The reactionaires, and, conspicuous amongst there ; our Tory Contemporaries, affect a very pretty, lady like horror of what they are pleased to call Demo cratic Terrorism. They shudder at it, as the waiting woman in " Tom Jones " shuddered at the pattering of a mouse in the wainscot. They are of that class of political exquisites whom HAZLITT scorned so mag nificently in his great prose epic of " Napoleon " men who hate " the look of the people, the touch of the people, the smell of the people, the dress of the people." LYDIA LANGUISH was not near so lacka daisical as these petit-maitres of Absolutism. They shrink from the invigorating influences of liberty, and find comfort only in the compulsory quietude, the mediocrities, the stagnation, and the torpor which are the results produced by a despotic Government. In those beautiful revelations of patriotism which constitute the principal portion of the autobiography of General GualamLuo PEPE, it is observed by the Neapolitan memorialist that the mass of a population accustomed to tyranny prefers the certain severities of an armed force and a rigorous administration to an insurgent rabble. No matter how magnanimous the conduct of that rabble; the terrors caused by the fitful character of its movements are less endurable to this degraded class of citizens than the sternest ' 'atrocities committed by the soldiers of a despot. This fact was proved in 1820 at Palermo, and in 1848 at Naples. It conveys a truth of such eternal exist ence, that it might be reduced to an aphorism. And the reason of its existence is simply this—that people whose souls cannot rise above the dead level of L. S. D.—men whose intellects are incapable of appreciating the blessedness of freedom—men whose hearts have never been thrilled with the aspirations of civism, of knowledge, or of civilization—look more to the balancing of their ledgers, and the scoring up of fresh orders upon their day-books than to the attain ment of their liberties or the acquisition of a constitution. Had these been the sentiments of our forefathers the great Revolution of 1688 had never tasked the eloquence of BABINGTON MACAULAY. Thanks be to heaven ! it is otherwise with the majority, and nations will still continue to struggle for their emancipation, notwithstanding that in so doing they are liable to create a momentary panic in th e markets, to frighten a few old women (of both sexes) into hysterics, and to fill the str ee t s w i t h that tumult and disorder' which are inevitable upon the occasion of a Popular victory. It is rather unfortunate,by the way, that in proof of the horrors of this shouldm e" Democratic Terrorism,', our Contemporaries pointed the finger of abhorrence at Berlin mad Democratic of a ' assassination because, with the exception It is unfortunate, moments (perpetrated in the distraction the conduct of the Berliners an ev il intervals in which they held undisputed possession d uring the Possession o f those two capitals was beyond all eulogium, in gard to its probity, its generosity, its gentleness, and its magnanimous forgetfulness of vengeance. c oll _ treated with the fiendish brutalities of the Imperial troops, the behaviour of the mob throughout the time of their triumph was sublime for its lenity and self possession. And the recollection of the death of LA* 'roux was effaced by the murder of BLUM, by the sacrifice of MESSENHAUSER, and by the wholesale massacre of students, and poets, and journalists, and civilians, who expiated in a premature and ignominious grave the crime of having dreamed the holy dream of Freedom. Even according to the acknowledgments made by the counter-revolutionists, the order preserved at Vienna after the expulsion of the EMPEROR and before the arrival of the Croats, is described as having been something marvellous. At ' a time when the dregs of society were shaken to the surface, trinkets could lie about in the kennels with out being stolen—as is proved by an anecdote men tioned in one of the contributions to the current num ber of Bentley's Miscellany. On the return, however, of the Imperial forces under Prince WINDISCII- GRATZ, aided by Baron JELLAcmcn, the spectacle presented was, as the whole world knows, very dif ferent- Atrocities as gigantic as any ever committed under the sinister orders of FougutEtt TIN VILLE were reiterated in the capital of Austria with the sandier!, if not at the immediate instigation, of the Ith idr,i.arommander-in-Chief. And yet after all tOeriences we are told of the beneficence of Absolute authority, and of the miseries consequent upon " Democratic Terrorism." Although the misrepresentations of the reaction aires would lead the contemporary multitude to imagine otherwise, posterity will perceive, through .the impartial records of History, that the revolutionary movements of 1848 have, in the majority of instances, emanated from the convictions and the patriotism of the better class of citizens. The people who revolted against the French monarchy in February were identical in sentiment and principle with the people who subsequently rose in arms at Milan, at Berlin, at Vienna, at Pestb, and throughout Posen. On the other hand the rabble who fought behind the barri cades of June, were the same in atrocity and the same in ferocity with the murderers who desecrated the precincts of the Eternal City and stormed the palace of the Quirinal. No event since the first dawning of civilization has done so much injury to the sacred cause of Democracy as