SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY• GLOBE.—The Tories begin to open their eyes to the difficulties of their position. The season of revelry, and with it the insolence of triumph, have nearly closed. How they shall conduct the Government which they are to obtain, as the consequence of their dearly-bought victory, begins t- be the inquiry of their most sober organs, as it, doubtless, is of the proximate Premier, and those whom he has admitted to, his preliminary coun sels. The Post of this morning enters upon this dis cussion with admissions too important to be overlooked, and too manifest to be concealed. "No doubt," says the organ of the expectant Government, " if Sir Robert Peel be made Minister, his position will be anything but a bed of roses." And again—" The business of suc cessfully governing the country will be a task of the ut most difficulty, unless a current of good fortune should set in, upon which it would be quite unreasonable to calcu late.' That these difficulties should be charged upon the present Ministers is not surprising. Had their accusers been content with saying, " We have already shown that these embarrassments have been produced by her Majesty's present Ministers," there might have been some difficulty in repelling an imputation conveyed in such general and untangible phraseology. But as the particulars of the charge are recapitulated, the task of investigating andAisproving its allegations is rendered comparatively easy. The accusation will be made to recoil upon the accusers—its failure will exhibit the im potency of their malignity, on finding themselves en tangled in the meshes of a net they have woven with their own hands. The difficulties they anticipate are the fruit of their own dishonesty and temerity. For the consequences they must be held accountable to the country they have deceived ; and from the helm of whose affairs they will shortly be driven with the scorn and indignation which are the just punishment of the decep tion they have practised upon the nation, from motives of the basest and most sordid kind, and for purposes which involve the ruin of the country's interests as the price of securing to a few, and fur a brief interval, ex clusive advantages. _ _ STANDARD.—The Morning Chronicle has pro pounded a new doctrine to the people . of England, and one that would render the British Constitution a mere nullity. Parliament is, according to our Contem porary, to be no longer permitted a voice in the admi nistration of publieuffairs, now that it requires, by a large majority, the exclusion from office of the Mi nisters to whom the country stands indebted for its pre sent difficult, and, under their management, pre carious position. After numerous and energetic at tempts on the _part of the friends of the Govern ment to attribute - the present depressed state of our finances and manufactures to the mere apprehen sion of the advent to office of a Conservative Government, and continual suggestions to Sir Robert Peel that his "bed will not be one of roses," they do not hesitate to declare it unconstitutional for the leader of the powerful majority now arrayed against Lord Melbourne and his colleagues "to force himself upon a reluctant Sovereign, with whom rests, constitution ally, the choice of her Ministers." The Sovereign of Great Britain is, according to this new exposition of consti tutional law, to govern without any reference to the opi nion of Parliament. She is to legislate in despite of, rather than in accordance with, the will of her people I She is to assume a despotic power over them, awl set the opinions of the House of Commons, more than ratified by her subjects, wholly at defiance. It is, in fact, sheer impertinence, or rather " insolence," for an overwhelming majority of the House of Commons to look to the accession to power of any body possessed of their appro!iation and representing their opinions. La Reine vent is, if these patriotic organs of public opinion are to be credited, to be not merely the mainspring, but the sole spring of English constitutional Govern nient. Sir - Robert Peel must not aspire to be Minister of this empire against the supposed desire of the Sove reign ; the present selfish and unprincipled aspirants to her 'Majesty s favour having, so far as was in their power, carefully excluded from her society all persons who were not likely to impress her with the belief that they and they only were competent to administer the affairs of the country, and that they could boast a sup port to which the late elections have proved that they had not the slightest pretension. It was hardly necessary to remind us of the indecent and unconstitutional use made by Lord Melbourne's supporters of her Majesty's name, on recent as well as on many other occasions—" the desire of the Sovereign ought to be the desire of her people ;" and we deprecate, therefore, as most in decent and unconstitutional, so unwarrantable a use of her Majesty's name: To ascribe to the Sovereign of these realms an inclination to subvert the first prin ciples of our Constitution, fcr the sake of her own per sonal predilections, is to insult her Majesty and outrage the . feeline-s of her people. COURIER.