MORNING EDITION THE INDUSTRIOUS CLASSES. The following are extracts from a very sensible address lately issued by " The Institution for Bettering the Condition of the Industrious Classes :" The Institution earnestly recommends the formation, in every parish and town, in the kingdom, of— A Committee for the protection and encouragement of the industrious classes :—The members of this Committee, to consist of enlightened and worthy persons, of every rank and station in society; so as to unite the experience and co-operation of the rich and the poor, and to promote that union and mutual regard so essential to the real in terest of every class, and so secure a barrier against every inroad of injustice and violence. The immense importance of suppressing drunkenness by every proper means. To this end, the co-operation of every Christian, every reasonable person, should be earnestly directe; and none can be at a loss for the most pressing reasons, for urging the indispensable necessity of sobriety to every one who prefers comfort, respectability, and future happiness, to squalid want, unnatural diseases, untimely death, and the more terrible, but scarcely less certain alternatives—domestic di-cord and cruelty, the commission of the most revolting crimes, and the utter misery of human and divine retribution. The countless records of the shocking effects of drunkenness, will con vince every one, that it is incompatible with comfort or happiness; and that it justly merits the place which the Gospel assigns to it amongst the most flagrant crimes. In a pecuniary point of view, it causes such waste as to render even liberal wages utterly insufficient for mere pre sent comfort ; and futurity is left exposed to every vicissi tude of misery. The Committees, or sections of them, might constantly form and carry into effect, plans fer augmenting the wages of good workmen, or rendering them more adequate to their expenses, and for procuring employment for workmen of good character ; and, with reference to the great in terests at issue, to watch over the progress of manufac tures, &c., and prevent the loss of vast markets from illicit practices and deteriorated articles ; and also to use every exertion to render war .s impossible, and our friendly rela tions with Foreign States advantageous to all parties. Other plans for leading every family and individual to make some provision for future cont►ugenciea, old age, &c., which should be encouraged by every proper means. Plans to turn these savings to advantage, so as to improve the general circumstances of the owners ; plans of small loans for tools, or small undertakings, which have been successfully adopted and managed by the ladies of one of - our noble families, in the north of England ;—plans for assuring supplies of good food at the fair market price, so as to enable the poor to:lay out their money as advan tageously ;as the wore wealthy classes; and for hav- _ . ins duties regulated so as to render them more pro &Al: and less burdensome. The Corn-law question might be so treated in these Committees as to prevent in justice to any party ; and the Institution suggests the propriety of examining whether justice and good policy do not recommend a reduction of the corn duty at least commensurate with the augmentation of our population sinee 1827. Taking that augmentation at about 1 per cent. per annum, or perhaps 20 per cent. in all, the pro portionate reduction of duty on 62e. would be about 12s. 5d., leaving the duty on that price at 12s. 3d. per quarter, and the other duties in proportion. It seems to be admitted, that our average crops have been insufficient for our population ; and this fact, and the excessive price of butchers' meat, said to be caused by the want of pas ture, seem to justify a reduction of duty, at :least propor tionate to the annual increase cf population ; and may serve as the basis of a further yearly reduction, so as to meet contending views of justice, and finally to relieve the staff of life from duty, without any violent perturbation. Such views may deserve the attention of landlords, as serious fluctuations in the value and security of property, pubic revenue, &c, may occur, should excessive duties ou corn still expose the country to sudden and exhausting drains of gold, which might at least be mitigated, if not wholly avoided, by the facilities which would result from a regular and gradual importation. It is grievous to reflect on the hard trials which now press upon the less fortunate workmen, numbers of whom scarcely gain 4-sths of the sum required to enable them to exist, without injury to their health. This most painful fact has been fully proved by recent investigations ; and the Institution calls upon all par ties to adopt some means of reducing the burdens of the wcrthy and industrious poor. By a general and patient effort, the relief granted by the Poor-laws might be ren dered far more efficacious. The honest and industrious should be distinguished from the undeserving applicants, and be so tenderly dealt with as to soothe their feelings in distress, and encourage their worthy efforts to live by their own industry. Our Jewish congregations adopt many kind and successful regulations, tending not only to relieve present want, but to re-establish their unfortunate bre thren, and thus stop the progress of pauperism. Should such an example be lost on Christians? Our care for the welfare of such classes will lead to the discouragement of itinerant beggars. This Institution has been informed by an excellent Magistrate, that, in his own district, the con tributions collected by such individuals are found equal in amount te the whole poors'srate ; though the great extent of the indigent population makes that rate not less than 5.. 