EASTERN NEWS. ram the Supplement to the Malta Times of the 28th of December. " From Alexandria, Dec. 24. " Vice-Admiral Walker Pacha was expected daily. from Constantinople to take charge of the Turkish fleet (but that will depend on whether the Sultan rein states Mehemet Ali in the Pachalic of Egypt.) Th e Bedouin Arabs had became troublesome to persons crossin, the desert ; the Pacha had sent 2,000 cavalry to protect them from insult, and said that if they were not sufficient he would send 10,000 for that purpose, being- - determined to keep open, and facilitate as much as possible, the passage of the India mails and passengers. . _ The report which had prevailed, that Ibrahim Paella had arrived at Gaza with his troops, was not confirmed, the Hydra having brought an account that 'he was at Damascus with 70,000 men, and 30.000 wo men and children, whom he was clothing preparatory to crossing the desert into Egypt. On the 14th inst. at Zakle 5,000 Druses, consisting of men, women, and chil dren, approached the Egyptian army for the purpose of ascertaining the disposition of the troops towards Ibra him Pasha ; an engagement ensued, when every one of the Druses was put to death, includir.g twenty of thtir chiefs who had surrendered. This account was told Capt. Engtedue, of the Great Liverpool, by Mehemet Ali himself. " At Damascus Brehm had put to death many of the most influential inhabitants. Some of his troops Laving exhibited a dissatisfied feeling, he gave them permission to leave, sending them into a large house under which power had been placed, when they were all blown up tv the number of four hundred. The Carys fort was ilying in the harbour of Alexandria. The Hydra arriv e d th ere on the 17th, and left aga ,. n on the 22. d for Marmorice, for the purpose of obtaining leave from Admiral Stopford to convey the Pacha's despatches (which she took on board) to Ibrahim racha, and to convey him to Alexandria, if he should he near the Syrian coast. Too Pacha's steamer Nile, with provisions on board, was ready to proceed to that coast to bring away some of troops, should they be there. " 'rhe Great Liverpool steamer arrived off the har bour last night, and came into the port this morning, having left Alexandria the 24th inst. She brings a mail from India, despafthed from Bombay the Ist inst. by the Cleopatra steamer, which arrived at Suez on the 18th. The Acheron steamer will proceed to-day to Mar seines with that yivct of the India mail to go by that route, and the Great Liverpool will leave to-morrow morning for ( = .;oraltar and England." CHINA. We have received the following intelligence from a quarter from whence authentic information may safely be expected, as we ll on account o f t h e l oca li ty as of the means which we know the writer possesses for assuring it. But as it varies considerably from ail the 'news recently published concerning China, and 43 the writer evidently miscalculates the time neces- Nary for the transmission of intelligence from the north of China to Europe (which barely exaceds three months), we publish it with the reservation of not holding ourselves responsible for its perfect accuracy, though in many points the statements, based upon corn tooe - ciAl returns, are evidently correct : (Facial a PRIVATE CORRESPONDENT AT MOSCOW, DEC. 17.) We Nloscovites, placed, as we are, in the very centre of Russia, and by means of our commercial relations with Kjachta (or Khadchta), the utmost point on the frontiers of our eastern possessions, cannot but receive news from China much later in date than those arriving by way of Bombay And Suez. Letters from Pekin arrive at Kjachta in less than a month, and the mail from Kjachta is regularly for warded to Moscow in 28 days, so that we are enabled to get news front the capitalolthat enormous empire,inferior tu tircurnferenee only to our own, in two months' time, tehile tho.e arriving by way of India will take from four to five months. Now, our latest intelligence from Kjachta, dated abort the middle of last month, speaks of events feuding to impress the whole political and commercial world of Europe with the importance of the Anglo- Indian expedition to those distant countries. The Erie lish, having accomplished the entire occu pation of Chusan, had di-embarked their troops somewhere on the coast of China, where they were making rapid progress ; hence the news, rat/ter unau lbenliealcd, that Pekin itself had fallen into the hands of the foreign invaders. One thing we know with certainty, the taking of a Chinese fleet, con listing of forty-five junks, five of which had rich cargoes, mostly tea, on board ; whether on the Peiho or on the Tun-Ke-Kiang river, our correspondent does not write. Proclamations had been profusely dis eributed among the inhabitants, in which the English announcing their coming, in order to liberate the people from the galling ).oke of the 11.1antehou dynasty, hich is said to be hated by the nation in gene ral. Partial insurrections had broken out in conse quence of these proclamations, and the situation of tha sitilipire was designated as being very critical. This news must be very disastrous for our commercial relations with