—Spain is now about to verify, or is ac tually verifying, thosQ predictions which we ventured to hazard at the time when the eastern question was threatening that disruption of the general peace of na tions, which subsequently ripenedinto partial warfare, and that breach in the special alliance with France which the chance expulsion of Lord Palmerston's turbulent French coadjutor may be said rather to have salved over for the moment than healed. We then endeavoured to draw the attention of the Foreign Secretary to the fact, that Spain was the theatre where the grand drama of British and French alliance and policy would have to be enacted and its sincerity tested, and that, however the curtain might be -drawn for a time, the ac tors`, one portion at least, were not the less busy behind the scenes rehearsing their parts and preparing for their appearance at the opportune season. These events, not difficult to foresee, are now in progress of accomplish ment, and Spain, according to all accounts, is now ripe- for another revolution, and probably for the re surrection of a civil war as fierce in its characteristics, if not of duration as prolonged, as that so freshly concluded by the convention of Bergara and the ex pulsion of the Carlists. A civil war is not, however, the only misfortune, terrible though that be, hanging over unhappy Spain, for it may come to pass that such war may this time lead to that intervention and occupation of the country by foreign, thatis French, armies, so long advottted by the leading men of all parties in France, and so often threatened and nearly consummated heretofore by more than one of the Cabinets of the Tuileries. However pacific the policy of M. Guizot—however cautious or timid of committing himself to the ultimo ratio Louis Philippe, it may be doubted whether a resolute opposition to the national will, and to the thirst insanely cherished for national aggrandizement, might not cost the enlightened statesman, emphatically and deservedly compliroentated by our Contemporary, the Herald, as the "minister of peace,"- his place in the Cabinet, if not the monarch himself his throne. Independently, however, of the interests and the glory, as so construed, of the vivacious people he may almost be said to reign ever but not rule, Louis Philippe-has personal and family views aids own to manage and accomplish ; and whilst France would hail with transport .the martial array and con quering course of her legions in Spain, if only to dim the lustre or balance the account of British triumphs on the coasts of Syria, the Sovereign, more calculating and forecasting, would rejoice in the occasion fur recasting the family compact founded by the Grand Monarque, and being enabled with him and the conquering soldier of more modern days, once more to exclaim—R n'y a plus de Pyrenees. MONEY MARKET anti Cl'fY NEWS. FROM THE MORNING PATERS OF YESTERDAY. TIMES.—The prices of the English Stocks have ,not materially fluctuated to-day, but the very changeable state of the weather continues to have an unfavourable influence over the markets in general. The demand for money at the Stock Exchange is not at all extensive, but in the discount world it is said to be increasing, and to such an extent that for lodgments the brokers allow that in the rate of 4 per cen t. It does not, however, follow there is any gre at embarrassment the commercial circles, and, from all that can be learned, it is more a temporary demand than otherwise. ADERTISER.—Besides the Germans, the Dut c h a l so been to have. well-founded apprehensions respecti ng t h e probable effect of a tr ni on, or Commercial Leagu e , be tween Belgium and Fra nce. Experience doubtless justi fies-these fears, for we all know that the patron g e an d alliance of a °Teat power with a small one must b e granted by the former for the ulterior object of . its own benefit . or aggrandizement. In th e present .in stance we may , take it . for granted that the . object contemplated is purely commercial, that it has no political tendency, arid yet allowing eve n this, which is far more than examination will justify, we still per ceive, i e, in the contemplated league, much that is likely to affect the trade of this country, as well as that of the Con tinent. The French require an extension of t he mark et for the produce of their Colonial possessions. The Bel gians want an opening in these colonies for their manu factures. By a union it is supposed these objects can be obtained, and such stipulations be made at the same time as to satisfy all parties. We do not ourselves augur from such an alliance all the splendid advantages repre sented as being likely to accrue from it, but we see clearly that it will be another link in the chain of exclusion and monopoly, of which this country has hitherto held up so long a proportion. With Prussia and its German allies on the one hand, France and its " little adopted" on the other, the United States and its threatened tariff ap proaching, and the Brazils perhaps not far behind, it must be owned that we have a highly favourable prospect for the extension of our foreign trade, by retaining our venerated and admirable Code of fiscal laws. CHRONICLE.