GLOBE.—The Times has written two articles, and threatens more, the purport of which is to prove that which was already pretty generally known—that Sir R. Peel does not mean to be tied down to any particular course on assuming the functions of Minister. His primary object having been to get in, his secondany purpose will be to keep in ; and professions which were very useful to attain the first of these views, would, if reduced into practice be very fatal to the second. To wreck the Ministerial vessel when in the hands of the Liberals, it was all very well that the Tory party should assume the fixedness of the rock ; but the rock of opposition is now to be dissolved into the quicksand of expediency, which will be assuredly fatal to the Conservative crew, when the tide of electioneering triumph shall have receded, and left nothing but Tory principles for the Tory craft to rest upon- That the expectant Premier has commenced his soundings with the view of following in the course of ,the Whigs, is obvious from the altered tone of the journals in his interest. Vacillation, which was the alleged crime of the present holders of office, is to be the great virtue of their successors, who are to have the unfettered option of going in any direction that the circumstances of the moment, or, in other words, the preservation of their places, may seem to require. The Times has not even the moderation to claim for its protege the right of making one deviation, however flagrant, from the course lie has declared to be the only proper one, but reserves for him the right of going any way at any time, according as the political mind may act on the political weathercock. A statesman who is to be " all things 'by turns," will assuredly be " nothing, long," and his career must inevitably be brief as a Nil ' 'lister. By trying to make himself " everything to every body," he will soon find himself, in the vulgar and some what self-contradictory phrase, "nothing to nobody." STANDARD.—The last number of the Edinburgh Review reminds us of a person at the Court of the un fortunate Louis XVI., who obtained from the populace the surname of De f icit. Now, as her Majesty's Minis ters are as well entitled to a distinctive title as their predecessors of the Cabnl, or the Coalition, or the Taleuts administrations—none of them weaker or more wicked than the present—we respectfully propose that henceforward they bear the name of the deficit Ministry. They have the most indis putable right to the name. Their deficiency in all the qualifications of statesmen has been abundantly proved ; but this is not what we mean ; we allude to the deficit which they have created in the public resources, which they make the apology for their most outrageous propositions, which, strange as it may seem, consti tutes their plea of merit, and their claim to public con fidence, and the anchor of their hope of a restoration to office. They surely who have, during six years laboured so industriously to create a deficit and now exult in the suc- C ,.78 of their labours, must be rather proud than ashamed of the title we give them, the " Deficit Ministry." We are told, indeed, that the existing deficit is owing to the unforeseen ,casualty of the wars in China, Syria, and Afghanistan; is not doing justice to the " deficit administration ;" their exertions to earn the title we claim for them preceded those wars. We have before us a return on income and expenditure for three years, ordered by the House of Commons on the 22d of June, upon the motion of the late Member for Falkirk—who must not drop a tear ever the political tomb of Mr. Gillon? He will be missed almost as much as his brother in modesty, gracefulness, and geniu; ; Mr. Joseph Hume—but this by the way. We have before us, as we said, a return of income and ex penditure for three years-1838, 1839, 1840. Now, upon the first of these years we find a deficit of 441,8191., but there was no China war ; no Syrian war ; no Affghan war in 1838. Upon the second of these years we find a deficit of 1,381,9381., and still in 1839 there was no China war—no .Affghan war—no Syrian war. In the turd year Ministers found that they were going a little too fast in the deficit department, and they added five per cent. !:o the taxes, but still the desired deficit flourished in abundant " fructification,'? to borrow Lord Sydenham; figure, for at the end of 1840 we have a deficit of 430,5434, making in the three years a total of 3,574,3001.—A pretty deficit realised upon which to retire from business, were this the whole ; but this is only the " fructification" of three years, and the pursuit of a deficit began much earlier, as most of our readers will recollect from our reference to Lord Sydenham's notable doctrine of " fructification ;" aid the seven months of 1841 already consumed cannot fait (consider ing especially the election expenses) to enlarge the minus quantity—the deficit is actually no doubt from seven to ten millions sterling. COURIER.—The Revue des deux Monde:, or rather the writer of the eloquent article from which we so freely extracted yesterday, may be assured that without '" transactions" of any kind with any party, or the frac tion of any party, Sir Robert Peel, with the " same ad mirable sagacity, ability, dignified, calm, and foreseeing patience," for the extraordinary and conjunctive posses sion of which he is so justly credited by the reviewer, will conciliate for his administration the support, in the main, and sooner or later, of all wise, patriotic, and dieirterested men who, however hitherto classed, and sometimes viciously, under certain party ensigns, such as IVhigs, Liberals, or Reformers, have yet certain great landmarks of constitutional principles in common with each other, and with the Conservatives, and which, as .r.uch, must ever constitute a broad and impassable line of demarcation bet Ween them and the Radicals, Revolu tionists, and Repealers. The amalgamation of parties conscientiously according in the same fundamental points of political faith will be consummated by no compromise of principles on either`side, nor ratified in the shape of any compact or coalition formally expressed or implied. There are, doubtless, precedents for such combinations and fusions of parties, but they are not generally such as have commanded pUblic respect, even when governed by vie impea.chable motives, and arranged between the most honourable men. The 'Government of Sir Robert will be, in the proper acceptation of the term, essentially a i ce fi nm e it g Government. Reforming, in the sense in which the illuitrious Bacon defined it, when he bade us take heed that it be the necessity of " the reformation which precedeth the change, and not the desire of change that pretendeth' the reformation." STATE OF TRADE. (From the Manchester Guardian.) The gloom which hung over the Manchester market, in consequence of the continental bankruptcies alluded to last week, has been deepened by acc ounts of very exten sive failures at Paisley, where thirteen houses are said t o .have stopped payment, at the latter end of last week, for nn amount, collectively, about 300,0001. Though the im mediate effect of 6hese failures upon parties resident inMan ches ter will probably not be very seri o u s,they are calculated to inspire