FRENCH PAPERS. PARIS, FEB. 12.—The Renovateur contains the follow- ing article " The convoy escorted by Jarreguy was attacked, as we have before stated, in the environs of Bergara, by the Roy alists. On the 3d the affair was not decided, but on the 4th Jaureguy and Espartero were repulsed with loss to Villa Franca ; on the sth there was another engagement ; Lorenzo came to the succour of the two other generals ; but the reinforcements which he brought only delayed the complete defeat of the Christinos. Zumalacarreguy himself was present, and victory, long disputed, remained faithful to him. The letters which have been communicated to us announce that on the 6th, the enemy being completely dis persed, was flying in all directions, and that the whole con voy was in possession of Zumalacarreguy. There had not been time to draw up an official bulletin. Some days, will perhaps, expiee before we can know the details ; but we re peat there can be no doubt of the result of this success, which is of the highest importance to the cause of Charles V. The ministerial bulletin itself acknowledges that there was an action on the 4th in which both parties claim to have had the advantage, but it is silent with respect to the actions of the sth and 6th. The Messager, speaking of the colizmunications between the French and Austrian Governments, respecting Swit zerland, quotes the following from the Swiss Gazette : We are afraid that M. de Rumigny has declared ihAt he was nearly certain that he should shortly go to Naples, as French Ambassador, in the room of Count Sebastiani. As it is very probable that England and France will approxi mate to the German Courts, and adopt their views on the affairs of Switzerland, it is impossible that M. de Rumigny, who has hitherto been the support of Radicalism, and the representative of the principles of the Revolution of July, which is now at its last gasp, should change his political system, and give to-day lessons on moderation, justice, and the rights of nations, to persons whose Radical principles he supported yeterday."—Messager, Febol2.

" Your Majesty was graciously pleased, by a rescript of the 11th of Nov. this year, to communicate to the Com mittee of the Estates, the resolution which was adopted in the General Sitting of the Diet, of the expenditure on the 30th of Oct., 1834, relative to the institution of Tribunals of Arbitration, for the purpose of settling the differences between the Governments and the Estate, in all cases not already provided for by the laws or the Constitution of the country. Your Majesty was, at the same time, pleased to accompany this communication with the observation that the articles of this resolution have in view the protection of the rights of the Estates in an equal degree with those of the Government ; and your Majesty also recognizes the right of the Estates to come to an agreement for having recourse to the way of arbitration. " We consider it as due to the unshaken confidence in the benevolent views and constitutional sentiments of your Majesty, gratefully to accept the expression alluded to as an assurance that the adoption of the way of arbitration, whether originating with the Government or the Estates, will always be preceded by a resolution by agreement. But inasmuch as this assurance is not so much deduced by us from the words of your Majesty's rescript as founded on your Majesty's attachment to the sense and the spirit of our Constitution, we take the liberty to make the most re spectful i s pectful request to be satisfied on this point, and to be n , formed whether we have in fact truly and correctly under stood your Majesty's views, by the supposition that the Tribunal of Arbitration will never be applied to, without the previous understanding between our Government and its Estates. With the most profound respect, &c. &c. , " Stutgard, Dec. SB, 1834. " The President of the Chamber of Nobility. (Signed) a AUG USTUS, Prince of Hohenlohe-Ochringen." RESCRIPT OF THE PRIVY COUNCIL TO THE COMMITTEE OF THE ESTATES. " William, by the Grace of God, &c. &c. " Dearly Beloved—We have received your respectful petition of 16th December, 1834, requesting satisfaction and information respecting the sense of the rescript ad dressed to you on the II th of November last year, in re ference to the resolution of the Diet for the institution of Tribunals of Arbitration, to arrange difference that may arise between the Government and the Estates. As the rescript however, according to its whole perfectly clear tenor, cannot be understood otherwise than that the re course to the Tribunal of Arbitration, will always be pre ceded by an agreement which in its very nature excludes constraint, we have only to refer you to that preceding c o mmunication. We remain, &c. " Stutgard. Given by his Majesty in Council, 23-27th January, 1835. " MAUCLER." ( Signed) —Allgemeine Zeitung, Feb. 8. PESTH (IN HUNGARY) JAN. 20.