But we take a much higher ground on behalf of the allottees. We join issue with our correspondent on the question of moral liability. We say that they are not in equity or in honour bound to contribute one single shilling to the preliminary expenses of those un dertakings which were not brought before Parlia ment. As to those which were actually brought before the Legislature, and there failed, we do not at pre sent profess to give an opinion : each of these cases must in a great degree depend on its own peculiar circumstances. may be said of Sir Robert Peel. He has only to recite what he has done to pronounce his own panegyric. It is an easy task. Europe pacitied—lndia subjected—the finances re stored—the deficit supplied—commerce revived and extended —these are the:conquests of his pacific policy, which con tend for preference in his favour. He rendered a well merited homage to the high moral and Christian spirit lsy which the acts of his colleague, the Secretary of State for Fo reign Affairs, have been distinguished throughout the last five years. All the Governments in alliance with England will ratify this well-earned testimony to the calm and essen tially honest character of Lord Aberdeen. And, as if the fallen Ministry was to be fortunate 'and happy to the very last, it was able to announce to the 'Parliament and to Eng land, that the only difficulty that could compromise the ge neral peace (the Oregcn question) was definitively settled." The ConBtitutionnd, after giving a summary of the speech, snakes the fulluwing observations : Our correspondent supposes a case, a strong one, for himself. He says twenty times the number of shares put forth in the prospectus were applied for ; that there was much difficulty in judiciously dis tributing them between the proper parties; that the acting committee had felt justified in taking the steps necessary to place the project in a state of readiness for the adjudication of the Legislature, and that they undertook the expenses wholly and solely on the strength of the promises made by the applicants for shares. He then supposes the allotment, which un fortunately did not take place until after the panic— this constitutes the great point of the case. We ven ture to say that there was not a single instance of an allotment which took place before the panic in which the entire number of shares were distributed to the public, or in which there was not a large reserve made for the purpose of being divided be tween the promoters of the project, in the event of the scheme proving a successful one and the shares coming out at a premium. And such would have been the case in the subsequent allot ments, had it not been for the panic; then, indeed, the full number of shares were allotted—no reserve was made. The question was not to keep the good things for the friends of the promoters, but to select persons who could bear their proportion of the losses certain to be sustained. He says, " the allot ment letters are sent out ; the applicants for shares —all honourable men —are unanimous in not taking up or paying on a single share." Does not this clearly prove the state of facts at the time of the allotment ?—that it was a certain loss that was en tailed by the granting of the application; and will our correspondent say on what principle of justice it was that the other applicants, whose claims were rejected, were exonerated from any portion of the loss? Were they the friends of the allotting committee, or not, who were so exone rated ? Were they not the very parties who would have got the allotments, if they had lx-en valuable and the shares at a premium ? tVe verily believe that not one in ten of those who received 'Allotments after the panic had set in would have had any answer to their applications if circumstances had been different. The law has wisely provided that no person shall be responsible on what is technically termed a nudum pactum, no promise is binding unless there is a valid and sufficient consideration; therefore, there must be a reciprocity ; in other words, if any man is to be hell responsible on a contract, he must have re ceived some benefit or claim in return for that liability. Now there was no reciprocity whatsoever between the committeeman and the applicant ; the latter on signing his letter of application, did not thereby become entitled to any number of shares. If the scheme turned out profitably he would not have got those shares for which he applied, and he there tbre considers that when circumstances were wholly altered, he could not fairly or equitably be held re sponsible for the loss which had actually been sus tained, before he received his allotment. We may men tion an example which strongly bears out the view we have taken. A gentleman of high respectability, on whose credibility we place the utmost reliance, in formed us that he had applied for shares in many undertakings during the summer of 1845, but in not one single instance was his appli cation favourably replied to before the panic set in, except in one case, where he had a friend on the com mittee ; but after the panic, applications he had sent in more than three months before, were answered, and the full number applied for given to him in almost every instance. Could he be considered fairly liable ? We think not. We have thus stated sonze of the grounds why the allottee is not bound