MORNING SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOU ,NALS, FROM .THE DAILY PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. CHRONICLE.—" Like master, like man.' The Time , .;, as well as Sir Robert Peel, has been importuned with questions about what it means to do. The prin ciples and policy of a party must be in a singular pre dicament when so Much curiosity is excited as to its course. Rappily the oracles are not all dumb. Though Sir RoLem - will not speak, the Times will. Sir Robert is silent, because he has taken no fee ; whetkier the Times be loquacious for the opposite reason ii left to corfeeture. It' no, it condemns the baseness of ite leader's principle; and if yes, itconfesses the baseness en' its own. However that may be, the Times favours us with its prescription, as if "regularly called in." It officiates, we presume, in the character of apothecary, feeling the public pulse, and ascertain- Mg the patient's • taste in medicine, preparatory to the advent of the great Quack as physician. The dose recommended is a homceepathic one ; a " very measured advocacy" of " long notice and gradual pre paration" for " the restrictions on the importation of Corn" bein ; " gradually abated." Such is the .new &mind taken op by our Contemnorary, who cosily atria it to he the old ground_which he ha always oc cupied. " 7.leasured- advocacy" with the 7744 es will be a n Welty indeed ; hot, it' such a phenomenon must appear it could not come more appositely than in the form of " meestired" remonstrance against popular :tarvation. The Tia-ien have been accused of violence. Are they not for lettin:; the people perish by degrees ? And is nonthat moderation ? " We are, in the abstract, opposed to the re staietions of the present Corn-laws." Who shall in terpret tins oracular response ? Who explain the meaning uf an e!enruct restriction: Is it anything like arm abetract Lord Mayor ? How do the abstract restric tions of present laws differ from the a bstract restrictions of abeent laws ? Is it "in the abstract". that the Corn. laws make the labourer pay twelvepence for an eight penny loaf ; or, in the concrete ? We pause for a reply. The stream runs clearer as it flows, until at length the Times makes an intelligible assertion, and puts a very pertinent question. "In principle, or however else it may be we; we are opposed to the present restric tions. Why not, then, set to work at once, and write them down ?" Ay, why not. TIM ES.—The home and colonial philanthropists who tons o f deep an interest in " th e Child ren ' s F r i en d So ciety, told who so pathetically deprecated its dissolution, are meleingea zealous effort, we find, to bring it once more into ceistencci—though doubtless in a new form, and prohably with a new designation. Projects of this sort, flay them as you will, are often as unreasonably- te neciOne of life as a well-skinned eel. Nothing could be name just or foreible than the public obloquy under which the late kidnapping society was doomed Jo pine and criminally to perish. In proportion as its original supporters became acquainted with the objectionable sys tenß)F trepanning, whereby its juvenile victims, unable to exercise their own discretion, were literally trans ported and enslaved, they withdrew their coun tenance from such a scheme, one after another, till at length the whole concern fell to pieces in Exeter Hall, and appeared to be finally annihilated. Our readers will see, however, from oar City article of Moaday, that the boy-mousers at the Cape of Good hope, who constituted the principal customers for the youthful cargoes which the Children's Friend Society were in the habit of ship ping to the South African market, have become just as impatient at the cessation of their usual supplies as the philanthropic crimps at home are to renew and extend the traffic. The fact that a proposal and subscription liar reviving this affair have been originated at nearly the scare moment both in London and at the Cape, plainly shows that the conjunct effort has been pri vete!). preconcerted ; and as the interested Colonists are shrewd enough to know that an imposing aggregate cot:- tribution on their part may possibly serve the double purpose of calling forth a seasonable supply of the arti vies in demand, and of requiting themselves with a por tion of the earliest consignments, a considerable number of them have stibecribed front ton to twenty or thirty pounds qpieee, on the understanding, that for each ten pounds so sulesarileed they shall be entitled to the services of an emigrant—taking. the pick of the. invoice -in rotation. The Cape subeedbere, it seems, profess to have been driven to thie expedient by the circumstance that they do not find the Caffres and Hottentots adapted for the hard work of the colony—an acknowledgment which plainly implies, either that they mean to work their a outhini exiles with a severity which the natives, though inured to-the climate, are unequal to, or else that the term of stipulated bondage is to be so protracted that-the etriplinge, even if not overworked When young, ultimately yield them a profitable reversion of op pressive lahoue erring many succeeding years. That a :plausible tiice %vial be put upon this colonial movement, and that the project will be loudly lauded as opening a rauch-needed asylum for children who would otherwise be abandoned to vagrancy and crime, is what we are quite prepared to expect. HERALD.