a s - n - Denbighshire Mr. Bagot has defeated - Mr. Bid -4610h, the late Radical Member, and that county has now returned all Conservatives. Our factious con temporaries render the highest tribute to the talent, elo quence, and worth of Sir George Murray, when they express their delight at the issue of the late contest in Perthshire. We should indeed be guilty of the gross est affectatio n did we suppress our 'deep regret at the choice of the electors of that county, who, influenced by accusations triumphantly refuted, and charges pro tected from refutation by their vagueness, have elected an unknown man (the son of a Nobleman, certainly not distinguished by any of the attributes which Ove importance and respectability to rank), instead of one of the most eminent indivi duals in the living biography of Scotland. We have no doubt this important victory will be the string on which the Radical journals will harp for many days to come. They very judiciously overlook Shrop shire, Leicestershire, and Essex, .where a Destructive did not dare to show his face, and point to the in stance of Perthshire, where Radical gold and Radi cal bluster have gained a temporary success. Are our contemporaries aware that the influence of the Whig Marquis of Breadalbane is potential in the county of Perth ? Are they cognizant of the fact that, emu lating the example of his Grace of Devonshire and his Lordship of Durham, the consistent Peer.in question, deprecating of course all undue influence, and ready to disfranchise any town in which the little finger of a Conservative Pe er h as b een move d on behalf of order and good Government, has thrown the entire weight of his loirs into the Destructive scale ? Our contemporaries must know all this, inasmuch as the parasites and followers of the Noble Marquis do not sound their trumpets very gentle upon the occasion in honour of his Lordship as a liberal and high-spirited friend of the people. As to the hope which our con temporaries seem to indulge, of keeping Sir George Murray out of the House of Commons, we advise - them not to lay that " flattering unction to their souls." Vacancies in the reirasentation are sure to occur, and we do not believe -there is another constituency in the United Kingdom (save, of course, the metropolitan districts, and the O'Connell boroughs in the sister country) which wowed not gladly receive the Right Honourable Gentleman, and entrust with confi dence their riohts and privileges to his care and ability. Sir George Murray has done more for the civil and religious liberties of the nation during . his Parliame n t ar y career than can reasonably be expected from Mr. Fox Maple, should his years extend to the period of the return of the Whigs to power, a apace likely, we imagine, to afford him ample opportunity for the requisition of experience. We are inclined to attribute the result of the Perthshire elec tion chiefly to the confidence of the Conservatives, who, knowing their .strength, did not anticipate an opposition, while the Destructiaes were secretly and stealthi.ly. at work. The failure in Perthshire will indeed be productive of much good, should it rouse the lovers:of their King and country to a due sense of the necessity of union, activity, and energy, to coun teract the indefatigable and unceasing exertions of their revoluti.onery opponents. We regret to find th , :. the talents and acquirements of Mr. Escott are -faorat,, pre sent lost to the country in the Pr°Per. sphere for their full development—the 'House of i2ommons. We can not understand what the %m ere o f the western division of Somersetshire are about. While the yeomen of the eastern portion of that county have vindicated their independetoc e a n d chosen as one of their Representa tives Me. Miles. a true friend of the agricultural cause, dee electors of the western division have again intrusted the care of their interests to Messrs. Tynte and Sand ford, the former of whom is only known as an invete rate Radical, the latter conspicuous from having played fast and loose on every possible occasion. Per haps the electecs were enamoured of the consistency of Sir Thomas Leihbridee, whose perpetual boxing of the political compass has for the present terminated in the recommendation of the aforesaid Gentlemen to the constituency of Scinersetshire. Had talent, prin ciple, andintegrity been duly. appreciated, Mr. Escott would have been at the head of the poll.-21forn. Post. The accounts front Jamaica continue to be of a very unsatisfactory nature. In the Chronicle of Thursday, we gave an account of some proceedings of the Colonial Government, from which it appears that . its different branches ;ire in a state of considerable dis ution. The report of the Committee of the House (if Assembly, appointed to inquire into . the state of the Colonv,gi gives a gloom y , and indeed alarmi ng view of the aspect of things. The general conclusion at yahich the . Comnemittee arrive, is, •". that the fie : W` system is. not succeeding." They say that the hours of work fixed by the Abolition Act are inadequate to enable the cultivation of the country to be continued —.that the negroes are performing no fair pro portion of work during even these limited hours— that idleness and contempt of authority are clairy. becoming More apparCnt and alarming—and that, the. crops are . in danger of being lost, to a considerable extent, from the want of cultivation . and care. For these evils, they propose several remedies, the first and chief of which is the appoint ment " of a more numerous