present day to denominate the accomplishment of any thing uiusal " a great faet."—(Cheers.) The existence of the Anti-Corn-law League was called a great fact, and what had been accomplished that day had clearly proved the broad gauge to be a great fact, and the Great Western engine a great fact also.—(Cheers.) That engine bad drawn a train of fourteen carriages, 110 tons in weight, a distance of nearly 120 miles in two hours and twenty minutes, being at a speed of nearly 70 miles an hour ; such travelling, and with such weight, he thought all would admit was another great fact ; and the ease, comfort, and sense of safety they had all experienced was not only a great, but a comfortable fact.—(Cheers and laughter.) What they had accomplished that day was the practical 'answer which the Great Western Company gave to all the assertions that had been made against the broad gauge, and the various arguments by which attempts had been made to mystify and to falsify the statements of those who were its supporters.—(Cheers.) What they had accomplished that day was the answer he gave to the Report of the Commission on the Broad and Narrow Gauge —a report which her Majesty's Government, he was happy to say, speaking through their enlightened president of the Board of Trale had not thought fit to adopt.—(Cheers.) That Noble Lord notwithstanding the report of the commission, had thought fit to say, that the power of enterprise should not be limited within four feet eight inches.—(Great cheering.) Whattthiet Great Western Company had done that day all present d se the had experienced; what they had still to do they h public would learn. Owing to an accident that had a ' cc curred—the breaking of one of the pumps pstheorhitghhe engine near Slough—they had not attained rate of speed they had intended,. butlayalr the public only and he had no give them a fair field • and fair ultimately l triumph.— (Greatdoubt the broad gauge would sa • leave it to itself, and cheering.) n e would it would break down all the prejudices that had been at tempted to be raised against it.—(Cheers) It would be extended in this and every other country, and would give to all the great advantage of (pick and secure travelling—(Cheers) —an ultimatum so greatly to be de sired, and so essentially necessary for a mighty com mercial country like Great Britain.—(Cheers.) The Hon. Chairman concluded by proposing " Success to the Broad Gauge," which was drunk amidst the most enthusiastic plaudits, Captain CLAXTON proposed the health of Mr. Brunel, the engineer of the company, which was dlunk most enthusiastically. Mr. BRUNEL returned thanks. The CHAIRMAN then informed the company that the train would start for London at a quarter before four o'clock. Captain CLAXTO/1 said, before they parted, they ought o drink the health of the Chairman and the Dia ecters. --(Cheers.) They had done much- fin. the interest of the Company, and their exertions on an occasion like the present, ought to be duly appreciated —(Cheers.) He would, therefore, propose the health of the Chair man and Directors.—(Cheers.) Lord A. Clitracium, made a few observations on this proposition, which were not heard in the part of the room in which we had taken our seat. _ The toast was most enthusiastically drunk. The CHAIRMAN returned thanks. The desire of him self, and all those who acted with him was to promote by every means in their power the convenience of the nublic, and the interest of their proprietors, and he believed all would admit that ,they had succeeded in doing so.—(Cheers.) In stating this he sho u ld be a c t in g most unjustly, if be did tact admit that the success of the directors and hrinself was mainly to be attributed to the exertions of those with whom they were joined in the more practical parts of their great undertaking.— (Cheers.) Brunel and Charles Saunders—(Cheers)--- were men to whom the Great Western Company were indebted to an amount which they could never pay.— (Cheers.) Nor should he forget the name of Gooch, under whose superintendence and skill that monster machine, that had that day brought them to Bristol, was constructed.— (Cheers.) With such men associated with them, the directors would accomplish far more for the convenience of the public than they had hitherto done, and what they had already performed he thought all would admit was something.—(Cheers.) Captain CLAXTON then proposed the health of Charles Saunders, Esq., the Secretary, which was drunk amid great cheering. The company then broke up, and the work commenced of endeavouring to find the different carriages in which parties had performed the down journey. This was at tended with some little trouble, and, in some cases amid much laughter, the whole train having been reversed for the up journey . All confusion was, however, soon got over, and the ladies who bad honoured the directors with their company having been safely ensconed in their res pective carriages, the train started for London at two mi nutes past four o'clock. The highest speed attained on the return ,journey was about 64i- miles an hour and it was half-past six o'clock before the train arrived at the Paddington terminus. Thus a journey of nearly 1240 miles was accomplished in less than five hours, and in this short space of time we passed twice the peaceful cemetery of Kensal-green ; Wormwood Scrubs, alike famous for its being the arena for the display of the household troops of cavalry, and the favourite spot chosen by duellists ; the head-quarters of the Earls of Essex and Warwick prior to the battle of Brentford ; the Priory of Berrymead, bait ly the residence of Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton, but now of the Sisterhood of Le :s.: e acre Coeur de Jesus ; the Abbey of Twyford, which owes its otigin to the late John Willan, the opulent stage-coach proprietor, alto, selecting this spot for a re sidence, little imagined that it would behold his favour ite and productive mode of travelling totally superseded; the Hanwell Asylum, generously devoted by the libera lity of Englishmen to the reception of the indigent in