P.I. Van de Weyer, Minister Plenipotentiary at the Court of London, having tendered his resignation of the office of Minister of the Interior, his resignation is accepted. 2. M. 'newt de Meylandt, member of the Chamber of Representatives, is appointed Minister of Interior. 3. Seeing that the resignation tendered on the 2d of March, 1846, by Messrs Baron J. d'Anthan, A. Dechamps, J. Malon, and C. D. Hoffachimdt of their respective office of Minister of Justice, Finance, Foreign Affairs, and Public Works, and by our Ministers of the State, Count de Mue lenaere, and Baron d' Huart, of the functions, members of our Council of Ministers. Art. 2. The resignation tendered by Messrs. Baron, J. d'Anthan. A. Dechamps, J. Malon, Count de Muelenaere, and Baron d'Huart are not accepted. Art. 4. Lieut. General Baron Plisse is appointed our Minister of War. 5. M. G. F. de Baray, Secretary- General of the Depart ment of Public Works, is appointed our Minister of that De partment. - Thus, says the Courrier de Beige; a Catholic Ministry puts an end to the crisis which has continued for these two months According to oar conviction, it is neither a happy result nor a final result. The average price of wheat in the week ending on March 2S was 2:3f. 74c., and that of rye 17f. 58c. . - - - -- ANTWERP, APRIL I.—W e have now a pure Catholic Ministry, which, as the Independance observes this morning, has the merit of putting an end to the system of mixed Aliniaters, the name of M. de Theux, and this is its second merit. The country now knows with whom it has to do. This is a great advantage which it has gained. We prefer M. de Theux a thousand times to Baron d'Huart, and even to Count de Mueleneere. The situation is rendered more clear by a Catholic Ministry, as it would have been by the Liberal Ministry of M. Rogier, but this latter Ministry is, in our opinion; only deferred during the existence of the new Cabinet, which will, doubtless, be very short. The party holding Liberal opinions will become more compact, stronger, and will tend to its organisation. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. (From The San of Last Night. The Cotton market at Liverpool yesterday was rather quieter, but prices were steady. Saks about 5,060 bags, 500 of which were American and taken by exporters. Shares were dull and prices lower. Thanks to the perseverance of the Committee of Spanish American bondholders, the foreign creditors of Mexico have had full justice done to them at the hands of the Messrs. Lizardi and Co., the former financial agents of the Govern ment of the Republic. There have be n remitted, as all our readers, especially those more immediately interested know, sums equal to about 65,0001. for the dividends on Mexican Stock, but which for a long time past have been hermetically sealed up by the Lizardi's and Co. A Chancery process has compelled those parties to come to terms, and bills at various dates extending over a period of 18 months have been ac cepted by the firm just mentioned in favour of Messrs. Schnieder and Co., who are now the financial agents of the Mexican Government. We cannot help observing that the Committee of Spanish American Bondholders, of which Mr. S. R. Robinson is the most active chairman (and if our re collection serves us, for a period of not far short of twenty years), have a claim upon the bondholders of all the South American States for something more than empty praise, for their zealous advocacy of the rights of the foreign creditors of the States of South America, qll of whom have had to be driven into a course of honest policy. At the next general meeting of South American Bondholders, we trust to see some right. minded creditor of the Republica propose that the exertions of the Committee, crowned with success as they have been in the cases (4' Mexico and of Chili espe cially, should be not only virtually acknowledged, but that something more sub-tantial should be awarded. The English Stocks are at present very quiet, and there is scarcely any fluctuation in prices. Consols have been 96 1 % to 96% for money and time. The premium on Exchequer bills has been up to 29s and is now 265. The Foreign Investments have been dull, and there is no speculation except in Mexican Stock, which has been rather lower, viz., 32 to 31 3 4 for the Actives. Portuguese Con verted Three per Cents. have been 5814; and the Four per Cents., 57. Dutch Two-and a-H a lf p er C en t s . h ave b een arked 59 1 4 ; and the Four per Cents., 92 to 92% ex-div. Austrian Bonds are 113. For Railway Shares the demand is slack, but there is every hope now of an extensive winding up of the different schemes, and the prosecution alone of those most imperatively needed, for this would give stability to prices generally.

