The plaintiff was the engine -keeper of a small town in Suffolk, named Hadleigh, for which office he received 121. a year. The defendant is a tradesman and ratepayer in the town. The plaintiff held the office from 1839 down to the month of August last, when he was dismissed. A meeting was held with respect to the matter in the vestry, at which a person named Ansell was stated by a witness named Lamb to have said, speaking of th e pl a i nt iff; " Si mpson has received v arious sums of money from the fire offices, and has misapplied them, not accounted for them, nor settled the accounts. I therefore consider him an improper person to hold the office. I have seen receipts to the amount of 580/.—l believe 600/. ; but 5801. I'll be sworn to, which Simpson denies having ever received. I therefore consider him an improper and unfit person to fill the office, and he ought to have been dismissed from the office months ago." The speaker turned to the defendant, and asked him if these statements were true, to which he replied, " They are true, perfectly true." It appeared that the plaintiff had been in prison at the suit of the defendant. Mr. Sergeant Allen appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. O'Malley for the defendant. Mr. O ' MALLEY dwelt upon the fact that the plaintiff had brought hi s case to L ondon, instead of hav i ng it p tried in the locality w h ere h e was best known, an d con tended that the wo r d s b e i ng uttered at a public meeting could not be construed i nto express malice, but as words which the defend a nt i n hi s capacity as a ratepayer h a d an undoubted right t o u tt er . Mr. Justice E RIE said th e l aw held t h a t if words were spoken for an honest p urpose that t h ey w ere pri vileged, and could not, th ere f ore, b e constr ued into malice. The words h av i ng b een spo k en a t a public meeting, and by a ratepaye r , who had a perfect right to be present, raised the presumption that they were privileged ; but if they thought the defendant was actuated by malice, and not by an honest and public purpose, they would find their verdict fbr the plaintiff ; if not, for th e d e f en d ant. The jury retur ne d a ver di ct f or th e plaintiff, 401. EXCHEQUER.—(THIS DAY.) (Sittings at Nisi Prius, at Guildhall, before the CHIEF BARON and a Common Jury). RAY AND ANOTHER V. PETERS. In this case the plaintiffs are wine merchants, and the defendant is the landlord and proprietor of the George and Blue Boar Tavern in Holborn. It appeared that the defendant had transactions with the plaintiffs for brandy, sherry, port wine, and other liquors, and some ill-feeling and difference having arisen between them, this action, which was brought to recover in reality only 31. 12s. 10d., was allowed to be brought into court. The original debt claimed by the plaintiffs was 1051. 16s. 1 ld., of which the defendant had paid 1021. 4s. Id. into court, and pleaded never indebted as to the rest. The only question upon which the case turned was whether or not, according to the custom of the trade and the understanniug between the parties, the defendant was to be charged with interest upon the duties which were paid for him by the plaintiffs before raking the liquors in question out of bond. The de fendant denied that he had any right to be so charged, and the sum at issue, therefore, was only 3/. 12s. 10d., the amount of the interest. The CHIE7 BARON, in the course of his summing up, said it had been observed by the counsel for the plain tiffs, on his stating from the bench that it was not right for persons to come into court, and spend a great deal of money, and occupy a great deal of time to recover so small an amount, that every free-born Englishman had a right to go to law if he liked, and that it was an in. vasion of his constitutional right to make any comment upon it. Now, he (his Lordship) considered that every man who merely made the law the rnle of his duty was a very bad citizen, and that a man might undoubtedly be one of the worst members of society if he permitted himself to do all that the law allowed, and did nothing hut what the law compelled him to do. A man might strictly keep within the law, and yet be one of the worst persons crawling on the face of the earth; and if it was to be made the rule of life, it was impossible in that case that the law could reach many matters which it was intended to control. Unless a man's disposition and mind was governed by something like a Christian feeling, and by proper social kindness and benevolence towards those with whom he came in com munication, he could never do his duty either to God or man. But whatever might be the character or disposi tion of the party, there could be no doubt that he was entitled to the benefit of the law —and as he claimed to have that benefit it was his duty to see that it was granted to him. The question fur the jury to consider, was simply whether or not the plaintiffs were entitled to charge interest upon the monies which they paid for duty upon the liquor supplied to the defendant. The jury interrupted his Lordship before the conclu awn of his summing up to tr.Lfmate that they were unanimously of opinion that there ought to be a verdict tor the defendant. Verdict for defendant. SECONDARIES".