—The Commercial Unien'.s Tariff in Germany is a general subject of conversa tion here, and we are apprehensive that if Austria should accede to if, very great injury would result from it to our interest. This gives rise to many reflections, and there are persons who thick that in the end it might be the best for Hungary, if we were entirely united with Austria, and were placed on the same footing with regard, both to public burdens and advantages. The accounts of last year's wines are extremely favour able, and contain such a quantity loth of saccharine matter and spirit that it will probably prove be of unrivalled ex cellence. Even the ordinary sorts pron'?ise to equal the usual produce of the best vineyards. The prices are ad vancing considerably, and the first purchasers oake large profits. MUNICH.—The Bavarian National Gazette containg the following communication on a subject which has been fre quently discussed : . " The Upper Chamber expressed, during the session of last year, the following wishes That especial attention may be paid to the constantly increasing number of illegitimate children, and that measures to remedy this evil may be taken by the Legislature, in doing which the following points would be to be considered 1. The abolition of the action against the fathers ; 2. Provision for the children by the establishment of of institutions for their support and edusution at the expense of the state or of the circles . ; and 3d, the punishment of the mothers in the houses of correction or the workhouses.' The Chamber of Deputies replied to those wishes of the Upper Chamber, that they were not to be reconciled either with considerations of humanity or the principles of justice anti morality, that they would expose the weaker sex, and would often reduce an inno cent female to utter despair. We will not enter into an examination of those diverging opinions : they will one day fill an important, and we trust, in the end, honourable page in the history of Bavaria ; but we will quote the words of M. V. Hoffmann, in his de scription of the earth and its inhabitants. In general we find that there are far more illegitimate children in propor tion in the towns than in the country, and in great cities more than in smaller towns. Bavaria alone offers a melan choly exception, for here, even in the country, there is a greater proportion of illegitimate children than in the most licentious great towns, nay, even in Paris itself ; there is no part of Europe where such immorality in this respect pre vails. As for the capital of Bavaria, the number of illegiti mate children is nearly equal to that of the legitimate, and besides, with such dissoluteness of manners, how many are baptised as legitimate, who in fact are not so? In 1823 there were 1,030 legitimate, and 990 illegimate births ; in 1829 the numbers were 1,548, and 1,127.' So far M. Hoff mann. We give some more data. The journals give the propositions in various other cities, in all which the differ ence is very great compared with Munich. The least being in Paris, where, out of 32,000 births 11,000 were illegiti mate. In 1834 there were in Munich 1,339 legitimate and 1,291 illegitimate births ; and from January 1, 1834, to De cember 31, 1834, there were born in Munich 14,831 legiti mate, and 12,219 illegitimate children.“—Frankfort Pa pers, Feb. 7.

The prizes ,:re lof 100,000, lof 50,000, lof 30, 20 of 000, 1 of 20,000, 1 of 10,000, 2 of L',ooo, 4 of 3,000, 7 of 2,000, 1,000, 40 of 500, and 1,500 of 103 marks, which 1,578 money prizes are altogether stated in marks banco, and payable without any e.eduction whatever ; 4,000 tickets being delivered gratis to the holders of the 2,000 first-drawn tickets, as per scheme, those purchasing ene ticket, at the trifling cost of N., may obtain three prizes, and thus, if fortune proves favourable, gain 180,000 marks banco, at the present exchange, equal to 13,0001. sterling. Owing to the gratis-tickets, the number of tickets on sale is a very limited one, so that, of course, they will be cleared off very rapidly, and a rise in price occur very soon. Those desirous to purchase at the present first price of 81., are requested to direct, by one of the first mails, but only for whole tickets, to the above-named Con tractors, Heine Brothers, in Hamburg. Those re mittin g a 10/. note will receive an order for the balance of 2/., together with the ticket, by return of mail ; on the other hand, those preferring to pay Heine Brothers' draft for the cost, are recommended to pay such draft immediately when presented. A full scheme, and every desirable information, being always sent with the ticeets, those giving orders will only have to write a line, ordering the ticket or tickets, adding the money, or an other for the same, or stating the mode of payment that may be more convenient to the orderer, and giving their full and plain directions, to secure the safe receipt of the communications. Those honouring Heine Brothers by pur chasing, may depend on the strictest secrecy, as to their taking a chal.ce or getting a prize ' • such being the undeviating rule of the old-established and most lucky Office. NOTICE.