MORNING SITN_• _ discriminate between cases essentially different in their moral complexion deprives itself of the support of public opinion ; and a law which is not supported by public opinion can never be carried into effect. HERALD!—Tow loss of moral reputation is, per haps, the most disastrous consequence of Lord Palmer ston's commercial policy. The total amount and value of our exports niay have increased during the last ten years ; that increase is the result of a truth on which Mr. Samuel Jones Loyd stumbled in preparing his set speech for the City election ; the political necessities and social position of the country compel our manufacturers annually to augment the amount of their productions, ' and that augmentation is forced into all the marketh of the world, sold there at a loss or without profit, and then issue complaints from Lancashire and Lanarkshire, loud F and deep, that our commercial system produces the, diookess which is the consequence of overstocked markets, and the supply being greater than the de mand. The want of our manufacturers is new markets ; they can undersell all other nations, the United States perhaps exempted, in the very coarsest cottons, or domes tics, and clit i apueSs eve-ywhere begets them a monopoly. Now the giCatest obstacle to the creation of new markets is that loss of 'bond reputation which has been the result of Lora Palmerston's policy. Laboriously, systemati cally, and in despite of the public reprobation of every man in the kingdom, who from knowledge was compe tent to express an opinion. Lord Palmerston has de graded the character of England in the estimation of every nation, be it civilised or barbarous, of every people, be their colour white or black, tawny or zed, of every climate, be it temperate, torrid, or freezing. This is not merely assertion—these are not merely words ; if they be. we again call on the Globe to dis prove or contradict them. The opinion thus ex pressed is the impartial result of close observation, of extensive opportunities of ascertaining facts, of severe investigation, and of an earnest desire to arrive at truth. The degradation which Lord Palmerston has brought on the British character is very much the consequence of the submission he has made to gross and ille g al attacks on our commercial rights. He is the first British Goreigc Minister who has systematically submitted to all acts of hostility exhibited by other States to our commerce ; he has accustomed the nation to infringements and interrup tions of our trade with distant countries ; he has begot the bad habit of permitting these violations of our com merce; he has destroyed the prestige which the power of international law formerly possessed in the minds of on merchants for the protection of their ventures. GLOBE.—The mystery , in which Sir Robert Peel has thought proper to veil his plans for the future seems to give the fullest satisfaction to the Tory press, which, on the principle of accepting " name ignotum pro mag nifica" is clealingvit liberal praises on the wise reserve that " the Great Unfathomable" continues to exercise. Like the witch in Macbeth, Sir Robert leaves off by ex claiming, " I'll do, I'll do, I'll do,"—but leaves us to ex ercise our ingenuity as to what is to be the particular nature of the extensive do which he contemplates. We cannot believe it possible that the able persons who con duct some of the principal Tory Journals can really feel all the admiration they pretend for a statesman who gives no account of his views ; because, if silence as to the future were so great a virtue, one might find that qua lity in the fullest perfection among the wax figures at Madame Tussaud's ingenious exhibition. From these a whole Cabinet of Statesmen, all ready dressed in the robes of office, might be selected at a moment's notice, against any of whom Sir Robert Peel might be matched for smiling , and simpering muteness, and the con test would probably end like that between the Chi nese Mandarin and the Dutch Ambassador, from which the latter silently withdrew after a display for several hours of mutual dumbness and dignity. It may offend the Conservative party to compare their leader to a lay figure ; but when all that his warmest admirers can say for him is, that he will not do this, he will not do that, and he will not do the other—so long as his qualifica tions for the Ministry are merely negative—so long as we gre told that " lie will not rupture alliances;" " he will nO plunge the country into wars," and " will not attempt to recn;ce the House of Lords," we cannot refrain from remarking . ) • that in every one of these displays of in action, any of the great political characters in Madame Tussaud's costly collection would be even more than a match for him. The simile of Sir Robert Peel, in which lie compares the present state of political affairs to a case for medical interference, leaves one question at issue, namely, " Which are the quacks—the physicians now in attendance, or the practitioner whose haste to be regularly called in is avowed with most indecent earnestness ?" This is a question that the ultimate recovery of the patient will in a great measure decide : but in the meantime it will be admitted that the quackery is most likely' to be on the side of him whose plan of operations 'can only be carried on beneath the veil of mystery. Impostors of every . description re quire obscurity for the success of their imposition ; and la jargon of unmeaning sounds, which Sir Robert seems disposed to improve into absolute silence, is the ordinary accompaniment to the tricks of the conjuror. STANDARD.—The Ministerial Journalists are still busily employed in endeavouring to foment disturbances in the manufacturing districts. With the feeling that seduced them into a premature expression of their exultation at the prospect of a deficient harvest, they have begun to be affected with the most intense sympathy for the manufacturing classes. The apologists for the New Poor-law are suddenly over whelmed with pity for the unhappy condition of the suffering poor in Manchester, Birmingham, and other of our manufacturing districts ; who have, they tell us, been " progressing downwards" during the last three years ! Men who have resolutely shut their eyes to the distresses of their fellow-creatures, and who have applauded a system which treats poverty . as a crime, are now so sensitively alive to the misery around them, that they net,:sr dreamed of looking for it before ! An anxious desire to maintain the O'Connell Ministry in office has ma& philanthropists of them ! An " over whelming Conserviitive majority" has invested them with a miseroscopie ey for human misery. They are even quick-sighted enough to discover what they and their patrons have themselves helped to create ! 