RNING EDITION. POLITICAL SUMMARY OF THE MORNING JOURNALS. The limes of yesterday, speaking incidentally of Lord Sandon's notice of amendment on the. New Poor law Bill, says:--- , ‘ Such an emendment, of course, falls far short of the remedy which, in our opinion, must sooner or later be applied. and the principle which it ineolves. if consistently folloised out, would probaUy be found to strike at the root of the union sys tem. Still, it would not surprise us if many who do not open their eyerto the whole extent of the evil, were to vote with Lord Sandon when this proposition comes to be discussed, The stock argumerAlad those who advocate the Poor-law are fallacious and illogical, even with reference to the agricultural unions ; yet, as they pretend to be based upon facts having an existence in those unions, their fallacy requires to be exposed." The Morning Chronicle alludes in the following terms to Lord Denman's remarks on the Earl of Waldegrave's case in the House of. Lords on Monday :—" Asfar as Lord Denman was himself concerned, he did right in relieving himself from an unjust imputation. We are not so certain as to the propriety of his noticing the allusion in the newspapers to the case of a man lately sentenced by Mr. Justice Erskine to fifteen years' transportation for a less heinous offence than that of the Earl of W aldegrave and Captain Duff. We will not assume the possibility of the Noble and Learned Lord being actuated by any but the purest motives in the sentence which he shall pro nounce. We believe also that Mr. Justice Erskine merits the panegyric which his Lordship pronounced on him that a more excellent judge, or one that more applied himself to the facts and the evidence, did not exist. But if Mr. Justice Erskine did apply himself to the facts and the evidence, and is an ex cellent Judge, we do not see why a reference should not be made to a sentence pronounced by him, when parties are about to be sentenced for an offence simi ar to that which was pu nished by transportation for fifteen years, with the difference, that the case remaining for judgment is much the more flagrant." The Morning Herald, returning to the question of Puseyism, observes:—" If the Puseyite is justified in denying Christian burial to the child of a Dissenter, becaus-, in his opinions, he has not been canonically baptised, then, as we have already ob served, he would also have been justified in denying Christian burial to some of our moat distinguished Bishops—to Seeker, to Butler, or to Burnet, because they had never been episco pally baptised, and therefore, according to the Pusey doctrines, they were never members of the Christian church, thouga they had been consecrated Bishops according to the rites and cere monies of the Church of England. Yet these are the men who affect to uphold the apostolic succes ion of our English Bishops—to be the staunchest and truest friends of our eccle siastic establishment, and to be the only effective opponents of the Church of Rome I" The Morning Advertiser observes, in a leading article on the subject of Lord Denman's explanation of the Waldegrave case on Nlonlay in the House of Lords With great defer ence for Lord Denman's authority, we would ask, by what law is a pecuniary millet to acquit a noble from a wanton and out rageous assault, for which the untitled culprit would be vis:ted with imprisonment and even transportation? No just scale of punishment call be fixed by a pecuniary fine, the pressure of which must altogether depend upon the income of the in dividual, the poor man frequ .ntly finding it more difficult to pay twenty shilling:, than the rich man, like Lord Waldegrave, would to pay as ma , y hundred pounds." FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. (Froru the Standard.) The cuutt , y is large'y indebted to Lord Denman for his explanation in the House of Lords last nigh', a'- though, as a v:neL:ation of the Noble and Learned Lord's ennduc', it was p rfectly unnecessary. The public estiinate of Lord Denman's character as a Judge is the very Ii ; hest, in respect to his purity, temper, and independence of spirit. All parties concur in a .vareiog this praise to the admirable Magistra.e. and none more sincerely render it than the members cf tha party to whom, before his accession to the Bench, the Learned Chef Justice was through life must warmly, not to say bitterly, opposed. If there arc any dissentients from the geacral tribute of gratitude and reverence, they are to be found among his Lordship's former parji•ans. Alt f enusfb, however, it was quite unnecessary for Lord Denman to 4 efervi himself, it was due to his ofil e, and due tto t' e public, to a'.ow by his exalted example that the Peneh- bee ar g to vindicate its bounty. by . means less questionable than - Prosecutions, and that . t' e rople have a . right on their side to obta . in - 13414.4ti0n-isisest their most distinguf.;hed magistrates are accused of misconduct. The man who t ,;!her resents or despises pabl:c opinion, is an unsafe public marl in a free State. He may be sen honourable and a good man, by his proper place is in a private station ; yr if he etc ciie authority, an d either resent or despise the iudgmeot of hie fellow citizens, he must exercise it as a tyrant. As to t! 