MORNING SUN. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE DAT. y PAPERS OF SATURDAY CHRONICLE.—The last return has been received. Wex ford adds two to the list of Reformers. As the list now stands they amount to 290. But as Mr. O'Connell is returned foe both Meath and Cork, and has announced his intention of sitting for the latter, the new election for Meath will add one to the list of Reformers. Again, the decision of the Assessors, by which Waterford, Athlone, and Dublin were given to the Tories, is so totally at variance with the law and the uniform decisions of Revising Barristers in England, that the elec tions for these places must be set aside. In Carlow county the poll was closed long before the legal hoar, in the teeth of a formal protest. Seven seats will thus, in all probability, be wrested from the Tories. Belfast is in the same predica ment with Waterford, Dublin, and Athlone, and the elec tion will be set aside. It is also understood that the Tories will lose one of the returns for Harwich. When the new Ministry come to vacate their seats, they will not all of them have a Tamworth to fall back on. Some of them, if w e are not much mistaken, on going hack to their constituents, will experience a reception by no means to their taste. The Tories will have an opportunity of ascertaining the difference between single elections and a general election. We cannot be charged with over-estimating the strength of the Reformers in the new Parliament if, allowing for the additions which they must obtain soon after its assembling, we set them down at upwards of 300. With an opposition so strong numerically, and stronger still in their cause, which is that of the whole nation, with the exception of the monopolists, led by Lord John Rassell, Sir Robert Peel will soon find that he is not exactly on a bed of roses. TIMES.—In his recent speech to the electors of Tam worth, Sir R. Peel described the growth and origin of the party of which he is the leader is Parliament. Perceiving, he said, at the time of the Reform Bill, that "that change was accompanied with a restless desire for further change, he then foresaw the importance of laying the foundations of a great Conservative party, attached to the ancient fundamental in. stitutions of the country, not disposed to resist such changes as the altered circumstances of society might require, but a party determined to maintain on their ancient foundations the in stitutions in Church and State." From that time, he added, my object in public life was not so much to gain a position of official power as to build up that great party which has been gradually acquiring strength, . . . a party not so strong in its numbers as it is strong in the confidence of the country." That Sir Robert Peel, in watching over the formation and growth of this Parliamentary party, has per formed his office well, and so as to entitle him to public grati tude, we have not been slow to acknowledge. Our confidence, however (much as we respect the Right Hon. Baronet), is placed, not in him, nor in his followers in either House of Par liament, but in the real Conservative patty, the party of the country, which has restored him to power, not because he is Sir Robert Peel—not merely as a more creditable adviser of Royalty than Lord Melbourne, or a more faithful defender of the landed interest than Lord John Russell, but as the represen tative and expopent of certain intelligible principles. Sir Ro bert Peel did not make the Conservative party in the country ; no wisdom or foresight of his could have created it, had there not been a material in the nation out of which it must necessa rily arise. All that he could do was to train its outward ener gies in the way to conquest, and by his Fabian tac tics in Parliament gain time for its consolidation and development. That he has done. But the life of Conservatism consists in the deep-rooted attachment of the majority of the British people to the Church of which they are members, and to the laws under which they live. The insolent encroachments of the Dissenters in England, and Romanists in Ireland, during the period between the passing of the Reform Bill, and the dismissal of Lord Melbourne's first Ministry by King William—the rapid progress which the opinion of the dominant party seemed to be making towards a total suppression of the Church of England as established by law—these characteristic features of the palmy days of Whig Government roused to a consciousness of strength, and to a sense of the duty of taking an active part in poli ties, multitudes of virtuous, religious, and peaceful, but courageous men, who would have suffered a noisy mino rity to ride roughshod over them under almost any other circumstances. At the same time every session dis covered more and more plainly the tendency of Whig principles to overthrow the sober and rational system of self-government which lies at the foundation of our civil institutions, and to substitute for it a centralized despotism, not less revolting to the feelings or less injurious to the sights of Englishmen, because wielded by the nominees of a Parliamentary majority. Nor was this tendency rendered more palatable to minds which had been educated under the in stitutions of Alfred, by the fruits it bore. The wholesale ma chinery of espionnage by Commissioners, the establishment of a rural gendarmerie, and., above all, the enactment and opera tion of the New Poor-law, excited a degree of general abhor rence and alarm which would have been fatal to any Govern ment. These are the causes, together with the degrading alliance between Ministers and the O'Connel influence in Ireland, which have established upon the basis of the opposite principles the . ..great Conservative party. The success of Sir Robert Peel, and the duration of his power, must depend upon the faithfulness with which he acts upon those opposite prin ciples. But upon this momentous subject we must reserve what we have to offer for a future opportunity. ADVERTISER.—The address of Lord John Russell is not likely to facilitate the Right Hon. Baronet's ( Sir R. Peel's) efforts in the work of Cabinet-building. That important document. cannot fail to interpose obstructions to the exe cution of the proximate Premier's projects, which the lat ter never anticipated. It is an able and luminous manifesto of the course which the Liberals, under the leadership of the Noble Lord, are resolved to pursue the moment they are me tamorphosed from itlinisterials to an Opposition ; and furnishes a clenching confirmation of all that we ventured to predict a few days previous to its publication of the decidedly liberal cha racter of the principles for which they are prepared to contend, and the energy, decision, and perseverance, with which they are resolved to pursue their objects, until their efforts are crowned with complete success. The atmosphere of the Opposi tion benches is, after all, the atmosphere in which the Whigs can breathe most freely. The Opposition is their native element. As an Opposition they have, from the time of Fox and Sheri dan downwards, achieved their greatest victories, and gained their brightest laurels; and there can be no question that new triumphs and fresh trophies await then in the new sphere on which they are about to enter. In the ranks of the Opposition they will, we doubt not, redeem the character they have lost, and restore the confidence which the people of England have for some time ceased to repose in them. And there will be this further and powerful stimulus to patriotic efforts in their new capacity of Opposition, namely, that the triumph of their principles is not only inevitable, but will be of speedy accom plishment. Let the Liberals only be resolute and unremitting in their assaults on the strong holds of Toryism, and down the edifice will speedily tumble in pieces before them and they will recapture Downing-street amidst the loud and universal plaudits of the nation. HERALD.—The Globe of last night delivers itself of a feeble and general denial of the charges we brought on Wed nesday against Lord Palmerston's commercial policy in Europe. We deal with facts, the Globe with assertions. We dare that Journal, or its master—its "eminent band," its "person of quality"—to contradict one of the facts we then stated, to refute one of our conclusions. It is not "the foreign policy of Eng land," as the Glebe would make us say, that has been making mischirf and confusion in every quarter of the globe,—it is the foreign policy of Lord Palmerston. But to arrive at something certain, we repeat that Lord Palmerston personally has de stroyed two treaties, those with Austria and Turkey—which, as originally devised would have been most advan tageous to our commerce; that he refused to ratify an excel lent treaty, procured with difficulty from Naples by his own agent, and that he has thereby inflicted deep and grievous injury on our commerce. Are these charges true or are they false? We challenge the Globe to the proof of their falsity, to the con tradiction of one of the facts we have asserted in connection with them. "Impeachment," the Globe justly says, " would be too light a punishment for a Minister proved guilty of such delinquencies.' Is then the master whom the Globe has served so long now unworthy of defence ? Is Lord Palmerston to be " deserted in his utmost need by those his former bounty fed ?" POST.