A, time been applied to the infected spot—at another the lawgivers have attempted to purge away the impurity by modifying some previous enactment—and yet, in spite of all these judicious and wholesome endeavours► the evil still, tontinues unailayed. Not the most unimportant among these—because the most associated with one of our greatest privileges, and with what, as EP;gashmen, we may actually denominate one of our greatest birthrights, namely, the " Trial by Jury"—is that baneful and somewhat despotic severity which is maintained towards jurymen—even under circumstances which would decidedly justify a departure from the established regulations. Our attention has been recently directed to this particular grievance, from facts which transpired on 'Wednesday last at MuUngar, in 'West meath, upon the special commission appointed to examine a man called BRYAN SEERY on a charge of attempting the assassination of Sir F. HOPKINS. The occurrences to which we allude are merely a repetition of what has taken place a thousand and yet a thousand times befere: they must be familiar to persons who can parade only a , three y ears' ex perieece. Evt'-ry one is acquainted with some narration of a jury confined for several hours together, without the slightest nourishment, in consequence of not arriving at any unanimous decision. Many aggravating circumstances, however, connected with a similar occur-. rence at the examination in Mullingar already men tioned, render the case in question more intolerable It TA glaringly unjust than anything of the same nature within our memory. In a trial of the most vital importance—ln volving at the same moment the safety of one individual from assassination, and the guilt or innocence of another individual for a crime of the most heinous description— twelve gentlemen, two of them in a very serious stale of indisposition, are shut up in a " room, more like a dungeon than anything else," for six.and-thirty hours. Besides which hardship, be it remembered, the unfortu nate jurymen are entirely deprived, during that interval, of all food, or fire, or rest—deprivations which materially heightened the indisposition of the two gentlemen already in extremely ill-health, insomuch so that a phy sician, who was at length called in at the instance of the Chief Justice, uttered his decided opinion that "further confinement might endanger their lives." Not till this announcement were these twelve gentlemen RAILWAY LEGISLATION.

To conclude with WALTER BRAND ; or, 4. DUEL IN THE In the Remelt Chamber of Deputies the first division on the Address took place on an amendment made by M. ODILON BennoT which certainly vas very harmless of itself, but implied a censure on Ministers. It was drab n uplin these words:—" It is necessary that good faith and impartiality should preside ever all the acts of the Ad ministration, in order to restore to the public power that moral authority which should accompany it." Tl , e amendment was intended as an attack on the Cabinet for some irregular election proceedings countenanced by one of the Prefects, and the Government accepted it as such, denyieg, of course, all participation in the alleged corruption. A division took place, when there were fur the amendment 166, and against it 208, giving the Ministers a majority of 42. The only interesting feature of the dis cusrion was a brief speech from that amusing orator M. ',man Ronurr, in which he denounced, and perhaps he is not far wrong, M. TRIERS for corruption at home and abasement abroad. He is, perhaps, equally correct in his views of M. BIRROT'S reform principles. The speech is given as follows :—" M. TRIERS," said he, " called his speech a diatribe. He (M. LEDRU ROLLIN) had only given facts. If M. TRIERS' history was nothing but a diatribe, the fault was that gentle man's and not his. M. ODILON BARROT had called his observations clamours.—(Cries of Enough, enough,' from the Left.) You have spoken (continued the Hon. Deputy, addressing N. ODILON BARROT), you have spoken of reform, but where is your reform ? Where are your plans ?—(Renewed cries of Enough," Di vide.') What will your coalition produce ? What did your former one produce, unless the present Ministry ? Take care, you have already voted the Regency Bill ; 1 you have voted the fortifications you will be carried away far. I warn you of the danger; I am more yota friend than Af. TRlERS.—(Renewed marks of disappro bation.) Yes, there has been corruption at home and abasement abroad, but what else is that than the system of M. Trims? M. TRIERS, when Minister, in like manner did all he could to influence the elections—also made us follow in the wake of England.'