In answer to a question from Lord JOHN RUSSELL, It was stated by the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, that he could not consent to any alteration of the stand ing orders regulating Railway deposits. Mr. MANGLES complained that the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER had taken a very one-sided view of the question, which affected not only railway share holders, but all merchants and traders. Mr. MASTERMAN also considered the reply of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER as very unsatisfactory. After a few words from Mr. S. CRAWFORD, Sir R. PEEL suggested the propriety of postponing the question until after Monday, and the subject dropped. On the motion for bringing up the report on the Address, • Mr. COLQUHOUN rose, and in a long speech attacked Sir H. PEEL, and defended the cause of protection to the landed interest. Mr. HUME expressed his satisfaction at the conduct of the Government. Sir R. PEEL said that in pursuing the settlement of the great question which now agitates the public mind, on just and equitable terms with that people with whose welfare his' own was altogether bound up, he should not allow any personal considerations or private motives to make him swerve from the principles which he had laid down. In answer to questions from Lord J. RUSSELL on the subject of Oregon, Sir R. PEEL said that a proposal had been made by the PRESIDENT of the United States, in which it was suggested that a division of that territory should be made ; but the terms that had been proposed fur this division were so little likely to be accepted, that Mr. PAKENHAM had intimated as much as that the proposal might as well be withdrawn. Now, with respect to that gentleman, he would only say, that though he enter tained fur him the highest respect, it would have been much better had he transmitted to the Home Govern ment here the usual accounts of what had come to his knowledge on this question. Since then the offer of this country had been refused on the terms he had stated ; a new course had been adopted, and it had been agreed upon to refer the question to arbitration, but no answer to that offer had yet been received. The O'CONNOR DON asked if it was intended to in troduce any measure for the settlement of the landlord and tenant question in Ireland ? Sir R. PEEL hoped the question would be repeated in a few days, when he would be prepared to answer it. Mr. BANKEs expressed himself at a loss to conceive what could have been the reasons which had induced Sir R. PEEL to change his opinions on the subject of Protection. He felt convinced that, when the occasion should arrive, he (Mr. BANKES) should be able to give, to many of the facts and statements of the Right Hon. Baronet, a positive denial. After a few words from Mr. S. CRAWFORD, the mo tion was agreed to, and Sir R. PEEL signified that her Majesty would receive the Address at half-past two this day. Sir R. FREMANTLE obtained leave to bring in a Bill for the extension and promotion of public works in Ireland. After which the report was brought up, and the House adjourned. The Chancellor of the Exchequer's answer,',on the sub ject of the railway deposits, appears to us extremely unsatisfactory. So far as reasons are concerned, it was in fact no answer at all. To enable the railway de posits to be paid in Exchequer-bills, Government Stock and India . Bonds would have no more to do with en couraging speculations than Tenterden's steeple had to do with Goodwin Sands. The difficulty to be met is not a difficulty as to getting in money for railway pro jects, but a difficulty as to paying into the Bank mone y already got : and it is not the railway speculators who are interested in the alteration, but all the moneyed and commercial interests of the king dom. Not one railway company in difficulty for want of funds would be helped over the stile by the Chancellor of the Exchequer's consent to the propo,ed alteration; but it would give a relief at this moment to the whole commercial credit of the country, and more especially lo the metropolis, and we only hope that it is not necessary to save other banks from following in the train of th e two northern banks which have lately failed. These two banks have failed owing to the difficulty about railway deposits. They have to thank the Chan cellor of the E xc h equer. If he had in Novembe r the assurance haveassurance b e e w n h n i co a h thelar alarm o i City d im y deputationeaudietybaybloludesired,thegiventlhwe, railway deposit question. The allusio n m yesterday to the railway speculati on h a d nothing a u3N with the question ; and it is rather too ha r d that e the, moneyed interests of the country should be sacrificed, b the Chancellor of the Exchequer's ignorance, to a mi.? ' applied moral ardour. Reilway companies that have invested their funds in approved securities until the time came for paying the deposits have, under the present law, but to sell out in order to deposit with the Accountant-General, and then, after having deposited, buy in again. What is the use , at best, of this buying in and selling out? But it is no t merely that it is useless, but absolutely a loss to tilt.. companies, and no earthly purpose of good. Over and above the brokerage expenses, when all are selling out , the value of the securities fall, and, when all are buy in ; ; in again, rises ; so that there is no saying what IoE a may not be incurred by railway companies. And th E SUN, LONDON, SATURI)AY E'VENENG, JANUKRA 24, 1846. is what the Chancellor of the Exchequer treats as a time-honoured irttitution, and will not touch. part of the paper, forms an admirable reply to the hos tile attacks of M. TRIERS both on the French Govern ment and England. He adhered to his former assertions respecting