and competent Magis tracy, possessing local experience and knowledge, to I preseree order, repiess crime, and enforce industry." They further 'recommend amendments in the law, de fining more accurately the relative duties of master and apprentice ; and regulations as to the time of labour, so as to secure the safe gathering in of the great staple' of the island, the sugar crop. This Committee,- in the Course of their proceedinaa, examined a number of 'Missionaries and others, whom they summoned from 'different - parts of the island. These examinations, it appears, were taken upon- oath ; a course of pro ceeding which, if not absolutely illegal, is, at all events, quite unusual in the case of a mere inquiry under the authority of a body exercising a legis : lative, not a ;udicial, function. One of the Piaptist .Missionary..; :as summoned, declined to submit to • an examination upon oath, and • wate committed to prison by the House of Assetra'a ly for a breach of privilege. A file of the Jar;saica Watchman which we have just received, coP:ains the details of this affair, which seen) to have created a great sensation in the .island. It appear' s from the statements in the above paper, that Mr, Abbott, the missionary in question, obeyed the :Ammons of the Committee to attend them at SpauiF,ln Town, where they were sitting ; and, while trziiting to be called before them, received information' that the Chairman of the Committee had received an affidavit containing matter of criminatory import against re him. On being called before the Committee, and the se" oath being tendered him, he refused to take it, accom 4*-. ponying his refusal with the following reasons, in %arising :—" First, I decline taking the oath, as I do slot conceive the Committee to be a judicial authority ; second, I conceive it to be. absurd and impious to take an oath on a mere ;natter of opinion ; third, informa tion hes reached me that - charges have been preferred against me be ;re this Committee. Ido not consider, therefore, that - I am bound to answer any questions upon oath that may h ave a tendency to criminate Notwithstanding these reasons, the House of Assembly (as we we have said) committed Mr. Abbott:to prison for breach of privilege. He obtained s. writ of Habeas Corpus, in virtue of which he was brought before the' Chief Justice ; who, on hearing the case, decided against him ; so that lie remained in pri son at the date of the last accounts. Mr. Abbott seems to have had grounds for believing, that matter extracted from his evidence might be - turned against himself ; for it_stppears from the evidence that the con e _duct of th e Missionaries was one of the subj ec t s o f inquiry ; and the report of the Committee plainly I -alludes to this evidence, when it speaks of " a secret influence, not susceptible of legal proof, but closely at work, to subvert the apprenticeship system by the sim ple but sure mode of exciting a combination among the labourers." On the 26th November the House of Assembly presented an address to the Marquis of Sligo, requesting his Excellency to invest. with special commissions such a number of the local magistrates in each parish as might be sufficient to enforce order and subordination. The Governor, in his reply, declined acceding to this request, on the ground that, th3ugh C!' number of special magistrates originally sent from home was insufficient for the du ties they had to perform, yet the deficiency had been partly supplied h': eppointments made by him of per ' sons resident in the Island : and that the arrival of a ' number of additional stipendiary Magistrates from England wasimmediately expected. • In - consequence of this refusal, the House passed some strong resolu tions condemnatory of the Governor's conduct ; and thus, as far as we are yet informed, the matter rests. We have thrown together this summary, more with the view of making our readers aware of the present posture of affairs, than of making any comments upon it. We must say, however, that the conduct of the Jamaica Legislature does not stand in a favourable light. How far the very dark picture, given by the Committee of the House of Assembly, of the state of the island accords with the truth, .we cannot pretend to say. We hope it is too strongly coloured ; but, at all events, there is something very suspicious in the nature of the measure proposed as their principal remedy—the granting special commissions, as stipen• diary Magistrates, to the local Magistrates in each parish. This would be defeating the very object of that part of the abolition measure which consisted of the appointment of stipendiary Magistrates sent from England. It would be making the local Magistrates, as they were before, judges in their own cause ; as every question between the master and the negro would come under the cognizance of a Magistrate identified with one of the parties by a complete community of feelings and objects. It would throw the apprentices as completely into the power of the masters as ever the slaves were in thcr po.,ver. We are glad, there fore, that the Noble Governor has so firmly refused his sanction to such a measure, and trust he will persist in his refusal. The whole matter, we apprehend, requires to be once more made the subject of Parliamentary in quiry, in order that the measure itself may undergo re viion and amendment, not only in its own substance, but in the means of carrying it into satisfactory effect. —Morning Chronicle. MIDDLESEX ELECTION. Mr. IIt:NIE's speech, continued from our First Edition of yesterday, and which appeared in our. Second Edition of last night :—That gentleman ought to recollect that Rome was saved by the cackling of a single goose—( Laughter)—therefore one voice was not to be despised ; but his was not the only voice—he thanked God that there would be 300 good men in the House of Commons-4 Cheers)—he believed near 400, but t all events, there would be a sufllcient majority to drive the Tories out.