ACOMMON COUNCIL, holden in the Cham ber of the Guildhall, in the City of London, on THURSDAY, the 12th day of February, 1846.. Resolved,—'ghat while this Court is desirous to record its cordial and entire approbation of thecomprehensiVii, just, awl wise measures introduced to the Commons House of rudiment by the First Slinister of the Crown, for the revision of our commercial policy, and are gratified to learn that a repeal of the Corn-laws is also pro posed, although at a future time, it cannot but express an earnest hope that the total and immediate repeal of those laws may yet be proposed and carried, instead of deforring such a positive good for a period of three years. liesolved,—That this Court is of opinion that the removal of all prohibitory duties upon the importation of food and other necessary articles is eminently osculated to promote the agricultural, com mercial, and social interests of the people, by improving their pit) deal. condition, and thus advancing their intellectual and in :rat habits. _ _ ..... Ressived,—That, therefore, to delay the final repeal of the Corn laws for a period of three years is au evil, and necessarily tends to introduce uncertainty into an important branch of commerce, to in jure commerce in general, to procrastinate agricultural improve ment, and thus prevent the sop ieation of science to the better cul tivation of the land, by which the English farmer, without pro tection, will be able successfully to compete with the lofting grower. Resolved,—That a petition be presented to Parliament, founded upon these resolutions, and praying for the total and Immediate repeal of the Corn-laws. Resolved,—That a copy_of these resolutions be forwarded to the Representatives of this City in Parliament, with the expression of a lops that they will support the measures introduced by her Ma jesty's Prime Minister, Sir Robert Peel, for the repeal of the Corn laws and the remission of taxation, and avail themselves of any opportunity which may present itself, and which, without preju dicing the measures introduced by , Sir Robe• t Peel, may have for its object the total and immediate repeal of the laws imposing any duty or restriction upon the importation of corn'or provisions of any kind.

IMMEDIATE REPEAL OF• THE CORN-LAWS. A Court of Common Council was held yesterday, at which, among other business, Mr. Wire brought forward a series of resoluiions bearing on the immediate repeal of the corn-laws, feunded on a requisition signed and sent into the Lord Mayor by a majority of the Common Council. • - The Irish Society, and the nomination of members to act upon it, occupied the attention of the Court for some'time, but this having been disposed ot, The Lorin MAYOR ordered the clerk to read the requisi tion sent in to him by the Members of the Council, praying him to call a meeting of the Court on an early day, to con sider the propriety of petitioning. Parliament for the imme diate repeal of the corn-laws. Mr. HARRISON did not think the course pursued by the Lord Mayor was regollr, as other besi less hid been named to the court, and he therefore moved that the requisition 'should not he taken into consideration. Mr. Harrison, howefer,' ulti mately withdrew this, after he hid created much confu.ion. Mr. LAWRENCE proposed that the requisition should be received. The RECORDER was sure that the Lord Mayor had not re collected, if he was ever aware of, the notice given in the paper by Mr. Wire, that the petition should be taken into eensidera tion by the Court immediately after the business of the Irish Society had been closed. Mr. WIRE said he confessed, after having on so late an occasion requested his Lordship's attention, and the at tention of the Court, to the same question, he would at that time have sat down after simply reeding the resolutions founded •on the requiiition, but for the peculiar position which the question at present oc cupied. Ile would, however, say a few words, and but a few, in support of the subject, lest the Honourable Gentle men, if any there were in that Court—( Great laughter, which continued for some time ; when it had subsided, Mr. Wire continued)--the Honourable Gentlemen, if any there were in that Court, who opposed the petition, might say that the supporters of that petition had contributed neither facts, feelings, nor reason, in favour of their cause.—(Hear, hear.) He would not, however, detain them long, especially after a resolution had been passed by that Court, expressing their comrnisscration with the depressed circumstances of the people of Ireland, and their opinion that it was the duty of the Legislature to take the facts into their consideration in order to devising a speetty remedy.—( Hear, hear.) That Court had always been forward in the cause of the people and of commerce, and it stood, therefore, at that moment in a position more enviable than the Commons House of Parliament. From time to time they had expressed their mind on the advantages that would accrue to the nation from free trade, the truth of v!hich was now admitt e d on a ll 'h an d s . And in the Parliament the leaders on both sides of the House deemed that that was a system which ought to regulate all their commercial transactions. The benefits to be derived from the adoption of it were not only now admitted in the House of Commons—the admission pervaded the whole people. The conviction which that admission argued has not produced so much in consequence of the scarcity of food, as that the people now began to understand that great question. He felt it unne cessary, thereto: e, for him to adduce arguments before the Court in support of free trade, and the more especially after the con duct of Sir Robert Peel. The Right flon. Gentleman at, the head of the Government had earned a debt of gratitude from all parties ; the first Minister of the Crown had come forward and said that the time of restriction was at an end, and not only on food, but generally on trade.