Her MAJESTY'S Foreign Secretary had better, like Lord BYRON at Missolongbi, " look around, and choose his ground, and take his rest "—at once. His Popularity can never survive the assaults of the Hon. representative of Youghal. Mr. CHISHOLM ANSTEY is blasting his reputation with the breath not of a petty slander, but of a stupendous iippeachment. Lord PALsixastoti is accused of no incidental fraud upon the State —of no casual dereliction of duty—of no temporary abatement of loyalty—of no intermittent withdrawal from a patriotic policy—of no sudden hallucination of judgment —of no excusable act of peculation—of no isolated concession to the enemies of his country. No. his assailant deals in charges more heinous in charac ter, more gigantic in dimensions, more com prehensive in regard both to time, operation, and cir cumstance. The Noble Viscount, the Member for Tiverton, is solemnly, and deliberately, and explicitly impeached before Parliament as a traitor. llis whole career is declared to have been a series of splendid a t roc ities. The betrayal of his native land, th e jeopardising of the constitution, the territorial aug mentation of the dominions of the AUTOCRAT, the imperilling of E uro p e, and the gradual abandon ment of the provinces conductminogsttcohlelriinshdeodstaonb objects of described as having been the of his ambition. Since 1830, if we are to believe Mr. ANSTET, t h e course pursued by Lord PALMERSTON has been such a 3 sub jects him to the execration of his fellow -citizens, and renders him amenable to the laws fabricated for H the e x pi a ti on o f th e cr i m e of high treason. 13 guilt is second only to that of another most execrable and equally treasonous statesman—that statesman being none other than the Right Hon. CIIARLES JAMES Fox Nay, the Hon. Representative of Youghal declared it to be his intention " to trace the Noble Lord step by step, to enumerate the material points of his policy, and to establish in every case a violation on the part of the Noble Lord of the laws of this country, of the laws of nations, of the laws of nature, and of the laws of Goo " That is the programme sketched out yesterday evening by Mr. ANSTEY of his mon- S ster n motion in reference to our foreign relations. jzii46arges are in no manner partial, or insinuative, j = ";-, - or implicative, or dubious. Ile not only declares his resO tion to prove the existence of a perfidious and raitorous motive in several of the acts of the -`-'-';:;; No Viscount, as Foreign Secretary for England, e proclaims his determination to show that the r nminality of Lord PAL3IERSTON . IS the very vitality of every one of those gets—that his whole policy from f • 4r • nos luto • Drift. • ti A aVYI THE SIT N, LONDON, first to last has been (so to speak) literally permeated with treason. "If I fail," said the Honourable and Learned Gentleman, in one part of his observations, "If l fail," said he, " in prosecuting the Noble Lord, there is no censure, no chastisement which this House has legally the power to inflict which I shall not most. richly deserve." Air. ANSTEY is quite correct; and, we trust that this, his voluntary declaration, will not be very :speedily forgotten. He will in that event have most richly deserved the severest censure and the heaviest chastisement the House of Commons can inflict—firstly, because he will have wasted the time of the public which is just now inexpressibly valuable; and, secondly, because he will have calum niated the name and assailed the reputation of a distinguished public man—a name and a reputa tion which are the property of the people and of history. It is by no means difficult to discover the ori3in of this flagrant onslaught upon the Foreign Secrets ry. The reason is as transparent as the personal hostility of Mr. URQUHART. Mr. ANSTEY is as much t;he victim of a monomaniacal rage against Lord PA.1..- MERSTON as good, simple Mr. PLUMPTRE is affliet;ed with what the Right Honourable and Learned Gen tleman the. Master of the Mint called on Monday evening—Hebrewphobia. But in the case of the Member for Y oughal there is this secondary incitement—(an incitement which deprives us of all commiseration in his madness)—bis diseased anxiety to render himself suddenly con spicuous. In striving to achieve for himself a cur tain amount of popularity by such an adventure as the one we have just indicated, Mr. ANSTEY has made a grievous and, we cannot but think, an irreparable blunder. In struggling to become all at once poi-- manently important he will only render hitmelf momentarily notorious. lie is making an unwhole some effort to be the object of general admira tion, and in so doing he is only ensuring to himself an universal ridicule. Instead of displaying his own strength by Lord PALMERSTON's wealin6ss, he will reveal his utter insignificance when contrasted with the virile energies of his opponent. He is straining the thews of his intellect—in vain—to bend ;he colossal bow of an Ulysses—let him beware that in the midst of his futile exertions he be not himself felled to the dust by the shaft discharged from a bow as subtle and as potent as that of Cupid! Mr. ANSTEY should bear this in his recollection, that as a young and inexperienced Member of the National Legislature, it ill becomes him