MORN INU EDITION POLITICAL SUMMARY OF THE MORNING JOURNALS. The Morning Chronicle thus accounts for the result of the East Surrey Election :—" The lateness of the appear ance of Mr. Alcock, and the knowledge that the 'furies had turned the delay to the beat account, led to a very general belief that if he proceeded to the poll, still it was almost impossible that he should succeed ; and it is well known that electors will not brave intimidation and in ctr the trouble of polling, especially if the season be in clement, when not buoyed up by the hope of success. That in this case undue influence and intimidation have been exercised is notorious. Tory Magistrates at the polling-booths displayed their partisanship in the most striking manner. One peer, the Earl of Eldon, actually voted for Mr. Antrobus; and when a Peer ventured on such a step, it may easily be conceived that other supporters of Mr. Antrobus would by nu means be scrupulous. Mr. Alcock is well entitled to the thanks of the electors of East Surrey far the di termination he has evinced in their cause. The battle which he has fought will satisfy the electors that if they are true to their cause, he will be true to them. In fact, he fought this battle with a view to a future one." The Times, speaking of Mr. Marshall's proposal far ex tending the franchise, says_" Ask the working men in America what precise benefit they draw, or whether they draw any benefit at all from the possession of the elective franchise ? Apart from the occasional fingering of a mise rable bribe, the practice of which in the United States is ra common and current as political venality can make it, they toil their six days a week, earn their scanty wages, and lam as desperate a struggle with poverty as our un !taffies NI operatives at home. Republican bribery, as we may take a future opportunity of showing, is the rottenest and most pernicious bribery in existence. Then, what sort of senators should we have under Mr. Marshall's con templated regime ? Men returned to Parliament without a proper qualification, and paid a salary by their consti tuents, would in a'l probability be the purchaseable tools of any Ministry that might choose to bid high enough for their co-operation or connivance ; and if Parliaments were annual, the fugitive nature of their delegated henours, in stead of enhancing responsibility, would furnish only the stronger motive for reaping an early harvest of corruption. The Morning Post, speaking of Lord Morpeth'a Irish Registration Bill, says :—" It was net we believe unti within three days of Lord litlorpeth's proposition of his new Irish measure to the House of Commons, that a sudden thought struck her Majesty's Cabinet, and they said to one another, ' Well, if we must, we must, so good bye to the finality of the Reform Act. Perhaps it is as well to begin with Ireland.' What was it induced this sudden determination—this zeal for a new elective fran chise in Ireland—this new sense of the propriety of refus ing any amendment of the acknowledged abuses in the registration, unless a complete change were made in the nature of the franchise to be registered ? We believe it was a communication from Mr. O'Connell. At all events, whatever the means may have been, one cannot but admire the very ready and offhand manner in which Ministers made up their minds to an important change in the legis lative constitution of the country. Other Ministers would have had scruples, perhaps a little obstinacy might have been displayed, in adhering to what they had so often avowed their determination not to change. But our pre sent Ministers, delightfully accustomed as they are to the amenities of a polite and dignified Court, yielded to the necessity of circumstances with an admirable grace, which found its appropriate organ in the witty and elegant Vis count Morpeth." The Morning Advertiser contains the following re marks on the subject of Copyright in Designs :—" The manufacturers of France are protected, even to perpetuity, upon the payment cf certain small fees, and the system has worked well because the law has afforded them the advantage of protection against piracy ; and why should it not work equally well in this country ? Is it to be imagined for a moment that a designer, or the proprietor of a design, will deem it worth his while to incur the same expense and the same labour when he knows that the fruits of his genius or industry may become common property in three months, instead of common property in twelve? There has been, and there is still, a narrow minded view on this and a variety of other subjects. On this par.icular subject, a question of time has been mooted ; but the genuine question is not a question of time, but a question of national prosperity and supremacy. The Morning Herald comments as follows on the Go vernment Local Courts' Bill :—" What does it propose to do ? To give cheap justice' to the people. Well, but we want security that what it still give to the people will be 'justice' at all. A bad article at a low price is usually no bargain. And we say there is no security afforded by this Bill that the article of which it is to re gulate the sale will be a good one. On the contrary, the Bill furnishes in itself strong presumptive grounds for be lieving that the sort of ' justice' which it is to dispense will not be that which is likely to command the public confi dence. Its provisions violate great principles which long experience have shown to be necessary for the securing to the public a pure, upright, and efficient adminis. tration of justice. One of those principles is, that Judges appointed by the Crown should not be removeable at the pleasure of the Crown, or, in other words, at the pleasure of the Secretary of State for the Home Department, who represents that portion of the executive Government which concerns the administration of justice. The Government Bill proposes that the local Judges to be appointed under it to the itinerant Courts, should be wholly dependent upon the Minister of the Crown. That affords no guaran tee forjastice to the suitors. The tenure of the judicial appointments is