pecially manifested a desire to relieve himself from the charge of being anxious himself to be brought out as a candidate: and he urged it upon the delegates to meet to-morrow at Normanton, to make their choice upon principle. Mr. Fitzwilliam here unexpectedly left the platform. The suddenness of his departure took the meeting by surprise, and he was followed through the streets by an immense mob, and hisied and hooted as he left the town for Otle,y, where he afterwards addressed the electors.

America is now on the morrow, and France on the eve, of the election of a President. Both those great Republics—the democracies of the eastern and western hemispheres—have reached the banks of their periodical Rubicon. One has already crossed ; the other is preparing to make the same adventurous movement. Although we are in a great measure precluded from entertaining such anticipations, we would, nevertheless, cherish a hope that the Govern inent now i n course of installation at 'Washington may prov e an augury of the Government which will: na in all likelihood, have been established in Paris before the conclusion of December. In several particulars there is a resemblance between the contest rec en tl y terminated inthe 'United States :tad the one still ag i tat i ng the popui ation of Republi can France. Th e d angerous, tusei ndecisive, poi po i: of CASS tallies in completion with the tice: system associated with the charact ert of . Prince Louis NAPOLEON. On the oth er hand, heisclarllws of General TAYLOR to the confide nce of h citizens, are of the same straightforward andienued°risai putable excellence as those possessed by General CAVAIGNAC. In spite of the ardour of his adherents, CASs has fallen in his candidateship, a n d with that fall have disappeared all the anxieties, all the incertitude, and all the jeopardy which must inevitably have resulted from his elevation to ale chair of the President. It were well, perhaps, for France, were she to appreciate the vs isdom of the course here pursued by America, and, benefiting by the example afforded by the population of the United States, to reject the Candidate of so many sinister influences. For it is more than merely remarkable that Prince Louis NaroLsorr has been adopted by all the renegades of faction, by all the political adventurers whose previous history proves them to he devoid of principle, by all the conspirators for royalty, by all the sycophants for patronage, by all the aspirants for the loaves and fishes of adminis tration. It is more than a strange coincidence to find among the adherents of the son of King Louis and Queen HORTENSE, the name of such individuals as GEIZOT, the panderer to the political lusts of the late dynasty, as GIRARDIN, the most slanderous and the most venal of all the journalists of Paris,:as TRIERS, the statesman whose plasticity of allegiance is only equalled by the convenient elasti city of his conscience. Add to these the ultra-demo crats, whose watchwords are Pieage et viol! and the Henri Cinquistes, whose idols are the effeminacy and the fatuity of Bourbonism. Casa, as we hav e a l rea dy o b serve d, h ow e v er, has fallen.: is the sa me d est i ny reserved for BONAPARTE ? Will the French electors be so far entranced by de elamtions about glo r y an d i ns i nuations as to conquest, that ten months after th e i r uncon di t i onal triumph of ptil4rul, THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 22, 1848. February, they will bind themselves over to the task of aggrandizing the fortunes, and of nourishing the egotism of a man who has hitherto merely tolerated Republicanism ? Will the citizens of France consent to mortgage their liberties for the sake of imaginary successes and fictitious conquests ? Will they not re cognise the fact already carved upon the adamantine tablets of History that the glorious despotism of the Emperor NA POLEON was the great necessity of the age at the commencement of the pre sent century ?—that it was required for the purpose of beating down the insolence of the Continental Sovereigns; that it was, in reality, Re publicanism clad in the armour of Strength, asserting its capacity to set the old bugbear of the " right divine" at defiance ; that the conquests of NAPOLEON were, in short, a sublime vengeance wreaked upon the royal assailants of the Revolution. In the ter rible dangers which sometimes threatened the Re public of Rome the power of the Commonwealth was concentrated in the grasp of her greatest citizen, and that citizen reigned, during the existence of the crisis, with the pomp, the authority, and the title of Dictator. The Republic of France towards the close of the :eighteenth century was threatened with dangers more tremendous than ever impended over the democracy of ancient Rome—dangers of a two fold character, those of anarchy within, and those looming from without in the shape of a Coalition among the tyrants of Christendom. To save France from a destruction which must, otherwise, have been inevitable, to vindicate the right of a free people to choose its form of government, to expiate the crimes of the Revolution, and to set the heel upon the neck of autocracy, the Dictatorship was volun tarily decreed to NAPOLEON, under the title of Emperor. That glorious Dictatorship triumphed for ten years, until, in fact, its fullest destinies had been accomplished. When continental Europe had been conquered from one extremity to the other—when the imperial banners had floated over all the palaces of Christendom, from the copper dome of the Kremlin to the Moorish pinna• Iles of the Alhambra—when the will of NAPOLEON was alike the law to the shepherds on the Julian Alps and the fishermen on the Baltic—when his soldiers penetrated at the same moment into the most distant portions of Castile and into the remotest corner of Pomerania—when he had disposed with his own band of thirteen diadems—when he was himself an Em peror and a King—when JosEru had worn the crown of Spain, Louis that of Holland, JEROME that of Westphalia, and Joacnix that of Naples ;—then, and not till then, the Dic tatorship ceased, with the temporary success of the European Sovereigns. At the present moment, it would be an absurdity to maintain that French Republicanism requires the same safeguard from destruction. Thanks to the conquests of the Emperor NAPOLEON, the principles of Democracy, have been so widely disseminated throughout Christendom, that the whole Continent is either virtually or actually revolutionized. No one dreatni 'of invading France for the purpose of abolishing' her Republican institu tions, and of restoring royalty to the splendours of the Tuileries. France has developed her Re publicanism since February without a whisper of opposition from any Cabinet. Her Constitution is now perfected, and she requires—not a Dictator under the name of an Emperor, but a Patriot under that of a President. General TAYLOR has without doubt by this time been nominated the successor of POLE. Will France, actuated by the same sentiments as those which have led to this decision in the United States, nominate General CAVAIGNAC to the office of President ? The answer will be audible in this country before the 12th of December. Were every one inspired with sentiments as pure and exalted as those of M. De LAMARTIXB, we should have no fear as to the result of the approaching election. Speaking of his own candidateship for the dignity of First Magistrate of the Republic, which was founded by his genius and courage, that great patriot exclaims— " I should think it unworthy of France to endeavour to influence hur by acts or words. I should think it unworthy of myself to endeavour to exalt myself in the face of my country. lam what I