This was a trial which took place before the Lord Chief Justice at Hereford, in which nominal damages were awarded to the plaintiff. Mr. GODSON, Q.C., now moved for a rule to show cause why a new trial should not be granted, on the ground of the verdict of the jury being against the evidence offered in the case. The COURT decided that it would consult the Lord Chief Justice before coming to any decision upon the subject. THE QUEEN V. NEWTON. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL in this case called upon the Court to pronounce a rule ,regulatink the allowances to be made to the. Snerifi of Middlesex in cases where seizures were made on behalf of the Crown. It ap• peered that by an Act passed in the 3d George 1., sec. 3 and 18, a certain poundage was allowed upon the levying of all Crown debts, in full satisfaction of every charge of the sheriff: The Ist Vie., chap. 55, sec. 1 and following secti-.ms authorised, the judges to make a rule for allowing the sheriffs certain fees upon execution, and the question to be decided, and upon which a rule was prayed, was. whether the sheriffs were entitled to re ceive as uoundago, in addition to the allowance authorised by the 3d Geo 1., the sun) allowed by the 3d Vic.

In the bill of pariieu:ars which had been filed by the plaintiff, no mention was made of the names of any of the parties of whom, or to whom, the sale or purchase .4 the shares hal been ; and the Learned Counsel • therefore contended that such particulars were ab;o. lately necessary, in order to enable the defendant to • rebut if pos:lible the statement of the plaintiff, and also to enable him to prove whether such contract had or had not been entered into on his behalf by the plaintiii: —Rule granted. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Nov. '2. This being the commencement of Michaelmas Term, the Q le,n's CoUoSel appeared it, full dress. Among those present we observed the Al torney-Gcneral, the SoLcitor• (=eneral, Sir Frederick Thesiger (the late Attorney - General), Mr. Sirgtartt Tali.oird, Mr. Andrews. Mr. Watson, Mr. Whateley, Mr. Stuart Wortley, and !Mr. Alexr,nder. The attendance of the bar was unusually large, and the Court was very crowded, a great number of ladies being present. The Lord Chief Justice, and Mr. Justice Coleridge, Mr. Juitije 1 4 74:;htnr:tn, and Mr. Justice-Erle, took their seat& on the bench shortly before two O'C.loi:k. APPLICATION FOR A CRIMINAL INFORMATION AGAINST W. U. FERRAND, M.P. Sir F. Tnasruen said he had to apply for a criminal information against Mr. William Busfeild Ferranti, 31. P., on account of two letttera which he published in the Times newspaper of the Bth and 11th of August lust Mr. Ferrand had adinittcd writing and publishing the letters. 'Before he proceeded to refer more particularls to the It tters themselves, it would be necessary that 11; should shortly detail seine matters which took plait tome time betwe they were 1 üblish d, and which i w.s absolutely necessary their Lordships should be it possession of. In the West Riding of Yorkshire then was a poor-hew union entitled the Keightley Union, is which Mr. Ferrand :tier, and probably then was, thi hairman of the board ofguardians. At the beginning; of the year 1842, the Poor-law Commissioners receiver information that various irregularities were practised by the gt f ardians of the union, and that the new Poor-law WSA not properly carried out by' them. In consequence of this Mr. Lewis wrote to Mr. 111eq, an assistant-corn missioner, in whose district the Keightly Utlior. was situated. It was dated the 22d of Fe bruary, 1842, and stated the nature of the information which had been received, and desired him not to make a special examination, or to let it be known that he came there for a special purpose, anti to 4 - raw up a report with respect to the allegations brought :against the guardians of the union. On the following day Mr. Lewis wrote a letter to the Poor law Commis. :stoners, saying that he believed there was too much truth wits respect to the irregularities in the Keightley Union, and addhig that similar charges might be mad -with considerable truth against other manufacturing unions. Mr. Mott, it appeared, visited the Keightley Union and made a report on the 23d of April. Mr. Mott reported that he attended a meeting 41t the guardians on the 13th of April, and that he found they conducted their proceedings in a very irregular =tanner ; in short, that they entirely set at variance the provisions of the Poor-law—that all the errors of the old Poor-law were carried on, the poor claiming out door relief as a right, and that the rates were conse quently very fast increasing ; and the guardians, on the 23cl of April, issued an order for an out-door labour test and for abolishing the payment of rates in certain cases. On- the; 26th of May Mr. Ferrand gave notice, in his place in Parliament, to move for an address to her Majesty to rescind the order of the union of the 23d. In order to test the accuracy of Mr. Mott's report, Sir John Welsher was cent down to make an inquiry, and the report which he made confirmed it in its most material points. A Com tnittee of the House of Commons was appointed on the 28th of June, 1842, to inquire into the allegations con tained in the reports. The Committee, after examining Witnesses, also held that the reports were correct in all the material allegations, although they stated they con tained some expressions which required qualification. Vow, in the course of last session a Select Committee was !appointed to inquire into the condition of the Andover Union, and Mr. Lewis was summoned to give evidence before it. Immediately afterwards the letters referred to appeared in the Times. The first letter, which bore slate the Ist of August, stated that although ill health Lad prevented him from attending to his Parliamentary elastics, he had watched the proceedings of the Andover Zillion with intense interest. It went on to say, what must be the feeli.ig o every Hon. Member of the House of Com mons Maid read the evidence taken before the com mittee on uie preceding Saturday with respect to the sptatement which he made in the House of Commons on iiha 6th ot. April, 1844, that Sir James Graham took steps to peoeuee a report for the purpose of crushing )rim (Mr. Yersasid), a Member of the House of Commons, and which the House, in Sir James Graham's simple denial, voted " calumnious and un founded?" Now, on Saturday the denial of Sir James Graham was proved to have been false. Mr. Parker and Tdr. Manners Sutton, Sir James's private secretary, had done. all they could to make it appear that he had not r ctired, an " infamous and false report." Sir George Grey had promised next session to sanction the appointment of a Committee on the subject of thePoor ' law when neither Mr. Manners Sutton nor any one else would be able to screen him, for he (Mc. Ferrand) should provv that Mr. Lewis knew that the report of Mr. Mott was fa ls e , and that knowino• it to be false he carried it to Sir James Graham, and that Sir John Walsher's re port was also false. Sir James Graham handed the reports to Sir Robert Peel in the House of Commons, Who upon the strength of them made a charge against birch, and that he (Mr. Ferrand) still maintained that the whole . proceeding was a false and i nf a mous conspiracy between Sir James Graham and Mr. :Lewis, for the purpose of crushing him. lie (Sir Frederick Thesiger) considered that on this letter alone Mr. Lewis was entitled to his applica tion. When Mr. Lewis was examined before the An- (lover Committee he did m:tsi;;;tb:the - would be ex amined with respect to the Keightley Union, and he WAS the!iefore not so fully prepared to reply to the questions idle h were put to him as he otherwise would have been. and be m; stakingly said, in reply to a question, that Mr. Mott wsa sent down from the Hosue- nice to Keightley. wharesi Sir John VVulsher was sent down, but he sub lialtientivsecondmistake, letter, en the I ° 4 ' 'A . Au gust , said that the bursting of the Yoorelaw CornteiVhone.rs was "a great fact;" that Mr- iMannexs Sutton, saittee , was in the habitoof7l4l3il,iing a member . of the Com 111r.

