Rothschild and Ricardo, are earnestly requested to publish the N ew Memorial to the Spanish Government, and to have the Caine left for general Signature either at the Mansion-house or at the London Zavern, or at thn Committee-rooms, or call a pub lic Meeting, as undreds of per.ions are anxious to attach their signatures who are deeply intereste I either in the 41,000,0001. to 50,009,0001. of Active Bonds (with near 12,000,0001. of Coupons attached, and unpaid), or In the 3,000,000 of undrawn Deferred, or in the 12,000,000 of Passive Bonds. The Committee and the gentlemen who contracted the different LOPII3 must see that all the benefit derived by the holders of the Active Stock since 183 d consists i n the funding, at par, if only four out of ten years, overdue interest on which only three pet cent. I n - terest is payable, notwithstand in g the greater portion of the Active Stock was reduced by thirty-three per cent. in 1834. This slight benefit to the Creditors was (to his honour be it said) conferred by Senor Surra y Rul, even during the progress of the civil war. But si:years , of uninterrupted peace (with largely increased revenues) renders frother and liberal measures of concessions, in some form or another, imperative on the present Finance Minister.

The evening's amuse ments comprised comic and sentimental songs, and dances characteristic of the period referred to, varied with the truly wonderful performance s of Signor Corvi's corps of monkeys,_ dogs, and goats, and a brilliant display of fi rew orks. The evening's entertainments wound up with a grand ball. The company, which was highly respectable, seemed delighted with the bill of fare provided for them.

With the phy3ical prostration of the body the powers of the mind de cline, and with them the influences of morality are seriously diminishe 1. In every point of view, then, in regard of national strength, of national intel lect, and of national virtue, our legislative guardians cannot fulfil a more important duty than by pur suing with the closest attention everything that is calculated to minister to the sanatory condition of the people. It was, therefore, with heartfelt satisfaction, that we }mile.' the Premier's announcement, on his acces sion to power, that the consideration of the public health would be a leading feature in the category which he should submit to his colleagues in council. Such a momentous subject could not be under better auspices than those of Lord JOHN RUSSELL, who is as humane as he is philosophical. The present season of the year, and the prevalence amongst us of a disorder, which passes under the name of English cholera, would seem to demand the adoption of pudic measures of temporary pre caution, and we have no doubt the Government will do all that is becoming on their part. It is pretty well establishel that cholera is epi demical, and not contagious, and it was remarked during its destructive career upon its first fearful vi sitation amongst us, that its effects were most severe in all cities and .towns where the population was the densest and the most miserable, and where the atmos phere was tainted by concentrated masses of stagnant filth. In Ireland, therefore, its ravages were most keenly experienced. It is to the speedy removal of all such incentives to &same, in whatever shape they may present themselves, that the attention of all local authorities should be promptly aroused, and all necessary powers conceded to them for warding off the evils of pestilence. We shall return to this subject. Intelligence has been received from Athens to the 12th instant. M. COLETTI has suffered two defeats in the Chamber of Representatives. A Government Bill, making all males of a certain a4e liable to the conscription, has been thrown out by a majority of one ; and another, rendering soldiers liable to serve in the army of reserve for three years, has been modified by the Opposition, who succeeded in reducing the three years to one. Accounts from Berlin of the 21st August, published in the German Journal of Frankfort, state that the King of PRUSSIA had approved of the project of a constitution which would be promulgated on the 3d ofAugust. The Assembly of the States' General, com posed of eight Diets, is to take place in one Chamber, but the Nobles will be present as a separate order, and have a separate vote. M. JAROKOWSKI, the Director of the Establish ment of General Credit of the province of Posen, was arrested on the Ist July, and taken to Sonnenburg. The King of DENMARK has published a decree, declaring that all the domains of the Crown are to be farmed out, and placed under the direction of the