am, what God has made me, neither more nor less. It is for my country to judge if I can or not still serve it in any way. It is not for me to plead for my pride, or to humiliate myself by begging for confidence or votes, which are of value only when voluntary, conscientious, and maturely re flected. It would be said, besides, that I seize on this opportunity, or that I have contrived it, to publish here a manifesto, a programme for myself, as candidate for the place of President. What is the necessity of a manifesto for a man whom France beheld for three months at the Hotel de Ville, or at the Hotel of Foreig❑ Affairs ? For a man who spoke for three months of the Republic, and of the moderate, honest, constitutional, progressive, and conservative sense, which he attached to that word? My name is a manifesto; my life during those three months is a programme —or if not, there are no mani festoes or programmes intelligible to the mind and to the eyes of the people. I cannot, therefore, consent to falsify my position, in appearing to desire what I dread. If I am elected, I will accept, and I will be devoted to my duty. If I am not elected, I shall be well pleased, and I will realise the word of an orator in our first assemblies:—' The Republic would be possible, if some one would consent to be the second.' I will be the second, the third, the last; no matter what, provided th© Republic be well served and well defended I" Such noble and sublime sentiments of patriotism as these would be sufficient of themselves to entitle ALPHONSE DE LAMARTINE to the suffrages of his fellow-citizens as first President of the 13-emocratio Republic, One and Indivisible. Two additional railway statements, of vast import ance, have just been published. The directors of the Eastern Counties and of the Midland Compa nies have complied with the strongly expressed de sire of the great body of the shareholders, and have given a full and explicit account of their present posi tion and prospects. Nine of the most influential companies have thus laid their affairs, without re serve, before the public, and as it will be impossible for others of less note to maintain mystery or to with hold information similar to that which has been afirded respecting the affairs of the more colossal undertakings, we may venture to predict that every circumstance of the slightest importance that should be taken into account in estimating the value of railway stock of any denomination will speedily be explained. One great cause of the undue depreciation in the value of shares will thus be wholly removed, and the "Bears" disarmed of a weapon which they wielded with the most powerful effect against the property of their victims. They will no longer be enabled to poison the public mind with their false and calumnious insi nuations. When they speak of the vast increase of traffic that must take place in order to maintain the dividends, or of the enormous sums still required to complete the works, a simple reference to the authentic " statements " will refute their erroneous calculations, and serve to re-assure the minds of those who might otherwise have been affected by their insidious advice. The " statements" now under notice furnish no exceptions to the general rule. They exhibit more favourable p os iti ons an d better prospects than could o a f v t e il been ant i c i pated, and furnish additional evidence dertsc:undn"s and stability o f th ose g i gan ti c un capitalmagnd Britishh these wondrousisa. o r us monuments w of th ß at ritish rea sonable exp ectations m en ay be entertained o f remu o nerating dividends after probable exp en di ture, that comparatively small amounts will be reauires to t expedient oly complete the judiciously* several works, at least, unt il it shall aIP to the general body of the sharehold)eer e : n r j o with the several branches which have be abandoned until the arrival of a more propitious P eriod , when a majority of the proprietors shall sanction their construction. It appears from the first statement that the "Eastern Counties Consolidated Stock," including , all the " York Extension Shares " registered or en titled to be registered, and also including a bonus capital of 1,087,0001. amounts to 5,886,980/.—there are in addition certain guaranteed stocks which, increase the " total amount of share capital, carrying fixed interest or dividend," to 9,717,220/. The debentures issued (for the Eastern Counties Company,B2o,6l6/.,and advanced to the Norfolk Com pany 30,0001.), amount in the whole to 150,6161., and the balance of liabilities beyond assets to be dis charged at various periods during the year are taken at 283,757/.; making in the whole a grand total of share and loan capital and liabilities of 10,851,593/, The amount of liabilities to be provided for, however, appears to have been rather over-estimated, inasmuch as no less than 50,0001. has been allowed for contin gencies beyond all known liabilities, and there is a further surplus property estimated to produce 30,0001., which has not been taken into account in any manner. It is, however, perhaps, the wisest 'course to place the matter in the least favourable point of view, as it will be much more satisfactory to announce on a future occasion an excess of esti mates over expenditure, than the reverse. The affairs of the Norfolk Company are contained in a distinct table. They are made up in the same manner as those of the Eastern Counties, to which we have already adverted. The consolidated stock amounts to 1,040,390/. This is increased by certain guaranteed stocks to a total share capital of 1 ,722,3701., carrying fixed interest or dividend. The Norfolk and Lowestoft Company's debentures amount to 507,500/., and there remains to be paid, to close the capital account (after deducting the value of the available assets), 57,693/.—so that the total share and loan capital and liabilities of the Norfolk Company amount to 2,287,563. A guarantee has been given to the Eastern Counties Company that the amount of the " amalgamated capital of the Norfolk Company " shall not exceed 2,300,0001. From this general statement it appears that the total stock entitled to dividend, and not guaranteed, amounts to 6,9127,370/., viz., Eastern Counties stock (including the bonus capital of 1,087,0000, 5,886,9801.; and Norfolk Company's stock (includ ing 87,070/. not yet paid up), 1,040,390/. In addi tion to this sum, the guaranteed stocks amount, for the Eastern Counties, to 3,830,240/., and for the Norfolk to 681,980/. The debentures and liabilities of both companies increase the total amount of capital of both companies to 13,139,1561. (inclusive of the bonus capital). The total receipts for the current half-year will, it is calculated, exceed 400,0001., and taking various favourable circumstances into account, includ ing an additional mileage recently opened and to be opened, it is estimated that the annual re venue from and after the Ist July, 1849, will amount at least to 940,0001., and it is reasonably enough anticipated that this revenue will be susceptible of increase; 350,0001. is allowed for working expenses the guaranteed interest, stocks, deoentures, and liabilities, 320,548/. ; and the net surplus will be applicable to the dividends or the consolidated stock, This will, even if no improvement should take place, fully maintain the amount of dividend that has been recently paid, and at present prices yield nearly seven per cent. on thei capital invested. There are, however, many circumstances that will further improve the value of the stock, and thus add to the beneficial character of the investment. The further capital required by both companies, (exclusive of 87,070/. to be called up on certain Nor