Mr. Lewis was rst,,,falsehovd. for the purpose o f d ee ', *et .eby preventing the Arch- Commi,,cui e h r e I Isma e , an d Graham, front the infamy which awaits him . , Sir It went on to say that Mr. Mutt's report wa s date d i the e 13tat of April, 184 ' 2 , whereas the order for oat- doorcet Was mot issued until the 30th of that month, a n d that h ie motion to the House for the withdrawal of it was nnt made until June, so that it was untrue that Mr. Mott received instructions in consequence of the order ; and that were ,a witness at the Old Bailey to utter such a falso hood h h e would be peaked off in the prison van, and in- dieted for perjury ; and yet such a person was the confi dential friend of the Arch-Commissioner. He asked if there was no Member of the -Committee of the House of Com mons who would move that Mr. Lewis be called to the bar of the House of Commons, in order that he might receive condign punishment, for having deli‘ erately pre pared the evidence in order to deceive t( .e House of Commons, and that if it was overlooked the proceedings of the Committees of the House would become a farce. He (Sir Frederick Thesiger) thought it unne cessary to read any other document. Mr. Ferrand had admitted writing the letter. He had the affidavit of Mr. Lewis and the affidavit of Sir James Graham, denying the truth of those parts of the letters which were directed against them, and both positively denied that any instructions whatever were given to Mr. Mott for the purpose of obtaining a partial report for any purpose whatever. It was positively denied by them that when the motion of Mr. Ferrand was before the House, on the 26th of May,that the report of Mr. Mott had been communicated to Sir James Graham, and they, in the most positive and direct manner, stated that the state ments with respect to the verdict were utterly unfounded. Mr. Lewis, knowing that the charges were false, and that they were like ly to injure his character, and render it impossible for him, while they remained unexplained and uncontradicted, to pursue his duties, he had felt it his duty to apply to the Court for a criminal information. Lord DENNAN—Take an order to show cause. sonal property cannot be effected with greater facility or in less compass than mortgages of real estate; on the 1 contrary, the assurances requisite for the purpose (making allowance for the different characters of the property) are in both cases precisely the same, with this exception—that in mortgages of personal estate greater care and skill are requisite to guard against an execution creditor and the effects of bankruptcy and insolvency, so far as these effects - are capable of being provided against. As to settlements of personal property,they are frequently as lengthy as corresponding settlements of real estates, as any counsel, solicitor, or law stationer or if needs be, Mr. Stewart's own book o f precedents will testify. So much, therefore, for the doctrine of assimilation contended for by Mr. Stewart. As to the expeditiousness (if I may be allowed the term), which Mr. Stewart suggests as requisite to the assurances of real property, it may be sufficient to remark that the operation of such assurances is at present instantaneous ; so far as respects greater expedition in the preparation and execution of them, this, it is obvious, must be a matter wholly out of the range of legislative provision. With respect to the fourth of Mr. Stewart's sugges tions, namely, "A greater certainty as to time in com pleting the sale and mortgage of land," it may be sufficient to apprise the agriculturista, and others interested in land, that they are already in a position to effect this object for themselves, without the aid of the Legislature, by simply making time of the essence of the contract. The following extract from the first volume of "Bythewood's Conveyancing," by Parken and Stewart, p. 79, will probably be deemed a sufficient au thority for this statement :—"A provision may be inserted in agreements making time of the essence of the contract, in case the purchase money be not paid at the time appointed ; but, of course, clauses making agree ments void, if a title bo not made, or the purchase money paid by a certain time, should never be inserted unless it be the express intention of the parties ;" and the follow ing note by the editor(!):—" It was at one time doubted whether time could be made of the essence of the con tract, but it has lately been decided that it may." The sth and last " that some mode of M should be r. Stewart's su ggest i ons, namely adopted for shortening in qeiry as to title," involves most serious considerations ; inasmuch as the only apparent mode by which this ob ject can be obtained, is that of shortening the duration of human life, in relation to which the rule as to length of title had its origin. It is submitted, that as long as the days of man are three score years and ten, and life es tates are permitted, so long will a deduction of a sixty years' title be essential to a purchaser's protection ; for. otherwise, if we suppose a case of not unusual occur rence (namely), that of a tenant for life, assuming the absolute ownership, and making a conveyance in fee, under which possession is enjoyed for the period which Mr. Stewart would establish as the maximum of title which a purchaser could require, we should have this anomalous state of things —either the purchaser must be protected, and the parties entitled in remainder defeated by the illegal Act of the tenant for life, against which they could not have guarded ; or else such persons in re inainder must be allowed to recover the estate as against the purchaser, whom a court of equity may have com pelled to accept th e t i tle ; which would be equally unjust. I have now carefully gone through the five remedies proposed by Mr. Stewart, and have, I trust, satisfacto rily shown, that out of these five remedies four are either useless or impracticable ; and that the fifth, namely, the conversion of copyhold and customary estates into free hold, may be deemed to have been delayed or frustrated, principally through the introduction, by Mr. Stewart himself, of a clum'sy and inefficient measure for the purpose. Before concluding it may be proper to remark, that there is one point in which Mr. Stewart and I cordially agree, namely, that the future revision of the law should he entrusted to competent and unprejudiced persons, ap pointed by the Government. Owiag to some of the profligate measures of the last few sessions, the law of real property is at present in a highly unsatisfactory state. It is, in fact, utt er ly impos sible at prese n t t o complete a purchase of real estate with a certainty that the purchaser may not be evicted by claims against which no skill or foresight of his profes sional adviser can protect him. 