CALEDONIAN (MID-L 0 TEXAN SEANCE (Continued from our Afternoon Edition.) Mr. Andrews and other counsel appeared for the pro moters of this line, and Mr. Sergeaat Murphy for Mr. Holds worth, a petitioning landowner. Mr. ANDREWS stated the case for the promoters, and then proceeded to call witnesses on the part of the promoters. Room B. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition.) The Committee then proceeded with the GLASGOW TERMINI AND 31111AWCILMIS. Mr. Swurr—Oh, my Learned Friend Mr. Austin always says that everything has been " settled a few days ago." Mr. AUSTIN—Mr. Swift, I tell you the point has been settled a few oflys ago, with a reference to the opinion of Lora Shaftesbury. The CHAIRMAN—I think it will cost more time to hear the argument than to admit the locus standi. Mr. Austin accordingly gave way. Mr. Errington's examination and cross-examination being concluded, several other witnesses were called and examined, who gave evidence in support of that given yesterday, on general points. Room C. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition.) Their Lordships were occupied the greater part of the morning with a discussion as to the propriety of inserting a clause, proposed by the opposing company, as to the nature in which the junction should be formed. The Committee (after clearing the room on this point) refused to admit this clause, but expressed their decided opinion that a clause to render the junction more convenient ought to be inserted. They would leave it to the engineers ;end surveyors of the companies to arrange the matter between them They were determined upon inserting a clause. Several witnesses were then called, and gave evidence in corroboration of that given yesterday, which was reported with sufficient fulness in The Sun. Room 5. atrczczNallAsesuntz (TIRING TO 311a.N. BUSY). The Committee on the above Bill met, to take into con sideration the points on which it had been re-committed, in igoom 5 (Committee -rooms in Abingdon-street). Lord Stanley took the chair as usual. There was no opposition; and, after the adjustment of some of the clauses, the Committee passed the Bill in its amended form, and then rose finally. HOUSE OF COMMONS. GROUP Xvii. ImPORTAN T DECISION. MANO3IIIIBTHH AHD SOUTHAMPTON AND souT3l-larmaymur (MOMSEY AND _ _ 'MIDGE 33WeCE). The Committee met tli.; morning shortly after twelve o'clock ; present, the Hon. E. "Yorke, the Hon. Mr. Tollemache, Sir Walter James, Mr. Brocklehurst, and Mr. Kerr. The CHAIRMAN ordered the room to be cleared, and the Committee remained in deliberation until a quarter put three o'clock, when the parties and the public were admitted. The CHAIRMAN said Phe Committee have to announce to the parties, that the preamble of the Romsey and Redbridge Branch is not proved, and that the preamble of the Man chester and Southampton Bill is proved. But the Committee insist on the insertion of a clause, providing that the line between Romsey and Redbridge shall be common to both the South-Western and the lianchester and Southampton CompanY• with equal participation i n th e a d van t ages result ing from the station at nomsey and the line south of Rom ney, and the use of the terminus of the M anc h es t er an d Seathampton line and the tramways along the quays to the docks. The Committee then proceeded to go through the clauses of the Bill. ROUP XXXI!. The Committee upo G n this group re l as3embled at half-past onp o'clock this day, in Room No. 24 (Grand Corridor), Sir R. Ferguson in the chair, for the re-committal of the 211ZAIKINGILA1t AND OXFORD JUNCTXON Bat ; pursuant to a resolution of the House yesterday. 'rho clauses for which the Bill had been re-committed were tinder consideration the whole of the morning. GROUP LXL The Committee met to-day, at twelve o'clock, in Room No 26 (Grand Corridor) , Sir John Duckworth i n the ch air, and proceeded with the coLaideration of the ' ZDINZIIISCGIE AND GLASGOW UNION CANAL. The preamble of this Bill having been agreed to yester day, the Committee was occupied the whole of the morning in going through the clauses. GROUP LXIII. ----- - The Committee met this morning at twelve o'clock, Mr. Tatton Egerton in the chair, to go through the clause., of the NZWILY, W .ILII 3 LEXPO2ITT, AND : 110118 TILISVOIL Bill. Considerable opposition was offered to the line by Mr Hall, Across whose pleasure -grounds the line is partially to pass. Several witnesses were called to show the injury that would be done to the prop erty , and th e propr i ety of putting in a clause compelling t he company to donate so as to save Mr. Hall's grounds by encroaching on the N ewr y river. It was brought out, in evidence, that Mr. Hall bad promoted a line almost similar to the present in 1836. The room was now ordered to be cleared. 'rho CumaxaN informed parties, on their re-admission, that the Committee had rejected the clause tendered by Mr. Lowndes, counsel for Mr. Hall. They thought the company should be bound to construct the Parliamentary line s and were of opinion, that persons placed as Mr. Hall was, should be handsomely compensated by the company. Other clauses were then read, and after some amendments agreed to. This closed the labours of the Committee. STANDING ORDERS' COMMITTEES. HOUSE OF LORDS. Their Lordships met, at twelve o'clock, in Room 1 (House of Lords), Lord Shaftesbury in the chair, and present, Lords Redesdale, Winchester, and Hawarden. There were but three Bills on the list, each of which had been adjourned from yesterday. LONDON AND BIRMINGHAM (COVENTRY TO NUNEATON). Their Lordships having heard the remaining evidence, de cided that the promoters of this Bill had proved compliance with the standing orders. NORTH WALES. The Committee made a similar decision in tbis case. COVENTRY, NUNEATON, BIRMINGHAM, AND LEICESTER. Compliance with the standing orders was also proved in this case. At one o'clock their Lordships resolved themselves into a SELECT COMMMITTEE ON MERITS, in which capacity they proceeded with the further hearing of Doctor MacFarlane's (Glasgow College) Estate Bill, which had repeatedly been adjourned from day to day, each time engrossing a lion's share of the Committee's time and attention. It was the only Bill on the list. SECONDARIES'.--(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Secondary PorrEa.) BARLOW r:BROWII-RESPONSIBILITIES OF EXECUTORS. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, who is a clerk in the London and County Joint-stock Bank, at Bishop's Stortford, against the defendant, who resides at Manchester, to recover tho sum of 61. 175. 6d. for money had and received to and for the use of the plaintiff, under peculiar circum stances. It appeared, from the evidence, that the plaintiff and others were entitled to shares in a legacy left by a Mr. Grantham, of Hind, near Wigan. A blr. Oddy was appointed one of the executors, but3Ehe being, from some unexplained cause, unable to attend to the duties of the office, spoke to his son-in-law to carry out the object of the testator. It further appeared that the defendant didl:so, and the question now arose whe ther he had any claim against the legatees in obtaining evidence of their rights. It was contended by Mr. PETERSDORFF that the executor was bound to make all those inquiries at the cost of the estate, and that he could not delegate his duty to an agent, so as to render the legatees liable to the agent. The SECONDARY was of the same opinion, but a verdict was taken for the plaintiff on the point of law. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS, July 7. Their Lordships met at Five o'clock. MESSAGE FROM THE HOUSE OF COMMONS. Messengers from the House of Commons brought up Several Bills, which were ordered to be laid on the table. TILE LAW RELATING TO LUNACY. Lord REDESDALE presented a petition from the Alleged Lunatics' Friend Society, prayingfor improvement in the law relating to insane persons. SITES OF CHURCHES. Lord BROUGHAM preFented a petition from several members of the Scotch Free Church, praying that facilities night be given for the granting of sites fer the building of churches in connexion with that communion. JUVENILE OFFENDERS BILL. The Marquis of WESTMINSTER postponed the second reading of this Bill till Thursday next. • The Earl of ZETLAND presented the report from the Select Committee on the Caledonian Railway (Midlothian branch). Lord RIVERS brought up the report of the Select Com mittee on the Axholme, Gainsborough, Goole, and York and North Midland Junction Railway Bill. EXETER AND YEOVIL, AND PLYMOUTH RAILWAYS. Lord VIVIAN moved that 'it be an instruction to the Committee of Classification of Railways to refer the Exeter andYeevil and the Plymouth Railway Bills to the same Select Committee. The Earl of DEVON did not see any necessity for the motion of the Noble Lord, and he did not consider that the circumstances of the case required any such grouping. He considered the proposition quite novel, and that the ordinary proceedings with regard to railway Bills should not be departed from. the Earl of ELLENBOROUGH thought that the ar rangement as to the railway Bills should be left entirely to the Committee of Classification. _ _ Lord PORTMAN thought that the Noble Lord (Vivian) should withdraw his motion, and leave the grouping of these Bills to the ordinary course. After a few words from Lord REDESDALE, who re marked that Committees very often, in their good nature, sanctioned schemes which were not always the best the dis trict would afford, Lord BROUGHAM said their system of railway legisla tion ought to be revised and some more efficacious and settled principles established than those which now existed for the guidance of Committees. After a few words from one or two other Noble Lords, Lord VIVIAN withdrew his motion, and the Bill was read a second time and ordered to be committed. THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENINT4, JULY 8, 18464 SELECT COMMITTEES. The Duke of RICHMOND said he wished to say a few words on the subject of Select Committees. Although there was an immense number of Bills before their Lordships, they had only been able to get three Committees together. Now Noble Lords were exempt from serving on juries, in consequence of the duties they had to perform in that House, and he hoped, after this notice, they would come down to attend to the business of the country. The Earl of CLARENDON was glad the Noble Duke had called attention to this subject. It was a crying evil, and they ought to be much obliged to the Noble Duke for the exertions he had made to provide Committees. If Noble Lords did not think proper to attend after that notice, it would be absolutely necessary to pass a resolution to com pel them to do so.--(Hear, hear.) Lord HATHERTON was connected with some of the railways in the centre of England, and he could positively state that out of doors there existed a feeling of great dis satisfaction as to the slow progress their Lordships made in the appointment of Railway Committees. — (Hear.) Lord REDESDALE denied that the public bad any cause to complain of the House having neglected its business, for he be lieved not a Bill had come up from the other House this ses sion which had not had a Committee appointed on it within a week afterwards.—(Hear, hear.) The fact was, the blame in most cases rested with the agents who had charge of the Bills, and not with the House.— ( Hear, bear.) Lord HATHERTON admitted that in a few instances that might be the case, but still the feeling in the country was that most of the blame rested with the House. Many Bills would come up in a few days, and if they were not got through this year, of course the House would have to make them remanets for next.—(Hear, hear.) SHEFFIELD AND EAST LINCOLNSHIRE RAILWAY. After an irregular discussion on the motion of the Duke of Beaufort, the third reading of this Bill was postponed till Thursday week. Several Bills were advanced a stage, and the House ad journed, at half-past six o'clock, till Thursday. HOUSE OF COMMONS, July 7. NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE AND CARLISLE BRANCH RAILWAY. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) Mr. BRAMSTON, as Chairman of the Committee to whom the Bill was referred, felt himself bound to oppose the amendment. Mr. HUDSON protested that the amendment had been urged upon the Honourable Mover of it by a com pany who had been promoting a competing line, and he therefore trusted the House would not agree to it.--(Hear, hear.) Besides, there were the established tribunals, who, he was sure, would afford every protection to the trustees; and he hoped, as the measure was so strongly supported in the country, the House would not sanction the delay.—(Hear.) Mr. BARING said he hoped his Hon. Friend would not press his motion.—(Hear, hear.) If the parties had been at all injured they should have made a representation to that effect to the Committee to whom the Bill had been referred. —(Hear.) Even if it were found desirable that the Attor ney-General should interfere in this matter, he would of course have a full opportunity of doing so whilst the Bill was in progress in the other House. Mr. SMITH consented, after the explanations he had heard, to withdraw his motion. _ . The Bill was then read a third time and passed. MANCHESTER AND LEEDS RAILWAY EXTENSION, AND OLDHAM, MANCHESTER, AND BIRKEN HEAD JUNCTION. On the motion of Mr. JOHN FIELDEN, the reports on the Manchester and Leeds Railway Extension and the Old • ham, Manchester, and Birkenhead Junction Railways Bills were considered and approved of. Mr. GREENE gave notice of his intention, on Friday, to move that the Standing Orders Nos. 121 and 122, re quiring amendments proposed on the report, or third reading of a Bill, to be referred to the Select Committee on Standing Orders, be to the end of the present session suspended. Lord GRANVILLE SOMERSET opposed the motion. The House divided, and, after the lapse of about ten minutes, on our re-admission to the gallery, we found Mr. GREENE upon his legs, stator g that he would con sent to withdraw the motion, but intlinatmg that he would renew it on some future day. DUBLIN, BELFAST, AND COLERAINE JUNCTION , RAILWAY BILL. This Bill was read a second time. HOWELL'S CHARITY ESTATE BILL. This Bill was also read a second time. GALWAY AND - KILKENNY RAILWAY BILL.

The House then adjougi4 till TWAIY9 o'clock on Thursday next. RAILWAY COMMITTEES (YESTERDAY) HOUSE OF COMMONS. GROUP XVII. Itr.ANCHESTER AND SOUTHAMPTON, AND SOUTH-WESTERN (ROMSEY AND RED BRIDGE BRANCH). Mr. HILL, (in continuation from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday) referred at great length to other matters in con nexion with the railway communication of the district, pro posed to be traversed by the line, and to figures, to show that neither the line to Andover, nor the other portion, could be made in the time stated on account of the small amount of capital which the promoters proposed to call, he concluded by imploring the Committee to reject the preamble of the Bill, on the ground that the traffic did not justify its construction, and that the wants of the district would be fully met by the lines sanctioned by Parliament. The address of the Learned Gentleman occupied nearly five hours and a half. The Committee then adjourned until twelve to-morrow. STANDING ORDERS' COMMITTEE. HOUSE OF LORDS. Their Lordships met at the usual hour this morning, in Room No. 1 (House of Lords). Lord Shaftesbury took the chair as usual. The list contained ten Bills (including four which had been adjourned from yesterday). All but one were railway Bills. COVENTRY, NUNEATON, BIRMINGHAM, AND LEICESTER. The Committee declared the standing orders complied with in this case. LONDON AND BIRMINGHAM (COVENTRY TO NUNEATON). LONDON AND BIRMINGHAM (WEEDON AND NORTHAMPTON BRANCH). Both postponed till to-morrow. NORTH WALES. • This case also stood over till to-morrow. SHROPSHIRE UNION RAILWAY AND CANAL (NEWTOWN TO CREWE). Also postponed till to-morrow. ARMAGH, COLERAINE, and PORT RUSH RAILWAY COMPANY. An adjourned meeting of some of the shareholders in this company took place yesterday, at the offices of Mr. Phillips, a solicitor, in Lawrence Pountney-lane, for the purpose of considering what measures it would be best to pursue, in order to compel the directors to wind up the company, and to repay the whole of the deposits. Mr. Carter took the chair. A lengthened discussion arose as to the impropriety of the directors having amalgamated with the Dublin, Belfast, and Coleraine Company without having obtained the sanction of the shareholders. It was urged by Mr. Phillips that the shareholders had a perfect right, in consequence of the Com pany having acted in such a manner, to compel the whole of the capital paid up by way of deposit to be returned. Several shareholders considered that the course adopted by one or two of their body was exceedingly improper. There had been no attempt to ask the directors in a proper manner to give them the requisite information. Mr. Sxratouß moved a resolution to the effect that the Company be wound up as soon as Tiossible, and that mea sures should be taken to obtain the whole amount of shares. Mr. HOOPER seconded the resolution. After a long desultory discussion, Mr. GALT, the secretary of the Company, on behalf of the directors, promised that a regular meeting of the Company would take place in due course of time, and the meeting ad • journed to the 15th of August. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the London New Price Current of July 7.) SEGAR.—To-day the market presented a tranquil appear ance for all descriptions of Sugar subject to the 14s per cwt duty, and prices are still going down, although there is not a large quantity on offer. REFINED.—To.day there was scarcely any demand for Refined Sugar for home consumption, although brown lumps according to quality could be obtained at 67s to 68s, and standard lumps at 68s 6d to 693 per cwt. Bonded Crushed Sugar is wanted, and former advanced rates are well sup ported. DIAURITICS.—Importers still refrain from offering any at public sale, although there are further arrivals, and the bu siness transacted by private treaty has been extremely l►mited although there are sellers upon lower terms. EAST INDIA.—The business transacted in all kinds of Ben gal privately has been trifling, although merchants are wil ling to make some concession in prices. None has been of fered at auction, but there are further arrivals. Madras is dull of sale, and can be purchased upon lower terms. FOREIGN.—To-day there was no public sale of Foreign Sugar; privately several inquiries existed for near ports, the Baltic, and on speculation ; but business was checked by further advanced rates being required. Two cargoes Porto Rico sold at 22s 6d, and one of yellow Havannah at 243 4 per cwt. COFFEE.—This afternoon there was no public sale of any kind of Coffee, but large parcels of Ceyion and Mocha are declared. There was less business transacted privately, but good ordinary pale Ceylon was not to be obtained under 42s per cwt. TEA.—The better descriptions of Congou have been pur chased with caution, but the offers made at lower rates are rejected. Pouchong is firm in price and is wanted. Green Tea not being pressed for sale, prices do not give way, but there has been little business transacted. Cocoa.—For Foreign reduced rates have been submitted to, but at auction 204 bags of Bahia were all sold at 32s to 33s per cwt for good to fine red ; there is a large quantity on offer - privately. The market for West India has a dud ap pearance, and prices are drooping. SPICE.9.—To-day Malabar Pepper was purchased with caution, and 1,100 bags at auction were only in part sold at the former value. Of Nutmegs 7 casks were all withdrawn. The quarterly sales of Cinnamon are fixed for the 27th ; at present only 134 bales are declared. SPlarrs.—To-day several parcels of Leeward Island Rum were sold at 2s 3d, and Calcutta a fair business was trans acted at la Ild to 2s proof with certificate. Demerara was in brisker demand. Fine Jamaica was more in demand, but the lower sorts are dull of sale. HOPS.—In consequence of further reduced rates having been submitted to for all kinds, buyers have been induced to operate with more freedom, and several parcels were disposed of. The duty for the kingdom is estimated at 130,0001. to 140,0001., and the Worcester duty at 15,000/. The accounts come to hand from the plantations are in every respect highly satisfact')ry. BicE. —To-day Bengal Rice was much wanted, but the stiff rates asked checked business: at public sale 15,225 bags and 1,983 pkts were offered : at one sale of 7,541 bags the whole was taken in above their value. Saurre.-raF..—To-day rough met with attention, and 1,292 bags at auction went at stiffer rates for Calcutta—fair chrystal good grey to 311 per cent. refraction selling at 27s to 27s 6d, but the Madras was taken in 6d above the value—middling grey 141 to 134 per cent at 25s per cwt. INDlGO.—Holders of East India are not inclined to take lower rates, although the quantity declared for public com petition on Tuesday next is large, amounting to 15,898 chests, but there has been little desire evinced by exporters or the home trade to purchase any kind. COCHINEAL —This afternoon Cochineal met with little at tention, and 60 bags Honduras at auction only in part sold at former rates. TALLOW.—Russian on the spot has been purchased with much caution, and 41s 6d to 42s per cwt is the value of fine P.Y. Candle. There are sellers for delivery in the last three months of the year at 41s to 41s 6d, duty paid, but few buyers are to be met with. The demand for Town Tallow has been very good for present delivery at 393 6d to 40s nett cash. In other descriptions little has been done. . _ Oias—The demand has fallen off for Southern Oil—a fur ther fall in the value has ensued. There are sellers of Cod upon lower terms; still the demand has been limited For Seal advanced prices are insisted upon, but the trade have been cautious in their proceedings. For Sperm the market has a quiet aypearnce, and prices have a downward tendency. Of Ground Nut Oil 10 hhds at auction were sold at 39s to 40s per cwt. For Linseed Oil prices have further given way, but the demand on the spot has been very good, and for forward delivery several contracts have been entered into at 24s 3d to 24s 6d, but for exportation scarcely any purchases have been made. Rape Seed Oil is offered upon further reduced terms; still few buyers are to be met with. For Olive the demand has been limited, al though Gallipoli can be obtained at 371 10s to 38/. Cocoa Nut is wanted, and prices rule firm. In Palm several purchases have been made. RAILWAY SIGIALs.--Mr. Gregory, the engineer of the Croydon Railway, has erected a set of signals at the junction of the Bricklayers' Arms Branch, which are simple arid intelligible. They consist of two semaphores, which are worked by the feet of the attendant, whose hands are left free to work the switches, the handles of which are con veniently placed for that purpose. In the absence of the attendant no - trains will pass, as the signals are so contrived that they will then indicate "danger" and " stop.' It would be imprudent, we think, to lay too much stress upon this last peculiarity, since there would be nothing to prevent a man, when he had reason to expect the approach of a par ticular train from fixing the handles in the particular posi• tiou suitable for that train, and then absenting himself for a time. The main security must lie in a vigilant supervision, a well-arranged system of management, and the employment of steady and trustworthy men. If automatic signals and similar contrivances be used as auxiliaries, they will prove very useful; if intended to dispense with the more important requisites, they will only lead to a fallacious dependance and to inevitable disaster.—Patent Journal. Romronn.—SETTING FIRE TO A PRlSON.—Patrick Conner a private of the 11th Regiment of Foot, a deserter from his regiment (now in the East Indies), when on his way to the depot stationed at Chatham, was lodged in the prison of the Liberty of Romfird, on Saturday morning last, for the day and night. About the hour of six o'clock in the evening, fire and smoke were seen issuing from the cell where he was confined. Upon entering it, there was a dense body of smoke, and part of the bed and clothes were on fire. A supply of water was procured, and the fire extinguished. Mr. Southey, the gaoler, was much alarmed for the safety of the premises. The prisoner will, no doubt, be committed to the Assizes to await his trial for the offence.--Ipswich Express THE HARVEST.—The state of the pea crop has in duced many growers to hook them before they had become quite ripe, in order to rescue the small produce they are likely to yield from the ravages of the louse; and the beans do not bear a more promising appearance. Much wheat will be ready for the sickle by the latter end of the present week, and 'although thin in many places, it promises a fair average crop. Barley, this year, is later than usual, the crop varies much, but oats are past recovery, and will be short in straw and in produce.—Essex Herald. THE WEATHER, &c.