----We yesterday point4d out the very in suflicieut, but most Whiggish amount of means which Lord. John Russell had consented to appropriate for carryin, out the recommendations of the Commander-in- Chief of the British army, Lord Hill, and of the pro- Commanding General, Sir R. Jackson, to corn ylete and increase the permanent defences of Canada, matt showed that, in point of fitct, nothing of any import otility could be thereby effected. The construc tion an 4 completion of the Canadian fortifications and of tine military lines of communications in that noble pro vinve have to he accomplished out of the yearly savings `. , "ron.i, Intl the periate down of, the militia and volunteer greete ; fie that for every stone added to a wailitary work, oe fur every rood of land cleared for military communleatiou, the militia-and volunteer reghnents—the :immense value of which was seen in the Canadian rebel be injured in efficiency. The safety of the province—separated, as it is, from the mother country, not only by the ocean, but for a great part of the by the climate and season—is, to a great depeedent ote its militia and volunteers, and sutfleicfacy of its permanent defences. Lord Hill and Sir R. Jackson have solemnly declared to the Colonial Secretary that " eVO dependence upon the decided superiority of oar troops, and arrangements made for defence connected with them, should lead tie to neglect the construction and completion of permanent works calculated for the protection of the points of most importer:cc to 1.1.3." Yet Lord John Russell will only con trionte to that construction and completion from the scrapings of . a miserable pettyfogging economy, which will injeere the constitutional military force of the colony, and will damp the ardour and cool the patriotism of men who have already made great sacrifices to maintain that connection, on the continuance of which the Noble Lord writes so hesitatingly-. POST.—The leading Radical print of yesterday pro chthee that "the constituencies have miserably failed of securing. their own interests," while " her Majesty has never felled of the discharge of her duties." So then even Eadieals have found out that in political matters the people may be wrong and negligent, and the monarch eight and attentive. Truly tins is an important Radical 4116covery, to which we wish they could keep their eyes -when it is not their own seltiele interest to do so as well as when it is. The view w hich the Radical organ now pro pounds, when resolved i nto a political principle is pre cisely the Tory view of such matters. The Tories not only think, but have, always thought and professed, that the people might be wrong, and the Monarch right, even when they dlifared upon p o li t i ca l subjects. For thus thinking they have been, ov er an d o v er aga i n, abused by' the Radicals as tyrants. They h ave b een to ld a t h ousand thnes, in a tone of Radical menace, that " the people is the only legitimate source of power.' yhiv do not the oa e neet; now acknowledge the error and wickedness of this prineaple ? Why do they not confess, and ask par don ? WIT,V, but that they are despicably selfish, and afraid to acknowledge any truth %licit might be prejud ,i r d to th e ir own interest ;} - en r, cxtvlit LOBE.—The Tory papers, having received the dint from the leading journal to abstain from " un rnardod language," are sadly at a loss for subjects on WIIMI to dilate, and the Herald in particular appears to b e very much put about f or a top i c on which to expend its proverbial garrulity. For want of something better, our Contemporary has lakt.. , n up :t brief allusion made by Lord John RusFell to a former Speaker of the House of Commons, and has treated its readers to a column and a. half of disquisition on the life and times, do mestic as well as official, of Sir Charles Manners . Sutton, now Viscount Canterbury, which are carried Alma to the very moment of writing, and enter so 'lli lintely into detail, as to apprise the public that , t ca-Speaker is in 1841 " wedded to a blue coat,' in which it is darkly insinuated there are holes, and that he is aecustomed " to p romena d e roun d the plantations St• jamPs's dresSed in a style, as the Herald impertinently hints, of unbecoming seediness. • We are at a loss to perceive the connection between the Kloat of the Speaker before last, and the election of the gentleman who now fills the chair ; 'and, in. the whole of our Contemporary's elaborate article being as it is a treatise on the political life and privatE halt of a nobleman, who was only incidentally named in the House of Commons last night, reminds us very much of the essay in ninety .six octavo pageS, to consi der the quastion whether the husband of the Nurse in Romeo and Juliet was really the " merry man" he is sail to have been in the course of one speech—usually omitted iu the representation—put by the author into - the mouth of one. of the subordinate characters. The lengthy remarks on. Viscount Canterbury are ab o ut as relevant to the Speakership as the essay alluded to might he considered pertinent to the illustration of Shakspeare's characters ; and we only regret that the otherwise inoffensive rigmarole of the writer of the former should have been disfigured by allusions to the . - Noble Viscount's e conomy of dress—allusions which show that while he who makes them must, have a tho rough knowledge of the peculiarities of Lord Canterbury, late Charles Sutton, he has lost all recollection of Manner- COURIEIL—Mr. Hawes, when proposing at the recent Lamlxith reform festival, "the People, the legi 2iinute sourc:) of power," was, we admit, free from hy pocrisy ; " that homage which vice pays to virtue" he fie nog: scruple to give vent to in the principles of his 1 , 6141P:11 creed. Theie were "Additional Reform," and " Peaceable Agitation." The philosophical Mr. Warburton said—" He thought they would be of opinion, :from their experience of the present constitution of P.tr liamer.t, that the Reform Bill had ended in great disap- Tointmeat ; it had disappointed many, but lit, indiridu "Nay, had not been disappointed ; the Bill required much improvement—they must have, in fact, a new Reform Bill." D'Eyncourt caught the strain, and sang in the same key. " They had found that the Reform Bill was not adequate to secure the liberties of the country. They inlst have have a new Reform Bill." Do Messrs. Hawes. "v 4rburtoi:, and D'Eyncourt, forget that in the tebate on th e R e f orm Bill, the finality of the measure as the only principle on which it was passed ? 