—The aemouncement contained in Lord John Ruse sell', address to the citizens of London that the present Minis ters of the Crown intend not to resign, but to cling to office until the new Parliament shall literally turn them out, has excited general disgust. It is perceived that in pursuing this course Ministers wilfully inflict practical and substantial injury, upon their Sovereign and country, and that they do this for no other purpose than the mean and base one of appropriating to themselves the little crumbs and morsels of patronage which may happen to fall to the disposal of Government between the present moment and that in which it will not be possible for them to cling any longer to office. It is obvious that until the present Ministers are out of office, and their successors are appointed, man - f of the most important f unct i ons of the Government' are necessarily in abeyance, that her Majesty is deprived of the advice of constitutional and re spons ibl e Ministers possess ing.lv the confidence of Parliament, and that, in many respects, the nation is exposed to all the inconveniences and hazards of an intarregnum. Is it possible, we ask, to reconcile with loyalty, patriotism, or honour, the cond uct o f a body of Mi nisters who, for their own selfish ends, voluntarily prolong a s tate of things so ano malous, u nconstitutional, and u nsa f e. The immediate pra ctical evils inse p ar able from the course adopted by Ministers a re not less manifest t han its theo re ti ca l hostility to the plainest principles of the British Constitu tion. Is there at this momnt in the Government of England any Foreign Department with which the Ministers of _Dep a rt ment States can or will confer with a view to any practical result ? Is there at this moment any Colonial with which merchants and capitalists devising _ ent erpr i ses of commerce or emigration can advantageously confer? I t t h ere any Board of Trade to which deputations of tne manufacturing .or trading classes can usefully resort to offer their suggestions, sec to seek advice or guidance in reference to their important interests? These questions can only be answered in the nega tive, and we see England is kept absolutely without a Govern ment, so far as these important matters are concerned, for the worthless and contemptible purpose above mentioned. GLOBE.—The Corn-market is, in the language of the trade, " creeping up." Each successive market-day brings an advance of 2s. per quarter ; and as there ap /pears no indication of settled, seasonable weather, fears begin to be generally prevalent that the crops will be - seriously affected both in quantity and quality by tte continued rains. Butchers' meat will also be yet ( I .arer in price by the great quantities of hay which base been ;Toiled. Bread and meat, the main articles of consump tion for human food—the former essential to existence, the latter to create strength for labour —are to be for th e next twe l ve months far above thus likely the average prices, and consequently difficult of r even with sufficient employment at exess to the poor, f waves. But the rr prospect beco 'che ordinary rates owaves. es more alarming when viewed in con nex i on w i th the state of the labour market. The weekly trade-reports from the different . manufac turing districts cornier ., • . e l varied intelli gence of "no im P rw ". ement. Distress scarce exis y ts to a dreadful ex tent throughor 'the manufacturing districts. Thousands of families ir_ cipal manufacturing towns of the northern ry ., ,f ricts, ats of the principal staple pro ductions. o f the count , are reduced to a state of desti tu,tior_ by, want of employment. Th e d eman d f or the i r l r aremr has gradually diminished, un d er t h e b ane f u l i n- Juences of the restrictions which were imposed on trade, for the ima g inary benefit of th e l an d e d i nterest, ;until the evil has become general, and is rapidly ad -yawing in its progress to those results which were long since predicted as inevitable. Because these results were, for a time, slow in their movements, and were at intervals stayed in their march, and counteracted by circumstances extraordinary in their nature, and temporary in their duration, they were e ith er stern l y denied as the inventions of sordid interest, or laughed at as chimerical—the dreams of dotage, or the phan tasms of insanity. Now that the elections are over, and the ecstasies of delight in which the monopolists were thrown by their majority begin to subside, there are evident indications of a lurking suspicion that the tri umph is lik e l y to be followed by a drawback upon the glories and the gains which were anticipated from it. The most obstinate incredulity begins to be shaken ; and the most inveteratestickler s f or " protection to agricul ture," even though manufactures to doubt wither un d er i ts bli g h t - r lug influence, be 4.li o l ubt wheth er th e t hi ng has not been car r i e d too far. admitted, from th e manufa.c timing districts, it i s now ° calculated to excite uneasiness , uli,tted, are o f a d escr i ption There is no reasoning with hunger. A starving man has a summary argument with him who would attempt to convince him that he ought to starve patiently. " Hunger," says the homely proverb, "will break through stone walls." When men are driven to despe ration by starvation, not only in their own persons, but in those dearer portions of themselves, their wives and children, it is in vain to talk to them f the duty of su bordination to the laws, and the necessity of patiently resigning themselves to the dispensations of Providence. We have invariably insisted, that it will be found impos.. sible to maintain the existing Corn-laws in seasons of commercial distress, arising, as that distress does, out of those laws, without endangering the public tranquillity and the security of property. Aeseit plebs jejuna timere. Mobs and popular outrages are the necessary conse quences of deficient food. Were the restrictions and prohibitions upon foreign importation reduced, and a moderate fixed duty substituted for the present sliding scale, the supply of corn would be regu lated by the demand, and its price would be preserved from injurious and sudden fluctuations, which enable fraudulent speculators to tamper with the market, while the producers and the consumers become, in turn, the victims of the system which is absurdly repre sented as the protection of both. It is obvious to every one capable of understanding the most simple arrangement of facts, that were corn allowed to be im ported from abroad at a moderate fixed duty, the price of corn in a country so rich and industrious as England, capable of producing manufactures suited to the wants and desires of every people, could never rise to an wor bitant extent above the level of the surrounding mdkets. When, therefore, prices rise enormously above this, their natural level, as they are sure to do under our present system, whenever the home harvest is in any degree de ficient, the cause of the high price will be obvious to the whole world. Every one will see that the dearth is not real, but artificial ; that the famine is the work of man, and not the visitation of Heaven. To assign such consequences to the dispensations of Providence—dis pensations which it would be unavailing to canvass, and impious to censure—is adding hypocrisy to cruelty : it is the attempt of heart-hardening cupidity to conceal the real character of its selfishness under the garb of piety ; and will provoke, as it deserves, the contempt of man, and the indignation of the great Being whom it at once libels and insults. The suffering masses of the population are too well instructed in the causes of the distresses which they suffer, not to see that it is by the perverse policy of the Legis lature, controlled and coerced by the landowners, that they are oppressed, and the means of their exist ence compromised. Those who are prepared to defend such a system must also be prepared to meet the com motions and outbreaks of which it will not fail to be productive. It is not in the nature of things that a vast manufacturing population, like that of England, should continue quietly to submit to a system which narrows the market for their produce, and thus de prives them of employment ; while at the same time it compels them to purchase bread at a price so exor bitant as to force them to the confines of starvation. But a deficient or greatly deteriorated harvest will open the eyes of the farmers to the effects of the Corn laws, for the preservation of which the landlords com pelled them to vote at the recent elections with a rigour never before exercised. A wet harvest would work wonders in exposing the delusion of the " protection to the farmers" afforded by the sliding scale ! A wet har vest would open the ports at a shilling duty ; and thus the farmer be taught by the sharpest of all possible teach ers—stern experience—that the system is unworthy of confidence which is inoperative for protection when most needed. A prosperous manufacturing population will always be the best protection to the agricultural interest, by consuming, in steady and constantly increasing quan tities, the different articles of agricultural produce. The landowners themselves will eventually be taught, al though, possibly, not until they also have purchased wisdom by calamity, that the state of things most likely to be put in jeopardy, the property they have received from their forefathers, is that which turns the trade in the first necessary of life out of its natural course. STANDARD:—Our question—" Upon what pretence do Ministers retain office in defiance of a vote of Parlia- I ment now ratified upon an appeal to the people ?" remains without an answer, or an attempt at an