that which has rendered the Roman mob the opprobrium and horror of Christendom. The insults inflicted by them upon the venerable person of Pope Pius IX. are enough to deter any monarch from ever again spontaneously bestowing the blessings of political emancipation upon his subjects. The dignity of humanity, the reputa tion of democracy, the reverence for virtue, the admiration fur gentleness, the homage for genius, the respect for misfortunes, all plead with a persuasive ness beyond that of earthly eloquence for the solace of Pio Nom) in his exile and the repu diation of the Roman ruffians in their success. The voice of loathing which has resounded over Europe must have penetrated before this into the council chambers of the Government of Assassins installed in the city of the Pontificate. That voice is filled with the augury of their downfal, and until the downfal of the bloodstained Socialists of Rome the fame of Democracy will require some signal vindication. We yesterday spoke of the reclamation of the waste lands in Ireland a,liseing one of the plainest and most obvious of the rei...Mial measures for that country. It is no new suggestion; many years since it was pressed upon the Government and the Legislature, and it has been since advocated with the utmost zeal and perseverance by men who have maturely considered the condition of the sister kingdom, and traced her misfortunes and sufferings to the true sources. There is no doubt or difficulty about the matter. Every necessary inquiry has already been instituted, and we possess the fullest and most authentic information respecting the localities of the lands susceptible of improvement, the nature of the works to be undertaken, the amount of the expenditure re quired for their reclamation, the time within which they could be brought into cultivation, and the pro bable value of the reclaimed lands. Mr. RICHARD GRIFFITH, a gentleman whose very name will give authority to any statement, has reported fully and explicitly on all these points. He has shown that as a mere speculation it would be of a most profitable character. Ten per cent. is the estimated return in the more favourable localities, and the whole of the outlay would be applied (with the exception of such sums as may be paid to the proprietors for the fee simple of the lands) in the payment of wages to able bodied labourers, who are now burdens on the re sources of the country, in place of being the creators of national wealth. One obstacle, however, intervenes that has hitherto proved insuperable, and which cannot be surmounted without the aid of the Legislature, viz., the compli cation of legal titles, the difficulty of ascertaining that the lands can be conveyed to those willing to undertake their reclamation without the 'risk of being subsequently deprived of the legitithate fruits of 'their enterprise and industry. The nominal proprietor would gladly dispose of his interest therein. With crippled means and restricted powers, he could never himself hope to drain bogs or reclaim mountains. Whatsoever he might receive, either in the shape of purchase-money for the sale of the fee and inheritance of the lands, or of rent on a long lease, would be so much saved, a new source of income opened to him. He would be delighted to el-operate in any man ner, but the law interposes a barrier. He has but an estate for life, or some other limited interest in the lands. The remainder-man cannot be bound by any act of his ; and thus the system of entailing and tying-up lands practically prevents their ameliora tion, and operates most prejudicially upon the welfare of the community in general. The lands may also be mortgaged, or otherwise encumbered ; any lease or other conveyance that might be made would be subject 'to these de• mands, so that no sane person would embark his capital in a speculation where he might be deprived of the beneficial results thereof from contingencies wholly beyond his own control. Under the most favourable circumstances, even supposing the pro perty to be wholly free from entail, charge, or in cumbrance, considerable costs would be incurred in preparing the abstract of title, making the necessary searches, and conducting the other inquiries that might be deemed essential. These impediments have hitherto prevented any extensive reclamation of waste lands by private enterprise; save in the rare instances where the owner of the soil is himself enabled to undertake the necessary outlay, nothing can be done. Of course cases may occur, and we rejoice to say have occurred, in which individual proprietors have, by their own energy and perseverance, converted barren wastes into arable and pasture lands. But those constitute the exception, and not the rule, and few Irish land lords possess means sufficient to venture upon the experiment. This difficulty can only be overcome by a bold and comprehensive law, enabling the nation to take possession of the lands lying waste and un cultivated, whenever the nominal proprietor declines to undertake the reclamation thereof within a certain limited time, compensation should of course be given to the former owner, either in money, or in a certain fixed annual rent payable thereout for ever. This compensation might be assessed by a jury selected and impanelled, as in cases of property taken for railway purposes. One objection only can be made to such a course is impolitic to interfere with private property. And this has been suffered to prevail amongst those whom