THE SEW HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT.--Lord Canning. the fiewly.appointed Commissioner of Woods and Forests (in the place of the Earl of Lincoln), with Mr. Milne, attended by Mr. I.Ln'ty and Mr. Gr!ssell, paid a visit ef inspection to these works on Saturday last, with reference more particularly to the fitthig-up of one of trie entire floors of the new building, overlooking the Thames for the too of the incrcasin requirements or the railway committees. Messrs. Grissell and Veto have, in consequence, receive.' directions to complete immediately twenty of these noble apartments for the above purpose, and which we are informed they have undertaken to accomplish by the 27th in:f., so as to avoid inconvenience or hind rance to the business of the llrmse of Commons. The rooms in ques tion are approached by a passage-tray across the new building, com- T.nmii4ating with the present temporary connnittee-rooms in the Star Chamber Court, and they are in immediate connexion with the new corridor, extending from One vat—linty of the building to the other, N) nerrly G feet in length. There are onwards of 200 workmen em ployed in the operation, and from the cpac'oits character of the apart ments and . the ion 'nese of the ceilings, we do not apprehend that ere will be much hecessity for the exercise of the ventilating saga Oty of Dr. Reid.

The intelligence received from Lahore by the Over land Mail will spread universal joy throughout the country. The ♦ictories in the Sutlej were welcomed with enthusiasm, but rather because they were the result of dire necessity, because they were forced upon the British in self-defence, and saved a large portion of Hindostan from the plunder and ravages of a lawless army ; they too were mixed up with the most painful recollections, with a vast loss of brave troops and officers of long standing, who had, without this additional service, merited well of their country: many young men of high promise were cut off in the midst of their career, and the con querors as well as the conquered had to struggle in a dire contest, amidst scenes of slaughter and death that even the bravest view with horror. How different is the scene at Lahore! Peace and moderation and Chris tian forbearance are the distinguishing features of an army so justly irritated by unprovoked aggres sion and by wanton cruelty. The inhabitants flock around British troops but a few days before arrayed in deadly hostility against their coun trymen. They supply them with provisions, they place the fullest confidence in the proclamation of the Governor-General, and thereby furnish only another proof that respect fur treaties, the mild treatment of the native population, and the firm administration of justice, are the means by which a handful of Europeans bare subdued a population of 150 millions, and obtained con quests denied to the most powerful and well-appointed armies. The conduct of the British in the Punjaub, however, will not merit the praises of their country men only; for it is so marked, and of such a novel cha racter, that it must attract the attention of the civilised world. It forms a new era in the history of war, and con trasts nobly with the cruel system which has prevailed almost to the present day, and which was in full vigour during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. MARLBOROUGH was not a ruthless conqueror—on the contrary his disposition was humane, and inclined to mercy ; yet, in the most savage manner, he laid waste Bavaria, destroying men, women, and children in thousands, without remorse, merely because the Elector considered himself bound in duty to adhere to the French alliance. The cruelties committed in the Palatinate by the French during a previous period were even still more atrocious, and by many were re garded only as the privileges of war. The ravages com mitted by BONAPARTE in Germany and Spain, the plunder, the murders, and almost every crime that fol lows in the train of a large army let loose upon a country, are too fresh in the recollection of our readers to require especial notice; but even his tyranny, and his savage treatment of the Queen of PRUSSIA. and the first nobles of the land, were mild compared with that of the civilised Romans, who graced their triumphs by leading captive kings ir, chains, and drowning their expiring groans w ith shouts of victory in the capitol. We rejoice that England has been the first to give such a noble example and estab lish a principle from which hardly any European power can venture to deviate. This will entitle her to respect in the councils of neighbouring sovereigns ; her advice to observe the rules of humanity in carrying or. modern warfare, will tell with proportionate effect, and the profitable consequences of her policy—the obedience of the vanquished, the peaceful occupation of the ceded provinces, the ready payment of moderate taxes, and all the blessings of trade and commerce—will only give additional force to her precepts. To Sir HENRY HARDINGE, therefore, the country and the world at large are deeply indebted —he has made the triumph! of peace infinitely more glorious than those of war—hh, bravery and skill at Albuera, as well as many other places, during his active military career, and the fearless manner in which he led on the British regiments and the native troops at the desperate battle of Ferozeshah have established his character as a warrior, yet he shines still more conspicuously when he practices the mon noble arts of peace. Full details of the conditions imposed upon the Seikh Government, thedisbandonmenl of the rebellious army, the behaviour of the natives, ano the merciful treatment of the capital, as well as the delicate and prudent respect paid to the existing authorities, will be found at length under the pt oper head. It will be seen from these that there are still large numbers of discontented armed natives collected in Lahore, in the provinces, and possibly many of the defeated troops have taken shelter to watch their oppor tunity: the British forces we therefore trust will not be speedily withdrawn or much diminished till some legitimate government, likely to control the lawless, shall be established in the Punjaub. The disasters at Caubul and their manifest causes ought never to be orgotten. It would be impossible to point out any circumstance in the history of Ireland which has caused such distress to her best friends in this country as the present opposition of the Repeal Members to the first reading of the Bill for the protection of life and property. A system ha!