EVENING I4`,DITION TRIAL AND CONVICTION FOR MURDER IN NEW BRUNSWICK. The trial of Peter Robinson, charged . with the murder of Mr. Suydam, the Pre sident of the Farmers' and Me chanics' Bank of New Brunswick, which continued seven teas, having occasioned considerable excitement, we ex -Iract from a New York paper the account of the last day's proceedings, when the murderer was found guilty, and sentenced to suffer death. The particulars of the murder will be found in the judgment : This morning the minds of every person here seemed relieved from a great load. Robinson was convicted, and was to die, and they were satisfied ; and bad the Jury ac quitted him last night, beyond a doubt, the people here would have hung him on the nearest tree to the Court house. I never saw or heard of such a state of excite ment and indignation as this whole community has been thrown into by this affair; and many persons wanted to have Robinson hung this afternoon, saying. " There has been too much money spent on the d—d scoundrel." And yet the people cf New Brunswick are tolerably moral as times go. But the ladies in particular all V% id:el to have Peter hung. Mr. Graham's speech was a brilliant one, and at the close of it the audience burst out into loud tokens of ap probation and applause. Chief Justice Hornblower re buked them, and said, " stop this noise; if people want to evince anything cf this nature they had beaur go to a theatre, and not to a court of justice. This occasion is a most solemn one ; and this is the first time I ever saw any such feeling cxhibi'ed in the State of New Jersey during 40 years' practice ; and it is highly disgraceful to the county of Middlesex," At half-past eleven this morning the Court was opened ; the crowd was tremendous, and there were a large number of ladies present, as before. The prisoner appeared very pale, but apparently unmoved ; alehough his lips were parched and a death-like palor overspread his countenance. Solemn silence was obtained, and the Chief Justice said, " Peter Robinson." The prisoner stood up. " You stand before this Court convicted by the verdict of the jury of the murder of Abraham Suydam, in the first de gree. Have you aught to ray other than what, by your self and by your counee', you have already said, why the Court should not proceed to pronounce judgment upon you?" Prisoner— I have nothing to say.—( Here his lips quivered.) Juana—Peter Robinson, alter a full, fair, and impar tial trial with a Jury selected by yourself out of a large number of your fellow-citizens, and by the aid of efficient, honourable, and able counsel, aho have left nothing un said or uncloae in your behalf which became them, or which honeusable men ought to have said and done in your behalf, you have been convicted of the wilful, foul, malicious, di libei we, and premeditited murder of Abra ham Suydam, by vrhieli conviction you ate doomed to stair the awful punishment of death. [Here several of the ladies began to cry, but the pri soner was unmoved.] Jurce—Ms. Suydam was your neighbour, your fellow. citizen, and for aught that we know, or that has ap peared to the Court on the trial, he was your benefac tor. He had conveyed to you a lot of land ; be had ad vanced you money to build a comfortable dwelling thereon, for yourself and your family. In consequence of what he had advanced to you, and for the security of the proper payment to him of his money, you sad fur nished him with a bond and mortgage on that pro perty. With these securities on his person, and in his possession, on the morning of the ad of December, and, as we hate reason to fear, in pursuance of a previous arrangement made by you with him, he left his home and the bosom of his family, and entered your house, never to return to that home and that family alive. It is evident that but a few minutes el ipsed after he entered your house, before you cruelly murdered him, and then robbed your victim of his money, has watch, and the papers which he had about his person ; and there, at the bloody scene of his murder, you dug the unhallowed grave; and within the walls of that building, erected by his money, you sought to conceal his mangled corpse. Mr. Suydam was a husband and a father, as well as yourself; to him life was as dear, and perhaps dearer, than it was to you; and his death was as little expected by him at that awful moment when you killed him, as it was by you. But, unmindful of those dear and blessed ties which bound him to his home, to his wife and his children—unmindful of the ties which equally bound you a n d hi m to soc i ety—unm i n df ul o f the rela tions in which he stood as your neighbour, your friend, and benefactor_unmindful of that tribunal before which you were about to send your victim, and before which you would have to appear—unmindful of the vengeance of a just and holy God—forgetting that his eye was upon you men, and would be upon you through time and through rte.. nity, you committed this cold-blooded mur der. We do not design to dwell upon the details of this awful tragedy—its Weedy history has been listened to by, and is painful to us all. Nothing now remains but to pronounce the sentence of the ltw ; and we only pause, Peter Robinson, to warn you against the delusion of in dulging any hope that you can by possibility escape the vengeance of that law. If chains, if bolts and bars, and human ingenuity and watchfulness can prevent it, you can never escape from the custody of the law but by death. And we warn you against the slightest hope that execu tive interference wilt be extended in your behalf. The outraged majesty of the law demands your life, and no thing else will satisfy it. We only, therefore, as your fellow-men, and with the sympathy due to you as