—We shall give in The Sun of Tuesday next a complete List of the Members returned to Parliament from the London Gazette. Also another List showing in what manner all those Members of the late Parliament have voted on the following lin portant questions :—the Corn Laws—Church Re form— Short Parliaments Ballot— Corporation Reform, &c., together with the denomination of each Member, whether Whig, Liberal, or Conser- vative. The new Members will also be distinguished. The publication of THE SUN NEWSPAPER commenced this day at 10 minutes past 3 o'clock. F The *lva. LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 14, 1835. We are inclined to believe that the Tories have seen the error of their ways, and now sincerely repent them of their folly, in having staked so much on the re-election of the late Speaker. They would now be overjoyed to find some decent loop-hole through which to withdraw the object of their too ardent affection. They see too late the dangerous predicament in which they stand, and to which they have been reduced by that blindness of mind and hardness of heart—that insensibi lity to everything that is passing out of their own narrow circle—which has ever been their distinguishing charac teristic as a party. Had they laid to heart, as they ought to have done, the lessons they received during !Ire progress of the late election, —had they been capab. l f+ of appreciating the popular feeling so uni formly displayed wherever the people could raise their unbiassed voices—they ought to have abstained from the commission of any overt act tending to render them, if possible, more offensive to the nation. They ought, in common prudence, to have done this, even if they had succeeded in securing, by the cor rupt means which they so unscrupulously employed, a majority in the House of Commons. But how much more incumbent upon them was it to pursue this conciliatory course, when they knew that there was an overwhelming majority against them I Their conduct, infatuated as it is, is pregnant with instruction. If, with the current of popular opinion setting so strong against them, and that opinion so powerfully represented in the New Parliament, they could venture to propose for the Chair of the House of Commons, a man whose political sentiments were always opposed to those of the people, and who has now rendered himself doubly obnoxious by the un seemly exhibition of party feelings, while clothed with an official character, the purity of which is stained when its impartiality is gone ;—what, we ask, would such men have stuck at, had they procured a majority of the Representative body to second their arbitrary proceedings ? Great pains, we are well aware, have been taken to remove this stumbling-block from the feet of those who have tender consciences. Much ingenuity has been wasted in attempting to prove that Sir C. M SUTTON, in taking so active a part in the Ministerial discussions which followed on the dismissal of the MELBOURNE Administration, acted not in his capa city of Speaker of the House of Commons, but in that of a Privy Councillor. The futility of such sophistry is obvious to every one. The very defence implies condemnation of the Speaker, while it asserts the right of the Privy Councillor. If the Speaker had felt any qualms of conscience, we dare say the Privy Councillor would have obtained a respite from the exercise of his functions, without much solicitation. But the truth is, the SPEAKER was intended for ano ther office, and the idea of responsibility to the House never entered his mind. That intention was afterwards changed, but the Right Hon. Gentleman's impar tiality had been compromised—the mischief was done, and could not be undone. The feelings of the country are now deeply inte rested in this question,—and Hon. Members are well aware that such is the fact. No neutrality can be allowed in such a case—and it will assuredly be con sidered by the people as downright hostility. Here does the maxim pre-eminently hold good: " whoever Ls not for us is against us." The general interest excited by the question to be decided on the 19th, so far from being abated, seems to increase in intensity as the day more nearly ap proaches. Every argument which ingenuity, rancour, or party spirit could devise, has over and over again been employed by the respective disputants, to influence the important decision. The public are fully sensible that the nauseating arguments upon the relative quali fications or disqualifications of the two candidates, in whose persons the great political conflict will be settled, have very little to do do with the struggle in