The Directors of the Northern and Eastern Railway having been ieurined that it would be agreeable to their subscribers and useful to the public to explain their views with respect to the origi nally projected line from London to Cambridge and York, take the opportunity to publish the present statement. The Act which has been obtained gives power to make a railroad from London to Cambridge, only ; it does not give the power to carry the line beyond that town, or to apply any part of the capital to the construction of the line from Cambridge to York. Jt is obviously desirable, however, that the line should be conti nued from Cambridge to York. Such a continuation would be very profitable in itself ; it would plainly be very advantageous so the London and Cambridge shareholders. The promoters of the Lon don and Cambridge line, therefore, are desirous of assisting towards the completion attic line to York ; but they are of opinion that it is advisable for the fixture to keep the two lines entirely distinct as to the subscrpitions and the profits. It is due to the shareholders in the line from London to Cambridge to give them the preference of shares - in the continuation line, but the subscriber to'the one will not thereby become a subscriber in the other. By thus Weeping the two lines distinct subscribers will have the ofiportunity of investing capital either in the one or the other, both perhaps equally profitable, as tnay suii their inclination or the interests of their localities. • The same parties who have been influential in procuring the act to Cambridge will continue to eo- operate with others as th zealous promoters of the completion of the line to York ; but in so acting, they will further that object, not as Directors under the act from London to Cambridge, but as independent supporters in the charac ter of a Provisional Committee of an undertaking which they feel convinced will be not less profitable to its promoters than useful to theeountry at large, and which, like all other branches flowing into the parent ace, must under any circumstances contribute materially to its prosperity.

The object of thi,s undertaking is to construct a public quay, nearly one mile and a half in extent, to be accessible at all times of the tide, combined with machinery for discharging laden vessels, and adapted— !. To the great object of a rapid discharge of coal s . 2. Ti the Steam Navigation Trade, in conjunction with the Blackwall Railway, for the conveyance of passengers to the heart of the metropolis. 3. To the coasting trade and all vessels requiring a speedy delivery of their cargoes. The principal feature in this undertaking , is the discharge of coals by machinery on the wharfs into one or two-ton boxes, and conveying them to the cellar of the consumer without either change, or breakage, or into barges alongside, and towing them to their respective destinations by steam tugs, in strings of a number at a time. Thus the interests of the merchants and the consumers in all parts of London will be consulted—the shipowner will have his vessel afloat in the stream, without obstructing or impeding the navigation—the intentions of the Legislature (contained in the Reports of the Navigation on the River Thames, and on the Coal Trade) in clearing the Pool not only of the colliers, but of the straggling barges, will be most completely carried out—and the construction of collier or steam docks (the impracticability and inconvenience of which have been fully established) will be ob viated, no compulsory clause will be required, and the discharge of the coals can be effected without any additional expense, and at a great saving in point of time to the coal and shipowners. The estimated revenue has been calculated on data from Custom house and Parliamentary documents, and shows a large remunerat ing, profit to the shareholders. Resolutions in favour of the measure have been passed by the colliery and ship owners of the north of England, and by the town council of Newcastle. The Committee, therefore, recommend it with confidence to the public, on account of its importance as a great national work, its certainty of profit to the shareholder, and from the substantial sup port it has already received. The plans, sections, and books of reference hare been deposited with the clerks of the peace and parish clerks--notices have been given to the owners and occupiers—and the standing orders hare been complied with to obtain an Act of Incorporation in the next Session.

