SECOND EDITION. v Ay-Mt INDON, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1846 The LORD CHANCELLOR took his scat on the Wool sack at Five o'clock. Lord BEAUMONT asked a question with respect to the detcntion of a gentleman named Graham by the Sar dinicen Government, notwithstanding his passports were regular. Tthe Dal of ABERDEEN EXplak:ed that the detention had taken place in consequcncf a mistake, and that be thought there was no necc e ss o ity for his demanding any pecuniary indemnity. Lord BEAUMONT asked if any apology had been made by the Sardinian Government? no T n h e e Earl of ABERSEEN believed that th ere had been judging from the style of Mr. GRAHAM'S eommunication, he thought it was unlikely the Sardinian Governmentculd be inclined to make an apology , which, unde r ot h er circumstances, they might hay:. done. The EARL of Dayttorsis then rose to draw the atten tion of their Lordships to the railway resolutions riF4lhich he had laid o n th e table last night. The ,Ai t iillewighthe other House had recommended /s - --...... thsi NFtWltti. session . a certain portion of rail. Z.., -7 1, --- tra t ir,4l)lotil t s tz, be initiated in their.

The Noble Earl th,pn went into a history of the standing orders of both Houses in relation to the per centage required to be paid up on the de posits, before the Bill could be entertained. The House of Lords required a payment of ten per cent.—the House of Commons a payment of five per cent. Now, in order to facilitate the transaction of business, the Committee recommended that for a payment of five per cent. the Bill might be admitted, provided the deposit had been made on t he 6th of February, but that they should not be admitted to a third reading until an additional five per cent. should be paid; this would place them nearly in the same position which they would have occupied if they had bean originally intro duced into the House of Commons. This propo sition gave no encouragement to railway projects, nor did it remove any obstacles which had been interposed by the measures of lest session With regard to measures which had passed last session in the Commons, and w hich had been dropped in the House of Lords, it was proposed that they should pass the Commons pro fonnii, and come before the Lords immediately, and that competing projects should be per mitted to originate in the Lords. The Noble Lord concluded by moving a resolution founded on the report of the Committee. Lord IiONTEAGLE considered that the proposed alters tion would have the effect of greatly benefiting the Irish labourer, by bringing the railway works in that country into earlier operation. lie would suggest the propriety of permitting the promoters of rail way Bills to prove their compliance with the standing orders simultaneously before b. th Houses —a better course still would be, by bringing them before some tribunal before the meeting of Parliament, the report of such tribunal to he laid before both Houses on the meeting of Parliament. He also thought that the promoters of railway projects should bs permitted to make the deposits in public securities as wall as in money. The Earl of STEADBROKE urged the necessity of giving precedence to Bills connected with the south of Ireland, as the distress there was most imminent. The resolutions were then put and agreed to. Lord PENMAN brought in a Bill to give the courts 01 law power to mitigate penalties in criminal cases. Lord BEAUMONT gale notice, that some day next week he would move for a Select Committee to consider the peculiar burdens affecting landed property. Lord CAMPBELL s uggested that, as some railway Bills were to originate in the House ef Lords, it might be ex pedient that the Government should originate some of their own measures also in the 'louse of Lords. The Duke of WELLINGTON would take care that the suggestion should be cai ried_ to the proper quarter. After a few words from the LORD CHANCELLOR, complimentary to Lord CAMPBELL on his recent pub lication, which proved that he knew how to employ his eisure with advantage to the public and an acknow- Rdgetnent of the compliment from Lord CAMPBELL, Their Lordships adjourned. The House met at Four o'clock. This was the last day for receiving cetitions on private Bills, and in conse quence a vast number of petitions were presented lbr and against railway Bills. . Sir JOHN YARDE BULLER brought up the report of the Belfast and . County Down Railway and Newry and Warrenpoint Railway Bills, reporting that the standing orders had been complied with, and leave was given to bring in both the Bills. • A new writ fur the eastern division of the county of Suffolk was ordered in the room of Lord HEN:alien, who had accepted the Chiltern Hundreds. Lord GRANVILLE SOMERSET then proceeded to call the attention of the House to the first Report of the Seltct Committee on railway Bills. The Noble Lord believed that by originating Irish Bills in the House of Lords the best results would be effected. Mr. F. FRENCH did not believe there would be any advantage to Irish Bills by having them originated in the Lords; on the contrary, he thought it would con duce to the passing of Irish measures to originate the English