threatened the peace of Europe from the blow given to Turkish independence. The events of 1829, whicn laid the Sultan prostrate at the feet of Russia, gave the finishing stroke to the existence of Persia as an independent Power, already much shaken by our re fusal, on former occasions, to extend our aid to defend her ag :just the encroachments of her ambitious neigh bour. From that moment Persia became the in strument of Russian ambition—British influence de clined at the Court of Teheran, and a Persian army, instigated by Russian agents, was finally launched, as an advanced guard, against the city of Herat. The loss of our influence in Persia, as Sir Alexander Burnes had predicted, led to the loss of our influence among the Princes of Affghanistan. Dost Mahamed, the most able and powerful of these, swayed as much by the mori.l effect of our abandonment of Persia as by his own domestic quarrels and enmity to Runjeet Singh, our ally, after many warnings, threw himself into the arms of Persia, and but for the advance of a British force, would have placed the keys of India in hostile hands. That region has always been the arena from which have issued the conquerors of Hindostan. Timour, Nadir Shah, Grheughis Khan, and the Malmmetan dynasty of Geiz, h, all sprung from that quarter ; and sa strong a superstition has in conscquenee been begotten, that there is a well-known Indian proverb which says, that " to be Kiug of India, you must be master of Cabool and ! Cendehar." Threatened as we were in all quarters, it be- ceine of vital importance that we should secure our north western frontier. The (Linger and hazard of the enter prise need not becencealed nor would Lord Auckland, we may he assured, have ventured upon such an ex treme step without proof both c t its nec essity and of the probability of accomplishing his object. Had the Tories been in power, ne Aff4han ~xpedition would have be en undertaker--things would have been left to their course—Russian intrigue would have been per. ' witted to organise a league of Persians and Affghans, sv:iich, directed first against our unsteady allies, the S•khs, would have next ended in adding their power to a coalition, of which Russia would have taken 6e first opportunity to declare hersaf the head and pro tector. Such was the danger we had to guard against —a greater never menaced India ; and how it has been met i 3 now known to all the world. The coalition has been destroyed—our open foes have been vanquished in the field—our secret ones have been forced to disown their intrigues—the English fl ig flaats in triumph by sea and by land, and with no other echo to mar the joy of vie tot y but the croakings of a disappointed, envious, and unpatriotic faction. (From the Times.) The daily recurrence of the:Ministerial Journals to th e Walsall election, proves how grievous is the pro spect to them of the loss of another vote. Should that seat and another (Canterbury) be carried by the Con servatives, " justice must be done to Ireland,"—Lord Stanley's Bill must pass. Bat thee away goes the po.ver of the mendicant dictator, and away goes that Alinotry which rests upon his support ! The most diverting part of the business, however, is, the per pleeity the " Liberal" Journals are in as to how the game is to be played. First, Mr. Lytta Iton was to be backed, might and main, as the true and genuine " Mi nisterial candidate." Then the Corn-law agitators from - Manchester drove him out of the field, and set up their own president in his room ; for which they re ceived the heartiest execrations of the Chronicle and Globe. In another day or two, however, perceiving that it was " Hobson's choice"—Smith or none—they sud denly turned round, and declared that the nominee of the " League" must be supported to the utmost! It is very natural that such conduct as this should either excite contempt or lead to onen avowa's of political ascality. Just as the roue of the clubs, when he some times recreates himself with a little pot-house society, can with case cast off the gentleman and assume the tone and slang of the pugilist or the pickpocket, so this little disclosure of that depravation of morals, which is for the most part kept concealed, warms the hearts of kindred spirits, and leads to an instant reci procation of sentiment on the part of the political blacklegs who may happen to be within hearing. We were amused by a little escapade of this sort in the Ministerial print of Friday morning. A correspondent, who signs himself " A Member of the League," writes to the editor in the following s'rain : " Sir—You complain of the conduct of the Anti-Corn law League at Walsall, and ask, ' How it will serve the one question, the repeal of the Corn laws ?' I'll tell you bow—by makieg other Liberals yield on this ques tion, to preserve their seats. You must remember that it is from want of support from professed Liberals that the question is not carried. It is the Liberals in the House of Commons that prevent it ; and the Liberal party may make up their minds to this—either to grant the repeal .of the Corn-laws, or go out. Sir, you are quite right when you say, that if the League pursue this course as vacancies may occur, or at a dissolution of the present Parliament, it requires not the spirit of divination to pre dict that the Liberal interest will he overthrown.' You are quite right ; there is, there can he, no mistake' about it ; for the League is too powerful for any interest or party to oppose successfully. Seeing this, what should be the conduct of the great Liberal party ? Why. most decidedly to take up the question and settle it. There at - e but two among the Miniz.tars who are ate not repeaters to a greater or less degree. let the tan yield, and propose a settlement of the matter. We will do our best to obtain total and immediate repeal ; and, failing in that, will take the next best thing we can get. Oh,' say you, ' they could never carry it; they would be forced to go out.' Well, what then ? Do you tbirik the matter would end there ? Surely nat ; the people would rally round them, and insist on their return. But if your policy is merely to keep them in, as at present, doing nothing, then I must beg leave to differ from you. ,I ant tired, and so are many other Liberals, of doing LO thing ; end I ask you what single measure,, f all desired l a y iteformars, do they propose —nay, do not resist ? The Corn-laws, Ballot, Suffrage Extension, are alike op posed by them ; they may be open questions,' but as a Ministry they will not take them up. 