It will be seen from the address of Mr. GLADSTONE to the electors (he should have said the non-electors) of Newark, that he declines to present himself again as a candidate for the representation of that borough. The reason he gives is rather curiously expressed. " As I have good reason," says he, " to believe that a candidate, recommended to your favour through local connexion, may ask your suffrages, it becomes my very painful duty to announce to you, on that ground alone, my retirement from a position which has afforded me so much of honour and of satisfaction." A stranger to Newark and Clumber Castle on reading the paragraph would have imagined that the Secre tary to the Colonies was to be opposed because he was encumbered by official duties, and could not at tend to the interests of his constituents, or that some active citizen, well acquainted with the population and the affairs of the borough, from a conviction that both had been neglected by the late Member, had generously offered to supply his ;place, sacrifice his domestic comforts, and per haps injure his trade or profession, for the good of his fellow-citizens ; but great would be his wonder when he learned that all this was most opposite to the fact —that there was only one elector, the Duke of NEWCASTLE—that Newark was his property—and, adhering to a noble principle laid down by his Grace, " that a man had a right to do what he liked with his own," he was pleased to supplant Mr. GLADSTONE by some new favourite. Yet this is done, and openly done, in England ; where, by the law of the land, all Peers are prohibited from interfering in any way whatever with the elec tion of burgesses. What a mockery, then, is the law made by King, Lords, and Commons, when it is thus openly violated by one of the law-makers, and that too for his own personal interests. Another law also is vio lated—that by which a Member, on being appointed to a Government office o f a certain class, is compelled to return to his constituents, and ask their sanction to the measure. This is an excellent regulation, be cause it forms a check on the Government, and en ables the people, in some respects, to control their policy ; but in this instance it is a dead letter. The Duke says " You shall not consult the con stituents—your measures are not my measures— you propose to remove a tax justly im posed for the good of the aristocracy, and by the aristocracy to raise their rent-rolls. The people, of course, wish to get rid of that tax, but we are the lawgivers, and the people shall feel this to their cost. The borough is mine, and I will return a fit representative." And what is the consequence of this policy, putting its illegality entirely out of the question ? Mr. GLADSTONE is appointed to one of the most important departments in the State; that department has been greatly mis managed latterly—at all events, the Noble Lord who has vacated it, gave universal dissatisfaction, and the state of New Zealand, as well as other colo nies, bears witness that the dissatisfaction was not without reasonable grounds. Yet the Minister who succeeds is forbidden to consult his former constituents; he cannot attend in his place in the Commons to an swer the grievances complained of, and the duty of his office can only be very imperfectly and most unsatisfactorily perform&, till he is smuggled into some other pocket-borough, or obtains a seat by less creditable means. This is a great blot on the Re form Bill, but, nevertheless, let us be thankful to the Duke ; he is carrying his illegal poly to the utmost extent ; he is thereby pointing out in the most effective manner the rottenness of a system which includes some forty or fifty places, all said to be represented, but without any consti tuents whatever, and thus forcing upon the people of England another struggle for the extension of the suffrage. We are much obliged to the Dukes. The Duke of WELLINGTON'S famous speech decided the Reform Bill, and another Duke is doing his duty in an equally effective manner to render that Bill more perfect. Mr. GLADSTONE'S address lets out another secret. " I am given to understand," he adds in another part of the address, " that persons favourable to unrelaxed protection were not prepared themselves to undertake the conduct of public affairs, in conformity with the views which they entertained." So that the Duke of NEWCASTLE, and the perverse clique who cry out for " protection," will neither work themselves nor let others work. The Rica- MONDS, and