AIORNING SUN 3 ,- 1 - ONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. :FROM TUE MORNING PAPERS OF SATURDAY. CHRONICLE.—The Bank parlour has been throwing out a feeler to try the pulse of the dis count houses in Lombard-street, which tends to strengthen the surmises that the Finance Commis sion is connected with the diplomacy of Thread needle-street. If the local issues were suppressed, and a monopoly established of Bank of England paper, as a consideration for the collection of the public revenue by Bank officers, a profitable source of the trade of these houses would be with drawn. At present the private banks, who receive part of the revenue, send it to their London brokers, who lend it out at a profit for short periods, according to the current rate of interest. If the whore of the public revenue be transferred to the Bank of England, this traffic would be stopped, and the money brokers would become the mere agents and stipendiaries of the Bank Directors. It is not very likely, therefore, that the scheme of the Bank parlour will meet with much favour amongst these parties, who have a considerable sway in the Money Market. POST.—The second notice issued yesterday by the Bank of England, requiring that par ties applying- there for temporary accommoda tion on the deposit of Exchequer bills, India bonds, and bills of exchange, should accompany their applications with a promissory note for the amount, has given rise to some discussion among bill brokers, capitalists, and others; and by some of the number there seems to be a disposition to find fault with the arrangement as an innovation calculated to give needless trouble. We do not suppose that the Bank authorities have resorted to the measure as one intended for an inquisitorial purpose, although the accumulation of the pro missory notes of a single name or firm is certainly not to be considered otherwise than as a guide to the extent of assistance which it may be expedient to afford to particular parties. The object of the Directors appears to be rather that of establish ing more decidedly their right than the mere possession of Exchequer bills or India bonds affords them to proceed, in case of the non-per formance by borrowers of the stipulations con tamed in the ordinary notices, to the realisation of such securities in the market without the pre vious sanction of a jury. They do not now, for the first time, call fnr the collateral guarantee of a promissory note in the case of bills of ex change. It we are correctly informed, an addi tional instrument of this kind has been always required and given, and the propriety of making the condition uniform seems to have been for some time felt by the Board. Under the old system Exchequer bills or India bonds might lie for an indefinite period unredeemed, and nothing would be generally known of the want of punctuality on the part of the house pledging them, but more caution will lIOW be necessary, as, in the event of non redemption of the security, or payment of the note, there can be no hesitation in announcing the fact for the information of the public. It is rumoured that the funds arising out of the negotiation of the Exchequer counterfeits have been traced to the Bank of France, where they are held in deposit, and it is added that a messenger has been sent over to Paris to attach it in the hands of the Bank. It is further stated that Government having a clue to the agent here employed in the transmission of the property, still other measures have been taken tin- its recovery. . _ The Secretary of the jloard of Stamps and Taxes requests us to give insertion to the follow ing letter from the solicitor of that department of the public revenue :-- FORGERY OF POSTAGE STAMPS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE MORNING POST. SIR—In the City article in your paper of this day I find it stated that file law does not comprehend the imi tation, by means of the electrotype, of embossed stamps, sneh as the Post-office labels, as an offence coming within the Acts passed for the prevention of forgery. Feeling assured that you would deeply regret that any of your readers should he misled by your remark, and be induced to attempt the experiment suggested, under the erroneous notion that it may be practised with im punity, I beg to refer you to the 22d section of the New Postage Act, 3 and 4 Viet., cap. 96, where you will find that any person who shall by any means whatever imitate a postage-stamp, or who shall knowingly have in his possession a counterfeit stamp or impression re sembling or representing - , either wholly or in pal t, or intended or liable to pas.s or be mistaken for' a genuine postage stamp, will render himself liable to be trans ported for life. I beg also to add that there are in other Acts of Parliament similar enactments; applicable to every other description of stamps issued by this depart ment.—l am, Sir, your most obedient servant, J. TIMM, Solicitor for Stamps and Taxes. Stamps and Taxes, Somerset-House, Nov. 26, 1841. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF SATURDAY. GLOBE.—An old Latin romance has for its snbject the adventures of an unfortunate Wight, 'yclept Apuleius, who took up his lodging at the house of a female magician in Thessaly, whose maid-servant he induced to steal from her mis tress a box of ointment, by rubbing himself with which he expected to be changed into a bird ; but as the furtive damsel had, by mis take, given him a wrong box, he found him self compelled to bray and walk on all fours, instead of whistling and flying in the air. The Times is the modern Apuleius. The familiar— who engaged to supply our Contemporary with the faculty of whistling soft airs and doing the agree able, in order that " all parties" in Ireland might be "drawn together," charmed by his fascinating sounds,—has evidently brought him the wrong box. Thus, while lie fondly imagines he is soar ing aloft and " warbling wood notes wild," he presents a ludicrous mixture of the lion and the ass, alternately roaring and braying with amusing violence. Whileurging the duty of moderation,and expatiating upon the advantages of domestic peac e upon the population of Ireand--long torn by faction and divided against each other by the operation of long-cherished prejudices and un hallowed feuds—the pretended advocate of peace is hurling among that easily-excited people the elements of strife, in ribald combinations of weak sense and strong language, similar to i those which it has been n the habit of putting forth, under varied political aspects, for a series of years. In no single instance has this contra diction between the pretence and the act been more palpable than in an article which this morning appears in the columns of " the leading journal." Moderation is therein insidiously pro pounded as the theme ; but the baser passions, which have unhappily acquired the ascendancy over reason h the sister country, are in it kin dled and fed, as from a kindred source. STANDARD.