"darning .. 11 min. after 1 i Evening 31 min. after 1 OVieningrni be remembered especially that the encomiums pro- • nounced upon Sir C. NAPIER by the Noble Chairman were very different from those wretched compliments which are lavished upon each other by the ordinary class of after-dinner orators—those parasitical com pliments which are the prolific exudations of egotism —they were meeds of praise won at the point of the bayonet and at the muzzle of the carronade ; they were guerdons of applause purchased by a strong hand, and a gallant heart, and a vigilant and capacious in tellect ; they were the expressions of an approbation justified by the glorious victories of Meeanee and Hy derabad, extorted by the sudden expulsion of the Ameers, and by the rapid occupation of Sinde, and enhanced in enthusiasm by the brilliant adminis tration of the great country lying between the frontiers of Ajmeer and Beloochistan, be tween the southern boundaries of Gundava and the alternate swamps and deserts which lie to the north ward of the province of Choorwangur. It was well observed by the Earl of ELLEDIBOROUGH, that Sir CHARLES NAPIER might have been received with ac clamations in remembrance of his brilliant successes at the head of his regiment throughout the memor able campaigns of the Peninsula, and also in remem brance of his distinguished course when the govern ment of the lonian Islands was subsequently en trusted to his authority. But, honourable and meri torious as the conduct of the gallant officer had been in these the initiatory acts of his military and admi nistrative career, they will occupy but a subordi nate position in his biography, when contrasted with the splendid triumphs achieved by him on the classic banks of the Indus, when, after marching his army through the desert, he routed the Miners upon the mountains, and, while he enriched the Asiatic pos sessions of Great Britain by the acquisition of a mag nificent dominion, he rewarded the fidelity of an im portant ally in the person of the Nawaub of BRA WIILPOOIt. Victories such as these, which produced so many extraordinary results—victories second to none of those which have shed lustre on our arms in Hindostan, from Plessey to Sobraon—have entitled the Conqueror of Sinde to the admiration of his fellow-countrymen ; while the manner in which the Administrator of Sinde accompanied the exercise of an almost unlimited authority with the exercise of " justice—justice—justice," have entitled him in a very particular manner to the respect and gratitude of posterity—respect for power so em ployed, gratitude for the addition of glory which his probity has cast upon the national character. Fifty four years service in the British army have been well compensated by considerations such as these, by the sanction of an approving conscience, and by the plaudits of those who have no inducements whatever to degenerate into flatterers. Whatever may be the grievances resulting from the misrepresenta tions of his assailants, Sir CHARLES NAPIER must have derived some small solace from the affection with which his deeds and his very name have been remembered in his native land, and by the friendship of the illustrious noble man who filled the office of Governor-General during the time the conquest of Sinde was effected. It is a barren consolation to remind any distinguished man, that if his contemporaries are ungrateful, pos terity will evince impartiality. We would not give this consolation to Sir CHARLES NAPIER ; we would, on the contrary, assure him that posterity will not more fully appreciate his glorious career than a very large and reflective, and not altogether uninfluential, portion of his immediate contemporaries. patriotic self-devotion, with which he was satisfied to sacrifice even life itself for what he believed to be the benefit of his country. We do not in the slightest degree attempt or desire to justify the course which Mr. O'BRIEN has pursued. From the moment that Mr. O'BRIEN became the advocate of physical force— that he aban doned the moral force doctrines under and by which so many triumphant victories were obtained—he had no more strenuous or uncompromising opponent than ourselves ; but our conscientious opposition never led us to ascribe improper or paltry:motives; on the con trary, we ever believed him to be a perfectly honest and consistent, although a most mistaken, politician. The manner in which the Lor44Thief Justice pro nounced sentence upon the prisoner encourages the hope that the Judges will support the unanimous re commendation of the jury. Whenever there is any doubt as to the result—whenever there is reason to suppose that the extreme penalty of the law may be enforced, it is the invariable rule to warn the convict against