The Chancellor of the Exci4equee, to whom he applied on the subject, immediately saw the Colony might be driven to great distress by the sudden stoppage of these bills, and declared himself ready to to propose to Parlia ment, in conjunction with him(laordtJo., they, Russell), to raise a treat sum of money by wa y o f loan. However, tallen the markets we re applied the State el the colony, for this purpose, and a cons id era bl e d ou bt was entertained as to the manner in whi c h it was to b e a pplied. Ile had previously stated that it was hi s i n t en tion to bring the declined to advance an considering c e money question under the consideration of Parliament. He owned his impression certainly was that it was not ne cessary to alter those Acts of Parliament. Ile would not now say whether the general principle on which they were based was sound or not ; but he thought it must be ad niitted that many provisions of those Acts were so incon venient, so lettered the colony on the one band, and en couraged expense on the other, that it would be impossi ble the colony could continue longer without some change. lie, therefore, moved for a Select Committee on Acts re lating to South Australia. Lord M A HON had received communications from per sons connected with the Australian colonies and well ac quainted with their circumstances and interests, who con sidered the Noble Lord (Lord John Russell) had acted upyn information exceedingly defective. At a meeting held et Hobart Totvn on the 29th of April, 1840, resolu tions were unanimously passed deprecating die changes that had been made in the system of convict labour by the Orders in Council, and expressing apprehensions that the most disastreus consequences would ensue from the aboli tion of the system of assignment. A petition from that meeting was laid before the Governor, Sir John Franklyn, founded on the resolutions, to which he replied that he could not depart from the Orders, although he did not think they were well advised, and he did not believe that there was anything in the previous system in consequence of which a respectable family of emigrants would be exposed to any contamination. The Noble Lord opposite did not seem to have been perfectly satisfied with Ilia own measures. Indeed he (Lord Mahon) thought the question was one of greater doubt and difficulty than many persons in this country were aware of. He would be happy himself to give as cry assistance his power towards the passing of a measure for the satisfactory regulation of these colonies. Lord STANLEY wished to put a question to which he hoped the Noble Lord (John Russell) would be able to give a sAisfactory answer. He thought that cases were very rare in which the Colonial Secretary should delegate to a Committee of that House the duties of his own office. He would not say that such cases did not sometimes arise ; but he hoped that as all the information necessary to assit the Committee in their judgment was already in the pos session of the Noble Lord, he would not throw the whole subject before them for inquiry, but that he would lay be fore them the information which he possessed, and ask their advice upon the views of the Government. Lord J. RUSSELL agreed with the Noble Lord as to the general principle that the government of the Colo nies should not be delegated to Select Committees. But the Colony of Australia formed a case by itself. It was not t stablished by the Crown but by an Act of Par liament, which certainly the Government had supported, and lie thought a Committee might properly he appointed to see what had been the effect of that Bill. But it was his intention that either he himself or the Under Secre tary for the Colonial Department should lay before the Committee the general views of the Government upon the subject. Ile did not think that convict labour was alto gether objectionable, but certainly he considered the system of assignment, as nearly as possible, a system of slavery. Mr. HUME was satiAed that the Noble Lord could relieve himself from a great deal of labour and greatly be nefit the Colonies, by allowing them to govern themselves, and to elect the persons who should manage their affairs. Motion agreed to. LAW REFORM. Sir F. POLLOCK obtained leave to bring in a Bill to amend the law relating to double costs, notices of actions, limitations of actions, and pleas of the general issue, under certain Acts of Parliament; and also a Bill to allow a writ of error in all cases of judgment upon mandamus. PUBLIC PETITIONS. On the motion of Lord JOHN RUSSELL, a Com mittee on Public Petitions was nominated, consisting of Mr. George William Wood, Sir Robert Ptel, Mr. O'Con nell, Sir Robert Harry IrgliF, illr. l3rotherton, Sir El ward Knatchbull, Mr. Clay, Mr. Wilson Patten, Mr. Ed ward Buller, Mr. Greene, Sir William Ileathcote, Mr. Freshfield, Mr. Yates, and Mr. William John Blake. TITHES. Mr. BROTHERTON, on the part of Mr. Baines, who was absent, moved for a return of all agreements for the commutation of tithes which have been confirmed by the Tithe Commissioners, from the Ist day of July 1840, to the Ist (14 of January 1841 (in continuation of the Order of last Session, No. 646), which was ordered. TIIE