EVENING- SUN IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS, Dec. 21. This being the day to which Parliament stood pro rogued, both Houses met about Twenty Minutes past Three o'Clock. At Half-past Three the Lord Chancellor, Lord Wharncliffe, and Lord Fitzgerald took their seats on the Woolsack, as Lords Commissioners. Mr. Pul man, the Deputy-Usher of the Black Rod, wa s th e n di rected by their Lordships to summon the Commons to the Bar, to hear her Majesty's Commission read for fur ther proroguing Parliament. Shortly afterwards Mr. Henry Ley, Mr. Bellamy, jun., and several of the officers of the House of Commons, appeared at the Bar. The Commission was then read at the table by Mr. Smith, and The LORD CHANCELLOR, in her Majesty's name, and by her command, declared the Parliament prorogued to Thursday, the 3d of February, to be then holden for the despatch of business. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. GLOBE.—Perverse practices breed perverse doctrines. In France, where everything has been done by Governments cor prevented from being done), that everlasting meddling has passed into system, and a whole school of eco nomists think centralisation the glory of their country. Thus tyrannies become tenets; and it is only in that shape they could survive the demolition of absolute power, and the rise of the dynasty of public opinion. It is truly lamentable that any piece of misgovernment, which has but lasted long enough, is sure to have created a whole legion of false opinions, which palliate and protract the reig n of abuses to which they owe their birth. Popuar doctrines of po litical economy in this country exhibit as many absurd fallacies as those of France, from a si milar source. Our access to food, and our em ployment of capital, have been arbitrarily re stricted by law ; our labour has been crippled of its power, because robbed of its returns, and our political economists have quietly accepted the phenomena produced by this abo minably artificial condition of things, as if they were quite in the course of nature, and incident to all advanced communities. It is much as if a mouse, which some scientific tormentor had placed in the exhausted receiver of an air-pump, should proceed to theorise (if mice theorised, or had leisure for it under such circumstances) on its uncomfortable situation, and refer it to va rious general causes, which all mice are liable to in an advanced state of society and civilisation ; all the while, without the slightest reference to the invisible process, which had deprived it of the vital element, and must soon terminate its 'existence. If there were two mice in the scrape, and if one of them was a " practical" mouse, he might discover that want of room was the palpable and obvious evil of the situation, and that want of air was a mere theoretical fantastic delusion. The practical mouse might therefore propose emigration of one of them ; and if the practical mouse happened to . be " Yorkshire," as well as "practical, ' he would propose that ,he should emigrate for the relief of the other .who was left. STANDARD.—The Leaguers seem to be dis posed to go the length of the French Commu nists, and, indeed, something more—a bar's length beyond our neighbours. The Communists, as tar as we learn of them, ask no more than to have all the land of the country confiscated, with a view to an equal distribution among all the people. This, however, is a modest proposal compared with that of the Leaguers. The latter, speaking by their organ, the Morning Chronicle, intimate an expectation that the agricultural class shall pay all the taxes, i. e. that not merely shall all the land, upon the plan of the Communists, be virtually confiscated, but that the capital and labour of landowners and farmers shall be con fiscated with it; and the liberty of these serfs of the soil, also, so far restrained that they must at all risks make up the public expenditure. In other words, the Leaguers require that more than fifty millions of expenditure be paid out of about thirty millions of rents of land, these rents being subjected meanwhile to constant diminution by the free import of foreign produce ; for the proposed substitute of a land tribute for all other taxes can in no way affect all the many excellent arguments with which we are daily en tertained, to prove that increasing foreign im ports are absolutely necessary to support our ma nufacturing population. The project of paying 50 millions annually from a wasting fund, com mencing at about 30 millions, is one which we :respectfully submit to the attention of the proprietors of 700 or 800 millions of stock. It is for them to consider how their di vidends, amounting to 27 millions annually, :are to be provided for out of the 30 mil lions, after the army, navy, and other pub lic establishments are paid—establishments now costing not much less than twenty millions. We presume that the fundholders will not be well satisfied to look for their interest to the minus quantity. Let us, however, that we may not be supposed to be trifling upon an imaginary hypothesis, quote the very words of the or gan of the League :—" A heavy land-tax would not be felt by industry, and land is the fit test of all subjects for taxation. In all coun tries but England the greater part of the ex penses of government are thrown, and very properly thrown,_ upon the land." Th e pro pounder of this doctrine does not explain why land is " the fittest of all subjects of taxation." For ourselves we think that, in the matter of taxa tion, there is a very remarkable agreement of expediency and right, and that the fittest subject of taxation is always that from which taxes may be most easily collected. The reference to other countries would be of more value if we could find that on the whole these other countries are more happy, more free, or richer than ourselves, or generally more prosperous; that the reverse the truth seems to be au argument in favour of the English scheme, under which, though land is heavily enough taxed, it does not bear the whole of the public burthen. The main question is, however, after all, the practicability of the new agrarian, or rather Helot, plan, by which the agriculturists are to be made the slaves of the community—the Decurions of the lower empire, compelled to pay in taxes more than the value of all their possessions phis the value of all their labour. ,_ We humbly hold the opinion that the Leaguemen themselves cannot make thirty, fifty, and that, if they should succeed, which is not very likely, in carrying- their scheme into execution, the fundholders must go to the wall : in truth, from the first and throughout, the fundholders have been the parties principally in danger. Other classes, however, beside the landholders and fundholders have, we submit, a very considerable interest in a scheme for the destruction of the chief purchasers and employers throughout the country. Letters from CM THE CHICHESTER BANK.-- cheater give the result of the meeting held there yester , bankers of that day in the matter of Ridge and C o. town. It was a preliminary meeting for the choice of assignees and proof of debts, and it app eared from a rough statement made to the Comm is sioners, that the engage ments of the Bank were about 150,000 1., to meet which there were 54,0001. assets, made up of items, includin h and short bills in the house, securities, and surplu s pay for separate estates.