—flay cutting commenced in this district since our last, and will turn out a good return, unless there be too much moisture for regular drying, of which there are at present some indications. During the week there have been copious showers and a good deal of warmth, by which the crops have greatly benefitted. While we have written so favourably as to the hay crop, we should add that there is a great deficiency in the clover generally, and that the rye-grass is more abundant. The turnips look well, and there is every appearance of a capital crop; but they have not as yet arrived at the critical time of the attack of the grub. Potatoes are exceedingly good, and we hear of no failure in this locality, in which a great breadth has been planted.—floss-shire Advertiser.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER, July 7. (Nisi Prius Sittings at Guildhall, before Chief Baron Pot,- LOCK and Special. Juries.) BANKS V. HILL This was an action by an advertising agent, carrying on buinees at Wellington-street, in the Strand, to recover from Charles Popham Hill, the defendant, who resides in Devon shire, a balance of about 1001., for advertisements of the prospectus of the Salisbury and Leamington Railway Com pany, inserted in forty - three different newspapers, between the. 25th and 29th October last. The facts connected with this project were brought before the public in a case of "Banks v. Goode," tried some ten days ago at Westminster Hall, when the verdict was taken for the defendant. In the preser.t case it appeared that the defendant authorised his name to be inserted in "the direc tion," through a Mr. Downes, on the 20th October, and his name accordingly was published in a prospectus dated the 25th October. The defendant never attended any meeting of the committee, or acted in any manner; but on the 7th November it was agreed to abandon the project for the present session, and the defendant, in answer to a letter from the secretary, wrote to say, that if the other members of the committee subscribed their pro portions to defray the bond fide preliminary expenses, he should willingly do the same. The debt in respect of which this action was brought was incurred under the express orders of Messrs. Weall dnd Berkeley, the solicitors of the company, and who had taken an active part in establishing it ; having, as it appeared, given indemnities to several re spectable persons, who had therefore allowed their names to be inserted as provisional committeemen. It was now con tended that the credit was given in this instance, not to the defendant, or even to the whole hody of provisional comsnit• teemen, but to the solicitors, Weall and Berkeley, as proved by the fact that the:r had inserted advertisements, through the instrumentality of the plaintiff, before any provisional committee was appointed. The CIIIEF BARON left it to the jury to say if they be lieved the defendant had authorised his name to be in serted as a committeeman, so as to pledge his credit for preliminary expenses; and also whether the plaintiff; in in serting those advertisements, acted upon the credit and re eponsibility of the defendant. If they found either of those questions in the negative, their verdict should be for the de fendant. The jury, after an hour's deliberation, returned a verdict for the defendant. WILD V. ROPKLNS. Mr. MARTIN, with whom was Mr. Wallis, for the plaintiff, stated that this was an action brought by the well-known map-seller at Charing-cross, to recover from the detendunt, Mr. Douglas Hopkins, otse of the provisional committeemen of the Peterborough and Nottingham Railway, the balance of a bill of 1,9001. fin. engraving maps and plans for the 113 C of the company. The defendant had given a written autho rity to one of the promoters of the line, to insert his name in the provisional committee, and the letter having been handed to Mr. Gridley, one of the solicitors of the company, the defendant's name was printed in a prospectus with several others, which prospectus was shown to the plaintiff at the time the orders were given to him to execute the work in question. Thu plaintiff did the engraving for the com pany, upon the faith that the persons named in the pro spectus were liable to him, and there was no doubt that those who had authorised the insertion of their names were liable. The company was not proceeded with, because a sufficient sum of money had not been subscribed, but several of the provisional committee, feeling their liability, had sub scribed to pay proportionate shares to defray preliminary expenses. In this way 1,0001. had been paid to the plaintiff. The defendant was one of those who declined to meet his fair share of the responsibility accruing to a provisional commit teeman, and this action was brought against him to compel hint to bear his share in common with others. It appeared upon the examination of Mr. Gridley, one of the solicitors of the proposed company, that the pro spectus containing the defendant's name was shown to the plaintiff when the orders were given for the execution of the maps, plans, and sections. The witness also stated, on cross-examination, that there was a managing com mittee appointed, but that the defendant was not one cf that body. Mr. WATSON, for the defendant, contended that his client, who had taken no part in the management of the company, was not liable, more especially as there was a managing committee appointed, under whose authority the order was given and the work executed. The Learned Counsel re ferred particularly to the case of Low v. Wilson, tried last term, in which Baron Parke was reported to have laid it down that a provisional committeeman, who did not inter fere, could not be held liable for merely lending his name where there was a managing committee. The Loan CIIIEF Banos thought the question in this, as in other cases of the same nature was,—did the defendant, by sanctioning the publication of his name as one of the provisional committee, hold himself out to the plaintiff as a perAin pledging his credit as liable to the reason able and bond fide preliminary expenses of the company? It would be difficult to say in this case that the mere fact of there being a managing ct.mmittee should exempt the defendant from responsibility. A managing committee was often nothing more than a body of persons selected by and from the provisional committee, as persons who were more likely to be able to give their personal at tention to the business of the company. It would not be fair to say the members thus selected should be exclusively liable for all preliminary expenses. But in this case there was another important fact A prospectus was shown to the plaintiff when the order was given for the work, in which the defendant's name appeared as provisional committeeman, but nothing was sa id i n th a t prospect u s o f a manag i ng com mittee. In nearly all these cases there were expenses before any managing committee was appointed, and the question would be who was to be liable for those expenses if the pro visional committee was not. In this case the only question was, whether the defendant held himself out as liable for preliminary expenses by authorising the insertion of his name as a committeeman. The jury, without a moment's hesitation, returned a ver dict for the plaintiff— Damages 7571. 31. 9d, Mr. MARTIN stated, after the verdict had beet recorded, that if the defendant paid his quota of the expenses, as others of the committee had done, the judgment against hint on this verdict would not be put in force. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT OLD COURT. (Before the COMMON SERGEANT and Alderman W. II uNTEa.) George IVitiant Draper, 23, a Young man of respectable appearance, lately a clerk in her Majesty's Stationary-office, was indicted for uttering a forged cheque for 54 with intent to defraud. .Ar. Doane conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Clarkson defended the prisoner. The charge was clearly made out against the prisoner. He produced the cheque in question to a person named Wells, and asked him to give him change for it, and he did so; but upon the cheque being presented at Messrs. Currie, the bankers, it turned out to be a forgery. Mr. CLanKsoN, on behalf of the prisoner, said he could not hope to escape a conviction, from the evidence that had been proved against him, ani he could only urge in mitigation, that the prisoner is a very young man, and that he had held a respectable situation in the Stationary -office of her Majesty, but in a moment of thoughtlessness he absented himselt from going to Epsom races, and for ultimately lost his appointment, and s this and no charge had ever offence. He had previou s ly tt this borneihh office f aeew most then suspended, the committed purpose excellent a en dacter, of been made against him until this time. The jury returned a verdict of Guilty, and the prisoner was sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment, and hard labour. Ferdinand Weiginer, 21, a German, was indicted for steal ing 477 fitch skins, and 731 squirrel tails, value 50/., the pro perty of Adam Joseph Gayer; and Lemon Cohen, a Jew, was indicted for feloniously inciting and procuring the other prisoner to commit the robbery. Mr. Clarkson conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Milan tine defended the prisoner Cohen. It appeared from the evidence, that the prosecutor resides in Liquorpond-street, where he carries on the employment of what is called in the fur trade a chamber master, his occu pation being to make up the different skins for wh , lesale houses, and several persons were in his employ for that pur pose, among whom was the prisoner Weiginer. On the 22d of June Mr. Gayer received a letter, which afterwards turned out ui i s to out and be of which n he was handwriting a come to a place near Balham-hill t o r e ce ive a parcel of evidentlysent for the purpose of getting soon after he was gone Weiginer him i th t e w, , f overy ry of Weiginer, requesting him to made young woman, who was also in Mr. Gayer's an excuseservice,to g to leave eta the house, and he then packed up a large quantity of furs, and took them away in a cab. In consequence, however, of some information that had been received, he was pursued, and taken into custody, and the who'.e of the property was recovered. With respect to the other prisoner, it was shown that he was in communication with Weiginer, and on the Sunday before the robbery was committed he went to a person in the fur trade, named Houghton, and told him that he would get him a quantity of skins on the fol lowing day that were worth 501. or 601. for 161. or 181.; but he said he should expect 51. for himself out of the transaction. Houghton, it appeared, pretended to enter into the transaction, and made an appointment for the next day, and he then immediately gave the information which led to the d.-tection of the other prisoner in the way stated. The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty against both pri soners. The COMMON SERGEANT inquired if anything was known of Cuhen's character independent of this transaction. A person got into the witness box, and said he had no doubt that Cohen had for a long time been the occasion of extensive plunder being practised upon the chamber masters in the fur trade, by inciting their servants to rob them. He had himself prosecuted him severel years ago, and just as the case was coining on the prisoner's friends contrived by a stratagem to get the witnesses out of the way, and Mr. Phillips who was his counsel, insisted upon the trial proceed ing. and the consequence was, that as there was no evidence he was acquitted. The COMMON SERGEANT sentenced both prisoners to be transported for ten years. A/fred Moody, a lad apparently about 18, was indicted for a burglary in the dwelling-house of Robert Crooks, and stealing three brooches and other articles his property. It appeared that the prosecutor and his wife went to bed on the night of the 2d June, leaving a window at the lower part of the hause partly open, on account of the excessive heat which prevailed about that time. It would seem that the prisoner obtained admission to the house by means of this window, and he must then have gone into the prosecu tor's bed-room, where he and his wife were in bed, and stolen the articles in question. which had been placed in a pin cushion upon the dressing-table. The jury found the prisoner guilty, and he was sentenced to be transported for seven years. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE , Mr. TVoods, an extensive fish salesman of Billingsgate maiket, was summoned before Alderman Gibbs, " for having," according to the words of the summons, " un lawfully sold to William Perkins, on the morning of Saturday, fifty mackarel, in Billiegsgate market, the same being bad, unwholesome, and unfit for human food, against the statute," &c. Mr. Goldhain, the clerk of Billingsgate Market, attended, the question being one in which the public, especially the poorer class's, were stated to be seriously interested. The defendant having alone made his appearance at the bottom of the table when the names of the parties were called by the officer of the Court, Alderman GIBBS asked why the complainant was not present ? and no answer having been returned, deaireJ that the summons should be dismissed. Mr. Woods hoped that the Alderman would not con clude the proceedings without hearing a statement of the facts, for the vindication of the great body of the sales men, and the protection of the public. He had been accused of having sold bad fish, and it was in his power to prove at that moment that the complainant had actually substituted 11. h for that which had been sold, ( a , b nd ta ining returned withback the the mo fi n :lso s money wi ti t: bs which titut ec, theli n the purchase e pe of had been wide. Alderman Gums observed that the complainant certainly must have some motive for staying away after having so deliberately complained of a violation of the law. It was not as uncommon practice, he knew, with some of the inferior dealers in Billingsgate market, to exchange, for the good fish they purchased, fish that was unfit for use. He should know how to deal with persons who resorted to such an expedient, if any such were brought before him. Mr. Woods said, that apprehending the intention of the complainant not to appear in support of the sum mons, he had sent a message to Prescott, offering to pay all expenses if he would voluntarily come forward to prove his case. It appeared, however, that the complaint was to fall to the ground for want of evidence. Alderman GIBBS.—In cases of the kind the reference is to be made to Mr. Gold ham and the inspectors appointed by the general body of the fishmongers, who, if they are appealed to, will take care to protect the injured party. . . . . Mfr. Goldham said that the complainant applied to him on Saturday, and produced some mackarel which l►e said was bad, and had been purchased of Mr. Woods by him. Finding that the fish was good, he (Mr. Golelhani) stated his opinion to that effect, and desiring the Min to select the worst mackarel in the lot., caused it to be cooked. and it was proved before Sir Chapman Marshall, on Monday, to be unexceptionable. Mr. Woods said he was salesmae to one company, which employed twenty-five vessels for mackarel fish ing, and upwards of 300 men. Every one knew in how short a time mackarel became tainted in hot weather. It was, indeed, frequently the case that in a very short time after purchases were made, the fish changed, and it would be most desirable to be informed how long a salesman was responsible for the soundness of the ar ticle after delivery. The dealers were as good judges as could easily be found of the quality of the article they dwelt in, and it was a trick with some of them to sell as many as they could, and to return with those which they could not sell, and after having knocked them about, to the great injury of their appearance, demand an amount of money corresponding with the alleged loss, tk[c. Between that practice, and the trick of sub stituting bad for good fish, as had been already stated, [ complaints of the kind were doing an immensity of [ mischief. Mr. Goidham said, there was no doubt of the truth of the representation made by the defendant, and of the effect of the practice described. If dealers brought to him any fish of which they complained, he and the in spectors, than whom none could be better judges, had only to decide upon its quality, and if that decision proved to be against it, it was destroyed. The great object of the salesmen now was, to know how long after the sale of fish they were to be responsible for its sound ness. Alderman GIBBS said the absence of the complainant, and the consequent dismissal of the case, prevented him from going into the merits of the question ; but he should be ready to deal out impartial justice in any case involving the responsibility. It is necessary to mention, that frequent disturbances take place in Billingsgate market, on account of disputes referring to the above matter. BOW-STREET. EXTENSIVE ROBBERY AT MISSIIS.AC;iERMANN's.