SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS FROXI THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. GLOBE.—Sir Robert Peel's refusal to disclose his intentions as to the policy be intends to pursue on the meeting of Parliament, was praised by the Times as the very perfection of statesmanship. He " did not want to have Conservative measures talked about, but to have them carried," was the justification urged by our Con temporary in behalf of the expectant Premier's studious concealment of his contemplated proceedings. The tables are now .turned. Sir Robert Peel's matchless wisdom is suddenly converted into consummate folly ; and the boasted strength of the party derived from its numbers and its unity, is now in danger of disunion, destruc tion, and defeat ! The occasion of this .sudden change, from the, lo triumphe to lachrymose complainings and predictions, is found in the arrangement entered into by Sir Robert Peel, as the leader of the Tories, by which the tight Hon. C. Shaw Lefevre is to experience no opposition to his re-election as Speaker of the new Par liament. This, the only intimation which Sir Robert Peel has deigned to make as to his future intentions, has spoiled the hopes of the cormorants,' who were look ing for a return of the good old times ; when, regardless of expense to the public, pensions were bestowed on men in every 'respect tit for service, in order that their posts might be conferred on others, less qualified, but whose am bition must be gratified, or their cupidity satisfied by the exchange. Takin g it forgranted that the old regime of Tory ism was to be' the governing principle of the proximate Government, the Times was magniloquent on the Speaker ship. If ever an intention to depart from the " good old rule " was contemplated in any quarter,. the Thun. derer haying uttered his voice, and announced the necessity of displacing Mr. S. Lefevre, Sir Robert Peel must of course succumb to an authority so commanding ; especially as the Standard had declared—doubtless upon competent authority—that " the re-eleetion of Mr. Shaw Lefevre was never for an instant thoi . ght of by the Conservatives, who are quite aware that any such step would be taken as a proof of weakness and disunion of their party !" With one ex ception, the whole Conservative Press tither ridiculed the idea as improbable, or denounced it as mischievous. The Times, regarding the removal of Mr. S. Lefevre as a settled thing, strenuously urged its necessity, that it might claim the credit of having effected it. Sir Robert - Peel has confounded the oracles : though he has not stricken them dumb, he has again changed their lauda tions of himself into reproaches, and has set them at loggerheads among themselves. COURIER.—Our friend of the Herald was yesterday rather triumphantly jocose at our expense in the matter of the Speaker of the new House of Commons, that is to be. Our readers will remember that we introduced them some days . since to an official corps spic-and-span new from the laboratory of our respected Contemporary, on .which occasion we took leave to object to some of the agencies employed in the compound, or rather, perhaps, we ought to say in strictness, to the proportions in which each were made to enter, into the composition of the whole. Having our reasonable misgivings respecting the veritable character of this prescribed officiality in some of its parts, we did not hesitate to signalise our objections ; and amongt others, we intimated very strong suspicions. that the Speakership of the new House of Commons would not be disposed of and continued in the person of Mr. Shaw Lefevre. We gave our rea sons moreover on subsequent occasions why such a nomination would be, not distasteful only, but disad vantageous to the Members who constitute the majority ' of the Honse about to assemble • and whilst rendering justice in courteous, and, we hope, unexceptionable terms; to the past demeanour and services of the gen tleman in question, we did not hesitate ,to intimate our doubts whether' he could safely be entrusted with the absolute authOrity now vested in the chair for nomi nating the first and virtually all other Committees for the trial of diSputed elections. Our friend of the Herald appeared subsequently to be infecte d with some suspi cions about ' the authenticity of his own statement, the responsibtfity. of which was then adroitly disclaimed and discharged ppoii . the head of some respectable and un known (that is unpublished) Correspondent. Now, how ever, that one of the prognostications hazarded has turned out a prophecy fulfilled, our Contemporary exultingly appropriates all the honours, if not of second sightedness, - at least of superior penetration, to himself, and leaves the original discoverer with almost as little scruple in the Lack grOund as Americus Vespusius when he made free to give his name to a world whose existence was first proclaimed by Columbus. MONEY MARi,<-ET and CITY NEWS FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. TIMES.—The half-yearly meeting of the London and County Bank, which took place 1:"2-cray, turned out to be (as indeed the Chairman observed) a much more quiet affair than was expected, since, considering the myste rious disappearance of Mr. Dighton, the manager, which was formerly mentioned, and the rumours that have spread respecting losses sustained by this bank through the failure of Messrs. Coils, Thompson, and Co., a great deal of discussion was anticipated. Not a question re specting the rumoured loss was put at the meeting, the whole proceedings at which were perfectly tranquil. The Directors took upon themselves the responsibility of ex plaining the absence of Mr. Dighton, as far as it con cerned the bank, and this was also shortly noticed in the Report, which set forth that the bank was doing a steady, prosperous, and increasing business ; that the capital had, from 1838 to the present time, increased from 29,000/. to 80,135/. ; that the balances had increased from 116,0691. to 478,214/. ; and that the number of accounts had been augmented