• been adopted contrary to all practice, and persevered in with a determination and recklessness, not to say insolence, to the British House of Commons, which has excited strong misgivings as to the motives professed by the Opposition and the object of their attendance in Parliament during the present session. It is well known that a very large proportion of the Irish landlords are hostile to the repeal of the corn-laws, and they are consequently delighted to find such obstacles thrown in its way; but that Mr. O'CONNELL and his supporters should be the instru ments chosen to endanger one of the most im portant measures ever brought forward by a Minister, and one so anxiously desired by the people at large, and more especially the political leader: that hare ever taken part with the oppressed Irish, ap pears totally incomprehensible. Before the commence ment of the session, he announced in Conciliation-hall that he was determined to resume his seat in order to assist the Government in carrying such a humane measure, and invited his friends to accompany him. They did come certainly, and many of them voted for the second reading, but they knew that would not decide the question. They took advantage of a privilege granted to a small minority, rather for temporary protection than for any other purpose — have joined with Lord GEORGE BENTINCK and the mono polists in weakening to a vast extent the moral power of the present Government—and for what purpose ? to oppose a Bill the avowed and the real object of which is to put down the greatest crime that can disgrace human nature. For this laudable purpose they have for weeks prolonged the stagnation of trade in this ca to nse e d nici a la l te o . se B o u f t country, increased th e m i ser i es of the work pthroepyehrtayvewdhoicnbe i n t g wou e l l d as b se e s, diffi an c d ult infinitely greater mischief. They have given a handle to the Orangemen and to a ll enem i es o f Catholicism this country, whi c h w ill b e use d on the fitting occa sion. Exeter -hall and Dissenting meeting-houses, too, throughout the count r y w ill r i ng w i t h s h outs of execra tion when the M'GnExs and O'Souavess, and the rabid leaders of the intolerant party denounce O'CoN NELL and the priests, and the whole Irish Catholics as the protectors of murderers, and confirm their assertions by adducing as a proof the sympathy displayed by the priest, SAVAGE, and the whole of the population in the district, for the martyr, SEERY, condemned as an assassin on the clearest evidence. They will furnish plenty of proofs, too, that the POPES have encouraged and sanctioned assassination; that one of them gave his consent to the murder of WILLIAM of Orange, and that a:1 the horrible Catholic massacres have been either planned or approved of by the Court of Rome. No opposition ever was so ill advised, and its fatal conse quences will yet be Mt when any great boon is proposed for Ireland. The English are slow in believing ill of their neighbours, but they are the most obstinate of. people in their prejudices. A letter from Warsaw, dated April 8, appears in the Universal Gcrman Gazette, from which we extract the following :—" We are informed that the negotiations between the Governments of St. Petersburgh and Rome are suspended for the moment. This is more than pro bable, as the Romish clergy are strongly implicated in the Polish conspiracy, and the Russian Government wishes to ascertain the real facts before it makes any concessions in favour of the Court of Rome." The Augsburgh Gazette says it is very doubtful whe ther the Empress of RUSSIA will visit Rome, as she had originally intended. The Inspector of Police, Boaucsr, who had proceeded, from Cracow to Cosel, by order of theltussian Govern. ment, has returned with about 200 prisoners, whoni he recognised as bAonging to, the territory of Cracow. The Cologne Garotte states that the Archduke FEE.. DINAND D'ESTE is in such disgrace, owing to his want of foresight during the recent events in Galicia, that he has altogether retired from public affairs. Madrid papers to the 12th have been - received. The new Ministers had that day taken the oaths of office. It was their intention to call the Cortes together without delay to ask from them a vote of supply, and to propose a law for the regulation of the press, which, being passed, the Cortes would be dissolved, and a new Cortes convoked. Dispatches had been received from CONCHA, dated Bene vente, 10th April. He states that he was pre paring to operate, so as to cut off the retreat of the insurgents into Portugal, that some agita tion had, manifested itself at Leon, and that a body of refugees and smugglers bad entered from Portugal, and were advancing towards Astorga. It is evident from; the tone of these dispatches, either that the Ministry has not ventured to publish the whole of the intelligence received, or that CoNcue. has not ven tured to tell the whole truth. According to the Castel lano the body of the refugees and smugglers alluded to by CONCHA. consists of 150 mounted men, commanded by General IRIARTE, the friend of ESPARTERO, who was proceeding towards Villar de Frades, where a company of infantry had pronounced. Lugo, too, was, according to the Castellano, in pos session of an insurgent force of 300 or 400 men. It was reported in Madrid that a corps of carbi neers had joined IRIARTE, and that it was probable that he would be joined by the garrison of Tarragona — that there had been a battle between the Esparteroists and the troops at Corunna, in which the former were successful, and were actively besieging General VILLALONGA in the citadel. The city of San tiago had declared for the revolters, and it was also rumoured General VILLALONGA had fled from Galicia and arrived at Santanda in an open boat. Orense, it was stated, had revolted, and the Captains- General of Valladolid and Burgos had sent to Madrid demanding reinforcements. Madrid itself was tranquil. The Ministers had prevented the publication of the I Eco del Comercio. MADRID BOLSA, APRIL 11.