~~ Vtirb 72bttion FRAN CE. At the sitting of the Assembly on Saturday M. Antony Thouret presented the following proposal, which will be brought forward in a day or two : " The undersigned have the honour of laying the following► proposal before the Assembly, for which th 4 demand urgency : " Considering that, in the words pronounced in the sitting of the 21st of November by one of the mem bers of the Assembly (M. Segur d'Aguesseau), it was not possible for those members who wished to protest against these words, and against their author, to obtain the right, which belongs to all, of procuring the call to order, or the penalties provided for by Art. 119 of the regulations ; considering that it was not even in their power to obtain the right of mounting the tribune, either for a call to order, or for the regulations, or for a pro test ; considering that the expressions of M. Segur d'Aguesseau conveyed evidently an outrage against the Republic, and its glorious founders, the combatants of February ; considering that it cannot be the pro vince of the President to prevent the representatives from demanding in the tribune a solemn reparation of such an outrage ; considering that the President's duty is to insist on an immediate retractation ; con sidering, lastly, that a member of the Assembly, having energetically insisted cn these points, was called to order by the President ; the Assembly de clares that the President has not been impartial in his conduct during 3 esterday's sitting; that he has failed in the most important of his duties, in not causing the Republic to be respeeed ; and orders the insertion of the present declaration in the prods verbal of the sitting.'

Kossuth addressed to the Hungarian refugees on the occasion of their de parture from Widdin " Gentlemen, —I am happy to be the bearer of the greetings and blessings of the good and glorious Sul tan —(Cheers.) A messenger from the great Monarcli arrived hrre e,terdiq, bringing the joyful n e w s that the Sultan has resolved not to listen to Austria and Russia's demands for our surrender. — (Groans ) No ; the Sultan has sworn by the Prophet that he will protect us at any hazard, even at the risk of the overthrow of his empire.—(Cheers.) "Gentlemen, it is now certain that we are to leare Widlin. The war for which we yearn—that war which alone can liberate our poor country—the war which hitherto was doubtful —ic is now certain. The question of that war, of its outbreak, 13-, is now but a question of time, and its commencement will he determined by Fuad F,ffeedi—for inch is the object of his mission to St. Petersburgh. My brethren! the sun has nut yet set ! there are still some rays of light! a nobler pelt remains still fur us. The Hun , garian emigration is of high importance in the politics of Europe. To deserve that impertance is our task— which, though difficult, is most glorious! But do not fear, my brethien, that we stand alone—as we did; that we are disowned, as we were. No, indeed. We are held up by Turkey, by England, and by France. Put lie opinion in England, in the Parliament and without, has indeed for a moment become doubtful of us. But r, hy? because seine of us have adopted the Mahometan faith. But what these men did finds some excuse in the prevailing desire to make prose lytes; and, besides, whatever they did they did as men, not as Hungarians. As men they will have to bear the consequences, and not only they but also certain people in this city of Widdin who urged them to this step. But that is all. A letter which I wrote to the Noble Lord Palmerston, and the unremitting labours of an English friend (Mrs. Thomson) have served to place the question in its true light, end the organs of the British press, of all parties, raised their voice in our favour. Gentlemen, I am enabled to assure you that England and France are for us, and that they have declared that, allied with the Most High Porte, they will fight for the liberty and independence of our country. In consequence of these important events the Host High Porte has resolved to send the Hungarian emigrants from Widdin to Shumla. Shurnla is, according to my opinion, if not the best, at least the most advantagpous place for the Hungarian emi gration, for in the case of a war against Russia and Austria, we shall be enabled - to proced to and cross the Danube at Rustshuk, and to reach our country, where hundreds of thousands of kind hearts and stout arms wait for us to rid the earth from the wretched remains of a bloodthirsty dynasty, which exhibits the just curse of an angry God by those atrocious deeds which in its frenzied blindness it perpetrates against a poor and helpless people. But if Shumla were threatened —though, indeed, there is not much fear of that—there are fourteen British vessels in the Dar danelles, prepared to take us to England, where we are sure of a kind treatment, fur Great Britain—to speak with Lord Palmerston, has not indeed orders and ribands for a murderer like Haynau ; but that noble country can admire and respect the remains of a gallant nation which prevailed against and shook to its foundation the firm and towering stronghold of tyranny.—(Che.ere and shouts of the Turk, Bin jasha Kossuth !"Bin jasha Dembinski !' or ' May Kossuth live a thousand years!' &e ) When silence was rescored Kossuth proceeded— "I bare but a few words to add. To prevent dis orders the Most High Porte wishes the emigrants to forms a corps under my leadership.—(Loud cheers.) If it is your will, Gentlemen, I consent.—(Cheers.) But I wish for harmony and order, for without these our corps cannot exist. That corps is to be a mili tary institution, which I will do my best to improve. To prevent the possibility of any violence on the part of the Russians, we are to journey by land. To de fray the expenses of that journey, the High Porte has sent me 241,000 piastres, as a Bairam's present for the emigrants." TATTERSALL'S—THIS EVENING six o'cLovii.

