.) She ruled over eleven millions of subjects in England, Ireland, Canada, In ha, and the Meeliterranean. Those Catholics were men, and must be governed, and they should be governed upon just and intelli gible principles. Every other evstem of government but this • bad been tried. They had tried persecution, and. they had tried proscription, bnt none of these courses would succeed. In fact; there was no iniquity that had not been perpetrated tc.- - wards that unhappy country, Ireland. Just one hundred years ago that day, in the age of Addison and Swift, whfch was called the'Augnstan age of England, an Act of Parliament was passed, which for its monstrous enormity was almost without parallel. It would be scarcely believed that by tat Act, which was called the nameless statute, Catholic priests were' rendered liable to an operation which, to put it ' as delicately as I . can, I will describe as one which .qualified them to be. the guardians of the Grand Seignior's seraglio.—( Hear.) That Act, which was wily' repeated by the interveution of Cardinal Fleury, was one of the remedies for - Irish Catholicism that had been re sorted to. IVould Englishmen sanction a return to.such a state cf things, even if they had the power? Certainly they Would not. The only policy, therefore, which was left to adopt' towards them was to treat them with justice 'and mercy, and according to the great principles of Christianity. • A generous treatment on oar, side would inspire a generoes ' feeling in return. His motion last session was to endow, but to endow from a proper source—not from the pockets of English Dissenters—not to tax a man opposed to Catholicism far the support of Catholicism, but to make as ample a pro ' vision 3.47(foverntnent might choose to recommend from funds at the disposal of the. State,. and which must ultimately bs applied to the support of. the church of the great majority of the country,— (Great cheering.) That motion created no ordinary difficulty and alarm. For a little time, and a little time only, he was a marl-of great political importance-L.the* fate of Government seemed to hang upon this Question. Ile had no reason to distrust the importance of its effects .11e.had seen the appropriation principle break up two.Cabinets t and. it might have broken up a third. Well, under those circuinstaeces, he had thought it better to give up the opportunity . presented to him than to' damage a principle in which he concurred. And lie :did not regret the course which lie had pursued; for when he looked to the sort of opposition given to the measure, he could not compliment his Dissenting friends on the company with whoM they took their stand.—(Hear, hear, and a laugh. ) Refer ring then to the manner in which this question had been treated by Lord Winchelsea, the Duke of Newcastle, and others, he continued :—Now he had gone over a good deal of ground as to what was past, he wished to say a few word's now as to the future.—(Hear, hear.) There was a great deal at the close of last session to foreshadow what had since hap pened. There was a debate upon Mr. Villiers's motion, in which he had had the pleasure of hearing from Sir Robert reel—as ha understood him—the clearest postible notice to quit given to the agricultural protectionists.—(Cheers.) Sir: Robert Peer then said that the question was one of time only. The advocates of free trade had in their ranks great intellect, great names, great activity, but they wanted some of those high aristocratic names of practical statement who must f o rm a part in the Government of this country. Thee , wanted' Lord John Russell:—(Cheers.) Th ey w anted Lord liforpetli—(Loud cheers)—and the men of the West Riding were now sending him—(Applause)—while-from Ltird John Russell they had at last received a frank declaration of his adoption of free trade principles.- The landowners would do - better with free trade, because the manufacturers 'would do better ; for what the landowners wanted was wealthy and well-employed customers. To say that ,we could not compete with foreigners in any part of Europe was a libel upon English honesty and Eng lish ability, and pi vided the settlement of the, corn- . law was comprehensive and final, he had no doubt all the alarm now felt would evaporate and pass away. He recommended, however, the free traders not to fancy their victory Asia certain. They might have a majority in the House of Commons; but it was rumoured that the Lords had determined never to pass a measure of the kind without an other appeal to the country. If that appeal was made, every map, must be prepared to do his duty, and take his part in the great struggle. Let them but be united and firm, and they would b e successful . for there never was an instance in history in which an aristocracy, t. contending for its own selfish and sordid einolumen successful, when opposed to, the g.eit body of, an intelligent w t and a united people.