STANDING ORDERS. Mr. ESTCOURT moved for the appointment of a Select Committee on the Standing Orders, to consist of Mr. Estcourt, Sir Edward Kaatchbull, Sir James Graham, Sir Montague Chapman, Mr. William Miles, Sir Thomas Fremantle, Mr. Wilson Patten, Lord Viscount Sandon, Mr. Pendarves, Sir Robert Price, Sir George Strickland, Mr. Pringle, Sir Matthew Wood, Mr. Sanford, and Mr. Wilbraham. Sir C. GREY wished to £raw the - attention of the House to the slovenly and artificial manner in which the Orders were drawn up. The same Orders were so often repeated, under a different head, that a friend of his re mai ked that so many repetitions were only to be found in a song V, ith an old burden. After a few words in explanation from Mr. EST CO U RT, the motion was agreed to. Lord ASHLEY then moved an Address to her Ma jesty, praying that she will be graciously pleated to direct that the Commission appointed, in answer to an Address of this House on August, 4, 1840, for the investigation of certain branches of infant labour, do include within its in quiry that also of young persons according to the limit fixed by the definition of the Factory Act. The Noble Lord said that ho would not then dwell on the nature of the motion, as he understood it would not be opposed by her Majesty's Ministers. He nould, however, take that op portunity of expressing his high sense of the zeal and ability manifested by the Commissioners during the in quiry. He was sure, too, as the Hon. Member the Under Secretary for the Home Department had mentioned on a former occasion, that that inquiry had bad the most sooth ing effects, and had given almost unmitigated satisfaction. Mr. BROTHERTON seconded the motion. The motion was agreed to. RAILWAY BILL. On the motion of Mr. LABOUCHERE the Railway Bill was read a first time, and ordered to be read a second time on to-morrow (this da'c) fortnight. The House then adjourned at a Quarter to Eleven & Clock.

SUMMARY OF MORNING PAPERS. From an unusual press of matter we are compelled to relriet ourselves to a brief summary of the contents of the leading articles in the Morning Papers of yesterday. Tee 7'totes, speaking of Lord Stanley's Irish Registration Bill and Mr. O'Connell's' determined opposition to it, says:—" I: needs no prophet to assure us that this well considered Bill must pass. The reign of O'Connell over the people of Ireland has been established on perfidy and depravity. It is about to be subverted be justice and fair dea'ing. Who can wonder that the tyrant shudders at the risme of Lord Stanley, and cannot utter it without an exe cration:" The Morning Chronicle observes, with refer ence to Lord Stanley's Bill :—" Again and again we intreat the British paiblic not to suffer themselves to be duped by the professions of Tory legislators and the titles of Tory Bills. The Bill in question is entitled a Registration Bill. That title is a lie ! 'The Bill is a Bill of disfranchisement, and nothing else. It is a measure expressly concocted to co-operate with the system of extermination going forward with cruel rapidity in Ire land, to leirg about a restoration of the execrable Orange sway." The Morning Post thus alludes to the same oh. noxious 13;11 :—" Lord Stanley's calm and guarded perse vcraece will aucceed, and to him will belong much of the honour and credit of abating the foulest nuisance which row ievades the purity and honesty of the representation of t e e pe o pl e in the Douse of Commons." The Morning Herald, in a leading article on the subject of the approech- Mg East Surrey Election, remarks es follows :—" The Teames must flaw back on its source, before the current of pa litical feeling in East Surrey runs in a Whig-Radical chan nell. ' The .31,,rning A,kfrtiscr has the following remarks on the subject of our Eastern policy :—" The glorious vic tories achieved on the Syrian coast, and the final settle ment of the differences which existed between Turkey and Egypt, have fully justified the confidence whit h we placed in the ability of the Noble Lord at the head of the Foreign Department, and in the good sense of his col icagues in entertaining and giving support to his views. The settlement in ectestion, upon the basis originally pro posed by the Powers, parties to the Treaty of July 15, may now be said to have insured the general peace, and re stored the balance of power, by esniblishieg the integrity and independence of a vital clement of it. Nor has the mode in which this has been effected by the surrender of the Turkish fleet, and the good faith with which the Sultan has acted, in confirming the Viceroy in the hereditary pachalic of Egypt, at the instigation of the Four Powers, left any room to 6elieve that the settlement which has been effected will be disturbed by any more reservations or pro tests, on the part of either the disagreeing or consenting psi-ties. The rapid success of our arms would have seemed unaccountable, had not the sympathies of the Mahomedan population of Syria gone along with them, and in this alto, though much deprecated at the time, the event justified the completion of the Quadruple Treaty, at the moment when the Syrian insurrection broke out. No means could have been better pro portioned to