(Sittings at Nisi Prius at Guildhall, before Lord DENMAN and a Special Jury.) HUTTON AND OTHERS V. BARNET. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) It was then proposed to tender evidence of the loss sustained, by reference to the accounts kept by the Cap tain ; but Lord Denman thought it would be better to leave that matter to arbitration, taking the opinion of the Jury as to whether the plaintiffs were entitled to re cover or not. If the Jury was of opinion that the plain tiffs were entitled to recover, the damages could be very properly referred. Mr. KELLY then addressed the Jury for the defendant. He could net view without indignation the attempt making by the plaintiff to recover so exorbitant an amount of damages. In the present case the defendant, in the regular course of business, sold 400 muskets of a particular description ordered, as he was prepared to prove. The price paid for them was about 180 L, and of that number somewhere about me hundred were returned as being unsaleable, the value of which was between 401. and 501., and the plaintiffs instead of claiming the difference in value between these muskets and sound ones, which might be something between 10L and 20L—instead of claiming the full value of the muskets sent back, they ask the jury to give them a sum of nearly 700/. He be lieved the good sense of the jury would at once scout so preposterous a doctrine as that the plaintiffs were to be paid for the probable profits they might have realized under certain circumstances. He would now call their attention to the contract, and he would be able to show them that the defendant had committed no breach of contract whatever. He would show, by the evidence of persons long connected with the trade, that the defendant had executed the order accord ing to the usual and mercantile meaning attached to it. The order did not specify any particular musket, and the price being such as indicated an inferior description, the defendant supplied the .quality answering to that price. There were two classes of Tower guns, and when the best quality was not specified, and the price, as he had said, at least is. each below that at which they could be sold, he would show that it was the custom to send the inferior description. Hampden S. Priddie—l am foreman to the defendant. I have been so for ten years. He supplies the Ordnance and East India Company, and is one of the largest con tractors in the trade. There are long aad short Tower guns, and second-hand Towers. We send large quanti ties of guns to the African market, In 1838 the price of second-hand Towers was 9s. to 9s. 6d., and the new ones were 10s. We have frequently spliced the second hand guns below the tail-pipe. We have sent many thousands of them to the African market, and never heard a complaint of them till the present time. The guns supplied to the plaintiffs' order, were second-hand Towers. I inspected them all, and they were every one sound as to the splice. We never supplied any second-hand guns to the plaintiff before, but th e price was lower than we had ever received from him before. We have had transactions with the plaintiff for a considerable period. I have no doubt the guns sent back have been damaged by salt water. When Tower guns were ordered for the African trade I should not understand that new guns were required, That would depend upon the price. We call th e o ld . Government stores second-hand Tower guns. I knew the plaintiffs were engaged in the African trade, but I did not know the guns were wanting for that trade. The guns may be about 15 or 20 years old. As they are now they are fit for no market. George Lovell—l am Government Inspector of small arms for the army, navy, and ordnance. The condemned arms have been sold of late years. Many of the arms, about 30 per cent. of those that have been 10 or 12 years in the service, are spliced. That was authorised by Lord Hill. Even regiments in warm climates have spliced guns, and they stand very well. I examined some of these returned guns. I should say the greater portion have been wetted with salt water. The barrel and lock of the Tower gun is certainly a much better article than the new. Cross-examined--I should not send out spliced guns as new ones to the regiments of the line, but I should to the colonial militia and the secondary service. (The witness was shown some guns, and he said that two had their backs broken and two were doubtful.) Re-examined—These broken backs might have oc curred four or five years ago by carelessness. Mr. Foster—l have been extensively engaged in the African trade, and in shipping guns. I have generally purchased from the present defendant. For 95., in 1838, I should say you must expect an inferior gun. I have frequently sent out of late 9s. guns to the African mar ket. I have heard no complaints. Cross-examined—l do not recollect any guns being re turned two years ago by Mr. G. Smith, of Akra, on the coast of Africa, on account of their being spliced. Mr. Lacy—l have carried on the gun trade thirty-five years, and have shipped guns for every part of the world. I know Tower guns. Many are spliced and second-hand. I have shipped such guns for the coast of Africa. Mr. T. Stewart said he had been in the cavalry, and that spliced guns were used in the regiment. Mr. Priddie recalled, said he had found six, eight, or ten of the guns in Court with broken backs, but they had not been sent in that state from his house. Mr. TUESIGER replied. Lord DENMAN summed up, and concluded by saying, the question for the Jury was, whether or not the article was a fit one fur the African market. The Jury returned a verdict that 110 or 116 of these guns were not fit for the market in question, which was, of course a verdict for the plaintiff. Lord DENMAN then said, with respect to the questipn of damages, the Jury must take into consideration, be sides the price of these unfit guns, all the other losses which the plaintiff had incurred in consequence of this breach of contract, such as the crippling of his trade, ex penses of delay, &c. The Jury returned 1021. Is. 3d. damages. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Dec. 21. (Sittings in London, before the LORD CHIEF JUSTICE and a Special Jury.) LIBEL—PISANI V. LAWSON. The defendant is the responsible printer. and publisher of the Times newspaper, and the plaintiff brought this action to recover damages for alleged libels published in that Journal, and maliciously and injuriously reflecting upon the character and conduct of the plaintiff as chief Dragoman or Interpreter to the British Embassy at Constantinople. The defendant pleaded, first not guilty, and secondly a justification. The ATTORNEY. GENERAL, with whom was Mr. TAL FOURD, stated the case for the plaintiff. He premised that a public Journalist had a perfect right in this coun try, freely to discuss and to comment upon the conduct of public men in public matters, so long as they abstained from specific charges which were false, and from malicious attacks upon private character. Al though he disapproved of the coarse language, and the vague and violent charges which were sometimes intro duced into those discussions, he had always recom mended, and always would recommend, that no notice should be taken of writers who indulged in that way, un less they made some specific charge which admitted of direct disproof. The libels of which the plaintiff now complained conveyed distinct charges of incompetency, dishonesty, and treachery on his part, in the discharge of his duties as a dragoman to the British Embassy. These libels were, to use epithets borrowed from the language of the writer himself, " monstrous and hideous." They appeared in the letters of the Times' Correspondent at Constantinople, in March and April, 1837. The first article commenced with what professed to be an exposition of injudicious and mis chievous policy on the part of Lord Ponsonby, and all preceding Ambassadors from this country to Turkey in the choice of a medium of communication with the Ottoman Porte. That was a fair and proper field of discussion for a public journal, and, if the writer had confined himself to it, without falsely attacking an in dividual, the plaintiff could have had no reason to com plain. But the article stated that the Peraotes, or natives of the suburb Pera of Constantinople, were pro verbially ignorant, dishonest, and treacherous—who made cunning and villany a trade ; that it was from those persons the European States bad all formerly been accustomed to choose their interpreters, but that of late years only the English and the Russian Embassies con tinued to employ them. The writer argued that the consequence was, that the interests of England were sacrificed, and the secrets of our Embassy were sold to Russia. In conclusion, the writer stated that he had the means of producing facts to prove that the Peraotes, who were then acting as the dragomans of our Ambassadors, were incompetent and treacherous, and were sub servient to Russian interest, through the influ ence of their brothers and other relatives, who filled similar situations in the employment of Russia. In the article published in March, the plaintiff, already clearly indicated in the former article, was expressly n surpriseat. named, l.n andtdhai injurious j e t n c h r u e i Gentleman,ined The accused of ignorance and want of probity. tion,lienoawrndeedel in conclusion, expressed his defendant, having pleaded a justifica tion, C av oyunt Alexandlers to offer any evidence in support of such accusations.

Plaintiff's brother was in 1837 c p h e ief in terpreter to the Russian Embassy, and other relations were in the same employment. There could be no doubt that the articles in the Times pointed to his brother. That was generally believed by those who read the Times at Constantinople. He could not say how many, or how few . 2 there were in that city who read the p aper. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL, for the defendant then ad dressed the Jury, contending that the re was nothing in either of the articles in question at all re flecting injuriously upon the plaintiff. The only pas sage which alluded to him directly. was the l ast i n the second article, wherein it was asserted that an English gentleman succeeded in obtaining the firman for the English navigation of the Euphrates, after theT That was had received a di rec t re f usa l from the Divan. a mere statement of fact, conveying no imputation upon the moral character of the plaintiff. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE said it was for the Jury to say whether they believed that the writer of the articles in question had confined himself to the fair discussion of a subject, undoubtedly of very great importance to this country, or had maliciously made that discussion the medium of injuring the character of the plaintiff The Jury, without leaving the box, returned a -verdict for the defendant. SECONDARIES' COURT, Dec. 21. (Before Mr. Secondary JAMES.) LEWER v. RENTALL. Mr. HIIDDLESTONE said this was an action brought by the plaintiff, a furrier, to recover a balance of 12L 10s. 6d. for goods sold and delivered to Moses Rentall, the defendant, a cap-maker. The defendant had pleaded first, infancy ; next, payment ; and next, never indebted. He, therefore, supposed that he should be met by a defence of infancy, but how such a defence could be sustained he was at a loss to imagine, fur the person who had given the order was an old man with a long beard. The learned Gentleman then called the follow ing witnesses : Henry Watman—l live at No. 2, Osborne-place, Brick lane, and am a journeyman furrier, in plaintiff's employ. I know the defendant, Moses Rentall. He is an old man, with a long beard. He is between 60 and 70 years of age. In 1839 defendant and his wife came to plaintiff's shop, and gave an order for brown mock sables. I cannot say the quantity. I cannot tell exactly what. Mr. HUDDLESTONE—What was the quantity ? Mr. PRICE—He has already said twice ho cannot tell you. Mr. HUDDLESTONE—What was the number of mock sables? Mr. PRICE—He has said several times he cannot tell you. Mr. HIIDDLESTONE—I must insist Only right to re peat the question. Mr. Secondary JAMES—You cannot insist on what is irregular, and it is decidedly irregular to put the same question three times over. . . Mr. HUDDLESTONE—I must insist on my right to con duct my examination in my own way, and if my witness does not understand the question, I must repeat it, and with due submission to the Court, I shall do so. I never act irregularly or improperly. Mr. Secondary JAMES—You are acting irregularly and improperly now. It is a great waste of time. Mr. HUDDLESTONE would, notwithstanding, with