—The Three per Cents closed at 30 3-16 far cash, and 301 at 30 days. We have received the Paris papers of Friday and Saturday. They all contain articles commenting on the late atrocious attempt to assasinate the KING. Extracts from the articles on this subject will be found in another column. The debate on the naval budget was re sumed on Thursday, and the Chamber was addressed by Admirals LERAY and IlEnNoux, and MM. DE LAMARTINE and Timm An amendment was pro posed jointly by M. LITERS and M. JANVIER to the effect that the eighteen millions, deducted by the Com mittee, be employed in purchasing timber for the repairs or construction of vessels, and accepted by the Ministry, and on Friday the amendment was agreed to, and the Bill itself adopted unanimously, there being 305 Deputies present. Lords LANSDOWNE and PALMERSTON were present at the sitting on Thursday. The Committee on the law proposed for supplemen tary expenses for 1846 has recommended the Chamber to grant, without reduction, the funds demanded by the Minister of Marine to increase the number of naval officers. The reception of the Grand Duke CONSTANTINE, at Toulon has been most cordial, and the GRAND DUKE has expressed himself highly gratified therewith. IBRAHIM PACIIA was at Toulouse on the 14th, en route for Paris. ' The KING and the Royal Family returned to Paris on Saturday. They arrived at the Tuileries at one o'clock, and were loudly cheered by an immense con• course of people who were waiting their arrival. A few minutes afterwards the 2d Legion of National Guards went to the court of the Tuileries, and was immediately received by the KING, who went down in plain clothes, and passed between the ranks, leading by the hand the Comte DE PARIS, and followed by all the Ministers. The cheering was immense, and the QUEEN was seen in the balcony nearly overcome by her emotion and her tears. The KING received the Members of the Chamber of Deputies at two o'clock. The Deputies went in grand procession from the Chamber to the Tuileries ; they were all dressed in black and marched two and two, headed by M. SAUZET, the President, the Vice-Presi- Lents and the Ministers. They were received in the throne-room of the Tuileries by the Ku-tc, who was Tressed in a general's uniform, and who was surrounded oy the QUEEN and the whole of the Royal Family. there were upwards of 300 Deputies present, amongst whom were MIL ODILON BARROT, DE Li n ARTINE, BERRYER, and CIRMENIN. MM. GARNIER, eAGES and LEDRU ROLLIN were absent. M. SAUZET, in the name of the Chamber, delivered an tddress, which was frequently interrupted by enthusi. .stic cries of " Vivo le Roi." The KING, in replying, Appeared greatly affected. His MAJESTY, accompanied by the Count DE PARIS, afterwards appeared in the balcony of the Place Carousal, and was loudly cheered. The Chamber of Peers assembled at twelve o'clock on Saturday, and the Minister of Justice banded Duke PA SQUIER a royal ordonnance convoking the Court of Peers immediately for the trial of the offence against the KING'S life, committed on the 16th. It was decided that the Court should meet on Monday to hear the Procu reur- General make his statement, and the Peers then proceeded in procession to the Palace. A telegraphic dispatch from St. Etienne, received in PAris on Friday, states that the workmen have taken up arms. It was stated that the movement was con nected with the cause of the Poles. All the troops in Lyons had been dispatched to St. Etienne.

CITY, QUAR7'ER TO THREE. The Cotton-market at Liverpool on Saturday was steady. sales 5,000 bales, 1,500 of which were on speculation. Shares were very flat, and prices were towel., particularly scrip, with but few transactions. The intelligence received from India, in anticipation of the overland mail, has been read witd considerable interest by the commercial classes in the City this morning. Wars to defend national honour and resent aggression are, of course, necessary, but such events necessarily lead to injury as to mercantile pursuits, and to uncertainty as to returns in and from those parts of the world where Great Britain finds itself compelled to assert the dignity of its flag. The commercial accounts received this morning, after congratulations that peace had been arranged in the Punjaub (and without doubt upon a solid foundation), were next looked to, in the hope that same announcement might be found of a revival in the demand for goods in the various presidencies of the East Indies, but the advices are not upon the whole of a satisfactory tenor. British manufactured cottons and woollens were in dull demand. In part, however, this state of things must be attributed to the holidays, which had just terminated as the present advices were sent off. A very active revival of trade was anticipated, but there was a scarcity of tonnage both at Calcutta and Bombay. The private as well as the public accounts from the West India Islands, brought by the Severn royal snail steam-ship, are most satisfactory. The drought, from nearly all quarters, is represented as being extremely severe, and the apprehensions as to the yield of the crops were almost hourly becoming mole general. The public health, too, had been somewhat damaged by the extremely hot weather. It ought, at the same time, to be stated, that shortly before the mail left some fresh showers had fallen, which, though but of little use to the canes ripe for ' cutting; would be of essential service to the oper a ti on of fresh planting. The calamity first alluded t o would, it was lipped, be recompensed by the latter fact. as m t e h r e e Threethan 0 Cent. o pConsolsar cent.