4d. in the pound, upon nearly the full rents of about 10,000 houses. The pecuniary pressure, and still worse results, of such an evil must be obvious. The plan should be adopted of sectional relief Committees (pursued with success in Prussia), or even a still greater subdivision, making the contributors really acquainted with the re lieved, and rendering the system far more advantageous to both parties. The Committees should never lose sight of the very great advantage of small allotments of land, enabling the poorer classes to grow their potatoes and other vegetables, and affording them agreeable and profit able occupation when they are otherwise unemployed. Some reasonable and healthy recreation should be encou raged, but so as to amuse the whole family, and not with draw the husband and father to some brutish debauch, apart from, and to the grief of his poor wife and family. They who love the gracious Giver of all their worldly ad vantages—the only safe foundation of enduring happiness —will gladly make the worthy poor partakers of the funds, &c., they set apart for the purposes cf hospitality and en tertainment. They will respect the heevenly command, and will become partakers of the transcendent blessings consequent on its fulfilment. THE GRAND BANQUET GIVEN BY THE CINQUE PORTS TO THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON. The Kent Tories, some two years ago, got up an affair which they miscalled a "grand banquet in honour of the Duke of Wellington," and which they further stated to be "given " by the Cinque Ports to their illus trious Warden. The matter was a gross imposition upon public credulity, for the purpose of obtaining a pal. try party advantage at the public expense. It failed of its object ; it not only failed as a party demonstration, but was soon known to have involved its projectors in consi derable loss. This was mortifying . « Loss of fame, Although it grieved them sore, Yet loss of pelf, full well I ween, Has grieved them ten times more." The tradesmen who supplied the delicious viands and costly wines, and appropriate decorations of the pavilion, have been anxiously concerned to obtain payment of their demands, large balances of which re main unliquidated. Last week the clerk to the Town- Council of one of the Cinque Ports informed the assem bled functionaries at their meeting, that he had been served with a writ of summons for a considerable sum claimed as their quota of deficiency due for the said Wellington banquet. The functionaries looked dis mayed. They had no funds at their disposal for such purposes ; and seemed to express by their rueful coun tenances the regret they felt that so glorious a feast should produce so sorrowful an after-reckoning. We un derstand that the writ served is the commencement of pro ceedirga which are to be followed by actions against all those of the Cinque Ports which concurred in the project, and sent deputies to the banquet, if upon the forthcoming trial the plaintiff succeeds in fixing the port selected for the experiment. In the meantime, 't is fair to ask whether the entertain ment thus prepared for the Duke of Wellington was an honour or an insult? Would the Duke have condescended to grace the scene with his presence, or have lent his name to give eclat to the ‘‘ grand banquet," could he have anticipated that the tradesmen who supplied the good things for the occasion would have been bilked of their claims by those who invited him to partake of their hospi tality ?—Evening Paper. BREAD TAX. TO THE EDITOR Of THE SUN. Sta,—ln the leading article of your journal, nearly a month ago, you stated that the evil inflicted on society by the bread-tax, and its injustice, were such that it ought to be resisted, and you seemed to regret that no way per - vented itself by which it could be resisted, un l e ss by the wealthy merchants and shipowners. At the very time when the opi , :ion was given by you there issued from the pleas, in the West Riding of York shire, a pamphlet on the subject called " Daily Bread, or Taxation without Representation Resisted, being a pl in for the Abolition of the Bread-tax," by one of the million,* showing clearly the way by which a successful resistance might be made by the people themselves. In the populous districts of Lancashire and Yorkshire the pamphlet is obtaining a very extensive circulation, and creating a deep interest, and measures are in the course of progre's for putting the plan in practice. Its legality is ungurstionable—this is admitted on all hands. The Anti-Corn-law Circular has said of it, " The plan is at once bold, startling, yet perfectly legal." Even the Morning Chronicle has admitted, " For aught i t appears the przeess would be perfectly legal." Again it says, , t Whatever th e w i sdom, justice, or expediency of any one step of the process each is yet free from the charge of unlawfulness. The proposition is legal, and it is entertained." The Morning Chronicle does more than admit the legality c f the plan, f or i t afterwards says, " Analogous experiments have heyn tr cd on former ot:s These experiments won a place in . . . Th , s'y were scout rl with great super ciliousts, but they (:id the work•"t I have the means of furnislaiog you with a copy of a letter on the subject from the author of " Daily Bread" to a member of the Lcague, the whole or part of which appears to me suited for publication in The Sun.