—(The Hon. Gentleman resumed his seat a n i i i i i cls i t prolonged cheering.) Mr. Fisirmi, after passingeulogiurn upon Mr. Ward, reeved a resolution to the MOW effect :—" That the. thanks of this meeting be given to ourl respected repre sentative, G. Ward, E s q., f or his annrnuuaPvisit to his ee l s- , s tituents, arid the candid and explicit exposition he has given of his Parliamentary conduct du r i ng the last session ; and that. he b e eei p ec tfully requeste d to support to the ut moat of his power any measure that may be proposed for the total, immediate, and unconditional repeal of the corn -laws." been seconded b y M r. JACKSON, This resolution having 'was carried unanimously: and after the customary Wah l ", lied been transacted the meetin' separated. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. Porra.ltount, Jail. 16 —The experiment of 'firing from the Excellent, Captain (Zeds, at a steam-ship's 'funnel, to ascertain what resistance (if any) it would offer to a shot or shell, took place yesterday afternoon, in the presence of a distinguished assemblage of scientific officers, naval, military, and civil. The funnel, which is a common one, of the average.rnanu facture for Government steamers, of about three-fourths of an inch thick, was moored at about 600 yards distance from the Excellent, in the direction of Porcliester Castle, placed upon a butt of timber 14 feet wide, and of about the same substance, secured as in the usual manner on board vessels, by chains, the butt being rendered immoveable by heavy moorings. About 2 o'clock the firing commenced, and a number of shots were directed against the funnel. Five or six struck the object, a 64 and the rest 32-pounders, all going through the funnel without knocking it down or shivering it to atoms, as was expected. The practice concluded about half-pist 3, without having done any very materiat damage to the funnel. This afternoon, about 2 o'clock, the firing was resumed, but at targets, and not at the funnel, as was anticipated. This morning, a little before 12, another experiment was tried upon a boom. Two masts were towed up to the spot where the former experiments took place, and lashed to gether with chain lashing and hemp cable; but instead 'of having the breaker of gunpowder hauled and fixed under the spars, it was floated down to the boom upon the top of the tide, in order to save the risk (we presume) of fixing it by a boat's crew; sufficient time being calculated upon for the breaker reaching the spares after the lighting of the portfire. The result, however, was not satisfactory, the explosion having taken place without doing any material damage to the boom. This afternoon another experiment was made upon the same boom, after the plan adopted on Tuesday and Wednes day. About half-past 3 o'clock a boat's crew from the Ex cellent fixed the breaker of gunpowder, containing 1121 b.; f ignite,nutes t e a d t t r h e e m f e u n s d e ° o u r s po e r rp fi i r o r u o n w d e e d rn a ea w t a h y. th the p a a b r o s, u a t n e d ig h h a t vi m n Mon took place, the spars being snapped asunder in the cen tre, and huge masses of the timber hurled into the air 50 feet, which, together with the immense body of water dis placed by the submarine blast, had a very grand and highly interesting effect. Thus the experiments of displacing a boom have been pre-eminently successful, the whole process of destruction not occupying a space of time exceeding ten minutes. Further experiments upon the funnel will take place in a day or two ; these, we believe, will be with the shells, the shot having injured the funnel only as far as regards perfo rating it. The Royal yacht Victoria and Albert was brought down alongside the jetty to-day, to have the centre shaft taken out of her, in order to its being differently refitted.

The boats, without gear or shifting thwar.tss• weigh four tons each; and the two with their gear and davits weigh twelve tons! The Drake slighter, with stores for Plymouth, sailed on Friday evening. FOREIGN PROVISION'S. • 'The iniportations" of cattle, and provisions generally from . the continental states continue to be of an extensive and important character. The regularity in the arrivals of such articles at this time of the year, must, in a great degree, be attributed to the rnildtiess of the weather, fur, so far as have any accounts been received to the contrary, it does not ap pear that any of the Dutch, Ger Man, or Belgian ports, or, in deed, any of the more northern ports, are closed for navigable and Commercial purposes, in Consequence of the stoppage of ' the navigation of the river on which they respectively are bound, from being frozen over, and therefore rendered im passable. It will -be recollected that at this peried of last year the frost. was so, intense that all, communication be tween this_ country and the places mentioned, and from one to the other of them, Wes completely suspended, and that the Elbe and Scheldt continued in that state for several weeks. to the very great_inconvenience-of the mercantile and shipping community. • : In consequence of the mildne,es of the weather at the pre sent time, a sitbilir stoppage to business has been prevented,' and the arrivals from Rotterdam, Ilaniburgh, &c., have beetl es regidar as cculd be expected, and indeed much more so than might reasonably be looked f or a t this advanced season, - as will appear froth the numerous importations ' of which we + will eriutherate some of the most important whi c h have taken ;place duringlhe past week, and since our last notice appeared fon the subleet.