'We should hail this marvellous change . with greater satisfaction if we could believe it to be sincere ; but the veil of philanthrophy is too thin to conceal the rabid expression of countenance be neath it ; however, as hypocrisy is the homage which vice renders to virtue, we must, we suppose, regard the present demonstration as affording some slight indication of improvement in the moral perceptions of our oppo nents. The Morning Chronicle, fortified by a brace of extracts from the Leeds Mercury (Cobbett's " great liar" of the north) and a Radical Manchester news paper, in an article headed " Alarming State of the Manufacturing Disiricts," assures us that the position of affairs is such in the latter neighbourhood that the Tory Noblemen of England are organising yeomanry corps, with the view, " no doubt, of preventing the neces sity of making a large increase of the regular army ;" and (if we understand one of the Chronicle's authorities aright) of" involving the whole country in a civil war!" The Nobleman who is said to be taking the initiative in this good work is Lord Francis Egerton—and his mo-; tive, that of securing his property against the inevitable consequence of Tory misrule ! We presume that this story may safely be left, like the sixteen and sixpenny one of the Taraworth Boniface, without contradiction. It affords, however, additional proof, if any were want ing, of the folly which is sometimes superinduced by excessive anger. The assertion that Sir Robert Peel " will find it necessary to make a large addition to the army in Ireland," may seem more plausible, looking, at the success of the efforts of Mr. O'Connell and the Roman Catholic priesthood on many recent occasions ; but it is a fallacy, nevertheless. COURlER.—Parliament, we take it fur granted, as sembles on the 19th f or th e d espatc h o f b us i ness, as we cannot believe that the perfidy of the provisional Ministry would carry them to far as to violate the solemn pledge to that effect given by Lord John Russell. Our confidence had been less assailable o n this point, wets there any subterfuge, pre ience, or loophole left to the Whigs whereby they could escape the fulfilment of their obligation ; but the keenest ingenuity would be baffled to discover even a colourable pretext for postponement. The question then naturally arises, " What will the condemned Cabi nd ttu ?" To what course of perfidious policy will they _resort fir , the consummation of their treason against .cwnstitutional government, and consequently of their infa mous career ? The prints who affect so much indignation at Sir R. Peel's unavoidable reserve, and pretend such arac . tr as to ignorance of of his principles and his ch pect from him a presc r iption (to adopt his own apt il lustration) before he has-had access to the patient, main tain a profound, but, perhaps in this..case,_ a prudent silence as to the course of' paltry expedients and factious frauds upon which their paymasters mean to rely in order to face the new Parliament. Upon that subject tie country is left completely in the dark, with the . c e.x. into - eepil'on of a few scattered and equivoca l hints, win 11 with s'lsPicious coincidence find their way the columns ,'f the Whig press in the shape of correspon dence, but thich sma ck stran g el y of the editorial alembie. But what do we gather from these ambiguous inuendoes. What' do these artfully put forth feelers dote ? It is this, and we challen g e the Whig to deny oi'* - --einsay - it, that the' Members of the Melbourne Ministry individually and collectively are determined by the most shameful and disloyal abuse of the privileges of their position to place the Crown in s relation of direct opposition, if not of open hostility, to the constitutionally and emphatically expressed wishes the people. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. ' FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. TINEES.—It was stated on 'Change by one of the members of a city mercantile house of good standing, that accounts have been received from Canton with in telligence beyond that contained in the Calcutta papers, which is said to be to the effect, that the Emperor had ordered Keshen to be strangled, and that the order had been oarried into execution ; also that the chief officer of a ship of merchant Rustumjee's had been decapitated. The mode in which this intelligence might have been ob tained in eaten: t o is explained as follows :—Other letters from that place m l / 4. , nton the arrival in port of a vessel from Singapore at the when the post was starting, i and it is supposa that tll-6 ntelligence described above was received by this channel. As it appears that no other house in the city has this news, 2nd under all these circumstances of doubt it must necessarily be received with a great deal of caution. It may have been this that produced the speculative dealings that took place in teas 'to-day, and which excited the dealers to operate so largely as to cause a rise of between 2d. and 3d. per lb, upon the day's transactions. POST.—The communication addressed by Senor Sung y Ruhl to Mr. Uockin respecting the capitalisation of Coupons, has done noth i ng for the Spanish market. The rtherafitneadnteriaielk market tricks and that have been played off in at Madrid have so totally destroyed the depe p n u d bl lone no o - edit of . Spain th a t th e b on dh o ld ers here will i n no nross emanating from it. Th e y will substantialbe lieve relief being afforded them until the money shall be actuall y wo d their pockets ; nor can their incred u li ty b e n ered at or censured, when it is remembered that the decrees of 1836, to say nothing of those anterior to them, but which were not so specially framed for the purposes of betrayal, remain to this moment unfulfilled. The coupons of November, 1836, wore capi talised and surrounded with the most solemn guarantees, but there was no money paid, and nothing more had been said upon the subject until a few days ago, when out came a project for the recapitalisation of the same thing at a greatly reduced rate of interest, contrary to all justice, law, and honour, and without any previous negotiation with the holders. Senor Surra y Rull find= cause to approve of the steady " loyalty" of the foreign bondholders, and as a reward for their meritorious for bearance, he promises to give them three per cent. in stock where five per cent. is due in money, on the divi dends in arrear, which, in the event of performance, will be the real and only active portion of the foreign debt of Spain; the bonds already afloat, consisting, if accurately described, of Inactive, Passive, and Deferred, for these are the just and proper designations to be given to the three principal kinds. His promise is, however, only a Spanish promise, and of little value. It is to be observed that, while Senor Surra y Rull enters freely enough into a correspondence with an indi vidual bondholder concerning his projects and intentions, he observes a profound silence towards the