—(Loud cries of Divide, divide,' amidst which the Hon. Deputy thought fit to descend from the tribune.") The Fresco thus characterises the discussion on electoral corrup tion :—" Although the sitting of Thursday lasted longer than any previous sitting (it ended at half-past seven o'clock), we shall only say a few Words on the subject. In our opinion, nearly the whole of the debates were wretched, puerile, and unworthy of an assembly of poli ticians and grave men. Electoral corruption was again introduced, and the Opposition indulged in innumerab'e recriminations, and adduced thousands of facts, which were instantly met with irrefutable contradictions. Many proper names and microscopic details supplied the nu merous speeches delivered on the occasion. It is not our intention to revert to the matter ; it was quite enough that it occupied during upwards of fire hours the time of one of our two legislative assemblies." The misunderstanding between the French Consul at Hayti, and the President, General PIERROT, still remains unsettled according to accounts received from Port•au. Prince, of the Bth December. The intelligence gives some additional details. On the sth Cap tain LARTIGUE, in command of the French station at that island, not being able to obtain satisfaction for the insult offered to the French Consul, took up his station with the Thetis frigate and Hussard brig at a short distance from the town, and made pre parations to open a cannonade. At the solicitation of the inhabitants he consented to suspend his fire for three days, in order to allow them time to represent the matter to President PIERROT, who was at the moment in the north of the island. He sent at the same time the Styx steamer for the Griffon, which was cruising along the coast, in order that he might have a larger force at his disposal, and have more authority to insist on a full reparation. Up to the Bth the President had refused absolutely to give any satisfaction, and M. LEvassierra, the Consul- General, deemed it necessary to send in his ultimatum-15,000 gourds of indemnity, and a salute of twenty-one guns. M. LEVASSEUR, at the same time, was preparing to take up his residence on board the Thetis. It was hoped that these demonstra tions would induQe the President to make the concessions demanded. letter Which appears in a Toulon journal, dated " Hospital of Setif, January 10," states that the losses sustained by the division under General LEVASSEInt on the 3d are estimated at 420 dead. It adds, "A barrack has been converted into a temporary hospital by order of General LEVASSEUR ; the fort of Galbois has been ap propriated to the same use, and at the moment I write twelve physicians have arrived from Constantine. It is Qxpeeted that we shall have in all eight hundred dead, easptf o in sv greaterelre,ntt letter which hr r o mw w a i os t h h one lost of fnodtffhs the persons n pa d ezra f sg e o n an t os , f o r frozen." spbepnoea.a' board athnedTpha i in the ll'ileauzra:g— , an on th e 231, and a rr i ve d i n th e roa d s of , Gibraltar on the 25th, whi c h t own we quitted the follow ing We lleft" day on board a French steamer, which brought us to Toulon. When we were on the point of sailing from Gibraltar the crew cf the Flamer saluted with three cheers the unfortunate sufferers who had received so generous and cordial an hospitality from the English flag. I here offer, in my own as well as in the names of THE SUN LONDON, MO DAY EVENING, JANUARY 26, Is 4&. all my fellow-sufferers, the expression of our profound reconnaissance towards the noble Commander, Postle, as well as to the officers and brave crew under his command. We were treated by them like hi others. The English sailors shared with ours their clothing, their beds, and victuals. As to myself, I was received into the captain's cabin, and I was on his part the object of the mo , t marked attentions. When I arrived on board I was in a megt suffering state, and for 36 hours nothing could exceed the care and attention bestowed upon me by the surgeon of the Flamer, and it is to him I owe the commencement of my return to health. I cannot terminate my letter without equally offering the testimony of our lively gratitude to wards Captain Salomon, the officers and crew of the Castor. We met with that sympathy which we ought to expect at the hands of our countrymen. "A letter from Berne announces the primitive assemblies are convoked for the Ist February, •in order to come to a de cision whether they do or do not concur in the last resolu tions of the Grand Council, on the question of a revision of the Constitution."