—The abrupt termination of :Michaelmas Term, in the forenoon of Thursday, by the hasty retirementof the Learned Judges, has naturally been the subject of much conver sation and of some complaint. The injury to man y suitors cannot fail to be considerable, as a great number of cases are thus postponed from the 25th of' November to the 10th of January , with the incidental expenses of new forms and additional fees, over and above the evil of the law's delay. But to w hatever injury individuals may be exposed, it is-so much for the public benefit to preserve r it e d reverence with Which Judges are me are rewarded, that where they err from human infirmity their errors are to be treated with Let us say, too, that theLordChief per sonal character of tht,_ Justice, an d his conduct in his high o.flithc whiche, g him a claim to respect above that wi Still . it is any __man can be invested by office. refer.cult to I ich we defend the proceeding to w The time of the Courts of J us t ic e is, as the N o bl e Lord himself observed, the property of the pub lic, and of an important part of this property the public have been deprived by the act of the Judges, upon grounds wine ll can hardly be a• c counts for his con sidered sufficient. Lord Denman and his venerable brothers' proceeding,onl y as the Bench. It necessary to maintain the dignity of , seems, however, doubtful whether the dignity _ot the Bench was best maintained by an act wh ich, besides causing injury to suitors, wore the ap pearance—we are sure the appearance only — of a peevish temper, of all tempers that which is least dignified. On the other side, it does not seem clear that the dignity of the Bench would be compromised by the Judges either occupying their seats or retiring to their chambers for a few minutes, until the pub lic business could proceed in order. There is surely nothing undignified in the patient discharge of a public duty, even at the cost of some personal inconvenience. It is true, no doubt, that the public good and the dignity of the Bench are both concerned in au inflexible adherence to rules clearly and distinctly laid down. But it is unfortunate in the particular instance—unfortuna to generally for the public —that no such rule exists. Nothing is more common than for the Judges to wait for Counsel in a particular case; indeed, it is every day's ex perience; and no reason exists why the indul gence should be withheld on the last, more than upon any other day of the Term. Most would be disposed to think that upon the day on which most business is transacted in the different Courts the indulgence would be especially proper. The question immediately before us, however, is not is whether such an indulgence - proper on any par ticular day, or at all? but whether, as it does exist, it ought to be withdrawn suddenly without notice, and therefore, in appearance, from the caprice of ill temper? For ourselves, we think that the practice of waiting for Counsel is injuri ous to the public, and especially injurious to the junior bar, and would wish to see it altogether discontinued. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Nov. 27. BAINES V. BREWSTER. This was an action for assault and false imprisonment. The declaration set forth that the defendant was pos sessed of a certain dwelling-house and premises at Little Maplestead, in Essex, and that the plaintiff entered on the premises and disturbed him. That the defendant re- I quested plaintiff to leave, but he refused to do so, and threatened to knock at his door and create a disturbance until a certaik book was delivered up to him. That plain tiff continued to knook violently at the door, and insulted and abused defendant's family. That de fendant sent for a constable, and to prevent the continuance of the annoyance, followed the plaintiff some distance, and gave him into custody. The defendant pleaded a justification, and not guilty ; and the question was, whether the breach of the peace, being committed out of the view of the constable, he was jus tified in taking the plaintiff into custody. The Jury found a verdict for the defendant, and a rule for a new trial was subsequently obtained, on the ground that the constable had no jurisdiction, the alleged breach of the peace having ceased. Mr. GURNEY (with whom was Mr. Ogle) now ap peared to show cause against the rule. He submitted that the words of the plea were strictly correct, and that the breach of the peace for which the plaintiff had been given in charge, had not ceased at the time the con stable took him into custody. The COURT was of opinion, without hearing the argu ments of Mr. Thesiger on the other side, that the juris diction of the constable did not extend to the taking the party into custody after he had quitted the premises, the plea therefore was bad; the rule must be made absolute. HEARNE V. STOWELL, CLERIC. The COURT gave judgment in this case, which was an indictment for libel, brought by the plaintiff, a Roman Catholic clergyman, against the defendant a clergyman of the Established Church, for a libel reflecting upon the character of the former in his capacity of a clergy man. The case was tried before Mr. Baron Maule at the Lancashire Assizes, and a verdict had for the plaintiff ; and two motions had subsequently been made in that Court; first to enter a verdict for the defendant on the plea of Not Guilty, and secondly, for an arrest of judgment. There was some doubt whether the plaintiff was charged with doing anything which could be consi dered as affecting his character, and the Court was not informed by the declaration as to the manner in which the plaintiff's character could suffer from the obloquy said to be cast upon him, or that it was contrary to the conduct pursued by a Roman Catholic priest in imposing penance. That defect was said to be cured by the evidence given at the trial, and that his superiors in the Roman Catholic Church considered the conduct imputed to the plaintiff as highly improper. But to that it had been answered, and pro perly answered, that no evidence could cure such a de fect as that which was apparent on the face of the record, and that none was properly admissible on such a subject, the issue joined having no relation thereto. It was denied by the Counsel for the defendant that the defendant had any intention to impute improper conduct to the plain tiff, and the distinction between libel and slander was pointed out, the words in the former case being dis tinctly referred