—(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Secondary Porrin.) CROWN EXTENT.—TILE QUEEN v, NORVILLZ. • This morning a writ of extent was executed before Mr. Secondary Potter. to ascertain of what goods and chattels, &c.. J. Norville, late of No. 40, Cornhill, City, was possessed, within the bailiwick of the Sheriffs of London, liable for the sum of 1,2501. due from him as collector of property and assessed taxes. Mr. Whittle, one of the officers of the city of London, proved the seizure of furniture of the value of 301.; book debts valued at 5001.; and the lease of the house, held at the yearly rent of 250 guineas per annum, and subject to claims for 5371. money lent, and 50/. costs — exclusive of these sums, the lease was valueditt 5/. The CROWN SOLICITOR contended that Mr. Farthing had paid the money as security to the Commissioners of Property Tax, who gave hi m notice of the deficiency, 4631., which he paid, and the bond (for 1,5001.) was cancelled. The Learned SECONDARY said he could not decide the point. A Mr. Barber, who was returned as a debtor for 50/., said he only owed 41. or 51. . The CROWN SOLICITOR said the jury wero not de ciding as to whether the debts were actually due, inquiry would be made. The jury then gave a verdict for 538/. CRIMINAL COUR(ms DAY.) OLD COUR7'.

D Justice m A a ru C I o G IT . s s l , A E N N . 7 ) E THE BERK ( readers will doubtless recollect that of this Court a person of the name at Samuel theMarc session rows was convicted upon an indictment of d h B Nc h E.-our Births Marriages, and Deaths Registrars' Act,un under t f of the Births, making a false statement for the purpose of procuring e a i egistry of marriage between himselt dyoung lady, of the name of Field, who was an a en.itled to property to the extent of 1,100/ a year. At the time of the trial Sir F. Thesi ' er who together with Mr. Clarkson and Mr. Ballantine g wa's counsel for the prisoner objected to the validity of the indictments on two grounds, and the Learned Judges who then presided at this court postponed passing sentence upon the pri soner in order that the objections raised by his counsel might be argued before, and be determined by, the Judges. Those objections having been argued and de cided by the judges the prisoner was placed in the dock this morning to receive the jud gmen t of the Court. As it is now some time since the ease was before the Court, it ' may not be amiss, for the information of our readers, shortly to state the facts upon which the charge and conviction are founded. The indictment had been pre ferred at the suggestion of the Vice-Chancellor Wigram. The defendant Brown lived, in 1840, in Wmipole• street, as a butler, and he contracted a marriage, in 1847, with a female of the name of Esther Field, a girl only 18 years of age. Esther Field was the daughter of a Mr. James Field, of Berkhampstead, bOth her father and moth er were now dead, and she had been loft property to the amount of upwards of 1,100/. a year, and the brother of the defendant was appointed her guardian, together with another person. Upon the death of the father of the young lady an application was made to the Court of Chancery to make her a ward of that . Cuurt, sh e being then only eighteen years of age. While the mat ter was under consideration in that Court the d e f endant induced her to go with him to Trinity Church, m ar yle bone, where they were married, the banns having been previously published in that church. After the celebra tion of the marriage the parties separadted, Esther Field i gong to her friends at Berkhanapstea . IT —Pon its be coming known that the marriag e had taken place, an tip. plication was made to the Vice-Chancellor, who ordered the defendant to be committed for a contem p t of the Court in marrying a ward. A fter this the matter was referred to the Attorney-General: upon . the desire of the Vice-Chancellor, and upon his certificate and with the approval of the Vice-Ch an cellor, proceedings Were instituted. l'he charge against the prisoner , was that for the purpose of evading any detection, and for the , purose of obtaining the celebration of the marHag e he wade a false statement to the olergynaan, to the effect that Esther Field was of fu ll a g e ; that he (th e defend ant) resided at 31, Wimpol e-street, and th at Esther Field also resided in the same s treet, the fact being that Esther Field was then only eighteen years , u of age, a.s. , the defendant 52, and that sh e resided at Ering, and u not in Wimpole-street. Mr. Justice COLTMAN