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool on Saturday were 4,000 bales, all to the trade. The market was steady, arid full prices were obtained. The following interesting particulars relative to cotton were received this morning from New - York : " Much of the firmness here has arisen from our small stock, and the high rates ruling at all the southern ports, and, in some measure, to the continued very unsatisfactory state of our relations with England as respects the Oregon question; some additional firmness also may be attributed to the light receipts at New Orleans, Mobile, and Apalachicola, in consequence of the lowness of the water at those ports, and to smaller estimates of the crop gaining currency there. A great disparity will be observed between our rates here, and those current at Liverpool at last dates; and also with those existing here at this date last year, which, however, proved our lowest point of the season. We then quoted `fair' Uplands, five and five-eighths to five and three-quarters; freight, three eighths of a penny; and exchange, ten to ten and a quarter. The sales for the week ending 20th instant, were 4,500 bales-s-for the week ending 27th instant, '2,500 bales—since, 860 bales. " The movement of this staple in this country, this season, compared with the previous two, have.been as annexed : • Bales. Receipts at ports of the U. S. since Sept. 1, 1845 587 370 do do yeardo lbs before do same period last year 692 287 . do Exports from U. S. since 1, 84 Sept. dore 620 019 340 256 do do same period last year 410 927 do do do year before 241 664 "It will be observed that the receipts of this season have been less than in either of the two previous seasons, while the exports have been about seventy thousand bales less than last, and one hundred thousand bales less than the previous year. The receipts at this port since the Ist instant have been 22,000 bales; exports, 10,110 bales; taken by ship ment, 14,000 bales ; taken on speculation, 1,000 bales ; stock in city, 18,300 bales ; and amount on sale, 5,000 bales. "The crop estimates have undergone some modification since the present month set in, the weather being extremely un favourable for getting the balance out of the fields. We now find but few putting the total at over 2,300,000 bales, while holders and those favouring the shortest estimate are count ing on not exceeding 2,200,000 bales. At this port the esti mates are from 450 to 500,000 bales." , The Money Market is comparatively easy this morn ing. It is known in well-informed circles that full and almost entire preparations have been made for the necessary deposit of cash with the Accountant-General for all railway projects that really are in a position to go before 'Parliament with any chance of obtaining Bills in the course of the present session. The measures to be proposed to the House of Commons to-night by Sir Robert Peel upon this topic are looked for with deep anxiety. That new arrangements for the conducting of the numerous projects to be submitted are required, is admitted upon all hands; but how this is to be done so as to consult the convenience, and we may add the health of the Members of the Legislature, is at present a secret. There has been an improvement in Consols and other public securities of very nearly one-half per eent. The premium upon Exchequer bills also looks very firm, and money is easy. For the Account Consols advanced from 94% to 95 1 / s , for immediate transfer, from 94 to 94%; the Three-and- a- Quarter per Cents. from 96% to 97; and the Reduced Three per Cents. from 94 1 4 to 95 1 4. The premium npen India Bonds has reached 28s. ; India Stock has advanced from 253 to 253. The market is altogether very buoyant. Not many bargains were made in the Foreign Stocks to day. Brazilian Bonds were quoted at 82%; Peruvian at 41 ; the Five per Cent. Portuguese at 78 ; the Deferred Spanish at 17; the Dutch Two-and.a-Half per Cents. at 60%, and the Four per Cents. Certificates at 94% 3 / 4.* The Railway Share Market is firm for all good lines, but business is not very animated.

LTONS, JAN. 21.—Paris and Rouen, 1,0255. The Paris papers of Saturday have since been re ceived. In the Chamber of Deputies another division had taken place on Friday, but the question is of little or no interest to the English reader. An attack was made by M. FEtaLLADE CHANOIN against the Keeper of the Seals, for having violated the law in regard to the Council of State, by the appointment of a greater number of officers, called Maitre des Requetes, than the law allowed. The Keeper of the Seals, in his defence, showed that lie acted from motives of kindness to individuals who, deprived of their situations, were yet held by the terms of the law to have a right of promotion according as vacan cies fell. in, and appealed to the Chamber whether, supposing, which he did net admit, that he had strained the law upon the side o f benevolence, he had not acted with perfect good faith. M. VITET, the Chairman of the Committee of Address, protested against the petty line of warfare adopted by the Opposition, but they persisted in their smendment which was, that after the words " The ac cord of the great Powers," there should be added, "the sincere execution of the laws." On a division there were for the amendment, 181 ; against it, 206 ; majority, 25 for Ministers.