Mr. RIGHT WASON so properly terms "one-eyed men ;" so that a course,. which is as equitable and just as it is wise and expedient, is retarded by the obsti nate adherence to an abstract principle, which is certainly sound in itself, but to which there are many exceptions. If a precedent were required for such a course it might be found in the power given to every railway company to take lands, against the will of the owner, for the construction of the line, the due development of the traffic, or even the mere convenience of the company. If land that has been improved to the highest degree, that has been built upon—and which may, perhaps, be deemed by the owner indispensable to the full enjoyment of the residue of his property in that locality—maybe thus taken possession of, notwith standing the strenuous opposition of the proprietor, because the interests of the community in general demand the sa cr ifi ce , sure l y i t is a much slighter i w n:ras i ? n o f t h e rights of property to insist that those smh n i o juhl have b y se e ueror n ne o nv t de complied retre rtheo tthe e with the conditi ons u p on Which th e i r title was originally conferred—who have suffered l ands to d em t am waste and unp ro d uc ti ve th at most beneficial purposes— the privile ges they havr e ights they h ave di sregarded, be e m o n i f s e a r p r p e l d i e d u p t o o n t h m e o r S e t a e t e n , e r i n . g persons the f u ll and fair value order that they m ay getie and deservin Parties to w h om the therof being first paid by the new e title may be given. The first step to be taken ass oann Acttha appointingre• assembling o f c orn . Parliament should be to pass missioners, who should be authorised to take Posses sion of all lands remaining waste an d uncultivated - . The Commissioners should be empowered to sanction all sales or leases of land for the purposes of reclarna tiun ; and such acts should, after their approval, be wholly unimpeachable. They should also, on the petition of any persons who gave proper security to reclaim the lands, be enabled to make a conveyance thereof upon the value assessed by a jury as hereinbefore-men tioned being paid to the present proprietor. If such a course were adopted, companies and individuals would be induced to invest their capital in under takings that would afford the fairest prospect of re munerating profits ; while more might and should be done by the State itself in furtherance of this most desirable object. THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING-, DECEMBER 6, 1848.: THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. The Moniteur du Soir announces that the POPE had arrived at Gaeta on the 25th ult., and that the King of NAPLES and the Royal Family had repaired to Gaeta to pay their respects to his HOLINESS. The news was transmitted by telegraph from Marseilles, and was the substance of a dispatch from the French Minister at Naples. We find the following in the Pressi:—" A rumour was current last night that the Grand Duke of TUSCANY has fled from Florence and left his States. We give this news without in any way guaranteeing its exactitude, but which unfortunat e ly, s i nce th e en trance of M. GUERRAZI to the Ministry, is far from being unlikely." The National says—"We can announce that the place in which the conferences between the mediating Powers and Austria are to be opened is definitively known. It is Brussels which has been proposed, and accepted by a common accord." There were three Socialist banquets held on Sun day in Perim. The first was at Grenelle, and was presided Gver by Count D'ALTON SILEE, who made a speech, in which he called kings thieves, pillagers, and assassins of their people. Referring to the recent discussion in the Assembly, he said that the people would not forget that CAVAIGNAC and LEDRU ROLLIN had endeavoured to prove that they each took the promptest and most energetic measures to repress what they called the insurrection, and cause the blood of their brethren and children to flow. He concluded by expressing regret, and blaming the duel between PROUDHON and FIAT. There were about 800 per sons present. The second banquet was held at Sevres. MM. LEDRU ROLLIN, PROUDION_, and FELIX PYAT were prese n t. M. LEDRU ROLLIN urged the necessity of carrying out the revolution to its full consequences, and proposed that, instead of calling themselves by different names, all those who agreed with him in opinion on that point should call themselves Revolutionists. A third banquet was held at the Barriere du Maine, and was attended by 1,800 persons of both sexes. The delegates of the Socialist democrats in Paris have declared in favour of LEDRU ROLLIN as candi date for the Presidency of the Republic. The seamen on board the ships forming the French squadron at Naples, consisting :of two ships of the line and three steam-frigates, have given their votes for the President. Of the number, 620 have been given for General CAVAIGNAC, 303 for LOUIS NAPOLEON, and 361 for M. AR AGO . The latter gen tleman, it will be remembered, was Minister of the Marine under the Provisional Government. M. Lucius BONAPARTE has been elected Deputy to the National Assembly for Ajaccio. Upwards of 2,000 of the National Guards of the 7th Legion, headed by their Colonel, waited on Gene ral CAVAIGNAC on Sunday and presented to him the following address : " Citizen Chief of the Executive Power,—As organ of the feelings of the 7th Legion, I come as the bearer ot the expression