MORNING .14.MIT1ON. POLITICAL SUMMARY OF THE MORNING JOURNALS. The Morning Advertiser of yesterday contains a leading article on the subject of Lord Stanley's Irish Registra tion Bill, in the course of which our Contemporary ob serves :—" Had not his Lordship and his followers been encouraged by seeing the professed friends of Ireland hesitate to use the advantage of their position to place the general interests on a more secure basis, Lord Stan ley and tke Tories would never have dared to introduce their abhorred Bill." The Morning Herald returns to the subject of the late vial of Lord Cardigan in the Howe of Peers, and observes, with reference to the verdict, " had the Earl been triei before the fifteen Judge', all sitting together on a special commission, we have no hesi tation in saying that they would—that they mutt—have come to the same decision as did the Pee , -composed Court of the Lord High Steward." The Times in a trading article suggested by the state of our foreign political relations, remarks as fol lows:—" Nobody can tell what is to he the result of the present state of our relations with France or with America ; and this incapacity of judgirg as to results when it is so nearly general, and under existing circumstances so apparently irremedi dile, must be considered among the beasiest evils that can afflict a nation, short only of war it self." The Morning Post contains a lengthy article on the subject of the Church, the object of which is to show that strict Church principles and discipline are making rapid progress throughout the country. The Morning Chronicle remarks, with reference to the Earl of Cardigan's recent trial in the Lords :—" Let us hope ti at the di' grace of this t ill sill not bane been incurred in vain, and that a purer and more rptional system of judicial procedure will one day take the place of the present contemptine system." FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTREDAY. (From the Globe.) We yesterday drew attention to the inferiority of Lord Stanley's Registration Bill, as compared with that of Lord Morpeth, and slightly glanced at the inconsist ency and injustice of the threatened opposition to the second reading of the latter, on the weak pretence that the propoied franchise is a violation of the integrity of the Reform Bill. The self-stultifying arguments by which the Tories endeavour to justify their prefe rence for Lord Stanley's Bill, and their determination to effect the rejection of Lord Morpeth's better mea sure, receive a characteristic illustration from the Post's attempt to aid its party in their work. To show why the Conservatives ought not to vote for the second reading of Lord Morpeth'sßill, although they approve of its principle, the Post has recourse to a curious process of ratiocination. The priuciple of it is, the prevention of false swearing. It aims at the very object they have professedly most at heart ; and yet the Conservatives ought not to vote for the principle they approve and the object they supremely desire, because the bill threatens to invade the Reform Act, and re-opens the mighty question which so agitated the country ten years ago! Now, this would have been a very good reason for not introducing Lord Stanley's Bill of last Session. If disturbing the Re form Act is a thing so much to be deprecated, that no Conservative can consistently vote for a Bill which does it, then no Conservative can consistently vote for the Bill of Lord Stanley. Sir R. Peel, we re member, used to check the ardour of his partisans, when they wished to attack the Reform Act, by telling them it would not be long before its authors would do so. He thought the pascion for Reform would outrun the passion for re-action. But he was mistaken ; and be who took up his Conservative position upon the Re. form Act, has allowed his partisans—the zealots of re action—to cut away the very foundations of the posi tion he professedly took up. Curiously enough, the Post, without meaning it, tells the Conservatives what they ought, according to every rule of duty and logic, to do respecting the second reading of Lord Stanley's Bill : " The logicians tell us of a sophism, plurium interroga tionum, where several propositions are put together which cannot be either affirmed or denied in the lump, because part of them are true, and part false. They further tell us that the way to avoid the meshes of this sophism is to take each of the propositions separately, and affirm or deny it, according to its truth or falsehood. Now, this is just the way to meet the legislative sophism of Lord Mor peth's We quite agree with the Post. This is the logical reply to the B:11. 