Half price to Pit and Boxes at a Quarter bibre As his apologists have attempted to justify his con duct, we may be permitted to examine the nature of the offence which provoked the animadversion, and led to the denunciation, which might have occasioned the most serious results. It appears that a complaint was preferred by Mr. ODELL, a sub-inspector of constabulary, against the Rev. ANTIIONT NOLAN, parish priest of Monsea and other parishes in the county of Tipperary, for having during the performance of Divine service denounced from the altar, and anathematized a police-constable and a process-server, for having dared to post on the doors of the chapel an ejectment notice. This was the head and front of the offence which provoked the wrath of the Rev. Gentleman, and for which be felt himself justified in arousing the "passions of an already inflamed and excitable people." In order to understand fully the character of this atrocious outrage on his feelings, it should be stated that it is frequently the practice of the Irish Law Courts to permit a substitution of service in ejectment proceed ings when unusual difficulties or dangers are inter posed in the way of the ordinary service. In such cases the attempts that have been made must be recited in the affidavits on which the application is grounded, and if the Court should judge that there is an organized resistance to the law, and that a refusal of the motion would lead to a failure of justice, an order is made, declaring that what has been effected, as set forth upon the face of the affidavits, may be deemed good service, provided that copies of the order and the notice are posted upon the most usual places for posting notices in the vicinity, amongst which the doors of the church and chapel, and other places where public worship is usually solemnized in the parish, are invariably included. The constabulary generally afford their protection to the process• server, who is employed to post the notices while engaged in his unpopular and perilous avocation, without which considerable fears might reasonably be entertained for the safety of the obnoxious officer of the law. Some such proceedings had taken place at Monsea. The bailiff, in obedience to the direction of the Court posted the notices, and a private constable had at tended in pursuance of the commands of his superior while the posting was being eftected—which com mands, if he had ventured to disobey, he would most justly have been discharged from the force. The Rev. Gentleman, however, could not pardon this `‘ outrage," and, in the language of his " vindicator," " spoke strongly from the altar on the subject, and used, in the heat of his indignation, one or two expres sions which, under other circumstances, except of strong provocation, and if used in cool delibe ration without cause, might be objectionable—but which, under the stinging insult given, were venial indeed, if not wholly excusable." The " denounced " policeman had the audacity under these circumstances to report to his superior officer, under whose direction he had acted, the ecclesiastical thun derbolt which had been hurled at his devoted head, and this report was forwarded to "head-quarters." A communication with the Rev. Dr. KENNEDT, the R. C. Bishop of Killaloe, was the result, and to the credit of that amiable prelate an investigation was directed, even before the receipt of the recent rescript from the Vatican, to which we alluded last week, but which inquiry was rendered unnecessary by the suspension of Mr. NOLAN, and his confession of having acted in the manner alleged against him. Now none of the excuses that are usually put for ward can be available in this instance. It was not a landlord who was attempting to clear his estates, and, careless of the sufferings and misery which his pro ceedings might occasion, whose heartlessness and cruelty aroused the burning indignation of this minister of the Gospel. It was not an agent, who had the management of property, and whose recom mendations could in any manner be attended to. It was not a tenant, who had taken possession of, or been in negotiation for, lands from which others had recently been ejected. In any of these eases, some plausible pretext might have been put forward, some benefit to the parties about to be driven from the homes of their childhood might have been -hoped for, however unlikely to happen. But in the present case no possible advantage to any party could have 'accrued from such a proceeding. The parties denounced were, first, the humble instrument of the law, whose only duty was to serve the process with which he had been intrusted in the manner indicated to him. He merely lent his aid to carry the law into execution, and had he refused to do so, many others would have been found ready to perform the task. A short time previously a sad example, too, had occurred of the dreadful lengths to which the " exeiteable people" might carry their vengeance for such a "provocation." An unhappy man is at this moment lying under sentence of death in Clonmel gaol for having murdered a process-server when re turning from having served a notice on the father of the wretched