from 1,020 to 3,267. As for Mr. Dighton, the previous state ment that his disappearance had entailed no loss on the bank, and that his integrity was unimpeachable, was confirmed to-day by the Direction, who unanimously concurred in declaring, that although from the first me ment of his disappearance they had entertained no doubt of his honour, they had strictly examined the books and properties of the bank, and had found them just as they had anticipated, perfectly correct. In connexion with the subject of a manager to be hereafter appointed to the bank, it was recommended by a shareholder that no one but a person practically acquainted with banking business should be held eligible, since many Joint-stock Institu tions had adopted the dangerous practice of admitting parties who had no experience whatever; while another shareholder expressed a hope that sufficient security for all responsible officers was taken. A fact transpires in the Report, which is, that the bank has not extended its branches within the last half-year, and the declared divi dend was at the rate of five per cent. per annum. Among the rumours in the City which were afloat yesterday in reference to the meeting was one, that Mr. Dighton had re-appeared, and that it was his intention to come before the shareholders to-day ' • and although the proceedings show that the report was fallacious, still a hope was ex pressed by the Chairman, that after a while the ex manager might be forthcoming. CHRONICLE.—We have been informed that a Com mittee of the Spanish Bondholders will hold a special meeting to-morrow,, which, we conclude, will have for its object the consideration of the plan of conversion of the arrears of eolizons about to be carried into effect by M. Surra y Rull, previous to the publication of the Report which the Committee is about to present to the public. The point alluded to relates to the sales of national domains already effected, and to the lands and other pro perty of the clergy about to be put up for sale. Our advice to the Committee is to accept the terms proposed by the Government for the conversion of the coupons, and insist that the sales of that property be effected with greater publicity ; that Commissioners be appointed by the Government, both here and in Paris, to give information of the time of sale and other circum stances connected with them, and likewise that the pub lic be properly apprised of the cancelment of the bonds or coupons received by the Government in payment. The majority of the bondholders are kept in complete ig norance on this matter, so much connected with their interest. They should watch that the produce of those properties is not misapplied, but entirely devoted to the extinction of their bonds. We are far from supposing that such has been the case ; and we have received information which entirely agrees with that of one of our Contemporaries, that a large sum is due by several of the purchaser..., say about 4,000,0001. sterling, and that partiality and other con siderations have prevented the Government from demand ing the delivery of the amount of bonds due, the cancel ment of which would afford considerable relief, by the withdrawal of this stock from the market. It is, then,' the duty of the Committee to devote their energies to the attainment of this object, which ought to form the principal part of their labour as soon as the terms of conversion of the over-due - coupons are agreed upon.

COURT OF CHANCERY, Aug. 6. DE BIEL V. THOMPSON-JUDGMENT. The LORD CHANCELLOR gave judgment to-day in this case, which came before his Lordship some time since upon appeal. His Lordship ordered the appeal to be dis missed with costs. MOSS V. BALDOCK-JUDGMENT. The LORD CHANCELLOR also gave judgment in this case, reversing the decision of the Vice-Chancellor, and directing a reference to the Master, to inquire what sums had been advanced by Moss for the execution of certain contracts mentioned in the bill. PASSINGII.LX V. SHERBORNE. The LORD CHANCELLOR also gave judgment in this case, dismissing the appeal of the trustees with costs. MARLING V. KIRBY.-JUDGMENT. The LORD CHANCELLOR also gave judgment to-day in this case, the arguments in which were concluded yesterday.. The case came before the Court upon appeal from the decision of his Honcu• the Vice-Chancellor, re fusing to grant an injunction to restrain the defendant from infringing a patent obtained by the plaintiff for making solid-headed pins, his Honour thinking the right of the plaintiff ought to be established at law fi6t His Lordship agreed with the Vice-Chancellor, thinking that an action should be tried for the purpose of esta blishing the right of the plaintiff, before the Court ought to interfere. COURT Ol• BANKRUPTCY, Aug. 6. IN THE MATTER OF THOMAS S. CAVE. The bankrupt, who was described as a merchant, re siding at Walmer, in Kent, appeared in Court on his ad journed examination. The liabilities upon the estate were said to be very large, but their am3unt was not as yet ascertained. The assets were also described as con siderable, the bankrupt having been the proprietor of the mines in Cornwall knoWn as the Trevithan Downs, the Owen Vean, the Rospeath, the Wheal Fortune, and the Wheal Prosper mines, which had been advertised for sale on the 12th inst., and upon which it appeared in his balance sheet the profit and loss account, including capital and expenses, amounted to 397,7921. Previous to entering upon the public portion of the business under this fiat, Sir C. WILLIAMS said he had to complain of the con duct of certain Learned Counsel, who, through careless ness, or press of business, failed attending according to appointment before him this morning, to argue a point in this case of the greatest public moment. He (Sir C. Williams) attended in Court at half-past ten o'clock to hear the arguments, and he considered that common courtesy alone should have induced their attendance. Mr. Nias, who appeared as solicitor for a number of the creditors, wished to submit to the Learned Commis sioner whether, under all the circumstances of the