reality. The Conservatives have been moving heaven and earth together to make the matter personal ; and conse quently whilst Mr. ABERCROMBY has been shown up as the very grossest of pensioners—for no other flaw have they discovered in him—Sir C it A lir-ES is paraded forth as the very choicest specimen of human excellence, the most super-perfect pattern of a Speaker that the world ever beheld. The Liberals, on the other hand, have very discreetly made it one of principle ; but, because this necessarily engages on their side the support of every sect of Reformers, whatever happens to be the diver sified shades of - their opinions, the most moderate and influential among that party have been stigmatised for entertaining the same extreme views which the Ultras are now and the❑ unwisely advocating. Names are obtruded, and .persons associated, whose politics on many important points are as opposite as the poles ; but because they are now leagued in a common cause they must, therefore, for ever afterwards become united for the furtherance of " common measures." As Mr. O'CONNELL has deemed it wise to agitate for a Repeal of the Union, the Russells and the Mel bournes are to become Repealers, because his vote goes side by *side with their's on this occasion I In fact the Tories have contorted the anti-Tory alli ance into an O'CONNELL job : the whole opposition is taken to be the work of that " cheat and liar," as the Thunderer modestly calls him, and nothing short of the most frightful havoc and confusion can result from a Tory defeat under his commandership in chief. That this stretch of a fertile imagination may delude some minds is more possible than probable, but we do not think the Conservatives will much increase their supporters by a trick so stale, or by abuse and persona lities so outrageous. A far luckier thought, however, has just occurred to them, and though it _manifests their terror too clearly to be mistaken, the successful issue of their appeal would do much to revive their drooping hopes. They have sent -up a cry to Lord GREY that' he would be pleased to " come forward and protect his SOVEREIGN against the (liberal) cabal ;" that he will stretch forth his arm, and break tire " bond of confederacy which threatens their ruin ; that he will add another bright leaf to the crown of his glory, or, give the only re paration he can offer to the country for the evils he has wrought by this, the last great public act he can ever be called upon to perform I It would be in sulting to the fame of Lord GREY to suppose him capable of so disgraceful an act of political tergiversa tion, or to argue upon the possibility of his belying the whole tenor of his political life and opinions, by accord ing to such a prayer. His Lordship, though in his 71st year, is not labouring under the affliction of of mental infirmity, which could alone be the apology for such a base desertion of his duty ; his intellect is unimpaired, and his honour as sensibly perceptive of pollution as ever. To imagine, therefore, that he could give his countenance to the Tory candidate, would be to imply the loss of one or both. They have, by this appeal, added another item to the sum _of their dis grace; they tried hard to intrigue him out of power, and failed —now, in the extremity of their distress, they whiningly supplicate for his assistance. Miserable hope I—at what will not drowning men catch ? With the rejection of Sir CHARLES, down go the Tories, and by so much is it the " question of principle," which they have such difficulty to understand.—AßEß- C ROMBY and Liberalism, or SUTTON and Toryism, —that is the question, and that the principle. We have received the Paris Papers of Thursday, with intelligence from Madrid, bearing date the 4th instant. The unusual stillness which at present per vades the political atmosphere occasions us more alarm than when we beheld the clouds sailing hither and thither, borne along by the current of the fitful gales suddenly springing up in opposite directions. At this instant there is not a breath stirring. In France all parties are wearied discussing the amnesty question— the respective compensatory claims of Austria and the United States—and the rumoured changes in the Ca binet : in Spain the civil war is still being carried on, but in a manner so desultory that neither party has yet obtained any solid advantage from it : the Swiss Direc tory continues silent on the question at issue between the Republic and the Empire of Austria : and in Austria every eye is turned to the struggle in England, and the political movements which are hourly expected to take_ place in France. Russia is equally silent with her compeers ; but, though silent, she is neither idle nor inattentive to what is passing around her. Her Asiatic frontier has been strongly garrisoned ; and as her boundaries in that quarter have not been marked with all that care which