Society of the Peasants' Friend 3, a society the mem bers of which are exclusively of the farming class. Madrid papers of the 23d have arrived. The Herald() publishes the trial of the sixteen per sons arrested at Pampeluna on a charge of conspi racy. They were ANGEL CIRIA, ex-President of a revolutionary junta; Don Rastox ELIZALDE, for merly an officer in the National Guard; an ex cap tain of cavalry ; ten sergeants, and three others. They were found guilty, and the Procurator-fiscal de manded that capital punishment should be inflicted upon five of them ; but the tribunal refused to com ply with his requislition, and sentenced some to the presidios and others to banishment. Don FRANCISCO D'ASSIS had been detained at Pampeluna, in consequence of the discovery of this conspiracy, and it was exceedingly doubtful whether he would arrive at Madrid in time to be present at the royal fete. Spanish troops had been sent towards the Portuguese frontier, for the purpose, according to one report, of preventing the Spanish refugees in Portugal from entering Spain, but, according to another rumour, their march was intended as a demonstration in support of a demand made on Portugal to deliver up certain Spanish subjects as deserters, compliance with which had been refused by the Portuguese Government. The Madrid Gazette publishes an announcement by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of his having re ceived from the Belgian Minister at Madrid an official communication, stating the Belgian Senate has ap proved of the Bill for proroguing the period allowed for the free importation of Spanish corn into Belgium: MADRID BOURSE. — Three per Cents., 334. 'We have received the Paris papers of Tuesday. The Presse speaks in terms of the highest approval of the speech of M. GUIzOT at Lissieux, because it shows that a policy of progress is henceforth to be the policy of the Ministry. On Tuesday M. GUIzoT arrived unexpectedly in Paris, having been sent for suddenly by the KING. Of course the suddenness of the summons had given rise to all sorts of rumours. M. GUIzOT will not, it is said, remain in Paris more than two days. According to the Courrier Francais, the Sardinian Government has protested against the capture of the Notre Dame de Grace, a Sardinian vessel, taken oft the coast of Africa by the French schooner Fine as a suspected slaver. An inquiry is to be instituted into the circumstances attending the capture, A Geneva journal states that the Russian Le gation in Switzerland has given notice that in future it will grant no visa for the passports of per sons wishing to go to Russia as teachers.

SUPPLEMENT TO THE " LONDON G AZETTE."— A supplement to the London Gazette, containing the ceremonial observed at the baptism of the Princess Helena Augusta Victoria, on Saturday last, at Buckingham Palace, was pub lished this morning. MELANCHOLY DEATH FROMLOCK-JAW. ---- Last night, at seven o'clock, Mr. William Carter held an inquest at the King and Queen Tavern, High-street, Newington, respecting the death of William Bradley, jun,. aged 23 years, the son of Mr. William Bradley, residing at No. 8, Newington Butts. The deceased left home on the morning of Friday, the 10th instant, on horseback, for the purpose of proceeding to Cam den-town, and while on the way home at a rapid pace the horse stumbled and threw the deceased over its neck with great violence. He was raised up by the foot passengers and taken to his home, where be was seen by Mr. Hicks, the surgeon, who discovered that he bad received a severe lacerated and contused wound of the knee pan. Mr. Hicks immediately applied the necessary remedies, under which he progressed until the following Thursday,. when the inflammation appeared to have subsided and the wound was nearly healed. On Monday, the 20th, he was much worse, and the family became alarmed. Mr. Hicks was sent for iu great haste. On his arrival the deceased complained of stiffness in the jaw. It was then discovered that symptoms of tetanus or lock-jaw had come on. Every thing that medical science suggeAed was adopted, and up to Thursday last the deceased appeared to be improving, which gave some hope to his friends of his recovery. On Friday very unfavourable symptoms came on ; he continued to get worse, and died at five o'clock on Saturday morning last. The jury returned a verdict of "Accidental death from lock jaw, caused by a fall." THE GEOLOGICAL DEANS.—The Very Rev. Dean Cockburn, of York, has recently been amusing himself by sending some puzzling geological questions to his erudite brother Buckland, of Westminster, at the same time request ing a public di: cussion upon them.

HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN DOWAGER.-It is ex pected that her Majesty the Queen Dowager will return to England from her Continental visit the end of August. The Black Eagle, Admiralty steam-yacht, Master Corn mander Cook, is under orders at Woolwich to proceed to Rotterdam on the 28th of August, there to embark her Majesty, who, it is expected, will land at Woolwich from that place._ _ _ _ STEAM COMPETITION.—Some of the boats to Vaux hall have reduced their charges to 2d. each passenger, to suit the additional demand for conveyance to the Richmond Railway. ,elll3l )1 -11. t , LONDON, THURSDAY. JULY 30, 1846. Taking advantage of the absence of Mr. O'CONNELL, the hot-brained advocates of the physical force move ment have been blowing their penny trumpets in Conciliation-hall most lustily. These precocious young gentlemen, not satisfied with bearding that venerable patriot to his face, have ever since his departure scoffed his recommendations—derided his policy—reviled his recent proceedings—and virtually spat upon his authority. And—alas ! for the influence of friendship and the bonds of gratitude—foremost amongst this tumultuary band of upstarts appears that very eccentric personage, Mr. SmrTu O'BRIEN. On Monday, after a most indecent display of violence and a most fractious evidence of hostility, these avowed champions of pikes, brick bats, and les lotternes, deliberately withdrew from the Repeal Association, and bade farewell to the precincts of the Corn Exchange. Heartily do we congratulate the Irish people upon this catastrophe, and sincerely do we trust that the partizans of the Liberator are never again to be harassed by the impertinence of these political firebrands. Separated from that sin gular association and from its illustrious leader, the martyr of the coal-celler will incontinently find his level again, and may possibly pine for the days when he was puffed up to a very disproportionate elevation by the undeserved eulogiums of O'CONNELL. Ile may pine for the days when under the prestige of that extraordinary man, he, Mr. WILLIAM SMITH O'BRIEN, was deluded into the belief of his import ance. It is but natural that the individual who could , sulk in a dirty little room adjoining the Parliament House, because his attendance had been required upon certain railway committees, and who imagined thereby that he had acquired immortality as a martyr of Irish liberty—it is but natural, we say, that such an individual should mistake the language of BOIIADIL for eloquence, and the tactics of BOBADIL for wisdom. But we are amazed that one who evinces the possession of such a lively imagination should be so entirely divested of common sense as to believe himself capable of superseding the Liberator. Does Mr. Satrru O'BRIEN forget that it is solely through the complacency of Mr. O'CONNELL that he has been enabled to emerge from obscurity; that his present prominent position as a representative of Irish opinion is attributable. solely to Mr. O'CoNNELL's patronage ? That if he, Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN, has been a chieftain among his fellow-countrymen, he has only attained that elevation, like the Grecian monarchs of old, by being raised upon the shield of O'CONNELL? Does not Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN remember that, unless the Liberator had proclaimed to the multitude that an oracle was about to address them, they would have beheld in him, Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN merely a middle-aged gentleman of very ordinary capacities ? Does he not feel that it has been through the instrumentality of O'CoNNELL, and through the instrumentality of O'CONNELL alone— not, ttN from iE any inherent genius— that he, Mr. SMITH o B has occupied any particular share of public attention? Knowing and feeling all this, where is his frietiship, where is his gratitude for such ge nerous and magnanimous condescension ? As to the moral possibility of his superseding the Liberator as the leader of the Irish population, the notion is alto gether dispelled by a comparison of the two men . Surely the homeliest intellect would recog nise the disparity between them. A sensible Irish. man need scarcely be asked his opinion as to the fitness of O'CONNELL or O'BRIEN for so reponsible and distinguished au office. O'CONNELL, the tried, con sistent, resolute, enthusiastic patriot; who has pleaded during so many years, and with such a touching and beautiful eloquence, for the extinction of the woes of his afflicted race ; whose indomitable zeal obtained a voice in the national Legislature for the members of that Church in whose pale seven eighths of his fellow -countrymen were numbered ; whose ardour is not the animation of a momentary caprice, but the predominating influence of a long life; whose oratory has not merely elicited the acclamations of the people, but has acquired boons fur his native land ; who has rejected honour and emolument, when both might have been pur chased by his silence ; who has fought the good fight of patriotism through evil report and good report, through panegyric and vituperation, manfully to the last devoting to the cause of his country the bloom of his youth and the prime of his manhood! And for the desertion of this man the Irish are to be lured by that