The arrivals of English Wheat were somewhat on the increase, and of very superior quality, compared with the parcels lately on show. The attendance of millers and others being numerous, se lected parcels of both red anl white Wheat of home produce com manded a ready sale, at, in some few instances, an improvement in the quotations obtained on this day se'imight, of about Is per quar ter, and at which a good clearance was effected without difficulty. In the middling and inferior kinds rather more business was trans acted, and previous rates were well supported. At the close of the market most of the mtodling kinds were disposed of. Notwithstand ing the large import of foreign Wheat since this day se'nnight, and the immense stocks in bond, an unusually small quantity, free of duty, was on salt, to-day. Still, however, the inquiry was by no means active, though we consider the most selected parcels to have produced a trifle mote money —say Is per quarter. In bonded Wheats, owing' to the high rates at which certificates were held, very little was doing, yet the holders remain very firm. Although the at rivals of English Barley have beon small, the quan tity moirning• was f u lly a d equa t e t o mee t th e yfinest malting parcels were a slow sale of that r i lis l ' i e ld r l eE thisliiveli the ga nd inferior kinds were a mere drug.

The quality of most of the samples was by no means first-rate. The shipment of Oats from the principal Irish ports having bean small for some time past, we had a very limited quantity on offer this morning; hence the Oat trade was somewhat active, and the quotations Improved Is. per quarter. The allow of flee Foraign Beans was somewhat large. All kinds moved of slowly, at barely late rates. I'eas—the supply of which was small—ruled steady, at full prices. The Flour trade was in a very inactive state at previous figures.

From our own grazing districts the arrivals of Beasts fresh up to day were on the increase, and of very interior quality. Although the attendance of both town and country buyers was numerous, the Beef trade was in a very sluggish state. However, the primest Scots, &c., were mostly disposed ot; at last week's prices ; but most other „.. kinds suffered a - ffecicie of 2d per Sibs, and much difficulty was ex perienced in effecting a clearance. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridge, were received about 1,290 kens, Ileme-breds, and Short- t 1 1 ) Ki e horns i o i i i s , fromi stunts, e 1 , Corns,Ve st er u & s e nd ; Midland fron l other t he r England,l l ereds, 400 of various kinds ; and from Scotland, 300 Horned and polled Scots. The numbers of Sheep were again on the increase, and of unusually prime quality ; yet the Mutton trade was cocrparatively steady, and previou 4 rates were supported in every instance. From the Isle of Wight 50 Lambs came to hand per sailway, while the arrivals of that description of stock from other quarters were moderate. The Lamb trade was steady at last Monday's currencies. Calves were in short supply and sluggish inquiry, yet prices were sapported. In Pigs; very little was doing, at our quotations. A large portion of the Beasts and Sheep from Norfolk did no t arrive hither until past eight o'clock, arisinz from the delays upon the Eastern Counties Railway.

This part-heard case, which came on for further hearing to day, was in prosecution of the will of John Hipkiss, who died in 1835. Immediately after the testator's death, and previous to the production of the will, a conditional agreement was entered into between the plaintiff and the defendant as to the division of the property ; but against the validity of this agreement, it was alleged in the pleadings that intoxi cation had been employed in obtaining the signature. When the arguments were concluded, his Honour gave judgment, observing that such an agreement ought not to have been entered into without good and sufficient advice, as, in the case of intestacy the plaintiff had the power of conferring a title, and in case of there being a will, be might have been left without control over a single shilling. His Honour, in the case before him, could not apply those particular principles which apply to agree ments in the case of families. Without referring, therefore; to the allegation of intoxication, he dismissed the bill without costs, and without prejudice to an action being brought at bar. QUEEN'S BENCH.—(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco.) KYNE v. EVERSHAW. Mr. MONTAGUE CHAMBERS applied for a rule to set aside the non-suit in this case. It was tried before Mr. Baron Alderson at the last assizes of Lewes, and the facts were shortly these :—lt appeared that plaintiff was a builder, and defendant a solicitor; that plaintiff built houses at Brighton, which he had let to tenants, but was pulling down a wall of one of the Louses when defendant interfered and told plaintiff to desist, which he refused. Defendant then brought a police-officer, and plaintiff still persevering, both parties went to the town-hall before the magistrates, and eventually went to trial. That the only evidence given was to the effect that the witness heard that the house in question had been mortgaged, and that defendant was solicitor to the mortgagee.—Rule granted. BAIL COUR.T.—(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Justice COLERIDGE. ) (Sittings in Banco.) THE QUEEN V. WELLSMA N. Mr. UDALL applied for a rule to show cause why an attach ment should not issue against a Mr. Wellman for non-per formance of a ruleof court. It appeared that Mr. Wellsman is a churchwarden of a parish in the county of Suffolk, and in the course of la,t term a rule for a mandamus was obtained, calling on him to place in the hands of the clerk of the peace for the county of Suffolk an inclosure award, in order that an inspection might be made and extracts taken, to be adduced in evidence on an action which was then pending under the Inclosure Act. The defendant ap peared by counsel, but the rule was granted. The rule was served upon him and an inspection demanded, but the answer of the defendant was a most decided and peremptory refusal to allow any inspection or any extracts to be taken. — Rule granted. Mr. M. Smrrpr applied for the postponement of a trial in the case of Oldfield v. Fleming. It appeared that the action was brought to recover the sum of 100/., which had arisen from some gaming trans action; and a gentleman named Jackson, an officer in the 16th Lancers (now in India) was a witness absolutely neces sary for the defendant's case. It was proposed to send out a commission to examina that gentleman, but as his regiment had been present at the affairs near the Sutlej, and was now or dered home, the defendant in the action was anxious that the trial should be postponed until the return of Mr. Jackson. The application was ordered to stand over for three days. The Court afterwards sat at nisi prius, but no case worthy of notice occurred. COMMON PLEAS.