sane ; the village of Iver, which alike to the artist, the antiquary, and the angler, is replete with ob jects of interest and attraction ; the proud Castle of Windsor, the seat of royalty from its foundation by the Conqueror; Eton College, famous alike for the misforttne 0" the monarch that founded it, the learned men that received their education there, and its Eton Montem ; Runnemyde, where the Barons extorted Magna Charta from King John ; the seat of the descendant of the founder of Pennsylvania ; the church which suggested to Gray his Elegy on a Country Church Yard ; the village of Bray, famous for its vacillating vicar ; the remains of the once famous abbey Of Reading, founded by Henry the Ist, and con secrated by the haughty prelate, Thomas A'Beckett ; Chosley, rendered memorable for a monastery founded by Ethelred, in atonement for the murder of his brother, King Edward the Martyr ; \Vantage, the birth place of Alfred the Great ; the Box Tunnel, one of the most stupendous works of modern times ; Bath, one so renowned in the world of fashionable invalids; but since the days of Beau Nash terribly degenerated, and Bristol, the Omega and Alpha of our journey, the " Metropolis of the West" and the " City of Merchant Princes." Accomp a nying the excursion were a number of scientific gentlemen and others conversant with rail way matters, who were unanimously of opinion that the engine had done all that was expected of it, and that nothing like its performance had as yet been paralleled on the narrow gauge. It w as s t ate d t h at, f or a new engine, the performance was marvellous, and that when it had been at work for about a month, its speed would be ccnsiderably improved. Though this trip will nut fully settle the " Battle of the Gauges," still it will do much towards convincing the public that a higher degree of speed in connexion with heavy loads, and com bined with perfect safety, has been obtained by the broad gauge company than has as yet been displayed by the narrow gauge supporters. We trust that the time is not far distant when the directors will take another trip, in order, if possible, to settle finally the question so much of late agitated between the broad and narrow gauges. The public are entitled to this, and will doubt less look for it ; but when we say this we feel bound to admit that the public are greatly indebted to the directors of this company for what they have already done. Among those who attended the excursion we noticed Colonel Pasley, Lord Alfred Churchill, Mr. Brunel, Stephenson, Mr. Samuda, Charles Russell, Esq., li- P. , Charles Saunders, Esq., Captain Claxton, and several persons of rank and distinction.

FATAL ACCIDENT FROM BATHlNG.—Yesterday morn ing, about half-past seven o'clock, a young man, about twenty-five years of age, named Mackenzie, a conipositor on a newspaper in the vicinity, was bathing from Messrs. Barrauds and Welch's wharf; at the bottom of Bouverie-street, Fleet-street ; when half across the i river. over which he was attempting to swim, he suddenly sank, as it is supposed, from cramp. His body was Ibund on the beach at the recession ,if the tide, about nine o'clock, and taken in a shell to the adiacent yard of Mr. Egerton, where it awaits a coroner's in quest. This is the sixth fatal accident by drowning which has oc curred in this immediate locality within the past week. We deeply regret to learn that the Hon.

The anxiously expected decision in the case of IVALSTAB C. SPOTTISWOODE, has at lengeth been attained. The Court of Exchequer, on Friday, pro nounced their unanimous judgment through the Lord Chief Baron, and that judgment and the rea sons therefore are perfectly decisive, as to the hitherto vexata questio, the liability of the allottees of shares to contribute to the expenses of the abortive railway schemes. It will be seen that it fully bears out the anticipations that we have from time put forward with respect thereto, although no decision has yet been given in the other important case of WTOOLMER v. TOBY. The judgment of the Court of Exchequer is perfectly decisive as to that case also, and the several provisional committeemen must now prepare themselves to bear the entire ex- penses of the abandoned undertakings, to withdraw from the numerous actions so rashly insti tuted, paying to the defendants the costs thereof, and to make arrangements for the re turn of the full amount of the deposits to such of the allottees as had, in pursuance of the demands made on them, paid the same without drawback or deduction of any kind. Few will be disposed to pity those who authorised the commencement of actions with the hope of extorting from the fears of the par ties interested that which they could not obtain from their justice. They did not do so without having been clearly and explicitly warned as to the probable consequences to themselves likely to result from such a reckless course. On Friday, March the 20th, the verdict at Exeter was delivered, in the case of WooLmER v. TOBY. The following Monday we stated in The Sun the difficulties that existed ; and that we could not believe that the verdict could be allowed to stand. Nothwithstanding that caution not a day was lost by the acting managers in availing themselves of the apparent sanction afforded to their claims, and letters innume rable were forwarded to the several allottees, calling their attention to that case, which they said settled the question of their liability, and threatening im mediate proceedings for the full amount of the de posit unless a certain specified sum (and generally ss. additional for the cost of the letter of application) should be paid within a short time. On the 28th March The Sun contained an article clearly showing that no decision whatever had been given, that the important points imk)lved in that case had been merely placed in train for an argument before the full Court, that it might receive the calm and de liberate consideration so essentially necessary to a sound conclusion, and we also pointed out the reason why judgment was nominally entered for the plain tiffs on the