It is of the utmost importance to the health and well-being of every inhabitant of the metropolis that the system of sewerage and draining, to be for the future adopted, should be as perfect as possible; and no system of sewerage can be considered as perfect which does not preserve the Thames from pollution. We, therefore, trust that in the proposed system of sewerage for Richmond care will be taken that the Thames shall not be made the receptacle of the filth and refuse of that town and its neighbourhood. The Board of Health have warned the public, over and over again, of the danger arising from open drains, and, under the present system, the Thames is made the vast open drain for the whole of the metro lis ; and it is worthy of remark, that the recent in crease of cholera, in the metropolitan parishes bor dering on the Thames, has been contemporaneous with the flushing of' the sewers in the more inland and elevated districts. We would, therefore, earnestly impress upon the autho rities the necessity of devising some plan which shall save for the future the Thames from pollution, and restoring to us our fine r iver in its pristine purity, make it that whic h GOD intended it should be, the source of healt h to those i nhabiting its banks, and not what man has made it, the prolific parent of deadly disease. But while we would have the Thames preserved pure, in order that the air which we breathe may be preserved pure also, we would equally protest against the adoption of any other method for the dispesal of the sewage which should have the effect of rendering the air impure. come persons have proposed that the sewage in its fermenting and corrupting and stinking state should be taken at once from the sewers, without being subjected to any disinfect ing process, and spread over the fields as manure. With the example of Edinburgh before us, we cannot but fear that this plan, however bene ficial to the fields and gardens, would, so far as the persons inhabiting the neighbourhood of those fields and gardens are concerned, be neither more nor less than sowing the seeds of disease broad cast. If the evaporation from the surface of a cess pool five feet in diameter is sufficient to infect with cholera or fever all the inhabitants of the block of houses in the neighbourhood of which such cesspool is situated, what must be the effect produced by an evaporation of cesspool fluid from a surface of several hundred acres in extent ? But we need not theorise on the subject, the experiment of " fetid irrigation" has been largely tried in the neighbourhood of Edin burgh, and with the best effects, so far as an increase in the agricultural production of the lands to which it applied is concerned, but with anything but be neficial effects as regards the public health of the neighbourhood. Dr. Amsorr, Mr. LISTON, and other celebrated medical men, have published their opinions as to the deleterious effects produced by the exhala tions from lands thus irrigated on the public health. " The atmosphere," says Dr. ALISON, "over and around the irrigated lands in the neighbourhood, when loaded with noxious emanations, is known to produce, even by very temporary action, immediate deviations from health ;" and the late Mr. LISTON declared that he had been long convinced that the irrigation of the low grounds and meadows around Edinburgh was a fruitful source of fevers and various kinds of typhus. The Piers-hill Barracks are situated in the immediate neighbourhood of these irrigated lands, and at the time of the first appearance of cholera in this country, Dr. BARLOW, then surgeon of the 31 Dragoon Guards, stationed at Piers-hill Barracks, math the following official report on the sub ject to Sir JAMES .111'6, a EGOR ; the report is dated 6th December, 1831. In this report Dr. BARLOW says, "At this period when so much alarm exits on the subject of cholera, and when hi: MAJESTY'S Government are enforcing so strongly all the means calculated to prevent its appearance, or to diminish its malignity, I feel it my duty as surgeon of the regiment now occupying Piers Hill Barracks, to call your attention to a public nuisance of a mos , extensive kind, which exists in the immediate vieinit) of the barracks. It is an accumulation of every species of filth from the common sewers of Edinburgh, and sprei:d out :rtiticially so as to cover a surface of several hundred acres." " The situation of the bar racks,' continues Dr. BARLOW, " is healthy," and then, as proof of the deleterious effects of the exhala tions from the fermenting sewage, he re lates the following fact :—" A messman o: the 7th Dragoon Guards alleges that he has fount from observation and experience that the butcher': meat which he provides for the mess becomes very soon tainted at Piers bill, much