Committee, the memorial of which neither he nor Senor Gamboa has had the courtesy to notice, and in this conduct they have both been guilty of no little disrespect to Lord Pal merston, through whom it was forwarded. The Chamber of Commerce at Bombay has issued a circular addressed to the Presidents and Members of the East India Association and the Chambers of Commerce of Great Britain, pointing out the evils of the temporising policy pursued by the English Commissioner. It appears to the Climber that Captain Elliot should by all means have taken advantage of the feeling of awe with which the Chinese were inspired by the capture of Chusan and the presence of a British force in the vicinity of Pekin, instead of allowing the dispute to stand over for future arrangement at Canton, an alternative proposed by the Emperor in a moment of consternation only as a means of getting rid of so formidable an enemy, and which ought to have been instantly seen through as a hollow pretext and nothing more. The document contains a just exposition of all the Commissioner's gross blunders, but it is the less necessary that we should enter more into details now, as he will be shortly relieved by Sir Henry Pottinger from the responsibilities of his office.

The LORD CHANCELLOR gave Judgment to -day in this case which came before the Court upon appeal. The question in the case related to the foreclosure of a mort gage. The Court ordered the appeal to be dismissed with costs. THE DUKE OF BEAUFORT V. NEELD—AND NEELD V. THE THE PRESENT DUTY OF THE CHURCH. MINISTERIAL CONFERENCE. TO THE MODERATOR AND OTHER CLERGYMEN OF THE ESTABLISHED CHURCH OF SCOTLAND. DEAR SIRS AND FELLOW-COUNTRYMEN—We solicit your deliberate attention, since we appeal to you on mat ters which alike interest Christians and citizens of every name. We had hoped to obtain your audience through another medium, but the arrangements to which we trusted have been unsuccessful. We desire not to ex clude you from a common sympathy, and an equal op portunity of benevolence and co-operation with ourselves and fellow-subjects, while we honestly believe we have been permitted to engage in a generous and honourable enterprise. We employ the allusion, not as a reproach, when we call to remembrance the claim which has been often urged for your ecclesiastical establishment as the poor man's church. Undoubtedly many devoted members within your pale. and thousands who have never sought any other fold than your communion, and who trust to you as their only religious instructors, are numbered as the children of toil, whose weary portion is to labour hard in ill-requited industry, and to feed scantily on high-priced and heavily-taxed bread. The faithful amongst you who, as parochial clergymen, mingle with their people, and watch over the sorrows and privations of the lowly and indigent, can testify, that myriads of the community are not only scarcely fed and miserably supplied with the means of subsistence, but have their minds alienated from religion and filled with' hostile surmises about the selfish and uncharitable heartlessness of all clergy as Christian teachers. The sneers and scoffs heaped on religion, and the bitter scorn meted out on the Saviour's name for this presumed indifference of all spiritual functionaries to the plundered and suffering, will not only Be present to your memory, but be painful to your mind in consideration of the reproach which thus unmeritedly falls on your Lord. You have not always been listless to such considera tions, or callous to the impoverished condition of your community ; especially when exigencies have arisen from inclement seasons and unpropitious harvests ; your days of prayer, when rain has been withheld, and your thanks givings, when a bountiful harvest has been reaped, have betokened your devout concerns in such matters. When only a section of the country has been visited by the withering blast, the sterile drought, or the ungenial cold, (we refer to it as a matter of history,) you have hesitated not, and feared no imputations for secularity or for courting the 'applause of worldly men ; you seemed not to dread the suspicion of hollow-heartedness or hypocri tical sympathy for the poor. Thus, when the Orcadians and inhabitants of Shetland had been visited with the calamity of a fruitless harvest and the coinci dence of occasional failure in their fishery, a deputation of your body, composed of Dr. M'Leod and others of your most eminent men, was delegated to the metro polis and the large provincial towns, and employed for weeks to plead for charity, and summon the resources of fphilanthropy, to aid the famishing and miserable suf erers in the hour of their need and despair. Perhaps it was prudent, then, not to discuss the prin ciple of that law which restricted them from providing against such a calamity by the interchange of the pro duce of their sea coasts for the grain of continental coun tries ; whose consumption of fish would have equalled their largest demand for cheap and seasonable supplies of wheat. Nevertheless it is true, that when afterward the liberality of benevolence had enabled them to draw from the watery deep the bounties of a propitious Provi dence, .which neighbouring countries were anxious to purchase, the law prevented the exchange on equal terms, and again exposed the Orcadians to the hazard and perils of a yearly recurring famine. Was it wise and 'generous thus to • interpose your reli gious character and influence in an emergency, which straitened a few thousands, and which was aggravated by unjust and impious laws ? Or will you plead that your sympathy was excited, and your energies devoted to their relief only because it was presumed their wants originated immediately in a visitation of God ? Would it, then, be less wise and just to exert yourselves where the sufferers are millions, and the ostensible and only cause of evil is the unequal and injudicious legislation of men ? Is not your obligation to exert yourselves doubly enforced by the consideration that the system (if an evil one,) may be altered and remedied by the en grossing of a parchment roll in obedience to the united and constitutional prayers of a loyal and virtuous people ? Some of you may question the wisdom or expediency of revoking the Corn-laws, and may doubt whether this would cure the evil. We have indeed been told that we cannot reckon on your co-operation in the contemplated movement, because from the present fiend system, and the interest which by the glebes, &c., you have in the high price of agricultural produce, your secular emolu-.. ments are augmented in proportion as restrictive laws on the • supply of food have their operation. If, how ever, such a connection does subsist, and if, hence, natural apprehensions should arise, yet surely an equitable settlement might be obtained in any legislative change. But if any hazard of dimi nution should appear to