A Special General Court of the Proprietors in the East India Company, was held yesterday at the India House, for the purpose of passing a vote of thanks to the officers and men lately engaged in the battle on the banks of the Sutlej ; Sir Henry Wino& in the chair. The CHAIRMAN said it was pleasing to him, on the pre sent occasion, to congratulate the proprietors on the re cent successes of the army in India, and to hope that they would give a cordial assent to the vote of thanks he was about to propose to that army. Every successive mail that arrived, brought to them further proofs of the indomitable bravery of the army. He must, carried pleasing however, in justice to S e ikh s as a n ation, say that their mili tary operation s had b een carr i e d on w ith considerable skill. It was ea Henry Smith, and th e a d m i ra bl e m anner iii w hich it was out. It It to proved observeder the elbli; digested plan of Sir e ff e ctive, and the enemy's forces w ere b ro k en ap , an d while some of the remaining Seikhs were swept away by the current of the Sutlej, others wer e d r i ven i nto t h e i n t er i o r, and never heard of afterwards. Thi s success, ac hi eve d under the aid.of considerably Divine Providence, was great, it led to their warmest appro bation ; and he w as sure the Court would be most ready to accord it. As he said before, every mail brought them new proofs of the efficiency of the Indian army, and the accounts of gallantry were almost overpowering, coming upon them, as they did, in rapid sacceesion, each exceeding the other in brilliancy, that they assumed rather the air of fiction than matter of historical fact.—(Hear, and cheers.) Four glorious victories had been accomplished within a very short space, and now they had the native Seikh Prince coming to the Governor-General to implore protection for himself, and pardon fur the acts of a rebellious army which he could not control.—(Hear , hear.) Now, if these achievements had added lustre to the British army, how much was that glory en hanced by the forbearance of the Governor-General.—(Cloers.) He would not detain them by guing into the details of each battle, — bectuse they must long ag> have become familiar to every one, and he would conclude with calling upon the Court to give their unanimous assent to the vote he had already proposed. Mr. HOGG seconded the motion in an impressive and elo quent address, pointing out to the Court the fact that the attack of the Seikhs was not provoked, but was suggested by a desire for pillage, and if possible to destroy the British Indian empire. The attempt had, happily, however, signally failed, and that failure was owing to the indomitable courage of the British Indian army and the consummate skill of the Governor-General, Sir Elifgh Gough, Sir Harry Smith, and the other officers who were engaged in the conflict. The Hon. Gentleman then went into the details of each battle, commenting upon and warmly eulogising the skill, conduct. and forbearance evinced by the several officers who led on the British army on these memorable occasions, and paying a no lees sincere tribute to the dauntless and untlinche ing courage of the men, and concluded by calling upon the Court not only to pass the vote unanimously, but to pass it by acclamation. Mr. TWINING was desirous of adding his concurrence to what bad fallen from the two last speakers, and expressed his high admiration both of the conduct of the men and officers in the late glorious encounters on the banks of the Sutlej. Capt. RANDALL begged to say that as an officer in her Majesty's service, in which he had been fur thirty years, nothing gave him so much pleasure as concurring with the prevalent feeling and sentiments of the Court which seemed about to give an unanimous vote on the subject before them. The Court was then addressed by Mr. Salomons, Sir J. L. Lushingfon, Mr. Sullivan, Mr. G. Thompson, and other Hon. Proprietors. It was then put to the vote, and the thanks of the Court were severally and unanimously given to Sir H. Smith for the victory at Aliwal, and to the officers, non-commissioned officers, and men ; to Sir 11. Harding, and Sir H. Gough, for supplying the necessary reinforcements to Sir H. Smith, by which he achieved the victory ; to Sir Henry Hardinge and Sir Hugh Gough, for the splendid victory at Sabraon ; and to Sir H. Smith, Major-General Gilbert, the other officers, the non-commissioned officers and men, in the British and Indian armies. The Court then adjourned, at half-past two o'clock. LAW ISTELLIGENCE. PRI VI COUNCIL, April 3. The Judicial Committee of the Privy Council sat to-day, for the purpose of hearing petitions for the confirmation and extension of patents. The Lords present were the Lord President, the Vice- Chancellor Wigram, the Judge of the Admiralty Court, and the Chancellor of the Duchy of Cornwall. IN THE MATTER OF MUNTZ'S PATENT. The petition in this case was ordered to stand for hearing on Mon day, the 11th of May. IN THE MATTER OF STEAD'S PATENT. This case came before their Lordships upon the petition of Mr. David Stead, praying for the confirmation of a patent taken out by him for improvement in wood paving, by means of sextagonal blocks. The petition was opposed by the Metropolitan Wood Paving Company. Sir Thomas Wilde and Mr. Wells appeared for tits petition, and Mr Matthew Davenport Hill and Mr. Webster opposed it. The Attorney-General appeared for the Crown, but declined to ad dress the Court. Their Lordships, at the conclusion of the arguments at half-past four o'clock, postponed their judgment. SECONDARIES COURT, April 3. (Before Mr. Secondary JAMES.) 