immediately on taking his_.. se this morning proceeded to pass sentence . on the prisoner, and in doing so observed, that the prisoner had been' convicted at the sessions before the last, befor e the Lord Chief Baron and himself, of an offence against the 6th and 7th of Wtu. IV., chap. 86. The substantial part of the charge against the prisoner. was that after th e -- .cele bration of his marriage with his present wife, he kno ingly and falsely made to the clergyman wh o performed the ceremony, a gentleman of the name of Hamilton, several false Matt ments for the purpose of procuring Lt°hn, registration of the marriage. On the behalf o th e prisoner tvro objections were taken to the indictment e DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES, ITAINIBURGIL MAY 16.—A communication received this day from Cuxhaven, by the Commercial Depu tation, states that Captain MEYEa, stationed at Heli goland, in the Danish frigate Gefirn, has received instructions to exempt Lubec vessels from the em bargo. This notification has been confirmed by a letter from a Hamburgh ship captain, who had been taken to Copenhagen. COPENHAGEN, MAY 14.—The number of vessels which have been seized amounts to about eighty, several of which, especially those from Hamburgh, have very valuable cargoes. The ships are now being brought into the harbours. The preliminary con demnation has been established. The law of seques tration is not yet in active force, and, therefore, no ac tual condemnations have taken place. According to the Royal ordonnance of the 29th April, the property which belongs to those nations designated as at war with Denmark will be treated on the same footing. The captains are at liberty to choose their commis sioner here. Neither they nor their crew are subject to any restraints. The captains daily receive four marks, the steersmen three marks, and the sailors one and-a-half marks. COPENHAGEN, MAY 16.—The semi-offical journal, the Berlingsche Zeitung says, that it is untrue that Sweden refuses to interfere in the affair of Schleswig , as is declared by the German papers; on the contrary, Sweden will act in this question in concert with the other Powers, guaranteeing the possession of Schles wig to the Danish Crown ; further, it will immediately come to the aid of the kingdom of Denmark, when ever it is attacked by Germany, without waiting for the decision of the other Powers. The assistance of Sweden gives fresh courage to the belligerent parties, and they do not hesitate to speak of the speedy assist ance of Russia. Report says, that M. VON Lzw- ETZOW, who was sent to St. Petersburgh, has re turned with favourable intelligence, and that the Russian fleet, under the Grand Duke CONSTANTINE, will arrive speedily. SWEDEN, MAY 11.—The Gothenburg ,Handels Zeitung, of Stockholm of the 11th, states that the Grand Duke CONSTANTINE has arrived there, and will immediately proceed to Copenhagen. The ,iftenblud fur Carlskrone, of the 11th, states that orders had been received there for the immediate equipment of several vessels and steamers, which are to be ready to start on the 20th with the frigate Eugenie. The schooner Actio is also to be intim diately fitted out. CIIRISTIANIA, MONDAY, MAY 2.—The day before yesterday commands were received here from the KING, directing that the greatest number of troops which the KING is permitted to sand over the fron- tiers without the concurrence of the Sorthing, 3,000 Norwegian troops, are to join the corps of observation assembled at Schoner ; at the same time a request has been addressed to the Sorthing to make a grant for the armament. RENDSBURG, MAT I.s.—There is nothing new 1 from the scene of war. The ships on the Belt, after the threat of WRANGEL, have been perfectly quiet. The Danes were waiting for the arrival of the Swedes, who, it is said, will come on the 20th. On the 13th Major LASTZOW, who had gone out on a predatory excursion to Aarhuus, with a detachment of Schleswig-Holstein troops, returned with a fort night's provisions of all sorts for 7,000 men. lie likewise brought the Vidame of Aarhuus as a ' hostage for further deliveries, and as a reprisal for the capture of M. VON KROGH. KIEL, MAY 16.