— (hear.) They could not, however, be satisfied that that measure had been deferred for three years. He thought that that Court, while it spoke of Sir Robert Peel in terms of praise and gratitude, would nevertheless ask him to repeal the corn-laws immediately.— ( Cheers.) Ile did not wish to weary the Court with argu ments ; he would reserve himself fur reply, in case any objec tions should be urged against the resolutions which he would now submit to the Court. He then read resolutions approving of the comprehensive measures of Sir Robert Peel on com merce, and for the repeal of the corn-laws, but deprecating the repeal of the latter being deferred, and pledging the Court to draw up a petition to Parliament, praying for their imme diate and total abolition. Mr. DUNCAN, in seconding the resolutions, spoke of the evils which had arisen from the laws in question, and the pro spects there were of increased trade with the States of America and the Zollvercin, in case of their abolition. On the RECORDER having read the resolutions, Mr. Putttirs thought it appeared an extraordinary thing that Mr. Wire should bring in resolutions, thanking Sir Robert Peel for what he had granted, and then praying him to grant the same. As far as the time was concerned, he thought Sir Robert was the best judge himself, and therefore would move as an amendment that the word " immediately" should be left out of the resolutions. No seconder having been found, the amendment fell to the ground. Mr. LAWRENCE was pleased with the introduction of the resolutions, and therefore he would vote for them, at least for part of them. (He then read the first part of the first resolution, as far as it approved of Sir Robert's measures en commerce and the corn-laws, and here stopped.) For that part of the resolutions he would vote with pleasure, and moved the same as an amendment.--(Laughter. ) The resolutions were admirably drawn up—(Laughter)—and well expressed. Yet surely members recollected that not long ago the question had been argued most fully in that Court, and it was carried by a large majority that a petition should be laid before the Queen on that very subject. Since that was passed, the Minister of the Crown had presented to Par liament a series of measurers ; and these were not on corn only, for he had opened the question of free trade. Notwith standing that, here came more resolutionson the corn-laws. He was amazed at his Hon. Friends that they did not, as the Americans say, go the while hog.—( Laughter.) Why would they not take the protective duty off silk? %'hy not that which was on brandy ? And on glass?—(Cries of " Sir Robert will.") Sir Robert Peel had given notice of his inten tion at a future period of admitting timber duty free, but why not immediately as well as the corn-laws ? He had no doubt but that Sir Robert had used sound discretion in not taking the duty off at once. It had been said that the state of the po tato crop had precipitated the measure. Hetelieved that im mediate repeal, were it carried, would benefit the people in the article of food v, ry little, and it would produce great evil to the relations that subsisted between landlord and tt-nant.—( Hear, hear.) In taking the ground he did, he was consistent, for on the former occasion, when the resolution was moved for the repeal of the law, he had made an amendment for ultimate repeal preceded by a small restriction of ss. duty. If Sir Robert Peel had come down and taken his advice, he could not have devised a measure to much in accordance with his opinion. He said great things had been held out to them by his friend the seconder of the resolution. He had assured them that the United States would open their trade to them, on condition that this country did a certain thing ; he had vouched the same thing for the states of the Zollverein, but he (Mr. Lawrence) had nothing more for these assertions than the fact that his friend had made them. (When he had read the portion of the resolution which he moved, Mr. Lawrence resumed his seat.) Mr. JONES seconded the amendment. He said, gentlemen had talked of what had been done on former occasions by that Court. He would read to them an extract from the minutes in the year 1840. (He here read a motion for Tree trade which was male and lost, in favour of an amendment, part of which he read, but as he was about to stop, he was met by loud cries ' of " Read on, read on," and he thus proceeded with the amendment :—" Though aware of all these, yet that they felt it needless to pray that House as it is at present constituted.") —( Great laughter at the gentleman's mistake.) He (Mr. Jones) wished to be consistent himself, and he wished the Court to be consistent also. He for one could not petition for an immediate repeal. He knew something of both those classes which were concerned in the question, and he for one would not be a party to the law which sought the advantage of the one class and the oppression of the other. If Lord John Russell and his friends had, at a meeting held to take the matter into private consideration, come to the conclusion that it was impatic to interfere with the measures of Sir Robert Peel, why should that Court interfere ? If the Court would support Sir Robert he would go hand-in-hand with it. But it had been said, and there was ground for it, that the citizens were too busy with their interference in polities.