MORNING EDITION SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. vane: THE DAILY PAPERS OF SATO lI.DAY. CUMIN ICLE.—Did .see not take Sir Robert Peel's mea sute to aliehs when we ILA%hat he knew no higher standard of eloqueru;e than to quote Irons Hansard, no higher standard of statseeriensitip than to puzzle friend and foe alike to guess his next move t' His speech, as we predicted, carefully avoided all refererictete the real question at issue, and confined itself to a barren ditpiay of constitutional pedantry. He told the House what Pitt had done in 178-4, but he did not tell it what Sir It. .'Pool meant to do in 18-11—a question of far other and deeper importauce. Whet is it to the country . whether the conduct - of Ministers is in strict accordance with the rules of Parlia mentary etiquette observed during the party fights of Whig and Tory, in the good old days of boroughmengery ? It so happens that it is in complete accordance with the strictest constitu tiered precedent, as Mr. Macaulay unanswerably demon strated. But what if it had been otherwise ? What the coun try really cares for is, to get mea•ures passed which are indis pensable to save its foreign trade from ruin, to restore its de caying manufactures, to relieve its suffering population, to re emit ite fi •ancee without resortieg to new taxation. Such • meetures Ministers have proposed. They are opposed by the Torins The leader of the Tory party, the man who—if the Tories obtain a majority at the coming election—will be Prime _Minister of England—proposes a vote of censure upon Minis • tree , for having dared to propose such measures ; and yet he tines so suc a manner as to leave his own friends in doubt whether hit first step on obtaining possession of office would not be to bring forward measures the very same in principle as those whit:hint now opposes. As Lord Worsley well remarked, what security have the agriculturists that he will not alter the Coro.laws, when they see Sir G. Murray, a leading member of his late Cabinet, seeking the suffrages of the electors of Man chester, upitu the assurance that he is favourable to a low fixed duty on corn—when they saw last year his brother-in law, Mr. Dawson, ready to throw the Corn-laws overboard altoteether. •or the sake of catching a d zen or two of votes at Devonpoi t ? On the other hand, wat security have the manu facturers that their interests will not be remorselessly sacrificed lo the fears and prejudices of the Tory landowners, when they cee nu n, high in rank and station in the party. like my Lord elexiesdele, rising in the House of Lords, and without one word of contradiction, aS , CI tin: that the whole Anti-Corn-law agita tion was nothing more nor less than a conspiracy on the part of the wealthy manufacturers to get possession of the principal landed estates in the country, by foreclosing the mortgages on teem ? eetween the rabid Toryism of such men as Lord Redesdale and the lukewarm liberality of a Conservative candi date for a matiufaeturing town there is a wide interval. At what particular point between these opposite poles Sir Hobert Peel proposes to take his stand is a question which it is of unportanca for the nation to know, and which 3t is utterly impossible for any one so much u to conjecture. Sir Robert Peel asks, " Where is the man who has more ex plicitly declared than I have his opinion upon all the great ques t that hue been under the consideration of Parliament?" 'We mower—where is the great question upon which a single man in' the country knows which side yon will be found noon • Ithes time next year ? Will you be for the Corn-laws? Your .Ist.icultirral supporters shake their heads. and whisper doubts. you be for excluding slave sugar? Your West India friends believe so; but belicee and tremble. Will you be for renewing the Poor-law Commission ? Mr. Walter vibrates between hopes and fear. Will von be for or against free trade, for or against a revision of the tariff, for or against a loan, for or against new taxes—in a word, what single ques tion is there, down to that of letting Reargue O'Connor esat of gaol, upon, which any man, woman, or child in the British dominions can say with the slightest approach to confidence, whether ; upon the 30th day of May, I el-12, Sir Robert Peel will be fin- or against POST.—The Mini.try cannot be too thankful to Lord Worstey. Hitherto it has been thought the height and crown hie, of self-sacrifice that a man should !ay down his I.fe for his friends ; but Levi Worsley has sacrificed fur his friends that ,which an English gentleman holds dearer than his life, namely, his reputation. Two days ago his Lordship stood in a high position. What is he now ? 'f he leader of the political trim mers among the country gentlemen of England.. The change is a most wretched one, and it was most uniair and uugenerous on the part of tho Government, or any friend of the Govern, merit, to work upon the vveaknessof Lord Worsley, and to bring hint into this fallen condition. Is it possible that the Noble Lora forgot the nature of the position which lie did o ccupy alien he eon;entred to become a leading trimmer? It is all eery well for a certain class of persons in public life, who heir a close analogy to a disreputable class in private life, erephateelly acid to " live be their wits"—it is all very well e:wit men to display their` cleverness in reconciling different eourses of comitue, which to ordinary eyes seem inconsistent, and only to be accounted for in the changing positions of ,olf interest. They show their cleverness, and they get their re ward, wash, however convenient and agreeable foe theta, cer tainly does not consist. of public esteem. Bat English country gentlemen, of the rank and station of Lord Worsley, generally hold themselves above this Iseculiar species of ingenuity. It is not usual fir them to desire a reputation for splitting halts, and discovering refinements by which truth and untruth may he brought very near one 'another. Lord Worsley may set up . for the future as one who can find out nice distillations. He cut appear , among his country constituents as though Le were thoroughly and earnestly indig nant at the conduct of the Administratiole and within a leer days lie can explain in the House of Commons that, notwith standing all this and all lie bad said to support that appearalee, he had not absolutely and verbally eecluded himself from giving his aid to keep the . eadneiniscratian in office. No doubt this pleading. is very ingenious, very clever, and would go far towards making Lord Worsley's fortune if he were, like !r. Horsrean or Mr. Macaulay, one who " lacked advancement." Bat this is not his 4ship's position, and we do not think he has done well to srslsitige the open, manly, straightforward character of an English county representative for that peculiar species of dexterity which is found useful to political adventurers. HE RA LD.