assassin. Was the conduct of the Rev. Mr. NOLAN calculated to deter his flock, whose spiritual destinies were committed to his charge, from the commission of similar atrocities, and to inculcate a prompt and ready obedience to the law ? We shall suffer these " vindicators" of the Rev. Gentleman to reply. The case of the constable was, if possible, worse. He had only obeyed the lawful commands of his superior officer, and yet he had been held up as a criminal from the altar for so doing. This was a direct interference with the servants of the Govern ment, of which it is impossible to speak in terms of sufficient reprobation. Nothing more dangerous to the safety of the country could possibly take place. If the police are to be tampered with, or censured, for discharging their duty, the precedent will speedily be extended to the military, and ne person can say where the meter would terminate. 'We trust, how ever, that the Papal rescript, and the ready obedience yielded thereto by the most distinguished members of the Roman Catholic Church, will prevent the recur rence of any similar proceeding at any future period. By additional intelligence received from Naples of the 7th it would appear that the citizens still awaited in tranquillity for the constitution guaranteed on the 10th. The account of the withdrawal of the troops is confirmed. Much curiosity was excited by the sudden demise, on the Ist of February, of the Countess Of CHARLEVILLE. A correspondent writes from Lombardy :—" The municipal council have presented a petition to the Viceroy of Lombardy, at Milan, praying for reform. To this the Viceroy has replied that the EMPEROR listens to all reasonable demands, legally presen ted. The Augsburg Gazette says that ten arrests have been made at Milan of persons moving in the higher ranks, and that important papers have been discovered." It would appear from letters just arrived from Geneva, dated the 11th inst., that certain difficulties had arisen there respecting the-freedom of the press. Some members of the Landsgemeinde demanded " a law of repression against the press," alleging as a reason for the request the publication of certain offensive articles. This demand had been peremptorily refused. Athenian papers to the Ist of February have been received. The commercial relations with Turkey having been resumed, it was hoped that commerce would gra dually revive from the blow that had been inflicted upon it. M. Mussuaus had not yet arrived at Athens. The Chamber of Deputies had resumed its sittings. On the 25th of January the Minister of Justice pre sented a Bill for establishing a Court of Appeal at Patras. The budget for 1848 was to be brought before the Chambers without delay. The Moniteur Grec, of the 30th of January, pub lishes a table of the general receipts and expenditure of the State during the year 1847. The receipts are given at 18,483,544 dr., and the expenses at 18,422,33] dr., leaving a balance of 61,213 dr. in favour of the receipts. Madrid papers of the Bth have arrived. They announce the restoration of the QUEEN to perfect health. M. MARTINEZ DE LA Rost was about to leave Madrid for Rome, where he is Ambassador. A meeting of the shareholders of the Union Bank is to be held on the sth of March. MADRID BOLSA, FEB.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. On Sunday a meeting of the Deputies of the Op • position was held, the numbers present exceeding one hundred. The object was to consider the line of conduct they ought to pursue in consequence of the vote of the Chamber on the last paragraph of the Address. The meeting declared unanimously that the Address, as voted, was a flagrant and audacious violation of the rights of the minority, and that the Ministry, in assuming the arbitrary power of putting a stop to the meetings of the people, had violated one of the most sacred principles of the Constitution, and one of the most essential rights of citizens. It further resolved that, in the present circum stances, it would not be prudent to resign their seats. With respect to the Reform banquet in the twelfth arrondissement, a committee was appointed to com municate with the committee of electors, and to arrange with them for the attendance at the banquet of the Deputies of the Opposition, the banquet being got up as a protest against the arbitrary pretensions of the Government. It was also resolved that no member of the Opposition should join the deputation appointed by the Chamber of Deputies to present the Address to his MAJESTY. This assemblage took place in the Place Madeleine, and the manifesto of the Opposition, containing the above statements, appeared in the Paris papers of yesterday morning. It would appear that this manifesto has caused no little alarm to the Ministry of Louis PHILIPPE, for the Journal des Debats hastens to assure the public that the Government will soon introduce a Reform Bill, and supplicates the Opposition to suspend the agitation which already presents so formidable a front. The reply to this is in the fact that the Re form banquet appointed to be held is to take place in the heart of Paris. The Mayors of arrondissements, in Paris, who be long to the Opposition