The Duke of Wellington, Lord Eilenborough Sir Robert Peel, and most of the Ministers, were present' Lord Mahon has tendered his resignation of his office of Secretary to the Board of Control, but keeps it back, at Sir Robert Peel's request, till after the an nouncement of the Ministerial measures. It is ru moured that the reason why a new writ has not yet been moved for Ripon is that Lord De' Gray' support of the Ministry is not yet certain ; and the seat is not, therefore, yet at Mr. Gladstone's service. It is said that Mr. Goldsmid, of the Chancery Bar, and son of Sir Isaac Lyon Goldsmid, will offer himself for Brighton, in conjunction with Captain Pechell, at the next election. Mr. Goldsmid is a Jew, and if elected could not sit ; but the return of a Jew by a large and enlightened constituency like Brighton, could hardly fail to settle the question of `ewish emancipation.

PA, Z. MARKET NE W S.--JHIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE—MONDAY. During the week ending on Saturday evening, the arrivals of tnglish Wheat up to our market were on a very limited scale, and for the most part of middling quality. Of English Barley, the receipti Viefe adequately extensive; but the fresh supply of all other graili of home produce was unusually small. The imports of Foreign Wheat were seasonably large ; but scarcely , any supplies of other articles came to hand from either the Continent or Ireland. An extremely scanty arri val of Wheat was reported fresh-up to-day, from Eseex, Kent, and Cambridgeshire ; coastwise as well as by land-car riage, it scarcely amounting to 600 quarteis, consequently the stands were very bare of samples. Still, how ever, as the .attendance of buyers was very small, and as much uncertainty still exists as to the nature of the measures affecting the import of foreign grain into thin country to be proposed by Sir Robert Peel in the House of Commons to-morrow evening, the demand for English Wheat was ,unusually inactive, and prices remained nominally , as on this day se'nnight. Although we can make no altera tion in our general currency of Wheat, it was quite evident. that had sales been forced by the factors, rather lower rates must have been submitted to. Of free foreign Wheat the show was small, but there was tilt increased number of parcels under lock in the market. Ili any kind scarcely a transaction :took place, and the currencico must be called about stationary. The stocks in bond are now on the increase. There was a fair average quantity of Barley, both English and foreign, on show. The beg malting quali ties commanded fully last Monday's price„ but grinding and distilling sorts were a mere drug, though they cannat I,;e quoted' cheaper. At the close of business a large portion of the two latter descriptions remained unsold. Ihe supply of Malt was not large, yet fully equal to the wants of the ish buystate, ers. The trade with that article was in a very slugg at barely, but at nothing quotable beneath, preVious figures. Scarcely a single parcel of Oats having reached us from Ire land during the week the business transacted in that article was necessarily small. In fact the trade was heavy at late rates. Beans, the supply of which was rather limited, moved off heavily ; while Peas were a dull inquiry, and in some instances the turn lower. In Flour no positive altera- rties are looking forward to lion can be noticed, yet most lower prices. CURRENCY PER IM.

To--day upwards of 200 Oxen and Cows, and 400 Sheep were landed from the above port and brought forward for'sale. The num ber of foreign Beasts therefore, en offer, was 512 ; and of Sheep, 600, in, generally speaking, very middling condition, compared with the arrivals in some previous weeks. The former found buyers, at from 141 to 201; the latter 36s to 47s per head. At the outport3, very few Beasts or Sheep, owing, we presume, to the comparatively high rates ruling here—have been imported since vur last. From our own grazing districts the receipts of Beasts were on a vet) , limited scale, though of fair average quality. The large number of foreign Beasts on sale, however, had a de pressing influence upon the Beef trade, which must be con sidered heavy, at a decline in the quotations obtained on Monday last of 2d per 81bs; the highest figure for the best Scots not exceeding 4e 2d per 81bs, and a clearance wits with difficulty effected. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cam bridgeshire, we received about 500 Scots, homebreds, and short. horns ; from the northern districts, 500 short-horns ; from the western and midland counties 600 Herefords, runts, Devons, &c. ; from other parts of England, 400 of various breeds ; from Ireland 80 Beasts, and from Scotland 60 Scats—the re mainder of the Bullock supply being chiefly derived from abroad and the neighbourhood of the metropolis.. The num bers of Sheep were very small. All breeds commanded a brisk demand, at an advance in the prices of fully 2d per Blbs. There were about 300 shorn Sheep on sale. The few Lambs in the market sold readil y , at 7s per 81bs for the primest qualities. In Calves a steady business was doing, at full prices; while Pigs were quite as dear as last week.