greaf distrust, and, coupled with two or three failures which have., recently occurred in this town, had, no doubt, a material effect upon the market yes terday, which was one of the worst that has been ex perienced during the present year. Yarns and goods were both depressed in price ; and very few sales could be made, even at the very lowest rates hitherto cur rent. The depression was probably in some degree increased by the unfavourable appearance of the wea ther, which, after three or four comparatively favour able days, has again put on a threatening appearance and serious fears are now entertained that a late and defective harvest may be added to the other causes which press with such tremendous severity upon the manufacturing interests. Two large spinning and ma nufacturing concerns, one at Macclesfield and the other at Stockport, which have been for some time past worked under the inspection of creditors, are about to be closed, in consequen ce o f th e unprofitable nature of the business. It is stated that the stoppage at Stockport will only be temporary; but that, we presume, must depend in some degree upon the future state of the trade. In the mean time, at all events, the effect upon the work people will be very serious. IiOCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, JULY 26. — We have had another brisk market to-day, and the buyers have purchased freely at last week's prices. Wool still continues to advance a little ; yet the manu facturers buy very sparingly, under the impression that the present prices cannot long be maintained. IIiTDDERSTIELD MARKET, J PLY 27.—There is nothing new in the state of this market—the same heaviness which has so long been noticed, is still too apparent, especially in woollens. In light fancies there is more doing, and fair prices are realized. In the warehouses perhaps it may be, said there is a slight improvement. On the whole, bad as are, it is some satisfaction that business is no worse. STATE OF TRADE AT STOCKPORT.—The utmost dis tress prevails among the manufacturing population of this town, in consequence of the number of hands out of employ, and the short time which has been worked at a number of mulls during several months. This state of things, we are sorry to say, is likely to be aug -I~les~srs.

'Upwards of 1,000 hands will be thrown out of employment by the stoppage of these mills. LATEST BETTING AT MAN CHESTER. MANCHESTER, TUESDAY EVENING. As may be supposed, the celebrated and splendid meeting at Goodwood must have attracted a large majority of the Lancashire turf gentlemen. The room this morning was moderately attended, but the ab sence of so many capitalists caused the bets to be neither heavy nor numerous. The prices will vary as letters reach from Sussex ; consequently, to-morrow the following figures may be very different from the specu lations then asked for. As near as we could glean, the closing prices against the horses names were as follows : THE GOODWOOD STAKES. 7 to 2 agst Lord Eglinton's Dr. Caius, Bst'2lb—t 8 to 1 agst Lord Albemarle's Exit, Est 111 b—off 8 to 1 agst Mr. Smith's The Maid, Est 111 b—t 8 to 1 agst Mr. Payne's Welfare, Bst 71b—off 8 to 1 agst Lord Chesterfield's Henri Quatre, 9st 41b—taken 10 to 1 agst Mr. Goodman's Orelia, Bst 81b 10 to 1 agst Mr. Jones's Portrait, Est 71b—taken 11 to 1 agst Mr. Gardnor's Monops, 7st 21b 15 to 1 agst Duke of Richmond's Confusionee, Bst— taken and then offered 15 to 1 agst Bosphorus—lfered 50 to 10 against Orelia and the Maid, taken. Henri was at first laid against at 10 to 1. We did not bear Isabella and one or two others in the South bettings named. Dr. Caius, Henri, The Maid, and Portrait were most in demand. Offers to take 30 to 1 Dr. Caius wins this event and the cup. THE GOODWOOD CUP.—Maroon was offered against yesterday at 12 to 1, at night two points less were takes, but 8 to 1 was snapped in a good channel at the opening of business at noon ; a point less would have been taken since. Charles was backed in scores at our price, and may be considered on a par with Pocahontas. Offers during the evening to lay 5 to 4 three beat the field. The field against any two freely offered. 7to 2 agst Mr. Greatorex's Pocahontas, 7st 111 b—t. 4to 1 4 to 1 agst Mr. Johnstone's Charles XII., Bst 131 b— t. 7 to 1 agst Lord Westminster's Maroon, Bst 51b—taken 8 to 1 agst Duke of Orleans's Nautilus, Est 121 b.—offered 8 to 1 agst Lord Chesterfield's Colwick, Bst 31b—offered Vapour was named, but no price transpired. • None of the other Goodwood events were touched upon to re quire comment. BADEN, JULY 18.—The Grand Duke gave an audience to-day to a deputation of the Second Cham ber, which waited on him with the sanction of the two Chambers, to the Project of law for the prolongation of the Customs' Union. His .Highness, in answer to Dr. Bader, the spokesman of the deputation, said, " I had no doubt that the two Chambers would unanimously agree to this proposal ; they are certain of my approba tion whenever they study the true interest of the coun try. I am convinced that our participation in the Custom house will, in the result, be of very great advantage to my subjects." A. GENUINE PATRIOT AND PO. LITICIAN. With candour in his heart, truth on his lips, and ho nour in his eye, no opponent could dispute his words, no supporter distrust his designs. The great mission of his calling, the advancement of justice, morality, and civili zation, would demand none but the most simple as well as the most honourable measures, for purity of motives presupposes purity of means. His ambition would be to found an empire of superior intelligence and happiness ; to dispel error would be his particular talent, and at his approach, cunning, duplicity, ignorance, suspicion, and fear would depart in dismay ; honesty and knowledge would be the attributes by which he would cause his age and his country to shine brightest above former days, and he would bequeath to future times the difficult task of rivalling excellencies which had hitherto been deemed unattainable. Such a one might, perhaps, tell us, that legislation was not intended to be applied to the minutiae of man's daily pursuits, wants, and enjoyments; that legislators rendered themselves liable to suspicion when they meddled with matters evidently most profitable to themselves. That those governments were most perfect whose interference was but rarely needed in ordinary affairs; and that in humble imi tation of the allwise Ruler of the universe, human rulers should aim at simplicity—not at complication ; at liberty-- not at restraint; that too little legislation was the prefer able extreme; that unnecessary legislation generated dis respect to the makers and administrators of laws, and challenging infringement became a fertile source of new crimes. Of monopolies like the Corn-law, he might, perhaps, say that they would generate, if effective, a preponde rance of political interest, frequently unmanageable, and threatenine , to disturb the equilibrium, which the vast variety of 6 mental and bodily powers, the constant development of fresh intelligence and skill, new wants and new gratifications, seemed best calculated to main tain, as in the universe so in the state. That laws, re gulating the supply of food—that the Corn-laws might not inaptly be ranged with the melancholy musings of the learned friend of Imlac and Rasselas !