Fiu,—Niach is said about our defenceless state and the dancer we are in, from the ambition of that uprincipled tr r, Louis Napoleon. It is rumoured that our army is to be increased 25,000 men, and our militia called out. Let me suggest a substitute for the latter, by a plan which I think will be successful—abate a great nuisance (the game-laws)—and cost nothing to the State. Let a licence for shooting game be given to every one who will enrol himself to be trained for military service, and vo luntecr to serva against an invading force. The corps *Sight be dressed as gamekeepers usually are, and find their own equipments. I have no doubt that tens of thousands of able-bodied active young men would thus form a military corps of Riflemen, who would give as good an account of Frenchmen as of grouse or partridges. Poaching would be at an end—the prisons would not be filled with men whom the laws made criminals, and who would deserve a cross of the Legion of Honour instead of 3 remain yours, &c, Sheffield, 22d Jan., 1852. T. A. WARD. THE LATE LiEcifT GALE. The furious gale which swept along the Channel ani eastern coast during the who's of last Saturday and Sunday has been productive of the most serious disasters. A melancholy one happened on the eastern coast, between Cromer and Yarmouth. A fine brig called the Eluide, Mr. Russel master, belonging to Stockton, wag on a voyage to the Thames from Hartlepool, and when abreast of Cromer she encountered the formid able gale of Saturday. At length sbe sprang an alarming leak, and the most vigorous working of the crew at the pumps failed in reducing the water. Tremendous seas.kept breaking over her, sweeping the decks and carrying away everything moveable. As the evening advanced she lost her steerage, and, ‘ - atching a heavy blast of wind, went over on her beam-ends, and instantly foundered in some eight or ten fathoms of water. The crew had not the least means of preserving themselves, and, with the excep tion of the master, every soul on board perished. Mr. Russel contrived to make his way up the rigging as the vessel was going down. He secured himself in the crosstrees, and after being in that position up wards of 12 hours he was taken off by the Inconstant, of Blyth, and landed near Yarmouth. When res cued he was in a most exhausted condition. Early on the morning of the same day another de plorable catastrophe occurred on the same coast. While the wind was raging with all its force from the south-west the Elizabeth, Mr. Negus master,which was on a voyage from the Tyne to London, came in collision with a barque in ballast. The violence of the shock may be judged from the fact that the barque within five minutes afterwards foundered in deep water with every soul on board. The name of the El-fated vessel could not be ascertained, and the for inidable state of the weather prevented the Elizabeth iriakiog any prompt efforts to rescue, if possible, the poor fellows. The Elizabeth lost her bowsprit, and sustained other damage by the collision. She cruised about the scene of the catastrophe as long as practi cable, in the hope of picking up some of the crew of th. barque; but nothing of them or the wreck could be Den. The Elizabeth then made for Whitby, Bor 10 miles distant, which she reached in the course of the day. The Kentish Knock, a formidable shoal some 30 - n::-4 from the entrance of the Thames, was the scene of dep'orable wreck. A schooner, named the Ann and Elizabeth, from Mogador to London, in beating up the Channel, was driven on the Knock, and the violent weather which was prevailing destroyed all chance of getting her off. She speedily became a wreck, and we regret to add that a passenger (whose name has not been communicated) and master were lost. The remainder of the crew and a second pas senger were preserved by the Alpha, of Barking, which stood for Harwich, and landed them. During the gale the cre of the Earl of Errol, bound to Bou logne, which had sprung a leak and had foundered, sought refuge on the Kentish Knock light-vessel, and have since been taken off and conveyed to Deal. In the upper part of the Swin several sunken wrecks have been observed, but the fate of the crews have not transpired. The accounts from the Welsh coast speak of the gale having been very destructive. The disasters in the St. George's Channel have already been noticed, t lit we may menti on th a t th e Leeds Dublin steam '9.ll). which was abandoned on Saturday, was reported yesterday to have been sighted on Sunday morning t about 2s miles N. by W., from the light-ship, not having then foundered. AUTHORITIES IN FAVOUR OF PAPER MONEY. THE FIRST KIR ROBERT PEEL. After the disastrous panic of 1825, the first Sir Robert Peel addressed a letter to th e Members of both Houses of Parliament dated Bth of M a rch, traB26, from which th e following pas sages are ex cted :--- t 4 Hiving been long and extensively engaged in c t - A limeroial dealings, I often witnessed a national em barrassment, arising from a defective and impure cur r9Lcy, which resembled th e present stagnation of trade; and lament to obser ve t h at suffering and ex perience h ave l failed, in this i nstance' of producing their usual good eff enlargedna-b r s a t c a i t n e g o a f business carried in .ion ec m . this country, e great variety o f , Suits, a reliance o n a metallic illacir culation ever did, andthough n ever will fail us.