to assail a statesman whose reputation was ripened into celebrity before his own fingers had done with the deleclus and the lexicon. Already we should hope that the re presentative of Youghal has seen the magnitude of his mistake—from the contemptuous unanimity with which the Members walked out into the lobby when his speech commenced, and from the ignominious celerity with which the House was counted out bo fore its conclusion. The obstinacy of the King of NAPLES has forwarded the cause of constitutional liberty in Italy. By his refusal to imitate the examples of the POPE, the King of SARDINIA, and the Grand Duke of TUSCANY, who wisely placed themselves at the head of the reform movement from the first, and were thus enabled wisely and peacefully to prepare the way for a gradual and safe transition from a despotic to a constitutional form of government, the King of NArLEs placed himself in direct antagonism with the spirit of nationality which is developing itself throughout Italy with a force, against which, eventually, even the bayonets of Austria will be of no avail ; and the consequence has been, as every one of common observation must have foreseen, that he has been utterly defeated, and forced to go much further even than those whose examples he scorned to imitate. He has been forced to give to his people a constitution, and thus Naples, which, a month since, was the most retrograde of the Italian States is now the most ad vanced in the onward march of progress. It is a curious coincidence that, on the very day, and almost at the very hour M. GUIZOT was pro claiming in the Chamber of Deputies his conviction that the question of giving constitutions to the Italian States would not arise for the next fifty years, and that therefore it was absurd for the pre sent generation to trouble themselves about that which could only concern their posterity, it is, we repeat, a singular coincidence that at that very mo ment the King of NAPLES should have been in the act of proclaiming a constitution, and of thus raising the very question which M. GUIZOT (by whose ad vice the King of NAPLES, it is said, has acted in refusing all reforms) so complacently, imagined he had succeeded in shelving. The success of the Nea politan movement will give rise to very grave compli cations in the affairs of Italy ; and we trust that the leaders of the Neapolitan nation will be enabled to guide it so as to avoid giving any pretence for foreign interference. It is clear that they must rely on themselves alone, for the KING cannot ,be trusted, and will rather be a spy and a betrayer of their counsels to Austria, an urger on to deeds of violence by which they may commit themselves:than, as CHARLES ALBERT iS,, a friend and a leader in whom they may repose confi dence, or a moderator on whose integrity and good with the most implicate reliance may be placed, if they need advice, they should rather seek it from the Porn, and from the King of SARDINIA, or from the Grand Duke of TUSOINT, than from their own SOVEREIGN. We cannot forget that in 1821 the the❑ King of NAPLES played precisely the same part that is being played at this moment by the present KING, and that he afterwards betrayed the constitu tion he had sworn to defend, and, backed by Austrian troops, persecuted all those who had been instru mental in freeing their country. That the same dis position exists on the part of the present KING it is impossible to doubt, and there is still the same secret article of the treaty of 1815 to authorise Aus trian intervention in the affairs . of Naples now as then ; but inasmuch as we believe the Austrian Government is perfectly aware that there are cases in which "discretion is the better part of valour," we are not very apprehensive of any immediate attempt on the part of Prince 111ETTERNICII to put down the cause of constitutional liberty in Naples. In the first place, we believe he would find considerable difficulty in transporting his army to the scene of action. Pius IX. would most assuredly not imitate the example of Pius VII., in giving a free passage to the Austrian troops through the States of the Church, neither could Austria reckon on the assistance of Sardinia or Tuscany to keep Lombardy quiet. Not a soldier, therefore, could Austria spare from Lombardy to as sist the King of NAPLES in coercing his subjects. The withdrawal of any considerable portion of Austrian troops from the Lombardo-Venetian kingdom would be the signal for an outbreak, which would receive moral, at least, if not physical support, from every Italian state bordering on the Austrian dominions. Neither can any large force be spared from any other portion of the Austrian possessions. Bohemia, Hungary, Gallicia, are only retained in their allegiance by the presence, in each of them, of an overwhelming Austrian force, from which not a single soldier can be spared ; and as Austria has no money, and has recently been refused a loan, it is not probabl e th a t s h e w ill b e en abled to levy any fresh troops for the purpose of aiding the King of NAPLES. pru :N d a e l ne e e s' a t n li d erfre fierornnes has 3 to i workt n oin h ot it her r r e p w ow h er,by rege neration, and to take a leading part in working out the regeneration of the wh I •0 c Italian nation.

