(Continued from our Afternoon Edition.) Williarii Field (brother to the last witness)—l was not present at the contract, but I entered it in the book. In the book I entered bought of Messrs. Gregson and C 0.," but that was not in Mr. Ruck's Contract. If the seller authorises me to sell for a bill, it, is usual then to name the party sold to. If the seller says he will nut take a bill, that means that he will not take a bill himself but it does not prevent the broker taking one, provided he pays the seller at the stipulated time. It is the duty ''Jf the broker to make the bought and sold note corre spond; where ,he can; when he sells on diflerent terms from those stipulated by the principal, he cannot make them correspond. Frederick God,:ell—l am a wine and spirit broker, and have had a good ideal of experience during the 19 years I have been in business. We sometimes sell on comission without naming the principals. When the sellers are not named, and when the sale is on commission. I con sider the broker is the party to be paid. I have acted in that way to a great extent. In the case of the contract put into my hand I should say that Ruck and Co. could only recognise the broker. The brokers would,,have to deduct the dock charges before they paid over to their principal. That is always to be understood as a case in which the seller's name is not given up. Even if the seller's name is meationed, unless it be mentioned in the contract, the practice is as I have stated. By Lord I)ENMAN—If the seller says he will require cash, and nut a bill, the broker may make what arrange ment he phases with the purchaser. Matthew Clarke, 30 years . a wine and spirit-broker— In a note of the form put into my hand, the payment should be made to the broker, if he delivered the goods. I have known several such cases in the course of my ex perience. It is not customary to sell Colonial produce by bill, but. I have seen it done sometimes. My mode of business is always to give up principals. Where the sale is by bill, it is very unusual not to give up the name of the principal. The broker has frequently an interest in the ,goods, from having made advances t . .) the owner. Charles Sutherland, a broker of 20 years standing, gave similar evidence. For the plaintiff Mr. Cresswell called Mr. Bennecraft, a broker of twenty years' standing in the Colonial trade. He thought it was very unusual to ell Colonial prance by bill, or fur a broke r to draw a bill. lam speaking of rum sold in the Colonial mar ket. If the.seller is not named in the contract, and that the buyer is to pay by bill, he must give the bill to the person he buys from. When the broker has made ad vances on the property, I have known him to draw bills. Andrew Johnstone—l have been twenty-three years a broker in East India produce. It is not my prac tice in 'that branch of the business to sell for a bill. I am not aware that such is the custom of the trade. If the broker sold fur a bill the seller is the party who ought to draw it. It is the duty of a broker to enter the names of the buyer and seller in his book. I have known instances of brokers making advances upon Colonial pro lure. East • India rum is an article that has been only within the last few years brought into the market, and the practice is not yet well established. If the prin cipal is not named, and that the broker delivered the goods, he would be authorised to receive payment for them. John Barrow, a Colonial-broker, of 40 years standing —lt is - not usual to sell for a bill. It is usual when the sale is by lilt for the principal to draw it. Peter Bill—l am a member of the firm of Scott, Bell, and Co. We have lately imported East India rum. We sell at one month's prompt. lam not aware of any in stance of a:broker selling rum for the importer to be paid by bill. Henri Gouger—We import a good deal of East India. produce. I never knew an instance of selling by bill ; it is always cash on delivery. We almost always give the dock warrant to the brokers, who receive the pay ment, and account to us. George Barton, of the house of Crawford, Colvin, and Co.—We import East India produce. I know of no in stance of East India rum being sold to be paid for by a bill. Charles Kerr, of the house of Fletcher, Alexander, and Co.—Selling for bills is very rare, and these we have al ways drawn ourselves. We sell for cash on delivery, and the broker pays us. Paris Paul, clerk. in the house of Cockerell and Co., East India merchants—We have always sold for cash on delivery. I know of no instance in which rum has been sold for a bill. _ Mr. KELLY then addressed the Jury in reply, and Mr. CRESSWELL having replied fur the plaintiffs, Lord DENNAN summed up at considerable length, and the Jury returned a'verdict for the defendants. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. GLOBE—The Tories of South Devon have been entertained by their Representatives, Lord Courtenay and Sir J. Y. duller. The Times, whence we obtain our infi,rmation, describes the gal - wring in the in'lated phraseology generally employed io recorcinig events of the kind. The company, large—the viands, excellent—and the cheers, tremendous! 'rite tout ensemble was, in fact, perfectly enc!ilniting. it was " a most important political demonstration"—such as " had not been witnessed for a i long time in the county. 