We have no hesitation in saying that whoever, after reading some of the recent disclosures in the Morning Chronicle, can wear a cheap stock, must have a heart of stone. If we were Prince Albert, we would at once insist on the total release of our royal name from those hateful ties which are paraded in the shop-windows as " Albert ties," and for the making of which only 61 a dozen is paid ! It is a libel on his Royal Highness, who has lately shown so much warmhearted interest in the cause of the in dustrious classes, to couple him, even nominally, with those stocks and neck-ties, whose wearers—if they knew the horrible sacrifices entailed by the low price manufacture—would be ashamed to hold up their heads over even the stiffest of these odious articles. We shall never look upon one of those cheap stocks again without feeling our choler raised in an extra ordinary degree ; and we could not put such a thing round our neck without a.sort of throttling sensation, engendered by the knowledge that, for the production of these sto c k s an d ties, rapacity has taken necessity by the thro a t. The wealthy capitalist, who watches the daily fluctuation of the funds, has thought hitherto but little of the fearful conscqu s enccs retultirg from the downward tendency in the prices d. of another kind of stocks. A fall in Spanish th ou sands or hundreds, th e galn ay of tmh;nib' by a few millionaire t or a fall the less opulent speculator, but in heA Albert of ert Stock -market curtails the already insufficientcrust the poor necdlew oman, and sen ds tottering into the abyss many who were trembling cn the edge of the slippery partition between starvation and crime. " The Albert Stocks used to be 3s. 6d. to 45. a dozen when they hest came up. They're 2s. to ls. 9d. row," says the informant of the Morning Chronicle. And we venture to ass: rt, that the decline in the Stock Market is more appalling in its consequences than the ups and downs of that other Stock Market in which knavery and jobbery, avarice and recklessness, folly and cunning, pursue their unhallowed course. Hencefovh, whatever we may km - said of prosperity in connexion with rises in the funds, we shall cease to have fAith in the soundness of the sate of things, until we are satisfied that the Albert Stocks are look ing up.—Punch. AN IMPORTANT INQUIRY. (From the Carnarv9n and Denbigh Herald.) An inquiry of great public importance was held at the Union Tavern, Garth, Bangor, on Monday, the 19. h, and by adjournment on Wednesday, the 21st inst., before Captain Claxton, R.N. The inquiry was ordered by the Admiralty, in con sequence of a memorial from master mariners, pilots, shipowners, fishermen, and others interested in the navigation of the Straits of Menai. The memorial represented that Grisia Bach, at a small bight to the westward of Garth Point, was an ancient landing place, which, with the adjoining beach, had from time immemoral been used and en joyed by the public, without let, hindrance, or mo lestation,—that it was the only place during easterly gales at which boats could land, or from which boats could put off, either from or to vessels lying in, or sailing through, the Straits—and that depriving the public of its free use, as the walls and buildings now erected bad done, was a great injury inflicted upon the coasting trade, and a serious damage to the navi gation of the Straits; and lastly, praying the Admi ralty to institute an inquiry, and to adopt effective means to remedy the grievance complained of. After the memorials and the Admiralty instructions for instituting the inquiry had been read, Captain Claxton called upon Dr. 0. 0. Roberts, as the person who had forwarded the memorial, to pro duce evidence in support of the allegations contained in it. _ Dr. 0. 0. Roberts explained that, having been cared upon by a deputation from the parties more directly interested for advice as to the best course for them to pursue, with a view to preserve Grisia Bach, as a laading place, he had suggested the one that had been ado-,:ted, and forwarded the memorial to the Ad miralty. Ile had not even signed the memorial _ _ himself. Captain Claxton—Then who is to call the evidence! Dr. 0. 0. Roberts—Had not the slightest ol,jee• _ . ti n to perform that duty, and called John Hug'nes, pilot, who stated that he had known Grisia Bach from his childhood. It bad always been a public landing-place; and the dosing of it up, by the present wall, had inflicted a serious injury on the na vigation. It was the only place, when it blew fresh from any point between - North-east and South-east, that could be used to communicate by boats between vessels and tl'e shore. Before the b'ght at Grisia B ch w. s enclosed they could always land or launch their boats ; but since the place had been enclosed with the present wall they could not do so. (Wit ness was then shown the plan of a wooden pile pier, which it is contemplated to construct; and when adi:ed his opinion as to its prob.lhie etii , ct upon the as vigation, he answered, that it would not interfere with his caning as a pilot, but in drifting out when there was no wind, he thought that vessels might run foul of it, or that in heavy gales vessels might be driven against it when their anchors did not hold ) With respect to the old weir at Gorad y Gut, he considered it dangerous to vessels, 'A hen those on board were unacquainted with the locality. It was surrounded by a bed of soft good ground for vessels to lie upon. Masters of vessels navigating the Straits took care generally not to get foul of the weirs to the eastward of Port Pcnrhyn. In beating to windward, vessels were of course forced to make shorter tacks to avoid those weirs, as well as to kfep clear of the ballast bank. In answer to a question by Captain Askew, did not know win se duty it was to prevent ballast being thrown into the Straits. Examination continued by Dr. 0. 0. Roberts— There are at times a large fleet of coasters, and other vesiAs lying wind bound opposite Garth, and if they hs deprived of Grisia Bach, as a landing place, they cannot in many cases have n free and sate communi cation with the shore. Mr. liaison, the gantieman connected with the inclosure of Grisia Bach, declined putting any ques tions to the witness. John Hughes, master mariner, deposed in sub stance to the same facts. Ile bad known Grisia and used it as a public landing-place, for between forty and fifty years. The closing of it up had se riously interfered with the navigation of the Straits, and with the interests of those who were concerned in it. In answer to Mr. Dodson—He had b: en in the habit of using Grisia Bach es a landing-place, and to be blocked out of it would seriously injure himself and others. John Nanney, master mariner, deposed that he had ' been in the habit of using Grisia Bach &r about twenty years; and that its use was of great import ance to the navigation of the Straits, so that closing it up was a serious injury. His opinion as to the proposed pier was in accordance with that of the preceding witnesses; and, with respect