ones in the other House. Mr. BEnNAL believed that the proposition of originat ing some railway Bills in the House of Lords was good, but he thought in preferring Irish and Scotch Bills great injustice might be done to the English measures. He did not think that any party would consider the report of the Committee a great boon. It was a fallacy to suppose that such a proposition would supply the rants of the poor of Ireland. The first consideration for the Committee was to see if they could not adopt a less dilatory proceeding in Committees with respect to rail way Bills than at present existed. The O'CoNoR Dux believed that the suggestion of the Committee to give precedence to Irish Bills would be productive of the best effects, as 'its adoption would give employment to the Irish labourers at their own doors, which they so much wanted. Mr. AGLIONBY thought the best course to be adopted would be to allow those Irish meaairea to commence in the House of Lords that would be benefited by so doing, but not to compel all Irish railway Bills to commence there, if with greater success they could be proceeded with in the House of Commons. Sir G. CLERK said the adoption of the suggestion of the Hon. Member for Cockermouth would be attended with the greatest injustice to competing lines. After some observations from Mr. Ross, Mr. GREENE, Mr. W. COLLETT trusted that in bona fide measures some course would be adopted to facilitate their pro ceeding through the House. Mr. BECKETT DENISON thought that if some of the suggestions of the report were to be adopted, the greatest injustice would be inflicted upon those measures that had undergone the ordeal of the House of Commons, and had been stopped in the House of Lords by the termination of the session. These observations were particularly applicable to the London and York Railway. Mr. WARD could nut see the juqice of the remark of the lion. I‘.l. mber fur Leeds. He thought the House of L•:rds ought to have the measure competing with the London and York before it ere it decided in favour of eny one of them. Lord G. SOMERSET was convinced the public would be benefited by the a•loption of the report of the Com mittee. Sir 11. W. BAußox denied that employment would be given. immediately to the p; (hie of Ireland by passing Irish railroads, because nothing could be effectually done before August next. After some further discussion, the report was agreed to. Mr. BusrrELD brought in the Leeds and Bradford Railway Bilk, which were read a first time. Mr. PHILP MILES gave notice that he should, on Monday, on the order of the day being read for the House going into Committee on the resolutions proposed by Sir ROBERT PEEL, on the subject of our commercial policy, move as an amendment that the House do resolve itself into such Committee that day six months. Mr LABOUCIIERE reminded the First Lord of the Treasury of his promise to answer the question whether the Governments of Spain and Brazil had taken any steps of a retaliatory nature in consequence of the differential duties imposed en the sugars. Sir R. PEEL said that in January, 1810, the Brazilian Government had imposed certain differential duties on the products of those nations which did Rot admit their sugars at the same duty as those of the most favoured nations, but as yet they had not acted on those powers. The House adjourned at Seven o'clock. son, &c. This unanimity at such a crisis is of the greatest lm' MEETING OF THE LIBERALS. (THIS DAY.) A very numerously attended meeting of Liberal Members was held this forenoon at Lord JOHN Rus snnn's house, in Chesham-place, to consider the course to be taken in the approaching discussions on Sir Ro- BERT PEEL'S proposals. We understand that Lord JOHN RUSSELL addressed the meeting, pointing out the danger to the measure that might arise from an amendment in Committee for immediate repeal of the corn-laws, which might be supported by the protectionists, for the purpose of throwing a difficulty in Sir ROBERT PEEL'S way, and, being car ried by a majority combined of free-traders and protec tionists, might calve Sir R. PEEL to throw up the measure. We are told that the most perfect unanimity prevailed as to the necessity of the Liberal party doing everything in their power to pass that part of Sir R.PEEL'S PEELS measure which concerns corn as quickly as pos sible, and in thinking that, though immediate free trade in corn would be preferable to its fulfilment in February, 1849, still it tsould not be right, under present circum stances, to risk the slightest delay in passing Sir ROBERT PEEL'S measure by an amendment for immediate repeal. The Members began to assemble at twelve, and the meeting broke up shortly ralmbefore eoristteo.n, Sir Amo George g e tho ge se w h o attended wer e Lord Mr. DSacaulay, r M t h r F.