the balance of power and the aggrandisement of the United States. " In a political point of view," said he, " the unmeasured greatness of that power was a most objectionable circumstance, as, after having ab sorbed Texas, they might turn their views towards Mexico, and thus destroy the balance of power on the American continent. The counsels which France bad given to Texas when menaced by the United States she would equally have given, had England shown any de sign to obtain possession of that country. France had used most moderate language, and such as ought not to give any offence to the Cabinet of Washington. As to the affair of the Oregon, France most ardently wished for an amicable arrangement of the differences between England and the United States ; but if, unfortunately, hostilities should ensue, the policy of Franco would be to observe a sirict neutrality." The Journal des Debuts contains a long article on the speech, and cails attention especially to that part of it which refutes M. TRlEns' arguments on the subject of England. " The good understanding between the two Governments, and the friendly relations between the two Sovereigns, are not the only fruits," says that jour nal, " of the policy of the present Cabinet. Evidence of a friendly feeling in both nations is to be found in the ' journals, and in the various manifestations to which circumstances occasionally give rise. Even M. TRIERS himself is a proof of the admirable change that has been I effected, for he has been received in England with as much cordiality as if the part that he took in foment- We have at length some precise information concern ing the negotiations carried on at Washington for the settlement of the Oregon question, and regret to find that it is anything but satisfactory. " A proposal," said Sir ROBERT PEEL, " had been wade on the part of the British Minister to the PRESIDENT of the United States, that there should be a division of the territory, but the terms offered by Mr. BucHANAN were so little likely to be accepted, that Mr. PARENIIAM bad intimated that they might as well be withdrawn." The Right Hon. Baronet seemed rather disposed to blame the British Minister for not communicating the fact to the home Government, and asking for further instructions. Many persons, on the contrary, will consider that Mr. PAILEN rum acted with proper decision and spirit. The terms offered were such as England could not accept with honour. They would have deprived us of the naviga tion of the Columbia and ruined the Hudson's Bay Com pany; they would, in fact, have shut us out from ali communication with the Pacific, and given every p ortion of the territory of the slightest use for commercial and other purposes to the United States. This was a tact so palpable, that Mr. PAKENPIAM rejected the offer at once, as totally inconsistent with his instructions ai.d wi h %list he knew to be the rights of England. And what now is Sir ROBERT PEEL'S scheme ? To rekr the matter to arbitration. This has been offered agair and again, and uniformly rejected, and to renew the pro-• posal after such remarkable displays of legislatorial rancour and hostility to England appears utterly useless for any purpose but delay. England has no. wish for delay; her object is to settle this question at once ; and as for arbitration, it would only add to the evil by placing England in a worse position. Every one knows what time was occupied by the late King of IIomAND in deciding the eastern boundary question, and what was the result. The American Government refused to abide by their original agreement, the decision of the arbiter was rejected, and the work, after a tedious delay of many years, was to be commenced anew. Can we hope for any other conclusion of a second arbitra ,on, even if the Americans would accede to And in the meantime will they be idle ? Will they not be pouring into the Oregon additional settlers, erecting forts, and strengthening themselves in man)' other respects for a rupture ? Could this benefit Eng land, or give moro effect to her demands ? Quite the reverse. Even Mr. iIuME, so anxious to live on good terms with America, and so well known for his propen sity to cut down our naval and military establishments. views the question with an impartial eye, denounces the people of that country for " setting at nought all the rules of civilisation in enforcing their alleged claims," and ap proves of such measures as may be necessary to maintain the honour and character of the nation. " Under existing circumstances," said he, " I hold it to be my duty to givt the Ministers my cordial support in their plans for strengthening the defences of the country." When severe economist, like Mr. HUME, uses such language, there must be real danger, and we confidently trust the Government will not despise it. Never did a Parliamentary session afford a better opportunity for the consideration of that vast constitu- tional problem—" Political consistency"—than the pre sent. Without doing so in action, the Prime Minister has virtually walked forth from the midst of his former colleagues, and seated himself upon the benches of the Opposition. Nevertheless, in proceeding thus, he has relinquished his original principles with all Imnour, and truthfulness, and propriety : to him no single thought of tergiversation can be ascribed ; his character cannot be impugned as inconsistent. And in this respect the language of Mr. DISRAELI, on Thursday night, was impregnated with veracity—the position of Sir ROBERT PEEL at this moment is without one solitary parallel it, the records of history or the experience of nations. There is, however, something like an antithesis in tht LLOYD'S SHIPPING.—(THIS DAY.)I LONDON, JAN. 24 —Wind this day at noon, W. by 8,, light airs, and hazy.

