MORNING EDITION SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE DAILY PAPERS OF SATURDAY. TIMES.—We take blame to ourselves for having suffered any of our Contemporaries to anticipate u 3 in the expression of their just indignation at the atrocity perpetrated by Lord Cardigan in the Hounslo ,, v Riding-school on Easter day. The public is, unhappily, too well acquainted with that noble man's character, to feel much surprise at hearing. that he dis regards the solemn oreinances of religion; nor is his reputa tion for mildness as a disciplinarian so well established as to make the infliction of corporal punishment upon a soldier under his command appear an extraordinary thing. But we did not think Her Majesty's army contained a person who could deliberately choose Sunday of all days in the week, and Easter-day of all Sundays in the year, for the execution of a sentence, always barbarous and disgusting, upon one of his men,—who, not content with this, could summon his soldiers to witness the savage spectacle within half an hour after the conclusion of divine service, in the very place where they had just before assembled for the worship of God. All this Lord Cardigan did. On the most sacred and solemn fes tival of the Christian Church, the anniversary of the Resides tion of our Blessed Lord,—on that day, surrounded as it is with irresistible associations of mercy, pardon, and peace, pro claiming the terms of amnesty and free forgiveness to every sinful soul,—this wretched being, whom men call noble, who thinks himself honourable, who is an officer bearing the com mission of a Christian Queen, and the acting Lieutenant of that Queen's husband, did not scruple to exact from a fellow creature, in the building just used as a house of prayer, the most inhuman of all the penalties tolerated by law. We doubt if in the whole series of 180 n years which have elapsed since the great Event which the Church commemorates at Easter, any thing parallel to this act has before occurred ; and, under all the circumstances, we can hardly speak of it as less than dia bolical. Precedents there have been for the infliction of cor poral punishments in the British army en Sundays, under cir cumstances of pee uliar emergency. But for their inilictlon on Easter Sunday, we trust—we believe—we feel sure, that no precedent has ever been known ; and we can imagine no exi gency, short of mutiny itself, by which it could possibly bejus tified. Having thus expressed the feelings which this oc currence is catcula.ted to excite in- every Christian mind, we have next to inquire what Ministers and the authorities at the Horse Guards intend to do ? No one pretends to defend Lord Cardigan's conduct. It has been the subject of two conversa tions in the House of Commons, and the Secretary at War has pronounced it to be " most improper and culpable ;"—unpre cedented, because officers of the greatest standing and expe rience in the service agree that " such punishments can never be justifiably inflicted except in cases of military exigency, and on march, when there is no choice ;" wanton and gratuitous, because in the case of the soldier eunished by Lord Cardiga.n, " the punishment might, without the smallest inconvenience, have been post poned till the next day." What, then, is to be done with this inveterate offender, this plague-spot of the British army, who e etems to exist for the single purpose of vetting public opinion at ceetiance, and bringing discredit upon the unwise clemency which re stored him, after one well-merited disgrace, to em ployments :,r which he is by temper and character thoroughly di-qualified ? 0:1 Tu day Mr. _Macaulay assured the House of Commons that .. s mell notice had been taken, and would be taken, of the case, a; would Actually prevent the recurrence of any simi lar one in future ; antioipetine, we suppose, Lord Hill's general order upon the occasion, ,whieli we publish to-day. That do cument does, indeed. characterize, Lord Cardigan's conduct in terms of very pointed censure. "It is well known," says Lord Hill, "that it is nut the practice of this country to carry the penal sentences of the law into execution on the Lord's-day ; neither is it the practice of the army, whether employed ahead or at home. The General Commanding-in-Chief is, there fore, surprised that an officer in the situation of Lieutenant kolonel commanding a regiment, should have carried such a sentence into execution on Sunday." This is very well as felt as it gees ; but it is not with a bare expression di...on! Hill's " surprise" and disapprobation that the public will remain satisfied. It will be their turn to be " :surprised," if the officer who, in addition to his many other notorious delinquencies, has committed this revolting outrage upon humanity, decency, and religion. is suffered to remain et in the situation of a Lieutenant-Colonel commanding a re git.ient." Should their reasonable expectations on this point be ales longer disappointed, we trust some independent Mem ber of the House of Commons will take an early opportunity of cutting the Gordian knot, and move an address to the Crown for the removal of the Earl of Cardigan from the Lieutenant- Coloneley of the II ti, Hussars. I.DVERTISEII.—A " General Order" from the Horse Guaseds appears in our columns to-day, in reference to the re cent re vatting desecration of the Sabbath by Lord Cardigan, in having a man flogged at Hounslow immediately after divine serv ice There aepears in this " Order" a great discrepancy from the statement made. by Mr. Macaulay in the House of sGenmons, when he intimated that it was not unusual for cor poral punishment in the army to be inflicted on the Lord's Day. The Adjutant-General distinctly states that " it is well known that it is not the practice of this country to carry penal sen eeness of the law into execution on the Lord's Day ; neither is it the practice ot'' the army, whether employed abroad or at Louie ;" and that " the General Commanding in-Chief is therefore surprised that an officer in the situation of Lieutenant-Colonel commanding a regiment, shou!d have carded such a sentence into execution on Sunday." We are esratified thus to learn that even the Sabbath in the army S. not generally outraged by such a sanguinary abomination as that perpetrated at Hounslow ; but we are astonished that the Gencrel Commander-in-Chief, after having endeavoured to screen Isord Cardi g an's infamous aggressions on the feelings of the officers under his command, after the thorough contempt that his Lordslsip has evinced on aid innumerable variety of occasions for public opinion and public decenity, and after the Commander-in-Chief having thrown the shield of his most culpable protection over the ignoble. offender, whereby he virtually acknowledged that _L or d' s prescriptive right to exemption from military penalty, Sloe - ever enormous his transgression—under such authorised immunity of offence, we are astonished that the " General et Commander-in-Chief " should "feel surprise" at any out eaans which Lord Cardigan could offer to military discipline or vublic decency. For our own part, we are not at all sur prises! at Lord Cardigan's conduct. It was a thing to be ex pected. When superior authority connive at dereliction of public duty, it cannot be expected that parties tempted to its violation ivi.l he scrupulous in its observance. In retaining ,Lora Cardigan in the service, after the inexcusable offences proved against him, Lord Hill identified himself with these offences, and therefore ought not to feel surprise at their repe titiun. For all subsequent delinquencies, it is not Lord Car digan who is to blame, so much as the system which tolerated j his endurance in an appointment whet sin he had exhibited j such glaring proofs of incompetency and unjust and tyrannical sninistration. HER ALD.