China. Already the price 'of tea has been raised to 70 roubles bane° per chest of 641h5., and a further advance is xpeeted. In former times, the Chinese were accustomed 'to send their cargoes by sea ; now, for fear of the Britith, all have been sent by land, so that the transports will arrive in March or April, instead of Jasuary, as was formerly the case. List year more teen 100,000 fibroks (chests) of tea were purchased at ; this year not more than 40,000 are ex pected. Our own manufactures will not suffer less by this critical state of things. Our cloths and velveteens will lie in the magazines of Kjachta without being asked far. The annual export of' Russian broad cloth to China war, estimated at more than 40,000 pieces, and the im port of tea at 80,000 or 100,000 fibroks a year. MUTINY ()F THE SPANISH RE- FUGEES IN FRANCE. (From the Gazdte des Tribuntous.) FOIX, JAN. 4.—Last night the gendarmerie and garri son of our town were ordered to take no arms. In the evening it was reported that the Spanish refugees at Pit miers had mutinied and refused to obey the municipal authorities, by whom they had been enjoined to return to Spain and claim the benefit of the amnesty recently pro claimed by the Spanish Government. These reports ware soon confirmed by the arrival of an express at the hotal of the Prefecture from the Sub-Prefect of Panders, Apprising him of the agitation which had manifested itself in that own. At two u'e!ock 3.m., M. P. 1 ,331, oar Prefect, ordered R .. 0 companies of the itiqt regiment of the line and the gendarmes to proceed to Pamiers, arid shorty afterwards the Prefect himself set out for that town. The following is the information I have been able to collect respecting the cause of the disorders which threatened to extend to dttlerent parts of our department. since the Spanish Government has granted to the soldiers of I)on Carlos an amnesty which permits them to return to their country, the French Government resolved not to allow them any supplies after the lit of January last. Every day and hour we see large detachments of these unfortunate wretches enter Foix, who, being left without an asylum or ally resources, abandon the villages in which they are quartered, to come and demand of their chiefs what they have to expect. They will not, they say, return to Spain, because they have no reliance on the amnesty. There is no Government in the country. I , abel is but a child, who can only weep, and has no power to save them from party reactions. A circumstance lately occurred, it is true, which filled them with the hope of returning to their country other wise than as amnestied. A few days ago the SP ani , h Colonel Ribeira, the commander of the depot, assuinbled the officers, and read to them a proclamation which he had just received from Don Carlos, and in Nvhich the Prince thanked them for their loyalty, advised them to place their trust is, fiod, and held out to them a hope that better times would come to favour their holy cause. In this circular the Prince declares that he will never content to the marriage of his For, with Queen Isabel. After receiving communi tiaiio,l/4 this address, the refugee;, at the suggestion of Colonel Ribeira, refl.:wed their oath of fidelity to their outereign, Don Carlos. Amidst these agitations, our population lives in constant fears. Our department, already so poor, and at this mo ment covered with two feet of snow, is crowded with our Traaspvrenean neighbaurs. Whole caravans travel from wise vryllage to another, and, having no means of subsistence, are hliged to take to maurauding. Quarrels and angry altereatitos frequently occur, bet our peasants arc gener ous, and have pity on the sufferings of these poor crea tures. The men received, until the Ist of January, a 114i1Y nn"ftnce of 43 centimes (W.), and the women and children 20 centimes (21.) This pittance, however in adequate,had the etiset at least of saving us from their too frequent importunities, but now that it is suppressed they will again begin to maraud, and perhaps to rob, and then !eery can be no security for our inhabitants. At the moment I write groups of 12 and 15 refugees, soldiers, old men, women, and children, traverse the streets, begging for a morsel of bread. They are nearly naked arid famishing-. What a re we to do ? We cannot refuse then, and still the charity of the people of Foix cannot maintain thousands of persons. lust Ad 1 was going to close my l etter, I heard that the . Prefect 11:1(1 COlll2 b ask from Pamiers. His firm and per suasive latif.,•tiage had calmed the irritati-m which prevailed among the Spaniards, and he succeeded in inducing them n.t out for Spain without having recourse to milit. , ry force. They are to enter by Catalonia. A n escort of the 1611, R 'gin - lent will accompany them as far as Perpignan. Tu r.

