For the same reason the petitioners themselves should be indemnified, and the consNuew.;c therefore was that an order must be made that Mr. Phipps should execute the power of attorney, and that he sliculd pay the costs of the petition.

SHERIFF'S COUR7, APRIL 27. DAVIS V. lICTON. This was an action to recover the sum of 131. fls. Gd. alleged to be due to the plaintiff for wages, she having acted as s•:rvart to the defendant. The defendant pleaded not iadebted, and witnesses were called on the part of the plaintiff, who proved that the de fendant, who kept a boarding-house in the neighbourhood of Fitzroy-square, in the year 1834, engaged the plaintiff as a servant, at the sum of three shillings a week, and the plaintiff• remained in the defendant's house for sixteen weeks, when ihe left without receiving any wages; but sub.icqueLtly she returned to the defendant's house, at the same wages as before, and remained till the end cf 1840, the whole time she remained with the defendant, amount ing to 111 weeks, and the plaintiff, having received 31. 101. Gd. since she last left the defendant, the balance remaining was the amount cla;med. The defendant, a French woman, conducted her own defence, and addressed the Jur•, stating thit she had en gaged the plaintiff as servant, but never agreed to give per clay wage=. :The was to board and lodge in her house, and for this she wai to act as servant. The defendant then ca!led her son and daughter, and hey eeposed to having been present when the agreement alluded to by the defendant was made, and that it was al ways understood the plaintiffwas to live with them as ser vant without any wages. The Jury retired, and some time afterwards returned with a verdict for the plaintiff for the wh )1e amount. CLAY V. lIEWZTT. This was an action brought by the pla'ntiff, a surgeon, against the defendant, to recover 101 84. Bd,, the amount of the plain. iff 's bill, for medicine and attendance. It appeared that defendant's mother, who resided next door ti the plaintiff, bed for some time previous to the 27th of April !ast, been in a very bad state of health, and in February tl-e plaintiff was called in to attend her, but in consequence of some misunderstanding that arose be tween the plaintiff and some person in Mrs. Hewett's house, Mr. Gray left off visiting the house, but on the de fendant calling on tive plaintiff', and requesting him again to visit his mother, as he need not be u9der any apprehension as to his bill hieing paid, for he (the defendant) would see is paid himself, the plaintiff again visited Mrs. Ileivitt up to her death, which occurred in April last, since which the plaintiff had seat in his bill to the defendant for the whole amount of his attendance on his mother. The de fendant having called on another surgeon, aqd submitted it to him ; and taking into consideration that the plaintiff only lived next door to Mrs. Hewett, the defendant wrote to the plaintiff, stating that as his mother's income, which was small, was derived from an annuity, out of which nothing could be saved to n:eet her liabilities, but that her fjends would have to dis charge them, he thought that five guineas, together with a sovereign which had been paid him before. would remune rate him for his services; this the plaintiff refused, and in stituted the present action. The Jury found a verdict for the defendant. MARKET INTELLIGENCE ( From the London Mercantile Journal of April 27.)

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. GLOBE.—'The Tory organs are somewhat oremature in celebrating what they caq a triumph in the maj elty of last night on Lord How iek's amendment. No doubt it is a vote of dissent from the Government propos'ti in; and so far it may be regarded as an advantoge to their oppo nents. But when we come to consider what the position of parties upon this question is; and what a division of opinion exists, not amongst Liberals only, but also in the racks of the Opposition, upon the subject—we shall clearly perceive that no Tory triumph has really been gained, and that no party triumph on this questian in deed is possible. The two persons who ccnainly should know best how this matter stands are Lori Hiwiek and Lord Stanley—the former the mover of last night's amend ment, and the latter the original parent of all these Irish propositions. .The firmer distinctly declared that he had no right to expect the support of any organised party, and no hostility towards the. Government. " It was obvious that a settlement was impracticable, if both sides of the House insisted on eaTying out t ) the utmost the!r own peculiar opinions." The latter " was not pre pared ti adopt either the one plan or the other—either the project of Lord Howick, or that of the Government. Lord Stanley merely regards the rival Liberal projects as two " Kilkenny cats," which he wishes to see cat each other up. But there i 3 a third . liilkenny cat in this c ise—namely, his own original measure : and if that of Lord Howick and the Government real) , should finish each other, as he expects, it it quite certain that such a measure as his will not pass by its&f. It is possible that no a:4l.er- Trent may be come to about the franchise ; but it is cm tain that no success will attend the bare and naked scheme of disfranchisement. That would have been the Tory triumph; or the triumph of the Stanley section of Toryism. Fer the split is mere evident than ever in last night's debate. While Lard Stanley said he was not preparel to adopt either the one plan or the other; and that, while his Noble Friend ( Lord Howick) had been very successful ir, ex posing the many faults which attended the plan of the Government, the Noble Lord (Morpeth), on the other bald, had done much is pointing out what would be the defects of bit Noble Friend's plan in detail—Sir R. Peel, on the other hand, is exceedingly complimentary to what he calls the " admirable plan," in some respects, of Lord Howick, and professes himself " not indisposed to consider" its other provisions. Lord Stanley and Sir Robert Peelare clearly on opposite tacks, and their dispositions are not more opposed to Government than they are to each other. C 0 UR I E R. Ministers, it