sooner than in any other place with the same temperature. So convinced is he that his inference is well founded, that he has hired a room in Edinburgh where he preserves his meat until it be ready for dressing." We think that the result of the experiment in Edinburgh proves that it would be by no means proper to spread sewage refuse over a large surface in the neighbourhood of populous districts without such sewage having been previously disinfected. The public attention having, by the ravages of the prevailing epi demic, been effectually roused to the im portance of the subject of drainage, it is the duty of the authorities to take advantage of that circumstance to secure for the inhabitants of the metropolis as perfect a system of drainage as human ingenuity can devise; the first object to be re garded in such a system is the preservation of the public health, and therefore no system which pollutes either the water we drink or the air we breathe can be considered as perfect. Among the many imposts levied upon the British nation, there is perhaps none more unequal in opera tion, or more unprofitable to the Exchequer, consi dering the amount of property upon which it is chargeable, than the land tax. If fairly and equit ably assessed, according to the intention of the Le gislature by which it was first granted, it would now produce nearly 20,000,000/. sterling, sufficient to defray the expenses of our naval, military, and ordnance departments, and of the entire civil govern ment of the country. Owing to the gross mis imnagementthat h as t a k en place, and the unwise andimpolitic provision which enabled parties y chargeable therewith t o re d eem the liability for i a were trifle, the amount pa id i nto the Exchequer less than 1,200,000/. sterling, o r a b out six per cent s of what ought to be the real produce of the tax. Nothing could be sounder in principle than the land. tax on its original creation. It was in fact to all intents and purposes a property-tax in its most unobjectionable form, and there can be no doubt that it was intended to be levied on personal as well as real property. I t was desired that every man should contribute to the national Exchequer in proportion to his means. But there was at that period but little personal property, and that could be easily concealed (villa& away wan) - Tll and accordingly, for convenience sake, and to remove the temptation to fraud, the assessment (like the poor rate) was by general consent made upon the more tangible species of property that could not be removed from the collector's sight. The first statute expressly relating to the assess ment and collection of the land-tax, is the 4th William and Mary, c. 1. That Act, like all others imposing any burdens upon the people at that early period, was passed but for a limited time. Its provisions were, however, embodied in other measures passed every year, until the year 1798. When the invention of the Minister was exerted to the highest degree to discover approved forms of taxation, so obvious an impost could not be overlooked. The Act, 38 Geo. 111. c. 5, was accordingly passed (soon afterwards rendered per petual by another Act), under which the impost has ever since been collected. The Act directed that a sum of 1,989,6731. should be raised in England and %Vales, and 47,9541. in Scotland for land-tax, accord ing to the several proportions at which each county, city, borough, town, or stewartry was then as sessed. The propositions wEre fully set forth in the Act itself, and commissione.rs were appointed to determine what part of the sum assessed upon each county should be paid by the parishes or hundreds, but in settling such quota the commissioners were to be governed by the assessments made in pursuance of the 4th Wm. and Mary, c. 1., upon which the as s essments made upon various counties and districts specified in the Act were founded ; and the tax was to be raised by an equal pound rate not exceeding four shillings in the pound. Another clause in that important statute directed that personal estate should also contribute at the rate of 4s. in the pound upon the annual value, or 20'. for every 1001. of capital towards the sums to be raised under the Act. This most just and equitable enactment was repealed by a subsequent statute. It, however, affords the strangest confirmation of the . _ truth of our assertion, that the land-tax was in effect nothing more nor less than a property-tax of 4s. in the pound, or 20 per cent. on all accumulated and rea lised property of every description—a tax which would, if fairly levied, produce sufficient to defray the entire national expenditure, and to permit the abolition of the Customs, Excise, Stamps, assessed taxes, and the various other modes of taxation which the