Sales, 4,500 bales. Railway Shares were very quiet again. There is very little news here this morning. The accounts received from the Continent state that the firms which recently stopped payment are making ar rangements for placing their affairs in the hands of their creditors, or for otherwise having them administered in the Bankruptcy Court. The impediment to the renewal of the debate on the Jewish Bill causes much disappointment here. The Indigo sales are going off at advanced rates. Messrs. John Kingston and Co., in the West India trade, have suspended payment. The Public Securities are rather firmer this morning; but there is very little business doing.

Letters from Turin of the 3d Feb. state that nu merous arrests are daily made in Milan and through out Lombardy, and that several of the persons arrested have been transferred to Laybach. There were great rejoicings at Turin on the receipt of the intelligence that the King of NAPLES had granted his people a constitution. The King of SARDINIA is about to raise two Polish regiments, and has offered the command of one of them. to the son of Prince CZAETORYSKI. The Lega, of Genoa, publishes the following pro clamation from the Italians to the Neapolitans : " Neapolitan brethren,—We cannot restrain our joy ; it pours out of our hearts ! Let us give a close embrace, brothers—ltaly shall infallibly exist. She exists already from this day. Brothers, each tear and each drop of blood you have shed has fallen on our hearts, and given us deadly pangs ! This is the first day, after so man y centuries, that we may fairly declare ourselves to be,. from the Alps to the Etna, the children and the citizens of a great and single nation! No ! no ! a hundred thousand foreign swords can no longer prevent this shout gushing forth from our hearts from re-echoing simultaneously, on the shores of the Po, of the Minscio, and of the Bachiglione. Hurrah ! then, for Italy, and let us embrace ! " Neapolitan brethren,— , None of us will remain below the grandeur of the future destinies of our country !" Our readers will, by this little sketch, form an idea of the enthusiasm which prevails beyond the Alps. _ _ The Spener Gazette of the 4th mentions a report from Milan that General RADETSKI had become pos sessed of a paper signed by a great number of persons, in which they declare their determination to throw off the yoke of the Austrian Government, and that, having summoned some of the parties before him, they stated that they had signed the engagement in a moment of intoxication. It is added that the name of the Hereditary Duke of PARMA. is amongst the signatures, and that on this account the Austrian Government does not proceed with so much rigour as would otherwise be the case. The Patria of Florence announces that LEOPOLD 11., Imperial Prince of Austria and Grand Duke of Tuscany, has just published, under date of 31st Jan., 1848, a motu proprio, in which he orders a Bill to be prepared for the reform of the present law on the press, and another for the reform of the Council of State, the latter of which is to be in harmony with the changes recently introduced into the municipal system. In the mote proprio are the following ex pressions :—" Tuscans, let us, if possible, draw still closer the bands which exist between us. Let that confidence lead us to tranquilly complete reforms, and to exclude those tumultuous manifestations which comproznitie the tranquillity of the country, and, by leading to disorders, perhaps endanger the destinies of the country." The Madrid papers of the 21 instant contain no news of any kind. The Bolsa was closed. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. The debate on the paragraph of the Address relating to the Reform banquets was adjourned over from Monday, after speeches from M. DUVERGIER DE ITAURANNE, M. MARIE, M. ROULAND, M. CREMIEU3I, and M. D'HAUSSONVILLE. It appears that on Satur day there were apprehensions of a considerable split in the Ministerial majority on the subject of this paragraph. Several of the usual supporters of the Minister assembled together, and resolved to with draw their support from the Ministry unless some pledge was given that a measure of electoral reform should be introduced in the course of the ensuing session. M. DUCHATEL seemed inclined to accede to their wishes, but M. GUI2IOT sternly refused to give way, and from the tenour of the leading article in the Journal des Debats, it is evident that the Ministry has determined to make a stand against all reform. M. DUCHATEL Will, it is said, in the course of the debate, announce the intention of the Government to prohibit all Reform banquets for the future. The discussion on the paragraph of the Address re lating to the Reform banquets was resumed yester day in the Chamber of Deputies by M. LEON DE MALLEVILLE, who vehemently denounced the con duct of the Government as illegal in attempting to suppress the Reform banquets. M. DUCHATEL, the Minister of the interior, rose to reply to him, and was still speaking when the post left. The Moniteur publishes a report to the KING from the Minister of Marine, informing his Majesty that the Minister has received the details of the loss of the steam frigate, Panama, and that the officers and crew all behaved admirably in the calamity whish had visited them. The Minister notices, in particu lar, the exertions.made by a foreman named TURCAN, and one of the men in charge of the engine, named ARA, and recommends them both as worthy of re ceiving the cross of the Legion of Honour. The.report is followed by a royal ordonnance complying with the recommendation of the Minister. COURS AUTIIENTIQUE, PARIS, FEB.