7, As a banquet given to cele brate a great . political triumph, by a party which has recently obtained • ascendancy in the country, the conqituencies of which have recently transferred the Government to its hands, we naturally looked ii-e two thin gs . W e ex pected that there would have b een a fair portion .. of professions constitutionalot' ' attachment to the Crown, and' ol - cordial coagratulatioietorec t et Queen and her illustrious Consort; on tb birth of an heir to the throne `of her ancestors. We looked also for a clear expositi on of the measures which, in the present em b arrassed state of the trading and commercial int erests, and the consequent deep distress of large Crum_ hers of the population i n ti l e inanuf:rt ur i nrr - districts, the representatiVes . who addr es , : j i their constituents on such an occasion would be prepared to propose or support, with a vi ew to their relief. In both these expectations we have been disappointed. The loyalty was cold, even for Conservative teruperatu re. The whole of this part of the day's proceedings is aptly, though somewhat ambiguously, disposed of by the reporter in two lines. " The usual loyal and constitutional toasts were proposed and received with due enthusiasm." Whether the scene which the recent Exeter Hospital feast exhibited was repeated, but the description suppressed, as unfit for the public eye; whether the health of her Majesty was received with marked dislike or with cold respect, rendered more invidious by the "continued and uproarous cheering" with which Conservatives deem it consistent with due deco rum to e x p ress the i rrelative feelings ofattachment to ward the two illustrious ladies whom t I ley thus usually bring into invidious • • positions at their feasts, we n e have no means of knowing. Either mtoasts be implied i n t h e p h rase, t h at the •" usual W ere proposed and received with d ue enthusiasm." -- The public know what Conserva tives over their cups have deemed due to the pre sent Sovereirpi. 'there is nothing in the report of thy Devon meet' e• from 1 1 ' - infer that M b y nen to that they have i til I h royed in their sentiments; a- thoucb, under _ on eir changed circumstances, they may, have be modes of givit c l,lpte re rather more pltideuL in their If the loyalty z jithe - D ance ar i t . publicity to them. of ics was cold, their political orations wereeevoit:lll meagre. Sir R. Peel could have desired '''''- : ' nothing more vague than the demon speeche stratio s € n deliv er d at this "great po li t i ca l ." STNDARD.—A, evening Position has returned to the organ of the Op the charge upon the Irish appointments. A 9 this its renewal of the war, and charo-edelpretext but patiailymeeting the case, Nve shall, IS with . as briefly as ern ay, dispose of all the beads of accusation. First, let • us explain that we do not mean to defend the, Irish Government from the imputa tion of having preferred C onservatives to office; if the Irish Government had failed to make such a preference, it would stand in need a u , defence; it wants none for doing what was merely ip duty to the Constitution of the country, and to good faith between man and man. The members of the Government have been placed in their pre sent elevated station by the Conservative people of the United Kingdom, represented by the great Conservative majorities in the two Houses of Parliament, because they, the Members of the Government, are believed to main tain Conservative principles ; and, in order that they may as far as possible (without injury to the public service), promote the influence of such principles—and it is ob vious that one of the most effectual modes of promoting the influence of any principles is to encourage them by patronage. We, therefore, are so far from denying that the Administration, either in Great Britain or in Ireland, has preferred Conservatives in ap pointments to office, that we boast, on behalf of Ministers, that they have made this preference universally when they could do so without harsh ness or injustice; and it is a matter of exultation, that so strong is the Conservative party in quail cations of every kind, that Ministers have been able to make this preference universally without incurring the reproach of a single unworthy or inefficient appointment. All the men who have been placed in office are admitted by the most un scrupulous objectors to be men of fair character, of competent ability, and objectionable upon no other ground than an agreement in political sentiment with the Ministers who have appointed them, and with the great party who have recom mended these Ministers themselves to the fa vour of the Sovereign. The accusers of the Con servative leaders, who, while these noblemen and gentlemen stood in opposition, tried to injure them by the prediction that in office they would desert both their professed principles and their friends, naturally enough wish that the predic tion may be verified ; but it is a little too much to make the non-ffilhlment of a slanderous prediction matter of accusation. We come now, however, to the several articles of im peachment brought forward against the Irish Government. They are as follow :—First, Mr. Blackburne, the Irish Attorney-General's ap pointment of his two nephews, the one to be his secretary, the other to be his professional junior. Secondly, the appointment of Mr. Brewster, to be consulting Counsel to the Chief Secretary for Ireland. Thirdly, the appointment of Mr. Lefroy to be Baron of the Irish Exchequer. To these appuintments''are added, in these lists of wrongs and grievances, the change of the physician and apothecary to the Lord Lieutenant's house hold, and the reduction in the number of stipen diary Magistrates. The alleged oppression of the Tipperary attorney, who was not allowed to make his office of solicitor at the Sessions a sine cure, is no longer insisted on. Now the bare enumeration of such a list of grievances, even were all admitted in the exaggerated shape in which they have been represented, must demon strate upon what trumpery grounds the whole accusation rests. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOITTH, DEC. 17.—Thefollowing statement will tend to remove the misconception which appears to exist both at home and abroad as to the extent and object of the armament fitting out at this and other ports, and will show that, even including the vessels destined for China, there has been no increase whatever of the Navy; but, excluding the equipment for China, which is for a special and isolated object, having no reference what ever to European questions, there has been a very con siderable reduction, especially in the Mediterranean. During the last four or five months the undermen tioned vessels, including the Powerful, 84, which is now on its passage home to be paid off, have been paid out of commission : Britannia, 120 ; Bellerophon, 84 ; Belleisle, 72 ; Sa marang, 28 ; Crocodile, 26 ; Tyne, 28 ; Scorpion, 10 ; Princess Charlotte, 104 ; Edinburgh, 72 ; Seringapatam, 42 ; Dido, 20 ; Hazard, 18 ; Ringdove, 16 ; 72 ; Powerful, 84 ; Castor, 36 ; Carysfort, 26 ; Orestes, 18 ; Forester,. 16 ; and Spider, 6 ; being altogether seven line-of-battle ships, seven frigates, and six sloops, carrying 892 guns. The — vessels which have been commissioned during the same period are : Queen, 110 ; Illustrious, 72; Madagascar, 3>i ; Spar tan, 26 ; Thalia, 44 ; Dido, 20 ; Pantaloon, 10 ; Harle quin, 16 ; Malabar, 72 ; IVarspite, 50 ; Alfred, 50 ; Isis, 44 ; Volage, 26 - ; Syren, 16 ; Serpent, 16 ; Belvi dera, 36 ; Formidable, 84 ; Vindictive, 50 ; Cambrian, 36 ; North Star, 28 ; L'Aigle, 24 ; Hazard, 18 ; He roine, 10 ; being four ships-of-the-line, 12 frigates, and seven sloops, mounting altogether 896 guns. Of the vessels paid cff the following are from the Me terranean Britannia, 120 ; Edinburgh, 72 ; Carysfort, 26 ; Ha zard, 18 ; Princess Charlotte, 104 ; Powerful, 84 ; Tyne, 28 ; Scorpion, 10 ; Bellerophon, 84 ; Castor, 36 ; Lido, 20. Total, five sail of the line, four frigates, and two sloops, mounting altogether, 594 guns. In addition to the foregoing, three more line-of-battle ships have been ordered home ; the Ganges, 84 ; Hastings, 74 ; and Im placable, 74. lOf the ships which have been commissioned the Ad lowing only are ordered to the Mediterranean, being two line-of-battle ships and two frigates:—The Queen,llo, with the flag of Sir E. Owen ; Malabar, 73; Belvidere, 36; and .L'Aigle ' 26. The squadron for China are the Cambrian, 36; North, Star, 28; Lido, 20; IlazArd, 18 ; Warspite, 50; Syren, 16; Harlequin, 16; Andromache, 28; which the Alada gascar, 44, has gone to relieve at the Cape of Good Hope; together with the Belleisle, Apollo, and Sapphire troop ships, and the `linden, hospital-ship. Of the other ships commissioned, the Illustrious, 72, has gone to the North American and West Indian sta tion. The Spartan, 26, is for the same destination ; Alfred, 50, is for South America ; Par.taloon, 10, Coast of Africa ; Heroine, 10, for the same ; Serpent, 16, West Indies. The destination of the Formidable, 84 ; Thalia, 44 ; Isis, 44 ; Vindictive, 50 ; and Volage, 26 ; is at present nit known. It is supposed that some of them arc for China. THE CONVICT `YARD.—No respite has yet been received at Newgate for this unfortunate - criminal, and consequently there can be but little doubt that the extreme sentence of the law will be carried into effect on Mor.day next. Several of the Cabinet Ministers visited Sir Ro bert Peel this morning in Downing street. THE VACANT G A RTER.--Tile Duke of Buckingham and Lord Wharncliffe arc both named as likely to succeed to the distinguished honour of being created a Knight of the Garter, a vacancy having oc curred in that noble order by the demise of the venerable Earl of Westmorland. Lieut.-Col. George Macdonald has been ap pointed Governor of sierra Leone. ------ - TIIE DEPOPULATION SYSTEM IN IRELAND. —lsuring the last ten years, as appears from the result of the Census, the decrease in the population of Ireland has been 527,590! We understand that S. C. Horr y , Esq., h as started as a candidate to fill th e vacanc y in the timber of City pleaders, which is likely to arise by the eleva tion of Mr. Ryland to the Bench, as the successor of the late Mr. Sergeant Arabia, whose death was announced in yesterday's Sun. _ The Carlton Club, according to some of the Irish papers, have given the sum of 4,0001. to the testi monial to Colonel Bruen, " the exterminator" of the Roman Catholic tenantry of the county Carlow. SOUTH HACKNEY.—A meeting of this parish was held yesterday, to levy a Church-rate ; the Rev. 11. Norris, the rector, tpok the chair. A rate of 4d. in the pound was proposed by Mr. Haddon, church warden, and met by an amendment, moved by George Offer, Esq., a magistrate, and seconded by John Mor ley, Esq., of Well-street. The amendment was nega tived by 65 to 85, and the vote for the rate was then Put an d carr i e d b y 80 to 62. A poll was demanded, whi c h was to close this afternoon. The scene was a s tormy one, the police hang in attendance, and all but pati ilkioners excluded. , THE SO CIETY OF ANTIQUARIES.— On Thurs.. xy evening., Mr. Godwin, jun., drew the attention of the Society to the fact, that many stones, both inside and culler mark or outside various ancient buildings in England, bear a pe culiar Similarsymbol. evidently the work of the Free emxhairbkistoare fou . nd o o f n d l ia 't g •e r n a c m h s b , buildings, exists between aeries 6'9 and Mr..