a fellow-et eature, here pause to commend you to Him whose blood alone can wash out the guilt which rests upon your never-dying soul. Your blood falling upon the ground cannot restore the life of him whom you mur dered, nor prepare him for that eternity into which you sent him without a warning. But, unlike his sad close of life, some time is allowed you to prepare for that awful change which you have shortly to undergo. We commend you to God. We commend you .to that Saviour of men through whose mediation alone you can hope for forgiveness tiereaft, r. You cannot intend to assume an idle indifErence to your fate, to the solemn death you have so aeon to undergo, or to the scenes of eternal life that you have to pass through. You may aff.ut an indifference to all this; you may reject the' Bible and the Ministers of Christ, and those consola tions which they may seek to offer you. But God knows your heart. You may deceive men ; you may die as the fool dieth ; but that is the most that you can do. You cannot deceive God ; hie eye is upon you, as it was et that moment when you struck the fatal blow—as it has been ever since—and as it will be until the moment when the breath ceases to ani mate your body—and it will follow you to another world ; and his wrath will rage against you through the unwasting ages of eternity, if his justice is not satisfied by the atoning blood of his Redeeming Son. Hear, now, the sentence of the law—lt is considered by the Court, that you be takea to the gaol from whence you came, ald that within that gaol, or some place else which th S ,eriff in his discretion shall decide upon, according to law, on Friday, the 16th day of April (yesterday), be tween the hours of ten in the morning and two in the afternoon, you be hung by the neck until you arc dear', and may God have mercy on your soul." Here there was scarcely a dry eft in tha Court. The ladies sobbed audibly, and all acre deeply affected. The prisoner appeared t 3 I e the only person present that was unmoved. His eye never quailed, his lips scarcely parted, and not aucm r no.tc:e moved in his fentu,e2. The Judge himsel! w a s e vil ent ly completely overcome. an a few moments he said, " Let the prisoner be removed from the ban" COURT OF SEWERS FOR WEST MINSTER AND PART OF MIDDLESEX. A Court of Sewers for the City and Liberties o!' West minster, and part of the county of Middlesex, was yester day held at the Commissioners' Offises,Greek-street, Soho. Thomas Leverten Donaldson, Esq. in the chair. The minutes of the proccedirgs of the Courts held on the 2d and 6th instant having been read and confirmed, Mr, LESLIE asked why the report of the Solicitors as to the opinion of Sir W. Horne and Sir John Campbell, taken in 1833, had not been printed and circulated among the Commissioners, according to the order of the last Court. The CLERK said that in consequence of the interven tion of the Easter hclidays they could not get the printers to work. On the motion of the CHAIRMAN a Special Court was ordered to be hell on Friday next, to examine candidates for the office of collector. He thought, also, that the rate of poundage might he lowered to sixpence for t'se nearer districts, end should, therefore, give notice that on that occasion he should bring forward a motion to that effect. ' The Collectors then nria , .'.e their usual reports of cash received and paid to the Treasurer, and of the preceedings taken on ea-rants and summonses. The CLERK reported on the state of the Collector's se counr, and on the money in the hands of the Treasurer. Vari o us payments were ordered to be made. The Cower having disposed of a great deal of rsutine business, proceeded to the next business, which ear to sign a warrant ( f distress against tie Churchwareeas for the Church of St. Mai tip-in-the-fi, Ids, ordered at the last Court to be prepared by the solicitors. Toe CLERK re a I a report from the Solicitors, stating that they had settled the warrant with Mr. FL gOns, the counsel, who had written cerain remarks fur the Information of the Court. Mr. LESLIE had understood that the question was finally settled at the last Court-day, and that no further discus sion was to take place upon i'. Now Mr. Smith had taken upon himself to consult counsel on the subject, and he had written certain remarks which were now to be read, and might, perchance, give rise to discussion. Mr. A'IdECKETT said that Mr. Smith was certainly right in consul ing counsel on such a case as this. The CHAIRMAN said that the order of the Court authoe riscd the Solicitor to consult counsel. The CLERK then read the opinion of Mr. Hoggins who stated that he ha.l drawn up the wairart to the best cf his ability, but that he could not adsise the Commis sieners to place a distress in the churches, and that if they were beat in a Couit of law on the question they would be personal s liable for the costs. The question which would be raised before a Court of law would be as to whether the occupier on the land was liable, but he doubted whether is point of law the Churchwardens could be considered as occupiers of the church. The warrant was then read. Mr. T. DYER moved that the opinion of Mr. Higgins be printed and circulated among the . Commissioners, which was agreed to. Mr. J. Wines. said the case of Ambassador; appeared appeared to be perfectly analogous to the present case. The houses of Ambassadors had always been assessed, and there had been no means of enforcing the assessment. He therefore asked what was the situation in which they were with regard to the houses:of Ambassadors. The CLERK was not aware of any Ambassadors' houses being exempt from iates at the present moment. Mr. J. WRITE thought the Jury were correct in bringing the churches before