very excellent person, Mr. WrLmAnt SMITH O'BRIEN! We are the more indignant at the impudence of such a movement as this, first, from our unaffected respect for the character of that re nowned and venerable patriot, DANIEL O'CONNELL; and secondly, because in that movement is involved one of the most pernicious doctrines of political domination; we mean the doctrine of physical force. In all ages and in all countries that terrible doctrine has, whenever it has been adopted, brought with it countless curses and infinite wretchedness. Its acceptance is, in short, nothing less than the legalisa tion of civil war. It is substituting the divine right of monarchy to the divine right of murder. Where was this truth more lamentably evinced than in the first glorious revolution of France, beginning so nobly with the mental struggles of the Tiers Etats for liberty, and merging into the riots of living creatures, with the forms of men and the hearts of demons ? Was the object of that gigantic re volution attained, the more s9curely or speedily by the resort of the Parisians to physical force ? Was it not, in fact, retarded ? Did it not arouse through out the monarchies of Europe that great spirit of op position which twice conducted the allied armies to the walls of Paris, and forced upon the French people the representative of that Bourbon dynasty which they hoped to have annihilated by the execution of Louts XVI. ? Then, again, as an instance of the beniticence and potency of moral force as a wea pon for political reformation, what could be more triumphant or less pernicious than that gigantic force—the League—the principal motor of which was COBDEN ? We regret this recent division in the Irish party, because of the possibility of its proving detrimental to the interests of that luckless island. But we are heartily rejoiced at the decisive nature of this 'division, because it will relieve Mr. O'CoNNELL from a grievous and intolerable incum brance. Let Mr. WILLIAM Shunt O'BRIEN take our word for it, he is not in the smallest particular suited for a WASHINGTON : he would appear to better advantage, devouring tea and dry toast in a coal-cellar, than directing the forces at some Irish Thermopylw. Mr. O'CONNELL is now prepared to await the decision of the new Govern ment with reference to his country. Let us hope that the policy to be pursued by the RUSSELL Admi nistration will satisfy the more moderate hopes of the Liberator, and for ever dispel the chimera of Repeal. A very interesting discussion took place last night, in the House of Commons, on the question of the re committal of the Art-Unions Bill. We regret ex ceedingly that Sir R. PEEL, who has so highly dis tinguished himself by the judicious patronage which he has afforded to art, and the liberal assistance which he has ever been so ready to extend to artists labour ing under a temporary embarrassment; who, in the moment of his own trial, when preparing an answer to the wicked and unfounded personal attacks so plausibly put forward, could yet find time to respond so promptly to the appeal of the unfortunate HAYDOIV, should be found in the ranks of the opponents of the measure. The late Premier rested his opposition principally on. the ground that the step about to be taken was an exception to right principle, and that, like all such exceptions, they would reap much practical inconve nience from it; in fact, it was in principle a lottery, and open to all the objections that existed against such a system. Now, with all respect for the Right Hon. Baronet, we cannot at all agree with the opinion he has formed. Lotteries unquestionably excited a spirit of gambling amongst the people; the large prizes that were offered held out inducements to the middle classes, who, seeing a prospect, however remote it might be, of at once being raised from poverty to •comparative affluence, "were too frequently allured into speculatin 2.: far be yond their means, and drawn from their legitimate avocations by the pleasing, but dangerous excitement. Thi3 danger, would however, be avoided in a great degree, if the amount risked by each was li mited to a single guinea, and if the prize, when gained, was not a pecuniary one, by the acquisition of which the ordinary labours of the individual might be dis pensed with. In the art-unions a number of persons unite together, and each subscribes a certain sum, generally one guinea. From the fund so created a certain sum is set apart in the first instance for the promotion of art, by giving premiums in certain branches, the cultivation and attain ment of perfection in which has not been hitherto sufficiently attended to ; for example, see the list of prizes offered by the London Art-Union, Irish Art-Union, and others, for various specimens of art, of different kinds, in those departments which the committees considered to require fostering and en couragement; then an engraving, in a high style of art, was given to each individual subscriber, which alone exceeded in value the amount of his subscription. The committee were enabled to give one so valuable from the fact of the large number of copies that were required and the great facilities afforded to them for obtaining the best subjects. So far we meet with nothing in the least resembling a lottery, or which can be said to savour of gambling