AMERICAN AND ENGLISH SYMPATHIES. It is alleged, and with truth, that the English public has been in the habit of paying too little attention to the foreign policy of its Governm ent. True, there h ave indignation or every now and then burst s of p o p ular or enthusiasm called forth by events in other lands, and denunciations or applause of the G o otvheerm Bat these Government of the day for the part it took in regarda vague and transitory t have been rather expressions of sentiment than of convictions based upon deliberate inquiry. The int erest taken by Eng lishmen in foreign affairs has been intermittent, and the views enter tained respecting them variable. The events now in pro gress in the East have, however, awakened the English public to a sense that, as the individual is part of a wily, and the family part of the nation, so the nation itself is but a part of the great republic of nations. A i state, above all a state zealous and successfal in the cul tivation of arts and commerce, can no more remain isolated from the great community of states than the man can remain isolated from relations and associates in business, or any one family from the numerous families by which it is surrounded in civil society. A nation has to cultivate the good will of other nations, and some times to resist their encroachments. Every nation has an interest in exerting itself to insure the obser vance of certain principles of equity and justice in the dealings of all nations with one another. A nation of slaves may leave all these matters to its rulers ; but a free nation, which every now and then calls its rulers to account, and removes them from power when deemed unworthy of it, is bound to exer cise its judgment as conscientiously and as fearlessly on its foreign relations and policy as on its domestic concerns. Now that the English public has been roused to the is,nowledge of this truth, it is of the utmost consequence that its application should not be limited to the small space of earth oalled Europe. We are not of those who dream that Europe is worn out. We believe that in letters, arts, inventive industry, Europe still takes the lead of the earth. But we know that there areout of Europe greatandgrowingcommunities, among whom there are spirits as daring and energetic, and more free, than are to be found in the Old World. We see that every year the proportion borne by our commerce with the Old World to that which we carry on with the whole earth and ocean is growing less and less—that the number s o f fr ee , intelli g ent,- inde ndent men and communities out of Europe are on the increase. Already the commerce of the United States and of the civilised communities which dot Australia, the Pacific, the southern termination of Africa, and the waters of the Eastern Archipelago, is more important to Great Britain than that of the Old World; and though we are firmly convinced that under a system of free trade our commercial relations with Europe will be extended and improved, there is a much wider and . more profitable field to be cultivated in other regions of the earth. The most important foreign relations of this country at the present moment are with the United States of America. These relations are many and compli cated; for in every quarter of the globe the citizens of the United States and of Great Britain are constantly com ing into contact. There is another reason why it is desirable that a friendly understanding between this country and the United States should be sedulously cultivated. In theory one nation ought only to communicate with another through the medium of their respective Govern ments. But, in practice, this rule cannot be strictly observed. In all countries there are overlook ing minor shades of difference two great par ties ; the friends of free institutions and progress, and the friends of despotism, and stationary institu tions, and obstructive laws. Either party in every country naturally and necessarily sympathises with its counterpart in every other. It is not in human nature for the liberals of a free nation to abstain from sympathising with and assisting those who struggle for their own emancipation from fetters in a country subject to despotic rule. Above all others, the despotisms of Europe have no right to complain of this ; for the Iffoly Alliance having set the example of a combination of kings against subjects, have thereby justified leagues among subjects against despots. It is impossible to lay down any general rule' as to how far Governments may and must connive at co-operation among different sec• tions of their respective subjects. The circumstances of every special case must supply the law applicable to it Still it is necessary, for the preservation of intercourse between states as corporate communities, that some limits—narrower at one time than another— should be imposed on the co-operation of the subjects or citizens of one with the subjects or citizens of another. Hence arises one great difficulty that has always beset the statesmen of Great Britain when they have been called upon to take part in the Congresses of the Great Powers of Europe. In these Councils, Great Britain has hitherto been the only free and popular Government. The balance of interests between peoples and