Lord BEAU3IONT as ked a question w i t h res p ect to the named Graham by te Sar &tendon of a overnm g en , el ; ti ro antwithstacding his passports were clinisn G rtigular , iltrl of ABERDEEN rxpldined that the detention tihamike, and that h had taken place in con se q uence of a st he thought th( re was no nec essity for ia demanding s any pecuniary indemnity. Lord BEAUMONT asked if any apology by the Sardinian Government? had been made the Earl of ABERSZEN believed that there had been none, and, judging from the style of Mr. GRAHAM'S communication, he thought it was unlikely the Sardinian Government would be inclined to make an apology, which, under other circumstances, they might have done. The Elm. of Daimons - is then rose t o . draw the atten tion of their Lordships to the - railwa y resolutions which he had laid on the table lart iLY Committee of the other House had nig h t. The that during this session a certain portion of rail. way Bills should be initiated in their Lordships House. It was proposed, in accordance with this re comn2endation, that all Irish railway Bills for the pre- THE sent session should be originated in their Lord ships' House. The Noble Earl then went into a ; history of the standing orders of both Houses i to the per centage required to be paid up on the de posits, before the Bill could be entertained. The House of Lords required a payment of ten per cent.—the House of Commons a payment of five per cent. Now, in order to facilitate the transaction of business, the Committee recommended that for a payment of five per t cent. the Bill mig ht be admitted, provided the deposi had been made on the 6th of February, but that they should not be admitted to a third reading until an additional five per cent. should be paid; this would place them nearly in the same position which they would have occupied if they had bean originally intro duced into the House of Commons. This propo sition gave no encouragement to railway projects, nor did it remove any obstacles which had been interposed by the measures of last session With regard to measures which had passed last session in the Commons, and which had been dropped in the tiouse of Lords, it was proposed that they should pass the Commons pro forma, and come before the Lords immediately, and that competing projects should be per mitted to originate in the Lords. The Noble Lord concluded by moving a resolution founded on the report of the Committee. Lord MONTEIGLI considered that the proposed altera tion would have the effect of greatly benefiting the Irish labourer, by bringing the railway works in that co untr y into earlier operation. He would sugges t the propriety of permitting the promoters of rail way Bills to prove their compliance with the standing orders simultaneously before both Houses —a better course still would be, by bringing them before some tribunal before the meeting of Parliament, the report of such tribunal to be laid before both Houses on the meeting of Parliament. He also t h oug ht that the promot ers of railway projects should be permitted to make the deposits in public securities as well as in money. The Earl of STRADBRONE urged the necessity of giving precedence to Bills connected with the south of Ireland, as the distress there was most imminent. The resolutions were then put and agreed to. Lord DENMAN brought in a Bill to give the courts of law power to mitigate penalties in criminal cases. Lord BEAUMONT gave notice, thatsome day next week he would move for a Select Committee to consider the peculiar burdens affecting landed property. Lord CAMPBELL suggested that, as some railway Bills were to originate in the House of Lords, it might be ex pedient that the Government should originate some of their own measures also in the House of Loris. The Duke of WELLINGTON would take care that the suggestion should be cai ried to the proper quarter. After a few words from the LORD CHANCELLOR, complimentary to Lord CAMPBELL on his recent pub lication, which proved that he knew how to employ his leisure with advantage to the public and an acknow ledgement of the compliment from Lord CAMPBELL, Their Lordships adjourned. The House met at Four o'clock. This was the last day for receiving petitions on private Bills, and in conse quence a vast number of petitions were presented for and against railway Bills. Sir JOHN YARDS ByLtzlit brought up the report Of the Belfast and, County Down Railway and Newry and Warrenpoint Railway Bills, reporting that the standing orders had been complied with, and leave was given to have had 5001. each as "hush money."