'l' he duty of Liberals is to join with us for repeal; and if they refuse, we shall, at all hdzirds, do the best we can for ourselves. If the Whigs are thus forced to go out, then in opposition they will perhaps be induced to unite with us iu order to get back again ; and if so, thee would be sure ao get back. At p resent t h ey arc i n by- ufferance, and they must come forward and do something, or take the consequences." Fur a frank confession of a total absence of the least atom of respect for the present. Ministers, com mend us to this letter, inserted, without the least ex ception, in a leading Ministerial Journal! First, our present extraordinary and inestimable governors are calmly described as proposing no single measure de :sired by " Reformers"—ney, as resisting every such proposition. The writer naturally enough adds, " I am tired of keeping them in to do and so are many others." His remety, therefore, is not reason, not persuasion, but simple coercion. " The party may make up their minds tither to do what we (the League) want, or logo out." Well, but there arc many " Liberals" both in the Cabinet and in Parliament, who do not. see abings ex -.ctly in the same light that your gentlemen of the Leaeue see them. " It is }ruin want of noapport front the Liberals," says this correspondent, " that the question is not carried" What. then, is to be clone? Oh! they must give way—" Yield," says this modest personage, "to preserve their seats." Of course is seat in Parliament is to be preferred to voting according to one's conscience, any- day. But there is another dflicaLy to be thought ot. Suppose you should force many '• Liberal" Members to pocket their con scienc s on this question, in order to preserve their seats," the end of the whole may be, that some of the Whigs onay still prove stubborn, and the " coach" itself be ." upset" in tr) ing your experiment. But our worthy has a .resource still left. "If the Whigs are thus forced to go out, he says, " then,in opposition, they will perhaps be in duced to unite with us, ia order to get back again." Bravo ! well said, most worthy leaguer ; nobly ima gined, kinked ! A most lofty and honourable eoneep-' iton host thou formed of these Whigs, whom thou so sagaciously proposest to mould to thine own purposes. We smile, we grow gay, at such a representation of E n glish noblemen and British statesmen. But a sud den recollection crosses the mind :—" Lichfield House' the tirin compact"—the"has'', brutal, and bloody Wine's," ou the one side ; and he wbo had so termed Oen) on the other! We pause 3 : let us quit the sub • 4 It may be that this insett i ng, this coarse-minded e, triAcker in principles and in consciences has tato.n but too rrue au estimate of the worth and honour that be long to a Melbourne Administration. (From the Globe.) The President's Message is of course mainly occu pied with the detailed apology of the monetary system of his own and the preceding Administration. It may be ter me d a we ll -reasone d document as regards the PAtiell part of the question. But that is the smallest p art o f the question ; just as the Federal 'Gpveroment is likewise the smallest part of the gdvernmoht existing in the United States. That a Rational bank and a national debt are not required for the use of the Federal Government may be very true, and may he a subject of fitting congratulation by the - head of that Government. But it is also true that the several States have provid e d t h emselves pretty de c.mtly with those appendave, of old governments, known hy the name of Public Debts. The Pre. .sident talks of " the known necessity which so many th e 'tit4.tes will be under to impose taxes for the s,'ityla(.nt of the interest of their debts." It is more certain, that, whether the Federal Government wants a national bank or not, the commercial interest want• banking and currency placed on a solid basis. Toe PresidG nt may be right in "viewing the i:ggre rate posers of the General Government as a v o l untary eone,:ssion of the States," and i n thinking, theref ore , *4 that ruclu only should be exercised as were, at the time, intended to be given." But in that case, it follows that the General Government must be a =stranger to the most material interests of the actual i community, It may be very right that it should be so ; we do not mean to dispute the doctrine of President Van Buren, as regards the loose federation of the States. But it follows that the elaborate statement • of the doings and duties of the Federal Government, which is annually put forward, includes, in reality, very little in the shape of a comprehensive estimate of internal interests and adnainistratior. President Van Buren • iliselaims all share in internal improvements, all regu lation of the public currency, all promotion of public works. The very roads which approach the capital may boast their freedom from central authority, and citizens may be jolted and upset in the most cons!itutionai man ner—and in more remote localities Judge Lynch may perform his circuits—without the Federal