—The recent meeting of the share holders of the Marylebone Bank shows that there is much room for improvement in the system of Joint-Stock Banks in England, not only in regard to the management itself, for the safety of the shareholders, but in regard to the available capital for the safety of the public. Had the "Marylebone Bank been a hank of issue, it is plain enough that the noteholders Must have been exposed to risk, for the - liabilitieS amounted to :30,000/., while the immediate assets were only 11,0001. ; and it seems doubtfal whether the other means outstanding will ultimately cover the de ficiency of 19,000/. Men of standing mid reputation should never have allowed their names to appear as direc tors it 3 / 4 such a paltry concern. The conduct of the di rectors expos ::'s them to the managinge of great ladies and neglect. - The account of Hannay, the clie . ,:etor, could not have been overdrawn to the extent of ona farthing if they had exercised due vigilance ; much less could the over drafts have been of long standing, and to the amount of 16,0001. The interests of the shareholders have been very grossly abused in this case, and may be, and have been equally neglected in the same way in other Joint-Stock Banks. Much of the same species of malversation appears in the affairs of the Marylebone Bank, as were lately brought to light in those of the Bank of the U n it e d S tates , a l t h oug h o f f ar l ess amoun t and of lesser moral impropriety in the former than in the latter case. In the case of the Bank of the United States, the Directors and executive officers loaned the money of t h e Bank for their own use, and repaid the amount by State Stocks at par, which they picked up in the Stock 'Market at heavy discounts to suit their . . purposes. In the case of the Marylebone Bank, Mr. • Hannay had entire and uncontrolled authority to do just as he pleased with the funds ' and it is stated by a Contemporary that each director had an allowance of a largo number of shares, with liberty to sell them if at a premium, and on the express understanding that the Bank was to redeem them at par in the event of a con trary movement. The directors had thus a snug thing of it, if the shares rose to a premium, and were free from all loss, whatever might be- their value in the market. This is most objectionable practice, and ought to attract the attention of Parliament to the de fective state of the laws relating to joint stock banking. The unlimited confidence placed in the managing director, in the case of the Marylebone Bank, points out the inefficiency a general board of directors, and the expediency of appointing a special committee of directors, in all Joint-stock Banks, who should be al lowed a fair remuneration, and give their sole time and attention to the affairs of their employers. It is impos sible that gentlemen who come to the Board-room only for an hour or two once or twice a week, can have that knowledge of the business of the Bank to which they be long which is necessary to enable them to keep the machinery in safe and wholesome action, and to main tain a proper superintendence and check-upon the con duct of the executive officers. While they only attend these weekly meetings in the Board-room, they merely give their voice on the business that may be brought before them, which is prepared by, and must depend upon, the will and disposition of the paid officers of the ' Bank. These are often most able, trustworthy, and in telligent men, but they are not always so, as the cases of the Marylebone Bank, and that of the Bank of the United States and others, prove most clearly. To pre vent a, recurrence of such exposures as have taken place in these institutions, a standing committee of directors should attend daily and apply their sole time and at tention to the management. • HERALD.—On referring to the annual report of the treasury department at Washington. as laid befot:e Con gress, on the banking concerns of the Union, it must excite no little astonishment to find how the insolvent banks contrive to " rub on'in the midst of difficulties, disasters and disgraces of all sorts, with rag dollar paper everywhere depreciated, and at large discounts, with deposits and .specie decreasing, with capitals cut down in most cases, or entirely squandered, that is, where any•were ever started with in hard cash, yet with rag dollar circulation again on the increase. The New York and Boston specie paying banks are not of course included within this category of fraudulent joint stock bank traders. The returns embrace a view of the business affairs of the banks of the .Union sepa rately and in the aggregate, although it is stated they are not to be depended upon as entirely satisfactory, from the loose manner in which prepared, and ac counts kept by the banks themselves. They comprise 830 banks and branches, of which the monstrous num ber of 400 are in a state of suspension, never, it was believed, to resume. It appears from returns