—A general order, dated 22d April, 1841, has been issue 1 from the Hore Guards, on the subject of the punishment of a soldier of the 11th Hussars in the Ridincs house, at Hounslow, on Sunday, the 11th of April. In so far nts the terms of this order expressly corroborate the views we took, and the opinion; we expressed in the Herald of the day beeeore yesterday, it is impossible that we should find any fault with them. We had said of .Mr. Macaulay's speech on the 21st instant on the subject, that it did not vindicate Lord Cardi gan friers? the charge of having " needlessly and offensively desecrated the Sabbath." The general public order ( which we publish in another column) declares it to be " well known that if is not the practice of the country to carry the penal seneenees of the law into execution on the Lord's Day ; neither is it the practice of the army whether employed abroad or aseehome." In the Herald of the 15th in stant, we treated the infliction of this punishment on the Sab bath, as " an unseemly ,14Tront on the solemn ceremonies which had just before been ce seseluded ;" and we contended that " nothing but a sudden act see mutiny on the part of the offender, or the circumst ince of h. 's regiment being in actual service, or in the field, or doing duty iii e. eis garrison town where it might be of incalculable moment to it instantaneously every flagrant breach of discipline," would tee a ground of jus tification for such a course. Now the gee se:al order" seems to confirm this opinion distinctly. It m i g ;:t be surmised by anybody, who had had no experience of the immu table justice and stern impartiality of the Hors,. Guards, that after the recital of the offence in the firs -t para graph of the " order," it would have gone a.' toe denounce the offender ; and by name. Oh, no ! 't should seem that the Lieutenant-Colonel of " Prince Albert . 'a Own" has the privilege of exemption from all personal desig nation in a public document that is expressedin the language of censure. " The General Commanding in-Chief is there fore surprised that an officer in the situation of Lieutenant- Colonel commanding a regiment, should have carried such a sentence into execution on Sunday." The uninformed public, or that portion of it at least which a year hence may be rude enough to ha ve f orgo tt en L or d C ar di gan an d all his graceful levities, may thus be left to its own memory, or to consult the whoauthority of an old Army Li s t, in order to determine was this " great un-named," whom even the rude censure of a General Order forbore to indicate by any other identification than that of " a Lieutenant. Colonel commanding a resiment " A lucky man the " Lieu tenant-Colonel " certainly - is! . But, since the authorities at the Horse Guards seem at s aloss to decide how their " general or der " should be made to apply, since it is evident that James Earl of Cardigan, is not to be en assumed to be intended by its terms, sac would s t ro nglyrecommend ie to the Noble and Gallant Lord, the Commander in- Chief, put tho old-fa shioned superscription at thw head of docu ment—namely, " To all w hom. it may c errnem,arkTahbele,ali,, we verily believe , would com p reh end but one officer i b n her :Majesty's dominions ; and, in that case, the Earl of Cardigan would make good his tit le to. . thii sole prope r t y i n the Coan inander-in-Chiers mysterious communication! POST.—In a very well-written article, as opposite as pos sible in tone and temper to t hat " ex p losion" upon which we animadverted in our paper of Thursday morning, th e Times endeavours to explain away the natural deductions which we made from the violence of which it was guilty on the day before. In its publication of yesterday our Contemporary says—" W . e observe that an article which we publish ed on 'I hursday (t us should be Wednesday), has been mista ken b y a respect able morning Contemporary for an 'explosion' of anger against the Conservative party in general , on account of some supposed lukewarmness of the Nottingham Conservatives in support of Mr. Walter. Now, as we never had the -smallest reason to believe that any such lukewartnness .existed, it is scarcely necessary for us to disclaim the map utation of having written under the influence of the leeling which our Contemporary imagines." We are glad to fuel that the Times was not influenced as we supposed it was. and did not mean to level any volley of abuse against the loaders of the Conservative party. We are very well pleased indeed to hear this, but our pleasure we must confess is dashed with regret that writers so experienced and so influential as those of the Times should express themselves in a manner so liable and likely to be misunderstood. We hope it is scarcely necessary to say that we should rot presume to make this remark if we alone had been "mistaken" in the manner pointed out by our Contemporary. In that case we . should have apologised for our error of perception, and there Save let the matter drop. Bait as we find that the Chronicle, l'he Sun, and the Globe, that is to say, all the London Papers which took any notice at all of the article in the Times upen which we animadverted , fell precisely into the same error as we did in its interpretation, we hope we may be permitted to say that it were well if the very important leaders of the Tizzies were written more perspicuously. CH RONICLE.—The honest man and staunch Conserva tive of 4he Times who refused any longer to subscribe to the Consekative association, as, by turning out the present Ali nieery,the.country would only gain the substitute of one set of ,soundrels for another," , has been so f ar disavowed by that journal, that it says it had not the remotest idea of ap plying the phrase in its literal sense to Lord Lansiowee or Lord John Russell, much less to such men as Lbrd Stanley, Lord Lyndhurst, and Sir Robert Peel. But though the Times did not coece i wa the above personages to , be literally s. oundrels, it " thought it well to let the Conservative leaders see what bit terness of feeling their Whig propensities have a tendency to excite in the minds of what we verily believe to be a large class of their most valuable supporters." The Conserva tive leaders are, it seems, at issue on " subjects of the gravest importance to both Church and State." However, Sir tßobert Peel is still allowed a locus penitentice. He has given grave offence on =my occasions to the great body of the Conser 'atine, but he may still command the support of the immense m a jority of Conservatives if he will adopt the views of those who re gard the present Poor-law as a measure impolitic,unjust,unchari table, and unchristian. But if he reckons upon their support without adopting their views, he must ultimately split up on the rock of the Poor-law. s. If," c onc l u d es th e Times, "ave must either acquiesce in the new Poor-law, or abandon him (Sir R. Peel), we cannot lone hesitate which alternative to ...choose." It would be difficult to understand how Sir Robert Peel could, at the twelfth hour, alyindon the opinions respec ting the new Poor-law which he has recorded a hundred times. without proclaiming himself the scoundrel which he is merely called in the bitterness of disappointment by honest and staunch Conservatives. GLOBE.