—that the attempt, justly to apportion the supply of food to the wants of a constantly fluctuating mass of people, would presume the regulation of the weather and the distri bution of the seasons, and the insane fancy, that the sun would listen to our dictates, and pass from tropic to tropic by our directions—that the clouds, at our call, would pour their waters, and the Nile overflow at our command—and that we could restrain the rage of the dog star, and mitigate the fervour of the crab. Alas : in mere fond delusion might we not find (as has been found in the administration of all such laws) that some of the elemental powers would refuse our authority, and that (how true is the application) multitudes had perished by tempests which we found ourselves unable to prohibit or to restrain. Alas ! do not let us lay the flattering unction to our souls, that we could administer this great office with exact justice, and make to the different nations of the earth an impartial dividend of rain-and sunshine What must be the misery of half the globe, should we limit the clouds to particular regions, and confine the sun to either side of the equator ? What must be the suffering of half the people, should we confine plenty to the other half ? What the pinings and miseries of the sucking babe, the sickly mother, the famishing poor, the aged, tottering, and hungry, the feeble in mind and body, when we let the interests of the strong, the bold, the pursuing, the vigorous, the powerful, and wealthy prevail, and by the nice adjustment of a half penny in the average price of 735., prevent the enjoy ment of wholesome bread for a whole week, as was the case in September, 1838? What our repentant pangs, should we finally discoverthe impossibility of making a disposition by which the world can be advantaged, though we turn the axis of the earth, and sometimes va ried the ecliptic of the sun! Quitting the mighty lessons of the great moralist, he might tell us, " Look around, and ponder on the inces sant change of every thing human," before we persevere in rules and laws affecting every grain of wheat that is grown, and every mouthful of bread that is eaten. Be hold the rapid whirlpool of events, the quick succession of unforeseen circumstances, the daily birth of hidden causes and effects thought impossible. Printing, an art once unknown, now furnishes a few hours and for a few pence an unmeasured supply of mental food, such as the power of Alexander or Cmsar could not have procured nay, which even the mightiest imagina tion of ancient days had not extent to conceive ! Law has not protected—nay, it has opposed with all its delays and oppression—the progress of rail roads, yet we roll in a few hours from one end of the kingdom to the other ! Ten thousand glide now in splendid barges daily along our rivers and seas, where formerly a few individuals could scarcely be collected, to maintain a slow, a perilous, and an incon venient weekly traffic. Far mightier powers than steam are as yet more or less dormant—carbonic gas is kept as a giant sleeping, chained up in safety, until more ma nageable, but galvanic action serves us with the speed of thought as a means of transmitting news, and assists in reducing the perilous and poisonous toil of manufac turing processes to safe and easy performances. " Na vigation, mining, engineering, and architecture, have ad vanced more by means of steam in a few years than they did under the fostering patronage of princes and sove reigns during as many centuries. Every minute we live, every breath we draw, every hour that passes by, every season that rolls on, must convince us that we foresee little, know nothing, and legislate in the dark— that the world runs on with railway speed, and that we fol low with the silly solemnity of a Lord-Mayor's coach ; for 'such is the true nature of the sliding rule, by which You tacasure out distress and famine to the people with the exact nicety of a half-penny in seventy-three shil lings."—Morlll•ng paper.

COLONIAL BISHOPRICS.—In the course of a sermon preached on Sunday last at St. Peter's Church, Globe-road, Mile-end, by the Rev, Thomas Jackson, that gentleman stated that very shortly the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts, aided by the Church Missionary Society, intended sending out bishops to Jerusalem, New Zealand, and the coast of Niger, the expenses of which would be defrayed out of the funds of the Societies. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. ROME ClRCUlT.—Maidstone, July 27. The Learned Judges arrived here yesterday, and opened the Commission, after which they attended divine service at All Saints' Church. The calendar contains the names of 40 prisoners, of whom two are 'oharged with rape, five with aiding and abetting one of the other prisoners in committing a rape, one with manslaughter, one with cutting the thruat of his wife, with intent to murder her, five with felony, and the remainder with larcenies of various descriptions. Of these prisoners two only are well educated, twelve can read and write imperfectly, five can read imperfectly, and twenty-one can neither read nor write. In the Civil list there are 18 causes put down for trial, of which one only is a special jury case. Tile SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, ,_ITTLY 28, 1841. CROWN COURT. William Elvy, alias Foster, and George Butcher, labourers, were indicted for feloniously and maliciously destroying 30 hop-bines, growing on poles in a plan tation of hops, the property of Mr. John Mames, of Selling. Some witnesses were called, but the evidence against the prisoners not being conclusive, they were acquitted. MIL SIDE. FARNCOMB V. DENTON. This was an action by the plaintiff,who sued in forma pauperis to recover compensation for an injury inflicted upon him by the defendant. Mr. Chambers and Mr. Dowling were for the plaintiff, and Mr. Platt for the defendant. It appeared that the plaintiff, who is an aged man, had some pecuniary transactions with the defendant, and the latter went to his house upon the subject of those transactions, and an altercation taking place, the de fendant by some means got the plaintiff's arm jammed in the door and broke it in two places, and it was to re cover compensation for the injury that the present action was brought. Mr. PLATT, in his address to the Jury, remarked upon the fact of 'the plaintiff suing as a pauper, and said that the effect of such a course was that he could not lose anything, and the defendant was compelled to pay heavy costs, although the Jury might think there was no ground for action. Lord Chief Justice TINDAL, in summing up, said he did not think there was any ground for complaining of the plaintiff suing as a pauper. By the benignity of the English law, if a person was able to make affidavit that he was not worth five pounds, the law assigned him attorney and counsel to assist his rights, and he thought it was very proper it should be so, for, if it were not, a poor man might be compelled to suffer grievous inju y without hope of obtaining redress. The Jury found for the plaintiff—Damages 201. NORTHERN CIRCUIT—Durham, July 26. (Before Lord DENMAN.) MUNTON V. SNAITH. This was an action to recover