will be seen, had, last night, the astounding majority of 21 recorded against them, on an amendment moved by Lord Howick upon the very first clause of Lord Morpcth'a Irish Registration and Qualifi cation Bill. The object of this amendment suhrtantially appears to he to preserve the rights of property in the county franchise of Ireland, as contradistioguished from the principle of the Government Bill, by which <ccupa• tion and perjury were to be constituted or continued the leading elements of that franchise. The working details of the law by which Lord Howick seeks to accomplish his aim were not very clearly stated by himself, nor much better elucidated by Mr. Charles Wood, by whom the amendment of his noble relative was treated too much in the sense of a verbal alteration of a clause merely, and too little in the light of the asser tion and maintenance of a principle adopted specially in the Reform Bills both for Ireland and England. The first clause of Lcrd Morpath's Bill, alluded to, " di rects the Poor-law Commissioners to certify to the Lord Lieutenant when a Poor-rate shall be established in any county or borough, and upon the Poor-leas Commis sioners so certifying, the Lord Lieutenant to declare that, upon the expiration of one month, this Act shall come into operation, in reference to the poor-rate regu lating the qualification of voters, and upon the expira tion of such calendar month this Act to come into opera tion, and thenceforward no person to be entitled as a freeholder or leaseholder to be registered as a voter for such county, in respect of any freehold or leasehold pro perty in his actual occupation, save as herein specified." To which the amendment of Lord Ho wick is At page 2, line 11, after the words no person,' to omit all the words to the end of the clause, and to insert ' claiming, under any Act or Acts now in force, to bo entitled to be registered, and to vote as a Parliamentary elector for any county, in respect of any freehold or leasehold property in his actual occupation, shall be deemed to have a bene ficial interst therein of the clear yearly value required by such act or acts, except as hereinafter provided." Wo shall content ourselves for the present with refer. ring to the speeches of the mover and seconder for in formation on the somewhat complicated scheme proposed for the regulation of the franchise, and to those of Lord Stanley and Sir Robert Peel for an exposition of the rea rms why, in respect of the general principle, they sup ported the proposition of Lord Howick, whilst at the same time cautiously guarding themselves against compromise with its details. It is not, we declare, as a "party triumph" that we are disposed tohail the decisive m sjority on this occa sion, for it must long have been very evident to all the world that :f the Conservative party had been ambitious of majorities, and ready to accept or achieve them upon the same terms as those consecrated by Whig usage from time immemorial, that is from the time of the first Whig, their opportunities were not few and far between, of almost daily occurrence during the course of sessions past and present. STANDARD.—ANOTHER MINISTERIAL DEFEAT. Ministers were last night again beaten. The disgrace, too, was not a casual one ; it arose upon one of their own mea stares, indeed, upon the trial measure of the Session—Lord Morpeth'e Irish Registration Bill ; and upon the vital principle of that Bill—the question of qualification. The amount of disgrace, too, was considerable and decisive ; for in a House of 566 members, the Adminis tration was left in a minority of twenty-one—a minority which cannot be regarded as otherwise than important by men who have not been ashamed to retain possession of office by majorities of twos and threes. Such a ma jority against Ministers surely justifies the concluding words of Sir Robert Peel's speech, though these words referred to the causes of the disgrace, and not to the disgrace itself, which had not been consums mated wbca the Right Hon. Baronet spoke. " The question," said Sir Robert, " was net whether or no the franchise should be co-extensive with the population ; the question which arose was this, whe ther her Majesty'i Government hod made a provision which entitled them to the public confidence and tho confidence of the House ? And he must say, that the course which they had pursued on the Irish franchise appeared to him to disentitle them to the confi dence of the House as of the country." This view was received by the almost universal cheering of the House, and more effectively ratified afterwards by the vote of the majo rity. The natural inference from this result—for which inference no doubt all must have been more or less prepared by the solemn threats of the Ministers that they would resign upon a defeat—has forced itself upon the minds of the supporters of the Cabinet. The Morning Chronicle has this scorning an article intended to expose the absurdity of the expectation that Lord Melbourne and his colleagues will relin quish place and salary in consequence of their late de feat. This article labours to prove that the ruin of the empire must be the effect of a charge of administration, more P articularly now, when the Conservatives have to a great extent succeeded in conciliating the Chartists. We cannot recogcize the force of such arguments. It seems to us that the conciliation of the only class who have just grounds of complaint, and the only class who threaten the peace of the country, is rather a recommendation of a party to power than otherwise. Our Contemporary is, how ever, we have no doubt, correct in its conclusion, hoe ever mistaken in its premises. We agree in the absurdity of ex pecting Ministers to resign, for reasons which, if they had occurred to the Morning Chronicle, might have enabled it to dispense with its loeg and ingeffious article. Mini sters trill not resign upo❑ a mere disgrace, ht. - cause they love quarter-day, and are familiar with defeat a-id igno miny ; besides, they have still the apology for taking buffets with their salaries, which has availed them for two years—they arc still to guard, like Paladins, the interests of the Ladies of the Bedchamber.