to be as uncertain as the locality of the Courts—the one is to be unfixed, the other ambulatory. FROII THE EVENING PAPERS OF SATURDAY. (From the Globe.) We are not about to institute an investigation into the causes of epidemic diseases, nor will we attempt to define the occult properties of the atmosphere, by which the human constituticn is affected by disease or recover- ed to health. The Marquis of Normanby last night availed himself of scientific investigation, illustrated by facts, sufficiently to establish the case he presented to the House ; and carried with him not merely the feelings but the judgments of their Lordships, so as to secure the adoption of the measure he proposed, not merely with. out opposition, but with strong expressions of commenda tion. Every man who desires to secure himself and those of his own house from the visitation of epidemic diseases, should be sensible of these facts—establ'shed as they are by the testimony of the most eminent in medical science—that the air is often charged with noxious exhalations, arising from the putrefaction of animal and vegetable matter. The exhalations arc generated in low and marshy situations, or where stagnant water contains dead vegetable matter ; and their production is greatly promoted by heat. Their precise nature is not known ; for they have never been obtained in a separate state ; but it is ascertained that they are suspended in the air ; that naturally they do not extend far beyond the place where they are generated ; that by currents of wind they are capable of being carried to a great dis tance ; that they exert a powerful agency in the pro duction of the most malignant diseases ; and that a long exposure of them wonderfully shortens human life. Tha ravages of the cholera in 1831 will not be soon forgotten. The statistical inquiries to which that fearful visitation gave rise., afford a powerful illustration of the necessity of some sanatory regulations, to be provided by the Le gislature, and guarded and enforced by the penalties of law. The writer of this article was at that time rk sident io a town where the number of victims was very great, in proportion to the number of the inhabitants. A committee of haalth was appointed. As the disease %vas principally confined to one . Part of the town, a searching inveztigation was instituted, in the hope of discovering some peculiarity in the locality by which the pestilence might possibly be caused. An old drain, leading to the river ) , was opened ; end such was the p es tif erous exhalation wiNcli issued iin mediately upon its covering being removed, t hat quick-lime in large quantities was required to neutralize the foul ex halations which arose, before the workmen could com mence the necessary operations. The main channel was found blocked, and the smaller drains from the houses which communicated with it were also clogged. Along the sinuous course of the main sewer, extending through a considerable district, the disease rag e d. T he cause of the pestilence was detected ; a lime-kiln was built for the purpose of purifying the atmosphere ; the drains were cleansed ; and the disease was arrested from that very hour. Not a single case of cholera oc curred after the cause was discovered—a coth i aeing proof of its origin ; and furnishing a powerful warning to the inhabitants of that town, and to all others, against suffering accumulations of noxious matter, which, sooner or latter, will not fail to generate pestilence and death. (From the Courier.) Lord Eilenborough, who of late years has made pro digious advances in the science of political economy, as evidenced in his patronage of New Poor-law mercies, appears also, in imitation of the Right Rev. Metropo litan Suffragan, to be making considerable progress in the new Drainage philosophy. He attributes wonders miraculous to sewerage, which the world never dreamt of before, for the very best benefit con ferred by sewers, as vulgarly believed, is that they afford convenient and comfortable shelter for the rat consumers of garbage and other impurities out of sight, instead of leaving them exposed, as in the streets of Lisbon and Paris, to the pelting of the pitiless elements in the pur suit ef their vocation. His Lordship gives us cause for bitter regret that the following remarks were not present to his mind on any one of the multifarious occasions when the new Poor-law and its murderous tendencies came before the House of which he is so active a Member. For the reporters make him say that " he believed the moral and religious improvement of the poor to be totally inconsistent with their physical degradation. To build churches, to build school-houses, and t o emp l oy cicr eytnen and s ehoolirr.sters, was in his opinion utterly idle, while the physical wants and destitution of the poor continued as debasing es they now were. W e b„,_ gait too far from the real source of the evil, unless we placed the poor man in such a position that he might hive some self-respect—that he might have something like a home. The object of their legislation should be —what perhaps this Bill would do ultimately—to secure a home to the poor man." This is generally excellent, although we think the Noble Lord is superfluously earnest about a " home" for the poor man, seeing that a very secure " home" has been provided for him al ready in those Bastiles, denominated " Union Work bouses:' We are entirely of his opinion that, until the " physical" wants of the people are first and well at tended to, it is but a cruel mockery to be legislating for their " moral and te r gious irrai rovement." But when he was so eloquent in demonstratieg the inutility of build ing churches and school-houses, and employing clergy men and schoolmasters, With a view to elevate the con dition of the poor socially, morally, and religiously, "Mead of previously relieving them from the debasing degradation of " physical wants and desti tution," we are rather surprised that his Lordship should, as it would almost seem with purpose " afore thought" carefully omit from his enumerated buildings those dungeon structures called " Union Workhouses ;" and from the list of benefactors and instructors of the poor, those tender-hearted souls, the Somerset House Commissioners, their Secretary, their assistants, and their deputed deputies, the guardians, relieving officers, and masters of the workhouses. These arc the people for freeing the poor fully and finally from all physical wants, which of course supersedes the expensive neces sity of churches, clergymen, schoolmasters, Drainage Bills, and all other the array for moral and religious in struction, comprehended in what the Right Rev. Bishop of London terms " the appliances of religion." In truth, the poor have plenty of lip-salve, whatever else more sub stantial they may be short of. (From the Standard.) What is the use of Mr. Joseph Hume ? is a ques tion often asked, but a question which cannot be long doubtful to any reflecting man. Nothing is created in vain, though we cannot always reach the pur pose with which some animals are called into existence—many reptiles, for example, and some familiar vermin. Much as we may be perplexed to discover the use of these things, the analogy of nature assures us that they have a use. In the case of Mr. Joseph Hume the inquiry is the re verse of difficult. He is created and permitted to exist as the representative of a principle—if we may dignify with the name of principle, the enmity to what ever is reverent, generous, and amiable. We have men who hate a Church, and hate pure religion—the reli gion of Protestants—we have too. many of such men ; but as they are generally perms of mixed character, the manifestation of their hostility does not produce the proper effect in showing why the Church and the Protestant religion are hated. Again, we have more than enough of Malthusians, free traders, clippers and parers of the salaries of soldiers, sailors, and humble officials, new Poor-law admirers ; but these men, too, are of doubtful conduct in other respects. There are some amongst us, too, so eaten up with envy and spite as to regard every man with abhorrence who has earned the affections and gratitude of his country by splendid public services. These persons, however, are often wanting in the qualifications of a perfect model. What is necessary for the information of the public mind is a meeting in one of certain qualities, until, as Junius says, " their combined sweets torture the sense." Every one knows that Apelles formed his ideal of consummate beauty by a selection from the charms of all the fairest of the fair daughters of Greece ; and it is only by a similar selection, though on the side opposite to moral beauty, that we can have a perfect representative of the anti• Conservative. It will not do that we have here an anti-Churchman, who may be a generous and fair man in other respects ; or there a pro-Papist, who may be distinguished by some good qualities ; or in another place a Malthusian free trader, who may respect the constitution and laws ; or beside him an envious, who may not be an ungenerous, person. Such distributed qualities prove little ; but when we have them united in one, the tS pe of all the classes, there can be no mistake as to the true source of each distinguishing characteristic ; and all of them we have united in the Hon. Member for Kilkenny. Let no man then say that Mr. Hume is not of use—his morale, as a means of public instruction, is beyond alt price. Last night s exhibition of Mr. Hume, the Ministerialist, in 'con tact with Sir Robert Peel, the leader of the Oppo sition, is of great value. Ministers proposed a pen sion to Lord Keane. Mr. Hume objected to the grant, upon the pretext that the Noble and Gallant Lord lies under an unexplained charge of murder! au thenticated by the names of his accusers. Sir Robert Peel indignantly defended the absent Noble. man—showed that the charge of murder amounted to this :—A marauder had been wounded by a vidette, posted by Lord Keane's order to protect the peaceful agriculturalists of a part of Affghanistan occu pied by her Majesty's troops : the fellow had died of the wound ; and the regiment to which he belonged having misbehaved in the face of the enemy twelve months after, thought fit to trump up this fable of murder, as an apology for their cowardice. Mr. Hume's assertion that the charge had been authenticated by names proved to have been an utter falsehood, as it is impossible to doubt that it -was a deliberate one. Let any one read Sir Robert Peel's splendid speech, and then say, if he can, that the person whose conduc called for that speech is of no use. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS (FRIDAY EVENING.) CHRONICLE.—As the Committee on banks of issue has been re-appointed, we have good grounds for expect ing that no obstacles will now be allowed to stand in the way of a complete investigation into "" i the effects produced on the circulation of the country by the various banking esta blishments issuing notes payable on demand." Such were the words used on the first appointment of the Committee, and we suppose they have not been altered on their re-appointment. There is, perhaps, an unnecessary de gree of vagueness in the words used, and Mr. Hume re gretted that the Chancellor of the Exchequer had not stated what was the object of the Committee, and the re sult which was wished for. On that subject the recent pamphlet by Mr. Norman may be consulted with much benefit, and it is to be hoped that the Committee will accordingly avoid the rock on which they struck during last Session, by getting tossed about in a sea of confusion relative to what Mr. Norman terms "the economising expedients, or the auxiliary currency." The words of their appointment point out the "effect of notes issued payable on demand " as the object of their inquiry. There is no mention of bills of exchange on bankers' checks, and it is not necessary for the Committee to lase sight of the main object by going too much into abstract examinations regarding these matters, and as to what are strictly speaking "deposits " and what are not. The amount of bills of exchange current must depend greatly on the comparative value of money. They are regulated