'e case which was the sul,ject of Lor 1 Doornail's explanation, it is one upon whicha great deal of idle vehemence has been squanderer'. Lord Waldegreve and another person are charged to have assaulted a porceman. This may be a very grave or a very trifling charge, not 'merely as regards the degree of injury inflicted, but also with re f erence to other circumstences. An assault may be anything between a menace with an uplifted finger and a cruel battery, verging closely upon homiei le. .Again, wietever may be the degree of personal injury, father circumstances may infinitely vary the degree tof legal guilt, just as we see t' a', even in homicide, there is a scale of guilt aseenniog gra Wally from actual murder up to perfect ineocence. lint at whatever point the d grey' of Lord Waldegrave arid his companion's guilt may be ultimately fixed, it is plainly unjust ,and foolish for those who know nothing either of the ara,unt of injury or the circumstances of the case, to pro nounce upon it. Nor would it have been ever proposed to do so if the accused had not been a Fear. Many thou sand assault cases, some r f them no doubt cases of gr:uvaus assault, are annually di posed of without the ,public, or any part of the public, assuming beforehand the e;crminatibn of the proper sentence. (From the Globe.) `We think Lord Denman owed it no less to his own repu'a lion as a judge than to the public, for whose interests he holds the office, to afford the explanation he has given. There is, however, one part of his observations in w hi c h th er e appears, in our view, more of soreness than of that calm dignity which so distinguishes ibis Lordship w hen on the Bench of Justice. We allude to the contemptuous expressions in which his Lordship is represented to have indulged respecting the reports of the newspapers—" of these it did not become him to take the slightest notice F' No one knows better than Lord Denman that it is the public press which secures the pure administration of :the laws ; and that were it not for the full and faithful " re ports" furnished by the daily journals of what takes place in the iCaurts of Justice, there would be great danger that our Judge;, mithdrawn as they would be from the public eye, and being no longer effectually responsible to public opinion, would become again the minions of the Court, and the Ministers of oppre:sion and injustice. When a distinguished fo emigner, visiting the old Courts at Westminster, expressed this surprise at the confined space within which the justice of the country, in its supreme Court of Judicature, was ministered, the Lord Chief Justice of that day replied, pointing to the reporters' Lox—" By means of those gentlemen - we administer justice in the presence of the whole nation." And as the public are present by means of the pre:s in the Courts of Just ice, so have they a right to discuss fre el y , b y the same means, the tion , duct of the counsel, the Judges, and of atl others engaged in the administration of justice. Nor does contempt for that institution, which is at once the glory and defence of cur country, comport with the respect for public opinion, from ewhi.h the laws derive their efficiency, and to which their ad enneistrators must always look for the vindication of their authority. ( From the Courier.) The speech of Mr. Fielden, prefatory of his motion for an instruction of the Committee to introduce a clause for the repeal of the New Poor Act, will comm Ind deep at tention by the unanswerable array of facts and reas,-,n ing which it presents. Unanswered it was, as well as sm a nswerable, and it was lost on a division by the large majority of one hundred and fifty-five to nine. This result will excite no surprise after the fate of former motions involving the same intent. The division list elsewhere will show how Members noted on this oee,asion, and we take this opportunity to impress upon all electors the paramount necessity of narrowly .and earnestly scanning the division lists generally, not with ireference only to the votes of the thoroughgoing herd of Whig and Radical supporters of new Poor-law .barbarism, 'tido are only wallowing in the mire of their natural siocatlon of oppression and hatre d of the poor, but With respect als, to the votes of p rofessin g Conserva tives, Which, if in the same sense of hostility to the poor, we trust will be uesoaringly recorded against them for the day of trial. We have had a great deal too much hollow .and hypocritical pret e nsion, much too large dose s of li p !service, about and against the new Poor-law, and much too little practical redemption of professions and pro mises, to satisfy us of the real good faith of various showy Conservatives on behalf of the