But it was only what might have been ex pected; any other line of policy would be inexpedient and dangerous. The whole force of the Liberal party must support Sir ROBERT PEEL in bis present difficulties, they must keep the main point in view, and not play into the hands of their enemies by differing about trifles. The Minister has conceded more than ever was expected ; he deserves, therefore, the unanimous support of the whole Liberal party throughout the country, and the vote of every Member who advocates the removal of one of the most grievous burdens that ever afflicted a community. Every Member who would reject repeal, because it is delayed for three years, ought to be regarded as an enemy to the cause: When men engaged in a good cause la►y down propo- sitions which they consider grounds for their motives of action, they generally alduco proofs to confirm their assertions. They do not call upon the pnblie to take all their principles as axioms, but def_nd their case by legitimate reasoning, and leave their antagonists the opportunity of refuting them. The very opposite course is pursued. by the party who advocate restrictive and prohibitive laws in reference to the importation of foreign grain. For instance, they affirm as facts beyond doubt, that the repeal of the corn-laws will lower the rank of our peasantry, an I throw thousands upon thousands of acres out of cultivation. But here they stop. No problem or proposition follows—conclusion there is none—the words "which was to be demonstrated' are not to be found in their vocabulary, and for the best reason in the world, that evidence would destroy their theory. The question then naturally arises—what has protection done for the English or Irish peasantry? Are they superior in comforts to those of France, or olland, or Germany, or to the peasantry of an, civilised country in Europe ? Men, with large families, are 'doomed to live on Bs. a week, they are denied the use of butcher's meat, they can erijoy only bread and water, their children have barely rags to cover their nakedness, and the mothers are often half famished, by depriving themselves of food to hush the cries and allay the hunger of their starving children. The country is studded over with workhouses, and some six or seven millions sterling a year are expended in sheltering and feeding those who cannot provide for themselves. In Ireland the case is infinitely worse. Every humane mind shudders at the recital of Irish mis:ey, and all foreigners unite in describing the people of that beautiful island as the most wretched on the Lee of the earth. But if protection were worth any thing—above all, if it really was productive of those blessings which such men as the Duke of ilacuseoND and Sir JOHN TYRRELL claim for it—lreland should be the best cultivated country in the would, and the "Green Isle" a visible and real Utopia—a Paradise in this sublunary region, and a model for all lands. It enjoys the Ix nefit of the corn-laws to their full extent ; wheat cannot be imported at present at a duty less than 15s. the quarter ; oats and b 'Hey in proportion ; t rejoices in the sliding-scale like England, and is, there fore, saved frcm the effects of ruinous competition with foreigners. But, besides this great boon, it has ex emptions of an extraordinary kind.. Neither landlords nor tenants are subject to the property and income-tax ; they know nothing of assessed taxes, and till within the last few years the people never saw a workhouse or paid a penny of pew-rate. The Government pays one-half of the police expenses—a largo army is maintained in the country, supplied with provisions and other neces saries from the productions of the land or tho manufac tures of the country—church rates, and other rates are of the most moderate description ; yet with all these protective laws and exemptions from bur dens, Ireland is not half cultivated ; some four millions of the inhabitants are on the brink of starvation ; men that cannot obtain employment or gain a liveli heocl by honest means traverse the country in, bands, murdering and plundering the industrious, and nothing, in short, but a large military and constabulary force prevents a universal outbreak, and a total dissolution of the social system. Such are the blessings of protection. The country where it prevails to the utmost extent has become the reproach of England and a byword among nations. But for the extensive manufactures carried on in Great Britain, and viewed with such jealousy by the blind protectionists, affairs would be still worse ; fur the operatives engaged in these great national undertakings, not only increase the demand for agricultural pro ductions td an incalculable extent, and throw new land into cultivation, but they also dray.- large supplies from the sister island ; yet, even here the land is badly cultivated, for no other reason that can be assigned by impartial ob servers but this miserable delusion called protection. The farmers have long reckoned that the corn-laws would give them something like a fixed price of from 565. to 664. the quarter for wheat ; they have cultivated the soil upon this security, and though the delusion has been fading away year after year, they still live in hope, and will not exert themselves, like the other industrious classes, of tho community. The Duke of SUTHERLAND, who knows the difference between the agricultural systems pursued in England and Scotland, admits that in Eng lend great improvements are required, and affirms that the Scotch landeweers, from the spirit of activity and enterprise which they have long displayed, will not endanger themselves by conceding at once the repeal of the corn-laws. Scotland is comparatively a poor and a barren country. And what , then, has enabled the farmers there to compete with those of England and Ireland ?