In closing the list of the enumerations of importations of articles of food up to the present time, we may state that the assertion which we advanced at the commencement of this article, of the extent of the arrivals which have taken place, has been fully borne out. The arrivals have evidently been of a very extensive nature, and we are indebted to our con tinental neighbours for a continued and unceasing supply of articles of general consumption. It is not necessary to eater further into particulars with respect to the several importations, as a glance at them will show their extent, and the importance of the several coun tries in the matter, according to the amount and nature of the supplies. We may, however, mention that since Chyist mas pouttry has been remarkably cheap in the metropolis, and in consequence of the extensive arrivals from France, Belgium, &c., turkeys of excellent quality and large size have been obtainable in the markets at a very moderate price.. - We may be thankful that the weather has been and con tinues so mild, for, in addition to the vast importance of such a state of things to the poor, no mean consideration in the general estimation of matters, and the consequent total absence of any stoppage of out-door manual emp!oyment, we should not, had it been otherwise, and which was much dreided at this time of assumed scarcity of provisions gene rally, have been supplied with so extensive a variety and quantity of every kind of food from abroad as has been the CAM AGRICULTURAL MEETING AT BRIDGEWATER. - - A large concourse of protectionists assembled on Friday, at the Clarence Hotel, Bridgewater, for the purpose of discussing the merits of the present taxation upon corn, and an excellent dinner into the bargain. Mr. Miles, M.P., presided on the occasion ; and after the usual loyal and popular toasts had been given, a long array of orators addressed the meeting in succession. The Rev. Mr. Tnßlxcs maintained that on the abolition of the duties in question "it was impossible the taxes could be paid, and what then would become of public credit ?" Mr. SEALEY, the Mayor, felt satisfied that the assembly which he addressed " must have an influence throughout the country." TheCryan:max declared that the League were raising an opposition power, which would ultimately defeat both them selves and Mr. Cobden ; and, after some similar observations from Lord Waldegrave, Mr. Moody, and Mr. Popham, the dinner terminated to the sathfaction of all present.

UNWIN, 'ESQ., OF BREMMINGTON HALL.—The exceedingly romantic but retired village of Bremmington, about two miles north of Chester field, has, since Saturday last, been the scene of great excite ment, in consequence of a most fatal accident which occurred to James Wheeler Unwin, Esq., of Bremmington: Hall, a gentleman of independent fortune, the son of the Rev. Mr. Unwin, of St. Aukmands, Derby. The deceased was pas sionately fond of hunti ng , and was remarkable for riding high-spirited horses, and thought no price sufficiently remu nerative for what he termed a magnificent hunter. On Saturday after n o on M r . U nw i n, w h o had b een to Chester field market, was returning home, and was riding ,a high spirited black horse, and which, in censequence of horse having been ill, had not been ridden for two months.' When Mr. Unwin had proceeded about .a mile from Chesterfield, the horse took fright, and Mr. Unwin, who was riding at the time in a very careless manner, with an exceedingly loose rein, was thrown to the gro un d w i t h suc h v i o l ence that his skull was fractured, and he was taken up in a state of insen sibility, and conveyed to his residence in a cart, where he ex pired on Wednesday morning last. An inquest was held on the body on Thursday, when the jury returned a verdict of— Accith ntal Death. SUICIDE INDUCED BY A FALSE ACCUSATION. — On Friday, Mr. Payne, City coroner, held an inquest at St. Bartholomew's Hospital, on the body of Mary Day, aged 26, late a servant to Mr. Goodge, surgeon, of 105, - Cheapside. Leopold Coben said that the deceased had been in the same employ as witness for a period of three weeks. On Saturday last she told witness that she was going to leave her situatio. in consequence of a female named Hannah Snowswell having told her mistress that she (the deceased) had been the worse for liquor on two occasions. The allegation was stoutly de nied by the deceased. Mrs. G o od ge gave th e d ecease d warn ing to leave her service, and said sin: should not like to have her in the house any longer, as she did not considerit safe. Witness never saw the deceased the worse for drink, and never suspected her of being so, but he thought her mind affected. Elizabeth Marsh, of 40, Turnmill- street, said that the deceased complained of being unwell on Wednesday last She then went out, saying at the time that she was going to purchase an ounce of Epsom salts. She returned shortly afterwards, and after mixing something in a cup, swallowed the mixture. She then took up a novel and started off, say ing that . she was going to her mother's. Witness never saw her afterwards. Police-sergeant Haines found deceased in company with another female on Wednesday night last; she then said she had taken poison, and was dying. Witness took her to the above hospital with all expedition. Mr. P. J. Hurlock, senior medical officer of the hospital, said that de ceased, when admitted, was quite dead. He had: since 'examined - the Stomach, which was extensively inflamed, no doubt caused by oxalic acid. Verdict," Temporary insanity." -THE ROYAL STAGHOUNDS.—A field of upwards of two hundred, including his Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge, the Earl - of Rossyln, Mr. George Wombwell, Captain Seymour, and a sprinkling of military officers, were at the meet on Friday morning at Stoke-common. The turn-out was delayed until between twelve and one o'clock on account of the heavy - fog which prevailed during the earlier part of the day.. Upon the deer (Tom Thumb) being uncarted in Farnham-lane, it took away to Two-mile Brook, on to Burnham, crossing the Great Western Railway, to the Mile House, on the Bath-road, down to Mr. Pocock's farm, crossing the Thames at Bray. The hounds were taken over Maidenhead-bridge into Berks, and laid on between Maiden head and Braywick ; Tom Thumb making away through Mr. Briggenshaw's farm to White Waltham, and thence to Laurence Waltham, where the deer was run into and secured, after a good run, from first to last, of an hour anti forty minutes. Prince George of Cambridge and a goodly number were up at the finish. The meet on Monday will be at Winkfield-row, and on Friday at Maidenhead. Wed nesday will be a by-day. The fixture has not yet been de termined upon. HOUSE ROBBERY BY A SERYANT.