BRITISII FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK. (From the Official List.) ------- - - ing discord when he was last in office hall been entirely forgotten. But, supposing even that the feeling of discontent and irritation of which M. TRIERS talki, did really exist, to whom would it be owing ? To himself and his policy." The National asserts that the speech of M. GuezoT was a lame de fence of a wretched policy, and the's proceeds to abuse not only M. GUIZOT, but also M. TRIERS, for the modest feeling that they' have both proclaimed to the French nation. It is quite indignant at seeing France remain passive, whilst other countries are increasing their power and adding to their possessions. The Courrier Francais condemns the policy of M. GurzoT, and ex presses its astonishment at the language which he has uttered, and which, it says, is degrading to the French nation. " After having, to please England," it says, " taken an officious and improper part in the Texas affair, he ansounces that France will remain perfectly neutral on the question of the Oregon territory, whereas it is her interest to prevent either England or the United States from taking possession of it." We regret to find from the Paris papers that the accounts received at Marseilles, of a serious calamity having befallen a division of the French army in Africa, are to a certain extent confirmed, but the loss of life is not so great as was at first believed. An offi cial account of the disaster has been received by the Government, and is thus abridged in the papers :- " The Minister of 'War has received a report from Gene • ral Levasseur, dated Setif, the 10th instant, giving an ac count of a melancholy catastrophe which had befallen the column of men, 1,200 strong, under his orders. The Ge neral was returning to Constantine, after several suc cessful attacks upon the rebel tribes, when his troops were, on the 3d, caught in a snow-storm of such vio lence and long duration, that a great number lost their lives from cold and exhaustion, and a considerable num ber reached Setif in such a state of suffering, that they were immediately placed in the hospital. The General says that he was not able, at the time of writing his re port, to give a correct return of the dead, as many who had been given up for lest were hourly coming in ; but, according to a letter from Setif, of the Bth, iu the Semaphore of Mar seilles, the number who had perished amounted to a hun dred, and many of those who had arrived at Setif and had entered the hospital were in such a sad state, with their hands and feet frozen, that their recovery was considered impos sible. According to the report of General Levasseur, how ever, the cases in the hospital were not serious. The Sema phore adds, that fears of a similar disaster were entertained for a column which had left Setif some time ago, under General d'Arbouville." The Algerie gives a sketch of the disastrous affair, which corresponds with the above, but it includes a statement that thirty officers had been taken into the hospital at Setif, with their extremities frozen-the detachment of the African chas seurs had five men and several horses killed by the cold ; of the waggon-train fifteen are dead; of the 43d of the line, which was making its first campaign in Africa, the grenadier company has almost entirely disappeared, and nearly all the muleteers put in requisition have perished. The Algerie states that on the Bth more than one-third of the column had not got back to Setif, consequently the fate of 800 men re mained unknown. " The Courrier Francais, after giving the lamentable ac counts from Setif, adds the following :-" It is said that an epidemic disease has attacked the village of Foudouk, and carried off no fewer than 400 victims. Such a visitation is the more surprising as this small colony is situated to the east of the plain of Metidja, in a well-watered and fertile country, believed to be peculiarly healthy. It is to be feared that the Marabouts who go about preaching in all parts of Algeria will avail themselves of this sad news, by holding it out to their fanatical hearers as a prognostic of the coming vengeance of the Prophet upon the infidels.'

