LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Sept. 15. (Before Mr. Commisioner Fill‘E`O JUDGMENT.-IN RE RICHARD JEWESSON. His HONOUR, in the course - of an elaborate judgment, said I do not know that I was ever called upon to pro nounce a decision upon a certificate in which I was less satisfied with the investigation that had taken place than I am in this case, and I am of opinion that there has not been an impartial investigation in this case. It is quite evident that this is the bankrupt's fiat, worked by his agents for his purposes. Mr. Peddell is the solicitor who took out the fiat, and worked throughout, and he has long been the bisaltrunt's'own attorney. As such he has brought and defended many actions for him, and I am sorry to be obliged to say that, in defending two of these actions most discreditable defences were used. In one, the bankrupt being sued by a northern banking company, on a bill of exchange, served on the 24th of November, 1847, a notice through Mr. Peddell on the banking company, that he harl committed an act of bankruptcy, without specifying what the act was. The object of this notice —a; most dishonest one evidently was to terrify the banking company from proceeding at law, and yet not give them the means of proceeding in bankruptcy ; for, strange to say, that a trader informing" his ereditor that he has committed an stet of bankruptcy, is not an act of baakiuptcy. In another action, also, in 1847, the bankrupt, through Mr. Peddell, defended himself, by showing that a bill which he had accepted, dated Bombay, was drawn in London. In October, 1847, Mr. Peddell again appears taking an active part in furthering the bankrupt's views, for on the Ith be prepared a bill of sale, conveying the whole of the bankrupt's furniture to a creditor for money lent Misi Lindo, to whom the bankrupt had addressed a let ter on the 9th of June preceding, in these words—" Miss Lindo is, by the bill of sale, professedly the owner of the furniture." Yet the bankrupt has had the use- of it ever since. Lastly, Mr. Peddell is the solicitor who attests the declaration of insolvency,. signed by the bankrupt on the 28th of April, 1846, and takes out the fiat against him. - Then,' who was the .peti liOnillt 'creditor ? It was a Mr. Lane. But Mr, Lane was the indorsee from Mr: P e ddell himself of a bill of exchange for 591., which - liad been before indorsed by j - ewesson to Peddell, and it is a remarkable circumstance that Lane swears that he gave Peddell the full sum of - 50/, so that the transaction '''''''''''' a transaction of - distonur."•Undei such 'cireiiinitanCei; can it bP doubted that Mr. Lane was the ihStiiiinont of Mr. Pedlell? Then who *as the aAsiiifiee - ChOien by the creditors ? ' 1t was' the same` Mr. Line, and who were the creditors -- who chose him ? himself a small creditor - for 461., and a creditor :elf() voted ( by power of attorney, entrusted to Mr. Peddell, 'these who voted in the choice ' • being creditors amounting to about 4001., nut of a total debit against the bankrupt of about 8,0001. The whole management of the bankttiptcy• haiing thus fallen into the hands of Mr. Peddell, no properlnquiry has, in my • oninion,•been made. Wh'en: howeVer, the bankrupt ap plied for his certificate,Mr. Lloyd, of Milk-street, opposed for two - •creditors. The"fiest • objection was, that the transfer - of 'property to •Mist Lindo was an unfair preference, and lam of opinion that it was. I have often- laid- it down that; •fta soon as One creditor • 'takes legal proceedingi against a bankrupt, the bank rupt is bound to examine the state of his affairs, and • if he finds- himself unable tomeet his engagements, then to call his creditors together and lay his situation before them, and if they require him" to sign a declaration of insolvency he is bound to do so, and he is not to struggle -on, postponing the evil day and 'distributing his pro perty-unfairly amongst his creditors. The bankrupt was sued by many of his creditors between July and Novem ber, and in answer to a question put by Mr. Lloyd, said, " I cannot say how often I was sued." It is dear, therefore, that he ought to have made himself bankrupt prior-to October, when ha transferred his property to -Miss-Linde. • Mr. Wooller was examined before me, and according to his evidence the bankrupt told Wooller that Jones-was about getting judgment against him; :but that he had got Mr. Peddell to secure his property in the haads of Miss Lindo, and he said, also, he wished he had employed another solicitor, because it would look suspicious, Peddell-being Miss Lindo's solicitor. This, therefore, was an unfair preference. The other objec tion was, that the bankrupt had acted most unfairly towards Messrs. Benison and Co., the holders of a bill for 248/. odd, accepted by him. As to this, the facts were, that one Lamont (as we understood), with whom the bankrupt had had accommodation transactions, brought him a bill foracceptance, purporting Lobo drawn by Messrs. Hopkinson and Co., at Bombay, but being really drawn in London. This bill he accepted to en able Lamont to raise money upon it for their joint put.- poses. The bill not being paid at maturity, Messrs. Beni son sued the bankrupt, and thelatter defended himself by showing that the bill was void, being really drawn in London. Even on the bankrupt's own statement I can not doubt that the bankrupt knew Thompson's hand writing, and that when he accepted the bill he knew he should have that defence to an action, which he after • wards wickedly availed himself of. Then it was urged upon me that Mr. Lloyd, for au individual creditor, had no right to go into the case of Messrs. Benison, one cre ditor, not being allowed to take up the case of another ; and, as a general rule, I concur with that pro position, because I think it is the duty of the assignees to take up the cases of indi vidual creditors ; but this rule is founded on the supposition that there are assignees, really and - honestly acting for the creditors, to whom that duty may properly bo entrusted; but here there are no assignees. I look upon the assignee and solicitor to the fiat in this case as the instruments to the bankrupt; and whenever I am satisfied that such is the case I will accept from any quarter such information as will enable me to judge whether I can with propriety send back a bankrupt into the trading world with a certificate of good conduct. It Was also said that if Messrs. Benison were here, they could not be heard; but I will never countenance such an argument, because it amounts to this, that the very success of the knavery precludes complaint. The Cora ' miasioner is bound to listen to proof that the bankrupt, whilst calling himself a trader, issued his acceptance into the money market, with the full intention of pleading, when sued, that it was gool for nothing. I fear that I • ought to refuse the certificate altogether, but I am so un willing to inflict a punishment that is to last for life, that I have determined to tike a milder course, and in the hope that by reflectbn the bankrupt may satisfy himself that that which he may perhaps have deemed a com paratively innocent trick, was for all substantial pur - por e s little, if anything, short of theft, and may form better resolutions for the future, I will go no further than to suspend his certificate for . three years from this date, without protection, one year for not having made himself bankrupt before he transferred bis property to Miss Lindo, and two years for accepting the bill dated -Bombay, knowing it to have been drawn in London, -and pleading that fact as a defence to an action on the bill. Suspended accordingly for three years, without pro tection. IN RE PERIGAL AND BRADEY. These bankrupts were wine -merchants, of Clement's lane, and to-day applied for their certificates. Mr. Murray appeared to oppose, and Mr. Lawrence supported. A somewhat lengthened discussion took place, the re. sult of which war, Hi rloNoua granted the bankrupts their certificates. IN RE THOMPSON. This. bankrupt was an attorney at Northampton, and *bout three years since applied to this Court for his cer tificate, which was absolutely refused.. An application was recently niada to the Court to re considrr•its judgment, and the Learned Commissioner then deferred saying anything upon the matter, by way of a final decision, until he had looked into the matter. . His HONOUR to-day said that he considered this to he a very gross case, and a Erect quantity of affidavits had been hat did in by tho bankrupt to rebut the charges made against him, but his Honour dill not think that they touched the point iu question, excepting one; but yet,•he (gr. Commissioner Fane) mutt refuse the appli ()seism. • • • IN RE JOHN C 113138.

