SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS, FROM THE DAILY PArEas OF YESTERDAY. (From the Morning Chronicle ) The Tamworth address still continues to furnish Sir Robert Peel's enemies among the Tories,. with food for animadver site). The doughty " Catholicus" has been indulged in the Times with space for seveu long epistles against the Right Honourable Baronet. His patronage of a mechanics' insti tute in Tamworth has given mortal offence to the Puseyites or High Church Tories. He is roundly charged with esscou raging Atheism, in encouraging the study of physical science. If Sir Robert Peel has been, unawares, encouraging Atheism, there arc persons who will not scruple to say the doughty cor respondent of the Times is led, by his hatred of education to do that with which he charges his opponent! "It is not easy," he observes, "to • decide at this day whether science creates faith or only confirms it ; but we have this remarkable fact in the history of heathen Greece against the former supposition, that her most eminent experimentalists were Ath e ists, an d that it was Atheism which was the cause of their eminence.' Again e—" Physical philosophers are ever inquiring wh ence things are, not why; referring them to nature, not to mind; and taus they tend to make a system a substitute for a god. Each pursuit, or calling has its own dangers, and each num bers among its professors men who rise - superior to them. As the soldier is tempted to dissipation, and the lawyer to the tin red, and the statesman to the expedient, and the clergyman to ease ; yet there are good clergymen, statesmen, lawyers, mer chants, and soldiers notwithstanding. So there are religious ex perimentatits ; yet physics tend to infidelity; and to hare recourse to physics to make men religious, is like recommending - a canonry as a cure for the ye' ut, or givirso a youngster a commission as a pen-Ince for irregularities." she writer does not interdict the study of physics, but he gives it a bad name, and certainly endeavours to show that the great body of the people bad much better re main in ignorance. He tells us that " knowledge does but oc cupy, instead of forming the • mind ; that faith is the only known principle capable of subduing moral evil, educating the multitude, and organizing society; and that. whereas m an i s born for action, action flows not from inferences, but Irani impressions; not front reasonings, but front faith." " CA tholicus" is an acute man, and displays much knowledge in an _ fercing the blessings of ignorance. We have no doubt the t hi s doctrine is generally acceptable to the Tories, whe, being, c n scious that their policy is irreconcileable with the interests of tee masses, naturally conceive that the more ignorant the masses are, the easier they may be deceived. But in vain d o the Tories roadie knowlenge, and even, as in the "instance of " Catholicus," place it in opposition to faith; the people will not consent to tie hoedwinked. ( oin use Morning Pest.) It is pretended in some quarters that the treaty relative to the affairs of the East—an intended tree y of the Five Powers, including France—is chiefly opposed by Russia. It should be mentioned, however, that this information comes originally from the a:darter of the lerquhartites, a set of people who are utterly ineane about the mischievous propensities and designs of 141,13 a. If the late cold weather had been unwhole some or injurioas, which happily it was not, they would have laid the whole hiame °a Russia. We should have had circum stantial deteils of the number of tons, hundred-weights, pounds, and ounces of contaminated ice which the Cabinet of St. Pe!ors'ourgh had causes to be piled up just in the course of the nurtjeast. wind on its route to England. The extra vagance of these people, like the genius of Thomson the poet, are described by Johnson the critic, "at once eine braces the vast, end attends to the minute." We are aware of a lereech-ttusstan party, very hostile to 111. Guizot, whiten would gleely tr,row any obstacle in the way of a settle ment, however honcursble for France and satisfactory to Europe, of witch that Minister should happen to be the pro moter. We are aware that a certain party in France, which pretends to a love of liberty, would be happy to make an alli ance with Russia. against that nation in Europe which enjoys tee greatest degree of political freedom—namely, our own ; but we believe Itussma understands that party too well to have any confidence in it. There may be intrigues to which a tacti ions importance is given by the promoters of them ; but we feel no inconsiderable confidence that Russia is not the quarter in which the greatest difficulties are likely to be found in tim way of an amicaele and general adjustment of the Eastern questien. It is mere ignorance to pretend that Russia will na turally shrink frcm a general Treaty, the object of which will be to guarantee the integrity and independence o f th e O ttoman emeire. feu eia has done that already by joining in the note of toe eeth of July, 1539, and by signing the Treaty of the 15th ci July, 1340. The ambition . of Russia may be great ; her policy may be peceliarly deep as well as dexterous ; but the supposition that she is eager to grasp everything, without con sidering how it is to be held—that she indul ges t h e v i ew of adding Turkey to her dominions, instead of aiding Turkey to maintain her independence—is a vulgar supposition, tit for the Urquhartites, and the vehement talk of the streets, but not for men who have observed and reflected upon foreign politics. We avow that we consider the signing of a treaty which should include France among the protectors of the Turkish empire as most de3ireable. Every one who has anything to lose would be the better of such an assurance for the continued peace of Europe. Such an assurance would re animate industry, and give a great impulse to the arts of peace. We hope that toe moat formidable impediments to so desirable an arrangement may not be found in our own Cabinet. The omissioes in the Queen's Speech at the opening of Parliament bare given us seme reason to fear that Lord Palmerston is eventing in that magnanimity which should attend upon suc oess. tle has shown himself a clever man in managing the Eastern question, but he has yet to show himself a great man. Tnat opportunity is, perhaps, now before him. If he miss it, it may perhaps not occur again. One great point should not be forgotten, namely, that the present Government of France, in promoting a general treaty, shows a disposition to abandon ',the policy of armed isolation. This is a position exceedingly 'dangerous, if not altogether insufferable, and we should hail - with great satisfaction any arrangement which would include the abandonment of such a policy. (From the tliornina The agitators against the British Plough, who speculated . upon commencing a brilliant and profitable campaign at the - "Crown and Anchor," richly earned the unmerciful " thrash - -ink" which they rot. Alderman Cobden and his " tail" of Anti-Corn-law &legates did not receive a more signal rout and ilisecentiteree at Manchester on their return, about two years aeo,. Irom their London excursion, than Warburton, Hawes, Benvring and Co., experienced on Monday night, in the very theatre of many a Whig-Radical triumph. These Anti- Corn-law "Leaguers," as they call themselves, are traders in ;Gross speculation on public credulity. They have not even .the excuse that an ignorant fanaticism on any public question carries along with it—that of sincerity ; they endeavour to :practise steeeption on the "masses " by the cry of , ••'• cheap bread," when their real object is " reduced wages."' Tiut the working classes, whom they hoped to make 7the dupes, of this elaborate deception, are not quite such sim eeletores its they took them to be—they see through the thin 4 Lisigy nee inwhich their real designs are wrapped. The mask of s'ammed sympathy and kindness has hard, hungry, woolfish fee lures beneath it. The stony heart of an intense cupidity estimates their "liberalism" and prompts all its actions. What a working-man, named Wall, said at the " Crown and Anchor" meeting, comprises the whole question respecting the Corn-laws as between the agitators and the working classes; " the only object was to lower wages." The whole of the :agitation, declamafon, lecturing, and electioneering of the anti-Corn.law " leaguers" is reducible to that point of cheapening bread that wages may be diminished. There is one other way of looking at the question in a national point of view. In that point of view the American President put the question in the clearest and, at the same time, in the most concise manner that it, ever was put, when he said, " unhappy • is the condition of a country wnich is dependent upon an other for the bread it eats." When we read this sentence in the President's speech, it reminded us of what Gibbon the his to Han says of the evils that befell Rome in the declining days of her once mighty empire, from being under the necessity . of d eriri lg a precarious subsistence from the granaries of Africa. (From the Times.) iv linisters are at last beginning to open their eyes to the 1 " 4, sssity of maintaining the credit of the British navy in the the tof the world. The intrepidity of our seamen, the gale lar .try, skill', and science of our officers, the admirable disci pl and perfect mastery of nautical manoeuvres which pre le s e itn board our ships of war, their foresight did not crea'e, .a .n 1 their negligence could not take away. But what negli egence could do, they did; they crippled the real strength, and destroyed the imposing attitude, of this most important branth of the public service. By their stupid apathy, and .- worse than stupid retrenchments, they encouraged a neighbour . hag nation, whose navies had been swept from the sea by Nelson and his gallant companions, to dream once more • of maritime supremacy, till at length a foreign fleet was collected in the Mediterranean, more numerous, better manned, and, as far as timber, guns, and equipments constitute power, everyway mor e p ower f u l than our own. What might have ha ppened—to what hard shifts the heroes of Acre and Beyrout might have been driven in order to preserve untarnished the . laurels so dear to every British heart —what losses we might price - have had to d ep l ore as the of victory, if war had broken 4nutlast autum n , cannot now be told. But then, thanks to erovidence the dark c l ou d passed over, and a ipture did e lot take Place ; and now , t h anks to ,n France, a our unwor n sy Ministers are forced to shake off a little of their tor sr, , and csme down to P ar li ament with an increase of 6°3/. in the navy estimates, and propose to strengthen .t• t l, e service with an accession of 5,835 additional seam. . t cou otry would cheerfully submit t o greater sacrificesth e a n n t l tt , se fc r the sake of what has always bee n th e peculiar pr i de at 4.1 big ry, as it is the truest strength and only security,of Erie hmei The readiness with which the House of Commons • has • al , searly responded, and with which the Briti s h people at l ar g e will respond, to this new and considerable d emand the p ablie parse, will undeceive our neighbours in Fran, if they nave ever attrib uted the niggardly parsimony of nee e n _ ' Irs to a doubt as to the manner in which a more vigorous Adn tinistration would be seconded by the country. They will see t hat the few contemptible individuals, like Air. Hume, who ist m e 'e be willing tie stand by tamely, and see foreign power encr arch upon our maritime superiority, are utterly desti tute of influence; except with the Queen's Government, and that even in that tottering quarter their influence is breaking dos.. dos.. at. We look, therefore, to the vote of Tuesday night as af , rob guarantee for the continuance of peace, infinitely mote important than any indiscreet language in the Chamber of P' 40 sties, such as that of M. Dufaure, on Saturday, even ttsor.gh echoed for the moment by the applauses of. the chamber. We look upon it as especially important, when coupled with the emphatic declaration of Lord John Russell, • that lee saw nothing m the. present state of affairs which was likely to interrupt the friendly relations existing betwei n the two countries. (From the Globe.) Lord Stanley, and not Sir Robert Peel, is the leader of the. Tories. In vain are the debial; of this fact in the Tory press. 