folk shares) amounts only to 355,000/., which may be reduced by receipts from surplus property. The total mileage will be 322 miles. The company has not subscribed to any other lines, but it will have the ,benefit of several valuable feeders, without any responsibility on 'account thereof. The debenture debts of both companies amount to little more than one-tenth of their aggregate capital. ;; Large borrowing powers still exist unexercised, and ample means may thus be provided for discharging the small amount of liabilities outstanding. These are, indeed, satisfactory announcements, on which we heartily congratulate the shareholders. On a future eccasion we shall notice the principal features apparent in the " Midland Statement." THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. The speeches at the Democratic and Socialist Banquet, held at the Chateau Rouge on the evening of Sunday, are represented as having been of a very violent character. M. LEDRU ROLLIN proposed a toast " To the Republique Democratique et Sociale,' thus for the first time openly identifying himself with the Red Republican and Socialist party. In the course of his speech M. LEDRU ROLLIN alluded to the murder of ROBERT BLUM, with whom he had bee❑ personally acquainted. The meeting was ex cited almost to a state of frenzy by this allusion. Both General CAVAIGNAC And LOUIS NAPOLEON BONAPARTE were denounced, and I. DE RIBET ROLLE3, one of the editors of the 1-6:forme, pronounced an eulogiuni on ROBESPIERRE and MARAT. In com menting on the proceedings at this banquet, the Con stitutionnel says— " We have still the same declamations and the same violence in sentiments and ideas. Here, for example, we have a toast in honour of the men who acted as the representatives of democratic journalism in all ages. That the names of Loustalot and Camille Desmoulins should be saluted causes no surprise; but the name of Marat—why should it be pronounced ? "To Marat himself,' exclaimed the author of the toast, and nume rous voices responded, Yes, yes, to Marat!' Yes,' re sumed the orator, yes, I say, when Marat corn batted, and well combatted, and was calumni ated, we were threatened by the grand aristocra cies that Marat and Robespierre knew, and if they combatted with so much energy, it was because they knew their enemies better than we knew them.' " On this the anstitutionnel observes, " What better could wo ask our enemies to do for as than to pro nounce such names and such words before France? The glorification of a name that excites horror ! and is it not strange that the journalist who speaks thus, raises his ♦oice day after day to demand an amnesty, and, at the same time, honours the man who demanded 300,000 heads! not only does he honour him, but holds up his name as an example. Marat knew his enemies better than we do. What, do you want to take lessons i❑ his school? It is you, in point of fact, that have not ceased to regret, when speaking of the clemency that followed the first days of February, the conquerors had not recourse to the arms employed by our fathers in the first revolution. Give banquets, messieurs of the Social and Democratic Republic, for is holding such language you are making converts against yourselves." The Moniteur du Soir publishes an official contra dietion of the statement which appeared in the Patrie that the Marquis of NORMANDY had called on Louts NAPOLEON BONAPARTE. The same official journal contains the following front Rome without date : " M. Rossi has been stabbed in the throat with a dag ger, on his way to the Hall of Deputies. Public order has not been disturbed." • M. FERDINAND BARROT, the brother of M. ODILON BARROT, has published a letter in' support of the candidateship of Louis NAPOLEON. In com menting on this letter, the Siècle says However, his candidateship will triumph. Many are of that opinion —be it so. But what will be the form of government—the empire with a Bonaparte ? The Constitutional Monarchy with a Regency or with an Orleans ? Legitimacy with the Duke of Bordeaux ? What, in fine ; let his partisans declare. Do you ima gine they are all going to unite as cordially after as be fore his election to the Presidency ? Their present sup port is only now founded on an idea of distinction, and it will be kept up for the same purpose. We shall either have the simultaneous struggles of pretenders, or we shall have civil war, confusion, and anarchy, en permanence. " This is not, perhaps, what will be, but what is much to be feared. We believe in the good intentions of M. Louis Bonaparte, but we do not believe in his power to restrain all the elements of disorder. Many talk of the unanimity of the votes in some departments. Let the laws of proscription weigh on other dynasties, and it will be seen where the unanimity lies. It is only appa rent, it is a lure and a falsehood. The moderate party can only remain united for the defence of society in the Republic. That will be henceforth easy ; it has only to give its strength to the Government, and its sanction, aid when it does not do so, society will be in danger." _ _ _ We read in the National— - "If M. Louis Napoleon appears as little 23 possible and never speaks in public, knowing well that he should gain nothing by being known, on the ether hand, in the give little circle of his friends, he thinks it necessary *zo e, g himself Napoleon manners. When he d appears, he has himself preceded by a chasseur in gran back h Prince, one hand behind his to the chimney.

It is a suggestive fact that the Faubourg St. Ger main, the head-quarters of the old Legitimatist aris tocracy, and the Faubourg St. Jacques, the head quarters of the insurrectionists of June last, should both have declared in favour of Prince Louis NAPO LEON. This circumstance corroborates the views of those who maintain that the June insurrection was Ro n al idt by monarchic a l i ntriguers, supported by ys money, and would if successful have been used for Legitimatist purposes. Le Semeur, the organ of the French Protestants, has declared for General CAVAIGNAC, whose canvass in the department of the North, and also in Mar seilles and Languedoc, has been most successful. In Languedoc alone he will poll upwards of 400,000 votes. The difference which had arisen between the Bey of Turns and the Consul of the French Republic has been arranged. Admiral BAuDw has, however, ordered two ships of the line—the Jena and Jem mappes--to remain at Tunis for the winter. On Monday the project of law for giving to the Treasury bondholders and savings' banks depositors new stock, more in accordance with the marketable value than was allowed by the decree of the 7th of July, was brought forward in the National Assembly. The proposal of the Committee of Finance was to give 5 per cent., at 71f. 60e. for the stock that has been issued at 80f.; and for the 3 per cent., at 55f. stock, at 46f. 40c. M. GonDcriAtrx proposed 51f. instead of 55f. for the Treasury bondholders. After a long discussion a division was called when there not being a sufficient number of Mem bers present to make a House the Assembly adjourned. A committee has been appointed to conduct the canvass of M. DE LAMARTINE for the Presidency of the Republic. M. DUPONT (DE L'EuaE) is the pre sident of the committee, and the other members are MM. Gamier Pages, Duclerc, Barthelemy St. Hi laire, De Prebois, and Xavier Durrieu. At the sitting of the Assembly yesterday, the first clause of the decree relative to the reimbursement of the Bons du Trssor and the deposits in the Savings' Banks, was adopted by a majority of 405 to 106. General CAVAIGNAC then mounted the tribune, to ask the Assembly to fix a day for some interpellations which he wished to put to MM. Gamier