the Court. He would sign the war rant notwithstanding the opinion of Mr. Hoggins, so strongly was he convinced that these churches were liable. The CHAIRMAN would place the warrant upon the table, and those who wished to sign it might do so. Captain BAGUE understood the Chairman had pledged himself the warrant would be signed. The CHAIRMAN had not done so: he had only said that he supposed the nine gentlemen who had voted for the amendment would sign the warrant, and be had caused them to be written to. Mr. BRANSCOMBE, as one of the nine, would not sign it after Mr. Hoggins' opinion. Mr. T. DYER thought the warrant should be tendered to each of the rise. Mr. lbsocit was not one of the nine, but be protested against the adoption of so personal a course ; after the opinion of Mr. Hogging ho should not sign it ; but he was still convinced that churches were liable, and thought they ought to go to the Legislature to obtain the power of doing their duty. Sir G. FARRANT would sign the warrant if it were a perfectly legal one ; but, dOubtiag that, he would not thrust his hand into the fire. He would move that the solicitors be directed to draw up a statement, stating the difficulties in the r: ay of enforcing the sewers'-rates against churches, and that the Chairman be requested to lay the same before Lord Normanbv. and to apply for the intro duction of a clause into the New Drainage Bill, giving the Commissioners powers to enforce the rate. Mr. T. DYER thought that motion could not be brought forward without notice. The CHAIRMAN agreed with Mr. Thistleton Dyer, and Sir George Farrant gave notice accordingly The CLERK repo:ted that two Commissioners only had signed the warrant. Mr. LESLIE wished to know whether they intended to repeal the order of the last Court, which was, that the warrant should be signed. There was to be no further discussion on the subject, and yet they were now going into it. If they could not get any Commissioner to sign it that was another matter. S'r J. S. LILLIE thought that Sir George Farrant's motion might be entertained without notice. For himself he was as ready to sign it as he had been the other day, but his signing alone would not do, there must be five others. He thought they were at liberty then to entertain any motion likely to get them out of their difficulty. Ho was not to be induced by the fear of a white sheet to show a white feather. He supported Sir George Farrant's resolution, and could see no benefit from the postponement. Mr. LESLIE said that: according to Mr. Hoggins' opi nion the signing the warrant would try the question as no whether the property or the person were chargeable. Why that was the very question they wanted to try, and those who were of opinion that the property was liable ought to sign the warrant. Captain BAGUE rose to order. There was no question before the Court. The CHAIRMAN said the motion of Sir George Farrant had been seconded by Mr. J. White. It was contrary to practice to have such a motion put without notice; but it would be for the Court to decide whether, under the emergency of the case, the motion might not be discussed without notice. I Sir J. S. LILLIE would move that the resolution of the last Court, as to signing the warrant, and the opinion of Mr. Hoggins, should be laid before Lord Normanby. Mr. Bouvitilla said that it could not be expected that the Secretary of State would take up the cudgels in fa vour of the crude notions of the Ccurt. They were, in his opinion, only putting money into the pockets of lawyers without any benefit to the public, and he thought no Secretary of State would, or ought, to give the Com missioners additional powers. Mr. T. DYER should oppose both motions, for the rea sons given by Mr. Bouveit. They had agreed to give time to certain parishes to consider the question; now they were attempting by a side-trind to legislate upon the sub ject. No Home Secretary could introduce a clause affect ing matters already the subject of litigation. He hoped the Court would allow the question to be put at rest, apd that it would never be put into the power of the Chairman to say that there were nine gentlemen who had refused to sign the warrant after voting for its bring issued. He could not sign it, because he believed that their proceed ings had been from beginning to end illegal. There had been some proceedings in regard to the Palaces ; he should like to know the position in which they stood in reference to those proceeding', as that might thr.,w some light on the subject. Ile should like to khow also what steps had bee" adopted with r.•gird to the other par.hes. He should like to know ehether the other parishes had agrcci to abide by the decision in the St. Martin's care. Tina CHAIRMAN Stli I that at the la-.t Court ;t had been understood that the case of St. Martin's Church should be the test, and that pro: endings in the other cases should he suspended until after the case of St. Martin's should he decided. Mr. SMITH said that he haol been yesterday to the Crown.otlice to know if it was possible to urge on the case of Kensington Palace, but he had been informed that there were no means of urging on the Crown. They had pl. aded to the criminal information last term as eirly as they cool'', and the Crown had not since taken any further sterr. T. DYER asked whether it had not been agreed to drop 'hese proccedinge, and to turn the whole into a special case? Mr. Sstia n said that a proposition to that effect had been made to Mr. Pemberton evil's had agreed to lay Ihcapnreovreerstodn b b e e e f ti ore Lc ti t izev to o t tii ie ee c r o s rn o ni f u t t h i i e ca C ti r o t n m . n, but ii.ol3oEltli OF M AIL BAGS.—Some excite. ed recnt prevailed d ur i ng l is t wee k a t S.