'What folly, then, to be nigling about a few shillings in the cost of trans fer, when the safety of the whole inheritance is at stake! The present is a crisis which demands all the talent and experience the profession can supply, to protect us from the inextricableeconf usion with which we are threatened. That there are men of character and experience in the ' profession competent to act in the emergency we know— men of undoubted ability, whose past exertions in sim plifying and improving the law have never been con trolled by partiality or prejudice for institutions w:tich they were the means of abolishing, and whose position places them out of the reach of selfish or interested motives. It is to such men as these, then, that the task of revision should be committed; and I feel assured that the landed proprietors will much better consult their true interests by bringing about this result than by giv ing further countenance or encouragement to the sense les. extravagancice recommended for their consideration by Mr. Stewart. MR. STEWART AND - THE - LAW OF REAL PROPERTY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir,—A regard for the credit of the profession of which I am a member, has induced me to trouble you with a few remarks on a letter published in your journal a few day ago, on the subject of the law of real pro perty, and addressed by Mr. Stewart, the conveyancer, to members of agricultural societies, and others inter ested in land. There can be but one opinion entertained of this pro duction by any person conversant at all with the subject on which it treats ; and, accordingly, I should have spared myself the trouble of making any observations on the matter, had not your own comments on this letter given it a publicity and importance which I trust further consideration will induce you to think unmerited. You preface your remarks by a statement, that Mr. Stewart's well-known character and reputation as a lawyer might afford some guarantee that his senti ments had been well digested and considered. Now, it is by no means an enviable task for one profes sional man to have to criticise the character and re putation of another ; but I think I am fairly justi fied in doubting whether Mr. Stewart's character and reputation, amongst the profession, are calculated to enhance his qualifications, either as a censor or reformer of the laws of real property. So far as lam at present informed, the public acts with which Mr. Stewart's name is directly associated, are that of the 4th Victoria, c. 21, - a somewhat clumsy provision for dispensing with a lease for a year, which the more sensible measure of last session, by Mr. Kerr, has superseded ; and the Act for the Enfranchisement of Copyholds, notoriously one of the most remarkable instances of legislative impotency and bad drafting on record.* Mr. Stewart is also the author of a kind of hash of " Blackstone's Commentaries," strongly recommended by some persons for the use of students, and has also contributed, jointly with Mr. Parken, to an edition of " Bythewood's Practice of Conveyancing. A comparison of the difference be tween the price and circulation of this edition 'and the more able one by Mr. Jarman, will show the estimation in which the respectivp editors are held by the profession. What part Mr. Stewart may have taken in some of the disreputable measures of the last few sessions I know not; but from certain expressions in his letter, I collect that the most mischievous of these measures has, at all events, received his sanction and approbation. But to the letter in question, for upon this must Mr. Stewart's character and reputation for the present rest. After commencing his address to members of agricul tural societies and others interested in land, by informing them that " if they are wise they will know nothing" of the subject which he proposes to discuss, Mr. Stewart proceeds to a comparison of the value of land in England as compared with that on the Continent, from which he arrives at this conclusion :—That, inasmuch as the value of land in France, Belgium, and Prussia exceeds that of land in England, such difference is not unreasonably to be attributed, in part at least, to the difference in the law regulating the transfer. Now, the utmost extent to which the expense of transfer could, in ordinary prin ciples of reasoning, influence the difference in value, would be the excess of the expense of transfer in Eng land over that on the continent ; but Mr. Stewart has himself satisfactorily shown, that owing:to the increased stamp duty payable on the continent, the difference of such expense can he but trifling, and wholly inadequate to account for any substantial disparity in value, sup posing such disparity to exist. If Mr. Stewart be desi rous of pushing his researches into this matter further, he will probably discover that the difference in question is attributable principally, if not wholly, to the superior a.lvantages which England possesses for the application of capital in commerce and speculation. It would not ise sufficient, however, for Mr. Stewart's argument to establish that the additional expense of transfer occa s;oned a difference in land ; but he must maintain this turther proposition, that such increased expense of trans fer constitutes a serious impediment to the free aliens :ion of land in this country. Now, after the pains he took to institute a comparison between the disposition of land in England and on the continent, it might have b ei, expected that he would have been prepared with some evidence of alienation being more frequent on the continent than in England, in order to have made good his position that the excess of the expense of transfer ie England was the cause of the limited alienation in the country as compared with the continent ; but he has of (bleed no such evidence, _and therefore it is a :- ference, iu the abseiled of- some proof to the contrary that, with respect to such portion of the real property of this country as is not rendered inalienable by set tlement, alienation is as frequent as on the con tinent. To attribute any practical influence' to the in• significant amount of difference in the expense of trans fer would be ab-urd. Will Mr. Stewart venture •to as sert, 'that a ,party was ever deterred from purchasing an estate he bad set his mind upon by any consideration of the expense of conveyance ? It mght be possible, in deed, to find one of that class of persons whom your commissioner ' styles " hard-fisted," who might growl at the costs, or beat down his attor ne y i n t o an a b atement of the ordinary scale of charges ; but there are few, I apprehend, who would allow such considerations to defeat an intended purchase, or even to form an estimate in their computation of value. The true cause of the frequency of alienation in this country, it is submitted, are—lst, The practice of locking u? estates in settlement, which applies to most of the large estates in the kingdom; and, 2dly, The strong disinclination which exists on the part of landowners in general to part with an acre of their inheritance. It is a well-known fact, that a man will encumber his estate to the last farthing of its value, anal annually starve upon it before he will permit a partici, of it to go into the market. It must be admitted, then, that there is no foundation whatever for the position as sumed by Mr. Stewart, that the costs of conveyance practically either retard or prohibit the free sale and dis position of land in this country. It still remains, how ever, to consider, first, how far the grievances of which Mr. Stewart complains really have any existence ; and, secondly, how far the remedies suggested by him are calculated to be of service in removing them. The re medies suggested are five,- namely :- 1. Simplicity and-uniformity of tenure. 