Pages, Duclerc, Pagnerre, and Barthelemy St. Hilaire► with respect to a " calumnious circular" bearing their names. M. GARNIER PAGES repelled the idea that the circular in question was calumnious, and agreed that a day should be fixed for the discussion, and after a short discussion Saturday was fixed for that purpose. The Moniteur of yesterday gives the following ac count of the contents of the portfolio to which allusion has been so often made by the Journal des Debats " It is easy to g i ve the most satisf a ctory informati on with respect to the contents of the portfolio. The shares of the canals, and the Five and Three per Cent. Rentes, derived from the savings' banks, figure in the portfolio, not for the price at which they were purchased (that is to say 86 millions, as shown by the Debuts), but for their real value at the price of the day of their entry into the portfolio of the Treasury—namely, 46 millions. The obligations of the Northern Railway Company figure for 57 millions, of which 12 millions are payable in 1849. The rest of the 143 millions, minus five mil lions, which have y e t t o b e ar ranged (a regularizer), are composed of bills at short dates, which the Treasury, if it should think it proper, could negotiate immediately." BOURSE—PARIS, TUESDAY, NOTEMBER 21. THREE o'CLocK.—The rise of yesterday continued to day, without anything remarkable. About 70,000 f. of Five per Cent. Rentes were discounted to-day.

SPAIN. Madrid journals of the IGth have arrived. The following very important letter from Barce [one, dated the 10th, is published in the Espectador:— "A rumour in circulation here yesterday, and which has since acquired greater probability of truth, is of so much importance that I feel bound to communicate it. It is stated, with reference to letters from head-quarters, written by persons who ought to be well informed, that the war in Catalonia will be terminated within a few days, by means of an arrangement which is far advanced between Generals Cordova end Cabrera, whose titles, rank, and decorations will be recognised. The only difficulty consists, it appears, in establishing definitively the condition of Montemolin and his family; and in case the obstacles to this part of the arrangement be over come, Cabrera will transmit the convention to Monte molin for his approval. Should the latter refuse to accept it, the Carlist chief will then make his submission to the Government, and publish a manifesto justifying the de termination he has come to I confess I placed this ru mour amongst the many in circulation, invented with the object of amusing the curious; but being well in formed since then, I think it right to assure you that there is something of a positive nature at bottom; and that perhaps the day is not far off Olen we shall wit ness a repetition in miniature of the celebrated embrace of Bergara. The proximity of Cabrera to the head quarters of Cordova; the inactivity of the one as well as of the other; the goings and comings of certain persons; the secret conferen ces o f th e M ontemo li n i st chief in Madrona and Tora—all this induces me to be lieve that some important affair is in hand, and that what I have already mentioned is neither distant nor improbable." The Herald() denies that the Government have entered into negotiations with CAnaeRA, although it expresses hopes that he will make his submission. The decree convoking the Cortes for the 15th December was to appear in the Gaceta on the 19th instant. "MADRID BoLsa, Nov. 16. Three per Cents., 19f ; Five per Cents., 9i. Exchange on London, 48 40. done; expressing, also, its disapproval of the exceptional laws, which militated against the privacy of the dwell ing. Particular orders had been given some time ago to the Imperial Commissaries to effectuate, if possible, the abrogation of these invidious statutes. He must again repeat, that, as regarded Austria, the above. mentioned police measures were legal, though his colleagues and he sincerely deplored the legality of then]. Venedey said, with considerable warmth, he was not come to speak of the legality or illegality of these penal laws. On the 3d ult. the National Assembly had passed a resolution for securing the full recognition of the Central Power in Austria; for effectuating a blood less termination to the disagreement now pending be tween the Emperor and his subjects; and for the defence of the rights accorded to German-Austrians in the months of March and May last. What had been done to carry out this resolution/ The Ministry bad said an Imperial Commissary had been sent to Vienna. This was not true.—(Cheers and clamour.) The commissary had gone for a walk, and not to Vienna. The Prince of Leiningen was still in Frankfort. The resolutions of the Assembly were treated with scorn.—(Cheers.) There had been such inefficiency evidenced in the Aus trian question, that the future would call them all to judgment for not obligiug the Ministry to carry out their resolutions. If these resolutions were to be no more than empty words, nothing but shame and infamy would recoil upon the Assembly.—(Scene of great clamour.) He (Venedey) was convinced that either the ministry were not in a condition to carry out the resolutions of the Assembly, and in that case they had better resign at once, or they were in a condition to do so and would not.—(Clamour and loud cheers from the left.) President Von Gagern said he had an unwelcome duty to perform :—He must call Herr Venedey to order for saying that the Imperial Ministry were not willing to do their duty.—(Great opposition on the left.) He could not understand Herr Venedey otherwise, but he would beg of him to repeat his expression. Venedy repeated the sentence as given above, and the call to order was retracted. Schmerling, the Minister, would animadvert but briefly on the heap of reproaches cast upon his col leagues and himself by the last speaker. It had been said that the Assembly had been deceived, that the Im perial Commissary bad been walking about in Frankfort when he should have been on his way to Vienna. [The President begged to remark that the word deceived had not been used.) He greatly regretted the fact of Blum's execution. But it was bard, indeed, to throw the blame upon the Imperial Ministry, which had no official notice at all of his being in ,Vienna. It would, as it were, seem to make the Ministry responsible for every single act of every individual member, and would bring about a state of things in which interpellations like that of Herr Jahn would be constantly necessary, who asked whether Blum and others had been furnished with Ministerial passports. The Minister then traced the conduct of the Ministry from the evening of the Bth, when the first news of Blum's arrest arrived in Frank fort. Prince Leiningen had received the most ample instructions, but in consequence of their stringency he had declined the mission. Another commissary had been chosen, but he was not in Frankfort, and they awaited his answer. The two commissaries (Pauer and Potzl) lately dispatched, had been rigidly enjoined to do their utmost to secure the desired end. They who had commissioned Blum to repair to Vienna were per haps more in fault than the Ministry, who knew nothing of his going. At any rate he would cite the proverb, "He who leaps into the fire may possibly perish in the flames." Vogt said he would leave the Minister's last words unnoticed, though his whole soul trembled when he heard them. But he would come directly to the fact of forced military enrolment. The Ministry said this was legal, but if it were legal it would be treason to one's country to insist upon the law on which it was based. Why should they not at once declare the abrogation of such a