Were they to go cbllectiog 20 00Ci. without sonic sort of esia.ive as to what wai to be done with it ? They had 10,0001. in hand at the time the rate bad been ordered a twelvemonth rg Mr. T. DYER said it was perfectly absurd to contend that it should take thirteenth months to make a rate. lie would undertake to g. t the rate. books in the different pe rishes copied in a fortnight. When had these books been sent by the parishes? The CLERK said some of them did not send in their books until three months after the order. Mr. T. DYER thought it was right the public should know that the rate was made in April 1841, upon the rate of June 1840, so that V:ere must be a great deal of rate able property which did not appear at all. In justice to the public, they ought to obtain the rate-books of 1841, be fore subinittirg the question to the Jury. Mr. UN WIN said that would apply only tl a small portion cf the rnte. Mr. LESLIE thought it applied to all the rate. flow could they say they were tiacing any existing pool-rate in the hands of the Jury ? They had no rigl.t to collect a rate sufficient to last f4r two years. The nrovr eJurie would be to suspend furtli,r proceedings until the various ques tions now at issue should be decided. Ile hoped that artcr what had Leen elic i ted by the lion. Magistrate, they had brt•er pause, until they could see some way out of the subject. Sir. J. Wnitre had always understood the property, and not the porsoe, was to be rated to the Severs-r,tte. The only question agi:ated by him was, that they ?lionld leave out nothing, no properzy whatever. The re,-son was merely an indication of the property. With rega-d to the rate, i; was a constant practice to make a rite last as long as it c Add last. It was the land and not the tenant that was assessed, and the efure the injustice of making the rate upon the poor-rate of 1810 did not exist. Ile could see no reason why the precept should not be signed, but he thought it had Leen postponed too long. Mr. BouvEnts wished to kr:ow whether the churches were included in the property to be submitted to the Jury. The CLERK said they were. Mr. T. DYER should draw the attention of the Jury to the f .ct that the presentment was based upon the rate of 1840. lie thought they ought to gr,t the rate-bark of 1841, and alter the presentment, and if additional assist ance were necessary, they ought to hare it. Ile put it to the solicitor whether he wool! advise the Court to make the presentment upon the old rate? Mr. SMITH thought if the new rate-books were ready, it would be unwise to proceed upon tile cld ones. M. W. WHITE and Mr. UNWIN both said that in their respective parishes the new rate-book was not male out. Mr. FULLER thought it odd they should make a new rai.e when they had that day refused to carry cm their old decree. He could not understand such conduct. He thought persons, not property were assessable. lie would be no patty to signing that precept. Mr, LESLIE contended the precept was not in confor mity with the statute of Henry VIII. The CHAIRMAN rose to order, Mr. Leslie had already spcken._ Mr. BEACH thought the precept ought to be signed at once. The land alone was liable. The person occupying was merely named for the more perfect identification of the land. The CHAIRMAN said, that unless the precept wei e signed, they would be thrown back inextri-ably ; all the circum stances and opinions relating to churches would be laid before the jury and he thought they would find it improper, if not illegal, to include churches in the rate. He trusted the precept would be signed for the jury to meet on the 30th April. _ _ Mr. T. DYER moved that the Court do now aljourn Mr. UNwilv seconded it. On the show of hands, there were for the adjournment, 4, against it 6. On the question of signing the precept, there appeared for signing it 7, against it 3; majority far signing the precept 4. Mr. T. DYER gave notice that he should ask, in the presence of the jury, if the Vestry Clerks were in attend ance ? and, if not, he should tell the jury they were making a presentment upon the rate of 1810. He would also give notice that at the next meeting he should move— Mr. Beach here walked out of Court, and The CITAIRNIAN observed there were only five Commis sioners present, and, therefore, they no longer constituted a Court The Court was then counted out at a Quarter to Five o'Clock. THE BANK DIRECTORS AND CLERKS. The Court of Directors of Bank of England, on the Bth inst., passed some resolutions to establish a guarantee fund for the clerks of that establishment in lieu of finding securities. According to these resolutions, each clerk in the service of the B an k i s , on or b e f ore t h e st h o f next July, to pay 2s. per cent. on the amount of security re quired under the existing system, and is to pay a like amount on every ensuing sth of April until five payments have been made. The sums raised by these contributions arc to be invested in Consols or Three per Cent. Reduced, and to stand in the name) of the Governor and Deputy Governor under the title of " The Guarantee Fund for the Clerks of the Bank of England," until, with the in vestments of the interest, the fund shall amount to. 6,000/. stock. This fund is to be held for the pur pose of making good any losses by the acts or defaults of the clerks, and the resolution of the Court of Directors is to be till authority for the sale of so much stock as they shall specify, the demand being, how ever, limited to the actual sum for which the clerks will have been required to give security. The Directors may, upon their own terms, admit a clerk again to become a subscriber to the fund, after a demand has been made upon it to meet the losses occasioned by his defaults. When the fund is reduced by claims, the interest on the remainder is to be invested until the fund shall again amount to 6,0001. stock, provided the reduction shall not Le to the extent of 1,300/. ; but if it be reduced to that amount, each subscribing clerk is on the quarte. - -day