EVENING SUN LAW iNTELLIGENCE. SECONDARIES' CO -1?7 ; De',. 17. G Ruß: riox SIN S. B This was an action broug ht b y Moses Gmbh, against A. Boxsins to recover a sum of 10/ . ai. 5d for g oo d s sold and delivered. The defendant pleaded first, that the goods were told under an agreement for two mol!ths' credit, which time h ad not expired at the time the actio n was comme nced ; rnd secondly, that he had given the p laintiff a bill of ex change for the amount. It appeared from the evidence that the plaintiff, who is a deeper in hay, straw, &e., bad, during the months of June, July, August, and September last, supplied the defendant with goods. That some time in the month of October he applied to defendant 'br 41, who replied that it was not then convenient to let him have the money ; upon which plaintiff p r oposed to send 6/. worth o f goo d s wore , an d t o draw uron him for 101. at two months. To this proposal the defendant ac ceded; the goods were supplied, and on October 14 the plaintiff. brought the defendant a bill at two months, for acceptance ; that bill was dated Oct. 9, and when defend ant observed this error to plaintiff, plaintiffrectified it by causing a 1 to be inserted before the 9, thus making it the nth, and defendant accepted it. On the 20th the bill was brought back to defendant, and the person :cringing it back told him it was worthless, because the late had been a l tere d after it had been d 4 rawa. A great ,Ica) of contradictory testimony was given as to whether no defendant had offered to give another bill, but ru ching turned upon that fact. 31. r. Secondary JAMES, in summing up, told the Jury here could be no doubt but that the bill of exchange was worthless, not because it had been altered after it . had been drawn, for an alteration made in a bill by the consent of the drawer and acceptor before the bill was put int o c i rcu l at i on wou ld not necess arily vitiate it, but because the bill was dated the 19th, when, in fact, it was drawn on the 14th. It was, consequently, for a longer period than two months, and was, therefore, an improper stamp, which rendered it worthless. Whether the bill could be con sidered as evidence that the agreement between the par ties was for two months' credit, was a question for the Jury to determine. If they were of opinion that such an agreement had been made between the parties, then the action was brought too soon, and the verdict in the first issue must be for the defendant. On the issue relating to the bill of exchange, the plaintiff was entitled to their verdict. The Jury returned a verdict for the defendant on the first issue, and for the plaintiff on the second. Mr. C. JONES conducted the case for the plaintiff, and Mr. THOMAS appeared for the defendant. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Dec. 17. WILLIAM HITCHCOCK'S BANKRUPTCY. In this case an application was made to the Court to day by the bankrupt's solicitor for a copy of all exami-' nations taken under the bankruptcy. The COURT granted the application as far as it re ferred to the bankrUpt himself, and also as far as it re ferred to his two servants, Mr. Churchhouse and Mr. Hayward, but said it would be sufficient time to consider the application as respected the examinations of Messrs. Cook and Gladstone when it was seen whether at the next sitting in this case it was intended to put those gentleman into the box for examination, for it was under stood that that would be the course pursued by the gen tleman who conducted their case. The reasons, as en tered upon the proceedings, which induced the Commis sioner to adjourn the examination of the bankrupt in this matter, were as follows :—" The proceedings of the Court having been interrupted-by great noise and clap ping of hands, similar interruptions (though to a less extent) having previously occurred, and there being no power inherent in the Court of enforcing order and de corum, I adjourn the said last examination sine die, with liberty to the bankrupt to apply for a further sitting when he shall be prepared. '• EDW. HOLHOYD." Mr. NIAs applied to his Honour to-day for a warrant to enforce the attendance of Mr. James Clark, late one of the official assignees of this Court, with certain books and papers, to undergo an examination for the benefit of the estates of which he had the superintendence while in his official capacity. It appeared that a summons had been served upon Mr, Clark at Newcastle-upon-Tyne, and nolPhaving appeared to it at the expiration of the hour to-day allowed for such appearance this application was made. - Sir C. F. WILL3AMS granted the application, and the warrant was forthwith issued. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Dec. 17. IN THE MATTER OF JOHN EDW. CAREW, SCULPTOR. The insolvent, who is a celebrated sculptor, applied to be discharged under the Act, and was opposed by Mr. Platt, Queen's Counsel, and Mr. Nicholls and support ed by Mr. Cooke and Mr. Woodruffe. The insolvent examined by Mr. PLATT—I believe you are a sculptor?—l am. Did you formerly carry on business in the Edgeware road?—l did. =During what time did you so carry it on?---For seve ral years. As far up as 1831 ?—Oh no, not so lately as that. I cannot charge my memory as to date, but I should think up to about 12 years ago. Had you a studio of your own up to 1831 ?—lt is eight or ten years ago since I had one of my own. I believe you went down to Brighton, for the purpose of establishing a studio there ?—I did. At the Earl of Egremont's desire 2—Yes. He was your patron at that time ?—He was my patron up to the year 1823 or 1824. Did his Lordship ever give you a piece of land, on which your studio was to be erected ?-lle did. For 99 years, I believe, at a nominal rent ?