ingenuity of various Chancellors of the Exchequer has from time to time invented. Mr. Dis a DISRAELI Aylesbury yle y t recently sbor do the grosstedtheit attention negoaly of themeeting of the operation of this impost. lie in veighed against farmers of Bucking hamshire the impropriety n o less of f than charging d the .i n the pound, while the merc h a nts of Liverpool were r e q uired to contribute less than one farthing in the pound. He clearly and distinctly exhibited the injustice of overlooking the I extraordinary alterations of value that have taken place since 1692, the period at which the assessments were originally fixed, when the annual value of the property chargeable with the land tax was only 9,948,3651., although it is now nearly ten times that amount, that is to say, for England and Wales 88,724,2531., and for Scotland 9,481,7421., in all 98,205,995/. The Honourable Gentleman, however, limited his view to the part unfairly pressing on the agricultural interest. He spoke of the heavy burdens imposed on Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire, and Bedfordshire, in comparison with Liverpool, Man chester, and Brighton, which, in fact, have sprung up and attained extraordinary prosperity within the last century and a half. He might, however, have cited instances no less inequitable in almost adjoining parishes. He might have shown that in the metro polis itself the amount of land-tax levied on the wealthy and aristocratic parish of St. Marylebone does not amount to more than one-half of a farthing in the pound, while St. Paul's, Covent-garden, pays no less than ls. 10 cl., and Cripplegate Without more than ls. Bd. in the pound. He might have stated that St. Martin's, Carey-street, in the city of York, pays 9id. in the pound, while its more fortunate neighbour, St. Martin's cum-Gregory, in the same city, does not pay quite Ad. ; although the inhabitants of Shengay, in Cambridgeshire, con tribute no less than 2s. 9d. in the pound, and of Winchihea, in Sussex, still higher, in consideration of their quondam wealth and splendour. These gross anomalies should undoubtedly be cor rected. There is no possible ground on which they can be sustained or justified. The partial redemption that has already taken place has been used as an argument against any change ; but even if there were any validity in this argument—a point on which we shall not at present pronounce any opinion, but which we may perhaps consider on a future occasion— it could not apply to more than two-thirds of the real property in the country, the owners of vi hich neglected to avail themselves of the opportunities placed within their reach. A new valuation of the remainder, and an equal assessment according to the original rate of 4s. in the pound, would now produce about 14,000,0001. sterling per annum, sufficient to provide for the maintenance of the poor and all the local rates and charges, in addition to the sum now returned to the Exchequer, or even an equal rate of ls. 6d., as mentioned by Mr. DISRAELI, would give 5,000,0001., a very valuable assistance to the Financial Minister, and which could be profitably disposed of in a variety of different methods. We cannot conclude our observations on this subject without directing attention to a pamphlet from the pen of SAMUEL MILLER, Esq , Barrister-at- Law,* in which will be found a great variety of useful information on this important point, and in which the justice and expediency of a speedy change is very clearly demonstrated. Elsewhere in our columns will be found a commu nication addressed to ourselves by a very afflicted G entleman, the father of the unfortunate Lieutenant GRAHAM. Every one, we are satisfied, who has become acquainted with the particulars relating to the Childers and its recent Commander will peruse with the deepest interest, and with the most genuine emotion, the remarks contained in this interesting document. In the course of a postscript, which we abstain from publishing, our correspondent (whose ..ffliction, although the writer is an entire stranger to our.elves, has excited our profoundest sympathy) observes that his son, now incarcerated in Exeter county gaol, is " treated as a felon, and fed as a felon," exclaiming, in a kind of incredulous indignation, Do I live in England, or in Algeria ?" So long as justice remains unsatisfied, in reference to Mr. PITMAN and Lieutenant GRAHAM, we shall not cease to comment upon the cruelty of the whole proceeding towards the latter, and towards Mr. ELLIOTT, his companion in misfortune. It will afford us, moreover, unalloyed gratification to forward the production of a memorial addressed to her Most Gracious MAJESTY, who is ever the willing source of consolation to the unfortunate. Such a memorial from the People to the SOVEREIGN is, we maintain, seriously called for at the present moment, not only to mitigate the excessive punishment imposed upon these two young officers, the victims of atrocious tyranny and lamentable vindictiveness, but is essen tial, also, as the readiest means of bringing down destruction on the existing system of naval and mili tary courts-martial. HER MAJESTY'S DEPARTURE FROM SCOTLAND.