Stewart, Bart., and bis trustee, their lordships dismissed the appeal with costs. The appeal of the Attorney- General againstDak iu and others came on to day. The case was fully heard by the Law Lords last session, when the judges requested time to answer the question of their lordships " Whether, upon the facts stated in the special case, a writ of fieri facias can be exe cuted within the Palace of Hampton Court ?" Mr. Baron Cleasby and Mr. Justice Keating were of opinion that Hampton Court Palace was, acccad big to all precedents on the subject, a Royal residence, and therefore that a writ of fieri facias could not issue. Mr. Justice Mellor and Mr. Justice Blackburn were of a different opinion. The Lord Chancellor, on behalf of their lordships, thanked the learned judges for their opinions, stating that they would be printed before their lordships gave judgment. THE DIVORCE COURT. THE MORDAUNT CASE. This case was resumed this morning, when the following evidence was given : Mrs. Cadogan, the wife of the Rev. Mr. Cadogan, vicar of Walton, said she had been on very inti mate terms with Sir Charles and Lady Mordaunt. She remembered Lady Mordaunt's confinement was very unexpected. She had nothing provided: She was under the influence of chloroform. Witness saw her five times during the week, and was with her a short time at the first, but her staying became more extended towards the end of the week. Had several conversations with her.

I —Holloway's Ointment.—Dropsical Swellings.—Whatever may be the remote cause of collec tions of water in the human body, it must be prudent to disperse thorn as soon as possible ; the readiest means of accomplishing this end are supplied by using Holloway's Ointment to increase the activity of the absorbents; when this ointment is well rubbed upon the skin it removes all venous congestion, overcomes all mechanical obstruction to the free return of the blood, and prevents the deposit of serum and water. Holloway's Pills likewise augment the absorbing powers, and in many other ways, through the liver, stomach, and kidneys, increase the curative powers of the unguent, and restrain the disposition to relapse, remarkably common t.) this distressing complaint. t ADVERTISEMENT. 1 —Consumption, and all nervous, bilious, stomach, anl irs: complaints in every stage are only aggravated and accsisrated by drugs of every description, but perfe tip curable by DU BAILEY'S health -restoring Revalenta Arabica Food, as proved by thousands of cases which had been considered hopeless ; such as indigestion (dyspepsia) , cou g h, asthma, consumption,h.bitual constipation, diarrhcea, all gastric , haemorrhoids, liver complaints, flatulency, ner vousness, biliousness, fevers, sore throat, diphther ia, catarrhs, colds, influenza, noises in the head and ears, rheumatism, gout • impurities, nsspasms, asi sacidity,n i u. eruptions, epa3,lapnita.st i palpitation, ,setsesr heartburn,i s e neuralgia,, ven n headache,ir r i pregnancyt irritability, ir debility,t a y t , 8 44 e l e a e , pless cramps,sink ing- f 68 e7 4 : 13 -__T ,h, en -"Rome, .Pope'spmoeiajlulh3l especially h ee j ,s e a g ia t 0.. abandoning d nebiyn health g D a u l l t i o a otf r r hte y hr . fits, bronchitis, scrofula, ti htness of the chest, pains at the pit of the stomach, and between the shoulders, &c We quote a dhimself entirely to Du Barry's Revalenta Arabica Food, excellent, coiiie es Fl. ro Food. . remedies,Fthr.