indulging in any fallacious hopes that cannot be realised. This is more especially the case when the jurors have accompanied their verdict by the expression of their opinion that the life of the prisoner should be spared. We cannot recal to our recollection a single instance in modern times, in which a party was executed without such a warning and;intimation being conveyed along with the sen tence. The Lord Chief Justice was, however, silent on this point. He stated that the recommendation would be forwarded to the LORD•LIEUTENANT, to whom exclusively belonged the power of complying therewith; but he did not add, that the Judges could not coincide in the recommendation, or support it by their approval. This, then, as we have already stated, affords the strongest indication as to the ulti mate fate of the prisoner. We have already repeatedly advanced reasons, both on public and private grounds, why the extreme penalty should be remitted. We pointed out the impolicy of exasperating the Irish mind, of converting the unfortunate gentleman into a popular idol, whose follies and imperfections would be forgotten, who would be regarded as a martyred patriot, a hero, whose memory would be enshrined and his name conse crated in the wild melodies of his country. If he be spared, in a brief period his history will be forgotten, and he will speedily sink into oblivion; but, other wise, new opponents of the British power will spring from his ashes. The scaffold, watered with his blood, will constitute a soil from whence a goodly crop of treason may be looked for. There is one :point, however, to which we briefly alluded on Tuesday, to which we may return, and offer a few additional observations. We then stated " that if the extreme penalty was carried into execu tion it might be asserted, with truth, that the same protection and justice is not afforded to the Irish people that may be claimed by every British citizen ; that the sufferer would be regarded as the victim of partial and unequal laws, and a new and powerful argument would be given to all classes of Repealers, viz., that the fundamental provisions of the Act of Union had been violated, and set aside, and that in a point involving the life and property of an Irish gen tleman, many years the representative of an important constituency in the Imperial Parliament." The Sixth Article of the Treaty of Union—the sacred compact entered into by two independent nations, and to the due observance of which the stational faith, the national honour, the very oath of the SOVEREIGN, were solemnly pledged —is to the effect : " That his MAJESTY'S subjects of Great Britain' and Ireland shall from and after the first day of January, 1801, be entitled to the same privileges, and be on the same footing in every respect as to all rights and advantages both at home and abroad." We are aware that it has been suggested that this article is lin - iited to trade, navigation, and foreign treaties, but we confess that the interpretation which an eminent member of the Irish bar, Mr. HERCULES ELLIS, has placed thereon appears more reasonable. That Learned Gentleman maintained "that the first section of the sixth article contained four paragraphs which are indeed four distinct covenants entered into between Great Britain and Ireland—four of those terms and conditions upon which Ireland consented to be united to Great Britain. The first paragraph covenanted that from and after the Ist January, 1801, his MA JESTY'S subjects of Great Britain and Ireland shall enjoy the same privileges." Surely this is plain and distinct, and it is also a very probable demand, one that would certainly be made by a nation about to surrender its independent existence and to be amalga mated in every respec t with another. It is scarcely probable that the Irish Legislature would make such stringent stipulations as to encouragement and bounties on the same articles as to trade and commerce, and with respect to all foreign treaties, and be utterly silent as to the lives and pro perties of the people. It is not credible that such negligence would be exhibited in a matter of such vital importance. It was felt, however, that in de manding the same privileges all that could be desired was obtained. It may, therefore, we think, fairly be assumed that not only the express words of the article, but its spirit demanded that the constitutional privileges enjoyed by Englishmen should be participated in by every Irishman. We ask is this the case ? Let the Lord Chief Justice answer. When Mr. `ti HITESIDE suggested of a case alluded to by the Learned Judge in the course of his charge, that it was an English case, where the accused had a list of witnesses eleven days before, his Lordship acknow !edged the justice of the remark, and