—( Hear and laughter. ) A Commorr COUNCILMAN was anxious that the Court should not sanction the resolutions, but that they would adopt the amendment, for ho would be sorry, if they possessed any influence, to throw their influence into the scale, and by em barrassing Sir Robert Peel prevent the repeal of the corn l.otwahr uns e cl no corn aben t- eog l e rae did not see what advantage would derived from twhichiyt the el evil, the mi resolutions i He proposed,ea as hfuregihg tnf foreigners, t,mhaeecr,cieivawst accustomed nr e little ol the former system, and not trained to the change, would accept nothing but money in return for corn, which would cause a drain upon the Exchequer. Mr. Mortals said his lion. Friend had no objection to free trade, only he could not rid himself of a small portion of the old lumbering system. Therefore it was that he (Mr. Norris) was anxious to call the attention of the Court to that feature of the question, that in the petition they expressed themselves anxious as the representatives of the largest city in the world to give Parliament their support ; and in doing so, they in formed Parliament, they were desirous that their conduct and intention was not to embarrass Sir Robert Peel. His friend had said that no corn could be brought in at 4s. duty. Taking his statement as true, what was the effect? Why, that was the state of things the first year ; in the second year those who had corn were bribed by a four-shilling premium to keep it up.— ( Rear, hear.) They would do the same on the third year, and so it would accumulate, yielding no benefit for the time, and to deluge the market at the close of the period.--( Hear, hear.) It was all a delusion and a fear. Gentlemen would see that, if they looked back to the experiment that was tried on trade in 1642. When that experiment was in agitation, the same party in the State, the same party in the coun try, the same interest, cried out that great would be the ruin that would follow from the new tariff. Yet prices had been better from 1842 to 1845 than they had been for twenty years before. Alarmists, therefore, were only carrying out this principle in the present opposition. The question before the meeting was whether they would sup. port Sir Robert Peel's measures, or whether they would pe tition for immediate repeal. Since this new experiment had been advertised, no person, not even at any of the agricul- ' tural meeting!, had said one word in favour of this now fea ture of the measure. Agriculturists all said, rather take pro tection away at once and entirely. After some re:narks from another Councilman in favour of the petition, I Mr. Write rose to reply. He said he would not detain the Court long, but he wou'd notice one or two of the remarks which bad fallen from the mover ard seconder of the amendment. One of them said, "I am con• sistent, because on a former occasion I advocated a fixed duty." question before them now was very different from that alluded to. Then it was not for a repeal of the corn.laus ; it was a petiticn to the Queen for the opening of the ports, because a great part of that food, on which the people of Ireland, and of Scotland, and England depend was in a great measure destroyed. It was a wise and salutary movement that, on such an occasion. But if the gentleman would speak of his consistency, he (Mr. Wire) must say he too was consistent, and he loped the Court would preserve its consistency by passing the revolutions. In 18( 9he found, from the minutes of the Court, they then condemned the corn-laws, and why should they not go now ar.d request the present House of Commons to repeal them ? In 1840 he found them repeat the same opinion on free trade. He was sure his friend, Mr. Jones had not, read the whole of that minute before he began to quote it so much to the frustration of his own purprg.e. When had these laws been a benefit ? They had a Noble Lord standirg up in Parliament and declaring his experience of their effect ; he said he had sold corn under their reign at. from 50s. up to 705., and all the effect he had known to have been pro duced during that period on the condition of his labourers was, that their wages, from being Bs., had become 9s. Not withstanding that such a difference had occurred in the prices of food--(Hear, bear)—some of the gentlemen bad said that the present 15113 not the time for the resolutions. When they resolved to petition the Queen on the opening o the ports, they had done so under imperious necessity—( Hear, hear)—and that necessity was not lessened. He hoped that his Hon. Friends would be consistent with themselves, and, by adopting the resolution•, act promptly in a case which ad mitted of no delay. _ The RECORDEA read the amendment, and put it to the Court, but it was lost by a large majority. The resolutions for immediate repeal of the corn-laws, for the adoption of a petition to the House of Commons, and for the presentation of that petition by the Representatives of the City, were then rut and carried seriatum by a vast majority. ' Mr. Virus then moved that the resolutions should appear in all the morning and evening papers, which was accordingly passed. Mr. WIRE moved that the Recorder should be requested to support the petition in hii place in the House. This was received with shouts of laughter. When it had subsided, The RECORDBIL said he would do so when be was requested by his constituency. After s"me other business, the Court adjourned. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S—YESTERDAY.