damages for breach of promise of marriage. Mr. Dundas and Mr. Watson ap peared for the plaintiff, and Sir G. Lewin for the de fondant. Mr. DUNDAp stated the plaintiff's case to the jury, and in so doing said, the conduct of the defendant would be shown, from tho evidence he should lay before the jury, to have been most unhandsome and heartless, and she was now obliged to adopt the present mode of obtaining compensation from the man by whom she had been first deceived, and then betrayed. The defendant pleaded that he did not make the promise, and of that fact there would, however, be ample proof—fulfil it he could not, as he had since married another. He had won the affections of this young woman ; she became pregnant and pro duced a child ; she was then deserted, ami another was made his wife. The plaintiff is now about twenty-five years old, the daughter of a grocer at Stockton, a person yespectable, though in humble circumstances, who, having several children, the plaintiff was under the necessity of endeavouring to gain her livelihood at service. She went in the capacity of housekeeper to an uncle at Bradford, where she fulfilled the duties of that station without reproach for several years. On his death she returned to her father's house, and shortly after was introduced by the mother of the defendant, who was her aunt, to the house of the defendant. He had shortly be fore lost his wife, and stood in need of the services of a housekeeper. In August last the plaintiff, with the mother of the defendant, went to his residence at Bel tringham, near Hexham, in Northumberland, and it was then arranged that she should remain there at least dur ing the coming harvest, and assist in his household affairs. During that visit it did unfortunately happen that she be came pregnant by him. She returned to her father's house on the 22d of December. The defendant, before her de parture, had repeatedly promised her marriage. This cir cumstance she imparted to her friends, a wedding dress was bought, and other preparations made for that event. On the 14th of January he came to her father's house, appa rently for the purpose of fulfilling his promise, but in the course of his arrangements with her father, it appeared that the chief motive in his mind was the money he might expect as her fortune, and upon this paltry considera tion it was that he openly violated his solemn engage ment. Her father informed him that he had a large family, and would not be able to give any portion with his daughter, though ho intended to divide his property among them equally at his death. The defendant re mained at the house from the Friday when he arrived till the Monday following, when he disappeared. In the agitation consequent upon this event the pregnancy of the plaintiff was discovered. In a moment of anger, her father turned her from his door, and she took refuge at Houghton, in the house of her aunt, the mother of the defendant. There she was delivered. Several letters had passed between the parties, in which the relation in which th,f stood would be sufficiently manifest to the Jury. One was directed to the plaintiff at her father's house before the engagement was broken off, couched in the usual terms on such occasions. Another she re• ceived after she went to his mother's ; it said, " I have sent you all your clothes that I could find, and am sorry for you. Your father may blame himself. lam blame able ; but our union, which might have taken place, is now hopeless." After some further expressions, he added, "I do detest your father's obstin ac y." Thi s , there fore, was the paltry consideration which principally weighed to induce the violation of his promise, and was no doubt the object which he had in view in the engagement which he subsequently contracted. A letter written to his parents after his marriage, dated the 4th of February, mentions that he had contracted matrimony, and says that he supposes Margaret, the plaintiff, has left their house, and intimates his intention to befriend her so far as money was concerned, and adds in the exultation of gratified avarice, " I am perfectly satisfied up to this time, fortune a thousand." It would appear that besides the property which he thus obtained, he had consider able possessions of his own, and he, the Learned Coun sel, hoped that out of this money, which he had made his God, the Jury would award ample compensation to the plaintiff. whom, he had so grievously wronged and so basely deserted. The Learned Counsel then called several witnesses, and adduced the evidence necessary to sustain his case. The defendant had, it appeared, subsequently to the com mencement of the action, called on a distant connexion of the family, and expressed a wish to settle the matter, as it was a family affair, and he did not like the expo sure of the public press. Sir G. LEWIN, for the defendant, contended that the Jury had not sufficient evidence of any absolute promise on the part of the defendant ; and the promise which he made, if he made any at all, was rather conditional on the father's advancing a portion with his daughter. He would, however, adduce further evidence, to show that the plaintiff had repeatedly admitted no such promise had been made. If, however, the Jury should be of opi nion that it was made out, it would be his duty to lay before them the character of the plaintiff, which was not such as to entitle her to more than the smallest possible damages that they could award. The Learned Counsel then called the mother of the defendant to show that the plaintiff had accompanied her uninvited on her visit to Beltringham ; that a few days after her arrival she be came so intoxicated as not to know what she was about, and that the witness on going down stairs after she sup posed all had retired to bed, found her upon the sofa with the defendant. She refused to return to Houghton with the witness, but insisted on remaining. Other witnesses were called to prove admissions by the plaintiff that the defendant had never promised her marriage, as also to accuse her of levity of conduct with other persons. One of these deposed to a flagrant act of the kind in November last, but the witnesses sake only of occurrences since she left the defendant's residence. Mr. DUNDAS, in his reply, commented strongly upon the course taken for the defence, and the improbability of the statement laid before them. The Learned JUDGE having summed up the case the Jury, after a short retirement, returned with a verdict for the plaintiff—damages, 2501. NORFOLK ClRCUlT—Norwich, July 26. (Before Mr. Baron ALDERSON.) WILLIMONT V. READ. This was an action for breach of promise of marriage, to which the defendant pleaded that he made no such promise ; and secondly, that after the making of the promise the plaintiff conducted herself in an improper manner, and became pregnant by some person to him unknown. Mr. Palmer and Mr. C. Cooper were counsel for the plaintiff •, Mr. Andrews and Mr. W. Cooper for the de fendant. The plaintiff is a young woman of the age of 24, and carries on the business of a bonnet-maker at Dereham ; the defendant is a farmer living near that town. The defendant had been in habits of friendly intercourse with the plaintiff's family for ten years, but no express promise to marry her was shown