signified their intended resigna tion if Government persisted in obstructing the Reform meetings. A report was current that the Prefect of the Seine had already resigned. A long conference was held, it is presumed, upon these urgent matters between M. GUIZOT, M. DUCHATEL, and the Minister of Justice. On Sunday another significant circumstance transpired. Sixty officers of the National Guard sent an address to the Opposition Deputies, in which they offered their services as an escort to the Reform banquets, and as a guard against any obstruction to the fulfilment of the intended demonstration. The receptions at the Tuileries; continue. The KING is in good health, and enjoys daily drives and walks. DEL CARRETTO, the late Minister of Police at Naples, had reached Marseilles. From private letters from Berlin it would seem that Baron ALEXANDER VON HUMBOLDT is lying dangerously ill. There is no longer any hesitation as to the Reform movement. The banquet is definitively fixed for Thursday, or, at the latest, Sunday next. Every man jack among the Opposition Deputies will at tend. Besides these there will be the opposition National Guards, armed only with their side-arms, since it is the etiquette that they cannot otherwise le gally appear in arms except when summoned by their chiefs. There was a report prevalent yesterday in Paris that 250 officers of the National Guard had adhered to the manifesto of the Opposition Deputies, and avowed their determination to attend at the banquet of the 12th arrondissement. The Government are resolved at this moment to prevent the banquet. Their means for enforcing submission to their will are immense. The army in Paris and its environs is numerically equal to the National Guard. Every barrack, every post, every guard house of the hundred that are in the capital is fortified and safe from a coup de main. The officers of the staff are studying the plan laid down by Marshal GERARD for resistance to a revolt. Every military post in Paris, and every one of the forts that surround and command it, is gorged with ammunition. There were no proceedings of any interest in the Chamber of Peers yesterday. In the Chamber of Deputies the project of law for defini tively regulating the budget of 1845 was discussed.

The Select Committee appointed by the House of Commons to ascertain the truth of the allegations con tained in the petition presented against the return of Mr. Grantley Berkeley met for the first time this morning in Committee-room Nu. 22 ; Mr. Granger in the chair. Nlr. SergeantWrargham, Mr. Sergeant Kinglake, and Mr. Merewether appeared for the petitioners ; and Mr. Crowder, Q.C., with whcm were Mr. Cooke and Mr. Westley, for the sitting Memlier. The usual preliminary resolution having been passed by the Committee, Mr. Sergeant WILANCHAIII opened the case for the petitioners, who, he said, were certain electors of West Gloucestershire, and they complained of the return of the sitting Member solely upon the ground of want of qualification. The Committee were no doubt aware that a qualification for Members of the House of Com mons had been required since a certain year in the reign of Queen Anne, but the most important Act upon this subject was passed in the ninth year of the reign of Anne, which recited a former Act, and was entith d An Act for Securing the Freedom of Parliament, by further qualifying Members to sit in the House of Com mons." That Act was afterwards amended by an Act passed in the thirty-third year of the reign of George the Second, which extended the provisions of these qualifying Acts to Ireland, and which provided that all knights of shires should have a qualification in land of 6001., and all burgesses who represented boroughs should be required to possess a qualification of 3001. per annum in land. These Acts remained in force down to the com mencement of the present reign, when by the statute of the Ist and 2d Vic., chap. 48, these Acts were altered so far as the subject-matter of the qualification was con cerned. The amount remained the same, but it was not thought expedient or just, seeing that property of dif ferent descriptions had grown up since the passing of the 33d of George 11., any longer to continue the quali fication comprised only in the possession of land, and per sonal property, under certain circumstances, was admitted to be a just qualification. Now, by the declaration which the sitting Member had made of his qualifica tion it appeared that he founded his qualification upon a rent charge of property in West Gloucestershire, amounting to 700/, and an income derivable from money invested in the funds. The money invested in the funds amounted in the whole to 51.142/. 