said, " that the prisoner is exposed to the disadvantage, or, rather, he is not entitled to the advantage which he would have received in England of being furnished with a list of witnesses." After this acknowledgment it cannot be asserted that the Irish have equal "privileges" with English subjects. And we, therefore, submit that if Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN be executed there will be a grave violation of that article. If there were no other grounds for an extension of mercy than that we have suggested, it would, we think, be amply sufficient for the pur pose ; but, coupled with the other facts to which we have already directed the public attention, it is in our opinion perfectly irresistible. A convivial banquet was given to Sir CHARLES N APIEE, in his capacity of Conqueror and Adminis trator of Sinde, exactly a week ago, namely, on Thursday evening, the sth of this present Oc tober, in the palatial hotel, situated at the end of the Promenade in Cheltenham. The Earl of ELLEN• BOROUGH, attracted thither from his quaint old man sion at Southern, was the chairman Among the company, composed principally of military ar.d naval officers, were distinguishable the features of " the gallant Welsh artilleryman LLOYD," whose batteries often mowed down the enemy with such deadly precision, those of WILEY, " who fell wounded while cheering on his companions in the battle," those of " young M'MuaDo," who hazarded his life by plunging, sword in hand, among the combatants, and those also of several others who have reaped honour, if not emolument, by their valiant deeds in the peninsula of Hindostan. A report of the 'eulo gistic speeches delivered upon this very interesting occasion will be found in another portion of this LONDON, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 12, 1141. The last dread sentence of the law has been pro nounced upon Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN. The brutal and repulsive enactment, befitting a degraded and barba rous nation, but a stain upon and a disgrace to the British statute book, is to be carried into execution upon a chivalrous and high.mindel gentleman, and unless her MAJESTY should exercise her most glorious prerogative in his favour within a brief period, WILLIAM SMITH O'BRIEN will be" drawn on a hurdle to the place of execution, and be there hanged by the neck until he is dead, that afterwards his head shall be severed from his body, his body severed into four quarters, to be disposed of as her MAJESTY shall think fit." Such is the judgment which the Learned Judges, who so ably and impartially presided during the trial, were compelled to deliver ; but most sin cerely and earnestly do we hope that no attempt may be made to carry that judgment into execution. The short address uttered by Mr. O'BRIEN, when called upon to state any reason why sentence of death and execution should not be passed upon him, has been strongly commented upon by several of our contemporaries. It has been described as an out break of temper —a defiance of the SOVEREIGN and the Judges, an act of vulgar bravado and peevish persistance in crime. Now, we must most empha tically protest against this most unfair and unwar ranted construction. Mr. O'BRIEN neither defied the Court nor the law—he evinced no unmanly petu lance or braggart recklessness, but in a calm and dignified spirit he declared the truth and sincerity of his convictions, and expressed his readiness to seal the testimony with his blood upon the scaffold. Had he exhibited ade pres—d or cowardly bearing, had he implored mercy from the power he defied, he would halve become merely contemptible, and there would have been strong grounds for supposing, that overweening vanity, a craving for notoriety, and a desire of per sonal stgrandisement had been his ruling passion. But his calm assertion, even in that dreadful mo ment, that he had but discharged the duty which, in his opinion, every Irishman owed to his country, and the declaration, that he was prepared to abide the con sequences of his act, afforded the strongest evidence Df the integrity and purity of his motives, of the evening's impression. It is with peculiar pleasure—a pleasure only com mensurate in its depth with the fullness of our ap preciation of the achievements of the illustrious Captain, in whose honour the banquet was pro vided—that we record, as a fait (or shall we say a fete) accompli, a dinner given to the Conqueror and Administrator of Sinde within the distance of half a dozen miles from the country resi dence of the Earl of ELLENBOROUGH, and with that eminent nobleman himself officiating as chairman. It seems like a jovial retribution cast about the ears of a clique of political antagonists—like a thorn of merriment