10LAND V. SANDALL. The plaintiff in this action is a tailor in Panton•strest, Haymarket, and the defendant is a gentleman residing at Tunbridge W(1 Is. The action was brought to recever the sum of 131. 12i. for goods _ -- A The defendant did not plaintiff. This was the only cause in the list , aid the jury gave a verdict for the CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. - - The Common SERGEANT presided in this Court, in the absence of Mr. Justice 31aule, who is unwell. CHARGE OF MURDER. Martin Jennings, lab ourer, aged 2 1 , was placed at the bar, charged with the wilful murder of M ar y Murray, on the 14 th of March. There was a second count charging t h e o ffence as manslaughter. James Maloney, broth er o f decease d , exam ined —I saw the body of the deceased shortly a ft er h er death. Esther Tye—l live at No. 8, George-yard, Golden-lane. I remem ber that on the 14th of March my husband and the prisoner came home at about ten o'clock and stopped until two o'clock; the de ceased came in at that hour. She took a bottle from her pocket and asked us to drink. The prisoner was very drunk then. I did not notice that deceased was drunk. She got up to go out, and prisoner followed her and asked her for a shilling. She said she had not get it, and he then :truck her twice on the face and shoulder. They both then went out to the stairs, p r isoner still asking for the shilling. I heard a slight scuffle then. I saw her next lying ou the dust-hole, on her back, insensible. I took her to the next house, and tried to restore her. The police came soon after, and took her away on a stretcher. Cross-examined I can't say that I ever saw deceased much " tossicated in licker." I hadn't seen her for three months before. John Waldron—l live with my mother at No. 11, George yard, Golden-lane. I came home on the night of the 14th of March about eleven o'clock. I heard a scuffle at Ne. 8. I saw the prisoner and deceased wrangling in the passage, the former saying that the latter had taken a shilling from him. I saw him strike her on the face and breast. I then went away, and I heard a scream. I re turned in about ten minutes, and saw her lying in the dust - hole. Elizabeth Boland—Oa the night in question I saw prisoner and deceased come out of Mrs. Tye's together. I saw him strike her about the face several ti mes, and she fell into the dust-hole. Cress-examined—l did no t h ear d ecea sed cry out. Elizabeth Tye, a child a b out seven years old, was next called, but was not examined. Constable 62 G found the deceased insensible and bleeding. Gave her some water, and she died soon after, and never spoke. Constable 226 saw deceased vomit, and she died immediately. She smelt strongly of spirits. John Glover Mather, surgeon, examined deceased. Found two marks on the shoulder and extravasation of blood. There was a mark over the right eye-brow. Tile cavities of the brain were tilled with extravasated blood. Cannot say that the blow over the eye caused that appearance ; rather thinks it was not. The state of the brain was caused by the rupture of a blood vessel. To the COURT—The blew hastened death. Cross-examined—lt is not at all uncommon that persons in the habit of drinking die in this way. Drunken habits predispose the blood vessels to rupture. Deceased had what is called a nutmeg, or drunkard's liver. In answer to the Court, the witness said he would not like to say that the blow hastened the death of deceased. Mr. Courtenay, surgeon, of St. Luke's Workhouse, examined de ceased. Is of opinion that the blow in question. coupled with a state of drunkenness and the excitement of quarrelling, would have caused her death; but she would not have died without that blow. Mr. Mather was recalled, and he said he differed in opinion from Mr. Courtenay as to the effects of the blow. Here the case closed. Mr Paula briefly addressed the jury, but did not call any wit ness for the defence. He spoke in very strong terms of the ma gistrate who committed the prisoner on a charge of wilful murder, and this branded him for a time amongst his fellows as a murderer ; whilst they had it in evidence that deceased was an habitual drunkard, and predisposed, from those habits, to sudden death. Loansinr, having briefly summed up, The jury found a verdict of Manslaughter. Two witnesses were called, and gave witness a good character. The prisoner was sentenced to six months' imprisonment in the House of Correction.