BUCKINGRAMS, and STANLEYS, could not venture to announce to a House of Commons their extravagant principles, because they knew they would be laughed to scorn. They stand in the way of all improvement—they would stem the stream which they cannot turn, and, like all obstructions of such puny strength, will, for the good of their country, be in due time swept away by the unconquerable force of the current. In another part of our paper will be found a report of a meeting of agricultural labourers in North Wiltshire, which we have transferred from the Times. It is worthy of deep and earnest atten tion ; yet this recommendation is unnecessary —it is impossible to peruse it unmoved. It is no varnished tale—no plausible romance, adorned with rounded periods and melodious phrases; it boasts no adventi tious ornaments, yet is it eloquent, eloquent with the power of truth, which is, like beauty, " when un adorned, adorned the most." It is a brief statement of the sorrows of the poor, narrated by themselves, in language at once simple and affecting. N o writer of fiction ever adorned his pages with suc h touching pathos, such heart-stirring eloquence —no painter ever conceived a more impressive scene. In a cross -road in the open country, without shelter of any kind, on a dark, cold winter night, are assembled about a thousand persons, dressed in the commonest garb, all wasted by suffering. On a rude bench is seated a man of venerable appearance, poor and sorrowful like the rest; but his language is full of humble piety and reliance upon PROVIDENCE. A few uncouth lanterns shed a fitful light around ; some illumine the counte nance of youth, of youth without smiles, like life without sunshine, or serve to distinguish the features of child ren s hi ver i ng w i t h co ld , or starv ing with hunger. Some show us the unhappy mo thers, with pale faces and wasted frames, and hard lwvoirtkhi n w g suffering breathless eagernesstoil i toiling for do h inadequa te heed r h ew a t rd e . humble speaker, who tells of his troubles, and re echoes their own ; how their voices rise in concert to attest his truth, how their faces glow with hope as he speaks of swift deliverance! Are these some natives of a barbarous land, where slavery is tolerated and approved ; is it a scene of ancient days in the old times of feudal tyranny ? Not so; it is a glimpse England in the civdised and re fiofnet d he n p in e e a te sa en nt a peasantry of century ! These starving, suffering men are the tillers of the soil, by the sweat of whose brow the great and powerful are enriched—who toil without reward, and starve without pity. And why are they thus assembled here ? Not to resist oppres sive power ; not to break the laws, stern and heart less though they often be ; not to rise in vengeance, and try the power of right against might—far from it. They meet publicly to relate their sor rows, to declare that their cup of misery is full to overflowing, and to petition the SOVEREIGN to exert the noblest prerogative of the Crown, " the attribute of Heaven itself," and show mercy to their sufferings, since justice is denied them by their fellow men. They have not spoken in vain; their words have not been " wasted on the desert air ;" they are diffused through the length and breadth of the land, and everywhere they must produce effect. Eloquence may contradict eloquence, fine speeches may coun teract fine speeches, but truth is unanswerable. Not all the hereditary wisdom of the Dukes of RICHMOND and BUCKINGHAM, not all the culinary science of the Duke of NORFOLK, nor the poetic genius of Lord W. LENNOX, not the united eloquence of the whole ex clusive faction could answer the plain statements of these humble men. Take the following examples " William Parry, of Charlton, said, I have come a distance of twenty m il es to te ll my tale of distress. I have six children, a wife, and myself to maintain on Bs. per week, bread being 15d. per gallon. The farmers tell us that our wages go according to the price of bread ; but last spring I had 7s. a week, and could buy bread at 9d. a gallon. Now it is 6d. more ; and a gallon a day, being one pound to each, is what we want in my family. Then there is clothing and firing wanted, and house rent to pay ; but there is nothing to pay for any of these things. I told the relieving officer that I could not keep my family on my wages. He said he would bring my case forward at the board of guardians. Well, he sent me an order for one of my children to go into the work • house. Now, fellow-labourers, is not one child as dear to you as another ?