I CORONER'S INQUEST on SAMUEL SCOTT, THE AMERICAN DIVER, Yesterday evening an inquest was held on the body of this unfortunate man, before Mr. GILL, the Coroner for Westminster, and a respectable jury, in the Board-room of Charing-cross Hospital. The melancholy incident having been the talk of the whole town, the interest to ascertain, if possible, the minutest circumstances attending the accident, was intense. The proceedings throughout were conducted ►iith the greatest propriety, measures having been taken by the authorities at the hospital to admit no more persons than the Board-room could conve niently contain. . The jury having been sworn, proceeded to view the body. The appearance presented nothing remarkable. There were no marks of strangulation, nor any con tusions. The skin was not in the slightest degree dis coloured. Ho was of the middle size, and of a strong muscular frame. The first witness examined was Samuel Rutherford, policeman 7 F. He stated that about half-past two on Monday afternoon he was proceeding along the Strand, when he saw a number of persons going towards Waterloo bridge. In a few minutes he saw the deceased, Scutt, come up to the bridge, with a rope twisted in the form of braces round his shoulders. He stood on the bridge for a few minutes. tie then ascended the scaffold, con sisting of two upright poles, and three cross poles. This was erected upon the second arch from the Strand, and on the east side of the bridge. He went from one pole to another, and shook it as if to see whether it w.is substantial or not. He (witness) was on the bridge, but he was not near enough to him to see whether he was sober or not at that time. The handkerchief he held in his hand was round deceased's head. Between 2,000 and 3,000 persons were on the bridge within sight of him. H 3 ascended the left aide pole, and tied the handkerchief to it, like a flag. He then came down upon the cross-pole, and looked at the water, shook his head and smiled, as if at the ice in the river. lie had no ladder. lie appeared to do it with great ease. The highest cross-pole might be twenty feet above the pavement of the bridge. He then tied the rope which he (witness) now produced to the upper cross-pole, end thereto his body. The poles were placed at such distances that he could stand on one end and rest his head on the other. Having attached the rope firmly to one of the cross-poles, he made a sort of noose. After this, ha took hold of the rope with his right hand, and made a jump from the second pole as if he was going to leap into the water, and shortly after swung himself round, and by the strength of his arm recovered his former position. Having Icesened the rope from his body, he immediately made another noose, crossed the top pole, and put his feet into:it. The noose was then drawn tight, and deceased remained dangling in the air, with his head downward, for above half a minute, after which he again threw himself up, loosened the noose, and freed his feet. To that succeeded several other specimens of his agility, and at last h• began to entertain the spectators by putting the noose round his neck, and letting himself gently down from the cross-pole. It appeared to be his intention to show the public the symptoms of a man who was dying from strangulation. The last time he attempted this, he adjusted the noose round his neck and let himself gently down, as he had just done before ; but, hanging for five or six minutes motionless, and his face becoming changed from its natural colour, a man in the crowd called out to him. Receiving no answer, he jumped upon one of the poles, and lifted one of deceased's arms, which instantly falling down again, he exclaimed Tire man's dead." Inspector Musgrave wished to take him down instantly ; but the mob set up a shout of laugh ter, some of them saying that he had often hung longer than that, and they seemed to think that was only a trick. The inspector, however, kept his resolution, and lost not a moment in having Scott cut down. The rope was then loosened from deceased's neck with some difficulty. His tongue protruded from his mouth, and his face ap peared quite black. His eyes were partly open. Several medical gentlemen were soon on the spot. An effort was made to bleed him in the right arm, but only a few drops of blood issued. He seemed quite dead. He was then placed in a cart and conveyed to Charing cross Hospital. By the Jury—Witness thought deceased came on the bridge through the great gate, in a cart, accompanied by a great mob. He (witness) did not observe any cravat or handkerchief round deceased's neck. His shirt-collar was hanging down at the neck like a sailor's. There was a man with a tin box going about all the time deceased was amusing the crowd, to collect money for his benefit. Francis Godfrey, proprietor of the White Lion, 118, Drury-lane—l fist saw Scott about two months ago on the river. He said he wanted to jump from Waterloo bridge. Three or four days afterwards he came and asked me it there was water enough to do it, and whether they, the Bridge Company, would allow him to do it and pay him any thing for jumping. I said I would inquire of the Directors, and I went to a gentleman at their office. He said he could not give any permission, as it lay with the Committee, who did not meet beforethc 13th instant, I then received the following letter from Scott. The letter was hero put in, and was as follows : " London, January 4, 1841. . . " Sir,—l now take the opportunity of writing these few lines to you, stating that i am willing to come to Waterloo-bridge and have a scaffold put up on the bridge, to convince you what i can go through with. iam really at your command at any time, as likewise any performinse in the water, and so I will pleaFe any body that comes to see me. Sir, if you want me at any time iam at your command.