SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. The Whig-Radical papers of yesterday boas ted,-41... instead of O'Connell making such terms with the Whig Ministers as would place substantial, if not official, power in his hands, that personage had de clared his determination to support " any Government animated by a sincere intention of doing justice to Ire land." Then we say that such a Government cannot be composed of last year's Whigs, inasmuch as if they be not the most fickle of the human race, and the most prone to an abandonment of all their own measures and opinions, they will act on the same public principles as those which they professed last summer ; and there fore, so far from doing " justice to Ireland," they must_ entail upon themselves fresh vollies of execrations from the armoury of Derrynane-abbey. A prodigious fuss is made by the new Cabinet-manufacturers about the difference between a man's taking office under a Go vernment, and his secretly directing the measures of that Government for the furtherance of his own interested views, as if his acquiescing in the latter course were a proof of the most chivalrous gene rosity. Why, who is there that in O'Connell's case can be bitten by so palpable a humbug ? We are told, that because O'Connell is " powerful," he ought to be " conciliated," and that the British Government ought to adopt a policy which would be sure of his support. But these dealers in plausible abstractions ought first to tell us what is to be the price of this man's conciliation, and what is the policy which is to secure his support. An enemy who seeks to despoil Great Britain of ten millions of money, or of one or more of her most valuable colonies, or of 100 sail of the line, may, no doubt, be (for the moment) con ciliated by the surrender of her fleet, her colonies, or her money, though only for t he moment. Any aggressor who proposes to inflict on his neighbour some grievous wrong, and threatens to quarrel with him if he resists the injustice, may unquestion ably, quoad hoc, be pacified by the cowardice of the injured party in submitting quietly to be bullied. The matter stands thus :—The Papist party, with O'Connell for its chief, has long placarded through speech and writing a thirst for the overthrow of the Protestant church, and a confiscation of its property, as well as that of the whole of the Protestant com munity, to other (that is, to Popish) uses, which ends it is obvious, can never be so easily achieved as through a repeal of the Union. The repeal of the Union is, therefore, the avowed and distinctive policy of Mr. Daniel O'Connell ; so that there is nothing more intelligible than the advice of the Whig-Radicals to the new Cabinet—we will add nothing of more ominous importance to the English nation, if the counsel should be given with a previous understanding that it will be acted on, for it amounts to this—that the policy of the Melbourne Administration is to be that which will most effectually conciliate O'Connell and his clique, by favouring the subversion of the Protestant Church, and the separation of Ireland from Great Britain ! It is little wonder, therefore, that the Agitator has given his eager assistance to the defeat of the Conservative Government, or that the infancy at least of the Whig-Radical power will have his strenuous support. He likes, of course, the men who have hitherto baffled him, somewhat less than those whom he flatters himself that he can make the blind instruments of his most daring projects ; and this is the " pure "—the " liberal "—the " disinte rested" gentleman, who makes " no tenns"—not he— for himseY7—but only that Protestant Ireland shall be flung at his feet, to be spurned at his pleasure. Let nobody bring the dishonest charge against us, that in struggling for the existence of the Protestant establishment, and for the protection of our brethren of the same faith, we mean to say a single word in defence of ecclesiastical abuses, or of oppressions, civil or eccle siastical, from which those not Protestants may have suffered. We have over and over pledged ouselves to the obligation of turning to more useful objects, any income which may on full inquiry be found unneces sary to the Church. If there be not Protestants to de mand spiritual help from a pastor, it becomes self-evi dent that subsistence for such a pastor is not needed. But it is not to Mr. Daniel O'Connell or Dr. M'Hale -that we should trust the investigation of so nice a sub ject, nor would we refuse with Lord John Russell to help out the scanty income of an ill-paid clergy man from the abundance of another who had little or no pa rochial duty--a principle which, with all deference to his Lordship, has neither equity to recommend it, nor common sense. At the same time we are as anxious as any honest Irishman can