E V ENING EDITION SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF SATURDAY.) (From the Globe.) The Seolsouni, after citing our comments on state .uents sent us by correspondents respecting Dr. Bow rinz and the Kirkcaldy election, proceeds as follows : " Our Contemporary has been deceived by his corre spondents ; and it is but justice to Dr. Bowring to Lay that we are able to contradict the statement on good authority. We believe that Dr. Bowring never met, or had any communication with Colonel Lind say. We are informed that the Doctor and his la.- mediate friends kept carefully aloof from intercourse %lilt' the Tories, directly or indirectly, and did not know, except from rumour, how they would vote." We have already inserted Dr. Bowring's entire denial of the al leged " communications ;'' and as we have not been to obtain from the source of the statements inserted any confirmation of them, we are bound to believe we were misinformed, and ascribe the misinformation to the natural readiness of parties in election contests to accredit any rumours against their opponents. We are certain that the supposed facts were communicated in good faith to us ; and they were not so unparalleled by those of some other recent contests, as to stagger belief. We cannot, however, hesitate to accept Dr. Bowring's word in the matter, even without the corroboration of the Scotsman :Ind its informants. And in the same degree that we regret having given too much credit to election-news (which rarely deserve more than bulletins, and for much the same reasons), we are glad to find that we are not to rank Dr. Bowring, to that extent, amongst those who play a Tory game for ostensibly Libera purposes. Our readers will perceive, from the preliminary discus sion of Thursday bight on Lord Morpcth's proposed qualiji. cation sad registration measure for Ireland, that ouranticipa .ions have been verified as to the probable unde -3 igned results of Lord Stanley's one-sided essay at purifying the present electoral body in that country. We adhere, indeed, to Lord Stanley's construction of the principle of the Reform Act. We agree with him in his understanding that " the right to vote should Llepend, not upon the gross amount of the population cf any town or county, but upon the number of that popu lation who were in possession of a certain amount of property, which property should enable them to hold such a station of respectability in society as might be expected to permit them to exercise the elective fran chise with honesty and independence." We wish Lord Stanley's present party had at that time per mitted his former friends to carry out that sound prin ciple, as regarded freemen and independent tenantry. Lord Morpeth justly remarked last night that, when he re :erred to the novel principle introduced by the 501. tenant at-will clause, in the English Reform Act, he owned that the practical working of that clause, as far as it had yet been developed, did not fill him with a wish to in troduce a similar principle upon a more extended scale into the constituency of Ireland ! The question is, whether Lord Stanley, and his present party, who, it appears, aro capable of introducing new principles, when they think it will suit their purposes, as they are capable of dis regarding old ones, when they have ceased to serve them, are entitled on this occasion to retort similar charges on the Government. We think not; and Lord Haw ick gave good and effective arguments for the same con clusion. It must be observed that Ministers are not wantonly meddling with this Irish suffrage question. The conflicting opinions of the highest authorities force it .rpon their attention. The pressing of Lord Stanley's Bill renders some legislation unavoidable. The question, then, is, whether legislation can be confined within the limits of that Bill. The Shylock style of " Justice and the Bond" does not suit political questions. Whatever legal doctrine may prevail on the present extent of the franchise, the Legislature, which fixed that extent, did not intend to diminish its numbers. If it appears that those numbers are diminishing—if Lord Stanley's measure, whatever its effect, would, in effect, still further diminish them —then Lord Stanley's intention in his Irish Re form wculd be frustrated by the passing of his Irish registration. He tells us his intention is already frus trated by the fraud and perjury practised under the Irish Bill, as it now works. We find that measure frustrated in another sense, by the dwindling numbers of voters, notwithstanding all these illicit practices. What remains then, if legislation is forced on us, but to remedy imper fections on both sides—imperfect securities against wrong, and imperfect securities for retaining rights? (From the Standard.) Lord Stanley's motion, relative to the detention of Mr. APLeod by the authorities of New York (fixed for Monday), will involve the discussion of some of the most important, and also some of the clearest and best understood principles of international law. Mr. M'Leod, it is known, is a prisoner in the gaol of Lockport, New York, awaiting his trial upon a charge of murder, said to have been committed in the cutting out of the Caroline, when that piratical vessel, employed by the pirates of Navy Island, was seized by the British. The unfortunate gentleman, who was Deputy-Sheriff of the Niagara district at the time of the pirate war in aid of the Canada rebellion, was not concerned in the cutting out of the Caroline ; but some Canadian traitors swear that he was ; and convicted he will be, and executed as a felon he will be, if