in the remotest degree. But then it will be said, there is the drawing of the prizes. True, there is the drawing of the prizes, but the possessor of the fortunate ticket does not make_ any pecuniary profit of his prize. The money never comes into his hands. He chooses a picture, or pictures, for which the treasurer pays the artist. But it may be said he may sell his picture. He may ; but if the picture was a 300 guinea one, for instance, it would at once become known, and he would be expelled the society, unless he could give some good reason for so immediately disposing of it ; and if it were a prize of small value the amount to be realised would be so little that no sane person would think it worth his while to run the risk of discovery. We must confess, certainly, that we do not see any violation of principle in the sup. port given to the Art-Unions Bill. The law at present permits persons to play at a game of chance, provided each does not lose more than 101. at one sitting, and admitting, for the sake of argument, that the drawing of the Art- Union is a game of chance (an admission, how ever, that we by no means make), still, as each person can only lose a fractional part of a guinea, for the value of the engraving must be de ducted from the supposed loss, it is not more illegal than any other game ,of chance; and, to be con sistent, those who would declare art-unions ille gal must be prepared to go much further, and to denounce and punish as crimes all games of chance, however low may be the stake, and all bets of every sort and description. But we need not have recourse to this argument ; we deny altogether that the drawing of the Art-Unioa is in the same category as the drawing of the State Lottery, and it is for those who assert that it is so to prove their position. Of all subjects entitled to the unremitting attention of the statesman, security for the public health is second to none. A hardy and numerous race of people is of the first consequence to a nation. It is the chief element of its power, the broad foundation, upon which, if ever, the superstructure of its great ness must be raised. Secure, as far as human means can extend, the enjoyment of health to the public at large, and, under the blessing of PROVIDENCE, the concomitant advantages to the State become inappre ciable. The hardier you render its inhabitants, the greater the natural; power at command for any purpose required. Not only in the case of national defence is this advantage felt among the rudest people, but also among the most civilised. The be nefit, however, is of greatest account in periods of peace, when each man is, or ought to be, striving to add to the store of national wealth, in order to ag grandize the means for increasing the welfare and happiness of his country. Give the citizen every security for the preservation of his health, and, by the rapid development of his physical, mental, and moral energies, the greatness of the reward exceeds all esti-. mate. On the other hand, neglect the precautions which the fruits of experience and the improvements in medical science dictate, and the loss to the nation MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was fairly ac tive. Sales 6,000 to 7,000 bales, at full rates.—Shares have been steady. There is a useful intimation made in a communication from the French Consul at Copenhagen to his ilevernment, for the guidance of shippers to the Baltic ports, &c. ' It appears to be the custom of the Danish authorities to charge the sound dues ad valorem On the merchandize in cargo, and if the invoices specify, as is stated to be the case, at least in many instances with Prench gands, the quantity and not the value, the Danish Customs' officers affix an arbitrary value of their own—a manifest in jury to the shipper, which, as is contended, may be avoided. By private ship there have recently been some rather con siderable parcels of gold received, and it may be inferred that the balance of trade with that country is rather favour able to us. There is to be a new experiment made, under favour of the amended tariff, which cannot but prove of great interest to both the manufacturers and consumers of this country. Mr. James Wilkinson is to offer for public competition a quantity of French de laine fabrics, plain and printed, to gether with many other articles, and there will be an ouportunity afforded of judging to the fullest extent whe ther our manufacturers have anything to fear from foreign competition in the home market. As regards the plain goods, the skill of the Manchester houses will soon give them an enhanced value, which must be preferable to the introduction of printed fabrics ; though in our opinion, even if the latter come in extensively, there will be advantages rather than injury to be anticipated as regards both France and England, since with the former we may hope for some reciprocation of the new and enlight ened principles whieh our Legislature has boldly introduced as an example to the world at large. The Public Securities have been rather weaker this morn ing, and so far the advanced prices 'seem to have tempted sales. There is, however, not a great deal doing. Consols for Money have been quoted 95 to 96, and for Account 94% to 1, 4 . The premium on Exchequer-bills has been Os. to 135., being rather lower.