POLICE IN7ELLAGENCE—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. CLEVER CAPTURE OF A THIEF, AND FORTUNATE RECOVERY OF A VALUABLE . WATCH. -- James Taylor was charged, before ➢lr. Knox, with steal ing from the person of Mr. Charles Wilson, mer chant, of Egremout, Cheshire, staying at Wood's Hotel, Furnival's-inn, a gold watch, of the value of £5O. The prosecutor said that about one that morning he ,was in Denman•street, inquiring his way to Holborn, when he felt a sudden snatch at his watch, which was taken, and on trying to seize the thief he tripped and fell. On getting up he called out " Stop thief," and a constable stopped the prisoner, and brought his watch back, the watch being of the value of £5O, and he could not commend the conduct of the constable throughout too highly. Police-constable Curtis, 30 C R, said that he was standing at the corner of Windmill-street and Denman-street, when he heard cries of " Stop thief" and " Police," and ou looking up the street saw the prisoner running from the prosecutor, there being five or six others of his companions near him. He got iu a doorway, and when the prisoner got within five or six doors from him he jumped out of the doorway, and on going to seize tho priannpr ho threw a watch down the area of No 4, Denman-street, and tried to get away. He de tained the prisoner, and told hina to wait till the gentleman came up ; and on his doing so, the gentleman told him that the prisoner had got his watch. The prisoner said he was not the man. He took the prisoner to the station, and afterwards went back and got the watch, which was still going, from the area. Butcher, a detective, said the prisoner, who was formerly a cabdriver, had been convicted at the ses sions. Mr. Knox, in remanding the prisoner, said that the constable (Curtis) had acted with extraordinary judgment and discretion, and he wished what he said to be reported to higher quarters, as it might probably be of some use to the man. WESTMINSTER. THE HABITUAL CRIMINALS ACT.—Francis Pep piatt, of No. 55, Manor-street, Chelsea, marine store dealer, was charged on a summons for that he, being a dealer in old metals, did unlawfully purchase lead iu a quantity at one time of less weight than 1121b5., to wit, 421b3. of lead. Win. Moore, an inspector of Thames Police, said on the 4th inst. he went to the d •fondant's shop to look for some stolen iron, and found 421bs. of lead under the counter. He asked defendant where le got it, and defendant said he bought it of Mr. Pat cerson, one of the Chelsea surveyors. This turned out to be untrue ; but defendant afterwards said be had bought it of a family. He had not enteral it in a book, as directed by the 24th and 24th Viet., and afterwards disposing of it had not entered the sale in the book, as also preicribed.

Mr. Al nold said t7:e policE had failed to- show that even be had bought the lead, and only had his own admission. They had gone to the house to search for something, and failing in their purpose had scraped up this charge. Looking at the llabi tual Criminals' Act, he was of opinion that the in tention of the. Legislature was more to suppress the indiscriminate buying and selling from strange persons than to punish those who bought in an honest way old metals; for what was a house holder to do with a quantity of metal under the scale allowed by the Act ? lie should dismiss the SULIIIIIOIIB. TIIF3 HUSH LAND BILL. The Irish Land Tenure Bill has been issued. It is entitled, " A Bill to Amend the Law Relating to the Oc cupation and Ownership of Land in Ireland," and consists of 68 clauses and one schedule. It is divided into five parts. The first relates to compensation to tenants ; the 4ccond deals with the sale of land to tenants ; the third treats of advances by, and powers of, the Board of Works; the fourth contains regulations as to legal proceedings and the court at which such proceedings can be taken ; the fifth is devoted to miscellaneous matters, chiefly defini tions and titles. LAW OF COMPENSATION TO TENANTS. The first clause in Part I. legalises the custom of Ulster, providing that when the landlord has purchased • the tenant-right from the tenant, the custom can have no legal force in that holding. Land sub ject to the Ulster custom cannot be made the foundation of a claim under any other provision of the Act. The second clause deals with places not within the province of Ulster where a usage prevails of allowing compensation to the outgoing tenant. In these cases the court—to be described presently—will be empowered to award a sum according to the usage to which the holding is sub ject. But arrears of rent are to be deducted, and so is any damage that may have been done to the property ; if a tenant sublets his holding without the consent of the land lord, neither he nor the person to whom he sublets a por tion can get anything, except in the case of garden ground ..11otted to agricultural labourers; and, thirdly, the holder 3f a lease for thirty-one years—granted after the passing of the Act—can claim no compensation, except for permanent buildings, and unexhausted tillage improve 3:onts. As in the case of the Ulster usage, the