'We read acts. Toe present Tory policy is a, Stanley and not a Peel thing. Wellington and Pc et, whenever they have been able to act on their own Vif!Lt F., ;have ever been men of a Conservative and concerting .policy towards the great movement of Reform. All the memorable declarainns of his policy made by Sir R. Peel —his Letter to the Electors of Tamworth, bi; speech in the Merchant Tailors' Hall, and his speech on Sir J. Y. Buller's motion—have been full of promises of concession to progress and Reform ; and his speech at the Glasgow dinner, and his recent address at Tacnworth and an addil,iLegoufirheoonelivtya few variations of phraseology, of purpose, to fit them to Pass current as eZbibitiona of the ideas of a Wbig of a bye-gone generation. His policy never gave a sign of a dream of counteraction. Though " Catbolicus" of the Time'sthelarca the hints:isms, , f Sir R. Peel to thefact, that l i ke a body without a soul, a pasty without an idea can have no unity, his poli cy bad an idea in it, which, however, is now no longer held by his p ar t y . C oncess i on to t h e d emocrat i c tendencies of civilization has always marked the policy of Sir Robert Peel. This is the idea of his statesmanship—an idea with little of lornantic aspiration in it, and more safe than high. All his own observation has shown him the raising of the lowly and the lowering of the lofty clasScs of society, as a constant, i nvar i able, and i '. ble• process in politics. During all the days nel sta_ ys cr his looki ng on society he has Seen Lords growing less and trader s Before his eyes he hasof w itnesseddemo becoming greater. degrees the continually and by of ariotocrn , y .waxing therefore, thocurr,lexy and th," waning the cuange, 'be nd has Irt dreasno of Though, a profound knowledge h istor y oP:uit'ngtereanodtihr g n ti 7 1 : amongAbi number of his iceomplish may not be mews, he knows that iron-clad barons and saleable serfs are no more—that men of ermined mantles have been growl 'g weaker, and men of leather aprons growing stronger, for several centuries. The idea of concession to democracy is very maw al to men upward?., of fifty years of age, whose boyhood and youth beheld its triumphs in Napoleon, its ellild and champion, the gleam of whose sword was a terror to Kings. (From the Standard.) 7.'he attempt to evade Mr. Colquhoun's motion, by not nicking a House, was last night defeated bins fair attend arice of Protestant members. That the attempt was made is proved by the fact, that at four o'clock no more than ten Members could be counted on the Ministerial benches ; scarcely less satisfactorily demonstrated by the querulous tone of Lord Murpeth's speech. "If the motion," said the Irish Secretary, " had been for leave to bring in the speech of t'ze Hon. Member for Kilmarnock, he would have no scruple to call upon the House not to receive any such speech." This is, we have no doubt, true, even though Lord Morpe,h said it. The speech was just such an one as Ro manists, and the tools of Romacists, least like to hear, or lowa heard by others. The misfortune of those who wished to walk in darkness, and to lead the public with them, WaSt however, that liberty of speech still exits ia the 1-lorJe of Commons; and it is only by shutting the door of an empty house that the voice of truth can be silenced ; 'out from this stratagem the Ministers were precluded by the Protestant attendance. The ground upon which Lord , Morpeth built his hope of eyed iilg lest night's discussion may be seen in the conclusion cf hia silly a iciress : Seeing that they were told every day, both in speeches in that Hou-e and in publications out of it, that the leaders of the party opposed to the Government professed themselves ready to assume the reins of power, and that those reins were likely to fall into their grasp in a very short time, he certainly did think it desirable, both for the country and for the people of Ireland, that they should have before the House, fully ex plained and developed, the measures and policy which they pro teased to adopt with respect to the government of Lreland."__ ( Hear.) Th : ground of hope wan, that the fear of embarrassing a future Conservative Gov rument would lead the Conserta tive body to cu-operate wi h Miciaters in shuffling out of the discussion of the Maynooth question; that ground proved fallacious. Knowing, and pretending to know, noth ng rnore of the views cf the Con creative leader; than is comprised in the conviction that they are men of sense and honest met, we can tell Lord Morm.h that they will not take office upon the terms of leaving Ireland to the wove nmeat of Mr. O'Connell and the Romani3t priests who 'tow rule that count-) ; they will, we doubt not, impart:ally consult t'te i.iterests of Romanists aid Protestants—they may be even a li . tle indulgent to the erroneous prejudices of the former; but they will. and they !TAUS', depose tho pti istbood from its throne of depotisvp, or they cannot lung count upon the support of toe Protestant people a Great Britt , to, and of the Proles. tints of Ireland. It must be, we see plainly enough, a task of difficulty to overthrow the exiting tyranny, but it is not a task beyond the power of gentleness, wisdom, and firmness, such as we trust to find in Sir Robert Peel and his friends. (From the Courier.) The Presbytery of S'. Andrew!, have rejected the pre. sentee to Kemback, a parish within their bounds, in terms of the vet , , and in compliacco with its enact ments, the Presbytery at the same time knowing it to be contrary to the law of the laud, lout driven in this manner to do despto to this law, that they may not come under the spiritual censures of the Church aad in the ehgant language of Dr, Chat me,-s, take their part in a second " Reel o' Bogie 1" What a fearful state of demoralisation must await the Church, whose Clergy are placed in this painful pre dicament ! The presentee in ihis case is the son of Dr. Cook, one of the most distinguished men of whom the Church of Scotland can at this day boast. He has been for some years the most acceptable assistant to the clergyman whose successor he has at length been ap pointed ; the pa ish church has continued well atte n d e d, and although Dissentng meeting-houses surround the parish, there is scarcely a Leader to be found in it. Yet a majority of the " male heads of families being communicant-," came forward, and veto Mr. Cook, taking a solemn declaration that if ho were their miatater they could not be edified by him ! and h, is rejected acecraingly by the Presbytery, un e otected as they are themselves by the existing law from suspension and depes:tion from the ministry should they refute carrying the veto into effect. Is it possible that our earnest and repeated entreaties that the Legis lature would interfere in this question, con any longer be withstood ? Mr. Cook, the presentee, and all others similarly situated, are thus intercepted in the enjoyment of civil rights by a system of Church polity altogether new to the constitution of the Kirk, and as demoralizing as it is illegal. And in this situation they must remain until Parliament interfere—compelled to seek the esta blishment of their rights by, a suit at law, tedious, ruinously expensive, and every way irksome; and, be it ever kept in view, the moment they go into a Court of Law to make them good, stripped by the Church of their spiritual character, and held up to the Chris:ian people of the country as traitors to the Divine Master whom they protess to serve, by a dominant " majority " in the General Assembly, who, forsooth, assume to be, par excellence, the " office. bearers in His House," exercising thereits a jurisdiction distinct from that of the Civil Magistrate. We again ark if such a state of matters is ta be tolerated? MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. POST.—Messrs. Hullett. Brothers, and Co., the respected agent for the Chidan loan, have drawn up a statement of the financial position of Chili, which, accompanied ss it is by some statistical details from the pen of Mr. R. C. Wyllie, will prove useful to the bondholders, and no doubt, influence, to a great extent, the decision to which they may come on the propos', ion made toMr. Caldcleugh respecting the conversion of the arrears of interest upon the foreign debt, the particulars of which we have already laid before our readers. Mr. Wyllie's figures dis play a progressive improvement in the revenues of the Republic, between 1833 and 1E139, from 1,770,760 dollars to 2,386,952 dollars, while they prove the expenditure, including charges, ordinary and extraordinary, to have remained stationary from the• year 1835. The Committee, as we have intimated, though perhaps with hardly the requisite explicitness, leave the ques tion of making the interest on the coupons, when consolidated into stock, payable in Chili, wholly to the sense of their consti tuents, as it may be declared to-morrow (Wednesday) at the meeting. Two letters, one addressed to the Vice-President of the Board of Trade, the other to Sir Robert Peel, on the protec tion proposed to be given to "original designs and patterns printed upon woven fabrics," have been published by AIL James Thomson, as well as one to Mr. Labouchere, as Presi dent to the Board of Trade, on " the present state of calico printing in Belgium." The first contains various drawings explanatory of the piracy to which Mr. Lane, who had produced an original and popular style, was subjected, during the three months' existence of his copyright,. and the unrestricted com petition afterwards, when he was simultaneously met by the whole trade with his own pattern. In the letter to Sir Robert Peel, who is understood to take a deep interest in the matter, Mr. Thomson expresses a confi dent hope that the facts elicited in Committee have been such as to ensure a modification of the system„ These letters will assist Members of Parliament very mate rially in coming to a correct judgment upon the Pill brought into Parliament by Air. Emerson Tennent, the chief purpose of which is to extend the copyright of calico printers from three to twelve months, and that of paper-hanging manufac turers to a still longer period, three years being named. CHRONICLE.—Money has been easier to-day on the Stock Exchange, and the increase in the navy estimates has led to no depression in the Funds. On the contrary, the ease in the Money Market has given an impulse to prices.