made up to January, 1841, that the aggregate deposits in these banks fell from 127,300.000 dollars in 1837 to 72,800,000 in 1841, or about 43 per cent., whilst the circulation was reduced less than 17 per cent, and the discounts and loans about 19 per cent. ; the specie between the same two extreme points having decreased nearly 8 per cent. It will be observed however that circulation was on the in crease in 1841 as compared with 1840 by nearly 18,000,000 dollars. It is clearly impossible, with such notorious bank corruption and mismanagement, to guess yet, with any approximate approach to precision, when the end of monetary and commercial embarrassment may be anticipated in the United States. A decree has been issued by the Government of Peru prohibiting any vessel touching at ,the smaller ports of the republic under very heavy pßialties. This decree will bear with great hardship upon whalers and other ships which may hare been in the practice of calling at the harbours most convenient for procuring fresh provi sions. It was to come into operation on the Ist of Fe bruary last, and inflicts the penalty of 1,000 dollars upon the captain of any vessel, whether national or foreign, if it touch at any of the minor ports or coves on the coast, the vessel to be liable whether owned by the cap tain or othe'rs. if, moreover, it be proved that any per son, goods, or letters, have been landed from the vessel at any port at which she may have thus touched, contrary to the law, the vessel will be confiscated, and the cap tain in addition will become liable to a criminal prosecu tion. The penalties under this decree being so heavy, and the term " minor ports and coves" so vague, the principal places ought surely to be enumerated, or a fruitful field of endless litigation and annoyance is opened. LATE FIRE AT BLACKHEATH. MIRACULOUS ESCAPE OF SIXTEEN PERSONS. The walls of the destroyed premises are standing, but their condition is exceedingly dangerous. The escape of Mr. Waller, with his wife and 11 children, was truly miraculous. He says he retired to bed with his family shortly after eleven o'clock, leaving a female who had been engaged to make some dresses for his children at work in one of the front rooms on the first floor. He had not been asleep more than two hours and a half, when he was aroused by a violent shriek of a female, and the cries of "- Fire, fire," on the heath ; and on jumping out of bed found his room full of smoke. With- , out stopping to put on his clothes, he ran out of the apartment, when, on arriviug at the first floor landing, he discovered the female above alluded to in a state of stupor, against the wainscoting in her night dress, which was on fire in several parts. Im mediately on her recovering, which was in a few seconds, she said, " 0 God, save yourself, the house is on fire, it is raging in my room," which he found to be the case, for on opening the door the flames burst forth and as cended the staircase. He instantly closed it, and pro ceeddd to awake his mother, who slept in a room adjoin ing that on fire, and carried her out of the house on to the green facing the premises, where he left her in her night dress, and returned 'to saye his wife and children, who were all asleep. It was with great difficulty that they could be:got down stairs, in consequence of the heated smoke that was rushing up from the burning apartment, and almost suffocating them. They were all in their bed-clothes, and were unable to save one particle of wearing apparel. About three minutes after the flames broke through the windows and ascended to the attics, where the servants were sleeping, and they not having made their appear ance, it was feared they had perished from suffocation. Mr. Waller, however, rushed up the staircase at the risk of his life, and, arriving at the top of the house,' found the poor creatures screaming dreadfuliy. They had ' locked their doors and were unable to unfasten them, but were immediately released as he burst the doors open. Very shortly after -the building became enveloped in flames, and its destruction followed with rapidity. It has been correctly ascertained by the surveyors of the different insurance-offices, that the fire originated in the room where the female was at needlewo r. rk, and it is suspected by Mr. Waller that she fell asleep, and her candle set fire to her work on the table, and thence it communicated to the hangings of the bed. She, how ever,•asserts such not to be the case. She says she left off work soon after the family had retired, and went to bed, and had been asleep long before she was awoke and found the place on fire. She is positive of having safely extinguished the candle before getting into bed. The only property saved out of Mr. Waller's residence were two caskets, one containing money, and the other jewellery of great value. . Mr. Waller, who only re turned from Java, in the East Indies, with his family, a fortnight since, is a great sufferer, being wholly unin sured, having lost almost all he possessed, besides an ' immense quantity of curiosities which he had ben up. wards of 20 years collecting in India.