next succeeding the reduction to pay a sum not exceeding 24. per cent., and continue paying on every sth of April till the 6,000/. stock is again reinstated. Accumulations of interest, subscriptions, &c., bevond the limit of the 6,0001. are to be paid to the Clerks' Widows Fund; but the Di- rectors are at-liberty to extend the limit if they think fit. Clerks elected into the service of the Bank are at once to pay 103. per cent, on the sum for which security is required, and clerks appointed to situations, whereby a greater amount of security is required of them, are to pay in addition to. their former payments the sum of 10s. per cent., and not be subjected to further payment, except in the case of a reduction beyond,l,3oo/. As for the bonds now held on behalf of the clerks, the sureties, but not the clerks themselves, are to be considered discharged on the completion of the fifth annual payment, and the clerks may anticipate the payments, if they wish to release their securities, while clerks who have not gig en bonds already, are to give their personal bonds, which the Bank may put in suit in case of default, in order to make good a loss to the guarantee fund. In the case of minors a bond is to be given by a surety . . That the system may not he adhered to if it is not found to answer its purpo-e, the Bank re st.rves to itself the right of returning the subo..iptions, and reverting to the system at present existn, Times City Article.

Trade has been pretty good with every prospect of its con tinuing so. A CANADIAN READER COMMODO HE NAPIER. (From the Liverpool Mercury.) The Oriental steam-ship, Captain Soy, arrived in our river on Wednesday morning last, from Falmouth, having landed the mails from Egypt there on Stanley evening, and immediately proceeded to the quarantine station, where she has since been lying. A mong-t the passengers is Commodore Sir Charles Na'ier, the hero of many gallant exploits in the Peninsula, and more recently in• Syria. Is will be seen from our report .of the Coumil proceedings on Wednesday, that steps were immediately adopted on the part of the Corporation to pay due honour to the distinguished visitor, and that a Committee was appointed to prepare and present an address, and co-ope rate with the inhabitants in any manifestation of popular feeling .which may seem desirable. On the part of the inhabitants, a requisition inviting Sir Charles to a public dinner, was prepared in the course of the afternoon, which, in a few hours, received upwards of 200 signatures, comprising those of the leading merchants , bankers, & c., with out any distinction of political opinion. Yesterday morning a deputation, consisting of Thomas Bolton, Esq. (the Mayor), W. Brown, Esq., John Garnett, Esq., John Taylor, Esq., William Stewart, Esq., Jacques Myers, Esq., 'l'. C. Dunlevie, Esq., R. Woodward, Esq., and Pollock, Esq., proceeded in one of the steam-boats to the Oriental, for the purpose of pre senting the requisition, of which the following is a copy : TO COMMODORE SIR CHARLES NA PIER, K.C.8., &c. &c SIR,—We, the Mayor and the undersigned inhabitants of Liverpool, impressed with a sense of the great services rendered by you to our beloved country, and to the interests of Europe, request the honour of your company at a public dinner, on your being released from quarantine, or as early afterwards as may be convenient to you.—We have the honour to be, sir, wild profound respect, your obedient servants, THOMAS BOLTON, Mayor. (With upwards of 200 signatures.) Liverpool, 14th April, 1841. The deputation saw and conversed with the gallant Com modore, who seemed in high spirits, and very much gratified by the compliment. On ascertaining its natu.e, he exclaimed, " 0, I'll stop a day for this," and conversed for some time with the Mayor and deputation. It will be seen from the ad vertisement that a meeting of the requisitionists will be held this day at the Cotton Sales-room to make arrangements for a public dinner on a grand scale. Neither time nor place has been fixed, but we have no doubt that the demonstration will be worthy both of the visitor and the town. The hero of Sidon deserves a hearty welcome from his fellow-countrymen on his return to his native shores, and we are quite sure thrt he will receive it. It is expected that the necessary papers will be received from London this morning, in which case Sir Charles will land in the course of the day. ON COMMODORE CHARLES NAPIER.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, APRIL 16. THE QUEEN V. THE JUSTICES OF LANCASHIRE. Mr. CRESSWELL moved in this case for a rule to show cause why a writ of certiorari should not issue to bring up an order of two Justices of the County of Lancaster. His application was grounded upon the I 11th section of the Municipal Act. It appeared that the Borough Justices made an order for the removal of a pauper and an appeal was made to the County Justices, who heard and de termi ned the appeal, quash ing the former order. Now, lie apprehended that the County Justices had no jurisdiction at all, because the section distinctly provided, that the County Magistrates should have jurisdiction only in these cases where there was no separate jurisdiction in the borough. If there was any appeal, it should larve been to the Borough Justices. After referring to the section in question, the COURT granted the rule. • • COURT OF EXCHEQUER, APRIL 16. (Sittings in Banco.) ItOADKNIGHT V. GREEN. Mr. llumFnEv showed catve against a rule obtained by Mr. Watson, which called upon the Master to review his taxa tion. The Learned Gentleman said it was an action for as sault and battery, which was tried at the Warwick Assizes in 1837; when the Jury gave only Is. damages. The Learned Judge who tried the cruse refused to certify, in order to allow the petitioner to recover- his costs, and under such circum stances he, of course, had not had them taxed, nor had he thought it worth his while to sign judgment. In the mean time Lord Denman's Act was passed by the Legislature, which