MORNING SUN. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE DAILY PAPERS OF SATURDAY. CHRONICLE.—The first and greatest object of the Tories, when once of official power, will be that of entrench ing themsers se ti s i s :r d ein so as to defy public opinion in its efforts for their expulsion. For this purpose, the scheme of creating a huge mass of ecclesiastical patronage in the colonies, and rendering the exercise of that patronage independent of the Crown and its Constitutional advisers, is not badly constructed. The appointment of well-salaried bishops and clergy, with which the Ministry for the time being should have nothing to do, would be an awkward difficulty for any future Whig Go vernment to contend with. The plan is not less impudent for affecting to regard the endowments of thirteen new bishoprics as the possible creations of voluntary contribution. Nor, were they ictually to be se, would it materially signify. Suppose any. clique were to subscribe for the salaries of Governors of Canada, of Jamaica. of India; or of any new colonies to be settled or acquired. The argument from such contributions to the alienation of the appointments from the Crown, would not be more incompatible with the rights of the Sovereign and the interests of the nation than a similar alienation as to the thir teen new bishopric,. Let the spiritual functions of a Bishop be what they may, as the Bishop of a province or district he is a creature of the State. To render him independent of 'its authorities, is to subject the State to any faction which may bid highest for episcopal favour. Toryism speculates upon purchasing the spoils of office by transferring a portion of the prerogative of the Sovereign, held for the people, to an Eccle siastical Corporation ; and thus forming a power too strong for both Sovereign and people. The plan is also an intima tion to Sir Robert Peel how little he is trusted. Just on the supposed eve of his becoming Premier, it is disco vered that the religious enfranchisement of Dissenters and Catholics has " tended to disqualify the Ministers of State for the office of ecclesiastical advisers of the Crown." And the prelates, we are also informed by the Times, " adopt throughout a tone which would be inconsistent with the idea of their consenting to surrender (the new ecclesiastical patronage) into the hands of men who may, possibly, be dis senters from the Church, or may be actuated by merely poli tical and secular motives in their use of Church patronage." .But is Sir Robert Peel a Dissenter? Are any of the Mem bers of his Cabinet likely to be Dissenters? No ; .but the high Church and Tory party will not trust him. They declare so beforehand. He must give them security for his good be haviour ' • the security of being tied ha n d an d f oo t, an d o f trans mitting his bonds to whatever successors the nation may hereafter raise to office. It is not power for Sir Robert Peel that will satisfy the faction, but permanent power for Teryism ; power independent of the Crown and the people; the power of bigotry and exclusion, of monopoly ecclesiastical and political, of plunder and oppression, in secula seculoru'n. TIMES.—The Scotch returns, if not answering our expec tations in every iota, have certainly occasioned us no material disappointment. North of the Tweed, there are various cir cumstances, as we have often mentioned before, which render the steady progre s s of Conservative principles less rapid and less active than in other parts of the kingdom. Overlooking the historical fact that the very restricted franchise prevalent in Scotland previous to the Reform Bill was entirely attri butable to the Whig party, who, when passing the act of union, adjusted the Scotch representative system to their own nar row views, a large proportion of the new constituencies in that quarter, otherwise favourable to the established insti tutions of the country, were no sooner invested with electoral privileges, than they attached themselves zeal ously and indiscriminately to the movement faction as that which in their opinion had given them a po litical existence. Perhaps the infirmity which generates vindictiveness under a sense of supposed injury may also have stimulated them to a course of determined resentment against the Tories, whose reluctance to try the experiment of a revolu tion (such was the phrase which Lord John Russell himself applied to the Reform Bill) was uncandidly interpreted as a. proof of their hostility to popular rights. On the other hand, viewing the Whigs rather as the parents and guardians of their' new-born privileges than as the mere instruments of bringing forth a great national gestation, which, being matured by a Constitutional necessity, could neither be accelerated nor retarded -by any political party whatever, the feeling of filial attachment thus created (similar in, intelligence to that of ducklings hatched by a hen) was considerably strengtened by the vulgar pride and conceit which have latterly sunk the in ferior portion of the middle classes in Scotland almost to a par with the swaggering braggadocio of the United States. Piquing themselves upon that superior education and intelligence which used formerly to boast that no English dramatic actor could establish his fame until he had passed the ordeal of an Edin burgh audience (we involuntarily smile at this ludicrous and contemptible vanity), a vast.number[of the Scotch ten-pounders who can possibly conjugate Awmo, have taken it into their tre mendously long heads that they must needs be a century in ad vance of all England and Ireland in point of leeterature and leeberality. Liberalism therefore—not an independent and ra tional preference for enlightened statesmanship, but a mere prag matical ambition to be in the van of the grand army of cal sappers and miners—is considerably more to their mind than the moderate and discriminating politics of sober-minded citizens. Time and insupportable ridicule have doubtless done much to lower their combs and thirr their ranks. ADVERTISER.—Reformers of Great Britain, until Tues day next let the registries be the sole object of yonr attention. See that the name of no friend to popular principles of Govern ment, entitled to the franchise, be omitted from the registration, and that no enemy, unduly claiming the suffrage, usurp that distinctive right which marks the freeman from the slave. The contest just concluded was a contest of parties, not of principles, and the verdict returned by the country may be re garded as a verdict upoa the men rather than upon the mea sures, with which in their extremity they sought to es:ablish a dubious association. If it were a question between the Minis ters and the country, the sentence pronounced by the result of the elections might not be considered altogether unmerited ; but as a question between Whigs and Tories, it is to be re- . gretted that the defeat of the one could be achieved only by the triumph of the other. This election was a struggle for power, not for principles, and many voted for the transfer of the helm of the state from the hands at present directing it, without reflecting upon the capacity or qualification of those standing eagerly watchful to clutch it for their own selfish interests. The next election must, necessarily, be one of a different cha racter. The people must then have some palpable and cer tain good to struggle for, and the men soliciting their suffrages must represent measures on which the popular sentiment has already fixed the seal of its approbation. Prepare. therefore, for the c, ntest. Reformers, your next battle will be for your own rights, and not merely for the possession of office by men ambitious of authority. Prepare, therefore, to strike for your freedom. The time of action may arrive sooner even tha.P: ts anticipated, and he who has a qualification for the frapi cbise, and be not then in a position to exercise it, will der - rye to be stigmatised as a voluntary slave, desei vino the contempt of every true citizen. POST.—In the absence of anything in.',"he present state of aff .irs to comfort them, the Whig-Re__ - .lca! party try to keep up the spirits of their friends by o'etailing all the difficulties which the Conservative leaders-will have to encounter by and by. These sagacious poli".cians have al rea dy framed a chart of the political way for tv oe next twelve months, and have laid down a very great ai`,undance of rocks and shoals, upon which the poor Conserse:oves are sure to make shipwreck of their cause. We eaould be very unwilling, in the present very sorry plight of our Whig-Radical opponents, to debar them from ao• . - , comfort of which they may deem it possible to avail them ;elves, but we really think that for some time, at least, they wrsuld do as well to steer clear of prophecy. When we con sider how very plainly they foresaw, about a month , ago, that the elections were to be greatly in their favour, and to rebuild, and more than rebuild, all the majority which had been crumbling away from * 1835 ; and when we compare this speculation with the fact as it stands now accomplished, it is quite impossible to think that the gift of prophecy is actually among those eminent endow ments to which Whig-Radical - modesty lays claim. They may be great engineers of Reform, though that which they con structed ten years ago has greatly disappointed their own cal culations. They may be very wonderful hands at retrench ment, though an it crease in our expenditure of two millions three hundred thousand a year, while the revenue has dimi nished by the same amount, is rather an odd way of showing it. They may be very faithful friends of peace, though to carry on even "little wars" in every quarter of the globe is not the most seisfactory evidence of peaceful dispositions. But prophets they certainly are not, as the result of the general election very satisfactorily proves ; and, therefore, we think the less they say of what must happen when Sir It. Peel takes the helm, the better for their:own reputation as politicians. HERALD.