law? To the true patriot all such statutes were null and void. In the Recruit Act of 1827 there was not a word said about political offenders; and he would call upon the Minister, if he knew a little more of Austrian law than he did of Ba varian—of which, by-the-by, he had confessed himself ignorant—(Laughter)—h© would call upon him to prove the legality. But it was a purely Austrian question, and was, in deference to constitutional principles, to be referred rather to the Austrian Diet. Now his Excel lency had said that he had delivered only his own pri vate opinion in this case. Was this constitutional? He thought the answer to an interpellation was delivered on the collective authority of the Ministry, and that the Ministry stood responsible for every such declaration. The President reminded Vogt that the Minister had delivered his private opinion merely as to an unimpor tant matter of form, and not as to the main point at issue. Vogt said he was too much used to be interrupted by the President on every occasion of the Imperial Minis try being—(Great clamour on the Right)—Vogt re• stuned—He did not call in question the President's right to call to order, but he did question and protest against his assuming any right to pass a critique or an opinion on the words of a speaker. The President remarked that he had not pretended to criticise, but he was perfectly justified in endeavouring to clear up a misunderstanding. Yogt (resignedly)—Well, be was still of opinion that the. Imperial Ministry had never done its duty. It had always been very lavish of its one favourite phrase, viz .—" That it would strenuously exert itself at all times against both reaction and anarchy." But did the Ministry think it could govern the world by a single phrase—(Cheers from the Left)—with one pet phrase as pliable as india rubber? He need not remind them of the saying of the sage—" My son, you know not with how little wisdom the world is governed." He would let the question of wisdom alone—(Cheers)—but if it should really be said that the Imperial Ministry had governed Germany with its own phrase, bitter, indeed would be the verdict pronounced by history.—(Loud cheers from the Left.) The close of the debate on Giskra's motion was then carried. Another motion, for referring the above motion to a committee, was rejected (Noes, 238; Ayes, 168), and the original one by Giskra was adopted by a fair majority. Berger then moved that every attempt to influence the outstanding elections in Austria should be declared illegal, and be punished accordingly. Ho did not insist on the urgency of this resolution. After a motion by Simon, to the effect that the Im perial Ministry be called upon to put a stop to police anarchylin Bavaria, and to insist upon the retractation of the order for the ejection of the Viennese students (urgency negatived) the order of the d a y was move d, and, after considerable opposition, was carried. (Ayes, 247 ; Noes, 175.) The President then said that, although the order of the day was resolved upon, he must beg to be allowed to read a motion of Ilerr Rappard's, marked urgent.— (Angry and clamorous opposition.) He still persisted. —('Tremendous clamour.) The President then, allow ing that the procedure on his part had been unparlia mentary, begged Rappard to be satisfied for the present. In the sitting of the 18th, M. de Schmerling, Minister of the Interior, announced to the Assembly that M. de Bassermann, Under-Secretary of State, had returned yesterday evening from Berlin, and had rendered an account of his mission to the Assembly in the course of its sitting. The Minister added that the Ministry, convinced of the necessity of having a permanent repre sentative at Berlin, M. Simson, Vice-President of the National Assembly, and M. Hergenhahn, had set out that morning, in order to execute the orders of the As sembly of the 14th. M. Rappart proposed certain strong resolutions to the Assembly, but he was interrupted, and M. Bassermann was called on to render an account of his mission at Berlin, which he did, concluding with a statement, that finding it impossible to effect an amicable arrangement of the differences between the Prussian National Assembly and the King, he had thought it advidable to quit Berlin, and return to Frankfort, and give in his resignation of Under-Secretary of State to the Vicar-General of the Empire. Seferal propositions were then made and rejected. REPORT OF FR(EBEL ON THE MURDER OF BLUM. Tip President then re a d a b r i e f note from Julius Frcetlel, stating his ret . ..ng _.urn to Frankfort, and expressing adesire to make a f orma l report to the Assembly of the circumstances connected with the trial and conviction of himself and his colleague in Vienna. The President, in answer, had requested Frcebel to make his report a pub lic one. Frcebul had taken this for a refusal to give him a hearing in the Assembly; and, in anuther note, had declared that ho would not enter the Assembly until it had passed a resolution by which a special hearing was accorded him. The President took the sense of the House, and the hearing was unanimously granted. Frmbel mounted the rostrum—(Deatening cheers from a great part of the Assembly and galleries.) lie said they had resolved to hear his report. They need not fear that he would be too diffuse, or enter upon cir cumstimeee that were not immediately connected with the arrest, &c., of. Blum and himself. The great point to decide was—had the resolutions of the National As sembly been violated ? He would show them exactly how matters had stood. They knew the occasion of the journey to Vienna.—(" No.") Then he would tell them. After Werner had moved that Vienna had deserved well of Germany, the Left had resolved to send a deputa tion td that city, expressing its approval of the late move ment. Two other members accompanied them. Th ey communicated immediately on their arrival with the com mon council and the students' committee. They then pro ceeded to the Assembly and were received with loud accla mation's of welcome. On the 20th they were ready t o leave Vienna again. Blum and he applied for passports at the Saxon Embassy, but were there and els ew h ere dissuaded from attempting a return, as it was asserted that they would scarcely pass the beleaguering army without being maltreated.—(Murmurs.) The elite corps had been formed, and they were each offered the com• mend of a company. The offer was accepted. Bl um had the Ist company, and he the 3d. The intention of this corps was to keep order in the city, which w as scarcely a less dangerous service than having to face the imperial troops. Shots were . constantly fired f rom the windows, and houses broken into. As sharers in the hospitality of Vienna, they thought it theirduaty ad to take had part in all needful measures of defence. T o th e i r great surprise, Blum and ho were separated, to take up :their station at the most dan gerous points, They were sure that the city could riot hold out long ; and more than this, that it would be betrayed. Ilium stood con f ronting the Croatians. Ho had five pieces of artillery at his emu .. eland, but had strict orders riot to commence the attack. This is a proof that their party were r e l uctant to engage . in strife. Seeing the hopeless stat e o f t hi ngs, they re solved to resign. This they did on the 29th. He must expressly contradict what had been stated in the papers, viz., that Blum fought after th e cap i tu l ation. From the 29th October to the 4th ult., they remained quietly in their hotel. They avoi''ed go i ng out on account of the horrible massacres that were occurring. In the mean while—it must have been the Ist November—they wrote to General Jonitz, declaring that they were