The best qualities commanded a steady sale, at fully Monday's quotations. In all other kinds the busi ness transacted was trifling, yet prices were well sup ported. Nearly the whole of the parcels found buyers. Fine Foreign Wheat moved off steadily ; other kinds slowly, at late rates. The imports this week have con sisted of 2,160 quarters. Scarcely any Barley was on show, yet the inquiry for that article was far from brisk, at unaltered prices. Malt was in fair request, but not dearer. Notwithstanding the supplies ot all kinds of Spring Corn were trifling, sales progressed heavily, and prices ware with difficulty maintained. Flour, both English and the best Foreign, was quite as dear. Wheat. 730 qrs. AIiftIVALS. I Barley. 250 qrs. Oats. Floitr. 3,610 qrs. 470 sks. 2, - 780 1 -- I NEW ZEALAND. Official documents have been published by com mand of her Majesty's Government, received from the Governor of New Zealand, up to October last. After the affray with the natives on the 19th of July at Wanganui, an account of which, consisting of dis patches from Lieutenant-Colonel M'Claverty, has already been published in The Sun, no further dis turbanee had occurred, and the losses sustained by the natives were so serious that no further aggression on their par t was expecied. The following copy of a dispatch from Governor Grey to Earl Grey, dated October 1, gives some particulars respecting the colony : "My Lord,—Since I had the honour of addressing your Lordship upon the 3d of September last, upon the state of the southern settlements, I have received dispatches from Lieutenant-Governor Eyre, to the 16th of September. I have much pleasure in reporting that affairs in the south con tinued to assume a more and more satisfactory appear ance, and that I see at present no reason to doubt the accuracy of the opinion I have previously expressed, that the disturbances at Wanganui may be regarded as concluded ; indeed, Mr. Eyre reports that every thing tends to coafirm the opinion now general both among the natives and Europeans, that the rebel partf having gained no advantages, and having suffered many evils and inconveniences, are thoroughly tired of the war, and are desirous of re-establishing amicable relations with Europeans, should any en' couragerrent be afforded, or a favourable opportuaitf offer for doing so. "I am happy farther to be able to state, that the great lines of communication, which are absolutelf requisite to connect the town and port of Wellington, with the good country lying beyond the ranges a mountains, covered with forests, which surround Wellington, are rapidly progressing, and will pro• bably be quite completed in about eight months frail the present date; after which time that town may 1)1 regarded as in a state of comparative security, and think that it will then advance rapidly in wealth and prosperity."