—(Cheers.) He was very glad to say that the feeling generally during his canvass seemed to be that almost every good Reformer thought that. the • success of the struggle depended almost upon his own vote, and it was by such feel ings and such exertions that their cause had been gained. -4 Great cheering.) They ought tq recollect that the Reform Bill was not passed merely to drive out the borough mongers and to reform the House of Commons, but to reform the people themselves.—( Cheers.) It was to make them ho nest and•independent voters, so that they should send to the ttreat council of the nation only those who would devise and upport those measuresWhieh would be most conducive to the best interests of all. The Reform Bill was passed, first, for " purpose of driving out the boroughmongers ; secor- aue the Lords to their own house, where he trust' —ear, to drive . the third, that better men might ha .esethey would stop ; should represent the people • sent We the House, who who were electors sh• aciettetetreee ; and, fourth, that those mkt repeeeent those of their fellow-corm e-ymen who ' were y-tt deprived of the franchise. Unless, the electors, by the next eleation well considered all thing-s, so that an end was put to bribery and corruption, end of raising the moral feeling of their countrymen, and teaching them that as freemen they have a most important duty to perform—he trusted dint at the next election so many would not be carried away, by the influence which their unfortunate situation often obliges them to submit to. But let the past he past, and let them look forward to the fu ture, when he doubted not those men who voted against their consciences now would make amends—( Cheers.) In order, therefore, to make the Reform Bill complete, the country mus: go on and (said Mr. Hume) it will be my bumble endeavour, single handed, if need be, to carry the completion of that mea sure to enable every man to be free, to give him the power to exercise his vote peaceably and honestly without favour or com pulsion by the ballot—( Cheers.) The fabric of our constitution roust be placed on the broadest basis, instead of there beii4, 616,000 electors in England, I hope to see two or three mil lions of men, alike interested in supporting the general inte rests of the country, and having a voice in the legislation thereof.—( Cheers.) In wishing that, I am the best friend of the Crown, I art the best friend of the altar, and of all our institutions that are good and valuable and are worth pre serving, while still I wish to be understood the most deter mined emeny to all abuses that exist, having an undying de sire to see them reduced.—( Great cheering.) England has gained much, but not so much as my own country. Scotland, u hide prior to the passing of the Reform Bill, contained only 3,500 electors has now 64,000, who I am happy to say are doing their duty so well, that even the Duke of Wellington's Quarter Master General has been rejected from Perth—. -( Cheers)—and though Sir George Clerk has maintained a majority of 22 votes only, it shows that corruption had taken too deep root in Edinburgh, bet next election we may count (10011 my countrymen doing their duty by not suffering a single 'dory to remain.—( Cheers.) They are already np hi arms e —they feel the value of reform—they have gained corporation reform by a Bill pasSed by - the late Par liament which has been so unjustly dismissed in disgrace. The magistracy are now all elected by the inhabitants of the towns.—( Cheers.) There we find the - magistrates, and any one ender them, acting ir, cordiality and good feeling. ?co longer do the bickerings and scenes of old, which were a dis credit to the country, exist. They are so far renovated, audit will be my pleasure and desire to attempt to carry reforms equally sweeping and useful in all the Corporations in Eng land, for there the seeds of corruption lie dormant, as we perceive by the returns some towns have returned the stoutest Tories, and neglected the best men, only because they were the hotbeds of corruption, and reform bad not yet reached them. But in another year this, I hope, will be at an end. Glasgow, the most populous and thriving city in Scotland, has rejected the half-and-half man, Mr. Ewing, and returned two tho rough-bred to the back-bone Reformers.--( Laughter and cheers.) They have sent Mr. Oswald and Mr. Dunlop, who is as good a man as ever stood in shoe-leather. Scotland thus is doing its duty, and I hope that all the means which have been set at work against Reform in this country not prevail, and I congratulate you on the progress we have made, but I tell you we shall make no further progress if Sir R. Peel and his party are suffered to keep the Government. It is your in terest then, and the interest of every man who wishes to carry the great principles of Reform, to chase them from their seats In that I hope the House of Commons will do its (Ite v In reference to the Reform Bill I tru s t y ou wilt and ne " liways striving to reduce all unnecessary ex i ee ".uiture, to destroy un merited pensions and all sinecures which have disgraced this country, and sinecurists wt . a are the principal supporters of a bad Government. ',hey know that if we give them but a completely r ' f- orrred House of Commons, and secure a re fc`rmedraenistry, that their days are numbered, and on this ac writ they are most strenuously opposed to all reformers ; it is a death's struggle Kith them.