EVENING suy el he CHAIRMAN was clearly of opinion that the worthy Pr, prietor was entitled to put the question. He could as: ure the meeting that it was the wish of the Directors and bimself to answer every question.—(Cheers.) Mr. GOLDSWORTHY could not understand what Mr. Taylor meant by stating that he (Mr. G.) had come into the concern as a pauper ; all he knew was, that he had paid upwards er 4,0001. into the concern.—(Hear.) Mr. TAYLOR said that he had made no personal ob servations with respect to the worthy Proprietor ; when he spoke he did not even look at the worthy Froprietor. The CHAIR3LAN was most anxious that the question put by Mr. Goldsworthy should be answered by Mr. Freshfield. Mr. FRESWIELD had no objection to answer the ques tion, althorgh, ordinarily speaking, it was inconvenient to answer questions upon technicalities in such meetings as the present. If he understood Mr. Goldsworthy, he had stated that oyer had been demanded, and that he (Mr. Freshfield) had objected to it. There could be no tloubt that the defendant was entitled to oyer of every decd in the declaration, but in the present instance Mr. Goldsworthy demanded not only oyer of the deeds but e• eery declaration made at the back of it. On the case going before a Judge, he thought Mr. Goldsworthy was not entitled to have his application granted, and dismissed it with costs. When he (Mr. F.) was asked for copies of the resolution, he offered to give them instantly. Major RacmannsoN wished to know whether the oyer which was demanded was not the endorsement of the different alterations in the clauses in the deed of settlement, by which the Company attempted to enforce the payment of the calls by means of the law, and whether they were not refused when demanded, unless the So licitor would at once admit that all these alterations and amendments were done legally?—('Hear, hear.) Mr. RICARDO thought the present was a most incon venient proceeding ; the Company were at law with these very gentlemen, and they ought not to be allowed to put questions to the legal adviser of the Company. The CHAIRMAN said it was for the Proprietors to de termine whether the question should be answered or not- Major RICHARDSON said he would withdraw the question, because he had the letter of Mr. Freshfield before him, which admitted it. The CHAIRMAN was about to put the original reso lution and amendment to the meeting, when Mr. GREEN stated that he wished to make a few ob servations. He wished to know whether it was good policy. when the shares of the Company were hawked upon the Stock Exchange, for gentlemen to undertake the liability of Shareholders? He would ask whether it was to be supposed, when half-crown men came forward to interrupt the regular proceedings of the Company, their motives were either conscientious or honest ? (Hear, hear.) The most villanous circulars had been sent to the Proprietors. He would not say the reports against the gentlemen were true, but this he knew, that they . had been charged with circulating them, and there fisre it lay with them to prove they were false.—(Hear, hear.) The Hon. Proprietor then referred to a letter written by a Mr.. Bailey, who stated himself to be Secre tary to the United Shareholders, and challenged ,that gentleman to - prove the correctness of its contents.-- (Hear, hear.) The letter emanated through the circum stances of the Report being printed and distributed among the Proprietors. The parties reporting were gentlemen of the highest honour and standing in the City of Losidon ; men without taint on their character. —(Hear, hear.) When they made their Report, it was a Report which was the best they could 'make, and the reflection which had been cast upon them were extremely unjust, but upon that the Proprietors must come to their own conclusion, and then they would consider the equity of the present proceed ings on the part of certain Proprietors.—(Hear, hear.) 'The worthy Proprietor then read the letter of Mr. Bailey. which appeared in The Sun of Tuesday last. The CHAIRMAN interrupted Mr. Green during the time he was rending Mr. Bailey's letter, and suggested, that as all the Shareholders had had a copy of it, per haps it would. be as well if, to save time, Mr. Green would confine himself to commenting upon it. Neither Rte nor Mr. Horsley Palmer cared much for the contents .of that document.—(Cries of " Read, read.") He begged -to state he had merely interfered to save time. There could be no objection to Mr. Green reading the whole of the document. Mr. GREEN then concluded the reading of the letter amidst considerable interruption. Now, there were many .assertitms in that document, which, on the face of them, were gross falsehoods ; and, looking at the meetin g a t whieh'it WLI3 concocted (a report of which appeared in the Mining Journal), he must say that it was one of the most extraordinary meetings that ever had been held. Major Richardson was iu the chair. At that meeting it Iliad been stated' that the property of the Company was - utterly valueless. A gentleman, named Goldsworthy, was also present. He knew not if he were present now. Mr. GOLDSWORTHY—Yes, here I am. Mr. GREEN—It appeared from that reper6 that a gen tleman named Jackson— Mr. JA.CE:BoN—Behold him here.—(Loud laughter, elerers, anti great confusion.) Mr. GREEN—At that meeting he would contend Mr. Jackson had not stated taiat the property was valueless. Mr. Jackson had never made any suck statement.