Government calling any new powers into action, to meet the new sets of circumstances or exigencies, throughout the community. The Presidents who have stood upon most purely de mocratical principles, have assumed the character ra ther of Rois faineants than anything else, and have congratulated their countrymen on letting their rulers meddle with their affairs so little. In the meantime affairs will arise which require some central superinten dence ; and the democratic Executive prides itself on being entitled to afford—none. (From the Courier.) The annual message of the President of the United States on the assemblage of Congress is, under any circumstances, a document of mush importance, but on the present occasion it derives additional interest from the fact that it may be regarded as the valedictory ad ' dress of Mr. Van Buren, the term of whose presidency is now so nearly approaching, and the renewal of the four years' lease of which has so recently been decided against him. Accordingly, the message is more than ordinarily general in its purport ; and whilst less space and ►ess attention are bestowed upon the enumeration and consideration of the current concerns of the republic, with such occurrences of public import, external and in ternal, as may have supervened since the close of the last session of the Legislature, more than common earnestness is displayed in the assertion at unwonted length of the ' leading principles upon which the administration of the retiring functionary has been conducted, and the con tinued and permanent action of which are held to be as indispensable to the progress and prosperity of the Union, as they are maintained to be strictly in accord ance with the forms and spirit of the Constitution as tirawn up and understood by its founders. It may be looked upon therefore not only as the review and vindi cation of Van Buren policy during his four }ears' tenure of office, but as the manifesto of principles to which one of the two great parties into which the Federation is divided professes adhesion and adopts as its rallying ensign. It is not our purpose to follow the message in the discussion of the two great " contested points in our public policy," which are signalised as more peculiarly the line of separation between the fede ralist party now in the ascendant, and the democratic, ! in whose hands the destinies of the United States have reposed for an unbroken period of the lust twelve years, inw much as questions of a " national debt and a na tional bank" are more purely of domestic concernment, and therefore attractive in other countries chiefly to the curious in fiscal and economical speculations. But there are principles of government, not now for the first time avowed and acted upon, of which the statesmen elsewhere may be usefully reminded, and the lesson of which can no where be more serviceably repeated than in Downing -street. From the Standard. ! in reply to the demand upon us for some authorita tive statement as to the pardon (the virtual pardon we again say) and the promotion of Frost, we copy the fo:lowing, front the Sydney Monitor of August IS :- 1 6' ENCOURAGEMENT TO CEIARTIEM.-The good people of Newport will be gratified to learn that their old friend Frost, the celebrated Lord John Russell's Chartist Magis trate, conducted himself, during the voyage to Hobart Town in the Mandarin, to the satisfaction of the Surgeon-Super intendent. He was appointed, immediately on his arrival at ILbart Town, a Clerk under the Commissariat Officer of Port Arthur ; and we have no doubt that he will soon receive some still better situation under the liberal government of Sir John Franklyn. We would recommend Sir George Gipps to forward by the Pilgrim a dispatch to the Colo nial-office upon the subject of an opening here for the unemployed, discontented, starving Chartists of Great Britain It would certainly be more humane to forward them here as immigrants, through the aid of a pal:na -1 mentary grant, than to drive them to this country through the instrumentality of state prosecutions. We wish it to be understood that we are willing to receive them." This, then, is our answer to the charges of " fabrication," " folly," falsehood," and the rest, poured out upon us by the Globe, and repeated with all candour by the Conservative (!) Morning Post. This is our replication to the positive and absolute denial of ail and each of our statements given by authority in the Globe. It is thus we meet such slanderers and enemies of truth, and we scorn to meet them in any other way. The present is not the fiftieth ()evasion in which we have had to thrust their false hood down the throats of the same parties ; nor will it, as we well know, be the last. We wish no more severe revenge than to compel them to wriggle out of their dirty and embarrassing position in just that manner in which the Globe of last night and its servile echo, the Morning Post, of this morning, have been compelled to extricate them selves. The gist of their exculpation is no longer that the Standard fabricated the story, or swallowed it upon hearsay, but that the Sydney Monitor is a journal sold for three-pence! The truth is, that the Globe was seven weeks in arrear as to Anl44alasian news, as it is generally in arrear as to alr intelli gence ; and professional jealousy combined with party malice prompted its abuse of the more vigilant and active Standard. The Morning Post of course followed its patron journal. We have allowed our Liverpool Correspondent to give utterance to the indignation which a gentleman must feel when his honour and veracity have been so rudely impeached, as his have been ; but we own that we grant th© indul gence with reluctance ; we have for ourselves no seri ous quarrel with such adversaries as the Globe and Morning Post.