poor. These addle headed and cold-hearted p eo pl e seem always to be eon neetiwz the rental of their estates wi,h the question of the sup- Tort of the poor, and te, have uppermost in their minds nothing l es s than the ranting warning of Lord Brougham to beware lest weir lands, hereditameuts, and premises, be eaten up by poor's rates. We arc far from de=icing one measure of justice fur Whigs and Radicals, and a n oth er f or pro !e ss i ng .Conservati ve s, on this question of P,,or-laws. The e t'- we trust, will serve all alike, and in fitting t season, on ,proof of delinquency discharge the one class from futu r e ser v the other. vice as well as MONEY MARK.ET and CITY NEWS. FROM THE MORNING PA PE,RSoOf Ffurtre7giligence CH RONICLE. —In the absence., athetbene brie arrival f rom the United Stat es, business and still clisappointeil has not arrival of the Pres ident steamer, at the Stock Excha n g e, where the dealers appear fudristihnecrlindeed to enter into any extensive operat i on s until some spatches have been Teedved. In our article of the 16th of Di cembor last there are some .cogent arguments used for an amendment of the la h w of banthke faig, and, in particular we argued strongly. forhaving to names of all partners in joint-stock banks, -without regardi t locality, registered at the Stamp-office, their deeds of sett.e .ment submitted to the inspection of a public officer, and that his certificate should be the warrant for the Stamp-office authorities to issue the license. We added, "The regulation ought not, however, to be confined to joint sock banks : it ought be extended to all fire and life insurance companies.' The Committee on Banks of Issue will, doubtless, con raider what amendments should be adopted as regards tele law regulating joint-stock banks. To speak, however, ea law on that subject, is incorrect. The country joint-stock banks are certainly established by statute, but the London joint-stock banks are merely suffered to exist, while their powers and privileges are unsettled - and undefined, and neither class is r e g ulated b y a ny well-digested uniform code of legisla tion. But if some general system of registration and loclg .lnent for inspection of the deeds of settlement be called for in .:‘,„ spect of joint-stock banks, as a measure of safety for the public Inter -ests, and to protect the rights of bona fide establishments from t ,purions companies, much more so is this the case in re garcijito other joint-stock companies, and particularly fire and e companies. In treating n if the loss to which the lifelnsur4 'c -toned from the want legislative . checks upon public was ex: l°- ' f this last description, we stated in the to "to make fiash‘establishme.' t3 , ° r k s before referred to , t hat ..,i n g they take car% by vi a r tu u n e o u o n f z a e erai.C.4.: lb"' course of our rem._ the picture more plea . .b tishwedhieuhmaterre e a n inii.: that the Company is est variety of Acts of Parham. n , .. , which I ' ve are the statutes applicable to ii.'en w dl t y s i o n cieties no power over or any thing to do 1 n insurance companies. .To prevent impositions, and to secure t he public in the belie ' Sts resultin from a proper systetn of well-conducted lif e 'insurance co g mpanies, the subject ought to be taken up by •aome active member of the Legislature.

C r 1 FOS e imiety of the b • .:.._, ...,) ug-neo domes generally to obtain some further news from America has been intense throughout the day, indeed far more so, we should hope, than the circumstance of the two countries, as they actually stand, at all warrant. At a meeting of Portuguese Bondholders held to-day some resolutions strongly deprecatory of the decree of the late Finance Minister at Lisbon were passed, we may say, unani mously, as they found but one single opponent. and this was in an individual who admitted his connection with the agency. The conduct of the contractors of the Penin,ular loans was, moreover, reflected upon in terms which called forth great ap probation, the remissness of the parties alluded to forming, . when compared with the active exertions of Messrs. Huller ( Brothers) and Co., Messrs. Powles and Co., and Messrs. Baring (Brothers) and Co., in the respective cases of Chili, Colombia, and Buenos Ayres, a contrast that was certainly not flattering to them. Some communicationsfrom Lord Palmer ston were read to the meeting, and gave much satisfaction, his Lordship evincing a disposition to push the interests of the Bondholders, not in the Peninsula alone, but in every other quarter where their claims aro not honestly met. The attend ance was unusually numerous. TIMES.