case, it would not be better to give them a private meeting, as he (Mr.. N.) was desirous of examining the bankrupt, as well as other parties. There were many points con nected with the case which required a deliberate inquiry, which could be only considered properly at a private meeting ; and, therefore, at whatever time it suited the convenience of the Learned Commissioner to adjourn, whether to a week, a fortnight, or a month, all parties would best consult their own interest by postponing the sale of the bankrupt's mining property, and having a private meeting. Mr. Cave said whatever time might be appointed by the Court would satisfy him, as his sole object was to render all the accommodation in his power to every one interested in the fiat. Mr. Nias, one part of those whom he represented, said that so far as the proceedings had at present gone, he felt bound to express his approbation, and also to state that the course now proposed would be a benefit to Mr. Cave himself: After some further conversation between the Learned Commissioner and the solicitor, it wai ultimately deter mined to fix the day of adjournment on Monday, the Ist of November next. SURREY SESSIONS. (Before Mr. HEDGER and a Bench of Magistrates.) George Wix was indicted for stealing six ducks, the property of T. I). Dann, at Nutfield. It appeared that a constable at Bletchingly had seen the prisoner on the 27th of July, at about eleven o'clock, passing through Bletchingly under suspicious circum stances ; had stopped and searched him, and found six dead ducks in his possession, which proved to have been stolen from the prosecutor. The prisoner said he had found them. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty, and he was sen tenced to six months' imprisonment, with hard labour. In the abovescase one of the witnesses (the constable o Bletchingly) wa4'severely reprimanded by the Court for chattering with the Jury while they were deliberating on their verdict. John Morgan was indicted for stealing from the person of [Patrick Murray a purse, twenty-six sovereings, and twenty-four half-crowns. The prosecutor and the prisoner were brothers-in-law, and the prosecutor had been left penniless in consequence of the robbery. The prisoner had escaped, but wrote a letter to his sister cautioning her as to what she stated about him, and, in`fact, admitting the robbery. This letter fell into the hands of the prosecutor, and the pri soner was apprehended. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty, and he was sen tenced to two years' imprisonment with hard labour. George Young was indicted for stealing a jacket, a pair of trowsers, and other articles of wearing apparel, the property of William Prior, of Shirley. It appears that the prosecutor is a labouring man re siding at Shirley; that himself and his wife left home to go to work at six o'clock on the morning of the 26th of July, and Prior locked the door and took the key in his pocket. On his return in the evening he found the win dows of his house broken, and on examining his box the property in question was missing. A pawnbroker at Croydon produced the property, which was identified by the prosecutor ; and the pawn-, broker's assistant, who knew the prisoner well, identified him as person who had pawned it. The Jury found the prisoler guilty, and he was sen tenced to six months' imprisonment with hard labour. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET. John Thomas, a tall able-bodied man, was placed be. fore Mr. TWYFORD, charged with stealing five half-quar. tern loaves. Hugh Mackay stated that he was servant to Mr. Mar shall, of Hungerford-market, and was out yesterday delivering bread. Having to call at Charing-cross, he left his barrow in the street, and while he was absent the prisoner was seen to go to the barrow and take out the loaves in question. As soon as he returned the pri soner was pointed out to him, and the witness gave him into custody. The prisoner said, in his defence, that he was com pelled by want to commit the offence, but that it was the first time he had ever been placed before a Magistrate. Mr. TWYFORD asked if the prisoner was known, and several officers in Court stepped forward and stated that the pthoner had been before committed for a similar offence. The prisoner still denied that he had ever been before a Magistrate on any charge, but _ _ Mr. TWYFORD said he could not believe that a strong and able-bodied man, like the prisoner, would be com pelled by necessity to commit such an offence ; and he was confirmed in his belief by what the officers had stated. He should, therefore, commit him for trial. GREENWICH POLICE. On Thursday two gentlemen, trustees to Union Chapel, Greenwich, applied to Mr. Grove for advice under the following circumstances : The lipplicantsstated e that at a meeting of the trustees, held some time since, it was determined that the services of certain musical gentlemen who had officiated in the orchestra of the chapel should be dispensed with, and notice of such resolution was forwarded to each. One gentleman, however, in opposition to such resolution, and agr.inst the expressed wish of the congregation, persisted in intruding himself into the orchestra and playing a flute. Two letters had been forwarded to him requesting him to desist from such annoyance, hut to no purpose, for as regular as the Sunday came there were the gentleman and the flute. Mr. GROVE said it was a strange case ; he believed, however, that the trustees possessed the same power as a clergyman, who could prevent any person from singing in his church. It would be better to give the intruder a formal notice signed by all the trustees, also to place one of the servants of the . chapel at the door of the orchestra, to prevent the gentleman from entering, and if he then persisted or made any disturbance, to give him into cus tody. The applicants thanked the Magistrate for his advice, which they declared they would act upon, and left the Court. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HOME. CIRCUIT—Lewes, August 6. CROWN COURT. Robert Taylor, 20, John Owen, 25, and William John son, 27, labourers, were indicted for having, in the parish of Cuckfield, feloniously attempted to suffocate Henry Hilton, u police constable, with intent to commit the crime of murder. Mr. Cobbett conducted the prosecution ; Mr. Creasy appeared for the prisoner Taylor. Henry Milton deposed that he was a constable in the employ of the Brighton Railway Company. On the 4th of May he was called into a beer-shop, known by the sign of the Hit or Miss, at Hayward's Heath, about a quarter before ten at night, and the landlord requested him to assist in clearing the house, and told him that he had a " rough lot " inside. On going into tne house he saw the three prisoners and five or six others, and he asked them civilly to leave the house, but they all refused to do so, and Taylor swore he would not go out for him or any one else. Kenward, the landlord, told them they must go out, and witness said if they did not go by fair means they must by foul, and witness laid hold of Johnson and put him outside the door, and Kenward took hold of Taylor, who resisted, and witness then caught hold of Taylor and put him outside, and at the same moment Johnson struck him on the face, and lie drew his trun eneon and attempted to take him into custody, but he ran back, and as witness was following him, the other men seiz e d hi m, and threw him into a hole o f so il . The hole was about two or three feet broad and about four feet deep. They put him in with his head down wards, and his head went completely under the soil, and they kept him there for a minute or so, and then dowsed" hi s h ead up and down, and at the same time he was hit and ki c k e d i n a ll parts of h i s b o d y, an d he received two kicks on the back of his head. lie called out " murder" as well as he could, being nearly strangled, and th ey sa i d " kill the - smother him." and they then sho ve d hi s head under ' again, and with their hands forced some of the soil into his mouth. A person came up and struck the prisoners with a poker, and he was released. li e t h en saw Owen and Taylor close they were fighting with th e woman , Weaver, come to hi s ass i stance. Taylor and b y I him, hadand Owen soon afterwards ra n away, and witness, whose bead was bleeding very much at th e - ti me , pursue d them, f and he . : took Taylor, and Kenward secured Owen. In consequence of the injury he received. lie was unable to do his duty for a fortnight, and he was attended b y surgeon for three weeks. ' Richard Kenward, the landlord of the beer-shop, cor roborated the testimony given by the constable. He also proved that upon his asking the people to leave the house, Johnson said " he would see him and all the po licemen d—d before he would go out." He also was knocked down and kicked by the prisoners and their companions, and he saw them beating and kicking the prosecutor, and he also saw Owen straddling across him in the ditbh, and he heard him say, " I'll kill the —." Cross-examined—Could not say whether Taylor was knocked down with a poker, but witness knocked him down with a stick after he, himself, had been struck to the ground by a brickbat. Did not hear Taylor cry out " Murder," but he heard him call out to the others to murder the policeman. Was certain it was the voice of Taylor he heard cry murder, although he had only seen him for two hours. By the COURT—Is sure the prisoners were all present and took part in the affray.. Lydia Weaver, servant at the beer-shop, gave similar testimony. She also proved that the prisoners were pre sent at the attack upon the prosecutor, and on her seeing what was going on, and fearing the men would be mur dered, she got the poker and knocked Taylor down with it. The men then said that if she interfered further or attempted to rescue Hilton they would kill her. She also saw the prosecutor lying across the hole, and Owen was standing on him and pouring the soil into his mouth, and Johnson at the same time was holding him by the collar, and Taylor laid hold of him either by his ears or by his hair, and shoved his head under the mud. Cross-examined—She hit Taylor ai hard as she could and knocked him down, and the poker was bent by the force of the blow. She afterwards hit Owen and did the best she could to protect her master and the prosecu tor too. Wright, a policeman, proved that he took Johnsoninto custody, and when he told him what he was charged with he said it was " the beer thut done it." Mr. Byas, a surgeon at Cuckfield, proved that he at tended upon the prosecutor, and that he found a wound on the back of his head an inch-and-a half long, and that he was under his care for three weeks in consequence of the injuries he received. ... This was the case for the prosecution. Chief Justice TrxpAr. intimated his opinion that the evidence did not clearly make out the intent of the prisoners to be to murder the prosecutor, and there fore they could not be convicted of felony. , Mr. Creasy said lie . could.not hope to rescue the pri soners from a conviction for tin assault. The Jury found the prisoners Guilty of assaulting the prosecutor. Chief Justice TINDAL addressed the prisoners, and told them they had been convicted of an assault under very aggravated circumstances, and they might think them selves very fortunate they did not go a little further and . destroy the life of the constable, for if they had their own lives would most certainly have been forfeited. The civil power of the country must be protected, and as a warning to others the sentence was that they be impri soned and kept to hard labour for twelve calendar months. John Peachy, 19, was indicted for feloniously stabbing and wounding Wm. Coxhead, with intent to maim and disfigure him, and in another count the intent was laid to be to do the prosecutor some grievous bodily harm. Mr. Johnson conducted the prosecution, and Mr.Cob bett defended the prisoner. It appeared from the evid ence that th e p rosecu t or was a private in the 14th regiment of Dragoons, and at the time the transaction tools place he was billeted with some others