WEDNESD,IY, APRIL 28, 1841. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS, Amer, '27. The Loan CHANCELLOR took his se it on the Woolsack at five o'clock. A message from the Commons brought up several private Bills. STATE OF IRELAND. The Marquis of WESTMEATH said, that. he had this day read, in the usual channels of public information, what was stated to be a letter from the Noble Marquis at the head of the Home Department. But he could not beli ye it to be genuine until he heard the Noble Marquis himself say so. In that letter Of genuine) the Noble Marquis had styled a Roman Catholic priest the " Catholic Rector" of a parish within the dominions of the Protestant Sovereign of these realms, contrary to the constitution and the re cent laws of the land. The Marquis of NORMANBY said that he had seen the publication to which the Noble Marquis opposite referred. He had written a letter, to the effect reported, to the Earl of Ross, but in that letter he had intended to speak of a Roman Catholic priest, and if he used the words " Catholic rector," objected to by the Noble Marquis, he did so only through a mistake.— (" Hear, hear," and a laugh.) He was not aware that he had done so. Indeed, he belloved he had not. But he could only say that if he did, it was through a mistake, for which he was very sorry.—( Ile •r.) He would take that opportunity of making an explanation as to what had fallen on a former night from the Noble Earl Opposite, oho was connected with the King's County. He (the Marquis of Normanby) had stated that Mr. Biddulph had approved of the panel chosen for the Jury to try the persons accused of an attempt to murder hire. Now he (the Noble Mar quis) would read the statements of the gentle man from whom he had derived his information. The Noble Marquis then read a letter from the Solicitor- General of Ireland, affirming that the statement relating to Mr. Beldulph was entirely correct, not only to his own recollection, but to that of all the Counsel engaged in the cause. The Learned Gentleman enclosed letters con firmatory of his statement from those . Counsel and others, to the number of five, named Messrs. Berrick, Black, Gale, and Corbaris. They stated that Mr. Biddulph did actually approve of the Jury sworn at Tullamore, and in such express terms as to say there were only two men upon the Jury whom he would wish not to be on it; yet he was satisfied if a case was made out before them they would find ajust verdict--his only objection to teem was that they were violent politicians. After he had re ad these letters, he did not think it was necessary for him to say one word more in defencs of the Law Officers of the Crown. He would only remind their Lordships that all these incon veniences and waste of time arose out of a motion relative to proceedings in a Court of Justice yet pending. Earl CH ARLE VILL E complained of the want of courtesy on the part of the Noble Marquis ( Normanby) in not having given him notice of his intention to brirg forward the case, however, unpre pared as he war, he trusted their Lordships would allow him to defend himself as best he could. All they wanted was to have the same privileges as the next of kin had in this country, vie., to prosecute the murderers of their rela tion. He had not brought forward the matter on the single case of Mr. Biddulph, but upon general principles, and he illustrated his view by that case, but he bad taken care not to alprOas any opinion of the conduct of the Jury in that case. The Noble Marquis had not been able to contradict his formern g a highevening,. officethat a tthhraete illegalß i bbo nm body,en statementc ew h a( a r' r he ac uo t pf e o r tnho eft oill n t a h s e ih s o e l pane;: d m il ; Mr Biddulph was ignorant of the s j perhaps was every . Magistrate of the county,'except himself(toro ' formation if they Charleville), from whom had received what was offered to them. e men w the Government might have had the 1.2 a e n r elei membees of the Committee of Ribbonme,., they might have been the persons who issue, the order to murder Mr. Biddulph. The Noble Lord then read a letter from that gentleman to himself, impugning the general accuracy of Lord Normanby's statements in this House in reply to the Noble Earl. The Noble Earl said that he had yesterday received a letter from the County of Limerick, which would show their Lordships the peaceful state of that county. The letter stated that a murder bad just been com mitted, and that there had been within a few days two attacks upon the police, wlnse lives were endangered by the violence of the mob who assailed them. He thought it was no more than what was due to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland to state, that he had received a letter from his Excellency, assuring him that in the whole of the mine spondence which had passed lei - taeen them he would find no letter marked " private" or " confidential," and that if he (the Lord Lieutenant) had receive] such a letter no thing could have induced him to make public reference to it. The Earl of WICKLOW wished to bring the House back to the question, which was the exculpation of the law-officers of the Crown. After the letters which had been read, he felt bound to say the Noble Marquis (Normanby) was fully justified in the statements with respect to the case of Mr. Biddulph, with which he bad favoured the House. The Marquis of NORMANBY defended himself from the charge of a want of courtesy, for he had that morning written to the Noble Earl giving him notice of his intention to make the statemcnt.