By advises from Hamburgh the price of gold is 425 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 100. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13. 48, and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13. si, it follows that gold is 0.29 per cent. dearer in London than in Ibanburgh.

The debts and liabilities are upwards of 50,0001., and the estimated assets at nearly 42,000/. The examination of the bankrupt as to various. items in his balance-sheet occupied four hours and a half, and that being concluded, The Learned COMMISSIONER said he never met a ba'ance sheet prepared with greater accuracy, nor a bankrupt who ap peared more willing to give every explanation to his creditors. The bankrupt then passed his final examination. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT,BCH 2. IN THE MATTER OF HENNY HALL.

John Dale, of the Victoria Theatre, another comedian, was the next insolvent bailed out on a similar application. A respectable solicitor, who had been engaged it' Chancery proceedings, applied to be liberated on bail. The petitioner had been engaged as a solicitor in a number of Chancery suits, and he had in his schedule good debts to 10,0001. He had, in fact, 16,000 i. owing to him more than he owed.

The plaintiff i n thi s case i s a l a d o f e i ghteen years of age, a " putter," as it is called, in the West Cramlington Collis ry. The defendants are Magistrates who meet in petty cessions at Tynemouth. T c e ac ti on was b roug h t to recover compensat i on in damages for the alleged illegal imprisonment of the plaintiff. The plaintiff, it appeared, had, with a number of other in dividuals, entered into what is called a pit bond, engaging them to work at certain wages for the owners of the West Cramlington Colliery, from thelst of April, 1840, to the Ist of April, 1841. The plaintiff continued to work under this agreement up to July, 1840. On the 31st ofJuly as . rike took place. The pits continued idle till the sth of August, when a consi- . derable number returned to work. The plaintiff, among the rest, wrought until the 7th of August, which was the Friday, on which day he went to Mr. Taylor, who was a son of one of the proprietors, and superintended the working of the pit. He said, "Mr. Taylor, I will consider myself free from this even ing." On the Monday the plaintiff did not return to his work, and on the Tuesday, a warrant having been applied for, he was taken before the present defendants, sitting at Tynemouth in Petty Sessions, and charged under the statute with having im properly left his employment The defendants committed him to the House of Correction of Tynemouth for the period of one calendar month. In the meantime the other persons who had struck woi k returned to their employment, and the plaintiff himself, on the expiration of his imprisonment, preferred act ing as " putter" in the coalpit to being committed for another month, wt.ich it appvars would have been the . consequence of his refusal. Mr. GRAINGER, in slating the as:, to the Jury, submitted, on the,point of law, that it was competent to the plaintiff to put_ an end to his own empl o y men t, as h e h a d d one , b y not i ce. The Learned Counsel then went into the question of the amount damages, which, he submitted, white they should not be vindictive, should be ample, and a full compensation to the plaintiff for the loss of his liberty and the personal suf fering which had been inflicted on him. Witnesses in support of plaintiff's case having been called, and Mr. Alexander having aidreised the Jury for the defen dants, Mr. Justice Mautx said he was of opinion that the question was one of law for the Court, and that the contract must be clearly beneficial to bring it within the rule. In case, how ever, he should be wrong, the opinion of the Jury might be taken on that point, and the whole might be embodied in a special case for the opinion of the Court above. Mr. GRAINGE/1 hay* addres€ed the Jury on this point, and on the ground of tEe amount of damiges, his Lordship summed up, and the Jury, after retiring to consult, brought in a verdict, in case the Court above should find the point of law in favour of the plaintiff, of 5/. camases, expressing also their opinion that the contract was for th e b ene fit o f t h e infant. A similar case, in which another "°. putter" in the same col liery was plaintiff, and the same Magistrates defendants, it was agreed should share the fate of Wood v. Fenwick. - Before lir. Baron Rolfe a few cases of no public importance were tried, and the Court, having concluded the business on the criminal side, rose at an early hour. HOME CIRCUIT—HERTFORD, MARCH 3. The Commission of A'size for the c.,urity of Herts was opened this day at the Shire Hall. Mr. Baron Parke arrived in the town, escorted by the Sheriff and the usual cavalcade, about two o'clock, and having attended divine service at St. Andrew's church, he proceeded to open the Commission. The calendar is not only unusually heavy, but the charges are also of a serious character. A number of causes are not down for trial ; the complete cause list is not yet made up. Both Courts proceed to business this morning at ten o'clock. Lord Denman will preside in the Crown Court, and Mr. Baron Parke at Nisi Prius. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. (Before Lord Chief Justice TITIDA L, Mr. Justice BOSANQUET, and Mr. Justice WILLIAMS. ) CASE OF THE DRYAD. Michael Shaw Stewart Wallace, aged 28, and Patrick Maxwell Stewart Wallace, aged 24, were placed at the bar, charged with being accessories before the fact to the felonious casting away of the ship Dryad, with intent to defraud the underwriters. The indictment against the Wallaces extends to very great length, and contains no less than twenty-six counts. The Attorney-General, Mr. Clarkson, Mr. Bcdkirt, and Mr. Laurie, appeared for th e pros ec uti o n; Mr, John Jervis and Mr. Ballantine for the prisoner Michael ; and Mr. C. Phillips and Mr. Doane for the prisoner Patrick. Mr. JOHN ' ERVIS, f ‘r the prisoner Michael, applied that he might have liberty to withdraw his plea, and not be called upon to plead until the principal should have been convicted, The indictment set forth that ono Editor d Lease had cast away the Dryad with intent to defraud the prosecutors, and that the prisoner had incited him to commit the act. Now by the Act of Geo. IV., accessories before the fact might he indicted with the principal, when the accessory might plead and take his trial with the principal, if he so chose, or might refuse to plead until the principal should be cetiVicted—as for a substantive felony. Now the indictment must show in which form it was intended to charge the party, and in this case it was in the old common law form, charging the principal, and not setting forth any reason why he could not come in and plead. Now the prisoner had a right to say the principal may come in and plead, and I will not plead until he be convicted. If the charge were for a substantive felony, it should have been so laid as that the principal could not come in and plead. Now as the indictment had been so framed, he sub mitted that the prisoner had a right to refuse to plead under this form of indictment. Mr. Justice BOSANQUET—Is it in the common law form ? The ATTORNEY-GENERAL—It is in the form in which all such indictments have been drawn up since the statute of Geo. IV. All difficulty as to the accessory was removed by the enactments of that Act. He would refer their Lordships to 9th section of 7 Geo. IV., which enacted, that persons aids ing and assisting in the commission of a felony might be in dicted either as an accessory before the fact, or as guilty of a substantive felony. Under that Act, it was clear these pri soners might be indicted and convicted without the trial of the prin • cipal. His Learned Friend's objection, as he took it, was solely to the form of the indictment. He would not take any advantage of the having already pleaded; and therefore the question was, whether, in the absence of the principal, they were not bound to plead. Lord Chief Justice Ttstnat,—lt would appear as if they ap plied to put off the trial until Captain Loose should be found. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL thought that would not be a ground for their refusing to plead. He denied that by cortimen law the accessories could not be convicted before the principal felon had been convicted. Suppose a principal had died be fore the trial, would that preclude them from proceeding against the accessory? They must prove the corpus delicti, and hav ing done so, they could try the accessories. Did his Learned Friend mean to say that by common law they could not indict the principal and accessory in one indictment, and that the ac cessory might refuse to plead until the principal should be con victed? Mr. JERVlS—Decidedly. Lord Chief Justice TINDAL—Lord Hale lays it down that the accessory may refuse to plead until the principal be tried. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL would then submit that the sta tute of George IV. entirely cured that defect, and that it was impossible under that Act to have drawn up the indictment in any other manner. That statute enacted that the accessory might be indicted for a substantive felony, whether the prin cipal were convicted or not previously. Now this was an in dictment for a substantive felony ; it was sufficient that it alleged the facts that showed the accessory had been guilty of that felony. They showed that by charging Captain Loose with committing felony to defraud the underwriters, and then showed that the prisoner was aiding and assisting. Now this was made a substantive felony by the Act Geo. I V. He was not aware of any other form in which the indictment could be drawn up. Now what he had to do was to show that the in dictment clearly showed that the prisoners had been guilty of a substantive felony. The point had been decided in Caspar's case. Lord Chief Justice TINnAL—Not exactly. We are not in clined to give any opinion on the point at present; the trial must go on, but we will reserve it for you ; the trial must proceed. Mr. JERVIS—Then I understand your Lordships to decide that for the present the indictment is to be considered as charging a substantive felony ; I therefore call upon the pro. secutor to elect against which of the prisoners they will first proceed. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL--I will elect to proceed against Patrick Maxwell Stewart Wallace first. The COURT then permitted Michael Shaw Stewart Wallace to withdraw ; and Patrick Maxwell Stewart Wallace being placed at the bar— The Clerk proceeded to read the-indictment, which charged Edward Loose with feloniously casting away the ship Dryad, with intent to defraud the owners and underwriters, and Pa trick Maxwell Stelvart Wallace with inciting him thereto. The ATTORNEY- GENERAL said this was a case which would call for the most serious attention of the Jury. The prisoner was charged with being concerned in a scheme for effecting insurances on goods purporting to he shipped on board is vessel,• no c i i ent s thi e vhi yiet o cr f staeani nddsepfor punishablear t u a d t i i n o defrauding t t h hA e de u ee n act d sh e s w a rb r et i s t n e b t o . e and then with cast i ng the vessel away wilfully, for the pur i I s v f . o t r h e e S y u t hewehefr:efic fact n i n v e l e y e r s e p same way a w y o a u s l would r n e c a a b l punished punishable with ma t n o d t t h ra e n re s f p o o r r e t a i t f io t n he fo p r riso li n f e e r . were lie c could not characterize the crime better than in the words of Lord motvell, that it was calculated to strike at the root of our maritime commerce, and consequently to destroy our naval supremacy. He need not dwell on th e d emoralizingeffects this crime. He would caution the m to dismiss from their minds everything they might have read on the subject, and to be guided entirely by the evidence. what he should be able to rovein He would now briefly relate Patrick resided at 40, WinKor-terrace, evidence. it The prisoner place of business at Crutched-friars, where Cit y-r oad, andhad . a bristles and Russian produce, and also in ale. I m t - m as a a dea ler in that he should allude to Michael Shaw Stewart was necessary he was not now on his trial, and what lie had to sa y now would not at all affect hi m on hi s trial. Michael Walla ce resided in Treclegar-square, and had the same p lace f b • ness as his brother in Crutch e d-f r i ars. He owne d "l -e owned two thirds of a brig called the Dryad --a portion of which he had mortgaged to his sister, Janet Wallace. In 1839 that brig, owned by Wallace and commanded by Loose, was chartered by Fullerton and Co., who alone by the terms of the charter party had any right to load goods on board her for her voyage from Liverpool to Santa Cruz. The L earned Gentle man the fact s then detailed at great length as they afterwards came out in ev i dence. Having in the course of hi s speech al luded to Captain Loose, Mr. C. PHILLIPS objected to anything being stated with regard to Loose which had tot passed in the p resence of the prisoner, as the pris on er was indicted for a substantive fel ony. Lord Chief Justice TINDAL thought where words were equivalent to facts, as explaining, or connected with facts, th en anyth e ATTORNEY-GENERAL regarding Loose might be stated. was not surprised at his Lea rne d T Friend's anxiety. would state nothing with respe c t t o . Loose but what could be' properly proved in evidence. He had mentioned his name only as having signed a bill of lading for goods which had never been shipped, and on which insur cnces had been effected by the prisoner. The Learned Gentleman then proceeded with his s t a t emen t, w hi c h went to show that insurances had been effected to the amount wf 2,0001. in goods, which had never been shipped. With re gard to one oi - his witnesses, he knew that he had been in i.uced by Captain Loose to sign a protest, giving a different account of the casting away of the ship. fie would not Atii at tempt to conceal that he would permit the oof that pro test to be put in as evidence, andnot take an tage of it. The protest, in fact, was as necessary to obtai n isuranees as the casting away the ship, because they would not havebeen paid without a protest, signed by all the crew, and he appre hended that the protest would not at all affect the credit ‘lue to the witnesses' testimony. The Learned Co , insel having con cluded his address, _ _ _ Mr. C. PHILLIrs said that his friend Mr. Jervis, who was for Michael Wallace, had just stated a point as to the jurisdic tion of the Court, which perhaps it might be as well to have argued now. Air. haws was about to proceed, when Lord Chief Justice TINDAL said the objection came too late. Mr. CLARKSON then called, George Herring-1 carry on business at No. 12, Bishops gate-street Within, as a ship-broker. I procured a charter party for Zulieta and Co. and the owners of the ship Dryad. The charterparty produced is the one in question. I am the subscribing rartv. taw it executed by Zu lieta and Co., and M.chael . Wallace. Zulieta and Co. have a house at Liverpool and at London. The ship was en gaged by the London house, subject to the Liverpool kiuse not having engaged a ship. (1 chart , rparty was then put in and read, from which it appeared that Zulieta and - Company chartered the brig Dryad, A 1, burden about 240 tons, for a voyage from Liverpool to Santa Cruz, in the island of Cuha, and that they were to have the whole room in the ship for the purpose of stowage. It was signed by Michael S. S. Wallace, on behalf of the owners of the Dryad. Edward llowden examined by the ATTORNEY -GENERAL—I am in partnership with. Mr. Ainslie as • ship-brokers and ship owners. I knew the brig Dry..d ; we owned one-fourth of her; Mr. Michael Wallace owned the remaining three-fourths. he was chartered in July, 1839, to Zulieta and Co. Mr. Michael Wallace acted as ship's-husband. She was lying at Liverpool. He directed 2,000/. insurances to be effected on the ship, which was done. Mr. C. PHILLIPS objected to this evidence. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE—Part of the res gestic charged is the effecting insurances, and they m us t prove it. The Witness—This is the policy effected on the ship, Michael had a copy of it. ( The policy effected in the. Marine Assur ance Company was then put in and read, the premium in which was 1471., the ship being insured in 2,0001.) There was a total loss claimed upon that in Jan., 1810. I paid three-fourths of what I received to Michael Wallace. I also effected a 100 icy of 3001. at Lloyd's, for the chartered freight, by desire of Michael Walace.—( The policy was put in and read, it was effected at seven guineas per cent.) A total loss was claim, d for, and three-fourths of the money received was paid to Michael Wallace. Michael Wallace had a copy of the policy. Cross-examined by Mr. Pni Li es. r. Wallace pur chased the three-fourths of the ship at the rate of 1,6001. for the whole. After that she was put into dry dock, and made a first-class ship. This was in October, 1.937. Her value was increased in consequence. ,She was coppered. About 6001. was laid out upon . her. Ido not include the stores in that. I should value the stores of the ship at probably 1501. There was no salvage . on the ship to my knowledge. We received a bill fcr 4001. from a person named FroC. It was not for salvage. Ite-examined by the ATTORNEY.GENERAL-.-We ,got the mo ney upon the 400/. bill, and we kept the money and still have it in our possession. The value of the Dryad, in 1639, was 2,000/. ; 1 believe s:te would have sold for that previous to that vovage from Liverpoal to Santa Cruz. We never in sured her under 2,0001. The first voyage she was insured for 2,4001., and afterwards for 2,1001. I did not knew of aoy other policies effected on the si.ip and freight for that voyage at the time she sailed. Samuel Wheatley—l am an insurance-broker. I effected the policy produced for Zulieta and Co. at Loyd's. A total loss was claimed 7th November, 1840, and paid to Zulieta and Co. (The policy was put in and read, and was dated cep . tember 1839, and was for the cargo shipped on board th e Dryad from Liverpool to Santa Cruz. ZIA - cite aid CO. made the declaration of the value; it was dated 17th September. It was effected on hardware, earthenware, sugar mine, pans, ane salt, for 3,0001. It was signed by the . underwritere in my presence. James Shepherd --I below* ' to the Alliance Marine Ineurance Company. I have a policy for 7151. for goods on board the Dryad. It is executed by three of the Directors. ( The policy was then pia in, dated 4th Aug. 1839, and effected in the name of Mr. S. Wallace, on goods shipped on board the Dryad, for the voyage from Liverpool to Cuba, upor; 40 cases of flannels, two cases of cloth, two eases of printed cousin's, making in all 715 i. value, insured at 40s. per cent.) Mr: Stott was the broker who effected the insurance. The bill of lading was brought to the office by Mr. Stott,•when the claim for a total loss was made. The loss was finally settled on Mr. Stott bringing an undertaking to reimburse us if anything should be saved. The cheque produced for the 7151. is the one paid by the office to Mr. Stott on that account. James Grey—l am superintendent of the underwriting de partment of the General Maritime Insurance Company. I produce a policy effected on the Drvad for 1,284/. 