of its fraternal sympathies, and at the same time of its adhesion to the sentiments of the Na tional Assembly, so well expressed by the venerable Dupont (de I'Eure) in the sitting of the 25th u l t ., w h en the Ass-ably again proclaim e d before France and the whole world that in the events of June, 1848, GenarAl Eugene Cavaignac bad deserved well of his country." The General, whose appearance was welcomed by a unanimous cry of" Vive Cavaignac," made the following reply:— " Monsieur le Colonel and dear fellow-citizens of the 7th Lesion—.l thank you for this effusion of your feel ings towards me. On a recent occasion, when I had to thank my fellow-citizens of other legions for similar de monstrations, I told them that however good my cause might be, I had found iu the declaration of the National Assembly sufficient recompense and encouragement. Yes, it is an encouragement to every good citizen to be able to say to himself, that where he acts with sigh t loyalty and justice, public feeling is always sure to go with him. Yes, every man unjustly attacked for his acts may be certain to find, on the day when he shall justify himself, an echo in the country and in the hearts of his fellow-citizens.—(Loud acclamations.) I repeat, I thank you for this manifestation. But however precious such a testimony may be to ms, it adds nothing, and can add nothing, to my complete and absolute devotedness to the nation and to the Republic. "It is certainly a sweet recompense—but once more I say that devotedness is and will remain absolute and proof against every trial. Vive la Republique." This cry :was repeated with enthusiasm by all pre sent, mingled with that of " Vive Cavaignac." M. CLEMENT THOMAS has published a letter stating that, having exercised the command of the National Guard on June 23d, until obliged to withdraw from it on account of being wounded, he thinks it right to declare that the orders which he gave were not inde pendent of the plan of General CAVAIGNAC, and hence that the plan of defence against the insurrection did not exclude the National Guard. An electional committee, composed of delegates chosen in thirty electoral sections of the third arron dissement, sat on Saturday to discuss the claims a the different candidates for the Presidency of the Re public. The number of delegates present was 89. The votes were as follows :—For General CAVAIGNAC, 75 ; LEDRU ROLLIN, 6 ; LOUIS BONAPARTE, 5 blank votes, 3. The Gazette des Tribunaux says—" The Prefect of Police has given very severe orders in consequence of certain rumours which have been current respecting clandestine depots of arms and ammunition. A rigorous surveillance is exercised in several quarters of Paris, which have been particularly signalised to the authorities." In the course of the sitting of the National As sembly yesterday, General CAVAIGNAC made the fol lowing communication : " We have already had the honour of informing you that we have received a telegraphic dispatch, from which it appeared that the Pope had left Rome in the night, between the 24th and 25th, for Gaeta, and that the Mignare had left Civita Vecchia, under the order of OUT ambassador at Rome, to go to Gaeta. That dispatch also indicated on the part of the Pope the intention of coming to France. I wish now to give an account to the Assembly of what has happened since. I remind the Assembly that, in the course of the 26th, orders were given by telegraph for the collection of troops at Marseilles. These orders did not reach Marseilles till the evening of the 29th. It was only on the 29th that M. de Corcelles left Paris. He reached Marseilles on the 30th. Oa the 2d of December a dispatch reached Mar seilles from our Ambassador at Naples, announcing to us the arrival of the Pope at Gaeta, and the departure of the King of Naples to meet him in that port. On this news, which gave him the certainty of the presence of the Pope at Gaeta, M. de Corcelles started from Mar seilles for Gaits, in order that he might, as soon as possible, place kimself in communication with the Pope. On the night of the 2d, M. de Corcelles had already started, and the troops were still in the port of Mar seilles. We have dispatches of the 2d December, which state that they are still moored if, the roads. As soon as the Government learnt that tho Pope was no longer threatened in his person, it understood that the departure of the troops had become useless. It had already sent a telegraphic dispatch to M. de Corcelles to prevent all misunderstanding. That dispatch set forth the conduct which he was to pursue, according to circumstances. A dispatch, by which we ordered the troops not to start, could not be dispatched till this morning." He closed by remark ing that these different delays were occasioned by the state of the weather. Some of the dispatches sent by telegraph bad only reached the Government by post. He concluded with the following words:—" I now re sume the present position of things. It is certain that the Pope left Rome on the night of the 24th to the 25th. It:is also certain that he arrived at Gaeta in the course of the following day, and that he has been there joined by the King of Naples. We also know that M. d'Har court, who left Rome on the same day, has taken the Terme from Civita Vecchia to carry him to Gaeta. Be sides this, we know that M. de Corcelles has started from Marseilles, to join the Pope at Gaßa, and that an aviso has also sailed from that port for the same port. We have no later news."