Scott and Knowles, wh ich has resulted in the death of three persons, viz., Thomas Sindley, aged I 9 years, Henry Page, aged 28 years, and George Grundy, aged 32 years. The accident occurred in consequence of the ignition of foul air ; but the cause of the explosion has not yet been ascertained. Ten other persons were in the pit at the time of the fatal occurrence, most of w hom are so seriously burnt that there is not much prospect of their recovery• Baron ALDERSON—And of the opposite opinions ex pressed by other gentlemen.—(A laugh.) Sir F. KELLY said, if he had committed an error in referring to opinions expressed in the House of Com mons, he had been led into it by what fell from the Bench the other day as to the views of eminent Members of that assembly. He submitted that the provisions of the 10th George I. amounted to a legislative declaration that the words " on the true faith of a Christian" were no necessary or essential part of the oath of abjuration. The oath of abjuration sonsisted of many parts, as a de claration of allegiance and obedience to the reigning Sovereign, an abjuration of the right and title of the Pretender and his family, &c., but it did not contain as any part of the thing sworn to the fact or statement that the party ,swearing was a Christian, nor was it the meaning and intent of the Legislature to impose that oath, or any part of it, upon any person as a test of Christianity. If the oath had been intended as a test of Christianity, it was impossible that the Legislature should have authorized its administration to a Jew. There was a series of Acts after the 10th George 1., from the 2d George 11, c. 31, to the 6th George 111., e. 7, enlarging the time allowed for taking the oath of abjuration, which was, by the last-named Act, extended to the 24th :of November, 1766, se that the time thus allowed was carried beyond the passing of th e 6th G e orge 111., c. 53. He s u b m i tte d , ' therefore, that the 10th George I. having sanctioned the omission of the words " on the true faith of a Christian," when the oath of abjuration was taken 'by members of the Jewish religion, and all the succeeding Acts re ferring to the same identical oath, the effect of these Acts was, that from the time of the 10th George I. the oath of abjuration, as taken by the members of the J ew i s h religion, would be taken with that omission. He main. tained that whenever the law of this country imposed upon any subject of the realm the duty of taking an oath, the law not only permitted but required that that oath should be taken in such manner and form as to bind the conscience of the swearer. The oath of abjuration was not one which might or might not be taken, according to a person's pleasure or interests, but in many oases it became a matter of necessity on the part of members of the Jewish religion to take this oath, and the question was whether the law which com pelled a Jew to take the oath compelled him to take it in a way which would subject him to the guilt at once of blasphemy and perjury. It appeared from the Ist George 1., c. 13, and from the recital of the other Acts of Parliament, that their sole object was to secure the per son and Government of the Sovereign, and the succes sion to the crown, and to extinguish the hopes of the Pretender or his family, and that these Acts had no re ligious aspect or tendency whatever. It was in the first instance provided that all persons holding public offices should publicly take the oaths of allegiance, supremacy, and abjuration, and afterwards it was enacted that these oaths should be taken by all Members of the House of Commons before they could sit and vote. It must be borne in mind that though it was competent to any man to accept or reject an office of profit, a person elected a member of the House of Commons became a Member of Parliament, with all the duties and liabilities, as well as with all the privileges of the position, whether ho would or no. A person so elected could not reject the office; he was a Member by the election, and was subject to the jurisdiction of the House, even though he might have been returned against his own will. The CHIEI BARON observed that a person did not be come a member of the House of Commons until he had taken his seat. Sir F. KELLY begged, with great respect, to differ from his Lordship. He apprehended that, although a Member of Parliament was, by the express terms of the statute, prevented from voting, till he had taken the oaths, he was in every other respect whatsoever a Mem ber of Parliament before he had taken the oaths, whe ther with regard to duties, liabilities, or privileges, as he was after he had taken the oaths. It was stated in " Dwarris on Statutes," supported by reference to " Hatsell," that, notwithstanding all the forms which were introductory to a Member taking his seat in the House of Commons, a person when returned —though he might not have taken his seat—was to all 'intents a Member, except as regarded the right of voting, and was entitled to the privileges the same as every other Member. He begged their Lordships' attention to the 10th and 11th sections of the Act Ist Geo. 1., c. 13. The 10 h section empowered two justices of the peace, or any other persons specially appointed by the Crown, to administer and tender the oath of abjuration to any per son or persons whom they might suspect to be dangerous or disaffected to his Majesty, and if the person to whomithe oath was so tendered should refuse to take it, such per son should be judged a Popish recusant convict, and liable to the penalties of przemunire. So that not only at the time when the Aot was passed, but at the pre sent day any two justices of the peace, if they suspected that any member