repealed the statutes of Charles 11. and Elizabeth referring to costs in personal actions, and they being as if they had never existed, he knew of nothing which would prevent them from now obtaining their costs. Mr. Baron PARKE—The Act repeals these Acts, and con tains no proviso for cases where judgment has riot been en- tered up. Mr. 141111FILEY—Certainly. The act wholly repealed the former statutes, and it had been often laid down that a sta tute when repealed became as if it had never existed, and as the law now stood he knew of nothinc , to prevent them from obtaining their costs. The plaintiff had not signed judg ment until the 20th of January, 1841. He was not compel led to do so before—there was no Rule of Court requiring him to do so until he pleased. The defendant might have ruled him to do so, but had neglected that, and having signed the judgment, as he was entitled to do, on the 20th of January, 1841, they must take the law as it then was. Mr. Baron PARKE—If you, succeed, this Act will prove a large bonus to all who have brought frivolous actions,—at all events during the last twenty years. Mr. HUMFREY—Certainly. No doubt neither the noble author of the Bill nor the Legislature intended to grant such a boon, but their Lordships must administ.r the law as they found it. Mr. Baron ALDERSON—If you succeed there will be a vast influx of business in the Courts. Mr. HusteitEv—Unless a Commis'ion were issued to ascer tain the number of such actions, and stop all proceedings, no thing else, he contended, could prevent the plaintiff in the present action from recovering his cost,, for the statutes which prevented him were now repealed. The Learned . Gentleman cited several cases, in order to show that the Courts had held that plaintiff had a right to sign judgment when he pleased, and that they were bound to apply the law which was in force when such judgment was signed. He trusted the rule would be discharged. Mr. WATSON supported the rule, and 'at great length en deavoured to construe the words, " Shall recover by verdict of a Jury," to mean " Recover through, or by means of a verdict." He also contended that the Act of Lord Den man did not apply to an old verdict. The verdict given in 1837 must be satisfied according to the law as it. then stood. The plaintiff was entitled to sign judgment on the first day of Banco, after the verdict of Nisi Prins, and his judgment must date from that day when Lord Denman's Act was not thought of, and he was entitled to no more costs than he would have been on that day. He further contended that the Act of Lord Denman repealed the statute in respect of all future actions, but it left all former actions under the law which was in force at the time of verdict. That was the clear intention of the framer of the Act, and the Legislature in passing it, and their Lordships would carry out such intentions by malting the Rule absolute. The Court took time to consider the case. HUGHES V. ROGERS. This was an action upon a bond for 501„ dated in 18 9 5, *high was tried at Shrewsbury I efore Justice Coleridge—ver diet far defendant. The obligor was Mrs. Rogers, and the attesting witnesses were John Regers, his son, and John Wilding, a son-hi-law. The obligor was dead, and the action was brought against v.is sons. who were the executors, and one of them was the attesting witness. At the trial Wilding, as was expected, denied his handwriting. •On the part of the plaintiff they were obliged to produce, witnesses to prove the handwriting of both the attesting witnesses, which th,y did. A son of lingers, the defendant, was called, who stated that the writing i n the bond was not his father's. Another paper was put into his :;,711d., the signature to tvhich he also denied to be his father's, altht:...,sh they were prepared and offered to prove that several persons say( him sign it ; but this evidencewas no other sugg es ti on o f etas rejected by the Judge. There was , odd that . the party the forgery, and if it were so. h. Q d t h e chances of witnesses at a guilty of the crime should have incre.. - detection by having the names of two attesting , time when one was enough. Mr. Sergeant L u ntow now moved for a rule nisi . trial on the ground of the verdict being clearly a g r a ri t e i: ; I weight of the evidence in the case.—Rule granted. THOMPSON P. GIBSON This was the last action which was tried at the Westmor land Assizes, before Mr. Justice Coltman, when a verdict was found for the plaintiff, one shilling damages. It. was a Special Jury cause, but the Judge was not asked im-. mediatoly to certify that it was a fit cause to be tried. It being the last cause, the Judge had proceeded to his lodging s at Appleby, and there he was asked to grant a certificate, which he said he would be very willing to give if he then bad the power ; he granted the certificate and re ferred the parties to the Court. The words of the Act of Parliament said "immediately after the trial." The question was, what was the meaning of the wo r d immediately? Lord Ellenborotugh and Lord Tenterden had both laA it down the Judge could not grant the certificate the day after the He submitted that if any other Act had outt pied the mind of the Judge after the trial, the power to grant the certificate wai gone. In . this . case the Judge had adjourned the Court, and gone to his lodgings.—llule granted. ELLIS V. JAYLOIt. Mr. carsswELL moved to set aside the verdict for the plaintiff in this case, which was for 361. The plaintiff sued in forma pauperis, and brought his action to reco er compensa tion for the sale 'of his goods under a distres', after a tender of the amount due, with expen'es. It appeared that a third party came after the goods had been impounded, laid down the rent due, and a further sum fir expenses, at the same time tering the bailiff that if he took a farthing more than the law allowed, he would bring an action. The July found this was a tender, but upon the cases, he contended, that it was no tender at a1!..--Rule granted.