TIMES.—The Money Market remains in the same unsatisfactory state as it respects commercial discounts, in consequence of the cer• tainly unexpected and unnatural state of things produced by the locking up of the railway deposits. As matters now stand, the dis count business of the country may he said to be literally under the control of the Bank of England, and for the first time since the pass ing of the Banking Acts has the principle come into practical opera tion. It is almost needless to say that this is a state of things for which the bankers throughout the country were not prepared, nor from the antecedent circumstances had they any right to expect it. It was universally concluded that'as soon as the railway deposits were passed to the Accountant-Gen ral, all the difficulty was got over, and that their immediate investment in public securities would restore the equilibrium that had for a short time been disturbed. Nobody seemed to anticipate that circumstances would arise to prevent the railway Committees from so investing their funds, and thereby laying the commercial interest prostrate at the discretion of the Directors of the Bank of England. However de sirous the Bank Directors may be to extend accommodation, as far as circumstances will justify them, it is utterly impossible that such a concentration can work satisfactorily throughout the country, sup posing they make use of all the appliances furnished them by their branches in the provinces. It is doubtful, however, if the Directors are in every instance exercising their immense power for the bcmfit of the community on an enlarged principle. We are given to under stand that the provisional committees of some of the railway Com panies have offered the Bank their deposits, at a rate of interest not exceeding 3 per cent., for six mouths certain, or even a shorter period, and that this offer Dm Directors have declined. New, as far as this goes, it would have removed all uncertainty about the Bank retaining the control of the money in point of time, and which uncertainty, without such an as surance, is ascribed as a cause for the Bank restricting their loans and discounts to such short periods as they have been hitherto doing. It Is true that yesterday and to-day the Directors have in some cases extended their accommodation on loan and discount to a month, instead of fourteen days; but that is too short a time to enable merchants to enter into the most ordinary engagements, and theresult is that all business is limited nearly to current consumption. The literal condition of the market is, that unless parties have credit with their bankers money is not to be obtained on any terms on long dated bills, dock warrants, &c., the discount houses that usually transact such business being completely at a stand-still. At the time the payment of the railway deposits was made, the banks of issue in the provinces had left themselves little room for further ex pansion, and the restrictions imposed by the Banking Acts preclude all relief from that source. The matter has indeed become so serious as to demand the immediate attention of Ministersrwho, to do them justice, could, no more than other persons, have a priori contemplated such a state of things, in the absence of all speculation in commercial Ries. commodi On Saturday last, Madame Celeste and Mr. Webster terminated a very successful engagement at Edinburgh, by playing some of their most popular pieces, for their joint benefit. The theatre was crowded to exces4, and at the close of the performance they were twice called before the curtain, an occurrence unprecedented in modern Athens. They are now performing at Carlisle, and on Monday next Aladame Celeste resumes her character of Mazourki, in Taming a Tartar, at the Adelphi, where she appears to greater advantage than in any other position. PEERS AND PARVENUS. — AIes. Gore's forthcoming novel is said to contain the parallel history of a young noble man, who, as Figaro says . , is fated " to have no trouble in the world but that of coming into it," and a young man of genius, doomed to struggle through the mortitications of a factitious state of society in addition to the real evils of life. The story is reported to be one of the deepest interest. rADVERTISEMENT.I—A.

SUNDAY TRADING.—At a meeting held in Lambeth parish yesterday evening, and presided over by the Rector, it was stated by Mr. Hayman and other members of the Committee ap pointed to prepare a Bill for the prevention of Sunday trading, that the Right Hon. the Home Secretary hid altogether disapproved of the Bill. He (Sir J. Graham) said he could not understand upon what principle the working man was to be refused his pipe of to bacco, his pint of beer, and the reading a newspaper on tke Sunday, the same as the higher classes. As the Bill went to prohibit those enjoyments, Ile certainly should not recommend it to have the sup ' • Port of the Government. . . ' DINNER IN AID of the GERMAN ROMAN CATHOLIC CHARITY AT THE LONDON TAVERN. This dinner came off last night with mr;ch eclat. The circumstance of the Queen Dowager being a munificent subscriber to the charity, coupled with that of the chair being taken this year by Daniel O'Connell, Esq., M.P., seemed to impart to the proceedings a con siderable importance. At about seven o'clock nearly 150 gentlemen sat down to dinner, and after the cloth was removed, and "Non Nobis Dwaine" sung-- _ The CHAIRMAN said—Gentlemen, in proposing the first toast I may guess that you cagily anticipate What it is I am about to say, and also that you will join with me in loyalty towards that most illus trious personage of the realm. Certainly, to look on her in a dis interested point of view, as the fond wife,—the tender mother—the amiable Sovereign, faultless and blameless, nay, her enemies know not where slander itself can assail her; her political enemies, if she has such, they cannot say that she has gone beyond the limits of sovereign authority. This In itself is sufficient for me to call on you to drink the health of "The Queen." Drank with nine times nine.