be,—a great deal more so, assuredly, than Mr.O'Connell, or any one else interested in disturbing the peace of Ireland,—to see tithes prac tically, fairly, and finally commuted ; the parochial in comes better distributed; the patronage of Irish Bishops under some moral, if not legal, control ; the episcopal revenues brought down to a reasonable level ; and the prebends and other sinecure funds of cathedrals ap propriated to purposes of real utility to the Church, such as those to which, since Sir R. Peel's accession to the Government, they have in many instances been diverted, although not in a single instance, during the whole reign of the Whig Administration, from 1830 to November, 1834. Let this among other contrasts between sayers and doers, between words and works, be remembered by the people of England. So with regard to Corporation Reform, Sir Robert Peel said not one syllable against acting in the fullest manner upon the report of the Commission, whenever it should be laid before Parliament, declaring that so far as con cerned the corporation with which he was himself con nected, he had not the shadow of interest in the main tenance of any of its abuses. However, as we are convinced that such salutary reforms would have met no foul treatment from Sir Robert Peel, so are we now desirous of ascertaining that they will be fairly dealt with by thos e w h o are about to succeed him. Even where the disposition was not wanting, under the two or three Cabinets which within the last four years bore the name of "Whig, the public had sufficient proof that capacity to execute their own declared in tentions was too often undiscoverable. What the Whig Cabinet-makers are now busied with we are content to wait until it suits their convenience to inform us. They can hardly be so silly as to be dupes of the artificial calm in Mr. O'Connell's system of po litical machination. His pretended complaisance, and even deferenee towards the conscious Whig leaders, they know as well as he, is destined to a speedy end, unless they so govern Ireland as to throw her into im mediate confusion ; and if they mean to carry through the only conditions on which it is possible for him to support them, they must be prepared for all extremi ties against the union of the two islands, and the rights of the British Crown. This, it must be con fessed, is a cheerful prospect for a statesman who has just received from his Sovereign the proof of confidence which has been reposed in Lord Melbourne's patrio tism and honour. But we have heard what seems at the first blush incredible, viz., that after all—yes, after all —oh, it is incredible—Lord Brougham has been actu ally resorted to by Lord Melbourne and Co. for advice under their unspeakable difficulties. Under difficulties, and ask advice from Lord Brougham I ! We are cu rious to know whether, if in this strange world such a thing should, for lack of other oddities, turn out to be not a ludicrous falsehood, but a ten times droller fact—whether, we say, it be in honour of " Mr. Isaac Tomkins" Brougham, who vilipens the social character of the English aristocracy as altogether in significant and despicable—or of " Mr. Peter Jen kins" Brougham, who holds up their political character to no less abhorrence—that the appeal we speak of has now been made to this learned and Whig-dreaded person. They have sworn at Lord Brougham—they have abjured him—they have heaped the opprobrium of all their manifold miscarriages on his head—they have scouted in all companies the mere notion of ever again co-operating with, much less employing, him ; and, 10, here they are at it again ! If Brougham were what he once was—but no matter, see how it will work. At all events he is their superior ; and when it comes to the point, our conviction is that they will not dare to repudiate him. They pretend to denounce him as a moral coward ; but what are they, who, after whole months of bluster, acknowledge ',les coward to be their master !—Times. The yet unsettled state of the Ministerial arrrange ments affords ample scope for speculation. The dearth of actual news, however, upon this important subject is abundantly compensated for by fertility of invention. We confess s hat we are fonder of fiction when we meet ' 4th it in ,try than in polities, and as we have no :desire.to-cteaqve others, and take no pleasure in being ourselypeiclecel -, ed, we must rather warn our readers against placing iwnlicit confidence in any list of Mi nisterial appointments which, in the existing state of affairs, may be presented to them, than impose upon their credulity by furnishing them with any list of our own. The difficulties which lie in the way of the con struction of a Whig Cabinet have been created by the Whigs themselves. In their eagerness to drive sir Robert Peel's Administration from office before