due submission to the Court, insist on repeating his question. The witness, in answer to the question, again stated he could not tell. He then proved the delivery of cer tain quantities of lamb-skins and mock sables at the de fendant's residence, 22, Bell-lane, and a subsequent ap plication to the defend a nt' s wife for payment, who pro mised to pay as soon as defendant should return. Cross-examined by Mr. PRICE—Saw young Mr. Moses Rentall on these occasions with his mother. Young Mr. Rental! had frequently been in plaintiff's shop with his mother. He appeared about eighteen. He lived in Bell-lane. The mother and son lived together there. Has seen the old gentleman there once ; that was in 1840. has never seen him anywhere except at plain tiff's and in Bell-lane. Cannot rightly say if the old gentleman was living there ; the young gentleman was living there. Tliis was the plaintiff's case. Mr. PRICE said, undoubtedly there was a Mr. Myers Rentall, an old man with a long beard, but he had never anything to do with these transactions. The defendant in this record was Moses Rentall, the young man ; he had been served with the process ; he was a fur-dealer ; he was the defendant in this record, and he (Mr. Price) should prove he was an infant. Dr. Louis Ashenheim was present when the ceremony of circumcision was performed on Moses Rentall in the year 1824. It was performed in due time, and by the Jewish religion it must be performed within eight days of the birth of the child. Witness knows old Mr. Rentall. He is a teacher of Hebrew, and a Rabbi of the Syna gogue; and has never been in trade to witness's knowledge. Mr. PRICE then called Mr. Myers Rentall, and a vene rable patriarchal looking individual, with a long white beard reaching to his waist, entered the box. MT. HUDDLESTONE objected to the examination of the person tendered as a witness, inasmuch as he was the defendant on the record. The witness Watman, on being recalled, and having Mr. Myers Rentall pointed out to him, said, that is the man that gave the order. _ _ Mr. PRICE contended that the old man was a compe tent witness ; he was not the defendant, he had never been served with the process. Mr. Moses Rentall had been served, had appeared to the service, and was, there fore, the defendant. Mr. Secondary JAMES must refuse to examine Myers Rental!, as it appeared from Watman's evidence that he was the defendant. He would, however, make a note on the subject, and give Mr. Price leave to move. Mr. Cohen was called to prove that old Mr. Rental! had never dealt in furs. Mr. Secondary JAMES—That has nothing to do with the question. I have already decided that the old gentle man is the defendant. Mrs. Rentall, the mother of Mr. Moses Rentall, jun., was then tendered as a witness, objected to, and rejected on the same grounds. Mr. lIUDDLESTONE, in reply, expressed his regret at having been, during the progress of the case, led away by his feelings to give utterance to expressions for which he was exceedingly sorry, and for which he begged to apologise to the Court. The Learned SECONDARY acknowledged the apology of Mr. iluddleston, when Mr. PRICE tendered young Moses Rents,ll (a beardless youth) as a witness. Mr. HUDDLESTONE objected. Mr. Secondary JAMES would admit the witness, but would make a note of the objection. The witness then said that Mr. Myers Rentall did not live with him, and had never dealt in fur in his life. That he (witness) was a fur-dealer, that he had ordered the goods in question of plaintiff, and that he had sometimes sent his mother to give his orders to plaintiff The bill produced in plaintiff's hand-writing had been sent to wit ness from plaintiff's shop. Witness had purchased lamb skins and mock sables of plaintiff, and had paid plaintiff money on account of these transactions. Had sent the money by his mother while he was travelling about the country with furs. Had agreed to pay plaintiff 2s. 6d. a week for the debt. Had stopped because he hail no money, and thus this action had been brought against him. Cross-examined—l am 17;3- years of age. I cannot say how many times I went to plaintiff alone. My mother did nct always accompany me. Mr. Secondary JAMES—Were you served with a copy of a writ in this action ?—I was. It was left at my father's house and given to me because it was in my name.—The copy of the writ was then produced. Mr. HUDDLESTONE in reply, said—He would put it to the Jury whether they had ever heard of a more im pudent attempt to cheat a plaintiff out of his money than the defence set up to this action. Mr. Secondary JAMES having summed up, The Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 121. 10s. 6d. MAYBERRY V. LORD WM. PAGET, M.P. This was an action brought to recover the sum of 101 10s. for work and labour done, to which the noble defendant pleaded that he was not indebted to the amount claimed, and that a tender had been made and refused. Mrs. S. Brown deposed that in the month of August, 1839, she was chambermaid at the Custom-house Hotel. She recollected Lord Wm. Paget coming to the house with his son, who was lame, who, when he went away, walked upon crutches ; the child used to call his Lord ship papa. Witness was acquainted with the plaintiff, and saw him several times at the Hotel in his professional capacity. Lord Wm. Paget and his son remained at the Hotel four or five days. The plaintiff visited the child three times the first day, and twice each succeeding day. Lord Wm. Paget appeared exceedingly anxious for the child's recovery. Dr. R. Rowley deposed that the usual fee given to a consulting surgeon was a guinea each visit, he had re ceived that fee. Sir Benjamin Brodie and Mr. Callaway were paid that sum for their visits. Mr. JAMBS—We want to know from you, what in your opinion would be a fair remuneration to the plain tiff for his attendance, as there is no bill of particulars to guide either the Court or the Jury ? Doctor Rowley— If the medical man acted both as an apothecary and sur geon, he is allowed, if he practises as the latter, two guineas for visits by the College of Physicians, indepen dent of the medicine which he may supply. Mr. JAMES—What would be a fair charge for the plaintiff to make for each visit ? Doctor Rowley—He should think 10s. 6d. each visit to be a fair charge. This was the plaintiff's case. Mr. PRICE addressed the Jury on behalf of defendant. His Lordship, he said, had all along been anxious to pay what was a just and reasonable demand, but all the answer he could obtain to this request was the demand of 10 guineas. Send us in a bill of particulars, to this the same answer was returned, pay 10 guineas ; and it was solely on account of this exorbitant demand being made that his Lordship was unable to pay for the atten dance on his child. A very handsome sum had been offered but refused. The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff for 41. 