'tow often were we told that "so far, and no farther" should tin elective though in passing franchisethis experience change ; that wee be destroying the lll, they would in some de _Kin,' Lords, balance of power between Vie and Commons, thus virtually changing ITN r the Constitution, still it should be the final con ! cession to the clamour of the giant-people, it was the third revolution, it must be the last. True, it is, within late years, we have learnt that no measures of reform can be considered final, no, sop thrown to the revolution Cerberus can satisfy it s . cravings, Our Church, our Municipal Government, our Poor Laws, have each in turn been themes of discussion, and have offered subjects for political dissection ; but we had yet to . learn that the spirit of. innovation would lead men to destroy their own offspring, and to throw down the corner. ; stone of. the building they hatl set up. It may be said, that we are " breaking flies on the wheel"—that Messrs. Warburton, Hawes, and D'Eyn court are mere political pretenders,—that it is waste of time to notice their opinions, as it would be folly to take the nostrums of their medical travelling brethren ; but it must be remembered that mens' power for harm is not limited by the power and measure of their minds ; for instance, these sentiments were re ceived with cheers by the six hundred " influential and respectable " four-shilling-a-heard electors of Lambeth, and may be extolled by other men of equally capaCious dimensions in that loyal borough. What a lesson should this be to us. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. POST.—A speculator named Clark was declared. Mr. Clark is a broker, and it appears that he has been placed in difficulties by the extensive operations in which Ise was engaged in the Consol and Spanish Markets. The insolvent is said to have held largely of Share property, but his principal losses have been incurred as a bull of Spanish Stock. Lord Palmerston has, we understand, sent to the Com mittee of Spanish Bondholders, desiring to be put in possessing of their third Report, recently published, as well as copies of the correspondence, various memorials, and other documents relating to the claims of the Bond holders, the whole of which it is intended to despatch by special messenger to Madrid, together with his Lord ship's observations, and instructions upon the subject. Senor Hall must be well aware of the altered position of Lord Palmerston, and we do not suppose that any atten tion will now be paid to his representations. He will, moreover, consider it strange, as every one else must do, that Lord Palmerston should never have felt the pro priety of his interference until he was virtually dispos sessed of all official power. TIMES.—The speculators in tea, who were the first to rely on the " news " said to have been received from China, are now beginning to doubt its authenticity, and take great pains to limit their transactions, and dimi nish, whenever an opportunity of fors, the liabilities they have already incurred. Under this impression the de ! cline in the price of the leaf which has occurred within these last two days has brought the market to a verypas sive state, while the heavy sales declared to-morrow in duce the trade generally to believe that even the present prices will be scarcely supported. Our private letters received from Amsterdam state that the Finance Minister had, on the 17th instant, presented to the States-General the biennial Budget of Ways and Means, and the Bill for converting the Pas sive into Active Debt. By this important Bill it is provided that the annual conversion of Passive Debt into 24- per Cent. Active, as enacted by the law of the 14th of May,lBl4, shall, after the abolition of the respec tive enactments of the laws of February 9, 1818, the 27th of December, 1822, and the 25th of December, 1824, be superseded by an immediate and entire conver sion into 2.1 par Cent. Active Bonds. With respect to the manner in which the new conversion is to be effected, the inscriptions of 21- per Cent Active Debt on the "great book," are to be granted as fol lows :—Fur 1,000 florins deferred, and a " chalice bill," GS florins ; for 1,000 florins deferred, without a " chance bill," 18 florins ; and for a " chance bill," without any deferred, 50 florins. For 1,000 florins deferred, with a "chance bill" drawn already ac cording to the enactment of December, 1824, inscrip tions • are to be granted, varying according to the time when the conversion, according to the drawing, would t eke place. Thus, if the " chance bill," in addi tion to the 1,000 florins deferred, has been drawn to be converted on the Ist of January, 1342, the inscription is to be for 1,000 florins ; if in 1842, for 953 florins ; if in 1844, for 909 florins ; if in 1845. fop 867 florins ; if in 1846, for 827 florins ; if in 1847, for 788 florins ; if in 1848, for 752 florins ; if in 1849. for 717 florins. The inscriptions in consequence of the present conversion will nominally amount to 71,396,000 florins. The budget which was presented by the Dutch Minister on the same day is comprised in twelve Bills for the expenditure in 1842 and 1343, and a thirteenth Rn- the revenue. The total amount of the revenue covers that of the ex penditure without any new taxes being levied, any existing taxes being raised, or recourse being had to any new IT eans of credit. The expense for the two years is estimated at 71,300,000 florins per annum. While bring ing forward his financial plans, the Minister proposed to cancel 800,000 florins of 44- and 21- per Cent. Stock, and to appropriate 750.000 as the first step towards a sinking fund. He announced an important fact, which is, that the Dutch Government has not as yet been able to put to the accotfnt of Belgium her share in the National Debt, but that that country had regularly paid 5,000,000 florins per annum. The objects of present assembly of the States are considered to be of such paramount import ance, that the Minister has begged that they will not separate until they have come to a decision. HERALD. Considerable amusement has been afforded to the city gossips by the ludicrous lumbering of the city article of the Times in an attempt to discredit the very late accounts from China which, as so gene rally occurs with intelligence of any moment, made their appearance in the Herald of Tuesday last, and had to be copied and inserted at second hand in the