do- taineti against their end begging for a fre escort Gut of the city. They were referred, in :answer to General Kord,r.. They wrote to General liordon, and were that day dragged out of their 6eds, and arrested by a Captain and his guard. The warrant of arrest was addressed to General Kordon. They pro tested orally against the arrest, instancing their position as members of the National Assembly. This was use less. Up to the Bth he must confess they were well accommodated in their confinement. They had the best rooms in the house or prison, and these were well furnished, and all possible comforts were supplied them. On the Bth ult., four P.M., they handed in a written protest; the effect of this was Blum's trial at six that evening. This lasted till eight. The next morning early his sentence was communicated to him, and at half-past seven A.m. of the same day he was executed. Ile must mention that on the sth ult. they had written to the President of the National As setably, praying for protection. &c., but probab note had never reached him. He must also mention that on the last day which he passed with Blum, a man had been introduced into their apartment, under the plea of there not being room for him elsewhere. Ho was ostensibly a prisoner too. In spite of signs and hints from him (FL cebel) Blum answered his questions freely, and de tailed the whole circumstances connected with his participation in the riot. The same man told them " They had not protested strongly enough; they did not understand the Austrian autho rities ; and if they only indited a vehement protest, they would probably be at liberty on the morrow. The protest was drawn up, and the consequences he had al -1 ready narrated. He, however, had previously told Blum that it was couched in too strong terms. He had also reserved a copy of the pretest, but on an after occasion this paper was abstracted from among the other papers and articles which had been restored to him subsequently to his apprehension. (The speaker narrated the arti fice employed to get secret possession of this paper.) His own condition, after Blum's condemnation, which he did not know of at once, took another elect. He was removed to bad quarters, and kept in a torment of suspense for four days, expecting every hour would be his last. He was finally tried, and sentenced to be hung by the neck till dead. The first question put him by the Court was—' Did you carry arms alter the 23d, on which day the state of siege was declared?' Answer— ' Yes.' This the examining officer said was enough. He (Friebel) endeavoured to excuse himself on the score of the faulty publication of the state of siege in Vienr itself, and was then asked if he did not know what a state of siege meant. Ile defended him self altogether as well as he could without compromising his honour. He was asked if he had written a pamphlet recommending a resolution of the complexities of Austrian dominion, and the union of all the provinces to one united whole. He acknowledged the pamphlet, and fortunately a copy, to his great sur prise, was in his possesssion. (This seems to have told well for him.) lie had abstained, he said, in this recital, from any attempt to arouse their passions, or to excite strong emotion; but one thing he must mention in conclusion, that on the occasion of his full pardon being announced to him the officers and others who formed the Court testified a marked feeling of joy. This had deeply touched him. The narration of the speaker was listened to with breathless attention, interrupted occasionally by a murmur of dissatisfaction or the contrary, according to the nature of the single facts adduced. He retired amid loud cheers. PRUSSIA. We have received intelligence from Berlin of the 18th instant. The process of disarmament had been completed, and the public tranquillity had remained undisturbed. The Ministerial crisis continues. BECKERATH had not arrived, and would not, it was said, until he should have carte blanche from the Kira. CAMPHAUSEN, it was said, would form part of the new Ministry. The following are said to be the demands made by the leaders of the Left Centre : "That the new Ministry be formed of the Left Centre and of the Left, and that in every case Waldeck and Jacobi shall be included in it. " That the King shall dismiss all the persons by whom he is at present surrounded, and fix his residence at Berlin. " That all the princes of the blood royal shall reside abroad during the sittings of the Assembly. " That all the troops of the National Guard shall be immediately licensed. " That Berlin shall be immediately evacuated by all the troops. Finally, that the King shall no longer interfere in the affairs of government, properly so called, but commit them entirely to his Ministers." It is stated on good authority that the Govern ment intends to defer the ,ordinance relative to the translation of the National Assembly to Branden burg, and, if possible, to enter into an amicable arrangement with the people. The Prussian Staats Anzeiger contains the official appointment of M. HINKELDY, Supreme Government Counsellor, to the office of President of Police of Berlin, in the room of M. BASDELELIEN. The Communal Council of Cologne has petitioned the KING to dismiss the Brandenburg Ministry, and not to transfer the sittings of the Assembly to Bran denburg. The Committee of the Rhenish Circle of Democrats have adopted certain resolutions which maybe summed up thus :—Agreeably to the resolution of the Prussian National Assembly, they were determined not to pay taxes, and to resist their collection ; the Land strum was to be organized, and the communes called on to pay the necessary expenses • the authorities were to d ec l are p u bli c l y whether they would support the resolution of the As sembly, and in case they refused the Democratic committee would act in unison with the municipal councils, and such popular bodies as were opposed to them were to be dissolved, and a new election to take place so as to secure more favourable coadjutors. On the 18th a placard, of which the following is a transcript, was posted on the walls of Treves ; "To the City and the country I—The National Assembly expects with confidence the refusal of the people to pay taxes. The communal taxes are not, however, included in this refusal." It is said that the KING is anxious to abdicate. ST UTTGARD. In the sitting of the 16th the Chamber adopted the following resolution, by a majority of 72 votes against 2 :—To assist the Prussian Constituent As • sembly, and that it would take the most speedy mea sures to protect that Assembly against the pretensions of a Government which did not possess the confidence of the country, and which, therefore, could not pro tect the empire. It also guaranteed the Prussian people against the military despotism with which it was threatened, becauze the liberty, honour, and happiness of Prussia could only be maintained and secured by the most sincere submission to the na tional power. M. SEIGER also proposed an address to the National Assembly against the assassination of lima', upon which proposition a very lively debate ensued. DENMARK. COPENHAGEN, NOV. 16.--THE NEW MINISTRY.— Private communications dated ten o'clock in the after noon, contains the following list of the new Ministry : —Count A. W . Moltke, President of Foreign Affairs ; Von Sponneck, Finance; Meedvig, Religion ; Ge neral Hansen; War ; Bang, Interior ; Clausen, pro tem., without portfolio ; Von Zahrtmann, Marine ; M. Barclenfleth, Justice. The list is not yet pub lished officially, but is given as highly probable.