threaten your temporal in terests in competition with the interests of millions of a starving people, will you suffer such contingency to de tain you from our conference ? Can you incur the im putation, or expose, yourselves to the suspicion that sel fishness or avarice prevents your judgment, and dictates a national injustice—a universal calamity ;or that you have no confidence in your principles, and no faith in the master whom you profess to serve, for a provision such as your wants require if you obey him, and do justly, and love mercy ? What a fearful responsibility would be thus incurred ! What would be the effect but to countenance the vilest and most slanderous accusations of our enemies against our sacred religion, and to lay it open to the ridicule of the infidel and the profane ? But you do not all entertain the apprehensions to which we refer. There is one whom many of you delight to honour, and whose writings possess among you an autho ritative reputation. His sentiment on the subject and his expressions we gladly echo, that you may all be induced to give the subject a patient and thoughtful con sideration. For the sake of its moral benefit, we know of no achievement more urgently desirable than that of a free corn trade. Th ere i s not a more fertile topic of clamour and b urn i ng di scontent a ll over t h e l an d ; an d , were i t b ut effectually put at Test, we are aware of nothing which might serve more to sweeten the breath of British society.' Such i s th e emphasis and decision of Dr. Chalmers ' s judgment on " question of free t rade. free r a a ndde c h o a r trade," dn not assumed su p m r e o d no i tce tisnprdesewrn•ht eformi dable m agnitude. intensity andbefore th e di scuss i o n had arrested agitation sty by the public mind to the a' teevery apprehension day, s pr 0 nee which d now gains aceu mu l rt i ve _ ings, and the fearful e° motions of the commercial I world. If these words were true rwhen now.

Will you reftise to join us in seeking a prayerful and just settlement of this absorbing question ? Can you re fuse your aid " to sweeten the breath of Briti s h society," which such a movement is likely to serve ? We emb race you in the terms in which we have invited ten thousand ministerial coadjutators, without any affectation of the spirit of catholicity. We say to you, as ministers of re ligion, come in the bonds of kind ness and reciprocal fellowship, and let selfish interests and partisan prejudi ces be laid on the altar of our common country, w hi te we inquire and take counsel how we may best and most effectually promote the prosperity of Britain, the peace of the communV , and the paramo unt authority of o ur holy religion. e repeat to you what we have said in part to the Methodist Conference, and entreat you, as we have besought them, to consider what is present duty " and what our God requires of you. If Nehemiah re. buked the nobles because they oppressed the people and brought them into bondage by keeping up corn ; and if, by the prophet Isaiah; the God of heaven and earth has taught us that the fast which he has chosen is to undo the heavy burdens, to fet the oppressed go free, and to cleal bread to the hungry, then surely Ministers of reli gion are only legitimately fulfilling the duties of their province when they take counsel how food may be ob. tained for the necessities of their fellow men. Receive as from us and the Committee whom we re present, the circular appeal which has been issued bear ing the name of our respected friend and colleague in this good work, Mr. George Thompson ; and believe us , fel - low-countrymen, yours faithfully, J. W, MASSIE, Chapel-street Chapel, Salford. WILLIAM M'KEREOW, Lloyd-street Chapel. Manchester, August 2, 1841. •TH E SUN, LONDON,RWEDNESDA - AUGUST 4; 1841. DUKE OF BEAUFORT. The LORD CHANCELLOR also gave Judgment in these two appeals from the decision of his Honour the Vice Chancellor. In the first appeal the Dukc of Beaufort sought to set aside a contract entered into in June, 1839, and also to restrain the Commissioners from making any award founded on the or in any way affecting a piece of Woodland called Dunley Gorse. In the second appeal, Mr. Neeld sought to restrain the Duke of Beaufort from prose cuting an action of trespass and ejectment, which he had brought, and by which he asserted a title to the land in ques tion. The proposition for exchanging Dunley Gorse for other lands with Mr. Neeld, was the subject of communica - tion as early as December 1838, and in January 1839, Mr. Taylor, the Commissioner, was informed that the Duke of Beaufort would give up Dunlay Gorse for other lands, and ultimately:a:paper was sent to London for the Duke's signature, by his agent, Mr. Wedge, by which the Duke consented to the exchange with the approbation of the Commissioner. The signature of the Duke was obtained by Messrs. Watkins and Hooper on the Ist of June, and the paper was sent to the Commissioner. Mr. Neeld having signed a similar consent, the Commissioner alloted Dunley Gorse to Mr. Neeld in exchange for the lands of his, which were allotted to the Duke. Mr. Neeld took possession of the lands allotted to him ; and according to the statement of Mr. Wedge, he was privy to the exchanges and the lands allotted to the Duke, and they were . taken possession of by his Grace's tenants. Mr. Wedge also stated that Mr. Neeld had been ever since in possession, and that he had made many alterations in• the land, and among others he bad planted it with the concurrence of Mr. Wedge, who had given him leave to cut the underwood on Dunley Gorse before it had been valued, to facilitate the carrying on of his proposed improvements. In this state matters con tinued till January, 1840, when notice was given that the Duke disputed the right of Mr. Neeld to the land allotted to him, notwithstanding it was clear that everything was settled with the entire concurrence of Mr. Wedge, the Duke's agent. On the part of the Duke, it was asserted that he prohibited Mr. Wedge from consenting to give up Bunley Gorse, for any other land except woodland. Mr. Wedge stated that he communicated this to Mr. Taylor, die ContinissiOner, but that gentleman positively denied having received any such communication. There was no doubt that the Duke supposed he had sufficiently ex pressed his intention to Mr. Wedge, but it was impossi ble to explain that gentleman's conduct by the supposi tion that he so understood the Duke's instructions, be cause if he did so understand them he hid acted towards his employer in direct violation of them, and to those with whom he was dealing his conduct was most unjusti fiable, if he supposed what be was consenting to on the part of the Duke, might afterwards be set aside on the ground of his want of authority. If such things were to be allowed—if parties after the interest of others had been effected by their acts were allowed to repudiate them, there