" I care not how I am physicked, so it be not by the adventure et a quack, but advice of a physician, who I am sure will prescribe no more for me than may consist with my safety, and need dsth require, " Old Divine. The Possessor of the Prescription from which these Pills are prepared, solely for him, by Mr. John T. Eddy, a scientific Chemist, obtained it from the late Dr. Armstrong, (Lecturer at St. Thomas's Hospital, London, and Author of the-celebrated Works on Typhus and Scarlet Fever, asc. &c.) Stir his Wife who, in 1827, became the Doctor's patient, whe n ev id ently l abouring under confirmed Liver complaint, and to all appearance in a • deep decline. She had not long taken the Pills, at the prescribed inter vals. before she was perfectly restored to health ; and has, with the occa sional use of them, continued free from pain, and in perfect health and cheerful spirits ever since. The Possessor of this admirable Prescription (a Gentleman of private fortune), haying distributed the Pills with the most extraordinary succese Aunongst the Poor in many Counties in England, in 1835 determined to otter them, at a price, to the p ublic ; his personal observation and cape. eience having convinced him that they would prove a real blessing, if .taken according to the Physician's. Advice and Directions in the wrapper, t° Ml—both old and young, children as well as adults: women, pregnant, and after the month of confinement—who suffered from an inactive Liver, and thence all the attendant miseries of Indigestion; Bilious Aire,. tions (so called) • Flatulence, Jaundice, Dropsy; Pain in. the sides and under the Shedder Blades ; Difficulty o f Breathing; distressing Sensa tion of Choking : w ith th e complexion, and white of the eyes, yellow. The very first two pills generally atffird such relief—such ease from every distressing pain—that the patient is at once surprised and delighted. The Medicine Is gentle, though certain In its benign effects. The quantity prescribed to be taken is small, and not oftener than alternate nights. The attention of the public is called to the following statement of facts : A cook, in a gentleman's family, complained to her mistress of such Pain in the right side, and such loss of appetite, that she could not do her Work, and thought that she must again give up her situation, as she had • been obliged to do for the same cause in two previaus places. Her min. tress recommended her to try Dr. John Armstrong's Li v e r Pills, as she staid all othe rs h a d failed. Thegirl bought a box, and the first two pills re lieved her from all pain, and she said she felt better than e ver she had done in he r life. The first two operated briskly, the next two gently, and afterwards only as a pleasant aperient ; but the pails nev er returned. A sailor's wife had only been a fortnight confined, and was suffering agonies in her back and sides, evidently owing to an inactive Liver, her skin being as yellow as saffron. A friend gave her some money to buy a tent of Armstrong's Liver Pills. When that " friend in need called to !tee the poor woman again, she was surprisingly better--acarce any pain in ber is clinking sensation—skin much clearer, and appetite and ge literal health rapidly improving. A Magistrate, who was much troubled with boils, at the instance of a relative bought a box of Armstrong's Liver Pills. Before he had taken Mc pills at the prescribed intervals, lie was astonished at his perfect cure, and declared it was t h e b est me di c i ne h e ever too k i n hi s lif e . Jaundice and Dropsical cases immediately relieved. ~ hundreds of similarly striki n g c a se s mi g ht be noticed, but for the space iSt.e,a occupy in an advertisement ; a nd each Moue person who tries these Pills (Most expensive in their , preparation to the proprietor) will furnish a most satisfactory and convincing case of cure or relief to himself.

CHURCH of ENGLAND BIBLE ONLY ASSOCIATION, for PURGING her FORMULARIES of FAITH and WORSHIP from the WORST and most MIS CHIEVOUS LEAVEN of POPERY—UNSCRIPTURAL PHRASEOLOGY. " Yet have I left me . . . . all the knees that have not bowed to Baal."-Ist Kings, xix. 18. Are there, at the present moment, more Arians or Athanasians in the Church of England? This may seem a strange question in an age of apparently quite thick-and-thin, eke rampant, Orthodoxy. But Arians, under the rose, have always abounded in Athanasian Churches ; and no wonder that in any they should preponderate over. their opponents. Upon the face of the Scriptures, the supe riority of the Son to the Father is certainly at least as palpable as his equality with him ; and his inferiority not at all more proble matical than his existence. The relative numbers, therefore, of those alternately victorious parties in the Church, will always de pend on the comparative value attached to the Scriptures, at any given moment, by the advocates of tradition ; and the strange question resolves itself into another—whether, in our' Establish ment just now, there are more Protestants in name, or in reality? Now, we cannot think that, in our day, malgre appearances, the more than half Biblists would, upon an honest show of hands, exhi bit a most fearful muster against the panegyrists of an anti-Biblical nomenclature.

Original Letters at 39, Broad-street, Bloomsbury, To Mr. Grirpstone, Broad-street, Bloomsbury. Ophthalmic Hospital, Chai ing-Cross. SlR,—Perceiving that in one of your bills my name is mentioned in union with that of my late patient Mr. Latchtield, I beg leave to confirm his testimony, and state the great benefit derived by the use of your ex cellent herbaceous eye-snuff in his case, which was one of obstinate chronic ophthalmia, accompanied by opacity of the cornea, and a varicose state of the conjunctional vessels. his case was the first under my notice in which the preparation was used; but, being struck by the ad. vantageous results, I resolved to lay aside prejudices, and advise its use in some cases in my practice at this hospital. The benefit was great, and has led me still further to recommend it, but, unfortunately, the funds of the hospital are low, and our patients too oft,n cannot afford the purchase of your snuff, it being, from its price, alrnost as unattainable to the poor as patent medicine would be. If it be not asking too much, could you form any anangement by which the really indigent patients of this institution could be supplied with the eye-snuff at a lower price, on producing a re. commendation to that effbct, signed by me. If you could, I would ask you to be so kind as to write to me here on the subject ; in doing so you would perform a great act of charity, and the obligation would be felt, not only by :be poor whom you would relieve, but by your obedient servant, J. G. GUTHRIE. Mr. Grimstone has. complied with the above humane request of Dr. Guthrie Whitehall, March 8, ISI6. SIR—I think it but justice that I should offer my acknowledgments to you for the great benefit I have derived from the use of your, most exquisite fragrant compound of herbs, called Eye Snuff. Its action on the membrane of the nose causing the lachrymal glands to discharge in a manner truly surprising, and by that means so cleansed the cornea, that my Eyes became healthy, Or 'rig, and performed their wonted duties in a manner that 1 h lye not knovio the blessing of for six years. 1)r. Guthrie, the renowned oculist, recommended me to try your Eye Snuff, prior to. my undergoing an operation. Many thanks to him forhis recommendation ; thanks to your invention, that operation will not be necessary. Sir, you have my permission to snake this known in any manner you think best. I am, Sir, your obedient servant. J. B. LACHFIELD. To Mr. Grimstone,39, Broad-street, Bloomsbury. P.S.