answer. If any inconsistency could seem strange in the politics of the Whig-Radical party, this obstinate refusal to meet so plain a question would excite astonishment. It will be remembered that upon the dismissal of the Whig- Radical Cabinet in 1834 the Government was for about a week or ten days conducted provisionally by the Duke of Wellington, in attendance upon the return of Sir Robert Peel, absent in Italy, at the time of the dismissal of Lord Melbourne and his colleagues ; and it cannot be forgotten with what affected horror and indignation all the organs of the Whig-Radical party denounced what they called the unconstitutional anomaly of a provisional administration. But what is the anomaly of a provisional administration, compared with the anomaly of an administration conducting the Government in defiance of a vote of Parliament ? In what position is the Queen placed by such a proceed ing ? Her Majesty is plainly treated as a cipher, or if more, as the accomplice of her guilty advisers. But the Queen is not a cipher—her Majesty is, and we trust ev er will be, the first power in the State ; not the sole ',over indeed, but the first, and more than co-ordinate of either House of Parliament. It is no abatement o 1 ; her high station and transcendant dignity to say ",:nat the consti ' tution confers this power with an exincta.tion that it shall be exercised in harmony with the ' l 4eliberate sense of Par liament. Her Majesty is now 'placed in that exact posi tion in which, by the spirit of the constitution, she is to act for herself ; properly speaking, she cannot be said to have any advisers in the crisis. The condemned Ministers must ;lot be heard to advise in their own case. Her Aiajesty is, therefore, left to the exer ercise of her own independent judgment—the only counsel that has been offered to her is that of her Par liament, suggesting the dismissal of the men in office, arid that of the people echoing the voice of Parlia ment. How, then, can the most loyal and affectionate construction of the retention of the present Ministers deny that the Queen disregards the advice of her Par liament and the wishes of her people ? lip to the 19th of July it was impossible to interpose the hypo thesis that the people and the Parliament were at va riance, and it might be said that the Queen could not choose between them ; that hypothesis has, however, been extinguished by Lord John Russell's admission that the people have ratified the vote of the House of Commons by " an overwhelming majority" at the elections. Her Majesty can, therefore, now have no difficulty—she now has to exercise her high function with a full knowledge of the wishes of her loyal and affectionate subjects. Were the Ministers loyal men— honourable men—gentlemen, we should not have to write this at the present day. Before this they would have given to their Sovereign the grace of an early and ge nerous compliance with the wishes of her people ; but that they are not loyal and honourable men, or gen tlemen, is proved by the whole course of their conduct towards the Queen. They began by charging her Majesty as a writer of election squibs to serve their party=; when in difficulties they placed her Majesty and her household between them and dismissal ; and from first to last they have represented her as participating in their own mean desires and meaner resentments, until now, when they allow her to stand unconsciously on her part, in open and declared opposition to the expressed wish of her ParliP:-rent and people ; in short, they have studiously of the Britt A 'Laboured to incorporate the Sovereign least n empire as bound by the lowest and res'ctable ties to the service of their party. If Qur-en Victoria is popular—and popular, we rejoice to she is in the highest degree—she owes her popu larity altogether to her amiable and noble qualities, and to the gallant and generous spirit of her subjects ; for her. Ministers have done all in their power to de grade her and render her odious, both as a Queen and personally. The crowning effort in the war against the Queen's influence and dignity is, however, the now retaining office. For this there is no apo logy which the criminals dare to offer to the public —none which they can dare to offer to the Queen. They are dragging their unconscious Sovereign into a conflict with her Parliament and people. They are depriving her of the grace of acting as every mem ber of the house of Hanover has acted in circumstances similar to those in which her Majesty is placed—they are presenting to her use the fatal Stuart precedents. This is thei r honour--this is their claim to the charac ter of gentlemen. They will find, however, truth and loyalty will find their way into the palace, despite of all the guards set for their exclusion, and truth once pre sented to th e c l ear an d power f u l un d erstan di ng o f t h e Queen,,.. there can b e no a pp re h ens i on as t o th e resu lt. ;(:)13RIER—There is, we believe, some hitch about an . the s t , r ea n'ersliip.

It should be recol lected, moreover, that with the new Legislature Sir R. Peel's plaq, agreed to by resolution s of the late House of Commons, for an improved mode of trying and adjudging upon disputed elections, will first come into operation. Upon this improved system the Speaker is empowered to nominate absolutely the first committee of the House which constitutes a court of appeal in denier resort, if we re member rightly ; and this committee, so nominated, is,in its turn, empowered to select and appoint all other committees for trying election petitions. As will readily be under stood from these circumstances the Speaker henceforw ar d will be invested with a juristiction and powers greatly transcending those of all former occupants of the chair. Now it is not to be endured that there should be a shadow of a chance for the appointment on any com m i ttee of such people as Sir George Strickland, for ex amp l e, • whose conduct on the Hull election committee was Airno toriously such, that with - • Thesiger we should in fallibly challenge him it fc und on any jury, before which a cause of our own was directed for trial. And then the Lord Advocate and the Elliotts again ; who can have forgotten the infamous Hawick case? One of these Elliott,, we see, has the assurance, in a letter in to-day's Times, to complain of the Lord the peace at Lieu tenant of Roxburghshire for preserving the late election. He talks about " indignation" at " such crimes" as the employment of the militaryat th for e that salutary purpose. Where was his "indignation" preceding election, when he and Lord Minto might have seen, and did see perhaps, the Conservative voters thrown into the river and treated with every violence and brutality by the Elliot voters and tenantry ?_Were he and his, lordly brother then "joking and laughing one moment. and speaking seriously the next," whilst their own ferocious mob was doing the business of the election for them ? No, no, we must have no Stricklands, Rutherfords, or El liotts on Election Committees. Let them give place to more honest and impartial men. THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY, JULY 26, 1841 MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF SATURDAY. HERALD.—When Mexico has been and is rigorously screwing up her tariffs, the chiefs of the province of Yucatans which has revolted from Mexico, have, on the contrary, re-es-! . tabltshed the old and more liberal tariff of 1828, at the same time that the old constitution of 1824 was adopted as the form of government. The tonnage duly exigible under that tariff moreover has been reduced from 17 reals, at which it stood for-. merly, to 12 reels per ton. In like manner General Anaza, commanding the insurgent• federalists, when the city of Tabasco fell into their power, im mediately issued two decrees, by the first of which the Mexi can tariff of 1828 was re-established, subject to ulterior dis positions of the General Congress, when it should assemble, and also with modifications, among which are the following : The anchorage duty abolished. Every vessel entering Tabasco, on whatever account, to pay a duty of 12 reals per ton. Fo• reign vessels not to engage in the coasting trade from one port to another; but once unloaded and visited by the Custom-house officers, to be permitted to take in freight of national products at Tabasco, on proving by a regular certificate of the respec tive custom-houses that they have acquitted the duties. Three fifths only of the import duties established by the general ta riff of 1828 before cited to be exacted for the present. No in ternal duty, nor, in the state, any kind of impost upon the circulation of national or foreign commodities, shall be exigi ble, the interior custom-houses being from this moment suppressed. Arms, gunpowder, provisions and lead to he ex empt from all taxes on importation. There are also other re gulations in these decrees freeing foreign trade from various vexations. These facts accomplished of intrusive or insurgent Govern ments are cited to show the heads of the Mexican Republic and Legislature the impolitic and unpopular course of fiscal exaction which they have been and are pursuing to the destruction of all foreign trade, and the disgust still more of the Mexican people themselves than of foreign nations. For the Mexican tariff itself is one mass of prohibitions or prohibitory duties payable at the ports of entry, and these are extravagantly enhanced again by duties on internal consumption, or rather on being forwarded into the interior, all payable by the foreign merchant. The Mexican Government ought to understand that when in surgent provinces declare their independence, and hasten as the very first step to suppress odious tariffs and replace them with a more liberal and equitable system, it is a clear sign that they are acting no less from a desire to benefit the ccmmunity than to gain popularity, to which the reduction of oppressive imposts is felt to be the readiest way. POST.