land-agents are in the habit of observing when parcelling out estates, she has not evinced any squeamish scrupulousness in fixing her land marks. To prove her disinterestedness, she left the whole affair to be arranged by her Cossacks, and they—gene rous souls I—showed their soldiery spirit, by here and there appropriating a village, a town, and now and then a province or so, for the benefit of their Imperial master. Let it not be presumed, however, that because Russia has possessed herself, by wll4 a vilifying, world would call treachery, of the provinces of Wallachia, Moldavia, and Silistria—and now fills them with the fiercest of her soldiery, that she meditates any unfriendly purpose against the honour or the peace of the SUL TAN. On the contrary, we have the authority of the Imperial NICHOLAS himself—famed throughout the earth for his veracity, and clemency in the case of Poland—for asserting that the SULTAN'S honour, peace, security, and happiness are much dearer to the tender-hearted CZAR than are his own. NICHOLAS declares he dearly loves the SULTAN ; and we ourselves are persuaded that so well does he think of his Highness's subjects, that he has every wish to make them early acquainted with his more than paternal regard for them. For our part, and that of the British press generally, we are for ever mis taking the purity of his motives, and misinterpreting the most disinterested of his actions. If his Cos sacks possess themselves of a province belonging to the SULTAN, we rail about breaches of treaties,—never for a moment reflecting that the act originated with the CZAR, out of a most disinterested wish to prevent civil war, and to rid the SULTAN of the government of a swarm of the vilest traitors that ever disturbed the equanimity of the Divan. It is the same with all other apparent aggressions on the PORTE made by Russia. The marching of an army into the interior of the SUL TAN'S dominions is not with an intent to plunder, but with the design of crushing some plotting Pasha, or disaffected Emir—nothing more. A people so civilized as the Russians, and a Prince so wise, so clement, so long-suffering, so merciful, and so paternal as NICHOLAS, ought—out of mere politeness—to be considered incapable of taking any unfair advantage of the unsuspecting confidence of the PORTE. In the mean while France must find her situation rather uncomfortable. Having procured M. DE RIGNY'S declaration of non-intervention with respect to Switzerland, Austria, encouraged by the example of Russia and the United States, has opened a negocia tion with France, on the score of compensation for losses sustained by her during the war. We have not heard the amount of Austria's claims ; but we learn from the French journals that Count D' APPONY has pressed the subject with much earnestness on the attention of the French Government. We stated at the time that Russia had addressed the French Government, on the subject of debts due to the Duchy of Warsaw, that if the Ministers took the question into consideration, one of the most dangerous consequences would be the revival of the other claim's, which it would be out of the power of France either to meet or satisfy. The result has proved the faithfulness of this prediction. The Chamber of Deputies sat as usual on Wednes day. The Minister of War introduced the project of a law, granting 14,000,000 francs for the payment of the military pensions. The rest of the sitting was occupied with amendments in the Bankruptcy laws. This day is fixed upon in these JQurnals for the de- parture of SEBASTIAN! as Ambassador to London. The German papers of the Bth inst., have been re ceived, from which important extracts are given in another part of The Sun. The extract from the Bavarian National Gazette, representing the frightful state of immorality in that Kingdom, i. 3 particularly deserving of the attention of the Society for the Sup pression of Vice. Considerable excitement has been occasioned by the arrival of two Turkish travellers in London, who are said to be charged with extraordinary dispatches from the PORTE to the British Government. The cause assigned for these distinguished personages tra velling, as if from mere motives of curiosity, is said to be the earnest wish of the SULTAN to conceal from Russia the nature of a communication which places the treacherous conduct of the CZAR in its proper light. If this be so, the matter must be extraordinary indeed ; but to us it does not appear probable that the SULTAN should have recourse to such a step, without first having tried the efficacy of an appeal to the Bri tish Minister at Constantinople. Neither can we per ceive any necessity for:,such extraordinary secrecy on the part of the PORTF, with a British fleet then cruising in the Black Sea, ready at a moment's notice to forward any communication to the - British Government here, despite of the threats of Russia.

