MORNING EDITION ,---- -- SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE DAILY PAPERS OP YESTERDAY. TlMES.—According to our latest advices from the United States, it is quite evident that the M'Leod affair is about to be amicably huddled up in a series of ingeniously-contrived shifts, which we cannot but think savour rather strongly of elaborate skulking. The changes, indeed, which American tactics have undergone upon this once portentous subject,. are somewhat curious. Not long ago the fury of the Lockport population against our imprisoned countryman was so great, t ea t, in or der to give him a chance for his life, the venue was to be re moved from that neighbourhood to the distant town of Albany. It now appears that, notwithstanding the bad blood of the Lockportians, it is the opinion of judicious men that they would give him a fair trial. Formerly, the presumptive proofs of the prisoner's guilt were said to leave little doubt that his crime would bring him o execution ; but, we learn the impression is now general that the accused is entirely innocent. By the last mail we were given to understand that the mere clemency of the American Go vernment had appointed M'Leod to be tried at Albany : yet later accounts assure us that the place as well as the time of his trial shall be left to his own discretion. Scarcely a month has elapsed since we were informed that he was subjected to severe restraints and privations : it turns out latterly, however, that besides the privilege of seeing his friends whenever he chooses, he enjoys at present every reasonable comfort and in dulgence. At first, the Americans would listen to no repre sentations from any quarter that might retard the course of jus tice : but, on further reflection, every facility is to be granted for preparing his defence, and any length of time will be allow ed to enable him to collect testimony. In a word, owing to an informality on the part of his arraigners (doubtless an unpremeditated one) his long anticipated trial has not only gone off, but has been carefully allowed to do so, under such lucky circumstances as may legally warrant the prisoner to demand his immediate release : nay, the tables are so far turned, that after having made every necessary arrangement to enable him to obtain his discharge without let or hindrance, his outwitted persecutors are so provoked at his refusal to do so, that they are now accusing him of sordid motives, declar ing that his recent difficulties have been occasioned by his own vain boastings, and that he calculates upon being well paid for his wrongful sufferings—perhaps by bills on some of the Michi gan banks, whose chests of specie have been found to consist chiefly of lead, iron nails, metal buttons, and such like pon derous bullion ! Really, all this is very pitiful. CHRONICLE.--:11r. Larpent met the liberal electors of Nottingham on Thursday evening last, when he stated the grounds on which he claimed their support as successor to the lamented General Ferguson. The chair was taken by Lord Rancliffe. Mr. Larpent is a strenous supporter of the rights of industry, and forcibly desribed the evilssuffered by the com munity in general, but more particularly the working classes, from the Corn-laws. He avowed himself a friend of education, of an extension of the suffrage, and of the ballot; and declared himself hostile to church-rates. On the motion of Lord Ran cliffe, Mr. Larpent was declared a fit and proper person to represent them in Parliament, and the motion was unanimously adopted. Wr. Walter has started on the ground of perse vering opposition to the new Poor-law, and the Times does not certainly underrate the consequence of that gentleman, when it tells us " that the election of Mr. O'Connell for Clare, or of Lord Brougham for Yorkshire, did not produce a strong er influence upon the prospects of Roman Catholic Emancipation or Parliamentary Reform than the return of Mr. Walter for Nottingham, at the present moment, may have upon the future course of the Poor-law question. Ask the Commissioners, ask Lord John Russell in his character of their mouth-piece, what individual they would wish, above all others, to keep out of Par liament? They would unhesitatingly answer Mr. Walter." Mr. Walter's opposition to the new Poor-law appears to more advantage in the columns of the Times than it would in the House of Commons. That Lord John Russell would wish to exclude Mr. Walter from the House of Commons is no doubt true, because Mr. Waiter would vote with the Tories ; but that he would wish to exclude him from any dread of his eloquence remands us of the Memoirs of P. P., showing the importance of a man to himself. Mr. Wakley will yield to no man, either in the House or out of it, for hostility to the new Poor-law, for it is impossible to carry opposition to it to a more extravagant length than he has done. Although we cannot say much for the wisdom or the logic of his philippics against this law, yet, as pieces of invective, as inflamma tory appeals to the prejudices of the humble classes, they are superior to anything which Mr. Walter could produce in this way. Yet Lerd John Russell, so far from being disconcerted by Mr. Wakley's opposition, gave that Honourable Gentleman some stunning blows; and we rather think that the Honourable Member for Finsbury himself felt at the time that he had been quite sufficiently punished. No, were Mr. Walter to be returned for the liberal town of Not tingham, as General Ferguson's successor, the event could not fail to suggest painful reflections on the defection of so distin guished an asylum of civil and religious liberty from the cause of reform ; but herein would consist the whole of the loss. We have seen the resolutions of a body of Chartists, pledging themselves to support Mr. Walter; but part of the Chartists are so wayward and in consistent, that hardly anything they resolve on surprises us. We do not believe that any great proportion of the body will openly join Mr. Walter and the Tories. The Reformers will, to a man, support Mr. Larpent, and the Tories will sup port Mr. Walter. The former may not be satisfied with parts of the new Poor-law, but Mr. Walter is fanatical in his oppo sition to it. The Poor-law is, with him, all in all. But the Reformers of Nottingham will not feel themselves justified in returning a Tory to the House of Commons, merely on ac count of his reckless hostility to one law, which may not be all that they could wish it to be, but which could not be repealed for the sake of a return to the old state of things, without throwing the country into utter confusion. GLOBE. —The Times has long ceased to be the organ of any fixed opinion upon any matter whatsoever; but upon the affiirs of Tu; key and Egypt it has been more than usually in contradiction to itself. One day