in honour to pay on his shares ; for, no matter how the legal point might be decided, we would not have advocated the cause of the allottees unless we had conceived it to be based on equity and justice. " What will particularly strike the French reader in this memorable sitting is the incontestable triumph of liberal ideas. proclaimed at the same time in the name of the Mi nistry which falls, and of the new Ministry which will owe to them the chief power. This liberal and reforming move ment of Great Britain is an important fact in the world This progress evidently causes at this side of the Channel strong displeasure, as may be judged by the evident feeling shown by the principal organ of our Government, against the Whigs, during this crisis. We, for our parts, on the contrary, greet it as an additional happy symptom—as indi cative of the term of the re-action which the Cabinets pre tending to be Conservative, were striving to effect through out Europe." " Sir ROBERT PEEL," says the Presse, " spoke like a man whom the testimony of his conscience and the certitude of having done something useful to his country place equally above the promptings of a pride excited by applause, and the weakness of a self• love wounded by unjust recriminations. "The fall of Sir ROBERT PERI," observes the France, " has the air of a triumph." The National observes that the true motive of the retirement of Sir ROBERT PEEL is to be found in his unwillingness to hold office by the toleration of a party hitherto hostile to hint, or of a faction which has recently receded from him. This motive, adds the National is sufficiently honourable to Sir R. PEEL. The Courier Francais concludes an ably written article on the same subject in these words :—" Never was the fall of a Minister attended with so much glory as this'fall of Sir R. IPEBL. During his last speech the House was frequently excited to unani mous plaudits, and crowds waiting for his coming out of ,the Parliament House, to hail him with the most prodigally enthusiastic acclamations, and com mittees are being formed for erecting_a monument in honour to him, and to which the whole body of a grateful people are sub,cribing. We hope that the noble language of S:r R. PEEL on the subject of Ire land will bear its fruits, for it obtained the unanimous assent of the assembly." The Chamber of - Peers sat on Wednesday, and passed a great number of Bills, almost without discus sion. The Presse states that MEHEMET ALI has for mally authori-ed the foreign Consuls residing at Alexandria to inform their Sovereigns of his inten tion to proceed to Constantinople. Every one at Alexandria thinks that, on quitting Constantinople, MEHEMET ALI will make an excursion to Western Europe.

At three o'clock Lord John Russell left his residence for Buckingham Palace, to have an audience of her Majesty. The Noble Lord was engaged nearly an hour with the Queen. - Lord John Russell, on leaving the Palace, proceeded to visit Viscount Palmerston at his residence on Carlton House terrace, and remained with the Viscount half an hour. The Marquis of Lansdowne and the Right Hon. H. La bouchere subsequently called on Lord John Russell. Yesterday morning Lord John Russell forwarded a com munication to the Duke of Norfolk. It is now said that the Duke will be the Master of the Horse, the Duke of Bedford and the Duke of Devonshire having declined to accept any office in the Royal Houshold, although"they give the Govern ment their undivided support.

The latest intelligence from Persia represents the sanatory condition of that empire as at present most satisfactory.

QUEEN'S BENCH -(THIS DAY) (Sittings at Guildhall, before Lord DENMAN and a Common - Jury.) NICHOLSON AND OTHERS V. SRETTS. This was an issue directed to be tried under the Inter pleader Act, by virtue of an order from a judge of the Court of Banks uptcy, to determine the right of the defendant to 1001., claimed by him as an executive creditor out of the estate of Mr. Burford, late landlord of the Mason's Arms public-house, Horsemonger-lane. The plaintiffs are the assignees of Mr. Burford, who was made bankrupt in 1844, and that alle gation against the defendant is, that his claim was fraudulent and untrue, and got up for the purpose of depriving the other creditors of their thir share of the estate ; and further, that the defendant had acted collusively with the bankrupt, by which the former became an executive creditor at the time the fiat in bankruptcy - was issued. A number of witnesses were examined, the evidence of whom was of a very . contradictory character. Its tenor strongly supported the allegation that the transaction of the defendant, on which he founded his claim for 1001, and in virtue of which he had put in the execution, was of a collusive and fraudulent character, and done for the purpose of saving a pot tion of Burford's effects front passing into the haud3 of the assignees under the fiat of bankruptcy. pc jue: l ll i al i ru s el sy L .ja ncu o ur n dym n sluilmminetsmiPiatetweiddsetnaaotetietluloytirhi unsatisfactory nature. t vf e wo l y ra t o vh s e e r r dAd t ieef t i ftte e enfr e oc v le - v. i which, The aa n‘ n , tedi verb s r u t si By an ordonnance, dated the 17th June, the King of NAPLES has reduced the duties on manufactured tobacco from 30 to 18 ducats the quintal, and the duties on leaf tobacco from 15 to 9 ducats.