—(Cries of " Hear, hear.") He would not follow the Noble Lord through the various topics introduced by him in his speech, but he appeared to be well prepared with every document necessary for this long speech. Ho would only say that he could not acquiesce in the statement, that there were three Ribbon men on the Jury in Mr. Biddulple's ease. He complained of the publication of the letter to Lord Rosse r but it was moved fur and ordered to be pro duced on a motion made at the request of the Noble Earl biros elf: Earl CHA RLE VILLE said what Lord Rosso complained of was that the Government had not communicated with him when his letter war ordered to be returned to that House. With respect to the note of the Noble Marquis, it gave him no information—" Road, read," from the Marquis of Normanby)—it was very short.—" The Marquis of Normanby presents his compli ments to Earl Charleville, and begs to inform him that he intends to make a statement at the sitting of the House, which Lord Charleville would probably like to be present at." Now had it been " that he would like to hear," he would have thought it was some announcement in consequence of what had taken place in another place. —( Loud laughter.) The Marquis of WESTMEATH thought the letters read by the Noble Marquis fully bore out the statement of Mr. Biddulph. WEST INDIA PACKET STATIONS. The Earl of FALMOUTH. presented several peti tions from places in Cornwall, complaining of the removal of the West India packet from Falmouth to Dartmouth, The Noble Earl spoke at some lcrgth in fa vour of Falmouth as a packet station. There was not in reality the saving of time that had been supposed in the alteration of the lines; for it had not been taken into account in the report of the Commissioners of the Admiralty that there were sixteen miles between Dartmouth and Exeter, which usually occupied an hour and a half in traversing. The Commissioners alleged they had other reasons for the change, but they refrained from stating them. He wished these reasons should be made public. He was persuaded that they would not be found sufficient to justify a removal of the packet station from a port at which it had been established for upwards of two hundred years, to a port which had never before been thought of. He had no personal intetest in the mat ter, as he had no property within eight or tea miles of Falmouth, but he wished to consult the public benefit ; he wished for a fair inquiry into the merits of the whole sub ject. The case was of the utmost importance to the com mercial interest at lsrge. The Noble Eerl then pre sented a petition from Truro, praying for an inquiry into the reasons for removirg the mail-packet from Falmouth. Viscount MELBOURNE said that on the mere pre sentarion cf a petition he believed it would be •unncces sat y for him to enter into any lengthened observations on the subject introduced by the Noble Earl opposite. No doubt considerable interest was felt on the matter in De von ; but after the inquiries of a competent Commissioner, he thought it was the duty of the Government to abide by their decision. Three gentlemen had been appointed to melee a report on the subject, and the Admiralty bad merely acted on their recommendation. It should also be remembered that the packets of the Compa ry were es tablished at Southampton ; and all that the Government did was to order that the mails should be take in at Dartmouth. The Noble Earl had found fault with the Commissioners because they had not reported on the several ports which they had examine) ; but he ( Lord Melbourne) was of opinion they had fully discharged the duty imposed on then by reporting the eteticu they had thought proper to recommend. But, even though Dartmouth were not the best port, he thought their Lordships would not he pre pared to sanctioc airy alteration in are arrangement which had been come to after due inquiry. The Earl of MINTO observed that the arrangement would not effect the packets st,tioned at Falmouth, which would be continued there ; it merely effected an alteration in the place at which the mails should be taken ie. Lord ASHBURTON expressed an opir,ion that Southampton was, on the whole, the most advateageous station. Viscount MELVILLE was surprised that Dartmouth had been selected; he thought it would have been etsy to find some more advantageous station. The Earl of FALMOUTH , after a fe .v words in ex planation, moved for a copy of the Report of the Com missioners appointed to inquire into the port to be selected for the departure and arrival of the West India mails, and a copy of the papers referred to in the Report. —Agreed to.