it has been for the Sultan, another day for Mehemet Ali ; and so by turns it has varied its language and opinions according to the shifting influences by which it has been guided. Saturday last was Mehemet Ali's day, and baffled in trigue. thwarted cabal, and defeated plotting, rode in the ascendant. Lord Palmerston and Lord Ponsonby were the natural objects of attack, because they have been mainly instrumental in marring such plots, foreign and domestic. But spite is sometimes bland, and so it has happened in this instance. Lord Pal merston is attacked because he would not or could not, on a certain day in March, tell the House of , Com mons what the Conference thought of the hatti-scheriff of the 13th of February; and the writer in the Times thinks he has proved his charge against the Foreign Se cretary by pointing out that the very day alter he had de clined to enter into such an explanation, the Conference signed a note in which they recorded their opinion of that hatti-scheriff. Why, what a dolt this Mchcmet Ali man must be 1 This very fact is the justification of the reserve of Lord Palmerston; for how could he tell what the Conference would decide on the following day ? There might, indeed, have been considerations connected with a due respect to the other Powers, which might have rendered it unfitting for him to have stated what the Conference of the Four Powers had written the day before, if that which they wrote had been wri:ten the day before ; but to blame him for not saying what they would write the day after, is really too stupid to require a serious answer. Then, again, Lord Ponsonby is repre sented as the author of all evil in this Turco- Egyptian affair, and simply, forsooth, because it is well known that his energy and activity have contributed greatly to the success of the Allies. But what would the writer in the Times say if it should turn out that Lord Ponsonby was not consulted as to the drawing up and wording of those hatti-scheriffs ? —That they were prepared chieSy by the Aus trian Minister at Constantinople and by the Turkish Ca binet; but that the principle on which the article in the hatti-scheriff about the mode of succession for Mehemet Ali's descendants was framed, had been unanimously agreed to a fortnight before by the representatives of all the Four Powers at Constantinople, when proposed to them by the Porte, and that Lord Punsonby is not more re sponsible for that principle than are the repre,entatives o Austria, of Russia, and of Prussia. We have heard thw this is so, and we believe it. STANDARD.—Of all classes who felt ag4rieved by the old administration of the Poor-laws, the landholders had the most just reason to complain. The whole bur. then of the maintenance of the poor fell upon them, while the manufacturers had all the benefit of the provision. They, the manufacturers, received the labourers without the expenso of rearing them, and then threw them back when " used up" (to borrow the hu mane phrase of the mill), to be supported by a class who had never derived a shilling profit from their labour. This had a doubly injurious effect upon the landlords, who saw their estates drained of a youthful and vigorous population, leav ing only a caput mortuum of old men and females, the un profitable stock constantly augmenting by the returned refuse of the manufactures when worn out; add to this, the enormous expense of litigation arising out of the uncertain titles to settlement of a circulating population. Had the de mand for labour in agriculture kept pace with the demand for labour in manufactotiei, the evil of this system might have been less severely felt ; but the reverse was the case. The rapid accumulation of capital introduced a mode of farming in which money was, to a great extent, the sub stitute for labour, and the landowners found their own unem ployed population increasing, at the same time that the manufactures were pouring back upon them a flood of paupers. Hence "the allowance system" and all the other contrivances by which it was sought to make th e brurthen of supporting the worn-out labourers in some tees. sore proportioned to the profit previously derived from th • labour. These considerations are, we think, sufficient to explain why a great number of landholders should anxiously look for some modification of the old law. A modification was offered, but it was based upon a false principle. Instead of attacking the real cause of the evil of pauperism —the undue profits ob tained by capitalists and manufacturers at the expense of the labourers, first, and afterwards of the landholder , .... the Poe-law reformers directed all their jealousy Pgainat the labouri,g class ; and as these were the in mediate occasions of loss to the landholders, the lattsr its many instances looked no further, and joined in the cry against them. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. FROM Trig MORNING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. TIMES.—It was mentioned incidentally, some time ago, t h at a joint-stock bank of issue in Lancashire had been a se vere sufferer from the failur e of a house in the bookselli ng and I s tationery line. The t ransactions of this firm turn out to hare been of a very extensive description, an d one more j oint-stock bee n in the country is talked of as having trusted her house in the same trade to a serious amount, upon anotbills of a very inferior description. It appears to us strange that the managers of these country banks should be so lax in their manner of doing business ; as we fell convinced that, had they exercised even a very mode rate degree of circumspection, they must have their power Is c h ec k th e unwarrantable syst em of i modation which was for some time carried on by the parties referr e d t o , w ith so cons iderable a di sp l ay of ingenuity. They seem t o h ave b een bli n d e d by th e d ev i ces of the book sellers, wh o h ave , i t i s sa id , implicated several o f t h e bill brokers likewise, and some of the City Banks. The plan adopted was, to place some person in business as a bookseller or stationer, who might serve as a " drawing-post," and who had nothing to do with the bills he accepted, but to take them up as long as his principals found him the cash. For the suc cessful prosecution of this traffic he opened an account at a banker's, and, in order to raise the wind, would present for dis count his draft upon some friend of similar character and standing It such apo pears extraordinary, n ow th at t h e f acts are known, how the re peple came to b e i n t h e extensive credit they were, but gularity with which their paper was met would of course tend t estabish their reputation ; and when it is recollected that the connection was scattered over several places in the North, and that exertion was used