The EMPEROR, however, was nut there; an aide-de camp of the Grand Duke 111iciLtEL had been mis taken for him. No one was injured, although eight shots entered the carriage. There is such a scarcity of seamen for the mer cantile navy of Russia, that the EMPEROR has autho rised the issuing of passports to the masters of Russian vessels, even although their officers and crew consist of two-thirds foreigners. COMMON PLEAS —(THIS DAY) (Sittings at Prius, ,cu beforeli A N D Mr. o lllz Justice x l:RLE.) n Ey V. m3N Altdrid Papers of the 27th have been received. The Gazette publishes the new division of the Electoral Colleges, and a Government circular to the Political Chiefs on the subject of the approaching elections. The elections, it is supposed, will not be concluded before October, and the new Cortes, it is expected, will assemble in December. This was an action brought by Mr. Hay ley, glass-manu faancdtuj,eorm, p o a l n,, B . ishop Wearmouth, against Mery, Cummings also glass-manufacturers, residing at Gates head, to recover damages for enticing away tour workmen, who had been in the employment of the plaintiff under a contract. The damages were laid at 1,3044 138. 4d. Sir Thomas ilde ad Mr. Jaes appeaed for th plaintiff; Mr. Se W rgeant n Allen and Mr. Fry r for the de e fendant. Evidence was called to prove that the workmen in ques tion had been engaged under a mitten contract, and that they had been enticed away into the employment of the de fendant, by which the former had suffered great loss and in convenience. For the defence it was urged that. the contract was not a good one in law, being deficient in mutuality, as, while it provided that the workmen should do certain work for a given . time at a specified price, it did not provide that the employer should find the workmen with regular employment. His LORDSHIP thought that there was mutuality in the contract, and that the men under it would have had a good ground of action for any deficiency of employment that might arise. Mr. Sergeant ALLEN addressed the jury at some length in denial of the allegation, that the defendants had used any enticement to take away the workmen from the plaintiff, and in support of the point that the contract was of a de fective character. A verdict fur the plaintiff was given by the jury for 652/. 6s. Bd., with leave to move the full Court to enter a nonsuit, on account of want of mutuality in the contract, should their Lordships so interpret it. There was another case precisely similar, for enticing other four men away, for which a verdict of 652/. 6s. Bd. damages was also given --being 1,304/. 13s. 6d. in all.

The Learned CommissioNEtt, in the course of his proceed• ings, expressed great satisfaction at the conduct of the bank rupts,. which he said had been unusually honest and fair. As their losses were made apparent they lessened their ex penses, which had always been on a moderate scale ; the consequence would be that the creditors would receive a very large dividend. Mr. Orridge having died shortly after the bankruptcy, Mr. Pritchett had made up the accounts, which were of a peculiar nature, from Mr. Orridge having kept the books. The Learned COMMISSIONER allowed Mr. Pritchett eight guineas for his trouble. The amount of the dividend will be named in a few days. same time f u ll " The a di eux of Sir R. Peel were fu ll o f di g nity, b u t a t th e to wound an of the old Conservative party does go into Italy, we may be sure that he does not expect to be suffered to remain there, and that he will return. He explained the state of affairs of address. If, as it is reported, the leader very fully and clearly. He did not make any recriminations, and abstained altogether from polemics. was unwilling auxiliaries who have again become his enemies. This, how ever, did not prevent his saying some things which must have been extreme] • both. If his measures of y galling to Y one, neither his old friends nor his new reform had been rejected by the Parliament he would have appealed to the people ; but they were all accepted, and he himself admitted that men who introduced a policy directly opposite to their anterior declarations must bear the penalty of this inconsistency, and retire from power after having succeeded. Sir It. Peel has fallen under his great difficulty— Ireland ; but in taking a momentary leave cf power he rids himself of this eternal difficulty. This is one of the occasions on which he has shown his greatest judgment. That which has constituted the strength of the Whigs now becomes their weakness—the Irish policy. It was under this they fell in 1841, and it is by this that they rise again in 1846. For a long time the Whig policy has been associated I)ith an idea of goodwill and conciliation towards the Irish. Sir ft. Peel has taken care to deprive the Whigs of the monopoly of this pacific n P°•-cY, and reminds the people, with truth, that it is he who in later years has done most to realise and bring , into practice these principles of justice towards Ireland. He has done the same with regard to commercial policy. He promises the Whigs to give them his support in this, but on condition that they walk in the path he has traced out for them. Tr —e will sustain them it their policy is as liberal as his own—but then only. If Sir Robert Peel permits himself to talk thus on the very brink of his fall, he dictates laws to his successors and lays down fbr them clearly their programme.