—(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco.) TE3IPEST AND ANOTHER V. KILNER. Mr. Sergeant, Thruts moved for a rule to show cause why the verdict in this case should not be set aside and a non-suit entered; or why the damages in the case should not be re duced to 251. instead of 1504 as given. The case was tried at the last York assizes, before Mr. Justice Patteson, and a verdict given for the plaintiff for 150/ The action arose out of a contract between the parties, in which Mr. Kilner, the defendant, engaged to supply the plaintiffs with 100 shares in the Huddersfield and Manchester Railway at 15s. premium each. The action was brought to recover the loss, from the shares not being deli vered according to contract, and the damages awarded was the increase in the premium on the shares from the time of the contract being executed up to the time of the action. Several objections were taken at the time on the part of the de fendant, but the grcunds on which he (Mr. Sergeant Byles) now sought for the rule was, that there were no shares in existence at the time the action was brought (there being only scrip issued, which could not be construed as shares), and therefore there could be no breach of contract that the shares should be delivered within a certain time after being issued ; and further, supposing scrip to be construed as shares, that the contract was off on the 12th of August, and there fore the only damages that ,should have been awarded, was the difference in the premium of the scrip between tha time of the contract and the 12th of August—viz., 251.—Rule to show cause granted. LORD MAYOR'S COURT. (THIS DAY.) (Before the RECORDER.) THE CHAMBERLAIN OF LONDON V. STURT AND OTHERS. This was an action brought by the Corporation of London, to recover certain penalties from the defendants, for having carried on the profession of wholesale traders within the limits of the City, without having previously purchased the City freedoM. Sir Thomas Wilde (with whom were Mr. Gurney, Mr. H. Hill, and Messrs. Ryland and Laurie, city pleaders) ap peared for the plaintiff, and The Solicitor-General, with whom were Mr. Butt and Messrs. Randall and Altcar (city pleaders), appeared fur the defendants. The usual preliminaries having been gone through, The SOLICITOR-GENERAL entered a protest against the case being tried in this court, and another against the mode in which the jury had been empannelled ; whereupon Sir TgomAs 'WILDE counterpleaded, and said that the course now to be taken would be for his Lordship to appoint proper parties to inquire into the mode in which the jury had been empannclled. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL hoped that as he was ignorant of the practice of the Court, it would not be considered un reasonable if he expressed a hope that he might be informed by the plaintiff's agents of the party who had made up the jury list, because that information did not appear upon the record, as was invariably the custom in other courts. Sir T. WILDE said that no such custom prevailed in other Courts. Mr. Burr contended that it did. The RECORDER hoped that the parties would come to some agreement, whereby the necessity of trying the objections of the Learned Counsel for the defendant might be obviatel. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL hoped that his Lordship would try the question himself. The RECORDER—I am not an nnindifferent person.— (Laughter ) The SOLICITOR-GENERAL-Why, my Lord, it is a misfor tune in cases of this kind that, if there be an objection taken to the mode of conducting, there is no human being unindif ferent. The jury cannot be unindifferent persons, for they are citizens of London. The RECORDES—How do you know that they are citizens of London ? The SOLICITOR-GENERAL—We shall find that out by-and by. I shall be quite willing for your Lordship to try whether the jury was empannelled by an indifferent person or not. The RECORDER—YOU are willing, in fact, to make me your nominee. The Soracrron-GENeam.—Precisely so, my Lord. Before issue, however, is joined upon this, I hope your Lordship will consider us entitled to some indulgence, because we are proceeding upon a matter which involves a great constitu tional question, and we have not the same means of informa tion as my Learned Friend possesses. I should therefore, before issue is joined, pray your Lordship to allow me to make an alteration in the challenge which I have put in to the jury, viz., to the effect that the inhabitants of the Cripple gate ward, out of which this jury has been empanelled, are not unindifferent persons. Sir THOMAS WILDE apprehended that it was contrary to all practice to allow a proceeding of that character and ten dency, in cases of this kind. He never before heard a such alterations being allowed. He had already counter pleaded to the objection of his Learned Friend, and really if this proposed alteration were permitted, his Learned Friend might propose alterations in perpetuity. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said that the proceedings had as yet only been ore tenus, and as his client, as well as himself, were entire strangers to the practice of the Court, he hoped his Lordship would not object to the alteration. He would undertake not to propose any further alteration. The RECORDER said that the Learned Solicitor General had already made a solemn suggestion upon the record, and he could not see how he could properly allow him to alter his objection. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL again urged his ignorance of the practice as a ground for the extension of some indulgence towards him. His Learned Friend on the opposite side had every advantage over him in respect of the customs and practice of the Court. He had learned practitioners of the Court on all sides ready to consult with him on behalf of the plaintiff. He certainly did not expect to have been met with such determined opposition and severe adhesion to the strict letter of the practice of the Court on the part of his Learned Friend on the opposite side. Sir THOMAS WILDE said that his Learned Friend had no reason to complain of ignorance of the Court, for the gentle man that instructed him was actually one of the attorney's of the Court. Sir THOMAS WILDE said, his Learned Friend must have peculiar notions of the proceedings of the Lord Mayor's Court. He seemed to infer that the jury came there prejudiced in favour of the plaintiff. But he was not content to come there and raise the question of juris diction, but had expresse d hi s i nten ti on to taie objections in e ver y stage o f t h e case . Th e o bjection he e now proposed to r aise was s i mp l y thi s — w h e th er the sheriff's officer, who eared nothing, not a farthing, whether the plaintiff pained the action or not, was a proper person to summon the jury. That was the question which he wished to raise, and out of it to g roun d a c h a ll enge to t h e array. But when his Lordship knew that the officers had nothing more to do with the selection of the jury than any other person living, but that ether persons were entitled to elect them—that they happened to occur in the list which happened to be apportioned to this month—that: persons serving on j ur i es were elected for cer tain mattersin the year, and not selected to try any parti cular case The RECORDER intimated that the list contained freemen and non-freemen ; in fact, all who were qualified to fill the office. Sir THOMAS WILDE said he was only showing the little value of the objection of his Learned Friend, and why his Lordship ought nob to entertain it. The jury were selected by the sheriff's-officer, whom his Learned Friend said was not impartial, and, therefore, that the jury were also not impartial. Then, with respect to the amen d ment which he proposed to introduce, he (Sir T. Wilde) was of opinion that such amendments were never allowed in cases of this kind. In pleas of abatement, or in challenges to array, Were amend ments ever allowed ? He did not say what his Lordship might do if he were sitting in a different capacity in another place, but he was sitting here at nisi gnus. His Learned Friend had put in issue—he had counter pleaded and they had been entered 911 the record. B ut , after this, he now asked to amend these proceedings by making a new challenge—for this was the real nature of his application— this was the real secret—but he (Sir T. Wilde) held that it ould not be granted. He, therefore, submitted to his Lordship that this was not a case in which any amend ment should be allowed, as it was mere dilatory proceeding, because it was perfectly of that the officer by whom the jury was summoned could have no interest whatever in the matter. Besides the jury which had been empanneled was as impartial as any jury, empanneled by any other officer, could be. Therefjre, the objection was purely a technical one, and was made without any just rea son. What was there in it to induce his Lordship to allow the amendment? Most respectfully, therefore, he submitted that it did not fall within the ordinary principle of amendments; that it could not be properly made, because in law they could not ground a second challenge on another. How, for instance, was it to be introduced en the record? The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said there was no record until it was finally made up. Sir T. WILDE held that the record had been virtually made up. Some discussion then ensued with respect to the way in which returns were made of the persons qualified to serve on the grand and petty juries. The RECORDER said the returns made by the different wardmotes carne to the Court of Aldermen, from whom they passed to the Town Clerk. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said the Sergeant-at-Mace then obtained all or some of the returns, he then summoned the pry, who were accordingly brought here. The objection was, that these officers (for if there had been a sheriff there would have been no difficulty in the matter), that was, the aldermen and ward officers— The RECORDER—They are not officers. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said these persons and the al dermen with whom they acted, first return a list of persons qualified to serve as jurors, and then " somebody," out of all these returns, who is a freeman of the City of - London, se lects the juries.. Whether this was directly a fixed rule or by rotation, he did not know. The RECORDER.—Nobody selects. Suppose it was done by as act of Common Council? The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said it would no doubt be a valid act. The RECORDEIL—That is cenceding the whole question. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL.—It might be an act of Com mon Council that the persons should be taken by rotation. I have the Act in my bands, but I can find nothing about rotation or anything else.—(Laughter.) The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said, the Act showed him that the jury were to be chosen out of the ward of Cripplegate. - This would enable him to shape his challenge, which would be to the effect, that the aldermen and inquest were citizens, and interested in the question at issue. After wishing that the jury had heard the able arguments of his Learned Friend before the House of Lords, in the case of the ‘. Queen against O'Connell," he proceeded to say that his Learned Friend had insinuated to the jury who were to try the case that he (the Solicitor- General) charged them with partiality—a line of conduct which he considered unworthy of the hi.h stand ing of his Learned Friend. He repudiated the charge that he attributed the slightest shadow of partiality to the gentlemen constituting the jury. This was a great constitutional question, which, if not settled in that Court, would have to be decided by the House of Lords. He thought no more of attributing partiality to the jury or the officers by whom they were summoned, than he did of making such a charge again s st his