'rhe second reading is the time for affirming one of the propositions of the Bill—the prin ciple of the repression of perjury at the registries ; and therefore the Conservatives are logically and morally bound to affirm this true principle. To affirm what is to them a true proposition, is as much a duty as it is a duty to deny a false proposition. (From the Standard.) Vs e have put two plain questions to the admirers of Lord Morpeth's Bill, neither of which any of them has condescended to answer. First, we have asked, why if the Bill is in other respects an excellent Bill, as Mr. O'Connell says it is, is it necessary to engraft upon it a reduction of the qualification ? It might be very well to say, after abusing Lord Stanley's Bill for 12 months, this is a vile Bill, but we will take the sting out of the " Scorpion "by throwing Universal Suffrage into it by way of parenthesis. This might be plausible enough as regards Lord Stanley's Bill ; but surely it will not be said of the excellent Bill of Lord Morpeth, that to be at all palateable it must be seasoned with a revolution. Once more we crave an explanation of thie t seeming diffieulty- Oar second, luestion regards the same topic—the Universal Silt irage parenthesis. The reason given for this extra ordinary injection is, that of persons qualified to exercise the elective franchise, according to the scale eof qualification established by the Reform Bill, there £re not enough in Ireland. Now we ask, if such be the case, is not the proper remedy, accord ing to the theory of the Reform Bill, a reduction in the number of Irish representatives y In Great Britain the Reform Bill gave to one-fourth of the population— namely, the inhabitants of cities, towns, &c., three-fourths of the representation, because the towns were supposed to contain qualified electors in that proportion. The num ber of qualified electors was thus made the test, and the very foundation of the constitution of 1832 : and why should it not be applied to Ireland, when we are told that the number of qualified electors in that island is likely to prove insufficient. But is this likely ? What ought to be the number of electors for an Irish city or county? The City of London, we believe, has 14,000, or thereabouts; and vie Soo by a return moved for by Mr. Hume, that the city of Dublin has 17,090, Cork 8,000, Belfast 5,400, Gal way 3,267, and so on—so that the disparity of numbers in cities and towns is not very gm ate The average of electors in the Irish counties appears by the same return to be above 3,000, and this we sub mit is an average that scarcely calls for an augmentation. l But it is said that the number is diminishing; the reverse is the truth. In the county of Dublin and the county of Longford only is there any decrease since 1835, whereas, in nine citi s there has been a great increase. The total decrease in five years has been 878, the increase 11,297—leaving a balance of increase considerably be yond tee thousand. In the cities and b >roughs the cducretse has, in five years, amounted to a solitary unit —Coleraine Las lost one elector : the increase has ireea, on the ether hand, 2,241 ; leaving a balance of 2,240 in favour of the increase. These, surely, are not symptoms of decline in the constituencies. (Flom the Courier.) During some days past reports have been in circula tion touching certain misunderstandings between Sir John Harvey, Lieutenant Governor of New Brunswick, and Lord Sydenharn, (late Mr. Poulett Thomson), the Governor-General of Biitish North America, which have resulted in the recaliof the former functionary on the demand of the latter. The kroundwork of the dif ferences is stated to have been the expression of an opi nion adv,!rse to the propriety of employing the regular troops for the defence of the Madawaska settleormr, the frontier British station on the territory in 'dispute with the State of Maine, such troops having been ordered there by the Governor-General himself. The gravamen of the charge, however, is to be found in the f►ct, as fact it is assumed, that Sir John Harvey not only ent2rtained the sentiment imputed, but that he should have chosen, of all men in the world, to im part it by letter to that hair-brained person Governor Fairfield, of the State of Maine, with the addition that it would hate Leen more wise to hay!! committed the care of the settlement „„ a posse comitatus, rattier than to troops. Now here ,n act both of insubordina tion, of weakness, and of iinpoliey. It could not be other wise than prejudicial to the puLlic scrvice,as rutting arms dor arguments into the enemy's hands, wherewith to resist or deny the just claims of this country to deal in the mat ter of her own territorial occupation and pcsses6ion as might best be for the protection of the subjects entitled. And it cannot be denied, that the :node itdoptcd for giving publicity to this dingreement in opinio❑ was i,oth offensive' and disrespectful towards the superior ofEeer, the Governor-General. At all the dinners and meetings in lloss-shire to cornwemorate the marriage of Sir Cliarles Ross of Balna gown, the health of his excellent factor, Wi;liim Laidlaw, F,sq., was duly remembered. Mr. Laidlaw, it will La re collected, was the intimate friend of Sir Wzher Scott— his early companion in hunting for legendary lore and old ,ballads among the wilds of Liddesdale—his friend and lend-steward in ma•ure life at Abbotsford—and one of the few who witne;sei the kit moments, and soothed the dis tresses of the illuntrims novellist. Looking back on these e/ents, we hav : heard M r . L a idl aw say, t h at the whole seemed to him some bright aid svlendid dream whictl had ended suddenly in darkness and dcsolition. Many of our Southern readers will thank us for thin iocidental men tion of Mr. Laidlaw, and will he happy to L.aro that he is tranquilly and usefully employed an factor or mankzer of the extensive estate; of Balnagown.