The letter re ferred to by our C , rresoondent is too long for our columns at present.—. FD qUN London publisher, Effingham Wilson. t Morning Chronicle, April 13. EDITORIAL CORRECTIONS.—A Devonport paper contains a letter referring to the British Asseciation with a postscript correcting erroneous statements as to tLe time of their meeting. It is thus printed •—" P. S. As inaccurate statement s hava appeared in some of the news papers respecting the time of meeting at Plymouth, it is right to,announce that th e C ouncil has finally determined t h at the opening shall be on the 90q: ( !!) cf July, and to close on the 4th of August." FOOD AND HEALTH. (From an excellent Address of the Carlisle Anti-Corn. 1 awAssociation : ) But there is a point of view in which, so far as they are aware, this great question' has not been sufficiently looked at. Urgent and immediate as has been the pressure of these unjust laws upon the commercial prosperity of this kingdom, and deeply felt as has been the injury inflicted by them upon the moral as well as the physical condition of the people, the arguments for their repeal have been drawn too exclusively from an abstract consideration of their impolicy and their injustice; and the very wretched ness engendered by their continuance has thus been over shadowed, and in part concealed, by the means which are employed for its removal. Closely examined, however, this question presents a much more serious aspect than any under which the advocates of monopoly are disposed to recognise it. No longer a matter of mere traffic, affecting the supposed interests of the landlord, on the one hand, and that of the manufacturer on the other, but assum ing the grave character of a question of life or death, it is time that its merits should be fully appreciated ; and, as no language of theirs could do justice to a subject of so much importance. your Committee, appealing to public sympathy, and to the common sense of their fellow citizens, beg to submit to your notice the followirg im pressive observations, entitled as they are to an unquali fied acceptation, from being the unbiassed results of a purely scientific inquiry. They aro not extracted from a work written for the purpose of advocating either this or any other question of political economy, but occur incidee tally in a treatise addressed exclusively to medical men, by Dr. Bisset Hawkins, a physician, who is eminently dis tinguished for his intimacy with subjects of vital statistics. " Every endeavour," says the writer; " should be used, by those who have the means of influencing the movements of nations to increase the supply of food. " From the wonderful activity of the p rinci ple of pope. lation we are bound to deduce the expediency, not of mul tiplying checks, which already press but too heavily : but of removing that obstacle which is moat opposed t o th e multiplication of the species, and to i ts happi ness an d health—namely, the difficulty of obtaining nourishment. It has been justly observed, that, until the world is already fully peopled, and until all its fertile soils are cultivated, the problem would appear to be not how to diminish, but how i to disperse ; not bow to lessen the number of con sumers, but how to increase the means of subsistence ; not to keep out of life by anticipation the multitudes ready to inherit it, but to place them in the situations most ad vantageous for their reception, and, in short, most hospit able to the new corner." The price of corn has a most remarkable influence on the movements of population and disease. We have not a sufficient number of data co enable us to estimate the exact amount of its influence, but we shall assuredly not be mistaken in classing it amongst the most energetic causes which press on the operations of life. This influ ence extends not only upon deaths, but upon births; it affects also the number of marriages, of diseases, and even of crimes. " Variations in the price of corn, then, form one of the most serious changes which can occur on the surface of a State ; they may insensibly lead to the most unexpected, the most formidable results; and we may affirm with con.. Hence, that one of the most important duties of a Go vernment, is to temper and to diminish, as far as is possi ble, all the circumstances which promote these fluctua tions in the pike of the most necessary article of bit which man can purchase. " Life and death mainly depend on the prosperity of the circumstances which surround us; physical prosperity and moral happiness, which often depend and re-act upon each other, present a safeguard at every crisis of existence both to individuals and to nations. We may often judge with tolerable accuracy of the mortality which is likely to exist in any given country, town, or hospital, from the de gree in which poverty or wealth, knotvledge, or igno rance, misfortune or success, are seen to prevail " Wherever want and misery exist, there the mother is more likely to die in labour, there still-births will be more frequent, there deaths during infancy will be more nume rous, there epidemics will rage more violently, there reco veries from disease will be more tedious, and the fatal ter.. mination of it more probable, and there also will death usually approach at an earlier period of life than in hap.. pier situations." As a slight illustration of the principles here set forth, the Committee are tempted to lay before the Association the subjoined tabular compari , on, exemplifying in Carlisle tho relation between the mortality and the proportionate amount of distress in the years 1839 and 1840. Assuming the demand upon the poor•rate to be a fair cr:terion of the amount of distress, and comparing this in each year with the number of deaths, the following results present themselves : Deaths. Poors'-rate. 1839 1840 Having thus endeavoured to direct your attention to considerations, which they humbly trust are calculated to awaken a deeper interest in the prospects of your design, and a more earnest desire for its accomplishment, your Committee cannot conclude their present act of duty with out finally calling upon their fellow-countrymen in the name, not only of this Association, but of the millions whom the existing Corn-laws have fore-doomed to degra dation, to unite in a cordial and energetic demand for their repeal.