Previous, however, to entering into the hallowed obligation of marriage, it becomes an impressive duty not only to regulate the passions, but to cleanse the grosser nature from those impurities which the freedom of unrestricted pleasure may have entailed upon it. Luxurious habits will effeminize the body—a residence in the tropics will relax the elastic fibre—but more especially does the premature infatuation of youth too frequently compromise the natural dignity into a state of inanition, from whence the agonized sufferer more than doubts the chance of relief. To all such, then, we address ourselves, offering hope —energy—muscular strength—felicity. The easy cares of married lite are sometimes disturbed by the suspension of those blessings which concentrate the nuptial wreathfor the female habit is often con. stitutionally weak—yet it can be strengthened, and deficient energy im. proved into functional power. In every case of syphilitic intrusion, ,as well as in every relaxation of the generative economy, we pledge our abi. lity to cure speedily, and with effect. Confident in our own honourable inte gray as members of the College of Surgeons, we refer the suffering com munity of either scut especially those entering into matrimonial life) at nee to our house, whore daily attendance is given for personal consulta tion ; and letters from the country are immediately answered ; these must contain a remittance for Advice and Medicine, tie4ribing minutely the rase, which can be forwarded t o an y p ar t o f th e w orld, however di s tant.

The Bath Gazette states that the keeper of a gen tleman of Nettleton, Wilts, having observed an extraordinary number of starlings alight on the branches of a small planta tion, went in the night, accompanied , by some , men and boys, with a lantern, and firing 26 shots at random •among the branches, brought down no less .than 802 birds, which com pletely filled a four-bushel sack, and their weight being 1-101bs. In the morning, upwards of 100 more.wero picked up wounded—making little short of 1,000 birds killed with 26 shots. THE NOVEMBER METEORS.—Another link has been added to the chain of evidence tending to prove that the i appearance of falling stars in November s periodical. M. Arago had arrangements made to insure simultaneous observa tions for the night between 12th and 13th November, and the report gives the following result :—At Paris the number ob served was 170, at Dieppe 36, at Arras 27, at Strasburg 85, at Vonaltemare 75, at Anjcrs 49, at Rochfort 23, and at Havre 300. At the Paris Observatory watch was kept the whole night, but at the other places observations were only continued two, three, or four hou rs . I n th e great meteor i c shower of 1833 the falling stars appeared to issue from a point in the constellation Leo. At Bercy 120 were seen, of which 57 traversed lines, which, if continued, would have ended in that constellation ; and others seen elsewhere had similar courses. Supposing the portions of meteoric substance (or asteroids) to exist in the part of the planetary spaces where the earth is at the middle of November, the reason why they seem to come from the constellation Leo is obvious. Though the earth's course round the sun is a circle, such a small portion of it &is is traversed in two or three days, scarcely differs from the straight line called its tangent. This tan gent, or line of the earth's annual motion at the 13th and 14th November, points exactly towards the constellation Leo ; and supposing 'any masses of fluid matter to exist in a stationary state at the part of space where the earth then is, she will be impelled against them in this direction, and with a velocity of 18 miles per second. But from our natural though delusive impression that the earth is in a state of rest, we transfer the motion to the meteors, and suppose that they are rushing to wards the earth. It follows that the point from which they seem to come will be that towards which the earth is moving at the time, namely, the const e ll a ti on L eo . T o s im p lif y th e e ease, the asteroids have been supposed to be stationary, but they are unquestionably in motion, performing a revolution round the sun in some place different from that of the earth's orbit. Neither is the motion which produces their descent entirely in the earth also assumed, for they will - be acted upon by the carth'S attraction and rush towards it with a motion resulting from that attraction independent of the course they were describing, Their periodical recurrence is now un doubted, and the appearance in the particular part of the hea vens Aliticiod to itcyouqtycl for, SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. Those who are acquainted with Scotland, laugh at the idea of any re-action having taken place in that country. There is really no re-action either in England or Scotland. In Scotland fictitious votes have been created by the Tories to an almost inconceivable extent,' to say nothing of exclu sive dealing and harassing opposition to the registration of Reform voters and the application of money. There is an union and fellowship among the Tories, who are most in defatigable in effecting their objects, for they feel that the cause in which they are embarked is one of life or death to them, The produce of the industry of this country, and of the resour ces o f i ts colonies affords such ample prey to the Tories, that they naturally make the most des perate exertions to prevent any portion of this source of supply from being dried up. It was the object of the Re form Bill to give a controul over the public expenditure to the classes interested in