SHEERNESS, THURSDAY.—A melancholy suicide took place here, in the person of a young midshipman of the Dido, Mr. R. Greig, whose appointment to the Dido was given a few days ago. He joined three weeks ago, but im• mediately asked for leave, which was granted to him, and from which he returned on Monday last. He was, therefore, almost wholly unknown to the officers of the Dido; all that was known of blm was, that he was some time in the Samarang, in the East Indies. On Tuesday, he dined at a tavern in Blue Town, with one or two of his messmates, when he showod no symptoms of a depression of spirits, one of whom accompanied him to the Royal Hotel, in Mile Town, where he spent that night; and on being called next morning, as he requested, answered "all right." As he did not make his appearance, however, he was called a second time, about nine o'clock, when he answered as b e f ore. On being called a third time, at noon, he made no answer. An alarm was raised, the door was broken open, and a me lancholy spectacle presented itself. The young man was found stretched and lifeless on the floor, with a pistol in his right hand, and his upper extremities saturated with blood. He had shot himself through the head, inserting the pistol in his mouth. No report, strange to say, had been heard. An inquest was held on view of the body to-day, when a verdict was returned "That the deceased had shot himself while in a state of temporary insanity." LORD WILLIAM RIISSELL.—Letters were received yesterday morning by the Duke of Bedford an d L or d J o h n Russell, from Genoa, giving more favourable accounts of the health of Lord William Russell.

Like the abolition of sla very, if it do not immediately destroy the vicious systems of other ,countries, it will eventually undermine them, and a healthy tone will the sooner be produced, the sooner our potent "free trade" elixir is taken. A cargo of 10,000 West India pine-apples has been re ceived by the Senhora, Captain Brown, in the short space of twenty-six days, from Eleuthera, New Providence, consigned to Keeling and Hunt, a portion of which will be submitted to public sale on Monday. The supply of this delicious fruit to the public at a moderate cost affords another practical feature of the working of an amended tariff; and of its power to add to the luxuries of this country the produce of foreign growth. In this instance our colonies are assisted most directly and visibly, a circumstance to be noted, because indirect benefits are not always acknowledged.

THE NEW MINISTRY. The following appointments have been made since our last announcement : Master of the Mint Right Hon. R. L. SHELL. Secretary of the Board of Admiralty H. G. WARD, Esq. Attorney-General One of the Lords of the Treasury Under Secretary for the Home Department .. Sir WM. SOMERVILLE. Under Secretary for Fo- The Right Hon. E. J. reign Affairs STANLEY. Lord Advocate A. RUTHERFORD, Esq. The Duchess of SUTHERLAND Will be Mistress of the Robes. We understand that either Mr. C. BULLBR or Mr. liswzs will be Under-Secretary for the Colonies. LORD JOHN RussELL.—his Lordship received visits this morning, at his residence in Chesham place, from several of his political friends. The new Ministerial arrangements, it is understood, are nearly completed, and Lord JOHN RUSSELL is expected to leave town this afternoon for Wimble don. His Lordship will remain at Wimble don, with Lady Jour.; RUSSELL, until Monday, on which day it is confidently expected that a Privy Council will be held at Buckingham Palace, when the members of the new Administratien will be sworn into office, and will receive their respective seals. The magnificent banquet given last night, at the Reform Club, to his Highness IBRAHI3I PACHA, pre sents many circumstances of an extraordinary character, the effect of which will not be lost on the illustrious Prince in whose honour the entertain ment was provided. The heir-apparent of one of our firmest allies, the future Sovereign of a great and important terri tory, in war the gallant and victorious General, in peace the eminent agriculturist and zealous cultivator of all the arts and sciences, by which the social relations, the tastes, and habits of civilised life, are ameliorated and improved; he had not rested in the enjoyment of luxurious ease, but had determined to visit other nations, to become an eye-witness of their institutions and manners, their manufactures and commercial arrangements , not for the gratification of an idle curiosity, but in the same spirit by which PETER, the GREAT was animated to investigate fully the causes by which national prosperity was attained, and, as far as practicable, to introduce into his own country the improvements he saw practised in other nations, to effect extensive and valuable reforms in the civil and political institutions of his people. Such were the objects of his journey ; and it is little to be wondered at that the first public entertain ment should be given to him by the Reform Club—a body of gentlemen associated together in honour and commemoration of the triumph of the great na tional reform by which our Legislature was purified, and the popular branch of the Senate practically made, what in theory it purported to be, a real representation