Lordship. After some further remarks, he read the challenge to the array, which set forth that the persons elected at wardmotes held before - Alderman Challis, on the 21st and 22d of December, and the two fol lowing days at the boys' school, Redcross-street, to serve as jurors, were elected by aldermen, and that the divers persons forming the inquest, and each of them, were freemen of the city of London, and interested in the issue of the case, and would participate in the penalties sought to be recovered by this action, and that the defendant Henry Sturt prayed that the panel might be quashed. Sir T. WILDE said, that was a new challenge from be ginning to end. The Sotamon-GENERAL—WeII, my Learned Friend, may plead a demurrer. The RECORDER—Then you mean to impeach the unindif ferency of those gentlemen, the jury, who were elected and sent here. Th: SOLICITOR GENERAL intimated that that was the object of the challenge, and applied to have it introduced in the former challenge to the array. Sir THOMAS WILDE said at first he understood that the application of his Learned Friend was to amend the record, but it was in substance and in form an application to with draw the old challenge and to substitute a new one. The RECORDER—He wishes to incorporate the two. Sir T. WILDE said, nevertheless, it was an application to withdraw the former challenge, and to make a new one. The RECORDER—It is in substance that. Sir T. WILDE submitted that it could not be done, because there was no jurisdiction. He knew of no instance, and yet his attention had been peculiarly given to the subject of challenges. It may be proper to counterplead assuming the amendment made. There were three things to be considered, first, the freedom from the jurisdiction of any challenge ; secondly, the objection ; and thirdly, the right to sustain that ob jection in this Court. His Lordship was aware that the panel was first sent to the inquest, and it was for them to make the array. The Solicitor-General had raised the ground that this was a great constitutional question, and had asserted that the body who made that array was too indefinite in law. He (Mr. T. Wilde) referred to the case of Mr. O'Connell, and stated that he had challenged the array, because there was fraud in the case. That, it was true, was a great question, but, like all such questions, there might be great abuse, and this, he conceived, was an instance. The question was really as to whether there was any jurisdiction, for if there were not, there was plainly no discretion to be exercised, but all precedent had shown that there was jurisdiction. Yet, nevertheless, as this was a matter of great importance, he would pray for time to consider the validity of the amendment. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL would not include any of the popular matter which his Learned Friend had introduced into his address, but he must say that this was a question the importance of which it was impossible to exaggerate. If his Learned Friend would allow, instead of arguing merely for the amendment, that if the time were given the position of a new challenge should be permitted, he was quite ready to submit to the delay. That would certainly , be the more convenient course, for if not raised here the ques tion would certainly be raised elsewhere, and would save the inconvenience of carrying two cases to the House of Lords instead of one. The REconnEx, suggested that there were more cases than one. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL thought that made no difference, for if there were nineteen cases, he conceived that no diffi culty would arise in amalgamating all the other cases after the first. After some conversation, in which the SOLICITGR-GiuNERAL stated, that he did not conceive that a jury could be et pan nelled through any other agency than the inquest, but if the challenge was now refused to him he should make it in a Court of Error, The RECORDER said, that a point had been put to him, and that was, that if this delay were to be allowed, there would be a different jury at the next hearing from that which was now challenged, so that the challenge, as well as the jury. would have gone off. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL conceived that the dely would only be in the nature of an adjournment, so that no incon venience would arise on that account. 1 Sir THOMAS WILDE objected to an alteration of the mode of challenge. The RECORDER conceived that he should not be disposed to entertain any different mode of challenge than that which had already been made. He thought that the cause ought not to be decided by persons who were strangers to the customs and privileges of the City, and he would rather that the course should be by consent than an appeal to his jurisdiction. He should wish very much that there should be such a challenge made as would obligee return to be made of how really the jury was returned. This would occasion no difficulty, as the real feet of right of trial would then be developed, and the right itself might be tested by writ of error, and he did wish that some agree ment should be come to, to save confusion on the record. The Soucrrost-GENEnat. thought, that of course the ad journment would be by consent. Sir THOMAS WILDE thought that his Learned Friend ought not to be permitted to go otherwise than on his first challenge. The RECORDER decided that he would not allow the defendant to substitute in the challenge, and the adjourn ment ought either to be by consent, or that the parties should join issue. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL then would join issue. At this point the jury were allowed to retire for a few minutes. On the return of the jury the Solicitor-General opened the proceedings by calling Mr. Sewell, the Sergeant-at-Mace, who stated that he was aware that the return of parties fit to serve on juries was made a to s wards, t A h r e e G o b w eur n te , C wh l r sh k' s dtehp o e ffi u tg c ye e ,u b e y radoesl the business t s eu for o v i ur e e r h a s is l h n , e q tuhe hadsetrse n o b f oe t ti li hn e igo d gn i different , e s r f e e d n eos t , Gore was ashethaenetecdalleodu, abnedhaslftateodf ttohethseei Sergeant - t at : Solicitor - General 1 Or Mace, and that he obtained the lists from the Town- Clerk's office for summoning the juries.