occasion, viz., that no injury could , be thereby occasioned to any per son if the plaintiffs were wrong, whereas great hardship would be inflicted on them if right in their demand, and that the points had been ruled at Nisi Prius in favour of the defendant. We also showed why the allottees should not be held responsible for any portion of the preliminary expenses, if the un dertaking were not proceeded with, and stated the broad principle, " that where persons set a scheme on foot, and assume to be the managers of it, all the expenses incurred before the scheme is in actual operation must be sustained by them, if that scheme should afterwards be abandoned." It will be seen that the Lord Chef Baron in his judgment, quoted and approved of that principle, and founded an important part of his judgment thereon. We afterwards repeatedly urged the same subject, and called upon the directors and managers, who were [ending their names to the commencement of litiga tion, by which their expenses and liabilities must be fearfully increased, to pause ere they plunged into such a difficult and doubtful course, and at least to await the final result of either of the two great cases. But in vain—" Quod Deus vat perdere, priusquamdementat"—hundreds o actions were actually commenced ; too many, terrified at the effect which such proceedings might have on their future prospects, were induced to effect cam promises, and to pay large sums in order to escape from further annoyance; but a vast number, we have been assured, were through our state ments led to resist the unfounded demands, and have thus saved their property. The unseemly haste with which the proceedings were insti tuted, the urgency of the demands, and the threats with which they were attempted to be enforced, were in themselves sufficient t 8 satisfy any one of ordinary sense, that the parties were themselves con scious of the we akness of their cause. The judg ment of the Court establishes that there was no part nership existing, inasmuch as the prospectus having held out that there were to be a certain number of shares, and a certain deposit on each ; a smaller number only had been paid upon, and on the authority of PITCHFORD V. DAVIS, where it was held that a party could not be considered liable as a partner unless he knew and sanctioned the deviation from the terms of the prospectus, and of NOKKELLS v. CROSBY, already mentioned, no part nership could be said to exist between the parties. The Court also laid down the important rule, " that an allotment of shares in an abortive scheme is not a compliance with t application, which must be taken, of course, to have been for shares in a bond fide railway ; they then stated that there could be no pretence at all to retain any portion of that part of the deposit which was intended to meet the standing orders of Parliament, the ten per cent. on the amount of the shares, And they also stated that the 2s. 6d. per share, which was apparently demanded for the preliminary expenses, must be returned in full. Nothing can be clearer or more decisive on the entire point. We verily believe that there is not a single case of claim against an allottee that will not be governed thereby. _We may now congratulate the person threatened with proceedings on a satisfactory ter mination being put thereto, and on his mind being relieved from the feverish anxiety he endured while t t h h e e l t a a w ki :v g ay as aw inan unsettled and doubtful state ; an d we do think that nothing more beneficial cou ld h ave happened to the provisi ona l comm itt eeman hi mse lf than the fallacious and unwarranted hopes by which he has hitherto been sustained, the enabling him to view his real position in all its stern realities, that he may thus be induced no longer to procras tinate, but to take such steps as may be sufficient to extricate himself from his unpleasant position. The certainty of any loss, however great it may be, if within his means, will be far better than the hope deferred, w hich sickens the heart ; the habits of idle ness, or perhaps worse, which he may acquire during an absence on the Continent, and the destruction of his professional sio by the business, which m us t necessarily be occasioned le want of a ma s t er ' s eye and a master's superintendence. Haying considered the precarious position of po litical parties just at the present juncture of the session, it is scarcely possible to resist the inclination to tarry for a moment upon one of the most remark able personalities with which Parliamentary discussion was perhaps ever interrupted ; a nd we are the more impelled to this course from the manner in which those personalities were met on Friday evening by the Prime Minister. It would be nothing less than impertinence to recapitulate the assertions of the as sailant, Lord GEORGE BENTINCE, inannuch as those assertions have already attracted so universal a no tice, but especially inasmuch as they have been so wholly and triumphantly disproved by the illustrious man whose character they were evidently intended to blacken. We do not, indeed, ambition to be regarded as the panegyrists of Sir ROBERT PEEL—as far as he is entitled to pa negyric, his own political acts form his noblest eulogium. Neither do we aspire to the office of becoming the excusers of any statesman ; but, as honourable journalists and as conscientious commen tators upon the great internal and international movements of the age, it becomes our bounden duty to narrate facts in their original nakedness, and to point out the most rational inferences which a consideration of those facts evolve. When, there fore, we recognise the general jeopardy in which legislative matters are placed, and placed principally by the contemptible squabbles of party ; when we perceive justice, and national benevolence, and mercy travestied, by being employed as masks, for the con cealment and for the realization of a petty revenge ; when we behold the amalgamation of individuals in one unique corps whose sympathies have in reality not the feeblest affinity for each other ; when we see the dig nity of