—( Laughter and cheers.) But in proportion to their efforts to resist reform, let your exer tions be vigorous ; let every man consider the cause his own, and it will be triumphant as on this day.—( Cheers.) Much has been done, but much more is to be done, and though the Tories say nothing will be done, much shall be dune. We have our eourts of law to reform, thoSe Augean stables. I do not believe that there are a more Tory set of men than lawyers throughout.--( Laughter.) There are many excellent excep tions to this. Some of the most honourable in the profession have supported me---( Hear, hear)—but I speak gene rally, and you have seen them very active in their influence, and you know that they are more opposed to Reform than any other class of people. In addition to that, we have the church Ito put to rights.—( Hear, hear—" that's what we want.") If the Church be in danger, it is from those who inconsiderately refuse to reform its abuses. They are the enemies of the Church, because they resist, and by their resistance of Reform they will procrastinate until a superior power may sweep away even that which we should wish to preserve.—( Hear, hear. ) I shall therefore consider that the country is not satis fied, and that the House of Commons has not done its duty until that reform be carried.—( Hear.) From the Tories I can expect nothing, though they have all become Reformers of late.—( Laughter.) I -do not understand the extent of th. ir Reform, and therefore have no confidence in them. There can be, and there ought to be, no peace in the country until we have a Reform Government, and I am doing, I conceive, the Pest I can to put an end to a bad Government.—( Noise from Mr. Wood's snpporters, and cries of " Keep your men quiet, Wood 1") For Ireland, that unfortunate country, the new Parliament ought to do justice. It should be borne in mind by every one that Ireland did more to carry the Reform Bill than all beside.. We should have found much more difficulty in accomplishing that object, but for the Irish members. Ire land, however, has not benefitted in proportion ; let us there fore direct our attention to her, and see what can be done to put an end to that confusion and bloodshed that have so long disgraced and distracted her. To that end the Irish Church must be curtailed, reduced, and reformed—( Hear, hear)— and it will be my delight to aid in performing the task. One word more, as we have been successful in obtaining the victory, whatever bad feeling may have existed, let us use our victory with moderation. On one of those banners you will see my motto ' Perseverance in a good cause'; on the reverse you will perceive cheap . and good government' as the object of that persever ance. As we arc powerful by our majority, let us strive by our majority, let us strive by reason and fair argument to con vince those that have opposed us by their votes that they were wrong and we were right.—( Hear, hear.) Ours i s th e cause of truth and justice, therefore it becomes us to conduct our selves with peace and moderation ' • and with these words I t a k e my leave of you, thanking y o u a thousand times, and wishing you a very good morning; I am exceedingly obliged to all those who have attended here this day to grace the triumph against the Tories. Mr. Home retired amidst loud and re peated cheers. Mr. Woon on presenting himself was assailed by a volley of yells and groans, and after making several ineffectual attempts to gain a hearing, Mr. HUME came forward and said—As a favour I do entreat you, in furtherance of the cause you All have at heart, to give Mr. Wood a hearing. If we arc strong let us be .generous, and hear what he has to say. I am sure there will be no great difficulty in answering it.—( Laughter and cheers.) Mr. WOOD then proceeded—Gentlemen, I perfectly agree with a sentiment uttered by our worthy Sheriff— I acknowledge that I am defeated, but I think lam not disgraced.—(Up roar.) Gentlemen, I came here to thank those electors who have honored me with their suffrages.—( Groaning.) I came also to thank the worthy Sheriffs for their courtesy, impartiality, and kindness. I came here to thank those worthy friends—( Uproar)—and if I am not allowed an opportunity now I shall have it in private, if I can e v en th en ex p re ss my feeling of gratitude to them for the support they have given me.— (Great uproar and hooting, in the midst of which sonic orange peels were flung at the hon. gentleman.) Mr. BARCLAY entreated that they would give Mr. Wood a hearing. He was a beaten candidate, and therefore had a right to be heard. He trusted that they would not act in so unmanly a manner as to fling any missiles, which might hurt friend as well as foe. Mr. Woon (who still maintained his good humour) resumed. I regret that you are so very impatient, as there are one or two subjects connected with •the late contest which I should wish to allude to. The Hon. Gent. has said that Mr. Byng has many of my votes—l wish he would give them back that I might add them to the account.—( Uproar.) lam afraid of dis pleasing you, but there is another subject t o which I would wish to allude. An expression has been made use of during some part of this contest, that the Hun. Gentleman was en deavouring to crawl in on the back of Mr. Byng.