would be no security for the transactions of -mankind, and the question then would be, whether th'e.party who reposed such unde served confidence in his agent, or the innocent party with whom the agent lad been acting under the autho rity so obtained, should suffer from the misconduct of the agent. One who puts into the hands of another the means of committing a fraud, though without any evil intention himself, would in general find himself bound by, the - act done. Upon the bill, filed by the Duke, the question was whether, under the circumstances, he had shown .any equity for the interference of the Court against parties who had acquired, or might acquire, rights under the Act of the Commissioners, so as to justify the Courts in restraining future proceedings under that Act, so far as it related to the exchange of old enclosures, and in Mr. Neeld's suit the question was, whether the Duke ought to be permitted by the proceedings at law to undo what had taken place under the authority of his own written instructions, and with the con sent and concurrence of his agent. His Lord ship was clearly of opinion the Duke had not shown any case for the interposition of the Court, and that he had no equity to interfere with the posses sion which had been given in exchange for other land. On these grounds, therefore, his Lordship was of opinion that the order of the Vice-Chancellor, restraining the commissioners from proceeding, and the order also dis solving the common• injunction obtained by Mr. Neeld in his suit, must be discharged, with costs. DUNCAN V. Si`CALMONT-JUDGMENT. The Liam) CHANCELLOR also gave judgment in this case, ordering the injunction to issue upon security being given before the Master. SHERIFF'S COURT, Aug. 3.] MARCH V. BIRCH. This was an action brought to recover the sum of 11/. for money lent, to which the defendant pleaded not in debted. Mr. Lloyd appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Pass more for the defendant. The plaintiff is a fancy article dealer, residing in Chancery-lane, and the defendant is a salesman, carrying on business in Newgate•market. Having to execute an order for some hams, the defendant applied to the plaintiff to lend him 15/., which he did, but took no acknowledgment. Some time afterwards the de fendant paid the plaintiff 4/. on account, and the present action was brought to recover the balance. Two letters were put in by the plaintiff from the defendant, referring to transactions of money between the parties, but no amount was stated. A witness was called on the part of the plaintiff; who stated that he was requested to call on the defendant for 11/., and the defendant then said that he only owed the. plaintiff 1/., as he had sent him 101. since the former payment of 41., the defendant adding that the plaintiff could not recover it even if he did owe tlim 11/., as there was no written acknowledgment. The Learned UNDER SHERIFF having summed up the evidence the Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff for 11/ Mr. Pessmortg said he should move for a new trial on the ground of verdict against evidence. MEEK V. DUNK,--ASHEWOOD V. FITZGERALD,-DOBELL V. STEWART. These were severally undefended actions of debt, in each of which verdicts passed for the plaintiff. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. OXFORD ClRCUlT—Hereford, July 31. The Special Jury case " Dunn v. Wariters," which was fixed for this morning, has been referred, and Mr. Justice Coleridge is now trying a road indictment, which is the last case on the civil side. The criminal business was finished yesterday. Their Lordships will proceed to Monmouth when the road indictment has been tried, and will open the Commission there. WESTERN ClRCUlT—Chester, July 30. CROWN COURT.—(Before M r . J us ti ce E asKINE .) James Hampton and Thomas Hampton, two remarka bly strong, fine-looking young men, twins, of the age of 28 years, were indicted for feloniously breaking into the counting-house of Messrs. Skerratt and Romer, and stealing therefrom a quantity of bank notes and money, amounting to upwards of 1,1001. There were counts in the indictment also charging the prisoners with a larceny. The Attorney-General of the Palatine (Mr. Hill) and Dr. Brown appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Yardley for the prisoners. The facts of the case were briefly these :—The prose cutors, Messrs. Skerratt and Romer, are solicitors, re siding at Sandbach, in this county. On the 22d of January last, the prosecutors placed a large sum of money in an iron safe in theif counting-house, contrary to their usual custom. During the night the place was broken open and robbed. An entry had been effected through one of the windows,. the iron safe forced, and between 50 and 60 51. notes of the Imperial Bank of Manchester, 3,100/. Bank of England notes, 750/. notes of the same bank, 6 bank post bills for 50/. each, and a number of other notes, the amount of which was not stated. From the foot-marks in the snow about the place of rob bery, it appeared that only two persons had been engaged in the robbery. The prisoners were apprehended a few days afterwards, and taken to a lock-up in Middlewhich, from which they contrived 'during the night to escape, and were not again taken until the 20th of April, in Sheffield. On the prisoners some sovereigns and silver were found, but not notes. In James Hampton's house was found a chisel, which, on being compared with the marks on the counting-house dooi., exactly corresponded. There was also a pair of shoes claimed by him which corresponded with the footmarks near the counting-house. It was also proved that on the day after the robbery the prisoners paid away two Imperial Banknotes fora shawl and some cotton cord, purchased by a Mrs. Edwards, at a place called Innstile, nine miles from Sandbach. At a public house about three miles from Innstile, the priso ners showed other Imperial notes and asked for change, but did not succeed in obtaining change. One of the notes paid to Mrs. Edwards, endorsed by Mr. John Pedley, was produced and identified. The examination of the prisoners before the Magistrates were proved. James Hampton said his brother knew nothing about the robbery ; that he gave the notes to him, and it was time enough to say where the money was. The other prisoner admitted having purchased the cord from Mrs. Edwards, but said his brother gave him the note which he paid there. The Imperial Bank, as is well known, has suspended p?ymwi long ago, and those notes h a d b een i n t h e p osse ssion athe prosecutors a considerable tim e . _ _ _ Mr. Yardley. took several objections to the indictment, which were overruled by the ,Learned Judge, and, after a lengthened investigation, The prisoners were found Guilty. They were again indicted for a common larceny, for having in their possession property which had been stolen from the house of Mr. Ralph Young, who resides in Staffordshire. On this indictment they were also found Guilty. The Learned JUDGE then sentenced them to seven years' transportation each for each offence. SATURDAY, JULY 31. The Lord Chief Baron this morning left the city, and consequently only one Court was open to-day. THE ' HAMPTONS. The two Haniptons, tried yesterday and sentenced to 14 years' transportation, were this morning placed at the bar, and the Learned Judge Informed them that he should recall th e sentence he had passe d on th em f or t h e robbery of Me ssrs. Sk erratt an d R omer 's counting-hous e , in consequence of his doubt as to the applicability of the eviden ce t o the first count o f t h e i n di c t men t, i n which the note produced and identified was called a bank note. This was one of the points raised yesterday by Mr. Yardley. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL then, at the instance of his Lordship, entered a noli prosequi to that count, and a verdict of Guilty on the larceny counts was recorded. The,, , LeaMed JUDGE then sentenced them to seven years'' transportation for each offence. Considerable interest was excited by the trial fixed for this morning of Thomas Brooks for the murder of Thomas Henshall, in consequence of the horrible manner in which the deed was perpetrated, and the fact that the widow of Henshall, who has been gradually sinking since:the occurrence, having within the last few days fallen a victim to a broken heart, leaving a family of seven small children unprovided for. The Court was therefore crowded to excess. The prisoner, who is a man of small property, was placed at the bar, and in a firm voice pleaded " Not Guilty" to the indictment. He is a rather good-looking man, thirty years of age; of sharp featuras, a keen pene trating eye, and certainly nothing ferocious in his ap pearance. His behaviour at the bar during the whole of the day was that of an anxious spectator, if we except a short period when the Judge was remarking on those circumstances of the case which bore most strongly against him, and during the time the Jury were con sidering their verdict, when there was a manifest rest lessness of mind which caused the perspiration to bedew his face considerably. The Attorney-General, Mr. Trafford, and Mr. Town send appeared for the prosecution, and Messrs. Jervis and Welsby for the defence. The prisoner was indicted by the name of Thomas Brooks, for the wilful murder of Thomas Henshall, on the 10th of September last, at Huxley. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL having stated the case to the Jury, evidence was adduced to substantiate the charge, from which it appeared that the deceased was in the employment of Mr. Garstang, who had taken the shooting over the estates of Mr. Wilbraham, of Rode hall, as a watcher of game. On the 10th of September, 1840, he had been attending on Mr. Garstang and a friend, who were engaged shooting in the adjoining parish, Stapleford. About half-past seven o'clock the deceased left Mr. Garstang and his friend at Tarvin, perfectly sober, having previously been paid 2/. Bs. by that gentleman. AbOut half-past eight o'clock, he was seen on his way home, and about two miles from his re sidence. He was not again seen alive • but next morn ing, about seven o'clock, he was found in a gap in a hedge, separating two fields, about 300 yards from his own house. He was lying on his left side quite dead and cold, and his right hand trousers' pocket, in which it was supposed the money he had received from Mr. Garstang had been deposited, was turned inside out, and only a few pence were found on him. The next piece of evi dence offered on behalf of the prosecution was the depo sition of Sarah Henshall, the widow of the deceased. It was proved by Mr. Domville, clerk to the Magistrates, that he took this deposition, but in cross-examination he admitted having copied nearly the whole of it from a pa per furnished to him as a deposition taken before the Co roner, but it was not authenticated as such. After being asked about a dog and the report of a gun, respecting which she made a statement, she was asked if the con tents of the paper were true,. and swore to it in the pre sence of a Magistrate and the prisoner, who declined ask ing her any question. This deposition, it was argued by the Counsel for the prisoner, could not be evidence against him, inasmuch as it was nothing more than an affidavit ; that it was not her own voluntary statement at all, but the portion of it to which her attention had been directed might be con sidered a leading question of the most vicious description, and therefore it would be extremely dangerous to admit such evidence. The Learned JUDGE, after hearing the counsel for the prosecution on the subject, decided that the deposition could not be received as evidence, inasmuch as it was not the result of any examination at all, but merely a paper read over to her, and adopted by her on oath. Mr. Domville then proceeded to state, in cross-exami nation by Mr. JERVIS, that the prisoner was taken into custody on the 11th of September, but discharged after the inquest, on the 12th ; that he then returned home, and continued to follow his usual avocation until Novem ber, when he was again apprehended, In the meantime a reward of 2001. had been offered for the discovery of the murderer, and the assistance of Inspector Holman and Mr. Hill, superintendent of the Chester police, had been obtained. The witness also stated that the Magis trates refused admission to the legal adviser of the pri soner to the examination, until an order was sent down from the Home-office en this subject. _ Mr. B. Earl, a surgeon, residing at Tarvin, deposed to making a post mortem examination of the body. He found on the left side a gun-shot wound, about three inches in•circumferencc, and from five to six inches deep. The witness extracted a quantity of shot from the peri cardium, the heart having been completely perforated by the charge, part of which he then produced, and another portion he gave to Mr. Hill. Ann Dutton proved, that on the 10th of September she dined and took tea at the house of the prisoner, in company with his mother. In the evening the latter person, herself, and the prisoner left his house together. The prisoner had a gun in his hand. When he had pro ceeded a short distance on the road he left them. Mary . Heaton, who resides at Huxley, stated, that on the evening of the murder, as she was milking, she ob served a person cross the field at a distance, dressed in light clothes. The witness said she thought it was the prisoner, but would not swear it was. Mr. Hill deposed to showing the short in his possession to Mr. Low, a gunsmith. The witness then produced them. John Ellson, shoemaker, stated that on the night of the murder he was at a place called Cookson's-bridge, about nine o'clock, when he heard the report of a gun from towards where the body was