SMITH O'BRIEN, M.P. EXTRAORDINARY PROCEEDINGS. DUBLIN, TUESDAY EVENING, HALF-PAST SIX O'CLOCK.—It was quite clear, both from the speech of Mr. John O'Connell yesterday, and the line of policy which it was generally understood the " Young Ire land" party would pursue, that a rupture in the Associa tion was inevitable. Those who thought so have not been disappointed, though the result may have exceeded their anticipations. On the conclusion of Mr. John O'Connell's speech this day, which was chiefly confined to a condemnation of the Nation newspaper for its advo cacy of the principles of physical force, and an exposi tion of his father's policy wilh reference thereto, Mr. MITCHELL (generally believed to be the editor of the .Nation) undertook the defence of that journal, and was followed by Mr. MEAGHER, who proceeded to explain the grounde on which he differed with Mr. O'Connell as to the mo rality of using physical force for the achievement of national objects. He could not concur in the opinion propounded by Mr. O'Connell, that no political ameliora tion was worth the shedding of one drop of blod ; on the contrary, he held that there were many benefits of a national character which were well worth the expendi ture of much bloodshed. The young gentleman was proceeding to illustrate his argument by historical re ferences of a revolutionary nature, when Mr. JOHN O'ComsELL rose to order. lie averred that the line of argument pursued by Mr. Meagher was totally unjustifiable, and might be productive of the very worst consequences to the Association and to the country at large. Considerable uproar ensued. Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN protested that he could see nothing in the speech of Mr. Meagher that was at all objectionable, and put it to the meeting whether they would render themselves liable to the imputation of being enemies to free discussion by refusing to hear his friend. Great confusion in all parts of the meeting at this moment. Mr. JOHN O'CONNELL asserted that Mr. Meagher, by advocating principles of physical force, and thereby acting contrary to the fundamental rules of the Asso ciation, and to the resolutions recently adopted, vir tually ceased to be a member of the body. Unless the Association agreed with him in his view of the matter, he (Mr. J. O'Connell) would no longer continue to be a member of it, and then they might adopt what ever rules or principles they wished. A scene of the utmost confusion and excitement now prevailed, in the midst of which Mr. Smith O'Brien, accompanied by all the members of the " Young Ire land" party in the meeting left the hall, intimating that they had ceased to be members of the repeal con federation. After a short lapse of time, and when tranquillity was somewhat restored, Mr. Jolts O'CONNELL (who appeared to feel deeply the situation in which he was placed) ex pressed his heartfelt sorrow at the course which Mr. Smith O'Brien and his friends had thought proper to pursue. Nothing in his mind could be snore calamitous to the cause of Ireland than the secession of so many high-minded and talented individuals ; but in acting as he had done, he was merely fulfilling the dictates of his conscience, and what he conceived to be his duty to his country. In moving the adjournment of the Association to Monday next, he observed, that he might undertake to promise that on that day his father would be present, who should endeavour, as far as in him lay, to heal the wound which had just then been inflicted on Ireland. The meeting then separated.—•Clironicls. RAILWAY COMMITTEES (THIS DAY.) HOUSE OF LORDS. Room A. TAW VALE EXTENSION RAILWAY, Et 0 - 17 - 1 - XI DEVON IZAZIAITAY 11.1VIENIMENT ARID ICI rt .FLINTCTIMS .

This cause was argued on Friday and Saturday last, and his Honour to-day gave judgment in favour of the plaintiffs. lie said, after reading over the papers in the cause, the result was the confirmation of the opinion with which at the close of the defendants' case he was impressed; that the conduct of the executors in not preventing Mr. Tucker's action, and their defending the action as they did, was improper. The circumstance of the jury having given a verdict which allowed him 51. less, of which the executors at length de prived him, at an expense of sonic 2001., was immaterial, ex cept that the executors should be allowed the Si., and be treated as though they had paid him in full. He ordered the defendants to pay the plaintiffs 75/. Hs., and the costs of this suit, the defendants to have no costs. All other costs were reserved. SHERIFFS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Under-Sheriff Buncruir.t..) ROBERTS V. DAVIS. This was an action to recover 141. lie. 2d., the balance of an attorney's bill. It appeared by the evidence that the defendant was the petitioning creditor for a fiat in bankruptcy, and the costs had been taxed at 25/. I ls. 2d. The defendant had pleaded that he was not indebted, but did not appear to support the , plea.—Verdict for the plaintiff. PERRY V. STOATT. This was an action to recover the sum of 71. for work and labour done. The defendant pleaded that he was not indebted. The plaintiff is a stonemason, and the defendant is a licensed victualler at Notting-hill. On the part of the plaintiff it was shown that there had been a contract b e t ween the defendant and a p erson named Chippett for the erection of the Builders Arms public-house, but in May last Chippett said that he was unable to get materials and men, and an ii,,reement was entered into between them authorising de fendant to employ men, and Chippett went and told plaintiff that Stoatt (defendant) had taken the work into his own hands, and that defendant, on seeing plaintiff, told him to go on with the mason's work, and he would pay him. For the defendant, however, it we; shown that about 3001. had been paid to Chippett, who had money advanced every week to pay the workmen, and that Perry had himself aiked for money to be advanced to him on Chippett'sacacroeucneitp,:ayshifcohr wa s done, an d defendant also advanced m one y to other per sons on hippett's account, and the latter gave money paid to him under the contract.