2. Easy, cheap, and expeditious modes of transfer. 3. Shorter and more simple deeds. 4. A greater certainty as to time in completing the sale and iortgage of land ; and, 5. Some mode of shortening inquiry as to title. Now, as regards simplicity of tenure, it is scarcely Necessary to remark, that with the exception of copy holds and customary freeholds, and, perhaps, some few cases of grand sergeantry, the tenure of lands, in this country, is as simple as it can possibly be made. If Mr. Stewart imagines that he can add anything to the sim plicity of free and common socage tenure, he ought in fairness to have given some intimation of it. In the ab sence of some enlightenment on the subject, it is utterly impossible to divine what he can mean. But Mr. Stewart's powers of imagination seem, in many in stances, to have got the superiority over his reason. He tells us, in a former part of his letter, "that the spectre of feudality still haunts the land, clanking its chains, and rising at the most unforeseen moment to scare the lawful owner from doing what ho will with his own." Now, rhapsodical nonsense such as this is scarcel' the language a man of " character and reputation' would indulge in on a serious matter-of-fact subject. The truth of the matter, however, is, that ther e are no feudal remain s w hi c h i n the slightest degree interfere with the full and free dominion over freehold estates in this country. The spectre in question is therefore only a " bodiless creation ' of Mr. Stewart's own, conjured up to answer the part of a scarecrow for the occasion. As to the uniformity of tenure, by the conversion of copyhold and customary estates into free and common socage, it is well known that this has long been a desi deratum, and would dobtless ere this have been accom plished by efficient measures, prepared under the su perintendence of experienced and competent parsons, had not Mr. Stewart himself foisted on the public an enactment for the purpose which has been wholly un productive of any practical good. This may enable us to account for Mr. Stewart's recommendation, that the preparation of the necessary measures of reform should be entrusted to able and competent persons to be ap pointed by the Government. The second and third remedies suggested by Mr. Stewart, are easy, cheap and expeditous modes of trans fer, and short and more simple deeds. So far as these terms comprehend the ordinary assurances for transfers ring property, every one is well aware that, owing to the exertions of the profession, without taking into consider ration the questionable measures of last session but one, these assurances have obtained a degree of conciseness which excludes the possibility or advantage of any further reduction. When a conveyance of land, ex clusive of the parcels, can be prepared in a form as short as that of a transfer of stock, so that the Legislature has thought it needful to provide remuneration for the party preparing it, additional to what the length of the transfer would have entitled them, it becomes impossible to see what just ground of complaint can exist on this head. It is true that in many cases the conveyances of real property extend to a great length ; but this, it is well known, is owing not to the operation of the instru ment of transfer, but to the complication of interests in volved in the transaction. As long as the present prac tice prevails, of subjecting property to limitations in strict settlement, with all the powers and charges inci dent to this species• of disposition. so long must The ultimate discharge of the property from these interests necessarily be complicated, and the assurance by which it is effected proportionably lengthy. But it is obvious that the Legislature can afford no remedy for such a state of things, unless by imposing a restraint on the powers of disposition, which Mr. Stewart's friends, the agricul turists, would probably be the first to reject. If landed proprietors would be satisfied with a simple owner ship in fee, the transfer of land might be effected as simply, and.perhaps more conveniently, than a transfer of stock ; but if they are determined to adopt a more preservative policy, they must submit to entail on them selves and their posterity the necessary consequences of such a course. It will be apparent, from what has been said, that as the inordinate length to which conveyances of real estate are sometimes extended, is occasioned - not by the specific effect of the form of transfer, but by the number and intricacy of the interests involved, the same result may be applicable to dealings with personal estates. We find, therefore, that in (lisp tsitions of personal estate, where varied or partial interests are created or dealt with, there is pr ec i se ly t h e same nee ss i ty for lengt h y andintricate assurances as in cases of real estate. On this subject Mr. Stewart has displayed most lamentable ignorance. His language is as follows : " Intricate and difficult questions will no doubt arise in civilised states ; but the familiar transactions, the sale and the mortgage, should be easily understood and easily performed. We know they are so in personalty, in produce' in stock in the funds." Now, any professional person will bear me out in the assertion (which is abun dantly evidenced by a reference to Mr. Stewart's own published volume of precedents) that mortgages of per.. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Nov. 2 COX V. DREW.-DERBY RACE-COIIRBE. Mr. Sergeant CLARK moved fora rule to set aside a verdict granted in this case, which was tried at the last Derbyassizes before Mr. Justice Patteson and a special jury, and to enter a verdict for the defendant on certain issues preferred at the time, which stated that the property in question had been used from time immemorial by the corporation of Derby for the benefit of the inha bitants. The plaintiff denied that the property was so situated, but that the corporation had only, been allowed, for a limited period, the privilege of using the ground for the purpose of the races, and had no right to the exclusive employment of it. The Learned Gentleman went at some length into the history of the case, from which it appeared that ever since the year 1799 races had been run over the course, the ground being set apart from the 16th of January to the 16th of July, while during the rest of the year cattle were turned into it. Recently the right of the corporation to the use of the property in the manner named had been opposed by certain parties, who had religious objections to the running of races, and the ac tion had been brought through the person who was stated to be the real proprietor, in order to stop the races. After a long trial a verdict had been given for the defendant, but leave was given to move in the supe rior court for leave to enter a verdict for the defendant, on the plea that the corporation had established the right to the use of the property for the purpose named, from the long time the races had been permitted, and therefore that the plaintiff had no right to exclude the inhabitants or the corporation in the mode attempted.— Rule nisi granted.