to the weir nearest the quay, it did not interfere much with the navigation, because in general a vessel would strike on the ballast bank before coining up to the weir. Captain Askew observed that she would then be swamped on the ballast bank, instead of being scuttled on the weir. In answer to Mr. Dodson, Captain Minney said that he very frequently used Grisia Bach t even when it blew a gale from the eastward, he could always land at Grisia Bach, and haul up his boat, so as to be in safety. John Jones, a pilot—Had known Grisia Bach from his childhood. Its use was of great importance to the public. Five or six boats could he hauled up in the bight, and left in safety, to be launched when wanted. Nothing of the kind could be done now. The steps were cut in the rock; and near the top they were formerly protected with masonry. This witness gave testimony similar to the former ones touching the pier, and after some answers as to the effect of weirs on the navigation, Captain Claxton stated that he was to inquire touching Grisia Bach, and the proposed pier, and to report upon the weirs and other alleged obstructions, and that he had put questions in reference to the latter points merely for his own satisfaction. Captain 11. Ellis, an old master mariner, was about to be examined, but in answer to Captain Claxton, Dr. 0. 0. Roberts stated, on behalf of the memo rialists, that though there were a great many master mariners, fishermen, pilots, and others present, to tes tify as to the ancient usage and value of Grisia Bach as a landing place, still, astheir evidence would be substantially the same as that already given, he con sidered it a waste of time to call them. Captain Claxton then read a letter from the Bishop of Bangor, and called upon Mr. Dodson, who stated that the shore ground between high and low water mark belonged to the Bishop. He had not had a lease for the portion of it in question from the Bishop, but he had the pro mise of a lease from Lis Lordship's legal adviser. 1 The wall had proceeded so far as to be four or five feet high, when a deputation of pilots and master mariners waited upon him about Grisia Bach as a landing place. John Hughes, the pilot, here appealed to Mr. Dod son's foreman, if he bad not protested against the works when the foundation was being cut ? Mr. Dodson—Perhaps it might have been so; but when the deputation waited upon him he told the parties composing it that they must establish their legal right before he would attend to them. The work was half done when he received an intimation from the Admiralty that the Board must be supplied with maps, plans, and sections of the ground and proposed erections, and that the works in the mean time were to be stopped. He intended putting up a vertical ladder, but did not tell the pilots so. He pro posed to grant permission, not as a matter of right, but on sufferance, to pilots and masters of vessels to use the vertical ladder to land on the pier. Mr. H. B. Roberts who appeared to support the Bishop's claim to the shoreground, stated that the application was for a lease to build a pier. Dr. 0. 0. Roberts denied that there was any pretence for the Bishop's claim. The public claim the use of Grisia Bach_ and the adjoining beach, not on sufferance, but as a matter of right, and he had advised a memorial to the Admiralty in the first instance, instead of a more summary method of asserting that right. Mr. Dodson then called John Morgan, who stated that he had been three years on the Garth Ferry, that they seldom used Grisia Bach as a landing place. John Hughes, pilot—The boats belonging to the Garth Ferry are now kept on the Anglesey side ; they were until recently kept on this side, and when that was the case the ferry could not be worked without having the bight at Grisia Bach. He had seen the ferry boat but a few days back unable to land at Garth point, which they might have done had Grisia Bach been left in the state it used to be. In answer to Captain Claxton, John Morgan as signed as a reason of not landing at Grisia Bach oftener that their boats LOW in use were too heavy ; but that lighter boats, such as used by the pilots and the masters, used to do so. Mr. Jones, harbour master, of Beaumaris, was called and examined, as to the probable effects of the proposed wooden pier ; and stated that he considered it a ould be beneficial to the navigaticn. In reply to Captain Claxton, Mr. Jones stated that the conservancy of the Straits, within the port, was in the Corporation of Beaumaris. lle supposed that it there was a vessel sus k, so as to obstruct the naviga tion, it would be his duty as harbour master to re seal e the same if the owners did not. John Hughes, pilot—The harbour master of Beau maris collects anchorage mcney and other dues, and take to notice whatever of the injury done to the Port of Bangor, an d t o t h e nav i ga ti on o f t h e S tra i ts b y olsitldteintg stones, and ballast being constantly thrown u wecn high and low water mask, so that even the most experienced pilots could not bring in a vessel at high water without danger of being damaged. At that very time, %ben th e tide urea whole beach below wher e they then gspi; g out, the were was studded ith heaps of stones and b a ll as j Captain Askew observed, that from what he had seen, he had no doult whatever that the weirs and other.erections to the eastward of Garth Point, and the wholesale manner in which ballast was discharged in the Straits, had materially and seriously injured the navigation. Ilad a tidal gauge been kept that fact would have appeared very evident to every one. Mr. Jones said, in reply to Captain Claxton, that, as harbour master, he was of opinion that the removal of some of the weirs and large stones, especially those between Beaumaris and Penmon, would improve the navigation ; but he thought the proposed pier at Garth would be en improvement. In reply to Captain Askew, Mr. Jones stated that he had never been the master of a vessel, nor had he ever teen at sea in his life. John Williams, thought that the proposed pile pier would improve the navigation. The ruins of the old weir, Gorad y Gut, was very dangerous to stran gers sailing in either ships or boats. He had not long since sent a boat over from Anglesey, and saved a ma❑ whose boat had been scuttled on one of the old piles of the weir. Captain Parry thought that a vertical ladder, at the extremity of the proposed pile pier, would do instead of Grisia Bach as a landing place. Dr. 0. 0. Roberts stated that tha object of the memorialists, whom he represented, was to preserve a safe r.nd convenient landing place for tile use of the public, such as Grisia Bach had always been. The last thing they would think of would be to put Mr. Dodson unnecessarily to the slightest trouble or ex pen: e. Captain Claxton congratulated the meeting upon the kind feeling which evidently existed among all parties. Mr. Wyatt suggested a path by means of a parapet to a proper pier at the western side of where Grisia Bach landing place had been cbsed. Captain Claxton then adjourned the meeting to twAve, which was afterwards changed to eleven o'clock, on Wednesday, the 21st inst., so that Mr. Dodson might, in the mean time, prepare plans and sections of the required accommodation. On Wednesday, at tile appointed time, the plan of the accommodation proposed was submitted to the meeting. It wile, instead of a parapet, to place wood( n steps, or rather a ladder to the westward of the pro posed pier, with a free path of four feet wide from them to the road onside of the slate yard. Captain Claxton requested Dr. 0. 