by the state of credit. When money is cheap, that is, with a full currency, and when banking accommodation is obtained on easy terms, the amount of inland bills of exchange will increase—will be large. When money is tight, that is, when the bank has put on the screw," the bills current will be diminished, although we have seen cases of exceptions, owing to the temptation to increase discounts during a pressure for money, from the high rate of interest. But as a general rule, we may state with safety that the amount of banking accommodation will be diminished in proportion with an increase in the value of money. That increase is chiefly produced by a diminution in the amount of the eircula• tion, or, in other words, of the notes issued by the vari ous banking establishments payable on demand. Thus we see that the notes payable on demand form the basis of the bill or auxiliary currency, as the bullion ought to form the basis on which paper issues should, on the other hand, depend. By a rigid shifting, then, into the effect of these piper issws upon prices, and on the relative val ue o f ne , ney , t h e Committee Rill get to the foundation of the whsle fabric of our bill system, and they will find also, if we be not very much mistaken, that the fro:pent ups and downs " which sfiret our Money Market, and derange the great commercial transactions of the c-iuntry, are to be traced to a departure from that rule of " convertibility " which ought to govern the ope rations of all banks of issue, squaring their liabilities, by a regard to the state of the foreign exchanges and the rela tive amount of bullion. There never Vi :13 a more striking statement than that of the late Mr. Page on the subject of paper issues, that they formed a strange exception to the general law of men being bound to pay interest upon their debts. Notes payable on demand are nothing more nor less than debts, and yet the debtors receive interest upon their amount, and the greater their debts the greater their profits. TIM E S.—A commercial letter from Madrid of the 2d inst. intimates, though rather vaguely, that the Spanish Gavernment has formed the magnificent project of esta blishing a control over the opium trade with China. For this purpose it has been suggested to throw open all the ports in the Philippine Islands as places of deposit and transit for the merchandise of ill nations, on payment of a moderate duty. From this it is anticipated that a con sidereble revenue will arise, of which the Government is well known to stand in great need, and, if successful, there would also be a point gained of immense import ance to the country, imparting to it altogether a new character in regard to commercial affairs. These are the governing motives, without doubt, of the menaajtiztehdye. helm, but it ne e d not b e remarked that there exists hardl the slightest ch ance o f these o b jects being realized. Men who have so much difficulty in preserving a smooth and even course at home are necessarily too feeble to ope rate at all in such distant possessions as the Philippine Is lands, which their having retained at all under the many changes Spain has undergone is next to a miracle.

LAW INTELLIGENCE. QUEENS BENCH, FRB. 13. THE QUEEN V. LORD WALDEGRAVE AND CAPTAIN DUFF. The Court was exceedingly crowded long before the usual hour of commencing proceedings, it being understood that the trial of the above case would take place in the course of the day. There were three cases before it. namely, " The Queen v. Moxon"—TheQueen v. Fraser"—and the Queen v. Otley." The above cases were indictments against the defendants, well known booksellers and publishers at the west-end of the town, for selling certain books which it was alleged con tained articles of a blasphemous nature. It was under stood that the prosecutions were instituted by Henry Hetherington, the bookseller, in the Strand, who, a fortnight since, was convicted of a similar offence in this Court, and sentenced to four months' imprison ment. In his case cheap blasphemous books were sold. In that of the present defendants, the alleged blasphe mous works ware dear, and circulated only among the higher orders of society. When the cases were called on it was found that there was not a sufficient number of special jury men in attendance to enable the trials to proceed, and as the defendants' counsel refu►ed to join in a prayer for a tales, which was made by the counsel for the prosecution, the trials were necesear4 postponed until the next term. The case of The Queen v. Waldegrave and another," was then called on and again it was found that there was not a sufficient number of special jurymen in attendance. But both parties having prayed a tales, a jury consisting of six, and as many common jury, was formed. When they were about to be sworn, a long consultation took place between Sir F. Pollock, Mr. Thesiger, Mr. James, and Mr. Wortley (the counsel engaged for the defendants). At length, Sir F. POLLGCK, addressing Lord Denman, said, my Lord, I appear before your Lordship on the part of one of the defendants in this case (Captain Duff). It was very late before I received my brief. Mr. Thesi ger appears on the behalf of the other defendant, and I am icstructed now to say, that as far as both the de fendants arc concerned they are anxious that I on their part and behalf should take the earliest opportunity (and which they do under the advice of their Counsel), of making the only reparation in their power, by re questing that the Court will give them permission to withdraw their pleas of Not Guilty, and to suffer judg ment by default, and I trust that under the circum stances your Lordship will allow them to adopt this Course. Mr. THESIGEEt said, I have the same application to make to your Lordship on the part of the other de fendant. Lord DENMAN—What do the Counsel on the other side say to this ? Mr. CHAMBERS said, I appear as Counsel for the prosecution. The defendants may withdraw their pleas as a matter of right. I, of course, cannot oppose their doing so. Sir F. POLLOCK said, the defendants wish me to ex press their anxious desire to do in