opposing corruption, but the host of - corruptionists in this country is so great, and the Reforwilill left so many openings to abuse, that the ob ject in question has been defeated in but too many in stances. The squire of 2,0001. a year, who has three or four sons whom he wishes to provide for as gentlemen at the public expense, has so much more powerful a motive for bestirring himself' to uphold a corrupt system than the industrious citizen imagines -he has individually in pro moting a system of economy, that the latter in too- many instances yields after a faint struggle to the well or ganized system of intimidation, of which the rami fications pervade every corner of the country. We fear. that if the evil be not boldly met in time, Renfrew shire is not the only county in Scotland that will be lost to the Reformers. In England, from- the long sway of the. Tories, the Lord-Licutonants are of that party ; and the magistracy are with few exceptions the most violent of their partisans, and from their local connections are very formidable agents. The clergy are everywheie incessantly at work in the Tory cause, so that in several counties it might be supposed there was an eternal general election. The Rev. Sydney Smith interprets correctly the feelings of the Church when he states that the clergy arc constantly looking- to the grand prizes ; and where some poor creature of a working clergyman is without lia-Pe of ob taining any of these prizes, he is placed ;a such a state. of abject dependence on the more wealthy that he is compelled to become their tool. That the clergy are far more oc cupied with politics than with divinity noeessarily re sults from the object after which they strive. They have at present a thousand ways of influencing their parishioners, and it must be owned that they are too often successful. The Church is enlisted on the side of corruption, and the education of the higher classes in the Universities and pub lic schools being almost exclusively in the hands of parsons, we can be at no loss to understand why there have been so many defections from the Liberal aristocracy to the Tories. Indeed, it was made the subject of boast some time ago by one of the headi of Eton, that all the young mon of that seminary were made Tories. The administration of the Horse Guards being in Tory hands, we can be at no loss to understand why the officers of' the army are almost univer sally Tories, it being notorious that the purchase of com missions is allowed only to the sons of those who sup port Tory politics. We do not allude to this cir cumstance as a reason for the people of these king doms abandoning the ascendancy given .to them by the Reform Bill, and to crawl in the dust before their enemies, hut that they may be impressed with the magnitude of the danger which threatens them, and may properly meet it. One thing must not be forgotten. Every reduction, every retrenchment, weakens the enemies of the people, and in the same proportion, strengthens the friends of good go vernment. The expenditure of such enormous sums dur ing the war gave an organization and a power to the Tory cause which it never before had ; but as a man cannot eat his - cake and have it, the cessation of loans with the war, and the oppressive burden of the heavy taxation necessary to meet the charge on the debt caused by a wasteful and extravagantly-conducted war, gave a blow to corruption, under which it continued to stagger till the passing of the Reform 13ill. We do not by any means despair of the good cause, but once more we say the battle which still re mains to be fought with the Tories will be a tough one. But we must fight the good fight, and endeavour to " lay the proud usurpers low."—Morning Chronicle. We believe that it is pretty generally understood that the.speeches of movers and seconders of addresses are not fair subjects for criticism. There is a proverb which for bids us to look a gift horse in the mouth, and a mover or a seconder appears to be equally protected. Were this not so, we could hardly resist the temptation which Lord Suf field's speech holds out. " There was- no one," said his Lordship, " who would not admit that the policy which produced the greatest happiness to the greatest number was unquestionably the best policy for all countries." We were not before aware that this piece of Benthamite cant had cir culated so generally in Westminster that there was any danger of a member of' the House of Lords catching it. Such, however, appears to be the fact, and how much farther from Queen-square it may spread we will not venture to predict,; for though, in fact, the wildest ab surdity or the tritest truism in the world, it is a most bene volent, and therefore a most taking sound, as well with the soft-headed as with the soft-hearted. But for the sense of it ? There-are savages who think tattooing, or natural " buff" and " blue" paint, instead of clothes, and oil, tallow-grease, or an undergone young child by way of food, constitute the height of happiness : the Turks delight in opium and tobacco, and other tribes and people have ether tests -of happiness which it would be very difficult to reconcile with Christianity or civilization. Yet 'this Ben thamic benevolence would continue to all such the bles sings of blundering on in their own benighted and vicious ways. Verily modern philosophy is playing strange antics and getting into strange pl aces ! B ut, as we have said, his Lordships speech on this occasion is not a fair subject for criticism, and we therefore resist the provocation it affords. Yet how came his Lordship to read the speech of the Lords Commissioners so carelessly, or