A volume will be published on the last day of every alternate month until the completion of the new issue. _ _ Of the First Edition, seven volumes have already been published ; and it is confidently expected that the eighth vo lume will be published within ten months from this date, and will complete the history down to the union of the Crowns in 1603. Both the First Edition, therefore, and this Cheap Edi tion will be completed, should health be granted to the author, in the course of the summer of next year (1842).

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, APRIL 2. (Before Mr. Commissioner FONTILANQUE. IN THE MATTER OF -- YOUNG. _ _ The bankrupt was a banker in Smithfield, and amongst the assets realised by Mr. Abbott, the official assignee to the estate, was a sum of 1,0001., which was not divided. This day Mr. Wilkinson, as solicitor for several credi tors, applied to his Honour to know what was to be done in consequence of the " absence" of the said official as signee. The creditors under the bankrupt's estate had already suffe ed severely, and it was too bad that they should not have received such a dividend as the sum of 1,0001. would, if properly administered, have afforded to them. The Learned COMMISSIONER thought that the appoint ment of trade assignees was intended to look after the proper division of the bankrupt's particular effect:, and if they failed in the necessary vigilance which they should have exercised, no blame could attach to the Court. Mr. Wilkinson—That, your Honour, might be so ; but, in this case, when a search was made at the office of the Accountant-general, in consequence of the nc vspaper reports, referring to the "retirement," or rather the " abscondment " of Mr. Abbott, net even the mention of the bankrupt's name was to be fuund in the books of this (the bankrupt's) establishment. The Learned Commissioner—The court is compara tively powerless in this respect. The Commissioners do all they can in the furtherance of Lenefit to creditors, through the appointment of " trade assignees," and it the)' will not do their duty, the fault is with the creditors who select there. Mr. Wilkinson.—ln other courts the Learned Com missioners call for the banker's books of the official assig nees ; and wit( re they find that they have cash in hand of the bankrupt's estates, of whica they are supposed to be the protectors a 3 well as the administrators, to a larger amount than 1001., they immediately direct the surplus to be paid in to the Bank of England, to the account of the Accountant-General, and thereby secure so much fur the creditors. The Learned COMMISSIONER.—I am always most an• xious for the protection of creditors. It was the great object of the establishment of this Court, but we can exereise . the power given us by the Act of Parliament. Mr. Wilkinson.—Then I would submit to your Honour that an alteration, and a speedy alteration too, should tako place in the law; it is hard enough that creditors (as in this case) who might have receivel five shillings in the pounds upon their respective debts should now be left with out a single farthing, although the audit was declared for September last. The conversation then dropped. MR. LAWRENCE'S BENEFIT.—On Monday trxt Mr. Lawrence, treasurer of the Surrey Theatre, takes his benefit at that house. He will have the assistance of Mr. Paul Bedford, Mr. Stansbury, Mr. Wright, Mr. T. Matthews, Miss Covency, and otter performers who are disengaged on that evening in consequence of the closing of the me' ropolitan theatres, together with the excellent performers of this popular theatre. The entertainments for the evening are well selected, and as theatrical amuse - meat in Passion week is not very abundant, Mr. Lauren , o is likely have as many visitors as he can accommodate All who know his obliging manners and the atter&on he pays to his duty at this establishment, say be cannot have too many, and will be Lappy to render him every support. PRICE sd. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE, HOME ClRCUlT.—KrArasrox, Arita 2. noss V. NORRIS—LIBEL. This was an action for libel brought by the plaintiff against the defendant, the publisher of the Railway Times, for an account which appeared in that paper on the subject of a Company called the Cornwall Har bour and Vieteria Railway Company, of which the plaintiff had been the Secretary. Mr. Tnesiger and Mr. Gurney were for the plaintiff, and Mr. Pratt . and Mr. Petersdorff for the defendant. The defendant pleaded a justification and a variety of other pleas. Mr. THESIGER stated the case, and said that the plaintff in 1833 had projected tie Company in ques tion, which was intended to open a more extended Leans of communication with the West of England, and the plaintiff was the Secretary ; the affair did turn out a failure, and the plaintiff's circumstances did be come embarrassed, and he was arrested, and subse quently a report in cannection with the Company was published in the Railway Times, in which the most disgraceful con ;act was imputed to the plaintiff, and he had no alternative but to bring the present action in vindication of his character. Great difficulty had, however, been thrown in his way by the Company keeping back his books, 'which would have given im portant evidence in his behalf, but still he hoped to be able to obtain that satisfaction