its measures of safe and constitutional reform could be submitted to the sober reason of the country, they were under the necessity of having recourse to auxiliaries, whose claims to a share of the ill-gotten power they feel it unsafe to admit and dangerous to decline. Even if some of them have resolved to get rid of principle and the sense of shame together, and to " go the whole hog" with the Irish Agitator, the King is not so be reft of understanding, or the support of the country, as to suppose he has no other alternative than to se cure what remains of regal power, by a surrender of the virtual sovereignty of Ireland to the representative of the Papal democracy of that part of the United Kingdom, but soon, in that event, to be broken up and dismembered. Advocating, as we do, and as we have done for years, a full and efficient reform of the Irish as well as the English branch of the Church Establishment, we can have no wish either to conceal or to spare the abuses which deform its beauty and impair its usefulness. But it is one thing to sweep the temple clean with the besom of reform, and ano ther to lay to its foundations the pickaxe of the levellers. The Ron atholic Legislators are sworn not to do any thing that would tend to weaken or sub vert the Church. How they have observed that oath their recent votes have shown. Still we trust they will not be able to subvert it ; but should they be, it does not require extraordinary sagacity to foresee that the fall of the - 1:,;:ol:e.reliv will not be far off. The abuse lavished by the Roman Catllolic Press on Lord Grey at this moment proves, if any thl:l , ' were wanting to prove it, that Papal gratitude for benefits received from heretic hands exists no longer than it is found convenient to ap pear to be grateful. Liberal as our sentiments are with regard to religious creeds, of which we wish a full toleration to all, yet history and experience constrain us to believe that the Protestant who politically serves the Roman Catholic party, and refuses to go all lengths—who dares to preserve some independence of mind, and declines to become their slave—is always treated worse in the end than their consistent and un flinching enemy. Great as is the ingratitude which Lord Grey now experiences because he will not sacri fice all English and Protestant feeling, to promote the ambitious views of the Papal Agitator, it is not greater than was experienced by their indefatigable advocate Grattan, when he dared to have an opinion of his own, and to refuse to submit to the most degrading dicta tion. If we can believe the Whig-Radical papers, al though O'Connell is not yet announced as having a seat in the Cabinet, his nominees, Messrs. Perrin and O'Loughlen, are to be the Attorney and Solicitor- General of Ireland. We know that both those gen tlemen are lawyers of talent and respectability—in every way descrying of those preferments, except as far as regards their known and habitual subserviency to the political controul of the Repeal Agitator. It is true Sergeant O'Lou g hlen has previously filled the office of Solicitor, but his political tenden cies were checked by Mr. Blackurne, being At torney-General. With Mr. Perrin, in the latter ca pacity, we must consider the Crown Law Officers, as created, if not governed, by Roman Catholic influ ence; and if this be " doing justice to Ireland," it is not that sort of justice which is likely to afford the Protestant portion of the people cause of satisfaction. We wish to see the laws so administered in Ireland as to inspire confidence to all classes of the people, what ever their religious opinions may be ; but it is not by selecting for promotion the vehement or servile parti sans of either side that the confidence which impartial justice inspires will be diffused throughout that dis tracted country. That Mr. O'Connell should nomi nate the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland is of less conse quence than he should nominate the Attorney and So licitor-General. Having a Whig Cabinet, we have no objection to see Lord Mulgrave Lord-Lieutenant, or Lord Morpeth Chief Secretary. They are both as respectable appointments as the Whig camp can, perhaps, supply ; but should they not justify Mr. O'Connell's calculation upon their pliancy and sub missiveness to his will, we expect to hear of their being as bitterly lampooned in l)errynane epistles as Lords Anglesea and Wellesley were, and more spee dily cashiered.