—The wholesale grocers and refiners had a meeting to-day to consider the expediency of assimilating the mode of bringing forward Bengal and Mauritius sugars for sale to that adopted in the British plantation market. It seems that this branch of the trade have seized the present as the most fa vourable opportunity to impress upon the merchants, whom they must consult before their plan can be put into practice, their views of the case, the sugar market being in an excited state from the late failures. They propose that business shall be carried on by private contra ct, which they say will secure both to the importers and the trade a fair average price, besides obviating difficulties and losses arising from the se lection of buyers. To a private contract business they appear to think the dealings in this branch of the sugar trade must eventually come, as it is yearly increasing, and both descriptions are readily bought. Besides objecting to the system of public sales, as at present, on the score that at certain periods of the year serious fluctuations occur from exfensive imports, they also object to the system on account of the time occupied in the valuation of the description offered, and the examining of lots. They admit that at times public sales are necessary, but when these take place, they propose to regulate them irs respect to lots, &c., after the manner of the public sales of British plantation. Judging from the appear ance of the meeting, which included the leading members of this branch of the trade, and the unanimity that prevailed, there would seem to be good encouragement for the move ment. It was generally contended that bo !i the merchants and the trade would be much benefited by the altera'ion, and a Committee was appointed to confer with the merchants. Another meeting of the holders of Portuguese Bonds took place to-day, on the subject of the late decree for the conver sion of the bonds, and the conduct of the financial agency in endeavouring . , subsequent to the expression against it of a large meeting of bondholders, to carry it out. - This was strongly adverted to in the resolutions passed, the more so, as it transpired that our Government has instructed the Minister at Lisbon to enforce the claims of the bondholders, and that Lord Howard de Walden has already been in communication with M. de Magalhaes on the subject. The support of the committee of the Stock Exchange having been likewise se cured, the meeting determined to resist every compromise not based on fair and equitable terms, for which good and tangible security must be given. The public are already in possession of the facts that Captain Douglas, of the Cambridge, has been reimbursed his expenses for Ira gallant conduct in the Canton river, and that he ree ceived on Thursday last the order of knighthood. In addition to the honour thus conferred, he and the crew of the Cambridge have received remunerations on the following scale :—To Captain Douglas himself has been awarded 2,0001. ; to the first officer 1001. ; to the second 601. ; to the third and fourth, each, 50/. ; to the surgeon and purser, each, 80/. ; to the warrant officers, 401. each for those engaged in the action of Kow-lune, and 301. each for those not engaged ; to the petty officers 151. for those engaged, and 101. for those not engaged; to seamen in action 81. ; to those not in action 4/. ; while two seamen who have been severely wounded are allowed 20/. each. It is an interesting feature in this affair, that it is the first instance of an officer of a private merchant ship receiving the order of knighthood for his services, although officers in the East India Company's service have been known to receive that distinction. In the city this acknowledgment of valuable services is regarded with much satisfaction—in the first place, because it is thought the occasion was a most fitting one for conferring the honour ; in the second, because it is hoped that a precedent is established, according to which simi lar services may be similarly rewarded. LAW INTELLIGENCE. LYSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, MARCH 30. Before Mr. Commissioner REYNOLDS. ) •N RE GEORGE CROWLES. . - The insolvent in this applied to be discharged on .7aae bail. Mr. Commissioner REYNOLDS obs&Ted that very little more than twelve months had elapsed since !ho insolvent had passed through the Court before ; and he now found that +he amount of his debts was 4501., for which 1251. was without consideration. The applicant stated that he became security to Mr. Henry Lewes, one of the trustees to a loan society in Buckingham-street, Strand, for a sum of money ad vanced to a person named Wigley. The COMMISSIONER — SO I perceive by the schedule ; and I also find that this person is out on bail to the Court, and you, his security, are here to-day applying to be libe rated under similar circumstances. The insolvent's bail were about justifying, when The COMMISSIONER (addressing the clerk to the insol vent's attorney) said that on looking over the schedule be ob served a number of interlineat ions and initial letters marked opposite different items, which the insolvent said bad been done since he attached his signature, and before proceeding farther with the case he ( Mr. Commissioner R.) should require an explanation. The Clerk said the initials were those of his master's (M , . E Spencer's) name, and the alterations required to be made, as Mr. Spencer was very near-sight:li. The Learned COMMISSIONER said this was a very unsatis factory answer. He should stay the proceedings until Thursday, when Mr. Spencer would be required to attend and afford the Court a proper expl ination. The case was accordingly ordered to stand ova till Thursday next. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HOME CIRCUIT.-.-KINGSTON, MARCH 30. Both Courts proceeded to business this day. There are seventy-eight causes entered on the civil side, and the calendar contains the names of thirty-eight prisoners, and the offences comprise murder, attempted murder, burglary, and other serious offences. CROWN COURT. ( Before Mr. Baron PARKE. ) Thomas Harris, aged 34, and Sarah Harris, aged 32, his wife, were indicted for feloniously stealing six boxes and eighty pieces of Madras handkerchiefs, value 1501., the property of William Cobb. It appeared from the evidence, that in the month of De cember last an Indiaman, called the Claudine, on her voyage homeward, was stranded at Margate, and it was found necessary to remove the greater part of her cargo on shore, and amongst it were a number of boxes containing a quantity of pieces of handkerchiefs that had been manufactured at Madras, and were consigned to merchants in London, and these, with the rest of the property, were placed in a warehouse belonging to Mr. Cobb, who is an agent to Lloyd's, and a Custom's officer had them in charge. The warehouse was left safe on the night of the 4th December, and the next morning it was discovered that it had been entered, and that several of the boxes of handkerchiefs had been stolen, and from the tracks that were visible, it was evident that a horse and cart had been employed to assist in the robbery. The prisoner lived in a place called Somerset-buildings, in the Old Kent-road, and it was proved that on the day before the rob bery, he went out with his horse and cart, and did not return till a late hour of the night, and it was then observed that his cart was heavily laden, and, on his house being searched by the p , ,lice, the greater part of the stolen property was found in it. The prisoner and his wife absconded from the lodgings in Somerset-buildings, and when they were taken into custody, they were found living in another part of the town, under an assumed name. It was also proved that the prisoner was at Margate with a horse and cart on the evening the robbery was committed. The Jury found the male prisoner Guilty, and acquitted the woman. Mr. Baron PArtrz said that the circumstances of the case clearly showed that the prisoner was a practised offender, and he could not suffer him to remain in this country. He was then ordered to be transported for seven years. A young woman of respectable appearance, named Isabella Watkins, was convicted, upon very clear evidence, of stealing two shawls, the property of Messrs. Atkinson and Co., of the Westminster Bridge e road. She was seen to walk into the shop and take the shawls from a peg, and she was stopped with them in her possession. It also appeared that she had been before convicted of stealing a shawl from a haberdasher's shop and sentenced to three months' impr sonment. Baron PARKE told the prisoner that she appeared to be a confirmed shoplifter, and it was absolutely necessary that tradesmen should be protected from such persons as her. He then ordered her to be transported for seven years. The moment the sentence was pronounced, the prisoner ex claimed, " Thank you; I'm very much obliged to you, and may you sit there till I come back, you old -." The prisoner was about to utter tome more imprecations, and was with difficulty removed from the bar. The cases disposed of on the Civil side did not possess the least possible interest. MIDLAND CIRCUIT—WAnwzor, 1114-1" 26. the !. , ar charged with LRViin—lif *red Balduck was placed at -cif4ce, containing four el Porr-Grvicx Rosa feloniously stolen a letter from the Post notes, in the whole of the value of ti;.':. This case seemed to excite very great in terest, as well from the respectability of the prisoner and his conn ections, as from the frequency with which similar of fences are now perpetrated. It appeared from the evidence that a letter was delivered at the I3iimingham Post-office, containing directed to Messrs. Walters and the notes in question, letters .never having reached their destination, inquiry The set on foot, and the notes were traced to theon, ri i s nquiry was session at Stafford, h e having changed one of the ner's twenties P"- there. Ile had also changed another at the Grand • Junction Railway-office. The case was clearly brought home to the prisoner, and he was found Guilty. It is said that the prisoner, at the time he committed the robbery, had a salary of 3001. a year. ------- NORFOLK ClRCUlT—Ownunou, MAReg 27. BARLEY V. SANDLE, CUTTS, AND SMITH. The plaintiff, by his declaration, complained that the de