how happened it that the Ministers did not give his Lordship earlier no tice of the alterations they resolved to make in the speech after his Lordship first saw it ? That one of these little centre-temps - must have occurred, we take to be manifest from the observations Lord Suffield made in - seconding the address ; for he laid great stress upon the effects of the Poor Law Act, and attributed to it results which never did and never will appear ; while he gave a most flattering view of almost universal blessings that had been conferred by the Tithe Commutation Act --a measure from which we anticipate much good, bUt which we beg to assure Lord Suffield can hardly yet be said to be in operation. All, therefere, that fell from his Lordship on these subjects was pure hallucination ; but the subjects themselves must surely have been originally touched - upon in the speech, however and whenever they •disappeared from it. To this rather curious phenomenon our readers must attribute these ob servationk,- and not by any' means consider them in the light of: tEbreath -or Pitilinnientiffy 'Courtesy, which formal criti cism upon the speech- of a 'seconder of - an address would unquestionably be.—Times. In the reception of Mr. Roebuck's speech on Tuesday evening we have an illustration of the truth of the remarks we made the other day upon the envy„hatred, and malice with width the leaders of the Movement party regard each other. Mr. Roebuck did not assert a sirgle opinion, nor express a single desire, which has not been twenty times asserted and twenty times expressed by twenty other of the democrats by whom he was surrounded. The perfidy of the Whigs in their daily preference of their own interests to the interests of the people is the favourite topic of the Jaco bins of 1837. The proofs upon which the charge is uni•! formly based are the resistance !Atha Whigs- to the Ballot the resistance of the. Whigs to the repeal of the rate paying clauses of the Reform Act ; the resistance of the Whigs to Peerage Reform ; and the resistance of the Whigs to Church demolition. Mr. Roebuck on Tuesday evening preferred publicly the accusation which his compeers privately whisper'; and he supported it by the arguments on which they profess to believe it is sufficiently ma i nta i na b le. W i thout trave lli ng out of our way to fl atter an i n di v id u al o f w h om we t hi n k ex tremely ill, we may venture - to say that Mr. Roebuck's oration, c ompare d w i th the orat i ons o f M r . H ume an d D r. Bowrin g , was f ull of point and f u l l o f power. W e ll . Th i s harangue was heard- with the most frigid silence by about a hundred Members, who have no wish to disavow Mr. Roebuck's opinions, and who have certainly no right to be critical on Mr. Roebuck's style. We perceive that the friends of the Government draw from.. the neglect with which the poor Member for Bath was treated a favourable augury for the continued popularity of the principles of the Melbourne Cabinet. We are told to observe, that when Mr. Roebuck bawled .for the Ballot nobody listened ; that when Mr. Roebuck denounced the Peerage nobody cheered ; and, therefore, we are ordered to conclude that the policy of the Cabinet, which is to reject the Ballot and- defend' the Peerage, is still in favour with all who were so chary of their attention and so stingy of their applause. No thing can be mare fallacious than such an inference. If it be true, and we have not heard it denied, that. Mr. Hume, that Mr. Grote, that Mr. Clay, that Mr. Bulier a and oher4 whom We might enumerate, , " by dozens and by scores," have all averred their desire for the organic changers .which Lord Melbourne abhors, it is too much to conjecture that they are suddenly apostatizing from the doctrinee, merely because some whim or caprice, which it is hardly worth while to analyze, induces them to turn their backs on an unpopular expounder of them. In /he Totness Meeting, and the Tewkesbury Meeting, and the Bath Meeting-, and the Drury-lane Meeting, Lord Melbourne has still his chain of evidence that the majority of his followers are more at variance with him than he with the majority of his opponents—that he is a Reformer sup ported by men who look for revolution ; an aristocrat, sup ported by men who strive for a Republic ; a Churchman, supported by men to whom a Church is an abomination. W e called Mr. Roebuck an "unpopular "expounder of these doctrines. Why is lie so ? With us, of course, he is in no great esteem ; but why should he not be admired and trusted by gentleme'n who take Mr. C. Buller for a wit, and Mr. Joseph Hume for a philosopher ?—.3forning Post. Never was there a more complete failure than that of the late attempt to create disunion amongst the Reformers of the House of Commons, and never was it more necessary than at the present juncture for those really anxious for the improvement of our institutions, to concentrate their un divided energies in support of those great meow:cos upon which the representatives of the people pronounced a ver dict of approval in the past session, but which were refused admission to the statute book by the hereditary lawgivers. It is not that we consider these measures sufficiently liberal in themselves, still leap sufficiently comprehensive of the subjects on which an ameliorative - process "of legis lation is desirable---but it is because we consider them to be more immediately necessary to the safety, tranquil lity, and prosperity of the empire, that we haVe urged, and do urge every friood of Britain and of freedom to make these questions the first object of his pursuit and support. Let not the energies of