—At the close of the second evening of the debate on Sir Robert Peel's " resolution," we are, on a more delibe rate eonsideration of the form of. the motion, only confirmed in the opinion with which its terms impressed us on their first enunciation. The object of the =doe is, that the House of Covninoter should record, by solemn vote, its " want of corti - dente, in -the present advisers of the Crown." If no other good were to result front the diteussion of such a proposition it wottld have done this service at any rate—that it had applied a severe. a ero'eing, an unfailing te-t to the political sincerity of its: oppownts and of supporters. Already it has coin pel.ed more than one impromptu convert to tee doctrine , of a Cont , crvative pothes of justice asd protection—to the inter, eta of tlinnestic and coconiel agriculture—to dud' the flimsy disguise in which he had arrayed himself as an antagonist of the Govern- Lord Worley (we must presume) is but little aeeus toured to _ _ _ . lilt nt.. " Do good by stealth, ant blush to• find it fame ;" for th flpulaus , r of his country constituents at the stand he my:).tust Ministers on the Sug3r Duties question, and for uncompromicing resistance he menaced them with -7. the Corn-law alteratious, had scaratly yet r1:11..m. in a fit of remorse, or of I astonishment, at Ineing himself in so becoming a position, he stood forward on Thursday night to declare that he could not dream of concur ring in Mote of want of confidence. He could not, forsooth. be any party to such a condemnation of the very Government which hail meoetscl, and been beat upon, the Sugar duties question—wiiich had mooted also, and will also be beaten upon, the anti-Conn-law rest lotions l What there was about the Government of Thureday eight of anti-agricultural and anti- Briteh policy, which there seas not on the last night of the debate on Lord Sandon's motit'i, for which his Lordship voted, it surpasses our ingenuity to ctiecover. Will Lord Wors ley venture to tell the county of Lincoln what the new light was which had meanwhile thus suddenlyetewned upen him ? Was it the storm which had cleared the dense and Oppreesive atmosphere without, that had done a similar service wiesier for the noble Inconstant? Mr. Ingham, too, avowed himself last night one of these et-I -hand " who. after the fashion of the eat-Member for Ipswich, Mr Gibson, are seized, at any moment they cheese to call for it, with a vision of the necessity for repudiating their last recorded political principles and connections. Perhaps the rebuke of Lord Sendon, from its hottest and forcible application, may induce the Hen. and Learned Gentleman to reeennsider his extreme "subtleties," and finalise to vote as lie Noted on Lord Sandon's motion the other night. It will be but a consistent inconsistency in a Member of the new school of political ethics, the doctrines of which are so little reducible to the standard of ordinary philosoph . TlMe:S.—Men who have outlived their character have in sonni respects a great advantage over the rest of the world. In the first plate, nothing conies amiss from them ; however base their conduct, it surprises nobody, but is received as a mere matter of cuerse, with the apathy with which we are ac cuetomed to show to the everyday occurrences of life. It is like a November fig, or a Juiy frost. in London ; men light their candles or put on their great coats, but never think of abusing the tile - tate. 'thorough-bred political dishonesty, and the abandonment of self.respect, are robur et ces triplex to a public man in the nineteenth century. It is with this reflec tion Caere' !test upon our minds that we have risen from the perusal of the speech delivered ley Sir Robert Peel on Thursday night. A more unanswerable review of constitutional precedents and doctrines, or a more search hie exposure of the contrariety between these prece dents and doctrines and the conduct of Lord Melbourne's Government, it would be impossible to conceive. Every part of history which could in any way be erought to bear upon the subject. from the accession of the House of Ha nover to the present day, was diligently explored ; every Whig statesman of eminence was called in to bear testimoev against his degenerate followers ; and by the unvarying evidence of history, as well as by the concurrent voices , of all uttered i the great by their own words, n • teen their own party, —nay, times when they had still a character to lose,—the profligate , and imbecile Ministers who are now endeavouring to force on a eol isiiir betwi en Parliament and the Crown, and to obstruct the progress of all legislation for the sake of securing to themselves dinners at Buckingham Palace, and salaries in ' Duo ning- street, were brought to judgment. Dis missing with, 'a vr itherireg ilicated acts of mise,overnmentYentdrapid ,;lance, the corn in.al-adininietration, politi eel, financial, and diplomatic, which a the future historian of the last five years will have to record. with quences, the Right Hon. Baronet confined all their evil conse fined himself to a demon stration of the mere matter of fact stated in his notice of mo tion, "that her Majesty's Minis ters do not sufficiently possess diel the eorence of the House of Commons to enable them to carry through the Ilouse measures which they deem of essen tial - importance to the public welfare," and of the plain n conclusion, from that fact , that " t h e i r continuactirie th i e office tunder such circumstances is at variance l spirit of the Constitution.," Both these propositions he established with such overw helming abundance of proof, that it may be doubted if any criminal o ut ; at the Old Bailey was ever more fully made and the, crushing effect of his arguments and statem ents was heightened by Lis 'total abstinence from those rhetorical artifices and embeliishrnents, which no man better understands how to use epon orseasions then e Sir R. Peel. In this instance, however, he stood forward with that consciousness of irresistible strength, with that well-g-ounded assurance of moral victory, which discards: every thing like exaggeration or subtlety of speech, and feels that the calmest, the most temperate. end the simplest -- s leet had alienist said the dryest—language is the best. He purposely eiiderstated everything—he gave the accused the full benetit of every ques , ionahe point, and offered to make every posbhs allowance fur their conduct; yet, after all these de ductions, he clearly convicted them of the highest political of fence of which British statesmen ran be guilty. The futile at tempts of his mortified antagonists at self-defence, served only t o Amy hew completely the ground was cut away from under their fee.. • ADVERTISER. —Every body is askin. what Sir Lotert Peel, or those whit forced upon him the motion for a rote of oresfidence, could:have expected to gain by the proceeding. The Ministers had already intimated their intention to dissolve, and it watt notorious. that they only awaited the issue of the Corn-law debate, and the winding up of the business of the Seseion, trefultil their purpose. lint all at once Sir Robert Peel, or rather that section of his supporters who have over mastered Sir Robert Peel and his own proper section, were de tencined to bring the matter to an end—in order that the Corn-laws might not be discussed. There is every pro bability that this policy will fail, and that the Govern ment will hive a majority ;: in which case, as we ob served before, the adverse majority on the Sugar Duties will 'be neutralised, the Parliamentary credit of the M i nist"Nr l 4 l ll l lfte l e llit voting is concerned, be rein stat aileks7 enisee men must be a false move , and ~tseemfteire' or dig relit to the Tories. But the mati nee of conducting the Prise sing is as foolish as the proceed iag itself... Sir Robert. Peer quoted the failure of the Govern ment on the famous Approenetion Clause, on the Jamaica Bill , and on the Sugar Duties. e e'fhe first happened in 1635 or J . 36, the second in 1834, ti gtd th e lag in 1841. To say no.- --.......