—Sir, i remain yours, " S. SCOTT. " Sir, please to write to Mr. Scott, at Mr. Spark's, Bar,kside, near the Iran Bridge, Rose and Bell. Sir, please to write soon : it it won't do i will go to Blackwall." Examination continued—l went after the receipt o f this letter to an officer of the Bridge Company, and he said it might be dangerous, and he would give no permission. I told Scott this, who said he had had money made him a present by the Southwark-bridge Company, and thought it likely the Waterloo-bridge people would do the same. I saw him again on Monday, the scaffold having been erected. We were never interfered with in taking the scaffold on to the bridge. I paid 3d. for the truck to carry it in. The deceased put his things on in my house. Ile was very powerful ; about 5 feet 7 inches high, and 1 27 years of age. When be was destroying a pair of trousers by cutting them with a penknife, be said he did it to convince the people he wore neither quicksilver nor India rubber. At the time I remarked that I should like them for the British Museum. By the Jury—l never laid a wager with any one that he would hang himself in time. He was perfectly sober when he came to my house, and all he had to drink was the third of a quartern of gin and some cold water. To the best of my belief, if he had made the knot as he intended he never would have died. I wanted him not to suspend himself, but he would have his own way. Henry Hancock, surgeon, sworn, said, at a quarter be fore three o'clock on Monday a gentleman came into the hospital and said that a man had just hung himself at Waterloo-bridge. I requested a surgeon to go and see what was the matter. Deceased was brought in at three o'clock, quite dead. _ Dr. Golding.—Mr. Shead, my colleague, and Dr. Chowne examined him, and wo did everything we could. I opened his jugular vein, stimulating embrocations were applied to cliff:rent parts of his body ; he was placed in a vva.rn bath, and electrified; in fact, everything was don , !, our efforts being kept up for an hour and a half. The ar. teries were openet.l, and he lost about half a pint of blood. There were the marks of two ropes round his neck. I have no doubt his death was caused by suffocation. We inflated the lungs with air. Mr. Powell, a gentleman holding the situation of sur veyor to the Waterloo-bridge Company, said I am the person whom the witness Godfrey alludes to. The jury must see that the Bridge Committee were in no way to blame : indeed, it would be found that, by Godfrey's evi dence, they were quite exculpated. He (Mr. Powell) had undertaken to dissuade Godfrey not to undertake any such thing. No officer, Director, or Proprietor, ever did, or ever would have suffered such a thing-; and his object was to disabuse the public mind of the idea that the bridge officers had in any way sanctioned the exhibition, Ile (Mr. Powell) came on Monday, and found the scaffold up. and a large crowd of persons. He would then • have had the scaffold removed, but he was dissuaded by a gentle man, who said there would be a disturbance if it were interfered with, and that this man had done it often enough and would not hurt himself. A juror said it was strange nobody interfered with the scaffold. How did it get through the toll-gate to the bridge? Mr. Powell said atoll•colleetor told him that a lame man had informed him that leave had been given by tbcDirectors. A juror said it was a very lax way of doing business if anybody, by saying what was not true, might take any thing on the bridge. Some of the parties . connected with the bridge must have seen the scaffolding. The CORONER s,id he should have thought some hun dreds might have seen it, especially as it was there all day on Sunday. Mr. Powell represented that the Bridge Committee had never authorised such proceedings. They knew nothing of them, nor did he. The man had exhibited at a hun dred places, and continually in London within the last six weeks. He might hive lost his life at one place as well as at another, but still he had no authority from the Bridge Company to perform there. The jury, alter a short discussion, retired to consider their verdict ; and, after the absenc e of a quarter of an hour, returned, and said their verdict was " Accidental Death." A Juror—lt was by a show of hands. 13 that legal ? CORONER—Oh yes ; twelve would be sufficient. Another Juror—Four of us were n o t opposed to that v but we were inclined to psi a stro ng censure to ae e c rciic onip t ! iny that verdict. TILE HALIFAX AND BOSTON MAIL STEAM SHIP ACADIA.—The latest advicos from Boston at New York up to noon on the 12th ult. state that the Acadia, which left Liverpool on the 4th of December, had not ar rived w 130.,t0n at four r. at. on the 18th, which leaves her out 14 days.

WESTWOOD, IN PIIINCES-STREHT.—A paragraph has during the past week gone the round of the daily paper=, stating that at length a clue has been obtained to the discovery of the murderer of the late unfortunate 31r.