employed to puncture the sides of that miserable clique, that clique which Sir CHARLES NAPIER rather bitterly designated as " a party of damned scoundrels—a rascally press and a rascally Government" Waiving altogether the soldierlike bluntness of the allusion, we do sympathise most cordially with the emotions which must have been experienced by the illustrious guest on Thursday evening, when he found himself once more in Eng land surrounded by his old companions in arms, and when he heard his name mentioned, moreover, in terms of earnest and deserved panegyric by the lips of a man no less distinguished in statesmanship and administration than the ex-Governor-General of British India, the Earl of ELLENBOROUGIL It must THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. The Patrie has the following on the Ministerial, or, more properly speaking, on the Governmental crisis : " There is no longer any question of a Ministerial modification, nor of the retirement of General Cavaig nac. The General has to-day told his friends that he should remain at the head of the Government until the election of the President of the Republic." The same journal says— " Last evening at sevan o'clock the following mo dification of the Ministry was handed about at the National Assembly as definitively settled :—General Bedeau, Foreign Affairs; M. Dufaure, Interior; M. Havin, Public Instruction ; and M. Bastide, Public Works. M. Vivien was spoken of for Justice, and M. Achille Fould or M. Gouin for Finance, but nothing has yet been decided on these two points. At the moment of going to press, General Cavaignac, it is said, was hesitating to accept two Republicans of the Surlendemmin in place of MM. Marie and Goud chaux." There is, it appears, a split in the Opposition camp which tends greatly to strengthen the position of General CAVAIGNAC. M. TRIERS, eager for office, is anxious to upset the Ministry at once, and to have a new Ministry appointed, of which his brother-in law, General LAMORICIIIRE shall be nominally Presi dent, but which he himself (M. Timm) shall inspire. Count MOLE, considering that all Ministerial changes must at the present moment tend to weaken the Government, and that a strong Government is above all things to be desired, refuses to take part in these intrigues against General CAVAIGNAC, and is willing to afford the General every assistance in his power. The sitting of the Assembly on Tuesday was occu pied in discussing the proposition of M. WoLowsm, for issuing paper money guaranteed on landed pro perty. The proposition was opposed by M. TRIERS and Al. GOUDCHAUX, and the debate was adjourned. In the course of the debate the Finance Minister assured the Assembly that the wants of the public service for the next seventeen months were pro vided for. The Finance Committee heard, on Monday, the Minister of Finance and M. YAW', Liquidator of the Civil List, on the proposition relative to the debts of the late Royal Family. The Committee, considering the difficult position of the creditors of the Civil List, resolved to call on the Assembly to appoint an early day for the discussion of their claims. The project of decree, as amended by the Minister of Finance, maintained the sequestration, and authorised the Minister, a delegate, or liquidator, to mortgage the property, and contract a loan to pay the creditors of the Civil List. It also em powered the Minister of Finance to make a provi sion for the Princes of the Royal Family, and to return to them their moveable property and jointures, The proposition for issuing . paper money, on the security of landed property, was ultimately rejected by the Assembly by a majority of 578 against 210. The Assembly afterwards repealed, without any discussion, the law of the 10th of April, 1832, which banished the family of IslaroLzox from the French territory. A disagreeable rencontre took place in the salle des pas perdus (the lobby of the National Assembly), between M. BAsTinß, the Minister for Foreign Af fairs, and M. THouABD, formerly the vice-president of the Blanqui Club. M. THOUARD came to the hall, as he said, to meet M. BASTIDE. As soon as M. BASTIDE (who was accompanied by his chef de cabinet, M. HETZEL) appeared, M. THOUARD approached and spat in M. BAsTIDE's face. Both M. BASTIDE and M. HETZEL put their hands to their pockets as if in search of arms ; but the guard coming up, M. THOUARD was at once arrested. It appears that M. THOUARD bad been appointed Vice-Consul at Naples ; but, after he had gone as far as Marseilles, towards that destination, he was recalled and ordered to go to Guayaquil. Three days afterwards, however, he was dismissed from the latter post, and he has since written both to M. BASTIDE and M. HETZEL, threat ening to poignard them.