to force their paper upon the banker s in their neighbourhood, it will be seen that the game I be continued for a longer time, though, from the increased hazard, greater skill was reqiiisite on the part, of the players. Notwithstanding all the fineis. of the individuals who directed the concern, accidents of an untoward nature came to pass, and we are concerned to state that in some instances the names of parties in the circle have been affixed to bills without their knowledge, the same being protected at maturity. Other cases have been mentioned where persons have inadvertently signed stamps in blank for bona fide transactions, and who now find that larger amounts than those of their actual debts have been filled in for which they are made responsible. After, however, making every allowance for the ability with which the system of bill-drawing has been conducted, we cannot but think the bankers and bill brokers who afforded facilities for such wild proceedings have been very deficient in vigilance and prudential caution. DINNER TO JOSEPH BROTHER TON, ESQ., M.P. The electors of the borough of Salford, resident in Broughton, having determined to avail thomselve of the return borne of Mr. Brotherton, for the Easter recess, to invite him to dine with them, and he having cordially accopted the invitation, a public dinner was given to the respected representative of Salford, on Wednesday last, in the large room of the Griffin Inn, Lower Broughton. The room was very tastefully oroamented for the occasion, with the choicest exotics, including some rare and splendid specimens of cacti, &c.. from the conservatories of Mr. Bow. About 120 gentlemen sat down to a very excellent dinner. David Ainsworth, Esq., boroughreeve of Manchester, occupied the chair. At his right sat Mr. Brotherton, Messrs. William Bow, John Shawcross, Samuel Pullein, Andrew Hall, Wm. Lockett, Michael Satterthwaite, William Labrey, Edward Shawcross, Alderman Burd, and other gentlemen. At his left, Rubert Hyde Greg, Esq., M.P. ; Sir Thomas Potter ; C. J. S. Walker, Esq. ; Mr. Wm. Harvey, Mr. Robt. Macintyre, Mr. E. B. Holland, and other gentlemen. The Vice-Presidents were Mr. J. J. Southam, and Mr. John M'Clure, one of the constables of Manches ter. Amongst other gentlemen present were Messrs. G. E. Macintyre, Wm. Ashworth, Robert Blacklock, Robert Tinsley, Henry Warren, James Barge, James Dawson, Wm. Jenkinson, John Harrison, John Pres ton, John Lancaster, William Andrew, &c., &c. After the usual toasts, The CHAIRMAN then, in giving " Her Majesty's Ministers," said, though they might not have done as much as could Ise wished, they had, he believed, done as much as they possibly could under the circumstances, and they had had a great deal to contend with.—( The toast was received with loud and long-continued plau dits.)--The Chairman then, in giving the toast of the evening, said, he felt incapable of doing the justice it deserved to the toast of the health of Joseph Brotherton, Esq.—(The company rose and cheered loud and long)—the independent Member for Salford. Not a more independent Member was there in the House of Commons. He (the Chairman) knew many gentlemen in Manchester who, though opposed to Mr. Brotherton in politics, said that, if they wished to ob tain assistance in any business, they had only to apply to Mr. Brotherton, who was always ready to do them a service, no matter whether they were Whigs, Tories, or Radicals.—(Applause.)—Without saying more on a toast which would speak for itself to ail their hearts, he would give them " Joseph Brotherton, Esq., the worthy representative of Salford." The toast was re ceived with all the honours of cheering, the company again rising, and the plaudits continuing for some time, and ceasing only to be resumed as Mr. Brotherton rose. When they had subsided, — Mr. BROTHERTON said—Mr. President, Messrs. Vice-Presidents and Gentlemen,—l feel quite at a loss how to thank you for the honour you have done me on this occasion. No words that I can use can ade quately express my feelings of gratitude for the cordial welcome which you have given me on this oc casion. It certainly is very gratifying to me to find, that, on every succeeding occasion of meet ing my constituents, I am greeted with the most hearty welcome. This is the ninth year in which I have had the honour of being your repre sentative in Parliament.—(Hear.) I undertook the duties with very great diffidence, and I have always felt the greatest anxiety faithfully to discharge the duties of the important trust which you confided to me, during the time that I have had the great honour of being the representative of this borough ; and I can assure you that I seek no other reward than the consciousness of being, in some degree, useful to my country, and to have merited your approbation.—(Applause.) It has always been my desire to act according to those principles that should be for the benefit of the many, rather than of the few.—(Applause.) I have always endeavoured to promote those measures that would be for the happiness of the greatest number. I conceive that the object and the duty of a statesman is to endeavour to promote those measures that are calcu lated to enlighten the minds, to improve the con dition, to promote the prosperity, and to exalt the po litical character of the whole people:—(Applause.) 1 am well aware that the Tories would say that they wish the happiness of mankind ; that they desire to promote the general interests of the country ; that these are their aims as well as ours. What, then, is the differ ence between us ? The difference is in the means which we adopt. The objects of the Tories are always to look to the interests of the few, rather than to the interests of the many.—(Hear.) They consider the institutions of the country as the institutions of the aristocracy ; they consider our public schools and semi naries as belonging to that aristocracy exclusively, and that they were designed for the teaching of the rich, in stead of the instruction of the poor. Upon this exclusive principle, they consider these institutions as confined only to a part of the community ; but my principle is, that those institutions which are supported by all should be for the benefit of all, and that we should esti mate the institutions of the country not according to their antiquity, but according to their usefulness. An other distinction between the Tories and the Reformers is in their commercial policy. We have seen conti nually, that all our commercial legislation seems to have been conducted for the benefit of a certain portion of the community, regarding classes and monopolies too favourably. The commercial policy of this country has lai•herto been for the benefit of the few, and to the injury of the many : and, instead of looking at the ge neral interests