—WeCIEESIIy morning, on the return of Mr. Hardland to his residence, in Seymour-street, Somers -town, from Brighton, he was unable to gain admittance into his house, and; after waiting a con eideiable time, he at length effected an entrance ry climbing over the garden wall of the adjoining house, and with a lad der got in at the first floor window, when he discovered that the female servant, Mary Halls, whom he had left in charge, had absconded, after completely stripping the place of every portable article, including plate, wearing apparel, jewellery, &c., and a valuable Turkey carpet that was in the drawing room. She had not been seen by any of the neighbours for three days past. SALE OF A CHURCH.—On Thursday, at one o'clock, the ancient internal fittings of the Church of St. Benet Fink, in Threadneedle-street which was erected from a design by Sir Christopher Wren, were disposed of by auction, by Mr. Pullon, the auctioneer, for the purpose of being remo ve d, i t being intended to t a k e down the structure, in order to widen the approaches to the New Royal Exchange. During the previous day the sacred building was visited by hundreds of persons, and yesterday the sale was most numerously at tended, there ,being present several gentlemen connected with public institutions, among whom prevailed a most ac tive competition for various lots, many of which realised a price much beyond their actual value, from the circumstance that they were works of art of the above celebrated and eminent architect. Lot 12, the carved oak poor-box, with lock, &c. (date on the lock 1683), fetched 4 guineas, and was bought by one of the City companies. No. 17, the carved and panelled oak pulpit, with sounding-board, &c., the whole richly ornamented with fine carving, went for 15 guineas, intended for a church in Buckinghamshire. Lots 18, 19, 20, 21, arid 22—a valuable painting of " Moses bear ing the tables," with gold mouldings • a ditto of" Aaro n th e Priest ;" the carved an d p anne ll e d oak fittings of the altar, ornamented with gold mouldings and carved Corinthian columns; two tablets, with inscriptions in gold; the marble door of the altar, &c.—were purchased by one of the Royal Hospitals for 50/. The greater part of the pannelled oak inclosure of the pews was bought by a clergyman for a church at Ramsgate. There were about 4,000 feet of oak pewing, the whole of the carved oak front of the gallery. the bell (20 inches over), &c., cold, and which were knocked down at good prices ; the entire of which is to be removed in a few days. The sepulchral tablets have been removed &cm the church to that of St. Peter le Poer, which is in union with St. Benet Fink. The remains of those deposited in the vaults under the church will be interred in the huriai-ground adjoining, which will not be interfered with ill the intended improvement. 1110,P.NING, J.A.NUARY 19,. 1846. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, Jan. 16. CHRIST'S HOSPITAL V. GRAINGER AND OTIIERS. The arguments in this part-heard — aileal;;;;esumed and concluded to-day. The LORD CHANCELLOR, at the conclusion of the argu ments, said he would give judgment on Wednesday next. ROLLS' COURT, Jan. 17. His Lordship sat at ten o'clock, and proceeded with the hearing of the remaining petitions. SICIPWORTII V. SKIPWORTII. This was a petition praying that an order which bad been obtained in this cause, on the ground of informality and initif ficiency of evidence, might be discharged. The case occu pied the greater portion of the day, and was quite devoid of public interest, COUR7' OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Jan. 17. • (Sittings in Banco at Westminster Hall.) ROBERT C.C.IIII3ELL, V. TiIIi'QUEEN IN ERROR. In this case it appeared that the traverser was tried and convicted at the Chester Assizes of petty larceny, and steal. ing above five pounds, and was sentenced to ten years' trans portationi, motion in arrest o f j u d gment h av i ng b ean made, thfcase was now argued in error, and Counsel con tended that if any portion of the ten years' sentence applied to the petty larceny, the sentence could not be carried into effect ; and there was nothing in the record to show that the sentence applied to the felony only. The jury had made no distinction between the two offences, and, tkerefore, it was to be presumed that both offences were included in the convic tion ; and if so, the sentence of transportation could not apply to the larceny. The case is one which is likely to occupy the attention of the Court fur the greater part of the day. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Jan. 17. (Sittings in Banco.) FARRINGTON v. FARRINGTON. This was an action of assumpsit for money due on an ac count stated. The plaintiff and defendant were brothers, and co-sureties t• a promissory note, dated the 10th of April, 1844, which was given to. a Mrs. Stow, as a s.ecur;ty for 4001. which she had advanced to the father of the plaintiff and de fendant. The father died in the September following, and Mrs. How compelled the plaintiff, who was the sole executor of his father, to pay the whole of the 4001. as the _ surety, and the present action was brought to induce to defendant to refund to the plaintiff a clear half of that amount, the father having died insolvent. On the trial the jury could. come to no decision, and a verdict was taken for the plaintiff, with ;leave to move the Court above to confirm it. Mr. Hill accordingly obtained a rule ❑isi to confirm it, and Mr. Humfrey now appeared to show cause against it. The Learned Counsel urged that the money was advanced for the use of the plaintiff; and that in fact the father never received a penny of the 4001. This was proved by Mrs. Stow herself, and he contended that instead of the plaintiff having a verdict he ought to be non suit ed. . HILL, on the other side, submitted that the verdict ought not to be disturbed, because the spirit of the evidence went to show that the father received the money, and after wards presented it to his eldest son, who was the plaintiff. This gift did not alter the nature of the legal contract be tween the parties, and hence the case involved no