--(Uproar.) .It was absolutely necessary, in all welt conducted Cum panies, to protect the Shareholder who paid the whole of his calls, by commencing proceedings against these ho w had not paid. There was certainly a difficulty in :dopting such a course, and that was, that it was impos sible to distinguish between those who could not, and ;those who would not, pay ; and, therefore, it was their duty to proceed against the whole. Ail those persons had taken their shares prepared to take a till idend of 10 per c elit e & though it appeared that it wasnot their intention to pay up all their calls.—(Hear.) Now what right had much persons to take a prominent part in their proceed ings ?—(Hear.) What right had they to be present ? 'They had spoken of taking vengeance in the Court of Chancery. But those gentlemen who had rurchased their shares at 2s. 6d. a piece, would, hM was•sure, be the very hat to take them into the Court ofChaneery. The Courtof Chancery would not benefit. them, for they had become 'Shareholders with the determination to destroy the pro peley of the Company. The resolution they wished to pro pose was to dissolve the Company immediately. Now, what an idea wee that, to dissolve a large Company of such a nature immediately ! If the gentlemen had been hired by sonte large iron factor in the back ground, who was deFerous of taking_ advantage of the misf or t unes of the Corn puny, th e y cou ld not have done it better. He begged ti AI Proprietors not to be led away. Dissolve the Coin- truly immediately ? How were their debts to be paid C Was it a just or honest course to pursue ? They Jhould place the Di rec t ors i n th e same situation as ti eamselves. The iron trade was at present in a d readfully distressed state, and if they were to vie Jo their works they would depreciate the value of their property, if not destroy it. The Directors ad stated their desire that the Company should 'ultimately be dissolved. lie also would like to see the *dissolution of the Company, but he should like to see sit done with honour. It was impossible to carry out the resolution for immediate dissolution. Before they did so they must put th e Directors in a situation to (to 80 with honour and honesty,. and to do that they must pay up their instalments. • Ut.til they did that they were acting dishonestly by the Directors, dishonestly by the Shareholders who had paid up their instalments, an d were placing the Directors in a situation in which tl ,ey ought not to be placed. Mr. HonstAlY PeLezeat asked if there was any gentle -man present who was present at the meeting of the United Shareholders, at which the document alluded to had been agreed to? Major ItICHARDSON had been present. Mr. HORSLEY PALMER—Then, Sir, that document as serts a positive falsehood. I never t • eccived any conside rsition of value, except the usual quarterly allowance of eesl. I never received a piece of plate from the COM pany in my life. Major RICIIARDSON---It was never said YOU received it. It was only said th at i t was presented to you. — (Cries of " Oh ! oh !" and " Shame 1 shame 1" mi ng l e d with cheers and great co n f us i on.) Mr. BAnNETT had been a member of the Committee alluded to in the document which had been read. The n t e nts of that document "ere so contemptible that.ihe nthatt should have thought it unworthy of hi s notice it and was had it not been for the charges brought againsti hChairmandocument the Deputy Chair man. Now, asked, what was the statement of profit and loss from the Company with t h e house of Mr. the dealings of Horsley Palmer, for the last sixteen years ; and then b followed the stateme nt, to which all been on had been made, of a piece of p late havin g present e d to Mr. Horsley Palmer by his colleagues. Now, the first of these passages was an insinua tion—the second was a direct charge. With re gard to the first, he had directed extracts to be made from the books of the Company of all the transactions which had taken place between the Company Cern las p t an t y hre a e nd .o the house of Mr. Horsley Palmer fe In the course of that time Mr. r t Horsley a ha s a given orders to the Company to grant 9 05,000/ (Cheers)—and for that Mr. Horsley Palmer had received not the slightest advantage, either directly or indirectly. The contracts had been made at the full d been a profit price, and the result to the Company ba of 13,0001.—(Cheers.) With regard to the assertion, the first complimentary notice of the services of Mr. Palmer, was in the year 1838, on the loth of July, when u Committee of Proprietors, composed of - Robert Barnett, Samuel Hoare, John Jeffery-, William Parker, John Peter Basch, Charles Bayley, Thomas Wilson, Thomas Warre, S. Marjoribanks, Hyde Parker, Jtinn Mortice, and Charles Parr Burney : " The Committee cannot close their Report without meknowledginee the invaluable and important services rendered to the Company by the Chairman and Deputy chairman, J. Horsley Valmer, Esq., and G. G. de H. Larpent, ES Q .. as well as. the assistance of the Directors generally, in superintending the affairs of the Company. (Signed) " THOMAS WILSON, Chairman. The next notice was in 1833, just after the decision of Lord Lyndhurst became known. A Committee, corn ' 'sell of Samuel Hoare, J. P. Wilson, John Morrice, bert Barnett, Francis Ricardo, Charles Parr Burney, IS. Marjoribanks, R. Small Charles Gibbes, and W. T. Hibbert:—.. Resolved, " That this Committee cannot conclude their labours without expressing their high sense of obligation to Mr. Palm er for the very important services he has rendered to the Company in a season of despondency and gloom, when loss and disappointment awaited them at every turn. an d when the question of immediate dis solution was prop ose d . As the only means of averting utter ruin, Mr. Palmer was induced to assume the ma nagement, and by character talent, and assistance, on frequent occasions of extreme emergency, was enabled to change the aspect o f affairs, and to restore confidence to the dispirited PFoprietary. " The Committe,e gladly avail themselves of the pre sent opportunity of recording these services, and of re commending to the Proprietors that a piece of plate worthy of his ,acceptance should be, presented to Mr. Palmer, at itny time t hey sh ou ld think most opportune, testimM a the high fesPeet in Which his character is held, and as an expression of their acknowledgments to him for all the important benefits he has conferred. (Signed) " S. INIARJORI3ANKS, "In the absence of the Chairman of the Committee." In consequence of that • resolution, a member of the Committee had waited upon Mr. Palmer,. who had re fused to accept the plate.