of society. they have considered the West India interest, the shipping interest, the agricultural interest, the interests of the church, and other separate interests that are and have been promoted at the expense of the general benefit of society. (Hear.) Now the Reformers take a different stand ; they advocate prin ciples that are for the benefit of the whole community ; they wish for free trade, and that all should be par takers of the benefits resulting from it. ( Hear.) Again, not only do the Tories claim the institutions of the country, and the right of legislating for the interests of the few rather than for those of the many ; but, in political points of view, they are as opposite to Reformers as darkness is to light. They consider that the best means of promoting the interests of the people is to look exclusively to the interests and the power of the aristocracy ; that the people have no thing to do with the laws but to obey them ; and that none are fit to legislate bait those who are born legis lators—(Laughter)—or those who have money enough to purchase the votes of their constituents.—(Hear, and cheers.) But the Reformers, on the contrary, wish and desire that the House of Commons may reflect the mind, and speak the voice, of the people of England. —(Hear.) These are the important principles that we advocate. True, the-e is not so much done as we should desire ; and I find there are many persons who can tell us what we did not do, and who can show us what we ought to do ; but unfortunately they did not lend us that assistance which they ()tight and might have done, to enable us to accomplish these things.-- (Hear, hear.) lam well aware that the Reform Bill has not accomplished all that has been expected from it, and that many are dissatisfied ; but it should be re collected that the Reform Bill is merely a machine, and that it is the duty of the people to work it.— (Hear.) And if the people are only united in en deavouring to effect all the good that may be accom plished, I am fully persuaded that a great deal more ltoa r ok i g n i n i s p gs r o itt v h e e r y n e theyts look slong o rni#it be done. But it is in vain to talk of reform merely a st to e a o s p u l e m sienl hand, t a h o e d i , r t votes, hou h ai in may sacrifice the great interests of though country. If you consider those as d trhivee from principles, ' will see that they can easly afford e to b and also the benefits which they rom h them, you their constituents, and then to put the value into Flnvtootetsheoirf own pockets an hundred fold. Much has been said, that Ministers have not do ne a ll t h at might be required ' of them, and that the Reform Bill has disappointed the ttribeuvi eecoi a to t the this p people expectations of many ; but I would as k whether all the blame is to be attributed either to Mini s t ers or to Par liament ? I must tell you very candidly that I t hi nk a very great portion (If the blam e arh i e s ar to .) be Looka —(He t-bed of reform ; is s en d s 13 p county, themselves. —( Hea r, v v e e r s y . ho Tories to Parliament to oppose 13 Reformers ; so that the opinion of the whole county of Lancaster is, as it were, neutralised. How, then, can the House of Peers imagine that the people are in favour of reform, when we find that parties are so equally balanced even here ! These principles are of the very highest importance ; and I do thine that the time is come when the people of this county particularly should be impressed with the importance of having a change of system, other wise they cannot expect to enjoy that prosperity which is so desirable, The liberal spirit which the present Government displays towards Ireland is certainly cal culated to promote the benefit of that country ; and here, too, we may see a striking distinction between the conduct of the Tories and that of the Reformers —(Hmr, and applause.) Ireland is to be governed in the spirit of conciliation.—(Hear, hear.) We are asked to do justice to Ireland ; but I regard the Bill of Lord Stanley as for the destruction of the franchise, and that of Lord Morpeth as providing for the preservation and extension of the franchise.— (Applause.) h A e P r t P o l al' governedse • painrdit in hn which ee the Tories have derogatoryhi to Eng land, while it was deeply injurious to Ireland ; and we may rest assured, that no advantage can be derived to either country when such a policy is pursued as is cal culated to foster all those feelings which it is so de sirable to allay.—(Applause). We have now consi dered the general principl es b y which . we are governed, and have taken a view of the measures necessary for the general benefit, and I would now draw your at tention to measures of the utmost importance in pro moting the prosperity of this country. I allude, first, to the great and important measure of the repeal of the Corn-laws.—(Loud and long cheering.) I have always considered the Corn-laws as most impolitic, unjust, inhuman, and wicked.—(Applause.) They have been and will be injurious to our trade as long as they exist. It is offering a premium to the foreign manu facturer; it is cruelty towards the poor man, and it is equally unjust towards him ; for the landlord claims a vested right in his land, while he forgets that the poor man has a vested right in his labour.—(Hear.) It is an important fact that the price of corn in this country, on an average of 20 years, has been 50 per cent, higher than on the Continent.---(" Shame.") There must be a cause for this. We find again, by calculation, that every shilling of duty that is laid on the importation of corn, is a tax upon the people to the amount of 2,500,000/. ; therefore, if the tax be 103. per quarter on corn, it is equal to a tax upon the people of 25 mil lions a year.—(Hear, hear.) It has been shown by evidence, before the Committee of the House of Com mons, that the people of this country are taxed to the amount of fifty millions a year to support monopolies, for the benefit of particular classes, instead of the whole community.—(Hear.) If there was a duty of 10s. per quarter upon corn, and we import two mil lions of quarters, it would produce a million of reve nue, but it would, at the same time, cause a tax of 20 millions on the people ; because the produce of corn in this country is estimated at 50 millions of quarters yearly ; so that, although the revenue is but in compa rison lightly benefited, the difference in price between this and other countries is a very heavy tax upon the whole people. You see, thin, the great importance of having a repeal of the Corn-laws.—(Hear.) A paper has been put under ms plate, stating that the taxes of this country, since the commencement of the Corn-law in 1818, have amounted to 1,000 millions sterling. Thus the people of this country have been burdened to an extent which would have paid the whole national debt, since the peace.