Maidstone Gazette. CHANCERY COURT-(THIS DAY). SITTING OF THE LORD CHANCELLOR IN THE HOUSE OF LORDS AND THE COURT OF CHANCERY. Sir Wm. HORNE, upon the Lord Chancellor taking his seat this morning, stated that as Parliament would meet in the course of a few days, it would be most convenient to the Bar and the suitors of the Court if his Lordship would state in public what course he intended to pursue with re ference to the business in the Court of Chancery and the hearing of appeals in the House of Lords. The LORD CHANCELLOR said it was his intention to de vote two days one week, and three the ensuing week, alter nately, for the purpose of hearing appeals in the House of Lords, by that means giving in one week four days to the Court of Chancery, and in the next week three days, two of those days in each week to be devoted to the hearing of motions and appeals, and the other days in alternate weeks to the regular business of the Court. On Friday and Sa turday next his Lordship would hear lunatic petitions. Sir W. HoaNE observed that it would be a great con venience to the Bar, and greatly facilitate business, if his Lordship would make some arrangement with respect to the papers in the House of Lords. The LORD CHANCELLOR must certainly consult with Noble Lords before he made any definitive arrangement upon that subject. The Bar might depend that in any course he adopted their convenience and the interests of the suitors should be consulted. His Lordship was of opinion that when an arrangement was made it was for the interest of all parties that it should be followed as closely as possible, though he was aware that at times there were heavy and pressing cases which made it necessary occasionally to alter it. As soon as his Lordship had arranged the paper of the House of Lords he would have it placed up in the Court of Chancery for the convenience of the suitors and the Bar. IN THE MATTER OF NESS. Mr. TAMLYN stated that in this case his client, a lady named Ness, had been confined for three years in York Castle, for not putting in an answer to a bill of review filed by parties who had no right to do so ; and he had, there fore, to apply to the Court that she might be permitted to take the necessary proceedings for the purpose of clearing her contempt, without depositing the usual sum, in conse quence of her poverty. The LORD CHANCELLOR had no power to make such an order, but recommended the learned Counsel to bring for ward a motion, for the purpose of discharging the lady from her contempt. _ _ Mr. TAMLYN said he would adopt the suggestion of his Lordship. KINGS BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) LIBKL.--EVANS V. ROCKLIFFE AND ANOTHER, PROPRIE TORS OF THE LIVERPOOL JOURNAL. Mr. B. WILLIAMS having opened the-pleadings, Sir JOHN CAMPBELL stated the case. In introducing to them his client, Mr. Evans, he had to state to them, that his case was a most lamentable one, and that he was the most unfortunate of human beings. His sufferings had been severe, and had been long-continued, although no one had ventured to impute to him any degree of criminality. His father had been an eminent solicitor, carrying on busi ness at Caernarvon, and had treated his son with great kindness and attention, until he had formed an illicit con nexion with a woman who had been living in his service. On discovering this, his father had turned him out of doors, and that bad been the origin of all the misfortunes that had befallen his client. He had been thrown destitute upon the world, and there was no doubt that on account of the ill-usage and provocations he received, he displayed, on some occasions, a great degree of irritability and eccentri city, which made some persons suppose that he was insane. He had, on this account, been on several occasions in con finement. But in May, 1831, he obtained his liberty, and then resided at Liverpool with his wife, and until the month of September 1833, when the occurrence took place which gave rise to the action, he conducted himself in a quiet and harmless manner. He might have been eccentric in some degree, but there was no pretence for saying that he was dangerous. Those who WO induced his father to turn him out of doors, instead of.treating him with kind-. ness, became his most persevering persecutors. L the month of September a great agricultural dinner took place in Liverpool, which was attended, arrtiig other distin guished characters, by the present Lord Stanley, then Mr. Stanley, Secretary of State for the Colonial department.. The plaintiff wished to present a paper to Mr. Stanley, and was directed to Lucas's Repository, where the dinner took place. He found the company at dinner, and presented his paper, and was about to withdraw, when he was violently laid hold of by a man named D er b ys hi re , w h o d ragge d hi m into the yard, and struck him with a pole. The plaintiff pulled out a pistol which he carried about him, as he was in the habit of exercising at a shooting gallery, but did not attempt to fire it. He was t a ke n bfore the