the Senate compromised by recriminations, and the time of the public frittered away in the ut terance of personalities —som e direct allusion to these circumstances becomes to us absolutely requisite, Such an allusion, moreover, is not of a barren and un - profitable character, as, from comparing the tone and the arguments of the different speakers upon these occasions, we may readily penetrate the motives which actuate the aggressors, and the integrity to which the aggressed can lay any just claim. Sir ROBERT PEEL'S rebuttal of the charges cast upon him by the Noble Lord the Member for Lynn is the more particularly significant from the fact of its being altogether decisive upon the many malig nant and graceless attacks which have been showered upon the Premier throughout the pending session. That the Prime Minister hunted Mr. CANNING to death scarcely required that elaboration of statement in which the former indulged to disprove ; the memorials of history had already settled that interesting episode in modern statesmanship to the satisfaction of every calm and reflective mind. Any reference to that portion of the Premier's defence would therefore be literally super fluous. It is in what is indicated by the subjoined paragraph, however, that our chief attention was occupied immediately upon its utterance. " I cannot understand," said Sir ROBERT PEEL, in conclusion, " I cannot understand how the Noble Lord—believing that I had chased and hunted his noble relative to death, and without making any public or private intimation to me of those feelings—consented to accept me, nevertheless, as a Leader, and to call me his Right Hon. Friend !" • Thereis something withering in the sarcasm of that sentence—it is opening a window in the bosom of his accuser, such as the ancient philosopher once yearned for. Through the candour, the delicacy, and the simplicity of those unostentatious words the whole flimsiness of the imputation is divulged. One perceives that the origin of the accusation was something totally distinct from that of mere re verence for a departed relative, otherwise so many years would not have elapsed before that accusation was pronounced ; otherwise, the Noble Member for Lynn could scarcely have numbered himself during so many years among the political adherents of the man who had " hunted that same relative to death ;" otherwise he could never have called that man, however otherwise illustrious, his Right Honourable Friend. And all these things could never have been accomplished without the entire abne gation of self—a supposition which Lord G. BENTINCE with great reason would be the very first to repudiate. The aspersion must consequently have originated from some pressing and exciting senti ment of the moment, in the flush and unpremedita tion of which it must have been pronounced. From these reflections it becomes manifest, that however emphatic may be the declaratiOns of politicians gifted with extreme excitability of temperament, a fair allowance must be made for the dimming haze of passion, that allowance must be subtracted, and the I remainder placed only to the account of reality. Again, if so much must be conceded upon the matter of Mr. CANNING'S demise, may not just so much he conceded upon the matter of coercive measures towards Ireland? May not this antagonism to the Ministerial policy be just as attributable to some mo mentary impulse of feeling rather than to any deep-rooted anxiety for the lenient legisla tion of the inhabitants of that island—the more so as upon the first reading of the Curfew Bill during this identical session many of its present fiercest op ponents were numbered amongst its supporters ? There was then a glimmer—a chance—a possibility of throwing out the obnoxiou s commerc i a l measures : that possibility no longer exists, and on that account they may not unreasonably be charged with having fastened upon the Irish Bill as the readiest means of revenging themselves on the Ministry. Were we not justified in calling their behaviour a ruse A Berlin letter, in the Cologne Gazette, states in positive terms that the independence of Cracow is to be annihilated, even in name. The town is to be incor porated with Austria, but the other conditions agreed upon between the three Powers are not yet known. The writer adds—" It is incontestable that Prussia enters into the views of the two other Powers with great re gret ; but, to induce her to concur, they cited a secret article in the Convention of Munchengratz, whereby Prussia, Austria, and Russia agreed to destroy the independence of this small state, if it continued to form the focus of Polish propagandism." The Augsburg Gazette states that the Government of Russian Poland has, in consequence of the recent insurrection, sent out of that country all the Prussian artisans and journeymen, even those who had regular passports. - The prosecution commenced against the Com mandant of Ham and two of the gate-keepers, in con sequence of the escape of Prince Louis NAPOLEON, has been discontinued, and the only person to be brought to trial is Dr. CONNEAU. He will be tried by the Court of Assize of Amiens. The Commerce says, General MoisTnoLoN has just been pardoned, notwithstanding what the journals say to the contrary. He was to be set at liberty on Thursday night. The Akbar, of Algiers, of the 7th, informs us that the Governor- General left that place on the preceding day for Oran, in the Cameleon steamer. The Duke D'AUMALE left on the sth, for Tenez, in his way to France, in the Titan. The Past Ampt Gazette of Frankfort has a letter of the 31st ult. from Cracow, stating that M. KYBALSKI had been attacked and robbed on the high road in Galicia, and left with his arms and legs broken with flails; that near Bochnea three landowners have been murdered by the peasants; and that, near Turnou, the wife of another land-owner was murdered as she was returning from Cracow, where her husband had died in prison. Prince WALDEMAR of Prussia, who was present at the Seikh war, arrived, with his suite, on the 4th instant, at Trieste. He was to proceed immediately ;o Berlin. Madrid papers of the 7th and Bth instant have been received. The news of the POPE'S death had created a great sensation in Madrid, as it would affect mate rially the negotiations now going on with the Court of Rome. Accounts from Portugal to the 3d state that the PALMELLA. Cabinet had issued an annesty to political offenders, a decree for organising the National Guard, and an other for the dissolution of the Council of State. The PALIeELLA Ministry was gradually ac quiring the confidence of the people. MADRID BoLsa, JUNE B.