of the people, from which have sprung the vast benefits of later days—the removal of the taxes on a nation's food, the triumph of free trade, and the abolition of all commercial restrictions. The Chairman, who ably presided over the banquet, and who proposed the health of the illustrious guest, was the hero by whom his progress had been checked, and his triumphant career arrested, and his victories turned into defeat; but not the less cordial was the feeling that subsisted between these gallant men because they had been arrayed against each other in hostile ranks—each recognised in the other an opponent worthy of his arms—and such men must ever entertain the most profound respect and esteem for each other. The nobleman by whom the health of his royal father was proposed had formerly, when filling a high and important public situation, to which he has just been restored, after a secession from office of nearly five years, felt it to be his painful duty, in the conscientious discharge of the functions of his office, and in the maintenance of the balance of power, to oppose that father in his most cherished plans, and to interpose the arms of Great Britain between him and the accomplishment of his most ardent wishes. To this nobleman was entrusted the more pleasing task of bearing his testimony to the honourable course pursued by MenemeT Ant, under such irritating circumstances, towards the British subjects and British interests, placed within his power for a time, which, as he truly said, was that of a most generous foe. The occasion, too, was an auspicious one : that very evening the acceptance of office by a new Ad ministration was announced to the country by their seats being vacated and new writs moved for in the House of Commons, pursuant to the con stitutional principle, which declares that on a repre sentative of the people being appointed to a situation of emolument under the Crown, he must resign into the hands of the people by whom he was elected the trust reposed in him, and receive their sanction as to the propriety of his conduct before he can again sit or vote in Parliament. The late Ministry had been singularly successful during their term:of office ; the nation had enjoyed a long period of commercial activity and prosperity, almost without precedent; the finan cial affairs of the country had been placed on a firm basis ; and, notwithstanding the reduction of many taxes, by which the industry of the working classes had become oppressed, an increased and increasing revenue bore the strongest testimony to the soundness of the principle acted on. The wars in which this country had been unhappily engaged were brought to a peaceful and happy termination, and the honour of the British name and the British arms had passed untarnished through the ordeals by which it had been tested ; but, far beyond all, the force of public opinion had achieved a peaceful victory by the force of reason and argument only. Monopolies were extinguished, the glorious principles of free trade had triumphed to the utmost extent, and mea sures giving full effect to the earnest wishes of the nation had just received the royal assent, and yet the Minister by whom all this was effected, and who had gained for himself the greatest popularity, had fallen in the moment of his most brilliant triumph. And why ? Because he had, although conscientiously, yet, as it was conceived, unnecessarily, or at least after the great and pressing necessity had ceased, attempted to carry measures of coercion by which the liberties of a portion of our fellow -countrymen would be interfered with and abridged. This is a lesson which cannot be thrown away on a Prince of so much intelligence and judgment as IBRAHIM Piths. We trust that he will take it deeply to heart; and be guided thereby in his future career, arid that he may thence discover that the true interests of a Government are best promoted by insuring the constitutional freedom of the go vereed, by obeying the voice of the people, and keep ing up in the most liberal and enlightened manner to the spirit of the times. That he will be inclined to act in this manner we firmly believe, and we sin cerely trust that Egypt may have just cause to rejoice at the visit of this Prince to the British nation. It is gratifying to observe the entire absence of party prepossession and factitious rivalry in the selection which Lord JouN RussEx.L has made of his col leagues. This peculiarity of his Mini3terial arrange ments itsi lased beau curial to az ezem—but excess which ; while it is in accordance with the liberal tendencies of the age, does not deteriorate from his character as a sagacious and discriminating leader. Whatever ill-success may have attended his en deavours to break down still further the barriers of political partizanship, by the amalgamation of the retiring and the approaching Cabinet, his proposi tion to retain Lord DALHOUSIE at the head of the Board of Trade, and Lord Luscout in the Secretary ship for Ireland, was worthy of this ever-memorable crisis ; it was worthy of the catastrophe of parties ; it was peculiarly rind eminently worthy of so illustrious a Reformer as the now Prime Minister of England, Lord JOHN RUSSELL. A more signal method could scarcely