AUSTRIA. In the course of the sittin g of the Diet at Krem sier on the 27th, M. RIEGER rose, and accused the Deputies who had remained at Vienna of high treason. He made some remarks on the subject of the recent martial executions at Vienna, and highly lauded the Bann JELLACHICH. N. SCHUSELICA said that he considered it-ine to his dignity, and that of his colteagues, to reply to the speech of N.

He set aside the innocence or the cullity of Buns', and considered the case in a nrere#eTolitical point of - view. The President requested that these questawis should be given him in writing, promising to give, a reply, ikt with a detail of the motives. The Alllgemeinc Zeitung of the Ist Decethber says that the Government intends to impeach 'l2 of the Deputies, and among them President Smoix2k. PRUSSIA. The Prussian National Assembly was adjourned on the Ist December to the Thursday following. The meetings and conferences of the, Deputies of the Opposition being prohibited by the military, they have resolved to hold them at Brandenburg," in order to he beyond the state of siege. The garrison of the city had been reinforced by a battalion of the Landwehr of Pomerania.. It was generally believed that the conmuence of the hostile spirit manifested at the last sitting of the Chamber, by the Opposition, would be a dissolution. BERLIN, DEc. 4.—The Prussian Staats Anzieger of this date contains an address from the members of the Right and Right Centre of the National Assem bly, asxembled at Brandenburg, to the inhabitants of Prussia. It is as follows : " TO THE COUNTRY. " Once before on these eventful times we have ad dressed ourselves to you, inhabitants of the kingdom of Prussia. You have received our word willingly, and the result has justified you in confiding in us; now, also, confidence and union alone can serve the country.

DETENTION OF TUE MAIL.—FLOODS ON THE RAIL. WAY.—The mail from the south, which should have arrived in Edinburgh early yesterday morning, did not reach the General Post-office until about two o'clock in the afternoon; and the London mail duo at two o'clock, did not come into Edinburgh until nearly four. The delay, we understand, was occasioned by floods, which have carried away two bridges, one near Leamington, the other near Crawford besides nearly filling up one of the cuttings on the line of the Caledonian Railway, with the earth swept on the line by the floods. The country all around is under water. The railway company have made prompt arrangements for clearing the line and keeping open the course for passengers, so that the de tention for the present will not be great, and it may b 1 expected to be altogether removed in a day or two.— Edialturo Advertiser, 4, MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were est-- mated at 4,000 bales, consisting of about 3,500 Ameri can; 100 Egyptian realised sid.; 400 Surat 24d. to 3id.; and 40 Sea Islands at Bd. to 10/l. per lb. The market was firm. There were 700 bales on speculation. For Railway Shares a better feeling existed, and prices had en improved tendency. The mail from Germany does not bring any alteration in the rate of exchange on London, which continued at 13 9. Money was easy, and a fair business was doing in stocks and shares. The commencement of the provision business in the United States is always an important time for the large number of persons interested, on both sides of the At lantic, and as this branch is likely to receive great ex tension annually, the following notices of the prepara tions making for the ensuing season will be interesting. The Buffalo Advertiser states that " packing opera tions of beef and pork have been commenced in the towns where they are usually pursued, on the north western lakes, on the upper Mississippi, on the Ohio, on the Cumberland, the Illinois, &c. The prepara tions generally, so far as we observe have been made with a v i ew t o a large business; still the common impression seems to be that there will be a good deal less provision packing done this year than was done last. This will depend very much, however, we suppose, upon the prices paid ; for th e country is understood to be full enough of both hogs and cattle, and if good prices are held out early in the season, as an inducement for drovers to make contracts, me- they. will doubtless be brought in." The :Cincinnati Gazette says of the business there and elsewhere-" In this city the business will be active so soon as the weather shall become a little colder, and finally, large. To the present time about 8,500 head of hogs have been slaughtered, and about 2,000 head of cattle. The current prices of the former are about 3 dolls. 