—(Hear, hear.) Well, I did not know which to send. I could not part with ne'er a one. I said to my oldest girl, You are to go into the work house.' She did not like to go, and I spoke to others, and there I had the cries of my poor children, which were piercing to nu heart, Don't send me, father ! don't send me !' Was not that enough to try a man, without the pressure of starvation ? I spoke to master about it. Oh,' he says, if you cannot maintain them you had better send one into the workhouse ; I shall not allow you any more wages.' I said, what benefit is it to send this child into the workhouse and banish it from its home; it will do the rest no good, nor that one either. Besides, I should have it always upon my mind, for no man would like to part from his children in such a way.—(Hear.) I spoke a few words at a meeting at Uphaven, and master told me I had done myself a great deal of hurt by it. I know I only told the truth. He said the farmers might have done me some good but for that. " William Taylor stated that he had a wife and four children, and expected soon to have five ; and was at present out of employment. For the last seven weeks he was in work he got 6s. 6d. per week. For many days he had been without a bit of bread to eat. " A person in the crowd—But you are one of the pro tected Wiltshire labourers. Were you discharged from your employment because you were so weak you could not work? " Taylor—Yes, I could not work because I was not strong enough ; I could not get victuals to make me so ; and my master, Mr. Styles, of Whitcomb, discharged me. I have no work now, and not a sixpence. " A voice—Go to the Duke of Richmond, at 17, Bond street.—(Cries of Hear, hear.') " Another voice—Did ever any of your fellow labourers give you bread when you were starving ? " Taylor—Yes, several times. I han't had any to-day but what that man gave me.(pointing to a labourer in the crowd, who replied, Yes, I gave him some to-day.') May God Almighty soon send free trade ! [This poor man need not have called himself a starv ing man, his emaciated appearance spoke in stronger terms than his voice could utter]. " James Peglar complained that he had been hunted down' under the poor-laws, having been, with his wife and family, forced into the workhouse, and se parated from them for eleven months.—(Cries of 'Shame!) At last he was turned out to get work ; and, because he went out of the district to find work, he was taken before the magistrates, and charged with desertion, for which he was sent to prison for a month. It was no use for him to grumble; he was served so again after that. God bless my heart and life ! (exclaimed this man) I never seed sich a go to be sure as how I was served. I knows enough of starvation and misery to make me say, God send us free trade !' "—(Cheers.) One of the chief characteristics of the English people is their enduring fortitude ; this is the great secret of our national greatness. The eager vivacity of the French, the impetuous ardour of the southerns, have frequently made them foremost for a time, the English are daring, and high-spirited, and brave; but it is to their endurance in adversity that they owe their proud position. Others gain conquests but we keep them ; others win a brief fame while we earn lasting glory. What an example is presented by the people at this moment. Poverty and hunger, neglect and oppression are their portion ; they do not rebel, they do not even despair ; no dis orderly movement is made ; they only follow the pre scribed rules; they meet to communicate their griefs; they petition the Legislature to amend the laws, and they await the result with anxious patience. May they not wait long! Oh, let the relief be speedy— let those in power remember, to give quickly is to give twice. In another fortnight the representatives of the people re-assemble ; may they truly represent their constituents, and be unanimous and resolved as they are. Let the landlords still hold out if they will—they will be but a feeble minority. Short sighted men ! did they know their own interests they would act differently. Are they ignorant that their welfare depends on that of the labourer ? They can no more exist without him than a column without its base, yet the base can exist without the capital. If noble Lords studied architecture it might be bet ter for them; they would not be so ready to build without foundation. The meeting at Goatacre will be useful in many ways; it will set an example to the rest of the country, and, as one of the men observed, " It will even be gratifying to Sir R. PEEL, who is waiting for the people of this country to press him on to repeal, for he knows, as well as any man, the bad effects the corn-laws are producing." 