The Charge de .Affaires of the Central German Government has transmitted the following note to the Federal Directory of Switzerland : titans had been forced to seek protection in the city. It was said that the Second Chamber was disposed to accept the second son of the King of NArLEs as their Sovereign, with a constitution. " After the unfortunate result of the revolution at tempted by Hecker and his associates in the Grand Duchy of Baden, the fugitives for the most part withdrew to the Swiss territory. Never had the German Governments, though united in confedera tion, any idea of dem anding th e i r ex t ra diti o n, or of requiring that the right of asylum should be refused to them, as long as the refugees could be considered as peaceful inhabitants of Switzerland. But that is what they never have been, or, at least, what they have been during but a short time. The refugees continued their machinations without interruption ; they kept up relations with the inhabitants of southern Germany ; they distributed a number of seditious writings; they endeavoured to weaken the discipline of the German troops, and produced such an agitation in the said states that to place on foot a considerable body of troops became necessary. Circumstances obliged the Germanic Diet, which, up to the esta blishment of the Central Provisional Govern ment, had the care of the common in terests of Germany, to take such measures as were proper to prevent the perturbation of tranquillity in the German states. To that effect it addressed, on July 30, 1848, the Directory a note in which, while exposing its causes of com plaint, it demanded strongly that the armed refugees should be removed from the frontier cantons where they were beginning to exercise themselves in arms. Major de Liel, in the Bavarian service, was charged to hand in this note personally, and to add such ex planations as might be required. That gentleman addressed, about the ad of August, 1848, to the Archduke Vicar of the Empire, who had in the meantime been charged with the central power of Germany, a report on his mission, appending to it a verbal note addressed to him by the President of the Directory. This verbal note declared the complaints of the Germanic Diet to be not well founded, inas much as it declared that according to the communi cations made by the Cantonal Governments, there was no question of the organisation of any body of refugees for military exercise, or of their uniting for the purpose of aggression; that on the contrary the refugees remained quiet, subject to a special control on the part of the cantonal authorities, who were firmly determined not to tolerate that abuse of the right of asylum, contrary to the interests of Swit zerland, as well as to the policy which she had up to that time followed. After such declarations and as surances, the Government of the Vicar of the Empire couldsubmitto the Vicar of the Empire the question to ascertain if the measures taken by the Cerman Diet for the safety of the German territory were justified, and if the indications given by the Cantonal Govern ments were true. Struve and his accomplices, whose presence and agitations along the German frontier had called forth the complaints of the German Diet, afew days ago made an invasion into the Grand Duchy of Baden. Rapine and forced contributions marked their passage, and their proclamations only too well proved that their criminal enterprise was the violent overthrow of existing order, for the purpose of sub stituting for it, under the mask of liberty, the most terrible terrorism and the most frightful despotism. Although the valour of the troops of the empire, and the attachment of the citizens to their constitution and to legal order, baffled the infamous designs of these free corps, however that event imposes on the Government of the Vicar of the Empire the duty to adopt such measures as the honour and safety of Germany demand. The preparations for this inva sion could not have escaped the notice of the Can tonal Governments. Nevertheless, this violation so flagrant of the duties imposed by the right of nations has taken place—a violation for which the Go vernment of the Vicar of the Empire demands a complete satisfaction, and in the shortest delay. The Central Provisional Government has been anxious to express the high value which it attaches to re entering on the most amicable relations with the Con federation, but it recognises also the gravity of the duties which are imposed on it relative to Germany, and it will know how to fulfil them. It is in con formity with these duties that it demands that the Governments of the Cantons in which the organisa tion of the free corps took place should at once pro ceed to a searching investigation, and to the punish ment of the functionaries and authorities who are in fault ; that all the refugees be immediately disarmed, and, as their complete removal from the cantons would be an