It appeared that the insolvent's half-pay as a Rear-Admiral Ins 4561. a year, subject to the income-tax, and to 401. a year set aside under a former insolvency, in 1835. He had now a little better than 4001. a year to support himself, wife, a son, and a daughter. Twice he had been relieved from his debts—in 1835, and by the Court of Bank ruptcy in February, 1846. He now owed ab ut 1,7001., and said, on being pressed, that he could n t set aside any portion of his halt pay for the creditors. Among his present creditors were seventeen persons for wine, spirits, and beer. Sargood represented several small creditors for debts incurred in the Queen's Prison since the insolvent petitioned the Court in July, 1847. He had remained in prison since that period, and as he could not be dis chargdd from debts contracted after the vesting order, he (Mr. Sargood) prayed that they might be struck out of the schedule. Mr. COOKE established in evidence that in the case of Messrs. Steele the costs of the action amounted to 37L, and in the action of Messrs. Brown and Redpath to 251. Mr. Bennett, the creditor, in person, stated that he had the insolvent in prison in France. Lie was dis charged after thirteen months' confinement, and through the exertions of the Sisters of Charity. Soine money had been paid. Ho was now one of the detaining cre ditors for about 301. The CHIEF Comussi3NEn, on the conclusion of the evidence, asked the insolvent several times whether he was disposed to set aside a portion of his income for his creditors ? The insolvent said he had a sick wife ; he had not the means of setting anything aside. He was upwards of sixty years of age. CHIEF COMMISSIONER—Why, you have 4001. a year. I again ask you, will you do anything for your cre ditors? • The insolvent declined to make any proposal; but after an intimation from his attorney, said he would give 20/. a year. Mr. NICHOLS asked for permission for the case to stand over, and he would advise the insolvent to make a proposal. The case stood over, and an application was after wards made to dismiss the petition, the insolvent under tuking to file a new petition to include all his debts, and promised to make a proposal for his creditors; the amount was not stated. His HoNOUit consented to dismiss the petition, as he considered it would be for the benefit of the creditors. He told the insolvent that he belonged to a noble pro fession, the members of which were of straightforward and honest bearing. "Do not," added the Learned Commissioner, " tarnish its lustre." The COURT decreed the dismissal of the petition on another being filed. (Before Mr. Commissioner litmus.) IN RE GODFREY YOUNG. This insolvent, who had been a collector of poor, church, and other rates, of St. Mary, Newington Butts, was opposed by Mr. Crouch, for a Mr. Pegg, and sup ported by Mr. Sargood. It appeared that the insolvent, who is now registrar of births, - marriages, and deaths in the same parish, was &defaulter to 'some extent as a parish collector, and Mr. Pegg and Mr. Batchellor, his two sureties, had to pay upwards of 2001. Mr. Pegg was now a creditor for nearly 5004 The bond given by Mr. Pegg was not in court, and it was decided that the individual case could not be proved. An opposition was made by another creditor. Mr. Commissioner HARRIS told the insolvent that had the evidence been complete he would have been re manded on the serious charge made against him. It was a case for the discretionary clause, and he remanded the insolvent For four calendar months. BLOOMSBURY COUNTY COURT, Sept. 15. CROUCH V. THE LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN RAIL. WAY COIVPAN Y. The plaintiff in this case was Mr. George Crouch, of Tudor-street, Whitefriars, who sought to recover from the London and North-Western Railway Company the sum of ss. Iod., which it was alleged had been over charged by that company for conveying a basket of small parcels from Sheffield to London. Mr. Dod appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Russell on behalf of the company. It appeared that many years ago the plaintiff's father opened an office in London for the conveyance of small parcels to distant parts of the country. The mode of transit then adopted was by the ordinary means of con veyance. The smaller pareels being collected together and placed in one large package, were forwarded to the agent in the country for his di s t r ib u ti on t o th e p ar ti es to wom the goods were directed. The business having fallen into the hands of the plaintiff, he continued to carry it on in a similar manner, until the railways drove off all other means of conveyance on the road, and then the parcels were sent per rail. On the 7th of July a basket, containing small parcels, was delivered at the plaintiff's office, for which Bs. 3d. was charged. To this he de murred, saying, That the amount he had previously paid for a package of the same weight was only 2s. 5d., and he paid the full amount under protest, and his pre sent action was 'to recover back the sum alleged to be overpaid. Fur the defence, Mr. RUSSELL contended that there were many grounds upon which the plaintiff ought to be nonsuited ; one was, that the London and -North- Western Railway Company were sued for what they never undertook to perform. They were alleged to have over-charged for conveying a package from Sheffield to London, when the fact was, they never undertook to carry any goods from that place. The parties who did were the North Midland Railway Company. It was along their line that the goods were conveyed until they got to Rugby, and that company afterwards settled with the North-Western Company for running their vans and trucks on the remainder of the distance to Camden town. Another ground of nonsuit was, that by the 7th Vic., cap. viii. sec. 64, the company had the power of charging for the carriage of any small parcel not exceed ing 500 lbs. any sum which they thought fit. On the 15th of July the company passed a resolution, that all " packed small parcels" should be charged ld. per lb. for 100 miles, and lid. per lb. over that distance. The question, therefore, was, had the company the power to make the resolution; if so, the plaintiff must not find fault with the same. Mr. Cobby, superintendent of the parcels department of the North Midland Riilway at Sheffield, said that the company were the :only carriers known to the public in that town. A parcel sent there, to be delivered in Lon don, if unpaid, would be debited to the North-Western, who would collect the carriage for the same, and after wards settle with the North Midland Company. The Midland Company began to enforce the charge on the 15th of July. Kennett, of Snow-hill, was charged the same as Mr. Crouch. • The JUDGE said that the question was one of consi derable public importance, and he would rather it had been tried in a higher court, He should order the plain tiff to be nonsuited, which would give him an opportu nity of trying the case in a'superior court. The plaintiff was, accordingly, nonsuited. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (Before the ASSISTANT-JUDGE.) The Court sat yesterday at the Wftttninster Sessions. house. Jeannette Macdonald, alias Ilfaria de Moria, alias Mary Bally, alias Ellen Sotith, alias Ellen Johnson ; Sanderson :Sanderson, alias _Sanderson H er b er t ; M ary Sanderson,alias Mary Sanderson Herbert, and Jane Morgan, were named in an indictment for keeping a house of ill-fame in the parish of St. Martin-in-the- Jeannette Macdonald was the only person that sur rendered for trial. Mr. Ballantine was for the prosecution, and Mr. Parry for the defendant. The house in question was situated in Oxendon-street, near the Haymarket, and the defendant Jeannette Mac donald, better known as Maria do Muria, was the ma nager. This was proved by an old woman who was servant in the house. Mr. PARRY, in an energetic speech, denounced the system under which, at the present time, prosecutions were carried on. It' a common informer complained to the parish authorities of any house they had to prose cute, and in the event of their declining, the informer could do it himself;and on a conviction of the parties, the informer became entitled to 101. This had the effect of making these prosecutions a trade, and a system of extortion, for in nine cases out of ten there were corn• promises made, and public justice was defeated. In the present case the parish authorities were the prosecutors, but why did they 'single Out the woman at the bar? The defendant was neither manager nor proprietor of this house; she 'fives mere' Servant; and instead of being placed at a criminal bar, why did the authorities not look 'for the real offender—the landlord of the house, and. inflict upon him the penalty which the law directed? There were those in London who lived in afluence, and maintained influential positions in society, who derived their oppalence from this source, and who secretly:encouraged this degrading traffic. It was proVed • this case that the owner of the house realised abdut 14/: a night, or something like 4,000/. a year, and . yet the woman at the bar was to be the victim. Ile had advised her to plead guilty, knotv ing, that if she did so she would be let off under recog nizances, and that if convicted she would be sent to the House of Correction; but her answer was that she was net guilty, and that rather than purchase her liberty by saying that she was guilty, she would submit to trans portstion-for life; she was not guilty, for she was only a servant of a more guilty person, and ought not to suffer for the crimes which another had committed. The jury returned a verdict of Guilty. The ASSISTANT-JUDGE said that the prisoner could, if she chose, disclose who was the real proprietor of this house, and who received the proceeds; if she gave this information, and assisted in the detection of the culprit, it would be taken into consideration. The sentence was that the deft ndarit'be imprisoned for the space of three months, with hard labour. Johh Adams pleaded Guilty to a similar charge. The defendant stated ,that he paid fifty guineas a month for the use of the house to a Mr. flight, who knew the purposes for which the house was used. He (defendant) had nothing to do with the house now, as he had given up the key. Cooper, a policeman, in reply to the Bench, said that a man named Ginness was included in the indictment against the defendant. A Bench warrant had been ob tained against him at the instance of Mr. Le Breton, the ve tli s n tr n y et -e s. le a r s h ko e f St. Martin's-in-the-Fields, whose clerk gave it to witn ess t o execute. Thi s c l er k sent w i tness a letter dire c tin g hi m not to execute the warrant against directed the witness had agreed to pay the law costs the parish bad been put to.. Ginness escaped out of the country, and N!ben this was told to the clerk, he then the reason he who informedawasi tess to execute the warrant, but it was too late. defendant was taken next morning, and transport, not taken before was, that Bernell, delay would effect woui g il ne t t the house, and who was a returned 0, point him out, in the hope that the (let a c • • °ln Ptcm4ll,e between him and the' defendant. a :~e The'ASSISTANT-eTTIDGE said that such proceedings were disgraceful; he wondered how it was that Mr. Le Bre ton allowed his clerks to make such a compromise. If the parish took up cases on public grounds, why did they abandon them and defeat the ends of justice, by letting the parties escape, by paying the costs? As to the other part of the matter, he had no doubt that warrants were held back to enable the parties to compromise; but the Court would nut in any way sanction such a monstrous system. In future, affidavits of the most stringent na ture would b 9, required by the Court, and such MB. davits should show distinctly that there was no trickery of any kind attempted. This was the first time this house had been indicted, and he would order the defend ant to be liberated on entering into recognizs,nces to ap pear for judgment if called upon, which signified that he would not be called upon if he refrained from such a couise of life, and did not open this house or any other for similar purposes; but if he or any body connected with thin house opened another, a severe punishment would follow. George Maley. John Jones, and Edward Wilkinson, were indicted under the 6th clause of the Act for the Prevention of Dog-stealing, better known as Bishop's Act, from its having been obtained mainly through the exertions of Mr. Bishop, the gunsmith, in Bond-street, for a misdemeanour, in having wilfully and corruptly taken and received the sum of 61, to aid in the restora tion of three Cuba bloodhounds, of the value of 3001., which had been stolen, being the property of Lord Alex ander Russell. ➢ir. BODKIN appeared on behalf of the prosecution, and applied to have the trial postponed, on the ground that the principal witness, who was one of the noble pro secutor's grooms, was compelled to be in attendance upon his Lordship in Scotland. _ Mr. Sergeant ADAMS granted the application, and fixed the case for the October Sessions. As this was the first prosecution under this clause, a great number of sporting gentlemen were present who seemed anxious to hear the details. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. Edward Allgood Dickenson, of 27, Denmark. row, Cold Harbour-lane, Camberwell, was again brought up on the charge of obtaining a bill of exchange for 3001., under false and fraudulent pretences, on the. 18th of Au gust last. The evidence taken on the last occasion went to show that Mr. Tracy, a lieutenant in the navy, entrusted a bill for 3001. to a commission agent named Lawless, to get cashed tor him, and also handed to him 100 shares in the Callington Mining Company, in Cornwall, as a collateral security to the individual who advanced the money. This agent gave it to the prisoner to get cashed, and he placed it in the hands of a person named Clark. Mr. Tracy having received a letter from the secretary of the Mutual Communication Society, thought proper to stop the payment of the bill, and at once demanded its restoration. Dickinson gave an order for Clark to de liver up the bill ancUshares, but he declined doing so, in consequence of which the prosecutor gave the prisoner into custody, and, after a lengthened examination, he was remanded. Lieutenant Tracy now said that he was exceedingly obliged, and,, in fart, much indebted to Alderman Challis for the attention he had paid to the case, and begged to say there was no occasion to go farther into the inquiry, as the bill and shares had been returned to him; but he thought it right to inform him that the person's name who refused to give up the bill was not Clark, but Clarkson; and that he had an office, although the pri soner denied that he knew where to find him. Alderman FAREBROTRZR, who sat with Alderman Challis, said that he would advise all gentlemen who wished to raise money, not to have anything to do with advertising agents, who were not worth one shilling; but as soon as they obtained a bill appropriated it to their own purposes, and the owner never received a farthing; on the contrary, he was the loser. He hoped that next session of Parliament, as hanging was out of fashion, they would pass a Bill to transport such persons, and thus put down a system which was disgraceful to any country and to the public at large. He also was of opinion that it would be better for gentlemen to apply to their bankers or solicitors, instead of employing any agent. Lieutenant Tracy said, for the future he should take the Alderman's advice. The prisoner said, he was not in the habit of dis counting bills, and that he had taken every precaution he thought necessary. Both Aldermen FAnEnnoniEn and CHALLIS thought the less he said about the transaction the better, and he was discharged. James Watkins, residing at No. 2, Maidenhead-court, St. Thomas