—Yes he did. Did you for some years after you went to Brighton continue your studio in the Edgeware-road ?—No; I gaits it up. I understood you to say. that you went to Brighton in 1824.—1 had not my studio at Brighton and the Edge ware-road at the same time. Were you performing works for his Lordship prior to 1831 ?—Certainly. What was the first work you were employed upon ? I was upon a statue of Arethusa, and in consequence Lord Metre caused me to be introduced to the Earl of Egretnont. What was your next work ?—The next was the statue called Adonis, which was a commission the Earl of Egre mont gave me. In what year was that ?—I can't tell whether it was in 1825 or 1826, but I think it was the early period ; I think it was immediately after the Arethusa was finished. Did his Lordship order the statues of Vulcan and Venus ?—The next, I believe, were those. Was that in 1827 or 1828 ?—I dare say it was about that time; but, unless I had the book to refer to, I cannot say positively. W hat were the next statues ?—The ne:..t were Alei biades and also the Falconer. There were also three models of statues. Were those all completed as early as 1831 ?—Yes. Were those models made in Brighton or London ? They were made in Brighton. Were all the other statues completed before you left Brighton ?—Yes, I believe they were. They were all completed before 1831 ?—Yes, they were. How soon were the models completed after you went to Brighton?—They were not all done in one year. Were they done as early as 1832 ?—I believe those things were as late at 1836. What, those three models ?—lf you mention any par ticular models, I can give you the information, perhaps. The models of Satan and Dido, and a colossal statue of William the Fourth ?—Those models were commenced about 1832, and terminated, I should say, about 1835 or 1836. I believe his Lordship resided principally at Peg worth, in Sussex ?—He And you resided at Brighton ?—I did. Did you from time to time receive money from him ? —I did. Although you resided at Brighton, did you during part of that time reside at Pegworth, at a house of his Lordship's there?—l did, at New Grove-house. Were you at that time engaged upon any work at Pegworth ?—I was. Did your family live there any time 7—They did. Resided there, I suppose ?—Resided there. What length of time ?—About a year and a quarter, I should think. Did you keep a banking account at Messrs. Wiggly's, of Brighton ?—I did. Did you keep any account at a London banker's also ? —Not at the same time. Have you had no account with a London banker ? I have had an account with Marten, Call, and Co. How long did you reside in Brighton ? —From the time I left the Edgevvare-ro..d, with the exception of the occupation of ths. house, New Grove-house. You told us just now that you had a banking account with Messrs. Marten, Call, and Co. before you left town ?—That was before I went to Brighton. What, have you never paid any money to M ar t en , Call, and Co. since?—All the money I had to carry on the business was carried through . Messrs. Wigney and Co. That is not my question. Did you bank with Messrs. Marten, Call, and Co. after you were at Brighton ? Why, no. Is not the proper name of that firm Sir William Call, Bart., and Co.?—l believe it is. I did not mean to mis represent ; but I believe that is it. Now, do you mean to say that you have never paid into their hands any sum of money since 1831 ?—I think at one time I received from the Government 1,200 L, and to the best of my recollection I called on Messrs. Marten, Call, and Co., to krow if they would have the cash for me, as I had business out of town. In a few days I drew 2001. for present use, and theft I drew the other 1,0001. to deposit in the banking-house at Brighton. What year was that in ?-1833. How long did ; , you allow the money to remain in the hands of Messrs. Marten, Call, and Co. ?—Perhaps a week. Now, upon the occasion of the death of the Earl of Egremont, or shortly afterwards, did you direct a letter to the executors now in Court ?---I did. Is this the letter ?—lt is. The letter was then read. It was dated Pegworth, Nov. 28, 1837, and ran as follows : "From the very unexpected and painful situation in which I am placed by the lamented death of the Earl of Egremont, I am induced to request permission to give up New Grove-house, as the object for which I was placed in it no longer exists ; and as my present cir cumstances will not justify my continuing the .occu pation of a house of this magnitude, I hope I may be excus:d for writing thus early, in order that it might be placed at your disposal. lam requested by General Wyndham to send in my account, which I beg to subjoin." The account was then read, with the items, which left a balance in the favour of the insolvent of 5,3261. 1 Is. lid. The letter then went on :—" The circumstance which induced me to take the late position I occupied was the fact that I believed the late Earl had pro vided for me in case of his death ; and it is my belief that the Noble Earl whose memory I shall ever revere, and whose loss to me is irreparable, had so intended. I return you my best thanks, and it will ever be my study to forward your stews in everything in my power.'' The examination was then continued by Mr. PLATT. Did you forward a letter again on the Ist of i)ecember, 1837, dated Grafton•street, Brighton ?—I did. This letter was also read. Did you receive a letter from Mr. Murray, one of the executors?