KET STATION. THE WEST INDIA PA: Mr. FRE S lIFIELD moved for a PP eintment of a and arrival of Select Committee on the port of departtn: the West India mails, to which shall be referf. d the R A e " ports of the Committee appointed by the Lords of ""- miralty to inquire as to the comparative advantages affura , :' by the different ports in the Channel for the West India mail service. He thought he might expect the vote of the Judge Advocate, and he was prepared to hear from him an eloquent speech in support of his motion. It was also quite impossible that he should not have the vote of the Chancellor of the Exchequer. His motion was one fur inquiry, and he would be content to leave the selection of the Committee to the Noble Lord the Secretary for the Colonies, whose connection with Devonshire must render him interested in the subject. Sir C. LEMON seconded the motion. There ap peared to be a determination in the Board of Admiralty to abide by the decision of the Commissioners whatever that decision might be. It struck him that the only ground to come before the House was that there was either something defective in the evidence, or that certain matters lay with out the field of the inquiry of the Commissioners, and the the Government had taken the matter into their own hands Mr. H. BERKEL EY tnought that it was just that the port which should be used for the mail station, should be decided by fair competition. He did not say that Bristol ought, par excellence, to be selected as the port of departure for the Weat Indian mails; if he said so, lie would subject himself to a charge similar to that contained in the old fable of the town be sieged, where every man recommended his own materials as the best. He did not, therefore, recommend Bristol as the best port for the purpose under consideration, but he thought it possessed sufficient advantages to entitle it to bo admitted to a fair competition with Dartmouth or Falmouth. One-sixth of the whole of the West Indian commerce was represented by Bristol. That port, also, was more central than the others mentiored, and it had a supply of coals of the very first quality, and to any extent. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER would state the course which be intended to pursue. Mr. O'CONNELL thought he had a right to be heard first. The question was as to which harbour should be selected. Now, he thought the Shannon had some claim. —(Order, order, and a laugh.) The CHANCELLOR. of the EXCHEQUER said there was scarcely anything more disagreeable to the Go vernment than personal applications of this kind. Fal mouth had been objected to by a large body of persons connected with the West Indies, and Devonport was greatly prCerred. He had not the power of fixing the ports from which the owners of the packets might desire to sail their vessels. They might sail from the port of London, if they pleased.—( Hear, hear.) All he had to do was to select the port at which he would allow the mails to be embarked. The Government had not to take into account the local interests of particular parts of the coun try, but to regard only the general interests of the public. Two gentlemen, Sir James Gordon and a gentleman connected with the Post-office, had bten appointed to ex amine and make inquiries. Their Report had given groat dissatisfaction in some quarters. But, after the fullest in quiry, the Government bad come to the opinion that Dart mouth was the most eligible place within tbn Channel. They could not, consistent with their contract, hkyc made choice c.f Bristol as the packet station. lie opposec; the motion. Mr. MILES supported the motion, and concurred in the observations of his lion. Colleague (Mr. H. Berkeley). Sir H. VIVIAN thought that the Commissioners bad reported in error. Instead of the distance being in favour of Dartmouth, there was actually a diff.irence of one hour in favour of Fa:mouth. It was on account of the mis. takes made by the Commissioners he was desirous of the appointment cf a Committee of inqu'ry, and should support the motion. Lord INGESTRIE thought that the claims of the city of Bristol were deserving of consideration, and that the port of departure ought not to be finally determined on without a Committee of Inquiry. The south of Ire land also had strong claims to be considered in respect to this question-4 Hear. hear)—and it was important for the maintenance of the Union, which he hoped would never be dissolved, that the interests of that country should not be overlooked amitbA the conflicting claims of different parts of England. Mr. J IRVING was understood to say that there was no ground of complaint against the choice made of Dartmouth, and he hoped that if the Cuintnittce was gone into, the result of its inquiries would be to confirm that choice. _ . Mr. O'CONNELL said that there were no parts so eligiLle as those on the South-West coast of Ireland, fir instance, Cork, Valeatia, and lieerlisvon. The advan tages of those ports would be greatly increased by the com pletion of contemplated railwass. The passage from Hali fax, Nova Scotia, to Valentin, in the county of Cork, had been made in seven days, but it could be done regularly in nine days at the furthest. Lord ELIOT thought that th(rc were good grounds for a Committee, and he supported the modon. Mr. HUME said that the Chancellor of the E x . chequer had appeared to him to have taken the best means of avoiding partiality in the selection of a port, and he considereu that a Committee was iinrecessary. He thought a Commission of five would be the best way of settling the question. Lord DUNCAN thought it a most inconvenient ar ranacaAent that the packets should sail trim Southampton and the mails be put on beard at Dartmouth. He also thought a Commi s sion of five would be better than a Com mission of three. Col. SEALE defended the appointment of Dartmouth as a mail station. He was no: afraid of the competition of the port of Dartmouth with any port in the Channel. There was no obstruction or bar in the harbour. It Was tiue that it was nai row, but that constituted the safety of the vessels.