previously to the time of her coming, in a state of pregnancy, from London. In March, 1840, she went to town, whence she returned home pregnant. In September following, the defendant went to the house of the lady's father, at a time when she was not only pregnant, but visibly so. The father asked him when he intended to marry his daughter, as he thought it was high time he did something, and he replied he would do so before Christmas. The father wished to know, " why not then, to prevent accidents," and on the defendant saying it was not convenient, - his father-in-law that wished to be said he would support her for a year or two, to which the defendant made no reply. The plaintiff's mother was at this time in much distress, and the defendant told her not to be angry with her daughter, for he was the first man that had be haved improperly with her : he then left the house, Christmas came, but no marriage came with it, and be fore the arrival of that festival, the plaintiff gave birth to a youthful " lord of the creation." In the February fol lowing, the plaintiff being ill and in hed, the defendant went up stairs to see her, when she told him she was very unwell, and asked ‘‘ what would b ecom e of her child if she should die ?" He said he would take it home ? it :hould come to no harm, and desired her not to fret. The plaintiff then wished to know what was to become of her if she got better, and he replied he would take her home a nd make her comfortable. " Ali !" said she " but in what way ?" and he told h er h o wou ld marry her with out fail. He was much affected at this time and crying and nursed the child for a quarter of an hour, observing w ith something like paternal pride and partiality that it was "an uncommon fine child to be sure." The plain tiff got well, but the defendant did not marry her and take her home, and make her comfortable, but on the contrary his atto:ney refused for him, in reply to a re quest, on the part of her attorney; that he should do so forthwith. • On the part of the defendant, some evidence was called for the purpose . of showing that the plaintiff was a person of light conduct and demeanour. It was stated that just before the time of her going to town she was drinking tea with a neighbour, and whilst she was there the neighbour's son called her out of the room, and they took a walk together. An aunt of her's, who had quar relled with her family, also stated that she had often seen her walking with one Robert Halliday in the public streets, and once in the churchyard of Derehani. But no evidence of any improper act or Rxpression was given. Mr. Baron ALDERSON, in summing up the evidence, told the Jury that the pleas of justification had not been sustained by the evidence, and that the only questions for their consideration were, whether the plaintiff- had proved a promise of marriage, and if she had, to what damages she was entitled. The Jury, after a short deliberation, found a verdict for the plaintiff, with 50/. damages. This case occupied a considerable portion of time ; the rest of the day in the Civil Court was spent in the trying of trifling actiDns for debts, of interest to the litigant parties, but to no one else, unless it be the pro , fessional men. In the Crown Court, Mr. Justice Williams has been relieving. the criminal calendar by trying short and un interesting cases. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. Mr. Harris, a gentleman connected with the Agricul tural and Commercial Bank of Ireland, was summoned before the Lord Mayor for having unlawfully taken pos session of, and detained, a letter, belonging to Mr. Ste phenson, a clerk in the same establishment. Mr. Hobler, jun., appeared for the complainant, and Mr. Murray for the defendant. The case was remarkable for the uncere monious manner id which one person opened the desk of another, and took out, read, and possessed himself of a letter addressed to the brother of the party who was thus unceremoniously treated with impunity. Mr. Stephenson stated that Mr. Harris, on the 9th of July, 1840, deliberately went to his (witness's) drawer in the banking-house, routed about the papers in it. and possessed himself of a letter which witness had been writ ing to his brother. The letter contained imputations against Mr. Harris, but witness never intended that the contents should be seen, and regretted that he had writ ten it. Nevertheless, he considered that Mr. Harris had no right whatever to take a letter, which, if meant for any body's eye, was not meant for his, and, least of all, had he a right to open the private drawer of another for the purpose of getting hold of the letter. Witness's ob ject was to have the letter returned or destroyed. The LORD MAYOR—Are you able to prove any in jury to yourself arising from the detention of this letter? Did it contain a draft for money, or anything of that kind ? Mr. Stephenson replied that the letter contained nothing of the sort, but he thought he could show that the detention of it did him injury. In fact, he had ex pected to be connected more particularly with the bank. In answer to questions from Mr. Murray, Mr. Ste phenson said that Mr. Harris was his superior in office, and although not by any means authorised to discharge him, had given him his dismissal, by telling him that the establishment had no further occasion for him, an in timation given to others as well as to himself. Mr. Murray—Was it not on account of that letter that Mr. Harris discharged you ? Mr. Stephenson—l don't know that-it was ; but I contend that be. had no sort of right to take a letter from my papers not addressed to, or intended for himself. Mr. Murray How are you engaged now ? Mr. Stephenson I tried to form an insurance com pany, but I did not succeed, and I am now connected with the press. The LORD MAYOR—Is the bank of which you speak in business ? Mr. Stephenson—lt has given up busi ness, but I havo every reason to suppose, from the com plimentary manner in which the Directors spoke to me in Dublin, that I should be elected by them in preference to Mr. Harris if it were going on. The LORD MAYoR—I hope Mr. Harris will have good taste enough to give up a letter which he had no right to touch. Atr. Murray said that Mr. Stephenson had spoken of the letter to others (a circumstance not denied by that gentleman), and that Mr. Harris, as the superior agent in the concern, considered that he had a right to take possession of the letter, as well as any other papers con tained in the drawers of the establishment. The LORD MAYOR—I cannot see that he was at all justified, and I would advise that if the letter contain any thing offensive toMr. Harris it be destroyed in the pre sence of both. Mr. Murray—The letter has been taken away twelve months, and contains nothing of any importance to the writer ; but it is, I think, proper that Mr. Harris should keep it, as it was the cause of the dismissal, and is Mr. Harris's justification. The LORD MAYOR—Nothing can, in my opinion, jus tify this act of Mr. Harris. I - speak from the influence of that feeling which has directed me through life. At the same time I do not see how I can interfere, except merely in suggesting the natural and honourable course of proceeding. Mr. Hobler, jun., said that the latter was a chattel, and that the