every way whatever the Court may call upon them to do under the circum stances, in order to show that they are fully sen sible of the impropriety of their conduct, and anxious to make every reparation in their power. Lord DENMAN—The case is one that will perhaps admit of private reparation being made. The defen dants may withdraw their pleas and plead guilty. Sir F. PoLtocx—The defendants are deeply in debted to your Lordship for that observation. The de fendants then, by their Counsel, withdrew their pleas of Not Guilty, and pleaded Guilty, and it is under stood that they will be brought up for judgment next term, but in the mean time they, will make the prose cutor some compensation for the dreadful injury he has sustained. It will be recollected that the defendants in the above esse, Lord Waldegrave and Captain Duff, were indicted at the Middlesex July Session, for a most vio lent assault upon William Wheatley, a policeman, un der the following circumstances. Lord Waldegrave and Captain Duff accompanied by two other gentle men, who have not yet been identified, sallied out of his Lordship's house at Strawberry Hill, near Kingston, about 12 o'clock on the night of the 4th of June, for what is termed a " lark." They proceeded across the river to Hampton 'Wick, and after indulging them selves some time in the gentlemanly amusement of pul ling the bells, wrenching off knockers, &c., they went to the cottage of a poor woman, who gets her living by mangling, and were in the act of tearing down a board that was over the door, with the words " Mangling done here," upon it, when they were observed by a mounted sergeant of police. Oa seeing him, one of them said, " we aro smoked ;" and pretended that they had called at the cottage for some purpose. Another said " its no use, they arc gone to bed." They then laid hold of the sergeant's horse, and when doing so, he remon strated, desiring they would let him alone. At this moment the prosecutor came up, when the sergeant said, " Tu-n your light on these gentlemen's faces, and see if you know any of them." The poor fellow had no sooner done so, than he was knocked down by the defendants and their companions, and beat in a most brutal manner. The sergeant rode off for assistance. On his return the gentlemen had all made off, leaving the prosecutor laying in the road in a state of insensi bility, and bleeding profusely. He has been ill ever since, and is at the present moment under the doctor's hands—and it is feared that he will ultimately lose his senses. The Commissioners of Police, on hearing of the affair, very properly instituted the present pro secution. The defendants removed the indictment, by certiorari, from the Middlesex Sessions into the above Court, and the result is as above stated. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, FRB 13. (Sittings in London before Mr. Baron GURNEY and Common Juries.) THE LONDON AND WESTMINSTER BANIC,--BOSANQUET AND OTHERS V. CAUSER. Mr. Platt, with whom was Mr. Batt, appeared for the plaintiffs, the trustees of the London and West minster Bank ; and Mr. Erle and Mr. Humfrey for the defendant. Mr. BUTT, in opening the pleadings, said that the action was brought by the plaintiffs on a cheek for 5001. drawn by the defendant, and bearing date the 31st of March, 1840, made payable at Messrs. Barnard, Dimsdale, and Co.'s. That check the defendant had passed to a person, a customer of the London and Westminster Bank, of the natne of Uhippenford, who had passed it to the manager of the Company's branch back at Whitechapel. The defendant pleaded that the check had been made for the accommodation of Chippenford, and that no consideration had passed between them for it. He further pleaded that the check had been paid over to the said manager, the representative of the plaintiffs, without any consideration. Mr. Ertex then said that, by the nature of the plead ings which the Jury had just heard from his Learned Friend, it devolved on him, as the Counsel for the de fendant, to establish the affirmative of the pleas he had put upon the record. The action, as they had already learned, was brought by the plaintiffs in the character of the trustees of the London and Westminster Bank ing Company, to recover from the defendant, who was a gram-, the amount of 5001. upon his check. It ap peared that a firm of the name of Chippenford and Fos ter had carried on business as grocers in Leadenhall street, and had kept an account at the Whitechapel branch establishment of this Banking Company. Of that branch a person of the name of Rees was mana ger, who turned out to be a private friend of Chippen ford. This partnership was dissolved, and by the terms of the dissolution it was agreed that Chip penford should receive all the accounts due to, and pay the debts owing by, the partnership. Subsequently to this separation Chippenford went into partnership with an individual of the name of Silverlock. Now, it seemed to be the rule of the Banking Company, that one or more of the Directors should, at the expiration of each quarter, visit the various branch establishments, for the purpose of examining the accounts. The account of Chippenford, in the course of time, became considerably overdrawn, whereupon the manager called upon him to place in his hands securities, in order that his account might present a d fferent appearance than it really bore when the Director should come down to make his exa mination ; and that, in the event of that party asking for an explanation, he should be in a position to exhibit the checks or bills which were lodged with him as papers which had been deposited as securities. At this period the account had been overdrawn to the tune of some thousands. Chippenford thereupon went to his friends ens' procured checks for different sums from them, the whole of which he handed to the manager, upon the promise of that party that they should be weturned to him after the examination of the accounts had been completed. The check which formed the subject of the present action was one of those checks. On these occasions there was a promise given by the manager that the checks should