the end, nor could any have been used which gave less cause to other Powers to dread aggran dizement or conquest. Neither has there been the least cause, throughout the whole warfare, of incut ring any risk of the Evropean equilibrium by calling its the aid of a Russian army. Oa this ground especially Ministers may fairly take credit for not having disturbed the peace of Europe, by attempting an object with which they were not prepared to grapple. But it would seem, from recent speeches, that it was improper as a matter of foreign policy to have undertaken the resteliviou of the independence of the Turkish empire at all. According to Mr. Grote and Mr. Hume, the settlement of the Eastern question, or, in other words, the preventing of Constantinople and the trident of the sea from passing into 'new hands, was not an objsct of such importance to England as the aid and alliance of France. The plain fact is, that if the Four Powers had not interfered in the affairs of Turkey, Russia would have interfered of her own accord, and I . :ar selfish purposes, and that the former, instead of being, t:s she now is, a main element in the balance of European Powers, would have been prostrate at the feet of the latter. Whether this was, or was not, a desirable object—whether prevention was not batter than cure—and whether the Ministry is not entitled to the gratitude, not only of England, but of all Europe, for having prevented war, and sown the seeds of peace, and of the civilisation and peace which naturally spring out of it—we leave our readers, Tory, Whig, and Radical, to judge." FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY.) (From the Globe.) We hope the ulterior and undesigned effect of Lord Stanley's Registration scheme, one-sidsd and party-co loured as it glaringly is, will be to fix the attention of Parliament and the public on the whole system— not as regards Ireland only, but England and Scotland also. In the latter division of the umpire there arc anomalies full as great, and some of which were alluded to by Lord Stanley himself, on Tuesday, as any which can be adduced as prevailing in the sister isle. And even in this part of the empire, which Mr. O'Connell describes as enjoying a system he would accept for Ireland, "as it is, whether for good or for bad"—there arc quite enough defects to render an equal amount of legislation requisite as that wherewith Lord Stanley is ready to bless Ireland. Indeed more— for, in Great Britain as in Ireland, the franchise re quires to be rendered more simple, and easily ascer tainable, as well as the registration efficient. Neither object can be attained fully without the other ; for we assume as part of the purpose entertained by the legislator, the removal of obstruction and annoyare e from parties entitled to the franchise—the saving of ex pense, and the prevention of litigation—and the drying up of the various sources of fraud and corruption which prevail at present—as well as Lord Stanley's one object, of keeping out unqualified claimants. That is a legit mete object doubtless, pursued honestly—but it is rather un fortunate Lord Stanley's party should aim at it only as re gards Ireland—only as ; egards censtitueecies which they are anxious to weed of opponents. Their former efforts have mainly gone to swamp the more solid constituency with masses of drunkenness and depen dence, unqualified fur all public duties, except those preached at taverns, and paid for by candidates' hard cash. Who but the Tories retained sottish vena lity and senile dependence as essential elements of a system which should represent the true public voice ? Whom but the Tories have we to thank for the freemen and tenants-at-will ? (we beg pardon—we have also to thank some ill judging Liberals.) Who hut the Tories chiefly profit by those practices noticed by Lord Stan ley, in Scotland, of multiplying fraudulent votes — where, the Noble Lord said, " parties are on the regis ter without a foot of land in the country—who, as all the world knew, never had a foot of land in the coun try ?" It, may be too much for Lord Stanley, in his zeal for purging the representation, to aid us to get rid of fictitious freeholders, and degraded freemen. But is it too much to ask Liberal and rational politicians to look comprehensively at the whole system, and not con fine their views to one corner of it ? Shall it be said that party zeal can crowd the benches of Opposition to pull the mote out of thei- brothel's eye, while a " House" cannot be made to pull the beam out of our corn eye ? Truly the children of this world (Toryism) arc wiser in their generation than the children of light. (From the Standard.) The Globe of last night commences an article on the Canterbury and Walsall elections, with the following paragraph : " The Canterbury and Welsall elections have resulted in the defeat of the Liberal candidates. We will not affect indifference when we feel regret. We do sincerely regret the issue: although, with a knowledge of the power ful influences brought to bear against the Liberal candi date at Canterbury, and of the unfavourable circumstances under which the Liberal candidate at Walsall was intro duced to the field, we are not