General Register Office, Aug. --- SHOCKING AND SINGULAR ACCIDENT.-- Thursday morning, as a man named Samuel Slapshaw, a helper in the service of Mr. Turner, livery-stable keeper, and veterinary surgeon, Regent-street, was in Portland-place, exercising a horse belonging to a lady, and which had been sent to his employer's to be ex amined previous to its being disposed of, on arriving nearly opposite Langham Church, the animal stumbled, and falling on its knees, threw him forward, when catch ing him by the head and shoulders, it in that position dragged him several feet, and then lying on its back, before he could be extricated, rolled repeatedly over him. On being picked up he was found to be bleeding pro fusely from the head, and wrs moaning piteously. He was immediately placed on a shutter, and conveyed to the Middlesex Hospital, where on examination it was discovered that his left shoulder was dislocated, his face and head dreadfully contused, and that he had sustained serious internal injuries. The horse, a very valuable one, was much , disfigured, being severely cut on the knees, back, and . other parts. PRICES OF CANAL,DOCK,ASSU ANCE COMPANY SHARES, &c. &c. &c. LONIJON, FRIDAY, AUG. 13.

ROLLS' COURT, Aug. 12. FOWLER U. SIR MATTHEW WOOD, BART. Mr. KELLY (with whom were Mr. Turner and Mr. Walker) on the part of Sir Matthew Wood and Jacob Osborne, stated that the object of the present application was to obtain from the Court an order that the issues directed to be tried by the Court at the late assizes for Glou - cester might be tried at the ensuing assizes to be held at Bristol, in and for the county of the said city of Bristol. By an order of this Court, made on the 23d July last, certain issues of devisavit vel non were directed by this Court to be tried at the then ensuing, but now late assizes for Gloucester, and that order directed that the trial should take place before a Special Jury, to be composed of persons not living within twelve miles of Gloucester, and an order to, that effect was made by Mr. Justice Patteson. The parties went down to trial, and in so doing his clients had *expended 3,0001., but eight only of the jurors summoned appeared. He accordingly prayed a tales, but that was objected to, and he then submitted t 0... the. Court that the 6th George IV., - Cap. 50, imperatively requirad that a tales should be taken, but Mr. Justice Coleridge considered that with a tales the trial" would he a nullity. It was then asked that the trial should be postponed one day. That also was refused. The postponement was then asked for one hour that the Rristol coach, which was supposed to contain some of the jurymen, might come in, but this was refused. It was then offered to , try the issues with eight jurymen. This alio was de clined, so that there was no trial, and the Court sepa rated. These were the facts as regarded the direction of the Court. It was now asked that the issue might be Lied at the assizes to be held at the city of Bristol. In refusing to complete the Jury at Gloucester from the common panel, he conceived that the Jury Act had been misconceived. The course with respect to issues di rected by this Court was to carry them into effect sub stantially ; they were, however, subject to the same rules as any ordinary action at law, and were controlled only by the special directions of this Court, which were engrafted upon the proceedings at law, in all other re spects they were to be tried in the usual manner. This Court might direct the trial to be had without a tales. It might also direct a trial to be had in Middlesex, before a Jury drawn from another county, or in any other way, so that the proceedings were according to law. Lord LANGDALE observed that the object of the trial was to satisfy the conscience of the Judge who had to decide, either according to the facts, or to follow them so far as would be proper for working out the point re quired. Mr. KELLY-It was argued that there was no power to try the case except before a Special Jury, but that was not according to the Jury Act. By that statute a Judge in Equity had no power to direct that a trial should be had before a Special Jury. Lord LANGDALE waa,disposed to accede to that argu ment; an order of this Court was only an intimation to the Judge at law that the Judge of this Court would not feel satisfied with any other Jury than that specified in the order of Court. • Mr. KELLY submitted, that after the case was brought before a Court of Law no choice was left, and that a tales must of necessity b. impannelled at the request of either party. This application was made by way of appeal, and tile questions were, whether the issues ought not to have been tried, or whether there was to be a failure of justice, either by error or accident, or whether some other order ought not to be made to carry it into effect, and whether the jurymen should not have been called from the com