—( Loud cries of " Question, question.") Mr. FRESHFIELD replied. After which strangers wer.,l ordered to witheraw, and the House divided— For the motion Against it Majority 4 COURTS OF LAW. Tha SOLICITOR-GENERAL thenmoved for tie ap puintment of a Committee, to consider the expediency of ei eeting a building in the neighbourhood of the Inns of Court for the sittings of the Courts of Law and Equity, in lieu of the present Courts adjoining to Weitminster Hall, with a view to the more si-eedy, convenient, and effectual ad ministratration of justice.—( Hear, hear.) He did not know of any act of gentlemen in the kingdom who were less accustomed to associate than the solicitors. They bak! s übinitt?d to this inconvenient situation of the Courts of Law for many years, and he believed that nothing but its overwhelming inconvenience had induced them to asso ciate to remove it. It might be said they sought the charge fur their own conveaience. It might be so, but the convenience of the solicitor was for the advantage of the client. He was at first oppowd to the proposition, but on further consideration he believed that the arguments against it only required to be stated IA length to expose their fallibility. When the site of the Hou:es of Parlic ment was under consideration, it was stated that it might be advantageously separated from that of the Courts of Law, and he believed it would he found this would be the case. So great was the inconvenience felt at present, tha . Counsel were oblged to postpone tl.e meet iroportaw mattyrs relative to pleading until after Term, when the Courts adjourned to Lincoln's Inn. Moreover, the present Courts mere inconvenient for went of room. When Sir John Soane was desired to design a plan for the Courts of Law, he proposed two plans, with neither of which he was satisfied but the cheapest of which was adopted. much to the aanoyaneo of the architect, who, feel ing his reputation t.) be at stake, petitioned the House of Commons against it, but without SUCCQSF. It was, therefore, not only desirable that the Courts of Law should be removed to a more convenient spot ; but that more convenient Courts should be erected. With respect to the convenience of the situation of the present Courts to those gentlemen who practised before the Houses of Parliament, that practice was confined to very few, and those few were generally almost exclusively engaged in it. It was said it was very convenient to those gentlemen of the law who bad the honour of scats in that House, but such a consideration could scarcely form an item in the list of objections, and it was the general practise of these Gen tie.nen to return ironic after the business of the Courts. Nothing then remained kit those old histo rical associations, which, however laudable, must not he suffered to weigh against the more substantial grounds of public convenience. Many spots had been named and submitted to Mr. Barry, the architect, but it was found that the best was in Lincoln's Inn-fields. Toat, however, was a mater for further consideration, and had better be left to a Committee. Ile submitted this was a question of great importance, and one that from the resp,e tabillty of the to , titioners was well deserving of the conside ration !of the House.—(Hear, hear.) Sir E. \V IL N.lO seanided the motion.—Agreed to. Mr. R. GORDON moved for leave to b ing, in a Bill to make fuit'Arir provision for facilitating and completing the distribu ion and payment of compensation for claims upon the a'oolition of slaverv.—Granted. METROPOLITAN BRIDGES. Sir MATTHEW WOOD presented a petition from the nobility, gentry, bankers, merchants, and other in habitants of the metropolis and its environs, praying the House to adopt some means for opening Waterloo, Southwark, and Vauxhall B:idges, free of to;ls. The Hon. Meml:er then moved for a Select Committee, to take into consideration the several plans for the improve ment of the metropolis, concerning which Reports were made to this House in the years 1536, 1838, 1839, and 1840, together with any other plans for the same object, which they may d( em worthy of consideration ; and also the petitions presented to this House for the purchase of the interosts of the proprietors, of Waterloo, Southwark, and Vauxhall-bridges, in order to their being immediately opened to the use of the public free from toll ; and to re • post their opinion as to the expediency of adopting any of the said imprnvcmcnts, and, also, as to the best means of carrying the same into elfeet.—Granted. CROWN COMMISSIONS. Mr. HUM E moved for a return of the several Com missions issued by virtue of any letters patent of the Crown, under the Great Seal of the United Kingdom of Great 13;itain and Ireland, and under the Seal of the Duchy of Lancaster, since the accession of her present Majesty, distinguishing each class and the amount paid for cacti Commission; stating the several fees and charges constituting such amount; and also stating to whom the said fees arc respectively paid, and what amount to each. Also, an abstract of the number of Commissions of each kind issued in each year, and the aggregate amount of fees and charges received for the same. SEWERS BILL.