0. Roberts to explain the plan to those, whom he facetiously desig nated his constituents. After the plan had been carefully examined, it was unanimously pronounced utterly inadequate as a iobititute fur Grisia Bach. A good deal of desultory conversation then took place, Captitin Askew calling attention to the fact, that there was at that very time close to the place a vessel discharging ballast between high and low water mark, a great part of which would, every tide, be carried off by the etb and flow to form banks, injurious to the navigation. Captain Claxton asked Mr. Dodson what he proposed next ? Mr. Dodson replied that the more favour was granted the more was demanded. Dr. 0. 0. Roberts said that there was nothing esked as a favour. The ancient landing place of Grisia Bach, and the free use of the adjoining beach, which had been illegally enclosed, was claimed as a right. They were all anxious to accommodate Mr. Dodson as far as possible, but they would not be satisfied without having Ls a substitute for Grisil Bach, a place where they could land and leave their boats in a shelter. A stone pier, with stone steps, was then proposed to communicate with a four feet wide path, and acceled to, provided it be made of proper dimensions. At this period Mr. Williams, solicitor, of the firm of Lloyd, Roberts, Williams, and Jor:es, Carnarvon, arrived, and gave Captain Claxton and the meeting officially formal notices, by directions of the Commis sioners of Woods and Forests, thnt they claimed all the shore ground on the coast, between high and low watt r mark, as the property of the Crown; and utterly denied the Bishop's claim. Captain Claxton--All the shore ground, as well within as without people's weirs ! Mr. Williams—Yes, certainly ! Prima facie, all the shore ground is-unquestionably Crown property, unleFs where the Crown has disposed or alienated it. Mr. Vincent Williams—What, all the shore ground ! The shore ground is very extensive, Mr. Williams. Does the Crown's claim extend to the French shore! Mr. Williams—When the Crown of France was worn by the Sovereigns of England, those Sove reigns claimed the shore ground on the French coast, and should her present Majesty become Queen of France, she would ur:questionably again claim that shore ground, in right of that crown. The meeting broke up apparently very abruptly, when neither plans nor specifications of the pro posed works, as a substitute for Grisia Bacb, were produced. This preposterous claim extends in length about six miles along the Menai, and includes a portion leased in July, 1844, by the Woods and Forests to Thomas Assheton Smith, Esq. We are informed that under some just as valid a claim, the 7001 awarded to the Crown from the Cheater and Holy head Company for Crown's land in Anglesey, have been quietly paid over and received, not by the Crown. THE NEW EDINBURGH CORN MARKET. It has been arranged that the formal opening o the new Corn-market is to take place on the firs Wednesday of December. Business will, of course, be transacted as usual in the old building on that day, but it will afterwards be transferred en tirely to the new and more commodious structnre which has been reared, a few yards distant, on the south side of the Grass market. The present market-place was erected in the year 1817. In the course of the 32 years that have elapsed since that time, the Edinburgh corn-market has been gradually rising in importance, and it is now on all hands admitted to be the leading grain mart in Scot land. Although Mark-lane is the principal regulator of prices, our local market's range of influence is, nevertheless, very wide, and always extending. This is mainly to be attributed to the circumstance that Edinburgh is situated in the very centre of the great corn-growing district of the Lothians. It is also partly to be ascribed to the facilities of commu nication we possess in the number of railways which concentrate in this city, and radiate to almost every quarter of the kingdom. Our market unquestionably ones much to the railways; and but for the accom mod ition which they afford, it is doubtful whether it would ever have surpassed Haddington in the way that it has dune. In consulting the weekly reports of the Edinburgh and Haddington markets, even after our present market-place had for some years been built, we find that the sales in the latter generally exceeded those in the former. The present market-place could never have been well adapted for the purpose which it was intended to serve. It was always dark—a great objection in a grain market; and very soon after it came to be used it was found to be too limited for the business transacted in it. A consideration of these circumstances led the town council to apply to Parliament for power to erect a new market-place. The Bill giving this power, and allowing the council to borrow, in prosecution of their object, a sum not exceeding 20,0001. upon the faith of the market dues, received the Royal assent on the 21st of June, 1847. Having obtained the necessary authorization from Parlia ment, the council set vigorously to work—purchased a site in the Grass-market, within a short distance of the present market, got the old houses which stood upon the site taken down and removed, pro cured plans and entered into contracts, and now, after a lapse of little more than two years, we re• ceive notification of the fact that the elegant and spa cious building which has been reared will be com pleted and ready for occupation in the first week of December. We understand that the outlay connected with the erection of the new market will nearly ex haust the 10,0001. allowed to be expended on the building. Whether what remains of the 20,0001., after paying the purchase money of the site, cost of the act, &c., will be sufficient to enable the council to take advantage of the authority which they h ave i n th e schedule statute,t acquireo as situated ct ewuret e the hrinbmo e l r tmr e tht r e ebs d du s i rcar w gtoheh h aul d i yro c c h nwhl aeetrsoahtende fromdi : tog s hu c e t r bh i n by, theoe ra d tnGh i anr King'sa t t ts h h hs e e e. s m tr a e r e k t e Stables t ' o t f a o rid wr St b : Lady Wynd on the west, rema i ns t o b e seen. The new building was designed by Mr. Cousin, is in the Italian style, massive, elegant, and we ll su it e d to the site which it occupies. The mouldings are rich and imposing, without the necessity of having had a great deal of labour expended upon th em . Th e design of the windows, which is