mon jury panel. The Learned Gentleman then mentioned two cases,. but without any references, and said that the trial might, by the direction of this Court, be had at Bristol, before the Jury summoned at Gloucester. Lord LANGDALE observed, that an objection to have the trial at Bristol had previously been made. Sir F. PoLLocx, on behalf of the heirs-at-law of the late James Wood, deceased, said that the Jury could only decide who were the executors of a testator by the pro bate of the will. He could well understand why the heirs-at-law did not proSecute the useless ejectments they had brought in ; there they were certain of success. From February, 1839, when 'Sir Herbert Jenner gave his judgment in the Ecclesiastical Court, to the present year, the alleged exectitors had been willing parties in the passive proceedings of. the heirs-at-law ; that decision was fatal to their right as devisees. From that time the tenants had refused to pay their rents .to them, and it was not till June, 1840, that the devisees sought to en force their claim. The tenants then filed their bill of interpleader, and brought their rents into Court in order that they might pay them to such of the parties as should be ultimately found entitled. With respect to Special Jury cases, even a Court of Law was in the habit of granting a new trial when but a few Special Jurymen attended ; but it was not a statutable right to pray a tales when the trial to be had was founded on special authority ; and such an application as the present could not be granted whether the trial failed by error or accident. Lord LANGDALE could only consider that the trial had failed by accident. Sir F. POLLOCK said that, entrusted as he was with the interests of infants and married women, he could consent to nothing ; besides, if a tales had been taken by consent, he much' doubted if there would be any indict ment for perjury. Mrs._ Goodlake was one of the wit nesses sought to be examined ; she had already been ex amined upon depositions in the Ecclesiastical Court, and that evidence was on record. Mr. Phillpott was another of those witnesses. Respecting him he should not say a word ; he . was not about t 9 quit the country, neither was there any probability that he would die berore the the spring asslzos. The trial at the late assizes had failed by accident, and had been made a remanet, and must be tried before the Jury already summoned, if that Jury was not discharged ; and it was so stated in all the books of practice. If this application were granted not a farthing of the expense incurred would be of any use, since there must be a new record, fresh Court expenses, and even the subpoenas fo'r the wit nesses at Gloucester would not be good by consent; there must, therefore, be a new jury panel and fresh jurors. The same Counsel also did not go that circuit; the heirs at-law, therefore, would have to retain Counsel whom they would have to instruct over again, and they would have to begin to learn all the facts of the case. But was the fund in Court (9001.) the reason for these fresh pro ceedings ? " Not so," said Mr. Walker, " this trial is to decide other points." 'Were the heirs-at-law, then, in such a case as this, upon the supposition that this appli cation could be granted, to go and retain and instruct Counsel ; and even when they had done so, what secu rity was there that the trial would take place ? The wit nesses might be gone abroad, and other difficulties might arise, so that he submitted the Court could not see its way. He denied also that ,jurymen were bound to leave their county except in obedience to the Court of Queen's Bench ; and if they went by consent they were not liable to punishment. Did Sir Matthew Wood want the 9001. in Court ? If so, he might have it upon givin proper security to return it if the case ultimately should be decided against him ; but if the case was to be tried, let that trial be had in a manner and at a place where it would be satisfactory. His clients were in humble cir cumstances, they had already expended 1,0001. in pre paring for this trial ; 37 witnesses had been summoned, 33 of whom lived near Bristol ; Counsel had been long retained, and others not so well acquainted with the case would have to be instructed, and even notice of this tip plicatien had been sent to Gloucester on Tuesday night, by a special messenger, requiring the instant attendance of his clients. He did, therefore, trust that this unusual, unprecedented, and anomalous application would be re fused, with costs. Mr. SHARPE (with sihotif 'Was . Mr. Barber) followed on the same side. Mr. KELLY replied, in the course of which lie, on the put of his clients, offered to pay the extra expense which the heirs-at-law would be put to by having the trial taken to Bristol, and to submit to a rule for that purpose. Lord LANGDALE said that John Fowler, the plaintiff in this case, was one of the t enan t s o