landlord may buy up the tenant right, or whatever claim the cus tom may sanction in any other part of the country ; and the land will then cease to be subject to any usage. The following proviso is also added : " Any contract made by a tenant by virtue of which he is deprived of his right to make any claim which he would otherwise be entitled to make under this section shall, so far as the same relates to such claim, be void." Then in the third clause come provisions for compensation where no custom prevails. - Even a tenant at-will may claim something if disturbed in his holding. If his farm is not worth more than £lO a year, he may be awarded a sum not exceeding seven years' rent ; from £lO to £5O a year five years' rent is the maximum ; from £5O to 2100, three years' ; above a hundred, two years'. If lie have made any improvements on the land he may be allowed reasonable compensation, in addition to the award for being disturbed in his holding. But to this clause there are certain exceptions the same as those under Clause 11. Arrears of rent and damage are a set off ; subdivision is a bar ; and a lease of thirty-one years removes all claim to compensation. The fourth clause deals with improvements. Payment for these, it is important to note, is quite distinct from compensation for ejectment. All improvements are to be paid for, with five exceptions : those made twenty years before the passing of the Act, unless in the shape of per manent buildings or reclamations of land ; those forbidden by the landlord in writing—made two years after the pas sing of the Act, or during the unexpired residue o f a lease granted before the Act. Those which the tenant makes by written contract for a valuable consideration ; those in violation of a contract ; and those which the landlord has agreed to make himself, unless he do .not fulfil his pledge within a reasonable time. There are some exceptions, too, to the general claim for improvements of any kind. Thus no tenant under a contract made before the Act, can claim for improvements, if his title be owluded by the contract. No tenant under a lease for n)t fewer than thirty-one years can claim, except for p :rmanent buildings, reclamation of land, or unexhausted tillage, or manures. These leases, however, must be such a- - ; are concluded after the passing of the Act. No tenant, likewise, who gives up his holding•voluntarily can receive anything, if his landlord have given him permission to sell his improvements to the new-comer, and he has not done so. Arrears of rent and damage are to be deducted from all improvements. "Any contract between a landlord and a tenant whereby the tenant is prohibited from making such improvements as may be required for the suitable occupation of his holding and its cultivation in a due course of husbandry, shall be void both at law and in equity, but no improvement shall be deemed to be required for the suitable occupation of . a tenant's holding and its cultivation in a due course of hus bandry, which appears to the court to diminish the gen era l value of the estate of the landlord." All improvements on any holding to which these stipulations apply are presumed to be made by the tenant, unless the contrary can be shewn. The sixth clause deals with payments made by in coming to out-going tenants ' • and the seventh provides for compen sation in respect of crops. Non-payment of rent is made by the eighth clause a legitimate cause for ejectment, and no tenant can claim any payment for being disturbed j. his holding for such a cause, except in certain special cats. Certain lands are exempted from the provisions of the Act. These are : any demesne land, any holding the tenant of which is a hired labourer or hired servant of the landlord, any letting in conacre or for the purposes of agistment or for temporary depasturage : or any holding let and ex pressed in the document by which it is let to be so let for the temporary convenience or to meet a temporary neces sity either of the landlord or tenant, and the letting of which has been determined by reason of the cause having eased which gave rise to the letting. Then comes a description of the proceedings necessary to obtain compensation. The tenant is to make a claim, which the landlord will be deemed to have admitted, un less he serves a notice within a certain period disputing the claim. If he does dispute it, then there will be a case for legal decision. Should it be decided against the land lord, the tenant cannot be turned out of his holding until the whole sum awarded has been paid. The courts which are to award compensation are described in the 18th, 19th, 20th, and 21st clauses. They are two in number—the Civil Bill Court of the county where the matter requiring the cognizance of the court arises ; or the Court of Arbitration constituted by this measure. There is to be an appeal from the Civil Bill Court to the Court for Land Cases reserved at Dublin . but there is no app ea l from the Court of Arbitration. The powers of " limited owners " are defined and set forth in the next six clauses. SPORTINC* _~~~_ LIVERPOOL SPRING . MEETING.--MAncll 8. ACCEPTANCES FOR THE LIVERPOOL SPRING CUP.