found. W. Stewardson took the prisoner into custody on the evening of the 11th of September, at his own house. On going there he found the prisoner in bed. He got up, and witness told him his errand, on which the prisoner said, "Is he dead ?" Witness said, " Yes ; don't you know ?" to which the prisoner replied that ho had never heard of it before. Witness was accompanied by Ed ward Jones, another constable. The house was searched and two guns found loaded, one of which was a double barrelled gun and the other single. The latter, the pri soner said, belonged to Samuel Inshingham. The wit ness said he drew the charges, and produced the shot. Two witnesses, and the examination of the prisoner before the Magistrates, was the next evidence adduced to show that the prisoner had been told of the murder previous to the night of his apprehension, and that he had made contradictory statements respecting the mur der. Mr. W. Low, gunsmith, examined the shot found in the body, and also in the guns. They were of six different sizes, Nos. 3, 4, 5,6, 7,8, and the relative pro portions were similar, but the shot found in the body of the deceased, and that in the gun said to belong to Inshingham more nearly corresponded. Evidence was next adduced to prove observations made by the prisoner previous to the murder, to the effect that Ilenshall was a spiteful man, and it would not surprise him if he were shot ; and also that he had said, after the murder, that as he (the deceased) was shot, he (the prisoner) would as lief he was shot as not. Mr: JEavis addressed the jury in behalf of the pri soner fug' upwards of two hours, contending that the cir cumstance' were not of that clear and explicit nature which would warrant them in convicting the prisoner. The Learned JUDGE very minutyly summed up the evidence, and The Jury, after a consultation of 20 minutes, pro nounced a verdict of Not Guilty. The trial lasted from nine in the morning until a quarter to 8 in the evening. MIDLAND CIRCUIT—Derby, July 30. (Before Mr. Baron PARKE and a pecini Jury.) WOOD V. MOREWOOD. This cause was commenced at nine o'clock yesterday morning, and was not concluded until after eight o'clock this evening. The issues were upon the defendant, whose case lasted the whole of yesterday, , and the plain tiff's case was opened at the sitting of the Court at nine o'clock this morning. Sir William Follett, specially retained, assisted by Mr. Clarke, Mr. Whitehurst, and Mr. Daniel, conducted the defendant's case ; Mr. Hill, Queen's counsel, Mr. Hild yard and Mr. Waddington were counsel for the plaintiff. This was an action on the case to recover compensa tion in damages for an injury alleged to have been com mitted by the defendant in having wrongfully dug and carried away, during the last eight or nine years, a large quantity of coal from under a close in the occupation of a person named Brown, situate at Alfreton, in this county, of which the plaintiff claimed the reversionary interest as the owner in fee. The declaration also com prised a count in trover for the recovery of the value of the coal taken and converted by the defendant to his use. The plaintiff sought to recover a sum exceeding 20,0001. - - Sir - W. FOLLETT, , for the defendant, contended that down to the time of the notice of October, 1837, the working of the mine was permissive, and that the amount of the fair valuation at that time per acre for the privi lege of working the shaft under this close (1981.) should be the measure of damages, and not the sum of 2591. per acre, which had been proved to 'have been the amount of produce to the defendant, the difference between which latter sum and the sum of 1981. per acre consisted in the fair profit, and return of outlay, upon the de fendant's operations. The Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Dam ages 2,362/. 10s., i. e., estimated at the rate of 2101. per acre. LEICESTER, SATURDAY, JULY 31. The Commission was opened here at two o'clock yes terday, by Mr. Baron Gurney, who immediately attended divine service, and afterwards disposed, in the space of less than an hour, of the business of the borough, which consisted of a few trifling larcenies. Mr. Baron GURNEY took his seat at ten this morning on the civil side of the Court. Eight causes only were entered for trial • of these one is a spec i a l j ury, w hi c h is appointed for Monday morning, six were undefended or referred, and the remaining involved a question of a right of way of the most uninteresting character possible. Mr. Baron PARKE presided at the Crown Court. The calendar included the names of 42 prisoners, of whom many are charged with very heinous offences, but the cases tried to-day were of an ordinary nature, and devoid of interest to the general reader. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. A young man, named William Smith alias Tom Priest, was brought up, charged with having broken into, and robbed, the auction-rooms of Mr. Johnson, who is exten sively engaged in the disposal of unredeemed articles, in Gracechurch-street, of an immense quantity of plate, watches, diamond rings, &c. One of the City police, in going his rounds in Grace church-street, observed something up a court in that vi cinity which excited his suspicion ; he went to the spot, when, upon looking about, he saw two bags near a truck, which stood against the wall, and the prisoner curled up in a corner, evidently for the purpose of concealing himself. Witness asked him whether he knew any thing of the bags ? to which he replied in the negative ; and witness then proceeded to search him, and was surprised at finding that hi s p oc kets were stuffed with silver spoons, watches, and other valuable property. Upon being con veyed to the station-house, the prisoner stated that this property belonged' to the sale-rooms. Cope, porter to Mr. Johnson, the proprietor of the auction-rooms, stated that he resided on the nremises, and that, upon going to bed, he left all right in the house. At a quarter to four o'clock he wus rung up by the policeman, and informed that the premises had been robbed. Upon looking at the property found upon the prisoner, and in the two bags, he perceived the tickets to each lot to be those which he had himself written and attached. They were pawnbrokers' pledges which were advertised to be sold that day. He supposed the goods taken might be worth 7001. . The LORD MAYOR asked how the thief, or thieves, could have got into the premises ? The witness said that the thieves, for he believed there were more than one, must have got up Barnes's-court, and got over a wall by means.of the truck which stood against it, and then walked upon a ledge, and entered by the skylight, which the inmates did not think of fastening, as its height seemed to give it such security. In the wareroom from which the property was taken, were found a dark lantern, two small crowbars, and a rope. . . Mr. Johnson