14s. 4d., and produced an annual income of 1,534/. ss. 7d., but the latter sum was subjected to a number of incumbrances, and after pr,,vidtng for these incumbrances there only remained an income of 2021. ss. 7d. The incumbrances consisted of annuities, which the sitting Member had granted to various parties. In the first place, there was a❑ annuity of 4001., granted to Mrs. Grantley Berkeley, in the year 1824. In the year 1828 there was an annuity of 5161. a year granted to the Old Rock Insurance Company, since transferred to the Economic. In 1830 there was a second annuity of 861. a year granted to the same office. In 1839 an annuity of 951. per year was granted to a gentleman named Haskel. In 1842 an axiality of 1351. per annum was granted to the Economic Lite Office ; and in 1845 and 1847 Mr. Grantley Berkeley granted two annuitif fr of 50/. each to the Family Loan and Endowment Society, These incumbrances, therefore, reduced the income of air. Grantley Berkeley, derivable from funded property, to 2021. ss. 7d. With regard to the rent charge of 700/., the Committee would find by the evidence that Mr. Grantley Berkeley had no control over it. It was a rent charge, vested in certain parties in trust, to pay at their discretion the proceeds to Mr. Grantley Berkeley or to his wife. Since it had been left the proceeds had been paid to Mr. Grantley Berkeley, but s m t ti o teiya' It t e this w s o t u a l t d e mb ee he Ai rcould Grantleys b the trustees had it within their power to withhold the Berkeley had no qualification, and he had no right to sit for the Western Division of the county of Gloucester. It was decided by the Committee that the onus lay statement e b a y r, evidence,tlet°r therefore, that if with the petitioner, to prove that Mr. Grantley Berkeley was not qualified to hold a seat in the House of Com mons without calling upon that gentleman in the first instance to make good his qualification. G The Select Coinm ilE itte A e l a ' )toW.inquire into the truth of the allegations contained in the petition pre sented against the return of Thomas P. Williams, Eiq , and '''olonel Brownlow Knox fur Great .I , larlow, ass4am b,lt d for the first time this morning, in Counnitte‘-roan No. '24 ; Sir John Pakington in the chair. Mr. Sergeant Wrangham and Mr. Sergeant Kinglake appeared for the pytitioners, and Mr. Alexander and Mr. Edwin James for the sitting Members. Mr. Sergeant WRANGTIAM stated the case for the peti • tioners. The borough of Great Marlow he said did not contain more than 351 voters, but still it had often been the scene of severe contests amongst parties who were large landed proprietors residing in the neighbourhood of the borough. In 1841, Sir William Clayton, one of these gentlemen, was returned by a majority of one, but he was afterwards unseated upon the petition of Mr. Hampden, who claimed the seat. At the recent election Sir William again entered the field with every prospect of success, but Colonel Brownlow Knox came forward to oppose him, and by having re course to bribery and other corrupt practices, he, together with Mr. Williams, succeeded in defeating Sir William Clayton. The bribery in ques- tion occurred on the polling day, and so successfully was it carried on that a large body of Sir William Clayton's supporters were, towards the close of the poll, induced to turn their coats. The result was that Colonel Knox received a majority of 17 votes over Sir William Clayton, but in the moment of victory some of the voters inadvertently let fall certain hints, which lvd to an inquiry that placed beyond all doubt the means by which Sir William Clayton's supporters were induced, in the very hour of trial, to forsake their colours. Mr. ALEXANDER objected to his Learned Friend going into proofs of bribes administered to voters, on the ground that no list of voters who were said to have been bribed had been delivered to the sitting Members, in accordance with the provisions of the Bribery Act. HOUSE OF LORDS.—( THIS DAY.) The House met today to hear appeals. The peers present were the Lord Chancellor, Lord Hatherton, and Lord Elphinstone. BROUGIITON V BOUGHTON. The arguments on this appeal occupied their Lord ships the whole day. VICE-CHANCERY.—(THIS DAY.) (Before the VICE-CHANCELLOR Of ENGLAND.) DAVIS V. CHANTER. The further arguments in this part-heard case, which came before the Court upon nine causes, were re-argued this morning, and occupied his Honour the whole day. The case appears likely to occupy four or five days. (Before the Vice-Chancellor KNIGHT Baum) THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. MUNRo. The further arguments in this cause occupied his Honour the whole morning. QUEEN'S BEN CH.—(T HIS DAY.) (Nisi Prius sittings at Westminster, before the CHIEF JUSTICE and a Special Jury.) CLARK V. CHALLIS AND OTHERS. This was an action of trespass for breaking into and entering the plaintiff's house. From the statement of Sir F. Taxstoza, it ap peared that the plaintiff, who is a gentleman of great respectability, and who is secretary to the Army and Navy Medical Board, and the Widow's Fund, resides at a house in Tavistock-square which had been pre viously occupied by a person of the name of Berkely. The defendants are the two sheriffs of Middlesex, and Mr. Lawrence Levy, their officer. On the 10th of August last, about seven o'clock in the evening, and while Mr. Clark and his family were absent at Brighton, two men knocked at the door, which was opened by a female servant, the only person in the house, and demanded to see Mr. Berkely. They were told that Mr. Berkely had left there a twelvemonth ago; but not being satisfied with that