case carne properly under the jurisdiction of the Lord Mayor, who had the power to compel resti tution. Mr. Murray said he had not the least objection to let the solicitor for the complainant see the letter, and he considered that it was not likely to be of any importance. Mr. Hobler, jun., read the letter, and admitted that there was but slight grounds for apprehension as to con sequences, but still urged the propriety of restoring or destroying it. The Lord Mayor's advice was not adopted in the pre sence of the public. Sir P. LAURIE came to the Justice-room for the pur pose of complaining Of the wooden pavement in the Poultry, opposite to the Mansion-house. He declared that although the horses in the omnibuses contrived to get over the blocks, it was most dangerous for gentleman either to ride or drive on them. In fact, life and limbs Of men and horses were in imminent hazard wherever the wooden pavement was laid down. For his part, he chose rather to undergo the inconvenience and danger of riding through narrow streets and lanes than the much more imminent peril of an experiment upon the wood. The LORD MAYOR said he was not aware that the wooden pavement was considered so dangerous as Sir Peter Laurie represented it to be. Sir P. LAURIE said it was quite distressing to see the falls of the poor horses on the wood. In fact, the horses which were not fastened up and protected in the tin wieldy omnibuses were so perfectly aware of the danger of slipping, that the moment they got upon the wooden pavement, they trembled in every limb. The effect was quite palpable. On the granite pavement, the contrast was remarkable, from the firmness and security with which the horses passed along. The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty.. to Animals 'would, he hoped, as they were bound, turn their attention from the com paratively frivolous matters in which they were engaged generally, to a subject of such paramount importance. He should himself mention the nuisance in the Justice room, as a notice of his future intention. The street-keeper of the Poultry said, upon being asked by Mr. Hobler to state the result of his daily ob servation of the wooden pavement, that when the blocks were partly wet, the country horses, which were not used to such pavement, tumbled about in great confusion. THE STEAM- PIER NUISANCE AT BLACKFRIARS BRIDGE.—Sir P. LAURIE said that he- felt it to be an im perative duty upon him to persevere in calling attention, wherever he could be heard, to subjects of great public grievance. He had alluded in another place to the dangerous pier at the east side of Blackfriar's-bridge, and to the hazard which a gentleman had incurred in landing. He had received a letter from the gentleman who had nearly lost his life, and as the whole public were interested he should hand it in, although not aware that it was intended for more than his own eyes, and as containing suggestions directed to his own and the City Solicitor's attention : " Witley, near Godalming, " Tuesday, July 20, 1841. " Sir,—The urbanity and courtesy shown to Mrs. Taylor and me last week, induce me, now that I have reached home in safety, to Write a statement of facts for your better information; and the guidance of the City Solicitor, whom you intended that I should have had the happiness of seeing, prior to leaving. Guildhall. " I attribute my dangerous and perilous descent into the Thames on Thursday the 11th, to the following causes : Ist. The Captain's haste to get rid of his pas sengers, of whom I saw several disembark, prior to my being sent to the bottom. " 2d. To the medium of communication from the pier (Blackfriars) to the packet (Starlight), which was a board, apparently a.worn-out door, minus any bolt, bar, or other fastening whatever, to prevent it from being thrown out of position by the motion of pier and packet. " 3d. To the pier itself, at the end of the said medium, which presents to the eye of persons coming from the rural plains of Surrey,. a mass of confusion jumbled to gether, which only watermen or persons wonted, could tread—i. e. the board from the packet not being in line with that part of the said pier, where persons who have just preceded stand to deliver their tickets, surrounded by vociferous fellows calling for tickets and giving pro miscuous orders, which prevent others disembarking from off the said board, so communicating with the packet, at an elevation above the flooring of the pier in general, "Then there are (or were) ropes obliquely crossing from side to side of that end of the pier adjoining the said board. and not clear from the feet of passengers, when so preceded by and impeded by persons as above mentioned. It being a floating-pier, some motion must be given to it by the tide, which is directly opposed to that little motion which the packets still retain, however slightly, when put first along side, either to or from Vauxhall, which opposite motions are enough to dislodge such a medium of communication as was used that day, and, I am sorry to add, some days after. As I chose to recon noitre the pier before I returned to Witley, it was still there, perhaps still continues, to the future hazard of lives. Allow me, Sir, to inform you, that being recog nised by the parties who manage the business on that pier, I was insulted and accused of injustice in my com plaint before you. One of them said I should not have been saved but for his assistance. Let me never forget to be grateful. I beg to acknowledge some aid after I ascended to the surface ,intending to swim ashore,&c. Upon inquiry I found this man had called at the Surrey and Sus sex Hotel (where I was put in hot blankets, with bottles placed to my feet, and plied with brandy and water, &c., to recover warmth) for my signature to some paper that would entitle him to the reward. I would not give my signature upon finding that he was one of the managers, or mismanagers, of the said pier. No, I would not offer a premium for another individual's submersion in the Thames, off Blackfriars-pier. Allow me to assure you that I have a sincere regard for your good offices as a Magistrate of London; and fur your hospitality as an English) gentleman ; and that I have the honour to be, " Sir, your bumble servant, "GEORGE NELSON TAYLOR." Sir P. LAURIE said he trusted that the danger com plained of was nearly at an end, as the case was in the hands of the City Solicitor, who was remarkable for the promptness, as well as the ability, with which he as sailed all public nuisances. GUILDHALL. Yesterday Charlotte Clements, an old woman, was brought up on a charge of begging. The charge was no sooner made than the wretched prisoner, made bold and almost eloquent by hunger and extreme distress, exclaimed—" Well, if I did beg, is it not better to beg than to steal ? One or the other I must do, or I must starve. I have not a bit to eat. I have not a place in which to put my head. I have not a -rag to put on. What must I do ?" She cried, and her voi▪ ce rang through the Court. Alderman Kelly was much affected, and evidently puz zled to answer her question. " Look at my body," said she, raising her arms, which were each thrust into an old stocking leg, and turning herself round in the dock, exhibiting her breast and her hack, covered only with a piece of