the British Government do not vigorously interfere ; perhaps, indeed, the interposition may be oven now too late. This it is to have a weak and contemptible Government. At what other period in English history would any foreign State thus dare to outrage the law of nations in the person of a British subject ? negotiation, it is true, has taken place upon the subject of Mr. M'Leod's detention and danger, and the British :Minister has spoken with firmness and vigour ; but what is the worth of negotiation which is not to be fol lowed by acts ? The insolent pettifogging of the United States' Minister's reply is proof that he knows his men, and that, however conclusively Mr. Fox may reason, still the ruffians of New York are at liberty to hang the Englishmen without fear of consequences. What are Mr. Forsytl.'s arguments ? First, he says that the affair rests altogether with the State of New York—that the President has no power given bins by the American Constitution—to interpose between an independent State of the Union and a foreign Power. Ile it so. Then if New York provokes a quarrel with Great Britain by an act of atrocious outrage, New York must fight her own battles. Will the President consent to this ?—wiil he permit that as New York will not account to him for its con duct, New York shall go to war without his aid ? No. The law which gives to the Federal Govern ment the arrangement of all questions with foreigners ut eessarily involves the absolute and exclusive jurisdic tion over cases like that of Mr. M'Lcod, otherwise any ticular State might indulge itself in the most atrocious aggressions, without the consent of the Ft der a. G overn tavnt, and even against its ?will, but in full reliance ur on it: , support. Mankind could not long tolerate a V,rati cal nuisance like ibis, and the only consolation would be that it must soon fall to pieces by its own crimes. The first principle of international law is, tat a State is to protect those only whom it can cory.o-DI ; for it can be justly responsible for the acts only of those whom it can govern. (From the Courier.) Leave has been give', on the opplication of Mr. to bring : ..1 a Bill for the further regulation of rail vays, as tending to the public safety. This Bill will be founded on paper which has been presented to . I or,nament , s i gne d b y M r . P orter, Si r F . S m i th, an d N .„ Ir t Llitr who fo rm t h e R a il way d epartment o f t h e Doard, " Grade to execute the provisions of Lord Sey le's Act. This document is well calculated to impress Me..nbers with the necessity of a new Bill ; and we can b•,,ve little d ou b t b ut that a large majority of the House will be prepared to concur in whatever the Government proposes on this subject. In the recommendation s from the Railway D e p artment, the whole are drawn up so cautiously, that ;vs have some difficulty in ascerta i n i ng wiinther the intention be as advi ce to tha Companies to save the necessity of legislation, or for insinuating Government interference in the most trifling, and mi nute details. It certainly will be the fault of the Directors themselves if they allow the experience they have so lately received to pass unheeded, and without snaking such provision for the general conduct of their hues and the safety of the public, as to render pract - cally all powers of correction a dead letter. At the sam e ti me , as no exer tion on their parts will p - v4h a t a Bill of tha sort from passing through I arlid roPut, our advice would be for each Company to send to the C omm i t t ee appo i nte d at t h e Birmingham Co nference their opinions in writing on the different clauses of the Bill, a copy of which will be forwarded to each of them, so soon as it is printed, and leave the interests of the railways generally to their discretion. As the Bill is at present proposed, some of the clauses scam objectionable ; but they will best be met by die con• cantrated opposition of the Committee, aide i, if need b . e, by th e general force of the whole of the railway interest. SEVEN LIVES LOST.—On the night of Wed nesday se'nnight, a boat, with a crew of eight men, left the shore at Lackan to fish for herrings. Having been very successful, the unfortunate men were returning about eight o'clock, when, at the distance of a hundred yards from the shore, a wave broke over the boat, which instantly filled and sunk. Of the eight men who were in it, only one escaped, having seized an oar, and being a good swimmer, The expressions of grief uttered by one woman in parti. cular were truly heartrending —sh e had to lament the death of a husband, a father, and a brother.—Maye Con stitution. FATAL ACCIDENT AT CHERBOURG. --A fatal accident occurred at Cherbourg a few days since. Sixty sailors were passing over some planks, laid from the Fried land of the line to the quay in the dockyard, when this temporary bridge turned over on its side, and all were pre cipitated into the water. Some of their comrades from the ship immediately plunged in after them, and there were about 150 men struggling in the water at one and the sa't'e time, J ust at t hi s moment the p l an k s f rom a b ove slipped llpped f rom the i r ropes, and fell on the men in the water. On the roll b e i ng called over six men were missing, and It is supposed were drowned. Three corpses bad been tiwtd. LONGEVITY. —On Sunday last the funeral of an old man named Caseley, a bricklayer, took place at South ampton. lie was 90 years and six months old, and his pall was borne by six ancient bricklayers, whoie united ages ages amounted to 452 years ! A great number of the same trade followed