Apostle, was placed at the bar charged with assaulting his wife. Ann Watkins, the wife, said that for a long time sbe had been subjected to great ill-treatment from her hus band, by his only allowing her three parts of a half quartern loaf for herself and four children, with 41bs. of patatoes, and occasionally a little tea, to last them the whole day. He never allowed them any meat, and be cause she applied to the parish for relief, to save her self and children from starving, her husband beat her and knocked her about most cruelly. Alderman FAREIROTHER—And did he give you that black eye and face that you have ? The wife—He did. The prisoner, throughout the evidence, bad a con tinual grin on his face, and at some parts of it began laughing, when Alderman TAREBROTHER said he would find it no laughing matter, for he intended to see what was the severest punishment he could inflict upon him. He wished to know what his wages were. The wife replied, a guinea per week. The prisoner said that when his wife had his money she paid no one, and ran in debt everywhere. The wife denied this, and it was evident, from her wretched appearance, that she had for a long time been ill-treated. Alderman FAREBROTHER said it appeared to him that he was one of those profligate men who married a woman, got tired of her, starved her, and ill-treated her into the bargain, and therefore he should remand him for the purpose of seeing how far the law could punish him for his cruel behaviour towards his wife, whom he had sworn to love and cherish. He was then removed from the bar. CLERKEIV WELL . _ _ Michael Mahoney, a labouring iman, was placed at the bar before Mr. Tyrwhitt, charged by Mary Mahoney, his wife, with having stabbed with intent to murder her. The prosecutrix, whose head and arm were cut and wounded, deposed that she lived with the prisoner in Bell's-court, Gray's Inn-lane. On Thursday afternoon she left home with her sister, and on their return they had a quarrel, when the prisoner seized a clog, with which he commenced beating them about the heads, &c. in an unmerciful manner, and wounded them ; they de fended themselves as well as they were able, and endea voured to escape from the room, but the prisoner snatched up a pair of fire-tongs, and after belabouring them violently with them, seized an oyster knife, and making a stab at the prosecutrix, inflicted a severe wound on her wrist. She bled profusely, and was taken to hospital, where her wounds were dressed. Ellen Keefe, the sister, corroborated this evidence. An officer of the G division heard the cries of" Mur der," and took the prisoner into custody. The prisoner denied the charge, saying that the pro secutrix cut herself with some glass, having broken a window. Mr. TYRWHITT, under the oil he prisoner. 1, remanded SOUTHWARK. Richard Letchford, a policeman of the M or South wark division, was placed at the bar before liir.Cotting ham on the following charge:— Alaria Eaton. a young woman of 18,- stated that she came up from Mailing, in Kent, on the preceding day, and that on her road, about 11 o'clock at night, she met the prisoner, and, being a stranger, and seeing he Was ft policeman from his dress, inquired the way to London bridge. He asked her where she came from? and when she told him, he said that he would show her a house where she could stay all night. He then led ber from the main road into a garden, saying, that that was the nearest way, and when they had got some distance he began to pull her about, when she rebuked him, and said she would rather walk the road all night than that he should act in that manner towards her. He, however, threw her on the ground, and forced her to submit to his violence, and when she screamed out he plaeed his band over her mouth. The complainant here described the particulars of the outrage, by which it appeared that a capital offence hsd been perpetrated. She went on to re late that he afterwards gave her a shilling, which she ac cepted, having no other money; and on leaving her he desired her to tell any policeman she met that he was not the person who ill-used her. The prisoner then walked off, and she proceeded back to the road which she had previously left, and another policeman stopped her and inquired if she was the woman whose screams for help had n he had heard a beenh short w ittime her?e a before, s and askedfidrst i a po licemandenied but afterwards told the truth as to what had happened, when she was taken to the station house, and pointed out the prisoner as the man by whom she had been vio lated. In answer to the Magistrate's questions the corn plainant said, that her parents were poor people in Kent, and that she came up to town to try and get some em ployment. She admitted that she took the money from the prisoner after he had ill used her, and promised not to say anything about it to another policeman. Sergeant Clerk, 8 M, stated that about eleven o'clock t'se preceding night be missed the prisoner off his beat in the Kent-road, near the canal-bridge, and while he was looking for him he heard the cries of a woman proceed from a place (pilled Mercer's-gardens, near Gully-quay. He listened for a while, and again heard a shriek t _and he then went towards the-- spot,- and met the young girl coming from that direction. He stopped her, asd asked her if it was she who had screamed out ? Sho at first hesitated, and -when he desired her to tell the truth she informed him of the outrage that had been perpetrated on her, and said it was done by a policeman. lie then made her accom pany him to point, out the offender, whom she said she should know again, and he took her to two policemen on the adjoining beats, and when she saw them she said that they were not the men. The prisoner was still missing from his beat, and the sergeant found that a short time ago he had gone off duty, leaving word that he was ill, and had gone to bed at the station-house. The complainant was then taken to the station-house, and minuteswhen h e g o p t re d v o i w o n o s ly stairs t t o h the pri , ownaesr, called, be fore the inspector (Frond) the complainant identified him who u hart a and few as the man by whom she had been assaulted. The prisoner said, the complainant was mistaken in his identity, and that he never saw her until he was called out of bed at the station house. He accounted for going off duty the night beforefrom sudden indisposition. -The Magistrate eulogised the conduct of the sergeant for acting with vigour in the business, and ordered that the depositions should be taken, and the prisoner corn= , witted for trial. +-~i4 • LAMBETH. Mary Ann West was finally examined before the Hon. G. C. Norton, On a charge or having caused the death of her mother, Elizabeth Shields, by personal violence. The brief facts of the case are these :—The deceased occupied an apartment in the New Cut, Lambeth, for three weeks preceding the quarrel which led to her death, and, during that time, she was scarcely sober for one hour. Some of the witnesses said she got drunk as often as three or four times a day on rum, and, as soon as she had slept away the effects of one debauch, she commenced another. On Wednesday, the 30th of last month, the deceased and the prisoner had a violent quarrel, the former having accused the latter of having robbed her of 101., and, when the landlady came down stairs, she found their hands tangled in each other's hair, and the de ceased, in falling, drew the prisoner on the top of her. The mother was found to have received a severe wound on the back part of the head. Her face was much con tused, and both her eyes blackened. The police were called in, and the prisoner given into custody by the de ceased. On the following day the parties appeared at this court, when the prisoner was ordered to find bail to keep the peace towards her mother. The mother, how ever never recovered from the injuries she received, and died on the morning of Thursday week. The following is the medical evidence in the case : Mr. Michael Keating O'Sheai surgeon, in Mount street, deposed that on the 4 th inst. he was called in to see the deceased, and found her face and right temple bruised. Erysipelas had commenced then, and it continued until the 7th inst., when she died. He made a post mortem ex amination next day, and found marks on the eyes and right temple, corresponding with the external bruises he had before spoken of. He also found a triangular wound on the back part of the head. communicating with a cavity under the scalp, caused by a blow. There were traces of effusion of serum under the scalp, which might have been the result of erysipelas. The witness was of opinion, from the examinations before and after death, that the deceased was a person of drunken habits, but he thought'the immediate cause of death was the violence she received She was suffering from delirium tremens when witness was first called in, and that might have caused her death, for her frame exhibited the appearance of a person of drunken habits. He thought her death was accelerated by the violence she received; but he was firmly of opinion that death would have ensued from the amount of violence received if the deceased had been in a healthy state. The wound on the back of the head he thought more likely to have been inflicted with a brick' than by a fall on the step which had been shown to him. The appearance at the back of the head might be accounted for first by a blow from a brick, and subsequently by a fall on the step. He considered that there was not a sufficient amount of delirium tremens to cause death alone separated from any other cause. Martha Foster, a little girl of nine years o f age , de posed that on the evening of the 30th ult. she saw the prisoner throw ball a brick at the back part of deceased's bead immediately before the quarrel before spoken of; and, _ _ Sarah Cross, another witness, swore to having seen the prisoner strike the deceased repeatedly in the passage. The prisoner, who - offered nothing in defence; was fully committed to Newgate 'to - take ber trial at the ensutng' sessions on a charge of manslaughter. THAMES. James Furlong, a well-known and desperate thief, was brought up on remand charged with being concerned with a woman named Julia Lenuard, who was com mitted for trial on Saturday last, in committing a daring highway robbery on Mr. W. Ebblewhite. The prisoner said he was quite innocent of any parti cipation in the highway robbery, and never saw Mr. Ebblewhite.- - Mr. BALLANTINE said, he should send the prisoner before a jury, and committed him for trial as an accessory after the fact. - ' FROM THE LONDON GAZETTE OF FRIDAY.

The average price of Brown or Muscovado Sugar, computed from the returns made in the week ending September 14 1848, is 235. 44d. per cwt. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the London New Price Current of Sept. 13.) SUGAR.— To-day a further depression took place in quotations of both Colonial and Foreign Sugar, as large parcels were pressed for sale. In West India a good business was concluded, but at low and irregular rates, and refiners were again the chief operators. The quantity sold was 650 hogsheads, &c. At auction 4 hogsheads, 71 tierces, and 70 barrels of St. Vincent's crystallized went at low rates; yellow at 36s to 40s, good 42s to 445, and low brown 32s to 33s per cwt. The total quantity of Sugar sold for the week is 2,760 hhds, &c.; the decline in prices during that time amounts to is per cwt, and the market closes with a quiet ap pearance. REFINED.—To day there was much dulness in the home trade refined market, and prices are further de pressed, standard lumps selling at 50s, and brown gro cery 49s per cwt. Bonded Crushed Sugar is much wanted, but quotations do not advance. MAURITIUS.—This afternoon the demand was not more active for Mauritius Sugar, and 2,154 bags at auction went Gd cheaper, but nearly the whole sold—fine brown 33s to 33s 6d, good 32s 6d, low 28s to 29s 6d, ordinary . yellow 348 to 34s 6d, middling 35s to 35s 6d, good 36s to 375, fine grey 37s to 37s 6d, washed 29s to 36s 6d, and syrupy 29s to 365. EAST INDIA.—This afternoon Bengal Sugar met with a dull demand, and 62 cases 1,720 bags at auction went upon lower terms by Is per cat, fine 'white Benares 42s 6d to 43s 6d, good 40s to 40s 6d, low 38s, damp and washed 38s to 435, middling sound yellow 35s to 358 6 , 1; low was taken in at 335, and good damp brown 29s to 30s. Of Penang 288 pkgs were offered, and taken is, low soft damp greyish yellow at 335. Of 297 pkgs Ceylon, a part only sold, middling greyish yellow at 34a to 34s 6d, low 335, damp and 'washed 323 to 34s per cwt. FOREIGX.—This afternoon little desire was shown to do business in Foreign Sugar by private treaty, and 166 hhds 121 barrels and 9 trcs of Porto Rico at auction went Is per cwt cheaper; fine yellow sold at 39s 6d to 41s, good 37s 6d to 19s, middling 36s 6d to 375, low 35s 6d to 36s per cwt. MoiAssEs.---Few sales have been made•by private treaty, and sellers are disposed to accept rather lower rates. At auction 100 puns of old West India were taken in at 15s per cwt; finest new will not fetch above 18s 6d. The stock is still much smaller than last year. Bengal Treacle is held for 15s to 16s, but few buyers are to be met with. COFFEE.—On the part of holders of Jamaica there is more firmness, and they have scantily supplied the mar ket this week. For inferior kinds few buyers are to be met with; still full rates are insisted upon. The sorts above low middling, however, met with mote attention, and realized stiffer rates; of fine the quantity at market is trifling. At auction 40 casks, &c. Jamaica, consisting of low to fine ord, were only in part disposed of at 24s to 32s per cwt. The public sales of Coffee declared to take place next week consist of 1,500 barrels washed Rio, 160 trcs, 340 brls, 100 bags Jamaica, 400 bags Company's Java, 3,000 bags Costa Rica, 1,000 bags, 90 casks Plantation Ceylon, and 100 bags Native. To-day there was no - public-sale,- whereas few purchases were made privately by exporters or home trade buyers. In prices there was scarcely any variation. TEA.--In consequence of large arrivals of Green, buyers_ have manifested little desire to do business this week, and sellers are inclined to accept rather lower rates. For Black there is a firm market, still the demand is not so good in consequence of the parcels come to hand, but sound common Congou is h e ld f or 8d t o Bid, an d g ood 'common 9d to 9kd per lb. Public sales will take place next week. Cocoa.—For West India the market looks firm, and little has been offered at public sale. Purchases to a fair extent have been made by private treaty upon fully for pmeerr n t w er t m . s, T re h d ere fet a c r h e in 30s to 34s is the value at:Cording to quality. g sti 3 ll 9s few RICE.—To-day there was no public sale of East India to 4 b 4 u s y , earnsd of fr Foreign,3Bs t and Rice, whilst privately scarcely any demand existed, and prices are little better than nominal; middling and good white Bengal can be obtained at I Is to 12s 6d, fine 13s to 13s 6d. SALTPETRE.—British refined is much wanted and an advance in the value is apparent, sales having been made at 29s 6d to 30s per cwt, at which there are not willing sellers. Refiners have many orders on hand, and there is an enlarged consumption. Holders of rough show much firmness, and have refrained from submitting any to public sale this week. On the part of exporters and home trade buyers much desire is evinced to operate in all sorts, whilst the rates paid are fully equal to those previously current. For Nitrate of Soda quotations remain at 13s to 13s 6d per cwt, and at which several parcels have been sold. SPIRITS.