ragged linen--no dress, shoes, nor anything. • Now tell me," said she, with great vehemence, the tears streaming down her aged cheeks, " what am I to do? I could sell little things, but they must be bought ; and if I go to beg the money, I am seized and taken to prison." Alderman KELLY--Where is your home ? Prisoner —Have I not said I have none. Alderman KELLY—But you surely know where you come from'? Prisoner—Oh, yes, I.know that. I come from Hunslet, near Leeds. One of the clerks stated that she was sent down to Hunslet some time ago, but had returned. _ . Alderman KELLY-Why did you return ? Prisoner —l'll tell you why. My daughter, the only child I had left out of 13, was taken up and transported. She was innocent, I know she was, as you, Sir, who never saw her. But before she went I came to London to see her. That was not a guilty act, was it ? Alderman KELLY—Have you no friends at Hunslet ? Prisoner—None. Father, mother, brother, sister, hus band, and children, all are gone. I have not a friend in the world, but God Almighty above me ; and sometimes I think he is hard upon me to take all away and leave me behind. The worthy Alderman ordered the keeper of Bride well to take charge of her for a few days, and supply her with clothes. Afterwards they must see if something could not be done for her. BOW-STREET. The two young men, named Young and Williams, who were charged on Friday last on suspicion of having stolen twenty pieces of silk handkerchiefs, were brought up be fore Mr. Twyford, yesterday, and fully committed for trial. Yesterday a young man, named Thomas Lake Wills, son of a captain in the marine service, was brought be fore Mr. 'Twyford, by Peak, a constable in the service of the General Post-office, charged with stealing a letter containing a 101. note, which came into his possession as clerk in the establishment. Mr. Peacock, solicitor to the Post-office, conducted the prosecution. Mr. W. T. Henderson, manager of the London and Westminster Bank, in Lothbury, stated that on Thursday or Friday last the prisoner came to his room in the bank, and handed him the 101. Dorset note produced, dated the Ist of February, 1837, No. 248, which he said he had found in Blackfriars-road. Mr. W. Blott, clerk in the Inland-office, proved that the note produced, which he believed, from information he had received, to have been sent from Frome on the 16th instant, was addressed to Sheerness, but it never reached its destination. The prisoner was clerk in the Inland-office, and had been on duty in the Ramsgate dis trict on the evening of the 17th instant, through which the letter would have passed. Witness was present on Monday last, when he was asked if he had been to the London and Westminster Bank about a note; and after being cautioned, he said he had, and that he had found the note in Blackfriars-road, about half-past 11 on Thurs day morning last. He also said, he had gone to the `Westminster Bank about it, where he saw the last wit ness, who took the particulars of the note, which he gave to a gentleman with his name and address on a piece of paper. On being further questioned, he said he had given the note to the gentleman who had called with the piece of paper from the London and - Westminster Bank about it. The name of the gentleman was Roberts, of Devonshire-place, Camberwell, from whom he re ceived a memorandum of the note, which he subsequently destroyed. Constable Peak, after confirming the statement of the last witness as to the occurrence which took place at his lodging, and the account he gave of the note, produced a medal, on which was engraved, " Independent Royal Sussex Lodge of Odd Fellows, Brother Drinkwater, Guardian," together with several other small articles. On asking him if he had made .any presents to the lady residing at 41, North-street, Lambeth, he said he had not. • Witness next went to the house alluded to in North-street, where after some conversation with Mrs. Ashbee and her daughter, they went up stairs, and the young lady pointed out a:drawer, in which he found five gold rings, twenty-seven sovereigns and a half, a pair of tortoise-shell sidec-ombs, set in pearl, a gold brooch, a lady's green Russia leather companion, some pieces of copper, on one of which the name of " Harris" was engraved, together with sundry small articles produced. There was no reluctance on the part of the females to give wit ness every information he required. The prisoner declined making any defence, but re quested that certain members of his family might be allowed access to him while in prison, which being ac ceded to, upon the application of Mr. Peacock he was or dered to be remanded for a week. It was stated that the prisoner and the young female, Miss Ashbee, were to be united in marriage in a few days, but that his father, who was present during the ex amination, was adverse to the match. WORSHIP-STREET. CHARGE OF RECEIVING STOLEN PROPERTY.—Robert Wilkinson, a well-dressed person, who has carried on bu siness as a haberdasher, in High-street, Shoreditch, for nearly two years, was re-examined before Mr. Bin;ham, upon a charge of having feloniously received several pieces of riband, of the value of 141., the property of Mr. Stubbs, a haberdasher, in Church-street, Hackney. Mr. Humphries, the solicitor, attended for the defence. It appeared that, on the morning of Saturday se'nnight, two young men of respectable exterior, called at the prosecutor's shop, and requested to be shown some pieces of riband, upon which the son of the prosecutor placed several boxes before them. They left the shop without making a purchase, and soon after their departure, it was discovered that two of the boxes had been taken away. Information of the robbery was given to the police, but no trace of the property was obtained until Saturday last, when the prosecutor, whilst passing through Shoreditch, observed one of his boxes, which was of peculiar construction, exposed in the prisoner's shop win dow. Having procured the assistance of police-constables Holland and Haywood, who are attached to this Court, the prosecutor returned with them to the prisoner's shop, and at his request the box of ribands was submitted to his inspection, and he identified numerous rolls of riband from which his private mark had been partly obliterated. The prisoner, on being asked how he became possessed of the property, said that he bought it about five months before from Messrs. Cheaper, Watson, and Co., of Wood street, but he was unable to produce an invoice, and on subsequent inquiry it was ascertained that the firm in , question had had no dealings with him for upwards of twelve months. The policeman then secured the property and conveyed the prisoner to the station-house. They also took possession of the prisoner's cash box containing 296 sovereigns, and tivo 51. Bank of England notes, which were numbered respectively 89,572 and 28,156. Ser geant Dubois, N 14, afterwards made a further search of the place, and amongst several thousands of pieces of ri band, he found nearly 300, from which the shop marks and numbers had been torn off. The prosecutor identified the riband box, with the greater portion of its contents, as his property. The prisoner was renianded for a week, and the Ma gistrate refused to accept bail for his appearance.