—A strife for pre eminence in Chartist fa vour seems to be established between the Times and the Northern Star. The former journal has no less than three Chartist articles in its publication of this morn ng, in support of the Chartist-Conservative candidate for Nottingham, to whose " personal interests" it seams disposed to sacrifice what little remnant of reputation I remained to its advocacy. As it attacks the Globe in one of those articles on the subject of opening Regent's Park to the public, an allusion to that article may be excused. We are able to state distinctly, as an answer sufficiently subversive of the gratuitous assumptions and unfounded assertions of our abusive Contempo rary, that the Commissioners of Woods and Forests in tend to throw open all the unoccupied gress land in the Regent's Park for the free use of the public ; and that their only hesitation on the subject had arisen from the consideration, how far it could be done consistently with what was due to good faith towards the lessees of the villas, who have expended large sums in their construc tion and ornament. The impudence with which the Times has indulged in the assumption; and assertions we have referred to, is assuredly unmatched except by itself. " If," says tkis most courageous violator of truth and decency—" if the country had been earlier cursed with the evil incumbency of the Whigs, it is certain that not an acre of the Crown lands would cvsr have been ornamented for public convenience ; and, above all, not so much as a hen-walk would have been apportioned to the poor," &c. &c. There is nothing more capable of proof, that in no one circumstance has the present Government been more advantageously contrasted with former Govern ments that in its earnest desire to afford accommoda tion in, and facilities of access to, all public property and institutions, to all classes of the community. This year Primrose-hilt has been purchased by Govern merit for the use of the public, and secured against be ing inclosed and built upon ; the G:een Park has been improved for the accommodation of foot-passengers ; and in the increasing number of persons who take ad vantage of Hampton Court being opened to the public, we see the gratifying results of Lard Deocannon's wise consideration for the public enjoyment and improve. ment, when in the pursuit of pleasure and recreation. COU BIER.—It is reported in the City that the shareholders of the British Iron Company, of the direction of which Mr. de Hochepied Larpent is Chairman, are about to start Major Richardson as a candidate for Not tingham against him, on the liberal interest. The circum • stances attending this curious division in the liberal ranks may be thus briefly explained. It is known that violent dissensions have long existed among the Shareholders of that Company, but more particularly between a consi derable section of the Shareholders and the Directors, and that the affairs of this extensive Association are in much confusion, principally through the tuinously expen sive litigation with Mr. Attwood, and the ultimate loss of the suits at law in which it was involved with him. When matters are in an unprosperous state, and people lose their money, they are seldom found to keep their temper ; a general truism, which is not gainsaid in the instance of the British Iron Company, the members of which, as before observed, are all at loggerheads. The Directors, of course, and whether with or without rea son, in respect of which no opinion need be hazarded, come in for a large share of censure for the adverse situation of the Company's affairs, and Major Richardson. as the leader of the malcontents, is therefore peculiarly pitted against Mr. de Hochepied Lerpont, who is champion as well as chairman of the directory. The parties, it is understood, after various stormy general meetings, have got into Chancery; where of course they are likely to remain. Considering that about one million sterling of the shareholders' money has been expended or wasted from first to last in this most unfortunate and mismanaged concern, it is really not to be wondered that the luckless losers, many of whom may be en tirely ruined by the result, shall become exasperated and litigious. Hence the proposition of the body, in gratitude for his exertions in their cause, to nominate and run Major Richardson against Mr. De Larpent, and as the Major is a well-known Liberal, and of much longer standing as such than the merchant, for he early fleshed his sword for liberty in the cause of Colombia, it is believed that he will carry with him the vast ma jority of the Liberal interest in Nottingham, whatever that may amount to. The Major is, besides, an effec tive orator, and can bounce about the Ballot, and cut capers to the usual party fiddling anent Corn-laws, and Church-rates, in much more approved ad caj;tandum style than his less experienced trading compeer can make pretension to. STANDARD.—Ministers have suffsired another defeat, and a defeat of that description of which they have a monopoly in our political history—a defeat in a case in which even success would be infamous. A clause had been introduced into the Ministerial Bill for the administration of justice, excluding from a right to compensation the holders of all offices abo lished by the Bill whose appointments did not bear a date prior to the 14th of March, 1840, when Ministers first introduced their measure. The purpose of this limitation was to deprive an individuel, time Honourable Robert Scarlett, of the benefit of a claim to which he would regularly be entitled, for no other imaginable reason than that the Learned Gen tleman is an able and consistent Conservative. The apology for the meditated injustice only exposes more offensively the meanness of those who attempted it. Lord Abinger, it is said, who named Mr. Scarlett to the office, must have been aware that Ministers intended to abolish it ; and, therefore, ought to have appointed, not a gentleman of high standing, and character, and long experience at the bar, like Mr Scarlett, but some one who had either no private professional duties to he interrupted, or such professional prospects only as he could afford to sell for the consideration of a few months' official salary ; and Lord J. Russell il lustrated and enforced this argument by a story of a pri vate secretary of his own, who had received no compen sation for the loss of an office to which he had been appointed upon the eve of its abolition. Every one can sec through this mass of fallacies. Lord Abinger was bound to appoint an efficient person in whom be could confide to discharge the duties of an important office, these duties being constant, and always of equal delicacy and magnitude ; and his Lordship was to know nothing of the designed proposition of Government, nor was he to anticipate the decision of Parliament upon the pro position when made.