I saw him withdraw his hand from to) p ,, cket, and I felt my purse fall into my pocket. Mr. Robinson—And you would probably have let him go if he had given you a respectable reference? Wit Mess—Probably that would have been the case, for, iron the respectability of his appearance, nobody would have suipased him capable of such an act. Mr. Robinson—Why did you not give him into cus tody on the platform of the London terminus ? Wit nessCL--tecause there was no policeman. It will be recollected that it was near this spot that the present Lord Mayor was robbed of his watch and -.eels, on returning from Blackwall, and that at that time a heavy charge was brought that not one policeman was employed there for the protection of the pubiic. The LORD MAYOR—I suppose, prisoner, you can pro duce some respectable friends? Mr. Robinson—l beg your Lordship's pardon, but he is not hound to do anything of the kind. It has not been know that he is a suspected person, or that he went there with intent to commit a felony. The LORD Ma - vost-Then I am not to ask him whether he can give a respectable reference ? Mr. Robinson—No, my Lord. There is no proof that he was there to commit a robbery. The LORD MAYOR—Why the prisoner's hand was in the man's pocket. Mr. Robinson—That's nothing.—(A laugh.) Mr. Goodman knows that. Mr. Goodman, (the chief clerk)—That's quite enough to make a person suspected. The LORD MAYOR—I wish to know where the pri soner is to found ? Mr. Robinson—That's a question which your Lord ship may ask when he comes before you again.—(A laugh.) He is not bound to say under the present cir cumstances. Mr. Goodman—Perhaps the Lord Mayor would think proper to make the experiment, by committing the pri soner to Newgate, whether he is not liable to imprison. ment for two years for the attempt to commit a felony. Mr. Robinson—l never knew that.—(Laughter.) Mr. Goodman—A man was committed from this ins tce-room last session under similar circumstances, and he was convicted and sentenced to imprisonment for twelve months. I happen to know several instances of the sort. The LORD MAYOR—WeII, I shall either remand him till to-morrow, that he may give a respectable reference, or I shall send him to prison for fourteen days. Which does he prefer ? Mr. Robinson—He prefers the latter, my Lord.— (Great laughter.) The prisoner was then committed for fourteen days. A yoUng man named George Beckett, was charged with having given to Mr. C. Day, at Newmarket, about three weeks ago, a bank-note for 10/., which had been stolen There had been a bet between them, and the prisoner did not deny subsequently that he had paid that identical note to the complainant, but declared that he knew not from whom he bad taken it. The prisoner assured the complainant that he would assist in tracing tha note, and observed that the complainant ought to have passed it off. The complainant did not know how many bets he had made at Newmarket. The LORD MAYOR discharged the case. TUE FREE HOSPITAL.---Mr. W. Puncher and H. H. Sugg, churchwardens of St. Margaret's Westminster, waited upon the Lord Mayor, and stated, that having seen in the Times newspaper of Saturday a statement made by some gentleman who applied at the Mansion heuse relative to the Free Hospital, they were desirous to have an explanation of the affair made before his Lordship. It had been mentioned in the Times, that one of the applicants observed to the Lord Mayor, that two poor persons from the workhouse at Westminster had been refused admission into the Free Hospital, in consequence of his Lordship's opinion that the poor should not be sent from such places to that institution. Now, they, (the churchwardens of St. Margaret's, Westminster), had called together all the officers of the workhouse of St. Margaret's, and questioned them strictly upon the subject, and the result of the inquiry was, the positive denial that any poor person had been sent to the Free Hospital from that workhouse. The LORD MAYOR said, he had expressed to the gen tlemen who had waited upon him on the - subjec', his sur prise at such a statement, an l his• intention to call a hard and make inquiry into tit* matter. He was glad that the prompt atntion of the churchwardens rendere arty further proceeding t-nnec ,scary. AN OMNIBUS MtsnaP.—Thursday morning, an oontibu4, newly painted, was on its road to the owners at Peckham, the vehicle being drawn by a single horse. Whilst the animal was crossing the Surrey Canal-bridge, at the bottom of George street, Albany-road, Camber well, it missed its footing, and the weight of the omnibus being too much fur the horse to stand against, it. slipped 1 04 , 11 the incline of the hrid4e, and, on getting to the butt on, and slowing suddenly round the towing path, backed over the bank, and fel! into the canal. The horse instantly became suspended to the pole, where he ro inained kicking and plunging for some time. Fortunately the driver succeeded in jumping off the box bef ore the vehicle got into the water. The police and other parties having gone to the man's assistance, the horse was re leased, and the vehicle was drawn out of the canal.

" Need I advert to the multiplicity of subjects the illustration of which may be made instrumental in in spiring a spirit of nationality? What branch of human knowledge is not capable of being rendered subservient to the aims of patriotism? The history and antiquities of Ireland, its legislation and jurisprudence; its ex ternal policy and internal administration, its resources, military, commercial, and agricultural; its mines, its fisheries, its manufacturing capabilities; the advance ment of our people in abstract practical science; the cultivation of the fine arts whatever bestows true dignity upon individuals, whatever contributes grace and accomplishments to society, whatever confers hap piness and strength and honour upon nations; such are the studies to which it ought to be your pride to allure the men who are entrusted with the future destiny of Ireland. " May I take the liberty of adding that enough has been said in vindication of the motives and conduct of the party with whom you act. The time has arrived when the two sections into which the Repeal force is now unhappily divided ought to abandon mutual recrimina tion, and to vie with each other in fidelity to Ireland and in devotion to her interests.