of the troop in the neighbourhood of Chichester ; on the 3d of April, the prisoner and several other men were at the Half Moon public-house, near Chichester, about eleven o'clock at night, and a man named Ether ton, accompanied by a person. named Dunnaway and about five others, were in the house at the time the pri soner came in. The prosecutor went into the house alone about eleven o'clock, dressed in his regimentals and quite sober, and b e j o i ne d th e par t y of Etherton and drank with them, and remained in the house about half an hour, and shortly afterwards the prisoner and all the others left the house, When they had got a short dis tance a quarrel took place between the • parties who accompanied Etherton, and those who were with the prisoner, and the former stayed back to allow the others to goon without coming in contact with them, butit appeared that the precaution was unavailing, and a man named Dunnaway, who was of Etherton's party, was heard to call out for assistance and. some one said " your eyes, have not you got a knife ?" The prosecutor, who was at some distance off, returned to render assistance, and he was heard to call out that he was stabbed directly afterwards, and he fell to the ground, ald the blood streamed from his side. At the same moment the pri soner and Dunnaway were observed struggling upon the ground near the prosecutor. The prosecutor said that the prisoner was the man who stabbed him, and it also appeared that he ran away and was apprehended at some distance from Chichester, and a knife with blood on it was found in his pocket, and on his hands there were some spots of blood. The surgeon who was called in proved that the prosecutor had received a very severe wound, and it was three - weeks before he was in a fit state to be examined by the Magistrates. Mr. Cobbett on behalf of the prisoner remarked that the evidence was insufficient to warrant the serious offence imputed to him, and he suggested a verdict of assault against the prisoner. Chief Justice TINDAL summed up, and the Jury re turned a verdict of guilty of an assault only. The Court sentenced him to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for eighteen calendar months. NISI PRIUS-AUG. 6. GAY V. FLEET. This was an action against the defendant, who is the proprietor of the Brighton Ilerald newspaper, for publish ing a libel upon the plaintiff: The damages were laid at 5001. The defendant pleaded a justification. Mr. Thessiger'and Mr. Cobbctt were for the plaintiff; and Mr. Platt and Mr. CreaSy for the defendant. Mr. TISESIGER addressed the Jury, and said the plaintiff was a highly respectable tradesman at Brighton, and he brought the present action to vindicate his charac ter from the attack made upon it by the defendant. There were a variety of publications put forward at the present day in which private character was assailed, but the nature of these publications gave them very little influ ence; but the'case was very different where a respectable newspaper like the Brighton Herald, the organ of the predo minant party in the State, thought fit to attack the character of a private individual, and in such a case there was no alternative but an appeal to a Jury of his country; It was known that the Chartists had one great object in view—viz. to effect the liberation of Frost, Williams, and Jones, who were convicted at Monmouth ; and it appeared that an application was made to the High Con stable of Brighton, by the plaintiff and two other parties, for a public meeting to address the Queen, and call upon her to grant a free pardon to those individuals ; but the High Constable thought fit to refuse the request. In a subsequent publication of the Brighton: Herald, the libel complained of appeared. (The libel was read,—it stated that the plaintiff, with a hundred others, had gone to the High Bailiff with a requisition for a meeting for the purpose specified, and that, on its being refused, the plaintiff said they would go in a body, and • " if blood were required, they would die man by man, and see who should be masters.' In a subsequent paper the article was again alluded to, and it was still asserted that the language had been used, and both articles attacked the opinions of the Chartists.) The Learned Counsel said that the imputation conveyed in those paragraphs was a most serious one, and that it amounted almost to a charge of high treason againit.the plaintiff,..and the plea ofjus tification put upon the record greatly aggravated the offence. The Learned Counsel concluded by calling upon tho Jury to give such compensation as they considered would meet the justice of the case. The proprietorship having been admitted, Mr. Coppard was called to prove that he purchased a paper at the defendant's office. Cross-examined—Knew the plaintiff by sight for the last seven or eight years. 'Witness is clerk to Mr. Faith full, attorney for the plaintiff. Didn't know that the de fendant was a political opponent to Mr. Faithfull. It was generally said that the plaintiff was a stirring mai among the Chartists. Mr. PLATT submitted there was no proof that the libel, if libel it were, applied to the plaintiff. Mr. Bowdich was then called, and he expressed his opinion that the article referred to the plaintiff. Cross-examined—Considered both the articles, al though no name was mentioned in the second, referre4 to plaintiff. He did not believe that Gay was a Char tist. Never heard Mr. Gay talk of putting down Kings and thrones. Did not believe he would do such a thin. ' % Gay was a quiet peaceable man, an d h e never i ntru d e d upon any public meeting. Had not heard Gay advocate the principles of the Charter. Mr. PLATT then addressed the jury in a powerful and able address, and he said that if the jury found such an article as the one . brought before their notice to be a libel, there w a s an en d of freedom- of discussion by the press. They were all aware of the character and ob jects of the Chartists, and it was evident that the object of the article was to attack those opinions, and to hold them up to the contempt. and