--( Hear.) We can scarcely be lieve that such laws could be enacted ; but, when we find persons enacting laws for their own benefit, and as long as the people permit them to do so, I don't see how there is any chance of preventing bribery. If they can raise in this way so many thousands a year, do you not think they can afford to bribe electors? Ti e working of the Corn-laws may be illustrated by what takes place in Guernsey. A gentleman told me, that they import (ae they are allowed to do) all their food from France and other foreign countries, and export all their land produce to England. But is it a benefit to the farmer ? No ; because the rents of lane here are double what they are in those countries. There fore we see the tax is laid on to raise rents, and the Corn-1 tws are no benefit either to the farmer or the agricultural labourer ; and when they can see that it is not for their interest to support the mono poly, we may hope to see it removed. Passing from the Corn law, let us consider other measures which I feel confident the Government will bring forward. The President of the Board of Trade has lately brought for ward a measure for lowering the import duties in the colonies ; which, on several articles, have been as high as 30/. per cent. down to 71. per cent. This I consider to be the prelude of an improvement of the tariff as re gards the import duties of this country ; and we shall find that, if we pay 25 millions a year more for our corn than we ought to pay, we also pay five millions a year more for our sugar than we ought to pay.—(Ap plause.) This subject is not understood by the public generally. The amount of the duty on colonial sugar is 4,600,000/., at a duty of 245. per cwt., and colonial sugar is selling at 245. a cwt. more than foreign sugar is selling at, which is subject to a duty of 635. per cwt. When we consider these things, we shall see that the people of this country are made to pay 25 per cent. more than they ought to pay—an additional tax of five millions a year. It is the same with the differential duties upon coffee, which at one place are 9s. and at another 16d. a cwt. If we carry those principles out, they all tend to the benefit of the people ; for, by having a free exchange of our products with other countries, we should have an increased demand for our manufactures. Instead of paying 9d. a poend for sugar, we should have it at 4d. per Ib. ; and then what an increased demand there would be for it, and for manufactures too! These are questions that must be intereqing to all who are seeking to promote the general welfare of the country ; these are measures that I wish to promote to the utmost of my power.—( Hear.) I look to something practical : I wish to have measures that may produce real benefit to the people. We wish that our mechanics' institutions and other places of instruction and recreation should be open to the people, and that all should enjoy that free dom and liberty which tend to promote the happiness of the land. I would call upon all reformers to fall back upon that union, which, upon former occasions, has led us to victory. Let us unite and combine as one man, having one common name ; and be assured, if we unite all reformers, we shall certainly succeed. Our cause is the national interest ; it is the cause of the nation ; it is the cause of improvement, and the cause of civil and religious liberty.--(Applause.) In aivocating these noble principles, these excellent measures, I wish to be an instrument in your hands ; and I trust I shall live to see the time when these monopolies shall be re moved and that we shall all rejoice together in having just and equal laws.— (Applause.) The Hon. Gentle man concluded by proposing " The health of the in dependent electors of the borough of Salford." Mr. JOHN APCLURE, as one of the vice-presidents, proposed " The Members for the borough of Mlre cheater." So far as he knew Mr. Philips, he might say of him that justice was his motto, impartiality his prin ciple, and the welfare of the community at ling.. his object. Of Mr. Greg he knew less, but he believed him to be one every way worthy of participating with his collea;ue in the good feelings and approval of their constituency.—(Applause.) The toast was received with loud cheers, the company rising. R. H. GREG, Esq., M.P., in acknowledging the toast, said he was sure his colleague regretted being absent. It was always the greatest pleasure to both of them to attend any public festival in honour of the respected re presentative of Salford, believing that a more valuable Member certainly did not exist in the House of Com mons. Hitherto he (Mr. Greg) had always voted on the same side with Mr. Brotherton ; and, as long as he continued in Parliament, he believed the occasions of difference in this respect would be few or none. It was quite true that the dissolution of Parliament was not so near as it seemed to be two years ago, or even last Ses sion ; but, at the same time, Parliament was drawing to the period of its natural termination, a period which the practice of Parliament never allowed it to reach. It ought to be matter of congratulation to reformers, that the Ministry did not make a permanent retirement two years ago, at a moment when a dark cloud hung over the destinies of this country. We were convulsed in the interior with Chartist agitation —at one time of the most dangerous character ; rke were on the point of a contest with Naples, and of being involved in the Spanish war ; we had barely put down a most dan gerous insurrection in Canada ; and if ministers had permanently retired at that moment, it would have been attended with serious damage to the credit of our party, and would have postponed, to an indefinite period, their ultimate return to office. But now their pros pects were different. The insurrection in Canada had not only been put down, but the wounds arising out of it had been healed, an excellent constitution had been given to Canada, which was now paying its own offi cers, regulating its own expenditure, and carrying into effect the reduction of duties, the sale of the church lands and the clergy reserves ; and, in short, he be lieved the whole province was pacified, contented, and happy, and likely to be a most valuable colony and ac quisition to our empire. The Spanish affair bad been brought to a most successful termination ; and the progress of future improvement was opened, which before was closed. That progress might be slow, but still he believed no impediment to that progress was offered by the present Government. The Chartist agitation had now entirely died away ; it was put down simply by the power of the constitutional law ; no new powers had been invoked by Ministers, as had been done by the Tories on much smaller occasions ; and wherever violence had existed, Juries invariably con victed. This was altogether a state of thing s on which we might congratulate ourselves ; and whenever Mi nisters dissolve Parliament, and go to the country, we may be proud of having such leaders, and may devote ourselves to the contest, whenever it arrives, with earnestness and satisfaction.