—(Loud cheers.) Now, he would ask any honourable man, was it not monstrous that the Committee of the United Shareholdei s should dare to put forth such a slanderous falsehood ? He was merely anxious to show how little reliance could be placed on the statement of that gentleman, and he hoped it would show the Shareholders the absurdity of follow in.. such a leader blindfold any longer. follow ing SHEARS would only occupy their time for a few minutes. The great object of the present meeting was to take into consideration the dissolution of the Com pany. It was not the first time such a motion had been submitted to th&n, nor would it be the last, because if carried, it must be submitted to another meeting for confirmation. There had he believed been enough of discussion to show in what partYthe Proprietors ought to repose confidence. So far as he could ascertaiu,he believed there was no difference of opinion as to the propriety of 1 taking steps to wird up the affairs of the Company. The mode in which that should be carried into effect was the point upon which the difference of opinion existed. If ttiey adopted the resolution which had been put forward in the requisition for the immediate dissolu tion of the Company, let them consider what a ruinous position they placed themselves in. It would debar the Proprietors from all power of protecting the interests of the Shareholders. The other resolution, which had now been moved as an amendment, was to the same effect, but would not leave the property of the Com pany without protection. It appeared to him that it would be madness (if he might use such a term) in the Proprietary to support such a resolution as that which would go to the immediate dissolution of the Com pany, and for that reason he should feel bound to hold up his hand in favour of the amendment. Major RICHARDSON said the discussion of that ques tion had not yet come before the meeting, but he would now answer for himself. He was aware of the great advantage it would give the gentlemen to whom he was opposed, and conscientiously opposed, if they were enabled to knock down the leader.—(Hear, hear.) That individual, however, was powerless in himself, and it was only the large number of highly respectable Shareholders by whom he was supported that gave him strength. He was rejoiced at the attack that had been so publicly made upon him, because it afforded him an opportunity of de nouncing all that had been uttered against him as base and infamous falsehood. He had had nothing to do with the Poyais scheme—it was set on foot by General M‘Gregor and others ; when he became a shareholder he knew nothing of the circumstances, but the moment he did he called a public meeting, and exposed the whole fraud.—(Hear, hear.) For that he had been voted thanks, and now, after 17 or 18 years, no aspersions that might be cast upon him as regarded that question could hurt him.—(Hear, hear.) He knew well that it they could escape accounting for themselves the Directors would be very glad to attack him, but he was ready to meet them. (One of the Directors here laughed.) He could assure that gentleman that he would make him laugh with the wrong side of his mouth.—(Laughter.) The statement that he had bought his shares for half a crown each was false, and an infamous lie, and he would refer in corroboration of that statement, to the books of one of the most respect able stock-brokers in the City. So far from that being the case, he had lost 150/ by his shares, and it was false to say that he came there with the object of gaining one penny. He would ask the Hon. Gentleman who had spoken of Poyais, whether he had heard anything of Spanish and Greek loans, and who were the con. tractors and concoctors of those schemes ? With regard to the piece of plate which had been alluded to, he took it for granted that it had been presented to Mr. Palmer when he saw it entered on the books, and he was glad the statement had been made, as it afforded Mr. Palmer an opportunity of denying it.—(Cries of " Shame.") Mr. BARNARD said it was a proposal to the Proprie tors to give a piece of plate to Mr. Palmer. Major RICHARDSON hoped he would be allowed to make a few more observations. The question before them was, whether the account and Report which had been read to the meeting should be printed and circulated 'among the Proprietors, in order that they might under stand how they should vote. To that an amendment had been moved by Mr. Ricardo. The object of the meeting was to consider whether the Proprietors under all circumstances were in a position to dissolve the Company immediately or not. All that he (Major Richardson) wanted was to have passed some resolution which would fix a time for the liabilities of the Proprietors to be paid. That could be done as easily now as twelve months hence. As regarded the law of the question, a