A new writ for the eastern division of the county of Suffolk was ordered in the room of Lord HENNIKEE, who had accepted the Chiltern Hundreds. Lord Cateasvnax SOMERSET then proceeded to call the attention of the House to the first Report of the Select Committee on railway Bills. The Noble Lord believed that by originating Irish Bills in the House of Lords the best results would be effected. Mr. F. FRENCH did not believe there would be any advantage to Irish Bills by having them originated in the Lords; on the contrary, he thought it would con duce to the passing of Irish measures to originate the English ones in the ether House. Mr. BEaNAL believed that the proposition of originat ing sumo railway Bills in the House of Lords was good, but he thought in preferring Irish and Scotch Bills great injustice might be done to the English measures. He did not think that any party would consider the report of . the Committee a great boon. It was a fallacy to suppose that such a proposition would supply the wants of the poor of Ireland. The first consideration for the Committee was to see if they could not adopt a less dilatory proceeding in Committees with respect to rail way Bills than at present existed. The O'Corion. DON believed that the suggestion of the Committee to give precedence to Irish Bills would be productive of the best effects, as its adoption would give employment to the Irish labourers at their own doors, which they so much wanted. Mr. AGLIONBY thought the best course to be adopted would be to allow those Irish measures to commence in. the House of Lords that would be benefited by so doing, but not to compel all Irish railway Bills to commence there, if with greater success they could be proceeded with in the House of Commons. Sir G. CLERK said the adoption of the suggestion of the Hon. Member for Cockermouth would be attended with the greatest injustice to competing lines. After some observations from Mr. Ross, Mr. GREENE, Mr. W. CoLLETT trusted that in bona fide measures some course would be adopted to facilitate their pro seeding through the House. Mr. BECKETT DENISON thought that if some of the suggestions of the report were to be adopted, the greatest injustice would be inflicted upon those measures that had undergone the ordeal of the House of Commons, and had been stopped in the House of Lords by the termination of the session. These observations were particularly applicable to the London and York Railway. Mr. WARD could not see the justice . of the remark of the Hon. Member for Leeds. He thought the House of Lords ought to have the measure competing with the London and York before it ere it decided in faiour of any one of them. Lord G. SOMERSET was convinced the public would be benefited by the adoption of the report of the Com mittee. Sir H. W. BARRON denied that employment would be given immediately to the people of Ireland by passing Irish railroads, because nothing could be effectually done before August next. After some further discussion, the report was agreed to. Mr. 13C8FIELD brought in the Leeds and Bradford Railway Bills, which were read a first time. Mr. PHILP Muss gave notice th it he should, on Monday, on the order of the day being read for the House going into Committee on the resolutions proposed by Sir ROBERT PEEL, on the subject of oar commercial policy, move as an amendment that the House do resolve itself into such Committee that day six munths. Mr LABOUCHERE reminded the First Lord of the Treasury of his promise to answer the question whether the Governments of Spain and Brazil had taken any steps of a retaliatory nature in consequence of the differential duties imposed on the sugars. Sir R. PEEL said that in January, 1840, the Brazilian Government had imposed certain differential duties on the products of those nations which did sot admit their sugars at the same duty as those of the most favoured nations, but as yet they had not acted on those powers. The House adjourned at Seven o'clock. MEETING OF THE LIBERALS (THIS DAY.) A very numerously attended meeting of Liberal Members was held this forenoon at Lord Jowl Rus- SELL'S house, in Chesham-place, to consider the course to be taken in the approaching discussions on Sir Ro- BERT PEEL'S proposals. We understand that Lord JOHN RUSSELL addressed the meeting, pointing out the danger to the measure that might arise from an amendment in Committee for immediate repeal of the corn-laws, whisk migkt be supported by the protectionists, for the purpose of throwing a difficulty in Sir ROBERT PEEL'S way, and, being car ried by a majority combined of free-traders and protec tionists, might cause Sir R. PEEL to throw up the measure. We are told that the most perfect unanimity prevailed as to the necessity of the Liberal party doing everything in their power to pass that part of Sir R.PEEL's PEEL'S measure which concerns corn as quickly as pos sible, and in thinking that, though immediate free trade in corn would be preferable to its fulfilment in February, 1849, still it would not be right, under present circum stances, to risk the slightest delay in passing Sir ROBERT PEEL'S measure by an amendment for immediate repeal. The Members began to assemble at twelve, meet i ng meet i ng broke up shortly rd beforepalm Palmerston, Sir George Labouc , Molesworth, Mr. Bernal, r a . m Macaulay, Mr. F. T.