princes would be more fairly held were sonic other first-rate free power to take part in them as well as Great Britain. The Republic of North America is the only other first-class State that answers this description. When next Great Britain is invited to take part in a General Congress, it will be the duty of our Government to insist upon the United States being admitted to take part in their deliberations. These Councils would benefit in more ways than one by the accession of the United States to them. The emancipa tion of American statesmen from the superstitious vene ration for many old routine forms, and doctrines inap plicable to the state of modern society, would immensely improve our European diplomacy. We do not mean that Great Britain and the United States would invariably be found taking the same side in the discussions of a General Congress. These two nations can no more be invariably in the right than Austria and Russia can be invariably in the wrong. But the increased number 2f statesmen, bound by the neces sity of their position to assert popular principles, and the admission of a body of statesmen more freo from conventionalities than any others, would exercise a healthy influence over the deliberations of future Gene. ral Congresses. We have not far to seek for a case in which the views of the American statesmen might at the present moment differ from those of the British. The case of Cuba will serve cur purpose. We approach this question without fear, though we know it to be a delicate one. We know that not a few Americans cherish a jealousy and ill-trill towards England. And we are free to admit that they have cause. At the time of the American war of independence, and long after, most Englishmen sillily and groundlessly undervalued the Americans. That feeling has long been extinct ; but a belief that it survives has necessarily been kept up by the terms of disparagement in which many English tourists and anonymous scribblers have been in the habit of speaking of America and Americans. That great reproach of English journalism, the limes, has been perhaps the greatest offender in this way. It is to be hoped that Englishmen will be more care ful in future to let their kinsnlen across the Atlantic know the light in which they regard them. We are conscious that we have nothing to reproach ourselves with on this score. But the most sincere respect and love for Americans are perfectly consistent with our frankly telling them when we think they are wrong. A • mericans criticise other nations freely ; they ought patiently to bear criticism in return. It is on this ground that we have always asserted our right to speak freely our sen timents on the head of negro slavery. We have an especial right to do so when the retention of that " do :nestle institution " begins to influence the foreign re lations of the United States., In the North American Republio the peopl e are th e Government ; and to them, therefore, we appeal against the policy which their present Administration is encouraging or at least con niving at in Cuba and St. Domingo. The questions of the independence of Cuba, and of its annexation to the United States, are open questions, and which do not immediately much affect our interests• But the object of those Americans who are now labouring by underhand conspiracies, or open aggression to follow out, in Cuba and St. Domingo, the policy which has proved successful in Texas, deeply affects the honour of the United States. Their object is not only to perpetuate negro slavery in the United States, but to encroach on the freedom of the negro beyond their frontier. We suspect few even of the friends of the negro in the Union have a just conception of what be may and has become where he has been ad. mitted to full political rights. Even beforo the emancipation of the negroes in the British West Indies, free and wealthy blacks were in the habit of sending their children to England for their education. Throughout the British colonies there is a numerous educated and wealthy coloured population. They are members of the colonial legislatures, and hold important and responsible offices under Government. They are enterprising and successful traders and wealthy proprie tors. Not a few of this class have gone in search of fortune to Hayti and St. Doming*, and have there risen to high office. These men know their worth, and are resolute to emit their rights. Throughout the Antilles they are anxiously watching the operation■ of the pro , slavery annexationists from the States, and resolute to resist them at all hazards. The fret avowed success of the Filibusters in Cuba or St. Domingo would give the signal for a war of races—of a renewal of the St.Doiningo war, with mere inveteracy and over a wider field. we speak not now of what the European Powers might deem it necessary to do if such an event occurred ; we prefer appealing to the sober and judicious in the United States —to the only true democrats, the respecter. of equal rights among the races of men. Are they pre pared to incur the guilt and opprobrium of abetting a policy which must necessarily spread havoc and devas tation over the whole of the Antilles In their hands is the power to avert such a calamity, and awful will be their responsibility if they do not exercise that power.