—l did. This was a letter to the insolvent, requesting a full list of the items in his account. A letter was then handed up to the insolvent, and identified as having been written by himself to Mr. Mu rray, dated March 13, 1838, containi:ig a statement ) toe mere payment 1••• I.' ;' e s u e u s n • estate eb)a's whichid b t 1 1 1 1 a i n rg s e in d the the s Earlo f of 22,4351, and `fated Egre uwr as the reason wh • he claimed compensation be • had sacrificed • 11 his" r works d • himself a- other prospects by devoting to the service of the Earl. in sculpture, that he Examined by Mr. PLATT—Did you consult Mr. Bankes about that account (handing a paper to the wit ness) ?—To the best of my recollection I have seen that account before. • A letter was handed to the insolvent addressed by Mr. Ban k es t o Colonel Wyndham. Has the account been sent with that letter to Colonel Wvndham . ?—l have no recollection of it. Who showed the account to you P---Mr. Bankes. The letter was then read. It stated that Mr. Carew, in consequence of hiS ignorance -of such matters, and his,.pressing professional engagements, had requested Bankes, as a friend, to make an account of all his trawac• tions with the late Lord Egremont ; that the latter had examined several vouchers and receipts, together with the banker's book and correspondence of the insolvent with the late Earl of Egremont, the result of which he now submitted ; and the letter concluded with on offer to meet any gentleman whom Col. Wyndham might ap point, for the purpose of settling the dispute between the parties. • The statement cf account, which was dated the 24th of December, 1838, charged for various works, executed for the late Earl of Egremont, 21,238 L, to which was ap pended the following item :—" Compensation for profes sional and other labour in the service of Lord Egremont, frOm the commencement of 1823 to November 1837, at the rate of 2,00C1. a-year, including men, wages, and materials, 31,0001., making a total of 52,2381. From this there was deducted 1,9271. 14s. Bd. for cash received, leaving a balance of 50,3101. ss. 4d. A letter was then put in, and acknowledged to have been received by the insolvent from Mr. Murray, in be half of Colonel Wyndham, dated Dec. 24, 1838, de clining to comply with Mr. Bankes' proposal, and offer ing to pay the costs if the insolvent would prosecute his Claims in a Court of Law. By Mr. PLATT—Was there an action commenced against the executors of the Earl in your name ? There was. And I believe your Counsel withdrew the case from the Jury ?—He did. Were you present in Court at that t r i a l ?—I was . i I believe you admitted, n your an swer t o a bill o f discovery, that you had received certain checques from his Lordship ?—I did. A cheque was handed to the insolvent, dated Sept. 28, 1835. The Insolvent—l know nothing of this cheque; I have no means of recognizing it. Another cheque was handed to the insolvent for 1,0001. dated the 20th September, 1828. Mr. PLATT—What do you say to that ?—There is nothing upon either of those checks to prove that they were ever paid to me, having never kept an account with Lord Egremont as to the moneys he paid me. Will you venture to swear that neither of them were paid to you ?—I will not venture to swear that. The COMMISSIONER—To whom are they made payable .Mr. PLATT—TO " bearer." A cheque was then handed to the insolvent, dated the 18th of December, 1833, for 1,000/. The Insolvent—l will not undertake to swear that they were not paid to me, but there is no evidence that they were. On another check of the 13th December, 1834, for 1,2001. being handed to - the insolvent, he said, " I have a recollection of 1,`2001. being paid tome by Lord Egre: ment, by cheque. In examining the bank book, with Messrs. Wigney and Company, and from other sources of information, I recognised the amount of that cheque. I have no means of ascertaining that sums were paid to me except through my bank books. By Mr. PLATT (handing a paper to the insolvent) — Does not that refresh your memory that 1,200/. was lent to you by Lord Egremont, to enable you to purchase some land to build a cottage upon ?—I did pay that sum to Mr. Furnall, but I am not sure that it was by that cheque. A latter was then read, dated the 12th December, 1834, in which Lord Egremont consented to advance 1,200/. to purchase some ground. By Mr. PLATT—Does not that enable you to say that the cheque was received for that purpose ?—ln my judg ment it was. A cheque was handed to the witness, dated the 14th of April, 1837, for 50(1., payable to the bearer, at Messrs. Masterman and Co.'s bank. Was that paid to you by Lord Egremont ?—I should say it was, from Masterman s name being indorEed upon it. Were they the agents of Messrs.Wig•!ey ?—They were. The insolvent was then examined as to whether he had not, in his answer to the bill of discovery, refused to admit the receipt of the cheques in question, and he re plied that he had refused. The COMMISsIONERS thought that was rather a matter for the Court of Chancery. Mr. PLATT said the insolVent had claimed a sum of 19,0001. as due to him from the estate of the late Earl; whereas it could he shown that the schedule was a total fiction. He had 'not given any particulars of ac count. An action had' been brought by the insolvent against the executors; a bill of discovery had been filed, and in the answer to that bill he denied several large sun's which they could prove him to have received. The Learned Counsel then examined the witness at some length as to his engagements during his connection with the Earl of Egremont, from which it appeared that during that time he had been engaged in executing works for Earl de Grey, in addi tion to those which he executed for the Earl of Egre mont. His object in doing this was to show that the in solvent had not devoted hiniself exclusively to his en gagements with that Nobleman. The Learned Counsel also examined the insolvent as to his sources of income in 1833, which were a house iu the Edgewttre-road, at a net rent of 601. a-year ; and another, formerly used as a studio, at a rent of 35/ per annum. His object, he said, was to show that the insolvent could 'not have received such large sums as appeared in the bank-book, from any other person than the Earl himself. The examination was then adjourned until to-morrow. FROM LAST NIGHT'S GAZETTE. DOWNING-STREET, Due. 16, 1841.