—( Hissing, groaning, and uproar.) Suppose, for an instant that such was the case, and that the Hon. Gentleman was placed on the back of your old and tried representative—imagine his sturdy frame and lusty arms embracing your old representative—was he not a regular pick-a-back gentleman ?—( Hooting and tre mendous uproar.) Suppose them continuing their political ca reer in company, they might perhaps beguile the tedium of the journey by a comparison of their political principles.—( Uproar.) Perhaps the Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Hume) might begin with asking your old and tried repres e nt a ti ve if h e h a d ma d up his mind about the Bishops?—( Hear, from Mr. Wood's friends on the hustings.) He would not get a very distinct answer, I fear. Perhaps he might also ask him some question as to the ballot ?—( Groaning.) I almost think that your old and worthy representative would give the Hon. Gentlemen a de cided No. A coalition has been spoken of, but it has been disavowed on the part of the Hon. Gentleman. In my tra vels through the eastern part of this district, it has been avowed by his committees, and I have seen the hackney coaches tra velling about to collect the voters of both parties—( Hissing)— and.their names have been joined together in a fraternal em brace.—( Uproar.) I don't complain of this n --(Heoting, and pelting of laurel leaves and orange peel.) Mr. Sheriff RAPHAEL came forward and intreated of them to give Mr. Wood fair play. Mr. WOOD—I have no animosity to the Hon. Gentleman. —( Renewed uproar.) Mr. BARCLAY requested they would hear the Hon. Gen tleman. Anything like violence would merely injure their Cause. They had complained of the violence of the opposite party on Monday last, and he trusted they would not now resort to it. Let thou fight their opponents with argument and not with physical force.—( Cheering.) Mr. Woon resumed—lf you were not so impatient I should complain also, that the Hon. Gentleman has charged me with being the partizan of a party or faction which I have at the outset most decidedly disclaimed all connexion with. ( Uproar. ) Mr. Woon then proceeded and said, that no man could nee r, present Middlesex upon party views—(Che- -- ventered to tell the honourable gent"- ; and be upon his return to posher-- Mr. Hume, that views. The en" ' —et he must not act upon party end.are • .... n ntened constituency of Middlesex would not .um if he showed himself actuated by party motives. e Cheers.) They would demand beneficial and useful Reforms but they did not want party—they did not care for party — (Great uproar.) At the outset of the contest, he had an opportunity of stating his opinion upon various ques tions of the most . v ital importance. He gave di raet and explicit answers to the questione that Were prat to him, for he did not wish to obtain any man's vote under false colours and pretences. Upon the subject of the exten sioa of suffrage and triennial Parliaments he had expressed his opinion, and he still admi tcd that they were subject of debate. Viere were other questions introduced—namely, the ballot, the expulsion of the Bishops from the House of Lcirds, and the separation of Church and state. He was of opinion that these questions were foreign to the British constitution. lie regarded them as noxious weeds, blown by the hurricane of political excitement from some foreign land, and which, if suffered to take root, would taint and contaminate the healthy atmosphere of the British Isiene(Cireat groaning and some cheers.) He placed before his view also the inevitable con sequence of these measures—he eombined them together, and combined, he beheld them form a hideous group, and he be lieved that revolution, anarchy, and strife followed In their train—( Tremendous groaning and uproar, with cheers from Mr. W.'s party.) He might be deceived, but he was honest in his opi nio , and he declared his opinions with the candour of an honest, and he hoped, an honourable man. As these would be the last words he would ever address to them, be must express himself upon some other questions. The Hon. Gentleman ( Mr. Hume) had said that the Church was in danger ; if the Church be in danger, then he would say that the nation was in danger.— (Great uproar.) He would say, if they were tile last words he should ever utter, that he would stand by his respected Church—the most valuable of our institutions, be. cause the most sacred.—(Great uproar, and some cheering.) He could speak with more justice, because he had but lately returned from a foreign country which was disgraced by open and avowed infidelity, and he felt relief in returning to the pure and simple principles and doctrines of the Established Church. That Church was the nurse of all our liberties and the protectress of our rights, and when Englishmen abjured their principles of religion, and pulled down the venerable fabric of the Established Church, this country would fall as Rome had fallen.--n-(" Oh, oh," 'and great uproar.) Let thein look to history—he had not the words in his remembrance, but he knew that when the Romans neglected • their re ligious principles—superstitious though they might be—Rome fell.—(,Groat uproar.) He saw they wore impatient—he must soon bid them farewell—he wished to do so in friendship and good humour.--( Cheers.) There was, however, one other subject to which he would refer, and he would do so not as a soldier, but as an Englishman. That subject was as to the character of the Duke of Wellington—( Great confusion)_ the people's friend, and the friend of property.