fendants Sandle and Cutts, in July, 1839, put up certain estates for sale by auction, and advertised the sale to be without re serve, and that -.o " puffers" should b e employed, but that Smith was employed by them as a puffer, by rea son whereof the plaintiff was induced to purchase two bits at a higher price than he should have given ; and the plaintiff sought to recover damages for this alleged Nut y. The facts of this ease were singular, and excited great in terest from the respectability of the parties co icerned. Mr. Barley is an atto rne y at March, in the Isle of Ely; Mr. Cutts is also an attorney , and resides in Essex; tha other two defendants are gentlem en of fortune in that e'e l iiitv, Smith being a Quaker. In 1t5,38 a Miss Matthews :ed, havissg by her will devised certain estates at March to a Mrs. 0 7 . 4Plabing . for life, with remainder to Sandle i n fee. In in - that ) - - ~ ar the eleviiiee pld a portion of those esta t e s June plaintiff b ecgae * purchaser of lots 46 by auction. and the and 50, at the respective sass.... - es of 7401, a,nci !,?.„E40,/.

T and 40,000/ , being The sale produced between b,,, realized. In . the eve greatly beyond the sum expected to be got abroad, that the n c r ua g k of the sale-day a very general rumour vendor, and Cats, his Quaker was a " puffer," and Sandie, the that he was no t solicitor, were applied to, but they de clared a puffer, in . them, and that in fact the or any manner employed by weeks after the plaintiff y knew nothing of him. A few had purchased lots 46 and 50 be at- . ~'.- -~, THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDANIMARCH 31, is4l tempted to sell the latter by auction in 25 lots, but no pur chaser could be found. When the time for the completion of his purchase arrived the plaintiff refused to complete it, alleging that he had discovered that Smith was a " puffer" at the sale, and that he had therefore a right to rescind his con tract, and after much correspondence this action was brought. In order to make out the allegation that Smith was employed as a puffer, a Mr. Peed, an acquaintance of his, was called. Mr. Peed stated, that a week before the sale he had met Smith in Cambridge, and invited him to tea, and that during the e vening Smith had told him "in a very mysterious man ner " that he was employed to attend the sale in question, and that he was to be welt paid for his time and trouble. He produced to Peel and his family a smart travelling cap, and asked him "if he did not think it had a very Gurney-like look." Finding that this nonsense amused the tea-party, Mr. Smith told him he should wear it when he went to view the property, and the people at March would be all agog to know who so opulent-looking a Quaker might be. He Wither in formed them that when he arrived at March he should alight from his carriage at Gurney's branch bank, where he should ask for change for a sovereign with such an air that the clerks and every body who saw him there would infallibly take him for a Gurney. With these and similar ab surdities did the Quaker beguile the long summer's eve with his friends, who looked upon it as a serious intimation that he was suing to practise them, little dreaming that he was only impo,- mg upon their good-natured credulity. On the following day Sir. Smith pursued his journey to March, where his r, spectable and wealthy appearance caused gr, at commotion. He called upon the plaintiff's partner, who showed him some of the :cost valuable portions of the estate, and who asked him if he was one of the Gurneys, when he said he was not, but that he had married from Mr. Gurney': house, or something to that effect. At the sale Mr. Smith again made his appearance, being " the Quaker in the orchestra " already mentioned; and it was the circum'tance of his cinstant but ineffectual biddings which caused the ru mour of his being a puffer. On his return from Mal ch he again drank tea with his friend Mr. Peed, whom he amused with a laughable account of the sensation he had caused, add ing, in a whisper, " that the thing had worked well, and the sale had produced 5,0001. beyond the reserved bids." This also Peed entirely believed, and in due time communicatedto the plaintiff. In order to connect Mr. Cutts with Smith fir the purpose of inducing a belief that the latter had been employed by him, it was proved that they had had various bikiness transactions together during the last 10 years, and that a month before the sale Cutts had drawn a check in his favour for 401., and another for 341. a week after the sale. Mr. Sandle was not shown to have taken the slightest part in the transaction, or to have any knowledge of Smith. On the part of the defen dants, it was shown that a Mr. Parkinson was the own..r of property adjoining lot 50, and very desirous of purchasing that lot; but that he had employed an attorney at Wistoach in the matter, and that the plaintiff had declared that " he should not have the lot, as he went to Wisbeach for his lawyer." After