Mr. Buttoex sentenced him to be transported for fifteen years. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. WESTERN ClRCUlT.—Taunton, April 1. The commission for holding the assizes for the county of Somerset was opened in this town yesterday afternoon, by Mr. Justice Erle. The legal business, as has been the case all round the circuit, is extremely light, there being only 19 oases in the cause list. The calendar, however, is very heavy, there being nearly 120 prisonere for trial. The fi.lloa lam is a summary of the offences :—Murder, 1 ; attempting to mur der, 3; manslaughter, 3; maliciously woundi ng , 6 ; arson , 4; burglary, 7; housebreaking, 3; rape, 4; horse-stealing, 1; sheep-stealing, 6 ; robbery, 4 ; bigamy, 1; bestiality, 1; larcenies, 60; embezzlement, 3; entering inclosed land by night, 7 • concealment of birth, 1. John Hake and Daniel hake were indicted for burglari ously breaking and entering the house of William French, at Otterford, and stealing therefrom several knives and other articles, his property. Mr. Cox was counsel for the prosecution. From the evidence it appeared that the prosecutor's house having been properly closed at night, on the following morning it was found that a panel of the door had been broken through, and that a quantity of knives, in which the prosecutor dealt, had been taken away. From some infer. illation which had been received, suspicion attached to the prisoners, who were brothers residing in the neighbourhood; they were apprehended, and the stolen property was found upon them. John Hake confessed that lie had broken into the house. The jury found both tha prisoners Guilty. Sentence—John Hake, transportation for 15 years; Daniel Hake, transportation for ten years. OXFORD ClRCUlT.—Hereford, April!. The assize business was nearly brought to a close last night, only five cases being left for adjudication this morning, and they present no topics of public interest. The following had not concluded yesterday, when it became necessary to close and forward our dispatch : CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Baron PLATT.) Benjamin Skyrnal, aged 20, was indicted for firing a loaded gun at William Hughes, on the 13th of last August, upon the .Queen's highway, with intent to do him some grievous bodily harm. Mr. Greavee and Mr. llnddleston prosecuted ; the pri soner was defended by Mr. Skinner. From the evidence of the prosecutor, who is a cattle and pig dealer, living at St. Margaret's, it appeared tharini the day in question he had been at llereford, and was on his return home in the evening, when the prisoner, whom he previously knew by sight, came up t ) him at a place called the Slough, in the parish of St. Margaret, and entered into conversation with him, walking by the side of his horse, until they came to a garden belonging to a man of the name of Colman, when Skyrnal stopped, and appeared to be taking something out of the hedge; meanwhile Mr. Hughes rode on about 100 yards in advance of the prisoner, whom he heard running after him, whereupon he reined in his horse, and at the same instant a gun was fired, and his (the prosecutor's) hat fell upon the neck of the horse. He recovered it, and immediately galloped off. Very shortly after this Mr. Hughes procured assistance, and finding the prisoner still at the spot whence the shot had been fired, he charged him with having attempted his life, and secured the man at the bar, who ob served that it was a person of the name of John Paris who had fired the gun. The prosecutor had sold about 501. worth of stock in the morning, and had that amount about him at the time of the attack. Additional evidence was adduced corroborative of the prisoner's guilt; a little girl, to whose father the gun be longed, proving that she had lent Skyrnal the gun to shoot birds with about the time in question, and the gun was found the same morning after the occurrence above detailed, ten or twelve yards from the place where Mr. Hughes was fired at. The prisoner was convicted of firing with intent to do some grievous bodily harm; and a previous conviction for felony having been proved, he was sentenced to fifteen years' trans portation. As soon as their Lordships have disposed of the few re maining cases here they will proceed in the course of the afternoon to Monmouth, and open the commission for that county, where seventy prisoners now await their trial. The following is an analysis of the Monmouthshire calen dar :—Violating the person, 7 ; housebreaking, 4 ; cutting and maiming, 2; forgery, 3; sheep-stealing, 9; killing cattle, 1; highway robbery, 6; stealing from the person, 5; minor offences, 30; manslaughter, 2; firing stacks, 1— total, 70. NORTHERN ClRCUlT.—Liverpool, April 1. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice PArrEsox.) Kitts, of the firm of Rothwell and Kitts, cotton-spin ners, of Bolton, was tried upon an indictment, charging him with the manslaughter of Peter Greenough. This indictment arose out of the explosion which occurred on the 10th of December last, at the works of Messrs. Roth well and Kitts, when several persons were killed by the bursting of a boiler. The-defendant was the resident partner and resided on the premises; and the ground of the charge was that of having su ff ered an accumulation of steam in the boiler without any means of escape, in consequence of which it exploded, carrying away a large portion of the wall of the mill, and burying the deceased in the ruins. The prisoner, who was defended by Mr. Dundas and Mr. Pollock, was Acquitted. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BO W-STREET. DOG-FIGHTING.—Bow-street, and all the other streets in its vicinity, have been in a state of popular ebullition ever since the middle of the day on Wednesday, in consequence of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals laving denounced to the police a gang of dog-fighters, and their aiders and abettors, assembling at a certain disreputable house in Neale's-ya:d, Queen-street, Seven Dials. The police, in consequence of the information thus given them by the Royal Anti-Cruelty Society, made a grand attack upon the place in question on Wednesday after there they captured upwards of ninety persons, tag-rag and bob-tail; and among them—so said rumour—were sundry " noble lords," many "real gentlemen," and a genuine marquis or two at least; all of whom they marched down to the Bow-street police-station, together with a bull-dog and a dead badger with three legs, the other leg having been "gnawed off" for the recreation of the parties frequenting the pit, or place before indicated. Great was the hubbub occasioned by this proceeding. People, men, women, and children, came running from all quarters to see the show, as the offenders were marched iu custody into the station; arid so great was the crush throughout the night, that it required all the exertions of the force to keep a practicable thorough fare for the public. Yesterday morning there was little or no abatement of the effervescence. The front of the station house, the avenues of the Court were thronged with persons evidently all agape for something out of the common way. But they were grievously disappointed. It was a parturient montes, for instead of lords, knights, and marqu i ses b e i ng paraded before the bench, the thing ended in four simple ordinary-looking persons being placed in that unenviable situation, viz., John Mansfield, owner of the pit; And r e w Nash, a deputy cabman unattached ; John Smith, a prize. fighter past work, with a marvellously disfigured visage and fiery-coloured whiskers; and Charles Hays, a fire- simile of George Cruikshank's " Jack Sheppard," with a grass-green cravat, a turf coat, and having his hair daintily smoothed with grease. Mr:Hall presided, and a person who attended as solicitor for the prosecution, at the instance of the Royal Anti. Cruelty Society, intimated to his Worship that the pro ceeding was instituted not under the Police Act, which makes all persons present at these disgusting exhibitions equally liable with the principals, but under the 6th and 7th William IV., which considers the principals only as liable. The Learned Gentleman did not point out this distinction, nor did he say why the Royal Society had chosen to act under the milder law instead of the more comprehensive one ; but it was whispered in the Court that they did not care to have anything to do with noble and gentle amateurs of cruelty, their only object being to put such things down by punishing the actual performers. Mr. Robinson was solicitor for the defence of the four fellows actually before the Court ; and Mr. Inspector Dodd, of the F, or Bow-street division, opened the case ; from which opening, and the evidence which followed it, we deduce the following facts :--In conse quence of information communicated to him at the station on Wednesday afternoon, that a ferocious dog fight was at that moment going on at a house in Neale's-yard, Seven Dials, he forthwith proceeded thither, taking with him as many of the private constables of his division as were then available. They easily discovered the place, and found it surrounded by a crowd of disorderly people, from whom they learned that the fighting was at that moment going on in the room up stairs. One of the Society's officers led the way up the ladder leading to that room ; but before he could get through the trap-door at the top of it, a cry of " The police 1" and " Murder !" was 'raised by a woman in the room below, and instantly the trap door was slammed down, and they could distinctly hear a number of people place themselves upon it, so as by their weight to prevent its being lifted again. The officer, however. who first mounted the ladder had seen enough to convince him of what was going on. In a room only 20 feet by 18 feet were nearly 150 men crowding round a place in the middle of the floor, about three yards square, parted off from the rest of the room by a low partition of boards, and within this place he could hear dogs "snarling and grinding" at each other, whilst the men who huddled. around them were yelling and exciting them to greater fero city. The inspector now peremptorily demanded admission, and the prisoner, John Mansfield, in a short time lifted the trap and admitted the inspector and the police. The growl ing, barking, and yelling of dogs and men had then subsided ; but the prisoner Mansfield, whose shirt-sleeves were tucked up to his elbows, and his hand and arms covered with blood, acknowledged himself the proprietor of the pit, but denied that there had been any dog-fighting there, although twenty or thirty bull dogs and bull terriers were found tied