varied in all the three stories, is very effective; and there is a hand some Doric doorway, with two rustic colum ns . Th e main front of the building is about 98 feet in br ea d t h and 60 feet in height. The remainder of th e f aça d e is made up of two wings, both receding ab ou t 13 feet, having staircases within—that on the west being carried up as a campanile, or bell and clock tower. Upon getting inside the building we discover for the first time, that that part of it at which we have been looking from the street is, in reality, only the vestibule, and that the market, somewhat in the style of a railway station, but having a triple roof; stretches away a considerable distance to the rear. The roofing of the back part is con siderably lower than the front. It is supported, in the centre, by two rows of metal pillars; and is entirely lighted from the roof by means of patent tile glats. The extent of the entire area of the building is 1.52 feet from north to south, and 92 feet from east to west; so that it will at once be evident that there is "ample room and verge enough" for all the purposes of the mark( t.—Scotsman. THE OLD CHURCH SPIRE AT BIRMINGRAM.—Th ' s spire has been declared, by a majority of architects and surveyors, to be decidedly unsa'e and liable to fall down if not taken down. It is to be hoped, however, the whether the latter or the former, such an ancient land mark as St. Martin's spire wil! be at once restored; for in a place like Birmingham, where all is new and Is ith cut associations—every ancient landmark passing away ono after another—so prominent a monument of the olden time can ill be spared. The question has been started whether the church should not be entirely re built; but however identical in form and position, it may be a second question, subtle and profound as that of the identity of Sir John Cutler's silk stockings darned with worsted till no silk remained—whether ouch a rebuilding would constitute a restoration of the ancient fabric of St. Martin's.—Builder. We are glad to find that the election of George Leeman, Esq., to the chair of the York, Newcastle, and Berwick Rahway Company has given the most entire and general satisfaction iu this district. The Journal (who was sole defender of Mr. Hudson here) speaks of Mr. Leercan as "en able and respectable man;" and the Sunderland Herald, after designating him " honour able and trustworthy," says, " Mr. Leeman, it will be remembered, discharged the laborious duties of secretary to the Committee of Investigation, and this appointment bears elecpent testimony to the value of the advice and assistance he rendered in that capacity. We wish the company a good start and a prosperous career under his presidency."—Newcastle Guardian. LIBERATION OF MISS LEGGOTT.—We understand that this young person, the victim of the lottery of split quills, drawn by the jury who tried leer at the late Leeds Borough Sessions, was on Thursday liberated from cus tody. It will be recollected that w hen the verdict of guilty :pas arrived at by the extraordinary means :knurled to, the Learned Recorder sentenced Miss Leggott to six weeks' imprisonment. Immediately afterwards the discovery was made that. her fate had been fixed by lot. Such art outrage on an Englishman's uo tioes of trill by jury —the great bulwark of personal freedom in this country—was, of course, at once made the sulject of an application t 3 the Home Secretary for her release on the ground of the unparalleled eh:Teeter and illegality of the finding of the twelve unensieble inert who sat upon, and ought to have jugged her case. The answer to this application wcs received by the Go vernor of the Leeds Borough gaol on Thursdey, Sir George Grey directing Miss Legeott's immediate libera tion. The result is but an act of justice to Miss Leg gett, while it conveys a well-mer ited censure upk:n the jury; and we hope it will answer as a check against V.,e eggrievation of the n'toriety which Yorkshire juries have of late attained, by their dcci.ions in this case, the Barnard Castle murder, and a few other Listanoes.— Lteds eury. A HUNGRY PACK.—The Monmouthshire hounds, last weth, ran into the fox a long way k-head of the horsemen, and ate him up, bones and al!, not even a remnant of the brush being left.

WILLM ER AND SMITH. The ATTORNEY- GENERA f. (with w hom was Mr. G. flayes) applied, upon the part of Mr. J. Ricardo, M P., chairman of the Electric Telegraph Company, and of the directors of that company, for liberty to file a criminal information against the dt fendants for a libel published in the Morning herald of the II th of October last. The gentlemen on whose behalf he made this application were the representatives of a large property, which they had invested in certain work., for the purpose of furnishing the quickest in telligence of important events to all parts of the country. It would be evident that it was of the utmost importance, not only that the personal character of these gentlemen sh)uld be above all suspicion, but that they should never even be supected of improper conduct in their establishment. Messrs Willmer and Smith, against whom he made this ap • plication, were gentlemen residing in Liverpool, and were correspondents of the Morning Herald ; and the libel of which his clients cern plained having been published in that news paper, an application had been made to Messrs. Willmer and Smith, to ascertain whether they ac knowledged the authorship of the libel. He had in court affidavits, stating that those gentlemen had ad mitted the authorship. Some reasons seemed to have induced Messrs. Willmer and Smith to suppose that a preference had for a long time, been given by the Telegraph Company to the Times and other news papers over their own immediate correspondents. That supposition was without the slightest foundation; and had the charges against the Telegraph Company been confined simply to statements of this description it was possible that the directors of that company, relying upon their own honour and character, might have passed over such charges with the indifference they deserved. But after having published from time to time imputations of this kind, Messrs. Willmer and Smith had at last screwed up their courage to make a direct and pointed attack upon the honour of the directors, who felt bound to come to this Court, and to seek its interposition. The libel in question was very lengthy, containing various charges of undue partiality on the part of the company towards the Times and other papers, to the prejudice of the Morning Herald ; and in this libel Messrs. \Vintner and Smith had taken occasion to allude to a communication made to London from Liverpool in July, 1848—a pericd of great excitement and disturbance here and elsewhere, and they had accused the directors of having made that communication public in the neigh bourhood of Capel-court for their own peculiar pur poses—he supposed for purposes of stock-jobbing. He would read to the Court the passage to which he re- ferred : " On the 27th of July last year a hoax was