f the l a nds of th e late James Wood; these lands were claimed by Sir Mat thew Wood and others, as devisees, and also by the heirs- at-law, who insisted that they took by descent, on the ground that there was an intestacy. The plaintiff had filed this bill to protect himself from these conflict ing claims, and an injunction had been granted upon payment of the rent into the Court. An application had been made to the Court in this suit, which contained two results—the one was to order the money to be paid out of Court to Sir Matthew Wood and others, or to put the case in a "proper course of investigation. When this was discussed, both parties said they were ready to try the question by an issue; and after some discussion certain issues were ultimately settled, both parties proceeded to trial, but as the order made contained directions to sum mon a special jury of persons not residing within 12 miles of Gloucester, it was considered that the .ease could only be tried by a Jury so summoned. The trial was directed to satisfy the mind of the Judge in equity, and the order imposed upon the parties the necessity of bringing the case forward according to the rules or law. The direc tions were imperative upon the parties, but not upon the Judge at law ; to him they were nothing more than an intimation of what course was considered expedient. Upon the trial being called on, the jurymen were not there, and a question arose whether a tales should be had. The Judge thought not, and considered that the trial in that case would not be valid. When the issue was directed this difficsilty did not occur to the parties ; but as the ease stood he could new only consider that the trial had failed through accident. Was it on this ground ,to be tried at another place ? It was his duty to divest his mind of everything that had taken place elsewhere, and simply to regard the questions between the parties in thiS suit. There might be reasons for delay, of ,which he knew nothing, but as the case stood, he had heard no 'sufficient reason for changing the venue ; he put the suggestions of expense and the inability to instruct counsel out of the question. The 900/. in Court might be of consequence to the parties; they might attach great importance to it, and it was no small hardship to be deprived of counsel fully prepared. The Court, however, must endeavour to decide on the facts before it. The examination of the two witnesses might be important ; but he was afraid, if he admitted that as a reason, he might be called on to interfere in every case similarly situated. The case, as it was brought be fore him, was curious, and showed that other objects beside the trial were in view ; for one party said he was willing to allow the money to be taken out of Court on secury, and the other said he would rather pay the ex._ penses of the heirs-at-law than that the trial should not take place. As the case stood, therefore, before the Court, he thought it right to refuse the application. Mr. Sum asked for the costs. Lord LANGDALE said he should reserve the question of costs till after the trial of the issue. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. —Aug. 13. IN THE MATTER OF WHITMORE, WELLS, AND CO. This day being appoi n t e d f or rece iving proofs under the fiat against the b an k ru pt s , w h o ca rried on business as bankers in Lombard -street, the Court was thronged to excess by the creditors. A great number of debts, varying from thousands to a few pounds were admitted. TO NON-ELECTORS. HOW TO GAIN A VOTE, AND USE IT WITH- OUT INTIMIDATION Every Reformer who is excluded from the list of voters, and does not possess the necessary qualifications to get his name on the register, may as effectually-contri bute to the return of a Reform Candidate as if he had a vote for himself, and that vote 'Was protected from inti midation by the ballot; if he Will examine the list of voters, which may be seen at the house of any overseer this day, and make a note of the name anti address of any Tory that appears on the register and is not in every way qualUied. He should immediately forward the information, with ground of objection, to some active Reformer or Registration CoMmittee, who will object to him ; and if he is unable to prove himself qualified, will be excluded from the register, the onus of proof lying entirely with the person objected to. , Thus the Tory rote struck off will be one gained to the cause of Reform, and given as secretly, if not more so. than a rote given by the informant under the protec tion of the ballot! Surely the thousands in the metropolis excluded from the franchise, and those who.have been compelled to sacrifice their consciences, and submit to the Most shame ful as well as shameless intimidation, will avenge them selves upon their intimidators, and thus regain the vote their private interest compelled them to give against their own honest conviction.