THE SUN, LONDON, MOND/AN, APRIL 26. IP4I AUSTiiALIA. Extract; from a pamphlet entitled " The Resourcos of Australia," written by an A u4traliaa Coloiiist, who had been fourteen years in the country, ac.l published by Smith, Elder, and Co. The number of sheep in tl:e Australian colonies at present may amount to four millions or upwards. Under good management they will doubler. them ,elves in three years. I am aware that this is a more rapid rate of increase than has hitherto: taken place for any length of time in the Australian nies taken together. But either from inexperience or the want of mesas, on the part of the proprietors, sheep have not generally been managed in the best manner. Great improvements have of late taken place in this respect in New South \Vales, and it is to be hoped that those improvements will become general. Under tolerable management, however, sheep will double themselves in four years. Taking the press tit stock of sheep then in the Australian colonies to be four millions, and supposing that they will incr; ate iit that rate, in the year 1861 t.tey will amount to 128,000,000, the number suffic'ent (allowing five Leres to each sheep) to stock 640,000,000 acres, that is the portion of Australia which I have supposed to be avail able for pasturage. " The population of the Australian colonies, inciudirg Vau Dieman's L And, may at present amount to 200,000 souls. Should the ratio of thc population and the stock of sheep remain unaltered ; and if these are what I sup pored thew to be, the population of the island of New Holland will be 6,400,001), when the number of sheep amounts to 256 000,000. Such a population, how ever, would not be necessary for the management of that number of sheep, and the present proportion can not long continue, unless some other branches of iudus try are extensively carried on. " New Zealand has a soil and climate peculiarly fitted for the cultivation of grain. At the same time it has few natural pastures fitted for sheep and cattle. This country, then, appears to have been intended by nature for the granary of New Holland—to supply per with wheat and other grain in exchange for beef and mutton, and in the course of time, perhaps, also in exchange for wine. The voyage between the two countries is made in from eight to fourteen days. Steam navigation will reduce it to half that time. Instead, then, of being j aloes of the settlements that are forming in New Zealand, as so much abstracted from their own wealth and resources, the colonists of Australia ought to rejoice at their formation, and to encourage them by all the means in their power. The wheat they will get from New Zealand will not cost the half of what they would have to expend in raising it themselves. On the other hind, Australia can supply the New Zealanders with beef and muttau at a cheaper rate than they themselves can raise those commodities. The industry of neither country then int.irfert.s with that of the other', and each of them furnishing these commodities which the other wants, the two countries seem destined to be bound together by the closest ties of mutual interest. " Though the climate of Australia is unfavourable to the production of grain, yet it is likely that the cul. ture of the vine will succeed. The vine is capable of enduring drought, and thrives in a dry cli mate. Dry countries produce the best wines ; and in those countries that are famous for wines, the vintages of dry seasons are the best. These cir cumstances might lead us to conclude that Aus tral.a is fitted for the production of wine. The country also abounds in coal. It has been found in the district of Hunter's River, among the . BMe Mountain and Darling Ranges, and in the Port Phil p district. Mines have for a numberaaf ye irs been open at Newcastle, at the mouth of the Hunter, and arc now worked by the Australian Agricultural Company, who have a monopoly of the colonial coal, and the sole right of working mines within the limits of the colony. T►,is exclusive right is felt and complained of as a great grievance by the colonists ; and it is to be hoped that the Government, for the good of the colony, and for their own credit as Liberal Statesmen, will do away with the abuse as soon as possible. Coal has also been found near the heads of several of the branches of the Hunter more than 100 miles from Newcastle, and at various intermediate points. From these indications there is reason to beleive that a continuous bed of co ils extends throughout the whole valley of the Hunter, and in this district may yet spring up the Manchester and the Birmingham of Australia, as Australia may yet become the Britain of the southern hemisphere. " Besides coal, New South Wales also possesses abundance of the article which, to a manufacturing country, is next in importance, that