12s. It is signed by the Directors. (The policy was then read. It was dated 7th August, 1839, and was effected in the name of James Stott, on the voyage from Liverpool to Santa Cruz, and was On pork, butter, earthenware, cottons, and blankets, valued at 1,2641. 12s. at 40s. per cent.) It was effected by Mr. James Stott. The paper produced is signed by Stott. I paid a sum of 60 par cent. amounting to 1,012/. oil it, as a part fur tile total loss in January, 1840.. At that time the bill of lading now put in was produced by Stott. The cheque produced for 1,0121. is the one I paid Stott or, that occasion. I received the paper of the valuation of the "nods from Stott at the time the in eileinete was efieletech I paid the balance 2531. in October, Mall received from Stott the letter of indemnity produced. The cheque for 2531. is the one produced. James Stott, examined by the ATTOKNEt , 'GENERAL —I have been a ship broker. 1 was brought with Wdon and Johnson. I left them in 1837, and some time after commenced business on my own account as a ship broker at tr, Seething:•lane, Tower street. I became actinaintecl with Patrick Wallace when I Was at Sdlaidti and JohnsOn's. He was an ale and porter merchant, and an importer of bristles and isinglass. His place of business was 18, Cooper's-raw, Tower-hill. He had lived there in. 1839; latterly he lived at WindsoMetracei City-road. He employed me in my hese itesk iii pakeink 6ntribs for Mini lino gave me en order to effect some insurances in Auguit, 1859. it *iki tfi Wilke I 46414 121. on goods by the Dryad with the Mariti me Insurande Office, He gave me a speeifieation of the goods. The one produced is in my writing, copied front His directions, he saw it. I was to showit to the dffiee. (The specificatithi *es pot in and read,) I signed the, slips: Oven by. the Maritime Office, which is now produced. (The §lipii were pet iii and reach) The policy which has been put in was the one I effected. I hittleed it over to Mr. P. Wallace' In February, 1840, he instructed me to claim a loss Upon the Policy, lie brought me the hill of lading; and asked if it was of any elingeait43r co. as hot being stamped: I told him I did not think there would be any objection. It Wits the first tithe I had seen the bill of lading. He went and got it stamped, paying the pentilty I claimed a total loss. Eichty per cent was paid to me by the cheque produced, I litindea it fiver to Patrick Wallace. They declined paying more at that time. The prisoner frequently desired me to than the rertiaitting 20 ed. cent. I did ee, And tlley asked for in undertaking, I Oottimbnielted it to Patrick, with gave me the undertaking produced. It i 3 wholly hi his hand- writing. (The undertaking was then read; it was dated the 9th of October, and was signed " P. AI. S. Wallace.") 'I hey paid ins the remaining 20 per cent., by the cheque produced.

The alai'et grit refused, and I told him so, and that at the office they said they never saw such a protest, and wanted the Captain's letter. .Prisoner said it was no business of his, he had no t go t it , an d would not show titenti I field of he had bitter git it, and he said he would endeavour to de gd. Tfo fin•y4 after he brought the letter, and said it had cost him • two sovereigns, I asked him how it could do so. He said he had given it to Howden and Ainslie's clerk, who bad given him the letter, unknown to both, in order that they should not mention it to his brother, who did hat stislt to done nieanoAncperh. is glpote3roie9s Prisoner nb h ey e r so k anridodewr hise t d h a mb t reo h tt ho e eerff had ewci e ts ff ha e en c d t e i ; d 7su a ir. n a ie n ti s t l u bi r ,ay a r t it i ch c e e e . the Dryad. I ascertained the premium. He gave the the specification produced, I sighed the slip produced, which was made out by the gentleman at the insurance dila. The policy produced is the one I made with the Alliance. I handed it over to the prisoner. I Was instructed to claim a loss on thate A few days after the loss was claimed for froth the Marie time. He gave me the protest, the policy, arid the bill of lading. The bill of lading it nose proditeed. I dEinanded total loss from the Alliance ; they paid the whole Of it. The bill of lading is in the hand-writing of Patrick, and also the one of the goods insured in the Maritime. I have no doubt but that the writing of both hills is in the handwriting of Pa- trick Wallace. Ido not know the writing of Loose: At the Alliance they wanted a letter from his brother. I told Patrick so ; and he'said one from himself would do as well, for he had given one' before to Lindell and Mall for the Neptune Com pany. He gave me the letter produced, signed " 31. S. Wallace." It is in Patrick's hand -writing. (The letter of indemnity to the Alliance was put in and read. ) 1 hey paid a total loss by. the cheque produced. I paid it to Patrick, the prisoner. The London and Westminster Bank were Patrick Wallace's bankers. The cheque is crossed " Lon don and Westminster Banking Company:" The receipt pro duced is in Patrick Wallace's writing, and was given to me by him on receiving the cheque. I asked him if he had received any further information from the wreck, and he said his bro ther had received a letter. I said that was all right, and asked for it to take to the Maritime Insurance Office. He said he wished they might ge t it, f or h e did not inten a d d t t o ha sh t v o l ve a it s to them—they had t h e pro t est an d th e p o licy, a all that was required by law to settle it, and if they did not. settle before the twelvemonth was up, he would make them. 1 said it would be better t do it amicably if they could. I asked tee particulars of the letter. He said there were some pans saved, but no beef or pork. He laughed when he said no beef or pork. I asked - what he was • laughing at. He said Loose had done the job very well I asked him what job ?He laughed again, and said I was not half awake. He requested me to write a letter to the Consul at Cuba. It had been sug gested by the Maritime Insurance Company, and I told him. I wrote a letter by hie desire to the Consul. The one produced is a copy, in Patrick's writing. (It was then put in and read. It was dated 15th of March, 1810, signed James Stott, and addressed to Job Hardy, jun., Esq., requesting him to obtain such information as to the goods saved out of the Dryad as might enable him to come to a settlement respect ing the insurance, and stating th a t the communication was in confidence.) P a t r i c k directed the P.S. about confidence. I asked him why he so required it. He said do as I direct you or let it alone. He said the reason was, that the merchants not having filled up the ship according to their charterparty, his brother and himself had tilled her up them selves. He did not wish them to know it or they would charge freight. He also said he did not wish Captain Loose to hear that be was malting inquiry. An answer was received statin g hodthat the capt a i n brought the papers to England. Patrick said neither Loose nor papers ever would arrive. That was said on my showing him the answer to the letter. I asked him his after es th li a e t I mien for saying so. He said Loose was a great rogue, aho m tli n e n S th tat ha't picked up all he could frotrn the wreck, and gone away to from Capt. Loom. He said,he believed he was dead. That he had died on board the Premier coming home. I asked him made asked that iofbhseerhvaadt iyjofukritnliglyr. intelligence Abo a if he had received his papers. He said the captain's trunk had been opened,- and there -were no papers. I af terwards asked if his friends had got any information as to Loose's death, when he said he believed he was not dead, but in London, and had been three weeks. I asked why, if he was in London, be did not go to the elarititne to get a settle ment, as I thought his word would be sufficient ; he replied that he wished they might get Captain Loose there, but he was quite sure he would not go, he had not even gone to settle hisinsurance for his own chronometer. I afterwards saw Patrick in an offi , w which- he' had ire Crosby-hell Cliaan' , er:. asked hi,n if he • ca C • a;ti 1,4 •• not in London ; doss vta, 4,:u11t weei, tion. He said lie wished he was in London, for he would give him a ship directly, he was a very clever fellow, and deserved all he had got, for he had done th Drrt d's j' b very clean. I said he must have been well paid it he had done so. He laughed, and said a thousand or two, that was all. I recollect when the prisoner was taken into custody on 27th November, I saw him at the Mansion-house, and asked him what was the meaning of it ; he said it was the Dryad. I s reel then my suspicions all along had been correct. He said it was a bad job, but I need not fear, because I was only the agent, but he was afraid he should be transported. I said why should you fear that, you were not master of the