—Private letters from Sundermit state that at the dawn of day yesterday 200 more Danes crossed from Alsen ; that the Hanoverian soldiers wanted to make an immediate attack upon them, but were deterred by General HALKETT till the Danes klad kdvanei3a onnsidorai.ily, wm.renpon they were attacked, and nearly all put to death; very few were taken prisoners, and nut one escaped to tell the sad event at Alsen. The immediate reinforcement of the 10th corps to 18,000 men is expected. A letter from his Royal Highness the Prince of Paussia to General WRANGEL ) dated London, May 2, 1848, has been received : " My dear General,—You can easily conceive the ,atisfaction and the deep interest with which I re ceived the intelligence respecting the encounter at Schleswig and Flensburg on the 23d, and the follow ing days. The reports now lying before me bear honourable witness of the valour and perseverance of our troops, who then fought under your guidance for the honour of Germany. The high expectations which I have always cherished of the valorous spirit of our Prussian army have been fully responded to by the troops at Schleswig, and I am proud of hav ing been the commander of the greater part of them in two different divisions of the army during a long series of years. " On this ground, also, I intreat you to assure the officers and soldiers of the troops standing under my command of my entire sympathy, my high esteem, and my sincere congratulations for their gloriously achieved conquest. " To yourself; my dear General, I desire to offer not merely congratulation on this victory, to which our arms are indebted for your judicious arrange ment, but also that it was accorded to you to evidence to the world that atter a period of 33 years of peace the Prussian army is in the highest state of military discipline ; it is the highest evidence of the perfec tion of our military system. Victories are not pur chased without sacrifices, and I look with pain upon the victims. They fell and bled at the call of their King, for the honour of Germany and the glory of the Prussian arms. " Be this their reward ! " Yours very faithfully, " THE PRINCE OF PRUSSIA. " London, May 2." The reply of General VON WRANGEL to the Prince of PRUSSIA is as follows : " May it please your Royal Highness,—l have had the honour to receive your Royal Highness's gracious letter of the 2d of May. I have communicated its contents to the troops under my command. Its receipt filled me with joy and gratitude. The hearty sympathy which you, my royal master, have taken in our victory of the 23d of last month has filled our troops with joy and animation, and I am commissioned by them to express their most respectful thanks. Your Royal Highness's testimony is a fresh call to us to discharge our duties with every devotion. The remembrance of your Royal Highness is warmly and faithfully cherished by the Prussian troops, and we all gratefully acknowledge that by your energetic exertions the discipline of our army was so effectively carried out; that your true martial spirit animated them, a spirit which they displayed so powerfully and so gloriously in the storming of the Danewerke, in the encounter at Schleswig. Your Royal Highness may, at the same time, be graciously assured, that if ever, under the more im portant relations, we should be called upon to take up arms for securing the independence of Germany, the Prussian army would deem it the highest privilege to place itself in full confidence and devotional loyalty under your powerful guidance. And I may be permitted to add, that the Prussians would show themselves worthy of the name of their fathers.

Marriage requires the fulfilment of several conditions. in order Let it may be really the cause of mutual happiness. Could the veil, which covers the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raised, and its true source in every instance disclosed, in how many could it he traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disap pointments. Excesses are always injurious ; the gift, which when ised in moderation Is fraught with advantage, becomes, when ibused. the prolific source of mischief and of greater or less injur) to the constitutional and vital von ers. The particular excesses, on the nature and conseauence of whieh this Treatise professes to dilate, are productive of greater severity of misery to the human frame, than any other to which it is subject. This work contains an accurate and complete account of the Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs, and of their relative conditions in health and disease. It deservedly requires the closest attention and study, for what subject can be of more importance than the preservation of the health and of the physical capabilities of which every man should be possessed. it unfortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired in early life or from the follies of advanced age, while suffering from their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a rear of ap plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread so requently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking or assistance where alone It can be procured. In acting thus, he forgets that accurate discrimination n ascertaining the causes of iisease, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, inva riably characterise the intelligent and practical physician, and to the siedical man who can show by his posse , aion of the requisite legal ivalltications that he is entitled to esteem and respect in his profes sional pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended.