The second part deals with the interesting question of transferring holdings which the landlord is willing to sell to occupiers; by the intervention and with the assistance of the Irish Board of Works. Upon an agreement being made between the two parties, either of them may apply to the Commissioner of Works. But no sale of the kind can be arranged, unless the landlord be the absolute owner of the property—that is, unless he be the owner in fee simple of freehold land, or the possessor of the whole inte rest in the case of leasehold land. The application shall be accompanied by a deposit by the tenant of a sum of not less than one-fourth part of the sum agreed to be paid for the holding, and of such further sum (if any) to be deposited by the landlord by way of security for costs, as the board may require. The Board will make inquiries into the title of the land, the circumstances of the persons concerned, 4c. ' and will then carry the sale into effect. The court will have full power to decide all ques tions relative to these sales of land. Part third makes provision for advances to assist the tenant in making these purchases. " The Board (of Works) may advance to any tenant who has purchased his holding in pursuance of this Act any sum not exceeding three-fourths of the price of such holding, and upon such advance being made the holding shall, upon an order being made by the Civil Bill Court to that effect, be deemed to be charged with an annuity of six pounds ten shillings for every one hundred pounds of such ad vance, and so in proportion for any less sum, such annuity , to be limited in favour of the Board and to be de clared to be repayable in the term of twenty-two pars, commencing from the date of the advance." But no person who gets his land in this way can let or subdivide or sell it, without the consent of the Board, until all the advanced money is repaid. Where an absolute order for the sale of any estate has been made by the Landed Estates Court, and the tenant of any holding forming part of such estate is desirous to purchase ench holding, he may apply to the Board in the prescribed manner to advance any sum not exceeding three-fourths of the amount. The conditions as to the repayment, sub letting &c., are the same in this as in the preceding case. The Landed Estates Court are to give all due facilities for tenants to acquire the property. If the landlord is willing to sell the whole (but not a part) of his estate, and if only four-fifths of the tenants are prepared to buy, the board may advance to other purchasers who are not tenants one-half the purchase-money. The rate and tithe of repayment are the same. The board's advances are are always to be the first charge on the estate. Any tenant who buys with the help of the B oar d may liquidate the whole sum whenever he may be able. Landlords, too, may have money advanced to them on certain conditions. They may have assis tance in paying compensation to their tenants, under the first clauses of the bill. This assistance is to be given on security of the land, and it is to be repaid, like the money lent to the tenants, in twenty-two years, at the rate of £6los. a year for every hundred pounds. On the same terms landlords may have advances to reelaim..waste lands. • • LEGAL PROCEEDINGS. The chief provisions in the fourth part are that notices to quit must bear a stamp of half-a-crown. " A notice to qu.t shall not in the case of a tenant from year to year take effect until after the expiration of a period of not less than a year from the date of the service of the notice such period of a year, in the absence of agreement to the con trary, toterminate on the last gale of the current year." Part five contains nothing of general interest, and the schedule describes the powers of arbitrators. The American poet William Cullen Bryant has just published a translation of the Iliad. NORIVICH.—Mr. Serjeant Ballantine, Mr. Hawkins, Q.C., and other eminent barristers, have been retained in connection with the Norwich bribery trials at the ap proaching Norfolk Assizes. There are six defendants— Mr. Edward Stracey, son of Sir H. Stracey, Mr. Hardi ment, Mr. Hulme, Mr. Banfather, a publi c an, Mr. Free stone, a baker, and Mr. Stanley, a solicitor. The last two, however, are only charged with bribery at the Norwich municipal election. LONG SPEECIIES.—The London correspondent of the Manchester' Courier found time whilst at the House of Commons on the night of Mr. Gladstone's speech on the Irish Land Bill, to notice some points not e xac tly con nected with land tenure, but doubtless important in their little way. Among other things, he says :—" I noticed that he has changed the mucilage with which he used to moisten his throat during these long speeches. What he administers to himself now is of a much thicker appearance, something of the hue and consistency of strong li nsee d grueL And instead of being carried in a. neat little silver topped phial, he brought down last night a sq ua t vulgar looking bottle with a wooden cork, something like a common gum bottle, what in one's " curly days" one used 0.123 2 Y bear's_ grea4o 2LALQWIIgicr§ A4444141' in.".

It encourages me to establish liberty. I have again and again to struggle against those who are impatient to advance and those who are reluctant to move, and if public opinion does not assist us, one or other will be victorious, and liberty will be again lost. If those who accuse us of ambition were only to pass a few hours in the Ministry, they would be convinced thatpoweris abeavy burthen. We shall repress dis orders without adopting a reactionary policy, and persevere in the path of Liberalism. Should we succeed, we shall then carry on that which Mira beau and Benjamin Constant had not the good for tune to accomplish. TILE FRENCH FUNDS.