-- thing of the misdoings of Government, if misdoings they were, having been condoned by the majority against the vote of want of confidence last year, we might refer to man y great and use ful measures, of a highly advantageous character, which have been passed at their suggestion and by their ex ertions in the interval, to show that the Government, though not the best of all possible Governments, has yet done a vast deal of good—a vast deal more good, we should observe, than the Tories ever attempted or professed to do. But the matter of • fact is this—that the sins of the Government consist (in the eyes of these Tory objectors), not so much in what they have done as in what they propose to do ; and all the welLknown and welprictised skill of the Tories in party and Parliamentary tactics is now employed with re doubled. zeal to prevent those intentions being manifested in a more distinct form, and still more to prevent that full and en tire vindication andjastification of them, which the talents and energies of the Members of Government are (as the late debate so thoroughly proves) likely to give. The present proceeding is, therefore, simply a trick, just of that sort, teo, which, in jockeying, is resorted to for the purp ose of p reventin g the best horse from winning. GLOBE.—The speech of Mr. Ingham affords shrewd indications of what the Tories have to expect in quar t !rs connected with commerce. The Hon. Gentleman appears to have no mind to present himself anew to the constituency of North Shields, with the stigma of having voted for Sir Robert Peel's motion. He has been in the habit of acting with Opposition on recent occasions ; but he cannot afford to do so now with any satisfaction to himself—or to the worthy and independent electors of the borough of North Shields. This is a salutary symptom of commercial secession from the side of Tory ism ; as was the language of Lord Worsley of agricul tural " want of confidence."—" What security," said the Noble Lord, " have the agriculturists that he will not alter the Corn-laws, when they see Sir George Murray, a leading Member of his late Cabinet, seeking the suffrages of the electors of Manchester, upon the assu rance that he is favourable to a low fixed duty .on corn — when they saw last year his brother-in-law, Mr. Dawson, ready to throw the Corn-laws overboard altogether, for the sake of catching a dozen or two of votes at Devon port ?" Thus, while landed members of the Liberal party have no solid motive for deserting their political friends on the present occasion, mercantile men, even those whose leanings are towards the side of the Opposition, have every motive for postponing party to national and commercial interests. And these symptoms afford the strongest justification of Ministers for the decided course they have now taken on the great questions Wider discussion. That course, as Lord John Russell stated and proved (and as our own Madrid correspondence proved), was not taken on the mere spur of the moment—on the mere impulse of defeat. It was taken on' a deliberate view of the stat e of finance and commerce.. That view had been prepared, and the pub lic prepared to respond to it, by the publication of the valuable Report of the Import Duties Committee. The party in the State who give their support to the pre sent Government rejoice to see its leaders identified with the cause of commercial and industrial freedom. And now, forsooth, it is made an imputation upon their conduct, that they have identified themselves with that cause. It is an unfair advantage that they take of the Opposition—when they agitate the country for free trade in corn, timber, and sugar : If it is an unfair advantage, it is an advantage. How dors that tacit admission con sist with the other charge brought against Ministers, that they have made a chain demonstration in a notoriously loveless cause ? how would it suit :s grind party to identify itself with such a cause The Whigs have been said, of old time, to build walls to knock their own heads against. They did so, much to their honour—but the walls stood—and the Tories finished them ! The firm of Peel, Copley, and Co. contracted fur the work, on the lowest terms, after the Whig buildeni had been unfairly choused out of the job, ; 4 e) it may be on the present occasion ; although we will wish and hope otherwise. If thesubstanee of the present measures is carried, within a short period, a-hoerer is Minister,—the present Ministers will be more than justified for having introduced them as they have &W. wrANDARD.-All the arguments of the Ministerial speakers in the debate commenced on Thursday go to es tablish this one position—that it is no longer necessary for the Ministers of the Crown to possess the confidence of the House of Commons ; and the Reform Bill it is which is thUs charged with having deprived the people of any eflieieut share in directing the government of the country. Years hove passed since Sir Robert P eel pre dicted that he and his friends would have to defend the subvtance of the Reform Bill against the assaults of its author, and often within those years has he nobly realised the prediction : at present, his honourable task is to defend not only its substance, but its character. If the effect of the Reform Bill has been to enable the Crown to continue an AdMinistration in which the representatives of the people repose no trust, then 1.4 the Reform Bill the most fatal inroad upon na tional. liberty that ever was made, or even attempted, in this country. A remark of the Duke of 'Welling ton, directed against the Bill in question has been, we know, quoted in support of the hypothesis , that the Reform Rill has wrought the deadly tinge assigned to it. "How ," asked the illustrious Duke, 4 1.$ the King's Government to be carried on after you have passed this Bill ?" What was the answer ? Did any of the sup , porters of the Reform Bill say, " As it may please the King, without regard to the will of the representatives of the people ?" Oh no ;if such had been the answer, the doom of the Reform Bill had been sealed on the instant. The reply, and, as we thought at the time, and stil l think, the satisfactory and conclusive reply, was, "That the Kings of the line of Hanover may be trusted as wishing to govern well, and the people of England may be trusted as not disposed to vexatiously, or- perversely', embar rass a good Government." Certain it is, that no wp norter of the Reform Bill dared to threaten from it a 'Government carried on in defiance of the manifest distrust of the HouSe of Commons. That the Duke of Welangton himself contemplated no such outrage upon the Constitution. is proved by the form - of kts question ; still more clearly proved by his resign&tion upon- the very first refusal of the House of Commons to sanction a measure proposed by the Government of which he , was a member. His Grace, no doubt, overrated the danger of the Reform Bill ; but this was a very,different thing. from recommending an implicit adoption of that, the worst consequence of which he thought he foresaw as certain to flow from it. The course of events has proved that the illustrious Duke was in error in his distrust of the good sense of the people of England. The late elections have shown that Englishmen know the value of g ood government, and the evil of that government which - is not good ; and let a general election come to-morrow, and it is by no doubtful return, by no "measuring-cast majority," that the people will ensure to themselves the benefit of good zwernment. MONEY IVTARKET and CITY NEWS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF SATURDAY. CHRONICLE.