to the Jury for their opinion under the Libel Act. On that ground it was contended that the Court had no power to arrest the judgment, because the question was removed from its cognizance, and had been exclusively submitted for the opinion of the Jury. From that doctrine the Court must dissent. It was net enough that the charge should be termed a scandalous and malicious libel, but it must be shown that it was calculated to injure the plaintiff in some way, because other wise the most innocent words might be construed to be libellous. It was therefere necessary that all the facts and circumstances should be brought under the consideration of the Court, otherwise an in dictment for libel could not be directed. The conse quence of a contrary doctrine would be, that any words, whether sensible or not, conveying any imputation, would support the charge of libel, if there was only a general complaint of their being an imputation upon character. The ground of the course which the defendant thought/proper to adopt at the trial, in seek ing to obtain an acquittal upon the proof of the allega tions being true, the Court did not think it was now open to him to move the Court for a new trial ; but, on the other point, the Court was of opinion that the rule for an arrest of judgment must be made absolute. THE QUEEN V. SIIEEHAN, ESQ., AND SIR JOHN H. DOYLE. The COURT gave judgment in this case, which was a rule for a criminal information obtained during the pre sent term against the two defendants, in respect of a statement in the Cambridge independent Press, re flecting upon the character of Sir Alexander Reid Grant, and tending to provoke him to a breach of the peace. The rule had been obtained against Sir John Doyle, on the ground that the publica tion appeared to be his. There was a statement of a long correspondence, which had taken place in consequence of an application made by Mr. Sheehan to Sir A. Grant, for an explanation of some attack upon his character at the last election for Cambridge, Sir John Doyle appear ing as the friend of Mr. Sheehan. Sir John Doyle was referred to Lord Granville Somerset as the friend of Sir A. Grant, and that Nobleman refused all explanation until Mr. Sheehan had retracted certain remarks re flecting on Sir A. Grant, which had been published by bim as the editor of the newspaper referred to. Sir John Doyle at first answered that Sir A. Grant had redressed his own cause by some severe remarks made by him publicly on the day the offence was alleged to have been committed, but he afterwards agreed that some further atonement should be made, and pro posed a letter, which was not considered satis factory by Lord G. Somerset. The negotiation was then broken off, and a communication was had with Sir H. Hardinge, who concurred in the opinion expressed by Lord G. Somerset. That did not meet the view of Sir John Doyle, who required an immediate re ference to another friend, which Sir A. Grant re fused, stating that he would refer the matter to his legal advisers in a long letter, reiterating all the points of the negotiation. Sir John Doyle then published the remarks which are the subject of complaint, and which were couched in that tone of menace and insult which the Court had so frequently re pudiated. It was said that the prosecutor's conduct had deprived him of all remedy, as he entered upon the negotia tion with the full knowledge that it was likely to lead to a hostile termination. If that was so, the Court would know how to deal with the matter, but Sir A. Grant had declared upon his oath, more than once, that he had no such intention, and Lord G. Somerset also declared that his intentions were perfectly amicable. Sir H. Hardinge had made no affidavit, but it would appear that the d clarations of the other parties were not inconsistent with the course pursued by Sir H. Hardinge. Sir John Doyle, however, thought otherwise, as appeared by the state ments in his affidavit ; but even if that were so, Sir John Doyle had no quarrel with the prosecutor, and if the latter had inadvertently offended him he might have, if the application had been couched in proper language, apologised. But it was wholly unwarrantable to say that he was a dis graced man for acting under the advice of highly respect able gentlemen, and still more to have published these re marks in a newspaper after Sir A. Grant had said he would refer the matter to his legal adviser. Mr. Sheehan's case was essentially different—the first attack placed him greatly in the wrong, because his charges about the slave trade and cruelty appeared to be quite unfounded. The answer of Sir A. Grant was founded upon that attack, and then at the ensuing election the flag having recoiled the matter to his mind, he again referred to Mr. Sheehan. But Sir A. Grant carried his revenge much further, and referred to something of Mr. Sheehan's private history, which appeared to the Court an unwarrantable insinuation, as it might have raised almost any suspicion regarding Mr. Sheehan's life. They knew of no justification for so sweeping a statement but its truth, and they did not find that Sir A. Grant either knew or believed that it was true, and, had he retracted these assertions, the Court would probably never" have heard of the present case. After referring to the great length of the public time which had been occupied by the case, the Court concluded by observing that Sir John Doyle had, by fastening a quarrel on Sir A. Grant, made himself liable to have the rule made absolute, but under all the circumstances they thought the rule should be discharged as against Mr. Sheehan, but without costs. BAIL COURT, Nov. 27. WARRANTY OF A HORSE.—COOKNEY V. MARRIOTT. t u This was an action brought by the plaintiff, an ,againstat- Larenneywarranted sound Mr. an ironmonger, to recover damages f or th e sale of an unsound horse, Iv hich had Mr. V. LEE having opened the pleading, Mr. Sergeant LUDLOW stated the case to the Jury. It so happened about h the 28th of May. 1840, that the plaintifflt anwdasthine the situation of a gentleman a horse to disposeef defendant in that of a gentleman a trrey horse, the subject a irft t havingo f a In consequence the defendant sent stables of a Mr. Yeomans, of the present action, to the yYeomans m a a l n i livery r y having stable examinedkeeper fo r theth the plaintiff see him, tried to cough him, but w as unable horse to ascertain th at he as sound in limb, s servant te e t t i o h do so, as the horse about the head.