—( Great confusion, and cries of " no friebd of the people.") He would not detail the numberless victories he had obtained —(Hissing)—his wonderful career, or that extraordinary for.. tune—( Hisses, and much confusion)—which enabled him to overthrow the iron hand of tyranny and despotism which had been built up by Napoleon_( Great eonfusion)—but he beg ged to return the Duke of Wellington his best thanks and gratitude for his disinterested conduct upon a late occasion.— ( Much up roar .) T he Hon. Gentleman (pointing to M r . Hume) bad i n one o f hi s effusions called the Duke t h e Dicta tor—( H isse s , and cries of " So he is ")—he did not know whether it was the character of Cincinnatus or Camillus that biought that to his mind; but be it what it might, he thought the Duke totally undeservin of that name.—Great confu sion). T nn sacred trust of being a representative of the . F" 111.. .; of Middlesex bad p ro b a bly b e en placed in better hands :earl his own,—( Cries of " A man you may depend upon." -but he would tell those in whose hands that trust had been placed, that they must not abuse it.—(Much uproar anp confusion.) He did not des pair for the Constitution of his country, if ternpe rate and useful improvements were carried on.—( Cries of Oh, oh 1" and much confusion.) They might be called Re form or any thing else, all he was anxious for was to see his country happy, and carry her- commercial interests into every corner of the . world.—( Cheers and uproar.) He thanked the electors for the hearing they had given him, and he trusted that he should leave the hustings without an enemy, and he hoped with many friends.—(Mr. Wood concluded amid much confusion, groans, and cries of " Farewell, Wood.") Sir PETER LAURIE came forward to propose a vote of thanks to the Sheriff, amid tremendous noise and confusion. Mr. Sheridan had said that many men had run their heads against a wall ; but the Whigs were the only persons who built one for the purpose of running their heads against it.—( Great confusion.) There was a new expression, introduced by Lord Grey, called " The pressure from without."—( Hear.) —this was the pressure from without, for there were present the Whigs, the Tories, the Radicals, and the ultra-Radicals. He said nothing against Mr. Hume, nor Mr. Byng, for neither of them had touched any of the Whig money.—( Much confusion, and cries of " Move, move.") Sir John Campbell had advised the people to stop the supplies=this observation had only been made, he was sure, out of revenge, for the moment he gave up the Attorney. Generalship his supplies were stopped, and he lost all hope of being Lord Chief Justice of En land. lie had never been pelted with mud but once, and that was during the time that he was a Whig, and was supporting Sir J. C. Hobitouse.—( Great uproar and confusion.) The King had been blamed for turning away the late Ministry • but he had acted in the same way as the master of a f am ily whose servants were disagreeing among themselves, and one by one giving warning and going away.—(" No, no.") Mr. Hume had said at one time that if the Whigs did not behave better, Sir R. Peel would be carried into office on the shoulders of the people—he had been so, and they would sustain him.— ( Loud laughter.) 'Mr. Stanley and other Whigs would sup port them.—( Uproar.) He would then only move a vote of thanks to the Sheriffs. Sir J. S. LILLIE seconded it with pleasure. He would merely add that he could not say as Sir Peter had, that he was a Whig when the Whigs were in power, and a Tory when they were driven out. Mr. HUBIE here passed through the crowd in a car, dressed all over with laurel, and having flags displayed. He was received with cheers, which lasted several minutes. Sir J. LILLIE then put the motion of thanks, which was carried unanimously with cheers.) Mr. Sheriff RAPIIAEL said they received such a testimony of their having done their duty with gratitude. Colonel Noon then proposei a vote of thanks to the Under Sheriff. Mr. Under Sheriff PEARSON returned thanks, and the meet ing quietly dispersed. CORONER'S INQUEST.—DREADFUL DEATH OF A LAnv.—Yesterday afternoon, at three o'clock, an Inquest was held at the King's Head Tavern, Lower-road, Islington, before Mr. Stirling and a highly-respectable Jury, on view of the body of Mrs. Ann Davenport, who was found burnt to death at the house, No. 4, Sussex-place, New North-road, Islington, where she resided. The Inquest-room was crowded by friends and relations of the deceased, who has been erro neously stated to be the celebrated actress of the same name. The deceased was a lady of large fortune, and of eccentric habits, being a fancy-collector of garments. She was eighty years of age, and very infirm. On Friday night last a polici!- man, 'perceiving a fire, broke into the house, and discovered the deceased lying on the landing burnt almost to a cinder.. It. is supposed she hae been seized with sudden weakness, 41 . 1(1 fallen on a lighted candle. Verdict—Accidental Death. ROLLS' COURT.