—If the reformed system of election be worth anything, it must.. in some sort represent the opinions of those to whom the electoral power is committed; and as that system was created and established by themselves, we do not well see how they can fairly complain of its being assumed, that in their sense of political speculation it has been doing so for the last 11 years. Now popular opinion in this year 1841, is expressed by the forcible ejectment of the Whigs in almost every place where the influence of Government, or jobbery, or priestcraft, has not turned the scale the other way. It is no doubt affection for the Whigs that lost Liverpool to their Foreign Secretary—Yorkshire totheir Irish Secretary—London almost to their Colonial Secretary—Dublin to their indispensable patron—Leeds to the eternal Joseph, who now inflicting him se lf on t h e East India ' who is, we Company—which scattered in flight nearly as bad as that of Iran, Sir De Lacy Evans, and Mr. Wyse., Mr. Whi pper.in Stanley, Sir Hussey Vivian, Sir Edward Lytton Bolster, the great novelist ; Mr. George Grote, the equally great political ; th a e nd list s° economist; Sergeant Talfourd , renowned in drama; M r. Gil lon, renowned for his patronage of theDukeoak fS e us o se u x t many other illustrious personages, that to m would fill our columns to overflowing. If these b e proofs of popular affection for the Whigs, we can only say that th ey marvellously resemble that of the poet who appeals to his ten der mistress— "‘‘ Perhaps it was right to dissemble your love, But why did you kick me down stairs?" Kicked down stairs they are at present, and "no mistake." GLOBE.—It was left for the elections, now nearly ter minated, to reveal the full extent to which the fifty pound tenant-at-will clause was capable of being carried by the landlords against the other great interests of the country. The dread of a change in the system of corn restriction, with which the lords of the soil ignorantly suppose their ability to exr.et high rents from their tenan try is bound up, has ir;tticecl them to put in operation, to an extent never be r .ore known, the powers of coercion con ferred upon the-,a by that insidious interpolation into the Reform Bill, When the returns exhibit a propor tion of 1 - 47 Members pledged to uphold the monopoly in core s while b u t t wenty - t h ree w h o are w illi ng to re l ax thus d restrictions are able to carry their elections as Kenibers of English counties, we may form some idea of the formidable powers which the Marquis' of Chandos' famous addition to the county constituencies (aided by the division of counties) conferred upon the landowner. This clause enables him to command the votes of his tenants-at-will, with as much assumed autho rity over them, as the baron of the feudal times exacted the suit-and-service by which his serfs held their lands, who were indebted for protection from marauders to his 'prowess. The fifty-pound tenant-at-will clause, unac companied, as it ought to have been, by some protection to the voter, places the representation of the English counties at the disposal of the landowners, as completely as Gaon and Old Sarum were at the disposal of their proprietors in the pa'my days o f b oroug h mongering Par e.n ts. The Very phrase. te nure . at-will, is inconsist ent iiith theidea of freedom in th e exercise of the fran chise it confers, and cannot exist in connection with it. SuCh a title to the right of voting can never be established 4 in a & country but at the sacrifice of the m ora l an d poli tical atom of the tenant. It is a general principle of huirtan conduct, that men will not act in opposition to the desires of a man who haS it in his power to injure them for so Ooing, and so long as a farmer holds his farm at the mere 44 of his landlord, so long has that landlord the means • Or compelling him to vote as he pleases. Yet this is what ~:Lord Stanley, in the House of Commons, designated " the legitimate influence of property," with which it would be unjust to interfere, and of which it is unrea sonable t o comp l a i n ! The right of suffrage is a public trust ; and, tibiZfi as such, incl u d es a moral obliga with ebtseill t hose who hold i t to di scharge it is a tens delity. But can a farmer, who dischar ge hi s conscience at bury o r the litustitigs QH romes to the • poll; say at A y l e a s A date—is 4 4 ) Lg iv e his vote f or the candi • • choice ? the luau w h om he con . siders would most competently and faithfully discharge the important duties of a Member of Parliament ? No i he lives by his farm ; would be ruined if expelled from it ; he therefore dares not fly in the face of his landlord. A farmer is not like a mere householder, who, if he receives, " notice to quit," can easily provide him self with another dwelling. The farmer lives by his farm —the tenant does not live by his house ; and, if he does, can find one at the next door, or in the next street, Which will answer his purpose equally well. Who, then, can blame the farmer, if he avoid entailing ruin on him self and family by voting at his landlord's bidding ? STANDARD.—We are no believers in the possibi lity "of any considerable conversion among the Whig- Radicals. Men of high spirit, of talent, and of intellec tual attainment may come from them, as many such men have come, but the condition of the mass is nearly hope less, because with them all political feeling is not the effect of conviction and conscience, but of the indulgeince of bad passions so as indelibly to stain their very nature. Let us illustrate what we mean by a parallel case. Sir John Cam Hobhouse passed some months in Newgate; he came out undamaged in characters and in mind and manners undeteriorated, because he did not mix with the society, or adopt the habits of the place • but would such be the case with a vulgar gaol -bird, though no longer domesticated in Newgate than Sir- John ? Is it not almost certain that, what ever. the unhappy person went in, he would come out an irreclaimable vagabond ? It is just the same in politics. A man of talent and of honour may, by the accident of birth, or some other accident, incur the penalty of Whig-Radicalism ; but if he be, as such a man probe. bly , will be, a man of high spirit also, he never will, by intimate association with Whig-Radicals, acquire the habits of the faction ; and therefore, whenever the light breaks in upon him, he can, without an effort, abandon his errors, and will abandon them sincerely. The case of the vulgar Whig-Radical is different ; never having consulted duty or conscience in the first place, he is very little, likely to consult them afterwards ; and if he should at any time be tempted to do so, he knows, like the dis- - charged culprit, that the gaol taint is upon him ; the Newgate savour of Whig-Radicalism cannot be dissi pated, and therefore he affects to go on exulting in it. COURIER.