The `MASTER of the ROLLS on coming into Court this morning, stated that a letter had been written and sent to him by a party in a cause now standing for judg !tient. His Lordship handed the letter to Mr. Tierney, who had been one of the opposing Counsel to the letter-writer, with permission, if he thought proper, after reading it, to send it to his clients; and added, that the writer was evidently aware that in writing to a Judge he was guilty of a very gross contempt of Court, for it was anonymous, and manifestly written in a feigned hand. Such conduct was highly improper; were the party before him he should have very little hesitation in committing him to the Fleet.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, JAN. 12. (Sittings in Banco.) ROTHSCHILD V. CURRIE. _ _ Lord DRN MAN gave judgment in this case, which was an action upon a bill of exchange, drawn in England in fa vour of a mercantile house in Paris, and payable there. The bill was endorsed by the defendant to the plaintiff, who remitted it to Paris for payment there. It was a bill at three motif hs' date, which expired on the 30th of April,and there being no days of grace at Paris, and the 30th failing on a Sunday, the bill became due on the 29th, on which day it was presented and dishonoured. By the French law the bill was to be protested on the day it was dishonoured, ' and by the 176th section of the " Code de Commerce," the notary was bound to make an exact copy of the protest. and to have it registered the following day. The Ist of .111 v, the first day on which the registration could be made, was thefele du Rid, and the office was closed, is conse quence of that and the pressure en the following day the notary was unable to complete the protest and re gistration till after the post hour on the 2d. The notice was sent by post on the 3d to England, and reached it on the sth, the same day on which it would have reached the defendant if he had been entitled to three days' grace. The question was whether the notice of dishonour was in time under these circumstances. In the first place, it was left to the Court to decide whether, on the assumption that the French law should prevail, due diligence had been used, and upon that point the opinion of the Court was in favour of the plaintiff, the delay being attributable to circumstances over which the notary had no control. It was assumed in the course of the argument that the registration should have been made before novice of dishonour could be regularly given, but there did not appear to the Court any necessary con nection between the registration and notice. The second ' point was, whether the notitleation of the dishonour was a part and parcel of the contract, or merely an incidental matter. The bill being made payable in France, although drawn in England, must be taken to be a foreign bill, and viewing it in that light, the Court was of opinion that ac cording to the French law the notification of dishonour was a part of the contract, and that was according to the opinion Li a learned French writer, who says that " the law of the place where the bill is made payable must be followed, and the contract must be regulated by the law and usages of the place to which the contracting parties must be cone sidered to have submitted themselves." Upon principle, therefore, and that authority, the Court was of opinion that the French law regulated the time of giving notice of the dishonour, nour, th e a i n u d d: m s , n -i ot t i o ce f t ‘ l v i a e s iv C g ou e r i t ' minusdtulen.!tti'our'etloief THE QUEEN V. BOULTER. 'rho COURT gave judgment in this case, whichwas sued a re turn by two Magistrates to a writ of certiorari out of that Court, to bring up certain proceedings wider the 59th Ceo. 3, chap. 12, sect. 24. It appear ed that t he defend ant h a d b een permitted to occupy a parish-house belonging to the hamlet—that be had neglected to deliver the same to the churchwardens after a month's notice had determined under n tz bean given. Th e d e f en d a nt was then served with a sum mons, and app eare d b e f ore t h e M ag i s trates who heard and case.t he circumstances, l'he questi for the Court was , whether the Magistrates had jurisdicti on , and after going through the leading po i nts of the case, t h e Court was of opinion that the Magis charged, and as b e i ng Magis trates had juri s di ct i on, and therefore the rule must be dis against a Magistrate with costs. c e a a s i e l i nagr uponul eha t d h e been s o e b e t u a t i n o r e s d t b o e s fo h r o e w M e r a . u J s e u s v,, t , i h e y e THE QUEEN V . FALL AND OTHERS. a P n art o re i r d st e ho r nis' of Lord Abinger, for entering up the p ost ea , should not be rescinded. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, with whom was Sir W. I FOLLETT, now appeared to show cause agai ns t th e rule The matter originated in the election for over seers and churchwardens for the parish of Lambeth, in Easter, 1839. On that occasion Dr. Doyley, the Rector, presided, and he conducted it according t o th e usua l an d legal manner. A poll being demanded, h e d irecte d t h at it should be taken i n the porches of the church, but certain party decided that the poll should take place im mediately. The poll, however, took place as the Rector bad directed, but it was conducted very irregularly, and at the conclusion a scrutiny was de manded. Dr. Doyley granted the scrutiny, and required the churchwardens, overseers, and collectors to produce their books, so that it might be ascertained who were en titled to vote, and how many votes they had under Sturges Bourne's Act. They refused to do so, and an application was made to the Court of Queen's Bench for a mandamus to compel them to do so. The mandamus was not obeyed, but a return was made, stating that Dr. Doyley bad not properly conducted the election, and that they were not bound under the circumstances to produce the books. There was a traverse to that return, and it came on for trial before Lord Abinger at the Spring Assizes for Sur rey, and under his Lordship's direction there was a verdict for the Crown on all the issues. An application was