— Air, " God save the Queen." The CHAIRMAN Gentlemen, the next toast that I am particularly j s o tr h i l fe ‘ , v called on to propose to you is that of Prince' Albert, the Prince of Wales, and the rest of the RoYal'Prunily. Every one of you will with me aloof' saying from Prince, allp . r % t y y )9rA poti i e u v e e s n — ag . e i amidst thet ain ia lc, political er respectful. As to the Prince Of ilWalesc' he is yet too young to eo much good, but he is to., its„. if in nothing else than the heir to the throne, as long as it pleases Providence to spare his life and the lives of the children of our Illustrious Queen he and they are our sure protectors from the ferocious crew that, in the event of their succession to the throne of these realms, must lead mankind back into anarchy. Gentlemen, •I give you, " Prince Albert, the Prince of Wales, and the ref t of the R o y al Family." Drunk with three times three. Air—" We hail thee, Prince Albert." The Cuantsras —Gentlemen, the next toast I give you is the health of the Emperor of Austria. Ile has particular claims on the people whose religious charity we have met to support. There are other gentlemen in this room who know what it is to possess fnedum— the freedom that the Emperor of Austria's subjects enjoy : I enter not into the politics of other German Princes—into the politics of those kings who strive by force, by violence, by anarchy, to destroy liberty of conscience—it is dear to every man In every clime, and as that Sovereign is the friend of liberty, I give you, "The Emperor of Austria and the rest of the German Sovereigns." Drunk with three times three. Air—Austrian March. The Rev. and Right Hon. Count Berzini said—Gentlemen, I can not but feel exceedingly delighted and surprised by hearing the name pronounced with such honour as you have done thrtt orthCriliperor of Austria, my respected sovereign, and his statue so spoken of in this great and respectable assembly, presided over by the most illus trious man, the Mr. O'Conneil of this and all future generations — illustrious, because his unparalleled merits in the cause of human liberty put him before all men of this and past ages ; fOr what has he not done for humanity and for his native country—for Ireland, which he loves so much. Gentlemen, lam an Hungarian—a mem bjr of the Chamber of Peers by right of birth. I want nothing but that which is conducive to that which I live for—the benefit of my fellow man, particularly of my poor native Hungarians. Allow me, with a heartfelt wish for your eternal welfare, to thank you for your philanthropic display to-night. As It is in Hungary, su in Ireland— we have moss-covered•hills, and our people from their summits shall pray for the religious as well as civil emancipation of the human race.—(Cheers.) The Client/tux—The next toast I have on my list is the " Catholic Bishop of London and his Clergy," who have been ever foremost in works of charity, without prejudice =without party influence. lie has ever exerted himself in the cause of common charity. Long may the Bishop of London and his clergy continue in such noble work in endeavouring to alleviate human suffering—in spreading the cause of charity, unpersecuted as well as unpensioned by any state. Their kingdom is of another world—a higher and a nobler aim. Gentlemen, I give you the " Catholic Bishop and Clergy of London." Drank with three times three. Here a letter of his Lordship's was read, inclosing a subscription of~l. The Rev. Mr. O'NEtt spoke to the toast at some length. After many other excellent speeches, and it being announced that with the donation of 251. from the Queen Dowager, 101. 10s. from another benevolent party, and a collection of 1261. made at the dinner, the Chairman retired about eleven o'clock. PRICE SD. lIIARKET - NE WS(THISDAY.) CORN EXCHANGE-FRIDAY. Although the arrivals of English Wheat for our market during the present week have been somewhat on the increase,. the show of sam ples was by no means large ; still, however, the demand for that article was very dull, at barely but at nothing quotable beneath Mon day's prices. The imports of Foreign Wheat have been rather - Milted. Selected parcels free of duty were held at very high rates, mt parcels under bond were almost nominal in• value. The Barley rade was in a very depressed state at, in some instances, a further Iceline in prices of Is. per quarter. The Malt trade was, again very lull, and the, secondary parcels ware selling at somewhat easier arms. Oats Were exceedingly heavy, at the late depression. Beans, and:FlOur a mere drug. ARRIVALS.

Notwithstanding the supply of Beasts here, to-day, was small, we have to report a very dull inquiry for Beef, at barely Monday's quotations. The number of foreign Beasts amounted to 213, and of foreign Sheep to 190, chiefly in good condition. With Sheep, from our own districts, we were again scantily supplied; yet the demand for them was heavy, and previous rates were with difficulty supported. Calves were in moderate supply, and dull Inquiry, at a decline in value of 4d. per 81bs. In Pigs, comparatively little was doing, at late rates. Mulch Cows were selling at from 16! to 18/ 15s ; Suckling Calves, 18S to 31s ; and Quartanold Store Pigs, 16s to 21s each. Beasts, 583; Cows, 143 ; Sheep, 3,040; Calves, 129 ; Pigs, 310. NEV/GAME AND 36E-ELDEINTIEBALL. Only a limited business was transacted here, and prices were barely supported. 230 HOUGH HOP PPLAUXET. • Although the transactions in all kinds of Slops during the present week have been by no means extensive, prices are pretty generally supported. The supply of Hops, in pockets, is small. HOUSE OF LORDS.-(THIS DAY.) Lord Brougham, Lord Cottenham, and Lord Campbell, sat in the House of Lords to-day, to hear Scotch appeals. MACPHERSON V. CRAICIE. The arguments were concluded on this appeal, and their Lordships postponed their judgnient. CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) The Lord Chancellor sat in Lincoln's Inn Hall to-day. The Master of the Rolls also sat with his Lordship, for the purpose of hearing the petition In the matter of Whiting, which, it will be recollected, re lates to the performance of the duties the clerks of the Master. We refrain from entering further into the case till the arguments are concluded on both sides. V I CE-CH ANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) The Vice-Chancellor of England was occupied the whole morning with unopposed petitions and short causes. EXCHEQUER.-(TIIIS DAY.) fittings after Term at Nisi Prins, Lefore the LORD CHIEF BARON and a Common Jury.) BATSON V. RICHARD. Mr. Watson, with Mr. Sniytbie, appeared for the plaiatiff,:and Mr, Jervis for the defendant. _ _ _ This was an action brought by plaintiff, the drawer of a bill of exchange, against defendant, who was the acceptor, and refused to honour it when it became due. The consideration given by plaintiff for tile acceptance was thirty tons of boiler plates, at . l3/. 10s. per ton. The defence set up was, that the plates Isere of inferior quality, and that they were not delivered at the proper time. SECONDARIES.