execration they deserved, and he contended that so far from the article being a libel, the defendant in publishing it only performed the strict and honourable duty that devolved upon the press of this country, and had conferred a benefit upon the State and upon the public. It app2ared that the plaintiff was to be made out not to be a Chartist, but could they doubt that he had given correct instructions to his Counsel, and that he avowed himself to be a Chartist, and consequently a supporter of those opinions which, if carried out, must inevitably destroy all the institutions of the country, and bring ruin uponit,? and he thought it monstrous that a man having put himself publicly for ward as the advocate and supporter of Chartist opinions should have resorted to an action for libel for strictures upon that public conduct. Th e L earne d Counsel then went through the alleged libels, and submitted to the Jury that there was no pretence for construing them into an attack upon the private character of the plaintiff, which would form the real foundation for an action for libel. All that was intended was to express an abhor rence for the principles of the Chartists, and to hold them up to the contempt and indignation of the public. Every little inaccuracy on the part of a Newspaper Pro prietor, was not to be visited by an action for libel, for if it were, the liberty of the press would be completely de stroyed. lie left the matter with confidence in the hands of the Jury, and said he was sure they would by their verdict protect the press that had rendered and continued to render such essential service to all classes of the community. Mr. Sergeant 'PADDY summed up, and the Jury, with out hesitating a minute, returned a verdict for the de fendant. CHESTER AND NORTH WALES CIRCUIT. August 3. THE STOCKPORT MURDER CASES—CONVIC TION OF A FATHER FOR POISONING HIS CHILD. Robert Sandys and Ann, his wife, were this morning placed at the bar, charged with 'the wilful murder of Elizabeth Sanclys, their daughter, an infant only six months old, at Stockport, in this county, on the •?4th of September last. The prisoners were two of them ac quitted yesterday on a charge of poisoning Mary Ann Sandys, also their daughter. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL (with whom was Mr. Townsend) stated the case to the Jury. Mr. WELsnv, the prisoners' counsel, then took an ob jection to the form of the indictment. He contended that the crime. with which the prisoners stood charged was not sufficiently descrihoi, for after stating that they had administered to the deceased a certain deadly poison called arsenic, whereby she became mortally sick and distempered in her body, it went on to state, "of which said mortal sickness she, the said Elizabeth Sandys, .died." It•did not aver that she died of the poison. His Lordship would find that all the precedents required an averment that the death was caused by the poison so ad ministered. A lengthened argument ensued on the point, in the course of which the Learned JUDGE observed that the indictment stated that the mortal sickness was produced by poison, and the sickness caused the death. Nothing short of a direct authority would induce him to decide in favour of the objection, because, if he was wrong, the parties might escape punishment altogether. It was, however, extremely dangerous to attempt to shorten common law indictments, or to alter them so as to make Cie wording more like common sense ; the safest course was strictly to follow the precedents. Mr. TOWNSEND produced vol. 2 of Mood •'s Crown Cases, the very last precedent, in a case tried before all the Judges, which had in the present instance been strictly followed. The Learned JUDGE, after looking at several autho rities on the subject, said he would leave the case for Mr. Welsby hereafter to move in arrest of judgment, if it should be found necessary. The evidence was then proceeded with. It occupied se veral hours, and was in substance similar to that adduced in the former trial. It appeared that on the 7th June the male prisoner entered the deceased a member of the Philan thropic Burial Society ; that on the 6th of September following he made inquiries as to whether she was en titled to the benefit of the Society in case of death. He was told she was not. The following week he made simi lar inquiries, and was told she then was. On the 20th the deceased was seen by a neighbour very ill, and the pri soners said she had been ill about a fortnight. On the 24th she died, and was buried the following day, the male prisoner having in the meantime received 31. Bs. 6d., the allowance of the Society. He also gave two different tic counts of her illness to the registrar and the sexton of the Roman Catholic Chapel, where she was buried. Suspicions arising on the 17th of October, the body was disinterred, examined, and arsenic found in the stomach. The appearances also proved that she had died of poison. The mother of the deceased averred that the deceased had not taken any food from any one but herself and her husband. Mr. WELsnY addressed the jury at great length, con tending that the case amounted to nothing more than one of strong suspicion, and therefore the jury ought to give the prisoners the benefit of the doubt in which it was in volved. The Learned JUDGE having summed up, The jury retired, and, after an hour's consultation, found Robert Saudys Guilty, and acquitted the other prisoner. The JUDGE ordered him to be retained in custody un til the next assizes, in consequence of a motion fur an arrest of judgment. The prisoner was removed from the bar in a state of unconsciousness.

THE MARKETS-YESTERDAY, CORN EXCHANGE. The supplies of most descriptions of Grain this week have been tolerably good. The heavy rains have produced much excitement in the Wheat trade, and English parcels have ob tained Is. to 2s. per quarter advance, and Bondesi 3s. to 4s. on Monday's prices; but the weather having become dry, the trade, has closed dull. In other Grain no variation in prices, and trade firm. Flour has met a fair demand this week.