—ShouId the Whigs, under the pretence of Royal favour, continue office till after the meeting of the new Parliament (beyond that point their feeble tenure cannot by any possibility extend) they will be acting towards her Majesty with a higher degree of sel fish ingratitude and audacious insolence than ever yet had been shown by any discarded Ministry towards the Sovereign of these realms ; for, with a view of promoting their own low and factious purposes, they will' be exposing her Majesty's popularity to serious risk, and throwing the most unpleasant obstacles in the way of her intercourse with her - future Mi nisters. Amidst all the squabbles of faction, and the loud and angry strife of parties, nothing has been held more sacred, or guarded with greater reve rence than the name and authority of the So vereign ; no matter what the presumed partiality for one party or the other of the reigning Sovereign may have been supposed to be, no party, that we are aware of, ever before attempted to pervert it to his own narrow and paltry -ends, and of -this gross abuse of the Royal name the Whigs will be unquestionably guilty should they persevere in holding office against the declared opinions of the people, on the arro g ant presumption that they . alone possess the confidence of the Queen. Beside, has it. never occurred to their minds how difficult for them it will be to frame the Speech from the Throne without committing her Majesty to an attitude of seeming opposition and hostility to her Parliament? And this they would avoid doing had they one particle of generous chivalry in their composition. Surely it cannot be, that in return for her Majesty's gracious forbearance towards them they would have the insolent daring to represent her as adverse to that course of policy which the voice of the nation points out as essentially necessary to its welfare and security. Had the majority against the Whig Ministry been of a less decided cha racter—had the issue of the appeal to the country left them any grounds of hope, we could comprehend the motive of their remaining in office up to the meeting of Parliament, and even of their prolonging the struggle beyond that period ; but with a majority of over seventy against them—and without the remotest chance of being able to retrieve one iota of their loss, or repair one of their many disasters—we can see no plausible pretext or justification for their reterfion of office, nor do we see on what grounds it can 'oe at all accounted for, unless it be with the dark and dreary prospect of opposition before them, that they have come to the determination to make the most of their few re maining days in office, and meantime to let no crumb of patronage escape their clutches which design or accident may throw in their way. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS, FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF SATURDAY. CHRONICLE.—We understand that the Ce dom it tee o f Spanish bondholders has called a meeting of its members for Monday next, to consider the following poie_; cs . 1. The duty of calling a general meet' . tax to give their opinion upon the decree of the bondholders, of lie 21st January last, and the important document from, the office of the Sinking Fund in Madrid. 2. The case of the holde:i of the Treasury Debentures and Indemnity Bonds. 3. The right of the beld , 2rs of Passive Bonds under the law of the 20th February, 18:36, and the advertisement of M. Zu lueta and M. Pareja, to claim the conversion of their stocks into Active Stock, r,n the same terms as those granted to the Interior Passive r_ i from 1836. ebt, by one-sixth part of their bo n d s annua ll y Il t d t /. .ts step been taken at the tim e , the position of th e u` m " - Jlders would have been improved, he dividend offered by th '. Government on the Ist July would have been received, and the sales of the church property have extinguished a part of the new Three per Cent. stock for arrears of coupons. POST.—The immense decline which has taken place in the value of Spanish Bonds within the last few days, and the an nouncement, for the fact is unreservedly stated, that something of a juggle with Passive Stock is about to be attempted, are circumstances that have not failed to create fresh alarm in the minds of the Treasury, the Indemnity, and, in short, the Spa nish bondholders generally. The Passive Debt was, by the law of 1834, to be converted into Active in certain proportions annually, from May 2, 1836 ; but no conversion was ever ef fected, and, as the the Active Stock, so called, is equally passive with the Passive proper, it would be as great a farce to begin to do it now, while the whole mass of foreign Spanish debt re mains in a hopeless state of suspension, as is that of drawing Deferred Stock by lottery once a year in the Puerta del Sol, and making a sham Active of it. The scheme can be intended for no other purpose than that of producing a fresh rig in the market by giving an increased (nominal) value to the Passive Bonds, but which can Of course be done only at the expense of the already cruelly de preciated Actives. The disg raceful treatment b y S pa i n o f t h e Indemnity bondholders, w hose securities were issued in virtue of a convention entered into between the British and Spanish Governments, and to which the names of two British Commis sioners were attached, comprises our own Mihistry. The con vention referred to was, we believe, concluded during a former Administration, when Lord Aberdeen held the of f ice of Fo reign Minister ; and it has now naturally become a question among the sufferers whether, upon the return to power of Sir Robert Peel and his friends, Government will do anything for them. From the recollection we have of the mariner in which the Duke of Wellington and the Neble Earl spoke of these claims a few years ago, we think there need be no question upon the subject. Both of them rose in their places in the House of Lords and at once bore testimony to the legitimate character of the claims, and acknowledged the extent to which the British Government was committed in relation to them. There will be no toleration, of perjury on the part of such states men as these, and we trost we may confidently assert, that from the moment of the accession of the Conservatives, the career of Spanish fina:icial deception in this country may be consi dered as at . an en d. H E r 2cALD.—The Foreign Exchanges were flat to-day, with 'reclining tendency, more particularly on Hamburg. This Heavy aspect of the exchanges at a season of the year when there should be considerable shipments going forward to the Continent, and values drawn against them, is calculated to ex cite some uneasiness, for the quantity of bills offering to-day was quite inconsiderable. Coupled with this fact, and one of the chief accessory causes of it, it may be observed that the ac counts from the cotton manufacturing districts of Lancashire are far from being so encouraging as there was reason to hope from the increasing ratio of the consumption of raw cotton lately noticed from Livepool by the spinning factories. For the present depressed state of the cotton industry various causes may be alleged, one or two alone quite sufficient in themselves singly to account conclusively for much if not all the existing depression. In the first place it should be remem bered that at the present moment, and for a year past, the ex tensive markets of China have been closed against the consump tion of British fabrics; that trade must have been materially interfered with in th e M e dit erranean b y t h e warlike ope• rations and long previously agitated state of political affairs on the coasts of Syria and Egypt ; that civil war not long concluded in Spain, with unfriendly and high rated tariffs in Portugal, have substantially contributed to de press the consumption of British goods in the Peninsula ; that imports into Mexico have nearly ceased, excepting so far as a contraband traffic can be carried on, through the operation of a T!ay): and oppressive i nternal duty in excess of the all but pro n iry tariff exactions at the port of entry ; that trade in the Canadas is but just recoverin g ; from the disastrous effe c t s o f civil wa r ; t h at overtrading a nd' overspeculating in the Austra lian colonies, ind uced there to a great extent, as else where, by over banki n failures, depression of have b een accommodation, have ended, as might naturall y. be e xpected, commercial panic, for r d Bcrointissuhmfpabtiroines; may y at b acev , rethee d te ii rr inution of imports altiylnindtieersfethreed with h a b ni y l Affghan wars and the disturbed state of the country generally • that finally. and the fact needs no ampli fi cation of detail, the imports of the United S tates, which in 1839 ascended to 162,092,000 dollars, had decreased in 1840 to 107,141,500 only, or one full third less in amount. This extraordinary con junction of untoward circum s t ances in all parts of the world would seem to require no addition of misfortune or misconduct elsewhere to show why the proper balance sheet reckoning should chance to be on the wrong side of the ledger. , The Alsace states t h at dunng the first week of the present month, some gamblers of distinction; at Baden_ Baden, broke the bank of the rooms there five ti mes runnin; occasioning a loss to the proprietors of 140,000 francs. 1 ' The Baron de Barante, the French Ambassador at St. Petersburgh, is said to be engaged in writing a history of the Parliament of Paris. THE CROPS.—A Correspondent in Hereford. shire states that the hay harvest has been greatly retarded by the heavy and continued rains. In some places th e r i pe gras s ha; not been mown, and it is running to seed and becoming useless. The wheat and barley crops have not as yet sustained much damage, the rain having rather contributed to swell the esrs, but a succession of warm dry weather is now much re quired. Saturday and Sunday there were very high winds, which must have done much mischief in the orchards, where the crop is more partial than was at first anticipated. The hops are going on favourably ; at least there are few complaints as yet. In Worcestershire we are much in advance of our neighbours as regards the hay crop, a great portion of which was secured in good condition previously to the late rains; much, however, still remains flat on the field, awaiting sunny days. The produce of the other crops—corn, vegetables, and Puit—will, we believe, amount to a full average.— Worcester Paper.

LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, July 17. DURHAM AND SUNDERLAND RAILWAY COMPANY V. WAWN. The defendant, who is the new Member for South ' Shields, was a tenant in common of some lands and buildings, across which the defendants wished to make their railway. The other tenants in common of the same property,. granted to the Company a long lease of the premises, in which the defendant declined to con cur. The Railway Company, notwithstanding his ob jection, took possession' under their lease, pulled down the houses, and laid down their railway. The defendant then broug:ht . an action against the Company, but failed on a technical objection. He then brought a second ac tion of ejectment. On this trial it was argued on be half of the Company, that the defendant was not ousted, as he might walk over the railway as much a. he chose, although he might thereby incur some personal danger in case of a train goinc , by at the same moment. The Court of Exchequer, however, held that though pulling down the buildings was no ouster, yet laying the railway across the site was ouster, and Mr. Wawn recovered judgment in ejectment for his share of the premises. The Sheriff being about to execute the writ, the Company filed their bill in this Court for an injunction, not as they said to restrain the execution of the writ by the Sheriff, but to restrain the defendant from taking up the iron rails of the railway. The Master of the Rolls granted the injunction ex parte, but afterwards, on mo tion. dissolved it. The Company appealed. It was ar gued, on behalf of the defendant, that inasmuch as laying down the rails had been held to be ouster, taking them up again was the only way of recovering possession; and that equity had no jurisdiction to interfere against a plain legal right. The LORD CHANCELLOR, having taken time to con sider his judgment, this day said, that it had been inti mated to him there would be no difficulty in coming to an arrangement, but for some feeling which existed be tween the parties, and which he could not enter into on the consideration of a right of property. Mr. HARE, for the defendant, said that the latter had been always ready to act with the utmost liberality to , wards the Company, but he certainly desired from them an expression of their sense of the impropriety of deal ing with his property in the unauthorised manner in which they had done, and he resisted any attempt of the Company to compel him to execute the lease by any pro ceeding in this Court. Upon the bill being dismissed and all costs at law and in equity, as between solicitor and client, paid to him, the defendant would execute the lease. The LORD CHANCELLOR said, that as to the apology it was a matter he could have nothing to do with, but upon the execution of the lease the Company ought to submit to the other terms insisted upon. The Company by their counsel, agreed to the proposition, and the case was disposed of accordingly. noyed by those assembled under the Colonnade. The public must be protected, and the offenders punished. As the regulations of the police were very proper, they must be • obeyed ; and he should, therefore, inflict the penalty of twenty shillings on Jones, and forty Shillings on Hertford. He would take the opptßtunity of stating publicly, that if the regulations of the Commissiouerr were not complied with, he should in future amerce all persons complained against in the full penalty of 101. People must be taught not to interfere with the regula tions of the police, who had n Ytry arduous duty to perform. Mr. Craig, of Notting-hill, the master of Hertford, having been made acquainted with the evderiee against his servant, fully acquiesced in the priipnety of the Ma gistrate's decision.

The asiOes for thti dlitintY of Beitdrd commenced this inn. tin the civil side two causes only were entered for trial, one of which was an undefended action for goods sold, and the other was postponed till the Spring assizes, on account of the absence of a material witness. The following case excited very great interest, in the countv,, and occupied a long time in the trial: The bill was found ati the last assizes, together With another against " Deaf Burke," the celebrated pugilist, Lord Chetwynd, and others, for an alleged riot, charged to have been committed at the time to which the trial of to-day re lated, which ha, been remottd by certiorari into the Court of Quttiil getieh. (Before Mr. Baron ALDERSON.) Thomas Brown was indicted for unlawfully refusing to aid and assist one Daniel Herbert, a policeman, when duly called upon to do so in quelling a. riot. Mr. Andrews and Mr. Gunning were counsel for the prose cution! Mr..Byles and Mr. O'Malley for the defendant. It appeared thaton the morning of the 9th of last February the Rev. Mr. Cautley, curate of Broughton, in Bucks, ob served an unusual passage of persons on foot and in every kind of vehicle through his village, and on inquiry he learned that a prize• fight was about to "come off" at the neighbour ing village of Hulcott. He forthwith mounted his horse and rode with the streams of people until he reached a certain field in that parish, wherein he saw a ring duly staked and " roped " out, and two persons stripped, or " peeled'' to com bat, and some 300 or 400 spectators. He left the scene of the commencing fight, and called at the residences of two Magis trates, but they were both absent, and he then rode to the house of the prosecutor, Herbert, one of the rural police, whom he found. He placed Herbert on his own horse, and desired him to ride to the ring and put an end to the fight, whilst he followed on foot. The prosecutor rode thither accordingly, but was unable to make any impression on the ln?b, and Mr. Caut ley Oiled upeti the Constable " to chargstAnn to assist him," *RA the policeman accordingly did. Armed with the character of an assistant to the constable, Mr. Cautley attempted to get into the inner ring, but was prevented by the crowd. Hertert made the like attempt with the like want of success, and both got severely punished by the mob for their interference. The battle, which was between Cain and Adams, went on after this with spirit, and except when an attempt was made on the part of the authorities to check it, the mob conducted themselves tolerably peaceably. The prosecutor then charged several other persons to aid him, and amongst them the de fendant, Mr. Brown, who was sitting on the seat of his car riage and four, his horses being governed by two postilions. The policeman addressed him, saying, "Mr. Brown, I charge you in the Queen's name to aid and assist me in putting a stop to this fight." Mr. Brown did not positively refuse to do so, but said " he had his horses to mind," and, in fact, rendered no assistance, and shortly afterwards he left the ground. Mr. Cautley then with great bravery threw himself into the ring, and, for a short time, stopped the fight, but it quickly began again, the mob hooting and calling out that he was "no beak." Upon this he left the scene, and re turned with the Reverend Mr. Smith, a Magistrate, whereupon the people cried out, " The justice, the justice !" and many left the ground. Soon, however, the people returned to the charge, the fight recommenced, and the Rev. Magistrate read the Riot Act as loud as he could. For a moment the angry mob seemed pacified, but some one seized the Justice by the leg and attempted to unhorse him, and this was the signal for renewed riot and violence. He read the Riot Act a second time in dumb show, and whilst doing so some ruffian threw a bottle at him, which missed him, but struck a poor fellow between the eyes, and inflicted a severe injury. The fight continued until one of the combatants was fairly worsted, when the spectators left the field, and peace was restored, no substantial injury being inflicted upon any one except the man who was struck by the bottle thrown at Mr. Smith. The Magistrates of the county afterwards directed this and some other prosecutions to be preferred, and the defendant and ethers were held to bail. Mr. Baron ALDERSON summed up, and the Jury, after a short, consultation, found the defendant Guilty. Three other gentlemen, against whom similar bills had been found, upon the verdict being given, withdrew their pleas of " not guilty," and pleaded " guilty." Mr. ANDREWS, on the part of the prosecution, begged to say that the indictments were preferred on public grounds only, and that his clients were not anxious that the defendants should be visited with severity. Mr. Baron ALDERSON said, that he thought it possible the defendants might have acted in ignorance of the law, but they ought to know that it is the duty of every good subject of the Queen to keep the peace, and to set a good example of obe • dience to the law of the land in the person of its humblest officers. 