-- Daily News.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. THE CHARING CROSS BRIDGE COMPANY V. MITCHELL. In this case an action was brought against the defen dant, who is a collector of the land-tax, for an illegal distress. This action was turned into a special case by consent, in order to raise the question for the opinion of this Court whether the Charing-cross Bridge Company is liable to be assessed to the land-tax in respect of the tolls taken at the bridge on the Hungerford-market side. It appeared by the case that the Hungerford-market Company had redeemed the land-tax formerlypayable in respect of the land en which the bridge is built on the Hungerford side ; and it was therefore contended for the plaintiffs that as the land-tax had been so redeemed, the tolls raised from the bridge subsequently built on the land were not assessable to the laud-tax. For the defendant it was contended that the tolls in question did not arise out of the land, but were a separate tene ment within the words of the Land-tax Assessment Act, and were rateable as mucb, and this it was contended had been decided by the Court of Exchequer in the case of the Vauxhall-bridge, where the assessment had been simply of the tolls, without any reference to the land. Mr. Bramwell, Q.C., with whom was Mr. Matthews, appeared for the plaintiffs ; Sir F. Thesiger, with whom was Mr. Needham, for the defendants. Lord Campbell said that it seemed to him that the case of the Vauxhall bridge decided the present. In that ease the tolls had been held to be assessable, on the ground that a toll, per Be, forms an entirely different tenement, separate from the land ; it is a new property, created of non-Parliamentary hereditament. It is said that in the Vauxhall case the land-tax payable on the land was not redeemed, and that, therefore, that case is different from the present, but I think that does not make any difference whatever. The assessment is in respect of the new tenement, the tolls, and not in respect of the land ; our judgment must, therefore, be for the defendant. • _ _ A n P t. LIN ZSQ., CHAIRMAN OP TIER TE J E u Q d ri g E rn ß e w nt ic for lv d . e T fe . n c d N a SOTITM-WESTERN ItAILWAT COMPANT—XX PARTS SHILL. Sir F. Thesiger moved for a rule calling on Mr. Chap lin, the Chairman of the South-Western Railway Com pany, to show cause why a mandamus should not issue, commanding him to ascertain and declare the state of the poll on a certain election of a director of the South- Western Railway Company, at a meeting of the com pany on the 10th of August last. It appeared by the affidavits on which the rule was moved, that for some time past a great question had arisen amongst the shareholders of the company relative to an intention on the part of the directors to increase the capital of the company, with a view to extending their line of railway. This lineation had been much dis cussed, and muck opposition raised to- the scheme. One of the most active opponents to the proposed increase was Mr. Snell, the applicant for the present rule ; and it appeared that, some time since, Sir Wm. Heatheote, one of the directors of the company, signifying his inten tion of retiring from the direction, Mr. Snell was soli cited to become a candidate fur that office in his place. Mr. Snell acceeded to the request, and pro. ceeded to canvass the shareholders for their votes, and accordingly issued a number of circulars to them, each of which contained a letter, which was to be returned to Mr. Snell if the shareholder intended to support him, the letter so enclosed being an authority to Mr. Snell to issue a proxy, and send to the shareholder for his signature, who was then to return it to Mr. Snell, there being a power in the company's act for the shareholders to vote by proxy. 1,345 of these letters were returned to Mr. Snell in time for him to send the proxies and obtain there back in time to lodge them with the secretary seven days before the day of election, as is required in order to authorise the person bolding such proxy to vote for the shareholder sending it ; but it appeared that thirteen letters were sent to Mr. Snell too late for him to send the proxies for signature to the respective shareholders, whereupon he wrote to those persons, telling them that as he con ceived they had given him authority to issue a proxy for them, he had done so, and had had it signed for them by his secretary and lodged with the rest, but that he should not use them until he received their authority for doing so and recognising his act, and also that he should inform the other side what he had done. In every case he received an answer recognising his act and giving him the authority he required. The election of the director to fill the vacancy created by Sir W. Heathcote's retire ment came on at the general half-yearly meeting on the 10th of August last, the only other candidate being Mr. Willcox ' M.P. for Southampton, w h o was supporte d by Mr. Chaplin, the chairman of the company. The show of hands was in favour of Mr. Snell, upon which a poll was demanded en the part of Mr. Willcox, which was fixed for the next day, the 11th. Mr. Snell gave notice that he should vote on his proxies on that day, but first wrote to