is, iron ore, of the riche3t description. She has thus an unlimited com mand of the bones as well as of the muscles of ma chinery, and contains vast magazines of hoarded ma terials as well as of the power necessary to carry those materials through a multiplicity of processes until they arrive at a finished and perfect form. " The whale fishery has in past years been a source of wealth to several of the enterprising colonists of Aus tralia. and it may continue to be so in future years. The country is infested with a species of dog, called the " native dog," from its . being a native of the colony. This animal abounds in all parts of the island, and is very destructive among sheep. The actual loss occasioned by its devastation is not incensiderablo but this is trifling, compared with the expense which the settler incurs in guarding against its ravages. The flocks must be constantly attended by a shepherd during the day, and by a watchman at night. Unless those precautions were taken, not a sheep would in a sho: t t . me remain in the colony. Such is the nature of native dogs, that they are not, like other beasts of prey, content with kil ling what they require to satiate their hunger. If they happen to fall upon an unprotected flock of sheep, they will kill and wound as many as they can, as if they de lighted is dest•uction. The sheep that urc severely bit by them seldom recover. " About 500 sheep are usually entrusted to a shep herd, and form a flock. Two such flocks are usually folded during the night at one station, under the care of a watchman. Were it not for the danger arising from native dogs, double the number of sheep might be kept in a flock,and watchmen might be entirely dispensed with. " The advantages which Britain derives from this colony are already considerable, and will increase with the increasing prosperity of the colony. They consist principally in the supply of wool received from New South Wales in the market which that colony furnishes for her manufactures, and in the field for emigration which it offers to her capitalists, middling classes and I abourers. _ _ _______ " Already the Australian Colonies, of which New SJutii Wales is the principal, supply Great Britain with about 10,000,000 ins. of wool annually, a greater quantity than is imported f:om any other country in the world, except Germany. A cantinuance of a few years in the present course of prosperity will raise the quan tity produced and exported of this important article of commerce to such an extent, that it will exceed the whole supplied by foreign countries, including Germany.

His Lord ship said he would give judgment on Wednesday next. THE QUERN P. HURLOCK. Mr. COOPER said he had to apply to his Lordship to appoint a day for hearing a motion for an injunction in this c 'se. which would not be opposed ; but thc circum stances wen , of a very novel character. The d,fendant, the Rev. Dr. Hurlock, was presented by his late Mae,ty, George the Fourth, with a living in Essex, the right of presentation to which exist ql in his Majes'y as Duke of Lancaster. It had been discovered that Dr. Hurlock ha'l been cutting down a quantity of timber on the glebe lands, and therefore the application he wished to make wa,o for an injunction, on behalf of her present Majesty, to p•e•ccnt further waste. It was right, however, that he sshould in form his Lordship that Dr. Hurlock felt sensible that he hal acted in error, and he ( Dr. Hurlock) did not ohj•ct to the injunction issuing in suet, terms a; the Court might direct ; and he further stated his perfect willingness to nay into Court all the proceeds which he had received from the sale of the timber. The Learned Counsel saii, as the case was one of such a novd character, althougl, the motion was not opposed, he had, by the advice of the Viet. ChancAlor, considered it necessary to menti,n it to his Lordship, who had ilia dtTosol of so much Church pa. tronage, as it might form a precedent if any similar case should arise in future. The LORD CHANCELLOR—It is certainly true that the Keeper of the Great Seal has the di:postal of much Church Patronage, but that ii th^ very reaiou why I shall not bear the motion. Mr. COOPER—We have agreed, my Lord, upon the terms of the order which we shall ask the Court to make. The Loan CHANCELLOR—The motion had better be made in the regular course bef)re the Vice-Chancellor. Mr. COOPER_ When the case was mentioned to the Vice-Chancellor his Honour thought it would be better to make the application to your Lordship; but in whatever Court it is made, I am instructe I to say that Dr. Hurlock will submit to any order and obey any directions which may be made. The only difficulty in the ca. , e i 4 to know in what manner the proceeds arising from the timber vt hick has been sold should he applied.