played upon us, by fictitious news from the south of Ireland being handed to us for publication in the London morn ing papers. Tho news was of a very astounding descrip• tion, and proved to be utterly untrue; but that fact is quite immaterial to the case at present. Upon taking it to the Electric Telegraph-office, the clerk said that the wires were engaged on their own message, but on sceirg the news sent to us they agreed to forward it at once to the Morning Herald without charge, on the con dition that they might afterwards use it themselves. This arrangement, to save time, was consented to. The ditions, however, were entirely broken by the com pany, for the intelligence was first made known in Capel-court, afterwards to Sir George Grey in Down lees-street, and at eleven o'clock was delivered at the Morning Herald office, though it had been given to them at Liverpool at a quarter past seven. So much for good faith." No one could doubt that the object of this paragraph was to insinuate that Mr. Ricardo, the chairman, and other highly respectable gentlemen connected with the company, had made use of the information they had obtained for private purposes—for stock jobbing purposes—and had suppressed the communication they had promised to make to the Morning Herald. The real facts were these :—At the time this message was brought by a person named Ross, a reporter em ployed by Messrs. Willmer and Smith, to the ma nager of the electric telegraph at Liverpool, the telegraph was engaged in communicating to London intelligence receivsd from Ireland for the purposes of the company's own news-room. Seeing the nature of the intelligence brought by Mr. Reis, which stated that her Majesty's troops had been defeated in Ireland, that some of the railway stations were in flames, an that disaffection existed among the military—seeing the importance of this intelligence, and doubting its authenticity, the manager of the telegraph required that if he stopped the course of communication he was making for the purposes of the company, the company should be at liberty to use this intortnation for their own news-room, and to: send it equally to all the papers. The manager also sent up with the message these directions : " Tho news just sent was received in Dublin last night, by special engine to Mr. Conway, editor of the Dublin Evening Post. It was brought to this office to be sent, as a private message, to three of the London papers. Our express—which had no reference to this important news—was in course of transmission. I declined to stop our express—which had no reference to this important news—unless they allowed it to go to the company; assuring them that all the papers would be supplied. Rather than delay it until ours was fiaished, they agreed to do so. You can, therefore, make any use you think proper of it. Is it to be posted? It is known in the town. Mr. Bean and Willmer and Smith's clerk came together. I have the original report received from Mr. Conway, which I refused to send until I had seen Mr. Conway's letter in which the report was inclosed." The message was transmitted with these directions to the office of the company in London. It happened that at the time the message was received there, Mr. Cooke, one of the directors of the company, was present in the office ; and that gentleman, seeing the extreme importance of the news, particularly in the excited state of London at that moment, and fearing that its publication might be attended with most serious consequences, thought it right to give the most positive directions to all the clerks and officers of the establishment that no communication whatever should be made to any one until the matter had been referred to Mr. Ricardo, the chairman of the company. A communication was accordingly made to Mr. Ricardo, at his residence, in Lowndes-square, and that gentlem an acted as he (the Attorney- General) apprehended every true and loyal subject of the Crown would have felt bound to do under similar circumstances. Feeling the extreme importance of the message, Mr. Ricardo at once went to the Home Secretary, and communicated to him the news received by the company; and he also placed the instruments of the company at the command of the Government that they might ascer tain the authenticity of the intelligence. Mr. Ricardo also stated to the Hotne Secretary the nature of the message, and informed him that, from the conditions on which the company had received it, they could not delay its delivery more than half an hour or three quarters of an hour. Having communicated the in formation to Sir G. Grey, and enabled him to give such orders as might be necessary in case any excite• ment should be caused in London by the publication of the intelligence, Mr. Ricardo went to the branch office at Charing cross, and gave directions that the information shout.' be sent to the various rims, end should be posted in the company's news-room. He (the Attorney-General) had the most positive affi la vas of Mr. Ricardo, and other gentlemen connected with the company, declaring that beyond what he had stated they bad, neither on that or on any other occasion, used that or any other news for their own purposes. They expressly denied in the most indig nant terms the charge which had been made against them ; and he (the Attorney-General) had, in addi tion, affidavits going into various charges—which were, indeed, trifling compared with the charge he had mentioned—denying and explaining the accusa tions which had been preferred against the company. He trusted, considering the serious nature of the charge, and the parties by whom it had bee❑ made, that his Lord,hip would be of opinion that this was a case which called fur the interference of that Court. The rule was granted. THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING. NOVEMBER 26, 1849. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Nov, 24. (Before Lord Chief Justice "TILDE and Justices 111AULE, WILLIAMi, and TALFOURD.) THE DUKE OF BRUNSWICK V SLOIHAN AND OTHERS. In this case Mr. Lufh on a former clay obtained a rule, calling on the plaintiff to show cause why one of the defendants named Miles should not be dis charged from the Queen's prison, on the grounds— first, that he had been arrested in hre3ch of good faith; and, secondly, that a judge's order for splitting the execution issued against the defendants had been obtained by the attorney of Sloman, without the knowledge or concurrence of the defendant Miles. Mr. Sergeant ALLEN and Mr. 1113NNIKER now ap peared to show cause against the rule. It was con tended by the Learned Sergeant, that as to the first ground the rule must be discharged, because the ju rat of the rfh lavit of the facts on which the rule had been obti.ined did not mention the day of the month when s'aorn, which had been repeatedly held to be a fatal objction. The COURT inquired if Mr. LuSh Could get over this objection Mr. Lusa would not stay to comment on such an objection to an affidavit alleging breach of faith, on the pert of the Duke of Brunswick, who had