-MONDAY. ~Y THE LONDON AND BIRMINGHAM RAILWAY COWART V. THE GRAND JUNCTION CANAL COMPANY. Upon this motion, which was argued before the Master of the Rolls on Saturday, his Honour, at the sitting of the Court, delivered judgment. His Hosoun, after stating generally the nature of the application, observed that there was no dispute between the parties as to the facts of the case ; but that the allegation of the Canal Company was that., admitting the facts to be as stated, still the Railway Company had no authority to do what they had done. That depended entirely upon the construction of the Act of Parliament constituting the Railway Company, and, especially upon the Bth 'clause of that Act, as affected and modified by the subsequent clauses introdUced for the express purpose of protecting the inte rests of the Canal Company. He would, in the first instance, assume that the Bth section gave a power to the Railway Company which, if unrestrained, would confer on that Company a right to do what they had done, in order to consider whether there was any thing in the 85th, 86th, and 87th sections (which were the clauses introduced for the protection of the Grand Junction Canal) which either expressly or constructively destroyed or restricted that right. The 35th section, which merely went to secure to the canal all its previous rights and privileges, and to prevent its navigation from being obstructed and the supply of water diminished, clearly had no application, inasmuch as it was not here pretended that the Railway Company had done any one of those . prohibited acts. There was nothi ng s t a t e d i n t h e clause which eould be in tended to interfere with the general rights conferred on the railway Company by the former part of the statute ; nei ther was there an part of the 86th clause which could have such an effect ; for it was not intended that the 86th clause should apply to the works that had been Ottitnenced ; and the argument on behalf of the .Railway Company assumed that it did net ; but then it was contended, that here the clause had application, because this was a temporary and not a permanent bridge. That argument seemed to proceed upon a supposition that the poker to erect a permanent bridge originated in the 86th clause ; although it was, in fact, clear that that power was given by the Bth clause, and that the 86th clause was inserted to prevent interference with the rights of the Canal Company. The latter section therefore restricted the works for- the purpose of racking a partliancht bridge, so that a certain width of Waterway, and a certain height above the water, should be left. The three clauses referred to, therefore, did not either directly or by necessary implica tion interfere with any rights given to the Railway Cora: pany by the Bth clause, Tht aNiirtient in support of the claim of the Canal Company, in effect, assumed this shape ; and till it was examined it atrate4 40 heti Ml`@ Weight than was really due tp it t thr.,t, whereas the 86th section protected tho Company as to the formation of per manent -' ._ g as, and ne protection was afforded by it with respect to temporary bridges, . therefore there was w 'no irt the' Railway tjompatiy to COniiiiiiet temporary bridges. That argument might have weight were it not that the eighty-fifth section was exactly adapted, tti tilt danger. to lid apprbliended in the case of the erection of temporary b r id ges , f o r it provided that nothing, in the act contained shoUld alter or diminish the privileges or obstruct the navigation, or injure the works of the Canal Company. Nothing of any description could be cen.tructed which would produce any cf quire ense etdficee prohibited by the 85th section, and that section was in fact enlarged by the 86th, which, recognising in the Railway Company the right of making permanent bridges, prescribed the shape and form in which those bridges should be made. If then these three clauses ; introduced for the protection or the rights or i 6 Candi, did not restrict afiy right before given, the only remaining question was, whether the Bth section did in effect confer the right in question. Now it was hardly possible to conceive terms larger than were used in that clause, Mg Honour proceeded to read invested the clause, an d t o s t a t e t h e p owers w i t h w hi c h i t the Railway Company, and the purposes for which it ex pressed them to be given. These purposes were for making the railway and all proper conveniences connected there with, The words *etc the ttibst eXtenSitO pa:IMO. Among the works directed by the act in a subsequent clause, was the making of the embankment over the valley in ques tion ; and the act in effect authorised the Railway Company to do all works necessary and convenient for making and carrying on the Railway. There. was an end, therefore, of all argument as to the pose sibility of bringing the earth from another place ; the , Railway ' Company were the best - judges upen that point, and they were so made by the act when it empowered them to carry on such works as were convenient. In this case, indeed, there was no pretence for saying that it was not the most natural. and convenient course to remove the earth from the hil.er level, which they were excavating, anduith it forming the embankment where the ground was too low. What the Railway Company had done was to throw a tem porary wooden bridge across the canal for the- purpose of conveying that earth in carts from, the high to the low ground. - Now, the powers given by the a c t extended to canals; lied even to sanctioning a temporary diversion or stoppage of the canal, although nothing of the sort was pre tended to have taken place here. The case, in fact, was put upon a mere question of right--ewhether, in short, the Rail , way were authorized. to pass over the canal in any way but by a permanent bridge. All that the Railway Company wanted was to pass the canal, and the passage was adMitted to be effected without any the slightest injury to