—The official bulletin quotes neither the Three nor Five per Cents. Ex change on London, 37. We have received the Paris papers of Friday and Saturday. On Thursday, the Dijon and Mulhausen Railway Bill was passed in the Chamber of Peers ; and in the Chamber of Deputies all the articles of the budget of Algeria were voted; and on Friday the project of law itself, relative to the extraordinary credits for Algeria, was adopted by a majority of 215 to 17. Lettors from Marseilles, of the 13th, state that serious troubles had occurred :at Rome; that bodies of insprgente had paraded the streets, demanding a Constitution, and crying "Down with the priests;" "No Papal Government." Collisions are stated to have taken place between the people and the troops both at Rome and at Ancona, and throilghout Italy commotions were apprehended. The Duke DE FITZJAMES died at Pl.:is on Thurs day. The preparations for opening the Great Northern Railway from Paris to Lisle, on Sunday, are repre sented by these papers as being on the most magni ficent scale. The Journal des Debats publishes the following intelligence from Lisbon, dated June 2 : " Since the last collision between the garrison and popu lation of Lisbon, public tranquillity had not been disturbed.. The provincial insurgents, who had marched upon Lisbon, appeared disposed to retrace their steps and return to their homes. Several measures had been agreed upon in the Council of Ministers, presided over by the Queen. A general and entire amnesty heel been granted to all the insurgents of Torres Novas who had risen in 1842 against the Costa Cabral Ministry, after the re-establishment of the charter of Don Pedro. They had been reinstated in their property and offices, the •-ecree authorising the Government to re move from their residence the public functionaries whose opposition it apprehended had been revoked. This decree had excited a great animosity throughout the country against the Costa Cabral Ministry. The law on the Council of State, which converted that body into an administrative council, had been suspended until the decision of the new Cortes. Several juntas had sent in their adhesion to the new Cabinet, which, having confirmed in their offices most of the civil governors appointed by the insurgents, had em powered them to dissolve the Administrative, Council in the provinces, and to replace them by temporary commissioners until others be chosen by the electors. M. da Silva Passos, former Minister of Finance, and a very popular man among the insurgents, had been invested with the command of the strong place of Santarem. The Colonel of the Municipal Guard of Lisbon has been superseded in his post, as well as several other officers and functionaries known for their de votion to the Costa Cabral Administration. All the mea sures of the new Government appeared to have given satis faction to public opinion, and considerably allayed the popular effervescence. Nevertheless, the insurgents continue to de mand the re-organisation of the National Guard, which the Ministry was well disposed to accord. It was then actually occupied in revising the existing law, which had occasioned many abuses. The financial crisis continued, money was exceedingly scarce, and the Ministry will only find re sources when the Cortes have met. It had authorised the company called Confianca National, as well as the bank, to suspend payments during three months. That company had been instituted for the purpose of bidding for the Govern ment loans." The Constitistionnel gives the following relative to the mission confided to Mr. HOOD at La Plata : " Mr. Hood has received from the French and English Governments a special mission and full powers to arrange the affairs of La Plata. At_first M. Guizot refused to con sent to the power demanded for Mr. Hood, but after a long correspondence he at last yielded. From the plan adopted it is much to be feared that the only persons who will derive any profit from this mission will be Rosas, Oribe, and Mr. Hood himself. Mr, Hood remained at Monte Video, first as Consul of England, and afterwards as Consul-General. He was obliged to withdraw immediately after the treaty of October 29, 1840. He went to England, where he did not cease intriguing for six years in favour of his protegte. His incessant endeavours in favour of a man who has become the right arm of Rosas, and like him sullied with crimes and blood, ought to have opened the eyes of the Cabinet of St. James's. Let any one who can explain the sympathy of M. Guizot for this bitter enemy of our country. Will M. Guizot deny the facts imputed to Mr. Hood ? If necessary, all the city of Monte Video cov Id bear witness to them. M. de Ma reuil, whose conduct we have pointed out, has received orders to proceed to Buenos Ayres to assist Mr. I food. It is even said, that the two Governments have authorised Mr. Hood, if necessary, for the accomplishment of his mission, to disavow the acts of their present agents, particularly in what concerns the navigation of the Parana," The Three per Cents. closed on the Paris Bourse on Saturday at 83f. sc. ; the Five per Cents., at 120 f. 25c. ; the Orleans Railroad shares, 1,248 f. 75c.; Rotten, 1,016 f. 25c. ; Havre,743f.; Great Northern, 73f. 50c. ; Avignon, 877 f. 50c. ; Vierzon, 622 f. 50c. ; Bordeaux, GOof. ; Boulogne, 4851. ; Paris and Strasburg, 503 f. 75c. ; Tours and Nantes, 516 f, 25c ; Paris and Lyons, 5401. ; Lyons and Avignon Deflnitive, 5151. ; Bordeaux ant Cette Dennitives, 509 f. 15c. ; Spanish Actives, 31 ; Spanish Three per Cents. 37%f.