—We hear of a number of additional failures having occurred in Germany and other parts of the Continent, some of them being failures of importance. The condition of the firms previously noticed prove to be even more extensive than was at first imagined. Here a stoppage in the West India trade has been talked of, but we furbear to go into any particulars upon the subject at present. The case of the Wakefields, late of Broad-street, bankers and stockbrokers, as unfolded within the last day or two in the Court of Bankruptcy, has formed a very prominent topic of discussion among our commercial men. Educated at a school like the Stock Exchange, it was not to be expected that the books of these persons would prove entirely free from items that might lead to an indulgence on the part of the Commissioner or the creditors, the reverse of flattering to their feelings. The public appear, however, not to have been by any means prepared for the development of facts so perfectly damning to their reputation, as men of bmi ness, as those which were brought to light upon the occasion ; for what has been the conduct pursued by them for the last three-and-twenty years? With a capital of 1,50(1., including the lease of the Broad-street premise', if such a sum is worthy to be called a capital, Messrs. Wakefield have been receiving, as bankers, cash to an unlimited amount, partly in deposit, and partly for investment , as well as secui ities in trust, the whole of which they have, apparently without the smallest hesitation, appropriated to their own purposes as often as their shameful extravagance produced a necessity for supplies. Every species of property confided to their custody has been made away with, for all that re mains out of nearly 100,0001. (the aggreate of their debts) is a miserable sum of 5,706/. (property, 4,9511., gaol debts, 755/. ), or, say, about one shilling in the pound, and, if the expenses be deducted, nothing like so much. The bankrupts state the amount of their profits, since January, 1818, to be 73,706/. From these we deduct the sum put down for expenses at 19,4051., and another sum for losses (gambling losses on the Stock Exchange, of course), at 35,547/., which leaves a remainder of 18,754/. to meet the ex penditu:e of the two insolvents for the same period, amount ing t.d 112,410/., the son having spent 37,256/., and the father the very modest amount of 75,1541. ! or five thcusand a year, of which four thousand was the money of other people, im properly converted to their personal uses. The elder Wakefield was a member of the Committee of the Stock Exchange, and Trustee and Treasurer of the Decayed Members' Fund. In the latter capacity he made free with Exchequer Bills to the extent of 4,000/. belonging to super annuated jobbers, widows, and orphans, a sum which, however, it is likely his co-Trustee may be called upon to make good, as, in justice he ought to be. He is clearly liable, and can, we understand, well afford to pay. While the old Stock Exchange counts among the more re spectable of its members gentlemen of the character of Messrs. Wakefield and Son, for there have been, and are, others of the body to whom our censure might be equally well applied, we do think those of our Contemporaries who are sometimes in &lced, in spite of their obvious feelings, to defend their mis doings, should be so hard as they are upon the class they de nom►nate the " shut out." The privilege of being admitted to the society of the Wakefields, and their equals in respect ability, is one that does not, in our humble estimation, appear so valuable as to render the circumstance of one's exclusion therefrom a legitimate subject of derisiou. During the late examination at the Bankruptcy Court an officer holding a commission in the a my presented himself. After many years' service and severe economy, the veteran had, it seems, placed in the hands of the bankru?ts stock he had acquired for 10,0001. They transferred it, made off with the proceeds, and he was thus robbed of every farthing he pos sessed. This we name as hut one of the many miseries inflicted by the unprincipled conduct of parties engage d in money trans actions, and occupying a station calculated to impose upon the unwary. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, July 24. MILNER V. SINGLETON. This case came before the Court upon appeal from the decision of his Honour the Vice-Chancellor, refusing to grant a new trial of an issue which the Court had di rected. The only question in the case was, whether the defendant Singleton, in negotiating with the Dean of York for the lease of a farm, occupied by the plaintiff, acted as- his agent or on his own account, On the case cdming- on before the Vice-Chancellor, his Honour di rected an issue to try that question ; and the jury, upon that issue, gave a verdict, to the effect that Singleton in the transaction acted as the agent of the plaintiff. An application was then made to the Vice-Chancellor for a new trial, which that Learned Judge refused to grant, and from that judgment the present appeal was brought. Mr. Wigram and Mr. Elmesley appeared on behalf of the appellant, and Mr. Richards and Mr. Smythe were in support of the judgment below. The LORD CHANCELLOR, without calling upon the two latter gentlemen to address the Court, gave judgment, refusing the motion with costs, thereby affirming the de cision of the Court below, refusing to grant a new trial. ELECTION OF REPRESENTATIVE PEERS FOR SCOTLAND. In the course of the morning, the Duke of Richmond, the Duke of Leeds, and the,Earl of Marchmont, appeared in Court, and took the necessary oaths to enable them to vote at the election of representative Peers for Scotland. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, July 24. HERRING V. CLOBURRY. The plaintiff in this case had been taken under an at tachment issued out of the Court of Chancery for the non-payment of costs, which he had been ordered to pay upon the dismissal of his bill, and having been brought up to the bar of the Court, was turned over to the Fleet Prison, where he is at present confined. The solicitor for the defendant had been unable to find the plaintiff for the purpose of serving him with the subpoena for the taxed costs, which is necessary before issuing an attachment ; and upon affidavit of the steps which had been unsuccessfully taken to serve the plaintiff personally by repeated application at a house, No. 66, in St. James's street, of which the plaintiff described himself, and also at Tattersall's subscription-rooms, which he was said to frequent, an order was made that service of the subpcena on his clerk in Court should be good service, and upon this order the attachment issued. Mr. WAKEFIELD now moved to discharge the order and the attachment, on the ground that the defendant's solicitor, being informed at 66, St. James's-street that the plaintiff did not reside there, but that any letter or message left there for him would be delivered, ought to have stated to the person residing there what his object for inquiring was, or ought to have left some letter or note for that purpose, which he did not do,' as the plain tiff would then have had an opportunity of making an appointment for the purpose of meeting the clerk whose business it was to serve him with the subpoena. Mr. K. BRUCE and Mr. HARE, for the defendant, said the order for the substitution of service. was not ob tained ex parte, but upon notice served upon the clerk in Court, and the plaintiff, if he had any objection to the order, ought to have appeared and opposed it. The VICE-CHANCELLOR said it was not probable that leaving any letter or message at St. James's-street would have facilitated the personal service of the subpoena. Everythinc , that could be done appeared to have been done, and. refused the motion with costs. Julian Hugh ,Poters. Exparte Bodenham 8, Adolphus and Ellis, 950, was referred to in support of the argument; The VICE-CHANCELLOR rose without hearing the further arguments in this case. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY—JuIy 23. (Before Mr. Commissioner FONELANQUE.) i%IABIUS MERENTIE'S BANKRUPTCY. This was the day fixed to take the choice of assignees against this estate. The bankrupt is described as a merchant of King William-street, and had connexion with firms of the same name.at Paris, Marseilles, &c. and the choice of assig nees was, after some short discussion, adjourned to allow time for proofs, &c. to be received thence. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT—JuIy 23. (Before Mr. Commissioner BOWEN.) NE THOMAS HOLLOWAY. The hearing of this case excited very considerable interest on account of the celebrity of the insolvent, he being the pro prietor of " Holloway's Ointment."

The amount of debts in his schedule was stated to be 3,0591., and his assets 5201. The cause of his insolvency he attributed to his expenditure exceeding his income.