Yesterday (Monday) was the day appointed for chairing the members, and I n.ust say I never witness:A a procession where so much good-will and order seemed to prevail, on account of the great triumph achieved by the people, in rooting out the family compact, and their pretended loyalty. But our procession did not terminate as orderly as ex pected. A regular band of Tories and Orangemen attacked the Members throwing mud, &c., the carriages, and a regular row ;hen took place ; and melancholy to say, a few got wounded, arid two men were shot dead by the Orange men. The house they fired from was regularly demolished by our party, and the band of Orangemen taken into custody. The Riot Act was then read, and the town is now in posses sion of the military. No further riots arc expected ; and I trust in a day or two we shall be quiet and peaceable' apin. The elections a-c all over : the Provinces have returned mostly Liberals. No other men living could have got over the old official party in Toronto, but the very men who carried their election, viz., Owen and Buchanan. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSIO.N-HOUSE. A mendicant of rather uncommon character, who said that his name was Jones, was brought before the Lord Mayor, charged by a gentleman of the name of Kull!, un der the following circumstances : The de fondant, who walked with a most independent air to the bar of the Justice-room, had called at Mr. Knill'a house for • charity, and the servant girl to whom he ap pealed was struck- with - commiseration, and relieved him with - a penny. Mr. Krill himself having.be - a-d the knock at the door and the voice 0r tl.e defendant, went out to secs.who the visitor was, and finding how the master was, desired that such vagabonds should not knock, 'or they should go to the station-house. The defendant's :tone of supplication thereupon suddenly changed into the fiercest abuse, and he called Mr. Knill 4' a yvagabond," and spoke of brvking the nose of another gentleman who happened to witness what took place, and expostulated on the occasion. As Mr. Knill thought such a fellow ought to pay his nest visit to t'e Lord Mayor, rt policeman was called and desired to procure an introduction 0 the Chiet Magstrate. The defendant, who had Eisen an itinerary vender cf publications, then let fly such a volley of abuse at Mr. Knill and the policeman as showed that he bad faculties far an' vo the average class of mendicants, hut he was at last canveyel to the station-house, and from thence to the presence of the Lord Mayor. The Loan MAYOR—What excuse can you make, Mr. Jones ? •Defendant—l declare to you, my Lord, that this man (pointing to Mr. Knill) has grossly misrepresented my conduct. I defy him to say that I did not address him as one gentleman would another.—(A laugh.) The LORD Maven— Why should you knock at his door for charity? You received a penny from his servant. Defendant—l did not knock at the doer. I merely asked this lady (the servant girl) for assistance pod. ely, and she attended to me, and answered me like a lady, when out comes this man (Mr. Kni!l), and says " get out you vagabond." That was language not to be endured by a respectable person, so I told him he was a vagabond, and then he called this policeman, who noel like a ruffian, and took me to the station-house. The policeman said that he beard the defendant use the most opprobrious terms in addressing the complainant, and when witness was called, away ran the beggarman, but soon to be apprehended. Defendant —This fellow (the officer) is a mere brute and liar. I never ran ; I merely retaliated, when I was insulted by that man (Mr. Knill), whose conduct was very different indeed from that of the lady who assisted me, and who has a claim b the character of humanity. The policeman.—l never heard worse languaga in my life than the defendant made use of, my Lord. He said to a gentleman who was with the complainant, " I say, do you want your nose broken, eh ?"—( A laugh.). The Loan MaYou.—Defendant—you are an able and a well educated man, and cannot be at a loss to support yourself in a proper manner instead of going about in this disgraceful way of beggary and insolence. Defendant.--1 am, my Lord ; but I happened to he in need of pecuniary assistance. i have always been a hard. working man night and morning. The LORD MAYOR. —I dare say you are known to the officers of the Mendicity Society, and you shall have an opportnnity of seeing them to-morrow._ _ The defendant then requested that his Lordship would order the policeman to treat him respectfully in conducting hiton to the Cornpter, and was remanded till this day.