disappointed." Then follows a long dissertation to prove that it was the influence of Canterbury Cathedral which returned Mr. Smythe ; but as there is no cathedral at Walsall, not one word is given to explain the defeat of the Anti-Corn-lew Leaguers in that town. Surely it was not Canterbury Cathedral that returned Mr. Gladstone. Su far from doubting that the clergy of Can terbury have indirectly contributed to the restoration of the public mind in the capital of Kent, we rejoice to believe in the direct influence of the clergy everywhere in bringing back the public mind to what Lord Clarendon calls " the ancient good humour and good temper of the English people." By their lives and their doctrines such a body as the clergy of England must engage the aff.ictions of any right hearted people ; and we have no doubt that the hostility against the clergy avowed by Whigs and Whig-Radicals has gone farther in crowding ti.e Conservative ranks than any other cause. Tnat the clergy of Canterbury, however, have exercised no more direct influence than that naturally arising from their fidelity in doctrine, their benevolence, and the blame lessness of their lives, is pretty clear from the fact, that no specific charge of interference is made against any clergyman, but the other fact, that until men had recovered from the reform passion, which prevented their seeing enemies from friends, the electors of Canterbury returned a Rsdical, and the citizens have now the enduring affliction of a R a di ca l Corporation incurred during the same fit of folly. And again, we ask a light from Walsall: there was no cathedral there : why may not the same causes which returned Mr. Gladstone have returned Mr. Smythe also ? There is no escape for the Liberals as to the two cases. They must confess that the tide has turned, and that it is making rapidly on the Conservative side. (From the Courier.) The certainty that the death-blow of registration frauds and perjury in Ireland is to be struck this Ses sion will be understood, and cannot be better under stood, than by the despairing cries and ferocious appeals of the faction which rankly vegetates only from day to day upon nourishment derived from the pestiferous atmosphere of that hot-bed of cor ruption. We need no other proof, indeed, that the last hopes of faction and O'Connell repose on re gistration fraud and perjury, than the ravings of the Chrenic/c this morning, which does not pretend to deny the wide-spread existence of these enormous evils, though they are softened down in its columns into the more courtier-like phraseology of the " existing defects of the law of registry," but will not tolerate their attempted eradication by any other hands than those of Lord John Russell and Lord Morpeth, which is just the same thing as to say that the criminal shall only be tried and sentenced by those f who are profiting by the crime. Upon the argument o f what is somewhat facetiously still den ominated the Re form party, that Lord John Fussell, as the parent of t i a 0 Reform Dill for England, was best entitled and 1 V ~ ___ ought preferentially to be trusted to work out his own measure, so it might be thought that Lord Stanley, as the author and propounder of the Irish Reform bill, and the detector of the frauds engrafted on the re gistry system as it now stands, should be the man of all others best qualified to complete his own labours, and drive home to the very vitals of corrup tion the wedge first introduced into the dry rot timbers by himself. This is the just ani common-sense interpretation of Lord Stanley's principles, and there fore of Lord Stanley's Bill, but therefore it is not that of the Chronicle, by which we are told that in their crusade against his Reform Registration Bill, and in the counter proposed Bill of their own for eluding the Refo2m, " Lc rd John Russell, or Lord Alorpeth, is to be cheered and supported," whilst virtually Lord Stanley is to be hissed and hunted down. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS (WEDNESDAY EVENING.) TIM E S.—By the letters from Manchester it appears that the last advises from New York have had some in fluence in checking the rising activity in the power-loom gooes market. All descriptions of goods which were par ticularly adapted to the consumption of the United States have become nearly unmarketable, and some orders given out on contract a short time back ha►e been counter manded. For Turkey and Greece, which are chiefly sup plied with hand-loom goods, the demand was fully kept up. The complaints of a scarcity of money seem to have ceased, and to insure the full development of that pros perous trade, of which the indications have been so mani fest for some time past, nothing appears to be wanting but a steady wel.regulated currency, so that merchants might preceed with their operations without fear of being under mined by some of the " stringent" operations, which few are able to discern before they actually take place, of the Bank of England. If such a state of things could be es tablished, the temporary cessation of the demand from any one quarter could hardly be referred to, as it has been in the present accounts, as an event of any importance. A large parcel (about 40,0091.) of Consols for money wee sold by the Government broker in the course of the day, which, by enhancing the value of money, depressed the market. The sale is said to have been out of the Savings'-bank Stock, but for the purposes of the Govern ment. POST.