BRIGHTON, JULY 26.—Yesterday on the arri val of the passengers by the first railroad coaches, a report was spread'that a shocking accident had occurred to one of the red vans (Pocock's) from London, and it was said the driver and guard Were almost killed, and the passengers, three or four of whom came on by the rail road train, much injured. It appeared that the van, which is the only night conveyance to Brighton, left at the usual time laden with about seven tons of luggage and eight passengers. On proceeding down Reigate-hill the skid was put on the wheels, when the van, which was groan ing under the immense weight, broke down, crushing the wheels and falling on one side. The driver and guard saved themselves by jumping off, but met with several se vere injuries. The passengers, inside and out, were dread fully injured by the heavy boxes, &c., in which they were literally buried. On extricating them, c,ne, an elderly gen tleman residing at Reigate, and who had adopted the con veyance to get home the same night, was at first thought to have been killed on the spot, but was found only to have been stunned. Another had his head cut and bruised ; a third the calf of his leg extensively injured; in fact, none escaped without severe injuries. The gentleman who lived at Rei g ate, after he had recovered, very kindly offered his house for the accommodation of his fellow-passengers, and took charge of a young man who was seriously ill, and who was proceeding to Brighton for a change of air. As soon as the passengers were re leased from their perilous situation assistance was pro cured. and as it was impossible to move the vehicle, it was necessary to dig out under the lamp, which it was feared would set it on fire. Vans were forwarded in the course of the day to bring the luggage to Brighton, amongst which were two tons of salmon, the non-arrival of which spoiled the dinner of numbers of individuals. It is rather singular that another of the red wins broke down at the same place the previous night. FROM LAST NIGHTS GAZETTE CROWN-OFFICE, JULY 27. MEDIBERS RETURNED TO SERVE IN THE NEW PARLIAMENT.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the London Mercantile Journal of July 27.) SUGAR.—To-day the demand was less active for West India from both grocers and refiners, but holders were firm, and obtained full rates for all sorts ; at public sale 100 hhds Barbadoes went at 62s 6d to 70s for middling to fine yellow, being the full value ; 51 hhds 86 trcs 58 barrels St. Lucia were sold, low to good yellow at 59s to 65s per cwt.

TEA.—There were several parcels brought to public sale to-day, comprising 16,860 packages of 908,060 lbs weight, 673,380 lbs of which were black and 234,680 lbs green. There was but a thin muster of the trade, and generally . much heaviness prevailed, there being but little disposition to purchase either black or gree n sorts, and even though great support was given by the merchants by buying in freely, prices as contrasted with last Tuesday's sales, showed a reduction of id per lb on Congou, about ld on Twankay, ld to 2d on Pouchong (of which description there was an unusu ally large proportion) and ld on other sorts. At these rates the sale proceeded until about a quarter before EVIEIV N'r4 stiN, two o'clock, when a report reached the sale room that the express in anticipation of the overland mail had art e rived in town, which excited the deepest interest, and tti sales were immedately adjourned by mutual consent o f buyers and sellers till to-morrow ly ornine - at tim "`" 3 hour, to give all parties an opportunity of ascertains the position of our trade in Chins; 'a lie prices actually- paid sales were as followF, viz.—Congou but mid blkah leaf ra str 2s 5d to 23 51d Pouchong is 10d to 2s Od ; Twankay but mid coa an ct . ra str 2s 11-d to 2s 3d ; Hyson but mid str br ut 2s d to 8.-}d, mid fresh and str 2s 10d to 2s lld ; Flowery i Pekoe good middling ra str 3s 8d to 3s ; but mid rii str bra 3s Id to 3s 2d ; Gunpowder but mid ra coa and str 5s per lb.

Up to the time of our going to press no intelligence ad been received from China, and it was generally believe" that the rumour was fabricated. SPIRITS.—The Rum market has Presented a lively appearance this week, with higher prices, tiLd a mu" larger business has been done than for some time past. Common Leewards have been the most sin ht after, and upwards of 800 puns have changed hands, PartlY on speculation, and an advance of ld per gallon lias been obtained ; proof strength to 2 over realised 2s to 8s ld, 4 to 10 over 2s 2d to 2s 3d, 16 to 20 over 29 4d to 2s 6d, 25 to 30 over 2s 8d to 3s ; 150 puns Demerara a a favourite mark, 28 to 35 over proof, ha ve 3 , l r t been sold at 3s 2d to 3s 8d per gallon, being 3 slic( - advance on the previous rates ; proof Leewar,: . are now mostly held for 2s Id, and it would be difficul to purchase below that price.