pledged his word "as a sovereign prince and a gentleman," that the defendant Aliles should not be arrested, but would submit the, takin ,, the two affidavits together, one of whicli %las diterl the 14• h of November, and referred to the one obj?cted to without date, the affi davit was sufficient. Mr. Sergeant ALLEN would take on himself any discredit there might be in railing this objection to le affidavit. The COURT held the objection fatal ; the rule must either be discharged, or cause shown on the other affilavit. Mr. Sergeant ALLEN then contended that the second affidavit was also insufficient, in stating that Mr. Berry, the attorney of the defendant Miles, had received no notice of the application for the judge's order to split the execution, because at that time Mr. George Smith, and not Mr. Berry, was the attorney of the defendant Miles, and though the affidavit might be true that Berry received no such notice, yet it might also be true that Smith did receive such notice. Mr. Lusa having been heard against the objection, The Couar held the objection to be fatal, and that the rule must be discharged, with costs. Rule discharged accordingly. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Nov. 2 I. IN THE MATTER or CITAILL%3 EDWARD PUGII. This insolvent, a beer retailer, applied under the Protection Act, supported by Mr. Sargood. It appeAred that the insolvent had very recently been made a bankrupt. It was the first case that had occurred under the Protection Act, and the question was, what was to be done with the proceedings ? Mr. SARGOOD said there was no doubt the insolvent had been made a bankrupt, although he had not re ceived the usual notice. Mr. CooKE remarked that the adjudication must have bee❑ served upon him. It was stated that the adjudication must have been left at his last place of residence. lie was, however, anxious to appear and surrender. Mr. SARGOOD asked the Court to adjourn the case with protection for a month. The bankruptcy ousted the jurisdiction of this Court, but, if it was not sus• tained, then the insolvent could be heard under the present position. Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS said it was no use in having two jurisdictions going on at the same time. The best course would be to adjourn the case, to enable the petitioner to surrender to the bankruptcy. The case was adjourned with protection, and subse quently Mr. Moore, the brewer, of Old street road, appeared to oppose He said he was not aware that the insolvent had petitioned this Court until after he bad made him a bankrupt. Mr. Commissioner fnlLLlrs—Well, the jurisdic tion of this Court is ousted by the bankruptcy. No doubt it is a more expensive proceeding than in this Court. Mr. Moore said he would have preferred this Court, as it was far 1:-.5s expensive. Mr. Commi,sioner PHILLIPS told him that if the proceedings in bankruptcy were set aside, then this Court would hear the case, and Mr. Moore could oppose. Mr. Moore added that he wished to inquire into the transfer of a place of business, and should come on the next occasion. _ _ The case was adjourned to the 15th of December. A nice question is likely to arise in this matter, whether this Court or the Court of I.3ankruptcy will dispose of the case. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE. SANSCRIT SCHOLAR.

SUICIDE THROUGH FEAR OF THE LAW.— On Saturday atternoon Mr. Payne held an inquest at the Rose and Crown, Broad-street, City, on view of the body of John George Gibbs, aged 27, late messenger to Mr. Muratte, Spanish merchant, No. 7, Adams. court, who hung himself with a rope about eight o'clock the same morning; and evidence having been given of the discovery of the body by the wife, it was stated by Mr. Hodson, superintendent of the City police, that the de ceased's employer had lost soma ledgers, which were taken from the cellar, and that the deceased was sus p-cted. He in consequence placed two of the City de tective force, Edward Fund!, No. 32, and Huggett, on Thursday night, to watch the movements of the de cease d. Furnell stated that while he and 'Liggett were in Adams court he was seen the previous night by the deceased, who knew him (Huggett). Deceased was aware that he was suspected since Thursday night, and has appeared very dull. Verdict, " Temporary Insanity." Re has left two young children. The deceased had been in difficul''es previously. VIOLENT 0_ -It OF STABBING.—SHEFFIELD, SATUR DAY NIGHT.—A most atrocious case of stabbing occurred in this town, between four and five o'clock yesterday afternoon. The sufferer is an old man, named Bunko lomew Spink, residing in a yard near the bottom of Broad-lane; and the offender, Charles Armitage, of Edward-street, joiner. A son of Armitage, who has been apprenticed to Spink,was on Tuesday week brought before the magistrates, on the charge of stealing files from Spink's fellow-workmen. Spink did not take any part in the prosecution, the case being proved by two of his fellow-workmen, whose files had been stolen. The result was that the lad Was committed to Wakefield for a month. Armitage appears to have laboured under an impression that Spick had been the means of sending his son to priron. Yesterday he went 'o Spick's house, which is in a yard leading from Broad-lane into Garden-street, and made use of very violent and abusive language. Spink went to the door, with the intention of ejecting him from the yard. He had no sooner laid his hand upon him, than Armitage stabbed him in the left arm with a pocket knife, inflicting a wound of a very serious nature. Spink, who; is many years the senior of his cowardly assailant, endeavoured to get out of the ruffian's reach, but before he could do so he received another stab in the abdomen. Having inflicted these injuries, Armitage ran through the court into Broad-lane; but he was pursued by some persons who had been brought to the spot by Spink's cries, and was apprehended near the bottom of Townsend street. He was so violent, however, that it required the assist ance of several parties to detain him until the arrival of a policeman. The officer endeavoured to make him walk to the Town Hall, but he refused, and struggled with such force, that it was found necessary:to secure him in a cart, in which he was conveyed to the lock-up. Spink :vas attended by Mr. Skinner, surgeon; and though the injuries are of a serious nature, we are glad to hear there is no doubt of his recover v.

Sir, I had been afflicted nearly two years with the liver complaint, accompa nied with flying pains in my shoulders, dimness of sight, and difficulty of breathing. After expending upwards of twenty pounds in medicine without finding any relief, I was induced to try your Pills, and by their use, and strict attention to the prescribed regimen, lam effectually cured. Grateful for the same, I publish this statement in the hope that others so afflicted may have recourse to your invaluable medicine, and thereby derive a similar benefit."—Sold by all druggists, and at Professor Holloway's establishment, 244, Strand, London.