—(Great applause.) The whole proceedings were characterized by the greatest enthusiasm, and determination to spare no ex ertions on a future occasion again to secure the return of the respected representative of the borough of Sal ford.-21anchester Gurdian. ROBINSON V. TURNER. COUI?T OF COMMON PLEAS, APBrz. 19. COLLIER V. GREYAN. This was an action, brought by a lithographic printer, against one of the Directors of the Coilier Dock Company, for work done on account of the Company, to the amount of 2721. 14s. It appeared upon the trial that the amount of 191. 14s. was due by the Company before the defendant became a Director, and that of the remainder the amount of 191. was charged for work done, after the passing of the Act of Parliament, whereby the individual members of the Company were exonerated from liability beyond the amount of their shares. The Jury found for the plaintiff 511., being the portion of the debt incurred from the commencement of the defendant's direc torship to the passing of the Act. Air. Sergeant ACHERLY now moved for a rule to add to the verdict, first, the sum of 19/. due previous to defendant's di rectorship, on the ground that by accepting office he adopted the debts of the Board; and secondly, for the 1921. incurred after the passing of the Act, on the ground that the Directors alone were individually liable for the plaintiff's claim, because the 18Sith section of the Act exempted the company from such debts. The COURT granted the rule nisi, on the understanding that the discussion shall come on at the same time with that upon the adverse rule—(to enter a verdict for defendant)—obtained on Saturday by 31r. Sergeant Bompas. WALMSLEY V. MATTHEWS. This was an action brought by the owner of the alleged win ning horse at a race which came off last year on the new race course at Market Drayton, Shropshire, aoain , t the stake holder, for the amount of the stakes, 281. The defence was that the plaintiff's jockey, contrary to the articles, and the established rules of races, unfairly distanced his opponents by crossing ; and, further, that the jockey was disqualified by the articles from riding on that occasion. The case was tried at Shrewsbury on the last assizes, before Mr. Justice Coleridge, and the Jury found for the plaintiff in the full amount. Mr. Serjeant LUDLOW now moved for a rule for a new trial, on the ground that the verdict was against evidence. Three horses started in the race in question. One was Deception, the property of the plaintiff, ridden by a professional jockey, named Booth; the others, Master Harry, ridden by a gentleman named Byrne ; and Springflower, ridden by a farmer of the neigh bourhood. It was proved, at the trial, that Booth, being be hind, and his competitors in advance, and close abreast, he rode Deception between them, so as to press upon both, and nearly to overthrow Springflower, who was the inside horse. He consequently came in first, and claimed the race. But the matter was referred to the Committee, according to the arti cles, and the decision was against Deception, on the ground that the unfair cross was proved, and the crossing horse thereby to be considered as distanced. The articles of the course also provided that each of the contending horses should be ridden by " a gentleman, farmer, or tradesman, and not by a jockey or paid rider." But it was proved that Booth was a jockey, in the habit of riding horses at races for hire. Notwithstand ing such evidence, the Jury found for the plaintiff. The Court, without hesitating, granted the rule. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, APRIL 19, SMITH V. ROYSTON. This was an action of trespass which was tried before Lord Abinger at the late assizes held at Derby, when a verdict was found for the defendant. Mr. BALGUT now moved for a rule nisi, to set aside that verdict, and for a new trial, on the ground of misdirection on the part of the Learned Judge. There was what is called a buck leap round the defendant's grounds, upon which the plaintiff had built to the extent of four feet. The defendant claimed the whole of it, and it was proved that he had, on various occasions, taken away the fence of the Buck Leap, and had ploughed it to within four or five feet of the . outer fence. The Learned Counsel com plained that his Lordship had not left it to the Jury to say whether any portion of the ground in question was the property of the plaintiff, as ownership had been proved on both sides-- Rule nisi granted. MORGAN V. SYKES. This was an action, tried before the Lord Chief Baron at the sittings in London after last term, when a verdict was found for the plaintiff. Mr. ERLE now moved for a rule nisi for entering a non suit. The action was brought to recover the value of a pipe of wine from the defendant, who was a public carrier. The plaintiff was a wine-merchant in London, who received an order in these terms Gentlemen, we shall be obliged by your forwarding by first w aggon , t wo p i pes of your finest double diamond, according to the understanding come to with your Mr. Morgan, when we had the pleasure of seeing him in Bury." The two pipes were accordingly given to the defendant, who was the usual carrier between the parties. One of them was let fall and burst, the other was safely de livered. He (Mr. E.) now contended that the acceptance of the one pipe, part of the order, vested the property in Mr. Lockwood, the person who ordered the wine. The COURT were of opinion that the property in the wine was vested in Morgan at the time of the loss. He would have no right of action for the recovery of more than one pipe of wine against Lockwood.—Rule refused. PARKER AND ANOTHER V. PARKER. Mr. WityrEntiasT moved to reduce the verdict in this case from 1431. 15 .to 98/. The trial was had a. De, by before Lord Abirlger ; it was upon a guarantee. The de tendunt had become security to the plaiut.ffs for ale sup plied to a third parry, who bad become a defaulter. The amount c, the ale charged was 98/., the remaining 351 15s. being the value of the casks which had not been returned. iie contended that, un d er t h e guaran tee given by th e de fendant, h e was not li able for anything but the ale supplied, and not for the casks.—Rule granted. BISHOP V, FRY AND OTHERS. This was an action for assault and false imprisonment, which was tried before Mr. Justice Wighttnan, of the late Somerset Assizes, when a verdict was found for the defendants.