—Robot Crauford Baitlett, a shopman in the service of Messrs. Ackermann, was brought up for re-examination, charged with stealing a quantity of prints, &c., of great value. Mr. Warren appeared for the prisoner. Mr. George Ackermann stated that on the 29th June he was waited on by Mr. Williams, a bookseller, in the Strand, who informed him that an illustrated work, containing sketches of considerable value, bearing his initials and also his foreign mark, h a d b een offered to him for sale; and hav ing communicated his suspicions upon the subject, he went into a back parlour, and brought out the prisoner, who was conveyed to his house, and locked up in the drawing-room, while he ordered a constable to be sent for. On his return with his brother, he found that the prisoner had made his es cape by the window to the adjoining house, in consequence of which he was followed by the officer to his lodgings, in Amwell-terrace, Islington. The nine books produced were the same which bad been shown to him by Mr. Williams, and were his property. Mr. Adolphus Ackermann said that when the prisoner was conveyed to his house he fell on his knees to beg for mercy, as it was his first offence. On going to his lodging with the officer he found 116 prints, value 69/. 14s. 6d., bearing his private mark, together with drawings, colours, brushes, &c., and also an album upon his person. Mr. Williams said that he had known the prisoner as being in the habit of interpreting for a Russian gentleman. About a month back he mentioned that he had some books belonging to an artist for sale, and about a week after a porter in the service of the prosecutors brought them to his shop. He also brought another parcel, which aroused the suspicion of his partner; and the prisoner having called for 20/. as payment for them, information was given to the pro secutors, who identified teir property. Mr. Edward Gregory, a frame-maker, 23, Fleet-street, proved that on the 23d March the prisoner called upon him, offering a quantity of engravings for sale, for which he agreed to give credit for a week. Witness subsequently went to his lodgings, and purchased some prints for 9/., some of which were soiled, and which the prisoner said he had been col lecting for years. He also sold him prints, the price of which amounted to 11/., which were afterwards framed and disposed of by auction, and witness consequently could not say in whose possession they were. Mr. JAsmINE ordered the prisoner to be further remanded. CLERKENWELL. TILE NEW BUILDING ACT.—Thomas Scott, the owner of some low lodging-houses in the neighbourhood of Somers town, was charged with having violently assaulted Thomas O'Connell, and he was fined 50s. In the course of the investigation, it appeared that the plaintiff occupied a kitchen in the house of the prisoner, where he slept with his family, whilst the upper part of the house was crammed by numerous distressed persons. The prisoner, it was stated, formerly kept houses of a similar de scriptisn in St. Giles's. Mr. GREENWOOD, addressing the prisoner, said it was im• portant that he (the prisoner) should know that the recent Act of Parliament, passed for the immediate protection of the poor, and to prevent disease and fever in the town, came into operation on and after the Ist day of July, 18.16, and forbad the letting of kitchens, &c., unless built peculiarly and constructed pursuant to the directions laid down in the statute. The parties letting out such places to the poor were liable to a penalty of 20s. for every day it was used. Scott said his kitchens were formed according to the Act oi Parliament. Mr. GREENWOOD—If so, all the better. He directed the police to look after the place; and Mr. Wilkes, the overseer, being also present, was desired to attend to the case. CREAM OF EGYPT A L'IBRAHIM PACHA. The novelty of the bill of fare which appeared in our columns of Saturday last, relating to the banquet given to his Highness Ibrahim Pacha, by the members of the Re form Club, the day previous, having since been the topic of general conversation, our readers will perhaps feel in terested in the description of two of the most novel and original dishes served on that occasion. The first, entitled, "Cream of Egypt a l'lbra him Pacha," and composed expressly for the occasion by M. Soyer, the chef de cusine of the club, was the admiration of the whole company, and especially so of the Pacha, who as soon as it was placed before him, quickly perceived the honour intended to be conferred upon him. This dish consisted of a pyramid about two feet and a half high, made of light meringues cake, in imitation of solid stones, surrounded with immense grapes and other fruit., but repre senting only the four angles of the pyramid through sheets of waved sugar, to show to the greatest advantage an elegant cream a l'Ananas, on the top of which was resting a highly-finished portrait of the illustrious stranger's father, Mehemet Ali, carefully drawn on a round shape satin carton, the exact size of the top of the cream. The portrait was immediately ob served by his llighness, who carefully took it up, and after showing it to several of his suite, placed it in his bosom. What was his Highness's astonishment, however, on again looking at the spot, to observe in the cream, as under a glass, a highly-finished portrait of himself surrounded by a very carefully exe cuted frame. M. Soyer having been sent for by the party, was highly complimented by his Highness, through his interpreter. The Pacha desired to know where and how he could procure such a likeness of his father, and how his own was so correctly drawn in the cream ? Please tell his Highness, says M. Soyer to the interpreter) " that both were executed from the original sketches drawn by our celebrated artist, Horace Vernet, whilst in Alexandria. The portrait in the cream is drawn on wafer paper, which being placed on the damp jelly, representing the glass, dissolves, and nothing remains of the wafer paper but the appearance of the portrait painted in light water colours. The imitation of the gilt frame is made with the eau-de-vie of Dantzic and gold water mixed with the jelly, the gold leaf of which forms the frame." After having been thanked by the Pacha, the pyramidal cream of Egypt was ordered to be shown to each guest by sliding it from one to tie other round the table. Though everything was eatable in it, this magnificent dish was respected, and remained untouched until the end of the banquet, though everybody tried to partake of the fruit which surrounded it. - -- The next dish which much amused the company was the one entitled the " Gateau Britanique a l'amiral," being the representation of an old man-of-war, bearing the English and Egyptian flags, drawn on rice paper, the ship being filled with ice mousseuse aux le :he, and leaded with large strawberries, cherries, grapes, and bunches of currents, It was so placed on the table that Commodore Napier, had to help from this cargo the Illustrious Stranger, who appeared much amused at the incident. The moisture and liquor of the ice gradually melted and imbibed the carcase of the vessel, which was made of a kind of delicate sponge cake. While the Gallant Commodore was in the act of helping the re mainder of the ice, the ship gave way, and formed a complete wreck, which caused great hilarity among the company who were close enough to witness the scene. ANECDOTE OF IBRAHIM PACHA AT MANCHESTER. An amusing incident occurred when the P ac h a was visiting a glass manufactory in Manchester. I n t h e centre of one of the squares of the building stands a pump. Round this had congregated some twenty or thirty o f th e b oys, some with bowls, others with tin cans or jugs. Amid this group suddenly came the Pacha. Astonishment seized the whole of the pump, and was height ene d b y h i s taking from one of thema jug, filling it with water f rom the pump, and drainingits contents to the very bottom; his example was followed by his suite. Ibrahim Pacha is a Mahomedan, and, as such, will not indulge in the use of wine. It is needless to say, that the vessel from which they drank speedily rose in value—could not be had at any money, and has been canonised as a r e li c un d er t h e t i t l e o f "Ib ra him Pacha's jug." OPERATION OF THE NEW CORN BILL.