As the Right Hon. Baronet hinted in his explanatory address, the conduct of a true and patriotic statesman should be ever directed by an anxiety for the prosperity and happiness of the people entrusted to his government. No system of principles, however illusory or specious, should be per sisted in under every and any circumstances by a Minister desirous of discharging his duties without par tiality. No sense of personal obligation should in any particular impede the development of whatever views he may consider beneficial to the multitude. No fear of contumely or vituperation should prevent him from fol lowing tho dictates of his reason. He should stand apart from the trammels of party: his principles should be moulded upon :a gigantic and cosmopolitan scale: his survey should be enlarged not only to the compass of all classes, it should extend beyond the confines cf his own generation, and calculate the contingencies of futurity. In all these respects, as far as the present momentous question of commercial policy is concerned, the Premier cannot dread the searching eye of analysis. The character upon this point, tallies to a tittle. There are, however' some collateral facts in connexion with a great conver sion similar to that of Sir ROBERT PEEL, which render the consistency of the individual somewhat dubious. A sudden desertion to those against whom, and against whose creed a Minister had been waging an implacable and unrelenting war during the whole of his previous career, would undoubtedly lubject him, and with a con siderable show of justice, to the charge of dishonesty, and the accusation of being unconscientious. In the [ present First Lord of the Treasury, however, this aspersion cannot by the most artful and subtle reason• ing hold good for an instant. His conversion upon the subject of freedom to trade, and the abolition of exclusive protection to agriculture, is not of that abrupt nature which it may be conceived to be by the superficial observer. His whole conduct throughout his Ministerial existence has displayed a decided leaning towards these ends. He has not aban doned the protectionists with one sudden bound into the territory of their opponents ; he has not even to undo what he had already accomplished, but rather to enlarge the enlargement he had himself made ; to shake into ruin the tower and its very foundations, the buttresses of which he had previously demolished ; to extend the parole of his tariff into the complete and permanent emancipation of free trade. If his concessions is regard to wool, and sugar, and glass, and cattle, and divers other articles of home industry and foreign produce, had not in some measure prepared the protectionists for a still further evidence of his desire to diminish whatever im posts might appear to him as arduous and superfluous, they must have been most miserably shortsighted indeed. Besides the various gradations we have enumerated, Sir ROBERT PEEL has shown by his general bearing a tendency to that grand alteration of his opinions which he announced with such candour and simplicity on Thursday night last. It is on this ac count, therefore, besides the numerous other conclusive reasons he himself advanced in his explanation, that we now regard Sir ROBERT PEEL as a thoroughly conscien tious and consistent politician. Had he still adhered to an impossibility, like the existing corn-laws ; had he per eisted in propping up a decayed and rotten fabric, like the present commercial system—knowing meanwhile its utter meanness and irnpolicy—then he might justly have been branded as a small-hearted, callous, bigoted, and inconsistent statesman. As it is, he proves himself to be the very converse. What to him the vitupera tions of a few disappointed men ! What to him the scurrility of the searchers after aggran disement ! Wbat to him the sneers and scoff ; and ridicule of those who are only influenced through the pocket ! The laborious days and nights which, during the recent recess, he has consumed in planning this act of Ministerial magnanimity are now being recompensed with fruition —the fruition of popular gratitude and the applause of every discriminating intellect. With the bitterness and the spleen of his new enemies he cannot, by possibility, be affected. However brilliant their animosity may be, it is contemptible; and in this way the showy onslaught of Mr. BENJAMIN DISRAELI was but the glitter of a dying faction. When both the leader of the Opposition and the Prime Minister himself admit the excellence of a hitherto unacknowledged principle, their example cannot but be imitated by many of their political ad herents.

SIGNS OF TUE TIMEL—The recent meeting at Norwich, where the protectionist party was so signally defeated, caused no heartburning nor jealousy on the side of the discomfited leaders of the agriculturist. The principal actor on that side, desired that his opinion of Mr.Cobden should be conveyed to that gentleman in the following terms:—" Tell Richard Cobden from me, that he is the honestest man in the House of Commons—if not almost the only one."