—The funds have been firm to-day, but the transactions were limited. We continue to receive very gloomy accounts of the state of trade in the mainfacturing district,. The operatives are in the greatest possible distrstss, and the millowners working half time. Were it not for the prepitious weather, and the pro spects of an abundant harvest, apprehensions are entertained that the endurance of the people would be soon exhausted. The accession of the monopolists to power under these circum stances would produce discontent and alarm in the country that cannot be contemplated without great uneasiness. if they were to come into office after having expounded the plans be which they propose to relieve the financial crisis, which is on all hands admitted to exist, the possible success of their efforts to overthrow the present Government might be looked upon with less apprehension ' • but, considering the discordant materials of which Sir Robert Peel's supporters are composed, and his obstinate refusal to let the people know what he means to do for their relief, it is impossible not to fear that his possession of power would be attended with a con vulsion. Unless he adopted the very measures which he now opposes, and on his opposition to which he seeks to rest his stepping-stone to office, it is generally believed the country would rise up and protest against his attempting to seize the Government. Such being the fact, every hour increases the confidence of the friends of free trade that the principles which they have always professed will speedily triumph, and that by an appeal to the people Ministers will obtain such an acces sion of strength as will enable them successfully to carry out I these great national measures, now stopped in their progress by the factious proceedings of those who, fearful of allowing their real sentiments to be known, endeavour to force the Govern ment to dissolve before the truth is fatly disclosed to the coun try, well know ing that necessity would soon compel them, if they should obtain their places, to proceed tcia - revision of the commercial tariff, as the only means to restore prosperity to the decayed branches of our productiveindustry. Sir Robert Peel may make speeches and move resolutions until doomsday. '[lie people do not care two straws for either. They know thatreferencesthatthe necessitiesshouldwaycountryanydone Walpole,and whoe v er st it P itt to or accordingly. particular mre,ima3ttaanneyef,oremaen overcome din e this fact, and no sp ec i a l p le a di ng or casuistry can blind the people from perceiving th at i t wi ll form the basis on which the policy of the British Administration r must in future be con ducted.

The Foreign Market was almost deserted, most of the deal ers having started early in the day for Epsom.uotation being Spanish Ac tives experienced a slight improvement, the 23-4 to i ; in the other foreign securities there was no altera tion from Spain contained in a second e di t i on of the The iin val u e. new.s morning papers, confirms the accuracy of our stste e rrts of yesterday. Gonzales has declared that he will not din the Cortes, that there will be a great reduction in the arm y, ve that useful financial reforms will be btougl t forward and sentiments which hare been publicly expressed by the new Minister of Spanish finance certainly lead us to expect that he will exert himself to bring about the conclusion of a commer cial Treaty with England. He has always expressed himself decidedly favourabl e to this countr y , althou g h a Catalonian I deputy, anti even been obliged to defend himself against his countrymen from accusations on that ground. His opinions also regardirw the national obligations, are correct, and must toad to support the expectations of the bondholders, that Spain will fulfil her promise of meeting the engagements to her c-editors with perfect good faith. TIMES. —Although the recent intelligence from Spain seems to have been thought rather favourable on the Stock Exchange, the opinion expressed by the leading Spanish mer chants in the City, that it would be impossible to carry on a government in that country withoutadiss h o y lu t t h io e n h o st f n t f h A e 1 p m r i e s - - sent Cortes, has been stro n g l y confirmed ters that has just arrived. At first hopes were entertained of the possibility of forming a coalition Government by an union of the leading Trinitarians and Unitarians, but the present fist shows that all such attempts have failed. Among the Trinita rians, as is well known, are the most violent democrats, and now there is such a strong democratic party . in the Le gislature, the difficulty that will be found in working with a Cabinet without a leading Representative of that party may easily be conceived. At any rate, if anything were to be done at all. under circumstances so disadvantageous, it would be by individuals of such weight and unquestionable influence as might form a counterpoise to political obstacles. The choice of Senor Gonzales as President and Minister of Foreign Affairs seems to have given satisfaction, and so likewise does that of Senor Infante, as Minister of the Interior. The-lattet distinguished himself at Bolivia, in Peru, where he was Minis• ter for Foreign Affairs, and was successful in the preservation TRH SUN, LONDON, MONDAY, MAY 31, ISM of public tranquillity. The qualifications he displayed there I have raised some hopes of him on the present occasion, especi ally as he has, moreover, :be reputation of being a steady man of business, although by no means a brilliant orator Senor San ' Miguel, appointed Minister of War, i 3 the same who in Feb., I 1823, rendered himself celebrated in Spain by the notes he wrote to the Northern Powers when he thought they were assuming a tone too domineering to Spaniards. Of the others, Senor Surra y-Rull has been known to the mercantile world in this country. Senor Garcia Gamba is an old comrade of Espartero, who has come from Manilla, where he held an important military post ; and Senor Alonzo is one of the chief Magistrates of Spain, and a very respectable man. All seem more or less to be of libel el principles, but are decidedly Conservative on the present occa sion. However, the only hopes of the Spaniards in the city, who regard their native politics with interest, are placed in Gonzale and Infante ; and it is thought that the other names, however respectable, will scarcely have weight enough at a crisis like this, and with a formidable party in the lower house ready to oppose every Ministerial act. These two would not alone be sufficient to make a stand against political adversaries, and therefore, as is observed above, the prospect of a dissolution is thought to be more certain than ever, although it is said the Ministers have entertained a hope of carrying on a government with the present Cortes. l'OST.—Nothing special occurred at the Stock Exchangl to day. The Bank notice issued yesterday appears, however, to have rendered money already more easy. LAW INTELLIGENCE COURT OF CHANCERY, May 29. SANETER V. FOSTER. This case was argued on Friday. It was a motion to dissolve an injunction granted by the Vice-Chancellor to restrain the defendants from levying a distress on the plaintiff's effects on bringing an action against him for any penalty under such covenants in a lease granted to the plaintiff by the defendant, as were not contained in an agreement for the lease entered into by the parties. The plaintiff, a farmer in Norfolk, rented a farm of 700 acres at a rent of 4201. per annum, from the defend ant, who is a banker at Cambridge. An agreement was entered into and signed, and a lease drawn by the de fendant's son, an attorney, was tendered to the plaintiff for execution on the 11 th of October. The lease con tained a covenant, imposing a penalty of 10/. per acre on the plaintiff for every deviation from the prescribed mode of cultivation, which covenant vas not contained in the agreement. The plaintiff having, as the defend ant alleged, violated the covenant, an action was brought against him for a penal sum, amounting to 8004 and a distress put in for rent alleged to be due. The LORD CHANCELLOR, after going through the facts of the case, said the injunction must be dissolved with, costs. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, May 29. THE QUEEN V. WM. WEST, AND THE HULL AND SELIIY RAILWAY COMPANY. The ArronNEY-GENERAL (with whom was Sir Fre derick Pollock and Mr. Waddington) showed cause against a rule for quashing the inquisition of the Coro ner upon three persons who were killed when travelling on the Hull and Selby Railway. There were three ob jections : Ist. " That the inquisition was taken upon three bodies, instead of separate inquisitions. 2dly. That it was found that the engines and carriages were moving to the death, and it was not shown that a piece of iron, which was the cause of upsetting the carriage, was of any property or value, nor was it found that it moved to the death. idly. That the property moving to the death was not properly found as belonging to any one." The in quisition stated that these three perm ms were travelling in at carriage drawn by an engine called the " Collingwood," and it happened that a large piece of cast-iron, having worn through a rope, fell upon the railway, by mewls whereof these three Persons were forced to the ground, and so much injured that they died, and that the car riage and the engine were moving to the death. The Learned Counsel contended that it was unnecessary to mention the iron bar, as the engine and carriages were the moving cause of the death. As to the last point, it was stated that the-engines and carriages were the pro perty of the Hull and Selby and the Leeds and Selby Railway Company. This, he urged, was sufficient ; that these Companies were corporate bodies, and there fore it was not necessary to give any further description of the parties to whom the engine belonged, lle sub mitted the rule must be discharged. Sir William Follett (assisted by Mr. Baines) appeared in support of the rule, and contended that the pt,o prietorship had not been properly set out. Lord I)EN3LAN said they could not make anything more of the description, " Hull and Selby Railway Company," than the :proprietors of a tavern in London, and therefore the rule must be made absolute. It was requisite that it should be properly stated in whom the property was, because the deodand (500/.) was to be levied upon the proprietors. Rule absolute for quashing the inquisition. THE QUEEN V. THE YORK AND NORTH MIDLAND RAIL- WAY COMPANY. This was a rule for quashing the Coroner's inquisition in this case, where, after the Jury had been discharged, the Coroner re-assembled them, and they found a deo dand of 500/. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL thought the objection was too formidable ; he could not see what power the Co roner had to re-assemble the Jury. It was necessary the Legislature should interfere in the subject of deo dands, but he was afraid it would not be done by the present Parliament.—(Loud laughter.) Inquisition quashed. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, May 29. PUNTER V. LORD GRANTLEY. This was an action for trespass for turning the plain tiff out of a cottage on Lord Grantlev's property in Surrey, which was tried at Guildford before Lord Abin ger and a common Jury during the last summer assizes, when the Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—Da mages 250/. The pleas were, first, not guilty ; secondly, that the cottage was not the property of the plaintiff ; and thirdly, that it was the property of the defendant. The plaintiff sued in farina pauperis, and it appeared at the trial that, about 1795, the plaintiff's father, also a pauper, came into possession of the cottage in question — that he died in the workhouse—but that subsequently to that the mother continued to occupy the cottage, receiv ing relief from the parish—and that it was not until about eight: or nine years ago that the plaintiff himself came into possession of it. The manner of his ob taining posseseion appeared to be this ; that he went drunk to the cottage one night and turned out his mother and sister, who went to Lord Grantley and complained of what had happened. The plaintiff was consequently brought before the defendant, and he stated that he meant nothing by it, alleging as the ex cuse for his conduct that he was in liquor at the time. Mrs. Punter, hoWever, ran away one night about that time, and the plaintiff continued to occupy the cottag e until the 14th April, 1840, when he was turned out un der a Magistrate's warrant to that effect. For that ejection the present action was brought, and the title of the parties to this cottage was the main point at issue. On the part of the plaintiff there was no evidence as to to a node' in which the plaintiff's father first obtained possession nf thistage show that some a'!terat" s but evidence was given to repairs had been effected the punters during.:' t he Gir oce4pation, though Lord Grantley was admitted to have' bon tteuently there. On the behalf of Lord Grantley there - w " P a " A titit3 k " l q evidence of persons who had been employ ::' Lordship to effect repairs—there was evidence than cottage had been repaired by him 10 or 15 times (luring the occupation of the widow Punter—that trees had been brought and planted there at his request and by his gar dener—that after these things had been done Lord Grantley said on one occasion, "Well, dame, you have got your cot tage nicely done up now, and you shall have it to live in as long as you live"—that more recently, since 1833, the plaintiff himself went to . a parish meeting, and said, " If you don't pay my rent I shall be turned out ; Lord Grantley's steward has been to demand rent of me"— and that the parish agreed to pay a certain sum. Fur ther, there was evidence that the plaintiff, having thought of cutting down a tree, had said to one of the defendant's witnesses that Lord Grantley had purchased the pro perty from the parish, and he should burn his fingers if he did repairs or cut the trees ; and that accordingly the woodcutter of Lord Grantley cut down the tree, which was taken to his Lordship's timber yard. At the trial Lord Abinger directed the jury to find the issue as to the property for the defendant, but the jury persisted in' finding it for the plaintiff upon all the issues. Conse quently a rule nisi for a new trial was obtained a term or two ago, on the ground that the verdict was against evi dence. Mr. Sergeant SREE showed cause against that rule, and submitted that upon the evidence the defendant had no pretence of title to the cottage in .queition.. The case . was one of the grossest hardship'and oppression. This poor family had for years occupied this cottage without any dispute as to their title, and were they now to be turned out by a - powerful and influential nobleman, as sisted by his brother Magistrates, although he showed no title in himself ? . What title had the defendant shown ? He had not proved the origin of his title, and the tiff's possession of twenty years was at all events a com plete bar ; because, by the 3d and 4th William IV., c -27, the doctrine of non-adverse possession had been abo lished ; and the question now was, whether twenty years had elapsed since the right accrued, whatever the nature of the possession, unless the party claiming the property proved that he had within that time rent or profits from the land or an acknowledgment of the title. In this case there had been none of these ; and if he could not prove that the cottage was his, did it become a peer of the realm to interfere with the rights of his poor neighbours and endeavour to turn this pauper family from the cot tage in which they had lived since 1792 ? It had been said that the cause was tried by a common jury only, but their Lordship's knew that the common juries were, by recent Acts of Parliament, composed not of the lowest grades of society, it was a Jury taken from