—Morning Herald. The " thing" which, for want of some better and more appropriate name, we must style the Melbourne- O'Connell Ministry, has not yet reached its unhealthy and ricketty development. Sundry fragments are from time to time imparted to an admiring and expectant world ; but the magnificent whole, whose compactness and completeness are at once to astonish and delight the Protestant people of England, still lies in the womb of time, to be ushered into light with a flourish of penny trumpets, blown by the sagacious lips of a Russell, a Palmerston, and a Spring Rice. It is stated, indeed, that Lord John is to occupy the situa tion of Foreign Secretary. Is it possible ? The mas ter-mind of a Wellington, incomparably the greatest man who ever held the foreign seals, to be replaced by the self-complacent pertness of the Member for South Devon ! 'We promise the Noble Lord such a re ception from the yeomen of that county as will convince him that the religious feelings of Britons are not to be insulted with impunity, nor their dearest and best rights and privileges to be invaded and insulted to gratify personal pique or worthless ambition. Foreign Secretary Lord John Russell may be—but leader of the House of Commons ? Oh no, unless Calne, Tavistock, or Mahon, should open their wide arms to receive the honest disfranchiser of every close borough in the United Kingdom. And my Lord Palmerston is, it is said, to govern the colonies. Happy Jamaica I Fortunate Corfu I that own a Cupid as their presiding deity. Which branch of the Legisla ture is the middle-aged Adonis to adorn with his pre sence ? Alas, no choice is left, and side by side with a Duncannon and a Brougham must the ex-Member for Cambridge and Hampshire detail his enlightened plans for driving our colonial dependencies into despair or rebellion. But it is said, moreover, that Mr. Spring Rice is to be the new Chancellor of the Exchequer I Indeed ! We are sorry for the Right. Hon. Gentle man. We have not forgotten his vote on the occasion of the persecution of Baron Smith ; and we do not wish to see him in the ridiculous light of successor to Sir Robert Peel, for assuredly pitiable will he the plight of the individual who may attempt to fill the office occupied by the most distinguished of living senators and States men. But Ireland, unhappy Ireland, given over to O'Connell with a Mulgrave and a Morpeth as his official puppets I We understand the youthful scion of the house of Howard has undertaken, in considera tion of his nomination, to address a congratulatory ode to the mighty Agitator on each successive anniversary of his birth, and that part of the " justice to be done to Ireland" is the appointment of a laureate to cele brate the doughty deeds of the magnanimous Daniel. But we would be serious. Can these things be ? Are the welfare, the honour, the happiness of our father land, the dignity of our Sovereign, and, dearer than all, the integrity of our religion to be surrendered with out a struggle ? Is Popery, allied with infidelity, to stalk through the land, our land-marks to be removed, our very existence endangered by wicked and foolish men ? et a little while and our exertions may be fruitless. Let, then, the slumberer awake, the care less arouse himself, and the thoughtless meditate ; and, even at the eleventh hour, the dangers which im pend over us may be averted, the overhanging sword taken away, and England be saved in her utmost hour of need by that Providence whose altars are threatened with desecration by men unprincipled and reckless on the one hand, or stupid and ignorant on the other.— Morning Post. In an article in the forthcoming number of the Edinburgh Review, the prerogative of the King to dismiss his Mini:;tcr-3 is very ably discussed. The ex traordinary proceedings in Decei - nber last have opened men's eyes to dangers from which they had imagined themselves secured by the Revolution of 1688. During ~,.y r .. THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 15, 18.35 the last five months, the people have been familiarized I with doctrines respecting dismissals of Ministers, and dissolutions of Parliament, which in other times would have excited much alarm and indignation. It has been broadly asserted that the King may dissolve Parlia ment again and again, until, by corruption and intimi dation, and exhaustion of popular energy, a House of Commons may be obtained ready to support the Mi nisters of the King's choice—in other words, the Re presentation is altogether a nonentity. The Edinburgh Reviewer admits that when a Ministry has been dis missed, their successors are legally responsible for the act ; but this he contends will still leave the evil in a great measure unremedied ; " for suppose (he says) one Ministry displaced, and that no one agrees to take its place—suppose this suspension of ministerial functions to continue for weeks—who is answerable for that ? Indeed, if the King have once dismissed his Ministers, as he is left without a Government, hardly any practical responsibility could ever be in curred by the men who only entered into places made vacant long before they were consulted. No assembly would ever impeach them for