state ment, they forced their way into the passage, and produced a warrant, distraining upon the goods in the house. They refused to leave the premises, and the servant called in two policemen, who were, however, unable to interfere. The plaintiff's son, it appeared, then went in search of Mr. Levy, whom he ultimately found at the Lyceum Theatre, for the purpose of explaining to him the mistake of his officers, but he treated the matter with the greatest nonchalence, and said that the man must remain in the house during the night. On the following day, however, Mr. Levy withdrew the officers, having been satisfied that Mr. Berkeley did not reside there. The Learned Counsel stated that the plaintiff, in the discharge of his duties, had large sums of money passing through his hands, and it was of the utmost importance that no suspicion should attach to his credit, and nothing was more likely to create that suspicion than the proceeding which was the subject of this action. Ile, therefore, sought com pensation at the hands of the jury for the injury he had sustained by the conduct of the defendants. Mr. HUMFRiY, for the defence, admitted the tres pass, but contended that, the 61. which the defendants had paid into Court was amply sufficient to cover all damage that the plaintiff had sustained. The LEARNED JUDGE, in summing up, said no malice had been shown on the part of the defendants, but they had evidently been guilty of a great deal of carelessness, and it would be for the jury to say what amount of compensation the plaintiff was entitled to. The jury almost immediately found a verdict for the plaintiff for 1001. DUKE OF BRUNSWICK U. GIMELIN. This action, which i 3 brought by the Duke of Brunswick to recover damages for libel against another publisher of the Satirist, stood for trial to day. His Highness, who appeared very much indisposed, applied to Lord Denman to have it postponed, as he said he was unable, from ill health, to undergo the fatigue of conducting his case to-day. Mr. CocmanaN said as his' Highness had not opposed him when he made a similar application to the Court, on precisely similar grounds, he should consent to the postponement of the trial. The case, therefore, stands over until the sittings after next term. ' • s. ;1'33 '•• EW. y.

Obetill3l 11,( Ultb LONDON, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 1848. Those who may have recently perused the narra tive of the proceedings in the Parliamentary Com mittee upon the Great Yarmouth Election must have been somewhat startled at the unblushing effrontery of that very immaculate constituency. All the decencies of electoral morality had been so flagrantly outraged, and the corruption of the majority of free men was divulged by themselves in a spirit of such exquisite callousness, that the mind revolts from this spectacle of depravity, and is almost fain to regard the franchise as one of the most formidable temptations that can be afforded to an Englishman. Never was the necessity of the ballot, as a preventive to wholesale bribery, more strikingly demonstrated. Since the virtual disfranchisement of Sudbury there have been no sueh revelations of baseness on the part of an entire constituency. It is not as if some half-dozen individuals had been detected in registering their votes "for a consideration." It is not as if a stray housewife had been cajoled into the advocacy of the interests of a particular candidate by the presentation of a cider-vat, or the tendering of a litter of guinea-pigs. There is no isolated instance of a voice being bartered for a handful of the current medallions struck off from the ingenious devices of Mr. WYATT ; no inci dental confession from a repentant cordwainer, or a careless yeoman, or a hardened shopkeeper. It is a plain, unvarnished, undisguised, monstrous, and deplorable disclosure of corruption the most gross and venality the most systematic. The circumstances explained to the Committee by the diffe rent witnesses would be ludicrous for their consum mate deliberation, were they not loathsome from their criminality. According to the confessions of several of the delinquents themselves, the bribery practised at the Great Yarmouth election has been practised, not under the mask of a mysterious obscurity, but with a sort of braggart candour—like a blowing rose —in the sunshine. The rendezvous on such occasions has been a public tavern in the market-place of Yarmouth, immediately opposite the polling-booths, and confronting the rival hostel of the opposing can didate. Over the entrance of one inn (the Angel) flaunted the red banner of the Conservatives; over that of the other (the King's Head) fluttered the blue drapery of the Liberals. In those places of refreshment the votes of the constituents appear to have been purchased as coolly as one might pur chase a bushel of acorns. In the hotel dedicated to the. genius of Toryism at least the system of politi cal peculation seems to have been practised like an habitual pastime. There appears to have been no inducements whatever thrust upon the electors ; they are described as having flocked to the doorway of the Angel almost instinctively. Up stairs was