On home, up Haverstock-hill, however, certain sounds weregnng eli cited from the chest of Mr. Cookney's new which, however amusing to the bystanders, were ' any thing but pleasing to the cars of Mr. Cookney, who, when he examined his horse in the stable, discovered that he had purchased a regular roarer. He thereupon sold him to Mr. Yeomans for 18/., and applied to Mr. Marriott for the difference between that amount and 25/., to recover which the present action was brought. Mr. Yeomans placed the horse in a chaise, and sent him down to Ep som races, and on the road he performed like a com plete band of musical instruments, being not only a roarer, but a piper and whistler, drowning the sound of the bugles and horns they passed on the road. The evidence of Mr. Yeomans, the livery- stable-keeper, and that of his servants, bore out the statements of the Learned Sergeant's speech, and great laughter was excited by Mr. Yeomans's description of the marvellous musical performances of the horse on the Derby day. Accord iLnagto his account, the grey must have been the very hi ache of horses. The case for the prosecution being concluded. Mr. ERLE addressed the Jury for the defence, and after ridiculing the idea of the defendant taking in an attorney, said that the real fact was that this was merely an attempt to saddle the defendant with costs. At the _- ~_ THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1841: Basto's office for am explanation of the extraordina-y 1 transaction referred to. Mr. Campbell asked Basto to explain, and that person made a statement which was extremely confused and unintelligible. It appeared to be to the effect that Basto had received the bonds from a a relation in Portugal for the purpose of getting them converted, and then sending them back. B a st o an d Campbell offered to bring him the 1,0001. and he said he should come to the City to have the matter settled, and that he should not come away without the cash, unless he should find it necessary to go to the Portuguese Financial Agency-office. Mr. Campbell and the prisoner talked together for some time about something which witness did not hear, but he heard Campbell say to Basto, " Y ou h ave bills," and suggest that some wine-warrants should be given to him. A desk was then opened, and Basto took out a book, and took down some particulars of wines from it, and offered the paper to witness, who refused to receive it. Basto then wrote out some orders, which witness saw were directed to the superintendent of some docks. Wit ness also refused the orders, and then Basto went, taking the orders with him. Witness waited till half-past five o'clock, expecting that the wine-warrants would be brought to him, but they did not arrive. Mr. Campbell and his clerk then promised that the warrants should be at his house in the morning, and the six wine-warrants produced were accordingly brought to him next morning by Mr. Campbell's clerk. In consequence of the publi cation of what took place at the Mansion-house on the subject of these wine -warrants, witness came to the City in order to state what had occurred to him. Mr. Campbell's solicitor said he was anxious to ask Mr. Gardiner, the clerk to Mr. Campbell, a few ques tions to show that no imputation could rest upon Mr. Campbell's part in the transaction. In fact, that witness desired to be allowed to add something to the testimony ho had already given upon the occasion. Alderman GIBBS said that, as a postponement was re quired, a full explanation might be given at the final ex amination of the prisoner. —The prisoner was then re manded. Richard Hibbert, the person charged with having de stroyed or detained a will made by his mother in favour of her youngest child, Agnes Hibbert, was brought up for re-examination. Alderman COPELAND stated that he attended as agent to the prisoner's brother, who was the captain of an East Indiaman, with whose family he had long been on the most intimate terms, and for whom he had the highest possible respect. For the sake of the family he requested that the case should be postponed for a few days, in order that an arrangement might be come to if possible. Alderman Gauns consented to the postponement, but could not help expressing himself very unfavourably of the conduct of the prisoner. BOW-STREET. Samuel Williams, who stands charged with stealing a considerable quantity of plate from the house of the Rev. Dr. Giles, of Windlesham Hall, near Bagshot, was brought up for further examination. It will be recol lected that on the former examination, Mr. Kirkham, a pawnbroker in the Strand, and with whom the plate had been pledged by the prisoner, was ordered into custody, but was afterwards admitted to bail on his entering into recognizances, himself in 2001., and one surety in the same amount, to appear again on Saturday. He now at tended, in pursuance of his recognizances. Previous to the case against Williams being gone into, Mr. Clarkson, who appeared on the part of Mr. Kirk ham, stated, that so far from his knowing or even sus pecting that the prisoner "Williams had stolen the plate, he had unfortunately been made the dupe of that person, and he was now willing to be a still greater sufferer, by at once giving up all the plate which had been pledged with him. He hoped, however, that the Court would no longer consider that Mr. Kirkham had been guilty of felony, or think it necessary any longer to hold him to bail to answer that or any other charge. Mr. JARDINE said he had, since the former examina tion, carefully read over the whole of the evidence which was then adduced. The manner in which Mr. Kirkham conducted himself on that occasion had led to his being ordered into custody, and a wvrrant being granted to search ,his house. Now, however, that Mr. Kirkham had received better advice than that by which he appeared to have been guided on the former examin.ttion, he would not commit him for trial, or any longer hold him to bail. He was, therefore, discharged from his recogni zanc s, but must remain in Court Were evidence against the prisoner. The case against 'Williams was then proceeded with. Mr. Flower, the Solicitor, attended on his behalf. Dr. Giles repeated the evidence he gave on the pri soner's former examination, adding that he had since been to Windlesham Hall, when he was informed by the servants that the prisoner had removed forty dozen of wine from the cellar, and forwarded it to London, and he had since a.scertaine,l that twenty dozen of it was in the possession of an attorney as a security for the amount of a bill of exchange which he had discounted for the prisoner. He had also found on his visit to Windlesham Hill, several letters addressed to the prisoner. Among them was one dated 50, London-wall, and signed by a person named Thornton, in which the writer, among other things, said, " I have just opened a house for play; I have engaged one of Crockford's men. You may, if you join us, have the command of your own money, and