This is a case arising out of the occupation of a common in Shropshire, entitled Nudge Heath, in the parish of Pat tingham, held by the defendant. An action was brought by the plaintiff to deprive the dpfandant of possession, and the case was tried at the last Shrewsbury Assizes, before Mr. Baron Parke, when a verdict was given to the defendant. On a previous day Mr. Sergeant Talfourd obtained a rule to show cause why the verdict should not be seti aside on the ground of misdirection, and the case was argued this morning at some length. _ _ The Court decided against the rule and in favour of the direction of the Judge. The rule was accordingly dis charged, (Sidings in Nisi Prius, before Mr. Justice WIGNITINIAN and a Common Jury.) QULNNEY v. ILEY AND OTHERS. The Court was occupied the greater part of this morning with this case, which was an action to recover damages for false imprisonment. The plaintiff, on the charge of stealing grasa, had been committed to custody, but was subsequently discharged, no grounds for proceeding against him being dis covered ; in consequence ne brought the present action to recover damages. The jury after a short consultation gave a verdict for 40s. BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Commissioner SHEPHERD.) 1N RE WALLER AND WALLER. IMPORTANT QUESTION OF PARTNERSHIP AND BREACH OF Tausr.--These bankrupts, who had carried on business as grocers at Ipswich, came up to pass their last examination, and the same time was appointed for declaring a dividend. 'I he last examination had been adjourned sine die in con sequence of the accounts not having been filed, which was at the time shown to be in consequence of the poverty of the bankrupts, and there being no assets in hand out of which they could have an allowance ; a suns of 700/. having been recovered, the bankrupts were allowed to come up at the expense of the estate; but were still unprepared to pass their last examination, as they had not the means of paying the accountant to file the balance sheet. A further adjournment of the examination and dividend was, therefore, prayed for, as it was contended that the balance-sheet might show a very material difference in the assets to be distributed under the joint estate. From the facts stated during a -long argument, it ap peared that the business had originally been carried on by Thomas Butterman Waller, who, however, sent letters to some of his creditors, stating that he had taken his brother Thomas into partnership. Yet nevertheless Thomas made an assignment of the property as his own, for the benefit of his creditors, to Messrs. Alexander, of Ipswich, and they realised the property. An action, however, was brought, in which the issue of partnership was raised, and the verdict established the partnt rship. Messrs. Alexander then paid over the 700/. they had received, and the separate creditors now sought to prove under the joint estate. Mr. Lawrence appeared to support their interests. Mr. RUSSELL, the solicitor to the fiat, said Thomas Waller had dealt with the property as his own, the assignment was duly attested and advertised, and by the lapse of time, six months, afterwards became a valid assignment; if therefore Messrs. Alexander had handed over to the assignees that which belonged to the separate estate of Thomas Waller, they were liable to the separate creditors for breach of trust, and moreover that the creditors never trusted or had a claim against the joint estate, but it was a great question whether they could come in and prove under the joint estate. He was engaged for the fiat, but wished to see everything cleared up, and no opposition would be made by him to any course the Court felt disposed to sanction. Mr. LAWREN6E said this Court could not try the question of partnership although it could direct an issue ; the cre ditors generally had no idea that a partnership was in exist ence ; surely, however, taking it there had been one, the per sons giving credit to the partners under the presumption that it was to the individual, had a right to come in and prove under the facts existing. The Learned COMMISSIONER said that he should adjourn the examination and dividend for a month, to ascertain whether there was any separate estate, which appeared to him to be the question, as in fact the partnership had been made out on the issue tried. CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. These sessions, the eighth during the present Mayoralty, were opened this morning before the Recorder, and Alder men Gibbs, Musgrove, Sir Chapman M ars h a ll , & c. I ' he total number of persons committed to take their trial is 180— for murder, 1 ; manslaughter, 2; rape, 1 ; cutting and wounding, 7; misdemeanour, 4; larceny, 119; robbery, 2; forgery, 7. The prisoners committed in London are 21, Middlesex, 118 ; Essex, 2 ; Kent, 9 ; Surrey, 30. The grand jury having been sworn in, The REcoitnErt proceeded to charge them in the following words :—Gentlemen of the grand jury,the number ofprisoners committed to take their trial appears by the calendar to be 180, and that number will probably be augmented during one charge of murder : in ordinary circumstancesl should have felt it my duty to enter somewhat into the features and the progress of your labours here. The calendar contains a,e feel it is of such a de positions made in that case, I think you will that you will nature and the details so plainly laid down, liaritise of that charge before yon ; but on looking f further think