—The new Corn-law Repeal Bill came into operation on Monday, and since then about 75,000 quarters of wheat, 4,000 quarters of oats, 3,000 quarters of barley, and l,BOO quarters of beans have been taken out of bond. Thisis a greater quantity of these descriptions of grain than was released in Hull for a period of twelve months. Yet there is no panic in oqr Corn market, nor are any fears entertained that prices will fall mach lower than they are at present. The market is dull, but the causes of the dulness are not to be sought in any superabundance of foreign corn. The best qualities of wheat continue to maintain former prices. —Hull Advertiser, THE LATE B. R. HAYDON, ESQ , THE HISTORICAL PAINTER. (From the Plymouth Times.) SECOND NOTICE. It was on the 14th of May, 1804, that Haydon, then about eighteen years of age, left the home of his father and his native town of Plymouth to seek his fortune, or rather, as he hoped, to earn fame and distinction in the metropolis by the cultivation and exercise of his talents. As will have been indicated to the readers of our former notice, he left home filled with the most enthusiastic notions in respect to the works he expected to produce — the improved modes of study he proposed to establish, and the new, or rather reformed School of Art he in tended to found. This enthusiasm had been for serve years "growing with his growth, and strengthening with his strength," so that his removal to London at the early age of eighteen, had become a matter of absolute necessity. London and London alone to his glow ing and ardent imagination, offered a suffici ently wide and important field for the exercise of those powers with which he felt himself to be gifted. About two years prior to quitting his father's house he Ras for some months prevented from following any of his ordinary occupations or studies by reason of an affection of the eyes, and through which it was for some time a matter of doubt and anxiety with his parents and friends whether or not he would lose his sight, and, strange as it may appear, it was whilst under this affliction that he finally resolved to be a painter— and at the same time he purchased some casts from the antique of Mr. Johns, for the purpose of carrying for ward his studies, he was unable to bear the light and confined to a dsrk room. When this affliction was re moved and his vision completely re-established, it was regarded by him with a pious feeling, which appeared habitual in him, as an indication of the approval of Pro vidence of his selection of the profession of a painter, as a Divine pledge of his success in effecting a great reform in art. And it is known that in after life, indeed, until within the last two or three years, he regarded his re covery, and the enthusiasm he felt for the art as the promptings of a Superior and an Infinite power impelling him forward for the accomplishment of great pur poses. It was possibly this conviction that made him so determined and so self relying through life. Who can say to what extent this one conviction may have in fluenced his opinion and conduct—how, by its habitual and excessive power, it may have tended to plant his path with thorns and to embitter his cup of life? Who shall say how much it had to do with the melancholy catastrophe at the termination of his career? Who shall say how much of his chequered career is attri butable to the one strong and abiding conviction of his mind in respect to his mission for the improvemeut of British art? It may, perchance, have sustained him in his troubles, enabled him to produce those magnificent creations of his genius, the value of which must even tually be appreciated, in the midst of suffering penury and want; but, on the other hand, it may have made him too unobservant of the merits of others or of the value of academies, and thus have induced that constant warfare and battle by which he surrounded himself until his death. But enough of these speculations, which are wide of our present purpose—which is to give some facts relative to his history and not to account by any tnetaphys'c or other speculation for the production of the facts which make up his history. On the morning, therefore, of the 4th of May, 1804, he took leave of his friends and sorrowing parents, by whom his speedy return was confidently predicted. They could not sympathise with the warmth and ardour of his feel ings, and therefore could not but suppose that on the first taste of the difficulty of an artist's life he would be disgusted and gladly return home. A journey from Plymouth to London, by land or water, was then no such easy matter as at present ; it wns then a grave and serious matter, the occurrence of which once in the life of an individual was considered an important event, and for one person to accomplish it twice, constituted him a curiosity and a wonder. It was then something for a mother to part with her darling son for a journey to London, for he would be at least two nights and the better part of two days on the road ; but now, the mother may bid her son farewell in the morning, and he will be sate with his friends in London by the hour of dinner on the same day—and the mother may hear of his safe arrival, &c. in about 24 hours from his leaving her. Leave-takings were then, therefore, the more solemn and impressive. This being in the instance of the young painter, to whom his parents were most devotedly at tached, gone through with perhaps more than usual dis plays of feeling on the part of all the parties concerned, he left with high hopes and brilliant expectations as to his success in the practice of his art. On the second morning after leaving Plymouth, he arrived safe in Lon don ; and, notwithstanding the fatigue of so long a jour ney, and in spite of the loss of his usual rest for two nights on the top of a coach, when he got down in Ox ford-street, so strong was his enthusiasm, and so buoyant his hope, that instead of seeking repose, he left the inn and wandered through the Strand, and in passing in his progress a church open, he went in, and with a feeling 'if devotion fell on his knees, and having thanked God for his safe arrival in the metropolis, he prayed with ardour that he might be blessed and made successful in the establishment of a better school of art than was then existing. He rose from his knees, strengthened in his purpose, and so refreshed that, instead of going to bed he sat up the whole of the night making some drawings from casts which he had purchased in the course of his walk. On his arrival in London, his name was entered as a student of the Royal Academy—and here his abilities and enthusiasm soon brought him into notice; through the medium of Prince Hoare, he obtained an introduc tion to the remarkably clever, but eccentric Fuseli. In all probability, his early introduction to Fuseli, who was headstrong and blunt in his manners, had considerable influence on the susceptible mind of Ilaydon, who, it is evident, became an ardent admirer and imitator of his friend; and thus he became like him, fearless and out spoken—and as an artist, like him, addicted to exagge rated attitudes and drawing. In 1807, being then in die twenty-first year of his age, he sent his first work to the Royal Academy. It was entitled " Joseph and Mary resting after a day's journey on the Road to Egypt," and was regarded by his friends as a pledge of his future eminence and success. This picture having found a pur chaser in a distinguished patron of the arts of that day, he was encouraged to attempt a still more ambitious task, the result of which was " Dentatus," which was pur chased almost as soon as complete, by Lord Mulgrave. This picture was regarded by his friends as a jus tification of the high estimate they had formed of his powers, and did much toward establishing his reputation; nevertheless, it was from circumstances connected with the exhibition of it, that his enmity to the Academy ori ginated. He thus writes :—" By vote, the picture was hung in the great room, in Mr. Fuseli's presence. The Committee promised Mr. Fuseli it should remain there. He went out of town, and in the interval they re-voted, took the picture down and placed it where there was then no window. By this conduct my prospects were blighted for the time ; and it was not until I sent the same picture, the year