—hiverness Courier. THE ELGIN BURGIIS.—The statement men-. funned in our last number, that the Hon. Fox Maule had consented to stand again as a candidate for the represen ation of the Elgin burghs, caused a strong sensation here, and no little rejoicing among our Conservative friends, as it was obvious that a division of the Liberal rankswi,h Si r Andrew Leith Hay would have the effect of returning Mr. Duff, the Conservative candidat". We now It from an elector, that, though a requisition was set on foot to Mr. Maisie, that gentleman has no intention of stand ing a.c.raio for these burghs, a n d w ill b e no party to a divi sion of the Liberal rardu. " There is no doubt of the fact," says our correspondent, " that Mr. Made has de dined to sta n d aga i n , or b e a ,, y party to di v id e t h e Libe ral intereit." In this ca-e Sir Andrew ail be returned, for there is a large majority of Liberals in the district.-- :Inverness Courier. 7, V/ MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. C HRONIC L E. —The intelligence from the East being looked upon as satisfactory, and the fate of the Fortifica tion Bill in the Peers being thought by some part:es doubtful, the funds have presented a firmer appearance. We have received a file of Sydney papers, the latest of which is of the 9th of October, being only one day later than those previously received. The Legislative Council were still sitting, but their proceedings were principally taken up by various Bills before the House of a local nature. The Governor had expressed an opinion that if the General Insolvent Bill before the Council at the early part of the Session had been passed into a law law, what ever monetary embarrassments bad taken place lately would have been thrown upon the law; but he was glad to say that he had reason to believe that the depression was pass ing away, and he thought the colony would do very well without an insolvent law, the old law not being at all se vere. In the course of two years he found that only thirty-four persons had been imprisoned a second time, and two only a third time, and the terms of imprisonment were very short. The American discovery squadron was left at the Fejee Islands on the 18th of July last, busily employed in making a full survey of that intereAting group of islands. Her Majesty's surveying ship Sulphur, and tender, arrived at the Fejee; about the Ist of June. POST.—We have authority to state, for the informa tion of the Portuguese bondholders, that Mr. Thornton is still in correspondence with the Lisbon Executive on the subjrct of the late financial proposition, and that he can not feel himself warranted in rccommcndir.g them to agree to the terms cf conversion offered until assured that no ad vantage can he taken of them under the provisions of the 6th article of the decree. 'We know that Mr. Thornton has received a communication from the new Finance Mi nister on the matter, in reply to one addres'ed by him to M. Ferraz, his predecessor, but that, as it is by no means sati,f;ctory t ) him, he purposes to address the Mil,ister again by next packet. The whole of the eon espondence, when completed, will he laid before the public. In the meantime, even those parties who have given in their con ditional adhesion to the scheme will do well to proceed no further in the busine,s. TIM E S.—The English Stock-market was very firm throughout the day, and the later bargains were at im proved prices. The letters from Manchester state that an unusual de mand has sprung up there frita new fabric of the " mousse line-de-lame" species, w - bfels is stimulating the manufac turers to great exertions, both iii extending their power of production, and making new improvements in the patterns. Of these, through the facilities the money postage gives, many specimens are transmitted in the letters, and the pub lic, till they have seen them, will hardly credit what really elegant fabrics are produced, at the price of 14d. a yard, for a commodity of 27 inches wide. It serves as an addi tional proof, if any %ere wanted, of the means by which our manufacturers, if fair play is given to them, contrive to obta;n the command of every market in the world. Some of the mantsfac tilers have orders for all that they are able to produca within the next three months. Money seems to continue in considerable demand in Manchester, but not so as to create any very serious impediment to the general activity which is springing up in the trade of the district. By a " cotton circular" of the 4th ult. from New Or. leans, addressed, to a leading house from Liverpool, it ap pears that the reports from the Ist of October to the 31st of December, 1840, were 108,766 bales to Great Britain, 46.274 bales to France, and 58.560 bales coastwise, mak ing a total of 213,600 ha'es against 220,546 bales during the same period in 1839, *nada up of tt e quan tities :-95,111 b4l t) Great Br itahl, 91,312 bales to France, and 34,123 bales coaquiic.