made by the defendants for a new trial, but the rule was dis charged. The parties then proceeded to tax the costs of the prosecution, when Sir F. Pollock applied to reverse the Master's taxation, and among other objections, it was stated that no damages had been awarded by the Jury at the trial of the cause. A summons was taken out before Lord Abinger for the purpose of entering up the postea, and that Learned Judge acting, as he understood, in the discharge of his duty, in carrying into effect the verdict of the Jury, directed that the postea should be entered up for the plaintiff on all the issues, with nominal damages. The Learned Counsel proceeded at some length to contend that the Court could not interfere in the case, inasmuch as the order of the Learned Judge did nothing which was contrary to the intention of the Jury, and that the act «as no exercise of irresponsible power, but a matter of course. Sir F. Poneocx and Mr. Ileyes ws re heard in support of the rule. The arguments were directed principally to show that the order of Lord Abinger was an interference with the province of the Jury, which it was the duty of the Court to put a stop to. The Court deferred judgment. THR QUEEN D. THE CORPORATION OP LEEDS. Mr. ADD:SON moved in this case for a mandamus di rected to the Mayor and Aldermen of the Borough of Leeds, commanding them to receive the vote of Radford Potts; to admit him as a councillor of the borough, to which office he had been duly elected. It appeared from the statement of the Learned Counsel that the borough was divided into wards, and that Mr. Potts, with three others, were candidates for Millhill ward. Tho election took place on the 2d November, and the Alderman, before whom the election was held, declared Howard and Potts duly elected, but subsequently, in the evening, be made another declaration that Howard and Richardson (another of the candidates) had been duly elected. He had some doubt, whether, in a case like the present, he should move for a mandamus or a quo warranto, to be directed to Richardson, calling upon him to show by what authority he exercised the office of councillor. Lord DENMAN having intimated that the latter course would be the more judicious, a rule nisi for a quo warrant° was prayed for and granted. ASSIGNEES OP HORTON V. THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY COMPANY. The COURT gave judgment in this case, in which the question was, whether Horton, who was a contractor for making a tunnel at Bexhill, in Wilts, had committed an act of bankruptcy on a certain day, the evidence on that point being a letter written by Horton, in which ho stated, " lam new in London to avoid two writs." The Court was of opinion that the letter had been properly received in evidence, and their judgment must be for the plaintiffs. The rule, therefore, must be discharged, subject to an al. lowanco for such articles and materials as bad been pur chased by the defendants after the bankruptcy. IN THE MATTER OF " THE DON." The ATTORNEY• GRNERAL moved fora prohibition to the Admiralty Court in a case in which he thought the Judge had exceeded his jurisdiction. It was a case of collision between two vessels, the Tiber and the Don, and tho latter being in fault, was seize.' and sold, but the proceeds not being sufficient to pay the damage, the Judge ordered the costa to be awarded personally against the owners, which, it was contended, was an excess of juris diction. The COURT granted the rule. BUSINESS OF THE COURT. Lord DENMAN said the Court would take the special paper on Tuesday. and Fridays, and the Crown Paper on Wednesdays and Saturdays. On the other days they would go through the bar, calling for motions, and then take the new trial paper. BAIL COUR7, JA .Y. 12. (Before Mr. JUSTICE WILLIAMS.) TIIE QUEEN U. WALLACE AND ANOTHER. Mr. JEavts applied on behalf of Patrick Shaw Stewart Wallace and Michael Shaw Stewart Wallace for a rule to show cause why they should not be brought up by habeas corpus and discharged from the custody in which they were at present, or admitted to bail, or dealt with according to law in such manner as the Court might direct, and also for a certiorari to remove the proceedings into this Court. The parties making the application had been taken into custody, together with another person named Stott, on suspicion of having wilfully caused the loss of the ship Dryad for the purpose of defrauding various Insurance Companies. On the 29th November, Patrick Shaw Stewart Wallace and James Stott were taken to the Mansion-house, and on that occasion the only evidence offered was, that Stott had effected an insu rance upon certain goods stated to have been shipped on board the ship Dryad, for St. Jago de Cuba ; that the Dryad had been lost, and that Stott had received the in surance for the Wallaces as fora total loss, on giving security to repay any amount of salvage that might have appeared to have been made. On that occasion a witness had stated that he had reason to suspect that he should be able to bring forward evidence to show that no such goods as those on which the insurances had been effected had been shipped on board the Dryad ; and on this evidence, did not at all affect Wallace, the parties were remanded for a week. Bail had been offered for Wallace and re fused. The next time they were brought up, a witness named Kelly, who was on board the Dryad, said that he believed that the Captain had determined to lose the ship, because two days after they had put to sea, be had put two tackles into the long,-boat, and this was the whole of the evidence that had been produced to show that there had been any wilful losing of the ship; and the Magis trate refused to allow this witness to be asked if he had ever been in custody. They were then again remanded, and bail was again refused. They were remanded at various subsequent times until the 2d of January, when they were again brought up and Stott dis charged upon the application of the Counsel for the pro. secution. Application was made to the Magistrate to admit the Wallaces to bad, when Mr. Clarkson, the Counsel for the prosecution, said that he had evidence to produce if the