stated that the property now missing was unimportant. . . The Loan MA.von—Does the prisoner wish to say any thing ? Prisoner—Why, no, my Lord, I've nothing to say. The LORD MAYOR—Your name in my list is William Smith. I suppose that is not your own name ? Pri soner—No, my Lord, it would only be deceiving you to sav it was. My name is Thomas Priest. The turnkey of the Compter said that the prisoner was well known as a thief, and had been but a short time ago tried at the Old Bailey. The prisoner was committed for trial. Sir PETER LAURIE, who sat in the latter part of the day took occasion on some case of no public importance, to state that he felt great gratification in being able to assure the public, from the chair in which he sat, that the Penitentiary system, which had been so loudly repro bated by men of humanity, was about to be completely altered. He had heard from unquestionable authority that after the long trial which had been given to the solitary and maddening process in that place of punish ment, it had at length been discovered that the cruel rigours of the place were not productive of the good an ticipated ;. that the silent and solitary system, instead of causing an improvement of morals, deprived some of the wretched delinquents, sentenced to pine within its walls, of the use of their reason altogether ; and that the Go vernment was at length awakened to the necessity of prison reform, as regarded the horrible place of punish ment called the Penitentiary. Mr. HUMPHRIES, the Solicitor, stated that Sir Peter Laurie would remember having presented a petition from him to the Court of Aldermen on the subject some time ago. Whatever sentences might have been passed upon unfortunate wretches who violated the laws of the coun try, it was never intended by those who made the laws or who adjudicated that prisoners should be subjected to punishment calculated to drive them- mad. -He under stood that :the number of those who lost their senses in consequence of the solitary and silent system was on the increase. Sir PETER LAURIE declared that three men and three women had completely lost their reason last year, and the same number of men and women had lost their rea son within the last six months. He had complained and felt greatly upon the subject. Upon every occasion he had sought opportunities of exposing the iniquity of the infliction, and now he must say that he had his reward in the departure from the system. Mr. nobler, jun., who was also present when Sir Peter Laurie mentioned the fact of the intended altera tion, said he apprehended that the model prison which the Government were building would be the means of es tablishing a more rigorous series of punishments than the Penitentiary was capable of inflicting. The plan upon which that place of punishment was being con structed was such as to encourage every fear that great powers would be given to those who superintended the inmates. Sir PETER LAURIE said he had no apprehension of the kind. At all events one serious evil was about to dis appear, and he really did not think it possible that it was to be substituted by anything half so bad. ACCIDENT RELIEF SOCIETY. Yesterday the friends of this Society, which was esta blished for the purpose of giving immediate relief to the families of poor persons who meet with accidents, twenty five thousand of which are said to occur annually in the metropolis, met at the London Tavern, Mr. J. Labou chere in the chair. Mr. LABOUCHERE having stated the object of the In stitution, and that it had a strong claim upon the policy as well as the humanity of the country, called upon the public to aid their funds. The Society had, he said, pre vented numbers of poor and afflicted families from going into the workhouse and submitting to the most painful privations. The benefits which it conferred extended to the patients who lay in the hospitals, by setting their minds at ease (a great auxiliary to the prescription of the medical attendant) by the conviction that their wives and children received such care and comfort in their una voidable absence.—(Cheers.) • Mr. F. SALMON, the distinguished originator of the Charter-house-square Infirmary for the cure of fistulous diseases, moved that the Report, of which the follow ing is an abstract, should be adopted : The income of this Society is nearly double the amount received last year, and the increase would have been still more but for an impression amongst many that this Society was an auxiliary to the hospitals, and that these establishments being so numerous and so libe rally supported did not require so much additional assist ance. The relief is given in the following way :—Each member of the Committee is supplied with a printed check book, from which he issues orders to respectable tradesmen for bread and meat, coals and potatoes. In this way during the past year the Committee gave away to many truly deserving families 3,320 lbs of meat, 3,320 loaves of bread,. 1,250 cwt. of coals, 17,500 lbs. of potatoes. . . In all the case 3 in which relief has been given, not one has been known during the past year in which any party relieved by the Committee sold their food for any need less or injurious article. As to the necessity for an In stitution the Committee pointed to the fact that, owing to' the increase of the population, the use of machinery, and other causes, upwards of 30,000 accidents annually occurred in the metropolis. The Committee submitted that the operation of other charities applied to those un used to poverty, rather than otherwise, to keep them from seeking refuge in one of those receptacles of misery where the most important distinctions are lost in one great mass of wretchedness, and where the industrious, the honest, and the virtuous are at once reduced to a level with the idle and the profligate. But the Com mittee had to do with those who would rather work than beg, and they referred with confidence to the plans of the Institution as a guarantee against imposition and misappropriation. A great number of cases, which strongly proved the admirable effects of the Society, being then detailed, the dreadful recital of the accidents, the extensive antl immediate application of relief through the Committee and Secretary of this admirable Institu tion, the gratitude of those who received relief, and the description of the feelings of the patients upon learning that their families were kept from the workhouse, and only waited their cure to be in perfect happiness affected most:of the noble-hearted friends of the Society. The Report was seconded by Mr. Walton, in an able speech, and was agreed to amidst acclamation, each member pledging himself to the most active exertions in forwarding its glorious objects. The Rev. Mr. Price and others also spoke in praise of the Institution Land thanks being voted to the Chairman, the meeting separated. THE MARKETS-YESTERDAY. COLONIAL MARKET.