of the Jewish religion was disaffected, might call upon him to take the oath of abjuration, and if he refused to take it he became liable to the penalties of preemunire. The 1 1 th section of the Act was, how ever, still stronger. It provided that two or more jus tices of the peace might, without any cause at all, sum mon any person to appear beesrt them to take the oaths mentioned in the Act; and it such persons should not appear before the justices, or at the quarter sessions, they should bo esteemed and adjudged Popish recusants convict. The question their Lordships had to determine, then, was, whether it was the inten tion of the Legislature, and whether it was the true legal effect and construction of the Acts of Parliament, that this oath, when tendered to a mem ber of the Jewish religion, should be sworn in such man ner as might be conformable to and binding upon the conscience of the swearer? If their Lordships held that the oath must be taken by J ews w ith the words " on the true faith of a Christian," either the Jew must take the oath, using those words, and so commit blasphemy and perjury at once, or he must refuse to take the oath, and so be liable to all the penalties imposed upon Popish recusants convict. It was absurd to suppose that the Legislature, when imposing an oath of loyalty and allegiance which persons of all classes were to be compelled to take, could have intended to frame that oath in such terms that ono class, at least, of the community would be unable to take it. Any one who looked into the recitals or enactments of the various Acts of Parliament from the Reformation to the pre sent time must be convinced that all the oaths and tests which were imposed were directed solely and ex clusively against Pap ists, a nd that it was n ever t h e intention of the Legislature to affect the Jews at :jail. After analyzing the oath of abjuration, and contending that the words " on the true faith of a Christain, ,, formed no part of the oath or thing sworn to, Sir F. Kelly said, if it could be shown that the Legislature in tended to Impose this oath as a test of Christianity, and intended that the person swearing it should swear him self to be a Christian, he would admit that these were words of substance, and ought not to be rejected. The Cate, BARON observed that unless the words " upon the true faith of a Christian" were the form of oath, there was no form at all, for in the statute 6 George 111., the addition of the words, " So help me God," did not occur. Sir F. KELLY bad just been about to mention that fact. In the 6th George 111., which contained the oath as it was now administered, and upon which exclusively this action was founded, there was no form of swear ing at all, unless they took the words " upon the true faith of a Christian" to be the form of oath. If the construction contended for on the other side were the true construction, the Acts of 1 George I. and 6 Georg e 111. amou nte d to this—that the Legislature were de termined to make all the King's Jewish subjects swear they were Christians, or suffer the penalties of a praenunire. of Bishop Sanderson F. Kelly, having referred to the works and Puffendorff for definitions of the distinction between the thing sworn to and the mere asseveration or words of swearing, pro ceeded to argue that the L eg i slature of th i s countr y, iu exacting, oaths from Jews as well as Christians, must have intended that the for m of swear i ng s h o uld be such as would bind the conscience of a J e w. He contended that the prin ciple ho was now maintaining had been established in the case of Omichund v. Barker" —namely, that when the law permits or requires an oath to be taken, such oath must be taken in the form and manner binding upon the conscience of the Party swearing. Ile cm_ Sir F. KELLY —That might be so, certainly; and under that view of the matter ho felt relieved from the necessity of dwelling at any length on this statute. He would, therefore, without recurring to the points already urged to the Court, bring his argument to a close. He felt it to be quite unnecessary to dwell on the vast im portance of the questions now raised for the opinion of their Lordships, but he might state that he should be much surprised, indeed, if his Learned Friend Mr. Ser geant Channel! should succeed in persuading them that the statutes discussed bore any other constriction than that for which he (Sir F. Kelly) contended. He could not do so without persuading the Court that the .Legis lature had committed the enormous crime of forcing all the subjects of this realm to take an oath which some could not take without incurring penalties of a most fearful character. That oath was to be taken by every one at the requirement of two justices of the peace, and it would be for the Court, looking to the form of it, to say whether the Act and the oath should be read so . as to favour liberty of conscience, and thereby to do jus tice, or so as to introduce into this country the most in tolerable tyranny which could be devised. For these reasons, therefore, he submitted that Mr. Salomons was entitled to the judgment of the Court, and that these penalties could not be recovered. Mr. Sergeant CHANNELL then replied, and at the outset remarked that he did not feel it incumbent on him to occupy much of the time of the Court in so doing. It was not necessary, nor would it be proper for him to follow his Learned Friend into all of the argument he had addressed to the Court, for much of it was of a cha racter which would have been better suited to another place and another assembly, and would have come with perfect propriety from Sir F. Kelly, when returned as Member for the city of Exeter. Here such topics were inappropriate, and