4s. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Dec. 21. IN THE MATTER OF ALEXANDER LEVI NEWTON. The examination of the bankrupt, which had been adjourned from yesterday, was again resumed to-day at two o'clock, at which time the Court was crowded by persons anxious to hear the result. Upon being sworn, he underwent a long examination by Mr. Clarkson with respect to an item which appeared in his books, to the following effect :—" Paid to J. L. the sum of 4371." This sum was the exact amount ne cessary to close an account, but the bankrupt swore that he never saw that item before, neither did he order it to be written. Mr. Edward Herbert deposed that he was in the em ployment of the bankrupt, who distinctly ordered him to .vrite down that particular item ; and upon asking who J. L. was, he replied, " Never mind, write what I tell you." Mr. CLARKSON then proceeded3o examine the bank rupt with respect to certain erasures which were in the cheque-book and ledger, and which the Learned Counsel contended were done to defraud his creditors. It ap peared that he had consigned goods to the value of 1.6001 to his nephew Lewis Arie, who was residing in Kingston, Jamaica ; and altho ug h the account, as entered in his books, showed a balance of 894/. remaining due, yet the bankrupt wrote:the word closed at the foot of the account. In explanation, he said he was not yet aware whether the goods had been sold at a profit or a loss, as he had received no advice from his nephew yet. A conversation then took place between the Court and the Counsel, and, finally, the case was ordered to stand over till to-morrow. IN THE MATTER OF ROWLAND MITCHELL, OF LIME- STREET, MERCHANT. • The bankrupt has been the principal, and now the surviving partner of the house of William Rowland, Samnel Mitchell, and Co., and filled the sit ua ti on o f Di rector of the Bank of England, and Director and Chair man of various Companies. The principal creditors are branches of his own family, to the extent of 200,0001; Messrs. Smith, Payne, and Co., 57,0001., who are covere d by securitie s on valuable West India estates.

Mr. WIGHTE then handed in the balance-sheet, and the assignees having expressed their satisfaction in the accounts, the bankrupt passed his final examination.

Henry Ames, a solicitor's clerk, was yesterday brought before Mr. JARDINE, upon a warrant, charged with hav ing, on the goth instant, at the chambers of Mr. Sergeant Merewether, threatened to murder his son, and also with using threatening language to Mr. Turner, solicitor, of Bedford-row, in whose service he had been as clerk. Mrs. Rebecca Knott stated that on Monday the prisoner came to the Sergeant's chambers, about twelve o'clock, inquiring for Mr. H. Merewether, and being told he was out of town but would return in a short time, he said he wanted to see him, as he had got a situation to go to, but Mr. Turner refused to give him a character, that some thing must be done between Mr. Merewether and Mr. Turner to get him into a situation, or he would murder them both. Witness said " You talk like a madman ;" upon which he replied, " I don't care, as I am driven to desperation. I don't mind if lam served as the man was at Newgate this morning. The law shall not protect them, for my arm can do more than the law." Mr. JARDINE inquired if he used the expression in a quiet manner ?—Witness replied he was greatly excited, and complained of the distress of his family, and parti cularly of the present condition of his wife. Mr. JARDINE asked if she had known him on any former occasion ?—Witness said she had known him, when he was in the service of Mr. Turner, come to the Sergeant's chambers. Prisoner—Did I not inform you that Mr. Turner re fused to give me a character, or I would be in a situation yesterday? Witness—Yes, you said you could take a situation of 30s. a week, had not a character been refused to you. Mr. Turner said, as reference had beed made to Mr. Merewether, he deemed it necessary to explain that it was not on that gentleman's account the prisoner had been discharged from his service. He had been his clerk until the month of July last, when he was discharged, and since that time he had repeatedly applied for a cha racter, which witness refused to grant, and in several of the letters he used threats, of which no notice was taken until Monday, when he was advised by a friend to take the present proceedings against hi m . Prisoner—Did I not repeatedly request an interview in my letters, which you refused to grant ? Witness—l have already refused it, and will still refuse to give you a character. Prisoner—Did I not point out the distress of my family ? Witness—Yes, and I felt most poignantly- for the distress I understood your wife was labouring under. Prisoner—Do you really believe you are in danger of your life from me ? Witness—Yes, from what I have known you to do on a former occasion. Mr. JARDINE said that no master could be expected to give a character under such circumstances, and the steps taken by the complainant to prevent a recurrence of such conduct were very proper. The prisoner then went into a lengthened account of the distress of his family and his wife, who was about to be confined, and be could not be blamed for the course he had adopted to gain an interview with Mr. Turner, through whom he had lost several situations, but he pro tested there was no danger to be apprehended from violence. Mr. JARDINE considered there was much danger to be apprehended, and the prisoner should put in bail, himself in 401., and two sureties in 20/. each, to Iceepithe peace for two months. The prisoner was then removed from the bar. WORSHIP-STREET. RIDING DOWN THE POLICE.