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Secondary JAHES.) DROWN v. GOOCH. This was an action to recover the sum of 51., for money lent. The defendant pleaded that he was never indebted. ➢ir. HUGHES stated the case. The plaintiff is a licensed victualler in Philip-street, llexton, and in September last kept the Norfolk Arms, Norfolk•street, Edgeware-road. The defendant is a surveyor, &c., and had been In the habit of paying his men at defendant's house, and occasionally borrowing money, which was always repaid until the 6th of September last, when he borrowed Si. .0n being ap plied to for it sometime after, he at first said that he had repaid it to plaintiff's wife ; and on a subsequent occasion that he had paid it to kis daughter. The defendant's plea, however, did not support that assertion, as he had not ventured to show payment. It therefore was only necessary for the plaintiff to prove the loan to entitle hint to a verdict. John Bowen was then called, and distinctly proved that the money was advanced. The defendant's attorney said it would be wasting the time of the Court to contend against this evidence. His instructions were that the money had never been lent. The SECONDARY said the jury could hear the evidence of the appli cation for tke money, but no proof of payment could have been re ceived under the pleadings. The jury gave a verdict for the amount. This was the only cause On the list. BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Commissioner Ilot.novo.) IN RE CHAMBERS V. CHAMBERS. This morning a special meeting was held for the proof of debts under this estate of these bankrupts, who were bankers, in order that the creditors who had not already proved might participate in the dividend already, declared on the joint estate. The debts proved =bunted to 1,225, principally small balances of banking account. An application was made to the Learned Commissioner for a pli cate meeting to go through a variety of deeds and documents con nected with the assignment of debts to the amount of nearly 10,0001., as it appeared that, by some accident, a debt of 1,4001. had been omitted in some of the assignments, and a dispute had arisen as to who were the parties'entitled to the dividend on it. The Learned COMMISSIONER said that if the documents, or abstracts \ of them, were furnished to him, he would endeavour to come to a decision without putting the parties to the expense and inconveni ence of a meeting; as the debt had been admitted to proof, it would not interfere with the dividend.' The meeting then terminated. SOUTHWARK-.(THIS DAY.) Elizabeth. Nash, alias Challis, an old woman, was charged with being found drunk, and in the possession of a 40/. note and ten sove reigns, supposed to be stolen. A policeman of the 31 division stated that, on the preceding after noon, he found the prisoner lying drunk in the kennel, in St. George's circus. Iler pocket was outside her gown, and on searching it he found a 40/. note and ten sovereigns, tied up in a pleee of dirty rag. lie conveyed her to the station-house, and that morning, when she became sober, on accounting for the possession of the money, she said she found it on Monday, in Canonbury-square, Islington. When examined before the Magistrate she gave the same account, and said that she lived in Frying Pan-alley, Clerkenwell, and that being no scholar, she was ignorant as to the amount of the bank note. Mr. 'Mutt said that she ought, on finding the bank note, to have taken it to the station-house, and delivered it up to the Inspector— that she had acted a most dishonest part, and had now rendered her self liable to a charge of felony. The old woman began to cry, and said that she thought what people found in the streets they were entitled to, and that she only acted as she thought other people would have done, under similar circumstances. . TRAILL adjudged her to enter into her own recognizance to 'appear on Thu:sd.,y, and that probably by that time the owner would be found. PARLIAMENTARY BUSINESS.

LONDON AND GREENWICH RAILWAY.—(T HIS DAY.) The half-yearly meeting of this Company was held by the shareholders at the London Tavern. W. SHADBDI,T, Esq., took the chair at one o'clock, and introduced the business by calling on the Secretary to read the advertisement of the meeting, and afterwards the half year's report of the directors. The report stated that the proposal made at the last half-yearly meeting to pay off the mortgage securities, unless the holders agreed to accept 4, in stead of 5 per cent. interest, had been abandoned on account of the state of the money market ; that the sale to the Soutli-Eastern (Dover) Railway Com pany of the land not includ?d in the lease had been com pleted, and the purchase-money (18,0001.) received, which enabled the directors to liquidate the loan from the bankers of 15,000/. ; and that a dividend of 31. per share should be declared on the unprivileged shares, payable at the Com pany's offices after tLe Ist of March next, by which a balance should be left in favour of the Company of 2,1021. 9s. It was moved by the Chairman, and seconded by Mr. Josiah Wilson, that the report read should be received and adopted. The motion was carried unanimously. The retiring directors, Alderman Hughes, and W. Kennedy, Esq., were individually proposed for re-election, and elected accordingly. A SIIA3EHOLDER asked whether the business of the Com pany wes such as to require five directors? The CHAIRMAN said they had reduced the expenditure in every respect to the lowest possible amount, but he was sure if gentlemen knew the business that had to be transacted, they would not doubt the necessity of at least five directors. Alderman nucams said the Act required that number; if it had been possible to reduce it further, he, for one, would not hare been the last to withdraw. The CHAIRMAN, in answer to another question, said they had retained a balance in hand on account of their Parlia mentary expenses; but for these, they would have divided every shilling. The last half-year's dividend was 4s. 6d.; the amount of their rental on 36,000/. was ss. 9d.; and adding std. for an additional thousand every year till the tenth year, the shareholders would see what they had to expect. Mr. PARRY moved a vote of thanks to the directors, who he was sure had used every effort to reduce the expenditure. The meeting then unanimously passed a vote of thanks to the secretary and accountant, Mr. - Adron, and immediately after broke up. RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS. BRISTOL, FEB. 12.