Mr. Willcox, stating that he should make his declaration of having duly lodged his proxies an intention to vote on all but the thirteen, as to which there might be some doubt of whether he had the strict right to vote, and he therefore stated the cir cumstances in respect of them, saying he did not intend to vote on them unless the scrutineers held them to be admissible. Mr. Snell did not receive any answer td this letter on the 11th, so he told the scrutineers he should not use them, and accordingly withdrew them. ' On the 12th Mr. Snell r eceived a letter from Mr. Will cox, saying that he had been in the country, and so did not get his letter in time to answer it by the 11th, or he should have been most happy to meet his wishes in any way in respect to the proxies. The result of the poll on the 11th was to place Mr. Snell in a majority of 651 votes and 3,979 proxies over Mr. Willcox. The scrutineers gave in a statement to the adjourned meet ing to the effect that Mr. Suell had stated that he had authority to use some proxies which were not strictly signed in time, and that they could not say which were tainted proxies and which were not, and that they be lieved there were others tainted beyond the thirteen re ferred to by him. Upon this an inquiry was appointed to be held before the scrutineers into the validity of the votes, and counsel attended on both sides. This meet ing was held on the 29th of September, when Mr. Will cox's counsel took objections to 462 of Mr. Snell's proxies. The effect of striking these off would only have been to reduce Mr. Snell's majority on the proxies to 3,652. Therefore, to save time, Mr. S ne ll p ro p ose d t o the scrutineers to give up these votes, upon which Mr. Willcox's counsel withdrew from further prosecuting the inquiry. The meeting was then adjourned to the 3d of October, when nothing was required to be done but to declare the state of the poll and the election of Mr. Snell, for by no means could his majority be re duced se as to place Mr. Willcox a-head. 0a the 3d of October, however, the chairman declined to do this, but again adjourned the meeting, and on the 16th he wrote to Mr. Snell, asking him if he intended doing anything to relieve his mind from the state of doubt it was in from the points which had been raised as to the validity of some of his votes. Mr. Snell replied to this letter, stating that he had nothing further to do in the matter but to call on Mr. Chaplin, as chairman of the com pany to declare the state of the poll. Upon this Mr. Chaplin again wrote to him, stating that, as he had de clined giving him any further explanation, he should decline to declare the state of the poll. On the 17th of November another meeting was held, when a great discussion took place as to the competency of Mr. Snell to fill the office of director, as it was alleged he had acted improperly in regard to the 13 proxies. In reply to this it was contended that Mr. Snell had done everything openly, and that, if there had been any mis take in the matter, there was no impropriety of conduct; and, further, that he was quite ready to leave his con duct in the hands of Lord Chandos, or any other unin fluenced person, and abide by whatever decision he should come to. Lord Chandos was accordingly ap plied to, to give his opinion on the matter, but he de clined to interfere. Two subsequent meetings were hold on the 14th and 15th of December last, on both which applications were made to Mr. Chaplin, as chairman of the company, to declare the poll ; this, however, he refused to do, although he was informed that, if he re fused, legal proceedings would be taken to compel him to do so. Lord Capapbell—How i■ the obligation to declare th• state of the poll cast on Mr. Chaplin ? Sir F. Thesiger—Under the 94th section of th• com pany's act. _ Lord Campbell—You have stated sufficient to entitle you to a rule.—Rule nisi granted. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. IN BE BOLENO. This was the certificate meeting in the case of Heary Boleno Mason, tho Drury-lane clown, who kept tho Clown Tavern, Windmill-street. Mr. Beard, for the assignees, offered no opposition. Mr. Chidley, on behalf of the bankrupt, asked for a first-class certificate. Mr. Nicholson, the official assignee, reported that the bankrupt had a surplus, in November, 1853, of 4141. ; he had paid 5001. for the good-will of tke Clown Tavern, which had turned out an entire loss. He now owed 1,2151. ; the assets were expected to yield about 105. in the pound. His Honour said the question in this ease was only one of class. The bankrupt might have his certificate, but he had jumped rather qnickly from a surplus of 4001. to a considerable amount of debt. He might b e honey a very excellent cl own , but he had acted very foolishly in throw ing away hi s honey in a house when he night as well have thrown it into the gutter. The bankrupt stated, in answer to questions from the court, that ite had saved nearly 5001. in Liverpool. He thought of going to • France, having an engagement there ; but when in London he was induced, by repre sentations as to the excellent character of the house, to take the Clown Tavern, then called the Catherine Wheel. He consulted several of his friends, including the trade assignee, who all thought the house a good one. He spent a good deal in fitti ng up the house, bat it ha d ' not turned out equal to his expectations. His Honour deferred his judgment till the assignees had disposed of the house occupied by the bankrupt. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. --J2n. 19. BOW-STREET.—A question of considerable imort ance to the public was discussed before Mr. Jard p ine, and may be thus briefly stated : Mr. Tomlinson, a pawnbroker in the Strand, was sum moned by Mr. Wood, a barrister, of New-square, Lin coln's-inn, to show cause why he refused to deliver up a quantity of linen and wtaring apparel, wiiich had been ill ega lly pawned by a woman named'Ann Wilki ns, the laundress having the care of the chambers in Mr. Wood's occupation. The laundress had confessed her guilt, and had delivered up the pawnbroker's duplicates to her employers, but for some reason not explained to the court, she had never been prosecuted; fo ;a r wasnindretthaiisngthe tha "cause" assigned by Mr. Tomlinson property. The complainant contended that both under the Po. THE SUN, LONDON, SATUADAY EVENING, JANUARY 20, 1855, lice Act and the Pawnbrokers Act power was given to the magistrate to make an order for the unconditional restoration of the goods, and Mr. Wood quoted several cases from the law reports to show that this view of .Zhe matter had been confirmed by the judges. He also drew attention to those clauses which made it the impe rative duty of pawnbrokers to make certain inquiries on taking in property, and which, ho contended, were not complied with in the present case ; in consequence of which he was further liable to the penalties imposed by the act, although that object was not aimed at in the present summons. James Warden, clerk to Mr. Wood, proved that be was sent to the defendant's to inquire about the article in question, during the Christmas week, and Mr. Tom linson told him that the laundress (Wilkins) had pledged a great many things in the names of the gentlemen who employed her, stating that she had been sent by them, only they did not wish the things to be left in their own names. He said he would give her into custody if she came again, but declined to give up the property unless steps wore taken to convict her ; although he was will ing, if that course was not pursued, to share the loss with the gentlemen who claimed it. Mr. Tomlinson admitted that he had raid so, and still adhered to his defence. Mr. Jardine said there could be no question about the law of the case. He bad an undoubted right to order the pawnbroker to deliver up the property, but it was another question whether he should feel justified in doing so, until at least an attempt was "lade to prose cute the woman who had stolen the goods. She was not out of the way—then why was she not given into cus txly I It was a matter of public policy that the thief, in such cases, should not be allowed to escape ; or, what would be the consequence 7 In the present instance, of course, there was no collusion, but among a certain class of people there would be repeated attempts to de fraud the pawnbroker. Nothing could be easier than for Ann Thompson to agree with Mary Johnson to go and pawn her gown and then keep out of the way until her friend Johnson had got the magistrate to order the pawnbroker to give it up, the profits of the transaction being divided between them. If Mr. Woed thought proper to prosecute the laundress, then the pawn broker would be compelled to give up the property, without receiving a penny of his money back again. Mr. Wood said he would prosecute if the magistrate ordered him to do so ; but he submitted that it was the pawnbroker's place to prosecute. He would ask his worship to consider the nature of the property pledged, which included shirts having his name fully marked upon them. Surely they ought to have excited sus picion. Mr. Tomlinson assured the court that it was the con stant practice of gentlemen living in chambers in the inns of court to send their laundresses with articles to pledge, directing the latter to leave them in their own names ; and he had known repeated cases in which gen tlemen had come themselves, and pawned articles in the names of their clerks or laundresses. Mr. Jardine was rather surprised to hear this, he would confess, although he might have supposed that laundresses frequently made such representations. Ho advised a warrant to issue against the woman. Eventually this course was agreed to, and then Mr. Tomlinson voluntarily delivered up all the goods except one shirt, which was retained for prosecution. A gentleman present complained that his laundress had pawned all his library at the same place, but the circumstances were not mentioned. Two well-dressed young foreigners, who gave the names of Louis Parotti and Grossi Vincent, were brought before Mr. Jardine, charged with begging, and disorderly conduct, at the residence of the Rev. J. T. Brunow, Catholic priest, of Lincoln's-inn-fields. The reverend complainant stated that the defendants called at his residence between twelve and one o'clock that day, and requested to see him. He was net disengaged at the time, and they were requested to wait in the hall. After a short time they began walking up and down, making a noise, and com plaining of