the honest and respectable yeomanry of the coun try, and they, the best and proper judges in such a case, had come to the deliberate conclusion that the peer was wrong and the peasant right. Would it have been better tried if the Jury had been composed of those Magistrates who gave the warrant to pull down his cottage about this poor man's ears ? He thought not ; but, at all' events, if the defendant complained of the Jury, he had no reason to complain of the Judge, for a more favour able Judge he certainly could not have had. Lord Abinger, no doubt, might have known something of the case before he came into Court, and it appeared that he did ; for when it was called, and lie (Mr. Sergeant Shee) had suggested that it would occupy a considerable time, Lord Abinger said, " Oh, no ! it's brought for costs ; probably it brought for costs." Now, he must be per mitted to say that one of the dearest privileges which Englishmen have enjoyed since the reign of Henry VII. was the right of suing in forma pauperis. In this case the right had been granted, not upon his certificate, but upon the certificate of the leader of the English bar after the officers of the Crown ; and, he asked, was it fitting that counsel thus engaged in advocating the cause of the poor man should, at the very outset, be discouraged by the Judge prejudging the case before the Jury, in consequence of knowledge previously obtained ? Then, again, wheulie had objected to hearsay evidence, Lord Abinger made so light of his objection that at the time he had coin plained of being treated like a child in the nursery. He went for damages ; he felt that he was justified in so doing ; 2501. was too little ; he had wanted to prove the length of time these poor people had been kept in the lane ; but Lord • Abinger asked a little girl, who was called, why they didn't go to the workhouse ; and she replied that they had no order ; he might as well have asked her why they didn't go to the London Tavern. It was very well for those who slept on down every night, not to understand the attachment which poor people felt to the hard bed and poor dwelling in which they had been brought up ; but those feelings were not less real on that account. Finally, the Noble Lord pronounced a glowing panegyric on the Magistrates of the county : no doubt they were better acquainted with the noble de fendant than with the plaintffi ; and certainly they had exhibited a decided preference for the case of the peer over that of the peasant. Their conduct and that of the defendant was marked by unbridled and unprincipled licence ; the jury thought so ; they returned a verdict accordingly ; and it would be the worst example for the peace and security of the people, if, when a case of gross oppression by a man of high rank and station came fore them, her Majesty's Judge of Assize, and afterwards the Judges of the Court of Common Pleas, were not scrupulous to see justice done to the last farthing. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL, in support of the rule, Laid that this was a verdict marked by vengeance, and utter'y unsupported by the evidence. It might sometimes cer 7 tainly become the duty of counsel to make animadver sions upon the conduct of a Judge who had presided at the trial of a cause ; but when that was the case it ought at least to be done in some tempered language. lie hoped and believed that their Lordships would not shrink from trying fairly any question between a peer and a peasant ; but he need not say that it was not be cause a man was a peer that his property was to be taken from him. If their Lordships considered the in fluence which the inflammatory - topics that his Learned Friend had even thought it right to address to their Lordships must have upon a common Jury, it would not surprise them to find that they had not come to a fair, just, and deliberate determination in the case. With regard to the panegyric which Lord Abinger was said to have passed upon the Magistrates, it was by no means unusual or improper for a Judge, upon certain persons being named, to say, " I know that such a per son fills a respectable situation ;" -and it was exceedingly unjust that Magistrates shoul d be exposed to attacks such as these, made upon them in their absence, when, if there were any grounds for those attacks, they might be Called upon to answer them in the regular way. His Learned Friend had exhausted alarge fund of sympathy for this poor man, though it did not appear that he de served much ; there' was no evidence that he had ever done a day's work ; and he got possession of this cottage by going at night when he was drunk and frightening his mother and sister out of it. The Learned Counsel then went through the evidence, and contended that it dis closed a series of facts which were sufficient to support the defendant's title. The repairs effected by Lord Grantley from time to time, his saying, "'There, dame, the cottage is done up nicely now, and you shall have it to live in as long as you live," were , sufficient evidence that the widow Punter was at most a tenant at will of Lord Grantley. Then, by the, statute of limitations, which passed in 1833, where the possession was not ad verse, the party hail five years to enter or demand rent and distrain ; and long before that time Lord Grantley, it was clear, had demanded rent, had received a promise to pay, and had entered and cut timber, .Now, he would not pre sume to offer any defence of Lord Abinger's conduct ; none was needed ; but he must be allowed to say; that it' at the bar inflammatory topics were urged calculated to excite the passions of a Jury, a Judge did but half his duty who sat still and saw parties deprived of their just rights, without endeavouring to do away with the in fluence of those inflammatory topics ; and if anything appeared irregular and unusual in the conduct of the Lord Chief Baron on this occasion, it was perfectly re concileable with a just sense of his duty, when they re garded the character of the address which his Learned Friend had made to the Jury. There could be no doubt that this was a grossly perverse verdict : lie therefore prayed the rule for a new trial might be made absolute without costs. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE—We desire to have a little more consideration of the facts of this case, without ference to the bearing of the statute, before we give our decision.- COMMON PLF,AS—GeiLDRALL, May 29: BROMLEY V. HIGHWAY. This was an action brought to recover a sum of 500/. by the plaintiff from the defendant, under the following circumstances :---• It appeared that the plaintiff, .who is a butler in a gentleman'S family in Wimpole-street, in the year 1819 married a woman of the i 'name of Cotterell, who was also a servant in a gentleman's family ; both having saved money, they took the Crown public-house, in Silver street, Golden- square. The plaintiff having had a fa mily by a- former wife, brought the children home, in consequence.of which disputes arose, and plaintiff and his wife separated. Both went to service, and lived apart until lithe year 1831, when the plaintiff took a house in Barlow- street.. His wife finding that to be the case, summoned him to the Marylebone police-office for a maintenance, and the Magistrates ordered him to pay five shillings a week. which he did up to the period of her death in 1839, though she had then consi derable funded property. When plaintiff's wife's health began to decline she went to reside with her sister, a Mrs. Cage, and on her death-bed, in 1639, took 5001. from under her pillow and gave it to her sister, who gave it to the defendant's wife (a cousin of the deceased), upon the understanding that she was to get the interest for