he should not further notice them. He should recall to the recollection of the Court the principal points which he had submitted to them in his opening. These were twofold. He first objected that the oath was not properly taken on the Old Testament; and, secondly, that the oath was a Christian oath, and that, not having been taken in its entirety, it had not been taken at all as required by law. He had sug gested that these questions should be viewed in the spirit of the times when the oath wasimposed on Members by the Legislature, and, having ascertained that spirit and the nature of the oath, the Court should then proceed to inquire whether the oath had been altered or repealed by subsequent legislation. Much stress had been laid on the caso of Omi chund v. Barker by the defendant; but the Court would do him (Hr. Sergeant Channel!) the justice to remember that he never flinched from that case. Ho knew the use to which it had been put elsewhere and what bad been said about it; bat all that was answered by the fact that that decision applied to a country and to a state of things where no precise form of oath existed, and yet where it became necessary to administer an oath in some form to a witness. That could not be better done than in such form as that witness should declare to be binding on his conscience, and the case was so de cided. But it presented no authority for saying that an oath couched in a form devised and prescribed by Act of Parliament with a view to Christianity could be taken legally in any other form and with any other ceremonies than those prescribed by that Act of Parliament. Such was the substance of the argument for the plaintiff, and the question it raised was, wh e th er th e 6 t h o f G e orge 111. was to be considered a (I, ad letter or not, or whether " Victoria" should be substituted for the as individual s , b u t i n t h e i r cor p ora te w of or h d in " g G e, eo n r o g t e." Now, eve r y A c t on t h e su bj ect s p o ke capacity; and it was most absurd to say that these Acts did not so relate to them. The Act for the re lief of the Roman Catholics of George IV. spoke of the oath of abjuration as being " now by law required; and the 3d and 4th of William IV., which relieved Quakers, also contemplated its existence under a Wil liam; so that the argument as to the censor of the oath fell to the ground. Authorities, too, showed that this ob jection was a futile one. They were, " R eg i na V. Green," Ventris 171, and 12 Coke Rep., 350. Then came the question, was this a Ch r i s ti an oat h requ i re d to be taken in a particular form? and, in considering that question, he wished broadly, di st i nctly, and clearly to claim the right to examine contemporaneous Acts of the Legislature. He had a right to see what was dine just before and after the passing o f t h e A ct requ i r i ng t h e oath of abjuration in its integrity, as a means of testing the meaning of the Legislature in passing that Act. That had not been used elsewhere, nor had Sir F. Kelly attempted to meet it hero to-day. We must look at the spirit of the day to determine what the Legis lature meant. Such an inquiry was all-important on the question whether this oath was or was not meant to be a Christian oath. Those contemporaneous statutes showed that the oath was required to be taken on the holy Evangelists; that it contained the test of the " true faith of a Christian," and was accompanied by the necessity of subscription to the declaration against transubstantiation. All these things taken together showed to demonstration th a t th e oa th was meant to be a Christian oath, and, un l ess we a re to be met by the assertion that there is no such thing possible, we say that it is impossible to deny that the oath is such. Assuming that it i s suc h an oat h, t h e mere i m p ortan t question remains, whether it can be taken without the words "on the true frith of a Christian ? " Now those words are part and parcel, and are of the essence of the oath, which is a etatutable one. Sir F. Kelly contends they are not part of the oath, because the Legislature never could be supposed to have compelled any man to commit blasphemy ; but the answer to that is that the Legislature does not impose on Jews any obligation to take this . oath. All that th e y sa y is, if you pr e sume to sit, without taking a particular oath, certain conse quences shall f o ll ow . I t i s i mposs ibl e t o a d ver t t o th e legislation of those days without recognising in it the spirit of persecution. Penalties were imposed on all who refused to take oaths in the abstract, and also on those who abstained from the parish Church, and did not take the sacrament ; and, though these restrictions were gra dually altered, they evince the spirit of the age, and throw light on the meaning of imposing a particular form of oatb. Mr. Baron MARTIN—Does not the declaration against transubstantiation rather make against than for you ? It was imposed as a test, and is now repealed. Mr. Sergeant CHANNELL —That was a fallacy. It did not follow, because one test was repealed, all others were also. Mr Baron ALDERSON—Your argument is, that if these words had been introduced into an oath now, we should look at the law as it now stands in con struing that oath, and that, by the same reasoning, we must look at the law as it stood when this oath was introduced ? Mr. Sergeant CsINNELL—Yes, that was t k h i e ng ar t g h u a ; a ll ment. Though the Jews were relieved from t t a ory on oath at quarter sessions, where it Was obligatory persons the Legis opfersaonmsetmo b ta er k? w it h , i i e t h by wa n s o op m t e io a n n a s i, fo a ll n o d wecl ot t ab o a b t li t g h a e t o o a r y th , was also to be altered.