In this suit a bill had been filed by the plaintiffs, praying for an injunction to restrain defendant from taking 'ego; pro ceedings to recover money due upon several Bills of Exchequer and other securities, on the ground that the same sere &alai lent, and praying that they might be delivered up to the plaintiffs. Mr. Knight Bruce and Mr. Heathfield for the plaintiffs, and Mr. Jacob and Mr. Little for the defendant. It appeared from defendant's answer to the bill, that previous to the year 1839 plaintiffs had carried on business as solicitors and attorneys, in Freeman's Court, under the firm of Lock, Smith and Alliston, but in the early part of that year the firm was dissolved, and plaintiffs subsequently carried on busi ness under the firm of Smith and Alliston. In the early part of the year 1835 the defendant, who had for many years pre viously carried on business in Leicester, came to reside in London, and was applied to in July, 1835, by Lock. with whom had a family connection, to discount bills for clients of the firm, who he stated were of the highest re spectability, to which defendant replied that he should have no objection, provided Mr. Lock would give his name as secu rity, but that he would not advance money on the security of the parties alone. To this Lock assented, and loans which were to be temporary were negotiated by Lock at 10 per cent. for 5001., an 4 1,000/. for a Mr. Burton.. and Captain Harris, for which bills were given and endorsed by Lock to the defendant. On the 15th of July, in the same ye sr, Lock applied to defendant for another loan of 1,5001., and two days af!erivards for another of 500/ , for which checks were given in Lock's name, at his request, as he said he managed the cash transactions of the firm, and for which defendant drew a bill, which was accepted by Lock in the name of the firm. Subsequently, on the 29th of July, Lock obtained a further loan of 5001— for which, in like manner, a check was given, payable to Lock or hearer, and which Lack said he was borrowing for clients of the firm, who did not wish their names to appear. Upon the former bills becoming due Lock applied to defend ant for their renewal, wl.ich defendant consented to, on re ceiving as additional security the name of the firm, which Lock accordingly gave, and the other bills were aft Twards renewed in the same manner. Subsequently Lock ob tained from defendant a loan of 1,000/. for a person named Sparks, and several other loans, for which Lock gave bills or notes in the name of the firm. These were all frequently re newed, and Lock, at the desire of the defendant, deposited with him annuity deeds and other securities as additional secu rity. Defendant,happening to call at the office of the firm. on come business connected with their transactions, the plain tiffs stated that they were for the first time ac quainted with them, and repudiated the whole transactions as fraudulent, and on these grounds subsequently applied to defendant to deliver up or cancel the securities given in the name of the firm, which was refused. Some of these bills I:ad been paid, but the rest were dishonoured. Lock hail since bccome a bankrupt, and legal proceedings had been com menced against the plaintiffs upon the securities given in the r.ame of the firm. On the part of the plaintiffs it was contended that there were sufficient grounds of suspicion in these transactions, that Look was acting without the knowledge of his partners, and that he was in collusion with defendant. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, APRIL 24. THE QUEEN V. THE BRISTOL DOCK COMPANY. This was an appeal from a rate made by the Church wardens and Overseers of the parish of Clifton, near Bris tol, for the relief of tho poor.. The 'rate was made on the e'th of November, 1838, and the defendants were rated for the Cumberland basin, with its wharfs, quays, gates, &e., at a gross estimated rental of 1,3501., producing a rateable value of 1,0801. , which at ls. in the IL amounted to 5-11. The appeal came on for h'aring on the 9th of April, 1!•_ 4 39, when the appellants having coiled evidence and closed their case, and the respondents having been heard, at the sug gestion of the Court it was agreed that the appellants should he taken to have a rateable property within the respondent's parish, productive in the year, and lor that rate only, of the sum of 3001., and that the rate should be reduced to that sum, subject to the opinion of the Court of Queen's Bench. Sir PREDERIVK POLLOCK now appeared on behalf of the respondents, to support the original rate. The Bristol Dock was a private -peculation, in which large sums of money had been expended for the benefit of individual shareholders, who were entitled to 8 per cent. upon their money. They possessed property to the extent of two furlongs and nineteen yards in the parish of Clifton, and for that they had been originally rated largely and extensively, hut that rating had been re duced ; and the q uestinn for the Court was, whether it was to be reduced considerably lower. The profits of the Docks were one thousind pounds per annum, but the amount which he (Sir F. Pollock) was seeking to maintain, as re garded the parish of Clifton, was calculated on a profit of only 3001. per annum. The argument of the appellants was, that the dock was only to be rated as so much way land, on the same principle a, a railroad or canal, passing through land similar to Chatmoss, between Liverpool and Manchester, which was of no intrinsic value in itself ; but he (Sir Frederick Piil lock) contended that it was to be estimated at its value as an important station or depot, where goods and passengers were shipped and landed, and that it twist bra rated with reference to the beneficial value of the occupation to the Company, and as being productive of great profit to the defendants, whether these profits were received for rates and dues paid in respect of Cumberland basin situ ated within the parish, or in respect of profits derived from other portions of the docks without the parish. The Learned Counsel cited several cases in support of his argument. Mr. ERLE appeared on behalf of the appellants. The argu ments of the Learned Counsel were not concluded when the Court rose. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, APRIL 24 THE BRIGHTON RAILWAY COMPANY V. FAIRCLOUGH. The argument, which was presumed to have been concluded at the last hearing of this ease on Tuesday last, was this dvy resumed by Mr. KELM', who read affidavits en the part of the plaintiffs, in answer to the affidavits upon which the defendants' rule nisi for a nonsuit or new trial had been obtained. The verdict, it will be remembered, was taken for the plaintiffs, subject to the motion, on the ground that the defendant was not liable to pay up the calls upon forty-five shares, (amount ing to D. 95.), inasmuch as the memorial of transfer was irregular, and further, was not produced at the trial. Alt% Kelly's affidavit now went to show that the book was in Court at the time of the trial, and that the statement of former affidavits to the contrary was occasioned by a mistake of the short-hand writer, who substituted not for now in his transcript of his (Mr. K's.) speech. This error seemed to be the principal ground on which the rule was graired. But he hoped their Lordships would not see occasion to send the cause down to be tried again, when the fact was that defendant's Counsel and the Court were informed that all the books required under the Act were in Court. Jr. Sergeant BOMPAS, in reply, produced an affi,lavit of the tort-lend writer, deposing. that the words used by plain. tiff's Counsel Ott the trial were that the book was not in Court.

He was now furnished with an affidavit from one of the Commissioners, from which it appeared that the witness, acting under the advice of his ~dvocate, refused to attend and give evidence before the Commissioners. They applied to the Foreign Minister of the Duke of Tuscany for assistance, but he refused to interfere, because it was against the laws of Tus cany to examine a Tuscan subject in any judicial matter otherwise than by Tuscan authorities ; but he offered, on being properly authorised, he would cause that to be done.