after, to the British Institution, where it was hung at the head of the room, and got the great prize, that I regained the confidence of Lord Mul grave." This has the air of ill-treatment, and was re sented by Haydon ; and from that day his life was one battle with the Academy. His letters, hisconversat ions on art, and his lectures alike breathed a spirit of war against the Academy; while on the part of the academicians he sometimes received, what with his feelings he could not regard as conciliatory treatment, and hence, instead of his being attracted towards, he was repelled still further from the body, by whom he considered himself to be indignantly treated, and thus he was induced to resolve a reliance upon his own genius, and to determine to see what he could produce without the Academy. And in his own words, in a letter addressed, about eighteen months since, to Mr. Edmund Fry, of Plymouth, when alluding to the Academy :—" Their very attempt t o crush me has given me an isolated reputation, which, as one of a body, I could never have attained. Academies have ever been a signal of distress, and all the greatest men appeared before they were founded in England. Nor do I think the art will ever recover its genius till they are reduced to schools again ; and alone, these are my principles of opposition, and I'll die in them." In 1809, " Dentatus," which is among the finest efforts of his pencil, was exhibited, and attracted numerous ad mirers at Somerset House; and at this period the vigour of his genius drew a number of friends around him. Sir G. Beaumont gave him a commission for a subject from Shakspere's Macbeth. His " Judgment of Solomon " was, as we stated last week, bought by the late Sir Wm. Elford and Mr. Tingcombe; his " Alexander Returning in Triumph after having Vanquished Bucephalus," was purchased for 500 guineas by the Earl of Egremont ; " Venus and Anchises " found a purchaser in Lord de Tabley, at 200 guineas, and some minor pictures were equally well disposed of. In the midst of his successes, we find from his letters that Haydon still retained the liveliest affection towards Plyeseuiti, as his native town; and on the other hand, it appears that Ply mouth had neither fergotten him, nor became wholly insensible of the banour of being associated with his name; and hence we find, that at a meeting of the Mayor and commonalty of the borough, held on the 26th of September, 1816, the freedom of the town was presented to Mr. Haydon, " as a t es ti mony of respect for his talents, as displayed in his recent picture, " The Judg ment of Solomon: About this period he again sought admission to the Academy, but had the mortification of standing two elections without a s i ngle vote in his favour, in his own words—" When I was disposed to conciliate, they were too sore to forgive," and so he became more violent , in his opp os i t i on. Besides the pro d uc ti on o f a ;:rem number of pictures, he gave lessons to his pupae! iFtbiorigst whom° occur the names of some of the most distinguished painters of the present age, viz, the Landseers (Ed w i n, Charles, and Thomas); Harvey, the designe r ; Cope, Lance, Prentice, Eastlake, and othOrgt He engaged in the controversy reletive to the Elgin marbles with great earnestness and vehemence and thereby attracted considerable notice, but lost some connexion early io in nwith the Elgin Marbles it may friends. e n m d e s n . In mentioned that Si'g he was re ques t e d th ro ugh M. M. Olenin, the presid ent, to prepare a set of cas ts for the Imperial Acad emy o f Arts at St, Peters burgh. M, M. 31enin'S letter was couched in the most flattering terms, and was accompanied as a mark of estimation for Mr. Ha )donee talents, private study of Rome oasts from the Imperial Collection of a best of Achilles, a beautiful statue of Venus, and one of Silenus, which were considered the finest things in the collection of the Emi,;eror of Russia. The letter concluded by expreesing a hope that the correspondence thus begun will not end, and that " Mr. Haydon will continue it for the benefit of the art in Russia." In 1821 he married - Ors. Hyman, then or lately of Devonport, who he,d the reputation of being one of the finest seamen in the country, and to whom he was throughout his life most devotedly attached. Mrs. fitsydon survives her gifted husband, as do also two sons and one daughter. The most rarintelmble of his pictures up to the period of hie marriage, Resides thou already named, were two cartoons, entitled Curse," - and 4dwaril.. i the 43,104 rtince l " "Christ," "Christ iu the ..~'' Garden," " Christ Rejected," and a remarkable CO bination of Three Heads, Wordsworth, Hazlitt, Keats, His difficulties had so grown upon him, that in 182 i, he was a prisoner for debt in the King's Bench Prig°,s: and here he witnessed 4- the mock election" of J OO this suggested the picture of that name, which founa l purchaser at 500 guineas in his Majesty George. A , His friends assisted him out of the pre s su r e of his aPc. culties, and he now commenced " Eucles." In 182 9 4 '; produced a companion picture to the " Mock Elects ' t entitled "Chairing the Members," which was botgg at 300 guineas, by Mr. Francis, of Exeter. Anotr, picture of the sam e p er i o d was hi s " Ph arao h distoo jag Moses at the dead of the Night, after the Passe r ', bought by Mr. limiter, an East India merchant, fa t " sum of 500 guineas. In 1830, Mr. Haydon was ag a in th rown i n to Pris oIV , for debt. The Examiner of that dat e , r e f err ing to tt i i circumstance, having briefly stated the grounds taken his opponents on the one hand, and by his friends ori t x other—observes of his " Eucles," which had been t ) ti ;i : then completed, that it was " a noble and almost Per l .; 4 ! performance, which proves that his historical porf:i are in full strength, and affords reason to believe t he were he tolerably at ease in his circumstances, works augmented interest and a higher beauty might be reg's? e j , ably expected from his vigirous hand." In the same art w, the writer urges that the gift of a few hundred VII; would effect all the required object of liberating t.,' artist, and relieving the family of the natural anxiety's' thus concludes, appealing to artists- :—" In thus coral ing and Oanting once more upon his feet an in vidual, who, though he may have ceased in solve' ., spects to have claims upon their consideration, is in t . t : possession of ability o f no common or d er — eve n if has offended to the full extent asserted by smiler; most assuredly will resolve t o go and sin no more,. '5 thenceforward cherish a proper regard for his MO, and supporters, and be unwearied i n hi s endeavours!' show that he entertains a high and becoming sense the benefits conferred." A More recently he pained " The Great Banqu e t , Guildhall," " Napoleon musing at St. H e l ena ," ' ;4 Duke on the Field of Waterloo," " C ur ti us 1(4.1 into the Gulf," " Uriel and Satan," " The Baoli ment of Aristides," " The Burning of Rome Nero," and a number of small er pi ctures . '.,,4 some years he appears to have thought Oro of designs for six pictures intended to decorate. House of Lords. In a l e tt er wr i t t en i n December, 1°,4 to an artist of Plymouth, h e says, " I am b ar d atm . painting my six de s i gns f or i W ndepende n t ex hibiting have got through ' Democracy • I am now at `, potism ;' then for ' Anarchy,' ' Revolution,' ' Law , ' 'Limited Monarchy.' As these designs have been i . before every Minister down t o Si r R o b ert P e el,: rather hard I am forced, as usual, to do them Wit employment ! but I suppose I require the stiratvw opposition to rouse my faculties, and I am content ed let me live till the six are done, amid Ido not feat; 6 l justice of posthumous criticism." These six, how e': were never completed by him ; but he has left he b him designs and tracings of the series ; and he Was t gaged in painting the third, intending to illustrat e blessings of Law and Justice, at the time of his des% His career has been a remarkable and an instate' one—possessing great genius and much enthusiasm' permitted his proud and haughty spirit to stand be, s c . , him and success. in the w or d s o f the Atheneum,' more of care and less of en th us i asm, h e might ' achieved a reputation less likely to be impaired thfi p • ' fame he fa nc i e d h e h a d won from a future gene s" competent to understand the solid principles ttf : style."