need not take an ac tive part unless you choose. I will explain all if you will let me have a private interview with you." On cross-examination, Dr. Giles stated that the pri soner's wife was a highly-respectable lady. He believed that the prisoner had pledged his plate in consequence of his being in temporary difficulties. It was understood between them that if the prisoner, wished he might drink the wine in the cellar, and pay for it afterwards. The prisoner had written him a letter, offering to pur chase the plate, buc witness took no notice of that letter. Mr. Kirkham and his shopinan were next examined, and they produced the prosecutor's plate, altd stated that it had been pawned with them by the prisoner at various times between the 2d of June and the 9th of September. Mr. JARDINE said that in the absence of any evidence regarding the stealing of the wine, that part of the case against the prisoner must stand over for the present ; but in the meantime Weston the officer would go to the house where the wine was, and place a seal upon each hamper, at the•same time cautioning the party in whose possession it was that he must not part with it. The prisoner was then remanded until Friday next. William Mence, a letter carrier, was committed for trial on a charge of stealing a sovereign from a letter which had been entrusted to him to deliver. Joseph Paybody, charged with uttering several forged cheques—the particulars of whose case have recently been published—was committed to Newgate for trial. There was no additional evidence given. WORSHIP-STREET. On Saturday night, at the close of the office, Mr. H. W. Weston, late the proprietor of the Hackney Tempe rance H o t e l, Hackney, appeared to a summons before Mr. Broughton, charged with using threatening language towards Mr. William Oxley, M.D., proprietor of the Lunatic Asylum, Hackney, and President of the Hack ney Temperance Society. Mr. Wolfe, a solicitor, at tended for the complainant, who having explained the nature of the charge, at the same time stated that an infamous accusation had been preferred against his client by the defendant, but which was likely to come before another tribunal. The complainant being sworn, said the defendant about a twelvemonth ago obtained possession of one of his houses, for which he was to pay a rent of 401. a year. The house he held was called the Ifackney Temperance Hotel. Complainant had a large quantity of furniture in it, and some had been supplied by the defendant. The latter was in arrears of rent two quarters, for which fre quent application was made and negotiations entered into, but without effect, when complainant threatened to place a broker into possession. He had previously paid various rates due by the defendant to prevent a distraint upon the goods in the house. On the 15th inst., he stated peremptorily that if he had not some rent given him that a broker should take possession, when, as no arrange ment could be determined upon, he last Saturday took a survey of the furniture in the house, and as it appeared in a most shameful state, he distrained, at the same time giving instructions that the wearing apparel and a few pieces of furniture should be restored. About one o'clock that day the defendant called upon him and asked him if he would not let him have any more furniture, and upon complainant refusing he threatened that he would do for him. He had an umbrella in his hand, which he held up in a menacing attitude, and com plainant was obliged to protect himself by placing the door he was standing by between himself and the defen dant. The latter subsequently circulated a report of a most infamous character against him, and went to a pub lic meeting where he also used expressions highly dero gatory to his profession. Mr. John Newman, London-street, Hackney, coffee house-keeper, said that he knew both complainant and defendant. The former was President of the Hackney Temperance Society. Last Monday night a meeting of the Society was held, at which about 100 members were present, when the defendant, contrary to the regulations, without being called, got on the platform to address the company. He said that Dr. Oxley had used him like a villain, and had robbed him of 501 . , and that he bad kept away that evening, as he knew that he (defendant) would be there. Witness called him to order, and told the meeting that the doctor had some pre-arrangements. The defendant, however, continued, and observed that the next time he saw complainant he hoped it would be either at the Old Bailey, or hanging at Newgate. The defendant was hissed by the ladies, and witness eventually succeeded in removing him. By Mr. BROUGHTON--I have known the complainant three years, and never heard the slightest taint on his character. Mr. BROUGHTON here observed that it was right that he should inform the complainant, that when the officer executed the summons on the defendant, the latter showed him two letters referring to the accusation above alluded to, one of them being addressed to the Commis sioners of Lunacy, and the other to the Earl of Stan hope, Head President of the Temperance Societies. The defendant remarked that the subject was in course of investigation. Mr. BROUGHTON further observed, that the officer had read the lett ers to th e Co m mission of Lunacy ; and he stated to him that as an action woul d p robabl y arise out of it, h e oug h t t o b e particularly acquainted with the contents o f th e l e tt ers . , , The defendant was held to bail. --- EMIGRATION SCHEI►IE.—To stave off the evil day—to indulge the aristocracy a little longer with their favourite Corn-laws, it is said that the Government is about to launch a new " tub to the whale," in the hope of diverting attention from the real source of all the evils under which the country is suffering. This new scheme is a plan of " emigration upon a large scale." If the poor and helpless alone be taken off, their own condition will be little if at all improved, nor can they add to the wealth or power of the colony upon which they may be thrown for support. Upon those left behind must be cast the burthen of removing those who cannot remove themselves. Thus additional taxes will be required with fewer hands to contribute them. time the horse was purchased the plaintiff was distinctly I told that Mr. Marriott would not warrant the horse, and the facts showed that such was the case. Where was the necessity of trying the horse if it had been warranted sound ? Mr. Marriott had distinctly told the plaintiff that the horse would not be warranted, and the horse had been taken away from Yeomans's stables in consequence. The plaintiff had then gone to Jewell, the foreman of the Bolt-in-Tun, said he liked the horse, hut that