'I he law speaks through its constables and its officers, and they must be protected by the law. He did not think it necessary to inflict any severe punishment on the defendants, believing that this public discussion would prevent any mis apprehension on the subject in future. The defendants were then sentenced to pay a fine of 40s. each to the Queen, and to find sureties for their good beha viour for twelve months. HOME ClRCUlT—Hertford, July 17. The business of this Assize terminated last night. Mr. Sergeant Taddy finished the criminal cases by the mid dle of the day, and he then disposed of two causes, and shortly afterwards his Court was closed. (Before Lord Chief Justice TINDAL and a Common Jury.) pummoox V. WATTS. BILL DISCOUNTING.—This was an action upon a bill of exchange for 361. 135., accepted by Mr. Alaric Watts, and endorsed to the plaintiff. Mr. James appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Thcsi ger for the defendant. The defendant pleaded that he had accepted the bill in question for the accommodation of one Robert Wallis, and that when it was due Wallis had given a bill for 371., and also a sum of 1/. 10s:in satisfaction of it. Mr. JAMES having stated the case, called Mr. John Clark, who said that he knew Mr. Watts and Mr. Wallis, and he had been in the habit of dis counting bills and advancing money to the latter, and the bill in question was brought to him by Wallis, and he discounted it for him ; and subsequently, in another transaction with the present plaintiff, he paid him over the bill, and it was dishonoured when due and returned to him. He saw Wallis after the bill had been disho noured, and he said that he would give him a bill for 37/. in lieu of the bill that had been dishonoured, and he would insure its being paid when it arrived at matu rity. He took the 371. bill, and, he believed, 30s. in ad dition as commission. He paid this second bill to a merchant in the City, and it was also dishonoured, and returned to him. He called at the office of the defendant a number of times about his acceptance, and pressed him to pay the amount ; and he said, tert if he was put to no expense about the bills, he would place a picture worth fifty pounds in his possession. He could not, how ever, get either the picture or the money. Cross-examined by Mr. THESIGER—Witness was for merly in the shoe line, but was at present a retired gen tleman living on his means. He had unfortunately " done" a good many bills. Mr. TETESIGER—YeS and a good many persons too, I dare say.—(Laughter.) Witness—l only discount bills when it is likely to be beneficial to the parties. I have injured myself to benefit others. Mr. THESIGE;R—Oh! I have no doubt of that. You generally charged a little " commission," though, did you not? Witness—Certainly, it could not be done without— that is a regu'ar thing. Mr. THESIGER—N7M can you give us any idea what , discount you used to charge-50 pct. cent. ? Witness— Oh, no certainly not. T Mr. RESIGER—WiII you swear now that you have never received fifty per cent. ? Witness (hesitating)— Well, well, I may have done it ; but, observe, the bills must have been " doubtful," mere waste paper. I have had a good many transactions with Wallis, and have be friended him many years. Mr. THESIGER—You never charged him fifty per cent. discount, of course ? Witness—l think not, certainly. He used to bring me bills of respectable parties, and he made his arrangements accordingly. Mr. THEMER—Yes, and you made your arrange ments, thdoubt, accordingly ; what was your general per tentage ? Witness—Oh, five, ten, fifteen, twenty per cent. Mr. TIIESIGER—Come, come, Mr. Clark, a little more—twenty-five ? Witness—l may have had twenty five per cent. • Mr. TIMMER—Can't you screw it a little more ? (The tone in which the Learned Counsel put this to the witness caused a roar of laughter in the Court.) Wit ness—Not thirty per cent. ; not ever twenty-five with good bills. Mr. THEMER—Now, will you swear you never charged fifty per cent. ? Witness—Well, well : will you let me consider a minute ; Mr. TRESIGER—No, no ; don't discount my question. I must have an answer. 'Witness—Then I don't think I ever did. If I have, it must have been under particular circumstances. The general charge was twenty per cent. Mr. TnEsioEn—Did you charge that amount in a two months' bill ? Witness—Oh, no ; four months. Mr. THEstarn—Well, that would be pretty good in terest, would it not ? The witness, on further cross-examination, denied that he told Wallis that the bill for 36/. 15s. was mislaid, but that he would give it up to him upon his receiving the 37/. bill and 1/. 10s. "commission." The Learned Counsel cautioned the witness, and then put into his hands a paper, in his own handwritii g, to the following effect :—" I have received a bill for 371. in lieu of one for 36/..155., which I promise to give up on payment of commission of 1/. 10s." This was the case for the plaintiff: Mr. THESIGER then addressed the Jury, and com mented in severe terms upon the conduct of the witness Clark, and he called upon them, as the case rested en tirely on his evidence, not to place reliance upon it, and saddle the defendant, who was an honourable and re spectable man, with a liability to which he was not at all answerable. Robert Wallis was then called in support of the plea that the bill had been accepted for his accommodation, but on his being examined he said that the bill in ques tion was given for a print that he sold to Mr. Watts, Lord Chief Justice TINDAL—Then there is an end of the case. Mr. THESIGER—I am afraid so, ray Lord. Verdict for the plaintiff, with interest for the time of the bill being dishonoured. (Before Lord Chief Justice TINDAL and a Special Jury.) BOLTER ??. PACKMAN. This was an action to try the question of a right of way to some cottages at St. Alban's. Mr. Thesiger and Mr. Gurney were for the plaintiff, and Mr. Platt and Mr. Bramble for the defendant. The trial occupied several hours, but the details were destitute of interest., The Jury found for the plaintiff, with nominal, damages, thus negativing the right demanded by the de— fendant. The commission will be opened on gonday atChams . ford. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. 1 1 1ANSION-HOUSE. On Saturday a case which excited a great deal of interest came on before the Lord Mayor. A Frenchman named Homo was brought before his Lordship charged by the French Consul under the following circumstances The French Consul stated that he had received a letter from the Minister for Foreign Affairs of France, stating that the prisoner, who had carried on business as a shopkeeper at Rouen, had fled to England with goods in his possession, to which he had no sort of claim, to the amount of between 16,000 and 20,000 francs, and de siring Viet application should be immediately made to the authorities of this country to stop the property and to detain the prisoner if possible. The witnem stated that he had accordingly proceeded',o the officers of her Majesty's revenue, and stated the tircumstances, but was informed that as there uppcared. to be no docu mentary evidence nothing could be done. After some preliminary inquiry, the witness communicated with Lord Palmerston, who very promptly directed that the necessary measures should be taken to secure the goods and the prisoner, a;,d from the rapidity with which the motions of the prisoner were regulated, it was quite apparent chat corresponding energy upon the part of those s' ho claimed the goods as theirs was quite neces sary. Here the Consul introduced the official assignee to the commission of bankrupt, which had been carried into effect against the prisoner, to the Lord Mayor, and stated that the gentleman carried about him all the ne cessary instruments constituting him assignee to the estate, signed and sanctioned by the legitimate autho rities. The LORD MAYOR asked whether the goods were de tained ? The French Consul said that they were at pre sent under the lock and key of ate revenue authorities of London. The LORD MAYOR—Then I suppose it is the wish of the gentlemen whoa pear here that he should be sent back to Rouen, '„4 be tried by the laws of France, and that the go-,ci s should be delivered u p t o th e official as • signce r The French Consul stated that it was a ques ton whether the prisoner had not performed acts in this country which made him amenable to the authorities of England criminally. It would be for his Lordship to decide, upon hearing the statement of the person em powered to act upon this occasion. The practice of swindlers and fraudulent characters of flying from one country to the other with their plunder made it highly necessary that some international arrangement should be made to check a system by which numerous