EDINBURGH, SATurtretx.—Yesterday a special general meeting of the proprietors was held here in the saloon of Gibbs's Royal . Hotel, to determine whether the com pany should proceed with the Bill for the formation of the Edinburgh and Perth line. Mr. Joust LEARMONTEI, of Dean, chairman of the company, presided, and stated the views of the directors regarding their present position, observing that the di rectors have felt that they were placed in circumstances of very considerable difficulty in regard to the Edin burgh and Perth line. They have ascertained beyond all question that there is a very considerable body of the shareholders of the North British Company strongly op posed to that line. They have also ascertained within these few days the notorious fact that the opposition which will be given to that line in Parliament has been greatly strengthened by the additional strength which has been imparted to the Scottish Central Railway by their association with that powerful body reaching from London to Perth. There also occurred to their con sideration various legal difficulties ; and, influenced by these various views, they have come to a resolution which I must now state to you, namely, that under these altered circumstances, they deem it inexpedient to continue their support to the Edinburgh and Perth line.—(Great applause.) I can assure you that my own views, at least, of the value of that line to this company are unchanged. I wish that that line had been made. We have a strong interest in it ; for I am persuaded that neither this nor any other company ought to be confined within its own strict limits ; but I cannot give my own judgment that weight so as to induce me to go on with what I believe to be almost impracticable. I believe it to be difficult, and very difficult indeed, for the Edin burgh and Perth Company to obtain their Act in the face of the opposition which I have stated to you ; and I believe still more if ere go to Parliament for a Bill to enable us to amalgamate with that company, opposed as we certainly are by a very important section of the North British Company, although a minority—for I am prepared to tell you that section is in a minority—it will be impossible for us to obtain from Parliament the power to amalgamate with the Edinburgh and Perth. In this attempt we will unquestionably have the opposition of a considerable body of our own shareholders to con tend with, backed by other and foßign interests.— (Hear, hear.) Under these circumstances, and looking to the variety of legal difficulties that will arise from various quarters, as I have now stated to you, it is the desire of the directors not to vote for going on with the Edinburgh and Perth scheme so far as they are concerned. Of course we have no right to dictate to that company; but so far as your interests are concerned, if it is your pleasure to concur in the views I hare now stated, the directors of the North British Company will take those measures which present themselves, and of which they will make the best use, to withdraw their suppo r t f rom that company.—(Applause.) Mr. WOTHERSPOON, of Liverpool, intimated his con tinued and determined opposition to the Edinburgh and Perth. They would be opposed by the London and North Western Company, and the whole of the lines now incorporated with that line, extending from London to Carlisle. They would likewise have the opposition of the Caledonian, the Scottish Central, and the Edin burgh and Northern Companies to contend against; and last, but not least, the opposition of a powerful and determined body of their own shareholders, who would not suffer snch a scheme to be carried out in Parlia ment.—(Applause.) lie concluded by moving to the effect that the thanks of the meeting be given to the chairman and directors of the company for the gracious manner in which they had acceded to the expressed wishes of a large body of the shareholders in with drawing their support from the Edinburgh and Perth Company; and that they be instructed to take the most prompt and effectual means to realise the scrip of the Edinburgh and Perth • Company, and that they charge any loss arising therefrom in the accounts for the cur rent half-year. Captain RICE, of York, seconded this. Mr. SPENCE, a. representative, from Birmingham, sup porting. Mr. DEAS, advocate, opposed. The question was simply this—the directors first spent 90,000 Z in buying a railway, and then some demur having arisen about the purchase, the directors agreed to reconsider the matter. This they had accordingly done, and after giving to it the fullest consideration, they had issued a report to the shareholders, recommending that line, saying that they were of the same opinion as they were before, as to its value to the North British Company, and that it ought by all means to be made. Now he must say that the recoinmendation of the directors was to him one of the strongest reasons for going on with that line, because he found that the giving of it up was recommended by par ties who had good reasons for wishing that it should be abandoned, such as the Edinburgh and Northern. He was perfectly petrified, oncoming to the meeting to sup port that report, to find that the directors had turned round and moved its disapproval. This certainly was pertinent to the matter before the meeting. Mr. JAMES AYTOUN, advocate, contended that the cir cumstances with rega r d to the Edinburgh and Perth Railway were entirely changed, and that was the ground on which the directors had come to the determination to abandon the scheme, which was a good scheme at the time they entered upon it. Last year the Edinburgh and Perth line had almost a certainty of passing ; at that time an agreement was made with the Edinburgh and Northern, by which no opposition was to be offered; and at that time also there was a similar agreement with the Scottish Central; all of which circumstances afforded a good reason for the North British entering into the arrangement that they had done. Mr. Aytoun then showed that, as the Edinburgh and Perth Bill had been lost in Parliament, the agreement with the North Bri tish was at an end; and having quoted the authority of Mr. Rutherford to support this argument, he went on to maintain, with regard to the proxies, that the directors had acted in a fair and proper manner in using as they had done those which left the matter to their discretion. Mr. WILLIAMSON, of Kinross, moved approval of the views expressed in the directors' report in regard to the Edinburgh and Perth Railway, and that the directors be instructed to carry these into effect. Mr. DEAS seconded the motion. • After a good deal of discussion, Mr. Williamson at length consented to withdraw his motion, on the condi tion that it should be recorded in the minutes that 2,202 proxies had been received by the directors for going on with the line. The motion of Mr. Wotherspoon was ac cordingly declared to be carried. themselves into the hands of the f n Before The fo They e h T teyse CHAIRMANh na I d A e e T t E p i nau g DISASTERS • d lateTanldE the disaster s R i s n t K e e S T . : as on su th r e l. most eminent engineer in Scotla • l n l d Ne , been e y s nfe misfortunes tr b uo e ns f s e e srye have a i n t d washgar gr e at l y ap o tepl happened e n d e e opened taog to g theer the at e li ne , d . public.uo b u t t hey tmhCertainly,eayy haveh ave seen a letter in the newspapers from the secretary, in forming you of the extent and of the original cost of the bridges which have fallen down.

In answer to a question as to whether General Pasley had given in any report to the directors on the present condition of the line, The Own:ilex said that they had not received any written replrt from that gentleman on the subject. lle was, however, happy to acquaint them that General Pasley had in conversation stated that he was most highly satisfied with the line, and with the new repairs which had been made upon the works. General Pasley believed that they were most substantial, and were most properly done, and he expressed his most complete satis faction with the works now in progress. He (the Chair man) believed that there was no better line in the king dom than the North Britis}, The misfortune they had met Kith had certainly caused them to take very great pains with the line to flawick.