up in the rooms below. Mansfield declared that they were only brought there to kill rats, and the rats had not arrived. The floor of the room was strewed with sawdust, except the square place in the centre, and that was literally covered with blood. In a box in the room the police found a large bull dog, panting and quite exhausted, with its head " as raw as if it had been skinned," and in another box, or rather two boxes, they found a couple of badgers, one alive and the other dead, but quite warm, and with one of its legs gnawed or torn off. In the room there was a pair of scales for the purpose of weighing the dogs before they were set to fight, and buckets of water with s sponges for the purpose of wiping the blood from their eyes and chaps, lest it should suffocate or blind them, and so spoil the sport. They also found the hides of two dogs, pre served probably on account of the " pluck" their wearers had displayed when living. The inspector and the other witnesses were furiously cross-examined by the solicitor for the defence The inspector was asked if he did not know that many gentlemen kept such dogs ? He replied, "I do not ; and in my opinion no gentleman would keep them, especially for such purposes as these." Did not know whether there were any noblemen or gentlemen present or not ; but when the police entered the room many men were jumping out of the windows, and they might be noblemen or gentlemen for anything he knew to the contrary. The Learned Gentleman then contended that the case had not been proved against any of his clients except Mansfield, and that was upon his own confession. He insinuated that noblemen and gentle men had been allowed to escape, whilst these poor men were selected for punishment, although they were mere dupes of their titled companions, and led into the crime by them, and for their own amusement. Mr. HALL, in delivering his judgment, said he hoped the persons thus alluded to were not gentlemen, or in a station entitling them to be so called ; at all events they were not proved to be so ; and there was nothing at all to show that the inspector had not done his duty honestly. Had this prosecution been instituted under the Police Act, all the per sons captured must have been brought before that court, and then it would have been seen who and what they were; but as it was laid under the Act of Will. IV., the principals only were liable, and they were now here to be dealt with. After a minute review of the evidence, his Worship sentenced John Mansfield and Abraham Smith to pay the full penalty of 51. each, and discharged Nash and Hayes, as it appeared doubt ful whether they had acted as principals or not. - - THE LATE HON.

DUBLIN, APRIL I.—The trial of Patrick Rice, and Patrick Hayes, for the murder of Mr. Clarke, was resumed at Nenagh (North Tipperary) assizes, on Tuesday morning, having occupied the Court from the previous Tuesday. After Mr. Martley, Q.C., had closed his reply for the Crown, Mr. Justice Ball, at twelve o'clock, proceeded to charge the jury, who had retired at post hour to consider their verdict. It is stated that a letter has been received in town, announcing that the jury returned a verdict of guilty against both prisoners; but we are unable to state that such is the fact. THE ARMY. The Banner of - Ulster says—" Recruiting has not been so brisk in this province for many years past as at the present time. We understand that Lieut. Clarke, of the Royal Ar tillery, has a batch of forty strapping recruits to send off." MR.. GERRARD'S TENANTRY. The following statement from Mr. Garrard, appears in Saunders's News Letter "My attention has been lately called to the statements which have appeared in certain newspapers relative to the dispossessing of a number of persons from my estate in the county of Galway, on the 18th instant ; and as those state mentsh r o u ghartehe en mu i c uuls of your n variance with the truth, I beg leave, your journal, to set forth the true and simple fasts of the ewe. known e b r 3 e , t is h e a n d a e m n e on s t f i %a n t ; I n n a o s f s, n ezn p es r ta i i t n e g i a n bo t u h t at 3o c o o n u e n r t e y s s lgs a h er p e l s an of ta b t ( i i i g n: ilennisthi reeyeoafrpLim,7e thirty upland ,p e l r v s i n t n hs sent upwards ni e in a proposal in writing to become my tenants, at a rent of 1/. 108. an acre for the upland (nothing for the bog). I kept that proposal, allowed those thirty persons into possession under it, and received from one (the principal of them) the rent half-yearly, up to the Ist of March, 1842. " In the period intervening between the year 1827 and the Ist of March, 11142; those 30 tenants sublet considerable por tions of the lands to about 40 miserable persons, from whom they exacted, in some instances, a rent of 21., 21. 