—Not protection, but ne cessity. And till the English are compelled "to be up and doing," like their brethren in the north—till they trust to their own industry and inventions, instead of leaning on a broken reed—all the protection that can be devised will neither improve the condition of the peasantry nor throw one acre of laud into new mid ration. It has long been a doubtful paint among thinking men, whether the Vol. of insanity in Criminal cases ought to be left to the decision of an ordinary petit jury, and the result of the trial of Captain JouNsToNE yesterday will go far to settle the question in the negative. We w not g) into the details of the crimes of this man. Our readers have, no doubt, been horrified by the perusal of the evidence given at the Thames Police- court, and at the Central Criminal Court against him— evidence which proves beyond the shadow of a doubt that he was guilty •of three delibe rate murders under circumstances of the most atrocious cruelty—that in every instance he tortured his victim before murdering him—and that there were many others of his crew whose lives he attempted, all of whom he wounded, and many of whom he has maimed for life. The counsel for the defence admits that JOHNSTONE was guilty of these crimes, and then proceeds to suggest to the jury that he must have been labouring under temporary insanity at the time he did so commit them. This is a suggestion merely, for not a single witness was called to prove what had been the state of mind of the prisoner at any former period of his life; and Mr. JERVIS himself (JoHNsToses counsel) distinctly admits that at the pre sent moment his client is perfectly sane, so that the ,moment really amounts to this, that the atrocity of a crime shall be its excuse : commit murder simply and you will be hanged ; commit murder, accompanied by every • possible species of atrocity—torture your victim before you dispatch him—hack, hew, and stab his murdered corpse, and your counsel will suggest that it is impossible any but a mad man could be guilty of such atrocities, and an Old • Bailey jury, acting on the suggestion, will acquit you on the ground of insanity. On this principle GIIEENACRE should have been acquitted, because he mutilated the belly of his victim after having murdered her. The L awned Gentleman, in hisalefence of JOHNSTONE, in si Inated that the crew were aware that they had been guilty of the mutiny, or that otherwise they would have attempted to have put JOHNSTONE under restraint. Suppose they had restrained him, would not that in itself have been an act of mutiny? Would not every rani who had made the attempt have done so with a r , Te round his neck? Wculd not the fact of their having a tempted to restrain him have justified, in the eye of the law, all JOHNSTONE'S previous proceedings, and would not every individual of that crew have been tried and convicted of—aye, and perchance executed for — mutiny, on 'the evidence of JOHNSTONE himself, so soon as the ship should have arrived in any port? Be it re membered, too, that these men in such a case could not possibly have produced evidence to show the neces• sity of placing this man under restraint. As soon as he arrives in England he becomes sane, ac cording to Mr. JERVIS'S own showing ; and al though a mere suggestion of insanity from a counsel , without any evidence to support it, is considered by a jury sufficient to justify them in acquitting a cap tain charged with the murder of three of his crew, we doubt whether the same jury would so readily admit a similar suggestion as a justification for an acquittal of a crew charged with mutiny against a captain. • That the crew took no measures to restrain the captain, that they submitted patiently to his tyranny, and that, ' notwithstanding all the tortures so wantonly in flicted on them, they brought the ship with her valuable lading to her port in safety, are facts which to our minds prove to demon stration that there never had existed on the part of the crew the least intention to mutiny, and we think that the evidencQ goes to show that the whole story of the mutiny was a story trumped up by the captain as a justification of his excesses. The forcing the men to sign the false entry in the log is put down by Mr. JERVIS to the account of that cunning which always accom panies madness. But what does he say to the :*act of the captain having navigated his vessel in safety to Fayal, and from Fay al to England ? Could a madman—that is to say, a man incapable of distinguishing right from wrong (for such only are entitled by law to be acquitted on the ground. of insanity)—could a madman have done this ? At all events, there must have been a marvellous method in his madness. Never has there been a verdict given more contrary to evidence, and we trust that this case, fortu nately unconnected with politics, and, therefore, a case to which all our legislators and juris-consults can apply their minds without prejudice, will have