Times of the day following. This was certainly mortification not silently to be endured, and so for two mornings consecutively the city Times has been zealously labouring in the fox -like vocation of proving that the grapes beyond its reach were sour as verjuice. "All the details of the supposed letter from Macao, it is remarked this morning; are as vague as possible," &c. Now vagueness is assuredly the very last reproach which ought to have been hazarded, for whatever the doubts entertained or affected in interested quarters at first in respect of the genuine character of the document, they were grounded almost entirely upon the uncommon particularity and exactitude of dates and details as they appeared. That the letter may hive been used and dis patched for " interested purposes" by the party here or elsewhere is not only possible but tolerably certain, for merchants or speculators do not generally go to the cost and trouble of procuring and forwarding interesting intel ligence by special express for the mere gratification of parading it in the columns of either the Herald or the Times. It isnot improbable that more substantial results were looked for as the reward of superior enterprise and tact, and the sustained firmness of the market shows that the speculators on the news are not playing at " tea and turn out" any how. As to..the assertion that "no well-informed person in the City attaches the least credit to it," this can only be met by a direct counter negative, for none but persons indifferently informed could suspect any impossibility about the manner in which the intelli gence is said to have been received in India and for warded to England. In fact, as people good-naturedly remark, if the news had first appeared in the Times in stead of the Herald, the rack would have been punish ment too mild for the hapless sinner who should have presumed to question its authenticity. The letter, after all, was not sent to Paris for insertion from the parties by whom assumed to have been received and acted upon in this city, but, if at all, toMarseilles, where it was first pub lished in the Semaphore, and subsequently extracted into the Paris papers. When once a mistake has been committed, there are only two ways of getting out of the difficulty created by it—either by frankly acknowledging the error, or bra zening it out to the utmost. The accounts lately received from Manchester and the neighbouring districts mention a partial revival in the demand for yarns, principally for exportation. The sales had been to some extent, but piece goods were still neglected, and the large stocks precluded the hope of any advance in prices, until considerably reduced. This same complain t ofover-stocked markets is made at every foreign port, and affords a sure proof that over-manufacturing and manufacturers consigning too largely, or at all their own account, are the principal. sources of the pre sent depression. be termed NOVEL RACE. a aa g t 9i m d t m ly e m da o i r o e f Yesterda Y . a. novel race, or what perfectly e rf l e l e d t u ly e o f 20 linen;, match, for took plac e ' , given by the National Swimming Society, °n the Ser • start was half- Serpentine.

It occupies nearly an acre and a half of ground, and is to contain nineteen cells, `•an yard, stabling, and bar racks sufficient for the accommodation of upwards of 100 policemen. DEATH OF A LADY FROM SUFFOCATION —On Wednesday afternoon, about five o'clock, as a lady named Miss Louisa Losson, about 30 years of age, re siding with her sister, Madame Losson, at No. 22, Brompton-square, was taking her tea and eating a sand wich, she was suddenly observed to be seized with a vu?- lent fit of strangulation. She became ahnost immedi ately black in the face, and struggled violently, upon which the servants, becoming alarmed, sent fur Mr. Pol lard, a surgeon, living at the corner of the square, and also for Mr. Gray, of Brompton-row, another surgeon, both of whom were immediately in attendance, and every thing that surgical skill could suggest was done, but unhappily without avail, the lady surviving only ten minutes. 711 E SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY, AUGUST 21, 1841. 1 THE ACTION AGAINST THE " TIMES" NEWSPAPER. (From the Times.) BOGLE V. LAWSON. If we are dcirous that attention thould be directed to the ease of" Bogle v. Lawson," which was tried at Croy don before Lord Chief Justice Tindal on Monday last, it is not from any dispOsition to obtrude upon public notice matters in which we are ourselves personally concerned. The occasion would call for remark, even if we were not so immediately interested in it as we are. It is seldom that proceedings have taken place in a Court of Justice better calculated to illustrate, on the one hand, the na tional benefit of an independent press, and, on the other, the risks, difficulties. harassing expenses, and formidable responsibilities which those who conduct the public press must be prepared to encounter, if they are determined fearlessly and impartially to discharge their duty. It is now fifteen months since we received from a cor respondent at Brussels, on whom we had reason to place implicit reliance, copies of a judicial examination which had then lately taken place in Belgium, and of certain letters which hail been intercepted by the police of that country. These documents furnished us with the parti culars of a most singular and extensive conspiracy f;ir fraudulent purposes, in which various persons of name and influence, Englishmen as, well as foreigners, ap peared to be impli ca t e d. Th e papers. left doubt upon our minds as to the guilty participation in the scheme of eleven individuals, two only of whom were then in the hands of justice. That our readers may understand fully the importance to the commercial world of a complete and searching ex posure of this infamous affair, we will here mention a few of the prominent facts which were proved or ad mitted upon the recent trial. Of the conspirators, one was a French Marquis, most respectably connected by marriage in this country. Another was a Baron, the son of a most distinguished General of the empire and