SUGAR.—In the West India market much heaviness has prevailed this week, both Grocers and Refiners purchasing with much caution, and so limited have been the transactions, not above 120 hhds and trs having been disposed of during the two market days. and these at such irregular rates, that it is difficult to quote accurate prices, and they must be regarded as little better than nominal, the rates accepted however are Is under those of this day week. The real state of the market will, however, be tested on Tuesday by a public sale of 150 hhds Barbadoes of the new crop, being the first this season, when some opinion may be formed as to how prices ve likely to rule for the next few weeks. To-day the market was in a very . dull state, and the trifling quantity disposed of was at prices in favour of buyers. The total sales for the week are only 150 hhds and trs, and our quota tions must be regarded as nominal. REFINED.—The market for Refined Goods has been inac tive all the week, and the limited business transacted has been at a reduction on former rates of Is. per cwt ; Standard Lumps at 92s 6d to 93s ; Tittlers and Hambro Loaves ordinary 92s to 9.35, good 94s to 98s, fine 99s to 103 s, very fine 104 s to 106 s; brown lumps low to fine 88s to 91s per cwt ; for Treacle prices have given way ; common at 28s 6d to 295, Patent 30s to 325, Golden Syrup, 33s to 355.

Treacle at 14s. Pieces at 20s to 255, and Bastards at 15s to 19s. Dutch Crushed Sugar on board at 30s 3d per cwt.

MonassEs. —For West India, prices have given way Is per cwt; - low St Kitt's at 27s ; Mauritius Molasses taken in at 29s per cwt. COFFEE. —Holders of British Plantation have :disp:ayed firmness, and the rates previously established have been sup ported ; but there has been less demand by private contract for clean descriptions, and only a limited business has been transacted this week. This afternoon the market presented a quiet appearance, but prices were firm ;- the transactions were principally confined to the public sales, which consisted of 139 bales Mocha, 44 bags Ceylon, 110 casks and 123 barrels and bags B. P. ; Mocha was mostly taken in above • the value, viz., at 955 for "good ordinary brownish ; Ceylon country damaged, zood ordinary sold at 67s • 6d, inferior 61s 6(1, and very ordinary 44s ; the British Plantation was, however, all sold at full rates.

Trinidad were offered at public sale, a small part only found buyers at Otis to 50s for mid to good red, being 2s lower. TEA.—Holders of Free Trade Tea have refused to submit to any further reduction, and prices rule much the same as those previously quoted, but the market has been in a dull state, the trade for the most part not being disposed to operate at nrexnt, and the purchases have been trivial in both black and green kinds. The nearest quotation far common Cortgou for cash is Is 5d to Is sisl, for fair blackish leaf Is Sid to Is Gd, and Is faid to is for common Twankay. On Tuesday 4,750 packages were offered at public sale when nearly the whole was summarily withdrawn, the merchants not being -' to accept the low rates the trade were disposed • small quantity sold, however, not exceed -'t at a reduction on last public sales' lh ; the greater reduction was '"nsr coarse went at 2s. lid, ' - sv, very fine is 10d, "r, coarse fres:h ''s 9d to incline,. to pay ; tn. ing 400 chests, wo_ rates of 3d to stl per , _ on llyson, Young Hyson, mittat._ good mid strong burnt 2s 10 3 / 4 d ; middling rather strong kind Is q4d; I;ap little heated Is 4d; Hyson,' mid s t rong burnt 2s 9:Y 4 d, but mid strong burnt Gun flavour 2s 8)/ 2 d, but rather fresh and strong 2s 4%d per lb.

To-day there was a better demand for free-trade Tea, and several parcels were disposed of at rather higher rates ; sales of common Congou for cash were made at Is 50 to. Is .54d ; and at the close of the market it was difficult to buy under the latter rate. Compary's Congoti secured a fair sale, and left off at Is 50 cash. To-day at the quarterly sale, 129 chests were withdrawn; 811 chests passed the sale; the whole consisted of ordinary and low consuming kinds, such as Oudes, Bombay, Bituli- Ppm, and a small mark of Madras ; consuming qualities sold without spirit at from last sale's return to 3d discount ; Odes were neglected, and bought in at from last sal e's rates to 6d discount ; Bombay partly sold at 2s ; 31adras taken in at 3d advance; 210 chests were bought in. Good and fine shipping sorts are still wanted, and would fetch full former rates. Rum, BRANDY AND H o w.nlins.—Leeward Island.