This unanimity at such a crisis is of the greatest lm- portance, and will afford satisfaction to all the friends of free trade. But it was only what might have been ex pected; any other line of policy would be inexpedient and dangerous. The whole force of the Liberal party must support Sir ROBERT PEEL in his present difficulties, they must keep the main point in view, and not play into the hands of their enemies by differing about trifles. The Minister has conceded more than ever was expected ; he deserves, therefore, the unanimous support of the whole Liberal party throughout the country, and the vote of every Member .who advocates the removal of one of the most grievous burdens that ever afflicted a community. Every Member who would reject repeal, because it is delayed for three years, ought to be regarded as an enemy to the cause. When men engaged in a good cause lay down propo sitions which they consider grounds for their motives of action, they generally adduce proofs to confirm their assertions. They do not call upon the public to take all their principles as axioms, but defend their case by legitimate reasoning, and leave their antagonists the opportunity of refuting them. The very opposite course is pursued by the party who advocate restrictive and prohibitive laws in reference to the importation of foreign grain. For instance, they affirm as facts beyond doubt, that the repeal of the corn-laws will lower the rank of our peasantry, and throw thousands upon thousands of acres out of cultivation. But here they stop. No problem or proposition follows--conclusion there is none—the words "which was to be demonstrated" are not to be found in their vocabular y , and for the best 1 reason in the world, that evidence would destroy their theory. The question then naturally arises—what has protection done for the English or Irish peasantry? Are they superior in comforts to those of France, or Holland, or Germany, or to the peasantry of any civilised country in Europe ? Men, with large families, are doomed to live on Bs. a week, they are denied the use of butcher's meat, they can enjoy only bread and water, their children have barely rags to cover their nakedness, and the mothers are often half famished, by depriving themselves of food to hush the cries and allay the hunger of their starving children. The country is studded over with workhouses, and some six or seven millions sterling a year are expended in sheltering and feeding those who cannot provide for themselves. In Ireland the case is infinitely worse. Every humane mind shudders at the recital of Irish misery, and all foreigners unite in describing the people of that beautiful island as the most wretched on the face of the earth. But if protection were worth any thing—above all, if it really was productive of those blessings which such men as the Duke of RICHMOND and Sir JOAN TYRRELL claim for it—lreland should be the best cultivated country in the world, and the "Green Isle " a visible and real Utopia—a Paradise in this sublunary region, and a model for all lands. It enjoys the benefit of the corn-laws to their full extent ; wheat cannot be imported at present at a duty less than 15s. the quarter ; oats and barley in proportion ; it rejoices in the sliding-scale like England, and is, there fore, saved from the effects of ruinous competition with foreigners. But, besides this great boon, it has ex emptions of an extraordinary kind. Neither landlords nor tenants are subject to the property and income-tax ; they know nothing of assessed taxes, and till within the last few years the people never saw a workhouse or paid a penny of poor-rate. The Government pays one-half of the police expenses—a large army is maintained in the country, supplied with provisions and other neces saries from the productions of the land or the manufac tures of the country—church-rates, and other rates are of the most moderate description ; yet with all these protective laws and exemptions from bur dens, Ireland is not half cultivated ; some four millions of the inhabitants are on the brink of starvation ; men that cannot obtain employment or gain a liveli hood by honest means traverse the country in bands, murdering and plundering the industrious, and nothing, in short, but a large military and constabulary force prevents a universal outbreak, and a total dissolution of the social system. Such are the blessings of protection. The country where it prevails to the utmost extent has become the reproach of England and a byword among nations. But for the extensive manufactures carried on in Great Britain, and viewed with such jealousy by the blind protectionists, affairs would be still worse ; for the operatives engaged in these great national undertakings, not only increase the demand for agricultural pro ductions to an incalculable extent, and throw new land into cultivation, but they also draw large supplies from the sister island ; yet, even here the land is badly cultivated, for no other reason that can be assigned by impartial ob servers but this miserable delusion called protection. The farmers have long reckoned that the corn-laws