Tile judgment, without pledging themselves to any particular day, would be given shortly. COURT OF B ANKRUPTCY, Jan. 28. (Before Mr. Commissioner FONBLANQUE.) IN RE SOLO3ION SOLOMON. The bankrupt was a tailor of No. 1, Strand• This was the certificate meeting. Ills accounts, f r om August, 1841, The prisoner had been in the habit of visiting public houseF, and tendering the orders to servants or othars with whom he could get into conversation. Ho described himself as a cnequetaker at the various theatres, and very freely guaranteed the genuineness of the tickets, to which the names of " Thompson," " Williams," &c., were generally attached. He obtained from 6d. to 2s. for the pit orders, which, on being presented at the theatres, were detained as forgeries. Mr. HENRY, after expressing his surprise that the managers of some of the theatres did not take up the prosecution, instead of leaving it in the hands of a con stable, ordered the prisoner to be committed for trial. Mr. George Churchill, the publisher of the Lancet, ap peared on a summons to answer the charge of having neglected to forward certain copies of that publication to the British Museum. Mr. A. Panizzi, the keeper of the printed books. stated that the defendant had omitted to send the Lan cet regularly for some time, and it was desirable to let all publishers know that they were bound to supply the Museum with a copy of each of their publicatious with out being first requested to do so. It was no part of the business of the officials to apprise the trade of their obligations in this respect. Publishers were bound by the Copyright Act to furnish them, as a matter of course. Mr. Churchill explained that the omission on his part was merely accidental. He was aware of the obligation, and had every desire to attend to it; but from indisposi tion and a pressure of business, the matter had escaped his memory. He would undertake to supply copies with regularity for the future. Mr. HENRY, under these circumstances, imposed only a nominal penalty of ls. for each of three omissions spe cified iu the summons. WORSHIP-STREET. James Turner and John Lye were charged with having, in conjunction with two other men not in cus tody, committed the following outrageous assault and robbery. Mr. Joseph Moses, a tradesman in Holywell-row, Shoreditch, was busy in his shop at half-past two on the day preceding, when upon looking ou t h e saw one o f the men not in custody lift up the prisoner Turner upon his shoulders, and Turner immediately pulled down the sign over his door and commenced breaking it in pieces. This was evidently done to facilitate their operations at plunder by keeping him employed, and he ran out to rescue his property from being destroyed, but the instant he got to the door the third man dealt him such a heavy blow between the eyes as to bring him to the ground, and inflict a serious contusion and swelling which he now presented. Upon recovering from the stunning effects of the blow he grappled with his assailant, be tween whom and himself a violent contest ensued, and in the course of it he felt his coat forced open, the pocket of his waistcoat torn out, and two sovereigns and a half which were in it were grasped by the third man, but not ,sufficiently tight to secure the whole, one of the sovereigns slipping through his fingers, and dropping at his feet. This was immediately caught hold of by the prisoner Lye, who attempted to dart off with it, but was seized hold of by the prosecutor's wife, who held him with such determina tion that he first thrust the sovereign into his mouth and swallowed it, and then flung her to the ground in the middle of the road. The woman, however, with spirited courage still clung to the prisoner, who could not shake her off, and both rolled on the ground strug gling together, when the prosecutor caught sight of the position his wife was in, relinquished his grasp of the man he was engaged with, and seized Ley by the neck. Lye called out to his confederates to assist him, and Turner and the two other men not in custody exerted 'themselves to make the prosecutor release him; but the prosecutor retained his grasp with such pertinacity, that they were obliged to cut the prisoner's neckerchief through with a knife, and they were all four about to take to their heels when the prosecutor flung his arms round the waists of Turner and Lye, and, in spite of the most desperate attempts at escape on their part, clung to both men until a constable came up, when they were at length captured by the officer, the two confederates at once disappearing, with the remainder of the money in their possession. The prosecutor, on concluding his evidence to the above effect, complained that he had been severely injured in the course of the contest, and that, in addition to the appearances which his face pre sented, he was still suffering from several other serious bruises on other parts of his person. The prosecutor's wife fully confirmed her husband's statement, and having sworn to Turner as the man who cut Lye's neckerchief while the prosecutor was endea vouring to hold him, deposed to distinctly seeing the latter prisoner thrust one of the sovereigns into his mouth, while one of the confederates who had escaped retained the other gold pieces in his hand. Both prisoners wished to make it appear that the whole transaction was nothing more than a drunken piece of folly, and Lye denied that he had ever seen the sovereign referred to; but a bookbinder named Scott, re siding in the Commercial-road, who was accidentally passing at the time and gave the prosecutor his address, swore positively to seeing Lye thrust it into his mouth, and that, suspecting the man had been engaged in a rob bery, he called out to the prosecutor's wife to keep firm hold of him. Mr. HAMNILL was about to commit both p ris trial, but it having been intimated that one on ers for h who had effected their escape was a n otorious character not well known to the police, who it was thou gh t r would ension also, have much difficulty in etlecting until hisa that day week, Lye and Turner were committed that the whole might be sent for trial together. LAMBETH.