— Hamburgh Borsenhalle, Nov. 18. ITALY. In the sitting of the Chamber of Deputies, at Turin, on the 15th, the Minister was asked what steps the Government had taken in consequence of the issuing of a Bando by RADETZKY on the 11th inst., by which the whole population of Milan is called on for an extraordinary contribution, of which neither the amount nor the manner of assessment is stated— such Bando being neither more nor less than an organization of pillage. The Minister of the In terior replied that the Sardinian Government had appealed to the French and English Governments to interfere as the mediating Powers to prevent the Bando of RADETZKY from being carried into effect. The Concordia says, the Municipal Council of Milan has protested against the infamous decree of RADETAKY. It takes its stand on the capitulation, which guaranteed the lives and properties of the citi zens, and an amnesty for the deeds of the revolution. It is said the sums exacted by RADETZEY amount to 100,000 Austrian livres. The Coniemporaneo of Rome, of the 10th, says that the Minister Rossi is in constant amicable cor respondence with the Bourbon Government of Naples to conclude a treaty, but in what sense is not yet known. Letters from Bologna, of the 13th, state that the Pontifical government has at length granted to the legion, of GARIBALDI entrance into its territories, on condition of laying down their arms on entering, but to retake them on their departure. EGYPT. DEATH OF IBRAHIM PACITA. Intelligence reached town yesterday afternoon of the death of IBRAHIM PACIIA from cholera. No particulars are given. The Courrier de Marseilles contains the fol lowing :—" We learn that a telegraphic dispatch was sent off yesterday to the Government, announcing that on th e d a y o f th e d epar t ure o f th e Osiris from Alexandria, IBILAHAM PACHA was at the point of death. This ship received orclEis from the French Consul-General at Alexandria to go to ttre squadron of Admiral BAUDIN and request him ti) send — it — naval - force to Egypt." —A different account waa talked of yesterday in the lob bies of the National Assembly. It was said that news had been received of the death of MEHEMET Am, and that Ina. Alum, immediately after the death of his father, had a..-Luned the reins of government. The semi-official journal, the illondeur du. Soir, of yesterday evening, has nothing more on the subject than the following short letter from Cairo, dated the .sth :—" The health of IBRAUIM I'ACIIA again ex cites serious uneasiness." GERIVIANY AND THE NORTHERN STATES. A US ; :f RI A. VIENNA.—The Hamburgh Borsenhalle of the 18th says—" The fate of MESSENHAUSER appears to be decided. Ile has been tried by court-martial, and has been sentenced to death, and he is to be executed on the 18th. The circumstance of the execution having been deferred three days, made many infer that he would be pardoned, but persons who are better informed are of opinion that the respite merely has reference to the mode of his death, and that he will be shot. " Last night three executions again took place by martial law. Two of the victims were soldiers who had broken their oath ; the other was a burgher from the environs of Vienna, who had been convicted of high treason. " We have no direct communication whatever from Pesth. " General SIMONICII, who was at first reported to have been repulsed from llungary with considerable losses, to the Moravian boundary, has, on the contrary, proceeded as far as Tyrnau. The preparations and equipments against Hungary are on so large a scale, and so very energetic, that there can be no doubt of the issue. The total force, including the 90,000 Austrian troops which are stationed in and near Vienna, the Croatian army, under Generals NUGENT and DAIILEN, the corps under StmoNrcir, and the divisions to be called in from Transylvania, will amount to nearly 220,000 men. The operations against Presburg by the corps d'arnzie on the Leytha, are to commence immediately. " Baron JELLACHICII, to whom the command-in chief has been committed, has not yet left. The Weiner Zeitung publishes an official state ment relating to the affairs of FROISEL, in which it is stated— "That his guilt of assisting in and fostering the armed rebellion against his Majesty's troops had been proved by evidence and confessed by himself ; that the said Julius FrObel had been sentenced by court-martial to be hanged by the neck until death should ensue, but that Prince Windischgratz, in consideration of certain extenuating circumstances, bad granted a full and tree pardon to the said Julius Frobel. FROBRL'S own account of the affair will be found in our report of the proceedings of the German Par liament at Frankfort. It is said that MESSENHAUSER was shot on the morning of the 18th. The intelligence of the events in Berlin has pro duced the most intense excitement in Vienna. AIGNER, the leader of the Academic Legion, has been saved by DonLuorr, this young man having saved him when the people would have slain him on the 13th September, in the bureau of the Minister. The new Ministry is formed as follows ;—.Prints SCHWARTZENBURCIII is President of the Council ; Count STADION, Minister of the Interior ; General DE CORDON, War; M. KRAus, Finance ; M. TIIREN FELDE, Agriculture; M. BRUCK, Commerce. The Ministers of Justice and WOrship are not yet named. FRANKFORT. In the sitting of the German Parliament, of the 17th, the affairs of Austria came under discussion : Giskra moved as urgent:—" The National Assembly resolves to call upon the Imperial Ministry to interfere immediately, and take the measures necessary to secure the promised maintenance of the laws and the defence of personal liberty, especially in opposition to illegal mi litary enrolment, and the pursuit and arrest of obnoxious persons in German Austria." Biedermaun moved that the motion be referred to a committee; the illegality of the proceedings referred to had not been proved. Schmerling regretted that the motion of Giskra now forced him to touch upon a point , which be would willingly have left unmentio❑ed. An Austrian law still existed which authorised the employment of military enrolment as a pu nishment. He did not, therefore, see what the Ministry could do. It could at most only express au earnest wish for the abrogation of the law. This the Ministry hadyosterday MALTA. Accounts have been received from Malta of the 12th. The epidemic which had of late proved so fatal to the soldiers has nearly ceased. The Ameri cans have given up Spezzia as a naval station, and return to their former waters at Mahon. CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) e I The Lord Ch ance ll or heard appeals to-day in his court, the Old Hall, Lincoln's Inn. • ROWLAND V. MORGAN. The arguments in this case were opened yesterday, and resumed this morning. The case came before his Lordship upon a petition of appeal from the judgment of the Vice Chancellor Wigram, pronounced some time since. The question in the case related to the construe- • tion which ought to be put upon a will and codicil made by the late Earl of Abergavenny. The testator, by one of the clauses in his will, gave to his son John, then Lord Nevill, and to his heirs, Earls of Aber gavenny , certa i n plate, jewels, to e held as heir-looms, and by a codicil he gave other articles of value, to be held upon similar terms. The question raised before the Vice-Chancellor Wigram was, whether John, then Lord Nevill, took an absolute interest in the property thus bequeathed or only one for life. The Vice-Chancellor Wigram, alter most elaborate arguments, and taking time to consider the question, decided in favour of John's taking an absolute interest in the whole of the property bequeathed by the will and codicil, and from that judgment the present Earl of Abegavenny appealed, Mr. Bethel], Mr. Leigh, and Mr. Goodeve were heard yesterday for the noble appellant, and The SOLICITOR- GENERAL (with whom are Mr. • Walker, Mr. Humphries, and Mr. Roundell Palmer) proceeded to argue the case this morning in support of the judgment of the court below. A The arguments occupied the whole morning. • na • ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) The further arguments in the part-heard cause of Kirkman v. Booth, in which the bill was filed for an account of the effects of the testator in the cause, Mr. Joseph Kirkman, the late extensive brewer in Broad- , street, St. Giles's, occupied his Lordship the Master of the Rolls the whole morning. VICE-CHANCERY. -(THIS DAY.) (Before the VICE CHANCELLOR Of ENGLAND.) His Honour, after disposing of th e case of Bl agrove v. Hancock, he ar d causes, but nothing of interest oocurred. 