'We have received Madrid journals of the 31st ult. The debate on the Address commenced in the Senate on the 30th, and was resumed next day. The first five paragraphs were adopted with little discussion. On the sixth being proposed, M. BURGOS moved that it be omitted. That paragraph stated that the subor dination and good discipline of the army were the surest guarantees of public peace. This he considered opposed to constitutional government, as the only sure guarantee was in the due execution of the laws. General NAEVAEZ opposed the amendment, and de nied that the military power dominated over every other power in the State. Military domination was at an end, and ordinary laws and a free press were established. There were no powers existing except ing those sanctioned by the law, and the fact was evinced by the meeting of the representatives of the people. The paragraph was ultimately adopted. No business of any interest was done in the other Chamber. On the 31st the Three per Cents. were quoted at 36i at 60 days. The accounts from Paris of the state of the stock and share-market are very favourable. On Tuesday the Three per Cents. opened at the closing prices of the previous day, but afterwards advanced considerably, and closed at 83f. 20c., showing a rise of 30c. The Fives left off firm at 121 f. 45c.; and all the railway shares closed at higher quotations. Discussions and Ministerial explanations had taken place in the Com mittee of the Deputies appointed to draw up the answer to the Address. Four of the Ministers were present—M. GuizoT, Admiral MACICAU, General ST. YON, and M. C. GRIDAINX, the Minister of Commerce. In answer to questions, the Minister for Foreign Affairs spoke at considerable length. With regard to the intervention of France and England on the Plate, he said that both powers were deter mined to continue steady in the course they had adopted, until tranquillity should be completely re stored ; and, in regard to the annexation of Texas, France had only taken those steps without regard to England which she considered conducive to her own interests. The papers relative to this subject would be laid before the Chambers. The Minister of Marine, Admiral MACKAU, confirmed a statement made by M. GUIZOT, and said France had no inten- tion to colonise Madagascar. The object of the expe dition was to avenge tho death of the French soldiers who had perished in that island, and when that ob ject was attained, and guarantees had been given for the safety of those carrying on trade in the island, the expedition would return to France. The other topics adverted to possess little or no interest for the English reader. The Committee of the Chamber of Peers, appointed to draw up the Address, also met on Tuesday, to hear the report drawn up by Count PORTALIII. If the Address, as drawn up by the reporter, should be approved of by the Committee, the Peers will meet on Wednesday in their bureaux to hear it read, and the public discussion will probably commence on Thurs day We regret," says Galignani, " to announce the death of Mr. LEWIS GOLDSMITH -(father of Lady LYNDHURST), which took place last night (Monday), at his residence, in the Rue de la Paix. His decease was somewhat unexpected, although he had been se riously ill for the last few days, and the state of his health for a considerable length of time had been so precarious, as to leave little or no hope of his entire recovery." The Constitutionnel says :—" It appears that it will be during the stay of the Royal Family at Neuilly, in the months of May and June, that the Queen of ENGLAND will again visit France. Considerable works in cleaning and improving are going on at Neuilly. From that residence the young QUEEN will come to Paris and proceed to Versailles, where some grand fetes will be offered to her. The following article from the Journal des Debate on the subject of French, German, and English railroads, may be interesting to some readers : " In general the rate of charges on the German rail roads are similar, but the lowest is that on the Bavarian line belonging to the State. The price of the first-class is sc. 7-10ths, and for the two others 3c. 9-lOths, and 2c. 4-10ths, which is