Mr. NORTON observed, that he was anxious to see the prisoner's husband, and as Mr. Elliott had sat on the day Mr. Bishop attended, ha should allow the caseto stand over to a f u t ure d ay, and allow the prisoner in the interim to be at large on her own recognizances. At a late hour in the evening Mr. Bishop presented himself before the magistrate, and complained of the report of the last examination of the case in the news papers as being most injurious to him, and calculated seriously to damage and injure his character. The reve rend gentleman declared he was not aware, when he at tended before Mr. Elliott on the former day, that the young woman charged with the offence of illegally pawn ing had represented herself as his wife, else he should then most positively have contradicted it, as she was not justified in assuming the character of wife Mr. NORTON observed that he recollected perfectly well that the young woman had distinctly stated that she had been married to him (Mr. Bishop) three years ago, at Lymington, and that he was in bed at the time she took the blanket from off it, for the purpose of pawning it to procure them a breakfast. Mr. Bishop denied this, and said it was as untrue as her assertion about her being married to him. He said that a represeutatioa had guile forth that he had been allowed as much as 51. and 3/. a week for his support, but this was untrue, as these sums were merely pro mises to hie), but the promise was never fulfilled. His property, and which, be said, was in the hands of his assignees, amounted to 23,000/., while his just debt s did ' no t exceed 5,000/.; b u t he got so entangled in the hinds of the lawyers that, though 13,000/, was actually duo to him, he could not get a pound, and so straitened was he in pecuniary matters that he had been compelled to take the coat from his back, and pawn it for 10s, he paid the landlady. The MASTER, in placing the name of Mr. Clarke upon the list, said the object was not now to settle the general list of the contributories with the view of making a call, but simply to ascertain who were the parties responsible for the company's funds contri buted by the various shareholders, to whom they would be called on to account as trustees and as the acting committee. The Earl of Harrington, Colonel Elrington, Major Croft, and Messrs. Tyler, Spyers, King, and Cum berledge were placed on the list in that capacity, thus completing the settlement of the list of provisional and acting committee, leaving the gen e r a l li s t of share holders to be proceeded with, and the charge of the official manager, calling on the managing committee to account, to be brought in before the Master. NEWPORT, ABERGAVENNY, AND HEREFORD.--The works on this line were formally commenced on Mon' day by cutting the first sod at the intended cutting la Abergavenny and at Llanvihangel in the presence of a large number of persons amidst considerable rejoi cing. Three of the directors ; Mr. Pritchard, the secretary; Mr. Bachelor, the late mayor of Newport; Professor Gordon; Messrs. Rennie, Logan, and Thompson, the co n t rac t ors ; M r. D avis, the mayor of Newport ; and Mr. Sayce, the resident engineer, took part in the ceremony. The line is to join at Ponty pool the Newport and Pontypool line, which is now completed and nearly ready for opening. The neW line will pass through Abergavenny and Llanvihan gel to Hereford, a distance of 32 miles. There will be no tunnel on the whole line from Hereford to Pon typool and Newport. The works are to be completed in September, 1853, and the line opened for traffic. The works were originally contracted for in 1847 with the present contractors, when the price of every thing connected with railways was exceedingly high, but subsequently the contractors, in a very conside rate manner, agreed to modify the terms, in accord ance with present prices, and they also fulfilled their part of the origimal agreement by taking shares in the company to the amount of 50,000/. A splendid banquet was given by Mr. Rennie, the contractor, at the Angel Hotel, Abergavenny, to about 70 gentle men interested in the undertaking. Several toasts were drunk, and the proceeding of the day ended in a most satisfactory manner. SOUTH WALES.—The Vaje of Neath Railway Company are proceeding with the necessary prelimi nary surveys for securing railway communication with the rich and important mineral valleys of Cwm' dare and Cwmamman.

The second is formed of the Balearic Islands, and commanded by Captain Federico Santiago , who disposes of the mar Piles, of 150-horse power, four sailing vessels, curying seven guns, and several gun-boats. The third extends along the coast of Castellon, Valencia, a - nr Alicant, and is commanded by C a pt a i n J os e J =lanes, who has under his orders the steamer Alerts, of 120-horse power, and seven other vessels, -'sting 20 pieces of artillery.

Every one who has had to visit the houses of parlia ment, or the law courts at Westminster-hall, must have occasionally seen a diminutive creature waddling" about the vicinity of those places; this was George Trout, familiarly called the " Dwarf." He was not a yard high, with extremely short arms and legs, but had a most enormous and unnatural-looking head. His sin gular appearance soon attracted the attention of many Members of the Houses of Lords and Commons, and he was often sent by them with notes to different parts of the town, upon which occasions he was extremely im portant in his little way, for, if he met any one who asked him to take some slight refreshment, his answer was, " Don't stop me; I am going with dispatches for Lord—" and old George went his way, always being faithful to his trust. He was a great favourite of the late Sir T. Tyrwhitt, Usher of the Black Rod, who pre sented him with several suits of clothes, so that he might appear respectable in the lobby of the house; but Trout invariably disposed of them, because he obtained more money in a shabby dress at the doors; and, at last, he was forbidden access to the lobby. George, when he had delivered " his dispatches," and been paid for their transit, usually had a drop, and when he went into a house he put the money with some difficulty on the bar; the servant had to look over, and then she handed him his glass, for he could not reach it. A curious story is told of this eccentric individual and of the late Mr. Anthony White, the eminent surgeon, who was not much less singular in his ways than old Trout, George, as the story tells, was an out-patient of the Westminster Hospital, where Mr. White was at the time the principal surgeon. One day he said to the dwarf, in a joking manner, that he would not mind giving 101. for his body when he was dead. George said he should have it; but little man as Trout was, he had a shrewd mind, and fancied that he should get nothing of the 101. when he was dead, so he used to call on Mr. White when in little difficulties, and obtain from that generous man ss. or 10s. for parts of his body in advance. He soon obtained the 101. in this way; but Mr. White died before George. At 76 years of age, infirmity and poverty came, and he went to St. Mar garet's workhouse. Mr. Levies, of 5, Great George street, who is the visiting surgeon, directly ordered him to the infirmary ward, where he had the kindest treat ment, but he died a few days ago from decay of nature.