EXTEXSIVE FIRE IN CLERKENWELL.—About half past two o'clock yesterday morning, a tire took place at the Hoop and Adze public-house, near Sutton -street, Clerken well. The persons residing on the premises were soon roused, and the engine soon reached the spot. By that time, such was the rapidity of the flames, that every floor was on fire. Water was instantly supplied from the New River mains, and several engines were set to work ; but notwithstanding this powerful aid, in about half an hour nothing of the property was left but the walls. An inquiry was made as to its origin, but nothing decisive could be obtained on the subject. Sir George Murray is improving in health. It was said at the Clubs, last night, that the free trade party on both sid'es of the House have made a calcula tion of their joint strength, and that the odds in their favour, as against the protectionists, are about 300 to 250. Of course, there are waverers, and trimmers, and doubters, over and above. The speech of M. GuizoT, in the French Chamber of Deputies, in reply to M. nit Ens on the relations of France with the United States, has excited considerable ,interest, and nearly all the journals comment upon it' The speech, which will be found at length in another IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT (THIS DAY). HOUSE OF L ORDS. PRESENTATION OF THE ADDRESS TO HER MAJESTY. The House met to-day at one o'clock, for the purpose of proceeding in state to Buckingham Palace, with the Address in answer to her Majesty's Speech. The at tendance of Peers was scanty in the extreme, for when the Lord Chancellor took his seat on the Woolsack there were only present the Earl of Home, Viscount Hawarden, Lord Monteagle, the Earl of Shaftesbury, and the Earl of Redesdale. At two o'clock their Lord ships left the House, and proceeded in state to Bucking• ham Palace. The House adjourned till Monday, at half-past Four. HOUSE OF COMMONS. • The Speaker, in his state robes , took the cha i r at half-past one o'clock, at which time there were about sixty Members present. There were only three Mem bers in uniform, the mover and seconder of the Address, and Mi'. Cardwell. Lord Francis Egerton and 111 r. Cardwell were dressed in the Windsor uniform, and Mr. Beckett Denison as a Deputy Lieutenant. THE ADDRESS.

CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) CHRIST ' S HOSPITAL V. GRAINGER, AND OTHERS.-JUDG" MENT. The LORD CHANCELLOR gave judgment this morning in this case, which was argued before his Lordship a short time tince, upon an appeal from the decision of the Vice-Chancellor of England, giving the plaintiffs liberty to amend their bill a second time, after the expiration of the time prescribed by order of the Court. The bill was tiled by the governors of Christ's Hospital on the nature of a cross bill to an information by the Attorney,-Gene ral for the better administration of a charity, founded by a person named Kenrick, in the town of Reading. The bill filed by the governors of Christ's Hospital, claimed the whole estates belonging to that charity, under a clause of forfeiture in the will of the founder, on the ground that those estates had not been ad , ministered according to his expressed intentions. Kenrick by his will, dated in 1684, directed that a sum of 75,0001. should be invested in the purchase of land, and that the income should be applied for the better em ployment of the poor of Reading. When new trustees were appointed in the place of the Corporation, who had managed the estates up- to the pass ing of the Municipal Corporation Act, an information was filed for a new scheme, and then it was that Christ's Hospital was advised there had been a forfeiture, because the income had not been properly applied, and a claim was made in their behalf for the whole property, which now produced upwards of 2,000!. a-year, in addition to a sum of 10,0001. in the public funds. To the claims of Christ's Hospital, or rather to the will put in by that body, an answer was put in by the trustees, the corporation of Reading and the Attorney-General, who were all made defendants. The answer was pro nounced sufficient, and such being the case there was a limited time, according to the order of the Court, within which the plaintiffs would be at liberty to amend their bill should they think it necessary. • The plaintiffs took from the 20th of February, 1845, to the 4th of December, in the same year, and they applied to the Vice-Chancellor of England for leave to amend on the affidavit of the clerk of their solicitor, in which it was known that it had become necessary to go through above 21,000 papers and deeds; that he had at various times occupied twenty days in that examination ; that it had become necessary to vary and limit the case made by the bill; and that the amendments so required to be made were material. The Vice- Chancellor, in conformity with the practice under the 13th and 15th of the orders of 1828, as modified by the orders of 1831, and still further modified by the 68th of the new orders of May. 1845, gave the plaintiffs leave to amend a second' time, and from that order the defendant. appealed. When the case came before his Lordship it was argued on behalf of the appellants that the Vice-Chancellor had no jurisdiction to make such an order of amendment ; and that even if he