—The at'empt made to-day to put the kiln dried tea, forming the cargo of the Westminster, sunk off Margate, up to auction, was resisted by the trade. The attendance was numerous, and the conduct of Govern ment in authorising the sale of a damaged article of this description, was commented upon by several gentlemen in a manner that was by no means complimentary t., them. trade were very properly determined not to allow the damaged commodity to find its way among the retailers, and the intended imposition upon the consumer was reluc tantly abandoned amidst a storm of vociferation expressive of the feeling of the dealers. The auctioneer was interrogated as to the arrangement entered into between the consignees, or importing houses, and Government, respecting the duty to be paid on this cargo. Ile was, however, not prepared to give any infor mation upon the point. II E l ALD.-_The Funds declined again from the slight rally of yesterday, els' Consols closed at 891 for Money, and 89.

Money Consols on Savings', banks account by the Government broker, The amount is entirely insignificant, for it is no more than what a broker in moderate business might be called upon to do in ordinary times, but the operation is otherwise significant. him been observed cn various oc casions of late, and since it was well understood the Treasury was pressed for means extra of the supply Bills voted last Session, that the Savings'-bank Fund has been made free with by sales on Government account, and it is gathered from these indications as probable that, rather this resort to a lean to cover the large deficit which must exist betwixt revenue and expenditure, the T r eas u ry p e opl e are man ce:wring to raise the wind gradually by making free with the funds of the Savings'-banks. The deficiency daily growing and pressing upon the Exchequer as the claims pour in, not of the present year alone but of past year , , night have been met by the issue of that class of Exch:,- quer Bills, notoriously enough known as " Deficiency Bills," but the fact is that the Exchequer 13iIl market has long been in too weak a condition, vibrating as it is and has been between a small premium and abso lute discount, to admit of such an operation. There. fore it is that the Savings'-banks, which should be a fund never broken in upon, or if at all only when some poiitire advantage is found to accrue both to the Government and to the management of those institutions, is resorted to in moments of pressure by financiers like those of the present time, whose greatest anxiety and gra tification it is to put off the day of reckoning to the most distant date possible, so that departmental estimates and budget; should not shock the " ears " economic if not " polite " of the Commons' House until the latest period practicable in the Session. Bills and balances of ac count of Canadian expenditure arising out of the insurrec tions in Lower and Upper Canada have poured in already , to the extent of 500,000/. or 600,0001., a large portion of which is to be provided for over and above the expenditure otherwise taken into more exact estimate in last year's financial rakings, and this large amount, which is believed to be a good deal below the sum total of damage of which all the bills of parcels have yet to be delivered, properly appertains in great part to, and should app7oximatively have been met and covered so far as possible by votes of e.-edit and appropriation two years ago, instead of being lewely left to find their way against the Exchequer at any time, and finally to be paid off by recourse to the usual draft upon the Bank against an issue of " Deficiency Bills." Some small portion of the bills of parcels for Syrian and Chinese, if not for East Indian, glories must by this time be making their appearance also at the Treasury, in the shape of commissariat and other drafts, but where practicable it will be an object within the usual policy of the financial people to stave off the bulk of these accounts, so as to throw them past budget delivery, its which case the present year's burden might be cased in ap pearance, but after all at the expense of the next. Alto gether it may be confidently taken for granted that finan cial affairs are in no very enviable position, and that the Chancellor of the Exchequer would not be greatly can cerned if the ensuing Easter holidays, previous to the awful moment of budget delivery, could be indefinitely pro longed to something nearer the epoch known as the Greek Kalends. TIIE COLLIERS' TURN-OUT.