great deal had been said bearing upon the actions brought against the Shareholders. He (Major R.) had said so twelve months ago, and be now repeated it, that no action could be sustained against a Shareholder for the payment of the calls made on him by the Company, until an account was taken of the debts and liabilities of the Company. The SOLICITOR of the Company here observed that that was not the law as regarde..l this Company. Major RICHARDSON said he would prove it to be so, and he would tell the Proprietors, who so wished, not to be afraid to vote on the present occasion. Those who had not paid the last calls were fully entitled to vote, and he called on those who did not wish to be harrassed by law-suits to vote for his resolution. The CHAIRMAN said that, as a ballot had been de- manded on the question, he would state the original re solution and amendment to it. Ile then road them to the meeting, and said that, conformably with the 10th clause of the Company's deed, he would fix a day for taking the ballot, and that day should be Thursday-, the 25th inst., between the hours of twelve and three o'clock, at the Company's Office. Major RICHARDSON then called the attention of the meeting to the fact of actions at law having been brought against some Shareholders for refusing to pay' the late calls made on them, and to the grounds of de fence which the parties sued had adopted, and referred to the conduct of Mr. Hooper, who, to avoid being harrassed by law proceedings paid the calls made on him. but paid them under a protest, which he would be glad , to hear read. The CHAIRMAN could not admit of the paper, which the Hon. Proprietor adverted to, being read. Major IlicnAuDsoN then read the resolution which he meant to propose. It was to the effec, that in or der to save the finances of the Company, no action or suit at law should be entered into by the Company till the actions now pending between certain Shareholders anzl the Directors had been decided. Mr. Wm. JONES seconded the resolution. The CIIAIRMAN having put the question, Mr. TAYLOR said, that the resolution now proposed seemed to him nothing but a demand on the part of cer tain persons owing money to the Company that the Com pany should not sue them for it. Ilajor RICHARDSON was astonished that a person of such acuteness as the Hon. Proprietor, who had just sat down, should attach such a meaning to the words of the resolution. After a few words from Mr. GREEN, The CHAIRMAN said, that since the resolution had been read, a ballot had been demanded on it ; and he, therefore, according to the clause of the Company's decd before mentioned, appointed the same place and time which he had fixed for the ballot on the former resolu tion—namely, Thursday the 25th inst., at the Company's offices, between the hours of twelve and three o'clock. Major RICHARDSON —As the Ballot had been demanded he trusted that every Shareholder would go forward and offer his vote, whether he had paid his calls or not, let them try the question and let it be set at rest. He would now move that all calls made over 501. per share are illegal, and that no more be made. The CHAIRMAN—That cannot be put, no notice having been given. Major RICHARDSON would then move that the calls paid by certain shareholders over 501. having been paid in ignorance, should be repaid.—(Cries of " Oh, oh.") The CHAIRMAN hoped that some end would be put to such scenes ; they were disgraceful, and were destroying the character and trade of the Company. Mr. TAYLOR—If the actions against the recusant Shareholders should be settled in their favour, as a matter of course those who have overpaid will he repaid. Mr. 11. PALMER said there was a great mistake on that point in the minds of many. It was a mistake to suppose that every Shareholder was not liable for all the debts of the Company. If the funds should run short the whole of the Shareholders must contribute. Mr. JACKSON had a resolutign to propose, but before doing so he begged to ask Mr. Palmer whether Messrs. rh 1 4, r!s o litield were not his private solicitors ?—(Cries of 2 That it Well, he would propose a resolution Palmer, against titofishmtehsesros.pipnrioenshofifeitdhewmaeseatinngimthparotptehre ap pointmentope to tal: inasmuch as ey were the private solicitors of Mr. H. elel whom the Court might think it neces saryglad he had amused Major nien t r i: g roceedings. should amuse him tle seconded the resolution.

Mr. WILKINSON felt glad this objection had been made by the party b y whom it had been, as it showed most clearly that the shoe pinched in the proper place. The CHAIRMAN then put the resolution to the meeting, and upon a show of hands declared it to be negatived. Major RICHARDSON, in proposing a resolution, t o the effect that the annual allowance to the Directors should be discontinued, observed, that the strictest eco nonly ought to be enforced by the Company, as there could be no doubt the concern was insolvent. It was losing mosey every day, and during the last half year there had been a loss of no less than 14 , 0001 . Mr. JONES seconded the resolution. The CHAIRMAN, in putting the resolution to the meeting, would ask the Proprietor s whether it was right for the meeting to permit one of the Proprietors to talk of the insolvency of the Company ? .As for the salaries, to the Dir ec t ors , he was sure to some of the m it was no consideration, and, for himself, he cared not for it. He should have resigned his situation in the Direction ten years ago had it not been for the hope that he might be able to benefit the concern. With respect, how ever, to the Directors, who were obliged to attend daily, he thought their salaries ought to be continued. With respect to those gentlemen he would only say, that he congratulated the, Company in having such faithful serpents . There was another gentleman to TIE SUN, LONDON. SATTJUDAY, N`OVEIViIIEIt 20, 1841. whom he must allude, whose services ought to be # highly appreciated by the Company ; he alluded to Mr. Wilson, who had done more for the Company than any other person, and that, too, at a most inadequate remunera tion.