SuGAn.—There has been a considerable falling off in the demand for British Plantation Sugar this week, and the market has been in a dull state ; the great increase in the comparative stocks of Sugar subject to the 24s duty, and the large shipments that are making at Calcutta for this market, have caused both grocers and refiners to purchase very sparingly, and al though the merchants have ;submitted to a reduc tion on former rates of Is per cwt, still the quantity disposed of for the three market slays has been only 600 'Ads and trs ; there have been no public sales. To day the market for West Licht', presented _a qu, aspect, refiners as well as grocers operated with niue caution, and the limited business done was at prices ii, favour of buyers, making the decline for the week is to Is 6d per cwt, and the total purchases only 800 hhds and tierces ; the greater decline has again been on the infe rior sorts. DEFINED.—For refined goods this week, prices have further given way is per cwt, Standard Lumps at 93s a 93s 6d. Tittlers and Hambro' Loaves, common 92s to 935, good 94s to 975, fine 98s to 104 s, brown lumps 91s to 925, for melting 89s to 90s per cwt. Bastards have given way, low sorts 47s to 495, mid 50s to 545, good to fine 55s to 62s per cwt. For Pieces ptices are on the decline, good to fine sorts at 68s to 765, raid 65s to 675, ord 62s to 64s per cwt. Treacle at higher rates for the better sorts ; common at 25s 6cl to 265, ord Patent 26 s 6d t o 28 s , good 29s to 31, golden syrup 32s to 35s per cwt. Bonded Crushed Sugar at 30s to 30s 3d for first quality ; Loaves, 101bs, at 33s a 345, an d 141b s 32 s a 32 s 6d per cwt. Treacle, 13s 3d. The demand has been dull for Bas tards and Pieces ; the former we quote 13s to 15s, and the latter 16s to 20s per cwt. Dutch Crushed Sugar at 28s on board at Amsterdam. MAUILITIUS.—This afternoon the trade operated with caution, and at the public sale of 5,141 ba - gs, 149 bar rels, &c., the biddings were languid, and prices further declined is per cwt ; fine yellow sold at 63s to Gss, good mid and good 59s to G2s, mid 57s to 58s, low dark brown 38s Gd to 40s, low to mid 43s Gd to 49s Gd, good to fine 51s 6d to 55s per cwt. EAST INDIA.—This afternoon the demand was limited for Bengal, 5,742 bags, 71 casks, &c. were offered at public sale, which went off heavily at a decline on pre vious rates of is to is Gd per cwt, fine crystalized yellow went at 72s to 80s, fine white 69s to 70s Gd, good 66s ca to 68s Gd, middling 63s to 64s Gd, low 60s Gd to 625, mid dling to good yellow 56s to 58s 6d, ordinary brown 40s per cwt. To-day there was but a limited demand, but holders refused to take lower rates. At public sale 80 chests, 101 brls, 500 bags Brazil and 200 chests damaged Ha vannah were offered ; the former all taken in at full rates, viz., good to fine brown 15 s t o 18 s ., l ow 14 s G d ; the latter sold is to 2s cheaper for white, and fetched 25s Gd to 27s 6d, for mid to good fair, slightly damaged,' badly damaged 24s Gd, yellow went at 19s to 20s for good mid, being the full rates. MOLASSES.—A better demand has prevailed for West India, and a large amount of business has been trans acted at full rates, 400 puns have been disposed of, prin cipally mid Trinidad, at 245. Gd. per cwt. TEA.—This has been a week of great excitement in the Tea market. Tne furious edict issued by the Em peror of China against the English, and the reduced stocks of Tea in this count r y, caused both the trade and speculators to come forward with increased freedom, and for both black and green descriptions of Free Trade Tea the demand has been extensive all the parcels offered for sale have been disposed of, and the prices paid are 2i-d to 3d per lb, above those of this day week ; Common Congou in large par cels for cash has - been disposed of at 2s 6d to 2s 61d, blackish leaf rather strong 2s 7d to 2s 7d ; Twankay ordinary, 2s aid to 2s Gd ; Hyson, common, 2s 9d to 2s 10d, and ordinary Souchong 2s 2d to 2s 4d per lb, upon which terms some of the merchants will not sell, there being every appearance, according to the last accounts received from China, that the season's supply of Tea has been lost, and that which will be got out will be surreptitiously. Se veral orders this week have been prevented from being exe cuted owing to the want of parcels offering for sale : the total stock at all the ports is only adequate to ten months' consumption. The speculative market has been brisk, and in Company's Congou an extensive business has been transacted at advanced rates ; at one period sales of Com pany's for cash were made at 2s 7d to 2s 8d with short prompts, but yesterday prices declined to 2s 7d to 2s 7/c1 cash. The stock at all the ports is now only 30,000,00 lbs, of which 6,000,000 cannot be consumed in this country, and 11,000,0001bs are held by the trade and speculators, &c., consequently the quantity available is only 13,000,0001b5. For public sale on Tuesday 9,000 pkgs are declared. At the principal Foreign markets stocks -are small, and prices rule high. To-day a good demand existed for common sorts of Free Trade Tea, and prices were firm, Congou at 2s Gd to 2s 61d, and Twankay 2s 6d. per lb, but in the better kinds there was not much business done ; the rates previously established have been fully supported ; Company's Congou met with attention, and a good many purchases were made at 2s 71c1 cash, at which the market closed firmly. COFFEE.