the effect of drawing the attention of the Legislature to the subject, so that some remedy may be provided for this crying es il. The task of providing this remedy, as it strikes us, is by no means a difficult one. We would suggest that, in all criminal cases in which it is intended to set up the plea of insanity, the question of insanity• should be tried and deci(led on substantively before the trial of the in- dictment ; or, perhaps it might be better still, to have it argued on demurrer, taking care, however, tbat such. I demurrer should not be cmsidered as admitting ; the truth of the crime charged, •so as to deprive the prisoner of the right, to have the case investigated, thus leaving it to the Judges to decide the validity of the plea. At all events we woull suggest the propriety of enacting, that in no case shall the plea of insanity be considered as proved unless it shall be shown either that the prisoner had been, before the commission of the crime, under restraint as an in sane person, or that measures had been taken b: - fore the commission of the crime to place him under. such re straint ; or that, on being brought up to plead, it shall he evident to the Court, after heiring medical evidence, that the prisoner is at that moment in such a state of mind as to be unfit to undergo a trial. Happily for some thousands of our fellow countrymen, both Huuses oF Parliament, yesterday, aequiewed in the suggestions contained in the first report of the Select Committee• on Railways, to which suggestions, in our last, we made particular allusion. With the intention of so far facilitating matters as to open fresh channels for the speedy employment of the destitute labourers on the other side of St. George's Channel, the Peers have de ferred their opinion in some measure to the system of action adopted in, railway proceedings by the Commons, . . without however iu the smallest deg:se comproMi:.-ivg Lf it own pre-expressed judgment. By the arrangcraent Ist cuncluded the different amount of per tentage re- quired by the two Houses to be paid upon deposits before a Bill could be entertained,--natuely, ten per cent. by the Lords, and fivo per cent. by the Commons—have been very judiciously modified by the former in order to accord with the regulations of the latter, and meet, at the same time, the ex traordinary exigencies of the moment. In this manner it is resolved that before the first reading one-twentieth only will be r, quis:te, and before tho third rtading another twentieth, a resolution which amounts, in the end, to the original plan of operation. In expressing our most earnest sathifact:on at the promptitude which is thus evidenced by the Legislature, and its manifest anxiety to ameliorate the fearful and de: prate condition of the industrious clasies in Ireland,. we aro more especially desirous of repudiath g the ilisinuation, and of particularising the uttered by Mr. BERNAL. What peculiar " unfitness "or " in justice" there can be in giving priority to Irish railways we cannot, by the utmost ingenuity of reasoning, dis cover. A remarkable debility exhibits itself in one portion of our political constitution ; that portion is Ireland. Restoratives, or rather tonics and sAiinulants of a powerful description, are necessary to amend that unnatural debility, and to i fuse new vigour into the emaciated part—to replace lassitude by nervous energy. For this purpose, no sane Government would surely direct the operation of those tonics or of those stimulants equally to the comparatively strong as to the positively weak portions; but would rather, by every means within their capacity, endeavour to animate with its pristine power the part so deteriorated and decayed. It would be a sin gular mode of rescuing the inhabitants of Drog heda from their foodless and helpless con dition to offer a plentiful supply of provisions in the furthest limits of Yorkshire or of Westmoreland, and, nevertheless, this would be tantamount to the pro position in question, namely, that by a priority. nf Eng lish an.l Scotch railways, the Irish labourers would re ceive the readiest amount of assistance. Perhaps, in refutation of this singular argument, it will be sufficient to make two simple observations ; first, that a person incapable of procuring sustenance in his own immediate neighbourhood is not very competent to undertake the risks and expense:, of a long journey; and, secondly, that the originetors'of any railway would prefer the comparatively insignificant outlay of hiring workmen in their vicinity to the some what costly mode of obtaining "bands" from a very considerable distance. Schemes for the instanta neous relief of our Irsh brethren must be neither dubious nor inferential; the unhappy populac, of that island must have no ei nuos iti es t o t rac k out no labyrinths to penetrate, before arriving at the boon which is to give them a chance of labour, of food, and of life. Their E pules and mattocks must be called into use upon the very earth adjoining their ho vels; the bushels of Indian corn or measures of maize, with which their bodily labour is to be recom. peesed, must be heaped out upon their thresh. holds. The compact in this case must be