it your duty to put it into the coursecutting and wounding inves tigation. There are , seven ofcasess ang has formerly d endanger life; and I cannot but with instruments that would en I have been called on to make repeat the observations that of the knife and of sharp instru ments, frequently, that theuse . _ life, is a crime unfortunately on ments, to the endangering f particulars show that intemperate and the the increase, have been generally connected with charges of larceny, habits and public-houses nout o t f h w is hat tations of the dispositionto crime. Whether into t hPe thes3 m a rite are many • e h as been visited have created the opinion Itoebeentdone in this Court, whether the sentences with which this crime of impunity, I know not ; but it is unhappily on the increase. There and larceny in the case of servants, and offences that relate to coining; in all these the depositions set forth matters of h this s frequencyhasaris fact, but not anything on which you require any direction. In any matters, however, in which you think questions of law arise you may always consult the Court, and you have besides the advantage of an able officer of the Court, to whom you may apply in cases of difficulty. In the Court of Queen's Bench the chief clerk of the Queen's Bench officer has been resorted to When eccaeion seemed t 9 demand it, tr le grand ,Y th, juries assembled there, and though that practice has existed for years with the knowledge of the Court, it has been al lowed to continue without observation. The grand jury, then, assembling here may have the aid of the Court, if they should deem that necessary. There are two charges of man slaughter and two of robbery. One of the cases of manslaughter comes before the Court from the coroner's inquest. The death on which this charge is founded occurred beyond the" jurisdiction of the Court, but the Act 6 an d 7 o f Victoria c. 12, " for the more convenient holding of coroner's in quests,"gives the coroner within whose jurisdiction the body is lying authority to hold the inquest. (Here the Learned Recorder read the words of the section and proceeded.) But this Act of Parliament, though it affects the jurisdiction of coroners, has no reference to grand juries to give them power to try cases which have happened beyond their juris diction. The Cunt, however, can try it on the coroner's finding, and I think the parties will not send the bill before you. I thought it proper to remark upon this case, a case in which ighorance is alleged against a person practising hydropathy, and thereby en dangering life, that you might be aware of the grounds on which the Court could dispose of a case, the depositions in which come direct from the Coroner's Court, without pre viously passing before you, Gentlemen, you are aware that it is necessary, in any presentment from the•grand jury, that not less than twelve of your number must agree in that presentment--that it must be made by not less than the ma jority of your number, for the law does not allow anybody to be put upon their trial by a less number than that which constitutes the petty jury. Whatever, in any case before you, remains unanswered or unexplained, and which would warrant further it vestigation before a pettyjury, it will be your duty to put it in the course of further investigation. On the other hand, where a case is supported only by evidence which appears to be frivolous, you will not act on such evidence, but shelter the parties from being put upon their trial. At the same time where the evidence first laid before you is not satisfactory, you will call for more, and continue to do so until you exhaust all the evidence in the case; for, as the facts are sometimes laid before magistrates, the most im portaut and decisive may not have been deposed to first, and through precipitate decision on the part of grand juries the guilty have escaped—and yet it is no release to the parties charged, for new bills are filed against them. But let me add if the evidence satisfies you in the outset, you need not go through the testimony of every witness. With these remarks. I leeve von to the discharge of your duty. You will not find it arduous, and if you require it, you will take advantage of the Court, which will render you every assistance in its power. The rest of the morning was occupied with swearing the petty juries. BRIDPORT ELECTION. (THIS DAY.) The Committee on this election met to-day at twelve o'clock, to inquire into the circumstances connected with the improper transfer of certain votes taken in the recent elec tion, and especially the vote of Mr. Win. Rockett. On the as sembling of the members the room was cleared of all parties but the Committee, and the proceedings conducted with closed doors. RAILWAY COMMITTEES (THIS I)AY). HOUSE OF LORDS. DIRECT LONDON AND PORTSMOUTH, GUILDFORD, CHICHESTER, PORTSMOUTH JIND rilianxisim. The Connnittee on these competing Bills resumed their labours at eleven o'clock this morning. They met in room B (New House of Parliament). Lord Beaumont took the chair, and all the members were present. Mr: TALBOT, on the part of the =RICCI LONDON AND PORMSMOUTEr, proceeded to call Mr. W. Cubitt, jun., the engineer to the line (con jointly with his father), who gave the usual engineering evidence. In cross-examination by Mr. MEAEWETHEa on the part of the Guild ford and Chichester Company, he said that it was proposed in the first instance to work the line by locomotive power, but If the experiments now