—For Leeward Island Rum the market has a dull appearance, and prices tend downwards, the sales for the week do not exceed 150 puns at Is 7d to is 8d proof, at which there is a desire to realize. East India is little wanted, and for 50 hhds is 6d have been ac cepted proof with certificate. In Jamaica few purchases have been made for home trade purposes, whilst export orders are trifling, and quotations tend downwards. The value of 21 to 28 per cent, over proof is as to 3i 3d, 30 to 38 over mid and good 3i 4d to 3s 9J, fine 3s 10d to 45 3d, and choice marks 4s 4d to 43 6d. For Demerara the market is dull, and sellers are dis posed to accept 2s 2,1 to 2s 7d for 24 to 38 per cent over proof, and 2s 8d to 2s 9d for fine. Prices are well kept up for Brandy, and there is a good trade doing chiefly for home consumption; deliveries also exceed arrivals. We quote Cognac best brands of the vintage of 1846 at 4s 10d to ss, ditto 1847, at 33 10d to 4s, inferior 2s 61 to 3s 7d, and Bordeaux 2s to 2s 6d. Geneva is selling at 2s to 2s Id for expor tation, and fine for duty at 2s 9d to 3s 6d per gallon • there is still only a small stock. For British made Spirits there is yet much fi rmness i n the market, and trade ir is brisk. SPICES.—To-day at auct i on 954 pockets and 20 bags Bengal Ginger sold at advanced rates—good bold export sort at 24s 6d to 25s 611, mid 22s 6 , 1 to 235, and da• maged 22s to 23s 6d ; 1 chest of Alice ; mid sound 2s 3d ; 2 chests Nutmegs, mid brown 2s 8d to 2s 9a, wormy 6d to Is 8d ; 5 bags white Pepper, good 44d per lb. C OCHINEAL. —Orders aro getting larger for all sorts, and holders are less disposed to realize; by private treaty several parcels have been sold upon full terms. At auction 69 bags were disposed of. INDIGO.—For public competition on Tuesday the 14th of October the quantity of East India declared is now 8,283 chests, and. the inspection has commenced. There is firmness in the market ; and a fair home and export demand exist at prices rather above those of the last quarterly auctions. Spanish is held for fully last week's rates. At auction 140 serons Guatemala were disposed of at 2s to 3s 9d for cortes and Sobres. FaUlT.—The demmailfor Currßeats bas been very limited this week, and pH - de - flare rather easier, and rule at 34s to 395. Since our last we have had five cargoes of New Valencia Raisins. The price opened at 455, at which prices they still confirm?. The grocers buy very sparingly, just sufficient to supply their immediate wants. New Sultana Raisins are selling slowly at 755. Figs 84s to 90s. TALLOW.—'Phis afternoon the public sales of Tallow went off briskly, and at stiffer rates; 133 casks Odessa sold at 46s 6d to 46s 9,1; 1,146 packages South Ameri can 45s to 46s 3d; 576 casks New South Wales 43s 9d to 478 3d; 101 casks P.

OILS —This afternoon, at auction, 191 casks Palm Oil sold at 29s to 30s 6d for mid to good, and 131 packages Cocoa Nut 39s 6d to 40s 6d per ca►t. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. Piton TIEC MORNING PAPERS OF TNIS DAY. TlMES.—There is really a gnat deal of interest to he acquired in the seizing of California, just taken by the United States. We mean that there is something very amusing in the spectacle of the most inquisitive and tenacious people in the world turned loose into a huge, mysterious, unexplored region. It is something beyond Denon and his brother savants in Egypt, and is almost equivalent to a meeting of the British Association in .Japan, with the free run of the islands. It is certain that at this moment no human being of Caucasian ex traction has any concsption of what may be discoverable on the ten degrees of the globe's surface between the Rio del Norte and the North Pacific Ocean, and it is almost as certain that in two years' time there will be a railroad right across the province, and boarding-houses at every station. It is something in these dull times to have a real true terra incognita in gore, with Americans for adventurers. The truth is, that the Colorado beats the Oxus:hollow, for there was a time when Baetriana was a civilized and accessible region enough, whereas there is no certainty that the spot of ground indicated by lat. 36, long. 112, was ever trodden by any foot but that of an Indian horse-stealer. We say no certainty, because there is mystery in the highest degree attached to this country. A blue book, stamped with all the authority of a Parliamentary warrant., positively states that independent nations, living in large Loans, and known only by report," are presumed to exist within the old domains of Mexico, and, as none such turned up the other day during the forays between Santa FA and Vera Cruz, we must conclude they lie somewhere hereabouts, if anywhere. The mystery of the reports is quite charm ing. The existence of the cities in question is not exactly so well ascertained as was that of Paradise by Sir J. Mande ville, who, " had not indeed reached the spot, but had seen the walls thereof ;" it bears rather a stronger ana logy to that of El Dorado, of which some Indians told Raleigh's sailors that they had once seen the reflection in a lake. Seriously, though, there is actually an enor mous indefinite area to bo explored, and fifty thousand adventurers ready to rout and ransack every corner of it, like the undertakers at the drawers and cupboards in Hogarth's picture of the Dead Miser. Perhaps our readers would like to learn something of the known state of California, as a point de depart from which to venture into those interesting details e'hich will no doubt reachlus by every American mail. Under the old Spa nish monarchy, Upper, or New California, was one of three provinces composing the Viceroyalty of New Spain. Its settlement, however, was limited to the establish ment of some 18 or 20 .` missions" along the coast, which were ;dedicated to the various saints whose titles still survive between Francisco and Diego, and which were calculated, with a precision and certainty attain able by none but Spaniards, to render the coloniz ition of the country altogether au impossibility. San Diego, the southernmost of these, and the point where the new American frontier will debouch upon the Pacific, was founded in 1769, before which year there was no Euro pean settlement upon the coast. Between this period and 1800 were founded the others, all on the same model, and all running the same course. The aspect of these presidios was not materially varied under the rule of the emancipated Republic. When Captain Wilkes landed at San Francisco. he found, at the chief ancho rage of this noble port, a " town," of which the consti tuent elements are thus enumerated :—" A large frame house occupied by an agent of the Hudson's Bay Company ; a store kept by an American ; a billiard-room and bar ; a poop-cabin of a ship, occupied as a dwelling by an Anglo-American captain; a blacksmith's shop, and some outbuildings." As this is decidedly the most famous colony on the coast it would be rather perverting the proverb to say "Expede Herculent," but we may probably save ourselves the trouble of describing San Carlos, or Santa Barbara, or La Purissima Concepcion. In these delightful settle. ments resides the present white population of the pro ; vince, numbering perhaps about 3.000 souls, and some 9,000 or 10,000 Indians, as it is calculated, roam abroad in the mysterious wilds of the interior. The whites are true sons of Old Spain, with everything of a Castilian but his bravery. But for the presence of certain English and Americans, the Indians would infallibly drive them into the sea. After calm observation and mature re flection, Captain Wilkes is compelled to pronounce that " they may be termed cruel to their wives, in a greater degree still to their slaves and cattle, and exceedingly ignorant of everything but extortion, riding horses, and catching bullocks." A true Yankee graft upon this valuable stock must yield a wonderful result, and we shall not be long before we see it. We described lately the precautions which have been so promptly taken to bring the new territory safely under hand, and it ap pears that the work of discovery has already commenced. At present the great attraction seems - rather in the bowels of the earth than on its surface, and