We have been glad to see our weekly Contemporaries lately showing some tendency to assign a foremost place to questions of practical and fiscal economy. We no ticed last week the Spectator's useful abridgment of the Report on Import Duties ; and the Examiner has had one or two able articles on a branch of the same subject —thc Reports of the Select Committees of both Houses on the Petition of the East India Company. AV edo not mind the slight infusion of bitters in either Con temporary. The best friends of the Government must be most desirous that subjects of this kind should be forad on them by the utmost possible " pressure from with out." The Penny Postage was in this manner pressed upon official adoption. No measure has added more justly to the popularity of the present Government. Yet no Government could well have been expected to effect such a change, without the previous sanction of a strongly announced public opinion. There is another reason why official strongholds must be stormed with big blue books, and the contents of those books, used as ma teriel for incessant assaults on them on these subjects— and this is, that the thoughts and attention of men in office are too much divided betwixt mere official routine and mere petty warfare. They have little time or energy loft for any thing else. The sole remedy fur what is otherwise remediless in this land of faction, is, that the public should inform itself on its own material and substantial interests; and they will soon make parties and Ministers wage their offen sive and defensive warfare on that field. A popu lar Chamber of Legislature (whatever the elective franchise) can never lag far behind an informed and awakened public. If Parliament waste time in the mere contests of faction, the fault must partly be in the public, amongst whom fictions can find auditors. The moment the demand for other topics is manifest, the supply will follow. Symptoms of this are already visible, and oddly enough—some of them in the Lords. Tne Lords' Committee on the India Petition have made a Report, ascribed to Lord Ellenborough, which puts forth just and enlightened views on Colonial policy— " That no partial favour should grant to one colony any advantage over another, either in colonial ports or in those of the United Kingdom ; still less that Parlia ment should partially secure for the produce and manu factures of the United Kingdom any advantage in any colonial port over the competing produce and manufac tures of its own dependencies." This is a new and notable start of hereditary wisdom ; though of course it will find no favour in the eyes of the Standard. (From the Standard.) The excellent speech of the Hon. Mr. Smythe, at Canterbury, has plainly told—the Morning Chronicle makes it the subject of an angry article this morning. Our Contemporary commences its critici,m by an attack upon the city of Canterbury, which we suppose will be appreciated by the voters of that ancient city at the ensu ing election, and proceeds to fall foul of the Conservative party and the Conservative press, deviating rather widely from the truth in reference to the latter. The misreported speech of Mr. Bradshaw supplies the pretext for both in vectives. Now, with reference to that speech, Mr. Brad shaw has distinctly :disavowed it, and this is generally considered enough among gentlemen when even the most delicate point of honour is concerned ; but Mr. Bradshaw has not merely disavowed the speech, and denied that he ever entertained the sentiments which it has been interpreted as ascribing to him—he hss ex pressed regret that any language of his could bear such misinterpretation ; and it is to be remembered that this disavowal, this denial, and this expression of regret, were not in any way extorted, or even solicited from the Honourable Member for Canterbury, but came from him as his own spontaneous act. This would be something more than enough among gentle men ; however, the Morning Chronicle writes for those who are not gentlemen. Be it so ; our Contem porary at least writes in England, and therefore writes for just and honourable men. Now, will any just and honourable man so far trust to the hearsay of a I reporter—who may have been mistaken, and wh o h as acknowledged, we believe, that he was mistaken— , against the testimony of a gentleman of unimpeached honour and veracity, who certainly must know better what he said than the reporter of his specch, and against the testimony of all the other hearers ? There might be more difficulty in following the general rale of evi dence, if the words imputed to the speaker were so clear and unequivocal, and so criminal in substance, as to leave no choice between the conviction on the one side that they were spoken as reported, or the other, that the reporter was guilty of wilful misrepresentation. Such, however, is not the case of the speech erroneously ascribed to Mr. Bradshaw : take away some impropriety of style and manner, and there was nothing in it which any Englishman ought to be ashamed or afraid to say, under the like circumstances. (From the