Reformers be wasted in at tempting the impossible, It is very well to keep the public and the senate iti mind of the lull amount of the popular claims, but it would be folly to sacrifice great and. ;nlmediate advantages by looking after those more re mote. Besides, the stronger the express of public opi nion, and the more unequivocally the repreientativeS of the people pronounce their decision on the questions to which we refer, the less pretext will be afforded to the Lords for a course of policy adverse to the national sentiment. The Peers should not be left the shadow of foundation for the pretence that they hare the support of the people in their outrages on the public rights, nor be afforded an opportu nity of seeking a palliation of their conduct in the diver sity of opinions and the instability of the public mind. The proceedings in the Rouse of Commons, on Tuesday, with one insignificant and contemptible exception, were in every respect most gratifying to the friends of Re form. This exception' occurred in consequence of the Honourable Member for Bath having, after six F months gestation, delivered hiinSelf of a piece of flip pant and frothy declamation, without any intelligible object, save the pleasure of hearing his own sweet voice, and ascer taining to what extent overweening vanity and meddling impertinence could influence the representatives of the Bri tish people. The result was conclusive. Those against whom this mighty little politielan directed his observations did not think them deserving of notice, and Mr. Hume, whose opinions are at least as liberal as Mr. Roebuck's, re plied to his laboured harangue in a manner that left the splenetic senator but little cause to exult in the result of his labours. All' his strutting, and fretting, and fuming had no other effect than to excite the derision of his enemies and the pity of his friends. The principles to which Mr. Roebuck has attached himself are, for the most part, those which the Morning Advertiser has ever advocated, and therefore we the more regret the necessity of censuring his conduct, which we are impelled to do solely on account of a desire to prevent the contagion of his example, and to impress upon others how far preferable it is to exercise limited ta lents in a limited sphere, and on matters within the range of their comprehension, than by taking flights beyond their strength to exhibit deficiencies which otherwise might have ever escaped observation. There are many men, of even less political sagacity, and far less pretension than Mr. Roebuck, whose exertions, if properly directed, would prove highly beneficial to their own and their country's in terests ; but if such men, in vexation at their own incapa city to achieve any high and lofty object of laudable ambi tion, desert the post which circumstances and a moderate share of ability assign them, and seek distinction, not by the good, but by the evil which in their perversity they may have it id their power to accomplish, they deserve to be denounced by every honest man.—Morning Advertiser. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY FAR. 1. Term being ended, the Lord Chancellor this morning re. sumed his sittings in Lincoln' s I nn Hall. DRWIIERST V. WRIGLEY. This matter was argued some time back at Westminster. The question is , whether the plaintiff or defendant is entitled to the water of a stream at Halifax, for the use of a cotton-mill. His Lordship suggested an issue to try the facts, and the terms of that issue were sattled. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, FEB. 1. SMITH V. HALSTEAD, KNT. 'Fite ATTORNEY-GENERAL stated that this was an action for work and labour performed by the plaintiff as an estate agent. The defendant was an Admiral in the Royal Navy; and had . formerly been the owner of a large estate in Hampshire, known by the name of Phenix Lodge. Being desirous of selling this property, be employed the plaintiff to procure him a purchaser. The plaintiff, who carried on an extensive business as.an estate agent in Waterhio-place, accordingly em ployed himself in finding a purchaser, and was speedily ena bled to do so. This was a gentleman of the name of Wood, to whom the estate was sold for a sum of 20,000/. Upon this purchase money the plaintiff charged, as commission, the sum of 11. per cent. ' That charge included advertisements, and other expenses, incidental to the sale of property. No charge could be more fair, it was what was usual in the trade, and the defendant having bad the full benefit of the plaintiff's services ought not now to object to pay for them. Sir W. FOLLETT insisted that the charge attempted to be made on the part of the plaintiff was exorbitant. The Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff, dam ;es 50/. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, FEB. 1. HILT V. DAVIS. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, who is a cab proprietor, to recover compensation in danipages for the loss which he had sustained in consequence of a collision between a cab belonging to hiin and a coal waggon, the property of the defendant, produced, as he alleged, by the carelessness and neglect of the defendant's set-Wants. —Verdict for the defendant. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, FEB. 1. NI ALE V. MAYOR. This was an action of trespass, to recover compensation in damages from the def en d an t f or ill ega ll y i mpounding a horse, allege to be the property of the plaintiff The only questions were whether the horse was the property of plaintiff, and whether the fence was sufficient. The Jury found for the plaintiff on the first issue, and for the defendant on the second, leave being given to move to enter a verdict generally for the defendant. The case occu pied the greater part of the day. Several undefended causes were then taken and disposed of, and the Court rose shortly before four o'clock. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. Mr. Justice WILLIAMS and Mr. Justice COLERIDGE, accom panied by the Loan MAYOR, took their seats on the bench at ten o'clock. OPINION OF THE JUDGES.-Just as Mr. Justice Williams and Mr. Justice• Coleridge were about leaving the Court, Thomas Allen and John Minter Hart were ordered to be called up, to receive the decision of the Judges upon their re spective cases. 7 On the prisoners being placed in the dock, Mr. Justice WILLIAMS addressed them as follows :—Thos. Allen, you were indicted at the last December Sessions, for larceny. You were tried and convicted for stealing three chests of teas on the high seas, when a question was reserved for the opinion of the Judges, which was, from the facts of the case, whether the charge could be sustained as laid in the indictment, of a felony having been committed on the high seas. The Judges have met, and are of opinion that the con viction is proper. John Minter Hart—you were also tried and convicted at the same Sessions, held in December, upon au indictment, charging you with forging a bill of exchange for tool., also with uttering a bill of exchange for the same amount, and with forging an acceptance f or th a t amount , w i t h i n t e nt to defraud Charles Herbert Jenner. On those counts the jury found you guilty. The Learned Judge who tried you re served a point raised by your counsel for the opinion of the Judges, and which has been argued before the whole of them. Mr. Curwood appeared for you, and very ably argued the case. ''The main -topic on which he dwelt was as ap peared from the facts of your case. You were empowered to draw a bill of exchange for 200/., but you did not possess the authority to exceed that sum, and in so doing the offence amounted to one of fraud, but not of forgery. The Judges could not fail to observe that you only had authority to draw a bill for 2001., and had you not exceeded that amount then no offence had been committed; but you exceeded that authority to the extent of 3001., and therefore it is a false making, and amounts to forgery. The conviction must, therefore, accord ingly stand. BOW- STREET. Yesterday Robert Broughton, who was charged at this office on Monday, on suspicion of having murdered his wife Ann, at the house No. 9, Cook's -court, Carey-street, on the previous day, was brought up for re-examination. The only additional witness called was Mr. Nicholle, the gentleman in whose occupation the house in Cook's-court was, and by whom the deceased woman was employed as laundress, He stated that the deceased had the entire charge of the house. which was e holly occupied by offices, and he had never ftnia sented to the prisoner sleeping there, nor did he kn ow th a t h e had eve r b een t h ere. He said also olt since the death Of the deceased he had made a most minute search over 1 0 ,s house i and although he had found two clean shirts of the prisoner's he could not discover any shirt that had been won,. This fact was elicited in consequence of its being shorn by other testimony that on the S a t ur d ay n i ght the prisoner had on a shirt 'which he had worn during the week, that on the Sunday after wards the shirt which he wore was clean. In addition to this circumstance it was also ";;own that at the period of the en tran7e of Mr. Lovett. the surgeon, to the house, a strong smell of burning linen ras perceptible, and that afterwards a quan tity of tinder \vas found in the grate ofthe back kitchen. The tnisoner was fully connnitted to take his trial, and the witr:esses were bound over to prosecute. QUEEN-SQUARE. It will be recollected that in June last a lad named Henry Matthew tlleeds, aged seventeen years, ur!tle*. went several ex aminations at this office, upon suspicion of mischievously set ting fire to the hou3e of Mr. George t2rooks, grocer, No. 42, Lambeth -walk. The boy Meeds '.,ad been an apprentice to Mr. Crooks. It appeared that the boy had been for some time suspected by his master of rj'obery, from the fact of his having purchased a gold watch and a quantity of jewellery, and also from his haying in ',is possession upwards of 151. in money. Upon the examination at this office the evidence appeared to inculpato.thpinaster equally as much as his apprentice, but the latter 'was ultimately committed to Newgate for trial. He was subsequently tried at the Old Bailey, but acquitted, and the JUdge, as well as the Counsel, passed some very scvere animadversions upon Mr. Crooks. Yesterday Mr. Crooks attended before Messrs. Greg.orie and Burrell, and handed to them a written statement under the signature of Mr. Henry Lawson, the guardian appointed under the will of the boy's father, and Mr. John Wicting ton, ono cf the trustees of Eaton School, from which place the boy had been bound. It was to the following effect We, the undersigned, Henry Lawson and John Wiggington, cer tify that Henry Matthew . Meeds, lately an apprentice of Mr. George 'Crooks, of Lambeth-walk, grocer, appeared before us, accompanied by his master, and, being requested to ac count as to how he became possessed of a, large sum of mo ney he had in his possession a short time previously to the fire on Mr. Crooks' premises, on the 19th day of June last, he at first stated that he had obtained it honestly, but afterwards admitted, in our presence, that it had been stolen by him from his master at various times.