Dabbs was an officer of the Customs, who had seized some coffees bel)nging to Kingston, who brought his action of trover in the Common Pleas. In this Court an information had been filed against Kingston, an d the Attorney-General now moved that the rule to remove the proceedings into this Court be made absolute. Mr. V.

Lord DENMAN—We think as the prisoners do not appear by Counsel to support the objections raised on the trial, that it is unnecessary to argue them.

Mr. Curtis, a respectable hay salesman in Smithfiele marker, appeared on a summons to answer the complaint f Mr. Simmons, a corn-dealer in Cow-cross-street, for having sold him a load of hay deficient in weight. Mr. Simmons stated that he purchased a load of bay of Mr. Curtis, in the open market of Smithfield, the price of a hich was 54 A load of hay consists of thirty-six trusses, six of which only were correct, twenty-seven were short of weight, and three over weight ; the total deficiency was 581). Mr. Shanks, the deputy-clerk of the market and toll collector, stated that he saw every truss weighed, and the statement given of the result by Mr. Simmons was correct. Mr. Simmons said that the existing evil ought to be re medit.d, as he had lost several customers in consequence of selling them trusses short of weight. He said that he had no ill-feeling towards Mr. Curtis, because he knew that li was not aware of the fact of short weight, bui there was one clause of the Act which rendered the con s,gner'A " hinder " liable to a penalty for sending trusses to market deficient of weight. Alderman KELLY fined Mr. Curtis in the mitigated sum of 10s and cot=. BOW-STREET. Jeremiah Sulivan was brought up, charged with Laving stolen a sovereign, the property of Mr. Wilcox, of Covent garden market. The complainant stated that he dropped two sovereigns in his shop, and the prisoner, who is a porter in the market, picked one up, and attempted to make off with it. The com plainant did not see the prisoner pick up the sovereign, but from information he received from a boy. who watched the prisoner, he gave him into custody, and on his being searched the sovereign was found upon him. The prisoner wasremanded, to obtain the evidence of the boy William Stacey, the driver of one of the carts belong ing to the Metropolitan Parcels Delivery Company, ap peared, in discharge of his bail, to answer a charge of having driven his cart over a man named William Re's. a boatswain's mate in the service of the Royal Marine Society, Bullock, one of the Marine Society's boys, stated that on Wednesday last he and the other boys were returning in procession from the Admiralty to the Society's house in Bishopsgate-street, and, as they were crossing the road opposite the Admiralty, the defendant, who was driving one of the above Company's carts, attempted to break through the line. Rees laid hold of the horse's head to prevent him from doing so, having previously desired him to stop until the boys had crossed the road. The defend ant declared he would not stop, and tried to drive on, and finding that Rees refused to let go the horse's head, ht. struck bias severs! times with his whip. Rees thereupon. at the suggestion of several of the by-standers, mounted the steps of the cart, in order to take the number of it, when the defendant pushed him off, and he fell in tht road and the wheels passing over him, caused a compound fracture of one of his legs. He was taken to Charing cross Hospital, where be at present remains. The defendant proposed calling witnesses, in addition to those whose evidence on his behalf was taken at the last examination, but Mr. Jardine said that the testimony already adduced bad been of such a conflicting nature, that he would not take upon himself to decide upon it, but would leave it to be disposed of by a jury. He then ordered the defendant to find bail, himself in 801., ant' two sureties in 20/. each, for his appearance at the sessions to answer any charge that may be preferred against him. —Tho defendant did this, and was then discharged. HATTON-GARDEN. Mr. Samuel Cummins, a barrister in the Middle-tem ple, was brought before Mr. Combe under the following circumstances:— George Harding, Esq., of 15 Montagu-street, Rus sell-square, stated that he had married the sister of the defendant, and her mother was at present living in his house. On going home to dinner on Friday witness was informed by his wife that the prisoner was in the parlour, and that he had been c.mducting himself in a very violent manner. Her extreme agitation satisfying him that more had occurred than she had then time or was willing to ex plain, he hastily entered the parlour, and desired the ac• cused to quit the place. He refused to comply until he had seen his mctber, and s,itness, not having the slightest objection to such an interview, bade him remain where he was until he had conveyed her to his wishes. The de fendant being quite agreeable to that course, he (com plainant) went to his mother, and she positively refused to have anything m ,re to say t t the prisener. He made thi, known to the accused, and said that it was the wish of mother and sister that he should leave the premises; he should insist upon his departure, threatening, in case of refusal, to call in a constable. Remonstrances being use less, witness was under Vie painful necessity of requiring the attendance of a policeman (.f the E division, in whose presence the defendant committed an assault which might have been attended with fatal consequences. Mr. COMB E—Did you use any force to him? Com plainant. —When I had obtained the presence of a police man, I said to the prisoner that force would be resorted to in case he would not act according to my wishes. Again and again I urged him to go quietly away, without laying my hand upon him, but I could not prevail on him. At length, I took hold of his arm, and raised him gently from the sofa, on which he was reclining, when he broke from me, and seizing a poker aimed a blow at my head. At the instant, I raised my arm a and shied, and the poker fortunately slid from the arm on my back. Mr. CONIBE —What dii he say when you threatened to remove him by force? Complainant—lle said that I. being the most powerful man, might be able to do so, as he had no weapons or fire-arms then about him. He, however, would call another time with some such instru. ment, and