DEATH FROM CARBONIC ACID. The daily journals have already made the public aware of the deplorable event at the School of Phar mpTraheciplyaorriisanea n P is aris, whi c h cost M. Hervy his life. He was some appn carbonicatuswhich ae is id cop in m it o s se l d iqu o i l d tw fo o rm ey , lin in . dries! reservoirs, of about the thickness of two centi metres, with an interior diameter of from eight to ten centimetres. Each of those cylinders had an interior space of about four litres. The carbonic acid was produced by the action of sulphuric acid on the bicarbonate of soda, which were introduced simultaneously into ene of the cylinders. A communi cation was then established between this first cylinder and the other, and the clrbonio acid passed into the second cylinder by distillation. In the first cylinder remained a residue, consisting of sulphate of so d a, which was ta:ten out to replace it by a new suppl y , in order to obtain a determinate quantity of the liquid carbonic acid ; a quantity which, as we have seen, m a y be raised to four litres. The first cylinder is supported on two trunnions, which keep it in equilibrium, and allow an extensive degree of oscillation. It was at the moment when M. Hervy was balancing the cylinder on the trunnions, to effect the mixture of the acid with the soda, that the explosion took place. At this moment there was no one near except M. Hervy and a friend who was assisting him. The latter was thrown down by the explosion, but was not struck by any fragment of the machinery. Not so M. Hervy. The apparatus was on the floor of the room, and the whole effect of the explosion was directed against his legs, which were cruelly mutilated, so as from the commencement to hold out little chance of saving his life. Amputation of one of the limbs was performed next day, and in three days more this unfortunate vic tim to science had ceased to exist. The explosion was accompanied by a frightful noise, and considerable injury to the apartment. It is almost , unnecessary to add, that this experiment will not again be attempted in connection with the public lectures.— Journal de Pharnzacie. The ',cluster Express contains an account of a murder which was perpetrated at Ballygorman, Queen's county, on Thursday last, adjoining the demesne of Lam berton. A young man, named Byrne, about 23 years of age, was fired at, from behind a heegQ, and shot through the body. He shortly after expired. The only cause assigned is that his father evicted a defaulting tenant, LAW INTELLIGENCE. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, APRIL 19. OTTEY V. PENSAM. The VICE-CHANCELLOR said the motion appeared to him to be altogether an afterthought, and therefore he should dismiss it with costs. ASTON V. GLOVER. This was a motion to restraintheiUstitut;on of proceed ings of law against the estate of the late Duke of Marl borough by one of the creditors. The present suit had been instituted to administer the estate, and it appeared that the whole of the amount which had come to the hands of the executrix, Miss Wilda Glover, was about 1,1001. From this fund, she stated, certain law charges had been incurred, which she claimed to have deducted, leaving a balance of only 29/. that had been paid into Court. The VICE-CHANCELLOR made the order. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, APRIL 20. YEWENS V. OSBA LDISTON-SADLER'S WELLS THEATRE. The ATTORNEY -GENERAL moved in this ease for a rule to show cause why the verdict for the defendant should not be set aside and a new trial had. The case was tried before Air. Jus tice Williams at the sittings after last term, and the question for their Lordships' consideration was, whether a Jury could by their vedict repeal a penal Act which they disapproved of. It was an action brought under the statute 10th Geo. 11., chap. 28, for representing characters upon the stage of an un licensed theatre, and there were counts for causing these re presentations to take place on an unlicensed stage. Upon the law of the case there could be no dispute, for it was settled in a case between these very 'parties, as reported in 2d volume of Carington and Payne's Reports, p. 67, where the present plaintiff filed a bill against the defendant for the specific per formance of an agreement to enter into partnership in such a theatre. The defendant insisted that it was illegal under the present Act of Parliament, and the Vice-Chancellor, and afterwards the Lord Chancellor, gave judgment that the agreement was illegal because the 10th Geo. 11. was still in force, and no agreement to represent theatrical pieces in such a theatre was legal, and could not be enforced. There were two classes of counts, one which related to acting, and the other causing to be represented; and with regard to the latter he should say nothing, because, although the evidence was clear, still there was an inference to be left to the Jury, and it was for them to come to a decision