15c. to 3 dolls. 25c., and of the latter 3 dolls to 4 dolls 24c. In Louisville operations com menced the first part of this week, and about 1,500 head of hogs were slaughtered by two establishments the first, second, and third days ; the last quotation published is 3 dolls. 25c. per 1001bs. net, but buyers were unwilling to meet these figures for any further lots." The St. Louis Republican, of the 4th instant, has the following notice of the commencement of operations in that city :-" Yesterday, the first cutting of hogs for packing was made. At the pork-house of the Sigersons between 90 and 100 heads were received and cut, and their purchases for two or three days past have amounted to 400 or 500 head, and at a range of 2 dolls. 50c. to 3 dolls., according to size and condition. They have also purchased, and are now engaged in cutting and packing 160 head of very fine cattle, for which they contracted to pay 3 dolls. 250. per 1001bs. net. At the establishment of the Messrs. Ames, quite an active business is going on in tbis line. During the past week they have purchased between 250 to 300 head, ranging in price from 3 dolls. to I dolls. 50c. At the new and extensive packing house of Clarkson and Morgan, we found rather more doing than could have been expected at the commence. ment. On Thursday they commenced operations and during the day cut 244 bead of hogs. Yesterday they were employed with a lot of 500, which, it was supposed, would be completed, and ready for the barrels before night. "At this early day it is almost impossible to speak, with any degree of certainty, in regard to the price de. mended, or the number that will be slaughtered and put up during the present winter ; but we are assured that the most extensive preparations have been entered into, and, without doubt, better and greater facilities are now offered to the farmer drover, and speculator, than have over been known during any previous season since the commencement of the business in this city. " We hear that there are already orders in the market for between 25,000 and 30,000 bead, but the limits to which purchasers, as it is supposed, will confine them tielves at present will be dollars 2.50 to dollars 2.75, turning on 200 pounds; in fact there appears to be a general disinclination on the part of purchasers to ex ceed these figures, and it is confidently asserted by many that dollars 2.75 will be the outside range for all large contracts for packing purposes." The Money Market is looking well again to. day, . although, as usual after a rise, there has been a slight change in the Funds. Yester day afternoon the Bears commenced buying in their accounts, and this with the stimulus of money pur chases caused a rise from 87i I to 88 and 88i, For some days past it has been apparent that opinion ran in favour of higher prices, and that the speculators for a fall, anticipating that the elections might go in favour of General Cavaignac, and that thegreat influx of specie with the favorable Bank returns would induce money purchases were endeavouring to hedge off. Hence recourse was had to "puts," and operations for a rise were entered into. Present appearances are certainly favourable, but whether any unexpected contingencies will arise it is impossible to say. Consols opened to-day at 88k 1, being done at the highest quotations; but upon the Chancery broker and one or two other parties appearing as sellers, a reaction has occurred to 87i i. Bank Stock is firm at 190. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 86i i. Exchequer-bills (June) have been 38s. to 41s. premium. The Foreign Securities have been wholly neglected. Mexican have been done at 20f. Belgian Four-and-a- Half per Cents. are 70i to 71. Spanish Three per Cents. are about 24f to 25. Railway Shares have been very firm, and although the business done is not extensive, higher prices have been obtained for North-Western, Eastern Countie s , South-Eastern, the York 'and other lines.