had, that his Honour had violated the exigency of the 68th order, by giving leave to amend an insufficient affidavit sworn by a clerk, instead of by the solicitor of the plaintiff himself, that affidavit not stating any grounds for amendment, or averring or showing that any reasonable diligence had been used to procure the means of making the amendment earlier. The question raised by the appeal, although one of mere practice, was of vast importance to the profession, be cause if the new orders of May last, which had b e e n framed with so much care and attention, were not strictly maintained, it would be much better that they should be abrogated at once. The words of the 68th of the new order were—" After the plaintiff has filed or undertaken to file a replication, or after the expi ration of four weeks from the time when the answer or last answer is deemed sufficient, a special order for leave to amend a bill was not to be granted without further affidavit showing that the matter of the proposed amendment is material, and could not with reasonable diligence have been sooner introduced into such bill. The amendment had not been made in compliance with that order, because the proper course for the plaintiff would have been in the first instance to have gone before the Master. In support of the decision of the Court below, it was submitted that the new orders had not superseded, but:merely modified the old ones, and that the Court, under the 21st of the new orders of May, had an express leave to exercise its discretion. With respect to going before the Master, the plaintiffs had merely adopted the practice as it ex isted under the old order, by coming at once to the Court, when after the expiration of the ordinary time they asked for extraordina r y indul g ence. The LORD CHANCELLOR , this aim nieg, at considerable length gave judgment, reversing the decision of the Court below. --- ----- ROLLS' COURT .—( THIS DAY.) Hi s LORDSHIP sat at te n ; o'clock, and resumed the wring of motions, which were quite uninteresting. BAIL COURT.—(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco, before Mr. Justice WILLIAMS.) Mr. CLARKSON applied for a writ of certiorari to re move a certain indictment from the Court of Middlesex Quarter Sessions. The Learned Counsel said, that the indictment on which this application was founded was of rather a novel character. The party was charged with exposing his person, and the first count charged him with " exposing his person in a certain public place in the view of a child of tender age—to wit twelve years. The second count charged him with exposing, &c., in a certain public place in the view of several of her Ma jesty's subjects ; and the third, charged a common assa ult. Mr. Justice WILLIams—A common assault ? Mr. CLARKSON—Yes, my Lord, a common assault. It would not be necessary to detail all the circumstances, as they were of a very indecent character, and his Lord ship would see them in the depositions. It would appear that a party in Paddington churchyard had beckoned to girl on the footpath outside, aad when she came he hid exposed his person to h er. A gravedigger had followed, and had seen the party expose his person to the girl, who did not appear to be at all unwilling to submit to the treatment to which she was subjected. He (Mr. Clarkson) was aware that the first count had often been held valid in the " junior courts," as he would term them, but he had frequently had great doubts as to its legality. A girl of the age of twelve years was not by the English law one bit more protected than any woman of full age, except in the case of mar riage or abduction, where the party had money, and was in fact under some sort of legal guardianship. The second count was wholly unsupported by the evi dence ; and the third was an absurd one. The question he wished to raise before the Court of Queen's Bench was one of considerable importance, as under the cir cumstances it would be necessary to make a new law to meet . these cases. His Lordship was qu it e aware th at juries in the courts of quarter sessions (and he said so with great respect to the persons who presided over those courts), in such cases a s th e p resen t, w ith a sort of natural feeliag, omitted to notice both law and fact, and it was rather difficult to obtain for such cases anything like , a legitimate legal d e t erm i na ti on . The application was granted. EXCHEQUER.—(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco.) EX PARTE THE DERBY, UTTOXETER, AND STAFFORD SHIRE RAILWAY. Mr. JAMES said he had to- move their Lordships for a rule nisi to show cause why the plaintiff in this case should not deliver to the defendants a further and bette.- particular of the nature of his demand. The plaintiff was an engineer, and the defendants provisional com mitteemen of the Derby, Uttoxetee, and Siaffordshire Railway, and the claim, which amounted to 3,7741. 