Magistrates, and committed in default of bail, for an assault upon Der byshire. The defendants, Messrs. Rockliffe and Duckworth, are the proprietors of an extensively circulated newspaper, called the Liverpool Journal, and if they had merely given a simple account of the transaction, or had merely fallen into one of those unintentional eiras Which all journalists are liable to, the present action would never have been brought. They, however, thought it a capital opportunity to excite public interest, and extend the sale of their paper ; and, in order to stimulate public curiosity, they posted a placard all over Liverpool in these words :—" Our next will con tain an account of an attempt at assassination on the Duke of Richmond and the Hon. E. G. Stanley, at the late Agri cultural Dinner." This was signed by the defendants. The object of this libel evidently was to sell the newspaper, by imputing this monstrous crime to the plaintiff. On the 28th September, the next day for publishing the newspaper, the following article appeared. The Learned Counsel here read the article, which was headed—" Presumed At tempt to Assassinate two Cabitet Ministers," and proceeded to state that, during the Agricultural Dinner, John Grif fith Evans presented himself at the side door opposite to which Mr. Stanley and the Duke of Richmond were seated, and inquired what part of the room they sat in, and at tempted to force his way in, but was stopped and searched, and a horse-pistol and two large knives found on him. That the prisoner stated before the Magistrates that he merely wished to present a paper to the Colonial Se cretary, having a claim (on his f'ather's account) on the Government amounting to some hundreds of thousands. The article concluded by stating that they understood the plaintiff was deranged, and had been in confinement. Not content with this, the friends of tbe plaintiff called at the office of the newspaper, and requested that other state ments and libels would be published respecting him. It was not until repeated libels were published, and all explanation and apology refused, that the present action was brought. On-the 12th of October another article appeared, which was also calculated to injure the character and hurt the feelings of the unfortunate plaintiff. There was a third publication on the 2th of Octobe r , w hi c h was a l so com plained of. The plaintiff having obtained legal advice (as all apology had been refused) his attorney, previous to the action being brought, wrote to the defendants again, re questing that some explanation would be given, but no an swer was returned. Under these circumstances the r l , a 'i o .. tiff had no other resource left him but to seek re: tress f or the injury that had been inflicted upon him, The defen dants averred that these publications werc., true. He chal lenged them to prove a single fact—lei them prove that his client had any intention to inflict the slightest injury upon any individual, and he would give up the case. Under all the circumstances he would leave it to the Jury to say, after they had heard the evidence that would be submitted to them, whether the plaintiff was not entitled to a verdict, and to ample damages, for the injury inflicted upon him. William Orme, a watchmaker, residing at Liverpool, knew the plaintiff for some • years, and believed him a per fectly harmless man. Recollects plaintiff's being brought before Mr. Horsetail, the Mayor, the 25th of September, 1833, the day after the great agricultural dinner. Derby shire was there, and stated that Evans came to the door, and wished to present some papers. Derbyshire refused to admit him, and when he attempted to force his way, Derby shire pulled him forcibly back, and then that Evans pulled out a pistol. He was taken into custody. Derbyshire ad mitted that he struck Evans with a coach pole. Witness saw plaintiff after be was removed to the Lunatic Asylum, and he exhibited not the slightest symptoms of insanity, nor up to the present time. Cross-examined by the ATTORNEY-GENERAL.--Tho printed and written document now handed him is in the hand-writing of plaintiff. (Th e d ocumen t was rea d b y t h e Attorney-Gneral, which purported to be a record of the plaintiff, and was a most extraordinary farrago of nonsense. Its reading created great laughter.) Witness could not say whether the person who wrote that was sane or not, but he formed his opinion from the plaintiff's general con duct. (The horse pistol and the two knives which were found on the plaintiff's person, were here produced.) Wit ness cannot identify them. • He did not think the plaintiff had any intention of harming any person. although he might have carried them about his person. Mr. Hallows, a surgeon, visited the plaintiff in the Bo rough gaol of Liverpool, on the 14th of October, 1833. Saw him every day up to the 21st., and witness considered him perfectly sane and harmless. Is about 20 years in the profession, and it sometimes occurs that a madman might be sane for a week. A man who had been treated as Evans was, might write such an absurd paper as that put into his hand, and yet be sane. Andrew Gillon, a surgeon, practising for the last 16 years at Liverpool, saw plaintiff when in gaol in October 1833. He appeared to be at that time perfectly He should not form a favourable opitilou of the tniiid of the person who wrote such (Aileufilent as that read by the learned coupset The plaintiff suffered under no delusion whatever, bui was excited as much as a, man ought to be , when speaking of the manner in which be had been (IP prived of his father's property. Doctor Whalley, physician to the Lancashire Lunatic Asylum for the last three years.