hundreds of independent citizens are at work with their pickaxes, like treasure-seekers in the Hartz Mountains. Quick silver is the main object of search, and we are told, in a semi-official and perfectly serious report, of one mine, about 13 miles from San Francisco, "so rich that the gentleman who surveyed it under the directions of the Government was so much affected by salivation, that his mouth was sore for a period of ten days after he had concluded the survey." It is anticipated that quicksilver will thus be an article of as regular exporta tion from the western, as breadatuffs from the eastern coasts of the States; several mining companies are al ready established, and California is even now spoken of by Transatlantic journalists in that phrase which so at tracted Mr. Martin Cbuz.ziewit, as "one of the most re markable provinces of our country, sir." We should rather conceive doubts from the configuration of this part of the continent, whether the mineral wealth so characteristic of the great spinal plateau of Anahuac did in reality extend so far beyond its termination as to be met with in North California.' But, like the young farmers in the fable, who dug for a treasure and dis covered it in the enrichment of their farm, which had followed upon the labour bestowed, the Americans will no doubt find their account in the improvement and civilization of this hitherto unproductive country. With a territory, at least in places, highly fruitful, a climate free from the noxiousness of the opposite coast, and a temperature not otherwise than equable, they can hardly fail of a return for their labour, and, if they do not dis cover any new Peru, or any fresh variety of the human race, they will at least make a vast tract of the earth's surface subservient to the increasing wants of man. CHRONICLE.—The debate on ihe "Right to Work" pursues its dreary course in the French National As sembly—" a social, political, philosophic, metaphysical question," as M. Thiers justly termed it—" dragging at each remove a lengthened chain," the fetters of panic and misery, absence of demand, and indigence of employ ment, which, concurrently with this waste of words, are gnawing at the vitals, and festering in the life-blood of the people. " The saddest sight under the sun," said poor Burns, who spoke from experience, " is a man wil ling to work, but unable to find work." The problem, which in its solution shall find the remedy of this, we believe inevitable, evil in the courses of civilization, is as old as the world ; and it will scarcely, we fear, be deter mined in our time by the different schools of Commu nism among our neighbours. " Supposing that we affirm this right," said M. Duvergier de Hauranne, " and in a time of crisis one million, or, if you pre fer it, five hund re d thousand workmen come with this article of the constitution in their hands to exact of you their dues of work and wages, when the coffers of the State be empty, increased taxes shall bring no return, and credit shall be dead, what will yots do?" The answer has not yet been given by the Communists, nor will it ever be so, because it is impossible. It can, however, be evaded and ignored, and the Reforms be very funny in calling M. Duvergier do Hauranne a " seedy Quaker with a perpetual catarrh." The chief incidents of the debate, hitherto, have been the failure of M. Ledru Rollin, and the success of M. Thiers. Triumph and discomfiture were, however, the conditions of their relative positions. M. Ledru Rollin Was called upon, in virtue of his advanced opinions, to propose something, and he proposed nothing; how should he? M. Thiers was at liberty to criticise, analyse, expose, dissect, scarify, mangle the crotchets of his unequal opponents, and he acquitted himself, to the delight of spectators unaccustomed to skill so dexterous and assurance so inveterate. If, however, this is M. Thiers's speech for the Presidency (he has made many a discours- Ministre far better), we must confess our disappoint pointusent. He said nothing in particulars, which had not previously been said by MM. do Tocqueville and Duvergier de Huranno ; and nothing in generals, which is not ABCto us in England. Nor was he so felicitous in his hits as usual ; he made no point half so good as his lieutenant's, M. Duvergier de Hauranne, who, in re flection on M. de Lamartine's magnificent flight " that he adored property," remarked demurely, " that it was quite possible not to respect where one adored." M. Thiers's position, that the right to work necessarily in volves, and in its development leads to, slavery, is taken mediately from the Abbe Lammennais, and immedi ately from M. de Tocqueville. Itis the plain teaching of reason. If the State is to take upon itself the distribution of labour, it becomes at once, and ipso facto, arbitrary and absolute. It regulates at will, or at caprice, the fitness, the capacity, the condi tion, the fortune, the remuneration of its citizens. Th e State is master, and its component parts are slav es; i t i s a Mahomet Ali, in a nation offellahs. With what ani mation, hope, impulse, incentive, can you expect wets under such circumstances to work? " Tell a person," says M. Thiers finely, " to die for his country, and he will understand you; but tell him to weave cotton yarn for his country, or forge iron for his country, and you will see what he will answer." The merit of this illustration is its sugg est i veness ; it carries one, by no remote transition, to that objection to Communism which is instinctive in us all —that it de stroys the individuality of man. In his defence of so ciety, M. Thiers informs us that it rests upon three princlples—Propertv, Liberty, and Competition. Any other triology would have done just as well in opposition to the " Liberty, Fraternity, and Equality," of the n ew sectaries, or t h e "Faith, Elope, and Charity," o f older ones, w h om M. Thiers hates and nddespises quite as much. But the observations which he hangs upon each text, if trite, are not without their value. In reference to his first principle of property (on which his new book is in the press, this speech serving at once as its puff and preface), he showed that improvemetst is invariably proportion to the more or lese of respect in which this institution has been held. Ile cited the East, as a ease in point, in a remarkable passage:—" You will Ind there cultivation neglected and abandoned to the care of slaves, because it is the most exposed to the rapacity of despot,' ism? You will find trade preferred, because it can the Most easily hide itself from the inquisition of tyranny; perional property, gold, jewels, moveables, these things belong to commerce: you see these valuables in the hands of a proscribed race, who avenge themselves do you know how? By usury. On the othei hand, where property is respected, , and prices are regulated at their legitimate rate, land recovers its natural value, no industry is preferred more than au* other—all are alike practised according to their rumpus' ranee worth, interest falls, and the proscribed race, re: instated in its original dignity, becomes on a par +vita all the others." In his definition of liberty, M. Thief , is as bold in his zeal for the slaw gas. "By liberty, he says, " I do not mean political, but social liberty ; that of disposing one's faculties as one likes, of devoting one's energies to agriculture, manufacture, mining, as it may be; in one word, of choosing one's prolessionr Society says to a man, ' You are free, work ; work at your awn risk and peril ; it depends on yourself, if you work with application and ability, whether you shall, be rich or otherwise,'" We remember the Duke of %%el lington, in the liouselof Lords, saying much the same thing a few years ago, and being greatly abused in; the facile cant o f ph rase - r idd en Lib era l s. I t req uires such scenes as France has trav e r se d t o e d uce trut h s , a nd to feel their value. Tee third p ro p os i t i on o f M .