at the hands of the Jury to which he was entitled. The sale of the i paper, containing the alleged libel, at the office in Fleet-street, was theta proved ; and the libel was read. It charged the plaintiff with peculation of various kinds, and attributed the failure of the Cam party to his misconduct. As there was no proof ef pub lication in the county of Surrey, however, it was admit ted that, -avert the - general issue; tife - defendant must have a verdict.. _ Mr. PLATT, on behalf of the defendant, then addressed the Jury, and said that he should satisfy them th;it the report was founded in truth, and that the plea of justi fication would, be supported by the evidence be should adduce, and the Jury would feel themselves bound to give a verdict for the defendant. Mr. PLATT was then about to call his witnesses, when a suggestion was made that the matter should be settled by a juror being withdrawn, but a difficulty aris ing as to the question of costs, the evidence was gone into. Sit C. Lemon, M.P., identified a paper produced as the handwriting of the plaintiff. This paper contained a report of a preliminary meeting for the formation of the Company in question, and represented that he (Sir C. Lemon) had moved a resolution in approbation of the Company. He was not present at any meeting, and did not move any such resolu►ion. Cross-examined—Had known the plaintiff before, and, in the course of conversation, might have ex pressed his approval of the proposed plan. He, how ever, always said that he did not think it would make a zood private speculation, and he forbade the use of his name. Mr. Ponsford deposed that he was one of the Di rectors of the Company in question. He also stated, that on one occasion he gave the plaintiff a cheque for 32/. to pay the account of Mr. Barker, the adver tising agent, who never received the money, and brought an action against the Company for the amount, and obtained a verdict. He had also given the plain tiff a cheque for 311. for another tradesman, and this sum was also never arconated for. Cross•examined—Was aware that the prospectus referred to had been circulated. _ _ Mr. Cobb, the solicitor to the Company, proved that he had brought an action against the pliintlf for this sum, and recovered it ; and Ross subsequently brought an action against the Company for an alleged balance due to him, and he was nol,suited. Mr. Barker proved that he never received the cheque for 232/. from the plaintiff; and a clerk from Lad brook's Bank was examined to prove that the cheque in question, and other of the Company's cheques, had been paid into the Bank to the private account of the plaintiff. The clerk to an engraver, named Sylverton, proved that business had been done for the Company to the amount of 31/. 65., and he never received a cheque for that sum from the plaintiff. Sir William Molesworth, whose name had also been mentioned by the plaintiff, in the prospectus referred to, as being connected with the Company, proved that he had no connection with it, and never authorised his name to be brought forward, neither did he ever move or second any resolution approving of the objects of the proposed Company. Lord DENMAN, in summing up, observed that no an swer appeared to lave:tie - 4in given to the cafe made out by ti e defendant, in reference to the cheques ; and, as to what had been said about keeping back the Com pany's books, if the plaintiff thought they were essential to make out his case, nothing could be easier than for him to have given notice to produce them ; but this he had not done. With regard to the prospectus that had been alluded to, there could be no doubt that it was a great fraud upon the public, by pretending to giva the sanction and support of distinguished persons to a scheme with which they were not in any way con nected. The libel in question certainly cast very strong imputations upon the plaintiff, and which, if net true, ought not to have been published ; but this was a question for the Jury. If they thought the statement had been justified, they would find for the defendant ; but if not, they would then return a verdict for the plaintiff, with such damages as they considered the jus tice of the case required. The Jury, after a short deliberation, returned a ver dict for the defendant upon all the issues. DRUMMOND V. TIIE EARL OF ONSLOW. This was an action of trespass, brought by the plain tiff, the Lord of the Mane of Aldbury, against the defendant. The care commenced before a Special Jury on Thursday, and was not concluded until nearly twelve o'clock at night. The action was brought to establish the boundaries of the two manors adjoining etch other, of which the plaintiff and the noble d e f en d an t were t h e l or d s . A nurnlo•,,r of witnes7c , , chiefly very aged men, were exa mined, who deposed to various acts of ownership that bad been exercised by the plaintiff and preceding lords over the land in question ; and the Jury alternately found for the plaintiff, with 0/. damage!. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. Grow' Bass, the driver of omnibus 4,871, was sum moned to answer the complaint of an old man named James Manby, whose life was placed in imminent dan ger by the racing propensities cf the defendant. The complainant stated that he came into town on Thursday in his cart, and was in Bishopsgate-street at a little after five o'clock, when he saw the defendant driving an omnibus down the street. Complainant en deavoured to get out of the way as speedily as he could by driving up Sun-street, and called out to the driver, but the omnibus dashed against the cart, and turned it over, and it was a miracle that he was not killed. He had grasped a lamp-post in endeavouring to save him self, and he was picked up and examined by a surgeon, who found that no bones had been broken. The cart was injured to the amount of 11. 19s. 6d. The LORD MAYOR—Are you sure that the driver must have seen you ? Complainant—Certainly. He saw me long before he turned me over. Mr. Booker, one of the parochial officers of Bishops gate, said that he happened to witness the transa tion, in which the driver was wholly to blame. It was the practi,:e of omnibus drivers, notwithstanding all that had been said and done about racing, to endanger the lives of people constantly in Bishopsgate-street, by contests of this kind. Two omnibuses genet ally started at the same moment from the Flower Pot Inn, and off they galbped, apparently careless of the mischief they might de. In the present case, the driver of the, om nibus must have seen the complainant before he ap proached within twenty yards of hire ; and the old man would probably have been killed, if he had not seized the lamp post. Witness held up his hand to the driver, as the omnibus bore down upon the cart. Another person, who witnessed the occurrence, gave similar evidence, and said that the defendant was in fault. Henry Jordan, of Temple-street, Hackney-road, 1:- censed victualler, stated that he was a passenger on the outside of the omnibus, and plainly saw the occurrence. The old man's cart was, as the omnibus was passing along at the rate of ❑o more than the miles an hour, going into Sun-street in a very careless sort of way, and no effort seemed to be made to get out of the way at all. Witness thought the man who drove the cart was either half asleep or half drank. The driver of the omnibus endeavoured to pull up, and was not at all to blame. William Wood, city policeman, No. 667, stated that he saw what occurred from the corner of Sun-street, and described the matter as the witnesses for the prose cution had described it. He was sure that if the old man had fallen against the curb stone death would have ensued. Witness had frequently given notice to the drivers about the manner in which they drove, but it was useless. The Lord MAYOR said that the case was an exces sively gross one, and that he entertained not the slightest doubt of the truth of the whole of the evidence for the prosecution. Defndan andt— MY Lord, I have b een d r i ving these 18 years, there never befor e was a complaint e against me. The Lord MAYOR—You must pay the whole of the damages, and compensate this poor man, or I shall in flict a heavy penalty upon you. PUBLICATIONS. THE STATESMA N.

TflEl LATE SIR A. COOPER. For many months previous to his late illness, Sir Artley Cooper had occasionally experienced knat dyspncea, up3n the slightest exertion ; and it had been observed by his friends that the peculiarity of his complexion bespoke some serious impediment to the circulation. It was not, hew ever, till about six weeks before his death that he found difficulty in assuming the recumbent position; and about that time he began to pass the greater part of his nights in the a-m-chair, railer than attempt to lie down. He still continued to see a few patients during the day, both at home and at their own houses. Ho now became the sub ject of frequent cough ; which was immediately brought on, if he attempted to recline. The gout, cf which he had for several years experienced periodical attacks, showed itself imperfectly in the fore-finger of the left hand; and his legs began to swell, owing to the depending position in which they cot stantly remained. During all this time he refused medical aid; and it was not till the 22d cd . January that he consented to see any ono, to whom he might state his symptoms. At the time he was first visited, he was sitting in his chair, with his blely inclined forward, and his chin nearly resting on his chest; the pulee accelerated; not the slightest bruit nor abnormal sound in the heart, though the beat was extensive, and heatd quite to the right side of the chest. The lungs afforded considerable bronchial rattle, but were neither consolidated nor compressed, and filled both cavities of the chest. Although remedies appeared more than once to produce a temporary remission of his symptoms, and afurther attack of gout in ono foot seemed to afford some relief to the chest, yet, upon the whole, the diseased advancei, atm was attended by frightful fits of dysprana, during which his face was purple and his mind confused; and it was in one of these paroxysms that he died, on the morning of the 12th of February. Shortly before his death, Sir Astley Cooper expressed a wish that the appearances which should be presented on the inspection of his body might be recorded in the Guy's Hospital Reports. He bag particularly alluded to four pcint?, the investigation of which be thought desirable ; a cured oblique inguinal hernia ; a cured umbilical hernia ; some suspected indications of phthisis in his youth ; and an inability to sleep whilst lying oa his left side.—.llledica Gazette.