-The trade has been anxious to purchase all clean descriptions of British Plantation Coffee this week, but the supply being small, has materially operated against business, and the parcels disposed of privately have been at an advance on last waek's rates of 2s to 3s per cwt, mid kinds however were the most in request. To-day the market presented a firm appearance, and the demand was good from the home trade. The public sales consisted of 373 bags Ceylon,_ 64 casks 95 b ags Porto Rico f rom th e C ape, 40 casks British Plantation, 300 bales Mocha, and 477 bags East India of various sorts ; Ceylon sold briskly at a further advance of Is, good ordinary pale went at 755, good /or dinary dingy col ou ry 76 s 6d to 7 75, Porto Rico went at an advance of 4s to ss, middling in casks at 63s Gd to 655, fine and fine fine ordinary in bags 59s to 625. Plantation sold rather higher, Jamaica low mid at 105 s 6d, fine fine ordinary 93s 6d, Dominica fine fine ordinary unclean 76s to 775. Mocha was all withdrawn ; East India sold 2s higher, and fetched 63S Gd to 64s 6d for good and fine ordinary greenish Java, Batavia good drdinary 38s, low 35s 6d per cwt. Privately some parcels of Coffee were sold at similar rates, and the market closed with a firm appearance. RUM, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.—There has been less activity in the Rum market this week, and both shippers and the home trade have been cautious in their operations. Holders, however, have been firm, and the rates previously established have been supported ; the purchfises in v Jamaica have been 120 r puncheons, 30 to 32 per cent over prooi at 5s 2d to 5s Gd, 33 to 35 over 5s 7d to 5s 9(1, fine marks 6s to Gs 2d ; of Leewards 130 puns have been disposed of, proof to 2 per cent. over proof at 2s Id to 2s 2d, 7 to 12 over at 2s 4d to 2s 7d ; of Demerara 60 puns fine have been sold at 4s 3d for 36 to 38 over proos. In Calcutta small sales have been made at is 63d to is 7d proof. For Brandy there has been a fair demand, and rather high er rates have been paid. Sales of Cognac first brands, of the vintage of 1836, hhds 5s 7(1, and pulls 5s sd, 1837 Mitts 5s 4d, puns 5s 2d, 1838 hhds 5s 2d„ puns ss, 1839 hhds 4s Bd, puns 4s Gd, 1840 hhds 3s 7d, puns 3s sd.

For British Corn Spirits there has been an excellent demand at lOs 2d cash, liacE.—The market for Bengal has presented a more lively appearanoe this week, a good demand has prevailed by. private contract, and tho prices paid are Gd per C Wi above those of last Friday.

To-day the demand was good for Java, and some par cels were sold at stiffer rates, making the private sales for the week 4,000 bags at 8s 9d to Ils, for low to good mid dling white. FRUIT.—In Currants there has been some large busi ness doing, the buyers continuing to select the best parcel/ at the best quotations. Red Smyrna Raisins have becom very scarce, and a good deal inquired for ; the other des criptions remain much the same as last last week. SPlCES.—Cassia Lignea, mid at 81s to 89s Gd, ordinary coarse 83s to 85s;good middling at 955. Pepper is held firmly at 3-d 3fd for common and fair Sumatra and Pe nang.

At twelve o'clock a ix~ beyond Hendon Church, as he was Passi" 4 ° Ar den roomed cottage by the road side, with a wail / wea k_ before it, enclosed by iron railings, he heard th e • u . up ing of Glass, and saw a Amp in the act o f throw in p the sash of one of the parlour windows—that on the rigl.e hand side of the hall d oor , -and-called t o hi m , " What are ing, " D—n your eyes you— what is it to yo u , a nd you about there ?" The man directly 10i up tri - fiiin s 4 the same instant made a sweeping blow at his neck, which struck him on the left side of the throat, just under the jaw bone ; the fellow then ran off in the direction towards Hendon Church. Fearing that the man might base - some confederates with him, lie did not wait to give ant alarm on the spot, but ran off in the direction toward' town, and on his way he met with two policemen, ev . whom he gave information, and his name and address. but declined their offer to procure him surgical aid.• After walking for about an hour, he became so faint frote ;• loss of blood, that lie was obliged to lie down in a field , where he became insensible, and remained so until be: *tiveen four and five o'clock, when lie came to himself-, and; with the greatest difficulty, succeeded in ivalking the Hospital. The radii' 'who attacked him i s a b ou t 5 f ee t , inob e ! high, wore a fustian jacket and a black hat, and s eemed very active, bUVSpencer could not distinguish his fee" tures. The wound is not considered a t p rese nt to be likely to lead to a fatal :result. Spencer says that thinks that he discerned clasp knife in the man's ha" when lie struck him ; he noticed that there were inside' shutters to the parlour windows,„which were closed. • THE WEATHER.—NooN, - AuGusr 6.