—Mr. John Grimley, a master plumber, living at Edmonton, was charged with having driven his horse and gig among a file of police men, whereby three of them had sustained various injuries. Sergeant Peck, No. 7, stated, that, at nine o'clock on the preceding evening, he was passing along Stoke- Newington-road, with a body of policemen, who were on their way to their respective beats for the night, when the prisoner, who was driving his horse and gig in the same direction, overtook them, and drove in amongst them. One of the policemen was knocked down by the horse, and the wheels of the gig passed over him, and two other men were slightly injured. He considered that the act was a wanton one, as the road was at least twelve yards wide, and there was no other vehicle near the spot. The prisoner was intoxicated at the time of the occurrence. In answer to a question from the Magistrate, the Ser geant said, that the relief parties of police were in the habit of walking in the road by direction of the Com missioners, in order that they might pass along without causing any obstruction to passengers on the footway. Mr. BINGHAM said, he should order the prisoner to pay a fine of 60s. for assaulting the police, together with 40s. for incautious and negligent driving. The fines were immediately paid. A donation of 10/. from the Goldsmith's Company has been received by the Magistrates, for the relief of the distressed and deserving poor of the district. ELECTION OF COMMON COUN CILMEN. WARD OF FARRINGDON WITHOUT. Mr. WELLS (in continuation from our After noon Edition) said—He would now come to the old topic—the guzzling of the Committees. The first was the Irish Society, the income of which was 13,0001., out of which 7,000/ had been spent in a law suit. The whole amount of the money paid for the estate was originally out of ,the pockets of the Citil'ens of London, but they did not get one farthing of the produce. The Members' attendances upon that Committee amounted to 4411. The Bridge House Committee was between 2001. and 3001., yet not content with that, they applied to the Court for one hundred pounds more, all to be spent in eating and drinking. The Learned Gentleman proceeded in this strain through all the paid Committees, and charged the proceedings as disgraceful. He then came to his own conduct upon the Corn-laws. Although great fault had been found with his vote on that question, he declared he ab horred and detested the Corn-laws —(Cheers and laughter)—but he did not think they were taking the proper way to remedy the evil. His remedy was to seek for cheap Government—(Laughter) —by taking off the window tax—(Laughter)—and other taxes, which would enable us to grow corn cheap ourselves.— (Laughter.) He would quote a very few words, which were written by Mr. Cobbett in 1831. He said, so long as fifty millions must be paid in taxes, there must be depression in trade. We were now paying more, yet he believed the depres. sion of trade was as great then as now.— (Cries of " No, no.") He was in favour of altering the represent ation, and of shortening the duration of Parliaments, but he thought we ought to look to those measures and the lightening of taxation for a remedy for the distress. —(Laughter and hissing,) It had been said, get rid of the squirearchy—now it was to be borne in mind that that class of the community were frequent visitors to, and spent considerable sums in London, much of which probably found its way into Fleet-street. and its neighbourhood.—(Question, question.) He had not asked for a vote, but it they chose to return him, he would honestly perform his duty, and he thought they ought not to part with old friends who had served them, merely because they differed upon a question which hap pened to be the one in fashion at the moment.—(Hisses.) Sir J. WILLIAMS agreed with Mr. Wells upon the necessity of a large reform in the Court of Common Council, and on that ground had voted for him last year; but now, although he would not oppose any one because they happened to differ upon some small points— because that would not be liberal—(Hear, hear)--still if he differed from any one upon an essential point —say if they differed upon religious liberty —if he had twenty hands he would hold every one up against that man— (Loudcheers)— so again if the question upon which they differed was that of the freedom of a Briton. Now, in his opinion, the Corn-law question was one which had become of equal importance--(Loud cheering)—for if they did not maintain the animal frame, liberty would be of but little use.—(Great cheering.) He acknowledged that his opinions had undergone a change upon the question, but so had the times and circumstances of the country. He would like to see written up in every place of elec tion, the advice to the elector to ask himself, "is the man whom I am going to vote for fit to represent my opinions —if he throws obstacles in the way of providing food for the poor, he must misrepresent me." Each elector ought to put the question to himself. He recollected a story of a brewer being introduced to a clergyman, and the friend who did so solicited the clergy man's custom for his friend, saying, he was a very good and gracioui man; but, said the clergyman, is he a very good and gracious brewer ?—(Laughter.) So ought they all to ask themselves of the candidate bafore voting, as to his fitness to represent them upon a great and vital question as the Corn-laws had now become. Mr. PROCTOR said, Mr. Wells had been very abusive of some of his late colleagues for guzzling, as he called it. Now, he wished to ask Mr. Wells, whether he ever knew one of them to descend from his position as Common Councilman, and ask a servant of the Lord Mayor for an invitation to dinner. (Laughter.) Mr. WELLS had expected the question, and was glad it had been asked. He had been frequently asked by the late Lord Mayor to dinner, but he had never gone. One day, while he was sitting in one of the writing rooms, the swordbearer passed through, and jocularly charged him with neglecting them, in never dining at the Mansion-house. He (Mr. Wells), in the same strain, said he was never invited now. The answer was, "It is no use —you never come." To which, he said, " Try me ;" and that was the whale affair.—(Laughter.) Mr. SEELEY agreed with Sir James Williams in the principles he had laid down, but not in their application. His deliberate opinion was that, when corn here was scarce and high, we should have a low duty, and when we had plenty and the prices low, the duty should be higher and go to the revenue. He was of opinion that a sliding-scale was for the good of the country, provided the averages were fairly taken.