less than on the Belgian lines worked by the State. Several German companies have, besides, reduced rates of charges either for those pas sengers who go by a merchandise train, or for those who subscribe for a certain number of journeys per month. There are also tickets issued at a reduced price for a party going and returning. For the conveyance of goods there is nothing strikingly new in the German tariffs, as they are nearly similar to the French. On a part of the line from Vienna to Olmutz the price has been reduced to 7c. per ton per kilometre (the quarter of a French league), but this is the minimum of the German tariffs. The Orleans Company, however, only charge Bc. on some descriptions of articles, and the Rouen Company, in consequence of the opposition of the boats on the river, has reduced its price to 7c. between Rouen and Paris. Goods in transitu on the Belgian lines only pay 6c., and on some English lines coals in tended for exportation are only charged 6c. In this state of things it appears to be established that the railroads cannot carry goods for less than from 6c. to 7c., which is a third of the price charged by the ordinary carriers. In Germany more than three-fourths of the passenger,. go by the lowest class carriages ; a fifth part by the second class, and only three in a hundred by the carriages of the first class. In this respect, as in many others, France occupies a middle station between England and Ger many. The rate of speed on the German railroads is moderate, not exceeding 30 kilometres (not quite 19 English miles) per hour. It is caused by their peculiar mode of construction, and it also shows that time is not yet considered very valuable in that country. On the most productive lines of railroad in England, as that from London to Birmingham, the gross returns are from 100,000 f. to 120,0001. per kilometre. In France, the best lines (we only speak of those of some extent), such as the Orleans and Rouen lines, give a gross return of from 50,000 f. to 65,000 E, or about half of the best Eng lish lines. The most favoured lines in Germany do not yet produce more than the half of the best lines in France. Exclusive of the lines from Vienna to Glocgnitz, and from Berlin to Potsdam, the former of which produces 31,000 f., and the latter 27,000 f. per kilometre, the good German lines are below 25,000 f. That from Aix-la-Cha pelle to Cologne only produced in 1844 23,736 f. ; that from Leipsic to Dresden 18,770 f. ; that from Madgeburg to Leipsic 21,6381. The expenses may be always reckoned at from the half to two-fifths of the receipts. The divi dends paid to the shareholders are in most cases hardly 5 per cent. ; very rarely from 6 to 63-, and in no case less than 3 per cent." On the Paris Bourse on Tuesday, the Stock-market closed as follows :--Three per Cents. for cash, 83f. 10c. ' • for Ac count, 831. 20c. ' • Five per Cents., for cash, 121 f. 45c. ' • for Account, 121 f. 45c. ; Bank of France Shares, 3,310 f.; Neapolitan, 102 f. 25c.; Spanish and New Loan, not quoted. The ,Share-market closed at higher quotations. Paris and Orleans left off at 1,260 f.; Paris and Rouen, 1,025 f. ; Rouen and Havre, 815 f. ; Avignon, 1,005 f. ; Vierzon, 700 f. ; Stras burg and Basle, 255 f. ; Boulonge and Amiens, 5551. ; Nor thern, 7601. ; Bordeaux, 650 f.; Montereau, 442 50c.; Fam poux, not quoted.

EXTENSION OF LITERPOOL.—The increase in the number of houses built in Liverpool has been great beyond all precedent during the last two years, as will be seen from the following statement :—No less than 2,450 houses were erected in 1844, and the still more extraordinary number of 3,728 were erected in 1845, within the Parliamentary bo rough, to say nothing of the hundreds built beyond the boundaries, in the direction of the Old Swan, and the still greater number built on the Cheshire side of the river. To some extent this extraordinary increase in the number of houses leas been the result of the excellent regulation which forbids living in cellars, and so far it is a proof of an improved mode of living rather than of an increase of the population; but, even after every allowance has been made for that circumstance, the increase is surprising, and shows that Liverpool is still in the full vigour of its growth. The following particulars of the increase of houses from 1838 to 1845 are very remarkable:— Houses.