the disputes between the parties had arisen, the plaintiff said " he would make the vendors give him Lantern-close (lot 46) to settle with him," which, hos ever, d d not appear to have been seriously said. Parkinson and Smith wire both bidders for lot 50, and such was the excitement and eagerness as to this lot, that the plaintiff made an advance bidding of 5001. instead of 501., but was allowed by Mr. Cutts to retract it. After the Counsel for the defence had been heard, The Learned JUDGE told them that if a person is secretly employed by a vendor to bid at a sale, not for the purpose of buying or preventing a sale -at an undervalue, but to take ad vantage of the eagerness of buyers in order to enhance the price, the parties are in point of law guilty of a fraud. His Lordship recapitulated the evidence minutely and carefully, leaving it to the Jury to say if they could see any satisfactory evidence of the conspiracy charged in the declaration. The Jury retiied, and in a few minutes returned with a ver dict for the defendants. _ . .„. ...-.... ...... This trial, although the facts of the case were few and simple, Lasted nearly two entire days. With this case the business of the Assizes for this county terminated. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. WORSHIP-STREET. A NIGHT ADVENTURE ON THE CANAL-Samuel Con litf, a stlut and rugged canal boatman,rwas put to the bar before Mr. Bingham under tt:e following !cher culims circumstanc..a:— It appeared from the evidence of William Taylor, a private watchman at the C.ty basin, City-road, that he was on duty at one o'clock that morning, when he he..rd the cries of a woman in distress apparently proceed ing from one of the barges on the canal, and on repairing to the spot he perceived the prisoner leaning over the side of a barge, and grasping the arm of a wo man, who was up to ELT chin is the water. It did not appear that his object was to save her, fur he was !sobbing her head up and down in the water, and it was the im pression of witness that be intended to drown her. He imme !lately jumped into a boat and made towards the woman, and on pulling her out of tho water he found a long piece of cord tied to one of her arista. Up,:n her sta'ing that the prisoner was her husband he desired toe latter to admit her into his barge, but the prisoner, ai h many oaths, refused to do so Witness was then about to assist her into the barge, but the woman saved him the trouble, and sprang on bott-el with the agility of a cat, after which she dined down through a hole in the deck, and disappeared. The prisoner, ie the meantime, was amusing himself by striking right and left at witness, and the latter finding himself unable to cope with him single-handed, sprang his rattle, and three or four policemen of the N division came to his assistance. After a desperate struggle, thy succeeded in overponer ing the prisoner, whom they conveyed to t'-.e station house, Sergeant Clarke, of the N div:sion, stated that the policemen who boarded the barges were headed by In spector Tonge, and they had closed with the prisoner, and nearly secured him, when he found an unexpected ally in the person of his wise, who suddenly reappeared upon deck, and made an impetuous attack upon the party. She stood up to the policemen like a man, and knocked them about .6i in the strength and skill of an experienced priz:-fighter. Police Con stable N 53, nearly lost his life in the affray, having been thrust overboard, but after sinking one!: to the bottom, he was extricated from his peril/US situation, and dragged, half-drowned, into the waterman's boat. The prisoner was very drank, and but for t..e praiseworthy conduct of Taylor, in the first instaace, both he and his wife would, in all probability, have been drowned. Tire prisoner's wife was then called, and, on being de sired to give her account of the transaction, she stated that she was ie bed with her husband in the cabin, when she recollected that she had left something on deck which ought to have been put away, and she went up for it, but whist groping a'rout in the dark she mined footing and tumbled headlong into the canal. Her hus band was awakened by her cries, and he came to her as si,tance, but, unfortunately, he was so excessively d unk that, instead of pulling her forward, he pushed her back, and with the very best intentions, nearly drowned her. Mr. BINGHAM slid that the conduct of the watchman had been highly meritorious, and he should order t' c pri soner t p pay a fine of 40'., or be committed to the House of Correction for six weeks. _ _ The prisoner was locked up, but in the course of the day his wife contrived to raise the money, upon which he was liberated. BOROUGH COURT OF REQ JESTS. AN IRISH DUEL.—" Potts against .Mullowny 1" shouted the crier of the Court, soon aft2r the Commis sioners arrived. " Here's Potts," replied a gruff voice, and immedi ately an eighteen-stane specimen of humanity made his appearance in fiont. 