PLUMER WARD'S NEW NOVEL.—The unusual interest excited by the announcemer4 of Mr. Ward's "De Clifford, or the Constant Man," is at length gratified, and the work proves, like all the previous produc tions of its writer, full of the highest species of interest that can belong to fictions of this nature, the interest of which springs from the actual life of the scenes and the action represented. Through the medium of an intensely exciting p!ot,' this accomplished writer places before us a series of pictures so singularly true to nature, and so indi vidualized as to have all the air of portraits, and to create the impression that they must have been drawn from ac tual observation; and as several of the leading ones among them occupy prominent and precise positions in public life at the commencement of the present century, it is al_ most impossible to avoid tracing in them, or fancying we trace, likenesses of some of the celebrated men of that pe riod. Who can read, for instance, the admirable sketches of Lord Castleton, the Marquis of Rochfort, Lori Felix, Lord Albany, &c., without feeling that they aro not "of imagination all compact." In this point of view, as well as in its interest as a love story, "Do Clifford" is likely to rival its celebrated predecessors from the same pen. THE LIFE OF PETRARCH, BY THOMAS CAMPBELL. —We may assert with confidence, that there are very few even among well-informed persons, who know anything more of Petrarch than as a poet and as the adorer of Laura. They are not aware that this poet of love for all times and all nations, was also a statesman who lived and corresponded with the greatest men of his age, and who was intrusted with important diplomatic missions; and that literature owes him infinite obligations for the pains which he took to preserve the ancient classic writers, and to encourage a taste for the study of their works. Those who would wish to make themselves quainted with Petrarch's history and merits, will learn with interest that the celebrated author of " The Pleasures of Hope" has just completed a Life of him, in which, with the feeling of a genuine poet he will doubtless do full justice to the character of that eminent man in all its bearings. • i , 4 WITH PROFITS.

GUILDHALL. On Thursday Joseph Sheers, the Secretary to the Shoemakers' Trades Union, was brought up in custody, charged with having, by intimidation, forced a sheeinaker in the employ of Messrs. Homan and Herne, Nc. 25, Skin ner-street, shoe-manufacturers, to desert from his hiring. Mr. Homan stated that, for several days past, his pre mises had been beset by a dozen men, who were, paid 4e per hour out of a trade fund, to watch his premises con- • tinually, and deter men from doing any work for them. Sometimes they used persuasion only, sometimes intimi dation and violence. One day last week a party rashed into his lobby, and tore up the benches placed for the ac commodation of persons bringing in or taking out work, very much alarming several females who were waiting. Ono of them fainted. The object of the journeymen was not to advance wages, but to control the firm in the mode of conducting their business. The men sought to prevent them tram making a certain descrip tion of goods they had not been in the habit of malting. They were large exporters, and employed a great many hands in making best women's shoes at Is. 4,1. and Is. per , pair, but they purchased ready-made and inferior deaerid tions to the extent of ten times the quantity. They btely determined to make for themselves a portion of this infeiier description, giving 10d. a pair, with the vice: chiefly of forming a sort of probation class, from which tl.e hinds for best work should be selected. The men met, discnst , ed the mater, and brought to the firm a written resolutior, that they woull not take such inferior work, except the materials were of a certain quality thereivlctineri. The firm replied that they must be left to determine what ,sort of nra'erials they would have made up, but were willing that in one of the materials there should be A visible dif ference from the superior goods. The men, however, would have nothing but their own terms, and immediately struck. The prisoner said he had conversed civilly with the complainant without using any intimidation whatever. The MAGISTRATES having consulted were of opinion the intimidation had been made out, and they adjudged,the prisoner to hard labour on the tread-mill for three months. The full penalty of the law would be inflicted in all such cases of molestation and intimidation of workmen. The prisoner said he should like to hale' legal advice. Mr. Alderman LAINSON replied ho could not yield to that now the case had been concluded. The prisoner was committed. EVENING EDITW: PARISII RATES. The following form of petition to Parliament is respect. fully offered to the consideration of the Clergy of England for adoption in their several parishes. It has already re eeib-cO the signatures of eigty- eight principal Rate-payers in the parish of Eastbourne, Sussex, where it originated. PETITTON. To the Honourable the Commons of Great Britain and Ireland in Parliament assembled--The humble Petition of ,he undersigned inhabitants of the parish of Eastbourne, in :he county of Sussex, Showeas, lst—That it has bo.en customary, according to law, to assess occupiers only to the poor -rate. 2dly—That owing to the amount of the qualification for the office of guardians of the poor almost all persons in agricultural parishes, but the renting farmers, have been excluded from exercising the duties of the office. Your peti.ioners therefore pray your Honourable House to cause owners of property; who are in reality _the only furnishers of the rat?, to be assessed instead of the occu piers, and to make the collection of the rate chargeable upon the properties of absentee landlords in the same way as the tithe commutation rent charge is now by law made chargeable. At all events, so to reduce the necessary &Yr:cunt of rateable qualification for the office of guardians all respectable persons may be duly qualified to serve the same. And your petit' oners will ever pray, &c. March 24, 1841. The Bishop of Chichester has ut►,lertakea to present the petition to the Peers, and the Hon. C. Cavendish to the Commons. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.