OXFORD ClRCUlT—Stafford, July 22. CROWN COURT. (Before Mr. Justice COLTMAN.) William Simpson was indicted for the wilful murder of Wm. Hewitt, on Saturday, the 19th of June last. Mr. Greaves and Mr. Kynnei sley conducted the prosecu tion. The prisoner had no counsel. It appeared, that on the morning of Sunday, the 20th of June, a person of the name of Holland went to a stone pit at Armshead, a hill on Wetley Moor, for the purpose of fetching some sand, and there saw extended at full length the body of the deceased, who was an old man of about sixty years of age, with the head lying on a stone in a shockingly mangled state. The body was at that time quite stiff and cold, showing that the deceased had been dead several hours, and Hol land observed that the flap of his trousers was down, and that one of the pockets was cut off. Upon the discovery of the body a search was made round the pit, and under a heap of stones was found a large stone of about five or six inches in length, covered with blood and hair. The house of the prisoner was about 300 or 400 yards from the spot where the body was found, and it was proved that about eleven o'clock on the morning of Saturday, the deceased Hewitt was seen going up towards Armshead from the prisoner's house in his company. This was the last time the deceased was seen alive. About two o'clock in the afternoon of the same day some young ladies passed by the pit, and saw a man lying there, with his feet towards the entrance (the position in which the body of the deceased was found), but thinking that he was intoxicated and asleep, they took no particular notice of the circumstance, and passed on their way. It appeared that the old man, who did not bear the hest of characters, and was well known to Mr. Brutton, the governor of Stafford gaol, was a person of penurious habits, and had scraped together a small sum of money, which he always carried about him—a circumstance which was shown to have come to the knowledge of the prisoner on the Thursday before the murder was committed. The prisoner at that time complained that he was badly off, and on the Satur day afternoon he went to a place called Bucknell, about a mile from the scene of the murder, and asked to pay his shot at a public-house, where he had run up a small score. He there produced a sovereign and a purse, the latter of which was identified as the property of the deceased. He after wards went to Hanky, about a - mile further on, and there changed another sovereign, and purchased a smock-frock for Ss., his upper dress consisting at that time of a jacket with sleeves. This jacket was produced at the trial, and the left arm was found to be marked with stains of blood, which the prisoner had accounted for by stating that his nose had bled while he was in the lock-up house, but it was shown that there were no stains of blood either on the straw or any other part of the cell in which he was confined. After obtaining the smock-frock, the prisoner went to another shop at Han ley, and there laid out 1/. ls. 3d. in the purchase of other goods, paying for them a sovereign and ls. 3d. in other coin. I Afterwards he went to a beer-house, and there paid away some more money, and he also paid 14s. 9d. to get a jacket, which he had pledged, out of pawn. Altogether no less than five sovereigns and a-half were seen in his possession, and he told a person named Lamb, on the Sunday morning, that lie would lend him a sovereign if he liked, and that he had six sovereigns hidden in a secret place where no one could find them. The deceased was shown to have had about 15 or 16 sovereigns in his possession just before his death. It will be seen that the case, of which the above statement is in its main features an accurate outline, was one purely of circum stantial, evidence, collected from a great number of wit nesses, and that it rested principally upon the previous po verty and sudden affluence of the prisoner, combined with the fact of his having been seen in the company of the deceased' a few hours before his death, and with the circum stance of the purse of the deceased being found in his pos session. Mr. Justice COLTMAN summed up the evidence with great care and minuteness, and The Jury, after deliberating together for about a quarter of an hour, returned a verdict of Not Guilty, to the evident as tonishment of the Judge and the whole Court. NORFOLK ClRCUlT—Cambridge, July 22. (Before Mr. Baron ALDERSON.) DAINTREE V. HUTCHINSON. This was an action upon a contract, by which the parties agreed that their respective greyhounds should run a match of three courses for the sum of 100/., "p. p." (" play or pay.") Mr. Kelly and Mr. Byles were counsel for the plaintiff; Mr. Andrews and Mr. Gunning for the defendant. The plaintiff, Captain Daintree, resides at Fenstanton, near Cambridge, and is a magistrate and agentleman of fortune ; the defendant lives near Nottingham, and is alto a man of property, and both parties are the owners of several greyhounds, and very fond of the sport of coursing. They were at the Louth coursing match at the end of November last, and after dinner the conversation turned upon the comparative merits of the• plaintiff's greyhound King Cole, and the defendant's Grasper, which ended in the parties signing the following agreement ; " Mr. Hutchinson challenges Capt. Daintree to run a greyhound against his for 1001. the best of three course: in one day. Mr. Hutchinson names his red and white dog Grasper, Capt. Daintree names his fawn and white dog King Cole. Each party is to name a judge, and the judges a referee. The match to be ran on the Wednesday in the Newmarket February meeting, 1841, p. p." It appeared by the evidence that there exists at Newmarket a coursing club, which holds its meetings in the first week in February and November in each year ; of this club the plaintiff is a member and the defendant is not. Before the time when the agreement was signed, the Newmarket February meeting had been fixed for Tuesday, the 2d of that month, and the coursing was to take place on the four following days. On Tuesday, the 2d of February, the defendant was at Newmarket ready to run his dog, but there was so severe a frost, that it was found impossible to run, and the members of the club, who met arid dined together on that day, adjourned the coursing until the " first open Tuesday," which proved to be the 17th of that month. The defendant, who had traeellectnea.ly 100 miles, was prepared to run the match, but the plaintiff was not, and the former therefore said the match ought to be off, but the plaintiff gave him written notice that he should insist upon its coming off " on the adjournment-day. The defendant then left Newmarket, and did not return on the 17th, the day on which by adjournment the coursing of the club took place ; the plaintiff was on the ground with " King Cole," and after the secretary to the club had in due form made proclamation for Grasper" and his master and they appeared not, he de • dared the 1001. to be forfeited by the defendant. Mr. Baron ALDERSON, in this state of things , was of opinion that the acti on wild not be sustained. The parties make a contract that their dogs shall run a match on the 3d of Feb ruary, for, as the Newmarket meeting was fixed before the contract was entered into, that date was to be considered as im ported into the agreement. The day arrives ; the defendant is prepared with his dog, and ready to sun, but owing to the state of weather it is found impossible to start. The defendant was not bound to run his dog on any other day than that on which he had agreed that he should run, unless he made a fresh agreement; he was no party to the postponement by the club of the coursing, and he was not to be kept from his home and business for a fortnight or a month, or to return at the time to which the club thought proper to adjourn the meet. ing. The plaintiff was not ready to run on the day mentioned in the agreement, and therefore was not entitled to treat the 100/. as forfeited by the defendant. The Jury then, under the Learned Judge's direction found a verdict for the defendant. This trial excited great interest, and several members of the club and gentlemen connected with the " sporting world'' were present. NORTHERN CIRCUIT—York, July 22. (Before Lord. DENMA N. ) CRAVEN AND OTHERS V. THORNHILL. This was a Special Jury case. Air. Cresswell, Mr. Hildyard, and Mr. H. Hill appeare 1 for the ph intiff, and Mr. Knowles, assisted by Mr. Tomlinson and Mr. Watson, conducted the defence. _ _ The plaintiffs were three brothers, who occupied two farms lat Fly tenanted by their deceased father, and which belonged to the defendant, a gentleman of very extensive possessions in this and in other countries. It appears to have been the cus tom of Mr. Thornhill to let his farms to tenants from year to year, upon such terms as to the course of husbandry and the coming in and goir g out of tenants as were expressed in cer tain old leases of the same property. It was alleged that the fatheF of the plaintiffs had been let in on these terms, but for some reason or other notice was given to the sons to quit, and on quitting they claimed to be valued out, according to,the custom of th e coun ty. The defendant had just before parted with his steward, Mr. Oastler, on account of some difference between them, and who had taken a great quantity of documents'away with him, and among the rest the two leases which related to the two farms in question. The under steward was also dismissed about the same time, and the flew steward having no means of ascertaining 'that the claim of the plaintiO3 to go out according to the custom of the county was not right, appointed a valuer on behalf of the defendant, who valued with one appointed by the plaintiffs. The two valuers, going upon the .411.1),,sitton that the custom of the' county was to be their rule, after some differing, agreed to fix the sum to be paid to the plaintiffs on going out at 2851. Subsequentlx Oastler was worsted in an action brought by Mn Th6frihiil against him, and then he gave up the docinnents, and the old leases were discovered. The defendant refused to pay for the valuation, which it was said was obtained by the fraudulent statement of the plaintiffs, who then brought the present ac tion. The defendants paid 1101. into Court, and the plaintiffs now sought to recover the remaining 1751. Mr. KNOWLES addressed the jury on behalf of the defen dant, and produced witnesses to prove the terms under which old Craven came in ; that the old leases were read to him, and that he was made fully aware of their contents, and assented to the terms; also, that the plaintiffs, in stating the terms of their holding to the defendant's present steward, had suppressed these facts, and denied that they held under any express terms, but according to the custom of the county. Mr. CRESSWELL replied, and Hia LORDSHIP, in his observations, seemed to think that the appointmeat by the agent of the defendant of a valuer, and his valuation having been made, were facts too strong to admit of the result of that measure being rebutted by the evidence which had been adduced. Verdict for the plaintiffs—Damages,l7s/. Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN, in the course of the day, disposed of three or four cases in the other court. WESTERN ClRCUlT—Devizes, July 22. CROWN COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Ma ) Richard Fuller, Charles Palmer, and James Hobbs, were indicted for having, on the.9th of May, committed a rape upon Harriet Godding. Mr. Merewether conducted the case for the prosecution, and Mr. Ball defended the prisoner. It appeared from the statement of Harriet Godding that she was twenty-eight years of age, that her husband, to whom she had been married seven years, was a journeyman bricklayer, that he had been out of employment two months, and they were reduced to the lowest ebb—they had no money, no home. On Saturday, the bth of May, they had not eaten any thing all day, but in the evening they called at a gentleman's house near Swindon. They made their case known to him, and happily he knew the neighbourhood from whence her husband came. He gave them supper, and allowed them to sleep in one of his cow-sheds. On the next morning (Sunday) he gave them money wherewith to purchase their breakfast, told them they , might sleep again in his cowshed, but desired them not to come till after dark, as he did not like to see poor people about his premises. The man and his wife then wandered away, and in the afternoon went into a public-house to get some refreshment, where they met the three prisoners. Fuller, finding that Godding had no money, gave him a pint of beer, which he and his wife drank. Fuller then began making over tures to the wife ; but she would not listen to him. He, how ever, declared he would have his will of her that night. The husband, a poor half-starved creature, asked what was the matter, upon which Fuller, who has but one hand, .but has af fixed to the arm an iron stump, knocked down the huiband with this stump. The wife interfered, and this brute then struck her on the forehead with the same weapon. The pOor people were frightened, and left the house, intending to pro ceed to their miserable hovel. They were followed by these wretches and overtaken, mid they then one arid all committed the offence for which they were indicted. All this was ac companied by the most horrible language ard most brutal treatment, and is perhaps one of the worst cases that has been heard of in recent times. For the defence several witnesses were called with a view of showing that the woman was intoxicated, that she had winked at the men, and had conducted herself with great levity,'but they broke down in their cross-examination. The woman gave her testimony exceedingly well, and no one could doubt the accuracy of her statement, in which she was supported by other witnesses. The Learned Judge having summed up, The Jury found all the prisonerS Mr. Justice MAULS then told them, that had the offence been committed some time since, their lives must inevitably have been sacrificed, but as an Act of Parliament had now passed taking away the punishment of death for this offence, although it had not yet come into operation, still he should only order judgment of death to be recorded against them. They would however, be sent out of the couhtry. A feeling of horror pervaded the Court during the whole of the trial, the details exhibited such a case of brutality. Edward Ladd was convicted of having assaulted Ann Per rett and Emma Perrett, being each under the age of 12 years, with intent, &c. _ _ _ From the evidence it, appeared that the prisoner was the uncle of the little girls, and that he had been in the habit of conducting himself in an indecent manner towards these little children. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty, and he was sentenced to one year's imprisonment andhard labour. This was a case of most horrible depravity. HOME CIRCUIT, Chelmsford, July 24. - - The busin?ss of this assize, owing to the heavy tithe case, has been of unusual duration, and it has been found necessary to make several cases remanets. -LOrd Chief Justice Tindal disposed of the criminal business on Thursday afternoon, and he then proposed to get rid of some of the causes, but this was found to be impracticable, owing to all the leading counsel being engaged in the other Court, and the attorneys in the different cases declined to go on with the juniors in their absence. On Friday morning his Lordship took his seat upon the Bench, and the cases were called on ; but the same difficulty still continuing, his Vordship found that it was no use to proceed further, and he adjourned the Court, and soon afterwards proceeded to London, leaving Mr. Sergeant Taddy to dispose of the rest of the business. Some of the remaining causes are of very public inte rest. The Commission will be opened on Monday, at Maidstone, by Lord Chief justice Tindal. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. GREAT GLASGOW ROBBERY.—It will be in the recollec tion of our readers that Gavin Scott, alias Charles Hamil ton Douglas, who lately absconded from Glasgow with 8,6001., the property of his employers, Messrs. M`Gregor and Co., merchants, was traced by John Forrester, the City officer, to London, on the 31st of May, and from thence to Havre and Paris, at which latter place the officer ascertained that the delinquent had booked his place on the Bth of June, by diligence direct to Mar seilles. Forrester made application to the English Am bassador for his interposition with the French authori ties upon the subject, and at , the request of the former functionary the Prefect of Police at Paris consented to telegraph Scott, which was done with great alacrity and promptness, and the authorities at Marseilles received full instructions relative to the runaway. Forrester and Mr. . I .ll‘Gregor arrived in Marseilles on the morning of the 21st of June, at five o'clock, and immediately communicated with the Commissioner of Police, from whom they received the utmost attention. It then appeared that Scott had been arrested on the 15th of June at , Marseilles. At the prison they were introduced to Scott, who was immediately identified by Forrester, who went to the Hotel de Paris, the abode of Scott, and there, after considerable difficulty, succeeded in recovering 4,390/. In his communication with Forrester Scott declared that part of the money had been abstracted from his drawers at the hotel, and upon that statement proceed ings have been instituted against the parties charged by the authorities at Marseilles. It is said that a further sum of 1,900/. will be recovered. Forrester returned to town a few days ago with the 4,3901. and accompanied by Scott, who was on Saturday brought before the Lord Mayor, by whom he was sent to Scotland in the course of the evening. The officer stated to the Lord Mayor that he could not speak too highly of the French authorities, who ren dered him such prompt and ample assistance. Felix Homo, the Frenchman, charged with running away from Rouen with property belonging to his cre ditors to the amount of from 16,000 to 20,000 francs, was brought up for re-examination. The gentleman who upon the first examination acted as intzrpreter, stated to the Lord Mayor that the prisoner had threatened, upon the first convenient opportunity, to murder him, and that there was no doubt whatever of the sincerity of the intentions of the man. -The LORD MAYOR stated, that although the prisoner had committted no act of robbery in England, he cer tainly should be detained till he should find securities to answer for his good behaviour. Mr. Hobler, junior, appeared before the Lord Mayor to give publicity to a very scandalous and heartless act, committed by some fellows who evidently delighted in harrassing the feelings of others. A man of consider able talent, who was suffering very much from pecuniary embarrassments, and whose sensitiveness was so great under the infliction, that many of his friends appre hended that he would make attempts upon his own life, lay at that moment in a very precarious condition. A letter enclosing a check for 20/. upon the house of Glyn and Co..reached the house by the penny post, and was opened by the son. It contained the following infor mation :—Sir, I beg to annex a check due this day.