simple : home-work for home. bread ; toil upon their native sod for a crust. Mr. BERNAL stated that " what the people of Ireland wanted at this moment n as food, and not railways to Galway or the south." As an aphorism this is correct enough ; the ultimatum of tie Irish wish is indubitably " food and not railways," bet then the food they desire is not the food of beue volence or charity ; their demands are just and honest so . i such wages fir so much manual labour —no more. Largesse, or the metings-out of generosity, are not what they require—they ask nut for a gratuity, but for employment. And, as among the most reasonable means of affording than that cm ployment, we regard the present facilitation of local railway Bills with peculiar pleasure, since, from thi, very depression and impotence of the multitude, may arise their more rapid and permaeent improve ment, and that out of the grave of penury may be exhumed the benignant spirit of regeneration. On Wednesday next Mr. O'CONNELL will bring before Parliament the terrible minutia: of famine and disease which now threaten to decimate the ranks of his fellow-countrymen. And with these melancholy details we would fain anticipate some still further incitement will be administered to the Executive department, se that the measures taken by Government with reference to Ireland may be neither relaxed nor delayed. Madrid journals of the 30th ult. have been received. Most of them advert to the Speech of the Quren o' ENGLAND, praise the liberal measures to whia it refers, and consider they will be of great importance to Spain. The father of General NARITALZ, the Conde DE CANADA ALTA, died on the 28th. The Funds were more firm. The Three per Cents. closed at 32; for cash, and 321 at sixty days; and tl e Fives at 231 for the same time. The Paris papers are almost entirely occupied with the discussions in the Chamber of Deputies, and com ments on the amendments. They are in general, how ever, destitute of interest. The last subject was the ex re:lido-A to Madagascar, and in ansn er to questions from several Members, Admiral MACKAU said, in the arrangements made with England, the rights of Franc( had been reserved, but that there was no idea at present of forming an establishment on the island. The objects of the expedition were to chastise the natives for in juries committed on French settlers, to explore the coast, and extend the influence cf France in that quarter. It was possible that England might take part. in the expedition, but at the same time it was fitted out so as to act alone. Some Members objected to such an expedition, which would cost some 8,000,200 f., and was intended for no practical purposes. Ultimately an amendment suggested by M. I)'ANGE VILLE, a supporter of the Government, and to the follow ing effect, was adopted :—" France does not refuse to make the sacrifices imposed upon her by such great in terests, but she reposes with c onfidence on the prudence of the Government that it will not multiply, without a well ascertained necessity, those serious and distant ex peditions." M. ST. PRIEsT gave notice of an amend ment recommending the reduction of interest on Five per Cent. Stock. The following remarks on the posi tion and prospects of the French in Africa appear in the Journaldes Debati ; they fully admit the difficulties caused by the indefatigable perseverance and skill of ADD-EL KADER:— " The situation of Algeria, without ceasing to be grave, and to call for serious atter.tior, has at last ceased to inspire uneasiness. Considerable reinforcements were sent from France with remarkable celerity immediately after the disas ters of Sidi-B ra h m i n an d Ain-Temottehen. ° 'The army found itself in a condition to contend against an almost general in surrection, and to keep it under, if it was not able to sup press it entir e ly. The native tribes, who had been excited to delirium by the intoxication produced by the two above named disasters, no longer think that the last hour of French domination has come, -and they are beginning to return to submission, on seeing that all the calamities of war are again about to fall on them. But Abd-el-Kacler is there to inter- pose with energy obstacles to the difficult task of our nume rous columns, defeating the best combinations, reviving the fanaticism of the Arabs, appointing Khalifas to organise war against us, terrifying by executions and merciless razzias the tribes who have not yet taken part in the revolt, and who have been left exposed to his sudden attacks. Twice already has the Emir penetrated into the interior part of the culti vated portion of the country, and been able to pass through it without obstacle, although flying before our troops; he was Come up with only once, and that by an exhausted cavalry, which was unable to execute anything decisive. Now, for the third time, he leaves the desert after a feignel retreat, •and menaces the province of Titteri, which borders on that of Algiers. The last accounts announce, in fact, that Marshal Bugeaud was about to proceed to Boghar with a portion of the disposable troops, to check the bold attempts of the Emir on that side. The recent disaster of the column of Constantina