Dunr.m, OCT. 31.—The Nation of this day conteiw 'the following important letter from Mr. Smith O'Brien, ddressed to Mr. Duffy, the proprietor of that journal:- - Cahirmoyle, Oct. 29, 1846. " My dear Mr. D uffy, — Notwithstanding the deep in terest which I felt in the discussions occasioned by the ; recent proceedings of the Repeal Association, I have pur posely abstained, as long as possible, from mingling in She controversy as a partisan, in the hope that I might thereby be enabled to assist in restoring union amongst `the repealers of Ireland. Since, however, the events of each succeeding day appear to interpose new obstacles to 'uch a re-union, Ido not feel myself at liberty any longer pa shrink from an explicit declaration of my opinions with respect to the questions at issue. Forbearance is, indeed, a virtue; but so long as our country continues in bondage, inaction is a crime. We who have devoted our selves to its emancipation are not entitled to rest from fur labours until our mission shall be fulfilled. " I do not think it necessary to repudiate the many absurd imputations which have been cast upon me; but neither have I any desire to shield myself from animad oegreispwaletairttßsilivureat;iaein from such a con tin version by concealing my real sentiments with regard to the rights and duties of Irishmen. In the following ex position of my opinions I am disposed to believe that no inconsiderable portion of my fellow countrymen concur. " We conceive that duty to our country is our highest political obligation, aud that our primary allegiance is due to Ireland. We honour the Queen as our sovereign, riot because she is descended from a race of kings who throughout many centuries wronged and afflicted the Eteople of this land, but because we believe that if our interests and liberties were protected by a national lbgislature, the Irish nation would enjoy happiness and security under her sway. We do reidd n e o pt t he d an e td s e i lo r r e oeol t aoonfsdelvrweerol Ireland wouldseparation be hereafter produced by nnexion between Ireland and th m e a r i e r s it t e o n f aa t o h e e e o m f p th ir a e t . f the British Parlia itsth misgovernment,il 1: Th Parlia ment, I rnne n peen i Yrebe , xi n b fl iei e ouec c invV a ehy u e butt s lho e eesbaos s my u it hthaeahentlablelobedienceaws is bnecessary to the main tenance of social order ; but, remembering that the Act Act of which can tend of Union never received the sanction of the Irish people, u_ W n e io h n ol b d y o p u e r ac se e lv fu e l s and that it was conceived in perfidy and brought forth it crime, we deny the moral right of the British legisla pt e r d e floerogfiot the ea legitimate to procure domestic legislation for Ireland. We desire g to ed in to ak s e p na t ta a n c s h , i b e e v l e iev a in r g ep t e h a a l t such means are more desirable and a l r a e w n s more efficacious than any other ; but we decline to ab jure, under every possible contingency, the right of re sistance which is the last resort of the oppressed--a right inherent in the natives of every country, but especially the inheritance of the subjects of a dynasty which owes its sceptre to a successful effort to achieve political ame liorations by means of the sword. " It is not easy to understand what is the orthodox creed of the Repeal Association ; I confess that I was unable to comprehend the subtle distinctions and con tradictory definitions with which the ' moral force' doc trine has been enunciated ; but I infer from the pro ceedings of the Repeal Association in the case of others, that the foregoing avowal of my opinions disqualifies me from continuing a member of that body. " The regret which I naturally feel upon finding my self excluded from an association with which, under very trying circumstances, I acted, on terms of perfect cor diality, for nearly three years, is greatly diminished when I remember that many of those whose abilities, patriotism, and disinterestedness shed lustre upon that confederacy, and won the admiration even of its oppo nents, have been contumeliously expelled from it. Nor would it have been possible to avoid collisions of opinions upon other questions connected with the policy of the repeal movement. The support given by the associa tion to an anti -repeal Ministry, accompanied, as it has been by open encouragement of the solicitation of patron age, the pursuit of which tends to render repealers the creatures and dependents of the English Government, must have occasioned perpetual remonstrance on the part of those who spurn the blandishments of English cor ruption. Under these circumstances, no practical ad vantage could arise from an attempt to bring together persons who, though professing to seek a common end, yet differ widely as to the means by which it may be attained. It is true, indeed, that the value of a power ful organisation, such as that which the Repeal Associa tion maintained during the years ,1844 and 1845, can scarcely b© too highly appreciated. It embodied the sentiments of millions, and through many ramifications gave strength t o the cause which it sustained. Those, therefore, who have been excluded from the Repeal Association are now deprived of many favourable opprtunities of advancing. the interests of their country. Men who are really in earnest, how ever, create opportunities of action for themselves, and are not the mere slaves of circumstance. It is to be hoped, therefore, that a field for useful exertion in the cause of Ireland will ere long be presented to those who have dedicated themselves to the sacred task of redeem ing; their native land. In the meantime, it is a fortu nate circumstance that your journal offers itself us an org•in through which their voice may be heard. The young men of Ireland —what more cheering denomina tion could they covet than that of " Yonng Ireland ?" the legion of arde n t and accomlished men who proudly accept this title, m a y, b y yours instrumentality, be en abled to train th e i r f e ll ow-countrymen to th a t intel lectual and moral di sc i p li ne wh i ch b est fi ts men for fre and, in so t ra i n i ng others, w ill di sc ipline ti iem sell ei to become th e l ea d ers o f a peace f u l revolution— the guides of an emancipated people. " I do not hesit a t e to b e li eve t h a t you will gladly place an assigned p ort i on o f your j ourna l at the disposal of those who are q ua lifi e d to prepare their countrymeni for liberty, and who are not ashamed to avow, by the In reference to the North British, General Pasley, he believed, almost authorised him to say that he was ex tremely well pleased with the line, such as it was, and that he had only one fault to find along the whole line. His report would be published in the newspapers so soon as it was given in. RUMOURED OFFERS OF LEASE. A Shareholder asked if there was any truth in the re port as to an offer to lease the North British ? The CHAIRMAN felt great pleasure in answering the question. At the York meeting, which had lately taken place, suggestions had been made for amalgamating with the North British line. These suggestions had not been put into any shape whatever. The subject had been discussed at York, and Mr. Hudson had expressed his readiness to enter into terms with this company. No terms had yet been proposed to them. Some gentlemen had come from York with the view of having some dis cussion about the subject; but the matter was not in any sbape in which the directors could give any opinion. The shareholders might depend upon it that the matter would be seriously considered in its present aspect by the directors, who would give a dispassionate opinion with out reference to themselves at all. He might further mention that this was not the only approach that had been made to the North British Company, and therefore they were in a better position than they were probably aware of. There was more than one bidder for the company.—(Applause.) The directors would do nothing in the matter without having the full consent and appro bation of the shareholders. He hoped that in any com munication they might have with the York and Newcas tle Company, the directors would get the approbation of the shareholders for whatever they might advise them to consent to.