Courier.) What arc the public to think of the disgusting hy•• pocrisy with which ignorance was feigned of the actual position of Frost and his companions, and of the mode in which they had been dealt with by the Governor ? It is clearly a shabby attempt to fix the responsibility of this promotion and premium for crime upon that officer in case of need, and accordingly we shall be amused in Parliament, when the case is brought forward, with a long yarn about the doctor's certificate of good con duct on the voyage out, which led Sir John Franklin, in the innocence of his heart, to conceive the convicts worthy of a better fate, and to patronize them accord ingly, when all the while Sir John was acting only upon a foregone conclusion, and in pursuance of abso lute, however private, orders from his superiors at home. It is unhappily the besetting sin of Lord John Rus sell's character, as of the acts of his Administration, that between the straightforward and the tortuous course he is too often seen to elect the latter, and to prefer rather to accomplish ends . by the little arts of cunning and stratagem than by s tlie fearless frankness of a statesman who has • weighed causes and conse quences, and is prepared mantis ly to justify and accept the responsibility for what he has conscientiously re solved upon, whatever the risk of censure or the odium contingent. We are not disposed to enact the part so common and congenial with the office and habits of the Whig Attorney-General,. that is; to argue in aggrava vation of the punishment of Frost and his unhappy as sociates ; but neither arc we insensible of the:perilous affront to loyalty, justice, and public morals, when crime, and that of the deepest die in every shade known to the Constitution, is not alone permitted to es cape its condign penalty, in one part of the empire out raged, but in another part exalted with honorary;if not lucrative marks of distinction above classes of crime and criminals around of much more pardonable and lower degrees of enormity. For it cannot be forgotten that the crimes of which Frost and his co-mates stemd attaintcd were, not high treason alone, but treason and murder. On their heads lie all the blood shed at Newport, besides the sin of levying war against the Sovereign and comp as sing the overthrow of the institu tions of their country. RUMOURED DREADFUL ACCIDENT. UPWARDS OF ONE HUNDRED LIVES LOST. Rumours hare been prevalent in this neighbourhood that on Monday last a most serious calamity happened on Whittlesey Mere—the ice breaking, and, it is said, upward s ut a hundred lives being lost. From inquiries we have made, we have reason to fear this rumour is not without foundation, though various reports still continue.—Cumb, idgc Advertiser of this day. LAW INTELLIGENCE. _ - - COURT' OF QUEEN'S BENCH, .14X. 12. (Sittings in Banco.) TIIR HVERN V. FM,!. AND OTHERS. In this case a rule had been obtained before Mr. Justice Paterson, calling upon the prosecutors to show cause why an order of Lord Abinger, for entering up the postea, should not he rescinded. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, with whom WAR Sir W. Fou.Err, now appeared to show cause against the rule The matter or:p lated in the election for over a:ers and churchwarden; for the pari s h o f L ambeth, in Haitcr, 1839. On that occasion Dr. Doyley, the Rector, presided, and he conducted it according to - the usual and fetal manner. A poll being domanded, he directed that it should be tAten in the porchea of the church, but a certain party decided that the poii should take place im mediately. The poll, however, took place as tha Rector had directed, but it was conducted vet-) irregularly, and at the conclusion a scrutiny was de manded. Dr. Doyley granted the scrutiny, and required the churchwardens, overseers, and collectors to produce their books, so that it might be ascertained who were en titled to vote, and how many votes they had under Sturges Bourne's Act. They refused to do so, and an application was made to the Court of Queen's Bench for a mandamus to compel them to do so. The mandamus was not obeyed, but a return was made, stating that Dr. Doyley had not properly conducted the election, and that they were not bound under the circumstances to produce the books. There was a traverse to that return, and it came on for trial before Lord Abinger at the Spring Assizes for Sur rey, and under his Lordship's direction there was a verdict for the Crown on all the issues. An application was made by the defendants for a new trial, but the rule was dis charged. The parties then proceeded to tax the costs of the prosecution, when Sir F. Pollock applied to reverse the Master's taxation, and among other objections, it was stated that no damages had been awarded by the Jury at the trial of the cause. A summons was taken out before Lord Abinger for the purpose of entering up the postca, and that Learned Judge acting, as he understood, in the discharge of his duty, in carrying into effect the verdict of the Jury, directed that the postea s h ou ld b e entere d up for the plaintiff on all the issues, with nominal damages. The Learned Counsel proceeded at some length to