GLASGOW, APRIL 23.—The doors of the Court were this morning besieged by crowds of people anxious to ob tain admission to hear the trial of Dennis Doolan and others, accused of murder. At ten o'clock their Lord ships took their seats on the bench. The case having been called, the prisoners, Dennis Hart or Doolan, Pat or Patrick Reddan or Redding, or Redden Eagan, or Aitken, and James Hickie, were placed at the bar, and the Clerk of Court read the indictment, which had been served upon them, and which charged them with having, on Thursday, the 10th of December, ou a wooden bridge erected over that portion of the line of the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway, near to Cross bill, near Bishopbridge, assaulted John Green, then a ganger or superintendent over the labourers employed on the said line, and with an iron poker, and an iron bar or rod,inflictcd several blows on his head and other parts of his body, and felled him to the ground, and repeatedly jumped upon him, and kicked hin;, and otherwise maltreated and abused him, by which his skill: was fractured, and he soon thereafter died, and was thus muidered by the prisoners. The case was fully reported at the time, and created a strong sensation in that part of Scotland. The evidence was very conclusive against the prisoners. The following evidence of the Superintendent of the Railway works, gives a full account of the murder. Two accomplices gave evidence, and a man, in whose house one of the prisoners had been sheltered for three weeks. Francis Rooney, Superintendent of the railway at Cross remember John Green; he was a ganger at Cross hill, and came abort the 7th or Bth of December last. I never hearl of any complaints against Green by the men. I heard Green complain of Doolan th 3 night before• and he desired me to dismiss him. He said the reason wi;v he wanted him dismissed was, that on being complained of for not working, he gave some saucy answers. I live Bishopbridge ; I went home at night, and was at my work about seven in the morning. I went by the line of the railway to Crosshill ; I heard a - noise and bustle among the men about the bridge, and I heard a sort of moan. I ran up to the top of the bridge, to the end next the smithy, and called out " Murder " several times ; it was dark at this time. I saw two men heating another. When I got on th ,: bridge he was on the ground. I continued to call m.„,!er." One of them had a weapon of some kind. He was str:.king with that. I saw the other man once or twice leaping o.: the body of the man that was down. This beating and I:aping' continued fur two or three minutes. I was exhausted by the s „,-niting, and terrified. A man came and took me away to the sn.2 thy. There was no one on t ,':e one that was killed and the bridge but the three men, the other two. The name of the tn." who took me away was Mungo Vane. I did not see the met. leave e..e bridge. I went back to the bridge iii h a man calk° Montgomery, and found a man lying, whom I knew to be Omen, rather to the south side. He was insensible. He never' spoke at all. We carried him into the smithy. He was alive at that time. There were marks of injury about his person. He was all bloody about the head and breast. We sent for a cart to get him taken to the Royal la firmary ; and I went with him myself. He died about three-quarters of a mile from the spot on which he got the beating. I brought the body back to a little store near the smithy. After bringing him back his guar6- chain was seen hanging out, but no watch, I could not speak to the appearance of the men on the bridge, farther than I saw one with a white slop on the outs d !--the ore that was wielding the weapon. I caul(' not say whether he had a hat on, as I was not thinking of th. it dress at the time. The other had a darkish dress, and the one with the white slop was the tallest. It was the man with the dark dress that was jumping. I could not swear that the prisoners were any of the men, tl ere being more than a hundred employed there, all much like each other in ge.- ' neral appearance. I am sure there was no more than three men on the bridge. I heard Cie cry of " mtuder" in a faint voice, as if coming from ti,e man that was moaning. I did not sec any other men near the bridge, but there were mot e than thirty between the bridge and the smithy. There acre about.twenty or thirty men on the bridge as I want up. I did not see any men running away, but there were not so many there when I went up as there were when I was coming. There were some men on the s.;uth side of the bridge also; I did not see them going away. Before I came Lack to the smithy for assistance I had been actu ally upon the bridge at the north end, and then I was s - vcn or e'ght yards from the three men. I then saw no men on the south end ; I was about twenty-five yards from the bridge when I heard the first cry of murder and moaning. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL, said he had to bring the pain ful business with which he had been trusted to a close, and felt that he could not du so without asking at their hands a verdict of guilty against all the prisoners ; and as his Learned Friends on the other side of the bee had stated that they did not intend to address them, he felt that he would be discharging his duty by leaving the case entirely in the bands of the Court. _ Mr. P. ROBERTSON said, on the part of the prisoners , he felt, however painful it was t him, that he discharged his duty, and his Learned Friend concurred with him, by leaving their case with the Court. It would not be of ad vantage to the - prisoners to enter into any analysis of the evidence. It would be for the Court to exami ne th it evi dence, and see whether there was my doubt in favour of any of the prisoners, and give e prisoners entitled to it the benefit of that doubt, Lord INIONCREIFF then charged the Jury. They all, he said, must see that this wes a very serious case, and in all its features a most remarkable cam—few such had occurred during his experience; and the course which the public prosecutor had taken, and the course which had been taken by the Counsel fcr the prisoners, had imposed on him a very serious and