—Saw the plaintiff on 22d October, and visited him till the 3d December, and never saw any symptoms of insanity or excitement about him. He was then discharged. Thinks the mind of :a man who would write such a document as that alluded to could scarcely be souud. Doctor Wm. Mason, a physician residing at Caernarvon —Knows the plaintiff's father, who was an attorne:, and believes the plaintiff was articled to him ; has known the plaintiff from boyhood up to. 1827, and never observed anY indication of insanity. John Roberts, a surgeon, residing at Bangor—Has known the plaintiff for the last 30 years, and never observed the least symptoms of insanity about him. Mr. Williams, son of Captain Williams of Liverpool — Knows the plaintiff, who resided for some years there, and believes him to be perfectly sane. Edward Blackburne.—The plaintiff lodged in his house in Liverpool, and he never knew a quieter or better behaved man. The case for the plaintiff having closed, The ATTORNEY-GENERAL addressed the Jury for the defendants. It was quite plain, looking at all the circum stances connected with the plaintiff's conduct, that there was reasonable ground for supposing that the plaintiff me ditated the assassination of some person, and therefore there was nothing stated in the defendant's newspaper hut . what was fully borne out by th e f ac t. It was th e height of insanity in the plaintiff to bring such an action, well know ing what his conduct and demeanor had been for many years past. He regretted that be had been thus made the dupe of others, and that he should (The trial was not concluded when our reporter left.) NAVAL COURT-MARTIAL IN Tire: WEST INDIES. Yesterday we laid before our readers miieulars which had been forwarded to us by the proprirAor of the Devon port Independent of a court-martial 'geld at Kingston, Ja maica, on Capt. M'Causland, of Majesty's sloop of war Cruiser. To-day we are in rec,eipt of the Jamaica Papers of the Bth of December last, containing a full report of the, trial. Having, however, yester d ay g i ven an out li ne of the case, it is unnecer.sary for us to copy the report from the Jamaica papers, We will only transfer the sentence , which, it will bg perceived, contains not merely the deter mination of t! 4e Court, but also in the shape of a preamble, the whole of the charges : " SENTENCE. " The Court having carefully and deliberately weighed and considered the evidence in support of the charges, as well as wind the prisoner had to offer in his defence, and also the evi denced adduced in his behalf, and very maturely considered the whole, the Court is of opinion that the first charge, of hay ing charged several individuals certain► sums of money for their passage in His Majesty's sloop, Cruiser, under his com mand, from San Juan de Nicaragua and Chagres, to the island of Jamaica, is not proved, it appearing in evidence that Com mander M'Causland did, under the circumstances in which be was placed, by carrying the mails, render himself liable for the expenses incurred in entertaining at his table the individuals in question, and that he was justified in receiving a remuneration for the outlay which they occasioned to him in being accommo dated at his table. " That the 2d charge, of the passengers on board the Cruiser having been shamefully treated, is not proved, the c j i n plaint. of the said passengers being vexatious and unfoun'Argi. " That the charge of having minutely exam!ined the pas' sengers' luggage previous to its leaving the pis proved, he* was justifiable under the circumstances ir, evidence, but that there was no indelicate exposure of thq, ladies' clothes, and that the imputation to that effect, by 4 ,:ne passenger who was present, is false and malicious, and 'she Court do therefore ad judge the said Commander John 'M'Causland, of his Majesty' s sloop Cruiser , to be fully accr.itted of all the said charge' and he is hereby fully acqui!.,ted accordingly.

" The result of this trial is most gratifying to the merest+. tile community ; the character of the accused is not only not impeached 'oy it, but more exalted, if possible, in the esti mation of his friends. It has also established another point—: that w'uile ships of war are employed in conveying mails, their commanders are entitled to receive a remuneration for the out lay occasioned by passengers, who are accommodated at the captain's table."