COLONIAL CIIURCII SOCIETY.—Last evening 0 meeting of the friends and supporters of this societfr for sending clergymen, catechists, and schoolmasters Se the colonies of Great Britain, and to British residentsie other parts of the world, was held at the Music Hallo Store-street, and was most numerously attended. The Hon. and Rev. B. W. Noel opened the meeting with prayer. George Finch, Esq., M.P., stated that the or rations of the society were carried out in a perfectlY unsectarian spirit, as, though they had a natural leaninE towards their own (the Established Ch urc h), th ey d en i e d. not the virtues of other sister sects, but on the contrail solicited them for aid and co operation. The secreted now proceeded to read the report of the "North Low don Ladies' Association," by which it appeared that the amount of subscriptions for the year 1847 was 5041. The state of the parent society was one of progress; but of progress under difficulties. Its encouragements and means of usefulness are steadily increasing, but it is crippled by an income of less than 4,0001. a year. The number of clergymen, assistants, and teachers eer ployed by it are 35, and its operations extend to Western Australia, Port Philip, Cape of Good Hope, Nova Sco• tia, Prince Edward's Island, New Brunswick, Madras' Bahamas, Malta, France. The committee in conclusion' while bearing grateful testimony to the satisfactory re* suit of their labours, must call attention to the activa of the Church of Rome, in the colonies more especial/1P where 39 bishops are located. BRITISH AND FOREIGN BIBLE SOCIETY.—The air nual meeting of the members and friends of the Broad' street, West-end, and Central London Branch of this society was held at the London Coffee. house, Ludga_fto hill, yesterday evening. The Rev. R. Munro, A. ' presided, presided, and, in opening the proceedings, stated that the society, since its establishment in 1805, had circa' hated 32,000,000 copies of the Scriptures, in various guages, and in sonic of which they had never b e fore been translated, at a cost of 3,000,000/. The Ite 6 Gentleman having alluded to the religious tone that per vaded the debate on the Jewish Disabilities Bill, t° show that religious feeling existed in this country to 6 great degree, and which he ascribed, in some measure , to the agency of the society, he bore testimony, as char lain to the City Bridewehl, to the extent of ignoranc e and depravity that existed in the vicinity of the plac e where the meeting was held, to demonstrate the mecca', city for continued and increased exertion in behalf os Christianity. Several resolutions approving of the vieWe of the society, and determination to sustain it in it! efforts, were agreed to, after which the meeting, l ido was most numerously and respectably attended, separ ate?'

A CENTENARIAN.—A few days since the influel 3o6 proved fatal to one well known on the Stock Exchang e and at the offices at the_ Bank of England ; Mr. John t Bull, at the age of 100 years and seven months, died 01 the prevailing epidemic. When about 93, and in th e employ of Messrs, Spurling, stockbrokers, he left hi mistake in the office of the chief accountant of the Ban k of England a large number of bank notes. On discover ing his loss, after searching anxiously for the missing document, he went to the above office, partly to acquaint Mr. Smee, and partly as a last hope. To his great Pi he found them in Mr. Stnee's possession, whoa b e earnestly implored to keep the secret, "lest his en; ployers should think that his faculties were failing• A Mr. Smee of course gave hi m th e r equ ired promise, an goodnaturedly added, " that when Ult.. Bull should o,b; tam the age of 100 he would give him the finest bot t l e of wine in his cellar." Some time previous to his b e : coming a centenarian he was pensioned by his emploter.:: and Mr. Since had probably quite forgotten the ea t % when, true to his engagement, the aged but vigorott° clerk made his appearance at the Bank on the it; purtant day and claimed the promised bottle.

The LORD CHANCELLOR gave judgment to-day in this case, which was argued some time since before his Lordship, upon appeal from an order of the Vice-Chancellor of England, refusing to grant an in junction to restrain proceedings at law. The plaintiff, a malster, and a farmer named Bell, had dealings for several years. Bell died, and the defendant Cremer became his administrator. Disputes arose between him and the plaintiff on the settlement of the accounts, and it was ultimately agreed to refer the matter to an arbitrator. A certificate of the award was returned in due course, and judgment obtained on the certifi cate. The plaintiff, alleging that the arbitration had miscarried, and that the accounts furnished at the arbitration were not correct, filed his bill for an in junction to stay the proceedings taken to enforce it. The Vice-Chancellor refused the application on the ground of want of jurisdiction. The LORD CHANCELLOR thought the plaintiff had failed in making out a case for the injunction, and affirmed the judgment of the Court below. WESTSVOOD V. SLATER.-.TUDGMENT. The LORD CHANCELLOR also gave judgment in this caee which came, before his Lordship upon appeal from the decision of the Vict:-Chancellor Knight Bruce. The question in the case was whether the next of kin of the settlor, who. had settled a fund in fifteenths to his three daughters and their children, took any interest in the event which had happened, namely, that one of his daughter s had survived her two sisters and left issue. B.is Honour was of opinion that the settlement exnibited an intention that tliL! next of kin of the settlor should not take anything if there should be any child of either of his daughters who should live to thke a vested interest in the fund. His Lordship was of opinion that the decree of the Vice-Chancellor Knight Bruce was correct ; that it properly declared the right of the parties in the cause, and he must therefore dismiss the appeal with costs. THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY COMPANY V. THE 131RMINGHAM ♦ND OXFORD JUNCTION RAILWAY COMPANY.