a change which they knew nothing of, till after it had been made ; and yet that change is the origin of the whole mischief. But the case may be put of the dismissal causing an inter regnum of weeks, and yet followed by no permanent change, the former Ministers resuming their places —now, who is answerable for all the dangers of this ?" There is no doubt that this is a very ticklish part of the Constitution. The Reviewer sug gests that the Crown should be bound in all cases to have the advice in writing of whoever recommends a change of Ministers, if it be effected by the address of either House of Parliament. But individuals may al ways be obtained to give a recommendation in writing whose responsibility would be worth very little to the country. Though, as the Reviewer has shown, the responsibility of the successors can hardly be so far stretched as to apply in cases where there has been a suspension for weeks, and some persons must take office, still as the successors of a Ministry must be of some standing in the country, their responsibility would be solilothing at all events. The recommendation of a certain number of Privy Councillors in writing might, perhaps, be some guarantee. We agree with the Re viewer that it is impossible to over-esernte the mischief occasioned by the late dismissal and dissolution. " The evils," he observes, " of such temporary changes of Government as we have been considering, and such as the late desperate intrigues have produced, are far greater, both in extent and duration, than at first sight appears to the eye. They derange all the measures in progress at home; they shake men's confidence in the monarchical system ; they bring us into contempt and distrust abroad ; they sow the seeds of revolution, by unhinging the public opinion respecting our in stitutions. Can anything be conceived better fitted to make men question the benefits of a monarchical constitution, than to see their whole concerns plunged in confusion, because some political intriguer, some private friend, some banger-on at Court, has persuaded one individual in twenty-two millions to try a rash experiment, supposed to be for his own ease, and really calculated for the personal gain of his secret adviser ? Who can doubt that such feats of regal activity are calculated to make men count•the cost of royalty—not in pounds, shil lings, and pence, for that is its least expense—but in human happiness destroyed, and human improvement delayed ? That our beloved Sovereign, towards whom so deep a sense of gra titude is but strict justice, and can hardly be called loyalty, has been imposed upon, nobody affects to doubt. Nor can any one question the kind of creature that has deluded him, who saw the outrageous transports into which the success of the plot threw all the intriguers during the first days of their t. iumph ; above all, to mark the eyes of certain expectants glistening at the prospect of jobs, and pensions, and gewgaws unmerited, to them and theirs; and of a death-blow given for ever to the reforms which are the right, and the luxury, and the glory of the people. But that people will not again suffer such a blight to assail their dearest hopes ; it will set vigor ously about such improvements of our system, as may give us security against the evil spirits of the Court seizing upon the patronage of the Government as soon as Parliament is pro rogued, and revelling in the public spoil until the dawn of the approaching session, like the crowing of the cock, sends them once more away to skulk in their congenial shades." This is strong language, but the times demand strong language. The friends of our Monarchical Constitution ought not to allow it to sink in public estimation, from such mad experiments as have lately been made on the patience of the people.—Morning Chronicle. Now that a Melbourne Administration is all but constructed a second time, the great and absorbing question with every well-wisher to that Administration and to his country is, what are the means which must be employed to insure its durability? It is clear to d,monstration that the mere formation of a liberal Ministry is not the only duty, at such a crisis as the present, which devolves on the head of the new Go vernment. Nor will it suffice—supposing such to be the fact—that in selecting the materials for the con struction of the new Cabinet the greatest judgment has been shown. The Members of that Cabinet may be individually unexceptionable,—nay, they may be the very best adapted for their respective offices of all the men of character, talent, and business habits with whom this country abounds ;—the new Ministry may, in other words, be individually and collectively the strongest that ever was formed, or which it were pos sible for men to form, and yet it may be destined only to enjoy a very