import a nt duty in summing up the eviden ce on wilielt they, were to return a verdict. On t he ono han d , there was a very important interest . to the public, con s id er i rg the nature of the ca..e, that Justice might be admi n ister e d according to the truth; o n the Other, he need not tell them that in a charge of murder, such as stated in the in dictment, and in the mariner in which it had been en deavoured to be supported, they must see that there was a r EVENING EDITION. lreadful interest in discharging such an important duty in :ray satd.jactory to fitir own mind. , . It would not be more his dnxiety to discharge that duty with firmness, ' carding to the law of the country, than to deal with these prisoners in perfe.lz feirness. Neither of the Counsel bad addressed them. lie had, the , efore, no choice but to lay before them the whole evidence, according to the notes which he had taken, tv'th as much accuracy and fuloess as possii)lc.. His Lordship, on the law of the case, pointed out two very common delusions : first, that if a party of men sallied forth and waylaid a no th er , and used such weapons as were libelled, merely for the Ir pose of giving him a beating, and they killed hur, that in these eiccumstances they did not commit mur der ; and next, that of an individual who went out with the others, and though he did not lift his hand, if he was cogni ant of tilt it acts, and abetted and en couraged them by his presence, beir g supposed not guilty, art and part, in the proceedings. If he was pre sent, and did not interfere to present it, but, on the other hand, entered into an arrangement by which the deed was to be committed, who could say that he was not art and part guilty ? lie did not say that it applied to any of the prisoners —far from it; tha'. was for the Jury to di t.:rmine on the evidence which had been laid before them. At half-past nine o'clock the Jury retired, and, in about three quarters of an h Jur thereat'. er, returned with their verdict, finding unanirnouly the prisoners Dennis Donlan and Patrick Penliiirg guilty ai iiirolled, and, by a majo rity, finding Janie' lliekie also guilty, not as an actor, but art and part zs libelled, and they unanimously recommended tlir.ro mercy. The prkoner.s were then sentenced to be executed, oil the 14 h fl May, at or ricer Crosshill. The members selected to try the King's County pa tion on Monday are Mr. Craig, Mr. Price, Mr. Haw kins, Mr. R. Palmer, Mr. Bethel', and Mr. Yorke. HENLEY PEERAGE.—The House of Lords, ye,te;clay, decided that Lord Henley had established his claim to vote in the election of Irish Representative Peers. DEAF AND DUMB INSTITUTION.—We have this vie lc the pleasing duty of recording an instance of the triumph of a great principle—the principle of Tolera tion. At a meeting of the friends of the above institu tion in the latter end of February last, it will be recol lected tint the Bishop of the diocese refused to put a resolution nominating on the Committee Dissenting mi- - nisters, members of the Society, on the ground that the motion had not been formally moved and seconded. At the time, we stated !hit the reason alleged ap peared to us strange, the more especially as the other proceedings of the meeting were not by any means conducted in a formal 'manner ; that our Diocesan suffered the names of the lay members of the Committee to be appended to the resolution after its original proposition by the mover; and that subsequently, the Bishop divided a re olution into three distinct parts, and so put it to the meeting. We then pointed out the strong appearance Of a lack of Christian charity in the course pursued, the more especially as the bequest of a Dissenter was the foundation of this very excellent institution. Another meeting of the Society has been held, (P. F. Aiken, Esq., in the Chair,) at which the cbairman stated, that on a former occasion " a committee bad been formed, and somewhat hastily formed, and many excellent friends of the Society bad since regretted the constitution o fthe Committee as then adopted, it being their wish, and the wish of the Committee too, that it should be formed on the most broad and liberal prim ciple." The Chairman then went on to say, that the Bishop's former objection to the motion was only on the score of form—" to the principle of the resolution they now had it from their respected Bishop that be did not object ! They had it from his Lordship that he approved of it, and that he should consider it a most intolerant measure were they to form a Committee ill such a way as not to admit among its members Christians of every denomination." The Rev. J. Hausman then added, that the " proposed change met with the full concurrence of their esteemed diocesan." It is matter of regret that the seeming hesitation on the part of the Bishop at the meeting over which he presided, and tba.. deference of those assembled on that occasion to whet appeared to be his Lordship's feelings, in regard C the resolution in question, should have originated any m i s t a ke, if mistake there were, as to the proceeding. We rejoice , however, at the chage, not because we were the first to disapprove of the course originally pursued, but because it is a triumph of the principles of Christian charity and re' ligious toleration. Deaf persons, and those who are slightly dull "f hearing, and find a difficulty to catch the sound of a distant lO speaker at a public assembly, willfind a most astonishing advantage from the use of the Messrs. S. and B. Solomons' newly.inventec t invisible operative Voice Conductor, which, when fitted into the cavity of the ear is so small, not the least perceptible, nor more un comfortable than having a piece of wool in its place. By this ex traordinary and valuable invention, not only does the hearing he' come acute, but the ears are so much improved by their use, tha t individuals, in a great number of instances, can hear most dis tinctly without them. It will therefore be seen that persons de not incur any constant habit of being compelled at all times to make use of them, and in consequence of the numerous Individnal S having been altogether relieved from deafness, they have become° general use.