SOUTH NOTTINGHAM ELECTION NEWARK, TIIIIRSDAY.—The High Sheriff of the county, Mr. T. D. Hall, having received the writ, proclamation has been made, and the nomination of candidates for this election will take place on Satur day, the 20th of February instant, at the Town-hall. Through his agent, Mr. Winter, the Duke of Newcastleis using every exertion to ensure the return of Mr. Hildyard as a Member favourable to pro tection. At Southwell, and at Bingham, there is much opposition to Lord Lincoln, whereas at Carlton, Calverton, Woodb)reugh, and other adjacent village's, the electors are resolved upon supporting his Lordship. About noon, the Earl of Lincoln, accompanied by several personal friends, repaired to the Town-hall, where a large concourse of people had assemb'ed. Having stepped forward to address the meeting:. Lord LINCOLN, said, he. readily availed himself of that opportunity (the first sine the publilltion of his address) to express to them, as their late representative, his.honest sentiments upon the great ques tion now agitating, the country. He was ready to vindicate the course he had deeniedft hfs 'fluty to ptirfme, and he would appeal to them whether, under all the circumstances of the case, he had not acted for their welfare, and the interests of the country at large (Hear.) He was willing, at any time, to speak at length on the proposed measures of Government, but he thought it would be a more fitting opportunity, when the electors should be assembled at the hustings, for the purpose of nominating their candidates. With re ference to the manner tin which he had recently vacated his seat, in Parliament as representative for that division of the county, he wished to say a few words. Had he consulted his feelings he should have accepted the Chiltern Hundreds, and appealed to the general body of the electors, but from a sense of duty, lie made a great sacrifice of his personal feelings, and declined that course. The office he now held having been offered to him in a few days after wards, he considered the acceptance of it a legitimate opportunity to appeal to the electors, and he rejoiced in the occasion. He regretted that Mr. Hildyard, as be was a young man unknown to the consti tuency, was Lot then present, since he (Lord Lincoln) would now ,have no opportunity of hearing his opponent's senti ments upon the great subject at issue until they met upon the hustings, and then not until he himself had expressed his cwn senthnents. He believed Mr. Hildyard to be an honourable man, but at the same time he considered he was nn acquainted with public business, and particularly the great business he was intending to go into Parliament to transact.—(Hear.) Though lie knew Mr. Hildyard, as he had said, to be a very honourable man, he did not consider it fair in him to state, as he had done In his ad dress, that "a vacancy had occurred by the resignation of Lord Lin coln." This, in his Lordship's view, was not fair, when they knew that he was coming again ; and he appealed to the meeting, as Eng lishmen, if they considered it honourable on the part of his opponent thus to misrepresent him.—(Loud cries of "No, it is not.") There were other attacks by Mr. Hildyard, of - which he did not approve. That gentleman had announced that " certain " influential landowners were against his Lordship, when such was not correct. He would read an extract from a letter he had received from a large landed proprietor in the neighbourhood, whom he highly esteemed and respected as an excellent man, who had been stated to be against him. lie should not announce his name, but in his letter he writes—" that he is so satisfied with Lord Lincoln's conduct and principles, that he most anxiously hopes he will be returned again as the Member for South Nottinghamshire."— (Applause.) 'lbis gentleman had been represented by his opponents as being opposed to his election.—(Hear, hear.) A member of the Protection Saciety here Interrupted the noble speaker, but the latter having requested him to desist until his re marks were concluded, Lord LINCOLN continued. He would have shrunk from appearing before the electors that day, had he not been convinced that the course be had adopted was right; and had he shrunk from giving his opinions he would never have shown his face &gain.— (Applause.) lie had been told that those opinions were not his own, and that lie had yielded to the opinions of Sir R. Peel. He had no hesitation in speaking highly of the great and superior talents and judgment of Sir R. Peel, and to express his flip belief that in everything Sir R. Peel did he acted conscientiously, and from thorough conviction for the good of his country ; but he, at the same time, would say that the sentiments he (Lord Lincoln) enter tained were his own, and that his opinions had not been changed in deference to Sir Robert Peel's.— (Applause.) His own change had been effected by the silent process of conviction of mind. The Government was not about to deal with the corn-laws alone, they were not sacrificing one interest for another, but they were dealing with all alike. Protection will be taken from all, and his conviction was that from all the circumstances of the country and the world, all parties will be better without protection than with it. —(Applause.) The Government believed the manufacturer of woollen cloths and other fabrics will be better without protective laws, and they call upon the agriculturists as well as the manufac turers to give up all protection.