MEETING OF MIDDLESEX MA GISTRAT E S. Thursday a very numerous meeting of the Magistrates of the county of Middlesex was held at the Sessions House, Clerkenwell, for the despatch of county business, Mr. Sergeant ADAMS in the Chair. ._.. The inMutes of the last Court were read and confirmed HOUSE OF CORRECTION. The Report of the Visiting Justices of the House of Correction was read. It stated that there were at present confined within its walls 682 males, 221 females, and 13 children; total, 913. NEW PRISON. The Report of the Visiting Justices of this prison stated that it at present contained 74 male and 28 female pri soners, total 102: and the gratifying fact that there was only one prisoner in the infirmary. On the motion that the report be received, Mr. A RMSTRONG rose to call the attention of the Court to a statement contained in a former report of the Visiting Justices. He alluded to the treatment of Elizabeth Showles, a prisoner, who, it appeared, was delivered of a child at eight o'clock in the evening of the 31st of Decem ber, without any medical aid ; and that, on the 14th of January, she was, by the order of the surgeon of the pri son, forwarded to a police-office to undergo an examine tion on the charge for which she was sent to prison. It appeared that the sterAeon of the Rigors, when informed ''lbut — tbels l WlßTAPAllt.„Aer r uodelisexet of a child, and re quested.mAthild 'her, said. that Jo should not visit, the prison again that night, and that he did not see the pri soner until one o'clock in the afternoon of the following day. He hoped that some explanation of this matter would be given by some of the Visiting Justices present. Mr. DYER, as one of the Visiting . Justices, said he was anxious to state what bad come to their knowledge. He believed that the surgeon, on the occasion in question, bad done no more than had frequently been done before; as a proof of which be would state that it appeared, from an of ficial document which he then had in his hand, that within the last five years above twenty women had been removed from that prison who had been delivered of children within an average of fifteen days from their confinement. The Rev. T. WlLLiasts said it was notorious that many poor women resumed their household duties within fifteen days after they had given birth to a child. Mr. DYER said that neither mother tier child had suF tained any inconvenience from the removal in question, and, therefore, so far the surgeon of the prison was not to blame, although he certainly acted wrong in not going to the prison when sent for to attend the woman, a fact which he himself admitted, and for which he was extremely sorry, and had promised that it should never occur again. Mr. Tunic thought that the surgeon ought not to be al lowed to shelter himself under the plea that nothing unto ward had occurred in the present case. Mr. POVINALL thought that the past services of the sur geon entitled him to the indulgent consideration of the Court, though he would admit that he had acted extremely wrong in not attending the woman, when he was sent for ; because nothing could excuse a medical man in not attend ing a woman under such circumstances. Here the matter c rappel.'. CORONERS AND PARISH OFFICERS Mr. ARDIVTRONG brought forward the following motion, of which be hnd given notice :—" That it be referred to a Committee to communicate with the Secretary of State for the Home Department and the Commistioncrs of Me tropolitan Police on the expediency of the force under the control cf the Commißsioners being in future em ployed in attending the C(roncrs' Courts, summoning the Juries,'and discharging all other duties rola ive to the hold ing of inquests, heretofore performed by the parochial consta bles, with a view to the efficient and uniform discharge, of those duties, and the saving a great and unnecessary ex. pence to the county consequent on the present system, and to report thereon to the Court as speedily as possible." After a trief discussion, the motion of Mr. Armstrong was carried. IRISH PAUPERS A long discussion then took place on t'..e reading of a letter from the Poor-lax Commissioners rolative to the present mode of passirg Irish paupers to their native c2untry. It anpeared that by the preent system the paup(rs in question were passed either to Dublin or Cerk, and left to find their way to tie pa ishes to which they belonged as well as they could, with money foreishod tern !It- that purpose, instead of being forwarded to the place of their settlement. The consequence in many in stance; was, that they returned to England with the money so given them, and is a short time again becamo charge able to parishes in this country. The subject was referred to a Committee. The Court then adjourned.

THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 1841. MAJOR CLIBBORN'S AFFAIR. EXONERATION OF THAT OFFICER FROM BLAME AND ATTACHMENT OF BLAME TO LORD KEANE. (The following is the report alluded to by Sir John Hobhouse in the House of Commons on Friday last, as having been improperly published in India.) REPORT OF THE MILITARY COMMISSION. Sukkur, N0v.20, 1840. The Court having carefully investigated everything connected with the unfortunate affair of Nufoosk come to the following conclusion. 1. That the remote andoriginal cause of the disaster rested with Lord Keane, his Excellency having re duced the number of troops and crippled the Commis sariat to such a degree that the former were not able to occupy the posts in sufficient force to protect them selves, much less to act offensively, should such a measure become necessary, and the latter from want of means were prohibited the possibility of furnishing the supplies absoletely requisite for their support. 2. Owing to the above causes tFe month of May had arrived before even the small detachment under Captain Brown was established at Kahun, although Major-General Sir Thomas Willshire had determined that a force of double the strength should be sent e Irly in March. 3. To an error of judgment on the part of Brigadier Stevenson in pushing a force within the Hills at such a season, when he knew he had not the means of feeding them, and no inconvenience either in a political or mil . tary view could have arisen from the delay of a few months, when all risk of the subsequent misfortunes would have been avoided. He, apparently, did not consider that the arrangements had been determined on at a favourable season, and with the supposition of full means. 4. To the want of information given to Capt. Brown, by Brigadier Stevenson, and after his death by Major Forbes, for although Capt. Brown early in August made the most urgent application for supplies, and the season was so unfavourable that they ought in the opi nion of the Court to have sent him orders at once to place his garrison on half or even quarter rations, which would have enabled him to hold out until the favour able season for relief came round. 5. To the want of an understanding between Briga• dier Stevenson and Lieut. Poston!, the assistant poli tical agent in immediate charge of Northern Cutchee ; the former having determined on throwing in supplies without any communication with the political authori ties, and actually equipped a force of 1,200 bayonets, 6 guns, and a strong body of irregular horse for that purpose. 6. To the want of foresight and judgment of Major Forbes, (who commanded after the death of Brigadier Stevenson), who sent'out 1,200 camels and GOO bul locks under about half the number of troops ordered for this service by his predecessor, and without any con sultation with the political authorities. This measure the Court unhesitatingly condemns. Orders sent to Captain Brown to put his men on quarter rations, would have answered every purpose, for be had provisions, as events subsequently proved, to enable him to hold until until the 15th October without such a precaution. Nor can the Court avoid noticing the uselessness of such an enormous convoy, when 200 camels would have sup plied the garrison of Kahuo with provisions for three months. 7. The Court consider Lieutenant Postans, the poli tical agent, in immediate charge of the country they were to pass through, highly culpable for not having accompanied the convoy, and in having, in the only com munication placed on record, which is a private one, so far misled Major Forbes as to state that, in his opinion, 400 infantry and 200 horse would prove sufficient to pretect the convoy proceeding to Kahun against any force the Murrees could bring against it. 8. The first point to be noticed with reference to Major Clibborn, is his opinion as to the adequacy of his detachment for the duty entrusted to him. He st des, that it was his conviction 2,000 men would not suffice for the duty to be performed, but that he made no application for an increase to his strength, because, he says, he knew that none could be afforded, nor did he request any reduction to the amount of the supplies. This statement is most unsatisfactory —a slight calcu lation would have shown him how wholly unnecessary was the immense charged entrusted to him, and the same force destined for service by Brigadier Stevenson might have been employed.by Major Forbes. 9. The second point rel des to the route seieetel. by Major Clibborn from Phoolajee and Kellum The Court differ entirely from him as to the obstacles he would have had to encounter by Deyrah ; accurate surveys of the three routes from Phoolajee and Lhiere to Kahun were made last year by Lieut. Jacob, of the artillery, and Dr. Kirk; in addition to these, the latter officer had made careful drawings of the three passes and gorges, which presented the chief obstructions to the advance of troops. A reference to Captain Jacob's reports will show that the road over the Nufoosk Pass was made by him, and until he constructed it, the Pass was impracticable excepting to foot passengers. Now, before Major Clibborn entered the Hills he received information from Captain Brown that the Murraes were assembling in force at Nefoosk, and. destroying, thesnesal.:Lfir jritream4e nitric- luesaight:itst 40-Uve selected the route: in question. But there is another instance of the want of judgment of Major Clibborn— he was warned by Lieutenant Postans not to place re liance in Meer Hussain, and he himself doubted his fidelity. The man earnestly pressed the advance to NufOosk ; be was heard communicating with the enemy, )et Major Clibb orn a ll owe d himself' to be led into the toil. Major Clibborn, beyond a doubt, should have gone by Deyrah ; the only difficulty along the whole course is a narrow gorge a mile and a half be yond Deyrah. At that place there is abundance of water and forage, and in the event of resistance, he might have halted any length of time, and taken steps for turning or forcing the pass. The only remaining oint to be noticed i s M a j or Clibb orn ' s conduct ' previ to and during the engagement . H ere he, i n- th , first instance, fell int o th e f ata l, b ut too common rror of holding his ene m y i n contempt. Hi s plan of attack t was most injudicious : he admits the pass might have been turned from the left, but gives as a reason for his not having attempted it, that it would have required to detach 400 infantry. The Court entirely differ with Major Clibborn on this point : if two flank companies were considered by him sufficient to make a direct attack on the whole concentrated force of the enemy fir front, with every description of artificial, as well as natural obstacles to overcome, the same number of men would have been capable of turning the position ; and had Major Clibborn adopted this plan, making, et the same time, a false attack in front, to be convorted into a real one, when he saw our troops crowning the height', there can be no doubt the pass of Nufoosk would have been carried with comparafvely little loss on our side. The Court is also of opinion, that Major Clibborn did not sufficiently reconnoitre in search of water, but trusted too much to reports. There were trees and herbage within 300 yards of his position, which in such a desolate region ought to have attracted his notice, and had he searched, it is now known be would have found water on the spot. Having performed a painful duty in animadverting on the conduct of various individuals, we have increased pleasure in recording our opinion of the patient endur ing fortitude, and. determined gallantry of every indivi dual of this brave, but unfortunate detachment, which is above all praise. It is true our arms have mct with a reverse, but the honour of the Bombay troops remains untarnished. (Signed) Major-Gen. G. B. BROOKES, President. Brig. T. VALIANT, H.M. 40th Regt. Lieut.-Col. G.