-JUDGMENT. The LORD CHANCELLOR also gave judgment to day in this important case, which our readers will recollect came before his Lordship a short time since, and was argued at great length, upon appeal from the decision of the Vice-Chancellor of England, overruling a dernurrer put in by the defendants to the bill filed by the Great Western Railway Company against them, for the specific per formance of an agreement to sell the Birmingham and Oxford Junction Railway to the Great Western Railway Company. His Lordship, after shortly ad -verting to the facts of the case, stated that he was not prepared to say, by allowing the demurrer, that a contract which had been entered into between parties was to be treated as a nullity, because an Act of Parliament was necessary to carry it into effect. In his opinion the defendants had failed in showing that the plaintiffs were not entitled to have part of the relief asked, and he must therefore diimiss the appeal with costs. The result of this decision is to affirm the decision of the Vice-Chancellor of England overruling the demurrer of the Birmingham and Oxford Junction Railway Company with costs: VICE-CHANCERY.—(THIS DAY.) (Before the VICE•CHANCELLOR OF ENGLAND.) STEWART V. FORBES. The further arguments on this part-heard cause occupied the Court the whole day. QUEEN'S BENCH.—(THIS DAY.) (sittings at Nisi Prins, at Westminster, before Mr, Justice ERLE and a Special Jury.) DUKE Or BRUNSWICK C. PEPPER. By this action — the Duke of Brunswick sought to recover damages from the defendant, for a libel pub lished by him in the Satirist newspaper. The Duke of Brunswick conducted his own case in person, and Mr. Cockburn and Mr. Hugh Hill appeared for the defendant. His Highness said his object in bringing this action was to protect himself from the consequences of several serious imputations which had been cast upon his character by a series of false and malicious libels contained in the Satirist newspaper, of which the defendant was the present proprietor. On several previous occasions he had obtained verdicts in hiS favour against the proprietor of that journal for simi lar libels, but notwithstanding continued attacks were made upon him with the same vehemence and malignity. His Highness then read a libel published in 1844, referring to the case of Thomas Henry 'locker, and stating that he was but an instrument in the hands of others, among w lom the writer included his Highness, and also stated that Hooker was the least guilty of the party, and that he was employed by them to put his victim to death, in order to prevent any exposure of their practices. He also referred to other paragraphs, which repeated the accusations made against him while the journal was under the management of Mr. Barnard Gregory, of being the murderer of Eliza Grimwood. In consequence of these repeated libels he was ashamed to go into public, for when he did so people seemed to shudder and look aghast. The different legal proceedings which he had been forced to take to vindicate his character from those scandalous attacks,' he said, had cost him 10,0001., and besides his life had been endangered. Spies had been set to watch him in every direction, and in fact every step had been taken to drive him to self-destruction. His Highness then said that he had lost his duchy through unjust political persecutions, and had sought protection in this hospitable land, and he asked the jury with confidence to repair the injury inflicted upon him by the defendant by the publica tion of the libels in question. The clerk of Mr. 'Walker, his Highness's solicitor, was then called, and proved the proprietorship of the newspaper, the conviction and sentence of Hocker, and also the conviction and sentence of Mr. Barnard Gregory for libel. SECONDARIES'.--(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Secondary POTTER.) QUESTION ON AGENCY.—SCOTT U. NICIIOLLS. The plaintiff in this action is a brickmaker, and defendant is a builder, and the claim was for three guineas for bricks supplied. The defendant pleaded that he was not indebted. In consequence of the case being taken out of the turn in wich it stood in the list, the defendant's at torney was not present a the commencement of the case, and as the Learned Secondary said that he could not let the case stand over, Mr. Simons undertook to assist the defendant. The facts were peculiar. On the part of the plaintiff, a person named Jay was called, and he de posed that he was agent for the plaintiff, and sold the goods on commission. lie delivered a bill in the name of Scott, and subsequently one in his own name, and also sued defendant in the Bloomsbury Court, when he was non-suited, although he swore that plaintiff had nothing to do with the case, as he p a id him. By that he meant he had de bited(ja39 had himself on account. There was another suit by Mills and Jay, as partners, for some tiles. Th e goods were delivered from their wharf. Mr. SIMONS urged that the plaintiff must be non suited on Jay's own evidence, that he had sent in a bill on his own account. _ _ The Learned SECONDARY said it was a case for the jury. Mr. DELAMARE, the defendant's attorney, and his clerk, proved that they on the previous trial swore that the debt was due to him. The defendant sent the money, which was offered to be paid if a joint re ceipt was given by Scott. and Jay, as there was so much doubt as to whom defendant was liable; but a writ having been issued the offer was rejected unle:s the costs were paid. The Learned SECONDARY summed up, and said that the question for the jury was, whether at the TUE LATE MADAME A D ELAIDE.- - The Pattie says —" W 3 are assured that in the wi►l of her Royal High ness Madame Adelaide there is a clause in the following words I bequeath to Madame Miel, widow of the dentist, who first put on the uniform of the National Guard in 1830, and who was killed at that time, an an nual pension of 500f.'