—On Friday last, Jan. 29, there was a meeting of turn-out colliers, which was numerously attended and lasted nearly the whole day, at Little Ilulton, near this borough. Various were the opinions put forth by those who ventured to ex press any on the occasion; the majority, however, were not inclined to continue the turn-out, but were unwilling to re sume work at the ter ms agreed to by the employers in the first instance, namely, an advance of 10d. on the load of three tons. On Saturday, many of them began to pre pare their tools; they visited their former employers, and the result wt.s, nearly all the men in that quar ter resumed work on Monday morn.ng. The pits be longing to W. Helton, Esq., at Farnsworth, arc still stopped. When the men asked, and turned cut for the second advance, Mr. Hulton ordered the ropes, tubs, baskets, &c., to be removed, and declared that the pits should stand idle a long time before he would give the price demanded. The men arc, it is stated, desirous of returning to work at those pits also, and it is likely that their wish will be complied with. Numbers of unem ployed hands from other departments have made applica tion to be taken as miners ; and the fear of being entirely thrown out of the labour market must have contributed materially to bring the general turn-out to a close. We hope, especially as the weather is again becoming severe and inclement, that in our next paper we shall be enabled to say the turn-out is entirely at an end. —Bolton Fre Press. The correspondent of a Morning Paper gives the following additional particulars from Manchester on Tuesday:—At Wigan the turn out has assumed a more serious aspect. Some of the ropes attached to the pits have been cuf, and some of the trains on the local railways about the pits have been displaced, but happily, I am informed, without producing any serious consequences ; for, as those expedients have been practised before, every caution has been observed for the detection of their repetition. Such is the vigilance now practised at the pits in this neighbourhood, that the ropes are tested by a double weight before the men are allowed to descend to the pits. A gentleman connected with one of the Wigan collieries has just informed me that about 700 men have marched in the direction of St. Helen's, to cause a turn out of the colliers in that district. At Wigan the united colliers seem both formidable and determined, but the masters arc not less so. A meeting of the latter took place a few days ago, when each came to the meet ing provided with a statement of the quantity of coal then got and lying in store. Upon a general calcula tion it was found that amongst the various masters there was a ready supply of 600,000 tons—a quan tum adequate to three months' consumption. It was also arranged that a mutual compact should be entered into by the masters, and that those most pressed fur the fulfilment of their contracts should be supplied at the old prices by others possessing a surplus quantity. Among ethers, Lord 13alcarres has offered 60,000 tons to ince. such contingen cies. As a matter of precaution, his Lordship has or dered the pit machinery of all his colliers to be strip pcd of the roping. For the safety and convenicncu of Manchester the gas directors have, I am informed, pur chased from Lord Francis Egerton his whole stock of cannel, so that, should we be deprived of fuel for fire, we shall at all events be favoured with ru mour has this day been very general in Alaneleles, in well-informed and has gained credence even a common that the turn-out of the colliers is the result of sters.

This case, which w:ls part-heard on Tuesday, came before their Lordships upon appeal from the decision of the L. rd Chancellor of Ireland, dismissing a bill for the specific performance of an agreemcnt to make a lease to the de fendant.

Lord DENMAN gave judgment in this case, which was an action of debt to recover certain market tolls and stall age, claimed by the plaintiff as proprietor of a market in the town of Easing:vold. The declaration alleged that the plaintiff was proprietor of the market in question, and was entitled to claim tolls and stallage ; that the defendant brought certain goods into the market, and exposed them for :ale. The defendant p:eaded that ho was never in deb'ed. The case was tried before Mr. Justice Parke at the Yorkshire Assizes, and a verdict was for the plain tiff, damages Is., as far as related to the stallage. For the plaintiff a charter was produced, granted to one Hall in the time of Charles I , suet which conferred upon him the tolls and profits of the market, and witnesses proved that the plaintiff, to whom the market at present be longed, was in the receipt of market tolls and stallage. In 1646 en agreement was entered into between certain inhabitants of Easingweld and Hull, by which in consideration of certain land and houses, granted to Hull, the inhabitants were to be exempted from all charge for tolls. Mr. Justice Parke was of opinion that that deed did not exempt the inhabitants from the charge for stallage, and the question for the Court now was whether the ex emption claimed by the defendant from the ordinary mar ket tolls extended to an exemption from stallage. After going at some length through the authorities bearing upon the case, the Learned Judge said the Court was of opinion that no ground had been shown for entering a verdict for the defendant, but as there was some question as to whether the defendant came within the designation of en inhabitaly of E isingwold, and was thereby entitled t o exemp:ion from tolls, there oui_:ht to be a new trial.