matter of equity but a dry point of law. Now, according to the cases bearing upon the question,. tho defendant was bound to pay his moiety of the 4001., and he trusted their Lordships would confirm the verdict. (The case had not closed when our report left.) COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Jan. 17. SIMMONS V. MILLINGEN. Mr. Sergeant Byles appeared this morning against a rule to sLew cause why a verdict for damages obtained by the plaintiff against the defendant should not be set aside. The defendant, Mr. Millingen, is a gentleman residing in White Lion-street, within the limits of the metropolitan police, and the plaintiff, Mrs. Simmons, is a parasol maker. The de fendant it was alleged, owed the plaintiff a sum of money, who went one Sunday morning, at church tine, and asked for it, declaring that she would not leave till she was paid. She rang the bell violently at the time, besides knocking a t the door loudly. The defendant said he was about to put on his boots to go out, and that if she did not leave by the time he had put them on, he would give her in charge. She did not leave, and a policemon was called and she was taken into custody, and kept at the station for three hours, when she was liberated on bail. On Monday she appeared be fore the magistrate, and was discharged. She then brotight an action against Mr Millingen for false imprisoment which was tried last term, and she received 40s. damages. Mr. Chadwick, on the part of defendant, afterwards moved for a rule to set aside the verdict, on the plea of excessive damages, and that the defendant was doing nothing more than he was justified in doing, according to the provisions of the Metropolitan Police Act. The Learned Sergeant in behalf of the plaintiff, and against the rule, went at considerable length into the provisions of the Police Act, to show that its conditions had not been complied with, as sections 54 and 63 provided that no constable could take any person into custody without a warrant, for any of the offences enumerated in these sections, the violently ringing of a bell, or loud knocking at door, so as to cause annoy ance, being among them, unless the offence was committed within view of the constable. This had not been the cast in the present instance. According to section 66, it is further provided that the owner of a house or his servant may give a person into custody for such offence, if the party be found committing the offenee. Now, there had been no evidence advanced of this having been te case. On these grounds he maintained the rule should be discharged. Mr. CHADWICK replied at some length, endeavouring to show that the sections referred to had been substantially com plied with, as the person had comtnitted the trespass within the hearing of the master of the house, who, on immediately opening the door, found the plaintiff there. That, coupled with the manner of the plaintiff, could lead to no doubt that she had been found committing the offence for which she was taken into custody. Their LORDSHIPS decided that on reviewing the whole arguments with the evidence adduced on the trial, they did tot think the pleas of the defendant had been sustained, and that the rule should be discharged. Rule discharged accordingly. BAIL COURT, Jan. 17. (Sittings in Banco, before Mr. Justice WILLIAMS.) TILE QUEEN V. THE REV. JOSIAH BARTLETT. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL moved for a rule to show cause why a criminal information should not be filed against the Rev. Josiah Bartlett, the officiating minister of Ivington, 'in Leominster, the chaplain of Leomin ster Union, &c., fur a scandalous libel he had cans: d to be published against a lady—his sister-in-law. The details of the case were of a private and somewhat disagreeable nature, and they would never have been made public, but for the fact that a paragraph had appeared in a newspaper, which rendered this application necessary. The Learned Gentleman then read a very voluminous correspondence which had taken place between the parties, and in which the alleged libel or libels were contained.— Rule granted. CONS ISTO RY COURT, Jan. 17. LADY WALSCoTT V. LORD WALSCOTT. This is a suit brought by Lady Walscott against her husband, for a divorce, on the alleged ground of adultery and cruelties. The parties were married in 1822, and cohabited until June, 1845, several children being the issue of the marriage. During the cohabitation in Eng land, in Ireland, and on the Continent, a variety of acts of cruelty, of adultery, of solicitations of virtue, &c., are pleaded. In short, from_ the commencement of the coha bitation down to the separation, acts of the nature stated were of constant occurrence as pleaded, and further more, as asserted, that the husband had contracted a certain disease, so long back as 1825. It was also pleaded that the Noble Lcrd aeted.with cruelty to t';e children, in order the more to annoy the wife. The question now t ,, e admissibility of the libel offered on the part of Lady Walscott. On the part of the Noble Lord a general c'enial was 4iven, and condonation pleaded of those errors that may have been committed. The LEARNED JUDGE (Dr. Lushington), after hear ing counsel on both sides, held the libel to be admissible after reformation. The Court was bound to protect a wife in all cases like this, but it could not go the length of admitting evidence of acts of cruelty to the children to prove cruelty to the wife. Nor could the Court hold that the Noble Lord having compelled his daughters to perform menial duties in the house as material, although it might ke corroborative proof. The libel must be re formed, and then admitted to proof. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. TIIE ALLEGED ROBBERY OF LENDERS OF ALLOTMENT.— Robert Thompson, charged with having stolen a letter of allotment of forty shares in the British and Irish Union Rail way Company, and a banker's receipt for 1201., paid as a deposit on the shares, which were at the time in the market at 3/. premium, was brought before the Lord Mayor for further examination. It was obvious that Capel-court, and the neighbouring places of resort for casual speculators, had poured its masses into the Mansion-house to witness the exhibition. on edro stoleum e i n t t . teh a oxa d a(wi e m a hh e nce r iani ti worth anosr of fha shares 26 ‘ o ‘ "outside," ot himi d e, e a t who the thes t t i a m t e ed th t e ha p t ris Mr. Humphreys appeared fo r M r .