upon the facts so left to them. But with regard to the other class of counts it was proved at the time that there was at Sadler's Wells, in the pa rish of Clerkenwell, a theatre where plays were publicly acted in a regular manner. Among others, Shakspeare's plays, and there were witnesses who had been present, and followed the performances from the books. It was proved that the de fendant Osbaldiston was the manager, that he gave out the parts, superintended the rehearsals, and was present on Satur days when the actors were paid their weekly salaries. Of al: that there was direct and positive evidence, and unless there was an inflexible rule that where the Jury actually miscon ducted themselves, by finding a verdict in a penal action con trary to the evidence and the summing up of the Judge, that such a verdict must stand, then he humbly submitted that the Court must grant him a rule. Mr. Osbaldiston was not only the manager but an actor, and he acted among other characters those of Macbeth and Virginius, two witnesses having deposed that they saw him perform these parts from beginning to end on several nights. It was shown that the public regularly at tended the theatre, that play bills had been ',sued, and money taken, and ah the circumstances usually attendant upon these performances. Their Lordships would see that in that case there was direct and positive evidence. It might be said—and he was ready to allow it elsewhere—that the law upon the sub ject was not in a very satisfactory state, and he was glad to find that a Noble Lord had given notice of his intention to bring the matter under the consideration of the Legislature. But that was for the Legislature, and it was the duty of a Jury merely to enforce the law; and if their Lordships would look at the 10th Geo. 11., chap. 28, sec. 2, they would find it ex pressly enacted, that if any person should without authority or Licence act or represent, * orcause to he acted or represen t e d, f or hire, gain, or reward, any interlude, tragedy, comedy, or any part or parts thereof, every person for such offence should forfeit the sum of fifty pounds, one half to go to the in former and the other to the poor of the parish. Now that Act remained in full force at the present time, and there were se veral cases on the subject, Prince v. Chapman, Levi v. Yates and others. It was admitted that the theatre was was unli censed, for even the Lord Chamberlain could not grant a li cence unless in a parish where the Sovereign resided. In the present case, therefore, it was clear that the jury had miscon ducted themselves, and unless they were to be vested with an irresponsible power, he apprehended relief would be afforded him by their Lordships. It was laid down that in penal cases, even where there was misdirection of the Judge, the Court could not interfere to grant a ne v trial, but where there was a wilful violation of the law on the part of the jury, the Court was bound to interfere. In Brooi: v. Middleton, 10th East, it was laid down that in a penal action there should not be a new trial, even where the verdict was against the evidence, but that was only in a case where there was a question for the jut y, and where they drew an inference which might be wrong, but yet an honest one. In Rolton and Eccleston, 2d Chitty, it was laid down that the Court could not interfere unless where there was misconduct on the part of the jury ; but, in the present case, there was not only misconduct, but gross misconduct, and the present was the only mode in which they could be reached, otherwise it would be in the power of a jury in every case to set the law at defiance. The Cousvr, after some deliberation, granted the rule for a new trial. AULBON V. HAYMAN.—LOAN SOCIETIES. Mr. PLATT moved in this case for a rule to show cause why a nonsuit should not be entered by leave of the Learned Judge. It was an action purporting to be brought by the plaintiff, as trustee of the Star Loan Society, being an institution esta blished for the loan of money pursuant to the statute. The case was he and before LordDenman at the London sittings, and a verdict was had for the plaintiff, for 41. on the first count, and for the defendant in the other two. It appeared that, in May, 1839, John Hall applied for a loan of si. for twelve months, and the defendant became his surety, they giving their joint and several promissory notes for the payment of the money—the declaration then alleged the non-payment of the money. On the trial, the father of the plaintiff deposed that three trustees were appointed, two of whom had resigned, leaving the plaintiff sole trustee. The Learned Counsel con tended that the appniPArnent of the plaintiff being by parole was not a good app',lntruent, and secondly, that he could not legally sue, being at the time an infant under age. The Couivr thought there could be no objection to vesting property In a party appointed trustee by paro:e ; but with re gard to the plaintiff being an infant, they were of opinion that there ought to be a rule.