disrespectful treatment. Witness went down to them, and they said they had been waiting for an hour, having called for relief. Witness, knowing that they had not been kept waiting a quarter of that time, regarded them as improper persons to relieve, and de sired them to quit the house. They refused to go, and he then sent for a policeman, at the same time advising them to leave. They then began to abuse him in strong language, and also the Catholic religion, and he was ultimately compelled to give them into custody. Constable 136 F said, that when he took the defend ants into his charge, one of them said that they had called for relief which the complainant was bound to give them, and had been insulted by being kept in a cold passage for an hour. - A.s - the defendants were Italians, and oily ens of them could speak English—and that very imperfectly —an effort was made to look up a translator in the district, but without success, it being generally known that the Home-oflice does not allow any fee to be paid out of the Treasury for suck purposes. Under these circumstances Mr. Jardine was com pelled to discharge them, with a suitable caution not to go there again. LAMBETH.—A man dressed in the garb of a me chanic, who refused to give his name, was• charged with coining, and baring in his possession a quantity of coin ing implements. - Sergeant Quinnear deposed that, on the preceding evening, he, accompanied by police-constable Stephen Booth, proceeded to the house, Ne. 7, Surrey-buildings, East-lane, Walwortla, and in eadeavouring to effect an entrance by the back-door he made a slight noise, upon which the prisoner opened it, aid he (Quinnear) at once secured him. On searching the place they found a vast quantity of things such as are used in tie manufacture of base coin, and from information which has reached me I have no doubt whatever the prisoner is one of tie most ingenious and successful manufacturers of base coins in England, and that ie nukes as much as 41. and 51. a week by selling the manufaetured coin to the passers or "sniashers," Quinnear here pi-educed the articles found, consisting of bell meal, copper, black tin, 23 files of various sizes, an electrotype machine, shears, plaster of Paris, &c. The prisoner, when I took him into custody (added the witness), said, " I wonder a fiy (clever) man like you should take so much trouble for nothing" (meaning that the mere possession of such articles, no coin being discovered, would not affect him). Prisoner—Officer, why didn't you fetch the candle sticks here Quinnear—Because I did not think it necessary. Mr. Norton—Nor was it. I think the officer has brought quite enough against you. What are you! Prisoner—l have stated on the sheet what I am. I'm a tinker and general jobber. Mr. Norton—Then what business can a tinker hare with plaster of Paris ! Prisoner—Well, I sometimes get an odd job of jewel lery to mend, and it's ♦ery handy to keep the metal from spreading—(laughter) —and as for supposing the things found in my possession were intended as materials for coining it is quite ridiculous. I dare say I could go to your worship's house at this moment and find the same sort of materials there. I should find on the roof some lead or sine ; I should find some Britannia metal spoons, and also a flower pot, which would be found sufficiently porous to Answer all the purposes of electrotyping. I should also, in all probability, find a box of carpenter's tools, as gentlemen are in the habit of keeping a fancy box of tools, and I should not wonder if I found an old file or two, (Renewed laughter.) Mr. Sorts' here referred to the act of Parliament, and found that the artisles, the possession of which con stituted the offence, were not found in the prisoner's case, except " edging tools," and the files he should take to constitute them. The prisoner said files were used for different purposes, and therefore his Worship should not arrive at the con clusion that those found in his possession were used for coining. Quinnear, the officer, he said, was perfectly correct in his opini on o f t h e law, that there was not in law any charge against him, &ad he therefore called -for his liberation. Mr. Norton remarked that if the law was not suffi cient to punish a person of his character, there was not the slightest security for the public. The law as re garded the whole case of coining and passing base coin was in a most disgraceful state. He should remand the prisoner for the attendance of the officers of the Mint. A WIIALTHY PALTER COUNILL/D TO DISOORGI. Jane Fowls, a pauper belonging to the City of London union, has lately been compelled to refund to the parish authorities the sum of nearly 2501., invested in the Three per Cent. Consols. It appears she had been in the re ceipt of out-door relief for the last ten years, when, by the sagacity and intelligenc e o f M r . T urner, the reliev ing officer, it was discovered that she possessed this large sum of money in the funds. Steps were iramedi ately takes against her for the imposition she had been practising on the parochial authorities, the result of which has been that they have compelled her to refund the whole of the money she has had from them during that period, being nearly the whole amount of the sum invested.