would give them something like a fixed price of from 565. to 66e. the quarter for wheat ; they have cultivated the soil upon this security, aid though the delusion has been fading away year after year, they still live in hope, and will not exert themselves, like the other industrious classes, of the community. The Duke of SUTHERLAND, who knows the difference between the agricultural systems pursued in England and Scotland, admits that in Eng land great improvements are required, and affirms that the Scotch landowners, from the spirit of activity and enterprise which they have long displayed, will not endanger themselves by conceding at once the repeal of the corn-laws. Scotland is comparatively a poor and a barren country. And what• then, has enabled the farmers there to compete with those of England and Ireland ?—Not protection, but ne cessity. And till the English are compelled "to be up and doing," like their brethren in the north—till they trust to their own industry and inventions, instead of leaning on a broken reed—all the protection that can be devised will neither improve the condition of the peasantry nor throw one acre of land into new culti vation. It has long been a doubtful point among thinking men, whether the plea of insanity in Criminal cases ought to be left to the decision of an ordinary petit jury, and the result of the trial of Captain JOHNSTONE yesterday will go far to settle the question in the negative. We will not go into the details of the crimes of this man. Our readers have, no doubt, been horrified by the perusal of the evidence given at the Thames Police. court, and at the Central Criminal Court against him — evidence which proves beyond the shadow of a doubt that he was guilty of three delibe rate murders under circumstances of the most atrocious cruelty—that in every instance he tortured his victim before murdering him—and that there were many others of his crew whose lives he attempted, all of whom he wounded, and many of whom he has maimed for life. The counsel for the defence admits that JOHNSTONE was guilty of these crimes, and then proceeds to suggest to the jury that he must have been labouring under temporary insanity at the time he did so commit them. This is a suggestion merely, for not a single witness was called to prove what had been the state of mind of the prisoner at any former periol of his life; and Mr. JERVIS himself (JOHNSTONE'S counsel) distinctly admits that at the pre sent moment his client is perfectly sane, so that the argument really amounts to this, that the atrocity of a crime shall be its excuse : commit murder simply and you will be hanged ; commit murder, accompanied by every possible species of atrocity—torture your victim before you dispatch him—hack, hew, and stab his murdered corpse, and yourcounsel will suggest that it is impossible any but a mad man could be guilty of such atrocities, and an Old liailey jury, acting on the suggestion, will acquit you on the ground of insanity. On this principle GEEENAERE should have been acquitted, because he mutilated the body of his victim after having murdered her. The Learned Gentleman, in his defence of JOHNSTONE, in sinuated that the crew were aware that they had been guilty of the mutiny, or that otherwise they would have attempted to have put JOHNSTONE under restraint. Suppose they had restrained him, would not that in itself have been an act of mutiny? Would not every man who bad made the attempt have done so with a rope round his neck? Would not the fact of their having attempted to restrain him have justified, in the eye of the law, all JOHNSTONE'S previous proceedings, and would not every individual of that orew have been tried and convicted of—aye, and perchance executed for— mutiny, on The evidence of Jon/01.01E himself, so soon as the ship should have arrived in any port? Be it re membered, too, that these men in such a case could not possibly have produced evidence to show the neces sity of placing this man under restraint. As soon and al as he arrives in England he beeoraes sane, ac i no t w h irotduh al though h u g t at o anym e M r . e r ' evidence suggestion jE I9 t ' o s of s own p s a o n r s t i h t t w , f n om a i gs considered counsel, uside r o d by a jury su ffi cient to justify them in acquitting a cap tain charged with the murder of three of his crew, we do ubt whether the same jury would so readily admit a similar suggestion as a justification for an acquittal of a crew charged with mutiny against a captain. That the crew took no measures to restrain the captain, that they submitted patiently to his tyranny, and that, n otwithstanding all the tortures so wantonly in flicted on them, they brought the ship with her valuable lading to her port in safety, are facts which to our minds prove to demon stration that there never had existed on the part of the crew the least intention to mutiny, and we think that the evidence goes to show that the whole story of the mutiny wa s a story trumped up by the captain as TURDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 7, 1846 a justification of his excesses. The forcing the men to sign the false entry in the log is put down by Mr. JERVIS to the account of that cunning which always accom panies madness. But what does he say to the fact of the captain having navigated his vesel in safety to Fayal, and from Fayal to England ? Could a madman —that is to say, a man incapable of distinguishing right from wrong (for such only are entitled by law to be acquitted on the ground of insanity)—could a madman have done this ? At all events, there must have been a marvellous method in his madness. Never has there been a verdict given more contrary to evidence, and we trust that this case, fortu nately unconnected with politics, and, therefore, a case to which all our legislators and juris-consults can apply their minds without prejudice, will have the effect of drawing the attention of the Legislature to the subject, so that some remedy may be provided for this crying evil. The task of providing this remedy, as it strikes us, is by no means a difficult one. We would suggest that, in all criminal cases in which it is intended to set up the plea of insanity, the question of insanity should be tried and decided on substantively before the trial of the in dictment ; or, perhaps it might be better still, to have it argued on demurrer, taking care, however, that such demurrer should not be considered as admitting the truth of the crime charged, so as to deprive the prisoner of the right to hare the case investigated, thus leaving it to the Judges to decide the validity of the plea. At all events we would suggest the propriety of enacting, that in no case shall the plea of insanity be considered as proved unless it shall be shown either that the prisoner had been, before the commission of the crime, under restraint as an in sane person, or that measures had been taken before the commission of the crime to place him under such re straint ; or that, on being brought up to plead, it shall be evident to the Court, after hearing medical evidence, that the prisoner is at that moment in such a state of mind as to be unfit to undergo a trial. Happily for some thousands of our fellow-countrymen, I both Houses of Parliamen t, y esterda y , ac q uiesced in the suggestions contained in the first report of the Select Committee on Railways, to which suggestions, in our last, we made particular allusion. With the intention of so far facilitating matters as to open fresh channels for the speedy employment of the destitute labourers on the other side of St. George's Channel, the Peers have de ferred their opinion in some measure to the system of action adopted in railway proceedings by the Commons, without however in the smallest degree compromising their own pre-expressed judgment. By the arrangement just concluded the different amount of per tentage re- quired by the two Houses to be paid upcn deposits before a Bill could be entertained —namely, ten per cent. by the Lords, and five per cent. by the Commons—have been very judiciously modified by the former in order to accord with the regulations of the latter, and meet, at the,same time, the ex , traordinary exigencies of the moment. In this manner it is resolved that before the first reading one-twentieth only will be requisite, and before the third reading another twentieth, a resolution which amounts, in the end, to the original plan of operation. In expressing our must earnest satisfaction at the promptitude which is thus evidenced by the Legislature, and its manifest anxiety to ameliorate the fearful and desperate condition of the industrious classes in Ireland, we are more especially desirous of repudiating the insinuation, and of particularising the fallacies, uttered by Mr. BERNAL. What peculiar " unfitness "or " in justice" there can be in giving priority to Irish railways we cannot, by the utmost ingenuity of reasoning, dis cover. A remarkable debility exhibits itself in one portion of our political constitution ; that portion is Ireland. Restoratives, or rather tonics and stimulants of a powerful description, are necessary to amend that unnatural debility, and to i , fuse new vigour into the emaciated part—to replace lassitude by nervous energy. For this purpose, no sane Government would surely direct the operation of those tonics or of those stimulants equally to the comparatively strong as to the positively weak portions; but would rather, by every means within their capacity, endeavour to animate with its pristine power the part so deteriorated and decayed. It would be a sin gular mode of rescuing the inhabitants of Drog heda from their foodless and helpless con dition to offer a plentiful supply of provisions in the furthest limits of Yorkshire or of Westmoreland, and, nevertheless, this would be tantamount to the pro position in question, namely, that by a priority of Eng lish and Scotch railways, the Irish labourers would re ceive the readiest amount of assistance. Perhaps, in refutation of this