The further arguments in this appeal occupied his Lordship the whole morning. ROLLS' COURT-(THIS DAY.) TULK V. HOXHA Y. The arguments in this part-heard motion were re sumed this morning, and occupied his Lordship th e Master of the Rolls the greater part of the day. The case came before the Court yesterday, upon ° motion to dissolve an i n j unct i on, w hi ch was granted ill October last, to prevent Edward Moxhay from destroy' ing the iron railings round Leicester-square, and also to restrain him from doing any act to destroy the garden as a pleasure -ground, and also from cutting down the trees, and building upon the ground. It appeared that in 1808 the site of the square was conveyed by Charles Augustus Tulk to Charles Elms, in, consideration of a sum o f 2101., an d t h e d eed conta i ne d a covenant by Mr. Elms, for himself and his heirs, to - keep the garden in its then form, and to allow the flubs' bitants, upon their paying for keys, to use the garden. No keys had been applied for during a great number Of years, and the square had not been used as a pleasure' ground. It was also overrun with weeds, and the rail° ings were broken. The piece of land, in the meantime, had passed through several hands, and was purchased in August, 1848, by Edward Moxhay, the present owner, for 415/. He desired to vary the site, and claimed right to build upon the land. In October last he sent workmen upon the ground, who began to take down the railing, upon which the present bill was filed, and the in" junction now sought to be dissolved was obtained; and it was now insisted either that the injunction ought. to be dissolved, or that the case ought to be put in such If course as would d e cid e w h et h er the covenant entere d into by Charles Elms in 1808 was binding upon Edward Moxhay, the defendant. Mr. ROUNDELL PALMER appeared for the defendant Moxhay, and contended that the injunction ought to be absolutely dissolved. Mr. TURNER and Mr. SHEBBEAR were in support v• the continuance of the injunction. - The further arguments occupied the Court the whole morning. V ICE - CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) (Before the VICE•CHANCELLOR of ENGLAND.) THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. THE EARL OF STANFORD' The further arguments in this part-heard case °ow pied the Court the whole day, and appear likely to do a° for several days to come. The only question in the case is whether the masters of the Grammar-school of Maw chester are to he permitted to receive boarders, and if s° whether such boarders were to be allowed to participate in the benefits which had been conferred upon the charity. Mr. BETIIELL resumed and concluded his opening of the case, which has already occupied the Court two days , this morning. Mr. MALENs and Mr. BALDWIN followed on the same side, on behalf of the relatives. The Solicitor. General and Mr. Wray appear for the Attorney. General, and Mr. J. Parker and Mr. BagshaWe for the noble defendant. (Before the Vice-Chancellor KNIGHT BRUCE.)

QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY•) (Sitting at Nisi Prius.) The Court was occupied the whole of the morning in trying the case of "Merritt v. `gotten," which possesse d no feature of general interest. EXCHEQUER. —(THIS DAY.) (Before the CHIEF BARON,) THE HOPE JEWELS.—HAR3IOUR v. HOPE. This ease, which was partly heard yesterday, was re sumed at the sitting of the Court. It was an issue from the Court of Chancery to try to whom a quantity of jewels, of the value of 20,0001., be•' long. The plaintiff'•' is the executor of the late Mr. Hope' but the real plaintiff is Mr. Henry Thomas Hope, 31. 1 "' for Gloucester ; the defendant is his youngest brother, Mr. Alexander Beresford Hope, both of whom are nephews of the late Mr. Henry Philip Hope. The jury, a special one, found a verdict for the tiff, to whom the jewels will, we imagine, be at once handed over. COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS BAY.) ,Before Mr. Justice CRESS WELL and a Common Jury•) SELE V. BODY. This was an action to recover compensation, in chi; wages, for injuries which the c hild o f t h e p l a i nt iff bad sustained by being run over by the van of the defendant. The plaintiff is a porter, and a Per son in a humble sphere of life. The defer' dant is a carter in an extensive way of business, Whilst his car was passing through Locks'-fields, W3l - about six months ago, one of the wheels ran over the knee of the child, who is of very tender age, au" who will, in all probability be a cripple for the re" mainder of his life. It appeared that the child an d others were in the habit of playin g i n th e s t ree t ; an d it was contended on the part of the.defendant that the child ran against the wheel, and so brought the injury it had received upon itself. A great deal of evidence was adduced on both sides. The jury, after a long consultation, fuund a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 101. • SECONDARIES'.—(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Secondary JAMES.)

CORN EXCHANGE —WEDNESDA Y; The quantity of English Wheat received up to our market coastwise. since Saturday last, has not exceeded 630 quarters. Fresh up to-day, scarcely any samples reached us from any quarter. There were very few buyers in attendance, yet most of the English Wheat brought forward was disposed of, at prices fully equal W those paid on Monday. Scarc‘ly any Foreign What has come to hand this week. Really fine parcels were in moderate reques t, at f u ll rates of currency. The middling and inferior kinds were almost nominal W value. The supply of Barley was small. Most descrir tions moved off steadily, and lite prices were firmly sue' ported. We had a very slow inquiry for Malt. In prices', however, we have no c h ange to not i ce. Most kinds 0 ' oAts, the supply of which was small, moved off slowly at late rates. Beans, Peas, Indian Corn, and Flour were much neglected, y e t we cannot quote them cheaper. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. I Oats. 630 qrs. 2,340 qrs. 1,050 qrs.