[N signifies that the mails are sent from the General Post-oft:toe by the night—and M by the morning--dispatch.] THURSDAY EVENING, JANUARY 29, 1852, LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Jan. 28. (Sittings in Badeo.) SPECIAL PAPER. - MILLER V. SALOMONS. Sir F. KELLY resumed his argument in this case at the sitting of the Court. The second proposition, ho said, which he had to submit to their Lordships was, that under the Act of 6 George 111., cap. 53, upon which this action was founded, the oath of abjuration might be taken by a Jew with the omission of the words "on the true faith of a Christian." This depended, however, upon whether the provisions of the 10th George I. continued and remained in force at the time the Act of 6th Georgh HI. was passed. The Learned Sergeant (Channel!) seemed to suppose that the Act 10th George 1., cap. 4, had expired; but he (Sir F. Kelly) would be able to show, that by a series of Acts to the 6th George 111., which imposed the oath now required to be taken, the Act of 10th George I. had been kept in force. The 6th George 111. enacted, that from and after the 4th of June, 1766, the oath of abjuration prescribed in the 10th George I. should b e t a k en an d su b scr ib e d within a limited time, but with benefit of the same savings, provisoes, and indemnities contained in any Acts than subsisting. The question was then, whether the Act 10th George 1., which allowed the omission from the oath of abjuration when it was taken by a Jew of the words "on the true faith of a Christian," hal ceased and expired, or whether it had been continued, and was in force at the time of passing the 6th of George 111., c. 53. ['The Lord Chief Baron here inquired fur a printed copy of the Act 10th George 1., c. 4, which bad been referred to on Monday, and being informed by Sir F. Kelly that no copies could be obtained at the Queen's printer's, although there was a copy in the library of the Inner Temple, his Lordship observed that he thought it would be well if some Member of the Le gislature would suggest that, along with the numerous blue-books and papers published during every session of Parliament, some 9f the old public statutes should oc casionally be reprinted, for such statutes ought to be accessible to all her Majesty's subjects.] The oath of abjuration (Sir F. Kelly cont i nue d) , w hi ch, i n i ts pre sent form, wasintroduced by the Ist of George 1., c. 13, was repeated in the 9th of George 1., c. 24, which ex tended the time allowed for taking the oath. A further extension was afforded by th e 10 t h o f G eorge 1. , c. 4 , the 17th section of which allowed the oath of abjuration to be taken by Jews, with the omission of the words "on the true faith of a C hr i st i an. " N ow i t had been contended by his Learned Friend Mr. Bethel!, in the House of Commons, that this clause— The CHIEF BARON—I doubt the propriety of any re ference to the opinion of any living barrister, however eminent, delivered no matter where—whether in the House of Commons or in a parish vestry. It amounts m erely to this, that a gentleman of dessrved eminence, and of great reputation in the profession, has somewhere or other said so and so. We aro perfectly aware of Mr. Bethell's opinion. ceived that the law of England admitted every descrip tion and form of wer3s, and every description of acts and ceremonies, which might be necessary, according to the religious belief of the swearer. He contended that the Acts of Parliament to which he had referred were to be construed with reference to the mischief which the Legislature intended to remedy, and he would ask whether that mischief was anything but the hosti lity of the Homan Catholics and others who favoured the claims of the Pretender to the throne of Eng land? If their Lordships held the words "on the true faith of a Christian," to be part of the thing sworn to in the oath, it must follo w th a t t h e L eg i s l ature i nten d e d that, besides swearing allegiance and abjuration, all persons who took the oath should swear themselves to be Christians. If that wore not the intention of the Legislature, the words in que s ti on mus t b o mere wor d s of asseveration, by which the party taking the oath pledged his conscience to the truth of his declaration. The only remaining point on which he would address the Court was that arising under the statute Ist and 2d Victoria, chap. 105, which was entitled "An Act to remove Doubts as to the Validity of Certain Oaths," and the first observation he would make on that statute was, that it was declaratory of the law as it then stood. Mr. Baron ALDERSON—I take it that if the defendant had been elected, and had taken his seat when the 9th George I. was passed, he might have taken the oath under the 10th George I. without the words "on the true faith of a Christian.'' Sir F. KELLY—That would, no doubt, have been so, but he would not further advert to the construction of those statutes. The present object of his argument was to show that under the Ist and 2i Victoria the de fendant was relieved from the necessity of taking the oath with those words. That Act provided, that "In all cases in which an oath might lawfully be adminis tered to any person in any court of law or equity, or on appointment to any office, or on any occasion whatever, such person was bound by the oath, provided the same should have been administered in such form and with such ceremonies as such person might declare to be binding." The only construction which this Act could fairly receive was that oaths ought to be now adminis tered only in such form as was binding on the parties taking them, and that it was competent to all who were required to take any oaths so to take them. This statute, then, virtually repealed the Acts imposing any