—(Cries of " No, no," and hissing.) He did not see the necessity of turning away many of their friends, who had served them for from 10 to 15 y ears, merely because they could not agree with them upon a question which divided the whole country. Mr: WOOD was one who never would exact a pledge except when a great principle was at stake. The ques. tion they were now discussing was a great principle, for it was no less than should this country maintain the point of supremacy she had now arrived at, or should they lose that proud position and maintain the Corn-laws ?—(Loud cheers.) Considering the question of so much importance, it of course became a matter of importance to consider whether the gentleman, who re presented him in the Common Council—who represented that which was necessary for his business—nay, for the very existence of his family—actually held his, or oppos ing, opinions upon that question ; and if the latter, al though he had frequently dined with them, and they were very good friends, he would feel bound to oppose them, for he could not afford to give up a great public principle.—(Cheers.) After some other speeches, for which we cannot find space at present, a show of hands took place, which was declared to be in favour of the following gentlemen : viz., Messrs. Taylor, Woollat, Redford, Barnard, Stone, . Gresham, Obbard, Burn, Edkins, Ramshaw. Charles, Anderton, Pierce. Loudon, Prendergast, and Williams. There were twenty-one candidates, of whom six were new—viz., Messrs. Stokes, Stone, Pierce, Loudon, Pren dergast, and Williams. A poll was demanded, on behalf of the candidates excluded by the show of hands, which is to close on Thursday, at two o'clock. BISHOPSG ATE WARD. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) The respective candidates addressed the meeting, Mr. Deputy STEVENS said, that during the time hebad been in the Common Council, which was near about 20 years, he had always voted in favour of every Liberal question.—(Hear, hear.) He had opposed many extra ordinary measures, but he did not know that there was ever one brought before the public of greater importance than the question of the bread-tax.—(Loud cries of Hear.") He had been in the habit of collecting a deal of that tax, and knew a little of the proceedings of the gentlemen at the Corn market, and he was able to say, that a more shameful system of gambling did not exist in any place. —( Hear.) It was monstrous that the staff of life should be subject to those gentlemen who bore down the averages just as it suited their pockets. For months past ship loads of corn had come to this coun try, which was now lodged in warehouses under the Queen's lock, because of those laws.—(Hear.) Such a state of things could not last, but he assured them that he would do his utmost in the Common Council to get rid of those laws by which the supply of food was restricted. Mr. Wm. JONES said that he would give his utmost support in favour of a motion in the Common Council for the repeal of the Corn-laws.—(Applause.) Messrs. Filcher, Patten, and Tagg, gave similar pledges. Mr. GIBSON, a Tory, said that he did not sufficiently understand the question of the Corn-laws, but it should have his serious consideration.—(Laughter.) Mr. WELcm, another Tory, also said that the question should be considered by him ; and Mr. RODGER, also a Tory, stated that he would sup port a proposition for a moderate fixed duty, with a view to the ultimate repeal of the Corn-laws.—(Cheers.) Messrs. Carr, Thomas, and Barker, promised to give all their opposition to the Corn-laws. Mr. WILKINsoN said that for many years he had been ' opposed to the Corn-laws, but his opinions were now more strongly in favour of their repeal.—(Cheers.) After a number of other candidates had spoken, the show of hands was taken for the candidates, when Messrs. Peacock and Stevens (Deputies), Wilkinson, Howell, Tagg, Patten, Jones, Thomas, Gibson, Bennett, Filcher, Barker, Johnson, and Hall, were declared by the Chair man elected. A poll was then demanded for Messrs. Rodgers, Welsh, and Mattheson, which was granted. The Chairman appointed the poll to take place from four to five o'clock, and on the two following days. ALDGATE WARD. The election of Common Council - nen and other officers of the above ward commenced yesterday in the auction room of Messrs. Wheeler, Leadenhall-street. The chair was taken by John Humphery, Esq., Al derman of the ward, at twelve o'clock. The precept for the election having been read, the CHAIRMAN said that they had met to perform one of the ancient privileges of the City, that of electing eight gen tlemen, inhabitants of the ward, to fill the offices of Com mon Councilmen. One gentleman, Mr. Wheeler, who had been elected last St. Thomas's Day, had retired, and it was now the duty of the wardmote to elect another to fill up the vacancy, and also such others to represent the ward in the Court of Common Council as they should think fit. Mr. BLISSETT proposed Mr. Robinson as a proper person to fill the vacancy in the representation of the ward, and said that he (Mr. Robinson) would be found to possess such principles as, in their exercise, would be greatly beneficial not only to the ward, but to the City generally. The nomination having been seconded, Mr. J. Jerome, of Fencburch-buildings, was pro posed by Mr. Lawrence and seconded by Mr. Dodd. The latter gentleman said that Mr. Jerome being a man of property, would have plenty of time to attend to the interests of the ward; besides he was a gentleman who was favourable to free trade, and a decided opponent of the Corn-laws. The names of the gentlemen who served the office of Common Councilman for the last year, and also the two new candidates, having been put to the vote, Mr. Robin son was declared to have lost by a show of hands. A poll was then demanded, which commenced at two o'clock, and closed for the first day at four, when the numbers were declared to be as follows: — Mr. Edward Fisher ... 11 Mr. J. F. Salter 9 Mr. Benjamin Massey 10 Mr. J. Lake Mr. W. Simpson ll Mr. J. Jerome ...... 