singular argument, it will be sufficient to make two simple observations ; first, that a person incapable of procuring sustenance in ' his own immediate neighbourhood is not very competent to undertake the risks and expenses of a long journey; and, secondly, that the originators of any railway would prefer the comparatively insignificant of hiring workmen in their vicinity to the some whatcostly mode of obtaining " hands" from a very outlayeo ns iderable distance. Schemes for the instanta neous relief of our Irsh brethren must be neither dubious nor inferential; the unhappy populace of that island must have no sinuosities to track out no labyrinths to penetrate, before arriving at the boon which is to give them a chance of labour, of food, and of life. Their spades and mattocks must be called into use upon the very earth adjoining their ho vels; the bushels of Indian corn or measures of maize, with which their bodily labour is to be recom_ peesed, must be heaped out upon their thresh holds. The compact in this case must be simple : home-work for home- bread ; toil upon their native sod for a crust. Mr. BERNAL stated that " what the people of Ireland wanted at this moment was food, and not railways to Galway or the south." As an aphorism this is correct enough ; the ultimatum of the Irish wish is indubitably " food and not railways," but then the food they desire is not the food of bene volence or charity ; their demands are just and honest so _much wages for so much manual labour —no more. Largesse, or the metiugs-out of generosity, are not what they require—they ask not for a gratuity, but for employment. And, as among the most reasonable means of affording them that em ployment, we regard the present facilitation of local railway Bills with peculiar pleasure, since, from this very depression and impotence of the multitude, may arise their more rapid and permanent improve ment, and that out of the grave of penury may be exhumed the benignant spirit of regeneration. On Wednesday next Mr. O'Cosateer. will bring before Parliament the terrible minutiae of famine and disease which now threaten to decimate the ranks of his fellow-countrymen. And with these melancholy details ne would fain anticipate some still further incitement will be administered to the Executive department, so that the measures taken by Government with reference to Ireland may be neither relaxed nor delayed. Madrid journals of the 30th ult. have been received. Most of them advert to the Speech of the Queen of ENGLAND, praise the liberal measures to which it refers, and consider they will be of great importance to Spain. The father of General NARVANZ, the Conde DE CANADA ALTA, died on the 28th. The Funds were more firm. The Three per Cents. closed at 321 for cash, and 32i at sixty days, and tLe Fives at 23i for the same time. The Paris papers are almost entirely occupied with the discussions in the Chamber of Deputies, and com ments on the amendments. They are in general, how ever, destitute of interest. The l a st subject was the ex pedition to Madagascar, and in answer to questions from several Members, Admiral MACKAU said, in the arrangements made with England, the rights of France had been reserved, but that there was no idea at present of forming an establishment on the island. The objects of the expedition were to chastise the natives for in juries committed on French settlers, to explore the coast, and extend the influence of France in that quarter. It was possible that England might take part in the expedition, but at the same time it was fitted out so as to act alone. Som e Members objected to such au expedition, which would cost some 8,000,000 f., and was intended for no practical purposes. Ultimately an amendment suggested by M. D'Arroz viLLE, a supporter of the Government, and to theefusfollow to g effect, was adopted :—" France dow n to re m snake the sacrifices imposed upon her by such great in terests, but she reposes with confidence on the prudence of the Government that it will not multiply, without a well ascertained necessity, those serious and distant ex peditions." M. ST. PRIEST gave notice of an amend ment recommending the reduction of interest on Five per Cent. Stock. The following remarks on the thepo - tion and prospects of the French in Africa appear in Journaldes Debate; they fully admit the difficulties caused by the indefatigable perseverance and skill of ABD-EL KADER:_ "The situation of Algeria, without ceasing to be grave, and to call for serious attention, has at last ceased to inspire uneasiness. Considerable reinforcements were sent from France with remarkable celerity i mme diately after the disas !ere of Sidi-Brahmin and Ain-T emo uchen. The army found itself in a condition to contend against an almost general in surrection, and to keep it under, if it was not able to sup press it entirely. The native tribes, who had been excited to deliriu m by the intoxication produced by the two above named disasters, no longer think that the last hour of French