This was an action to recover a sum of 4 . 601. 183 , being the arrears of calls upon fifty shares, with interest, which the defendant held in. the above Railway Company, and which he had refused to pay. The ease was tried befurc Chief Justice Tindal at the Essex Summer Ais:xell, in the year 1839, and a verdict was had for the plain tiffs fur the sum claimed. A rule for a nonsuit or a new trial was subsequently obtained, en the ground that the regitry book had not been kept accord ing to the Act of Parliament (6th William IV.), and had been improperly admitted in evidence ; and also on the grcund that a sufficient number of duly qualified Directors were not present, or did not vote in favour of the motion at the time the calls were made. Mr. THESIGER now appeared to thow cause against the rule, and contended that, although some objection might be taken to the original book, yet the book containing the register of shares, and which was in existence at the time these calls were m Wa3 kept according to the form prescribed by the Act of Parliament, With regard to a sufficient number of qualified Directors not being present, the evidence was that fiver constituted a quorum—that there were never less than eight present ; arid although sonic of these Directors held shares in trust for other parties, on which the calls were not 'mid up, the calls being made unanimously there was a sufficient qualified number assenting. Mr. PLATT and Mr. PaacocK were heard in support of be rule. The COURT took time to consider its decision. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, FER. 4.

The plaintiff's in this case are timber merchants, and bring this action of assumpsit against the defendant for materials furnished by them for the building of certain houses upon his property, in the neighbourhed of Kennington. The defence was that the timber was sup_ plied upon the credit cf the builder who contracted for the work, and who had received the full amount of his con tract, but had become insclvent without paying the plain tiffs. 'rhe case was tried before in this Court, when we reported the particulars at length. The present is a new ti ial.

(Before Mr. Justice NVE,LIAMS and Mr. Justice COLTMAN.) ALary Ann Hoskins, a widow, aged thirty-nine, was in dicted for the wilful murder of her illegitimate child at Greenwich on the Ist of January last. Mr. Ballantine app , Bred for the prisoner, and Mr. HApinasse for the prosecution. Some of the particulars of the case, wh i ch possessed little interest, have already appeared. The following is the evidence of one of the surgeons who examined the body :—Mr. Cooper said—l ass a surgeon at Greenwich. I assisted in examining the child. Before I arrived Mr. Keble had examined its chest. He drew my attention to the neck of the child. On the back of the gullet there was clotted blood, and in the gullet itself. NVe found the lungs also very much gorged with blood. The appearances were such as might be expected to pro ceed from suffocation. In my judgment, from the appear ance of the lungs and the mark on the neck, some pr es sure must have been made on that part, which led to suffocation. I think there must have been a pressure on the neck over the windpipe. The marks 1 have de scribed might, it is possible, have been produced by vio lence inflicted immediately after death. By a Juror—Death from pressure, such as I suppose, would have been instantaneous. The pressure might have been made by the mother while in the act of being delivered as well as at any other time. I im agine that the pressure which would have pro duced the marks would have led to instantaneous death. The mere exposure of the child might have produced in it a state of exhaustion. I merely give it as I my opinion that life would not remain after such violence as I suppose had taken place.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET. George Harrison, a fashionably-dressed young man, who has been for a long while well known to the police as one of the swell mob, was placed at the bar before Mr. Long, the presiding Magistrate, on a charge of felony. Mr. Dubelicu, a gentleman residing at 18, Bury-street, St. James's, stated that be was on Wednesday at Madame Dulchan's Concert, at the Hanover-square Concert-rooms, and noticed that the prisoner was close behind him. In a short time after this he missed his pocket-book, which contained 91. 10s. in gold, and a foreign bill of exchange for a large amount from his coat pockets. He directly made inquiry of the persons around him if they had seen him drop anything, and was informed that the prisoner bad but a few seconds previously hastily quitted the room. He was pursued and brought back by the police, and in the passage witness saw hi s p oc k et -b oo k, with the contents in it, fall at the prisoner's feet. Police constable N 0.36 of the A Division, stated that on bringing the prisoner back he distinctly saw him drop the pocket-book. 'file prisoner made no defence, and waa fully committed for trial.