The industrial facts, toes (which he arrays against that sentimental pessimism still in vogue), by which he shows the great and daily augmenting amelioration in the condition of the moose!, have been entertained by all thinking po li t i c ians 1 0 England si nce th e d ays o f Arthur Young and Adam Smith. " A maid of honour," says Sir F. M. " breakfasted on roast beef, but the ploughman in those good old times, as they are called, could, I fear , only banquet on the strength of water gruel." Such is the course and the tenor of M. Thiere's argument is contrasting the demand and the wages of the day with th ose o f f if ty years ago.

Di srae li , an d am - Lefty with Lord G eorge B ent i nc k . present ADVERTISER.—PubIic attention is beginning to be turned to the approaching State trials in Ireland. Tbei will be of a much more serious character than the State trials which took place in Dublin in _1843. When O'Connell and his seven associates were arraigned at tbe, instence of Government, th e charge Was on l y one , ot sedition, and consequently, i n th e event o f conv i c tiet the punishment could not, at the worst, extend beyond a temporary imprisonment and a fine. The parties arc' cased were not only safe, so far as their necks were val, cerned, but they had not even to fear a seven year s transportation. It is otherwise with the unfortuna te men who are now about to be put on their trial. The/ are to be arraigned on the charge of high treason. 11 convicted they will be. amenable to the extreme penalty and,.in any case, cannot receive a less severe p 11 . 0 1 e % . ment than transportation for lif e . I t m i g h t be suppose that, under circumst a n ces o f so grave a nature, the pri soners, their agents and th e i r f r i en d s , woul d a ll look for' ward to the proceedings at the trial with that seriousness of mind and manner which becomes the solemn occasion' It would seem, however, that this is not the case, . 0 ° far as some of the parties are concerned. It appea rs that the agents of Mr. Smith O'B r i en h ave actually situ; pcenaed Lord John Russell to g i ve ev id ence on that gentleman's trial. Thi s mus t h ave b een done b y w ay °f joke, for every one knows that the Prime Minister Ile;: no evidence to give in connex i on w i t h the crimes wit., which Mr. Smith O'Brien is charged. All we can s e J is, that it is a wretched joke. It would be impossible tt; imagine anythin g i n worse taste. Whether or no t has directly eman a t e d f rom M r. Smith O ' Br i en , . have no means of knowing; but it must at all e vents , have received his sancti on . Th e c i rcumstance w ill be lost on the public mind. It will greatly diminis k b ' e . not entirely extingui s h, w h atever sympathy may " av ; c l been felt for that g en tl eman. If he is just now diepo s to regard the position in which he is placed as a legitireg° one for jocularity, he will change his mind before Want weeks have elapsed. This indecent levity is not confine... l to Mr. Smith O'Brien, though it has not, in the wo e :, any of the other prisoners, manifested itself in the sam e way. Mr. Duffy is described as taking a special de s light light in playing at ball in prison, whenever any °n is present, and affecting to be as light-hearted es , it' he w e r e a simpleminded th oug h t l ess b o y, full spirits, and h av i ng no id ea beyond that of how he DI most abundan t ly grat if y hi s propensity for past' el Mr. Meagher, we are told, alternately whistled, humW'. to himself some b ro k en notes of a song, and smoked h ie cigar, while th e p rocess o f reading over the indictm ent ' against him w as go i ng on. Now all this must be affected. It cann o t b e rea l . It is not in accor d a nce with human na t ure . I t i s i ndecent as well as assu med• Men of truly phil oso phi c m i nds would, in s i m il ar cir cumstances, scorn to deme a n th emse l ves i n t hi s wanner. of It has its origin in the same idea which leads a convict at the bar of the Old Bailey, when sentence of transpor tation has been passed upon him, to express a hope that the judge may remain in his seat until he returns to England, atter his " term" has expired. Real fortitude is dignified in its demeanour. It comports itself with calmness, and challenges admiration for its unobtru siveness. So far from there being real courage in the conduct of the three prisoners whose names we have mentioned, their demeanour indicates the existence and operation of the opposite feeling. They remind us of the schoolboy of Dr. Blair, who is described as " whist ling to keep his courage up" when passing through the churchyard on his way home on a dark night. With regard to the subpoenaing of Lord John Russell, not only is the thing calculated to deprive Mr. Smith O'Brien of that measure of sympathy which, with all hie follies and crimes, many persons would still have felt disposed to accord to him, but it throws an air of dig' respect around the judicial bench which every one must witness with regret. It will not only prove an infinite annoyance to the Prime Minister, but a grave truing with the seer( dness of justice. And yet, so far as we know, there is no way of preventing Mr. Smith O'Brien, or whatever other party the idea originated with, from gratifying his miserable taste. Lord John must obey th e aummons, just [teeny other person. Though it is well known to all parties connected with the judicial proceedings, th at the Noble Lord has no evidence to give vvbich can affect the result of the trial one way or other, no one has the power to release him from the obligations which the law im poses upon him to be present. It would be impossible to conceive a greater abuse of the right to call whatever witnesses an accused party pleases than is furnished, il l this case. The su bj ect i s one which may, possibly, 'de; mend the attenti on o f t h e Legislature before the close of the coming session. If so, it is to be hoped that Parliament will not run to the other extreme. There l 5 a danger of this. Nothing is more common than to see. that right should be entirely the abuse of a right or privilege urged as an argumen' why the privilege altogether withdrawn,.ll3 or done away with, any such result in the case in question • but a re P°S ; we without our apprehensions that should the Legislature take up the question, it may, in its anxiety te We do not expect preveL 4 persons being called to give evidence who notoriousli have none to give, enable persons to absent themselves from trials in courts of justice whose evidence may be of essential importance to the case of the prisoners.