Mr. Marriott v ould not warrant him. The plaintiff and Jewell had then gone to Marriott's stables. Jewell examined the horse, tried his wind, pronounced him sound, and advised Mr. Cookney to purchase him without w a rr a nty. They afterwards met Mr. Marriott, who distinctly told Mr. Cookney he would not warrant him, and Cookney purchased him upon the distinct understanding that there was to be no warranty. The purchase took place on the 28th of May, and on the 29th of May Mr. Cook ney wrote Mr. Marriott a letter, stating that he had discovered that a horse, for the purchase of which he had been in treaty, was waiting for him at Hendon, and requesting Mr. Marriott to take the horse back ; this Mr. Marriott refused to do ; and on the sth of June, he having sold the horse to Yeomans on the 3d of June for 181., Mr. Cookney wrote a letter to Mr. Marriott accusing him of fraud, and threatening him with legal proceedings, unless he re turned the 25/. and took the horse back again. With regard to the wonderful story of the adventure on Haver stock-hill, he should prove that on the day of the pur chase, Mr, Cookney said he had driven out his wife with the grey, and was much pleased with his performance. If he was enabled to prove these facts, he thought he should fully entitle himself to their verdict. The Learned Counsel then called Jewell, the foreman at the Bolt-in-Tun, Mr. Marriott, jun., the son of the defen dant, and other witnesses, whose evidence bore out the statements made in his speech. Mr. Cookney's letters were then put in and read. Mr. Sergeant LEDLO W replied at great length. Mr. Justice PATTESON, in his summing up, charac terised the letter of the plaintiff of the 6th of June as a most offensive letter ; and said that if the plain tiff at that time had been of opinion that he had re ceived a warranty he would, as a lawyer, in that letter have told the defendant that he proceeded upon that warranty instead of charging him with fraud. The Jury, without a moment's hesitation, returned a verdict for the defendant. Mr. Justice PATTESON—There never was a clearer case. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Nov. 27. PETRIE V. LAMONT AND OTHERS. This was an action for an illegal distress. The plain tiff kept the Canteen at Hounslow barracks, and the de fendants are the well-known brewers, Lamont, Stewart, and Co., with whom were included the brokers and their assistants who executed the distress by the direction of Mr. Stewart. The levy was alleged to be made for rent due, and the main question in the case was, whether Pe trie or defendants had the tenantcy under the Ordnance. The canteen was taken by the brewers, who put in the plaintiff, and having themselves no profit out of the premises but that arising from the sale of beer. Plain tiff considered himself as the immediate tenant of the Ordnance, though it would seem that the premises having been taken in the brewers' name they paid the rent, and the plaintiff having neglected to repay them, and other differences having arisen between him and them, they, assuming to be his landlords, distrained as for arrears of rent. A question then arose as to whether Lamont, Stewart, and 111‘Trevor were partners; and if so, whether the dis tress in question was the act of the partnership, involving the three conjointly, or the act of Stewart alone, for which he individually was responsible. The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff against Stewart alone. Damages, 901. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Nov. 27. GREEN V. BAKER. The plaintiff, Ann Green, a domestic servant, brought this action against her late master, Edward Baker, Esq., a gentleman of fortune, living at Lion House, Stamford hill, to recover compensation for the injury she had sus tained in having been falsely imprisoned on a charge of felony. Mr. C. Jones, with whom was Mr. Pearson, ap peared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Thesiger and Mr. Butt conducted the defendant's case. William Chambers, police-sergeant 18 N, took the plaintiff into custody in the evening of the 26th April last, for stealing a box; he received directions from Mr. Baker, who had called in the morning of that day, and given information of having been robbed, and at the same time giving the address of Ann Green, at the house of a Mrs. Webb, of Church-street, Newington. The box was found at her lodging, and she was taken to the station-house, when she remained till the follow ing morning, when she was conveyed before Boyce Combe, Esq., at Hatton-garden, and discharged. Cross-examined—Mr. Baker said he did not wish to press the charge. When he called he said he had missed several articles and left a paper (put in and read—the following Is a copy) :—" Ann Green left the service of Mr. Baker on the 24th of April—missing a strong deal box, with a till inside—a set of weights from a half pound downwards—a new scrubbing-brush—some sauce pans newly-tinned, and a silk umbrella. " Ann Green was sent away before her time, in con sequence of leaving a candle burning in her bed-room, using very bad language, and striking the housemaid and footman. We also hnd that she sold the kitchen stuff, although allowed a gratuity a year for it." Much merriment was occasioned by the reading of this document. Two other witnesses were examined on the part of the plaintiff ; after which Mr. Thesiger addressed the Jury for the defendant. He observed that it was not denied that the box had been taken away, however trifling in value, which would, therefore, support the plea of justification. For the defence Matilda Webster was called. She stated that she was formerly housemaid to the defendant; remembered the plaintiff living there as cook ; the latter was discharged on the 24th of April ; witness brought the box from the plaintiff's room into the hall, and she took it away. Cross-examined—Has left the service of the defend ant. When she brought the box down she did not know it was that which had been kept in the kitchen. There was a lamp in the hall at the time. Could not say whether it was lighted, or whether she went up stairs with a candle. Believes it was light enough without. Cannot say whether it was seven or nine o'clock. Has quarrelled with the plaintiff. There were faults on both sides. Both had given warning, though witness staid there; several months afterwards. Master was in the hall ; he did not say, " There goes one of my boxes ; d— her, if it is, I'll give her law enough for her impu dence." Me only said sbe was " werry himperent." There were four servants—cook, housemaid, footman, and odd man. _ _ _ Edward Baker, defendant's son, stated that the plain tiff had acknowledged her having taken the box when at Hatton-garden, and requested him to intercede with his father, as she had no father or mother. Cross-examined —Believes she is 40 years of age. The box was produced to the jury, and excited much aughter, as it resembled an old candle-box. It was said t be 40 years old. r. C. JONES replied at considerable length ; and the Learned Judge summed up, giving an intimation that, however slight the value of the box, if feloniously ab stracted, the plaintiff's imprisonment was justifiable. The Jury, after a few minutes' deliberation, gave a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 201. Lord AIIINGER—That, gentlemen, is your verdict, not mine. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Nov. 27. IN RE GEORGE WILLIAMS. In this case the bankrupt appeared in Court on his adjourned examination. He carried on very extensive business as a wholesale and retail linen-draper, both at Aldgate, in London, and in Kingston. His debts and liabilities amounted to upwards of 12,0001. Mr. SOLE, the solicitor to the assignees, objected to him passing his final examination on the ground of not having produced a satisfactory account to the assignees, and not handing his books into Court. Goods to the amount of 6,000/. had gone down to Kingston, and no books were produced to show the result of the sale. In reply to the Learned Commissioner, the bankrupt stated that he kept his books rather irregularly latterly. in consequence of numerous arrangements he was making in Kingston. The LEARNED CostmissiosErt—The fact of your hav ing numerous arrangements on hand renders you the more culpable for any negligence of your books. Mr. Isaacs, the bankrupt's solicitor, said he (the bankrupt) had done everything in his power to render is satisfactory account to the assignees, and he believed even that Mr. Edwards, the official assignee, was satisfied with the evidence which was adduced at the last meet ing is support of the bankrupt's statement. Mr. Commissioner HOLROYD said it was idle for any one to talk of rendering the best account they could of their estate, when they neglected a proper attendance to their books. Some trades or callings might be carried on without books, but of all others that which the bank rupt followed required most attention to these matters. Upon looking over the profit and loss statement rendered by him there was for the amount of certain goods bought, a sum of 28,0 001 . , and in the continuous statement, he saw that on 12,0001. of those goods sold, the profit amounted to only 1501. Such a statement no man would believe, unless he had it in black and white in books re gularly kept. He should, therefore, adjourn the exami nation sine die. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. The justice-room was crowded with commercial men in consequence of the understanding that a full examina tion of Jose Joaquim Gonsolo Basto, charged with hav ing stolen wine warrants of the value of 6001., and eight Portuguese bonds for 500/. each, would take place. Mr. Humphries attended for the prosecutors, and Mr. Clarkson and Mr. Sadgrove defended the prisoner. Both the wine warrants and the Portuguese bonds had been placed in the hands of Mr. Jackson, of Piccadilly, who advanced money to a Mr. Campbell, an acquaintance of the prisoner, upon them. The evidence entered into upon this examination occupied a considerable time. Richard Jackson, of No. 45, Piccadilly, stated that he saw the prisoner for the fiest time on the 12th instant. He knew a Mr. Campbell, a wine merchant, of Mark , lane, who was in the eat ly part of the year indebted to him upon a bill of exchange and partly for cash. About the 17th or 18th of March he had a bill from Mr. Campbell, drawn by J. J. G. Basto, for the sum of 120 L, which was not paid. On the 29th of September Mr. Campbell brought to him four Portuguese bonds and deposited them with him, and witness advanced to Campbell upon the bond at that time 100/., and sub sequently 921. 15s. Mr. Campbell afterwards brought him four other similar bonds, upon which he advanced the sum of 6331. 15s. An account was settled between Mr. Campbell and witness, leaving the former in debted to the latter, 1,0001. On the 12th of November, in consequence of an advertisement witness saw in the newspapers, he sent to Mr. Campbell at Mr. PRICES OF CANAL,DOCK,ASSUR ANCE COMPANY SHARES, &c. &c. &c.

The seconds are ordered to be under simple arrest for fifteen days. The Minister, in giving his decision on this point, took occasion to express his regret that the affair had originated in a cause which appeared to him very frivolous.— Galignani. COMMISSION OF LUNACY. On Saturday, Mr. Martin West, the Commissioner, and a jury, of which Luke Thomas Flood Esq., the Magistrate, was foreman, assembled at the Old Swan, Brampton, to inquire into the state of mind of the Rev. David Megan, formerly of No. 11, Camden-villas, Camden -town, and now an inmate of Dr. Elliott's Lu natic Asylum, Cowpar-house, Brompton. Mr. Cole attended as counsel in support of the commission. It appeared that Mr. Megan had betrayed symp toms of insanity previous to the month of October in the past year, and upon the 22d of that month he was suddenly deprived of his senses while taking a drive in his chaise, and became quite imbecile. Upon his reach ►ng home medical assistance was rendered, and on the following day ho became exceedingly violent, and required five persons to restrain hire. He roared, kicked, and bit at everybody who came near him, and spat in the face of his keeper. He had no recol lection of recent events, and called persons by their wrong names, insisting that they were his old school fellows, and at other times abusing them for being Jews, Dissenters, and servants of the devil. He imagined that two of his deceased brothers were living and prac tising as surgeons, and that his former wife vas alive. He also fancied that he continued to preach from time to time in the parish church of St. Martin-in-the-Fields, of which parish he was formerly curate, and greatly re spected. lie had no children, although he had been twice married, and as he possessed considerable property in the funds, and a number of leaseholds, it was deemed necessary that these proceedings should be taken by his wife for her own protection. Ho was removed from Camden-town to Dr. Elliott's asylum, on the 3d of December last, and since that time no change had taken place in his mind. A number of witnesses were examined, who proved that Mr. Magan could not read his prayer-book, or keep up a connected conversation, and that he laboured under the delusions already described. The Rev. Gentleman frequently interrupted the wit nesses while they were giving their evidence by inco herent remarks, and protested that they