— The royal train is ordered to consist of seven carriages, and her Majesty will either occupy the same carriage in which she travelled from Glasgow to Perth, or the sa loon carriage belonging to the London and North- Western, which then accompanied her, and now, we believe, awaits her at Perth. An engine belonging to the Edinburgh and Glasgow line will, as a matter of course, be attached to the train at Greenhill, and an en gine of the North-British at the station here. 'rho dis tance from Perth to Edinburgh by this route is 75 miles, which will likely be accomplished in little more than two hours. No further communication has as yet been re ceived here from Balmoral as to her Majesty's passing through Edinburgh, and no steps have been taken by any public bodies to demonstratt- their loyalty, by their presence on the plaff , rm or otherwise, till her Majesty's wishes be ascertained.—Caledonian Mercury. COLOSSEUM AND CYCLORAMA.—At this season per haps no exhibition in London affords such a varied treat as this magnificent establishment. The Cyclorama of Lisbon, and the Earthquake, is the most extraordinary exhibition of a scenic nature ever attempted—it is unique. The Panorama of Paris by Night, the Grand Saloon of Sculpture, , the Swi-s Cottagr, and real Moun tain Torn nt, &c., form such a set ies of attractions, that the visitor cannot but be delighted Kith all he sees. The music is now of that superior class, as to afford a great additional source of amusement. • " Suggestions for a Equelizition G enera l of the Land Tax and the Abolition of the Income and Real Property Taxes, and the Malt Duty." By Samuel Miller, Eq., Barrister •at. Law. London! B. Sweet, Chaucery•lane, 1848, Pp. 34. ~. - SUN, LONDON, THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. The Committee of twenty-five of the Legislative Assembly held their usual weekly meeting on Thurs day, M. BAROCuE in the chair. The proposition of MM. BAc and LAGRANGE, for the immediate convo cation of the Assembly, was not taken into considera• tion, and after the transaction of some business of a merely formal character the Committee adjourned. It is said that M. DE BEAUMONT is to be dispatched immediately on an extraordinary mission to Vienna, and that M. 13015 LE COMTE will be removed to Madrid from Turin, and will be tucceedEd at the Court of Turin by M. LUCIEN MUBAT. It is said that M. NAPOLEON BONAPARTE will probably be appointed Ambassador to Sweden. Although the trial of the accused of the lath June is fixed for the commencement of October, they have not as yet received any copy of the indictment, nor are they at all aware of the nature of the charges against which they will have to defend themselves. This sharp practice on the part of the public prosecutor resem bles the worst days of the restoration, anti shows a desire for vengeance rather than for justice. These papers fully confirm the intelligence which we published yesterday, of the noble refu,al of the SULTAN to accede to the demands of the Austrian Ambassador for the extradition of KOSSUTH and his companions. The National says that the Austrian Ambassador, by his maladroit pertinacity, drew upon himself one of the smartest rebuffs that ever insolent ambas sador received from an offended Prince, and it adds the following additional information as to the inten tions of Turkey towards the Hungarian refugees : " It is said to be the intention of the Turkish—Govern ment to transport, to the Island of Candle, the thousands of Hungarian soldiers who prefer exile to the tender mercies of the Austrian Government." It appears that Sir STRATFORD CANNING told the SULTAN that his personal honour was concerned in the affair, and that the representations of the English Ambassador were firmly supported by General AUPIC, the French Minister. The English and the French Governments are, therefore, pledged to give the SULTAN every support in their power in the honourable path which he has chosen. The tullowing address has been published by the permanent committee of the Mountain " TO THE PEOPLE. " Brethren and Friends,—lt will be 57 years on the 22d of September since our glorious forutathers pro claimed the Republic; no anniversary shines more bril- Handy in the history of the world. Tue events which bear down the Democrats in Italy, in Germany, and in Hungary grieve our hearts, but without weakening our courage and our