particular form of oath, and that would entitle the defendant to the judgment of this Court. Mr. Baron ALDERSON—Is not this point which you are now arguing the same in effect as that which you have just concluded, Sir F. Kelly? The question is— What is an oath? and whether certain words are part of it? to November, 1851, show the following items:—Credi tors, 3,083/.; debtors, good, 137/.; doubtful, 172/.; pro perty surrendered, 90/. Mr. LEWIS (who supported the bankrupt) wished to make a few observations in answer to the report of the official assignee. In 1845 the bankrupt had been be fore the Court, when he immediately passed his exami nation, and the parties, who were creditors to the amount of 5,000/., were so satisfied with his conduct that they trusted him again. For the last eighteen months the bankrupt had not got into debt at all; when he found himself unable to go on, he did not then seek to obtain credit. There was no creditor who sought to charge any fraud against the bankrupt; there was no opposition, either by the assignees or creditors. The COMMISSIONER—What was the dividend under the former bankruptcy ? Mr. LEWIS—The dividend was about Is , . 9,1, in the pound. The bankrupt received an immediate cer tificate. The solicitor to the assignees offered no opposition. His HoNoua said there had been a previOits failure, and under the former bankruptcy there was less than 2s, in the pound paid upon debts to the amount of 5,0001. The bankrupt had again failed, having creditors to the amount of 3,0001., and it was very doubtful whether there would be 300/. to distribute among them, after de ducting costs. The trade and personal expenses had ex ceeded the profits by about 1,6001. It was said that ho had paid off old debts, but he ought not to have done that till he had satisfied all his existing creditors. He (the Commissioner) stated it as a warning to other bankrupts, not to pay old creditors at the expense of new onos. It was a principle of common honesty not to rob one man to pay another. The accounts were not satis factory, but they were not very bad; they were not so good as they ought to be, but they were better than the average of persons in the same position as the bankrupt. There was a point very much in the bankrupt's favour, that for the last 18 months of his trading he did not incur new debts, and that would make a difference whe ther he should grant a second or third class certificate, and he should give him the benefit by granting a certifi• cate of the second class, atter three months' suspension. Protection was granted. IN RE JOHN CLARKE SANDFORD. The bankrupt was a stationer and bookseller of Pater noster-row; his accounts, extending over two years, show debts, 1,4221.; assets, about 1301. This was the certificate meeting. Mr. Linklater supported the bankrupt. Mr. Innes ap peared for the assigness, and did not oppose. Mr. LINKLLTER said there was no creditor complain ing, and he trusted his Honour would grant a certificate of the second class. His HoNoun granted a second class certificate, after three months' suspension. Protection was granted. POLICE INTELLIGENCE, BO W-STREET. Alfred Cowne was re-examined before Mr. Henry on the charge of forging and selling orders of admission to the theatres. Mr. NORTON remarked that he had read the trial on the prosecution of Mr. Bishop et the Old Bailey uu a charge of perjury in ob.ainieg declarations on some guns pewned by him, and ho believed him to bo innocent of the charge imputed, and this cireuelstance and his be huring with great kindness and magnanimity in a case in which he was before him (Mr. Norton) as a com pleinant, though he had been grossly treated, gave him a favourable opinion of his character, and he W,92, therefore, anxious to see him that he might endeavour to bring about a reconciliation between him (the rev. gentleman) and his mother and sisters, who were, he understood, highly respectable, and naturally much in censed at his irregular mode of living. Mr. Bishop replied, that ho should feel most grateful for his Worship's kindness, and said that, as it bad not been the wish of his mother and friends to see him, he did not wish to intrude on them. As regarded the pro secution to which his Worship had adverted, it occurred entirely through his not consenting to a friend of the prosecutor being his assignee to hie insolvency; and even the prosecutor's counsel admitted he had been hardly dealt with. In reply to the questions of the magistrate, the reverend gentleman admitted that he had slept at the house of Mrs. Geohegin, and supported the young woman who had so improperly assumed hie name, and who, he said, he had first met with at Gny'e Hospital. Mr. NORTON thought that, while his property Was in abeyance, the reverend gentleman should look out for something to d ) that would support him. Upon which he replied that a college life had ill fitted him for busi ness; and his irregularities had been such, that he could not think of looking fir a curacy. In conclusion, Mr. Bishop promised to be in attendance on the day on which the inquiry is adjourned to, and thus the matter stands. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. DIRECT EAST AND WEST JUNCTION. Yesterday a meeting in this matter was held before Master in Chancery Ferrer. Mr. Speed appeared for Mr. Jeremiah Clarke, of Macclesfield, one of the managing committee, and contended that his client ought not to be placed on the list, which would have the effect of making hit" liable to pay debts, inasmuch as the committee of management held a deed of covenant from two of the parties who had brought in claims against the estate, and by which the committee were held harmless from liability, and that the parties ought to look fur pay ment to the funds of the company only.