—Rule granted. ANDERTON V. CHAPPER. Mr. ALEXANDER moved in this case for a rule to show cause why the verdict for the plaintiff with 100/. damages, should not be set aside and a new trial had. It was an action for crim con. tried before Mr. Baron Maule, at the Liver pool Assizes, and his application was grounded upon the total absence of evidence to prove the plaintiff's ewe, and that the verdict was against the direction of the Learned Judge. The plaintiff was the proprietor of the Thorn Inn, at Burn"ey, and it was proved in evidence that he waa in the habit of beating his wife—that he was of drunken and dissipated habits, and was at present a vagrant, nobody knowing where he resided. The defendant was a cabinet-maker, and also a married man, and there was evidence to show that he had been in the habit of frequenting the Inn in the absence of the plaintiff, and that he was on familiar terms with the plaintiff's wife, but he denied that there was any evidence of a criminal intercourse having taken place. The Learned Gentleman then read the evidence of one or two of the wit nesses, servants who were in the employment of Mrs. Anderton, of a very suspicious nature, and submitted that he was entitled to the rule prayed for : _ Lord DE;I3I - AN said he would have been rather surprised if the Jury had found any other verdict after such evidence, hut on the ground that the damages were rather large, he should grant the rule for a new trial. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said there were one or two cases from Lancashire in the Crown paper relative to the maintenance of prisoners, but as a new Act was at present under the consideration of Parliament in reference to that sub ject, he prayed that they might be allowed to stand over for the present. The COURT ordered the cases to be postponed. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, APRIL 20. EAST V. JEWELL. This action was brought under the 6th of Edward VI., to recover treble value for not setting out tithes. It was tried before Lord Denman at the late assizes for Kent, when a ver dict passed for the defendant. THESIGER now moved for a rule nisi to set aside the verdict, and for a new trial, on the grounds of misdirection, the improper reception of evidence, and that it was against the evidence. The Learned Gentleman said the action was brought not to recover the treble value ; the plaintiff 143 only anxious to settle the question of whether there had been - a composition, as set up by several landowners, or not. The evidence for the plaintiff made it clear that he was the lessee of the tithes under the chapter of Rochester, and that he had been in the habit cf receiving 12s. per acre for wheat, and 9s. for Lent corn, but that it was by special agreement and valua tion from year to year. he defence set up was that from 1537 to 1839 there had been a composition, but in that they totally failed. However, his Lordship left it to the Jury to say whether there had been a composition, and if so they ought to find for the defendant, without, at the same time, calling their attention to the fact, proved by both sides, that there had been a yearly valuation, and that in fact the plaintiff had taken just what he could get. The Jury was a common one, and they were not, in general, favourable to tithe-owners ; wicordingly they found for the defendant at once, clearly against the evi dence in the case. Lord ABINGER—You are entitled to your rule upon the ground of the verdict being against evidence. Rule nisi granted. BOULTON V. SNAPE. This was an action upon a guarantee bond for 8,0001., upon which 3,9-18/. had been advanced to the Leamington Joint Stock Bank which failed in 1837. It was tried before Lord Abinger at the late assizes held at Warwick, when a verdict was found for the plaintiff.. Mr. HILL now moved for a rule nisi to enter the verdict for the defendant, to enter a non-suit, to reduce the verdict in various instances, or for a new trial. The Learned Gentle man went at considerable length into a history of the transac tions of the bank, but before he concluded his statement he was interrupted by Lord ABINGER, who said the case was a Very complicated one, but the facts might be easily agreed upon—in his opinion it would greatly facilitate the ends of justice if they were to turn them into a special case. He had very full notes, and if they could not agree upon the facts, let each side send in their statement to him and he would settle the case for them. This suggestion was adopted. muscitame V. THE LANCASTER AND PRESTON RAJ' Mr. CRESSWELL moved for a rule nisi for case, which was an action t c o ° r ' e i c P o A v N er Y t . he -WAY to the defendants to carry. It be: . - fig it was tried at the late "ca - aloe of a box intrusted Rolfe, when a verdict was directed to Derbyshire Land" assizes before Mr. Baron '. fout ' id for the plaintiff. It appeared ybsh ir e r , eedai N e N th i that the p\lvacionttiffip,.:.lioeiritrab up and sent t stone-mason out of work in Lan mother made and del having settled, an h t i . s cashire, ormed that it wouldr where, h c a: ox in question to one of the sta tml ilo o et t i h vs e od r fs oi:0r 2::xed if it would go any soone r if im in three days. She ' and was informed no, and she did she paid the carriage, was l es t, The Learned Gentle not pay it. The box that as the Railway Company professe m d an to now contended be b carriers only between Lancaster and Preston, they were not thing intrusted to them beyond those point Hail they con tracted to carry the box beyond Preston ,by taking ment for the whole distance, he admitted they would have been liable. The Company was differently placed f rom the case a mail coach. In the ease of the London and Edinburgh of mail, the parties professed to carry the whole Way:anbduragtl: though there might be two or three changes on the road t i n goods in London must be held I' ' 8 the parties receiving the table but here the Railway Company were merely carriers from L an , caster to Preston—they pretended to be no more — and he contended were liable no further. The CouaT had much doubt upon the subject, but as th e question was important, they would grant the rule. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, APRIL 20. SCHOLBRIDGE V. WARD. CLERK. This was an issue directed under an appeal against a deci sion of the Tithes Commutation Commissioners. The plaintiff set up that the commutation was excessive, in- THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDA Y, APRIL 21. 1841 asmuch as the lands of the parish (Tenterden) and the Weald of Kent were distinguished in two classes, upland and town land, for the latter of which there had been an established modus of 4d. tithe per acre. At the trial the Judge stated his opinion to the Jury, that the modus had not been proved, and the verdict accordingly was found for the defendant. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL now obtained a rule nisi for a new trial on the ground of misdirection. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, APRIL 19. IN RE PETER EARRIS ABBOTT, LATE AN OFFICIAL ASSIGNEE Proceedings under the fiat sent down from the Lord Chancellor, directed against the party described as a mer chant, were commenced this morning, but in the absence of counsel to support it, Mr. Auderdon attending on the part of Mr. Abbott to oppose its opening, the matter stands adjourned to Wednesda) next. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT.—APRIL 19 , John Attride was opposed by Mr. Woodroffe for a Mr. Gloucester. It appeared that some time back the insolvent had mad e an affidavit in this Court as surety to b►il a person name I William Milton, and therein had sworn himself worth up wards of 1,3001. ; he li,.d described himself as a licensed victualler and livery stable keeper, and set forth that Ipy had property in Addle.hill, Doctorsi-eemmons, The Learned Counsel now asked him whether the convents of that affidavit were true? The insolvent admitted that the statements in the affida vit were not the truth. He had been told that the affida• vit was a mere form, and he made it to oblige Mr. Milton. He had no property, and he now owe d 3111 . The Learned Commissioner BOWEN, after some severe animadversions on the conduct of the insolvent, adjourne 1 the hearing of the ease for the attendance of the detaining creditor. He should take the opinion of the other Learned Commissioners, whether such a person as the insolvent could be believed on his oath, and whether his petition should not be di.q.nissed. Robert Wood Ashdown, prcprietor of the Leicester Saloon, was opposed by Mr. Woodroffe for Mr. Jessop, He was supported by Mr. Cooke. The insolvent had been three times discharged under the Act. He did not remember any dividend having been paid to his creditors under former insolvencies. There was nothing for them now. The COURT, after some discussion about the premises called the Leicester Saloon, adjourned the case for the Saloon to be given up to the creditors. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. CHuncit-rates.-11lr. George Simmons, of 203, Upper Thames -street, appeared before Messrs. Magnay and Fare brother, the sitting Aldermen, on a summons granted at the instance of the Churchwardens of the parish of St. Mary's, to show cause why he refused to pay the sum of 13s. 4d fur Church-rates. The Churchwarden being- sworn stated, that he called se• veral times on the defendant, who refused to pay as he was n •t a member of the Church of England, and also expressed dis approbation of the manner in which the money was expended. Mr. Alderman FAREBKOTHER said, that whatever might be Mr. Simmons's private opinions, he (Mr. Alderman Fare brother) was bound to administer the law as he found it. Even supposing their feelings of opposition to Church-rates were the same, there was no means by which he could avoid making an order for the payment of the claim. The defendant said that the salaries paid to the different offi cials about tile church were exorbitant, and if he were obliged to pay this claim now, he would have no future means of appealing against these abuses. _ _ Mr. Alderman MAcisrAy said Mr. Simmons could keep a watehfnl eye over the proceedings of the vestry, which he sup posed was open to the parishioners. He agreed with his brother Alderman that they should make an order for the claim. BOW-STREET. John Burches, a cabman, was charged under the fol lowing circumstances : . Mr: Everett, a cab-proprietor, stated that, having received information that the prisoner was driving one of his vehicles about, and was ill-using the horse, and haying no authority from him to be driving it, he went to several stands to find him ; and, after searching about, he at last found him in Pall-mall East. Having followed him for some time, and observinn. his improper conduct, he at length called a police-constable. and gave him into custody, when he found he had been driving about for upwards of three hours _ _ Vie proper driver said he left the prisoner in charge of his master's property while he went to get some refresh. merit. In answer to the Magistrate, the defendant said he was a licensed driver, which he proved. Mr. HALL, on looking at the Act of Parliament, said that the fact of the defendant being a licensed driver, there was no clause by which he could act summarily in the case, hut he had the power of ordering him to find bail to answer the charge ac the Sesions, for having violated an Act of Parliament, if Mr. Everett would un dertake to prosecute. The prosecutor said he would, upon which the defend. ant put in bail, and the parties left the office. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. James Connor, an elderly labouring man, Catherine his wife, and Mary Murphy, a pretty-looking young woman, were placed at the bar before Mr. LONG, the presiding Magistrate, on the following charge : Police-constable No. 94, of the F div,sion, stated that, about five o'clock yesterday evening, he was called to No. 15, Stacey street, St. Giks's, where he heard vi o l en t s h r i e k s an d cr i eJ o f murder proceeding from the upper part of the house, and, on entering the back attic, he found the prisoner Catherine Con nor lying struggling on the bed, with her clothes torn nearly entirely from off her person, and her husband, who was holding a knife in his hand, threatening to mur der her. The prisoner Murphy was also beating and scratching her about the face. Witness approached the bed to rescue her, when Connor, uttering au oath, raised his arm, and was in the act of stabbiog his wife, but witness caught him by the sleeve, and after a desperate strugg!e suc ceed, din wresting the knife from him, upon which they al attacked him, struck him several violent blows, and at length threw him down stairs. With the assistance, however, of two policemen, he succeeded in consigning all the prisoners to the station-house. From the account of the landlady of the house jealousy was the cause of the uproar. The MAGISTRATE remanded Connor, and fined the two women ss. each for assaulting the police. HATTOA-GARDEN. George Hitchcock, an errand -boy, was brought up, charged with having stolen a small piece of silver, the property of Mr. Hedges, a gold and silver chain-maker, in Clerkenweli. The complainant stated that he had missed a great deal of silver and gold latterly, and one week his loss amounted to nearly 4t., and, in order to find out the offender, he had placed the above piece of silver, which was only valued at about three • pence, on the desk where the prisoner had to sit, and in an hour afterwards it was gone, and, or, searching the prisoner, it was found upon him. On being asked what he had to say, the prisoner acknow ledged having taken one piece of gold previous to the trans action, which he had sold to a gold-refiner, but his master would acknowledge •that he had frequently given him pieces of gold and silver that he had found about the premises. Mr. Hedges said that he had done so, and the Magistrate said that he had no doubt but the boy had been led into this offence by the gold-refiner, whoever he was, to whom he had sold the metal, and on the prisoner promising to give his master all the information he could as to that person, and others, if he knew any, he would discharge him. SHOCKING AND FATAL OCCURRENCE.— Last Friday the Reverend Robert Quinn, clergyman of the Scotch Presb j terian Church of a'ermoy, had come to town for the purpose of attending the consecra tim of the new Scotch Church it, Queer -street, and while standing on the footway outside M.lvers' Hotel, in Patrick_street, talking to a friend, at about half-past three ~'clock, p.m., 3 horse, ridden by a boy of about twelve or thirteen years of age, rushed furiously forward from a din ctly opposite direction, and dashed with such violence against the Rev. Mr. Quinn, that he was driven against the w4l of the hotel with a force that instantly brought the blood bubbling from his mouth and nose in torrents ; his rebound from the wall threw him to the ground, where he fell across the cheek -stone of the footway, and when taken up was quite dead ! One of the runners at the coach office adjacent, who said he was standing by at the time, said he saw the horse roll over the ill-fated gen tieman, and when rising placed his knee or hoof on his chest; but on examination no mark of that sort, nor in deed any external wound whatever, appeared on the body Dr. Montague Smith, who was approaching the scene of this sad eatastrephe in an opposite direction from that which the horse took, and havirg seen the animal's furious pace, rushed forward, saw Mr. Quinn prostrate ) and had him instantly brought into the public room or the hotel, where he and Dr. Delany opened veins in the deceased'; arm, but he yi doled only a few drops of blood, and the slight pulsation in his wrist and the tremulous beating of his heart, which were felt when he was first brought in, then ceased for ever. A great crowd of respectable per sons was in the room in a very few minutes, amongst the first of whom we saw several medical gentlemen, who did all that medical or surgical skill could do to restore anima tion ; but all their efforts were in vain, fur the unfortunate gentleman was dead when first removed from the street. An additisnal feature of melancholy is added to tills awful and fatal accident, by the fact th;a the wife of tab ceased has suffered this bereavement under the painful cir cumstance of having become a mother, for the second time, but a fortnight before, and was married but two years. An inquest wa s h e ld soon afterwards. whhn the Jury f oun d that deceased's d eat h h a d b ee accidental, caused by a horse, the p ro p erty of Ala. Tobin, with a deodand of 201. on the horse.

On M on d a y everi ; ng l ast h e was going alo ng Cot kspur-atreet, w h en hi s h orse too k fright and gallopped oliat a furious rate. The decased endeavoured to stop the progress of the animal, but without stkeeess and at length the off wheel came in contact with an omnibus, and the deceased was thrown off his box several yards into the road. He was conveyed in an insensible state to the house of Mr. Fincham, surgeon, of Spring-gardens, who atiVi; , ed his removal to Charing-cross Hospital, where be received prompt medical attendance, but the injuries were of so severe a nature that he lingered ur.til Saturday, when he died.