BEVERICK V. ENGLISH AND OTHERS. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, who was captain and cashier of a mine in Cornwall, called the Austin's Flit Mine, against the five defendants, four of them being alleged to be members of the committee of management, and the fifth a shareholder of the company. The action was brought upon two bills of exchange, drawn upon the committee of manage ment, and accepted by two of the defendants as such. The case was tried before Lord Penman on the 10th February last, and a verdict was had for the plantiff, damages 4971. Mr. THESIGER. now moved for a bill to show cause why the verdict should not be set aside,. and a new trial had on the ground of the verdict being against the evidence. It appeared that the company had been established by English and one or two others, and that the defendant Wasket, for whom alone he (Mr. Thesiger) appeared, had taken 20 shares which he had entered in the name of his wife. The principal witness at the trial was Capt. Mitchell, who was agent of the mine, and who stated that it was usual in Mining Companies to draw bills upon the committee of management for the expenses of the undertaking. Now, in the present case the bills had been drawn upon the committee of management and accepted by two of the defendants, but there was no pretence fur saying that. Wasket was a member of that committee or took any part in the management of the son-ern further than attending one or two meetings of the shareholders. The Learned Counsel referred to the cases of Dickenson v. Bartley, Treilum v. Bourne, and Bult v. Morred, in support of his argument. In the latter case bills of exchange had been drawn upon six defendants and accepted by five of them, as directors of a com pany, the sixth being merely a shareholder. The Court held that the sixth defendant was not liable, and that case appeared to come within the express terms of the one then before their Lordships. The Court granted the rule. SIR C. bIoRGAN U. POWELL. The ATTORNEY- GaNErtat, moved in this case for a rule to show cause why the damage s found for the plaintiff should not be reduced. It was an action of tresnass, tried ge, at th e l as t M onmout h A s _ s be f :z'orr,e 1I r. forb Justice reakirg Ciedandoerintering the plaintiff's coal mine, digging coals, and carrying them away. The defendant pleaded several pleas of justification, which were after wards withdrawn, and a verdict was found fur the plaintiff, with 1.420/. damages. The defendant was the lessee of an adjoining mine, and had, without being aware of it, trespassed upon the plaintiff's mine. The quantity of coals taken away by the defendant was estimated, and the whole question vias whether they should be paid for at the rate of ss. Bd. per ton, which was their value at t' , e pit's mouth, or at the rate of is. 10d., which was their value before they were so raised. The Learned C.;unsel pr ceedrd to contend that the later was the sum at which they should be estimated, and that the defendant should be allowed to deduct the value of the labour he had expended upon them. The Court took time to consider its decision. DRAPER U. lIERMAII AND OTHERS. Mr. Sergeant BOMPAS moved in this case for a rule to show cause uhy the verdict for the plai - liffs should no: be set aside, and a new tii Al had. Ir was an action brouL:hf by Messrs. Draper and Co., lace manufacturers, against the di fendants, who were carriers, to recover a sum of 4201,, being the value of a quantity of goods sent by them from Bristol to Nottingham, which had been confided t.,) the defendants with the words "per waggon" on the ctrside. Tie goods were conveyed by the de fendants in their waggon to Birmingham, and were thence transferred to the railway, to be forwarded to Nottingham. In consequence of an accident to the train, the goods caught fire and were destroyed. The Learned Counsel contended that there was no proof given of a contract, which would bar the defendants from sending the goods by any other mode of conveyance than their own; and the railway being the ordinary means of conveyance between Birmingham and Nottingham, the defendants were justi fied in transferring them in the way they had done. After citing some authorities, the COURT took time to consider the question. Sir F. Pouocx moved in this case for a rule to show cause why the verdict for the defendant should not be set aside, and a verdict entered for the plaintiff by leave of the Learned Judge. It was an action upon an agreement tried before Lord Denman at the last Kingston Assiz-s; and the terms of the agreement were, that if the plaintiff did not permit any one during the term of fourteen years to keep any post•horses or chaises for the purpose of letting for hire on the premises, then the defendant would pay the plaintiff a sum of 25/. per annum during that period. The action was brought for the payment of three years before the commercement of the action. At the trial it was proved that saddle horses had been kept upon the premises and the question was whether they came within the definition of " post-horses kept for hire." Lord DEsitAN thought the case required further consi deration.—Judgrnent deferred. THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY, A PRIL 20, 1841. sworn. Mr. M‘Donogh—But the qw.stion is, by what form should be be sworn. Do you believe the Scriptures to be divine and authentic ? Complainant—l believe i❑ some of them—not in the entire of them, but in enough to be sworn by. The complanant was then sworn, and stated that he had been expelled from the society in question merely and solely because he was a Socinian, and, according to the tenets of that sect, did not believe in the divinity of Jesus Christ. Mr. Hitchcock—Your summons is not for having been expelled, but tLat your weekly subscription would not be received. Where is the rule under which you call up , n us to interfere. Elliott—There is no difference between expelling me and refusing my subscription. Mr. M‘Donogh—What has occurred to your wor ship s mind is quite right, and in that point of view it would be competent for me to call on you to dismiss the case. But that is not what is sought for by the members of the respectable society for whom I ap pear. They desire that the grounds upon which they rest their refusal to any longer associate with this man shall go before the public ; and I think, before I shall have asked many questions, the strict and laudable propriety of the conduct which they have pursued in this instance will be generally acknowledged in the coun try. The " Liberal Friendly Brothers" is a Society composed exclusively of Protestants, and latterly this Mr. Elliott has, on all occasions and in all places, announced himself a Socialist —employing whatever arguments he could command in circulating the perni cious principles which he had adopted. Even if the consideration were to be confined to a view of the rule requiring the members to be Protestants, no doubt could exist as to the right of expulsion when any mem ber ceased to entertain Protestant doctrines. But, un fortunately, the consideration was of a much more en larged character—for the principles which he had pro mulgated were adhorrent to the feelings of every Christian, as they were subversive of all moral and social obligations. Mr. Dl•Donogh (to the complainant) —How long have you been a member of the society ? About 12 years. Were you a Protestant when you joined it ? Yes I was. Are you not now what is called a Socialist 2—Not altogether. I have read a great number of their tracts, and approve of some of them. By virtue of the oath you have taken (if you place any value upon it), are you not a Socialist in principle, and have you not been endeavouring to spread the opinions of that wretched sect ?