unconstitutional act, that they be dis persed to a suitable distance from the German fron tier, and placed under the inspection of the polke ; in fine, that it be declared in a positive manner what guarantees can be given that similar events, capable of stifling the germs of liberty in Germany, shall not again take place. Should these demands not be com plied with in the shortest possible delay, the Vicar of the Empire, convinced that it will enter the lists for liberty, and not against it, and that it will have for adversaries, not the Swiss people, but those who despise laws and civilization, will exhaust all the means the application of which can be justified by the violations mentioned above, of performing the duties imposed by the right of nations, and demanded by the honour of Gerniany.—Berne, Oct. 4." MONEY mid COMmE atchu, E CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The Cotton Market at Liverpool, yesterday, was steady. Sales 4,000 to 5,000 bales at previous rates. Shares were a little brisker. _ As the dividends will to-morrow and subsequently, give to annuitants a sum of six or seven millions sterling, from which it is but lair to assume there may be a good surplus available for re-investmeat, we shall be curious to observe what may be the security selected. In the present dull state of trade, and with money exceedingly cheap, there cannot be much pros pect of discount business absorbing any additional amount to that already in the coffers of the bankers, and there remains but the choice of transferable or fixed properties. Stocks and shares constitute the former, land and houses the latter. The public securities will, no doubt, as usual, come in for the larger share of favour, as many wealthy parties make it a practice to add periodically to their stake, and shares no doubt would have proved attractive had they been 30 or 40 per cent. higher. Yes, we repeat the word, higher, for it is a remarkable fact that whereas all the world was mad for railway speculations when it should have kept aloof, because the temp• tation of 3 or 4 flier cent, did really not repay the risk, seeing the liabilities into which the companies were rushing, every one now is sacrificing his shares at half what they cost, and at rates bringing 6 or 7 per cent. per annum, with improved management and curtailed responsibilities. Our contemporary the 7irnes, after a prolonged silence, and without having the slightest claim to having warned the public of the pre sent reaction, or enlightened it as to the capital accounts of the great companies, and the necessity for searching inquiry, now comes forward to aggravate the panic, and arrogate to itself the mischievous reputation of " having done it all." It is easy to take advantage of a temporary feeling of alarm, and to foment uneasiness, especially where little scrupulousness is exhibited in distorting or colouring information only partly founded on facts. It may be true, for instance, that Parliament has sanc tioned lines which if executed would involve an outlay of 134,000,0001., and, not having time just now, we will ac cept the statement as correct, even though we have misgivings on that score, but should it not, in candour, have been added that not one halt; probably not a third, of the schemes will ever be carried out, and that the annual expenditure for the next two years will be far less than it has been at any period since 1845—that the cost of construction will be greatly reduced, and that branch lines are steadily coming into use, and by promoting facilities of internal communi cation, adding to our means of manufacturing and competing with foreign countries, bringing metallic wealth from abroad, as well as economizing labour and capital at home—should not these things have been stated to stay the sacrifices in too many cases unnecessarily made? But our Contemporary, regardless of consequences, writes simply for effect. It has a giant's power and mercilessly uses it. Let us hope that for once, however, the holders will judge for them selves, look to substantial grievances, urge the gradual closing of " capital a c counts," the limitation of calls, the publication of unreserved financial statements, and reject the bugbear that there are new railways costing 134,000,0001. about to swallow up the national resources. This is a Jewish holiday, and many parties are absent in consequence. The Funds are improving after the unaccountable de pression of the last day or two.

The Regent has announced to the various German States, that it is his intention to appoint commis•• sioners of the empire, who are to be his own special delegates in the various camps which have been formed for the effectual repression of anarchical move ments in Germany.

The Piedrnontese Gazette of the 6th inst. announces that the King of SARDINIA has named Genera l DURAND°, lately in the service of his HOLINESS, his aide-decamp, as also Major -General Doss'.