TILE FRENCH NA VY.—The Courrier Fran cais publishes a long letter from a Correspondent at Tou contbining statements to prove that the various dock ards of France a re v er y i na d equate l y supplied with timber 'fur the vessels repairing or building. He calculate, that in the naval ports on the western and southern coasts of France there are not more than 80,000 steres of timber (the store is the cubic metre of 35:f cubic English f,et) now collected ; of which only 50,000 steres I are really ready for naval constructions ; and he adds that this timber is so ill assorted, that it would he impossible at the present moment to put on the stocks five first-rates, or even to re pair them af.er an engagement. He then proceeds to show, on the same date, that the number cf vessels ordered to be built this year is impossible to be executed. Ede at tributes the cause of this wan. of tiinber to two circum stances, the abolition of the sys'em of marking trees for ELT- L' building in forests, which t oo k p l ace i n 1828, andithe abolition of At roudissernents Forestiers for the navy in 1837. AWFUL FIRE.--A dreadful fire recently broke out at the mill of Mr. M'Clelland near Derby. Of seven persons who were dreadfully burned, two have since died. The damage done to the property is not considerable.

LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, FEE. 19. (Sittings in Guildhall, at Nisi Priux, hf.fore Lord DEN MAN and a Common Jury.) TOWN V. STORY. This was an action brought fora malicious slander, uttered against the plaintiff by the defendant, who pleaded the general issue. Mr. PLATT, Q. C.,1 stated the case. Both parties resided in Whitechapel. The subject of the plaintiff's complaint was a malicious slender, published against him by the defendant, whereby it would be seen certain damage bad arisen to the plaintiff in the way of his trade. It could not but be well understood how mischievous in its consequences would be any slander, uttered against a tradesman's solvency. It would be shown in evi dence that the defendant claimed certain rent due by the plaintiff on the premises which he occupied, but which he refused to pay the defendant, as he conceived he had no right to it, unless the defendant would indem nify him (the plaintiff). This circumstance formed part of the foundation on which, the slander complained of was raised. The plaintiff was a manufacturer of chocolate and cocoa, and was employed by grocers to prepare these articles—they sending him the raw material. One of the grocers who so employed the plaintiff was a Mr. Walton, to whom the slander for which the present action was brought, was uttered, and who in cense quence bad cease 1 to send his goods for manufa , tote to the plaintiff's establishment. The plaintiff was thereby much injured in his business. The Learned Counsel proceeded at some length t o state the substance. of the evidence which he meant to adduce in support of his case, and then called the following witnesses ! Thomas William Clarke examined.—ls in the em ployment of Mr. James Walton, who carries on the business of a grocer. His business is extensive. He usually employed Mr. Town to manufacture choco late and cocoa for him. The amount rnanulactureal for Mr. Walton was about 4001. yearly. On the 24th of August last Mr. Story, the defendant, called at Mr. Walton's shop, at about eleven o'clock in the morning, and made some inquiries about cocoa. He called a se cond time and asked witness if it was Mr. Town who manufactured cocoa and chocolate for him. Wit ness replied in the affirmative, when Mr. Story said that he had that •morning dissrained Mr. Town for rent, t9 : 411e amount of 391. 155.,! due by him (Town) on the - premises which he occup ed from Story, the defendant; in the present action. The wit ness here proceeded to detail a conversation which took place in his presence between Mr. Story and Mr. Walton, the substance of which was that, in reply to some questions from Story, Mr. Walton stated that Town manufactured coffee, cocoa, and chocolate for him—that he sent him the raw material, and that at that very time he (Town) had got a great quantity of both cocoa and coffee belonging to him (Walton) on his premises ; upon which Story observed that he had seen at Town's place nothing but a few bags of cocoa, a litt'e coffee, and a large quantity of coffee flight (which the witness described as the chaff, that comes from coffee, when being screened), when Mr. Walton observed, that Mr. Town stated his willingness to pay the rent demanded of him by Story, if the latter would indemnify him. Story replied that that was all d—d humbug, and only said for the purpose of de ceiving. Mr. Walton then remarked that lie had had much dealing with Town, and always found him an upright, straightforward sort of man, but poor. The defendant replied, " I cannot say so—l've found him a d--d swindling thief." The witness also stated that Mr. Walton had in consequence of what the defendant stated, withdrawn his employment from Mr. Town. The witness was cross-examined at some length but nothing material was elicited. James Walton—Was in the habit of paying from 1001. to 1501. a year for chocolate. Mr. Story called upon mc, and in 'consequence of the statement he made to me I was very angry with Town, and said I would never employ him again. In my conversation with Story, he said he considered Town anything but an honest man. I have never employed him since. He asked me where Messrs. Travers lived—(they are the largest persons in the trade in England, I think, and they employed the plaintiff). I said I did not know exactly, but I hoped he would not state to them what he had stated to me, as I was sure they would take their business from him, and they were his main depen dence. He also said something about there being a great deal of hypocrisy and humbug about Mr. Town. I discontinued giving work to Town because I did not think my property would be safe with him in come_ sequence of these seizures. I did not consider him a dishonest man. Sir F. PoLLociCaddressed the Jury for the defen dant, and Lord DENMAN having summed up, The Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff— damages, 751. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION. BO USE. A young maq, of respectable appearance, named ilf.Carthy, was iskought before the Lord Mayor on Wednesday, el lt 4d by Mr. Lutge, of . N o . With htAring been concerned, with several other persons, in cheating tradesmen in the City. Mr. Lutge re Nested that the Lord Mayor would remand the young man until the officers should have an oppoitunity of finding the prisoner's father, whom the complainant described as deeply implic:.ted in the plot, and his Lordship acquiesced. Next, day M l Carthy, senior, was brought before his Lordship, be having been picked up in the street in a state of drunkenness, and lodged in the st ition-house, where, upon his recovering, it was ascertained that he was just the person the police wanted. It appeared that while the father was tasting wines at the Docks, the son was apprehended and charged at the justice room, so that the state of sobriety brought a very dis agreeable state of things to the view of the former. Mr. Lutge stated that several persons were involved in the schemes by which tradesmen were now suffering in the City, and that a person called at the shop and or dered two muffs to be sent to his office, at No. 14, Queenhithe, stating that if they were approved of the money should be paid there. Witness sent a messenger with the muffs, which the man imprudently left at the office upon being told that he must call again. He did call again, but he got neither muffs nor money. The younger prisoner subsequently called and ordered two shawls to be sent to the same address, mentioning that when the shawls were sent both muffs and shawls should be paid for. Witness accordingly sent a messenger with the order, but desired him on no account to leave the goods without the money. The porter, however, was persuaded to disobey the instr uc ti ons , an d t h e conse quence was as might be expected. The poi tm. said that he took the shawls to the office of the prisoners, having received particular directions from Mr. Lutge, not to leave them without receiving the money. The son, however, hariag told him that his father was out, and that all was right, and a greet many more goods would he required, he thought he might venture, particularly as the place was one of very respectable appearance, to leave the shawls, and to tear off the receipt of the invoice. Mrs. Lutge, wife of the complainant, said that the elder prisoner called at the shop and saw her, and or dered the muffs to be sent down to No. 14, Queen hithe, and said that he would see whether they would answer. Mrs. Lutge declared that she never intended to have given credit to the man, and that she sus pected something of the kind when he called. Mr. Thomas Cow, of No. 14, Queenhithe, stated that the elder prisoner took one floor of the premises from bite, and stated at the time that he was an importer of wine, and an exporter of hardware and other goods, and gave a respectable reference. Witness, however, Icund that numbers of tradesmen ►•ere calling with bile, and believing that he had got a regular nest of swindlers, determined to get rid of them as soon as possible. Tile prisoner left the premises the other day. There were he was sure several persons connected with them, and he was sure that if their apprehension were generally known, crowds of defrauded tradesmen would be in at tendance. Mr. Dawson, jun., of the house of 1),m:on and Son, stationers and newsvenders, in Cannon -street, stated that the younger prisoner came to him in January, and ordered piper and other articles of sta tionery to the amount of 1/. 33. 9d. Witness did hot know the firm of M'Carthy and Cc., and made inquir3 in the re : gbhourhood, but could not hear anything about them. Ho then made out the bill, and sent the order to the address, with strict injunctions to the mes senger not to lease the stationery without being paid the amount, under any circumstances. The mesten ger, however, calculating upon the respectable appear ance of the place, left the goods on his own respon sibility. The messenger said he was induced by the younger prisoner, who said that the money should be paid in the alt , rnoon, to leave the goods at the premises. Mr. Smallwood, of No. 108, Strand, trunk maker, said that the elder prisoner called at his shop on the lst of February, and said that his son was going to nllege, and required a portmanteau. The amount was 81. 103., and witness sent the portmanteau in the even ing to the premises. The messenger was put off with an excuse, and no money had been received since for the article. It was left at Queenhithe on account of the respectability of the house. The tiler prisoner said that he never before was charged with an offence, and that he had always acted with integrity. The whole business arose from the vin dictive feelings of the landlord, whom he had regularly paid. Mr. Cox declared that he had no vindictive feelings. ,He certainly felt very much that his house should eon. tsin a nest of swindlers, and he resolved. when he found that such was the case, to get rid of them as speedily as possible, The prisoners were then remanded till Tuesday next.