10s., and even 31. an acre. I did everything I could, at all times, by remonstrances, to prevent the subletting; and to stop it if possible I invariably insisted upon the full rent being paid by the principal of the 30 tenants, and never, in any instance, recognised or received rent from the undertenants. "The September rent of 1842 having been demanded in the usual way from the original 30 tenants, they, one and all, refused to pay it, alleging that they would only pay the rent of the portions of the lands then in their actual occu pation ; and as their undertenants were unable to pay any rent, that I should settle with these undertenants as best I could. The same answers were given to the demand for the rent of March and September, 1843, and March, 1844. "Accordingly, I was forced to bring an ejectment in Easter Term, 1844, against those lands for non-payment of rent, which ejectment it was impossible to serve on the parties by reason of their violence and lawlessness ; and the Court of Queen's Bench, in consequence, dispensed with the usual services, and substituted another mode of effecting them. At length the partied took defence, and I was obliged, at a great expense, to have the case brought to trial at the Summer Assizes of 1844 for the county of Gainsay. The defence at the trial was, that I did not sign the pro posal of 1827, although I let the parties into possession, and rent was paid by them under it from 1827 to March, 1842. I, however, obtained a verdict, the jury having found that there was 708/. 10s. 9d. rent due to me by the defendants to March, 1844, subject to the point of law as to my non-signa ture of the proposal. " In the Michaelmas term of 1844 that point of law was argued in the Queen's Bench in Dublin, and the Court having felt some difficulty in deciding it, sent the case to a second trial, for the purpose of having that question brought before them in a more comprehensive form. " An eminent Queen's Counsel having advised me that I should succeed upon the point of law, the second trial took place at the Spring Assizes of 1845, with precisely the same results; and the same point of law was again brought before the Queen's Beach. Pending all this litigation the arrears of rent were increasing, but not one farthing of rent was paid, although the lands were regularly cropped in the n - eantime, and the money, the produce thereof, went in part to sustain that expensive litigation, and the resides into the pockets of the defendants. _ _ _ _ " In this state of things, on the 15th of September, 1845, with a view of putting an end to the lit igation, I sent a pro fessional gentleman from Dablin to have an interview with the defendants, and to propose to them on my behalf that they should be forgiven the large arrears of rent and the costs then due—be allowed to take the crops then in ground free of all rent, which crops at the time were valued at 7001. or 8001.—and be allowed to remain in undisturbed posses sion of their houses and lands until the Ist of February, 1846, provided they should agree then to give up the posses sion thereof. They did, at that time, agree to all this in the presence of their attorney, and they then signed a consent to that effect, bearing date the 15th of September, 1845. 1 have ever since faithfully acted up to every part of that agreement ; how the defendants acted since Callan now pro ceed to.show. "Towards the latter and of February last I sent the same gentleman again to the lands, to see when the possession of them, pursuant to the said consent, would be given up. He remained in the neighbourhood for a month, short of a few days, an during that period he afforded men, horses, and carts, at our expense, to such of the persons as desired to re move off their lands their provisions, manure, the furniture of their houses, and, in short, everything that belonged to , _ _ remained, and not only would not leave, altli - Ougla some of them had provided houses elsewhere, but in the teeth of their own consent, they collected a sum of money for the purpose of consulting an attorney, which they did, to see if they could offer any further legal opposition to giving up the possession of the lands, and thereby, as they declared, exact money from me. " It was not until every other means had failed that the sheriff, with his force, was brought to the lands on the 13th instant (six weeks after the time agreed on for the posses- ' sion being given), and he gave me the possession of all the lands, but two houses, and their holdings; a number of per sons in my employment attended for the purpose of assisting the people to remove, and take down their houses after the possession should be given, which they did. The timber of the houses was carefully taken down--very little, if any of it, was broken, and the people were allowed to take it away. There were two sick families, and only two, on the lands. By my orders a doctor was fee'd, and was brought to see them. He certified they were unwell ; and not only was the possession not taken of their houses, lands, or holdings, but no person was allowed to approach them, and they remained in their houses on the 'lands ever since, up to Saturday night last. " I have been infonned,and believe, that no accident of any kind happened to any person while the possession was being taken ; and the statement that a child was killed in a woman's arms is a falsehood. It is impossible such a thing should have happened without my knowing it. " I have been so credibly informed of all that took place, that I assert confidently that the people who were dispos sess,td were treated with the greatest kindness and consi deration by . my agent, and those acting under his orders, at all times prior, subsequent to, and during the taking of the possession and several of them at the time, and since, thanked him for so treating them. There• were live widows (of the original thirty tenants) on the lands, to whom I gave 4/. each, after they were dispossessed. The rent, up to the Ist of March instant, which was due out of the lands, amounted to 1,602/. 