The priso'ner's solicitor objected to the production of the receipt without the production of all the witnesses to it. The production of the receipt was calculated to prove the validity of the defence rather than strengthen the case for the pro secution. Mr. Hitchin, examined by Mr. Humphreys, said that the letter of allotment and receipt produced were those which lie had given to the prisoner when the prisoner called upon him with a pretended authority from Mr. Gibbons, also a share dealer, to apply for the documents. Witness had applied to Messrs. Dean and Dunlop. the London agents of the railway establishment, to send to Scotland for them, and immediate attention was paid to the request. The prisoner's solicitor (having examined the papers pro duced) said the letter was no letter of allotment at all. Mr. Humphreys—We don't tare anything about any letter of allotment. The banker's receipt, which there cannot be the least doubt was a valuable paper, is everything. The prisoner's solicitor—That is not your client's property at all. The shares were allotted to the Rev. Mr. Fletcher. I have to request that the Lord Mayor will postpone the case for a week, in consequence of some heavy engagements which press upon my time and prevent me from giving at present the attention to this case which it requires. The Lottn MAYOR consented to postpone the final exami nation till Friday next, but intimated that he should then com mit the prisoner fur trial at the Central Criminal Court. Vicrisusmo TAVERNS.— William Thompson, alias Burgess, was charged with having feasted expensively in several taverns and eating-houses at the cost of the waiters. The prisoner is a very notorious fellow about town for bilking public-houses of all kinds. It was stated by several policemen, that he had been thirty or forty times before the Magistrates, upon charges of running scores, and that mul titudes of complainants had declined to take the trouble to appear against him on account of the ridicule to which they supposed they would have been subjected. The prisoner having been put to the bar, desired, in an authoritative voice, that all the witnesses against him should go out of Court, so that one should not be able to guide him self by the evidence of another. The first charge was that the prisoner had dined heartily upon turkeys, tarts, and stout, and was sneaking out when the waiter, suspecting that he had stolen a silver spoon or fork, seized him and searched him. No property of any kind was found upon him. Another case presented him sitting down at the Baltic Coffee-house, at six o'clock, to mock-turtle, rump-steak, arid a jorum of stout, and brandy and water. He had entered independently enough, but as his appetite became appeased he exhibited a certain kind of uneasiness which did not escape the keen eye of the waiter, who collared him as he was sliding towards the door, but was obliged to submit to the plunder, as the police refused to take the charge. In a third case the prisoner made the landlord of a tavern in the Old Jewry a victim, having de posited a large quantity of rump-steaks, stout, bread and cheese, and brandy and water, without paying a farthing for the accommodation. The LORD MAYOR expressed his astonishment that land lords and waiters did not keep good strong whips in " their houses, and whip such fellows as the prisoner, until they made them dance to their own roaring. —(Laughter.) The prisoner—l insist upon it that I have been illegally detained, and that the waiter who made the first charge had no right to accuse me of stealing. Every one knows that, after all, the thing is nothing but a mere small amount of debt, and I am willing to pay. The LORD Kivoit—When ? - The prisoner —Oh, as soon as possible, of course.—( Laughter.) I must say, however, that I deny the Old Jewry debt altogether. I acknowledge the two other debts, and I shall pay due attention to them; but your Lordship knows as well as myself that these in dividuals have all along been acting illegally. Nobody is justified in detaining me here or elsewhere. There seems to be no respect for the laws in this place at all.—( Laughter.) The LOAD MAYOR—I shall see whether we can't find some law to meet you. If we cannot, then we must endeavour to procure one for you. In the mean time I shall remand you for a week. The prisoner --I protest against any remand. It is against the spirit and the letter of the law. The Loin MAYOR—Take him away. I hope the tavern keepers will get a likeness of this fellow to hang up in their houses, and 1 hope, too, they will keep each a good whip in the bar to lay across his shoulders, to enable him to digest his dinner, or to prepare him for one if he should be previously detected.