it. However, the defendant being .applied, to for the inte rest did not pay it, and refused to return the principal, upon which Mrs. Cage brought an action in the Exche quer, which was tried before Baron Rolfe ; and the defend ant pleaded; in 'answer to this action, that the husband of the deceased was alive, and she. could not recover the money, being legally his. Upon. the plaintiff hearing of the action he made inquiries, in consequence of which he brought the present action. • Mr. Justice BOSANQUET told the Jury that it was clear from the evidence that the money was received by the defendant, and it was legally the property of the plaintiff: The Jury, after a few minutes' consultation, found a verdict for the plaintiff for 500/. . WESTMINSTER SESSIONS. THE QUEEN V. DANIEL GRUNDY, ESQ, The defendant in this case was indicted charged with having assaulted Timothy Giblett, one of the Metropoli tan police, on the 16th February last. Mr. Hughes appeared for the defendant. The appearance of the defendant, who is a gentleman of considerable fortune, and occupied chambers in the Albany, in Piccadilly, when placed at the bar presented that of a person whose mind was in anything but a pro per state. He, however, maintained a quiet and calm demeanour, during the proceedings, occasionally asking questions of the gaoler, to whom he repeatedly in an undertone of voice said, " It was all a mockery and a farce, and that it was a case of perjury." The prosecu tor, it will be remembered, from what has already been published in the police reports, went to the Albany . to execute a warrant on the defendant, who, on being in formed of the nature of his mission, exclaimed, " You - 7 -you rascal !" and instantly collared him. A struggle The defendant then drew out On the course of which the prosecutor was thrown ensue—, and, piing the latter at on the floor of the ball. Murder,. help, help !" and then his sword stick and a his head, called out made his escape, followed tlt 'la-Once by the prosecutor, up the stairs. This was the assatilt p9Nplained of. The fact was proved by several witnesses, Mr. HUGHES, on the part of the defendant, told the jury that the case was one which the circumstances ren dered it necessary for him to leave entirely in their hands. He was unable to rebut the evidence which had been given, but would call a wlt9P99 to show that his client was intemperate in regard ,to paphot 4t14 tiNeite nient, both of which feelings had doubtless been anawd by being told that the party addressing Um_ had a war= rant against him. The COURT inquired what object the Learned Couttse, proposed to effect by calling his witness ? Mr. HUGHES —Merely that of showing how easily lila client became extremely excited.. The COURT said, if that was the only object, the pro per time to put such a witness into the box would be with a view to a mitigation of punishment after the jury might have found the defendant guilty. The Jury immediately returned a verdict of Guilty. Ater a long discussion between the Magistrates who were on the bench, ~ The CHAIRMAN said that -- tlagefendant in this case was a gentleman, and, as th. 4 Court understood, possessed of. very considerable property. They therefore thought his case was one, the justice of which would be met by his putting in sureties to keep the peace. The defendant—l have - no means of repelling the charge, Sir ;itis a case - Of perjury. The CHAIRMAN — But must be guided by the evi dence which is before us. It is a grea t p it y . The defendant—l think not ; t h e thing ought, I am aware, to have been settled at ihe Police-office for a so vereign. I know that very well:. The CHAIRMAN—WeII, what .we must do here is to take care to place you in such a position as to prevent a recurrence of the assault. You must put in bail. The defendant—What ! after having had something 1ik4600/. to pay for a twopenny thing like this. Three months have elapsed too. But I know it should have been settled at once for a sovereign. The CHAIRMAN—We cannot help that. The sentence of the Court is that you. pay a fine to the Queen of Is., and that you enter into your own recognizances for 1,000/., and find two suretiea of 5001. each to keep the peace. The defendant—Oh ! that'S it, is it ? Well, then, what I have to say is, that I think the whole of the con duct in this concern is a gross abuse ; it is a g ross per jury ; it is all a mockery and a farce ; it is a gross abuse on the part of the police and the 3lagistia tes. Now I be g to be allowed to say that I wish to have that expression registered as my opinion. I say that that is may Opinion of the whole affair. I wish you good morning, gentlemen. The defendant then acc ompanied the G overnor of the House of Correction from the Court, wh ence, not being prepared with the necessary' hail, be was driven in his own carriage to the p r i son . _— THE FRUIT Cnors.—Apples appeared to set well after a fine bloom, hut the maggot has since made great havoc, in many places not only devouring the apples, but even the leaves.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. An examination on several cases of alleged forgery, which excited much curiosity, took place before the Lord Mayor. Mr. Humphreys, the Solicitor, appeared for 1 the prosecution, and Mr. Wolff, from Mr. Flower's o ffice, attended for the prisoner, whose name is John Smith, and who was brought up by habeas corpus from Whitecross-street prison. Mr. Humphreys said, that the warrant having been obtained against the prisoner for forgery, Mr. Barrett, the keeper of Whitecross-street prison, in whose custody he was, attended to await the ..result. The prosecutor, Mr. Moss, a Solicitor, became acquainted in the year 1828 with the prisoner, in a business transaction, and subsequently discounted a great number of bills for him. The bills first discounted were for small amounts, and were regularly paid. After a variety of transactions the kind, however, a crisis arrived—a number of the bills which remained in the prosecutor's hands proved to be forgeries, and it afterwards appeared that the whole of the instruments which the prisoner had thus got I cashed were of the same character. Mr. William Moss stated that he was a solicitor, and that his office was at No. 4, Cloak-lane. His first ac quaintance with the prisoner took place when the pri soner was his client. Ile was in the habit of discounting bills for the prisoner. Amongst the bills was the one produced, bearing date the 15th December, 1840, for 851., purporting to be drawn by Brock and Son, and ac cepted by Martin Gale, Orchard-street, Oxford-street, at Hopkinson's, No. 3, Regent-street, at four months date. Witness had discounted other bills purporting to be drawn by Brock and Son, whom the prisoner de scribed as being tailors, residing at No. 10, Sackville street, Piccadilly. The prosecutor, in his cross-examination by. Mr. Wolff, said that he had paid the prisoner a considera tion for the bill, but whether it was in money or not for that identical bill•he could not tell. When first witness became acquainted with the prisoner, in 1828, the latter was a bankrupt and employed him to get his certificate. Witness began to discount bills . for him in 1838, and continued to do so up to January last. He could not tell to what amount. It was upwards of 3,0001. or 4,000/. In the whole it might have amounted to 10,000/. Witness never depended upon the prisoner's circum stances, but upon his character, in the course of their dealings. Witness gave him 100/. in February last, but did not know that the prisoner had paid 401. of that sum for him. Mr. Edward Brock, jun., stated that he was in partner ship with his father, a tailor, residing at No. 10, Sack ville-street, Piccadilly. They knew