Peer of France. The third was a Count. The fourth was a Scotch gentleman, most highly connected, who for many years had represented the county of Stirling in Parliament ; and the fifth was his . son. The principal partner of a banking-house in high credit at Florence was asserted to be a sixth; and besides these there were numerous other 'inferior agents and accomplices, both male and female. Such were the circumstances and po sition in society of the parties, and it must be admitted that a More formidable banditti, or one against which it would be more difficult for men of business to be upon their guard, never was organised. These parties, having settled th e i r pl an o f operat i ons, resolved to atta c h the commercial world in the tenderest point. Every one knows what wonderful facilities have been given of late years to travellers upon the Continent, through the medium of circular letters of credit from the principal bankers of London. Such is the reputation of British commerce in every part of' the world, so. universally known and appreciated are the, stability and punctuality in business of the great London houses, ,that a letter of credit from Messrs. Coutts and Co., or Messrs. Glyn and Co. is as readily r ecogn i ze d an d as un h es i tat i ngly honoured in Alexandria or Smyrna, as if it were pre sented in Lombard-street or the Strand. But the very circumstances which make this letter-of-credit system so great an accommodation to the traveller, make it also peculiarly open to the machinations of fraud, it being al most impossible that everyone of the thirty or forty firms, in different cities to whom every circular letter of credit is addressed (and to the great majority of whom no one letter is likely to be presented), should in every case be advised of the fact that such a letter has been issued by the London house. Money, therefore, is unavoidably advanced upon these letters, in the ordinary course of business, without advice ; and flir this reason the Marquis de Bourbel and his companions determined to carry on their fraud by means of forged letters of credit. We need hardly remark, that in proportion as the present facilities of travelling are valuable to the public, and in proportion also to the difficulty of' guarding against this description of fraud, it was important that a conspiracy which threatened, if carried much further, to discredii circular letters altogether, should be unsparingly exposed, The conspirators having selected Messrs. Glyn,. Hali fax, Mills, and Co., as the firm whose name they should use (no British banking firm having. a more extensive mercantile connection), succeeded in possessing them selves of one of their genuine letters of credit, anal in producing so perfect an imitation, both of' the body of the letter and of the signature, that one of the partners of that house, when placed in the witness-box on Monday last, was at first unable to distinguish between the forgery and a genuine letter. With this instrument, multiplied by numerous copies, they carried on their schemes of de predation with surprising rapidity, and had they not been wholly deficient in caution, might have esc a p e d d e t ec ti on for a mu c h l onger - period than they did. The deposi tions put in at the trial proved that, within the space of a few days, they succeeded in obtaining, upon these forged letters of credit, upwards of 10,0001. It cannot be necessary for us to go into any further details to show that, as journalists enjoying an extensive circulation in this great commercial country, we should have been greatly wanting to our duty if we had ne glected to give ptiblicity to the facts relative to so unpre cidented a conspiracy, as soon as they came to us in an authentic form ; and more especially to the names of the guilty parties. Least of all should we have been justified in suppressing the name of a person situated like Bogle (the plaintiff in the late action), at the head of a banking establishment of credit and connection in the mercantile world, after satisfying ourselves of his guilt upon evidence sufficient to produce moral conviction in any unprejudiced mind. We did so satisfy ourselves, and we published his name accordingly—whether upon insufficient grounds we leave to be inferred from the ver dict of the jury, which has t:timated Mr. Bugle's cha racter at the value of one farthing. We feel that, under these circumstances, we may fairly take to ourselves the praise of having done some service to the public by the disclosures which involved us in the recent vexatious and costly proceedings. If so, we are entitled to ask, if it is not unjust and unreasonable that a journalist, who does no more than his duty in a case of this sort, should be put to the alternative of either de ceiving the public and promoting the designs of thieves by, recanting statements in which all the mercantile world is interested, which he has published upon clear evidence, and which he knows to be true, or else of being forced, at his own expence, to trace out and collect the legal proofs of a mass of transactions distributed all over the continent of Europe, in the face of unparalleled diffi culties of every kind ? For more than a year have we been engaged in making preparations for this trial ; and law has done its worst to bully us into submission. Let our solicitor tell his own tale :—" Mr. Dobie was exa mined by Sir W. Follett: Is the acting attorney for the defendant in this case. Ile went abroad on the 10th of Au gust, 1840, for the purpose of collecting evidence. Visited for that purpose, Paris, Brussels, Ostend, Genoa, Turin, Bologna, Florence, Parma, Cologne, Liege, Ghent, Antwerp, and Coblentz. He visited all the principal towns on the Continent, where forgeries had been com mitted and bankers had been robbed. He made fre quent attempts to procure the original letters. Applied several times to the Garde des Sceaux, but did not at first obtain any answer from him. The Procureur du Roi said it was impossible to have the use of the original letters." The greatest hardship of all consists in this, that after all the trouble and expense to which we have been