contend that the Court could not interfere in the case, insomuch za the order of the Learned Judge did nothing which was contrary to the intention of the Jury, and that the act was no exercise of irresponsible power, but a matter of course. Sir F. Pou.ocx and Mr. HATES were heard in support of the rule. The arguments were directed principally to show that the order of Lord Abinger was an interference with the province of the Jury, which it was the duty of the Court to put a stop to. The Court deferred judgment. TER QUEEN V. THE CORPORATION OP LEEDS. Mr. ADD!RON moved in this ease for a mandamus di rected to the Mayor and Aldermen of the Borough of Leeds, commanding them to receive the vote of Radiord Potts; to admit him as a coun cillor ic ted. It a of the p borough,peared fromto which office he had been duly e e the statement of the Learned Counsel that the borough was divided into wards, and that Mr. Potts. with three others, were candidates for Milihill ward. The election took place on the 2d November, arid the Alderman, before whom the election was held, declared Howard and Potts duly elected, but subsequently, in the evening, be made another declaration that Howard and Richardson (another of the candidates) had been duly elected. lie had some doubt, whether, in a case like the present, he should more for a mandamus or a quo warranto, to be directed to Richardson, calling upon him to show by what authority he exercised the office of councillor. Lord DENAIAN having intimated that the latter course would be the more judicious, a rule nisi for a quo warranto was prayed for and granted. ASSIGNEES OF MORTON V. TILE G6EAT WESTERN RAILWAY COMPANY. The COURT gave judgment in this ease, in which the question was, whether Horton, who was a contractor for making a tunnel at Boxhill, in Wilts, had committed an act of bankruptcy on a certain day, the evidence on thw point being a letter written by Horton, in which he stated, " lam now in London to avoid two writs." The Court was of opinion that the letter had been properly received in evidence, and their judgment must be for the plaintiffs. The rule, therefore, must be discharged, subject to an al lowance for such articles and materials as had been pur chased by the defendants after the bankruptcy. IN THE MATTER CF " TAE DON." The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, moved for a prohibition to the Admiralty Court in a case in which he thought the Judge had exceeded his jurisdiction. It was a case of colli,ion between two vessels, the Tiber and the Don, and tho latter being in fault, was seize,l and sold, but the proceeds not being sufficient to pay the (damage, the Judge ordered the costs to be awarded personally against the owners, which, it wn contended, was an excess of juris diction. The COURT granted the rule. AUSINESS OF THE COURT. Lord DerimAN said the Court would take the special paper on Tuesdays and Fridays, and the Crown Paper on Wednesdays and Saturdays. On the other days they would go through the bar, calling for motions, and then take the new trial paper. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Ja.v. 12. FEES OF ARBITRATORS IN REFERENCE•-- DORSET V. GINGER, This was an action for hay sold and delivered, in which the matters in dispute were referred to two hay salestrien, and a solicitor named Galley. These refused to publish their award until they were paid their fees, at the rate of three guineas a-day for each of the arbitrators, and costs of drawing and engrossing the award, and other alleged separate professional services in the reference, on the part of Galley, amounting to 111. 16a. The plaintiffs having paid the money, and obtained the award of 5001., insisted upon taxing the costs of the arbitrators. The Master pronounced the charges to be exorbitant, and reduced them from 451. to 181. They refused to return the &EL.- rence ; and the Solicitor-General last term obtained a rule nisi to compel them to do so. Mr. Sergeant STEPHEN now showed cause against the rule, contending that the charges were reasonable, and that the award having been published and enforced, the damages (5001.) having been paid, none of the parties (especially not the arbitrators) were now before the Court, so as to enable the Court to disturb the award or any p irt of it. It would hive been the proper course for the plain tiff to have brought an action against th arbitrators to compel them to award. The SOLICITOR. G ENERAL replied that the charges, es pecially that of three guineas per day of three hours, for the seniccs of hay salesmen in a simple case of hay dea!ing, were exorbitant, and contended that although in all other respects, as between plaintiff and defendant, the cause was at an end, yet the arbitrators, by disobedience of the Mas ter's order, cor.tinued within the rules of the Court, and were rightly brought before it by the present application. Arbitrators and all persons undertaking to carry into effect a rule of the Court were, to all intelits and purposes the " we will not g i ve you our award until you officers of the Court to that extent, and were amenable to its jurisdiction. The Court would ther e f o r e no t p erm i t them to say pay us mere than the officer of the Court for that purpose appointed directs us to receive." Nor when they had re ceived it would their Lordships allow them to retain it in contempt of the Master. The LORD Clime JUSTICE said that as this was a new case, and it was an important question whether the Court had the jurisdiction or not, their Lordships wished to look over the affidavits before they gave judgment. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, .1.1 N. 1 lIARRISON V. WAIINF.FORD. Mr. H t . mlitar appeared on behalf of the plaintiff to show cause against a rule obtz,ined by Sir F. Pollock for setting aside a verdict for the plaintiff on the ground of collusion. The plaintiff was a servant o f t h e W est C or k Mining Company, and not being abl e to obtain attti salary was c o mp e lled to bring his action agai ns t t h e defendant, who was one of the Directors of tl.e Company ; the action was tried before Mr. Baron Alderson, and the jury found for the plaintiff, but the Learned Judge suggested that it was no use harrassing the defendant, for the Court bad already decided that the Directors were not personally liable. Because he had acted upon that suggestion the Directors of the Company now estate before tle Court, and charged the plaintiff w i th obtaining bib verdict, by colluding . with the defendant. That state ment was strongly denied by tho affidavit of the plain.iff. The trial took place in November. 1839, and the Directors only came to the Court now, being upwards of a year; he apprehended that that was too late, arid that the (spurt would discharge the rule with costs. Mr. BAOLRY appeared on the part of the defendant, 10.:f personally did not care whether the verdict stood or not, but he was most anxious that the charge of collusion should be wiped away. lie denied it strongly, and trusted that the Court would so decide the case as to save him from further trouble or costs, with respect to the West Cork Mining Company, with which he now had nothing to do. Sir F. Poi.i.ocK, in support of the rule, said the parties for whom he appeared had bier, seeking redress in the Court of Chancery. which accounted for the delay in mak ing the motion. Heyvould ask, if there was no collusion, why it was that the defendant had not at once given no tice of the action to the solicitor of the Company ? Upon a suggestion from the Court, all incters in dif ference between the parties were proposed to be referred to a gentleman at the bar, and the matter was ordered to stand over for a week. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Jax. 12 IN THE MATTISS or RALPH BENSON, ESQ. The petitioner in this case, who bad been Member of Parliament for Stafford for a number of years, appeared on his petition, from the Queen's Bench prison, praying to be discharged under the Act. He was opposed Isy Mr. Nichols on the part of Mr. A'Beckett, solicitor, in Golden square ; Mr. Cooke and Mr. Woodrofre supported the ap. plication on the part of Mr. Bereion. The insolvency was ascribed by Mr. Bensor on his pro ceedings to the expenses he bad incurred in three con tested elections, two for Stafford and one for Bridgnorth, to losses on underwriting, law e xpenses, end other ex penses, which lie set forth. The debts in the aggregate were 76,032/. 12s. Bi, of which sum 22,1141/. 15.4. Id. were without consideration, leaving the bona fide claims from the year 1 820,amounting to 5:1,8401. 17s. 7d. There were no d e bt s ow i ng to Mr. R em ota, but he detailed in the s c h e d u l e hi s various estates, an d the incum bailees he h a d created on t h e m. Amcng the items stated wa s one i n the year 1820 of 11,0001., as paid for debts c on t racte d on two conteste d e l ec ti ons , one f o r Stafford and the other for Bridgnorth. There was another item in 1125 of 5,5001., as having been paidlfor the ex penses of a contested election for Stafford. The descrip. tion was of Wenlo c k, in Shropshire, and r e si d enc es in London during th e thee he was in Parliament, from 1 820 to 1830. His Parliamentary expenses were stated at 550/. a year. Ile had been in the Queen's 132nch Prison .ince October last. Scyoral creditors had entered oppo sitions, hut Only one creditor opposed. Mr. Bensoa stated his belief that the incumbrances on his lauded estates exceeded the value of his interest in them, which was for life only. He had resided in France nearly ten years, and returr.cd to this country in July last, Ile had only one detaining creditor, Mary Ryland, who had been rine o f his servants, and whom he owed wat.t•es between 501 and 6C/. lie was arrested at her suit in the Strand as he was goin g into the City. The Cetaining creditor, Mary Ryland, got judgment by a Judge's order for 50/., and he was taken to prison. He bad to a num ber et his debts set up in his schedule the statute of limi tation as a bar. The arrest was not a "friendly" pro ceeding. Ultimately the Court declared that lie was entitled to the benefit of the Act. He was discharged accordingly. dT t C ,r or i r n cs i r , 3 o , lV . e c n L t, ii c,;- i T avivg ,ry—some wri. --- Jutlex, the Mo rn i ng P os t' s well-informer _tiff plains of a literary stolen his good Lame.