him to the grave. LAW INTELLIGENCE. S:r Francis Burdett and his daughter Miss A. B. Coutts were seated on the bench. Lord ABINGEft took his seat on the bench at half . past nine o'clock, and the trial immediately commenced. It was an action by Mr. Dunn, a barrister, against the defendant, a gentleman residing near the Regent's Park, to recover damages for false imprisonment. The plaintiff conducted his case in person, and after a lung addreis to the Jury, in the course of which he stated that the defendant had given him into custody without any sufficient ground for so doing, called a policeman, who stated that in the month of June last, the defendant gave plaintiff into his custody on a charge of having knocked at his door and created a dis• turbance. Witness took plaintiff to the station-house, and afterwards before Mr. Itawlinson, the Magistrate, at Marylebone Police Office, by whom he was held to bail to keep the peace. Miss A. B. Coutts was next called, and after stating that she called at the house of the defen dant, followed by plaintiff, said the latter was given in charge by the former, in consequence of his insisting upon seeing her after she had entered the defendant's house. On her cross-examination by Sir FREDERICK POL. LOCK, she detailed at great length the annoyances to which she had been subjected by the plaintiff, and with which the public are fully acquainted. She then stated that on the day in question, she was walk ing in the Regent's Park, with a female friend, when she met the plaintiff, who again annoyed her with his importunities, and to get rid of him she went to the house of the defendant, a friend of her father's, where she obtained admittance, and informed him of the plaintiff's conduct towards her. She had been there but a short time, when the plaintiff knocked at the door, and insisted upon seeing her. The defendant endeavoured to persuade him to go away, and on his re fusing- to do so, gave him in charge to a policeman. The witness, after again alluding to the plaintiff's conduct to her, her having exhibited articles of the peace against him at the sessions, and other proceedings which she had been compelled to take in consequence, said that the con duct of plaintiff had created in her mind a feeling of dis gust and abhorrence towards him. Mr. Ravrlioson, the Magistrate, proved that the plaintiff was brought before him, in custody, on the charge above stated, and that he ordered him to find bail to keep the peace. The plaintiff wished Miss Coutts to be present at his examination, but he (wit ness) did not allow it, because plaintiff had said that if she were examined he would " work her guts for her." Sir F. POLLOCK addressed the Jury at great length on the part of the defendant. Tho Jury after a short consultation returned a verdic :or the defendant. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, FEN. 6. k Before Mr. Justice ERSKINE and a Special Jury) MEYERS V. STUBBS. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, to re cover from the defendant, a messenger of the Court of Bankruptcy, the value of a quantity of furniture illegally seized, and sold under a fiat of bankruptcy. This case has occupied the Court for two days. Mr. Thesiger, Mr. Sergeant Channel, and Mr. Chambers, conducted the plaintiff's case ; Mr. Fitz. roy Kelly, Mr. Humphreys, and Mr. Hoggins, repre sented the defendant. It appeared that the plaintiff was in the upholstering business, having an establishment for the manufacture of goods in Wentworth -street, Whitechapel ; and an other for the sale of them in Skinner -street, Snow-hill. In the early part of the year 1889, a person of the name of Edwards had received an order from a Mr. Godsell for the furnishing of the Torbay Tavern, at Greenwich, the amount of which exceeded 100/. Not being able to execute it himself, he brought it to the plaintiff, Meyers, who then took Edwards into his employment, and placed him as a manager over both his establishments. Edwards very soon became embarrassed, and was cast into prison, and filed his schedule, but was admitted out on bail. lie subsequently became a bankrupt in the month of Sep tember, 1839, and, not obtaining his certificate, he told his assignees, that so far from being Meyers' (the plaintiff's) agent and manager, that the establishments, and all they contained, belonged to him, under an agreement that he was to pay Meyers 20 per cent. Consequently the defendant, under the fiat, seized the goods in both the establishments and removed them for sale to auction rooms, and subsequently the greater part of them were removed to Edwards's residence, in Old-street, to sell them, as the agent of the assignees. On being seized th e pl a i nt iff offered an indemnity to the defendant which was refused. He then sent appraisers to value them in the auction rooms, and they were pre vented from doing so by the assignees, but they sent their own appraisers, who only valued them at 7601. For the plaintiff numerous witnesses were examined, who proved that the materials of the furniture were purchased and paid for by Mr. Meyers, the plaintiff, and Edwards was only his agent. For the defendant, Edwards was called who swore that the furniture was his under an agree ment, and that he was not the agent of Meyers ; but on his cross•examination he admitted that he stated so in the schedule filed in the Insolvent Court, and in a deposition of his sworn to before a Magistrate that he acted only as the manager and foreman of the plaintiff, Meyers, both of which were put in evidence ; but he now stated that what he had sworn before the Magis trate was false. Mr. 