To such persons who closely apply their sight to react. ing or any minute employtnent, but particularly by candle or lamp light, they will be found of incalculable advantage.

A trial for murder, attended with circumstances of , - ,;:nzir,3, has just taken pldee. before 11,e Court of Assizes at Brest. The facts, as proved in evidence, are as follow : A man named Castel, an armourer, resided at Brest with his wife, who appears to have behaved virtuously and properly up to the year 1826, at which time her husband embarked as master on board a ship of war. On his return after the battle of Navarieo, at which he was present, he found that his wife had been leading a dissolute life, and she was no longer worthy of his affection ; but he forgave her, and hoped to find in her repentance some return of the happiness which he had formerly enjoyed. The wife, however, far from replying to the kindness of her husband by good conduct, formed a con nexion with a married man, named Bescond, who resided in a village adjoining Brest, and by a long series of cruel treatment, in which she was aided by Bescond, drove her husband mad, and he was sent to a lunatic asylum. On his return home, cured of his malady, the brutality of the wife and her paramour, who, as an excuse for his frequent visits, had placed his daughter as a boarder lin the house of Castel, was in creased, and it was at length resolved, in the winter of 18:39, to deprive the unfortunate husband of his life. For this purpose the wife pretended [hat some money had been left to her husband at Havre, and a passport was obtained for them to go to that place. They quitted home in the evening in company with Bescond and his daughter, a girl of 21 years of age, and of Augustine Castel, the daughter of the married couple, aged 16. It was arranged with Castel that he and his wile should take leave of these three persons at the house of Bescond, whose wife was absent. When Castel had arrived there some warm wine was given to him, into which Bescond, with the knowledge of the wife and Augustine Castel, had put a large dose of laudanum, and when the poison had produced its effect, Castel, probably still living, was carried at night into a field belonging to Bescond, where the murderers, aided by the daughter of Bescond, who does not, however, ap pear to have been present at the murder, dug a grave into which they threw the body, and Bescond having cast over it two sacks of quick lime, in the hope of re moving all trace of the deed, the grave was filled up. After the murder, Bescond and the guilty widow led a life of great dissipation, frequented the theatres and masked balls, and appeared insensible to remorse. To persons who inquired for Castel, they replied that he had embarked at Havre for the colonies. The murder came to light in the following way :—The wife of Bes cond, having remonstrated with her husband and his mistress on their adulterous intercourse, it was resolved by them to murder her also. The plan laid by these wretches was overheard by the daughter of Bescond, who ran to her mother and told her to be on her guard, or she would be served as Castel had been, and then she related all the circumstances of the murder in the presence of a female friend of her mother. This fe male recommended that the crime should be de• nounced to the Procureur du Roi ; but to this neither the mother nor the daughter would consent, as they wished to spare the life of the husband and fa ther. The female in question, however, took an oppor tunity to send an anonymous letter to the Procureur du Roi, which led to the arrest of all the parties, in cluding the girl Bescond, and to the discovery of the body, which was found entire, although in an advanced stage of decomposition, having been buried more than six inout'as. In the grave was found a copy of the Criminal Code, which had belonged to Bescond, and the leaves of which were turned down at the part relating to the proceedings in cases of murder. Sixty wit nesses were examined, and not the slightest doubt ex isted on the minds of the Jury as to the guilt of all the parties, except the daughter of Bescond, who was ac quitted. Bescond and the widow Castel were sen tenced to death, and the daughter, Augustine Castel, was condemned to imprisonment in a house of correc tion for ten years, at the expiration of which she is to be placed for ten years under the surveillance of the police.