It is amongst the most successful operas in the repertoire of this theatre, and Madame Grisi's vengeful Italian lady, Lucrezia, is universally ad mitted to be one of her finest delineations. Not only is her peculiar style of beauty and matured form admi rably adapted to the part, but the music is equally fitted for her vocal means. There is no one element wanting to complete the dramatic or vocal illusion. To dilate at the present day on its abounding excellencies is un necessary—we have only to say that we have seldom seen her to greater advantage than last night. Mario was the Gennaro; Alboni, Orsini; and Tawburini, Al. fonso. Mario was in charming voice, and Alboni was honoured with a triple encore in the " Brindisi."

From the evidence it appeared that the prisoner or dered the clock on the 19th June of last year, it being understood that he was to pay for it on delivery. When delivered it was retained, and within an hour afterwards pawned at Mr. Russell's, in the Old Kent-road, and the duplicate being afterwards sold, the clock was never delivered, and the present prosecution instituted. The prisoner declaimed loudly against the tyranny of Mr. Charles Pearson, the City Solicitor, by whom, he said, the prosecution had been instituted. The jury returned a verdict of Guilty. Mr. RYLAND, who was retained for the prosecution, then stated that the prosecution had been instituted by the Lord Mayor himself.

A DULTERATION or Foon.—Yesterday, at a meet ng of the Manchester guardians of the poor, it was de termined to appoint a professor of chemistry to the union, to examine the quality of food supplied, and to offer the appointment to Mr. C. Calvert, of the Royal Institution. In submitting a motion to that effect, Mr. Brooks, one of the guardians, said he bad brought the subject forward in February, when Mr. Austin, Assistant Poor-law Commissioner for the district, advised that they should first obtain the sanction of the Poor-law Commissioners, and that sanction had now been given. It would be recollected that he had stated at the time (and a copy of this statement he had sent to the Com missioners) that he had obtained samples of the food supplied to the Manchester union, and that on a che mical analysis it had been found there was a mean depreciation, by adulteration, in food of the value of 12,3581. to the extent of 2,4251. This, he repeated, was the adulteration on articles to the amount of only 12,0001, whilst the total annual expenditure in this way was upwards of 50,0001. per annum; and he looked to this appointment, therefore, as one of very great import ance and value. DARING ROBBERIES.—The public, and especially visitors of the British Museum, are warned that several impudent very street robberies ha ve l ate l y b een com mitted in broad day in that vicinity. N ew O x f ord - street and the west end of Great Russell -street are the parts chiefly infested. Young rascals, with confederates ready to receive plunder or mislead pursuers, stand at the corners of the suspicious -looking streets that con nect or run into these thoroughfares. Seizing a hand kerchief or a watch, they turn the corner in an instant, and are soon lost in a region which still retains its character, notwithstanding the recent improvements. Indeed, we are not sure that the " Rookery" in its pre sent condition is not a more effective arrangement for the capture and disposal of booty than before. We can only remind gentlemen who choose to let their property court the public eye in a gaping coat pocket, and ladies who persist in carrying their watches suspended from gold chains, or pinned to their girdles, that no police can protect them from the fingers of the spoiler. They must either conceal their property, or keep a sharp look out.