-1 partly believe in Socialism. Pray, favour us with those parts in which you con cur ?—lt is my opinion that every one should assist in the amelioration of the condition of mankind, and that for that purpose there should be self,upporting institution=, which would abolish pov. rty, vice, and lawyers.—(l laugh.) Then, I suppose, you would have a community of in terest and property ?—Yes, certainly. Then your view is that, the entire property of the country should form a common stock, to which all the members should have an equal right ?—Yes ; each per son to labour and work fir the community, so that there would be no poverty. I think you said you would not have any lawyers ? No more I would not. Wel, now, perhaps your objection would extend to kings and queens. Wou/d there be any occasion for such characters?--I don't think there would be any use for them. Nor for Lords either, I suppose P—Certiinly not. You would abolish them ?—No, I would not ; I would bring the peasant up to the Peer, and not the Peer down to the re isant. Why, do you mean that you would have us all Lords ?—No, I do not ; but merely that. all should la bour and contribute to the common support. Would you have AI igistrates, Judges, or laws ?—No ; there would be no occasion tor them. Then if a felon committed a murder, how would you deal with him ?—I would confine him. Why, surely, you could not do that, as there would not be either laws or judges ? The millennium would commence, and mankind would be under the govern ment of their understanding and" intilligence." His" in tilligince" would be the regulating principle of his mind and actions. Alderman TTNuAL--This is really a disgraceful and horrifying exhibition. Enough has transpired to war rant the Magistrates in refusing to interfere. Elliott—You may call it disgraceful, but I glory in the principles, All I want is the law to be adminis tered. Mr. HITCHCOCK concurred with his brother Magis trate in saying the exhibition was most disgusting and disgraceful. The conduct and opinions of the com plainant rendered it imperative in the Magistrates to dis miss the case. He hoped the press would give every publicity to the proceedings. Mr. M`Donogh—Publicity will effect much good, and exhibit in their proper point of view the doctrines which the unfortunate man had given expression to. It was obvious persecution never had any influence in checking opinions, no matter how bad or mons rolls they might be, but quite the reverse. It often secured sympathy where disgust and contempt would other wise have been created. The followers of such miser- able opinions frequently courted persecution as the means of gaining an infamous notoriety. Mr. Barrett (the President of the Society) said that Elliott had declared before the society that if he had the riches of Rothschild, or the eloquence of Pitt, he would exert both to their utmost extent in circulating his opinions. The complaint was then dismissed, TRULLOPE 9 S " SUMMER IN WESTERN FRANCE."—It Is scarcely possinle to have Chosen a subject affording such ample scope fur a pleasant book of travels as has been made choice of by the lively author of the forthcoming " Summer in: Western France"—eer tainly one of the most agreeable of modern tourists.

I Railway Company, and a jobber in railway shares, ap plied to be discharged on surcti s until his hearing. It appeared t ,at the insolvent had been twice discharged under the Act, the last time in 1639, and tiere was now a mass of accommodation bills in his schedule. Mr. Commissioner BOWEN said it was a shame a man who was discharged about two years ago should come up with a schedule of accommo d at i on bill s. Accommodation bills were the means of cheating bona fide holders. The insolvent remarked that one was paid. He ex pected the others would have been settled. Mr. Commissioner BowENr declared that it was a very great pity that the clause in the last Act was omitted in the present. He alluded to the provision under which an insolvent will applied twice within five years was bound to show that all his debts were necessarily contracted. That clause was out of the present Act, and it was a very great pity. This insolvent owed about 5001., contracted in a short period, without, as it appeared, one shilling to pay them, and it was a very great shame. The COURT accepted the bail. DUBLIN POLICE.

This case excited great interest amongst all classes, it being understood thut the refusal was founded on the fact that the complainant had latterly been in the habit of promulgating " Soc;alist principles."

A young man named Payne, a private in the Royal Sappers and Aliners, committed suicide this afternoon at the residence of his intended wife in King-street, Woolwich. No reason can be given for the commission of this rash act, unless the fol lowing particulars of his recent conduct may account for the state his mind must have been in when he contemplated de priving himself of life :—lt appears he was under orders for the Cape of Good Hope, and had published the bans of his in tended marriage, and absented himself front the barracks with out asking leave from his superiors. After dinner he sent out for a quartern of gin, and then sent his intended wife to the barracks to ask what would be his punishment for tieing absent ? On her return, in about half an hour, it appeared he had drunk the gin, and afterwards hanged himself to the bedpost, with his handkor hief, in the most determined manner, as he had to hold up his eet to effect his purpose, and Ns hen disc covered his knees nearly touched the ground. The woman cried out for assistance, not having presence of mind herself, and another woman, residing in the next house, went in and cut him down. Medical assistance was promptly procured, but life was found to be quite extinct. • NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

THE PERSONAL HISTORY OF GEORGE THE FouRTiL Br Da. CsoLy.—We at first conceived that the great talents of Dr. Croly must to a certain e xtent be misemployed in the composition of a work on such a sub ject as the present, but a perusal of the fist few chapters convinced us of our error. The design of the author is, in his own words, to give " the history of party, without prejudice, and of am monarch without partiality," and he traces the faults of the Kirg's character to their true source, But these volumes have a higher degree of if). terest :han could possibly arise f rom merely tracin g the t p o e r r y so o n f al hi c : r a e g e e r , of George the F o urth. They are a his u s to all the great statesmen antr ou nding in rapid and mast er l y and sits of that introduc ing c sketches of character, b . i iliant reflections, and Wea sant episodes ; a nd embodying all that information current in the best informed circles of the day, which is necessary to be known, if we would thoroughly understand the transac. tions of the period. —Britannia MALTA, MARCH 31.—We have much plea sure in being able to announce, that the officers and crews of both the 'Zebra and Castor continue healthy, and there have been no new a ttacks of plague or deaths since the Castor's arrival here on the 9th instant. —Mediterraneo.