It appears that the unfor tunate lady, in company with her three children and nurse maid, were proceeding from their residence t o take morning airing in Hyde Park. On arriving in Comb t c land-place, she accidently trod on a bean-shell, sliPP e ' and fell heavily on the back of her head on the foot Py le , ment, where for some seconds she remained ins ensib, e • With assistance Mrs. F. was carried into a gentlero n 5 house. Surgical assistance was procured, when it iv° ascertained that she had sustained a slight concussion or! the brain. After partly recovering she was remove u to her residence. To add to the calamity the " unfortu nate lady is within a very short period of her confinemet' On Sunday se'nnigh' t the various list of voters were placed on the church and chapel doors in this borough.

THE Cnors.—A gentleman who has re centlY travelled over a considerable portion of the higher lanai of Ayrshire, informs us that both the white and green crops present a most unpromising appearance. No id es ' he says, can be formed of their condition from an y th ing to be seen in the vicinity of Ayr, or the more facomv6- soils of Cunninghame.—Ayr Observer. 'loCky THAMES TuNNE.L.—Thursday, at two O+C luck, Sir Isambard Brunel passed through,the tun the and ascended into the shaft on the Middlesex side f river. The small portion of the distance, about twenty' five feet, now incomplete, is Connected with the-shaft the Middlesex side of the river by a driftway t hrou r , -1 'which, at the end of the tunnel, Sir Isamba rd p assed . About an hour afterwards Mr. Hawes, - 11.f.P., and Mr. Hutton, late M.P. for Dublin, accompanied by 3,1 r. Ma son, -one of the assistant engineers, - also wal ked from notherhithe through the tunnel and the driftway to Wapping-. Mr. Page, the acting engineer , was in the short, and, with the men. received Sir Isambard with lo ud , cheers, who shortly addressed the men, thanking them for their courage and perseverance. Thus the great problem of the practicability of forming a roadway under the Thames, without interrupting the navigation, is prac tically solved.

Now, though we have often thought, a f e ' and spilt a great deal of ink, too, upon the Corn question, mind until never looked upon it in the light of a paste quesg°ll until that view of it was forcibly brought to our by the young " gentleman in black" who figures at tr, head of this paragraph. It so happens that he is entrustr," with the sole management of the paste-pot, but th ou g h advanced to this high dignity he, fortunately, ha s no the control of our exchequer, for if he had. n o doubt he would play the very d-1 with it. Well, to %cut a long_ story short, his imp-ship had to apply to our treasure! for the " ready" to supply his cauldron , and w hen he last did so, he exclaimed, to the horror of that econ omies' functionary, " It 'II take another penny, Sir, the doe r be riz so T." We say our clerk was alarmed. and s? would you be, gentle reader, if the Corn-laws had r , 51 ; milar effect upon your consumption of flour, for the " rii raised our expenditure far paste 50 per cent.