nothing whatever of the bill produced. Neither his writing nor the writing of his father )vas upon the bill, and neither of them had authorised any person to write upon it. Three others were exhibited of a similar character, of which they knew nothing. The prosecutor stated that he believed the body of the bill produced to be in the handwriting of the prisoner. Mr. Ilitinphreys here produced another bill. It was for 701., and purported to be drawn by Allan upon 11. Atwood, of Harley-street, Cavendish-square. The prosecutor stated that the prisoner had given a great number of bills, purporting to be the acceptances of Mr. Allan, described as a tailor residing at No. 42, New Bond-street. Mr. Daniel Allan stated that he was a tailor, and re sided at 42, New Bond-street. The acceptance on the bi!l produced was not in his writing, not' was it written by his authority. Ile knew nothing of it, nor of any of the other bills on which his name was written. All the parties were perfect strangers to him. Mr. Humphreys said that he should leave the cases, of which there were a great many more of a similar cha racter, to be dealt with by the Lord Mayor as his Lordship should think fit, either to transfer the pri setter to Newgate, or to send him back in the custody of Mr. Barrett. Ilis object was to have the prisoner in safe custody. The prisoner was then delivered to Mr. Barrett, and will he brought up by habeas corpus on the 14th of June to the Central Criminal Court for trial. TUE INDEPENDENT I.:CD WEST MIDDLESEX ASSURANCE COMPANY. Dr. Hanson, a medical gentleman, appeared before Sir Peter Laurie, together with several other persons, for the purpose of stating the particulars of some transae tions with Knowles and the other Directors of the Inde- pendent and West Middlesex Company. Dr. Hanson stated, that, belie% ing, from seeing the names of the Duke. of 'Wellington and other distinguished persons in the list of the patrons and supporters of the Society, he did not hesitate to purchase an annuity at the establishment, and negotiated with Knowles, to whom he paid the sum of 6001. He had been greatly inconve nienced in raising that sum, having had a wife and two children to support at the time he completed the pur chase, and part of the money was the property of his wife. His object was to have a certain annual sum to begin business with, and he thought that he had the world well before him, when he found that the Associa- tion was all a fraud. His wife's heart was broken by so dreadful a loss, and she died about four months ago. He was determined that those who robbed him should pay for the injury he had sustained in some way : if they refused to give him his money, he would certainly try what effect a few bullets woula have upon those persons. He had heard that Knowles and Hole were at Baden; and he should follow them thither, and never leave them till he had accomplished one thing or the other. Sir P. LAURIE lamented to see that one of the family of Dr. Hanson had fallen a sacrifice to the infamous scheme, but he did not approve of the violent mode of restitution alluded to. He had reason to believe that. Knowles and Hole were in England, and if he could find them, he certainly should send them to the Central Cri minal Court. _ _ _ Dr. Hanson—l understand that they are at Baden, a: . - have been seen playing at rouge et not ,- there. I have no doubt about getting my money, if I only see Knowles. The fellows have been in the habit of changing their names. I believe that there is sufficient sympathy amongst the public to raise a sum to prosecute these swindlers. Sir P. LAURIE—The public will say that caution enough was not exercised by those who embarked their money in this speculation, and who ought to have known that so large an interest could not have been afforded by any bona fide concern. An elderly gentleman, who had been Vice-Consul in a foreign land, here stepped forward and said that he had also purchased an annuity in the Society, but the bulk of his property, he thanked God, lay in the Bank. He placed the greatest confidence in the Company till he by accident took up a paper called the Town, and in its pages beheld the most frightful exhibition of the Three tors. Surprised at what he saw he went to Mr. Williams, the son of one of the principal peisons connected with the Society,4nd asked him whether he had seen the attack in the Town. " Oh, dear yes," said the young gentleman, " What ! is it possible that you will allow such things to be said of you with impunity ?" said witness. " Why, what can we do ? The fellow who owns it has been twelve months in prison, and he offered if we consented to give him 1001. to change his tune, but we would take no notice of him." Sir PETER LAURIE—WeII, when did you hear again of the Society ? The Vice-Consul—l called in three weeks for my dividend, and I found that all was up. The young gentleman told me that the business of the concern was stopped, and so I lost my money along with hundreds of others, whose cases were a thousand times more deplor able. Nothing can in fact check evils of this kind till England can get other countries to determine to put every person known to be a swindler under arrest. HIppING INTELLIGENCE.

NOVEL COMBAT.—Most of those in the h at'lk of visiting rittrille, are aware that the stately I b l 3- Swans inhabiting the lake, have recently been with a brood of cygnets. The care of the pm -put 10 over the young ones was strikingly exempliic<l _ Sunday la4t—a gentleman Visiting- the garden= , o r large Newfoundland dog, the animal either in si).°t with some evil designs against the peace of the infattiti brood, jumped into the water and began making Iris o f towards them. The old birds, seeing the their such a dangerous enemy, proceeded to convoy family away from the scene of action, the male b t e however, with becoming gallantry, bringing up, !.. rear. Encouraged by this apparent flight., the a/ mended his pace,. till the old swan, seriously attain:l for the safety of his mate and infant progeny, ftt c ,,, about, and by one dexterous manoeuvre , sprang from t" - water and perched himself on his assailant's back, c 0111; pletely sinking him, till the dog seeing not hint else 0 it but flight, dived to a considerable distance, and on re' gaining the surface made the best of his way to the bank, and across the hedge home, regardless of the whistle of his master. Satisfied with the success of his prowess—the beautiful bird arched his neck and sailed majestically to where his convoy had retreated.—Chel lenham Examiner. PROVIDENTIAL ESCAPE.—Between 8 and 9 o'clock on Monday morning last, while the ringers of St. George's Chapel, Windsor, were engaged in the Wi l l of the Julius Cs tower, ringing a merrypeal iu bo nou h r of her Majesty's birth-day, the large bar of iron to wbic a the tenor bell (weighing upwards of 40 cwt.) was aMs e f to the ceiling, snapped in two. This immense masse metal, in its fall, was most fortunately prevented descenc_ee. more than a few feet by its coming in contact with the t oP ry wall on one side, and a projecting buttress on the eth e . upon which it rested. Had it not been for this cireurilrh stance, its 'great weight would have forced , it throt,illncv the two intermediate floors to the belfry, where the ringers were stationed ; and loss of life, most pro would have been the lamentable result, besides the " a , struction of the bell, which would haVe 'fallen upwt`,l.o., of eighty feet upon the stone flooring of the cellar he '° By the aid of the block tackle from the Castle, andor several workmen, the bell was re-fixed in the afterno?a, and the merry peal, which was so unexpectedl l i short in the morning, was finished in the course of t ,venings.