'FiII:SEGER having replied, the Jury said that they would not troble his Lordship to sum up the evi dence, as their minds were made up to find for the plaintiff ; but they begged to retire for a few minutes to calculate the interest and to make some little deductions. His LORDSHIP concurred in this verdict, and told them they could find for any sum which they thought was a fair compensation for the injuries sustained by the plaintiff. The Jury retired fur a few minutes found a verdiei For the plaintiff, damages 1,200/. BAIL COURT, FEM. 6. PARRY V. KELLY. FAILURE OF A THEATRICAL SPECULATION.—Mr. PLATT, for the plaintiff, seated that this action was brought by a comedian of considerable eminence in his profession, against the celebratenliss Kelly, an actress, of whom the jury must frequently have heard, for breach of contract. It was, perhaps, pretty generally known that the defendant, a few months since, with a view, as she stated, of restoring the purity of the drama, opened a threatre in Dean•street, Soho, under the usual li cense from the Lord Chamberlain. Bills were duly i.isued and publicly placarded, announcing her intention to open such theatre, and the object she had in view in so doing. It was also intimated that the Duke of De vonshire patronized her undertaking ; the 18th of May was fixed upon for the opening. It was, however, un avoidably delayed until the .sth, when it opened with The Sergeants' Wife and The Midnight hour. Be fore, however, proceeding thus far, it appeared the defendant engaged a company of performers, amongst whom the plaintiff, telling the ladies and gentlemen so engaged that she intended taking the theatre for two months as a speculation, and engaged them for that pe riod. Unfortunately the speculation proved a bad one, and Miss Kelly closed the theatre on the following Friday night, having kept it open three nights only. She announced thin determination on her part to the performers on the Fr:day night, and on the following clay the plaintiff, who had been engaged by the defend ant at a salary of 71. a week, was paid only 51. 165.8 d., that being the proportionate sum for the number of nights which the theatre had continued open ; and the defendant having refused to pay him his salary for the period for which she had engaged him, he was under the necessity of bringing the present action. The following witnesses were then called on the part of the plaintiff : William Bunn stated that, in consequence of instruc tions he received from the defendant, he introduced plaintiff to her, and she engaged him to perform at her theatre. He understood the engagement was for seven weeks. Cross-examined—Witness was a perfornae,and en gaged at defendant's theatre ; hisengagement the season. lie did not si g n any articles. 'r w h e as d f° : fendant told him she had taken the theatre merely as ' an oxperiment. Edward Tumour stated that he was a theatrical agent. The defendant applied to him in May last, stating that she was about to open a theatre in Dean- street, and requested ho would engage a company of per formers for her. She said she should want them for six or eight weeks only, as she was only going to open the theatre as an experiment. She afterwards told wit ness that she had engaged the plaintiff. Mr. Thompson, an actor, proved that he had pre pared the play-bills of the defendant's theatre, in which the plaintiff's name was mentioned as one of the per formers. Mr. Fairbrothcr, a printer, proved that be was em ployed by the defendant to print the bills in question. Mr. Morris Barnett proved that he was engaged at defendant's theatre for a definite period, but that the speculation not answering, she, after it had been opened three nights, called the performers together, and told them that the theatre would not be opened on the following evening, and that she had no further occasion for their services. Mr. M. D. HILL addressed the Jury for the defend ant, and contended that the defendant was not liable to the present action, she having fairly told all the per formers, at th e time she engaged them, that she had taken the theatr e merely as a speculation,—that she hoped to be able to keep it open for six weeks or two months, and if the speculation answered, she would, at the end of that time, give them all regular engage ments. The speculation failed, and she paid all the performers every farthing they could justly claim of her, viz., their salary for the number of nights they had performed. The plaintiff was paid in that way, and be COURT OF EXCHEQUER, FEn. 6. DUNN V. ALEXANDER. The trill of this cause excited the most extraordinary interest.

MONDAY, FEBRUARY P., IQ4I t flk the money without making any further demand, or s lying anything about n❑ engagement f‘or six weeks, or any other period._ The Le:trned Counsel did not call a❑y Witnesses. Mr. Justice COLERIDGE having summed up the ev dence, the Jury returned a verdict for the defendant. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. Richard Moore, aged 30, a person of very respect able appearance, was indicted for feloniously uttering a forged note of the Salop Bank for 51., well knowing the same to be forged, with intent to defraud Messrs. Glynn and Co. There were five indictments against the prisoner. Mr. Doane appeared as counsel for the prosecution, and Mr. Charles Phillips for the prisoner. Mr. Doane, after stating the facts of the case, called the following witnesses : Thomas Cooke stated that he lived at No. 358, Strand, and kept billiard rooms there. Witness knew the prisoner. He was at the rooms on the 31st of December last. He came in with a gentleman who was in the habit of frequenting the rooms. The pri soner played at cards till about three o'clock in the morning. At one time he had won money, but after wards continued to lose. The prisoner produced some country notes. Witness did not see any other person with such notes. In the course of the evening witness lent the prisoner 38/. in Bank of England and country notes, which had previously been paid to gentlemen in the room by prisoner. None of the country notes had been produced before the prisoner en tered the room. Witness lent the prisoner the money, and received an I. 0. U. for it. Prisoner gave his address, " Wright's Hotel, Strand." After the prisoner had left the rooms, a gentleman paid witness some 51. country bank notes, which he had taken from the prisoner. Witness gave cash for nine of them. He kept the notes until the following morning, when, in consequence ce: some information, he went to Messrs. Glynn and Co.'s, and afterwards to Messrs. Bush and Co., solici tors, where he found his wife was detained in custody. In the evening, the porter at Fricour's hotel, St. Mar tin's-lane, brought witness a letter from the prisoner. (The letter was here produced, and identified by the witness.) Witness went there afterwards with Forrester the officer, and the prisoner was then taken into cus tody. Cross-examined—Hi s house is not a gaming. house. It is not frequented by disreputable characters. Hazard and cards are played there. It was kept open all night. On the night in question the prisoner played at 100. Witness did not know the names of the gentlemen with whom the prisoner played. They were in the habit of frequenting his house, perhaps four nights in the week. They were not regular gamblers, to his knowledge. Believed people could cheat at 100. Had heard so. Never saw it done. Played that night and lost. The prisoner won at the beginning of the game, but after wards lost his winnings, and all the money he had be side. The prisoner lost 601. Witness was not in the habit of sitting down with the company to play. The prisoner left off play between three and four o'clock in the morning. He did not know the addresses of the gentlemen who played with the prisoner. Witness re ceived a letter from the prisoner in the morning, which he afterwards gave to Mr. Bush, the solicitor for the prosecution. It came by post. Mrs. Cooke, the wife of the last witness, stated that on the morning of the Ist of January her husband gave her five 5/., country bank notes to take into the City to get cashed. She took one of them to Messrs. Glynn and Co.'s, and got it cashed. Two others she took to Messrs. Barclay and Co.'s, and on requesting they would cash them she was detained. An officer (For. rester) was sent for, and she gave him the other notes. Mr. Jahn Neesom, a clerk to Messrs. Glynn, Hali fax, and Co.; Robert Davis, a clerk in the Salop Bank ; James Smith, a clerk in the Ross and Archenfield Bank ; and Mr. John Aldis, a clerk in the Yarmouth and Suf folk Bank, proved that the notes were forged. Daniel Forrester, the officer, stat e d th a t h e was sent for to the house of Messrs. Barclay and Co, on the let of January. He saw Mrs. Cooke there, and detained her, but afterwards went with her to her husband, from whom he received some .information. In the evening Cooke came to witness, and he and a man named Chap pell wont with witness to Fricour's Hotel. Witness saw the prisoner there in the coffee-room. Witness took him to a private room, and then told him that he was an officer, and that he apprehended him for passing forged notes. He said they were not forged, they were fictitious. Witness put him into a coach, and while there he said he had lost a great deal of money. He had been ruined, and had taken those steps to try to get it back. Chappell (who was a waiter at a gaming-house) said " We have had none of your money. You are a winner of us of 51." The prisoner replied, " No, only 41. 10s." Witness received from Mrs. Cooke two country bank-notes while she was at Messrs. Barclay and Co.'s. Mr. Bacon, of the firm of Messrs. Perkins and Co., engravers in Fleet-street, stated that he was in the habit of engraving country bank -notes. The note pro duced was engraved from one of his plates. It was an India proof taken from a genuine plate. It is usual to take impressions on India paper, and those intended for circulation were afterwards pasted on thin backs. The others, which were for specimens, were on India paper only.—( Witness here produced one of the notes on a thick paper back.) An India proof in the state in which it loft witness's office would not take ink. The note produced had originally been pasted on thick paper, which would make it stronger as well as take ink. It had been afterwards taken off the thick paper. By the Judge—When a new bank is about to be established, the parties send to engravers for specimens of notes. Those produced were, no doubt, specimens that had been sent from witness's office to some banker's who did not take care of them. Notes placed on thick backs could easily be separated from them afterwards. Since the present affair witness had never sent out any notes as specimens that were not stamped with the word " specimen." The letter the pr:soner sent to Mr. Cooke was here put io and relit. It acknowledged that the notes he had paid him the night before were fictitious, and ho had in ignorance taken them from an old school-fel low ; it cautioned Mr. Cooke against putting them in circulation, and promised to exchange them for good ones es soon as he was able. Mr. C. PIIILLII'S addressed the Jury at great length