seated the tutelary divinity, or rather the officiating priest of that temple of corruption ; and up stairs accordingly flocked those possessors of the elective franchise, who, with due circumspection, had previously deco rated their button-holes with a crimson fa vour. At a table, plentifully laden with coin, sat the legal celebrant aforesaid—an at torney—one Mr. Costs—and thither pressed the freemen of Yarmouth, entering the apartment at one door, and coming out at another ! Such was the attention paid to the convenience and the ribs of these immaculate gentlemen ! We are narrating occur rences, not upon the authority of a novelist, but occurrences which have been authenticated upon evidence elicited before a Parliamentary Committee. We are speaking of corruption not dilated into gene ralities, but reduced to individual examples. Here are the specific bribes received by particular mem bers of the Yarmouth constituency, and enumerated in the report of the Votes and Proceedings of the House of Commons, printed only yesterday : "That it has been proved to the Committee," says the paper, " that E. Woolmer had been bribed with 31.; Curtis Hall, 31.; Robert Cobb, 3/. ; W. Lincoln Thorpe, 3/. ; W. Holt George, 31. ; W. Jones Hare, 3/. ; Benjamin Brown, 31.; Edward Bowles, 3/. ; Richard Rant, 3/. ; James Soulsby, 3/. ; Samuel Amis, 3/. and 4/. ; Joseph Newman, 31.; Samuel Drury, 31., and 31. given him for his brother; Philip Andrews, with 10s." Poor PHILIP ANDREWS ! Is it surprising that after such revelations Lord ARTHUR LENNOX and OCTANIUS EDWARD COOPE, Esq., are declared by the Committee to be unseated ; and that the Committee further recommends the im mediate disfranchisement of the borough of Great Yarmouth ? For the honour of the 944,000 electors of England, Wales, and Scotland, it is most devoutly to be hoped that the precedent of the disfranchisement of Sudbury will be followed by Parliament in reference to Great Yarmouth. Other wise the stain will prove infectious to the constituen cies of the United Kingdom. Otherwise the con sciences of the holders of the franchise may be ap praised in history. Otherwise the Commons may be leavened by the inferential ignominy of corruption— a corruption by which the ignoble shame of Sud bury has been surpassed by the insolent turpitude of Yarmouth. A case of " altar denunciation" has been established beyond the possibility of doubt. The Rev. Gentle man has acknowledged the justice of the accusation, or, in the words of a provincial contemporary, " ad mtiatntesdaetn that io he used the expressions that were manu factured i n t o a c h arge aga i ns t hi m ." If th e had taken place in the diocese of T r u am, we s h ou l d doubtless have heard of the v i le calumnies o f t h e English press, and the example of ST. GREGORY, or others of the ancient fathers, might have been adduced to prove that, although no such thing had ever taken place, and that it was quite contrary to the practice of the Rev. Gentleman, yet they would have been quite justified in doing so had they been that way inclined ; and that, in fact, it would have been a duty they owed to society to follow the bent of their fancy—and to hold up the delin quents to the indignation of the assembled multitud es . In the present instance, however, the circumstances had occurred in the diocese of a prelate who did not take quite so exalted a view of the priestly authority as some of his episcopal brethren, and who had the bad taste to imagine that even an ecclesiastic was bound to respect the laws of the land in which he dwelt, and to which he o we d his allegiance. Hence an investigation was directed, and as we have already stated, was rendered unnecessary by the Rev. Gentleman admitting at the 18. st moment that "he had used the expressions which had been manufactured into a charge against him." TUESDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 15, 1848. EXCHEQUER.--(THIS DAY.) (Sittings at Westminster.—Trial at Bar, before Mr. Baron PARICE, Mr. Baron ALDERSON, Mr. Baron ROLFE, and r. Baron PLATT.) BURON V. DENMAN. This case was resumed this morning. Mr. M. D. KILL proposed to put in evidence a letter from the Earl of Aberdeen to the Board of Admiralty, discountenancing proceedings similar to those of the nefendant. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL Objected to its being put in unless some documents referred to in the margin of the letter were given. Mr. M. D. HILL declined to put in the letter upon such conditions. The depositions of William Alitehell, a seaman on board the Wanderer, at the time of the descent made upon the coast of the Gallinas by the defendant—the depositions, which extended to some considerable length, corroborated in the main the statements made by the previous witnesses. Mariano Dines was recalled, and Mr. M. D. HILL, through the medium of an inter preter, asked him whether Mr. Buron could have any access to the stores after the sentries had been placed over them by the defendant ? to which the witness replied, " He could not." In at.swer to a question put by the ATTORNEY GENERAL witness said that the sentries were stationed for more than one day at Dombocorro, sentries wc , re Placed at the stores at Kamopora, and at Chiccore. They were stationed at Kamopora until the 23d, when the stores were fired. The sentries were stationed at Chiccore from the 19th to the 23d in elusive, and were withdrawn when the stores were fired. This concluded the case on the part of the plaintiff. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL then rose to address the jury on behalf of the defendant. It was difficult for any British advocate to address a jury called upon to estimate in money value their fellow human beings, and the value of the goods used for the purpose of carrying on traffic in human flesh. When they con sidered what in truth was the great and main truth in this case, and remembered that by the instrument of this cause, the defendant, having acted in the man ner which became him as an officer in her Majesty's navy, the case was one of the most vital importance, and he might be well excused if at the present time he felt that his exertions would be totally in adequate for the occasion. In the consideration of this case his Learned Friend (Mr. Hill) would forgive him if he declined to follow him into the many topics which he had introduced in his address yesterday. They had now nothing to do with what was the former practices of this country upon the slave trade, nor was it his duty to enlist the sympa• thies of the jury against the plaintiff upon this occa sion. It was their duty to administer the law as they found it, neither had they anything to do with that speculative inquiry or statement of his Learned Friend which appeared to him far more adapted for a meeting where the question of slavery was under consideration, than for an important occasion like the present; still less had they to deal with the matter of that policy which his Learned Friend condemned, or to enter into the difficult question of the circumstances of a Parliament, which, having made great sacrifices for the emancipation and perfect freedom of their fellow- men, was said to be guilty of the inconsis tency of purchasing the produce of slave labour.

DEATH 01' WILLIAM DOBSON, ESQ., SECRETARY TO LLOYD'S.—This gentleman, who was appointed a clerk on the establishment of Lloyd's in the year 1811, and succeeded Mr. John Bennett as secretary in 1834, on the decease of the latter, died this morning at his residence in Gray's Inn, after a long and painful illness.

CITY, Qt 'AR Eli TO T The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was firm Sales, 4,000 bales. Railway Shares were in improved demand. The state of political affairs at Paris, and the alleged withdrawal from London of the Austrian Ambassador, have been the topic of discussion in the City this morn ing, and there is a very confident feeling in the matter, though great reliance seems to be expressed in the talent and discretion of Lord Palmerston. The papers received yesterday from Canada give interesting particulars as to the progress of those great works which complete the water-communication of the British North American colonies. It is stated that— " Ey the liberal aid of the British Government, a series of canals, now nearly completed, has bk•en con structed, by which the city of Montreal will have the privilege of communication with the vast agrieultur.l region bordering on the western lakes, as far as Chi cago and Milwankie, by steam propellers, or sailing vessels capable of transporting large cargoes. The effect which may be product d by such a change in the facilities of navigation on that extensive line can hardly be calcu lated. They will doubtless be important to the city of Montreal, and to the whole region through which the line extends. Such would have been their effect, had Ilia line of artificial navigation terminated at Montreal. This would have made the great mart of a very exten sive inland trade. " By the improvement now proposed, Montreal opens a conimunic-ition, for a trade of another character, with the New York and the New England States. This trade also seems likely to prove beneficial both to Canada and to the States, if left unincumbered with burdensome legislation by the two Governments. The ports of Montreal and Burlington will become near neighbours, and with two distinct railroads between Burlington and Rochester, we shall be, for all purposes of business, near neighbours to them both." The granting of the sursis to De Bruyn and Co. by the higher council in Holland, which decides these matters, has been postponed for three weeks. The dealers and brokers in the Stock-Exchange were rather taken by surprise this morning at the sudden closing of " Bull " accounts, and at sales to some amount by parties supposed to have information concerning the financial plans of Government. We do not believe that any one is aware of the intention of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, though all may form their conclu sions, and the reported funding of five or seven millions of the Boating debt has probability enough to back it, without presuming that there is official information. Consols opened fairly at 891 1 5 , for transfer, declined suddenly to 89 to it, and are now 891 / for Money and Time.