domination has come, and they are beginning to return to submission, on seeing that all the calamities of war are again about to fall on them. But Abd-el-Kader is there to inter- pose with energy obstacles to the difficult task of our nume rous columns, defeating the best combinations, reviving the fanaticism of the Arabs, appointing Khalifas to organise war against us, terrifying by executions and merciless razgias the tribes who have not yet taken part in the revolt, and who have been left exposed to his sudden attacks. Twice already has the Emir penetrated into the interior part of the culti vated portion of the country, and been able to pass through it without obstacle, although flying before our troops; he was come up with only once, and that by an exhausted cavalry, which was unable to execute anything decisive. Now, for the third time, he leaves the desert after a feigned retreat, and menaces the province of Titteri, which borders on that of Algiers. The last accounts announce, in fact, that Marshal Bugeaud was about to proceed to Boghar with a portion of the disposable troops, to check the bold attempts of the Emir on that side. The recent disaster of the column of Constantine in the mountains of Bou-Taleb, has not been without influence over this new enterprise of the Emir, for after this cruel event Medeah might have been uncovered. In fact, Lieutenant General Beduin, commandant of the province of Constantine, who gave his useful co-operation to the Marshal with the column of Setif, commanded by Ge neral D'Arbouville, was to return with this column to the province, to till up the blank occasioned bv the miss hors de combat of a column which has lost 1,200 muskets, and has half its men in the hospitals. Abd-el-Kaderjudged that the moment was favourable to menace us towards the centre of our possessions, and, as a first success, he has ruined the Rhanians, a tribe on the skirt of the desert, which had sub mitted to us, and which even habitually sent its goums to assist us in our expedition in the south. The three attempts of the Emir against the interior were evidently with a view of penetrating in the province of Algiers, and there accom plish a sudden and rapid invasion, not, without doubt, with the hope of maintaining himself there, but to produce the great moral effect which such an event would not fail to pro duce in France and in the whole of Algeria. He has not been able to succeed on the Orleansville side, as the rising of the Chelif might present an obstacle or compromise his re treat: he has, besides, been followed with much activity by our columns, for latterly General Lamoriciere, with the dif ferent columns of the province of Oran, conjointly with the troops of Marshal Bugeaud, gave pursuit to him on the Mina. General 'Wean having set out for Setif, the field. towards Medeah was open to the Emir, and the more so as the ob stacle of the Chelif does not exist on that side. It may easily be conceived, therefore, that the danger must have been pressing to have called the Marshal in person to the spot. We rely firmly on the indefatigable activity of Marshal Bu geaud, and his great knowledge of the nature of the war and the tactics of the Emir will furnish him with expedients to prevent the enemy from putting his foot on the ridges of the little Atlas which borders the horizon of Algiers." Muller, the assassin of M. Leu, was beheaded at Lucerne on the 31st ult. On the same day expired the term of delay for the payment of the indemnity of 400,000 Swiss livres„ as the condition of the amnesty in favour of the political pri soners. The Committee appointed to collect this sum has in formed the Government, that it has been able to raise only 220,000 livres, and has entreated it to accept of that amount. The question will probably be brought before the Grand Council.

QUEEN'S BENCH.—(THIS DIN.) - 'this Court was occupied for a considerable portion of tiro day in investigating a case which arose out of a book account transaction, between a vender of giiiger-beer and one of his customers ; the amount sought to be recovered was about 71. ; and th e action might hare been disposed of in half an hour. EXCITEQUER.-(THIS DAY.) Sittings at Nisi Prins, after Hilary Term, before the LORD CRIEF BARON and a Special Jury.) THE ATTORNET-OEYERAL V. ♦LLAN. This was information, filed by the Attorney-General, for the recovery of penalties alleged to have been incurred by de fendant, fir a violation Of the Excise laws in the article of soap. The Attorney-General, the Solicitor-General, Mr. Jervis, and Mr. Wilde, appeared on behalf of the Crown, but as a number of the jury were not in attendance, the Solictor- General refused to pray a tales, and the Court was conse quently adjourned till Tuesday next. The other Learned Judges, who were sitting in banco in the Bail Court, then removed to the Court of Exchequer and took the new trial paper, which engaged their attention for the remainder of the day. BANKRUPTCY.