on the part of the prisoner, whom he described as member of a highly respectable family in Ireland, and said he had taken the notes question from a gentleman in payment of a bet, and that the day after the pri• soner had paid them away at the gaming -house, his friend informed him that the notes were fictitious, upon which he immediately wrote a letter to Mr. Cooke, cau tioning him against putting the notes in circulation. Mr. Justice CowlA:6 summed up the evidence, and the jury retired to consder their verdict. After an ab sence of an hour and a half, they returned into Court with a verdict of guilty, but recommended the prisoner to mercy on account of h s having endeavoured to pre vent the circulation of the notes immediately after he had put thorn off. Tho prisoner was again indicted for forging and utter ing two bank-notes, one for 10/. and the other for 5/., with intent to defraud the Directors of the Boston Bank. In this case the prisoner paid away the notes in a gaining -house in Liecester-square, where he lost, on the night he did so, ;JSO/. The Jury again returned a verdict of Guilty. Mr. Justice COLTMAN sentenced the prisoner to be ransported for fifteen years. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MAN SION-HOUSE. THE WEST MIDDLESEX ASSURANCE COMPANY.— Sir Peter Laurie came to the Justice Room while he Lord Mayor was sitting, and called his Lordship's attention to a great number of written and verbal com munications which he had received on the subject of the atrocious frauds which he stated from the chair of the Mansion-house, a short time ago, had been committed by the individuals who called themselves " The Inde pendent West Middlesex Fire and Life Assurance Com pany." Since he had made that exposure as a Mag;s trate of the City, a vast deal of information had come to his knowledge relative to the conduct of the manager of the concern, principally through the medium of the sufferers, and he was compelled to declare, that in all his experience of wholesale villany, he never had heard of any frauds which bore comparison with those prac tised by the fellows who conspired together to rob of their whole means of support a great number of indus trious and aged and debilitated men and women. The LORD MAYOR asked whether the cases of the persons who had been so plundered were in the hands of solicitors, or whether the managers of the Dompany wesreirtio,. u be found ? replied that the houses of Farquhar and Co., in Broad -street, and of Bigg and Co., at the \Vest-end of the town, were engaged by a number of the claimants ; but he believed the directors and mana gers of the company were on the Continent. He had every reliance upon the energy and ability of these solid citors, who, he supposed, had got hold by this time of some property which had been purchased in the Edge ware-road, to the amount of some thousands, by one of the directors, with part of the money which had been received from some of the unfortunate annuitants. From what he had beard from Mr. Farquhar, lie had every reason to suppose that before the partners took flight they shared considerably above 250,000/., and he be. lieved that the annuitants who hail paid in most of that money were many of them rendered completely des titute by the insolvency of the mock establishment. The LORD MAYOR feared that, under existing cir cumstances, the office of a Magistrate, as regarded the parties accused, could not be made available beyond the mere unlimited exposure of the transaction, in which he knew the press wonld most willingly assist. Sir PETER LAURIE suid that he would read a letter which he had just that moment received from a gentle man of Cheltenham. It was nothing in comparison with some communications which he had received in the course of the last fortnight, but it would serve to give some idea of the villany of the transactions, which had in some instances, he had been assured, caused deatl: sliivido, and in others by broken hearts. It was a follows : " Sir—Having seen by the papers the interest you have so laudably evinced relative to the West Middle. sex Assurance Company, thus by your influential opi nion warning others from becoming victims to establish inents carried on under such fraudulency, I, as one of the sufferers, cannot refrain from expressing my thanks to you for having espoused our ease, and though your obliging endeavours may not effectually recal our pledged property, yet I, among others, feel grati fied for that sympathy which your expressions have excited in the minds of others on our be half. Although I should be sorry to trespass upon your valuable time, yet I feel assured you will extend your indulgent attention a few minutes whilst I briefly state the particulars of my aggravated case. lam a clergyman with a contracted income, and have brought up a family respectably, amongst them a son, aged 27, who for many years has been suffering from the sad malady of epilepsy, rendering him incapable of exerting himself towards his own livelihood. Desirous at my decease that he should not become a burthen to his brothers and sisters, I laid out very nearly 2,000/. in the purchase of an annuity for him in the West Mid dlesex Assurance Company. Having lived the greatest part of my life in the country, and not so conversant in worldly matters as a man of business, some al lowance might well be made if a want of caution should be imputed to me, but I must state that I did not enter into this transaction without some consideration and inquiry, which were so far satisfied, by an assurance from the Company that the annuity deed would be signed by three