8 Mr. R. B. Whiteside l2 Mr. E. Robinson 5 Mr. W. Green (Deputy) 13 The poll will be re-opened at one o'clock this day, and close at four ; open again at one o'clock to-morrow, and finally close at four. LIME-STREET WARD. The four Common Councilmen of last year for this ward were again returned without opposition. • WARD OF CHEAP. Yesterday, at ten o'clock, a wardmote of the above ward was held at the church-yard of St. Lawrence Jewry, to elect Common Councilmen and other ward officers for the year. William Thompson, Esq., M.P., Alderman, presiding. In addition to the eight candidates Mr. Pend offered himself, and at the close of the poll the numbers stood as under : Mr. Brooks (Deputy). 17 Mr. Penning l4 Mr. Ganthony l4 Mr. Watson l5 Mr. Hardwick Mr. Hickson l6 Mr. Oliver Mr. Pead The other officers having been previously returned, the wardmote was adjourned until to-day. CORDWAINERS' WARD. Thomas Wood, Esq., Alderman of this ward, presided. The following Gentlemen were elected as Common Councilmen :--Messrs. Muddell (Deputy), Croucher, Joyce, Lott, Jolliffe, and Williams, the latter in the room of Mr. Jones, who has left the ward. WARD OF ALDERSGATE. The election of Common Councilmen for the ward of Aldersgate took place this day ; and, after a discussion on the subject of the Corn-laws, the last year's list of Common Councilmen was adopted, with the exception of Mr. Rolls, who resigned, and Mr. W. M. Wood was elected in his place. WARD OF FARRINGDON WITHIN. Yesterday a Wardmote of Farringdon Within was held in the old hall of the College of Physicians, Ivy lane, Newgate-street. Aldermen Kelly presided. The names returned by the several precincts having been read. Mr. WENTWORTH proposed Mr. Eagleton, of New gate-street. Mr. SURRIDGE then came forward to propose Mr. Taylor, and observed, that the country had now arrived at a crisis when something must be done. Wherever they looked the only prospect was one of dreadful dis tress, the effects of the accursed Corn-laws.----(Hear, hear.) Mr. Taylor was one who had studied them more than any other gentleman in the room, and they would find him, if chosen, an active advocate for their repeal. Mr. LEAF seconded the nomination. Mr. Thomas having been proposed and seconded, Mr. STEIL, of Faternoster-row, proposed Mr.G.Virtue. Mr. TAYLOR then rose, and was loudly cheered. He observed that the question of free trade had always been one which he had supported. He had ever advocated the downfal of m mopolies, and, above all. the atrocious monopoly of the Provision. laws. In the address which he had issued he had alluded to the existing monopoly. It was upon those opinions that he was called upon to stand before them, and those only : and, if elected, he would do all he could to further their repeal. Mr. THOMAS was also in favour of the repeal of the Corn-laws. Mr. THOMPSON was anxious to support the manufac turing interest, but he also thougli i t the agricultural interest should be protected. He thought a great alte ration in the Corn-laws must be made. Mr. HAYWARD would not lend himself to political questions, as he did not consider the Court of Common Council a political Court. Mr. RIDLEY said the great question of that day was the opinions retained on the existing Corn-lows. He was sorry this had been made a political question ; for his own part, he had always considered them to be con trary to the laws of God, as they ought to be to the laws of man. Mr. BONSOR had always been for the repeal of the Corn-laws, whether in voting for a Member of Parlia ment or a Common Councilman. Mr. MORRIS was opposed to the Corn-laws. Mr. Deputy WEsTwoon considered the Corn-law a wicked law, a law against God and nature. He could not see that it was made for any other purpose than the support of the rich. These laws ought to be repealed, and he hoped the agitation would effect it ; for it could not be expected that those who made the laws would re peal them.—(Hear, hear.) After the other candidates had spoken, generally de precating the Corn-laws, Mr. Alderman KELLY having called for a show of hands, it was taken, and was against Messrs. Emerson, Thompson, Rutter, and M'Loughlin. A poll was then demanded, and at its close was as follows : Mr. Deputy Prichard 24 Mr. Morris lB Mr. Dep. Westwood. 23 *Mr. Eagleton Mr. Ridley 24 Mr. Wheelton 7 Mr. Bonsor 23 Mr. Hayward 6 Mr. Holt 23 Mr. Emerson Mr. Ashurt ............ 22 Mr. Hartley *Mr. Thomas ........... 20 Mr. Rutter 5 *Mr. Virtue ............ 19 Mr. M`Loughlin 4 *Mr. Taylor ............ 19 Mr. Thompson 2 Those marked (*) are new candidates. Alderman KELLY said the poll would continue open till three o'clock on Thursday. The wardmote was then adjourned. BREAD•STREET WARD. Mr. Alderman Lainson presided. For the office of Common Council there were two vacancies, by the retirement of Messrs. Buckland and Williams. to fill which there were three new candidates, Messrs. Poland, Hawtrey, and Cope. A show of hands having been taken, a poll was demanded by Mr. John Pelham Buckland, secoaded by Mr. Pring, in favour of Mr. llawtrey ; by Mr. Bousfield, seconded by Mr. Crookall Hooper, in favour of Mr. Cope ; and by Mr. Dimes, seconded by Mr. Keith, the music -seller, in favour of the eight candidates having the largest show of hands ; namely, Mr. Deputy Bridge, Messrs. William and John Lawrence, Maugham, Davison, Kipling, Po land, and Hawtrey. The routine business of the ward having been gone through, the poll was taken, when the numbers appeared at the close to be as follows :—Mr. Deputy Bridge (Con servative), 14 ; Mr. William Lawrence (Reformer), 12 ; Mr. John Lawrence (R), 12 ; Mr. Maugham (C), 13 ; Mr. Davison (C), 13 ; Mr. Kipling (R), 13 ; Mr. Po land (C), 14 ; Mr. llawtrey (C), 8 ; Mr. Cope (C), 6. The poll re- o p ens thi s d ay at twe l ve o'clock, and is to close finally at two o'clock, when the successful candi dates will be declared. FROM LAST NIGHT'S GAZETTE WHITEHALL, DEC. 20, 1841.

The Colonial Markets will close on Thursday for the Christmas holidays ; and business will not be resumed until the 4th of January. SUGAR.—The West India market was very dull to day, the attention of the buyers being directed to the public sales of Bengal, and the few transactions that took place were at rather lower prices than accepted at the close of the market on Friday last. 50 hhds Trinidad were offered by public auction, and bought in above the value at 60s to 63s for middling greyish yellow, and at 58s for low yellow.