not be presented, and should be re turned; but it so happened that this particular check had not he returned. In the month of March last Chippen ford called upon the defendant with a request that he would giv e him two checks for five hundred pounds each. This request was complied with, upon the usual understanding that they should not be presented at his bankers, but returned to him. 11;s applications for their return, however, were in this instance of no avail, Chippenford telling him that the manager had them, but would not present them. On the 15th of June, howev er the D:re c t ors o f t h e Bank ing Company having had their suspicions aroused as to the way in which Rao, the manager, was conducting their business, dismissed him, and took possession of all with Rees Rees by Chippen ford. checks for 5001. the papers which we re upon the premi ses . A mongst each,thos whichpapers h w ad ere be th e e n d l e o f d e g n e d d ant w ' s ford. One of those checks was subsequently presented at the banker's of the defendant and paid ; but, on tho presentation of the the sec ond, the attention of th e h ouse was attracted by the stale ness of date it bore— namely, March--'-'3' bast its , presentation was not unt il after the middle of June. The bankers, therefore, sent to the defendant upon the subject, who gave instruc tions that it should not be paid, and this action for the recovery of the amount was the consequence. The Learned Counsel concluded a lengthened address, by THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 15, stating that he should prove that there had been no consideration given either by Chippenford to the defen dant, or by Rees to Chippenford, for the check ; and having done that, he should have sustained the pleas the defendant had put upon the record, and thereby entitled himself to the verdict. The plain fact was that the plaintiffs had mistaken their remedy. However, he would call Edward Chippenford. Mr. PLATT objected io this witness being examined, on the ground that he had a direct interest io the result of the trial. Mr. ERLE contended that he was a proper witness, seeing that the verdict as between the present plaintiffs and the defendant could in no way affect him, Mr. PLATT replied that with regard to the question of costs there would be a direct interest, even though the verdict itself might not affect the witness. Mr. Baron GURNEY said he would take a note of the objection and evidence of the witness subject to a motion. The witness was then examined and went into a his tory of the proceeding as has been detailed by the Learned Counsel. He had overdrawn his account, and had borrowed this check from the defendant, and lodged with various others, with Rees, it being agreed be tween them that they were to be returned to him after the directors or trustees had made the quarterly exami nation of the accounts. The object of the proceeding was to make his account look as though it was not so much overdrawn as it in reality was. Cross-examined by Mr. PLATT—He did not think his account was overdrawn so much as 3,884/. odd in December, 1839, although he thought it might have been as much as about 2,000/. When he received some of these checks from his friends, he had generally given counter-checks to be handed back to him when he returned the original cheeks. Those checks, how ever, were never presented, neither of course were they ever paid. Re-examined—He had not bean table to get his pass book from the hank, and therefore he could not tell what the balance against him was. Rees, the late manager of the kV hitechapel Branch Bank, was next examined. H e confirmed the state ment of the last witness as to there having been an arrangement between them on the subject of the return of this and other checks after the Director should have completed his examination of the books. He had no authority from the Directors to make such arrange ments. The practice had been to take credit in the books for these checks, but there had been no entry afterwards made on their being returned to Chippenford. Mr. Baron GURNEY told the witness it was well for him that he bad not been placed at the bar of the Old Bailey. Cross-examination continued—The amounts of these checks were placed to the credit side of Chippenford's account for the purpose of preventing the Directors from discovering that it was in reality so much over drawn. The checks, however, were to be returned to Chippenford. That party had applied for the checks of the defendant, but it had so chanced that he had not given them to him ; but he said they should not be presented for payment. . .. Mr. PLATT was pursuing his cross examination of this witness, when Mr. Baron GURNEY asked him if he was not satis fied ; did he want any more than he had alr•ady elicited from this witness? Mr. PLATT would not put another question after such an, intimation. Mr. Baron GURNEY then, in leaving the case to the Jury, drew their attention to the fact that Chippenford had given in counter checks at the time he had received these checks from his friends. That was a fact of consi derable importance when they looked at one of the pleas which the defendant had put upon the record, vz. that the checks had passed from the defendant to Chippenford without any consideration. It was quite clear that R the manager of this branch bank, had been in concert with one of its customers to practise a deception, a fraud, upon the Directors of the Company. It was one of the must disgraceful and most infamous proceedings he had ever heard of ; and he would repeat what he had said before. that it was well for Rees he had not been taken to the bar of the Old Bailey. Indeed, both of the witnesses had laid themselves open to indictments for their conduct. With regard to the plea of "no con sideration," he would direct the Jury that the fact of the counter check having been given for the check in question, was in point . of law a sufficient consideration. _ . The Jury, intimated that they had agreed to find a verdict for the plaintiffs, damages 5001.—Verdict taken accordingly. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, FEP. 13. (Sittings at Nisi Prius, before the LORD CHIEF JUSTICE and a Common Jury.) MILLAR V. THOMPSON. The plaintiff is a tradesman carrying on business at Dorking, and brings this action against one of the direc tors of the " Joint Stock Trades Banking Company," to recover 1001., the amount of a promissory note signed by the Manager on behalf of the Company. It appeared that the note was put into the hands of one of the Directors, named Francis, to be put into circul:.- tion for the purposes of the Company, and be applied it to his own use, paying it over to the present plaintiff' in discharge of a book debt. The defence was that the Company had been defrauded of the bill, and that Millar knew it ; and secondly, that there had been no consideration. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE wis of opinion that the defendant failed to prove that there was no considera tion, or that the plaintiff knew of the fraud committed on them. Verdict for the plaintiff. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, FEN. 12. (13Jore Mr. Commissioner Eva Na.) IN TILE MATTER OF JAMES GOLDIE. This was the day fixed for the choice of assignees in the matter of the bankrupt, who was formerly the manager in the large establishment of Messrs. Smith, the extensive distillers at Thames-bank, but had latterly kept a distillery on his own account in Whitechapel. His debts and lia bilities are said to be very heavy, and though his as;cts could not be accurately estimated, they arc considered to be rather billing. L was stated at the commencement of the proceedings that the choice of assignees was to be contested, but eventually it turned out that no opposition list was handed in. The Court was extremely crowded, and proofs were ad mitted for 21,000/. The assignees appointed were Mr. Staving and Mr. Smaal (the gentleman whose name has been so much be. fore the public in the case of Small and Atwood), and Mr. Smith, the distiller of Thames-bank. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HO USE, Mr. Forster, of the flange of Forster and Smith, of Naw City Chambers, appeared to complain against a druggist who hid been employed by the ship's-husband of the Nunez, to supply medieices to that vessel on her voyage to the coast of Africa, six months ago. He stated that he had given due notice to the druggist to at tend, but it did not appear that the defendant meant to keep his word to appear upon his defence, although the charge was a very serious one. Alderman PIRIE, who presided, stated that the case was one of very great public importance, and he should hear the circumstances whether the accused made his appearance or not. The defendant having been called several times by the officer, and no answer having been returned, Mr: Forster proceeded to state the particulars. Having heard from the Captain of the Nunez that con siderable sickness had taken place on board the vessel, which had been detained in the rainy season on the coast of Africa, he made the inquiries. which might be reasonably expected. In the course of the conversa tion, the Captain said that his-medicine chest appeared to have been badly fitted up, and that the medicines were so adulterated as to be altogether useless. As the directions issued by the house in which he (Mr. Forster) was a partner, with regard to every ship with which they were connected, were, that 'no expense should be spared in the medicine chest, he gave orders that the medicine chest of the Nunez should be ex amined, and Mr. Battley, of Fore-street, having ex amined it, the following letter was received from that gentleman's house : " Cripplegate, Jan. :8,1841. " Sir,—Mr. Battley desires me to say, that he has examined the medicines you sent here yesterday, with the following result :—The calomel be finds to be the best of the medicines which the chest contains, but net perfectly in a pure stt,te. The Dover's powder, rhu barb, and jalap, exceedingly bad, so much as to be ob vious to a casual observer. With regard to the tine. tures, they contain little or no spirit, and are evidently not made according to the direction which the College of Physicians lays down. The rest of the medicines and preparations are for the most part very indifferent. Mr. I3attley further desires roe to say, that Mr. Ban bury, of the firm of Messrs. Allen, Banbury, and Co. of Plough -court, has likewise inspected the medicines, and perfectly coincides with Mr. Battley in his opinion of them.—l am, Sir (for R. Battley), your obedient servant, " ED WARD JO W E TT." —Upon finding that the medicines supplied for such a pl...cc as the coast . of Africa were of such a description, he (Mr. Forster) determined, for the public safety, to institute an i nqu i ry , part i cu l ar l y as Sir Henry Hilford, the President o f th e C o ll ege o f Physicians, expressed a decided opinion that something ought to be done with the vendor of such vile medicines ; and as the distribu tion of medicines in merchant ships depended upon the captains, he ascertained that the practice of supplying bad medicine to vessels of the kind was carried on to a most serious extent, more especially at Liverpool. Alderman PaRSE said that the shipping interest wero greatlyindebted to Mr. Forster for having come for ward upo n thi s occas i on . H e w i s h e d t o know whether the cma Captain ihad James taken p a a n d y d o o f n , the f medicine. the ship Nunez, stated that th e men h a d re f use d to ta k e any o f t h e medicine, and h e cou ld not hi mself take any o f i t , ' H e lost a ll his m en on t h e voyage. Alderman P IRIE —W ou ld t h ey h ave taken the med:- eines if they had been good ? Captain Paddon—No. They would not have taken any thing except salts. They were most obstinate ; I tried to take some myself, but I could not. Out of eleven all died except myself and three blacks. Mr. Ifc:;,ry ll2nnel, of Apothecaries Hall, was then called. He stated that he had examined the rhubarb and jalap, being the principal medicines used on voy ages of the kind, and neither of them possessed any one character of those i.regs. It was impossible to say what the stuff called rhubarb was. Mr. D. B. Hanbury of the house of Allen, Hanbury, and Co., Plough -court, stated that the rhubarb and jalap described had none of the properties of the real medicines. Tho other contents of the medicine chest were, to say the least, very inferior, and the proportion of spirit in the tinctures was, if any, extremely small. Alderman PsusE was anxious to know whether there was any check upon practices such• as were thus ex posed ?