of the directors, and that a memorial of the bond should be enrolled in the Court of Chancery, pursuant to an Act of Parlia ment made for that purpose, which is also stated at the back of the parchment bonds—one with a 12/. stamp, the other a 61. stamp. This blow to me is the more se vere, from its having been just preceded by the infor mation of a brother-in-law having died insolvent, whom I had kindly-lent 1,500/. towards bringing up a family of eleven children, so that my income is reduced nearly 200/." The letter concludes with a reference to a pro fessional man of high eminence in Lincoln's Inn, and a postscript, stating that "the parties were aware of my son's afflictive malady when I purchased the annuity." The LORD MAYOR observed that, from all appear ances, the company bad made very ingenious arrange ments for carrying on their business, and that they were able to answer questions by a reference to what had been done to stamp responsibility upon the managers. Sir PETER LAURIE stated that every thing appeared to have been done under legal advice to give a charac ter to the concern, and blind poor people who wanted a large per tentage for their money. He wished th a t those who had an y thi n g to communicate on the sub ject would write to him to the Mansion-house, where he should pursue the inquiry with the utmost zeal. Nothing could be compared to the impudence of the acting managers of the Company. But it was to be ap prehended that there were several concerns in the metropolis! resembling in principle the villanous Com pany he had been describing. The LORD MAYOR said he was sure that Sir Peter Laurie would be warmly aided by' s his:brother Magistrates in crushing or interrupting their progress. Sir PETER LAURIE stated that Mr. Farquhar, the solicitor to the parties in Glasgow, who had been plun dered by the " Independent West Middlesex Assu rance Company," handed to him the following printed paper, which was extensively issued when the fabrica tors of the nefarious scheme were attacked by the Scotch Reformers' Gazette. Nothing Mr. Farquhar said could equal the resolute perseverance of the con spirators in their attempts to get hold of all the pro perty which poor ignorant women might be induced to intrust to them, in the hope of obtaining a comfortable per tentage for their lives : " To the Public. " Independent and West Middlesex Assurance Company. " In consequence of an advertisement and paragraph that appeared in the Scotch Rejbrmers' Gazette, of the 2d August, this Company feel bound to take notice of the same, and to state that more base, foul, and un founded calumnies were never printed. " This Company has met with great opposition from other insurance offices, in its endeavours to benefit the public, on account of its low rates of premium. Amongst the rest, Mr. Barber Beaumont, of the County,' has done all in his power to retard its pro gress in the public favour. " The report does not originate with Mr. Macken zie, the editor, but with others connected with the mo nopolizing companies. Mr. Mackenzie states that he is willing to prove his villanous libel upon the honour and integrity of this Company before a Judge and Jury, and an opportunity will not be long wanting for him so to do, as actions will be forthwith commenced. Until the trials take place, the public are respectfully re quested to suspend their judgment, and to treat the re port merely as the offspring of envy, jealousy, and malice. " 'We, the undersigned (for the satisfaction of the parties who may be assured at this office), beg to state that the premiums received last year amounted to 44,0001., and that there is every prospect of its being doubled this year ; and that all claims made upon the Company have been paid, where there has been no fraud ; and that even should they be called on to the extent of 200,0001., they are ready to discharge the same, and they solemnly pledge themselves to do justice towards the public, and pursue the course they have hitherto done. But they cannot conclude without ob serving, that, far from large sums of money having been drawn from Glasgow within the last twelve months, there has not been sufficient received to pay the ex penses of keeping up the establishment there ; but trusting that the public would discern the advantages they derive from this Company, and support them ac cordingly, they have purchased of the Glasgow Union Bank the premises in Ingram-street, and by so doing have raised the envy, malice, and spleen of other offices. " Signed by the Managers and Secretary." Sir P. LAURIE expressed a firm hope that after such a case as that of the West Middlesex Assurance Company, the Government would interfere to compel all insurance offices to be registered duly, and take measures to ensure the bona tide solvency and responsi bility of those who were concerned in them. He ex pected to have a great deal to state to the public in the ensuing week. He should, at all events, it he could not get hold of the individuals who had been perpe trating all this mischief, set before the eyes of the world the extent of the villanics they had committed.

The fifteen forfeits for the Chester Cup neither seem to have acted as an impetus to business, nor to have ad vanced the position of any particular horse. This morn ing 6 to 1 against Bloomsbury was laid, but offered to freely that 7 to 1 was asked for, to " some money;" 11 to 1 to a small sum was laid v. Gallipot ; 100 to 3 accepted on Trustee; 100 to 8 was offered in an influential quarter against Retriever, and 100 to 6, bar three. No one would lay 4 to 1 against two, which the party (supposed to be connected with the " trial horse " of 1839) are evidently anxious to accept. 20 to 1 was laid against Queen Bee ; 500 to 20 offered against Sir George ; and 500 to 10 taken on Lugwardine, wanted by tho same partyjou Mar garet, to 5. The field was freely offered to be backed against 7—lake 9, or give 10 and " bar the crack; " 400 to 100 would have been accepted that the winner is at Middleham.