robberies were frequently committed, with almost complete im punity. M. Le Prevost stated that the prisoner, who had car ried on business at Rouen, became a bankrupt there, and committed a felony, partly in that place and partly in this country. If the Lord Mayor did not consider the evidence which would b e produced sufficient to justify the man's committal in London, it would then be for the French authorities to apply to'the English with regard to the delivery of the prisoner into the hands of justice to answer for the violation of the laws of France. The prisoner became entitled, by the Code Napoleon, to the privilege of making a legal compromise, upon condition that he should pay a certain per centage within a given time. The period at which the creditors were to receive part of the money, however, elapsed, and the prisoner,, after having in a great variety of ways attempted to elude the activity and suspicion of his creditors, de camped with seventeen bales of goods of the value of .16,000 to 20,000 francs, and upon arriving in London en deavoured to raise money upon them, and at last ,suc ceeded to a certain extent. The document found upon the prisoner's person would explain the nature of the ar rangement by which he proposed to set sail for America on Sunday, and the mode of the diposal of the goods. In consequence of his conduct in making none of the promised payments to his creditors, and of his elopement, the commission of bankruptcy was re-opened, and an official assignee was appointed to follow and prosecute the prisoner, and seize the property for the benefit of the creditors. The attorney for the prisoner requested to be informed whether the prisoner had not got his certificate. M. Le Provost replied in the negative. In fact, the prisoner acknowledged that he had defrauded his credi tors. If he said that he had his certificate, it was only part of the system of delusion and roguery upon which he had acted all through, and which his creditors were determined to expose and punish to the utmost extent. The LORD MAYOR--I can see pretty clearly the merits of the case, and I hope the two co un t r i es w ill come to some speedy arrangement, by which each will cease to continue to be a refuge for the plunderers of the other. The prevalence of the system is so great, that a decided interposition is imperatively called for. The French Consul said it was only the other day a person, who had plundered to the extent of 10,0001., had been apprehended at Marseilles, and, by the acti vity of the authorities there, all but a couple of hundred pounds were recovered. In another case property to the amount of 6,0001. or 7,000/. was also recovered. The LORD MAYOR—It is very well that such prompt measures were adopted by the French Government in communicating with the English Secretary of State. You may depend upon it that the goods shall be securely kept, whatever course it may be proper for me to take with the prisoner. The attorney for the prisoner submitted that there was no evidence of the commission of any offence by the pri soner against the laws of England, and that his client was entitled to his liberation. The LORD MAYOR said the case was one of the great est importance, and he should take time to consider what course he would take with the prisoner. The French Consul declared that the prisoner had consented to deliver up the goods he had run away with if the official assignee would pay 601., which he had re ceived from certain parties with whom he had had deal ings about the property upon arriving in London, and 40!. for himself, to take him away to America with ; and that afterwards he had declined to do so, from which it was inferred that some influence had been used to pre vent him. The LORD MAYOR thought it was well for the credi tors to the estate that the arrangement had not been en tered into, as probably the seventeen bales would be re stored without any deduction. The attorney for the prisoner stated that he was in structed to say that his client had paid three. fourths of his debts already. The official assignee declared that there was not one word of truth in the assertion. The prisoner had not paid one farthing of his debts. The prisoner —Oh, yes, I have, indeed. The official assignee —Not a farthing, - I solemnly assert. —The prisoner was then remanded. • MARLBOROUGH-STREET. John Jones and William Hertford, a couple of gentle men's servants, were charged with disorderly conduct at the Opera on Friday night. Policeman Walker, 78 A, said the Police Commission ers had issued orders against allowing the livery servants of the visitors to the theatre to, congregate about the Colonnade, and thus obstruct the entrance to the theatre. The defendant Jones was under the Colonnade on Fri day night, drunk, and =sing a disturbance. Witness told him of the orders he had received, and requested him to remove. The cefendant Jones set him at defi ance, and on making resistance was taken into custody. The prisoner Hertford had hold of witness's arm, and by crying out "shame," and using other obstructive, pro ,ceedings, tried to excite the other servants to "attempt a .rescue. It was necessary to obtain assists lice, and then both defendantS were lodged in the station-house. The above evidence was corroborated by the other constables, and the printed instructions produced, from which it appeared that servants were not to be allowed under any pretence to wait 4 .n the passage. The defendant denied bc:in g drunk or having created a disturbance: Inspect ar Baker proved that both the defendants were in liquor. Several respectable inhabitants of Charles-street com plained o f the nuisance which regularly occurred on the nights wben her Maj oest, Y's Theatre was open, by the lan ' guar . and conduct of the servants in wasting... ARDWICK said th ere was no doubt agat nuisance , was cot omitted nod that the ears not only of persons outside the theatre ! put these inside we re eentiqiiilly MARYLEBONE. William Green, in the employ of Messrs. Shearman and Co., of the Bull and Mouth Inn, by whnth parcels are conveyed from the Paddington station for delivery in town, was charged with having stolen a quantity of black superfine cloth, the property of the Company in question. A policeman saw the prisoner go to a public house with a bundle under his arm ; suspecting it was something stolen, he apprehended him as he was about to enter the public-house, A piece of cloth, twenty-two yards long, and worth 351., was taken from him, which was proved to be part of a package sent by the railway to Messrs. Costahar and Co., of Cortibill. Another piece of cloth, which formed part of the original parcel, was found in a stable belonging to the railway, and would no doubt have been speedily removed. The prisoner, on being locked up, sobbed loudly, and said he had been four years in the employ of the Railway Company, and had never been :guilty of any oth e r ac t o f di s h onesty. He said nothing in his defence, and was remanded for the attendance of a witness from Bristol, from whence the cloth was sent. HATTON-GARDEN, A woman named Clapton was charged with the fol lowing outrageous conduct, Mr. Robert Stevens, one of the overseers of Clerkenwell, said that the prisoner was a pauper of that parish, and to his utter surprise, he, on going home between six and seven o'clock on the pre vious evening, found her in his drawing -moth, with her arms a kimbo in front of his \kik ) who was swooning on the sofa. On referring to his servant for an explana tion, she said that while sweeping the door-way, the pri soner rushed past her, threatening, in a loud pane of voice, to "do tbr her," and on Mrs.. Stevens tiHitilli out of the drawing-room to asr*rtikin the tailSe of so extra ordinary a disturbittiee ) lady was seized by the ac cused and throWii back in the most violent manner. It was at that instant that witness fortunately made his ap pearance, and in all human probability prevented something occurring of a very serious nature. As it was, his wife had sustained a very severe shock, and was now under the core of a medical man. When witness asked the de fendant the meaning of her infamous behaviour, she said she had come to serve out the wretch Sarah (meaning his servant), and she would do it sooner or later. Mr. ComnN— What has she to do with your servant ? Mr. stevens—Nothing tit all. My servant was formerly a pauper in tht gamehouse as the defendant, and she may hOW be jealous of her seeing that she is well off and steady ; a better domestic never etitered a man's house. Mr. Hellis, another oftleer, said the fact was, that the defendant wes tt Very abandoned creature, and because the servant had made some communication to him and others Or. the prisoner's brutality to the infant poor consigned to her care, a proper investigation