The Secretary reported that there are now in the asy lum, at Tottenham, 70 young females, the eldest under 15 years of age, who are fed, clothed, religiously edu cated, and fitted for respectable servitude. It was unanimously resolved that six additional of the most urgent cases be admitted. The asylum, with sufficient support, would afford accommodation for more than 130 its inmat xist es. The soci e ty h as, during the twelve years of eence, caused the suppression of above 300 noto rious houses of ill-fame in various parts of London, and a prosecution is now pending against an individual who keeps his carriage, livery servants, and country houses, and who is the proprietor of 50 houses of an infamous description, principally at the went end. TIIE BRUTAL MURDERS NEAR SWANSEA.-SWAN^ SEA, TUESDAY. —Last evening the Coroner's inquiry relative to the deaths of John Williams and Jenkins Evans, who were brutally murdered on the night of the 7th instant, on the Loughor and Swansea Road, was brought to a conclusion. It will be remembered that five Irish railway navvies introduced themselves to a " erorw bach" (a drinking bout) at the cottage of a man named Davis. One of the navvies quarrelled with a youn g man name d M organ, and bl ows ensue d b etween them. A rush was made to the road, and in the confu sion the deceased, John Williams, was stabbed to the heart, and Jenkins Evans, who was coming up to inquire what Ives the matter, received similar injury, which caused his speedy death. The navvies, five in number, were apprehended, and two of them were admitted to give evidence. Thomas Martin appeared to have stab bed the deceased, Williams; he was seen to strike the unfortunate deceased with a knife, and afterwards ob served, "I am the boy that let the wind through some of them." Jenkins Evans was described to have re ceived his fatal injuries from Michael Leary. The jury returned a verdict, in the case of John Williams, of wilful murder against Thomas Martin as principal, and against Michael Leary and John Norris for aiding and abetting. In that of Jenkins Evans they found a verdict of wilful murder against Michael Leary as principal, and against Thomas Martin and John Norris as accessories. They were removed in custody to take their trial at the ensuing assizes. AMERICAN ICE. An importation of 200 tons weight of ice has taken place by a vessel just arrived from St. John's, New Brunswick, Nth America. The arrival of this parcel of American ice took place at the port of Liverpool. There have been some arrivals of this peculiar article of merchandise from the United States during the present season, and also from more than one of the northern states of Europe, but we are not cognizant of an importation of ice on any former occasion from this British province of North America. THE ELECTRO-TELEGRAPHIC CONVERSER. We learn from the Cumberland Pacquel that the electro t.•le;raph is being laid on the Whitehaven Junction Railway, under the superintendence of; Mr. Little, upon the principle of whose patent the entire apparatus is fitting up. [PRICE SD. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS CITY, QUARTER TO T"REE. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 4,000 bales. American realised 3id. to &id. per lb. The market was very quiet, and the advance of Monday last was entirely lost. There were large arrivals. Rail way Shares were in ,considerable demand, at higher prices. The arrivals of gold from Russia appear likely to cease, a prohibition being said to have been issued against further exports, but there is another instalment this week from St. Petersburg!' by the Rob Roy. The Hamburgh mail of Tuesday has arrived, and brings no cheering information upon the subject of the Danish war. Great preparations were making on both sides, and the circle of hos tilities bids fair speedily to embrace Sweden, and possibly, though not so probably, Russia. The com merce of the Biltic is, for the nonce, quite annihilated as far as the German States are concerned. In the Continental letters, generally, we observe nothing of special importance. The next Bank of France return is looked for with considerable interest, and ere long a fresh loan to the Government is considered inevitable. There are some items of information in the Canada accounts which indicate the prospect of considerable activity ere long in some branches of trade.

AN EXPENSIVE EXPERIMENT WITN THE COTTNIT COURTS ACT.—It may not be generally known that a person can be summoned, by the County Courts Act, to answer a debt from any part of England, provided the debt was contracted in the dist r i c t w h ere t h e p l a i ntiff resides, but if the plaintiff fails to prove his case, tha Commissioner has the power of allowing the defendant his expenses. A case in point occurred in London on Saturday last. Mr. J. G. Shipley, of Jermyn-strest. ilaymarket, summoned Mr. L. T. Gaskill, of this town, to appear before the Commissioner of the Westminster County Court, to answer an alleged debt of 51. its. 64., due to the plaintiff. The defendant was bound to appear personally, or pay the claim. Not, however, Acknow ledging its justness, he oid appear, and a verdict being given In his favour, the Commissioner made an order upon the plaintiff to pay Mr. Gaskill five guineas for hi* expenses, which was of course reluctantly contprteti with. —Liverpool Courier.