TUSCANY. The affairs of Leghorn are settled satisfactorily. On the 4th inst. the deputation returned from Florence, and was received by an immense crowd of the inhabitants of Leghorn. The G-onfaloniere FABRI, one of the members of the deputation, ad dressed the multitude, and said :—" We have pre sented to the Ministers the instructions which we received from the people of Leghorn. All our de mands have been accorded by the Grand DuKr. We had, in the first instance, pointed out our fellow-citizen GUERRAZZI, as Governor of our town; but having learnt that this nomination would meet with many obstacles, we thought of the Professor MONTANELLI, which has been agreed to by the Go vernment. lie has accepted the functions of Governor on condition that he should be allowed to increase the Municipal Guard, as he might require it, and to re cognise the National Guard, and also to take definitive measures." A great nu nber of the people still wished for GUERRAZZI, but in the end the meeting agreed to accept of MONTANELLI, who is now at Leghorn. LO3IBA 1{1) Y. - The Milan Gazette of the 4th instant publishes the following edict, signed by General WIMPFEN, the Governor of the city : " A patrol, composed of a noncommissioned offic er and two soldi ers , were es corting an individual to the police- court, who had been accused of various rob beries. The patrol was surrounded by a tumultuous crowd, and in the confusion the robber escaped. The Governor, by order of Marshal Radetzky, whil st waiting the re su lt o f the inquiry instituted for th e discovery of th e o ff en d ers , reminds the . populati on o f Milan that the city being in a state of siege, whoever is captured while insulting a sentinel, or exciting disturbance, shall be infallibly sentenced to death, and shot."

GLASGOW.—DANGEROUS AMUSEMENT.—At a late hour on Friday evening, a seamen was observed in Buchanan•street, taking a pistol out of his pocket, which ho deliberately raised above his head, and tired off. The report considerably alarmed the passers-by, and the offender was promptly seized by a watchman and taken to tE• central police-office. On being searched a second pistol was got on his person, which, on examination, was found loaded with small pellets. The charge was drawn and a heavy pledge having been exacted from the ma riner for his appearance at the police court the following day, he was liberated; the somewhat alarming occur rence being considered nothing more serious than a frolic on the part of the seaman. The case was gone into the following day (Saturday), when the defendant appeared in court to answer the charge. The evidence adduced having sufficiently established the alarming nature of the offence, the sitting magistrate (sailie D. Smith) inflicted 6 6110 a two guineas.

This bankrupt, described as a relievo leather manu facturer, and whose certificate had been adjourned for twelve months, came up for a renewal of his protection, which had been granted for three months. After evidence had been given to show that the bank rupt, immediately after the issuing of the fiat, had com menced and continued to carry on business on his own account, under the name of an assumed firm, His HONOUR said it was a very bad case, and arose from one of the errors of the bankrupt law, but the protection would not be withdrawn. SHERIFF'S COURT.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Undersheriff BURCHEI.I..) VINES V. SMITH. This was an action to recover the sum of 6L for rent due for premises at Stepney. The action was com menced so far back as 1845, but no plea had been put in and the proceedings were continued. There was no de fence to the action, and the reply to the plaintiff's agent was that his wife would not let him pay. The jury found for the amount. GHISLIN V. DEAN. The plaintiff in this action is proprietor of the Satirist newspaper ; defendant is a tailor in Oxford-street ; and the claim was for 61. ss. for insertion of advertisements in that paper. The orders were put in, and also a promise to pay the declaration filed at the Stamp-office was put in, to prove that plaintiff was sole proprietor ; it was, however,_ ob. jected that the d eman d h a d b een ma d e on b e h a lf of the " proprietors," and the declaration did not prove itself. The UNDER-SHERIFF said it was no unusual thing to write in the plural number, especially in newspaper affairs. Everybody had heard of the editors' " we," and so it might be " we, the proprietors."