short-lived existence. Does this sound paradoxical in the ears of any of our readers ? Then they must have forgotten the instances with which the history of every country abounds— and few snore so than our own—of the triumphs which corruption and intrigue have achieved over the most gigantic moral and intellectual power. Is it possible that the events of the last ten months—,-to go no farther back—can already have been blotted from the memories of any of our rea dcrc ? Was not the Melbourne Administration at that time one of great unity of feeling and purpose — realizing in the expectation of the country, in that re spect, as well as from the distinguished talents which were enlisted in its support, the fable of the bundle of sticks which could not be broken ? And yet did it not in one little moment, and without having had the opportunity of making even a show of resistance, fall an easy victim to Tory intrigue? We, therefore, adjure Lord Melbourne and his col leagues not to let a lesson so pregnant with in struction be lost upon them. Their course is clear as the noon-day sun. There must be an immediate and clear sweep of the Tories out of every office in the State whence they can be constitutionally ejected. Every department of the government at present swarms with them, and no Liberal Administration, however morally or intellectually strong, is for a single clay, or even hour, safe while they are suffered to re tain their situations. To suppose that they have the power to do mischief, and yet remain inactive, were to argue an ignorance of human nature, as embodied in the Tories, with which we are sure there are but few who can be chargeable. To do the dirty work of intrigue is one of the resistless necessities of their nature. Unless, therefore, Lord Melbourne be prepared for becoming a second time the victim of Tory intrigue, he must at once let in the waters, without mercy, upon the Augean stable. He must not listen for one moment to the suggestions of a false delicacy. If he do, he and his Government are a second time undone—fallen, never to rise again. And why should he hesitate for an instant to remove the straw and let the rats scatter themselves, if they please, to the four winds of heaven ? Why hesitate to cast the foul de mon of Toryism out of the Government ? Did the Tories show any such squeamishness towards him ? Did they extend any of their tender mercies to the Administration of which he was the head ? Let the events of the fourteenth of November last answer the question. But may not the Tories be conciliated ? Conciliate the Tories I As soon might we think to tame the hycena. Lord Grey is qualified to speak to this point. He attempted the game of conciliation— we all know with what success. That was the fatal error of his impolicy ;' the more he conceded, the more they demanded ; the more friendly his disposition to wards them, the more bitter their enmity, the snore deadly their hate towards him. They proved themselves to be insatiable as the grave. They bit the very hand that fed them, and turned the concessions lie made them into the instruments of further annoyance of himself. Conciliate the Tories I the thing is morally impossible ; they and a liberal Government are as irre concilable as light is with darkness. Away, then, with all further attempts at conciliation. The only way in which the Tories can be dealt with with effect is, to proclaim war to the knife against them, and that will only be fighting them with their own weapons. Their hostility to a liberal Government, and liberal institu dons, are of a deadly nature. The feeling must be re- ciprocated on our part. ;They musenot only be rooted out of the snug offices in which they have ensconced themselves so long, but they must be disarmed, and tied hand and foot, so as no longer to be in a condition to do mischief. We repeat, therefore, that the course of Lord Melbourne is clear. If, from any feeling of false delicacy, or other consideration, he shrink from the application of the only remedy which can meet the magnitude of the evil, equally disregarding the lessons of his own experience and the advice of the country, then he will not only forfeit all claims to the support of the people in the hour of need ;—but----on his shoulders wilkrest the responsibility of whatever conse quences may follow the second overthrow of his Go vernment.—Morning Advertiser.