put, and after obtaining what every man, woman, and child, knows to be virtually a verdict in our favour, we are still debarred, in the present state of the English law, front that common measure of justice which gives a de fendant, harassed by groundless litigation, a claim upon his adversary for his costs of suit. We do not complain of the nominal verdict for the plaintiff ; it was the neces sary result of the rule of law which compelled the jury (as instructed by the .Learned Judge) to exclude from their consideration those letters of the conspirators, Bourbel and Graham, in which Bogle's name was men tioned, and upon which our own conviction of Bogle's guilt was originally grounded. We do not allege that there was direct evidence sufficiently clear to have con victed Bogle, had he been then placed on his trial for a criminal offence ; but we do insist that, in a case where the Jury decide that-the plaintiff's character had sus tained no injury, the defendant is morally and equitably entitled to his costs, whatever may be the formal ver dict ; and if the Legislature does not wish to throw im pediments in the way of the discharge of the most useful functions of the press, we are entitled to demand and expect protection for the future against such unreason able liabilities as those to which th e recen t act i on h as shown us to be exposed. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HOME CIRCUIT—Croydon, August 20. STAKES, CLERK, V. JOINT STEWART, EARL OF DARNLEY, SAVAGE, AND OTHERS!. This was a feigned issue to try the liability of certain lands in the parish of Cobham, in Kent, to the payment of tithe to the Vicar. The declaration, charged that the lands in question were liable to the payment of tithe in kind,' the defendants. pleaded they were not, and upon this issue was joined. Mr. Thesiger, Mr. Sergeant Channel!, Mr. Peacock, and Mr. Smith, were for the plaintiff ; Mr. Platt, Mr. Chambers, and Mr. Bremwell, for the defendants. Mr. THESIGER stated the case, _ When the Learned JUDGE intimated that from the nature of the case, it was utterly impossible that any decision come to at the present time could be final, and as he would not attempt to give a judgment as to the ad missibility of such a mass of documentary evidence, he should, under all the circumstances, feel it to be his duty to both parties to direct that a special case should be laid before the Judges ; and he therefore suggested that this course should be at once adopted, without going into the evidence, and occupying two or three days at least of the public time, when no result could be obtained. After some argument , it was arranged that a verdict the plaintiff shuuld be taken, subject to a special case. ROUSE V. FIVAZ. This was an action of a rather extraordinary cha racter to recover the amount of a bill of exchange, by One John Ashell Lemon, and accepted by the defendant, for 331. 6s. Bd., and endorsed by the plaintiff. The defendant pleaded that the bill had been given to compound a felony, and that, therefore the plaintiff could not recover upon it. Mr. Platt and another were for the plaintiff, and Mr. Thesiger and Mr. ESpinasse for the defimdant. • Peters, a clerk in the firm of Messrs. Winsborn and Collett, attorneys, of Chancery-lane, proved the de fendant's acceptance. • Cross -examined—His employers were attorneys for Mr. Nicholls, to whom the bill was originally given. John Ashell Lemon, the drawer of the bill in question, was clerk to Mr. Nicholls, and he was in custody at upon Charge of em b ezz l ement, Ma de a U g l at ri st h illl l a nt 'a by Mr. :Nicholls. He was in custody till the 21st of November, and the bill was dated the 23d.. Never• saw or knew the bill to be in the possession of the plaintiff till it became due. He was aware that some money transactions took place, and that more securities were to be given by Lenion. Mr. TIIESIGER addressed the Jury for the defendant, and called witnesses. • Lord Chief-Justice TINDAL, in summing, observed, that the question the Jury had to decide was one •of a most important character. The offence of compounding. .a felony, and this it was which Was imputed by the de fendant to have taken place, was of a serious character, and by the law of England no security was of any' value that was given for such a purpose, unless the person holding it had given real cons id erat i on f or it. The Jury would have to say whether Rouse was put forward, nominally, to relieve Nicholls from the effect of the de fendant's plea, in which case he would stand in exactly the same position that he himself would have done; and, secondly, whether the charge of compounding a fe lony had been made out. Undoubtedly if it had been a mere question of debt, Nicholls would have been justi fied in seeking security from Lemon, but it certainly ap peared very strange that while the latter was in actual custody he should have demanded a security for 4001. for the appearance of Lemon after he was discharged, in order that he might give other securities to the same amount. The Jury, after a minute's deliberation, returned a verdict for the defendant. NORTHERN ClRCUlT.—Liverpool, Aug. 18. CROWN SlDE.—(Before Lord DEN MAN.) William Barber, William Parkinson, Thomas Gnarlier, Samuel Pennington, and Henry Ellis, were indicted for a burglary, with violence, in the h ouse o f Th omas Sh aw, at Poulton-cum-Fearnheed ; on the 27th of March last. Mr. Wilkins and Mr. Monk conducted the prosecu tion. Mr. Murphy defended the prisoners Ellis and Pennington. It appeared from the evidence of Hannah Barton, who was the housekeeper of the prosecutor, that she was awoke on the night of the 27th of March by the barking of a dog. She then heard the noise of feet about the door, and a crash, and the sound of fire arms. She ran to the window, when a pistol was fired at her from without, the ball from which grazed her forehead. Stones were then thrown in, one of which struck her. She went down stairs to alarm her master, and a servant-man who slept in the parlour, when she saw four men there ; she, with some difficulty, broke the window of a back workshop, and was getting out, when the prisoner