On Tuesday last, while the night charges were being dis posed of, a person of respectable appearance got into the witness-box, and, addressing Mr. Henry, said, that on the preceding night a gentleman had been charged at the Tower street station-house with being intoxicated, and being ad mitted to bail was so ill on that morning as to be quite unable to attend before his Wofship, and as it was not his intention to appear, he (the app!icant) had come prepared to pay the amount of the recognizances which had been en tered into. Mr. HENRY replied, that as the party had declined coming forward, he certainly should estreat his recognizances. He (?Ir. Henry) then asked %hat was the amount of the recog =at ce entered into for the appearance of the party, and was told by the police-sergeant who had taken the charge, that the amount was 40s. Mr. HENRY, as well as those present, seemed somewhat startled at - the lowness of the bail ; but, on inquiry, it ap peared that this is the amount fixed by the Commissioners of Police for bail on charges of mere drunkenness, and ordered that the recognizances be estreated, upon which the applicant at once paid the 2/. The case was thus disposed of without exciting any obser vation beyond a slight surprise that 40s. should have been paid as the penalty for an offence lir which the-utmost fine, if the yarty appeared, that could be inflicted was ss. . . It has since been rumoured that the party charged, in stead of being Mr. George Spencer Frevill, as he described himself at the station-house, was no less a personage than George Spencer Churchill, Duke of Marlborough. It appears that about eleven o'clock on Monday night the attention of police-constable 112, A was called to a gen tleman who was lying on the floor outside one of the boxes in Astley's Theatre, and who appeared to be labour ing under the effects of excessive intoxication. The con stable, with assistance, conveyed his drunken charge to the station-house in Tower-street, Lambeth ; and on reaching tha: place he appeared so far gone, that the sergeant on duty felt it necessary to send for Mr. Wagstaff, the divisional surgeon, who promptly attended, and by his assistance the patient became sufficiently recovered to be conscious of his situation, and gave a fictitious name and address. He, however, sent for the Marquis of Blandford, but the Noble Marquis was from home at the time. The intelligence of the awkward situation of his master had, however, it is said, reached the ears, of Morris, the Duke of Marlborough's valet, and that person instantly hastened to the station-house, gave bail for the prisoner's appearance the next day, and was the person who attended and paid the money. Mr. HENRY, as has been before stated, was] ignorant of the rank of the party charged when he disposed of the case, but had'he been made acquainted with it, he had no power whatever of compelling the attendance of the Noble Duke, and in estreating his recognizances he imposed the highest penalty the law permitted. BRITISH and FOREIGN INSTITUTE A subject of considerable interest was discussed on Friday by the members of the institute—that of the comparative methods of the overland routes to India; and the meeting was rendered the more remarkable end interesting by the presence of Lieutenant Waghorn, who, with the greatest readiness, answered a vast number of questions relative to the two modes of communication at present occupying the public mind. Although it was termed a " discussion," the proceedings seldom extended beyond desultory conversation, for the greater part of the auditors were solicitous only to hear Lieutenant Waghorn's experiences, and to accept what ever opinions he laid down without dissent. It may be easily inferred that he advocated the Trieste lir e with the greatest zeal;; and the inquiries which were made bore chiefly upon the features of this new and hardly- tried route, rather than upon any other. Mr. Buckingham opened the business by alluding to the importance of the subject; to the interest he took in it as far back as 1815; and to the efforts he at that time made to direct the attention of the Indian Government towards it. Lieut..Waghorn then gave a narrative of the circumstances which led him, at the instance of Lord Ellenborough, to ar range a plan, and • to ultimately adopt the Marseilles route, pointing out in the course of his statement the intervals of time consumed in travelling from point to point, and con trasting them with the long and wearisome pilgrimages of former times. Certain alleged acts of the French Govern ment as to the 'detention and opening of letters, induced him to propose a second scheme—by way of Trieste, so that the kingdom of France should altogether be avoided; and he stated that this new route was nearer by 320 miles, and that it posseses already more than 300 miles of completed railway—an advantage at present wanting in the journey by Marseilles. Prince Metternich, he said, was a friend to the Trieste route, and had undertaken to adjust all the diffi culties that might arise among the smaller states interested in the transit. Of the liberal and enlightened feeling of the Pacha of Egypt he spoke in emphatic terms, intimating that he had always countenanced the passage through his terri tories, even when, by Lord Palmerston's operations, "we were murdering his subjects." _ With other remarks con nected with the benefits likely to flow from increased com munication with the East, Lieutenant Waghorn intimated that he was prepared to reply to any questions which might be put •to him by the company, having previously given some statistical facts as to the divisions of the route, and ex pressed his conviction that before long railways would extend across the entire breadth of Germany, and that we should 1)on perform the distance between London and Trieste in 55 hours. The inquiries which were then made were of various kinds. The subject of the