RATING OF PRIN CE A LBERT ' S F ARM.—IVINDSOR, WEDNESDAY.—In addition t o th e o pinions obtained by the Prince Consort (on the subject of the claims of the p arish of Windsor against his Royal Hi g h ne ss, for arrears of poor rates) from Sir Fresiderick The s igor and Sir Thomas Wilde, his Royal Highness also had the *pinion of Mr. Fitzroy Kelly, which perfectly coincided, as the case was dra wn up, with that of the other two eminent counsel we have named. Mr. White (Prince Albert's solicitor)3was present, by desire of the Prince, at the interview at the Castle, yesterday, between Mr. G. E. Anson and the parish officers. Considerable, ex citement prevails in the town, i n co nsequence of the opinion given by the law officers of the Crown. The result of the vestry meeting called by the churchwardens and overseers, and the steps which will be considered necessary to be taken by the parishioners on the subject, are looked forward to with great interest. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO TIMER. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 5,000 to 6,000 bale., nearly all to tl.e trade, at full prices. American at 4d. per lb. and under was not so easy to buy. There are accounts a few days later from the Cape of Good Hope, but they contain no news of particular in terest. The state of the frontier was tranquil, and despite occasional alarms, there bad been no actual outbreak. Sales of land bad been made at an advance of 25 per cent. on upon the prices of the year previous. A very marked improvement has occurred this morning in the value of the British Securities, and there is much buoy ancy observable. The payment of the dividends in the course of a day or two, assists the market, andwith the purchases for tha Sinking Fund, already commenced, the Bulls will perhaps be encouraged to operate. Consols have been 94% to 95% for present transfer, and 95 to 954 % for the 16th instant. Bank Stock has been up to 205 and 206. New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 97% to 984 ; and the Three ptr Cents. 95% to 95%. Exchequer-bills are up to 28s. and 30s. premium. The Foreign Investments have been heavy. Spanish Three per Cents. at 39% ; Portuguese Four per Cents. at 58 •, and Mexican at 31 ; Brazilian New Stock is worth 78. Belgian Four-and-a-Half per Cents. are at 98. The Direct Northern Railway comes out very spiritedly for the new tilt in Parliament against its rivals the London and York and the Cambridge projects, and despite the exer tions of the latter there are good reasons for presuming that the claims of the Direct Northern will give it the decided preference. As opposed to the London and York, its gradients are far better, and the distance it traverses is shortf r, though it affords accommodation to all the principal localities, and it has also ample pecuniary means to work upon. With respect to the Cambridge projects, they are far more circuitous, and have by no means so central a terminus as the Direct Not thorn, while, as opposed to both schemes, the Direct Northern has already received the pre ference of the Railway Board, and been favourably enter tained before the Parliamentary Committee. The Share Market does not appear to have improved pari passu with Stocks, but it is rather firmer. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK. (From the Official List.) Bank Stock 206 205 3 per Cent.

SHERIFFS' COURT. 7 (THIS DAY•) (Before Mr. Under-Sheriff 'BURCHELL.) HIBON V. PALMER AND ANOTHER. This was an action for breach of covenant. The facts of the case were briefly these :—ln 1829 a lease of some property in Dalton-road, near Croydon' was granted by Mr. Edward Bullock, deceased, to Palmer, d ecease d. Th ere was t h e usua l cove nantin the lease for the payment of rent. In 1844 the defendants, as representatives of J. Palmer, assi g ned their i nterest the lease to th e plaintiff, in consideration of 401, covenn t. ing in the assi gnmen t th a t a ll t h e covenants i n the original lease had been fulfilled. It however appeared that the covenant for payment of rent had been broken, both before and after the death of Palmer, and that, in fa ct ' an action of ejectment was pending at the time the as signment w as ma d e , an d plaintiff was subsequently dis possessed of his property. A surveyor said that the ground was very eligible for building on, and worth, for that purpose, 200/. The jury gave a verdict for plaintiff—Damages 90L BUCKLAND V. GREGORY. The plaintiff in this action is a brewer, at Hampstead, and the defendant is Mr. Barnard Gregory. The action was brought to recover the sum of 131. 