Mr. JEREMY—You had no right to go to this young man and behave with the violence which has been described. Defendant—Where was I to go if I did not go to the man who is the father of my child ? was I to take it to a stranger, and ask for that- which the complainant was bound in justice to do towards the support of his own offspring? Mr. JEREMY said the defendant did not seern4 be aware that she had done wrong, and that she must find 16,141,- unless she was willing to give the young man an assuranWthat she would not molest him. The defendant inquired whether the magistrate could not order the complainant to help to support the child. lie held a very good situation, and had the means, whilst she was com pelled to work hard for 71. a year; but she was willing to do all she could so as he gave something also. As the defendant did not exhibit an inclination to. make a promise not to molest the complainant in future relative to his contributing to support the child, the magistrate said that he should make her find bail for the purpose, and she was there fore taken from the bar, crying piteously, and locked up at the rear of the office.

Yesterday Charles Young, a man in the garb of a brewer's drayman, who is better known to the police by the name of Upright Charley, was brought before Mr. BaLLANTINE, charged with having, in conjunction with several others, stolen a horse and cart, and 15 casks of Mecklenburg butter, the pro perty of Mr. Thomson Webb, a cheesemonger and butter merchant, of Tottenham-court-road. Several of the prisoner's associates in the Crime have been convicted and, sentenced to transportation for life at the last Old Bailey Sessions, and the Recorder, when the last one was convicted, desired the police to use every exertion to apprehend " Upright Charley," who was well known as the captain of a gang of thieves. He dis appeared from his usual haunts, the neighbourhood of gate and Thames-street, after the robbery, and was not teen again until Tuesday week, when Daniel Mealey and a ser geant of the City Corporation police met with him, and took him into custody. On his way to the office he met with an old companion, near the London Docks, and said, " Good by— my doom is fixed—l am off from this country." He burst into tears, and seemed much affected. The principal evidence against the prisoner was that of a woman named Margaret Gregory. Mr. BALLANTINI committed him to Newgate for trial. The apprehension of " Upright Charley," and the convic tion of the ether parties connected with the butter robbery, has broken up a daring gang of thieves, who have committed several extensive robberies. The same gang stole a horse and waggon, containing two hogsheads of brandy, in Southwark, a short time before the butter was stolen. PARIS POLICE.. The following judicial scene, extracted from the Gazelle des Tribunaux, suggests painful reflections as to the organisa tion of society : The President (to the prisoner)--Do you admit that you stale the boots ? Martini (the accused)—Yes, and the shoes also. President—lndeed ! you stole also shoes ? Martini—Yes, Sir ; and the buskins also. President—What, buskins too but this is too bad. Martini—Yes, Sir; and a pair of slippers. President—The Court is obliged to you for your candid ad missions, but is somewhat astonished at the multiplicity of the articles abstracted. Surely you could not expect to escape detection. Martini.— Certainly not. It was because I was afraid that I should not he taken up that I stole so much ; if I had not been scared ! should have robbed the whole place. President—But what was your motive in acting thus ? Martini—Ah, Sir, the dictates of nature ! I had eaten nothing for two days, and I wished to belput in prison, where could at least find food and lodging. President —Ha ve you been tried before for any - offence ? The King's Advocate—There is no previous conviction on iocord against the prisoner. Martini—l have never before committed a dishonest act : I am fifty years of age, and have never quitted Paris; hunger alone prompted me to do wrong. The sentence of the Court was fifteen days' imprisonment. Martini appeared astonished and disappointed ; raising hi s hands supplicatingly to the bench, be exclaimed, " Ah, ge. s .., tlemen, fifteen days I it is too little, for the time will soon pass_ Whilst you were about it you might as well have confined me for the remainder of my wretched existence."