— W. Day." The young man did not know to what account the letter referred, and he mentioned the circumstance to Mr. Hobler, junior, who immediately went to Glyn's and stated what had taken place. Upon reference to the books it was found to be all a hoax, no such name as W. Day keeping account with the house. Mr.•liobler, junior, said that Messrs. Glyn expressed their readiness to do all they could to bring the writer of the letter to justice. On the envelope of the letter were the words " with care ;" and on the wax was impressed ' the words " God bless you." The Loan MAYoR observed that perhaps through the medium of the press, the writer might be detected ani punish ed.. .. _ _ _ _ Mr. Hobler said that the letter had cost the poor man twopence, which he could very ill afford indeed. HATTON-GARDEN. SU:GT.II,AR CASE.—A gentleman, named Biggers, was charged with assaulting Mr. James Williamson, land lord of the Crown public-house in St. John-street-road. The complainant stated that on Friday evening the de fench,nt had some refreshment in his house, which he paid for all but threepence. Witness in consequence seized his hat, when the accused immediately collared him, and, after shaking him, threw him from the bar into the street. For this assault he was given into the custc,dy of a policeman. 1)4 !fendant, in his defence, said that he paid for what he id. He had been in the plaintiff's skittle-ground with a friend, and when about to leave the pot-boy said there was threepence due. That amount had been had in b y strangers to him, who had quitted the place. Mr. Williamson said the pot-boy should not be a loser of it, and that he (defendant) should pay. He, naturally in dign ant, refused, and the complainant then took the liberty of snatching his hat from his head, for which he justly chastised him. Mr. ComnE (to complainant)—What right had you to take away his hat ? Mr. Williamson—l considered that the law authorised me. 01111 r. COMBE--Indeed it does net. An innkeeper has the power to detain the luggage of a traveller for neces saries supplied. If your notion of the law were correct, you would be equally justified in taking off his shirt or trousers. You: commenced the outrage, and I consider he was justifiedl in resenting it. He is discharged. Mr. William son—Then do you mean to say a publican has no remedy against a person who eats and. drinks-in his house, and then refuses to pay ? • • Mr. CoxnE—:-You can detain property r such as a trunk, but you must not strip him. If it be an evil, you can easily remedy it by refusing to give up your articles until you receive 'payment. If you think my opinion incorre go to tilt, tiessions, and indict him for WC a,sault. Mr. Williamson said he Ninuld do so. MARLBOROUGH-S Tlitt COMMITTAL OF _ONE OF .THE JUVENILE SWELL MOB.— John Dutton, a very fashionably dressed and good-looking youth, about fourteen years of age, was committed to take his trial for picking the pocket of a.... 3 It. Frederick Cherrens, auc tioneer, No. 4, Avenue-road, St. John's Wood, Regent's-park, of a handkerchief. Several of the force identified the prisoner as having been for a long time connected with the swell.rnob, and also with having been frequently in custody for picking pockets in omnibuses, meetings, and places of public worship. Mr. Cherrens said it was an extremely fortunate thing for him that, just previous to his leaving home, he had taken big pocket-book, which contained a large amount, from out of the pocket where the handkerchief was in, and locked it up in his desk. Thirty-seven stout beggars of both sexes, from the age of six years to seventy-three were brought up by the officers belong ing to the Mendicity Society, having been apprehended begging on Friday at the west-end of the town. With the exception of three or four cases they were committed for various periods of imprisOnment, varying from seven days to one month. ELDERTON V. PETERS. This was an application that Mr. Bebb, a solicitor of the Court, might pay the costs of a suit. instituted by the plaintiff against the defendant. Mr. KNIGHT BRUCE, with whom was Mr. Tripp, stated the circumstances of the case, which were of an extraordinary nature. It appeared that Mr. Bebb had been induced to commence an action for an alleged person of the name of Julian Hugh Peters against Mr. Elderton, for the recovery of the amount of a bill of exchange drawn by Julian Hugh Peters, and accepted by one Jones, in the name of himself, of a person named Heard, and of Elderton. A verdict was obtained in the action by means of the evidence of Jones ; Elderton filed his bill in the Court of Chancery to be relieved from the verdict ; Mr. Bebb appeared to that bill for Julian Hugh Peters, and shortly after the appearance by Bebb, it was discovered by Mr. Elderton that there was no such person in existence as Julian Hugh Peters. A rule nisi was obtained from the Court of Queen's Bench to set aside the proceedings at law, with costs, to be paid by Mr. Bebb or Mr. Jones, and while the sale was pending in Febru ary last, Elderton applied to the Court of Chancery for leave to dismiss his bill in that Court (be having discovered that there was no such person as Peter.), and that Bebb might pay the costs of that suit. His Honour 'the Vice- Chancellor directed an issue in effect to try whether there was such a person as " Julian Hugh Peters , " the plaintiff i n th e action at law. Mr. Bcbb appealed from that order to the Lord • Chancellor, who reversed the same, but directed the motion to stand over until the result of the rule nisi should be knoWn. In June last the Court of Queen's Bench made the rule absolute, with costs to be paid by Jones to Elderton. Subsequently Mr. Bebb applied to the Lord Chancellor for the costs. of his opposition to Mr. Elderton's motion in the Court of Chancery. Mr. Bebb was unsuccessful in his applica tion, and the original motion now came oti before the Vice-Chancellor. It was urged by the counsel for Mr. Elderton,. that Although there was no ground for main taining that Mr. Bebb was privy . to the fraud practised upon Mr. Elderton, yet that he, having brought the action as the attorney from the supposed person, who in fact did not exist, and having appeared for . r hi* in the suit, was answerable to the plaintiff in &flirty TO all the costs which had been incurred in consevenge of Mr. Bebb having acted as the attorney :and solicitor for ETON REGATTA-SATURDAY. The Annual Regatta took place on Saturday at Eton, in commemoration of the four hundredth anniversary of the foundation of this venerable Colleze— " Where grateful science still adores, Her Henry's holy shade." This event, as most of our readers may be aware, is cele brated by an aquatic procession of boats handsomely fit ted up for the occasion, and rowed by Eton boys, under the guidance of a captain to each boat, who is chosen from amongst the crew. They proceed up the river as far as Surley Hall, where they partake of some refreshment, and then return to Eton. It was expected that Prince Albert would have honoured the festivities on Saturday with his presence, and accompanied the procession to Surley Hall ; his Royal Highness, however, was engaged laying the first stone of an Orph r an Asylum at Wanstead, and was unable to come. _ _ _ The morning did not promise propitiously for the day's' . enjoyment, out towards evening it brightened up, and at six o'clock the boys being liberated from. the painful durance of the college walls, rushed forth in shoals, while gigs and wherries began to glide from the shore, and fast dippiniic oars to sparkle in the light of the sink ing sun. At this hour, too, the company were fast as sembling in the Brocas ; and though the number of spectators were not so numerous as we have seen them on former occasions, there was a pretty fair muster of well-dressed people on horseback and on foot, who lined the shore from the Brocas to the Clump. At that part of the shore from whence the boats started a space was railed in for the accommodation of the young gentlemen who were to row, and at this point were drawn up a number of private carriages, containing for the most part ladies, who appeared highly interested at the scene. A gun, which was fired as the clock struck seven, was the signal for the boats to prepare, and in a few seconds the juvenile watermen were all aboard their respective craft, the steerer of each boat wearing the uniform of an officer of the royal navy. At this moment the appear , anco of the river and the shore was exceedingly ani mated. After rowing once by the company, the seven Etonian boats went'off in beautiful style, preceded by two other boats containing the band of the Oxford Blues playing the popular air " Nix my Dolly." The following is a list of the boats in the order that they started, with the names of the young gentlemen who rowed in each : 1. Monarch—(Leading boat, ten oars) Arundel, cap tain, Woolley, Butt, ma., Richards, Spankie, ma., Bayley, Clarke, Bygate, Pigot, Temple, Murdoch, steerer. 2. Victory—(Eight oars) Buller, captain, Craster, Palmer, Smith, Harkness, Mount, StaPylton, Townley, Whitmore, steerer. 3. Prince George—(Eight oars)—Spankie, mi., cap tain, Peel, Wiley, Houston, Cornwall, Newdigatc, Hughes, Hole, Bill; mi., steerer. 4. Britannia—(Eight oars) Bedford, captain, Courte• nay, Pepys, ma., Codrington, Follett, Sir M. Stewart Wigney, Henley, Lord Belgrave, steerer. 5. Dreadnought—(Eight oars) Fellowes, captain, Back ma., Turton, Lord Guernsey, Lucy, Woodbridge, ma.. Peel, Turton, Foster, Currie, steerer. . . 