THE QUEEN'S APPROBATION OF THE LORD MAYOR FOR THE ENSUING YEAR. • Yesterday the Lord Mayor elecrwent to the resi dence of the Lord Chancellor, to receive her Majesty's most gracious approbation on being elected Lord Mayor for the ensuing year. The Lord Mayor was accompa nied by the Recorder, and Aldermen Hooper, Hunter, and Moon, and attended by the Sheriffs, the Remem brancer, &c. &c. The RECORDER, in introducing the Lord Mayor to the Lord Chancellor, said—" My Lord, I have the honour to present to your Lordship Sir George Carroll, Knight, recently elected by the Citizens of London into the office of Lord Mayor for the ensuing year. " The laws and charters of London have been strictly observed in the election of this gentleman, and it is in accordance with the custom prescribed by the charter that I have now the honour to solicit, at the hands of your Lordship, the gracious approbation of the Crown of the choice the citizens have made. " The Lord Mayor elect, as a member of the Stock Exchange, was for more th an t hi rty years engaged in extensive financial operations with the leading capi talists of the city, and enjoyed a w e ll- earne d re p u t a ti on for undeviatin g integrity in all his dealings. " After a close attention for so many years, Mr. Carroll proposed to himself to retire from the more active scenes of life, and to confine the discharge of his public duties to the requirements of his office as a magistrate for the county of Essex, where he had long resided, was exten sively known and universally respected. But the opinion and earnest solicitation of his friends prevailed with him to change his purposes, and in 1837 drew him from a temporary retirement to undertake the office of Sheriff of London and Middlesex. This being the year of her Majesty's accession to the throne, her Majesty, on the 9th of November, vouohsafcd to become a guest of the Corporation of London, and to adorn, by her royal presence, the banquet prepared in the Guildhall. The honour of knighthood was on that occasion con ferred upon the Sheriffs, the present Lord Mayor elect, and Sir Moses Montefiore, since created a Baronet. In 1839 Sir George Carroll was unanimously elected by the inhabitant householders of the ward of Candlewick to represent them as an Alderman of London, and by his accession to this new dignity he perfected the legal qualifications of a candidate for the office of Lord Mayor. " As a Justice in the Commission of the Peace for the county of Essex, in the office of Sheriff of London and Middlesex, and as a Magistrate of the City, and Alder man of his ward, Sir George Carroll has uniformly evinced his sense of loyalty to the throne, and a zealous regard for the maintenance of the laws, together with the liberties and franchises of his felle4rusubjects. To these qualities are superadded the claims of a blameless life, and the evidence of a kind and courteous disposition, in a constant urbanity of demeanour, which, whilst it derogates nothing from authority, conciliates opinion in enforcing the law. My l or d, on these grounds the citizens of London cherish the hope—l might be excused, perhaps, the ex pression, if I added the confident expectation—that her Majesty will be graciously pleased to approve of and confirm the advancement of this gentleman, a tried and faithful servant of the Crown and of the Corporation, to `t the highest station and employment of trust and dignity which our city can bestow —that of our Chief Magistrate, and of her Majesty's Lieutenant within the City." The LORD CHANCELLOR said he felt high gratification in announcing her Majesty's most gracious approbation of the choice made by the citizens of London of Sir George Carroll, as Lord Mayor for the year ensuing. '['he highly _esteemed character of Sir George Carroll, the knowledge possessed by his fellow-citizens of his qualification for office, and his zeal and activity s a ma gistrate, are convi nc i ng arguments of his efficiency ft ; and he honestly believed, in his hands, the dignit of the dis tinguished offi ce would be unimpaired. y COMMENCEMENT OF IVIICHAELMAS TEnm.--Yester day, Westminster -hall, and the avenues which lead to it, by mid-day evinced unmistakeable signs that the inter regnum of the long vacation had passed away, and that the ancient hall of the various courts that abut from it was about to wear again its wonted as pect. Cabs, containing gentlemen " learned in the law," followed each other in rapid succession to the rendezvous of law, and clerks and cads loaded with legal paraphernalia trotted also in shoals in the same direction. Bustle and animation appeared everywhere. The very officials of the courts, and the various ticket porters and hangers-on seemed to have brushed off the rust of the past and looked fresher than ever, but the counsel, especially those who have something to do, expressed their joy in smiles and jokes. Even the writ-servers, almost frozen out by the long vacation, looked happy—regretfully on the past, but trustingly on the future. The entrance to the hall, and the hall itself, were lined by respectably dressed ladies and gentlemen, anxious to obtain a sight of the judges us they passed on to their respective courts. They arrived at the Ball at half-past one o'clock, the- Lord Chief Justice and the Equity Judges going into the Lord Chancellor's Court, and the Common Law Judges making their way, headed by Lord Denman, into the Court of Common Pleas. They shortly afterwards separated to their respective courts. They were attired in their full robes, and all looked remarkably well. All the courts presented an array of counsel, the senior counsel being in full dress, and respectably dressed persons, many of whom were ladies. DISTRESSING ACCIDENT.—A S some young men were fishing for whiting on Monday afternoon in Thornis Bay, near where the steamers were ashore, one of the party got on the mast-head of the boat to reef the sail, while another was getting in the anchor, when the boat upset. Three were saved by the other boats in the lily, but the fourth, Samuel Dawson, a son of Mr. Daw son, butcher, was drowned. He was a particularly steady youth, and so much respected for his civility and attention to business, that the whOle town laments his untimely end. MANCHESTER, NOVEMBER 2.