COMMERCIAL POLICY. Sir ROLERT PEEL will positively bring forward his new COMMERCIAL POLICY to-morrow (TUESDAY EVENING), and we shall give a full Report of his Speech, in the Third Edition of The Sun, on that most important subject. On Friday the House of Commons solemnly per formed the farce of unanimously passing the fallowing resolution : Resolved,—That it is a high infringement of the liberties and privileges of the Commons of the United Kingdom, fur any Lord of Parliament, or other Peer or Prelate, not being a Peer of Ireland at the time elected, and not having declined to serve for any county, city, or borough of Great Britain, to concern himself in the election of Members to serve for the Commons in Parliament, except only any Peer of Ire- land, at such elections in Great Britain respectively, where such Peer shall appear as a candidate, or by himself, or any others, be proposed to be elected ; or for any Lord-Lieutenant or Governor of any county to avail himself of any authority derived from his commission, to influence the election of any Member to serve for the Commons in Parliament. The day before sixteen gentlemen had appeared at the table of the same House, and been inaugurated as Members, nine of whom (we believe we are even under stating the number) would never have been there to be inaugurated, but for the inter ference of Peers. The Duke of RICHMOND had sent Lord Ar.Tflua LENNOX there from Chi chester, and Lord WARWICK, Sir CHARLES DOUGLAS from Warwick; Lord BATIIURST had had something to say to Mr. CRIPPS'S re election for Warwick; Lord HorrrouN had sent Mr. BAILLIE from Linlithgowshire, and Lord HERTFORD Sir HORACE SEYMOUR from An- trim; Lord ALFRED CHURCHILL for Woodstock, Lord BROOKE for South Warwickshire, and Colonel HALL for Buckinghain,—is it not notorious as noon-day that in each case the Duke of MARLBOROUGH, Lord WARWICK, and the Duke of BUCKINGHAM, has done it all ? And Mr. HALSEY, the new Member for Hertfordshire can himself best tell to bow many Noble Lords be is indebted for the honour of his seat in Parlia ment. We undertake to say that Lord SALISBURY, Lord ESSEX, and Lord VERULAM are of the number. As Mr. WILLIAMS, the only Member who ventured to say a word against the passing of the above absurd reso lution, truly said, "In any county where there were three or four Peers possessing large estates, every one knew that they always carried the elections." And yet it is, forsooth, " a high infringement of the liberties and privileges of the Commons," for a Peer to concern him self in elections The day before, also, new writs bad been moved for Selkirkshire, Newark, Bute, East Sussex, and Miflhurst, where every one can name the Peers who in each case Kill return the next Member. The Duke of BUCcLEUCU will send some one else, as he before sent Mr. PRINGLE, for Selkirkshire ; Lord Bum has allowed Mr. WorrLzv to become Judge-Advocate-General, and will return him again for Buteshire ; Lord EGMONT named his man a month ago for Medhurst ; all the Peers of East Sussex will have their say about the new Member, and the Duke - of RICUStoND, from the west, and Lord• Lieutenant of the county to boot, will have his finger in the pie ; and as for Newark, Mr. GLADSTONE, determined to let the world know that the Duke of NEWCASTLE, and nothing else, had turned him out, wrote a second letter for the express purpose of having this understood ; and, turned out from Newark by one Peer, he hopes to be allowed to come in for Ripon by another Peer, but cannot yet ,procure his consent. The House of Commons clearly does not effect the object of prohibiting interference of Peers in elections by passing a resolution against it. Does it, can it, in crease the respect of the public towards itself by passing resolutions lAhich are daily and openly violated ? Mr. HUME'S motion for a return of the amount of legacy duty paid on personal property during the last year, we trust, was