in the mountains of Bou-Taleb, has not been without influence over this new enterprise of the Emir, for after this cruel event Med.esh night have been uncovered. In fact, Lieutenant General Badeau, commandant of the province of Constantine, who gave his useful.co-operation to the Marehal with the column of Setif, commanded by Ge neral D'Arbouville, was to return with this column to the province, to fill up the blank occasioned by the miss hors de combat of a column which has lost 1,200 muskets, and has 1 half its men in the hospitals. Abd-el-Kaderjudged that the moment was favourable to menace us towards the centre of our possessions, and, as a first success, he has ruined the I lthamans, a tribe on the skirt of the desert, which had sub mitted to us, and which even habitually sent its goums to assist us in our expedition in the south. The three attempts of the Emir against the interior were evidently with a view of penetrating in the province of Algiers, and there accom plish a sudden and rapid invasi , ei ' not, without doubt, witli the hope of maintaining himself there, but to produce the greatanoral effect which such an event would not fail to pro . duce in France and in the whsle of Algeria. He has not been able to succeed on the Orleansville side, as the rising of the Chelif might present an obstacle or compromise hie re treat ; he has, besides, been followed . with much activity by , our columns, for latterly General Lamoriciere, with the dif ferent columns of the province of Oran, conjointly with the ! troops of Marshal Bugeaud, gave pursuit to him on the Mina. General Belleau having set out for Setif, the field towards Medeah was open to the Emir, and the more so as the ob stacle of the Chelif does not exist on that side. It may easily be conceived, therefore, that the danger must have been I pressing to have called the Marshal in person to the spot. I We rely firmly en the indefatigable activity of Marshal Bu gelled, and his great knowledge of the nature of the war and .the tactics of the Emir will furnish him with expedients to prevent the enemy from putting his foot on the ridges of the little Atlas which borders the horizon cf Algiers." Muller, the assassin of M. Len, was beheaded at Lucerne on the 31st ult. On the seine day expired the term of delay for the payment of the indearAity of 400,000 Swiss livrez„ as the condition of the amneety in favour of the political pd . Boners. The Committee appointed to collect this sum has in formed the Government, that it has been able to rise only 220,000 hues, and has entreated it to accept of that .amount. The question will probably be brought before the Grand Council.

VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) THE MAYOR AND BURGESSES OF LOUTH v. THE WARDENS CIF' THE FREE GRAMMAR-SCHOOL OF LOUTH. The 'Vice-Chancellor of England sat again to-day in his Court at Lincoln's Inn, for the purpose of hearing the further arguments in this part-heard case. The arguments occupied the whole morning. QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) This Court was occupied for a considerable portion of the day in investigating a case which arose out of a book account transaction, between a vender of ginger-beerand one of his customers ; the amount sought to be recovered was about 71.; and th action might have been disposed of in half an hour. EXCHEQUER.—(THIS , DAY.) (Sittings at Nisi Prius, after Hilary Term, before the LORD CHIEF BARON and a Special Jury, ) THE ATTORNEY-GENEUAL V. ALLAN. This was information, filed by the Attorney-General, for the recovery of penalties alleged to have been incurred 1- 7 de. fondant, fer a violation of the Excise laws in the article of soap. Attorney-General, the Solicitor General, Mr. Jervis, and Mr. Wilde, appeared on behalf of the Crown, but as a number of the jury were not in attendance, the Solictor - General refused to pray a talcs, and the Court was conse quently adjourned till Tilesday next. The other Learned Jitclget, who were sitting in banco in the Bail Court, then removed to the Court cf Exchequer and took the new trial paper, which engaged their attention for the remainder of the day. BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Commissioner Gotruluns.) IS sue STAFFORD. The bankrupt in this case had been a sharsbrokcr in the City of London, and the choice of assignees had been ad journed, in order that the claim of the petitioning creditors, who had several railway shares and contracts for shares as security for a large debt of 400/., could be investigated. Mr. WooTrox, solicitor, of Tokenbouse-yard, now applied on behalf of Messrs. Field, Sun, t:nd Bayley, sharebrokers, the petitioning creditors, and said that notwithstanding Mr. Field had been examined touching the debt and securities, Mr. Tyrrell, who was on the opposite side, would not consent to the sale of the shares held by Llessrp. Field and Co., the object.of his application was to obtain an order of the Com missioner for the sale, so that the precise amount of the debt might be ascertained, and the creditors enabled to vote in the choice of assignees. The Learned ammissioNErt expressed his doubt as to his power to make any order, as he could not consider