— (Hear, hear.) With regard to the farmers, he believed that the protection they had enjoyed of late years had not operated in the least degree to benefit them as a class, and that to continue it would be prejudicial to their interests than they could conceive.—(Hear, hear.) He trusted the electors would not reject him, after they had heard him ; but should they do to, he would tell them, that the measures of Government would still be carried No election would have any effect upon these measures, which he would venture to predict would be carried in the House of Commons in the course of the present week—(Applause)—.and further, by a majority of upwards of 100.— (Applause.) The tide of opinion had set in, and it could not be stayed.—((;ries of " Bravo," and applause.) He warned the electors not to believe that the body of men whom they respected and whom he respected, he meant the Peers of this kingdom, would throw out the Bill sent up from the House of Commons, as lie was convinced they would do us such thing.—(Hear, hear.) Day by day, he could assure the electors, the Peers in all directions, and the large landed proprietors of the kingdom, were sending in their adhesion on this point, and their promises of support to the Government.—(Applause) If they could by possibility stem the torrent for a moment, it would return with redoubled force. If they should reject the measures, they would have to engage in a much fiercer contest, as the Corn law League, the manufacturing districts, and the industrious classes of the country would all unite, and with the protective societies in opposition, one great and mighty struggle with leagues and clubs of every description would ensue ; and the most fearful results must ineviably follow. The country would be convulsed from one end to the other, industry would be stifled, and political agitation would extend througtout the land.—(Hear, hear.) He begged once more that the electors, would not promise their votes against him till the day of nomination when he should be heard, and they would have an opportunity of judging which of the two candidates was most fit to be their representative. Until he heard the sheriff declare that Mr. I I ildyard was their Member, lie should never believe that they hail rejected lilm.—(Applause.) A Volue.—.‘ I hope heaven will reject them if theydo you." Lord LINCOLN said he should be in Newark on Wednesday next, and should be ready to explain any roint the electors might wish. Ile would say farewell ; but he prayed they would not pledge them selves agains him till he had done everything to explain himself; and, having done this, he hoped, at the end of tile second day's poll, lie should be returned as their representative.—(Applause,) Several questions were asked by the person who had previously interrupted, a Mr. Chouler, and these having been severally and fully answered by Lord Lincoln, his Lordship and friends returned to their committee-room, and the meeting dissolved. A RAILROAD ON FIRE.—The wooden viaduct of the South Devon Railway at Cockwood, about eleven miles from Exeter, narrowly escaped destruction by fire on Wednesday morning. The workmen had lighted a fire on the viaduct to heatisome pitch, when, In neglecting to attend to the pitch pot, the contents boiled over and ran down the line, setting the timber of the structure in a blaze. For a limo it was feared, from the intensity of the flame, that the entire work would be destroyed, and an engine:was directly dis patchedi to Exeter for the aid of the fire engine. In the:course of half an hour it returned with an engine in a truck behind, and after some difficulty the fire was subdued. LATE HOURS OF BUSINESS.— Last night a public meeting, called at the instance of the Metropolitan Drapers Associa tion, for the abridgment of the hours of labour by the early closing of shops, took place in the Music-hall, Store-street, Bediord-square. B. B. Cabbell, Esq., was in the chair, and resolutions in accordance with the objects of the meeting were passed unanimously. AN UNEXPECTED VISITOR.—We have received the following particulars from Messrs. Graham (late Everington and Graham), of Ludgate-hill :—" A most extraordinary circumstance has just taken place.

DORSET. The following address has been issued by Lord Ashley:— TJ THE GENTRY, CLERGY, AND OTHER ELECTORS OF THE COUNTY "Gentlemen,—Since I had the honour of addressing you on the 31st of January last, I have been informed that several gentlemen of the county of Dorset, owners and occupiers of land, have requested two of their body to come forward and fill the vacancies caused by the resignation of myself and Mr. Sturt. They have also engaged to advance very large contributions towards the support of the candidates. " Now I am not ashamed to avow that it will be impossible for me to sustain the expense of such a contest ; and I hasten, therefore, to relieve my hon. opponents from the necessity of incurring any pecu niary responsibilities, by announcing that, although I shall be present at the nomination, I shall not demand a poll. " I am, Gentlemen, your very obedient and faithful AsezaLnky. " Loudon, Feb. 12, 1846." .---------,-_ DUTCH States- GeneralMAlL received—l.

The Government had at first flat tered itself that the exemptions might be incorporated in a more general commercial conventiol: ; but circumstances having delayed the conclusion of such p convention, the Government considers that a longer state P f uncertainty might be injurious to our commerce in Russia.