—A medical gentleman• said, that a censor from the College of Physicians was the only check, and the visitation was very unfrequent. Mr. Chandler, druggi3t, of Fore-street—The censor. or deputation from the College of Physicians, has visited me but once for 11 years. I know several shops in which they never have been to examine the medicines. Mr. Hanbury looked at the bill of parcels, and :•aid that at his counter the medicines would be sold at the sime price, and be of the first quality. In furnishing medicine chests they would be at a lower rate. Alderman PIRIE said, that the matter disclosed at the justice-room was very properly brought forward, and he was convinced that what had taken place would render great service to the public, used as it would be by the press. HATTON.GARDEN. A young man named Carr, the keeper of an oil. shop, in the Liverpool-road, was charged with having broken a number of w►ndows under the following extra ordinary circumstances : Mr. Miller, of No. 6, Mount -row, Islington, stated that for nesrly twelve months his windows, and the windows of Lis neighbours had been almost daily broken, and although the stones, brickbats, &c., were known to have come from the defendant's premises, and a watch hat• been kept day and night, no proof could be obtained that the prisoner was the mischievous and malicious delinquent until yesterday morning, when he was seen by witness to throw from' his garret window a stone, which broke three panes of glass. Mr. Steele, who attended on behalf of the defendant, here addressed the Magistrate, stating that his client would not deny the charge of breaking the three squares of glass. He regretted the act, and would make any compensation. Mr. GREENWOOD said then there was an end of the case. If the money had not been forthcoming, he should have committed the defendant to the House of Correction. The scene at this stage was most extraordinary ; up wards of twenty ladies and gentlemen rushed towards the Magistrate, exhibiting bags containing stones, which they said had smashed their windows. Some of the missiles were of a very large and dangerous description, and had broken heads as well as glass. The damage done was immense, and for a long while the neighbour hood had been in the greatest terror and excitement. Mr. Steele—Here is only one charge proved against my client; he has admitted his guilt and nude atone ment, and I will answer that there shall not be a repe tition of this. Sergeant Pagan, of the N division, remarked that injury to an immense extent had likewise been done in Islington by the explosion of packets called infernal ma chines. The front of the house of Mr. Ladd, of the Penton Arms, Pentonville, and several others, were partially destroyed by the ignition of these instruments, and there was good ground for charging the accused with these fiendish acts, he having been seen near Mr. Ladd's a few minutes previous to the explosion. The prisoner's house was so situated that he might easily have committed all the damage that was so justly com plained of by the ladies and gentlemen present. Mr. Steele—You cannot go into the matter further without proof. ! again repeat that this conduct will not occur any more. Mr. Greenwood—lt is a most abominable thing that the lives and property of respectable persons have been so endangered ; I, however, cannot now proceed further in the matter. Tho defendant having paid the damage done to Mr. Miller's property, left the Court amidst the hisses and groans of a very crowded Court. There were at least 500 stones produced which had been flung throngh windows. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. (LLOYD'S.)

MR. HORACE SMITEI'S " MONEYED MAN.' —Tne novel reading public will doubtless be glad to learn that this new production of the popular author of " Bram bletye House," " Reuben Apslcv," &c., is immediately forthcoming. From the title of this new work, " The Moneyed Man ; or, The Lesson of a Life," much curio sity has been excited to see how a subject so recently dra• matically touched upon by Sir Edward Lytton Bulwer, will be treated by a brother novelist, whose reputation stands so high as that of Mr. Horace Smith. The influ ence, use, and abuse of wealth, is a theme offering such an extensive field *illustration, that it is far from unlikely that the view of " Mammon," taken by the author of " Rejec:ed Addresses," may diff..r in more than one mate rial point from that of the worthy Baronet. However this may be, we are at least sure of a work of originality from the pen of Mr. Horace Smith. The 3linister of Public Instruction in France is said to have given an order that drawings shall be made of 'the windows of the Cathedral at Mons, and lithographed copies sent to every numismatic society in France, the ob ject being to assist the learned in such matters, in their re searches on the subject of the coinage system of that coun try. These windows, it appears, painted about the thir teenth century, represent different scenes connected with the fabrication, of money at that period. In one compart ment, workmen arc busied in placinc , the coins in, or with drawing them from, the machine for stamping them ; in another the assayers are weighing them, and in a third the money changers are coma in search of the newly.. coined pieces. Around, are tables covered with shovels and vases full of coin.—Athenceunt.

Exchequer Bill, said, you see I have something to do with the Government— I have this to assist me in disputing the validity."—Tho magistrates could not, therefore, proceed further against him, and the Churchwardens will proceed against bias in the Ecclesiastical Court, —Clielailferd Chronic* of Friday.