have been adopted to proclaim that the policies of the new Administration would be based upon the most comprehensive and en larged principles—that the RUSSELL Cabinet would not be conventional but cosmopolitan. These most gratifying announcements were virtually made on the noble Premier's visit to the residence of the ex-First Lord of the Treasury, at Whitehall-gardens. The announcement was thereby made implicitly, but it was yesterday delivered explicitly through the ad dress issued by Lord JOHN RUSSELL to the electors of the City of London. From the tenor of that remarkable letter it is easy to perceive the scope of the reformatory intentions which his Ministry is determined to fulfil—a scope of conspicuous breadth and generosity. Satisfied, however, as every rational man must be with the certainty of future improvement to Great Britain, through the instrumentality of those Minis terial measures which will proceed from a Cabinet guided by such a statesman as Lord JOHN RUSSELL, it becomes a matter of no inconsiderable importance to remark in the expressions of his Lordship's address, the germs of those constitutional reforms which it will be his particular pleasure to advance. Far from considering that commercial freedom has been altogether realised by the extraordinary achieve ments of his predecessor, and far from indo lently abandoning himself to quietude in regard to the removal of still existing restrictions, Lord JOHN at once proclaims his determination to con summate what has been so gloriously commenced, and not to abandon such matters until free trade is universally applied throughout this country. In proof of this resolution he observes, " I trust that the measures of commercial freedom which still re main to be accomplished will not occasion the renewal of angry conflict." It is not difficult to perceive that the sugar duties are implicated in this sentence, Having thus guaranteed the realisation of the most cherished hopes of the multitude, the Noble Lord assumes to himself a still bolder and loftier position by the declaration of the abstract truth, that " Great social improvements are required !" He thereby kindles up the expectations of the people, nor are these expectations quenched by any mincing pro gramme of the improvements which he conceives to be so requisite, and for the attainment of which it will be the purpose of his Administration to struggle. Foremost among what Lord JOHN considers to be the national grievances, we perceive that of the in sufficiency of popular instruction :—" Public educa tion," says he, "is lamentably imperfect." Next in importance, according to the Noble Lord, is the re organisation of the criminal code ; or, as he happily expresses it, " the treatment of criminals is a pro blem yet undecided." Again, the diffusion of health among the population of the empire appears to be a subject calling loudly for the interposition of both Parliament and Ministers. Lord J. RUSSELL acknowledges the necessity of some immediate atten tion to that demand, where he says, " The sana tory condition of our towns and villages has been grossly neglected." So much for the especial improvements proposed by the new Ad ministration with regard to Great Britain in a gene ralised point of view, and with reference to which many especial circumstances are, as a matter of course, understood ; in other words, there are the " ablative absolutes" of local reform. For example, the entire system of model prisons and solitary confinement, and the proportions of punishment to proportionate crimes, and the establishment at Pen tonville, are all to be comprehended in the simple reference to " the treatment of criminals." Again, the Normal schools, the " Godless colleges," the religious endowments, the prevailing ignorance of \Vales, and, we heartily trust, the "ragged schools" themselves, will all become points of inquiry when the imperfect state of "public education " is scruti nised. While the demolition of rookeries in our towns, the construction of spacious streets, the sewerage, public baths and washhouses, proper ven tilation, and the removal of burying-grounds out of our cities, will each, we are fain to believe, come under the categorical title of improving the sanatory condition of the population. With regard, however, to the particular exigencies of our sister island Lord JOHN RUSSELL speaks in definite and decisive terms ; he conceives the position of that land to be singularly exigent, fur he remarks—" Our recent dia • cussions have laid bare the misery, the discontent, and outrages of Ireland; they are too clearly authenti cated to be denied ; too extensive to be treated by any but the most comprehensive measures." No thing, indeed, could be more glorious or propitious than the character of the address written by the new Premier to his metropolitan constituents, showing us, as that letter does, the dawn of a moral, social, political, and national ad vancement in Great Britain, which if the RUSSELL Administration be aided by the approval of the people, will insure to this country advantages almost incalculable. With that address before them the electors of London cannot remain indifferent as to the triumphant return of the Prime Minister as the representative