defy me to touch him. Mr. COMBE —Does be lodge in your house ? Com plainant—lle does not. Defendant—But I had a right to go there. Mr. COMB E —Only as a visitor. This gentleman (point ing to the complainant) is the master of his own house, and, therefore, could order you out it he did not approve of your being there. What have you to say to the charge of assaulting him? Defendant—He committed the first outrage by seizing me by the arm. Mr. COMBS --But as a barrister you must know that he was justified in using force to eject you from his dwelling. He considered you an intruder. Still nothing would jus tify you in defending yourself will a poker, unless it were for the protection of your lift. Whether there be any cause for your irritation with Mr. Harding, I know not, neither is it my province to inquire. A gross breach of the peace has been committed, and by mere chance it is it did not terminate in a crime for which your life might pay the forfeiture. I shall order you to find bail, yourself in 200/., and two sureties in 1001., to keep the peace, and answer the charge at the ensuing Sessions. The course which your brother-in-law will take on your trial will de pend upon your conduct between now and then, aid the contrition you evince, which I hope upon reflection you will consider is abundantly due to him. Defendant—l .gym sorry I have broken the law. Ido not, neither shall 1, regret anythiog else. Mr. COMBE—The charge is a most scrims one, and if you persist in thi; course a heavy punishment, I fear awaits you. You arc now committed. The defendant, who was very fashionably attired, was then locked up. THAMES.OFPIOE. On Saturday, the Office was crowded fo excess by people connccted.with Greenwich and the various steam-boatcom panics ti hear the proceedings instituted by the Corpora • tion of London rgainst the Waterman's Pier, lately formed i t s front of Garden Stairs, Gi eanwich, for the aecommoda team-boat passengers. The greatest let rest was tinn a.° cv i te a. There were several informations laid by the ci t y g ) I ;gitors against the parties owning and having the care of the vessels forming the floating pier. The first itiformatioe read was tt gainst Edward Gillett, a Green wich wa Orman, having ()harp of vessel called the Kind Friend, and Edward Lovegrove and Samuel Lovegrove, o f the London Coff o house and Brunswick Hotel, for having on the 13th and 14th of April, neglected to re move th e yowl after notice bad been given them to do so by Charles R ,wand, the Harbour -master, by which they for every hour the vessel re. had incurred penalty 611 ' 5l ! rnained after re( oiving Welt tlf4 ; oe. Mr. Charles Pearaon, the City Solicitor, appered for the prosecution; and Mr. Newhen, a solicitor, and Mr. C. Phillips, the baiai , ter far the defence. Mr. Pealips atated that to save time, it would be as well for him to sta*.e, Oat the Messrs. Lovegroves had totally abandoned the concern, sad ho now no iltereit in the pftr. Loy,:grove said he had taken measures to dispose of t'se barge when be found he was subject to pearilties. The City Solicitor said be should require strict prof of fact before he abandoned the information, After a long discussion as to whether the Messrs ; Love, grove bat abandoned their interest in the pier before or after the notice served upon them by the Harbour Master, Mr. BALLANTINF, the presiding Magistrate, said it would he r sther too much to call upon the defendants to prove a negative. The case was then proceet!ed with, and the defendants pleaded not guilty. The City S,licitor then called upon Captain Rowland, the harbour master, who was stopt.el in his evidence by Mr. BALLANTINE reading over the information, and gornment• ing on its informality. The information and summonses were directed jointly against the three defendants, but the conviction was sought to be obtained against Gillett, who was said to have incurred a pena'ty of 5/. for every hour, &e. ; and the information went on to state that the penalty " was to be recovered of the owner of the said vess, I aca cording to the form of the statute," &c. He thought t h e information bat, and that any Vie of tiae parties Daglit to be selected. The City Solicits said, if he iiht.ined the conviction against the master, he shOuld- proceed for the recovery of the penalty. Mr. C. Phillips took up the obkc!ion of the :‘l,l,..2ls 'rote, and said the prosecutors had no rlgiit FA4,posc, Gillett would no t pay :f col.vietel. If he did cot pa) there must he a subsequent procei_diag a:7,ainst the owncts. The City Solie for said the same form of informative , had always 17K-en adopted at that office and umviction , .; ob taihed, which was proved by the production of an informs. lion worried in a similar manner. The opinion of eminent counsel had been taken, who were of opinion the form was correct. But if the Mag'.strate thought otherwim he must prefer fresh informations against the parties far offences committed on other days. Mr. BALLANTINE said the information should say the penalty was to be recovered of the party against whom it 'vas fiLd, and then a distinct information could be pre ferred against the owners, averring that the penalty was not paid. Perhaps the other side would waive the objecti-n he had taken and appeal against the convici , m, if one toc,k place. Mr. C. Phillips said he was the advocate of a nnmber of poor watermen, who received a Nal benefit from the r, and they could not afford the expenses of appealing. fie should prefer the decision of the Magistrate.

THE NEW HISTORICAL ROMANCE, "JOAN of ARC."—Mr. Series long prorriefi pnrtreiture of the Maid of Orients is at length before the world. It has numerous beauties. A romance on the achievements of her, whose metear'c career w.ss one thr'lling chain of ro. mance must; indeed, prove a production of no ordinary ex citement. In novels of this kind, history has been fre. quently rendered but too subservient to romance. Iry th,, 11 • ent instance Mr. Serle bas inverted their relative posi tions by rendering rornrim e the t-ain-bearer to his ory. Every spot of celebrity—every anecdote of 4u:henticity— every trait of the heroitie'e character has been eirefully visited, properly sif!ed, and duly considered : in short. we aro here presented with neither bust nor profile, hut J..an, the far-famed Maid of Orleans, at lull longth.—Conserva live Journal.