nut made without some useful pur pose The vast sums brought into the Treasury by this obnoxious and most unjust tax are matters of notoriety, and there is little occasion, therefore, for laying them be fore the public. The remedy is the thing wanted—a reduc tion of the legacy duty, and an equable extension of it to all kinds of property. If any proofs were required of the gross partiality of those aristocratic legislators who have so long ruled the destinies of the country, and of the extreme care which they have taken of them selves, while they have loaded others with burdens too grievous, to be borne, this tax alone would suffice. All entailed property is exempted from the legacy duty —thp finest estates in the kingdom, possessed by men who ought to be the first in wealth as well as in rank, and who become occupants of princely domains without any labour or any merit of their own, pay not one farthing, while the property accumulated by hard working trade.snien and by professional men, whose relatives had to pay large sums for their education, and who had to struggle many a day before they could make even a competency, is taxed at the death of the owner at rates varying from one to ten per cent. Children pay one per cent., independent of probate duty, on succeeding to what in reality is their own property. Brothers are robbed of 31. of every 1001. ; more distant relations cannot touch these legacies till the tax-gatherer has cut off 51. or 6/. ; and if a person wishes to leave to a friend who happened to belong to neither of these classes 1,0001., the Government, before that sum reaches the legatee, reduces it to 9001. In a few years or days, per haps, this remnant may be again operated upon, and re duced another ten per cent., while the heirs of entailed estates 'walk into their baronial halls scot-free. No impost, even made by a selfish Legislature, is more cruel than this, and in these times let us hope its iniquity requires only to be shown to be removed. It is most unequal in its operations, it is most oppressive, it takes - advantage of death to seize upon a man's property, and the Government, like - an 'unfeeling and grasping ,Undertaker, considers every act of robbery fair as soon as life is departed from the body. When Sir R. PEEL makes - bis grand financial statement, and points out the peCuliar burdens to which land is subject, the represen tatives of boroughs, the professed friends of the middle and working classes can reply to them, and adduce far more grievous burdens inflicted upon that class which forms the strength of the nation, which carries on her trade, improves her manufactures, and daily increases her wealth. The working classes, in fact, are compelled to contribute nearly the whole of the taxes ; the drones are comparatively exempt ; they are active only it de vising schemes of robbery, and when these are found out, and their unjust gains are to be cut off, or simply reduced, they assume the airs of honest men, and cry out for compensation. This class legislation has lasted too long. The reformed House of Commons, how ever; is resolved that it shall " cease to exist," and if they are only properly supported by the people, they will yet effect the greatest of all reforms—remodel the whole system of taxation, and allow no parties, to whit'_ aver order they belong, to claim exemptions. Whenever there is anything radically unsound in a Legislature, circumstances are incessantly arising to enforce upon the popular mind the actual existence and the r;.rnicious consequences of the blemish, and, at the same moment, to demonstrate the necessity for its re -m.,;hala.teAvegir tia s ti in on im in ic i a te l y t e oz. i t ty continuanceß mu y iiruetemtineglectedayyrunheardmallusionsa i n voiceless for a considerable infiueneesmay pe b riud eaz d e o to f ; its sti ln il, al i ig ts n days of exposure are fixed, its ultimate annihilation is inevitable.