10s. for goods sold and delivered to defendant's wife before her mat. riage. The defendant denied his liability. Mr. Lusre stated the case. The amount claimed was for goods supplied to defendant's wife between the months of June, 1844, and January, 1845. The present Mr s ' Gregory was a Mrs. Labarre, niece to Mr. Thompson , ei gentleman residing at the Priory, at Hampstead. Mr!' Labarre rt sided with her uncle up to the time of his death in March, 1843. A dispute then arose as to the will, Mrs. Labarre claiming the property, but Mr. Gregory also held a will which was in his favour. Mrs. Labarre, however, con ti nue d i n t h e h ouse , a nd the servants looked upon her as mistress. Ultimately, b ow ever, the rival claimants settled the dispute by marriage. In June, 1844, Mrs. Labarre wrote to a tradesman et Hampstead, stating that she was about returning to her seat at Hampstead, and desiring goods to be supplied oil her credit, as the law-suit would soon be settled in her favour, and desired the servant who took it to call upon plaintiff, and show the note, and order ale to be sent into the Priory. There could not, therefore, be any doubt as to the liability of Mrs. Gregory before her marriage, and consequently of the subsequent liability of the defendant. Peter Archer, "gardener to the late Mr. Thompson, was examined at great length ; the material fact va s ' that on being served with notices that M r . G re gor,' claimed to be master, Mrs. Gregory said " They are from Gregory's party, what the devil have they , to do with it ?" She was mistress, and witness vw to obey her ; and that in Juno 1844 she paid him WS. on account of wages. He could not say when the marriage took place. Mr. Gregory appeared on his own behalf, and DR. Lewis claimed to be heard on the part of Mrs. Gregory The. UNDER-SIIERIFF said that both could not be heard ; defendant and his wife were " one" now. Mr. LEWIS cross-examined the witness, and elicited that he had demanded his wages from Mr. Gregory, wh, ° had raised his wages immedi a t e ly a ft er M r . Th om p s on s death ; he, however, always considered Mrs. Gregory his mistress. He was in the habit of taking vegetables to Mr. Gregory's house, in North Audley-street, where Mrs. Labarre also resided when in town, but frequently went to dine at the Priory. M. A. Clarke, housemaid to Mrs. Labarre, was called: and proved giving the ord e r f or th e b eer an d gen eral instructions on the part o f M rs . L a b arre, as m i s t r ess. Witness, however, had frequently b een p a id h er w ages by the coachman as fro m M r . G regory , b ut did no t re" member receiving any money from him after June. 184 4 , when Mrs. Labarre said that she was mistress. Witness was not told to show the note to plaintiff. James Joiner, clerk to plaintiff, proved the order and delivery of beer. In July, 1844, Mrs. Labarre sent wor d not to supply any more beer at the Priory, for it would not be paid for. Cross-examined—Never looked to any one else for money than Mrs. Labarre, but was told by the coachman Tomkins, that it was for the servants on Mrs. Labarre's credit. Mr. Hammond, attorney for the plaintiff, proved the , the first witness, Archer, called on him to bring an action against Mrs.Labarre, but understanding there had been a marriage, witness wrote to M r . G regor y. M' Gregory called, and witness thinking he had called to pay, said that if defendant gave a cheque for the debt , he would take it without costs. Witness, however, ba d a writ in his desk. a t t e nd an t re f use d t o p a y, an d said, , that if any proceedin gs were t a k en , M essrs . L ew i s , 0' Ely-place, were his solicitors, but, as he became abusive, witness took out the writ and served it on defendant.'" (Laugh ter.) . • I iMr. LEWIS, for the defendant, contended that the goods had been negligently sent in on the order of the servants, for if Mrs. Labarre wrote a note to one trades' man she would have written to another; and immediateli she heard that there was a dealing in her name, she sent notice not to supply an y more . H e a l so raised a pill t that there 1% ss no proof at what time the marriage toes . place ; therefore the plaintiff's case had not bee n made out. ----- (The verdict had not been returned when our report left.) CRIMINAL COURT.—(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Justice WiceermArr and Mr. Justice ERI , O SMASHING.