hopes. The universal republic will come torch triumphant from so many misfortunes if France, by her calm and digeified attitude, supports and defends the standard of liberty of the people which Providence has placed in her bands. Serious duties are imposed on us ; in presence of the Constitu tion, which proclaims the right of meeting, to assemble together is a crime, to sit down together at a fraternal banquet to celebrate the Republic, is an offence against the Republic. Such is the state of things which has been made for us. Atter having protested against the laws which attack the imprescriptible rights of man, are we to set them at defiance? or by accepting them; retrograde beyond the 22d February? No. Love of the Republic, fs eternity of nations, and hatred of ty rants, are engraven on our souls in imperishable characters ; French demo cracy does not require to give proofs of its devotedness and to make known the generous ideas with which it is animated. The misery of the people is still frightful; our enemies falsely attribute their sufferings to Republican demonstrations. The most legitimate and the must pacific popular manifestation would be made a fresh prstext for accusing the Republicans and absolving the Government of its want of power. The National Assembly is about to resume its lah,urs; let us wait for the remedies which the majotity may have found during its leisure to re-establish credit, to close the gulf of deficit, to put an end to sufferings, and raise up the standard of the Republic before the eyes of nations. Placed in the midst of the impossibili ties inherent to its policy, the majority, we are convinced can do nolhing for the revolution, nothing fur the Re- public; let them not be able to say that our impatience and our agitation have thwarted their plans of financial and social renovation; the weakness of the Government must be shown clearly, without excuses and without pre texts. The high court, which is about to sit, must be free from all pre occupation, ever frivolous and lying, which it would be sought to give birth to by our patrio tic meeting. Our friend+, accused of the imaginary plot of the 13th June, will only defend the outraged Con stitution with more authority. Let us, then, abstain, and leave to our adversaries all the burden of a state of things which bears them down, in order that France may once more judge between them and us. Brethren, let us abstain! Let us be calm and serious like a free people who know how to suffer and wait ! Let us con eentrate in the bosom of our families, in our domestic hearth, the Ikea of this glorious anniversary, and al• though we be not all seated at the same fraternal table, on the same day. and at the same hour, we will exclaim with the same enthusiasm and with the same heart, Vive la " The Electoral Colleges of the Gironde, the Seine Inferieure, and the Yonne, are convoked fcr the 14.1 a Oct , to elect representatives in the room of MM.

The news that a Protestant place of worship was about to be built has awakened the fanaticism of the masses. This agitation became more violent still, when the parish priest of Inns pruck, having proposed in the municipal council to declare that the town of Innspruck should always continue to be a Catholic commune, this proposition was rejected. The country clergy have represented to the peasantry that the Catholic faith was in great danger from it. The Catholic Union have held a great meeting in Innspruck, at which the Prince HOHENLOHE pronounced a discourse so fanatic that it has shocked the most ardent Catholics." An announcement of the appointment of RADETSICY as Stadholder, and of HATNAU as Commander in- Chief of the Lombardo-Venetian kingdom appears in the Gratz Gazette. Large domains have been con ferred on RADETSKT, HAYNAU, and JELLACLIICH. The following account of the reception of the Hun garian refugees in Turkey appears in the German Returns:— " On the 20th August the first body of about 20 refu gees arrived at Kalafat, escorted by half a squadron of Turkish cavalry. They were furnished with lodgings, and allowed liberty to walk about in the city without a guard. Among them was Dembinski, Messaros, and the two brothers Pertzwl. mbinski ►ufl'ered from a wound in the left shoulder. Alter staying here some hours boats were sent from Widdin to convey them to the other side of the river. During the afternoon of the 24th, Kossuth arrived with three baggage-waggons. He also repaired to the Turkish authorities, who immediately furnished him with a small boat to rejoin bis companions. The Austrian consular agent received intelligeuce the next day that Kossu&b, Messaros, Dembinski, and the other refugees, were lodged in a suburb of Widdin, where the Turkish authorities have given Kokouth a guard of honour."