Magistrate was not satisfied, but that it would take five or six days to go into. The Magistrate stated he was perfectly satisfied, and that he should re mand the Wallaces to the 29th of January. Thus had these persons been remanded over three sessions of the Central Criminal Court, z:nd now a fourth must elapse before they could be tried. They were kept in prison without any commitment, and, he spoke advisedly, with out any evidence to warrant a commitment—on a specu lative fishing for evidence—on the bare assertion of the counsel for the prosecution that it was probable he might procure evidence. The reason of the last remand was an amusing ene ; it was because a witness stated that he had heard of a boy at Liverpool who had heard of a relative of his who had been on board the Dryad at the time she was lost. The only evidence given to warrant a remand of two days, was the assertion of the counsel for the prosectiou that he had received information of a seaman belonging to the Dryad, being on board one of her Ma jesty's ships, and that application had been made to have him brought ho.iie. The object of these r:eliminary in vestigations before Magistrates, was to enable parties to have a general notion of the ease to be brought against them, in order to be prepared to meet it, but in this case the evidence which, it appeared, would take five or six days to go into, was purposely kept back, so that the parties would be committed to take their trial at the end of the month without having any idea of the case they should be called on to meet. Was it not altogether a speculation to seek to intimidate these parties to obtain money from them. A more curious jumble than the depositions in this case had never been seen—the assertions of Counsel, the statement of witnesses on different occasions, before different Magistrates, and the observations of the Magistrates were all jumbled together in the most extraordinary manner, while all the importants parts of the evidence were left in blank. He wished to draw his Lordship's particular at tention to these depositions, as he was convinced that without ocular demonstration no sober-minded person could believe that in this country the liberty of the subject could be put in jeopardy upon such trumpery pretexts. Mr. Justice WILLIAMS thought quite enough had been shown io entitle the applicants to a rule to show cause why they should not be brought up to have the validity of their commitment inquired into, and then the Court could deal with them according to law. Applicatio❑ granted. The COURT afterwards sat at Nisi Prins, and disposed of several undefended causes. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, JAN. 12. PRIVILEGE OF PARLIAMENT. -CASSIDY V. STUARP, M. P. In this case an outlawry had been issued from this Court against the defendant, a Member of Parliament (and late one of the Lords of the Treasury), who was at the time out of this country. A supersedeas was subse quently obtained, on the ground that the defendant not being liable to arrest, by privilege of Parliament, he could not be outlawed for not doing that from which his privi lege exempted him. Last term Mr. Sergeant Spankie obtained a rule to show cause why the supersedeas should not be set aside, and the outlawry confirmed. Mr. Sergeant BOMPAS now showed cause against the rule, and contended that inasmuch as a capias could not be en forced against a Member of Parliament, neither could an outlawry be issued for neglect of proceedings which had such a writ for their object. The plaintiff's proper course of praceediug was by distress. In the well known case of the Countess of Huntingdon, the attorney for the plaintiff againt that lady woe committed for having issued a capias against her ; knowing her to be a Peeress, and the capias was set aside. In the case of Lord Rokeby, who was an Irish Peer of Parliament, the attorney, who had issued a capias, pleaded in support of his proceeding that the de fendant had gone by the name of " Thomas Morriss, Esq commonly called Lord Rokeby," and bad pleaded in that name, and suffered himself to be arrested thereby ; yet the Court in that case held that the attorney had sufficient notice of the privilege to render it incumbent npon him to inquire before he proceeded. He was accordingly com m►tted, as happened in the case of Lady Huntingdon , and the Sheriff was ordered to return non est inventus to the writ. The meaning of that return was not literally that Rokeby could not be found, for he was well known to be resident in London at the time ; it was clearly that the defendant was not found within the jurisdiction of the Court for execution of the capi as a d satisfacien dum.' The Learned Sergeant cited at great length from the statute of William the Third, defining and confirming the privileges of Members of the House of Commons, by which he contended the members of that branch of the Legislature were placed in respect to per sonal privilege precisely on the same footing with members of the House of Lords, He held that the cases which he had quoted, and those of Lord Egremont and others, were conclusive, that outlawry could not issue against any Mem ber of Parliament. He submitted, therefore, that the rule must be discharged. Mr. Sergeant Seassets, in reply said,that the object of the Act of Parliament on which his Learned Friend relied. that of William 111., was to limit and restrict the un bounded and absurd privileges which the House of Com mons bad before laid claim to. That House had claimed for its members as such, not only an equality of privilege with the Peers of Parliament, in respect to protee-icea from personal molestation, but also privileges which the Peers never thought of claiming, and which no rational man could think of conceding. The Commons declared it a breach of privilege to institute any process of law whatever, or take any proceeding in Chancery against a member of that House. They went so far as even to commit all the parties to such proceedings—even the Judge. But the House of Lords took a more reasonable view of the matter, and ordered the parties to be dis charged. But this did not satisfy the House of Commons . The Speaker (Seymour) went so far as to take •he office of Sergeant upon himself, and with his own hands dragged out of Court the lawyer Pemberton. who appeared in an action against a member. The Lords discharged this per son also, but the Commons continued the unseemly con test, until the presumption of that House was con quered by the sobriety of the Lords—(A laugh—in which the Bench joined)—and after the revolution the Act of William was passed to confine the privilege to exemption from personal molestation, and to give to the crecitors of Members lawful means for receiving their just debts The Learned Sergeant . ..lien cited numerous cases, to show by analogy that there was no irregularity in issuing a capias, but in enforcing it The return non est inventna warranted the plaintiff in issuing an outlawry, which would have the effect of com pelling the defendant to satisfy the debt, in the event of a dissolution of Parliament. There was a wide difference between the privileges of the two Houses in respect to arrest. In the Peers it was perpetual and inherent in the person, in the Memb,•rs of the House of Commons it was only contingent, and might determine in several ways—by the act of the individual, or of the Crown, and by accept puce of office, or by r. dissokeion There were no legal objections to a plaintiff's proceeding with his ac:ion to the end, so as to be prepared with his execution, when either contingency should give him the opportunity to enforce it. The Loan CHIRP JUSTICE gave judgment at considerable length. He said that if the Court granted this rule, and allowed the outlawry to stand, their Lordships would in effect give orders to the Sheriffs to arrest a person whom they themselves would then be the first to discharge from custody. . _ The other Judges concurred, and the rule was accord. ingly discharged, with costs. FEES OP ARBITRATORS IN REFERENCE.—DORSET V. GINGER. This was an action for bay sold and delivered, in which the matters in dispute were referred to two hay salesmen, and a solicitor named Galley. These refused to publish their award until they were paid their fees, at the rate of three guineas a-day for each of the arbitrators, and costs of drawing and engrossing th e award, and other alleged separate professional services in the reference, on the part of Galley, amounting to 11/. 16s. The plaintiffs having paid the money, and obtained tho award of SON., iniisteA upon taxing the costs of the arbitrators. The Master pronounced the charges to be exorbitant, and r edu: ed them from 451. to 18/. They refused to return the diffe rence; and the Solicitor-General last term obtained a rule nisi to compel them to do so. Mr. Sergeant STEPHEN now showed cause against the rule, contending that the charges were reasonable, and that the award having been published and enforced, the damages (5001.) having been paid, none of the parties (especially not the arbitrators) were now before the Court, so as to enable the Court to disturb the award or any part of it. It would have been the proper course for the plain tiff to have brought an action sgainst th arbitrators to compel them to award. The SOLICITOR. GENERAL replied that the charges, es pecially that of three guineas per day of three hours, for the services of hay salesmen in a simple case of hay dea!ing, were exorbitant, and contended that although in all other respects, as between plaintiff and defendant, the cause was at an end, yet the arbitrators, by disobedience of the Mas ter's order, continued within the rules of the Court, and were rightly brought before it by the present application. Arbitrators and all persons unJertaking to carry into effect a rule of the Court were, to all inter,ts and purposes the officers of tho Court to that extent, and were amenable to its jurisdiction. The Court would therefore not permit them to say "we will not give you our award until you pay us mere than the officer of the Court for that purpose appointed directs us to receive." Nor when they had re ceived it would their Lordships allow them to retain it in contempt of the Master. The Loan CHIEF JUSTICE said that as this way a new case, and it was an important question whether the Court had the jurisdiction or not, their Lordships wished to look over the affidavits before they gave judgment. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, JAN. 12. HARRISON V. rARNEFOR'..). Mr. HUNIFREY appeared on behalf of the plaintiff to show cause against a rule obtained by Sir F. Pollock for setting aside a verdict for the plaintiff on the ground of collusion. The plaintiff was a servant of the West Cork Mining Company, and not being able to obtain an. salary was compelled to bring his action against the defendant, who was one of the Directors of the Company ; the action was tried before Mr. Baron Alderson, and the jury found for the plaintiff, but the Learned Judge suggested that it was no use harrassing the defendant, for the Court had already decided that the Directors were not personally lirde. Because he had acted upon that suggestion the Directors of the Company now came before the Court, and charged the plaintiff with obtaining, his verdict, by colluding with the defendant. That state ment was strongly denied by the affidavit of the plaintiff. The trial took place in November 1839, and the Directors only came to the Court now, being upwards of a year; he apprehended that that was too late, and that the Court would discharge the rule with costs. Mr BAOLEY appeared on the part of the defendant, who personally did not care whether the verdict stood or not, but he was most anxious that the charge of collusion should be wiped away. He denied it strongly, and trusted that the Court would so decide the case as to save him from further trouble or costs, with respect to the Welt C: irk Mining Company, with which ha now had nothing to do. Sir F. Pot.LocK, in support of the rule, said the parties for whom he appeared had been seeking redress in the Court of Chancery, which accounted for the delay in mak ing the motion. He would ask, if there was no collusion, why it was that the defendant had not at once given no tice of the action to the solicitor of the Company ? Upon a suggestion from the Court, all matters in dif ference between the parties were proposed to be referre to a gentleman at the bar, and the matter was ordered t tand over for a week. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Sir C. F. WILLIAMS.) THE MANCHESTER DISTILLERY COMPANY.—IN ax F. Y. CARRUTHERS Monday was the day fixed for the final adjourned exa. minntion of the bankrupt, the proceedings is whose case we have already reported. Mr. Beddome attended as Solicitor for the assignees, and Alderman T. Wood for the bankrupt. Mr. Alderman T. Wcod said Mr. Spires had gone to Scotland, and taken certain books with him. No .4 Eng lish" process could reach him or compel his attendance here. The Registrar (Mr. Parry) observed that it would be a breach of the articles of the union with Scotland to issue any English process into that part of her Majesty's domi nions. Mr. Beddome said that a large sum was still unac counted for in the bankrupt's balance -sheet. The bankrupt said he had rendered as good an account as he was able, and he had been most diligent in his at tendance upon the official assignee ; but there were cer tain explanations required which Mr. Spires alone could give, and he (Mr. Carruthers) had no mean: of compel ling his attendance. The Learned COMMISSIONER was strongly inclined to suspect that Spires knew more than he was inclined to dis close. Mr. Alderman T. Wood thought it would be greatly to the interest of the public that the Learned Commis sioner should state the conclusions at which he had ar rived in this matter, as they would fully exonerate the bankrupt from many false imputations which had been current against him. The Learned COMMISSIONEr. (to the bankrupt)—Have you yourself written to Spires to attend here ? The bankrupt—l have. Sir. The Learned COMMISSIONER—'this fortifies my suapi eioa that there is some thing wrong in his conduct. Mr. Alderman T. Wood—lt is my business to make it apparent that the property not accounted for is somewhere or other, but not with the knowledge of the bankrupt. The Learned COMMISSIONER—Everything uttered by you shows me that all is not right, and the non-attendance of Spires here to-day does nut arise from the mere circum stance of his expenses not having been tendered to hint. Mr. Alderman T. Wood observed that his Honour was perfectly right, but when it was discovered that Spires had gone to Scotland, it was found that there was no means loft of compelling his attendance. The Scotch Courts ' were extremely jealous of any interference in Scotland by English process. Mr. Bea'dome remarked that when he regarded the great deficiency unaccounted for in this balance sheet, which was so mixed up with that of his father, he could not feel satisfied without some further explanation. The bankrupt—My books willlshow everything which was given to my father, and I have nothing in the world which wi,h to conceal fr.m my creditors. The Learned CONINIISSIONER—Have you any intention, Mr. Carruthers, of l eav i ng t hi s ki ng d o m ? Mr. Carruthers being sworn, answered that he certainly had not; it was his firm intention to remain here, and do the best he could. Sir C. F. Wtaalasta—Then I am not to punish this young man because Mr. Spires has thought prope r t o r un away. Unfortunat e l y there was no process in law enabling us to get at him, or his books of accounts, and no action could reach him. This young man has done all in his power ; he has been diligent and attentive in giving such explanations of his accounts as he was able, and as I can ask no more from him, I shall pass his final examination. The bankrupt, having answered the customary ques tions, was declared to be « passed." ADELPHI THEATRE.— Deeds of Dreadful Note, notwithstandi ng its ominous title, kept the house in a roar. This novelty is full of fun, and a better provoca tive to mirth could scarcely have been produced. The performers in general sustained their parts most effectually, and at the fall of tho curtain the farce was announced for repetition. PRICES OF CANAL,DOCK,ASSUR ANCE COMPANY SHARES, &c. &c. &c.

FOREIGN.-There are large buyers of yellow Havanna!' both fur export and refining under bond at former rates, for fair average parcels 23s 63 have been offered, but holders for the most part not being disposed to sell thereat has re stricted business. Brazil has maintained its former value; white sorts at 24s to 25s for low and good middling white. This afternoon the market was firm for all descriptions, and a fair amount of business was transacted in Brazil and yellow Havannah by private treaty, at stiff prices; but at auction, 208 bads Porto Rico were taken in at 23; to 233 6d for mid yellow.

TEA.-The pacific accounts received from China have produced much inactivity in the market for Free Trade Tea, and a considerable depression in prices, the reduc tion since this day week amounting from 7d to 83 per Ib, and even thereat the trade has purchased with extreme caution of both black and green descriptions; Congou, in small parcels for cash has been disposed of at is 61 to Is 7d for ordinary and coarse sorts, fair and middling blackish leaf is 7i-d to is 81d, good and fine Is 9d to Is 100, and very tine Pekoe flavour is 11d to Is 11p ; small sales in Twankay for cash have been made at Is 7d to Is 8d for common, and is Bkel to is 9d for good brightish leaf; Canton Bohea, duty paid, has been sold at 3; 8d for good quality; indeed in the present state of the market it is difficult to quote prices, buyers as well as sellers not knowing what course to pursue ; for public sale on Tuesday next 3,000 pkgs are declared-other parcels are expected to be shortly advertized.

The deliveries of Tea for home use and export for the United Kingdom during the past year have been 6,000,000 lbs less than in 1839. To-day the trade operated with caution in Free Trade, and the transactions were trifling, but holders did not ap pear disposed to submit to any further reduction, and fair common Congou for cash was not to be purchased under Is (Ad per Ib; but if a large quantity was to be pressed for sale, it would be difficult to get that price.