—(Hear, hear.) He was sure that no resolution like the present ought to be entertained with respect to him and the other gentlemen he had alluded to. As to him self, and some of the other Directors, they would gladly give up their salaries. The worthy Chairman then put the resolution to the meeting, and upon a show of hands declared it to be negatived. Mr. WILKINSON moved that the meeting should ad journ, as its time had been occupied in a most useless manner. The motion having been seconded, the meeting im mediately broke up. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE DAILY PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. GLOBE.—When, to bolster up a vicious and in creasingly injurious system, whether of political economy or of public morals, it becomes necessary for its advo cates to rack invention for new fallacies in its support, it is not to be wondered at if they occasionally overleap the bounds of ordinary discretion, and by presum• ing too largely on the extent of the credulity of their dupes, create in them a salutary suspicion of the system itself, and of the sincerity of those who have recourse to such means to uphold it in public opinion. Something like this will, we think, result from the insidious efforts of the Post, in an article specially addressed to " the aristocracy and gentry," in its columns of to-day. The object of the article is two-fold—the first, to persuade these generally too easily convinced persons, that the daily and hourly increase of deep and devastating distress among the operative manufacturers and artisans in the various trades, is attributable to causes perfectly unconnected with the restrictive commercial system, which is upheld for the interest of the landowners—the second, that the sufferers from this system of monopoly would be con tent to endure the privations and sufferings, present and prospective, which it inflicts, were it not for " the com ments on public affairs put forth by " diabolical miscreants," as the Post pleases to designate those who differ from its views on the Corn-laws, and who thus call public attention to their practical results. Satisfied that the exiting system of monopoly in food is the source of much of the demoralisation, penury, and absolute want, which, to an unexampled extent, overspreads the country, we shall proceed in the course of duty which reason, religion, and humanity alike prescribe and sanction. If perseverance in what we believe to be an important public duty, rendered doubly imperative by the peculiar circumstances of the times, subject us to the vilifying reproaches of our Con temporary, we determine to become viler still. ST AN DARD.—Our respected Irish Contemporary, the Dublin Evening Mail, charges some of the London Journals with sneering at and insulting the Irish Con servative party ; and with doing so "by order." We believe that the charge is unjust in every case, but it were presumptuous to affect to answer for any but ourselves. We freely acknowledge the utmost con tempt for that Conservative party, if there is one, which contemplates official arrangement of any kind as the primary object of political exertion ; our notion of Conservatism respects the security of the rights which men have, not the offices which any person likes to have, or thinks he ought to have ; and the gallant stands made so often in Ireland for the protection of rights—the latest in the case of the Corporation—proves that there is a noble Conservative party in Ireland entitled to all our admiration and reverence ; and if we dis like the bastard Conservative party—the place bunting and sordid, though it may call itself the aristocratic, Irish Conservative party—it is be cause it has never lost an opportunity of betraying the true Conservatives. But it is unjust to the com mon cause to call the place-hunters a party—they are nothing of the kind:---they are a knot of men who huve -obtained a false confidence in England, as the supposed Conservative leaders, and have obtained as false a confidence in Ireland, by untruly representing themselves as the intimate associates of the great Con servatives in England. Their late explosion will do much to expose this double cheat. As to " writing by order," we, for ourselves, can sit at case under the imputation. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, Nov. 19. MITFORD V. REYNOLDS. The arguments in this part-heard appeal were resumed to-day, but had not concluded when the Court rose. We have already given in detail the facts of the case. The case will be proceeded with to-morrow (this day). Mr. KINGSLatt; saia that iii thiS ease the plaintiff ap. peared before them by his Counsel, to ask of them re paration for a very serious injury, which had nearly proved fatal, and was caused by the negligence of the defendants, or their servants. The defendants and Ahers, were the owners of the Father Thames steam boat, which plies between London Bridge and Gravesend. And he need not tell the Jury it was the duty of the Company to provide proper places for embarka tion and disembarkation, so that human life should not be plaCed in the imminent danger which he should show his client had been exposed to. The accident of which