NEW MUSIC. FIVE SONGS—" Pity poor Time;" " Some One who loves;" " Encore ! a Bottle more; or, Down I go if I la yo the Khoclar ;" "Mrs. C.'s Curtain Lectures;" and " Oh, Cruel Jeames, of Berkeley-square." " Pray, now, buy some ; I love a ballad in print a'-life ; for then we are sure they are true ;" a quotation applicable enough to the songs written by Mr. Beuler, fur they have, in general, a deal of truth in them, and so, " pray, now, buy some." " Pity poor Time "is a neat comic song; in which Time is made to complain of having so much left him to do by everybody. "Some One who Loves" is a sentimental ballad, with sensible words. "Encore ! a Bottle more !" is a well-told comic story, founded on fact. " Mrs. C.'s Curtain Lectures" are entertainin g . And " Oh, Cruel Jeames," is a bur • lc sque pathetic ballad with a really very pretty tune. The title-pages, as well as. the songs, are amusing. On that of " Time" the word "Pity " is formed of hearts, and" Time," of hour-glasses, clocks, and watches. Below, as a motto, is "Time and tide will wait for no man," which is illustrated by a representation of Time as a common labourer to the world, working with his scythe, pursued by a traveller " behind Time" and before Time; for "pa.st Time," King Canute is seen scudding from the "sportive waves," and underneath is the fol lowing :—" Once upon a time, King Canute, to reprove his flatterers who told him he could do anything, com manded the 'flowing tide to retire ! But it wouldn't ! And because it wouldn't, it has served .as a timely re proof to flattering time-servers many times from that time to this." Some 'of - the letters of the title of "En core I a Bottle more," are formed of bottles, and some are reeling about as tipsy as possible ; and a " swan nicked" bottle is engraved with wings, as a representa tion of "champagne flying about." The word " Berke. ley," on the title of Cruel Jeames," is formed of knockers, and cruel Jeames himself, as a winged Mer cury, is shown springing from the earth with scrips in one hand and computes in the either, evidently intent on measuring the moon, which, by the way, seems terribly alarmed, for future railroads. At the bottom is a pair shears in full cut, entitled "Jeames's Railway shears." All the songs appear effective, and, with the exception of " Mrs. Caudle's Lectures," the melodies are new and expressive of the subjects. ADDRESS FROM THE INHABI TANTS OF WINDSOR TO HIS ROYAL HIGH NESS PRINCE ALBERT. The following is a copy of the address (agreed to at a vestry meeting, held on Thursday last,) to his Royal High ness Prince Albert, moved by Mr. Blunt, and seconded by Mr. Alderman Snowden, on the subject of his Royal High ness's liberality in voluntarily contributing towards the relief of the poor of Windsor:-- " TO 1118 ROYAL HIGHNESS PRINCE ALBERT OF SAXE COBURG AND GOTHA, K G., ETC. " May it please your Royal Highness,—We, the under signed inhabitants of the parish of New Windsor, 'in ap proaching your Royal Highnefis, beg to assure your Royal Highness of our profound respect and attachment for the person of your Royal Highness, and trust that, by the blessing of Divine Providence, your Royal Highness may long be spared as the consort of our beloved Sovereign. " We feel it incumbent upon us, in now addressing yOur Royal Highness, to express our unfeigned regret that, at the recent vestry meetings for this parish, any uncourteous allusions should have been made in reference to your Royal Highness, and we can confidently assure your Royal Highness that the observations referred to meet with no sympathy from the inhabitants generally of this loyal borough. " On the part of the parish, we beg to return your Royal Highness our sincere and grateful acknowledgments for the spontaneous generosity of your Royal Highness, in graciously and beneficently contributing towards the parochial funds of the parish, when your Royal Highness was not, by the laws of the country, in any way chargeable with the pay ment thereof.

QUEEN'S BENCH.—(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco, at Westminster Hall.) BODMORE V. BUTTERWORTH. From the statement of counsel, it appeared that this case was an applicatiOn for a new trial of a question as to the infringement of a patent. The trial took place at the after sittings of last term, before Mr. Justice Wight man. It appeared that the plaintiff had invented certain very material and important improvements in the ma chinery for cleaning, carding, roving, and spinning cotton and wool, by a process called " surface motion," a system totally unknown before, particularly in coiling and uncoiling. The principal novelty, as stated in the specification, consisted in the winding of the cotton or wool on the rollers by the motion of the rollers them selves, described already as " surface motion," instead of the motion dependent on the motion of the roller's axis as practised in machines hitherto in use. At the trial the jury found a verdict for the defendant in two issues, and they were discharged in the other. And the pre sent appfication was for a rule to set the verdict aside, upon the grounds, which were stated at great length by the Learned Counsel, that the inventions of the plaintiff were bona fide and of the greatest possible importance to the public. The case was entered upon at the sitting of the Court, and some very beautiful and elaborate models wereplaced before the Bench, which the Learned Counsel explained the operation of with great particularity. (The case had not closed when our report left.) vX.CIIEQUER.—,r Is , (Sittings ►u ilaueo.)_ HALLET V. VIGNAY.