It was rendered a case of doubt by the The Select Committee appointed to inquire into the names of Mills and Jay being up at the wharf, and truth of the allegations contained in the petition the action by them; but, at the same time, they or complaining of the return of Lord Arthur L-nnex Jay might on the previous occasion have mistaken and Octavius E.

The Committee having passed the usual resolutions, Mr. Sergeant WRANGITAM opened the case of the petitioners, who sought to unseat the Members re turned, on the grounds that either they or their agents had been guilty of corrupt practices in bribery or treating. Now, upon the register of the borough of Great Yarmouth there appeared the names of 1,800 voters, 1,000 of whom were freemen. It was discovered that two days previouly to the no mination, Lord Arthur Lennox received, through the Post-office, a bulky registered letter, which it was conjectured contained a number of hank-notes, and the suspicion was strengthened by the fact, that upon the same day his Lordship transacted business at a well-known "Red" banking-house at Yarmouth. There were other suspicious circumstances connected with the election, which placed boyond all doubt that bribery and corruption were freely resorted to by the " Reds," Lord Lennox's party. For instance, 155 freemen who voted for the Blues in 1841, at the recent election, voted for the Reds while the general results proved that 513 freemen voted for the Reds as against 370 for the Blues. One batch of voters offered to sell their votes to the Blues at a certain price, but the offer was refused, and they immediately went over to the Reds, and the proofs which the petitioners were prepared to put in mould fully sub stantiate that it was by bribery alone that the sitting Members for Yarmouth had obtained their return. BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.) Henry Williams, an old man, was charged on sus picion of being concerned with another person, not in custody, in stealing a suit of clothes, the property of Joseph Lawrence, of 63, Broad-street, clothes salesman. The prosecutor, the proprietor of a cheap tailoring establishment, said that the prisoner entered his shop this morning with a youth of about 18, and said he wanted a suit of clothes for the latter. A suit was selected and tried on by the youth, the prisoner ask ing the price and " abating." The boy did not speak at all, but when he had the whole suit of clothes on his back he made a spring at the door and ran off, before either prosecutor or his foreman could stop him. They detained the prisoner. The prisoner said he knew nothing of the lad, but had met him at a public-house a few minutes before, and had not the slightest notion of any dishonest intention on his part. lle called several witnesses as to his character. He was remanded till this day week. The notorious Joseph Ady, who has been twice re cently summoned at the instance of the Post-office authorities for non-payment of considerable sums of money due for the postage of returned letters, again appeared before Mr. Henry to answer a charge of a similar nature. The sum sued for on this occasion Has 161. 103. 641., and was for letters which have passed through the Post-office since the first convic tion, but not since the second. The defendant, acting on the advice of a solicitor who attended in his behalf, made no attempt to defend this case, but begged fur time to pay the amount. Mr. TlENnir did not think the defendant deserved the slietest mercy. He had had quite sufficient notice, having been twice summoned before. He would convict him, and order him to pay at once, and if he did not pay a distress warrant would be issued as soon as Mr. Peacock chose to apply for it. Mr. Peacock said he would not a pply for the war rant till'next week, but would give Ady that time to Mr. pay. HENRY thought this kindness was by no means merited. He hoped, however, that the defendant would not again put Mr. Peacock to this trouble. Mr. Peacock said that Ady had promised that he would not; but, indeed, his promise was of very little value, for he held his written promise, given before the second summons, to the mime effect. However, he would wait for one week in this instance, as he hoped the promise would be kept now. tidy left the Court without uttering a word.