WATER COMPANIES. It is rumoured hat, in the caurse of the ensuing Session of Parliament, application will be made for the establishment of no less than three new Water Companies. Such speculations cannot be too narrowly watched, while specious prospectuses are appearing as regularly as the' seasons come round, or any depression in the money market affords a hope of tempting the capitalist with 12.rge, but visionary profits. The official returns made to Parliament very clearly show, that on the capi tal expended on the Metropolitan Water Companies not more than five, probably not more than four per cent. in terest has been obtained, and this after all those Com panies had been, for years, without any dividend at all. That the first effect of the establishment .of new companies would be a fierce competition and consequent lowering of the rates, by which all return for waterworks, capital would be annihilated. That the public would be apparently benefited is no doubt true, but it is equally so, that the benefit would be only tem ! parary and soon exchanged for loss and inconvenience. As, on the one hand, no lowering o f th e rates c h arge d f or water can increase the number of consuirers, nor on the other hand can any portion of the capital expended to furnish the supply be removed, it is obvious that the Companies will, to use the language of the Report of the Committee of the House of Commons, "first compete to the point of ruin, then combine." But inasmuch as from the same number of rate-payers the return upon a larger capital must be drawn, the rates will of necessity be raised to a higher level than that from which they had fallen during the competition. Against such a combina tion it is quite clear that the Legislature cannot protect • the public, nor will, we add, it deserve protection, if, with the short-sighted and unfair view of obtaining a great convenience at prices which will not now remune rate those by whom that convenience is supplied, it en courages a needless and wasteful expenditure of capital. That the practical monopoly enjoyed by the Water Com panies is liable to abuse we are ready to - admit—that there' may have been instances in which it may have been so abused we are not prepared to deny—that the Legislature would be perfectly justified in providing some protection against any possible abuse (such, for instance, as the Board of Supervision for the Control of Railway Companies, but with more stringent powers), we are perfectly willing to concede ; but we are quite sure that, of all remedies for any evil or imperfection that may exist for the supply of water to the metro polis, the very worst would be the establishment of new companies.— Times. THE LATE MADAME D'A !ISLAY, THE AUTHOR OF "EVELINA," &c.—The Diaries and Letters of this inimitable novelist and excellent woman, it ap pears, are very shortly to see the light. They are said to be of the very highest interest and importance, and extend over a long series of years. The literary cele brity of Madame d'Arblay, it will be recollected, early acquired for her the notice of Royalty, and for some time previously to her marriage she was one of the Keepers of the Robes to her Majesty (Queen Charlotte). During her residence at Court she continued her Jour nals, narrating conversations with, and giving anecdotes and sketches of the Royal and Noble persons who honoured her with their intimacy. This portion of her MSS. is said to be unusually interesting, and the public will, doubtless, wait with no small anxiety to learn the impressions and feelings of a mind like that of the author of " Evelina" and " Cecilia," surrounded by all the splendour and gaiety of a Court. The work is to be published, uniformly with the Life of Sir Walter Scott, in monthly volumes, the first of which is announced to appear on the Ist of January next. THE NEW ROYAL EXCHANGE.—The- Lord Mayor has issued cards of invitation to all the Cabinet Ministers to a grand dinner at the :Mansion• house on Monday, the 17th of January, to meet Prince Albert, in order to celebrate the laying of the foundation stone of the New Royal Exchange. COMMISSION OF LUNACY—Yesterday a Com mission of Lunacy was opened at Hornscy• wood Tavern, before Mr. Commissioner Phillimore and a Special Jury, of vs hirh Arthur Stni:h, Esq., was Foreman, to inquire into the state of mind of Mr. Charles Carter, an inmate of Northumberland House Private Lunatic Asylum, at t-3tolce Newington. It appeared from the evidence that he was a native of Chelmsford, Essex, and had been under confinement since the year 1818; he was in the habit of fancying himself surrounded by a great number of per sons, and would swear and abuse imaginary beings. He had no idea of the laitte of money, and the faculties of his mind appeared to be entirely prostrated. When he was introduced to the Jury .he started back . and seemed to be exceedingly timid. All attempts to make him understand the nature of the investigation were fruitless, and upon a sovereign being shown to him he stated that it was a seven shilling piece. One unusual feature in the case was that the unfortunate gentleman expressed himself perfectly happy, and exhibited great anxiety to get back to Northumberland House. The Jury, after a patient inves tigation, found Mr. Carter insane, and incapable of go verning either himself or his property. Air.

MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. SUN.---The firmness of the Stock Market continues, although in the aggregate the transactions to-day were not of magnitude. Consols for the Account were at 89'3 to 89+, closing at 89+ sellers ; Exchequer Bills were 10s. to 12s. prem. ; and East India Bonds Is. prem. ; Bank Stock was supported at .166 to 1651 ; South Sea Old An nuities were a t 87 ; Reduced T hree-and - a-Half per Cents. brought 98+ to 99A ; and the Three per Cent.

Railway Shares again bore a higher value compared to that of the last week or so. London and Birmingham were at 74 ; Do., _Quarter, 181 ; York and North Mid land, 40 to 41 ;Torth Midland Thirds, 2 ; Great Western, 20 ; New, 101 ; South Western, 183 prem. ; Brighton, 111 ; :Madman, 14 ; Birmingham and Glou cester, 35 ; Bristol and Exeter, 32 ; Eastern Counties, 14+ ; Manchester and Leeds, 41 ; Manchester and Bir mingham, 101 ; Midland Counties, 15 ; and North Mid land at 28 dis.

ROYAL ARTILLERY. Lieut.-General Lord Bloomfield, G.C.B. and G.C.H., has joined from leave, and assumed the command of the garrison. "Upwards of forty non-commissioned officers and men deemed unfit for further service, were brought before a medical board, at the Ordnance Hospital, on Wednesday, for examination relative to their state of health. The Regiment still continues much below the esta blishment, notwithstanding that a considerable number of recruits have joined during the present month. Captain Cuppage's company, 9th battalion, relieved the detachments at the Tower, on Thursday. Capt. Bing ham, and Lieut. Graham, accompanied the detachment. Major Rayne's company, 2d battalion, and Major Vaughan's company, 6th battalion, were inspected at the Hospital, preparatory to being completed for field battery service. The inspection of the former took place on Tuesday, and the latter on Wednesday last. Lieutenant-Colonels Sinclair and Stopford, it is said, contemplate r. tiring on full pay. This will lead to the vacancy of another Adjutancy. that of the 3d battalion, and it is expected Captain Mitchell will succeed to this appointment. Several proofs of ordnance have taken place in the Royal Arsenal during the week. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. Captain Phipps Hornby, 0.13., Superintendent of her Majesty's Dock-yard, Woolwich, has been appointed Surveyor• General of the Coast Guard, vice Bowles, pro moted to be a flag officer.

LEEDS, DEC. 17.—The present has been a flat week in the Engli•h Wool Market . as is usually the case at this season of the year. Priees'ma; be quoted the same as last week. Business has not at all improved in Leeds Cloth Halls this week : the quantity of goods sold both on Sa turday and Tuesday was exceedingly small, and prices by no mans remunerative. The same dull state of busi ness exists in the warehouses. The recent failures in London and in Glasgow have considerably damped coati dente. We scarcely ever knew so little doing by the merchants, or a more desponding tone entertained by Al concerned in the Woollen Trade than at the present period. The most cautious and best-informed are almost panic struck at the failures which are taking place, not being able to foresee when the present state of things will come to an end. BRADFORD, DEC. 1 6. The demand for pieces to-day is but sack, arid the amount of business done is very li mited; this applh.fs alike to fancy as well as plain fabrics. Prices remain without change. We have no improve ment to Loticc in Yarn since our last report. Spinners continue to run their machinery short hours, which pre vents any accumulation of stocks: in prices no variation. During the last week a less amount of business has been effected in Wool, even is coarse and middle combing sorts, but prices are stationary; the higher qualities are still neglected. Colonial We'd, both for worsted and woollen purposes, is very much depressed. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the London New Price Current of December 17.)