'rho Vice-Chancellor Wigram did not ait to-day, and his Honour the Vice-Chancellor Knight Bruce was oc cupied the whole day with motions and bankrupt peti tions, totally devoid of interest. BAIL COURT.—(THIS DAY.) THE MAYORALTY OF CARLISLE. —QUEEN v. DICKSON. • Mr. lisrosvLEs movie' for an information in the nature of a quo warranto, calling upon George Dickson, Esq., to show by what right he had held the office of Mayor of the borough of Carlisle. He made the motion under these circumstances. The gentleman is question was elected from the town council of the borough of Carlisle; but at the time of his election he had ceased to be a councillor, by being disqualified from being a bur gess, under the provisions of the Municipal Corporation Act. The Court was aware that that Act provided that the mayors of corporate boroughs should be elected from 'T the aldermen or councillors, or persons qualified to be : 1 , councillors. That provision was contained in the 49th section, while the 28th section showed who were quell fied and who were disqualified from being aldermen or councillors. In the present case the affidavit stated that at the time, Mr. Dickson was chosen mayor, he had become disqualified to be a councillor. In point of fact he had ceased to be a councillor, and, there. fore, his election as mayor was invalid. Now the 28th section of the Municipal Corporation Act pro vided that no person in holy orders, or a person being the officiating minister of a dissenting congregation should be entitled to be elected a councillor or alderman, nor should any person be elected or be a councillor or alderman who should not be entitled to be on the burgess list. The Court would observe that the lan guage of that provision was peculiar. The words were ; —" Not entitled to be elected or to be a councillor," showing that the objection went, not merely to the dec.. 7. Lion, but absolutely disqualified a person from being a councillor. Such being the law, he would now proceed ' to state the facts of the case. On the sth of Sept. last : 1 „. the overseers of Carli s l e ma d e out t h e b urgess roll for the ensuing year, with the name of Mr. Dickson omitted. Had it been improperly omitted it was the duty of Mr. Dickson, under the 17th section of the Act, to give no tice to the town clerk in writing, claiming to be placed on the burgess roll, and then, when the mayor for the • time being, came to revise the lists, he would allow or disallow the claim. Mr. Dickson, however, made no I f such claim, and the lists were revised and published with- out his name. It was quite clear, therefore, that he had been improperly elected mayor, as he was not upon the burgess roll. The words of the Act, "to be entitled to be on the burgess roll," did not mean a money or property qualification, but that the burgess at the time the roll was made out was in a position to have his name placed on the list. By the 7th of William IV. and the Ist of Victoria, however, it was provided that it shuuld be lawful for any person whose claim should have been rejected by the mayor, to apply to the Queen's Bench for a mandamus to force the mayor to place his name on the list, and if the Court were satisfied of his title, they % had the power to make an order accordingly; but that . " provision only applied to a party whose claim had been .0 rejected, and whose name had been expunged from the list. In this instance no such claim had been made, and he apprehended that at this moment Mr. Dickson was -" 7 t not entitled to be on the burgess list, because there was . no mode by which he could be put there; and not being on the burgess list, he was not qualified to fill the office of councillor, a ld erman , or mayor. , Mr. Justice PATTESON wished to know whether there had been any decision on the words " to be entitled to be on the list." Mr. KNOWLES said the question was discussed in the case of the Queen and Harvey, but not in this shape. There Mr. Harvey was elected an alderman in &memo' her, 1841, but, inasmuch as his name was not in the burgess lists for 1840 and 1841, although he was end - tied to be, his election was considered bad. That ease - Was important, in so far as it showed that being on the list, and not the qualification to be there, gave the title to be elected. Mr. Justice PATTESON—Then you say that the mere omission of his name disqualified Mr. Dickson from being elected to the office of mayor? Mr. KNOWLES said he apprehended it did, while his neglecting to make a claim deprived him of any remedy to be put upon the roll. Mr. Justice PATTESON granted a rule to show cause. SECONDARIES'.—(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Secondary HAWES.) GARDINER V. WILSON. THE " SPREAD " AFTER THE " MILL."—The plaintiff in this action is la licensed victualler, in Long-lane, Smithfield, and defendant is a brother " bung "in the vicinity. The action was brought to recover the sum of 71. 17s. 6d., for meat, drink, &c., &c.; supplied to de fendant. Th e d e f en d ant pleaded that he was not in debted. Mr. DUNCAN appeared for the plaintiff, and stated the facts, from which it appeared, that in August, 1847. the defendant and several of his friends had been down to see a pugilistic exhibition at Woking Common, between H. Walker and Heseltine, and on their return home, they went to plaintiff's house, where defendant ordered dinner for himself and friends, twelve altoge ther. Defendant afterwards said, that if plaintiff would send to his house next day he would pay him; but 40 though repeated application had been made, he had not paid. Henry Barnash was called and said, that he was an artist, in Goodge-street, Tottenham-court-road. •He attended the fight " professionally;" by "professiohally" he meant as second to Walker, who was backed by de fendant. He was not in the habit of "painting" faces with his fists.—(Laughter.) He dined at plaintiff's, and they had several bottles of wine, but he could not tell how many, as they did not keep much of an account towards the latter part of the time. They went in at six in the evening and staid till five in the morning, "smoking, drinking, singing, and chaffing." The score was brought in on a board, and defendant said it was all' right. Witness afterwards heard defendant say to . plaintiff's son, he (defendant) was almost ashamed to see him, as he had not called to se ttl e t h e score, but would do so. John Gardiner was called, and proved the order hay ing been given by defendant, and the promise by him to pay ; and Wm. Gardiner proved that defendant refused to allow any one to pay a share. Mr. HUGHES said the defence was the illegality of the demand. The SECONDARY said the fight and the betting Might be illegal, but the eating and drinking was perfectly legal, unless the dinner was part of a bet. Mr. HUGHES addressed the jury, but did not call wit nesses, and the jury gave a verdict for the full amount claimed.