the canal : and on looking at the Bth section, lie enter tained no doubt that the act of Parliament did not mean to give to the Railway Company 'authority to deal with all the property in their line in such a manner as to carry their works into execution, subject only to the restrictions con tained in the subsequent actions. The question was simply a question of law, arising upon the construction of an act of Parliament ; and as the facts were all agreed upon, there was no ground for sending the case to a jury, a course which would - . only be attended with useless delay and ex pense. .It had been suggested, that though no damage had hitherto arisen from the works complained of, they might hereafter have a tendency to diminish the supply of water, or_obstruct the navigation, so as to bring the canal within the protection of the 85th section ; but that was ex tremely improbable. the mischief being much more. likely to occur when the works were in the course of formation than at any subsequent period, and no mischief, it was ad mitted, had hitherto ensued to the canal. His Honour then "stated particularly the terms in which he proposed to modify the injunction sought by the motion. The effect, he stated, on the whole would be, that the plaintiffs (the Railway Company) would be restrained by their undertak ing from doing any thing which the act prohibited, and that the Canal Company would be restrained by the in junction from interfering with the rights of the Railway Company, in doing anything which, by the construction now put upon the act of Parliament, the Railway Company were authorised and empowered to do. ROGERS V. DAWSON. This was an motion for an injunction to restrain the de fendant, Mr. Dawson, from paying a certain sum of money to the other defendant, Mr. Thomas Rogers ; also to re strain Mr. Thomas Rogers from bringing any action for the recovery of the said sum, and that a receiver might be ap pointed under the direction of the Court. The facts of the case were briefly as follows :—lt was alleged that Mr. Thomas ant Mr. John Rogers had been in partnership prior to the year 1825, at which period a dissolution of part- nership was alleged to have taken place. An account was then taken of the partnership transactions, upon the result of which the plaintiff contended that Mr. Thomas Rogers was indebted to his brother John in a sum exceeding2,ooo/. The brothers subsequently entered into a new partnership. In the year 1828 Mr. John Rogers had an epileptic attack which very much impaired his mind, and in 1830 this gentleman, at the direction of his brother, was removed to a lunatic asylum, where he died in the month of July, 1831. A bill was then filed by John Rogers' widow, the present plaintiff, to have an account taken ofthe partnership transac tions, the defendant, Mr. Thomas Rogers, alleging that a large sum was due to him on a private account from his deceased brother's estate. In March, 1833, a common decree for an account was taken, and interrogatoriei ex hibited for the examination of the defendant. The affida vits in support of the present motion alleged that, in 1834, the defendant, Thomas Rogers, apprehending that the ac counts-would go against him, formed a determination to convert the partnership property into money, and to re move himself out of the jurisdiction of this Court. Under this apprehension, a supplemental bill was filed for the pur pose of bringing this circumstance before the Court, and for the purpose of having the partnership property secured, until the rights of the parties might be ascertained. In proof of this determination, the defendant's eagerness to dispose of the machinery of a paper-mill in Berk shire, part of the partnership property, to the defend ant, Mr. Dawson, was instanced. Mr. Dawson, who was the landlord.of the mill in question, purchased the machinery in question, the amount of which purchase /Dopey he bad not yet paid, the plaintiff having served a notice, stating her claims, and warning him not to pay until her rights should be ascertained. This was the sum that the bill prayed Mr. Dawson might be restrained from paying to Mr. Thomas Rogers. The Learned Counsel in support of the motion contended that the defendant, Mr. Thomas Rogers, had obtained from his brother, when in an unsound state of mind, a recognition o f his alleged claim, and that the result of the account of the dissolution of partnership in 1825 clearly showed that a large sum was due to the deceased's estate. Under these circumstances they submitted that the injunction ought to b e granted as ,prayed. :On the other hand the Learned Gentlemen for the defendant Mr. Thomas Rogeis, con tended that there had not been at the dissolution of the partnership in 1825 any balance due to the deceased John Rogers, inasmuch as no partnership had ever subsisted be. fore 1827, but that the sum alleged to be due had been an advance by Thomas to John Rogers on his marriage, to enable him to► set up as a publican. In support of this the Learned Gentleman referred to an I. 0. U. and other papers, recognising the advance made by way of loan. The defendant, Mr. Thomas Rogers, did not and never had in tended to withdraw himself from the jurisdiction of this Court, and consequently they submitted that be ought not to be prevented from winding up the affairs of the parter ship business. Mr. BICKERSTETH and Mr. CHING appeared in support of the motion, and Mr. PEMBERTON and Mr. Pulala against it. His HONOUR reserved his judgment. ‘ 11:;1 1 " ON E D ITION. L SUN OFFICE, Seven o'clock.