—(THIS DAY.) (Before Commissioner GOILBURN.) IN RE STAFFORD. The bankrupt in this case had been a sharebroker in the City of London, and the choice of assignees had been ad journed, in order that the claim of the petitioning creditors, who had several railway shares and contracts for shares as security for a large debt of 4001., could be investigated. Mr. WooTroN, solicitor, of Tokenhouse-yard, now applied on behalf of Messrs. Field, Son, and Bayley, sharebrokers, the petitioning creditors, and said that notwithstanding Mr. Field had been examined touching the debt and securities, Mr. Tyrrell, who was on the opposite side, would not consent to the sale of the shares held by Messrs. Field and Co., the object of his application was to obtain an order of the Com missioner for the sale, so that the precise amount of the debt might be ascertained, and the creditors enabled to vote in the choice of assignees. The Learned COMMISSIONER expressed his doubt as to his power to make any order, as he could not consider the de posit of shares or contracts for shares in the light of legal mortgage. The only way he thought safe was to apply by petition to the Court of Review, but he was afraid the time and expense would exceed the advantages. Mr. Woorrox said that Messrs. Field's debt was very large, and they would wish to sell the shares. They had advanced money on paying contracts and shares, and he therefore considered they held them as a lien. The COMMISSIONER said it appeared they claimed to hold them as security for a general balance on a running account, according to a custom of the city of London, by which a cre ditor might attach any property within the city of London. The question, therefore, was whether these shares could be considered as property ever which such a power extended. Mr. Woorrox said, that if the Commissioner entertained any doubt that proof for the balance after the sale of the shares could be successfully made, if sold under the autho rity of the Commissioner, they would at once go to the Court of Review. The CiewoussecalEß—The question is, are you safe in sell ing ? I will refer to cases. The Learned Commissioner then referred to several books, and said he could not find e. point analogous quoted that was supported by reference. If the assignees and mortgagees could not agree on a sale of pro perty, then the Court might order it; or the creditor could prove for the full amount of his debt by resigning his securi ties, which would go for the general benefit of the estate; or the official assignee might purchase the property. Mr. Woorrox said that the official assignee declined doing so. The Leaned Commtsstom said, that after reading the cases he was of opinion that Messrs. Field had a lien on the shares, and that a deposit of shares was such - property as to come within the exceptions of the Act 108th George IV., giving right of proof. Under those circumstances he should make the order. The order was, therefore, drawn up. CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Baron ROLFE and Mr. Justice CRESSWELL.) THE POWERS OF MONKL—James Thomas, aged 50, who was described in the Calendar as a labourer, but who is really the rector of a parish not many . miles north-west from London, and George Green, a private in the Grenadier Guards, were placed at the bar, charged with the commis sion of a nameless offence. Mr. BALLANTINE, who appeared for the prosecution, in formed the Court that he had every reason to believe that the witnesses in the case had been, through the agency of one of the persons accused, conveyed out of the country, and consequently could not be forthcoming in the present session. If the case were further remanded lie had no doubt that he could produce evidence to prove this fact; and perhaps he might suggest that the depositions be read over in the mean time to justify this procedure. Mr. Baron ROLFE asked if the prisoners were defended? Mr. PRENDERGAST said that he attended for the defence. The prisoners were anxious to be tried, and if no witnesses were forthcoming, to be, of course, discharged. Mr. Justice COLTMAN asked if no efforts had been madg to discover the witnesses. Mr. BALLANTINE said that it was well known that the witnesses had been conveyed beyond the jurisdiction of the Court, and there was not the slightest hope that they could be brought, or would themselves come forward at present. The witnesses were then called by name, and failing to ap pear, their recognizances were declared forfeited. Mr. Baron Rorxx then directed the jury to acquit the pri soners. There was no proof before them (however little moral doubt might be entertained) that the witnesses had been kept out of the way 'by the prisoners' agency. There remained, under these circumstances, but one course open for them, namely, to pronounce a verdict of acquittal. • The jury then returned a verdict of Not Guilty, and the prisoners were removed from the bar. ' - It has been pretty clearly ascertained that the witnesses, who are under the care of the reverend gentleman's butler, .__ PART, (From the )1:4%