be had to complain occurred at the Old Swan Pier. at London-bridge, whence the Father Thames started, on the .22d of May last. They would remember that a pier at that place runs out into the river, at the end of which was what is called the " dummy" or barge, which rises and falls with the tide, and from this to the steam boat a gangway board was placed for the passengers to pass to and fro. On the day in question Mr. Sharp was coming from the Father Thames, and the board had been so negligently placed, that when he reached the centre of it, it gave way, and he was thrown into the river, the tide at that time running down very strong. The life of the plaintiff was in the utmost peril; be sank two or three times, and most fortunate it was that the board fell.with him, by which he succeeded in keepirig his head above the water until a waterman of the name of Loder, succeeded in rescuing him from his dangerous situation, and conveyed him in a deplorable state to the Swan, where every attention was paid to him and medical assistance procured. It would be no part of the duty of the Jury to inquire whether there had been negligence in the case, for the defendants admitted it, and they were responsible for the codsequences. They might have dis ,:rted it. but they had been properly advised not to do so. The evidence would prove that the gangway board had not been secured by any lashing, which was necessary, or a watchfulness would be required of the passengers which the Company had no right to Niemand. It would be for the Jury to say what compensation the plain tiff was to receive for the serious injuries which he had sustained, injuries from which he had not yet recovered, .and which he might not be able to get rid of for years. As soon as the plaintiff was sufficiently recovered, he was taken home to his residence at Chel sea, when, from the shock and nervous debility attendant upon it, he was confined for a month, and unable to at tend to his business. This would be a part of the claim, as well as the charge for the necessary medical attend ance. But this was not all, for in the desperate struggle for his life, and :when he was rolling over in the water, he had grasped the board with such force, that his arm and hand were very much injured, and lie was unable to use it as he had done before. Witnesses were then called in proof of these state ments, and the Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff— Damages 451. INSOLVENT DEBTOR'S COURT, Nov. 19. IN TILE ZIATTER OF WILLIAM LEACH. The insolvent in this case was a brush-maker, residing in Prospect-place, Bow, and appeared on his petition to be discharged. He was supported by Mr. Woodroffe, and opposed on behalf of several creditors by Mr. Cooke. It appeared that he had been some time in business, and gave a person into custody on an unfounded charge of felony, for which an action for damages was insti tuted, and to avoid the consequences, he removed pri vately from his former place of residence to that de scribed in his schedule. , Previous to this transaction, it was alleged that he had borrowed various sums of money from his mother, for which he executed a bill of sale in her favour, conveying to her all his household furniture and stock in trade ; and when setting up in business in Bow, he said she allowed him the use of them . for a cer tain weekly payment. He then got into' debt to a large amount for goods supplied by several merchants in the Russian trade, and retired (according to his own state ment) to the country, during which time his mother took away all the property by virtue of the alleged bill of sale, although it was stated by the landlord that he was seen removing goods to his mother's residence. When his books were handed into Court, many of the figures on them were found to be written in a kind of short-hand, or hieroglyphics. ' His mother was examined at great length, and said, that although she was able to write, she never kept a regular account of the monies she lent her son, but " used to write them down on the kitchen wall." The Learned COMMISSIONER said this was a case which called for the marked censure of the Court. He should, therefore, order the insolvent to be remanded for twelve months. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARLBORO UG H-STREET. Mr. Ingram, landlord of the Three Tuns public-house, Rupert-street, was summoned before Mr. Hardwick by the police for having his house open after twelve o'clock on Saturday night. Police Sergeant Valiance stated, that he went into the defendant's house. about half-past twelve on Saturday night, and found persons assembled in the parlour, tap ropm, and before the bar, in number between twenty and thirty. Some of the persons were smoking. • Mr. Ingram; in answer to the charge, said his house was a house of call for bakers, a class of persons whose work did not cease until a very late hour, and they, as a tn-atter of comic, had no other time for refreshment ban after the period of their daily labours. The persons seen by the police were lodgers, and one or two neigh heurs,sbut though some were smoking none were drink ing, and he could prove that he did not draw a drop of any kind of liquorafter twelve o'clock. Mr. HARDWICK said it was idle to plead that the num ber of persons found in the house were lodgers. That was a common excuse with all publicans, and deserved as little attention as the excuse of beggars, that they were not begging but selling lucifer matches. Mr. Ingrain said he had 16 lodgers in his house, and on Saturday night, in particular, he frequently had to accommodate four or five and twenty. Mr. HAnDwicx replied it was his duty to