Thos e °Akers fell victims to the prevalent dis ease at Chi 'tan, which has made such deplorable havoc among the B 'ritials troops. Lieutcnant Jerningham, of the \Vellcsleti bass been compelled tc invalid, and was on his passage to 13Convbay. SPANISH FINANCE. The consolidated debt of Spain, both foreign and domestic, is estimated at near 6,010 millions of riots (every millio❑ is qual to about 10,300/. sterling), to which the R,'geney decree, published in the Madrid Gazette of the 22d inst., for the conversion of the overdue dividends, ' would, if acted upon by the bond or titulo holders, have the effect of increasing- it by a sum of near 979 millions, so that the grand total of the funded debt might then exceed 6,980 millions of rials. The impracticable absurdity of offering to pay compound interest, when the interest on the original ca. pital cannJt be, or at any rate is not, paid, is so very palpable that it requires no further comment than the bare men tion of the fact. Agreeably to the most seemingly correct information that I can obtain, it would appear that the va lue of the national property still on hand, including the ceases, exceeds 1,100 millions of rials; that of the pro perty and estates belonging to the high clergy, chapters, &c., converted into State property by one of the decrees above referred to, is supposed not to be under 1,9b0 mil lions ; whilst the property formerly belonging to the Encomiendas, Ot denes Militaircs, &c., now the nation's, stands at a valuation of upwards of 300 millions. The sums due by the various individuals who have bought na tional property since 1834 exceed the large amount of 1,400 millions, including the censos, because most of them have not even paid up the first instalment, through the connivance of the authorities, whereas they hare been in the receipt of the rents or profits arising from their respective purchases. The still outstanding ar rears by the purchasers of national property in the years 1821 and 1522 arc about 67 millions of rials ; and so lukewarm are those persons in coming for. ward with the needful, that orders were issued last even ing to the interdentes of the respective provinces—there are six millions due in Granada alone—directing them to enforce the payments within one month of the issue of the public notice, or otherwise to proceed to take possession of the estates and properties, besides enforcing the bankrupt laws for such balances as there shall still be owing. It will thus seem that the national property, &c., and outstanding debts due by purchasers, &c., are valued at 4,817 millions of rials, whereas the consolidated debt will now exceed 6,980 millions, independent of a much more considerable sum existing of certificates or debt without interest. It consequently follows that unless a rigorous but possible system of retrenchment be forthwith enforced, nothing ultimately satisfactory can be looked for ward to on the part of the bondholders, the more espe • cially so since it has become a subject of general notoriety that Mendizabal is the de facto Minister of Finance, as well as the concoctor of all measures emanating from that de partment. GOVERNMENT PATRONAGE. (From the Scottish I?eformers' Gazette.) We observe that Mr. Robert Bell, Procurator of the Church, has just been appointed to the Sheriffship of the shire of Berwick. Mr. Bell and his friend the Lord Ad vocate were the counsel learned in the law for the rebel lious sons of the Kirk in the Strathbogie case. Mr. Bell prepared all the pleadings for them. lie is their procura tor or adviser in the General Assembly. And is this the reward he has received through the Lord Advocate—and tlae Lord Advocate must have recommended him—for bearding the law, and contending against the Queen's Judges. We arc told by the Non- Intrusionists, and they have made a great noise about it, that the Sheriff of Banff (Mr. Currie) was ordered to repair to his county, the other day, to protect the Presbytery of Strathbogie in their pro. ceedings at Marnoch. We have no doubt that Mr. Currie was prepared to do his duty if necessary. But we hope there are no rebellious sons of the Church in tho Presbytery of Berwick. For, if there be, with what decency could this Mr. Sheriff Bell be asked, seeing that he had actually counselled them in similar lawless proceedings, to go forth as the Sheriff of the county, and put the law into execu tion against them? At — every step he has been taking in Church matters within the last twelve months, this Lord Advocate of Scot land is only entangling himself, and exposing the Govern ment with which he is connected to just reproach. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the London New Price Current of February 5.) SUGAR.—The grocers have been anxious to purchase British Plantation Sugar this week, but the market having been scantily supplied with middling to fine yellow descrip tions, which are most wanted, have much operated against buying, the market has been cleared daily of such, and importers have obtained a further advance of Gd, and in some cases of is per cwt ; for brown and low yellow sorts a good demand has existed, and the prices paid are generally 6d above those of this day week.