ship. He said, Oh ! the goods were never on board. There are papers in the house which will prove me guilty. I had been taken into custody at this time. The conversation was about five minutes before we went up before the Lord Mayor. I saw him several times while he was in custody. Going back in the coach he told Roe, the officer, he should be after his brother, as he was the rogue ; all he had done was for him. do not believe he would have been in this scrape except for his brother. The examination in chief of the witness being concluded the Court adjourned for refreshment at two o ' c l oc k, before going into the cross examination. The Court re-assembled at half-past two, when Mr. PHIL- Lips proceeded with the • cross-examination of the witness Stott—lt was about three weeks after the conversation relating to Zulieta that prisoner was taken up. I was taken up at the same lime. Mr. Phillips, jun., was in the room at the Mansion-house when the conversation took place ; lie interrupted us, and told me I must not speak to him. Almost all his conversations were in a jocular manner. I told him that I had heard of ships being sent out on purpose to be lost, and I asked him it the Dryad was one of those. He became exceedingly in dignant, and threwened to kick me out of the room. I missed him from London about July last. He told me he was absent at St. Petersburgh on business. Mr. PHILLIPS—Did you sukipose there was anything wrong ill this young man about this business? Witness—l thought there was something very curious about it, but I did not suspect any fraud. His brother was taken up about three weeks after Patrick was in his custody. I saw his sisters in the ante-room at the Mansion-house the day I was there last, but had no conversation with them. Re-examined by the ATTORNEY-GENERAL—I never had any difference with Patrick Wallace. Mr. Michael Wills—l am Secretary of the Neptune In surance Company. The policy produced was effected with that Company . on the ship Dryad and her outfit for 2,7001. I am the subscribing witness to its execution: It is signed by Michael Wallace. I am the subscribing witness to another policy, dated 17th August same year, for the chartered freight of the same ship on the same voyage, from Liverpool to Santa Cruz, for 7001. lam also the subscribing witness to a third policy, dated 21st August, 1839, for 6871. for roods shipped on board the same ve : sel, for 33 tie r ce s o f beef, 43 bat refs of pork, 35 firkins of butter, and 30 crates of earthenware. The bill of lading is the one which was produced on paying the loss. There was a total loss pa'd on the three policies. Ido not know the writing, of the body of the bill of lading. Mr. Stott recalled—Swore the bill of lading was in Patrick Wallace's writing. Mr. Wills's examination continued—The cheques produced are those by which I paid the sums claimed. Before they were finally settled the office required a letter of indemnity. The letter produced sv,:s given in respect of the goods. The in surance on the goods was cif, ct• d by Linder and Hall, and that on the ship and freight by Se.den a ,d Johnson. I received two letters of indemnity, one from each party. (Mir. Srott proved that the body of the one received from Selden and John son was written by Mr. Selden, and signed by Mr. Wallace. The one from Linder and Hall, Stott could not swear to the handwriting of the body, but the signature was Patrick Wal lace's writing.) 'I he papers produced are the slips produced at the office on which the policies were prepared. Thomas Johnson examined by Mr. BODKIN—I am a ship and insurance broker, in partnership with Mr. Selden I ef fected the policies produced in the Neptune for Michael Wal lace. I did not see him personally on the subject. I received the letters produced in the course of these transactions. I be lieve them to be Michael Wallace's hand-writing. I have never seen him write, but have corresponded with him. (The letters were put in and read ; they were ordering the witness to effect insurances in any of the Companies except the Ma rine and Lloyd's on the Dryad, and her chartered freight out and home.) The papers pro duced are the slips by which the policies were effected by our firm. My partner received the amount of the policies as for a total less, by desire of Michael Wallace on the sth February, 1840. I received the total amount. The check now produced is in my partner's hand writing • it is signed on the back by Michael S. Wallace, and is for the total amount less our commission and premium. Mr. Robert Selden—l am the partner of the last witness. The cheque produced is in my hand-writing. I delivered it to Michael Wallace. Henry Hall—l am in partnex , hip with Mr. Linder as ship brokers. The policy produced was effected in the Neptune by us, by the order of Patrick Wallace. I made gut any slip fsr the purpose of taking to the Neptune frcm the Slip handed to me by Patrick Wallace. I have not Patrick Wallace's slip In my possession. I afterwards made a claim as for a tstal less, by Patrick Wallace's directioni. The day after effecting the' insurance with the Neptune; I effected an insurance witli.the Mutual Indemnity Marine Assurance Company by the directions of Michael Wallace. I afterwards claimed for a total loss by the direction of Patrick Wallace, who gave me the bill of lading produced, which refers to the Neptune. Oa 29th Ja nuary, 1840, I received the letter produced, signed by Michael Wallace, directing us to pay the money received from the Mu tual to his brother Patrick. He received the money from the Mutual, and paid Mr. Wallace 500/. on account about ..:9th January. On sth February, 1 received the amount from the Neptune, and gave to Mr. Linder, jun., our clerk, a cheque for 7001. It is the one produced. I gave it him to pay to the prisoner. That was on account of the balance due on both po lices. Mr. W. Stuart —I am the subscribing witness to the policy produced. It is executed by two of our di rec t ors , M r . W. As tell and Mr, G. Hibbert, directors of the Mutual Company. (It was executed 22d August, 1839, for freight of Dryad from Liverpool ) Mr. Oliver Thomas Linder—l am a clerk to Linder and MA ship-brokers. I received from Air. Hall the cheque pro duced for 700!., to be paid to the prisoner Patrick Wallace. I paid it to him, and he indorsed it in my presence. The cheque for 5001. was paid la our counting-house to the pri soner, Patrick Wallace. The body of the letter of indemnity POduced is in my writing. It was signed in my preseticu by atrick Wallace. Mr. Francis Lewis Philip Secretun—l am an underwriter on the policy produced for 3001. Mr. S. llarshall—l am an underwriter upon the policy produced for 700/. There are fourteen other underwriters to the same policy. Mr. Lodge—l am Secretary to the Marine Assurance Com ' pany, and am subscribing Witness to a policy subscribed by two of our Directors, and effected on the ship Dryad fur 2,000/. In January 1840, a claim was made for a total loss, which was adjusted an tith of the same month, with Howding and Ains lie, hy paying them a cheque for 1,411/. 195., being the balance due to them after deducting our account against them for premiums. Air, Charles Bahr—l am in partnership with Mr. Beherens, at Liverpool, We are ship and insurince brokers. The pplicy produced was effected by our firm for Mr. Michael Waliee. I saw him at Liverpool on the subject. Ido not recollect Whether 1 ever saw Captain Loose. He was at our office. Ido not know if Michael Wallace was there at the time. 1 claimed under that policy as for a total lo , s in January 1840. I received 5001. on the policy. It is for 6501. It is 500/. on the ship Dryad, and 1501. on the Captain's effects. litre paid the 500/. wo had received to Michael Wallace. We claimed thti Captain's insurance by desire of Mr. Wallace. It was not paid. Michel Wallace told us to insure 150/. on the master's effects. In consequence of some inquiries, I gave the pokey up. Cross-examined by Mr. PHILLIPS—We did not press the claim 14 the Captain's effects. Mr. Frost—knows Capt. Loose's handwriting. The signature to the bill of lading produced is in Capt. Loose's handwriting. Peter Kelly—l was a clerk in the employment of Zulieta and Co. I entered their employment in 1831. They carried tin business in Liverpool and Londoo. I belonged to the Li idtiVeel estt,blishmerit Upwards of nine years. They were ex porters of goodg Cuhsf. I recollect their freighting the brig Dryad in 1639. I was t lie :lifting clerk. I saw the Dryad lying in St. George's Dock, at Liter #O4: I then became ac qiiiiiiited , t , ittft Capt. Loose, as the master of the Dryad. I was on beilid hei front tints to time. I knew Michael Wallace as part owner of the veas,q, aud saw him ai; 'Liverpool while she was loading. I never saw hitvt on board the Dryad. He requested me to despatch the tell—that IYA 4 in August, 1839. I saw him two or three tit s: Ship itaS advertised for Cuba. No goods offered folf Iser; except Zelleta 4 ii gOOdt 1 saw the goods on board that they sent on board. 