followed, and it reaching the ears of the prisoner who it was that gave the infor mation that led to the inquiry, she had vowed vengeance on Mr. Stevens's servant. Inspector Penny, of the G division, said he removed the prisoner from the complainant's residence to the sta tion-house. After she had been locked up about four hours he went to her cell and found her hanging by her neck. lie cut her down and sent for a surgeon, who, after much perseverance, restored her to reason. Vhen asked what she had to say to the charge, the defendant sullenly replied, " Nothing at all." Mr. COMM fined her 37., and, in default of payment, committed her to the House of Correction for a month. A fashionably-dressed man, who stated his name to be James Grant, and that he had chambers in Staple's-inn, was charged with assaulting Mr. James Barrett, of Duke street, Bloomsbury. The complainant said that between 10 and 11 o'clock on Friday night he went to his door to let in a lodger, when he saw the prisoner in a friendly chat with a female on the opposite side of the way. When about to close the door, accused crossed over to him, saying, " How dare you stare at me ?" to which witness replied, "You are mistaken, my man." De fendant said " Good night," and witness answered, " Well, good night ; I think it is time you were at home." The prisoner then rushed forward and struck him on the nose, which bled profusely. The prisoner ran off; but witness pursued him, and eventually he was taken. A policeman said that when the prisoner was brought to the station-house he behaved in a most obstre perous manner, and for more than an hour kicked at the door of the cell in which he was confined.—The defend ant said it was reasonable he should, when the inspector refused to send for bail.—The inspector said he was in toxicated, and that his language was disgraceful.—The defendant, upon being asked what he was, said he was a gentleman living on his own property. Upon being asked whom he would have sent for to bail him, he said more than fifty in the neighbourhood of Bloomsbury. Mr. COOMBE—WeII, if you are a gentleman, I shall fine you 51., which, though the highest penalty I can in. fliot, yet is no punishment to a man of property. • The defendant, who said he had no refreshment since he was locked up, was glad to get his liberty again, and paid the money. Celia Hunt, an elderly female, was charged with creating a disturbance at the house of Henry Lindsay, Esq., No. 6, Claremont-place, Brunswick-square. Mr. Lindsay stated that he answered a knock at his door, and found that the defendant, who represented that she was the aunt of his servant, whom she requested to see. Believing she was a woman that had caused an alarm at his house a few weeks back, which was attended with serious consequences to his wife, he refused her the interview, and desired her to be oft SEe objected to go, and made such an uproar that a mob assembled on the spot, to get rid of which he gave her into custody. The defendant said her niece had given the complainant warning to leave, and the notice expiring that day, she na turally was anxious to know where the girl was going, for if she had been unprovided with a situation she had one for her. She was the only relative in London to whom her niece could apply for protection. She denied ever having been at Mr. Lindsay s house and given the slightest cause of complaint. Mr. Lindsay—My servant is not going to leave me, and she says she does not wish to be interfered with by her Magma. Two gentlemen of the highest respectability here stepped forward. They said they had bailed'the priso ner ; they knew her to he a highly-respectable woman, and they were firmly of opinion that the niece was con fined in Mr. Lindsay's house against her will. Mr. Lindsay denied this. One of the gentlemen—Why not bring the girl here ? Mr. Lindsay—She does not wish to be annoyed. She is happy whore she Another of the defendant's friends suggested to Mr. Combe that she should be sent for, it could not possibly do harm, • Mr. COMBE assented, and he ordered an officer to fetch her, and not to suffer her to hold communication with any one. Mr. Lindsay said he was quite agreeable to thatcourse, but that he should not be able to wait. She was soon brought to the office, and, on being questioned, she said she had felt anxious to see her aunt and to quit her place. The notice which she had given expired on that day, and, if possible, she would get out of the place. She luid never told her master that she did not wish to be interfered with by her family. Mr. COMBE said it was a singular case, and told the servant she would be at liberty to leave her situation when she had done her work. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. NORTHERN CIRCUIT—York, July 15. CIVIL SIDE. (Before Lord DKNMA N. ) HUOILL V. JACKSON. This was an action fora breach of promise of marriage by the defendant to the plaintiff, Mr. Addison conducted the Gate of the pliintig, and Mr. Cresswell, assisted by Mr. Temple, that of the defendant. It appeared front the statement of the Learned Counsel for the plaintiff, and from the evidence of the Witnesses, that the plaintiff is the daughter of O. Mr: echo it it consider able farmer, residing at a fatin called Parke's Farm, near Kirkby-Moonside, in this County, who has also four sons and four other daughterg, of which the plaintiff is the second, and now about the age of 30. The defendant, with his brother and mother, resided on a farm in the same neighbottrhood, a con siderable portion of mhich was freehold, and belonged to the family, and in which the defendant had an interest, the extent of which, however, was not proved. He had also a eupyhold cotta Re and garth of his own. He was about the same age as the plaintiff, and in a similar situation in lifer Some 12 years ago he became a pretty constant Visitot at the house of the plaintifi'sfather, and att intimacy commenced between her and the defendant, which met the approbation of the parents of the lady, and it seemed of the parents of her swain also. However, after the courtship had continued about six years, the lady became pregnant, and as the defendant did not seem inclined to take the only honourable course In such a case, he was forbidden the hem*, and all communica tion between the parties was put an end to. By some means or other the defendant, in the etitirse of the year 1839, contrived to renew the ac4iiiintance, which was dis covered by her brother William, who met them walking to gether on the road. Thinking that it might lead to a proper termination of the affair, he allowed them to meet at his house, having himself become married and removed from his advantage of the opportunitiaess again oiiw apparent him fo t t h a a t t h , e ty e had dft t e a r k e e n n t c fa o t u h r e s r e 's of h t o h u e s e y . e a r T l h B e 4o e o i n t sv,e quenc e, however, was, that in the , Purpose, and another child was born. The plaintiff's brother William spoke to him about his Shameful conduct, and de manded of him if he meant to marry her. The defendant said he would marry her the next Saturday, and would get a license immediately, Preparations were accordingly made for the nuptials, bet , Nnen the day came his fickle genius again p-e- Tle:1, 5'.0 he was not round; an d n othing being heard of hi m Tor ',tree weeks after, this action was commenced. On being served with the declaration in the action, he said that he had promised to marry her, and admitted that he had used her very ill, and that he would marry her. His resolution; however, never got beyond the promise, and the action proceeded, to which he had pleaded, first, the usual plea, that he did not promise ; and secondly, the more singular plea, especially when applied to the cane of a twelve years' courtship, that a reasonable time had not elapsed between the promise and the action to allow him to perform it. Mr. Addison, in addressing the Jury, an • ticipated that his Learned Friend.(Mr. Cresswell) would dwell upon the fact of two children having been born, but he would remind the Jury that this was a wrong of his own doing, for he defied all the world to show that she had been guilty of any other misconduct than that to which she had been seduced by the defendant, and they would never allow him to set up one wrong as a defence or mitigation of another wrong done by him. They would rather treat it as an aggravation of his offence, that he had not only broken his promise to her, but had also placed her in a position in which she could not hope .to find an honourable settlement in life in any other quarter. The evidence having been gone through, Air, CRESSWILL addressed the Jury for the defendant, and RESULT OF THE ELECTIONS. cFrom the Examiner.) r.l: 4 be ebrinte* is sold to the highest bidders.