The First Chamber of Prussia, in the sitting of the 18th annulled its vote for striking out the clause of tho Conetitution relative to the establishment of a EVEN IN G, SEPTEMBER 22, 1849. national guard ; and it adopted a clause, enacting that " a national guard shall be formed to protect order, persons, and property." The Chamber after wards proceeded with the discussion of the other clauses of the Constitution, but nothing of interest occurred. A letter from Berlin states that the town of Kalisch is to be made a free entrepot of commerce, in order to offer, in accordance with the treaties of 1815, those advantages to Prussia of which she is at present de prived by the blockade of the frontiers.

RUSSIA. The funeral of the Grand Duke MICHAEL took place at Warsaw on the 16th. The French Ambas sador and his suite have left Warsaw for St. Peters burgh. The Circassians, taking advantage of the with drawal of the Russian forces from their frontiers for the Hungarian campaign, have expelled the Russians from an immense extent of territory, and have destroyed several of their forts. The Circassians have crossed the, Couban, and put all the Russian garrisons in that quarter to the sword. HOLLAND. CHANGE OF MINISTRY. The Journal du Commerce states that on the 18th, at the close of the Cabinet Council, a'l the Mini-ters cn masse tendered their resignation. The KING accepted the same this morning, and has summoned M. VAN LIGHTENVELDT and M. DONKER CERTIUS, and charged them with the formation of a new Ministry. SWITZERLAND. The Council of State of Tessin has received the following explanation of the cause of the concentra tion of the Austrian troops on the frontiers of their canton : -, ‘The Austrian Generals assert that the concentration is for the purpose—first, of-inducing Tessin to agree to t h e measures adopted by the Federal Council in respect to the refugees ; secondly, as a precaution against the assembling of the discontented o f a ll countr i es i n t h e ca nton ; and, th irdly, to be ready to meet any casulity which might arise from the entry ot the German refugees into Switzerland. ITALY. Accounts from Rome of the 12th state that the breach between the French and Papal Governments was becoming every day wider. The POPE, intending " to keep the promise to the ear, but break it to the hope," sent an amnesty, which was in fact no amnesty at all, and General ItosToLart, refusing to be a party to such a Jesuitical juggle, very properly refused to accept or publish it. Letters from Florence announce that the Grand DUKE is about to visit the Emperor of AUSTRIA at Trieste. Previous to his departure he will publish a liberal amnesty. GARIaALDI left Genoa on the 16th for Tunis, where he will remain for three months. If at the expira tion of that time public tranquillity should continue undisturbed, he will be permitted to return to Pied mont. The Concordia of Turin, of the 17th, gives the following parti cu l ars concern i ng G aeinALDi ' s v i s it to ice :—" GARIBALDI h as , s o to say, b een ca r r i e d in triumph by th e p o p u l a ti on of Nice. He e mbrac e d with emotion his old mother, his aunt, and his other relations, who premed him to their bosoms, while his children, MENOTTI and RICIOTTI, em braced his knees. This happy interview was sad dened only by the absence of his late wife, whom the .brave officer has been so cruelly bereaved of du ring the latter ev ents. GARIBALDI called upon his friend DESDERY, who has adopted his little daughter TERESITA ; GARIBALDI'S carriage could move but slowly in the streets, as every body wished to greet him. When TERESITA saw her father, she ex claimed, Grandmarnma has been to Rome, she will have told you how good I have been GARIBALDI was struck with these simple words, which but too clearly reminded him of the loss he had sustained. He passed the day with his friend DESDREY, and next morning returned on board the St. Georges, as he had promised. He was everywhere saluted by cheers on his way to the steamer. 'The following is a letter of his to one of his friends : "My dear friend—l am to sail to-morrow for Tunis on board the Tripoli. I have seen what you have done for me, and what your gent roux colleagues have dune. I charge you to e x pr e ss my gratitude to them. I have no reason to complain of any one. I believe we are in times in which resignation is necessary, for we are in times of bittfrness. Remember me to all the brave defenders of the Italian cause, and love your " Genoa, Sept. 15." "JOSEPH GARRIBALDL The Concordia adds that the authorities at Genoa treat him with the greatest regard. He has an orderly at his service, and a sentinel at his door. His friends are allowed free access to him. WEST SURREY ELECTION. (THIS I)AY.) GUILDFORD, SATURDAY MORNING.