'the bill of I sling is the one for those goods— it was made according to my direction, and contains the whole of the goods shipped by Zulieta and Co. We were about a week putting the goods on board. She lay close to the Quay. The gusde were seat in carts and barges to the Dryad. They were all oft board on the sth of September. I was on board the Dryad after they were shipped. Ido not knew of any other goods being on board. If there had been several tierces of beef and pork, crates of earthenware, cases of flannel, firkins of butter, and cases of cotton goods I might have seert them: I tind not gee any other goods besides those mentioned in the hill of latlingi of Zulieta and Co. I was last on board a day or two before she saited, and I did not at that dint see any goods on board but those belonging to Zulieta and Co: If goods had offered according to the course of praetice they cold hat hive gone on board without an order Path the eonsigneesß Zulieta and Co. They had the whole of the vessel outward.: If wts part of my duty to see that no other goods were put on board, If I had seen any other goods it waled have been my duty to have named it. Neither Michael Wallace tier Captain Loose ever applied to me to take any goods on board. I do not think the goods and pro visions you hate mentioned would occupy a very large space. Earthenware would occupy a very large space. Beef, pork, and butter not occupy a space anything like earthenware. Eighty cratBsl of 'earthenware would occupy a space of eighty tons. The whole with beef and pork might occupy 90 tons of space. I scarcely think 90 tons of goods could have been on board the Dryad in addition to Zu lieta's goods without my perceiv.ng it. By the JUDGE—The tonnage of the ship was 204 tons. By the Arroaxer-GertertAL—l saw Zulieta's goods stowed away—they would fill about two-thirds of the ship. I should say they were sufficient to fill her rep as she was filled when I last saw her. I was present when the captain made his decta • ration at the Cust.m-house. The vessel is generally loaded before she is cleated at the Custom-house. The raii;t6r's de claration is the act of clearing her. Goods are sonftitheS taken on board after that; in that case there ought to be a fresh entry. There was no second entry of the Dryad. I was down the day that she sailed, but did not go on board. At the time she was cleared she was two-thirds filled. I recollect Maxwell the mate going to the ship. He came to me two days before she sailed. 1 had been on board down to the time that he came on board. Up to that time she had been as I have described. Cross-examined . by Mr. PHILLIPS—She came to Liverpool in July and August. I was not on board night and day. My employers had chartered the vessel, and if any goods ha , l been put on board they must have paid the freight; so that if any persons wished to ship goods without paying the freight they must have been put on board clandestinely. Capt. Loose did not take a dock berth. She mutt have been approached by boats on one side. There was no access to her from the river. Things were put down into the hold after I had been in the hold. It is customary occasionally to ship earthenware fos Cuba. It might have been a week before she sailed that I was last in her hold. Mr. Plituars—ls it not sometimes customary to ship goods at Liverpool in fraud of the charterer ? Witne,s—lt might have been done, but never to my know ledge. I am the person of all others from whom the knowledge of such a fact would have been concealed in relation to the Dryad, because it would have been my duty to inform my employers. Go .dc might have been put on board without my knowledge. There were ten kegs of paint put on board, and no entry after the declaration. Mr. Putwrs—Were there not fifteen kegs of paint and some hardware put on board after the declaration?—l believe there were. I ordered them on board. I did not make a fresh clearance at the Custom-house. They did net pay the duty. It was so trifling it was not worth while to make a fresh declaration. Re-examined by the ATTORNEY-GENERAL—We tried to get gods for her down tck_the last hour. .No goods could g o 0,, I, oar d t, e f or , our:.

Earthenware and 544 are shilipiti froth lighters, and other goods from the shore. It would take a day 61 eight or nine working hours, to *hip e;ghty crates of earthenware. It would require the use of tackle on board, and a good many hands. The provisions would require two or three hours to ship them. I could see the hold from the main hatchway without going down. I hurl. than opportunity within three days before the ship sailed. Down to the time of her sailing, we would have taken any goods, that. offered. Thomas Sherlock—l am the clerk and examiner, and clearer in the Long-room, Customs, Liverpool. I produce the Bill of entry and declaration of the master of the Dryad, dated Aug. 1839. ( The documents were put in and read, and proved to be signed by Captain Loose and Peter Kelly, and r.lated solely to the goods shipped by Zulieta and Co.) The export duty on earthenware is 10s. per cwt. Salt is free. The entry and declaration are all the documents we have at the Custom-house relating to the Dryad. The docks cannot be entered except at high water, when there is always some one watching. I should say it was almost impossible to ship any thing which would take eight or nine hours to ship without any one knowing any thing about it. The entries and the master's declaration correspond, we have nothing to do with the bill of lading. No ma'erial was elic:ted in the course of the cross-exa- Captain John Meek—l was master of a vessel called the Bencoolen in 1839. I was bound to Cape Hayti from La guryra. On 23d October, the Bencoolen was off the harbour at Cape Hayti. Her burden was 410 tons. While off the harbour I was boarded by a pilot. Three pilots came on b 'ard. '1 here is a reef of rocks about three miles from the place where the pilot bearded us. I observed a brig to the eastward. She turned out to be the Dryad, Captain Loose. She was going right stem on to the reef. The reef is laid down in the chart, and well known to mariners '1 hey are laid down in the chart produced. There is a bank, called the Silver Bank. The reef she was going on is called the Reef of the Harbour of Cape Hayti. They ;orm the outside of the harbour, and ex tend about fifteen miles to the eastward. We w aited to see if the brig would alter her course. She did not. Our pilot made a remark. I fired a gun as a signal to the brig to warn_lbon of their danger. ohe paid no attention, 614;4.1 e but still ea on. I ordered the pilot to go away with his bo rect.y and go on board the vessel. He pulled to her and anted her. She did not alter her course until the pilot boarded her, but continued going in the direction of the reef. There was a light westerly wind blowing at the time. She could have avoided the reef. When the pilot went on board she alterpd her course and came into the harbour. I saw Loose on shore - there. I observed that. the Dryad's rudder had been unshipped and a jury rudder made. Several gudgeons had been unshipped. I atteoded a survey on board the vessel. The brig was surveyed, and certain repairs were ordered. There is a gentleman there acting as Lloyd'i; agent. I remained at Cape Hayti seven weeks. Tile Dryad remained a fortnight. I frequently saw Loose. I. conversed with h.m about the brig, where she had been, and what had happened to her. Mr. CLAuxsow—Did you learn from him what had been the effect of your sending the pilot on board him ? Mr. PHILLIPS objected to any evidence being gone into re garding. Louse. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL and Mr. CLA RKSON contended that they had a right to put the question in order to bring the case home to Loose. Lord Chief Justice TINDAL said they had no light to elicit any declaration of the Captain unaccompanied by any act. They could only take his declarations in evidence against the prisoner, where those declarations were accompanied by acts. Examination continued—l saw Looie during the survey. I saw tho mate of the Dryad, Ronald -Maxwell, soon alter I arrived. He applied to me for a berth. I met the captain at Killick with the mate. The captain paid the mare his wages and discharged him. I asked the mate the reason of his ap plying to me for a berth, and he gave me a reason. I gave him a berth. I saw some of the crew on board; they made com• plaints in my hearing. I remember the brig leaving to proceed to Cuba after her repairs. The day after I saw Colonel Bi-- lister, the Colonel of the port. He made a remark to me, and. three or four days after I heard of the loss of the Dryad. I saw down the aft hatchway when I was surveying her, and she appeared about two-thirds full of goods. I never saw her log book, nor do I know of any one who ever did see it. From what I saw of her course it appeared to me she had an oppor tunity of avoiding the reefs before I fired the glib. She had no business there at all—there was nothing in the state of the weather to drive her there. Cross-examined by Mr. DoANE—I know Maxwell. I have seen him here to-day. I heard a person taken out of Court just now, I believe it was Maxv♦ell's voice. I believe he must have been tipy. Re-examined. 