going on as to the applicability of the atmospheric principle ended favourably, the atmospheric power would be adopted for the working of the line. There was a gradient of 1 In 80 for 14 miles, and another of 1 in 100 for nearly 25 miles. It would not be neces sary to have the engines constructed in a different manner from other engines. It would require the diameter of the driving wheels to be not more than 5 feet 6 inches. This would not be too small to run at the ordinary speed on the more level parts of the line, al though a greater speed would be obtained if the driving wheels were of greater diameter. HOUSE OF COMMONS. GROUP 11. CORNWALL. The Committee met at the usual hour, Viscount Morpeth, chairman. Mr. Bidder was examined this morning. His evidence was merely corroborative of the statements of Mr. Locke, with racerence to the difficult nature of the cu 7ves and gradients, and the superior advan tages afforded by the central districts of the country for the con struction of a railway. Captain Beaufort, the hydrographer of the Admiralty, considered that the bridge over the Admiralty ground should be at least 100 feet clear in the headway. GROUP XIII. This Committee: met to-day at twelve o'clock ; Sir W. Clay in the chair. AYRSHIRE AND GALLOWAY. The case of the landowner s' opposition to this line was resumed. Capt. Robinson was re-called and cross-examined at some length with the object of showing that Balcarey Bay with a moderate ex penditure might be made a good harbour cf refuge. There was no point elicited that differed materially from his examination in chief given on Friday. HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.

The Select Committee appointed to consider the merits of the Bills comprised in this group re-assembled at the usual hour this morning, Mr. Protheroe in the chair. SOUTEC-EASTERN (MUSIC/ET TO IVIA3R,GEITE BRANCEE). Mr. ALEXANDER appeared for the promoters of this line, the ob. ject of which it was stated was to shorten the distance between Can terbury and Margate. The length of the line was seven miles three furlongs. At present the inhabitants of Margate had to go round by way of Ramsgate to get to Canterbury. anti It was to avoid that detour thAt this snort oranch had been projected at the earnest re quest of the influential inhabitants of the district. There were no engineering difficulties on the line, and the actual estimate for it was 81,9621. Evidence in favour of the line having been adduced, the room wa. cleared, and the Committee having consulted together for a few minutes, strangers were re-admitted, when The CHAIRMAN announced that the Committee had come to the deci sion that the prearn6le was not proved. At the same time they were desirous of expres. ing their opinion, that it might prove a very useful line, and when the capital of the country was less restricted by railway projects than it was at present, no doubt a Committee would be justified in sanctioning such a line. novmEr. AND DEAL. The next and last Bill gone into was for making a line from Dover to Deal. Mr. AUSTIN appeared for the promoters, and stated that the line was about eight miles long and was for forming, as its title Indicated, a communication between Dover and Deal, and Dover and Canter bury. The capital of the company was proposed to be 180,000/., while the estimate was only 140,0031. GROUP XX.

He stated that the so called original deed had never been completed nor stamped. The CHAIRMAN observed, that it was not necessary to go into that inquiry now, as the Committee would hays.: the deed before them to-morrow morning. Evidence for the promoters on the traffic was then given. GROUP XXXIII. The Committee met to day at twelve o'clock, in room No. 21 (Grand Corridor) ; present, Sir Robert Ferguson (chairman), the Marquis of Worcester, Viscount Norreys, Mr. Smollett, and Mr. Fellowes.

Mr. HOPE stated the case for the promoters. The object of the Bill was to supply a transverse or east and west communication to a large and important tract of country lying between the parallel of the Great Western line on the south, and the town of Birmingham ion. on the north.

Mr. fowler, land-surveyor, Birmingham, stated that he bad in stituted a comparison between the number of works lying between Birmingham and Wolverhampton accommodated by the Shrewsbury and Birmingham and Birmingham and Wolverhampton, and he found that the number accommodated by the former was 76, that by the latter only 34, leaving a difference in favour of the former a ma jority of 42. The Shrewsbury and Birmingham had also the advan tage over its rival of running the whole length between the two towns in question, parallel, and nearly on i level with the canal, whilst the other scheme would intersect it at right angles 15 times. This company's station at Wolver hampton would be much superior to that of the Birming ham and Wolverhampton. It was nearer to the town, and easier of access. It would afford great accommodation to goods passing along the canal there. The erection of a rival company's station would cause the destruction of much valuable property, whilst it would not afford as much accommodation as that of this Company. This line would give better accommodation to Wednesbury, West Bromwich. Smethwick, and other important towns lying between Birmingham and Wolverhampton.

It appears by the accounts from Canada, that the Go vernor-General had taken the most active steps to cell out and embody the militia to its full effective force.