45., was alleged to be for preparing the necessary levels and surveys of that line. The cause of action set forth in the declaration was simply for work and labour done, and upon no special contract, but the particulars of the demand, which consisted of six items, were of so general a character that the defendants had some diffi culty in shaping their defence. One item, for instance, was for surveying 36 miles of the proposed line, 1,4601, and another was for preparing and delivering books of reference, &c., 630/., but the terms of these items were so general and indefinite, that the defendants had no means of ascertaining either the amount of the work done, or whether the charges for it were fair and reason able. The LORD CHIEF BARON—The particular is similar to that of an electioneering agent fur conducting the pro ceedings of a contested election. Mr. JAMES agreed that it was, but the el - Law of action bein4 simply for work and labour done, and not upon a special contract, the particulars ought to be more defi nite and explicit of the extent and nature of the work and labor doe. THE QUEEN'S SPEECH. We are indebted to our much-valued and enterprising friend, Mr. Murdo Young, the spirited proprietor of The London Sun, for an early edition of that journal, containing the Queen's Speech at the opening of Parliament yesterday. Besides the Speech from the Throne, the Third Edition of The Sun of last night contains nearly nine columns of Parliamentary debate ! This, indeed, is enterprise.—Hull Advertiser. We are indebted to the Proprietors of The Sun for an ex pressed copy of that paper, containing the important Par liamentary intelligence inserted in another colum.—Somerset County Gazette. " TIIE StiN."—We are indebted for the report of Sir Ro bert Peel's speech, in our columns, to an Express Edition of The Sun of f hursday.—Leeds Mercury. We gratefully acknowledge the kindness of the pro prietor of The Sun newspaper, in transmitting copies of his paper, yesterday evening, by express, from which we tran scribe her Majesty's Speech. The Sun's energy on all similar occasions merits the warmest acknowledgment.—Nottingham Review. Andinow, good reader, referring you to the Parliamentary intelligence—for the rest we ask thee to join with us in cm dial thanks to Murdo Young, the brilliant Sun light of the Press, for that Express Edition of his, which enables us to convey to thee, within 18 or 19 hours after the speech of the Minister was delivered, a summary of its contents 200 miles from town.— Western Times. (FROM A CORREM'ONDENT DERBY, FRIDAYNIGICT.-Ido not f ecoltect any former Queen's Speech causing so much anxiety, and exciting so much attention as the one delivered on Thursday by our be loved Queen. "What will the Queen be made to say ?" was in everybody's mouth, and great numbers of people waited the arrival of Tie Sun express, on Thursday evening, with the utmost impatience. To-day has been the usual weekly market. The contents of the Speech, indicating, as they do, the advent of a large measure of free trade, have been read with great satisfaction by everybody who i s not a mono p olist, and many farmers exclaim, " Well, better have it settled at once than go on by driblets." The Tory monopolist squires are perfectly rampant. They ab use Peel unmercifully, allege that ho has betrayed them, and would infinitely prefer an open foe to an enemy, like Peel, in the garb of a professed "friend." They think there will be a light for it yet on the hustings, and hope still to defeat his measure, be it what it may. The general—all but universal —hope is, that Peel's measure will be at once comprehensive and final ; and that it will be clogged by no unseemly provisions. Should this hope be disappointed, the working classes will meet en masse, and speak in terms not to he misunderstood. Ali parties concur that a " crisis" has arrived of no trifling character, and the , free-traders here are resolved to persevere with determination and rigour. " Hurrah for free trade !" We are desired to correct an account, which first ap peared in a country paper, of a late melancholy event near Highworth, Wilts. The reverend gentleman who fell from his horse and expired was the Rev. G. Thomas, of Bishops town, near Swindon, and not the Rev. Vaughan Thomas, of Oxford. ANTI-CORN-LAW MEETING AT INVERURY. — On Thursday evening, a public meeting was held in the Town Hall, Inverury, for the purpose of taking into consideration the evil tendencies of the corn-laws. Mr. Gordon of the Commercial Inn, in the chair. Speeches were delivered by the chairman, Messrs. John Innes, Cock, Roy, and others . The audience was numerous and respectable. Resolutions condemnatory of the existing corn-laws were passed without a disentient voice ; and a memorial to both Houses of Par liament is now in the course of signature in the district. — North of Scotland Gazette. HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.--The rumour of the in tention of converting the pit of her Majesty's Theatre into stalls, was never even contemplated ; and it arose from several hundred more applications having been made for stalls than the number at present existing. The composer Verdi is expected in town this season, having been retained by Mr. Lumley to produce a new opera at her Majesty's Theatre. ------------------------- Mr. Baron PARKE—You gave the plaintifol ff his in dstile° true• tions, and ought to know whether e has lowe out or not. Mr. JAMES said the defendant could not gather {rent the particulars whether he had or not, and e ,4 t. e e the defendants nor their solicitor had son any of i'_ work alleged to have been done, because from the in" definite nature of the particulars they Were at ,le s t : where to look for it.