4 do not know who made him so, or whether he made himself so. ( While the witness was under examination'a man in a state of intoxication was endeavouring to obtain admission into the Court, but he was quickly removed by the officers.) The Court adjourned at a quarter to six o'clock until to morrow. (NEW COURT.) (Berore Mr. Just ice WILLIAMS and the COMMON SERGEANT. ) TRIAL OF CAPTAIN DOUGLAS. —Captain Douglas, accorn • panied by several military friends, entered the Court at half past 10 o'clock, and surrendered himself into the custody of Dlr. Cope. At I t o'clock Mr. Justice Williams came into Court, when Captain Douglas and two of his friends entered the dock. Some delay, however, was occasioned by one of the witnesses (Sir James Anderson) not being in attendance. Inspector Busain said he had not served Sir James An derson with any fresh notice of trial since the last sessions. He had not seen him this morning. Shortly afterwards Sir James arrived. The case of the " Queen v. Douglas" having been called on, Captain Douglas and two of his friends advanced to the bar. Mr. Justice WILMA AIS—I see, prisoner, that yeu have some friends in the dock with you. Is it your wish that they should remain ? • Captain Douglas—lt is, my Lord. Air. Justice Wiwams—Then I see no objection. The Clerk of the Arraigns then read the indictment. It charged the prisoner, John Douglas, with having, on the 12th of September last, in the parish of Wandsworth, fired or as sist, d to tire, a loaded pistol at Harvey Garnett Phipps Tuckett. In another count he was charged with intent to do him some bodily harm. On being asked the usual question, Guilty or Not Guilty, Captain Douglas replied, Not Guilty. Mr. Thesiger, Mr. Wrangham, Air. Adolphus, and Mr. Bodkin, appeared for the prisoner. No counsel was engaged for the prosecution. [The witnesses called were the same as were examined upon the late trial of Lord Carrigan in the House of Lords ; and their evidence was merely a repetition of what was given by them on that occasion. It may be ,remarked that not o ne o f the witnesses could swear to the identity of Capt. Douglas.] The case for the prosecution having closed, Mr. THESIGER rose, and was about to address the Jury for the prisoner, when Air. Justice WiLLIAMs intimated that it was unnecessary. After a short consultation with the Common Sergeant, Mr. Justice Wiwasis said—Gentlemen of the Jury, when the case was first called on I was very much surprised on being informed that no Counsel was instructed in support of the prosecution. This is a circumstance that 1 exceedingly regret, as it has thrown upon me the difficult and arduous task of examining the witnesses. I have, however, performed that duty to the best of my power and ability. I have called before you and examined all the witnesses whose names appear on the back of the bill. I have examined them all with the greatest care and attention. I have also inquired if there were any other witnesses who . could be produced capable of giving evidence, and no one answered. 1 feel it, therefore, my duty to say I am clearly of opinion that the evidence which has been adduced is not sufficient to support the indictment—in fact, that there is •no rase whatever to go to a Jury. No doubt on the 12th of December a duel was fought on Wimbledon Common ; and that after it a man was wounded; but there is no legal evidence to prove that the prisoner at the bar took part i n the transaction. The prisoner was charged in the first count with maliciously shooting at Harvey Garnett Phipps Tuckett ; now a card has been produced, which I have seen, bnt it cannot be received in evidence, for on that card the words Harvey Tuckett only appear; it is c!ear there was no legal identity. Mrs. Dann could not speak to the identity of the prisoner, who, when she was asked if she knew any of the gentlemen at the bar, pointing to Captain Douglas, said that she thought he was the gentleman who was wounded. In short, the evidence had totally failed to support the indictment, and therefore the prisoner was entitled to his acquittal. The Jury immediately returned a verdict of—Not Guilty. Captain Douglas and his friends afterwards left the Court. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HO USE. Two dentists, Mr. Madan, of Ludgate-hill, and Mr. Albert, of Moorgate-street, were summoned before Sir Peter Laurie, to answer the complaint of a lady of the name of Folkard, who had dealt with them for teeth, The defendants did not at tend, as they considered the case to be out of the jurisdiction of a Magistrate ; but Mr. Richards, a solicitor, represented them. Air. Hobler, jun. attended for Mrs. Folkard. Mrs. Folkard stated that having seen in a newspaper an ad vertisement about cheap teeth, to be had off M. Albert, of No. 41, Moorgate-street, and being in want of a supply, she called upon that dentist in June last, told him that she re: quired the teeth for use and not ornament, and if they could not be made useful, not to mind her mouth at all. He as sured her that he could accommodate her with teeth which would prove as useful for the purposes of mastication and arti culation as the genuine growth of nature, and that 10 guineas would be the charge. The bargain was made, and the teeth were in due time produced and fitted into her mouth, and she paid the demand. She was not, however, satisfied with her newly-purchased mouthful, and she said so ; but Mr. Albert assured her that when they were accustomed to her mouth they would work pleasantly. Afterwards she employed the same gentleman, upon his persuasion, to make another set of teeth for her, for which she was to give fourteen guineas. The new set proved to be gross misfits, and broke while in ac tive use in the corner of her jaw. Mr. Albert then said that he would make her another set of a superior kind, for which he must charge her twenty guineas, and he ultimately agreed to let her have the third set,instead of the second, for 20/.145., which money she paid. The teeth, however, turned out quite contrary to her expectation, and not only misfitted, but lacerated her mouth, and she called frequently to complain and to have the faults corrected. At last Mr. Albert introduced her to Mr. Malian, whose pupil he had been. Mr. Malian examined her mouth, and said it was a difficult one "to fit up." She replied that s h e slid not thick it was hard to fit her, amid he then took out the tee s . ll3, looked at them; and said th ey were wort h no thing, and that ;•oung persons did them so c h eap t h at t h ey could not be ex ecten he very good. Sir PETE a LA U aIE—NV 1,;.: ! Mr. Malian objected to the p cheapness of the article ! Why he advertises the c h ea p es t i n the world.--(A laugh. ) Mrs. Folkard said that such was the opinion Mr. Malian uttered. He then looked into her mouth again, and pull , d it about a good deal. She cautioned him against disturbing a tooth which she had in her jaw, but instead of attending to her requ , st he actually forced it out with his thumb. Sir PETER LAURIE—What! he deprived you of the only tooth you had of your own ? Mrs. Folkard said she did not say it was the only tooth. At all events, Mr. Maltau forced it out, and he then took a model of her mouth, and told her that for another 100/. he would make her a very superior set, which would last her for her life. Sir P. LAU RIE —One hundred pounds ! Is it possible ? Mrs. Folkard said it was the fact. She said that she could not afford such a sum, but he penuaded her to have the teeth, as she wanted them for real use. He said that he would con sider the money she had already paid to Mr. Albert as a de posit. and allow bir it, otherwise he could not supvly them for less than 1301. or 1401. He had, upon taking Mr. Albert's new set of teeth out of her mouth, broken them in pieces as useless. Upon subsequently calling at Mr. Malian s house, that gentleman put the set of teeth he had agreed to make into her month, and she paid him the hundred pounds in a fifty, two twenty, and two five pound notes. Sir P. LAURIE—WeII, how did these superior teeth answer? Mrs. Folkard declared that they did not answer at all, but were worse than Mr. Albert's, and Mr. Alallan wished her very.much to take them home, but she would insist upon a, ,, : -h;cl r 010.1 make her a called in vain. Sir P. LAURIE—.When did you pay Mr. Malian the money? Mrs. Folkard said that she hal paid for them on the Oh of August. Sir P. LAURIE—Did you ever apply to him for the. money? Mrs. Folkard replied that she never made any application of the kind. Sir P. LAURIE asked her whether she had a receipt for the money? Mrs. Folkard said that Mr. Malian gave her as o re rt of acknowledgment, but the amount was not stated i n it. wished him to specify the sum, but he said it was not his prac tice to do so. Sir P. LAURIE—I happen to know the solicitor who at tends for Mr. Malian and Mr. Albert, and that he is a most respectable man ; and lam convinced that he will interfere to have justice done to you. Mr. Richard; said that Mr. Malian was di Q pos ed to slo every thing that ought w be done 'in the case, and never had ob jected to complete his undertaking fur Mrs. Folkard ; but the lady had been excessiveil troublesome, and had in an =get tone threatened to make a complaint to the Lord Mayor on the subject. Mr. Hobler, jun., said that nothing could be more natural than his client's complaint. Sir P. L; URIE asked Mrs. Folkard whether she felt more inconvenience from the high-priced teeth than from the other teeth ? Mrs. Folkard—Much more. I took a crust to try, but I could not swallow at all ; and I was pulled very severely about the mouth. lam sure nobody would allay', such rough treat ment. You. have no idea how I was polled abo ut by 31r• Mr. Hobler, jun.—lt is not easy to get ladies to come for ward in cases of this kind, Sir Peter Laurie. Sir P. &tutus—l know that perfectly well. It is emu' dered a point of delicacy, and few would have the courage which Mrs. Folkard has shown. I shall adjourn this ease tiu this day fortnight, and I hope I shall hear of an arrangement through the mediation of the gentleman who atiWds on the part of the dentists.