—The greater part of the forenoon visa occupied with the trial of John Thomas, for feloniously uttering a counterfeit sovereign. There was no feature in the case warr an ti ng spec i a l not i ce, an d the pr i se ne having been f oun d gu il ty, an d a previous eonv i c tinri . being proved aga i nst hi m f or a similar offence, he sentenced to transportation for ten years. ROBBERY WITH VIOLENCE. —Thomas Smith and A" Jones were charged, the first with robbery accompanied with violence on Thomas Phillips, and stealing from hie' a bank note, value 101., his property ; and the second with receiving the same, well knowing it to have bees stolen. The case, at the time it transpired, was fully re ported in the newspapers. The robbery was c ommittes, on December 14, a t th e h ouse o f M rs. H am bli n , 01 Catherine-place, Camberwell, where Mrs. Phillips, the lady in question, was on a visit. Mr. CLARKSON appeared for the prosecution, en d having briefly stated the case, he called the following witnesses, Sarah Ann Gollavin was examined, and depost d that on the evening of December 14, the male prisoner caul. to her mistress's residence, an d as k e d to see the l a dy °` the house, saying he had a letter for her. Witness too!c, the letter to her mistress. It conta i ne d a t h reat t h a t 3f a sum of money was not immediately given, he w ould plunder the house. Mrs. Hamblin was in great alarnit and not being able to find any money, went to M r , phil lips, her brother-in-law, who was on a visit, and gage him the letter. Smith was standing all the:time in the pas" sage, and drew out a large pistol, stating, once or twice+ that if his demand were not conceded, he should call 1 31 other men IN ho were lying in wait. Witness at last sari Mr. Phillips give the prisoner something, on which he went away. Caroline Hamblin examined—She said that on the night in question the letter was put into her hands hi the servant. The letter contained a threat that if a sud of money wa i l not immediately produced, he would call in his men, twelve in number, and plunder the house. The letter produced was the one received. Being dread' fully alarmed, and having no money at hand, she was about to go out to try and get some, but was stopped V the prisoner, who threatened violence if she stirred froal the house. She then went to Mr. Phillips, and gave hill the letter, on which he went to the prisoner, and learned from him, that unless 101. was immediately produced , the house would be at once plundered. The prisoner accompanied this threat by pulling out a large horse pistol with one hand, holding a dirk or dagger in the other. Mr. Phillips at last gave the prisoner what he demanded, and h e wen t awa y. Sh e w ou ld not We. consented to the prisoner getting any money had s he not been in terror of her life. Mr. Thomas Phillips corroborated the previous evi' dente, and added, that when he objected to give the money to Smith, he called in another from the garden. , w ho was similarly armed t o hi mse l f. He gave the 101' at last from fear of the h ouse b e i ng plundered, and vie" lenee done to the inmates. The prisoner was clearly identified by all the nesses. Several other witnesses were called, proving that the male had been seen lurking about that evening, whi l° the eviden ce o f M r. Atten b ury, a pawnbroker, prove d that the female had passed the 10/. with him in redeem' ing some pledges, and that when the alarm was raised , and he questioned her about how she came by the note, she gave evasive and unsatisfactory answers. It wa3 at last traced to the male prisoner, whom she represente d to be her husband, and a labourer in the country. The note was here produced and identified. This closed the case fur the prosecution ; the PO• soners were undefended. On the prisoners being asked what they had to say in answer to the charge, Jones declared that she was innocent of any criminal intention, She was the wif e of the oth er p r i soner, and it was her duty to go and ge' , the note changed when she was sent. .:,Mr. Justice:Eß.lx then summed up the evidence, going minutely over all the facts adduced in evidence, whe n the ju r y, a f ter consulting for some time, found S w ap_ Guilty. A ver di ct o f N ot G u il ty was returned i n favour of the female prisoner. The former was then sentenced to be transported he' yond the seas for the term of his natural life. We have been informed that the prisoner Smith yr! transported for burglary last year, but esca p e d f ro m the transport ship at Woolwich ; and the p o li ce s t a t e that I' is suspected of having committed a robbery very recently in Northamptonshire.