the de posit of shares or contracts for shares in the light of legal mortgage. The only way he thought safe was to apply by petition to the Court of Review, but he was afraid the time and expense would exceed the adyantages. Mr. Woorrox said that Messrs. Field's debt was very large, and they would wish to sell the shares. They had advanced money on paying contracts and shares, and ho therefore considered they held them as alien. The COMAIISSIONER said it appeared they claimed to hold them as s.xurity for a general balance on a running account, according to a custom of the city of London, by which a cre ditor might attach any property within the city of London. The question, therefore, was whether these shares could be considered as property over which such a power extended. Mr. WooTrox said, that if the Commissioner entertained any doubt that proof for the balance after the sale of the shares could be sueeeEsfully made, if sold under the autno rity of the Commissioner, they would et once go to the Court of Review. The ColitstisslONEß--The question iv, are you safe in sell ing? I will referto cases. The Learned Commissioner then referred to several books, and said he could not find a point analogous quoted that was supported by reference. If the assignees and mortgagees could not agree on a sale of pro perty, then the Court might order it ; or the creditor could prove for the full amount of his debt by resigning his securi ties, which would go for the general benefit of the estate or the official assignee might purchase the property. Mr. Woorrost said that the official assignee declined doing so. The Learned COMMISSIONER said, that after reading the cases he was of opinion that Messrs. Field had a lien on the shares, and that a deposit of shares was such property as to come within the exceptions cf the Act 108th George IV., giving right of proof. Under those circumstances ho should make the order. The order was, therefore, drawn up. CRIMINAL COURT : -(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT: (Before Mr. Baron IiOLFE and Mr. Justice CRESSWELT.) THE POWERS OF MONEY.—James Thomas, aged 50, who was described in the Calendar as a labourer, but who is really the rector of a parish not many miles north-west from London, and George Green, a private in the Grenadier Guards, were placed at the bar, charged with the commis sion of a nameless offence. . Mr. BALLANTINE, who appeared for the prosecution, in formed the Court that. he had every reason to believe that the witnesses in the case had been, through the agency of one of the persons accused, conveyed out of the country, and consequently could not be forthcoming in the present session. If the case were further remanded ha had no doubt that he coula produce evidence to prove this fact; and perhaps he might suggest that the depositions be read over in the mean time to justify this prect dure. Mr. Baron RoLFE asked if the prisoners were defended? Mr. I'ItENDERGAST said that he attended for the defence. The prisoners were anxious to be tried, and if no witnesses were forthcoming, to be, of course, discharged. Mr. Justice COLTMAN asked if no efforts had been made to discover the witnesses. Mr. BALLIsTorrsE said that it was well known that the witnesses had been conveyed , beyond the jurisdiction of the Court, and there was not the slighte.st hope that they could be brought, or would themselves come forward at present. The witnesses were then called by name, and failing to ap pear, their recognizances were declared forfeited. Mr. Baron ROLFE then directed the jury to acquit the pri soners. There was no proof before them (however little moral doubt might be entertained) that the witnesses had been kept out of the way by the prisoners' agency. There remained, under these circumstances, but one course open for them, namely, to pronounce a verdict of acquittal. The jury then returned a verdict of Not Guilty, and the prisoners were removed from the bar. It has been pretty clearly ascertained that the witnesses, who aro under 04 care of the reverend gentleman's butler, have had 500/. each as "hush money." The rector is mar ried, and has a large family. William Query, acted 47, a shoemaker, was in dicted for wounding his daughter 6 Celia, with intent to kill or murder her. There were other counts in the indictment, varying the charge. Mr. Bodkin conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Parry was engaged for the defence. The facts of the case were in themselves very simple. The daughter, a child of 13 years of age, was sitting nursing the baby, when the prisoner entered, and, without speaking a word, took the poker from the fire, and inflictod a severe wound upon the girl's head. He was subsequently taken into custody. Mr. PARRY'S defence was that the prisoner had for a con* siderable time been labouring under severe illness, which had induced a temporary insanity. He was prepared to prove this statement by competent witnesses. Dr. Maynard, of Horsemonger-lane Gaol, and several other witnesses; were examined on behalf of the prisoner. Mr. Baron ROLFE summed up, and the jury found him Not, Guilty, on the ground of insanity. FREE-TRADE QUALIFICATION S FOR SOUTH CHESHIRE.