6. Thetis—(Eight oars) Doraville, captain, Burton Ruggles, East, Spike, Higginson, Monk, Boughton Finch, steerer. . _ . At Surley-hall the crews partook of an elegant repast in the open air, at which so many champagne corks were drawn, that the hilarity of the crews was astonishly in creased on their return down the river. On returning to Windsor they pulled to the Cobbler,, and afterwards dis played a variety of aquatic feats, to the immense gratifi cation of the crowds assembled on the shore. The day's festivities concluded with a display of fireworks on the small island below the bridge, which had a very beautiful effect viewed from the bridge. EXPERIMENTS AT WOOLWICH, 1 WITH THE PROJECTILE INVENTED BY THE DUKE OF NORMANDIE. (From the British Queen.) The first experiments which took place on Friday at Woolwich, with the great projectile as prepared by the Duke of Normandie, although they did not prove suc cessful in carrying out the intended effects, yet were sufficient to convince us that he will, in a very few days, produce other shells, which will entirely remedy the de fect in those used on Friday ; and will enable him to realise the most sanguine expectation entertained of them. The chief cause of the failure of the experiments was in the screw which fixes the brass cap to the shell. It was found by far too weak to resist the force of the powder when the cannon was fired ; consequently the cap, in every case, was instantly broken off, and the in ternal preparation of the shell exposed to the blaze of the powder, which ignited it, and the shell exploded at the cannon's mouth. This defect can easily be remedied. One or two other minor defects were pointed out to us by the inventor, which can be as easily removed. The caps proved to have too much metal in them, and pro ject more than is necessary. In the next experiments they will be made much lighter ; and, instead of being fixed on the shell, will be let into it, and form a part of it, by which means they will become perfectly secure against the causes which exploded them so prematurely. FURTHER PARTICULARS.—WOOLWICH, SATURDAY The powerful engine, under the preparation of the Duke of Normandie, was examined this day, at three o'clock, in the presence of Major Belson, when it was ascertained that the mechanism which was to have given the explosion to the engine was not in action. It is supposed that the fly did not take motion when the machine was wound up and set for a given time, which accounts for. the explosion not taking place at the appointed minute. In consequence of this, it was determined that the machine should be exploded by other means. This was done, and the explosion was of a character almost impossible to describe ; although the engine was small, it dislodged and blew to a dis tance of several hundred yards, at least 50 square yards of the clayey stiff soil in which it was buried ; it formed a crater of about 15 feet deep at the moment of explo sion, the air was filled with balls and shells, which emitted a blaze of light, and then, in falling to the earth, burst in succession, equalling a discharge of musketry. We congratulate the Duke on his success ; and are glad to find that the Duke is about immediately to produce two other engines on the same construction, the ma chinery of which shall be made perfect and explode at the time given. GLOOMY PROSPECTS OF THE HARVESTS IN FRANCE. Pan's, Joni 22.—With unfeigned concern I turn to-day from politics to a subject of an infinitely mere important natui e than the success of Radical or Conservative—the weather. Yesterday was stormy and showery as usual. With the ex ception of a few drops of rain which fell at eleven o'clock this foremon, this was, until three o'clock, a fine, windy, warm day. At that hour, however, came on a storm with rain from the S.W., which, although it lasted but for a brief space, will pos sibly have replaced the crops in the situation in which the previous rains had left them. I shall drop narrative, however, in order to communicate to you the observations, reflections, calculations, and assurances I have received from the very best authority in Europe on the subject. "Since Saturday last the price of flour in the Paris market has risen 7f. the sack, of 159 kilogrammes, or 3181b5., nearly 3 cwt. Within three weeks the price of wheat has risen 23 per cent. It is not, however, in France alone that this calamity begins to be experiencEd ; the north of Europe suffers, and fears even more. Already the price of wheat had risen at Dantzic to 19f. the hectolitre. What the situation of Great Britain and her dependencies is, in this respect, you require not that I tell you. Everything depends upon the weather during the next ten days. lithe weather continue bad, not only will the quality of the harvest, already seriously compromised, be still more de teriorated, but the quantity, which appeared sufficient, will be no longer so. Thus, from the present date to the 2d or 7th of next month (that is, in ten or fifteen days), we may incur that irreparable calamity, a very deficient harvest of bad quality; and hence it is on the barometer, on the thermometer, and on the eudometer, that the statesman must keep his eye during that period, and not upon the political balance. " Should the weather prove unfavourable in that interval, whither are we (France and England) to turn for supplies? You (English) have already tried the northern markets of Eu rope, but you were too late. Those of the United States of America alone hold out hope to you. " Are you aware that one day's consumption of corn in France is equal to the freight of 175 vessels of 100 tons each ? and that a day's consumption of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland would freight 145 vessels of the same burden? Thus it would require 320 vessels to convey to England and France a single day's supply of corn or flour. Taking the va lue of the article at 400 f. (161. sterling) the ton, a day's con sumption would cost 12,800,000 f., or rather more than half a million sterling. " In 1816 there were at this season 23 days of rain, which produced 96 centimetres, or very nearly three feet of water. The temperature was 2h degrees (of Reaumur) lower than at present, and it caused France to expend extraordinarly 1,700,000,000 f., or 68,000,000/. sterling. " The consequences of that dreadful season were, that Great Britain imported in 1817 supplies for thirty-six days; in 1818, for seventy-three days; in 1819 (when the dearth had ceased), for twenty-six days. " The comparison between 1816 and the present year is rather in our favour, but I cannot too often repeat, all depends upon the weather during the next ten or fifteen days." It were presumptuous in me to attempt to add a single word to this communication. The Duke and Duchess of Richmond and family have left Goodwood, Lord William Lennox will do the honours there during the race week, and the Hon. G. Byng will act as steward for the Earl of March. _ --- In 1674 the summer in Scotland was remark ably hot. It is related that one of the minions of tyranny, who at that calamitous period harassed the poor Presbyterians with captious questions, having asked a shepherd of Fife " Whether the killing of Sharp, Archbishop of St. Andrew's (which had happened in May) was murder?" he replied "that he could not tell, but that there had been fine weather ever since." The stormy weather during the week has con siderably delayed the arrival of the steamers from France, Holland, and - Belgium. On Thursday several vessels were six and eight hours longer than usual on their, respective voyage and three steamers expected on Thursday . afternoon from' Scotland, Dublin, and Rotterdam, did not arrive till Friday morning. MORN I NTG- SI I tol, THE PUbEIITES. The baneful effects of the immense mischief which you and your co-Tractarians are doing to the Chureiici become every day more' painfully-visible i n strife and bitterness. Can we be siitrised that Dissen t should in crease, that new chapels and cotiventi e l e s should ri se u p in all directions, when the Church has within her pale such a Dissenter aS ourself ? I have been in All the Catholic countries in . Europe ; I have hear d controver sial sermons preached in many of them, and with the el; ception of Spain, where I was disgusted with a frantic effusion bellowed out by a merciless monk , I solemnl y declare that I have never heard from any pulpit the tenth part of the Wrath poured forth aga inst one °f , authors of the Reformation, that you have poured fort" against one of the authors of the Emancipation Act--; the founder and patron of the Tamworth news-rooltu LP° the Protestant countries of the Continen t I fOund clergy, whether of the Lutheran or Calvinistic codes-. sions, influenced by a very different spirit from that which rages in your rhapsodies. I found them. learned! pious, mild, and tolerant. But, perhaps, you_ would call them Socinians, Sceptics, Latitudinarians. hv ? 13 ' cause they preach the Gospel in peace, and revile not those whom they cannot convert. How; truly and apostolical is their spirit, as contrasted with yours. In dealing with your adversariesoou make a merit of di_r claiming Christian charity. In all their discourses, 0 1 highest aim and most earnest desire is to promulgate an enforce it. Yet are they, as Lutherans, or as Calvinists!. more true to their tenets than you are to the tenets 01 the Church of England. They are not men, wit°, from. interested motives, would make an outward profese: pure of acquiescence in articles of faith, to which; in conscience they could not subscribe.--Letta to tbe...tii o ; -; ,ftbe British Critic, by .Verus, in defence of sifit ii llf ; Peel.