Ellis caught hold of her, and ano ther came from the back door, with a weapon in his hand. She begged them not to hurt her, and they said, if she got in, they would not, and the man raised his weapon, and threatened to knock her brains out, if she did not get in, which she did. While there, two men came from the parlour, one with a pistol, the other with a dark lantern. They refused to let her go to her master and the man. The one with the pistol threatened to blow out her brains if she attempted it. They remained after this about 20 minutes, and went away, locking the door after diem, and taking the key away. A dark lantern-slide was found in the kitchen. Thomas Shaw, the prosecutor, deposed, that when the door WAS broken, four men rushed into the parlour, and with dreadful oaths and threats demanded his mo ney. They all seemed to be armed with pistols, and two had dark lanterns. The servant struggled with one of them, but they thrust him down in the bed and held the bolster over him.. Shaw then gave them his purse, containing about 35/. in gold. They next broke open the doors and cupboards and took what silver they could find, with a knife and some other articles. One stood sentry over the witness with a loaded pistol pointed at • him, while the others searched the house. Thomas Sutton, an approver, who was admitted to" give evidence, stated that he lodged with Pennington in Parkinson's house, at Chorlton-upon-Medlock, sixteen miles from Shaw's, and that the robbery was planned on the 25th of March. The parties set off by different roads, and met at a stile near the house about ten o'clock. They then went to a house not far off, and got some buttermilk, and returned to a heap of maraire near the house, where they remained about en hour, and then proceeded to their purpose. The witness then de tailed the circumstances already given in evidence by the housekeeper and theproseeutor, maladded, that when they got out of the house Pennington had a large watch mid Parkinson some silver. Barker pulled out 71. 10s. in gold from his pocket, and Goodier had two large spoons. They overtook a lad with two horses, upon which they procured a ride for some distance towards Manchester. Ile then went toi Parkinson's and to bed. In the evening he saw Parkinson, who said he had sold the old spoons for Gs., and gave witness Is. 3d. Some days after he, George Bibbey, Parkinson, and Ellis went to the railway station, where they were taken into custody by Jones, the constable of Warrington. It appeared from the cross-examination of this witness that he had been engaged in other expeditions of a simi lar nature, but his evidence was nevertheless corrobo rated by that of other witnesses in several points. Jones, the constable, searched Parkinson's house, where he found two black packs of calico, apparently in tended to be used as a disguise, two pistols, t wo dark lanterns, two " jemmi es ," a large bunch of skeleton keys, and other instruments of their calling. The " jemmies" fitted the marks where the- house door:had been forced open. Mr. MuttPnY addressed the Jury for Ellis and Pen nington, and the other prisoners spoke in their defence. The case being summed up, The Jury found all the prisoners Guilty. Sentence was deferred, there being five indictments against them for similar offences. WESTERN ClRCUlT.—Bristul, August 19. The commission was opened here yesterday after noon by Mr. Baron Maule, who arrived by the Exeter Railway from Bridgewater, and was escorted from the terminus to the Court by ,the usual procession. This morninfr, at ten o'clo c k t he Court was opened, there being thirty-nine causes entered, two of which are spe cial Jury eases, and will be taken on Saturday. FATAL MAIL-CART ACCIDENT IN 'TIIE CITY. A CLERGYMAN liit.r.Eu.—On Thursday, .whilst Mr. Payne, the City Coroner, was officiating in his ordinary duties of Clerk to the Magistrates at Guildhall, he re ceived information of the death of the Rev. William Rust Cobbold, the incumbent of a parish in Hampshire, who had been killed under the following melancholy circum stances :—lt appears that the Rev. Mr. Cobbold, who is an elderly gentleman, was, shortly after eight o'clock on Friday ' evening last, crossing from the south to the north side of Ludgate-hill, nearly opposite to the Belle Sauvage, at which inn he was staying, when he was knocked down by the chest of the horse attached to the Portsmouth mail-cart, and. before the horse could be pulled up the wheel of the cart passed over him in an horizontal direction, crushing his right leg and thigh, and otherwise fearfully injuring his stomach, chest, and shoulder. City Police-sergeant Evans, 302, who was on duty near the spot and saw the occurrence, immediately picked the deceased up, and conveyed him, in an appa rently lifeless state, to the shop of Mr. Ponton, surgeon, of Ludgate-hill, who advised his immediate removal to his apartments at the Belle Sauvage, where he received the attentions of several medical men. He lingered in great agony until. Thursday morning, when he expired from the dreadful injuries he had sustained. Mr. Payne has appointed the Inquest to be held yesterday, and the driver of the mail-cart was taken into custody and lodged in the Compter, to await the result of the in quiry. INQUEST ON THE BODY. Yesterday afternoon it lengthened investigation was entered upon before . Mr. PAYNE, and a highly respect able Jury, at the Belle Sauvage Inn, Ludgate-hill, to in quire into the circumstances causing the death of the Rev. Wm. Rust Cobbold. Geo. Elset. Evans, a sergeant in the City Police Force, stated, that abouteight o'clock on Friday, the 13th inst., he perceived one of the mail carts coming down Ludgate hill at a rapid pace, and almost immediately after, the deceased, who was crossing the street, was struck by the chest of the .horse, and the wheel of the cart passed over his person from the shoulder downwards to the hip. The driver immediately pulled up, and witness found the cart to be the Portsmouth mail, and bore the name of William Chaplin, Swan with Two Necks, Lad-lane. The guard who accompanied the. mail bags begged that th e d r i ver m i g h t