4. Is Mullowny here ?" ilemande I the crier. " Faith, an' he is there, honey," exclaimed a voice in the rear of the court. Crier—" Then why don't you answer to your name Muilowny—" Maybe, honey, it isn't sich illigant long ears I've got as yoursel, God help me."—(Laughter.) COMMISSIONER—WI:at is all this about ? Mr. Potts informed the Court that the defendant, Mullowny, had broken two panes of glass in his tap room window, the value of which, six shillings, be now sought - to recover from him. The CommissioNEf inquired under what circum stances the windows were broken? The plaintiff said that the defendant and a num ber of other Irishmen were in the habit of frequenting his taproom, among whom, of late, many terrible rows had taken place, owing to their having formed themselves into two opposite parties, one side advocating the repeal of the union, and the other as strenuously opposing it. In one of their recent brawls., the defendant and another man retired outside the door, armed with a couple of stout sticks, for the purpose of settl ng some knotty point io their argument by means of the said cudgels, arid in the heat of the contest his two windows got smashed. COMMISSIONER—How do you know that it was the defendant who broke them ? " 6 My potboy was outside, and he saw him break them," replied Mr. Potts. COMMISSIONER—Now, Mullowny, what have you to say to this ? Defendant—Wid yer banner's lave I'll explain to the koort. tuk a dhrop too much drink whin we got spakin' iv the rapale iv the union, and while I was telling 'em how it 'ud make ivery Irishman a rale jintleman, an praising up that thrue pathriot Mishter O'Connell, Larry Connor, the blaggard, towlt me I was t.!ling lies to the faca iv me, an swore Mishter O'Connell cared snore a bout rint thin repale. " Bad look to mee," ses 1, "an is it that what ye mane, Larry ? " " Sure an it is thin, Teddy Mullowny, " says he " Thin it's satisfaction I'll bare out iv ye," ses I. Wid that, yer harmer, we borrowed two cudgels to do the the thing gintaily, an had a comfortable duel with witch other."—( Laughter.) • COMMISSIONER—YOU haven't said a word about the windows ; how came you to bretit them? You might o e m have fou g h t your d ue l w i t h out t h at. D: fo n d ant —F a i t, yer K anner, I k now no more a b ou t s n i s o kfr N sp 'em thin a suc ki ng p i g .

A, his lately been announced in the newspapers as having occurred at Paris, at the advanced age of 84, From the bi3graplaical sketch accompanying tne announcement he appears to have been an actor in the principal revolueion. ary scenes in Pa i; at the time of the imprisonment (.1' Louis XVI„ and subsequently,litit attached to the royalist cause. The writer of this paragraph was introduced h m by mere accident at Paris, in 1825, as a Scotchman. By way of tasting him the question was put jocularly, " Hoe's a' wi' ye, man?" The old man instantly held out his band, and, giving the other proffered hand a hearty slap and shake, answered, with great emphasis, " Man, I'm bravely!' He was a native of Glasgow, and in 1825 had been absent from it 50 yeas, having left it when he was 18. The palace of the Luxembourg seemed to to his home, and every door was opened at his bidding.— Glasgow Courier. We understand that Zephaniah Williams, one of the three Chartists, and who was employed as an over seer at the coat mines, had made his escape from Tas man's Peninsula, taking with him four men, one of whom, named County, formed part of the craw who ran away with the c3mmandant's boat some months since. When the Tamar left two of the party, Cour ty and Rooke, had been taken near East BaliNeck.—lbbart Town Courier, Nov. 17, A hive of bees, the property of Mr. R. IVlar shall, of Branxton, near Coldstre •ru, left the hive a f, ry days ago, and whilst Mr. A. Rankin was observing their prcceedings, they lighted upon his back, when an attempt was made to sweep them off, which did not succeed. Mr. Rankin was then obliged to strip off his coat, asd being well skilled in the manageme nt of bees, he imme diately dived amongst them with his angers and caught the queen bee, which he returned back to the hive, and in an instant the whole swarm were quiet, and he did not receive a single sting.— Tyne Pilot. THE ATLANTIC STEAMERS.--(From the Liverpool Albion of Monday.)—lf the President sailed from New York on the loth instant, she has, at the tine of our writing this paragraph, been I t 3- days on her pas. sage. As this would be a very long one for a steamer, it is conjectured, th,t, no accident having happened to h t ii oaa her voyage, she could not have sailed on the day pre viowly fixed. All that i; known respecting' her i 4, that Cit.ta:o it berts had orders t) c omply Kith any s e(' res , our Mini ter at Wash;ngtoc, rni:!ht oihke for her rietcni.ic,n to w.vey despatches to Englwid. The P.rtannia would sail from lioq'&1 we 1 1.:th The chances are, therefore, no w , (pal that t he will arriv e a s soon as the President. Both vessels may reach port in the course of the day.