Arthur Brough was called, and proved that he had under taken to sell the plaintiff's medicines on commission, and had had dealings with the defendant, but he could not s p eak positively to the ord er i n question, but believed he had re• ceived an order for four dozen of Sir Henry Halford's Royal Family Pills and six dozen cough pills. Defendant, how ever, wrote to say that he had done wry little with them, h he so little had been done in advertising in th e papers, althoug had made good use of the bills. gsseidtobugteth he could g ßy Mr. Ttiom lI As—e had been e n g • about the country and to sel l on commion , not remember how he had sold the goods.

The witness continued that he could not tell the value 0 the pills, as he did not know the ingredients, but the charge was 10s. 6d. per dozen boxes. The UNDER-SHERIFF said that if the witness could not say whether there was an actual sale or not the verdict meet go for the defendant.—Verdict for the defendant. DUTCH PAPERS. THE HAGUE, APRIL 27.—NEWS FROM VTR DI:TWIT PosSEssioN s IN INDIA.—The overland mail brought 0 , 5 the Batavia papers of the 26th May, 1846, from whieu we extract the following particulars: — The Government having freighted last month the ships Waterloo and Hugo Grotius, for the expedition W Bali, intended to wait for the arrival of the ships Flee , Europa, and Middelburg, but these ships having wet with some delay, it was decided last week that the esFe" dition should start without them, and for this purpose the ships Koophandel, Louisa, Johanna Maria, and King William IL, which was at anchor in the port of Sourabaga, were hired. The expedition is composed of 2,000 men, and a battery: 1,400 We e ' and ti.e battery, which were at Batavia, elp. barked yesterday. The Hugh Grotius, Johanna Maria, and Waterloo have the troops on boards the Koophandel will take the ammunition, and the Louise the battery, escorted by a schooner, for Sourabaga' where the King William 11, the Ceres frigate, seW e schooners, and two steamers, will join the expedition ; the whole squadron is under the command of Lieal': Colonel Bakker. It is said that his ExcellencY W . ; Governor-General is going to Sourabaya, to be fle a "' the scene of action. There are different opinions r e specting the probable result of the expedition. Se r % persons fear that the inhabitants of Bali will retire the mountains, and thus escape the attack of tr troops, for time enough has been given them to forts Y themselves, since they knew that an expedition was Pr e ; paring against them, and the English will have b ed e o f opportunity of supplying them with arms and means defences. Other persons, on the contrary, think that mere demonstration on cur part will suffice, and the•.. the inhabitants of Bali will speedily submit. It is .certain that the delay of the expedition for the want of Europ ean ships to carry the troops, and in consequence , possibility of an unfavourable result, may have a feta l 1 5 fluence on the Indian reputation. - The squadron Weis ready to sail from Batavia on the 26th of May. The King of Salaparang (Lambok), and his se ° ' having learnt that the Government intended to send military f.ree to Bali, to punish the King of Bating and Karang-Assem, for their infraction of the treaties signed by them, and for the insult offered to the Dutch flag, have sent five great men of their exar r a ," to Batavia, accompanied by a numerous suite, ivr_ letters from their sovereigns, in which these princes au; dare that the punishment which the Dutch Governtel; was going to inflict was well merited, because tt . Princes of Baliting and Karang - Assem bad acted 011` justly and in a hostile manner towards the governraerr of Dutch India, and they offer at the same time 0010 assistance and co-operation. The Embassy had a sel„ Pi lot audience of the Governor-General on the 26th. Governor-General, considering that it is desirable is the interest of the Netherlands, and of the possessions the East Indies, to facilitate the commercial °P er o tions of the mother country, and provide for the vle, of the Asiatic colonies, that a well-organised and s: ciently equipped mercantile fleet should be apPeil l o f offering all possible guarantees for the regular soree.,„ commercial affairs, and the conveyance of colonial rio duce belonging to the Government, has appointed , b e decree of 9th May, 1846, a commission to exatnirlemb the most extensive manner everything relative to Pe—of navigation on the Indian Seas, to the east of the CaPe s o Good Hope, to the coasting trade, ship building, fitting out of Teasels, the duties, charges, &e. f h is Rear-Admiral E. B. Van Ft;)seli, commander °„ te cl Majesty's naval force in the East Indies, is aplic" president of this commission. en M. Mercier, Minister Plenipotentiary of Belgieref L ty, mission to this Court to negotiate a commercial has arrived at the Hague with his secretary. DUTCH I CINDS.—AMSTERDAM, JULY 27- 1391' Money.