be allo ; ved to proceed, the time allowed to take the bags being limited, which witness consented to on condition of the guard being responsible for the driver's appearance. The deceased was then re moved to the shop of Mr. Ponton, surgeon, of 42, Lud gate-hill, and his injuries attended- to. The deceased, who told witness that at the time of the accident he was going to Kennington, was able to walk, with the assist ance of a constable, from Mr. Ponton's to his lodgings, at the Belle Sauvage. .By a Juror—The streets were almost clear of car riages at the time of the accident. By the CORONER—The driver was on the proper side of the street, and quite sober. He also expressed much regret for the accident. .The cart was going at the rate of about seven miles an hour. . After several other witnesses had been examined, touching the circumstances of the accident, whose evi dence, however, was nothing more than a repetition of Sergeant Evans's, Mr. Ponton said, that on Friday evening the deceased was brought into his surgery, and he being from home, his assistant upon examination found the shoulder dislocated, which he set, and deceased left. On the fol lowing Sunday witness went to deceased's lodgings, and found that the bone had again slipped from the socket. He again set it, and on further examination found two ribs were broken, which he treated according to the usual practice. He considered death to be caused by weakness of the constitution arising from the injuries, and the deceased's extreme old age. By a Juror—His assistant had not a diploma front any College, but he considered him perfectly competent to practice as a surgeon. The deceased being of rather an obese habit, rendered it more difficult to .t.liscover the fracture of th e r ib s . Th e d i slocated bone might a second time slip from the socket, on account of the muscular relaxation, as well as on account of improper bandages. A gentleman named Morgan, whom we understood to be a relative of the deceased, identified the body as that, of William Rust Cobbold, a clergyman residing at Sel burn, in Yorkshire. lib asked some questions of Mr. Ponton concerning his attendance on the deceased, as be had been informed deceased was under the impression that the assistant was a principal in the establishment. He was anxious to investigate the ease thoroughly, as Mr. Cobbold was at a distance from his friends and rela tives at the time, and consequently' rendered the faithful discharge of the medical , attendants' duty the more imperative. In justice, however, to Mr. Mutton, he felt bound to state that the deceased was on Tuesday visited by Mr. Copeland, an eminent surgeon, who said he considered he was then going on well ; however, on Viednesday he got worse, and expired on Thursday morning. He was sixty-eight years of age, and, as well as he (Mr. M.) could perceive, was defective in-neither sight nor hearing. The_ ConoxLa having summed up, the Jury retired to a private room, and after a long deliberation re turned a verdict that the deceased came by his death accidentally, but at the same time they should record their opinion that the deceased had not had. the proper medical attendance which his cam required. The driver of the cart, whose name is John Maskell, was pr3sent during the ingairy,.an , i at its terminatio^ his employer gave him a very -high character for 6o - briety and steadiness.

The present assize, or fixed price of bread, of the fist quality, in Park as established by the Municipal Authorities of that City, for the second for:night of the current month of August, is 33 centimes for the loaf weighing one kilogramme, which, at the present coutse of exchange in Paris, on Lon don, for bills at one month's date, 'or short paper, of 2.5 f. 30c., money, per pound sterling, corresponds with five pence half•penny and seven-tenths of a farthing for the Eng!Lh four-pound loaf. The present price of the best, or, as it is termed, full-priced bread, being eleven-pence for the four pound loaf (although all bakers have not yet advanced it, but such price is on the point of being generally demanded) , shows that the best bread is dearer in London than in Paris by five-pence farthing and three• tenths of a farthing, or, in other words, livepence and one-third of,a penny, and that of the same . amount of money, namely, eleven-pence, as above, which eea purchase . in London na more than four pounds of the be" bread, there may be obtained, in Paris, seven pounds, twelv e , ounces, and nearly three drachms, Engli s h weight, of bread of the first quality. THE WEATHER AND CROPS.—The weather for the last few days has shown decided symptoms of improve: ment. On Saturday we had a considerable fall of rain ; but the three succeeding days have been all that we could wi.h• In this quarter many fields of barley will be ready for the sickle in a few days; and if the present good weather continues, harvest will soon be general.—Scotsman.

At the hegi_?; ning of the present month they both disappeaed, '1" their families were thrown into the utmost altar" , a l Clement had often declared that he would rather 161 Marie, than leave her to become the wife of another. (11 the Sth inst. these apprehensions were lame ntably verified. A sportsman shooting rabbits saw a 1)1111150 body lying in a cave amid the brushwood of the forest, and he. directly fetched a Magistrate to, the spot, lvit h h : medical man and other attendants. At the mouth Of t o cave were found a woman's cap, laid with evident on a stone, and near it a man's handkerchief, a snuirb%:, a powder-flask, and a bag of bullets. On entering t_ cave were seen the bodies of Clement and Marie , side by side, with a gun near them, which had been discharged,and was unquestionably the means of their destru ction ' the heads of both were much shattered, although th eir features were still recognizable. The corpses were in , " mediately brought to the village, and buried together the same day, amidst the lamentations of their families and the whole community.—Galignanes Messenger., a) 40 ind Tei the Sur BR Mu hay on Cal the luau beld the cons 41uri likel that Pobl P 1.4 th e 5, znery lr Lo H.