This being tba► A Seal 13 the Vice-Chan cellor sat in his ' to-day* ltions. PRICE V. Mr. KNIGHT moved on the part of the defendants, the coheirs of an intestate of the name of Edwards, to restrain a person of the name of Brown, his creditor, from prosecut ing an order in the Master's Office preliminary to selling the intestate's estates. The facts were these—Brown being a bond creditor brought an action against the coheirs who pleaded riens per descent. Before he recovered judgment a decree was pronounced, and he was restrained from pro ceeding further against the intestate's assets ; but his Honour, who ordered the injunction, refused to protect the defendants against the consequences of their false plea. Brown accordingly recovered damages against them to the value of the estate descended, which they paid with costs. He had previously obtained the conduct of the creditor's suit, and it was now attempted in his name to enforce a sale of the estate a second time. The Learned Counsel insisted it would be a great hardship upon the defendants, after they had already paid the value of the estate, to have it sold again for the payments of other debts. His HONOUR having considered the statute 3d and 4th William and Mary, c. 14, said that in his opinion the damages recovered upon the plea of riens per descent, represented the estate, and the payment of them exonerated the coheirs from any further claim. If the general creditors had any rights they must be enforced against Brown, who it appeared had been paid in full out of the common fund for all the creditors. SHERIFF'S COURT. SWINBURNE, ESQ., V. JAMES. This was an action to recover damages for an assault. The plaintiff, a professional man, resides in South-square, Gray's Inn, and he complained that the defendant broke into his apartments, or chambers, made a great noise and disturbance for two hours, broke - a certain number of chairs and tables, and assaulted the plaintiff with his fists, giving him divers grievous blows, and struck him to the ground ; that in consequence he was confined to his room for a week, and suffered much bodily pain to the damage of 5001. When the case was calfed on the Learned Counsel were holding a private conference with the parties immediately interested. The result of the conference was that Mr. Clarkson returned into Court, and said the defendant had agreed to a verdict going against him for 20/. The plaintiff's attorney said his client had consented to receive that sum, and a verdict was entered accordingly by consent. GRAY V. THE REV. THOMAS" BODDINGTON. The plaintiff, an organ-builder in the New-road, sought to recover from the defendant, minister of Trinity chapel, Cannon-road. St. George's-in-the-East, the sum of 171. 17s. for the hire of an organ for one year for the said chapel. The defendant pleaded that he was not liable, for that the plaintiff had contracted to hire the organ from the 29th of September, 1823, to the 29th of September, 1834, but that he removed it. on the 23d of September, 1834. To these pleas the plaintiff replied that the contract was from the 13th of September, and that he did not remove it till the 23d of the same month on the following year. Several witnesses wen - . called in support of the plaintiff's case, the principal of whom 1 - ,•:.•.s a Mr. Easter, the clerk of the chapel, who proved the contras, and stated that if the organ was retained the price was to be 160 guineas, and the hiring was in this case to be deducted. For the defendant several witnesses were called, to show that the chapel was not in a fit state to receive the organ on the 13th of September. That in fact it was not in tune until some days after that date, and, therefore, it was con tended that the plaintiff was not legally entitled to recover. The Sheriff consented to reserve the point if the Learned Gentleman thought he could make any thing of it, and then told the Jury that the defendant had failed in establishing his pleas, anti therefore they must find for the plaintiff. The Jury accordingly found a verdict for the plaintiff for 171. 17s. BRAHAM V. MORRIS, ESQ. This was a writ of inquiry to assess the damages against the Sheriff of Carmarthenshire. The Sheriff had levied upon a j i.fa. at the suit of the plaintiff, and had returned that he held 611. 15s. of the latter's monies. This was on the 12th of February, but the money had not been paid in. It was now sought to recover that sum with interest. The Jury returned a verdict for 611. 15s. and Bs. interest, making 621. 3s. for the plaintiff. CENTRAL. CRIMINAL COURT. Elijah Lazarus was put to the bar, and indicted for bur glariously breaking and entering the dwelling-house of John Smith and others, of King-street, Cheapside, and stealing therein 450 yards of silk, value 5001., on the 22d February last. Verdict—Guilty of stealing in the day time, but not of breaking. The Recorder immediately passed sentence on the pri soner, which was that he be transported for life.

The Jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty, which was received with a huzza by several of the widow's friends in Court. The remainder of the day was occupied in the trial of cases of larceny, possessing little or no public interest. THE MARKETS. (From the London New Price Current.)