The extent of the venality exhibited in this election is indeed frightful, but on the other hand admirable is the virtue which has resisted the pre valent corruption, and held its course in despite of all threats and temptations. There are some noble exam ples of-this class, and one of the bravest of them in the instance of the little borough of Wycombe, the electors of which would not consent to change their Members be cause their noble landlord had changed his politics. In Ireland, in places where neither bribery nor inti midation could prevail, the most nefarious contrivances have been resorted to to defraud the voters of their fran chise. By introducing the word " premises " into cer tificates (that is, the qualification being set forth -as for house and premises), and then turning a quibble on it, many qualified voters have been cheated of their suf frage. The account of this knavish trick will be found in another part of our paper. It is sad earnest of what the people of Ireland have to expect from a party whose tools work so foully for its triumph. If such frauds can be committed with impunity, Lord Stanley's Bill for the extinction of the franchise is a work of supererogation. From various causes,- fair and foul, it is undeniable - that the Liberal party have been worsted in this contest, partly through the large defects in the Reform Bill, and also partly by the remissness of Liberals as to the regis tration. The battle has been fought under the disad vantages of the faulty electoral system, and without a full development of the resources belonging to the popu lar party. An up-hill fight has been fought with unre cruited ranks against an enemy having the vantage ground of the preponderance of the landed interest, and having, moreover, cultivated every means, fair and foul, of success. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE IN A STATION-HOUSE. A respectably-dressed man, about sixty years of age, named Thomas Johnson, was charged before Mr. Clive, the sitting Magistrate at Kensington Police Court, with having attempted suicide in the station-house, Kensing ton. It will be in the recollection of our readers that the accused was brought before tile Magistrate on the 10th of May last, on the charge of having deserted his wife and family, and having left them chargeable to the parish. It then appeared that the accused, after having been employed for some time in attendance upon Captain Bark, who had dislocated his shoulder, formed an impro per connection with the elder of Captain Bark's two daughters. Johnson's wife, who at that time washed for the family, discovered what was going on, and threatened to tell Captain Bark, when Miss Bark offered to settle an annuity of 401. a year upon her, if she would do the wash ing in her own house instead of at Captain Bark's as she had been accustomed to do. Miss Bark at that time appeared to doubt Johnson's being a married man, and when the wife showed her the certificate, said that she (Miss Bark) was the only Mrs. Johnson, and no one but her had any right to him. The wife of Johnson was from that time kept by the Misses Bark as much as possible away from the house ; but at last, having no doubt of the proceed ings which were going on, she told Miss Eliza Bark, whom she had reason_ to believe her husband had .also seduced, that Captain Bark should be immediately in formed of what was going on. Upon this Miss Bark eloped with Johnson, and they were discovered in May last residing together at Evesham, near Worcester, Miss Bark being enciente with her third child. Johnson was apprehended, and at his own request he was on that oc casion remanded for two days in order to see if he could not make terms with the Board of Guardians. The Board, however, thought him a fit subject to be made an example of, and he was accordingly sent to hard labour as a rogue and vagabond in the House of Correction for one calendar month. At the completion of his term of imprisonment the defendant's wife and family were taken to the prison, and on his liberation they were handed over to him by the parish officers who left them with him outside the prison. The wife and family, however, soon afterwards became again chargeable to Kensington, the defendant having again deserted them, but nothing further was heard of him until the present charge. Sergeant Eastland, T 17, deposed that about half-past five o'clock on Friday afternoon the defendant came into the charge-room at the station-house, and, asking him how he did, sat himself down in a chair. He had ap parently been drinking a little, and said he came to thank witness and Inspector Smith for the kind way in which they had treated him while in custody. After he had sat a little time the defendant said he intended to make away with himself. Witness took that to be an idle threat, and laughed at it as such, but the defen dant repeatedly said be should do so. He also said that while he was in prison Miss Bark had sent him a letter which contained nothing but an intimation that she bad sent his clothes to his mother's house in Oxfordshir.% On his liberation from confinement, he hastened back to Evesham, but on his arrival there he found Miss Bark had left the neighbourhood suddenly, and had gone no body knew whither. He then returned to town to en deavour to trace her, but all his exertions had been fruitless, and he repeated that unless he found her he would assuredly commit suicide, adding that he had al ready, before he came there, taken some poison, and had some more in his pocket. He then rose up to go away, but witness said he should insist first on seeing if he had any poison about him, when he resisted, and in the struggle the defendant pulled out a small bottle from his waistcoat pocket, which he threw into the fire, and in an instant a large body of flame rushed up the chim ney, but was soon extinguished. The defendant then walked into the yard of the station, and while doing so witness noticed him put his hand into his pocket and pull out a penknife, which he was in the act of opening when witness again seized him, and in the struggle to wrest the knife from him the defendant's fingers were cut across. Defendant was then placed in custody, and Mr. Wright, the union surgeon, sent for, who admi nistered emetics and used other means to get up the poison (laudanum) with success. He was ultimately conveyed to the Union irorkhouse for greater security during the night, from whence he had been brought to the Court that morning. He acknowledged having taken 6d. worth of laudanum, which he had purchased at Westminster. The defendant, in answer to the charge, expressed his sorrow for 'what he had done. He had had a deal o. trouble, which made him hardly know what he did. He had since his return to town been to his wife to see if she would live with him again, but she gave him into the custody of the police for annoying her He, how ever, would pledge himself not to repeat such conduct, but would, if liberated, immediately set off to Oxford shire to his mother and friends. Mr. Clive, upon that condition, allowed him to be dis charged. WOOL WICH-FRIDAY. EXPERIMENTS WITH PERCUSSION SHELLS. At one o'clock, P. M. Lord Bloomfield, Major-General Drummond, C. 8., Director-General of the Royal Artillery Colonel Sir H. D. Ross, K. C. 8., Deputy-Adjutant-General t the Royal Artillery ; Colonel Cockburn, Colonel Paterson Lieutenant- Colonel Dansey, C. 8., Lieutenant-Colonel Dun das, C. 8., and Major Chalmer, of the Royal Artillery, attended in the marshes at Woolwich to witness the experiments with percussion shells, which was deferred till to-day in consequence of two barges anchoring within the range on the former occasion. A number of officers of the Royal Artillery were also present, and a number of strangers from London, and Mr. Reece and Mr. Wilkinson. After waiting nearly an hour before an op portunity offered to fire, owing to the crowded state of the river with vessels passing upwards and downwards, the signal was given that the range was clear, and No. 1, a 32-pounder shell, invented by Mr. Wilkinson, was fired and struck near the top of the mound, passing onwards to the river Thamei, without bursting. No. 2, a 68-pounder shell, invented by Mr. Napier, struck the bulwark, and exploded immediately on passing through, dividing itself into a thousand small fragments, numbers of them en•ering the ground, and apparently spreading eastward and westward betwixt the two bulwarks, the spreading of the smoke at the moment of explosion distinctly showing its action, and the dreadful destruction it must have caused had an ex• plosion of a similar nature taken place on the gun deck of a man-of-war. No. 3, a 32-pounder shell, invented by Mr. Reece, on being fired, exploded soon after it was projected from the mouth of the gun. After waiting until four o'clock it was found impossible to fire the ether rounds, four in number, owing to the great num ber of vessels passing on the river. THE DISCRETIONARY POWER OF THE Po. LICE.—The servant of a very respectable person, re siding in St. Martin's-court, having a lieliday, visited her mother, who, in a quarrel, was grossly insulted ; the girl took up her parent's cause, and, as it wat alleged, scratched the face of the insulter. A policeman was called, and she was given into custody. Her master and mistress went to the Vine-street station-house in: stantly, and the former offered to bail the girl ; the in spector refused to permit this. She was kept in a cell all night, and brought before Mr. Maltby, the Magis trate, in the morning, who said the case was trifling in deed, and fined the girl five shillings. Her master then inquired whether for an offence so slight (the pro Voc ation,. too, being an imputation on her mother's charac ter), bail should not have been taken ? Mr. Maltby said, "Decidedly so ; but it rested with the inspector whether he chose to accept bail or not—it was in his discretion." This is monstrous. Locking up young and innocent girls for trifling indications of temper, or al leged assaults, is a favourite pastime with the police. A responsible man should sit at every station-house, and the liberty of a defenceless girl not be left to the discre tion of an inspector, who may be (and most probably is) an ignornnt man, and too often proves a brutal and li centious one. In this case the only complaint is the re fusal to accept bail, but that in itself was a harsh and cruel proceeding.—Sun - day Times. .

A plan has been recently ann o u nced of 3 0 of road from Strasburg to Haguenau.