18s., besides poor-rates, county rates, and the costs of the proceedings. " It has been also stated that I turned out tenants who held another part of my estate called Newbridge, the cir- . cumstances relating to which are as follows :—lt was held under a very old lease for three lives; and on the death of the surviving life the tcnants, instead of settling with me for a new tenancy, as I was desirous they should do, thought proper to allege that the last old life was not dead, and they set up the life of a person of the same name as that last life, although not born for several years after the execution of the lease; and they (the tenants) actually employed an at torney, who took defence to my ejectment in the name of a pauper cottier, thereby putting me to the expense of a record, but made no sort of defence upon the trial, except to cross examine the witnesses who were produced on my part to prove the deaths of all the lives which they (the tenants) were just as well acquainted with as those witnesses, al though they went to some expense, and put us to heavy costs, merely to see if any point of law could be raised by their counsel upon the trial, which would enable them to keep possession without payment of rent; and thus, for sooth, I am designated a cruel landlord for turning out such fraudulent people. "I could, in like manner, satisfy any dispassionate person that my conduct as proprietor of the property was always marked by a just and kind feeling for those of my tenants who deserved favour at my hands by their good conduct and industry. I have carried on extensive works, given great employment, and mach assistance at all times in clothing and food on my estate. " Under all those circumstances, I tak e l eave t o as k any person who will be at the tro u bl e o f rea di ng th i s statement, is it not a very great hardship that I should have been dragged before the public in the manner I have been latek in relation to my e s t a t es i n th e coun t y o f Galway ?—YOW obedient servant, "JOHN N. GERRARD. " Morrison's Hotel, Dublin, March 31, 1846." COMMISSION OF LUNACY.—Thursday a commission was'opened at the Horns Tavern, Kennington, before Mr. Commis limier Winslow, to inquire into the state of mind of Mr. Edward Watkins, aged 61, a wealthy oil and colourman, of Vauxhall-walk and Kennington. The commission was unopposed, being instituted by the children of the alleged lunatic, and the circumstances are in teresting solely from the fact that Mr. Watkins had recently under gone repeated examinations at the Lambeth Police-court, on a charge of having extensively defrauded the Government byt he sale of forged stamps. His wife, who was implicated in the charge, is at this time in Newgate awaiting her trial, but Mr. Watkins himself, since that period, bad exhibited such manifest tokens of insanity, that the present proceedings were instituted, and the Attorney- General was aboat to enter a prosequi en the charge against him. Mr. Watkins having been introduced and examined by the commission, and a variety of medical evidence heard, the jury re tamed a verdict, dating his unsoundness of mind from Janitary 23, FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENTS WITH AN 03INIBUS.—On Thursday forenoon a series of most fearful accidents occurred in the Walworth-road, of which the following are the particulars :—Shortly before twelve, as one of the Atlas omnibuses was proceeding down the Walworth-road the horses became unmanageable, and the driver was pitched off the box and fell upon his head with great violence. The horses uncontrolled dashed on with the vehicle, and In their course overturned several stalls and barrows belonging to itinerant fruitmen. An elderly female, living in one of the Fishmongers' Almshouses. was knockd down, hut fortunately escaped with a few bruises. The animals after some trouble wore stopped, and the driver was found to be seriously injured. At the Elephant and Castle another driver was procured, who mounted the box and was driving down the road, when all of a sudden the horses ran the splinter bar of the omnibus against a heAvy cart. The concussion was so great that this driver was also thrown from his seat, stud falling upon his head between the horses, his head was much injured, and it is stated w that the wheels of thu vehicle passed over his body. ne poor was removed to Guy's Hospital, where he at present remains hout nue, hope of recovery.