When th e li s t contained as ma ' ny as 60, he sum moned them all ; but when there was more than seventy, but in consequence of removals or allowances in Court he found his numbers reduced, he was obliged to summon all remaining on the panel. When he had more on the panel than he required, he consulted the lists of last year, and omitted those who had served twelve months before, in order to save them trouble. When this rule could not be y observed, he took th e names as they came, always securing e .2 1 To,„_ _ 48.

The SOLICITOR-GENERAL being about to reply to Si Thomas Wilde's objections, was interrupted by that Learned Gentleman, woo contended that lie had no right whatever to reply, after haying sat down, bystating that "that was his ease." After some discussion it was ultimately decided that th e Solicitor-General might if he chose address his Lordship. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL accordingly proceeded to answer the objection of his Learned Friend, who he said must not suppose that because he happened in this case to appear as counsel for the City of London he had it in his power to stop every one's mouth that might appear against the interests for which he appeared.—(Laughter.) He (the Solicitor-General) appeared there as Counsel for one of her Majesty's subjects, and as an interlocatory question had arisen in these proceedings, he presumed that he had a perfect right to address his Lordship upon it, who, he hoped, would treat this subject with the seriousness and attention which it deserved. He had no wish whatever to occupy unnecessarily the time of the Court, because he happened to be concerned in cases which demanded his presence else where at that very moment. [The case was proceeding when our report left.) A VESSEL RUN DOWN OFF BEACHY HEAD. BRIGHTON, SUNDAY.—Soon after daylight this morning nine persons, comprising the captain and crew and three passengers of the barque Lady Falkland, of Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, which was run down off Beachy Heat jawing the night by the schooner Martha of Guernsey, 01%v Rut ashore here by the schooner's boat. We gather the fol lowing particulars from Reuben Schofield, the mate of the vessel : " We left New York on the 11th of March, with a cargo of logwood, the freight being worth about 6001., and after a good passage arrived oft' Beachy Head about eleven o'clock last night. It was very dark, and shortly after wards the . men on th e wa t c h d escr i e d a vesse l un d er our lea. We e immediately hoisted a light which we bad burning, and I hallooed as loud as I could, but sa they did not get the helm up, we expected they would run in to us, and in less than five minutes the strange vessel struck ours just abaft the fore-chains, and cut her down to the water's edge. She instantly began to fill. The first thing we did was to try to stop the hole by thrustirg in the bedclothes. In less than ten minutes after she was struck we sounded the pumps, and found that she had, eight feet of water in the hold, and we expected that the vessel would instantly sink. Seeing no hopes of righting her, we lost no time in unlashing one of the boats, into which we all get, but it was nearly half an hour before the vessel sunk, which, if we had known, we could have saved some of our things, but, as it was, we saved nothing except what we wore. The vessel that struck us proved to be the Martha, of Guernsey, and the moment the accident hap pened, and seeing the perilous situation in which we were placed, they remained alongside, and rendered all the assis tance in their power. In a few minutes we were safe on board the Martha, which sustained no damage worth men tion. The Lady Falkland sunk in about ten fathoms of water, about six miles from shore, E. by N. of Beachy Head. One of the passengers, William Holmes, a native of Devon port, states that this is the fourth time he has been ship wrecked since last August." RAILWAY SEA kRE MARKETS. MANCHESTER, APRIL 18.

LEEDS, APRIL 18. Svocx EXCIIANGE.—There is little variation to note on the Share Markets during the week. The transactions have been limited in extent, and prices pretty stationary. The settlements for the ac count caused a temporary advance and appearance of improvement for a slay or two, but blustering news from America checked invest ment, and stock of all descriptions receded to its former position, closing with but few buyers. A growing desire evinces itself among scripholders to facilitate the winding up of new railway projections, and several meetings have already been held in Leeds on the subject; but it will require a little time ere the bulk of the holders are recon , tiled to meet losses which they are willing to admit are eventually inevitable. At present "like drowning men they catch at straws,' and in the illusory hope that something in the chapter of accidents may turn up to the advantage of the particular schemes in which they are interested, they hold on blindly 'while the little that might be rescued from the general wreck is being swallowed tea in further costly proceedings. In some instances a feeling of rivalry has ob tained such hold on promoters, that they feel it derogatory to them individually to abandon the schemes with which they have become connected before their rivals have left the field, while hopes of amal gamation keep others -struggling on. All are equally fallacious; where amalgamation with existing interests is likely, arrangements have already been made or proposed, and opposition now among new schemes which are at heavy discounts is but emptying the coffers to their own injury, while the mere "holding on" without object, save the chance of an indefinite something, is surely manifestly impolitic at this time. We hope, for the sake of those whose means do not just.fy further risks, that no such mistaken influences will be allowed to interfere with the abandonment of very many of the profitless schemes now before the public.