—This day having been appointed for the elnc!ion iit a Member to repre aent the Western Division of Surrey in Parliament, in he room of W. J. Denisi•n, Esq., deceased, the notni. nation was fixed for ten o'clock, and bhortly before that h. ar both parties emerged from their respective hotels, and paraded the strecs. On arriving at the Town Hall thn proceedings were npet;ed by the Sheriff, and the candidates were in due course presented to the e!ectors. Colonel 11. SUI.INER proposed Mr. E ve lyn, and Mr. Tuna Low, in a brtet speech, seconded the motion. Mr. Goss, Chairman of the Bench of Magistrates, pro posed Mr. Edgell, and the nomination was seconded by Mr. LONG, of Farnham. The candidates having respectively addressed the electors, a show of hands was taken and declared to be in favour of Mr. Edgell. The friends of Mr. Evelyn demanded a poll, which the Sheriff announced would take place on Tuesday S and Wednesday next. A vote of thanks to the Sheriff closed the proceedings of the day.. The business excited to much interest, that the pro ceedings, which commenced in the Town Hall, had to be adjourned into the open air. CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Justice V% ILLIAHS and Alderman Sir CHAP• MAN MARSHALL.) EBIBEZZLZMENT. — A respectably attired young man, named Adward Reed Sertzenick, described as a clerk. was indicted for ernbezalir.g two several sums of 301. and 801., the property of Messrs. Maireo, his employers. Mr. Ballantine appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Clarkson defended the prisoner. It appeared from the statement of the Learned Counsel and the evidence for the prosecution, that the prosecutors were auctioneers and house and estate agents, and the prisoner bad fill. d the situation of ma nager of one department of their business, for which he was paid, besides a commision on the business he trans acted, a weekly salary of 105. In the course of his duties he had to apply to a Mr. Fletcher, the °weer of a house in Chester-square, which had been let through the agency of the prosecutors, for 301. to discharge the landlord's taxes, and he was furnished with a cheque for the amount, but instead of devoting the money to the purpose for which it was obtained he applied it to his own use. There was a second case against the prisoner of obtaining and embezzling 801., which had been paid to him as t h e co ll ector o f t h e prosecutor tor the rent of a house which had also been let theourah the instrument:dity of his employers; but when charged with having neglected to apply the 304 to the payment of the taxes, or to hand over the 801. to the landlord of the house in respect of which it bad been phi, or to the prosecutors, he set up a claim to being a partner in the firm of Messrs. aired, and insisted that he had therefore a right to make what use of the money he thought proper without rendering himself liable to a criminal prosecution. It was, however, shown that, although the prisoner filled a very confidential and responsible situation in the ser vice of the prosecutors, he acted solely in the capacity of a paid servant, and had never been looked upon or con sidered in the light of a partner either by the prosecu tors or the principals, for whom they acted. The payment of the money to the prisoner, and his neglect to account for it having been proved, it was pro posed to put in a letter in the handwriting of the prisoner to establish the character of the connexion between him and the prosecutors, but Mr. CLARILSON contended that it partook of the na ture of an agreement, whereof the value was above the value of 20/. ; and inasmuch as it bore no stamp it could not be admitted in evidence. The COURT reserved the point, but still allowed the letter to be read. Mr. CLARIEsore then argued that the letter was evi dence of a partnership between the prisoner and the prosecutor, and ought at once to determine the case in favour of his client. Mr. BALLANTINE was beard on the other side, and The COURT determined to reserve this point also, at the same time expressing an opinion that it had better be put to the jury to say, whether or not they thought a partnership did exist between the parties. One of the prosecutors was accordingly cross examined with the view of establishing the tact that a partnership did exist. Mr. t LARKHON subsequently addressed the jury for the defence, insisting that the moneys received by the prisoner formed part of the debt due to him and the prosecutors, as partners, and they ought, therefore, to have no hesitation in acquitting him of this unjust charge. Mr. Justice Wzraiesis summed up, and The jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty. N COURT.- No case was tried in E thi W s court during the morning.