of this great city. They must not, if they consider the interest of themselves and of the community at large, permit the seat, which has be come vacant by Lord JOHN being summoned to the head of affairs, to remain unoccupied beyond the time necessary for the routine of as ordinary election. With the consistent and disinterested conduct of Lord JOH/4 RUSSELL during the recent discussions fresh in their recollections, with a grateful memory of his celebrated free-trade missive addressed to themselves, knowing the distinguished and un swerving character of his whole political career, and knowing also that party distinctions are now for ever abolished, the electors of the City of London must assuredly return their illustrious candidate tri umphantly and speedily. Let the metropolis set an example of promptitude and liberality to those boroughs which will be rendered vacant by the Ministerial changes, and public business msy be commenced forthwith. On Friday week we inserted a letter signed " R. S. M.." and headed " What should the Allottees do?" questioning the justice of the opinions we have from time to time put forward respecting the legal and moral liabilities of the allottees of railway shares. Our correspondent manifestly sympathises with the provisional committeemen, but he put forward his views with so much fairness and moderation, and at the same time with so much ability and cogency, that, although differing from our own opinions on the subject, we hesitated not to give insertion to his letter. The question of the legal liability of the allottects has been settled by a much higher authority than that either of our correspondent or of ourselves. The Court of Exchequer unanimously pronounced their judgment in the case of IVALSTAB v. SPOTTIS WOODS, that the allottee was not liable for any portion of the preliminary expenses, and this decision was the more valuable, as no new principle was thereby introduced, but one of much importance, which had stood the test of many years' experience, and which had never been judicially questioned or controverted, was sanctioned and affirmed, viz., " that where persons set a scheme on foot, and assume to be the managers of it, all the expenses incurred before the scheme is in actual operation must be sustained by them if that scheme should afterwards be abandoned?' That principle, so long as it is held to be good law, must, as we conceive, govern the p o i n t a t i ssue , an d i n the still later case of WONTNER V. SHARP, it was recog nised and extended by a judge of another court. Originally promulgated in the Queen's Bench, it was received with unanimous approbation by the full Court of Exchequer, who founded their decision thereon, and was subsequently put to the jury as undoubted law by a judge of the ( '. , mrrion Pleas. We cannot, therefore, permit the provisional committee men to indulge in the pleasing but delusive hope that there is any probability of the rule being Altered for their LLOYD'S SHIPPING.-(THIS DAY LONDON.

AWFUL CONFLAGRATION AT SOHAM. (Abridged from the Cambridge Chy ()nick.) About lair-past one o'clock yesterdsv morning the townof Soham was again a rouse d by the dreadful cry of W e ' which commenced on the premises of Mrs. Peachey, w idoWl in Hall-street, and near the spot wh ere t wo o th er fires bac ° happened within the last fortnight. We have not time to state full particulars, having now left the spot where the fire is still raging, although somewhat abated. The follow' ing will give a brief sketch of the extent of this awful e 3 A " . !amity. Thirteen houses have been b urne d t o th e g round' viz., the Globe public-house;. house at the back, in the °WI' pat ion of William King, shoemaker •, shop, &c., of la r Robert Caen, wheelwright ; house. &c., o f M r . Edwar d Mune, blacksmith ; house, shop, and goods of Mr. Ila t , vey, grocer and draper; louse, &c., of Mr. Hicks, carp, ,„ en r, ter; the whole of the exte ns i ve f arm i ng p rem i ses o f ft- 1 „ Edward Staples, t )gether with a ne w ly- erec t e d m ill of 1 0 11 ; stones; the house, &c., of Job My son , w h ee l wr i g ht; house and shop of Mr. Horsley, blacksmith; the house, °'"j of Robert Ginn, shoemaker; all the extensive premises 0 1 farm-buildings (with the exc e pti on o f th e d we lli ng - hoes?, of Mrs. John Malden ; h ouse an d prem i ses o f M rs . $3l l Peachey ; Mr. John Pettit, &c. &c. ct There can be no doubt but that this i s th e diabolical ,-- A of incendiarism, as it evidently broke ou t i n Yari°' to places at the same time. But for the active and persevering efforts of the SI . 11 „, $ ; bitants of the town generally, one end of the town Ow . have been a complete ruin. Of course it is impossible to estimate accttrater o , e amount of damage done by this shocking occurrence, 21,, t o f apprehend it cannot be less than 5,0004 nearly the wh o leol which is insured in the Suffolk, and some in the Noret' Union Office. c alr The number of persona rendered homeless by this miry is 79, and the condition of some of them is very dep io ip able. But they will be cared for by their neighllo o the best way that circumstances will allow. MR. COBDEN, M.P. The following address has been sent by Mr. Cobden to th. electors of Stoc kp ort.