were all Dr. Davis, a Jew, an enemy of his, who went to school with him. He likewise declared that the Rev. Mr. Gee, of St. Martin's, ought to be removed by the vicar, and that Mr. Marshall, a surgeon, was a dangerous man, and owed him (Mr. Magan) a large sum of money. The jury returned a verdict, finding the unfortunate gentleman insane from the 22d of October, 1840. FIRE AT THE COLLEGE OF SUR- GEONS. About half.past, eight o'clock on Saturday evening, a fire broke out in the museum attached to the Royal College of Surgeons, Lincoln's Inn-fields. The fire was discovered by police-constable GE; F, who was on duty in Portugal-street, the northern side of which is flanked by the gable end of the building..' His attention was first attracted on walking past the spot by a loud crackling noise, and, on observation, a dim light was seen through one of the basement win dows. He immediately hurried round to the front en trance in Lincoln's Inn-fields, and, having given the alarm to the beadle, dispatched messengers to the various fire-engine stations. In a very short time the engine of the brigade establishment from the Holborn station ar arrived on the spot, and soon after that from Chandos street. By this time the flames had made rapid pro gress, and the whole of the pavement floor of the building was in a perfect blaze of light, the greatest fears being entertained for the destruction of the whole of the valuable contents of the far-famed museum. Fortunately there was an excellent supply of water near the spot, and the engines having got into work immediately, a vast body of water was thrown upon the flamer, and in a very short period all fear of their extending beyond the lower apartments was at an end. By half-past nine the fire was completely got under. The cause of the accident is not yet clearly explained ; the apartment in which the fire broke out is that in which the heating apparatus for the building is con tained, but it does not appear that it originated from any defect or mismanagement of the machinery. It is supposed that a spark must have dropped upon the floor of the room, and connected with some light deal boxes which were ranged on one side. It is a most for tunate circumstance that the fire was discovered at so early a period, as it is stated that the next apartment contains nearly sixty barrels of spirits of wine, which, had they once ignited, would, in all probability, have caused the destruction of the whole building, together with its valuable contents. It is not a little singular that this is the fourth fire which has taken place on a Saturday evening within the last few weeks. RIGHT OF SEARCH. The Presse, noticing a statement by one of the °weals that the French Minister of Marine has recog nised the right of English cruisers to search French vessels on the coast of Africa, with a view to the more effectual abolition of the slave trade, says : " We knew very well that this exercise of maritime police, under pretence of executing the treaty, was al ways one of the secret objects of the philanthropic manifestations of England ; we knew that she had suc ceeded in obtaining the recognition of this right of search from all the secondary Powers ; but we also knew that France had energetically rejected this pre tension. We knew what reply M. de Telleyrand made in 1814 to the application addressed to him on this subject by the Duke of Wellington iu his note of August the 26th, and with what firmness M. Tat leyrand again declared to Lord Castlereagh, at the Congress of Vienna, that France would not admit, in principle or practice, any other maritime police than that of each Power over its own vessels. We knew, also, that the same pretension having been set up by England at the Congress of Verona in the name of morality and philanthropy, M. de Chateaubriand re plied to the remarks in the following terms :—' As to the right of search, if the French Government would ever consent to it, it would be attended with the worst consequences ; for the national character of the French and English people is opposed to it. France recognises the freedom of the seas for all flags, and she claims for herself only the independence which she respects in others, and which is suitable to her dignity.' It is evi dent, then, that France had constantly protested, in the name of liberty, against this pretension of the cunning diplomacy of England to exercise a maritime police. Has England since obtained what she could not obtain at Vienna or Verona, and what was so energetically re fused to her by the conquered France of 1814?—and if so, has it been by treaty, or by a ministerial decision ? We cannot believe that she has obtained it ; but the Government owes it to the public not to leave the ques tion in doubt. If, contrary to what appears to us to be possible, an abandonment of precedents full of dignity should have taken place, the Government ought, ut least, to state the motives of its conduct." The Moniteur Parisien makes the following reply : " The Globe having mentioned a fact to which it at tached some importance, the Presse, led by it into an error, asks whether it be true that the French Minister of Marine has acceded to the English cruisers the right of visiting French merchant vessels on the coast of Africa, under the pretext of repressing the slave trade ; adding, that France alone, among all the European na tions, has always refused to England this humiliating right. This is all erroneous, and may ba thus explained. The right of visiting is reciprocal. It results from the treaty of 1833, which binds England, France, Sweden, Denmark, and the Netherlands to the abolition of this trade. Since that treaty the French cruisers have ex ercised this maritime police on English as well as on all other vessels, as the French vessels have in return been subject to it, and our Minister of the Marine delivers, in this respect, the same commission to our cruisers on the African coast as the English Admiralty delivers to its cruisers." The Presse. in alluding to the reply of the illonileur Parisien as to the right of search by England of vessels suspected of carrying on the slave trade, says : " If it be true that England asserts this power in virtue of a treaty in 1833, we have only to regret that the new regime in France should, in this affair, have shown itself less jealous of the dignity of our flag than that which preceded it. As to the observation, that the right of search is reciprocal between France and England, it diminishes very little, in our eyes, the fault that has been committed. England, un doubtedly, never understood the subject i n an y o th e r way, and it was this right of reciprocal police which had previously always been energetically refused."