For oatmeal the demand was likewise extremely limited, but no change in value was observ able. The arrivals from Ireland into Liverpool and Runcorn consist of only moderate quantities of wheat ani oats, fair of oatmeal, and large of flour ; the sup plies coastwise continuing on the same limited scale as heretofore. With the exception of 17,394 quarters of ' Indian corn end 6 ; 593 barrels of States and Canadian flour, the imports from abroad are also very light. Our market this morning was again exc=eedingly inanimate, and sthilst the choicest descriptions of wheat and flour were held with tolerable firmness for the previous cur ; rency, other kinds of both articles might have been put.- , chased on easier terms, had buyers come forward. Oats and oat.meal met a slow sale, but cannot be considered cheaper than on this day se'nnight. W'oncEsTEß, Nov. 24.—The market here continues prLtty steady. The attendance to day was not very numerous, many farmers being very busy seed sowing at home. The sowing has ben procrastinated in conse quence of the dryness of the weather, but some rain having now fallen, the soil is in excellent condition for culture. To-day was a beautiful autumnal day. The price of English wheat is about the same as at last market day, the average price being 16s per bag for white, and 15s for red English. Grinding barley is slow of sale at 3s to 3s 4d per bushel, and malting 3s 64 [er bushel. Malt little inquired for, and 7s 6d per bushel the current price. Oid oats from 3s 63 to 4s per bushel ; new, 3s to 3s 4d; Irish about 3s to 3s 3d. Good old English beans arc still worth 15s per bag; foreign, 4s per bushel. Peas for grinding average 3s 6d per bushel, and white boilers fetch 41. Spring retches from 5s to 5s 3d per bushel. New rye, 4s 6(1 to 4c B+l per bushel. Stourbridge market yesterday was much more active, and a crabid(ratle amount of business w a s t ra n sac t e d ; in almost every instant.., however, prices were lower. English wheat was worth Is per quarter lees money than at last market day, and barely exceeds 21 per quarter. In barley a fair amount of business was dune ; average prices, 27s to 28s per quarter. Whet-grain lower. At Stratford-on-Avon mark( t yesterday, there was a liberal supply of grain on sale, and here also a decline in the value of wheat to the amount of is per quarter took place. Best English white wheat averaged 165 to to 16- 6d per hag, and red 15s. A pretty good businesi was transacted at these rates. In barley a fair amount of Iti ine - s doieg ; prices ranged from 26s to 28s per quart r. Beans declined about 4d per bag. Peas and oats slow of sale. At Kidderminster market there was also a large at teud.nee of farmers, who were obliged to submit to a decline in the price of wheat in order to effect sales.. Wheat must be quoted Is per quarter lower. Barley also less valuable and the sale dull. No transaction in beans ar,d oats. At ‘Volrerhampton wheat declined 6d per bag, and little business was done, farmers for the most part re fusing to accede to the dealers' terms. We are sorry to report a less favourable account of the potato crop. It is found that the tubers are rotting in the stores in. many places. Parsnips are abundant and fine. GLASGOW CATTLE MARKET, Nov. 22.—At our market to- day the numbers were —oxen, 798; sheep, 3,547; mulch cows, 51. The supply and quality very good. Best ox lacct 475 6d, current 451, cows, bulls, and inferior beasts from 32s to 403 per cwt., sinking offal. The sup ply of :beep was rather larger, and sales were dull — inferior difficult to sell. Best aged wethers hid per lb, current 43 to 4/-cl, old ewes 3d to 30 per do. STONEHAVEN, NOV. 21.—Oats, 401bs, 14s to 14s 6d; barley, 531bs, 20s to 21s. DUBLIN. Nov. 24.—We had again a dull market at our Corn Exchange to- day; although the supply was very moderate, our quotations of Tuesday were barely supported, and a number of samples remained unsold. The business in Indian corn was merely in retail, with out alteration in value. White wheat (new) 18s to 235; lisd, ditto, 16s to 21s; Barley, 9s to 14s ; Bere, 8s to 9s; oats old (per brl.) 8s to 95 6d; oatmeal, 10s is 11s 6d; second flour (per cwt.), 12s 6.1 to 161; Indian.' corn (per 480:U5.), 25s to 28 ;. CORK, Nov. 23.—We have very few arrivals of fo reign grain. The supplies of home grain continue good. the receipt for the week being—Wheat, 2,531 barrels at 15s to 21s 6d per barrel; barley, 4,120 barrels at 8s t-s 11s. 3d per barrel; and oats, 7,051 barrels at 7s to 9s 4d per barrel. Wheat is rather easier to purchase, and we must regard the market dull at a decline of about 6d per bt, H. In prepared Irish it is difficult to make sales, • h&c' r 4 still looking for late rates. Good foreign wheat however is scarce and in demand. Malting barley is in quired for, and prime samples readily command higher rates. in other descriptions there is little alteration to notice. 0 t meet ready purchasers, and are, of the is o, the turn dearer. In prepared oats it is impossible t &fleet tran actions, as holders still hold firmly to the quotati , ns cf last week, which bu)ers are unwilling to necsde to. Fur now flour the demand is very languid, the article being in fact neglected. Prime foreign and • w(1 conditioned samples of old, the former especially, sell readily at full prices. Coarse descriptions continue in demand. Indian corn is an exceedingly slow sale at a further reduction of 2i 6.1 per ton, the extra me value of the article this week being 61 Si. per ton. Indian meal is quite neglected. Flour—First 12s 6d to 1!!s 6d ; extra 14s 6d seconds, I Is Od to 12s 6d ; households 9s to 11s; thirds, 7s to 85 per cwt.