—(Laughter.) As to the declaration, if it had not been called for by defendant himself, he should not have admitted it, for it was only plaintiff's own statement, in pursuance of the law, to give any person injured the opportunity of dis covering who was the party against whom they could proceed. The jury gave a verdict for the full amount. ATTWOOD V. HOLT. This was an action brought by the plaintiff as vicar of Hammersmith, to recover certain charges on de fendant under the Tithe Commutation Act. There was no defence, but an attorney said he watched the case for defendant, as other proceedings were pend ing in the Court above to set the present aside. The assessment having been duly proved, a verdict was given for the plaintiff. These were the only cases. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. POWNALL, Chairman, and a full bench of Magistrates.) This :being licensing day the court was very fully attended. A great number of licenses were granted, or renewed without opposition. Mr. BODKIN applied for a music license for Mr. Charles Claudius Cook©, of the Pier Hotel, Cheyne walk, Cheltea, whi c h, a f ter a s h ort discussion, was granted. A music license was, after some discussion, granted to the Beaumont Institution, Mile-end, in the name of the secretary, who was informed that the license was per sonal, and that in the event of his ceasing to be secre tary, it would require to be renewed. DERBY SWEEPS ♦ND UNLICENSED MUSIC. The CHAIRMAN took occasion to observe that the Court was determined to put down those petty lotteries called Derby Sweeps, which were now so general in public-houses. The Court had received no return of the houses in which those illegal and mischievous schemes were carried on. But he now called on the inspectors of police to attend in future to this duty, and licenses would be in future withheld from those persons who abused them for purposes so different from those for which they were granted. On the subject of music licenses the Learned Gentleman also observed, that there was a strong feeling amongst the members of that bench that there was a very prevalent abuse amongst houses which had not obtained music licenses, but in which musical entertainments were given to the injury of those houses which had been duly licensed. He wished that the police would be particular in their seve ral districts, to report every house in which the illegal practice was carried on, and the owners of those places would find, when they came before the Court, that their licenses were in jeopardy. WORSHIP-STREET.-(THIS DAI.) Walter Sturt Tonge, a clerk at the Victoria Cemetery, was charged with embezzling various sums of money, the property of the company. It appears that this elegantly laid out burial place has been opened about three years, and that during that period the prisoner has been employed to receive monies for the opening of graves, &c., &c., and from the fact of his being most respectably connected the utmost confi dence was reposed in him. A handsome residence was provided for him, and he was also allowed a liberal salary. It was the duty of the pri soner to pay in to the company's solicitor, Mr. Humphreys, from time to time, the amount he had received, and his conduct in this respect was apparently unimpeachable. At length, however, certain discrepan cies on his part were discovered by Mr. Humphreys, which led to an investigation into the prisoner's ac counts, which resulted in his being given into the cus tody of a police-constable. A gentleman, on the part of Mr. Humphreys, sug gested the propriety of a remand, as, in addition to the delinquencies which were then ready to be gone into, there were a number of others, some of which would perhaps be more conclusive against the prisoner. The ➢Magistrate acquiesced, and the prisoner was ac cordingly remanded until Wednesday next. Mr. Hudson, M.P., accompanied by Mrs. and Miss Hudson, Mr. Hudson, jun., Mr. Duudas, M.P., and the Rev. Mr. Brown, took their departure from Lowther Castle, on Wednesday last, for Newby Park, the latest accounts from which place represent Mr. Hudson to be perfectly recovered from his recent indisposition, and as actively engaged as ever in the discharge of his multifa rious duties. On the same day, Miss Lowther and Miss Ellen Lowther left the castle, where they had been visit ing during the preceding week, for Distington. Colonel Macadam, li.H., has arrived at Bath, from Torquay. Colonel and Mrs. Chatterton left town yesterday morning, on a tour in North Wales. Miss Burdett Coutts, accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. Brown, passed through Ulverston on Friday week, on their way to Furness Abbey, where they remained that evening. Alter visiting on the following day Co nishead Priory, they took their departure for the Ft rry Inn, on the banks of Windermere.