clear his house by 12 o'clock. If the lodgers would not retire to their rooms, he had the resourc e of putting out the lights, and this would oblige, them to disperse. Mr. HARDWICK having inquirell if the defendant had been summoned before, was informed that he had been summoned - a few weeks ... ago for keeping open during Divine service, and let MI on payment•of the expenses: Mr. HARDWICK—I fine the defendant 21. now, and if he is brought here again I shall put on the full penalty of fl. —The money was immediately paid. The next case was against Mr. Slograve, landlord of the White Horse,Jittpert-street, for a like offence. Police Serjeant Valiance proved that after half-past 12 o'clock he went into the defendant's house, and found a number of persons in the tap-room and parlour with measures containing gir and beer before them. As the defendani had been fined two years back for some offence, the penalty of 40;. was inflicted and paid: . _ The third case was ag: , .inst Mr. Shandon, Horse and Groom, Jlichmond-street. In this case the police sergeant proved that seven per sons were in the parlour, some of whom were amusing themselves at a game of chess. The landlord said the company were his lodgers, and they had no drink served to them after 12 o'clock. Mr. HARDwIcK was informed that the house was well conducted, and no complaint had been made before. The reduced fine of 10i. was inflicted and paid. FROM LAST NIGHT'S GAZETTE. COURT OF EXCHEQUER.

VIOE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, Nov. 19 His Honour the VICE-CHANCELLOR Of ENGLAND was occupied the whole day with unopposed petitions, short causes, and the further arguments on the part-heard case of Salisbury v. Morrice. The arguments in the latter ease were not concluded, and will be resumed to-morrow (this day). (Before Vice-Chancellor KNIGHT BnucE.) RYAN V. DANIEL. His HoNoun (in continuation from our Evening, Edition of yesterday) said—He was nut satisfied that at the time they were meant as contracts, in the legal or equitable sense of the term. It was very probable that neither of the parties understood what they were doing. He was not satisfied that the instruments Were not testamentary ; but on that, however, any positive opinion was not ne cessary.. Looking, however. to the nature of the instru ments, the probable ages and position of the parties in society, and at the correspondence at a very remote period from the transaction, which took place relative to it between them, in which they expressed:a wish either to cancel the contract, or have it completed in a legal form ; it was impossible for the Court to treat the debt as an equitable one, as it was not a legal debt. If it were a legal debt, of which he was not satisfied, it would be his duty to give effect to it as against the de fendant's assets ; but in his view of the case he could not do so. He therefore proposed to retain the bill for twelve months before the Court, with liberty to bring an action. Mr. BoTELEr. (with - whom was Mr. Wmcocx) having argued the defendant's case at some length, IloNouß repeated the observations given above, and said that lie could not take from the plaintiff the right to prove the legality of the debt, and he should therefore decree that the bill be retained twelve months, with liberty to bring an action; and if the plaintiff should bring an action within six weeks from this day, upon the alleged debt stated in the bill, let the defen dant for the purposes of that action admit that it was commenced on the day when the present bill was filed. HOARE V. HORNBY. In this cause, William O'Brien Hoare was the plaintiff, and William Ilornby, the defendant. The bill ref, rred to a marriage settlement, of which the defendant was the trustee. The object of the bill was to have it declared that the plaintiff was absolutely emitted to the sum of 2,700/, and any other sums now in the ha::ds of Clu defendants. Mr. CuANDLrat appeared for the infants, under the marriage of the plaintiff with his wife. After some discussion amongst Counsel, as to the right of the several parties interested under the settlement. His Hotcoutt ordered that it ba referred to the Master, to inquire what sum or SUMS were in the hands of the trustee, and whether Caroline Hornby, now Mrs. Hoare, had any and what interest in the same at the date of the marriage settlement, the Master to be at liberty to state special circumstances, and the inquiries to be con ditional upon the Master finding that all the children were before the Court., SCAAVIN V. SCAWIN. The plaintiff in this case was William Scawin, the fa ther of the late husband of the defendant, Sarah Scawin. The other defendants were the Managers of the York City and. County Banking Company, and the object of the bill was to compel the defendant, Sarah Scawin, to transfer to the plaintiff fifty shares in that Bank, and to have it declared that James Scawin, the late hua band of the defendant, was trustee for the plaintiff of tho said fifty shares. Evidence was read by the Counsel for the plaiutiff to show that the husband of the defendant had never been entitled to the shares. On the part of the defendant it was contended that in the purchase of the shares, there had been an evident intention on the part of the father to advance his son, and that, the presumption of law, therefore, was in the defendant's favour. His HoNoun. gave judgment for the plaintiff, without costs.—The Court rose shortly after four o'clock. (Before Vice-Chancellor WIGRAM.) BOWSER V. COLEY. The Court was occup.ed the whole of the day in hear ing the arguments and receiving exhibits in this cause. The case does not appear to be one of such public inte rest as will justify us in giving more than a brief outline of his Lordship's judgment, which we shall do when it is pronounced. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Nov. 19. JOHNSON V. FAULKNER. In this case an action had been brought against the defendant, who held a rent-charge of the plaintiff,' for having seized a quantity of hay and corn by virtue of the authority given him upon the aforesaid rent-charge, and a verdict had been given iu favour of the plaintiff. Mr. Richards had obtained a rule calling on the plaintiff to show cause why that verdict should not be set aside, and a new verdict had, on the ground of mis direction, as the statute of William and Mary provided that hay and corn were not liable to distress. Mr. MARTIN, on the part of the plaintiff, now showed cause, and contended that, although the Act of William and Mary provided that hay and corn should be exempt from a warrant of distress, still, subsequent Acts had provided that in such cases where the property could be restored in the same plight as when seized, such seizure should b e goo d. The statute of William and M ar y prov i ded that no distress s h ou ld be made upon hay and corn in consequence of its being not returnable in the same plight as when seized. But the distress in the present case did not come under that statute, as the hay and corn in question Isere seized in a car t, an d t h erefore could b e returne d in the same state as when seized. Mr. Ricus.ans having replied, the Court took time to consider. SECONDARIES'SHARPv.L COURT,ntsi AND A N O N T j o i v E . R . 19 . This was an action to recover compensation of the defendants who . are managing Di rectors o f the Th am es Steam Navigation Company, for injuries sustained by the plaintiff through their negligence.—The damages were Mid at 1,0001.

Hugil delivered a lecture" on the life of Dr. Franklin, the P r r ° s , ceeds -to be applied on behalf of the London Pension Society. The lecture was announced t° menco at half-past seven o'clock, but long before se' the house was crowded by a very respectable ,audie°ce,.. The Mayor, with a number of the Town Coupe rat tended, and several clergymen were seated on the OW form. The lecturer was received with loud applau'4 and, after stating the reasons which induced him to oc , - cupy the position in which he then stood, gave a sil ' art ; history of the celebrated individual who was the subje ct of his lecture , making a few comments as he proceeded on, his submission to parental authority. He then-I'6n toern. s poke 01 his scientific labours, dwelling on the subject of lightning conductors, and found fault with the authorities of Live r : pool for not having conductors on the churches of Michael's and St. Martin's, which were struck by light ning during the summer. He quoted largely. Doctor's own writings with regard to his religious belief , and animadverted at some length on what he called the Deism of the Doctor. The Reverend Gentleman cen:f eluded by calling on America to follow the examP le n i ) „ England with regard to slavery. Alluding to Dr. Fra , lie's visit to London, and pointing to the press at wilt': the Doctor worked whilst there; which was standing _ from th e 1,, the stage, he said, " This is the link whichconnects tne name of Franklin with the Printers' Pension See.'etso a Society well-deserving of your hind, your grateful a ec),' 'lir. support, for let me ask to what c lass of th fo r 'nullity are we so much indebted, instr uinentaliv, our best, our purest enjoyment: —for our highest' ritss proyements, personal, national, or reli,,,,eious—to what c he of the community are we more indebted than to . t- s printers ? It is true the printing press, whilst it gl e ry. out good wheat, also scatters abroad the tares, but til e r , it is with the printer as with the rock in the wil d l ts ness. It is painful to reflect, that whilst it transM, the sweet water to many, he himself s hould c°, 11 ,„ 0 nun dry and parched—that the compositor by 1 ` 1 ";.. nightly toil so many are daily gratified , should, ° r„ e r e mature decrepitude, arising from the unhealthy t'am. of his employment, be dismissed, not onl y by his.tee ployer, for it would he wrong to expect hi m to conto„,l to pay him when he was obliged to emp lo y others, 7e,t dismissed by the public without any provision what.ei:iset being made for him. It was to benefit and to synlll3l with those unobtrusive objects that the Printers re°,si(4) Society was first established—established first of ', London, and now, I believe, a branch of it is forme°, 1 and Liverpool, and if it be managed judiciously, w eil I honestly, I would strongly commend it to your efl,`,:rae and grateful support." At the conclusion of the lec` ed - A Philip Schuyler, Esq., the American Consul , prop° a. vote of thanks to the Rev. H. M'Neile for the a ble - dress he hod just delivered, with a reques t that a copy b i e r thereof might be given for publication, in a P in , 4 1) 04 form. Mr. J. B. Murray seconded the motion , 5 ', 0 0 that the profits of the publication of the here and in America, should be given to the Fritnivir Pension Society. Motion unanimously carr ied' pool Mercury. _ Pamphlet, ter3 -f•t' MELANCHOLY OCCURRE — d oble s A man, named Thomas Shackell, one of the e° l/ "ofie e ' belonging to the P division of the metropolita n /P ie. has, within the last few days, been carried to the oth er hem Hospital, in a state of madness, occasioned bY 0 . for' melancholy circumstances. The poor fellow `lolli le merly attached to one of the country divisions, 101 ",4,4 on his duty, he found two men in the act of plus the-,, re' barn.