detention of letters by the French Go vernment occupied some time; and Lieutenant Waghorn spoke of dispatches from Australia belonging to him which had lain 21 days at Paris, and might not then have been de livered if peremptory measures had not been taken. The subsequent questions related to the railroad between Ulm and Trieste; fo the convenience and inconveniences of the journey over the Desert; to the possibility of a route through Persia; to the recent Post-office delay, when seven days elapsed between the arrival of the Herald's extraordinary express and the public delivery of letters; to the facilities the Desert afforded for a line of railways; to the comfort and 'economy of the'Austrian route when compared with that of the French ; to the probability of the Pope's acquiescence to a route through the Italian States; to the desirability or not of a totally independent, one by • Falmouth and Alexandria ; 'and to the special considerations growing out of these various things. Lieutenant Waghorn, as we have hinted, submitted 'to the persevering queries of the company with the greatest complacency, and answered them to the best of his know ledge; and it may be added, he was seldom at a loss, unable to give the information sought for. There was but little disposition manifested to protect the route through France in opposition to the line through Germany, though a member very properly called attention to the recent achieve ment by the former, and drew some pregnant - inferences as to the advantages which would probably arise from compe tition, and the likelihood that France, by the establishment of certain contemplated railways, and the influence of well directed exertion, 'would finally triumph—sentiments which were echoed by a French gentleman, who, in his native tongue, gave several reasons for continued preference to the route by Marseilles. At the close of the " discussion," Mr. Buckingham volun teered an eloquent address, on the social, political, and moral advantages growing out of our rapid correspondence with India, pointing out how it brought the great families of the earth together, promoted civilisation, and engendered a bond of peace and concord which nothing was likely to sever. He alluded to the scanty accounts which the newspapers afforded of Oriental news a few years ago, when a paragraph or two was all that could be hoped for, after long intervals; and he compared the.present state of thing, when two journals—the• Herald and the Times—spend, yearly, thousands in anticipa tion of the mail, and spread huge masses of public and pri vate intelligence over the leggth and breadth of the land. This address, delivered with pleasant fluency, was listened to with great attention. The thanks of the meeting were then bestowed upon Lieutenant Waghorn for his courtesy; and the seconder of the proposition, Mr. George Thompson, took occasion to advert, in felicitous terms, to the obligations under which the country lay fur the services he had ren dered, and for the determined courage he had evinced in combatting and subduing obstacles. Many compliments, in deed, were showered upon the Lieutenant lathe course of the evening, and they were, one and all, honestly his due. ASSAULT ON LORD KINNOULL.—The Perthshire Courier reports at length a trial in the Sheriff Criminal Court, in which three farmers named John Dougall, Peter Mitchell, and James Glass were convicted of an assault on Lord Kinnoull, the Lord-Lieutenant of the county. The in dictment set forth, that one or other of the panels did, on the afternoon or evening of the 19th of December last, seize Thomas Hay, Earl of Kinnoull, by the collar of his coat, on a part of the road leading from Perth to the Bridge of Forte viot, and did violently drag him over a paling or fence from a field on the road side, and did strike him a severe blow upon the neck behind the ear, when at or near the south en trance gate leading to Dupplin Castle, by ail which the said Thomas Hay, EarLof Kinnoull, was severely bruised and in jured, in his person ; and that all the panels were guilty actors, or art and part, in said crime. It appeared from his Lordship's evidence, that on the afternoon of the 19th - of December last he was riding towards the south lodge of Dupplin Castle when one of the three defendants rode against him as they passed his Lordship on horseback. He called them "drunken blackguards," when they turned round, and, after some hostile parleying, they dragged him from his horse and assaulted him in the manner stated in the indictment. It did not appear , that they knew who his Lordship was, and when he mentioned his name they said they did not believe him, and that they would take him and see who he was. The defendant Dougall was fined 101., and the two others 61. each. BIRMINGHAM, GREAT MUSICAL FESTIVAL.—BIR 31LYGIIAISL FRIDAY EVENING.—This morning the Committee of the Birmingham Musical Festival, in support of the G enera l Hospital in this town, met in the Committee-room at the -.Town-hall,, for the purpose of deciding upon the time the festival was to take place.

Hunt, Esq., and W. Richards, Esq. A resolution was unanimously agreed to, that the grand festival should take place on August 25th, 26th, 27th, and 2Stb, in the present year. It is intended to maks it the most magnificent affair which has ever taken place in this country. TER ALLEGED CASE Or MURDER AT BROMLEY.— The unfortunat6 death of Harriet Monkton, so frequently noticed as I egards the mysterious delay in bringing the co roner's inquest to a conclusion, seems to be as far off as ever. It was stated in ne ar l y a ll the Sunday papers a fortnight ago that a memorial•had been forwarded by the jury to the Se cretary of State, Sir James Graham, and that he had written to Mr. C. J. Carttar, the coroner, with a view of bringing the inquiry to an immediate termination. This turns out not to be the fact, as the coroner has received uo such intimation.
