The agitation for the restoration of " protection" is going bravely on. The agriculturists—determined that they shall not be deprived of the Englishman's unquestionable privilege of grumbling—are assem bling in goodly numbers to give utterance to their complaints, to proclaim the general ruin in which all classes are involved by the free-trade policy, the national bankruptcy that must inevitably take place, and, not the least important or agreeable part of the business, to enjoy the conviviality and feasting at " the sumptuous banquets" by which the proceedings are invariably terminated, and at which the sturdy yeomen exhibit the most unquestionable proofs that their powers of consumption are not . in any degree impaired by the difficulties and embarrassments by which they are surrounded. "A. plague of this sighing, it puffs one up like a bladder," was the clamation of the worthy FALSTAFF in days of T ore. " Grief " is proverbially a " thirsty" companion. So that the sleek and oily condition of the " bucolics," and their eager attention to the creature comforts considerately provided for their refreshment, may easily be accounted for. A bye stander would certainly not suppose that he was surroundad by " ruined men," who were la menting the decline and fall of British prosperity— the setting of the sun of " England's glory." But appearances are deceitful. It is but a temporary forgetfulness of sorrow. The conviviality and jollity are merely assumed for the occasion. It is true that they are excellent actors, and restrain the expression of their feelings most admirably, not merely with the stoicism of the Spartan youth, who permitted the hidden fox to tear out his vitals, without any ex hibition of suffering, but even with an appearance of cheerfulness and hilarity that might deceive the keenest observer. The latest " gathering " took place at Reigate on Tuesday, when the usual " Jeremiads " were uttered in the morning, and the accustomed banquetting took place in the evening. The same actors that recently figured on the Bromley boards made their bows to the Reigate audience. Earl STANHOPE, Mr. G. F. YOUNG, Mr. PAUL FOSKETT, CUM rnultis aliis, were greeted with rapturous applause, whilst they declared that protection, and nothing but pro tection, would afford a remedy for the national dis tress and suffering. And as it seemed to be admitted that no reasonable expectation could be entertained that the present House of Commons would consent to stultify itself by an alteration of the policy that had been so recently adopted, a dissolu tion of Parliament, and a general election, were the immediate objects to the attainment of which all their energies were to be directed. Mr. DISRIBLI was apparently forgotten for the time being. The "equalization and more equitable adjust ment of the land-tax" was not even alluded to. He was no longer " principalelown" to that proposition, nor were his other suggestions brought under the consideration of the assembled agriculturists. They were merely recommended " not to take up the notion that all they wanted was the repeal of this tax, or that, or a particular attainment of a particular law"— "not to commit themselves to any distinct proposition as that to which they looked to effect the d es i re d change." They were told that " even the general assessment of the poor- rate was not to be looked to a s a remedial measure." The Protectionist policy, accord ing to the Reigate magnates, is thus fully developed. They are to take all they can get, and to keep grumbling, to be incessant in their complaints, but sib: cautiously from saying what they really 'hey are " not to commit themselves to any .oposition." " Protection to native industry" as an excellent claptrap and rallying cry iiscontented farmers and unemployed la for it appears that the labourers are to be to and convinced of the evils of cheap and :ood, but they are not to be told in what manner the principle is to be carried out, or how they are to be benefited by the new policy. " Omne abatain I NI/ASA- Th 'l>t4 43t lV r( re ti f t Akti6e(l fc THE SUN, ignolum pro magnifica" is an adage well understood i by the leaders. The very mystery and studied vagueness will, they believe, attract the unreasoning multitude. Another advantage will also be derived. The hollowness and inadequacy of the measure cannot be exposed, as would undoubtedly be the case if any definitive propositions were brought forward, and internal disputes and dissen sions will be avoided. The utter disunion and want of coherence of the so-called party has been too clearly exhibited by recent events—and it is only by preserving a strict and unbroken silence as to its ulterior objects that the heterogeneous and dis. cordant elements can be held together. But will any rational men, with the power of thinking and judging for themselves, submit to be thus hood winked, and to follow in darkness the dictates of any men or body of men ? Mr. DISRAELI brings forward his propositions boldly and manfully. They can be fully examined and the probable results anticipated. He can be " pinned down," thereto, if he should exhibit any appearance of vacillation or retrogression. But the would-be aspirants to the leadership do no such thing; they know that it is easier to pull down than to construct, to criticise than to compose. They feel incompetent to frame a statesmanlike project that can stand the test of investigation. Hence the vague and empty declamation that means nothing, and can lead to no future amelioration of the condition of the agricul tural or of the labouring classes. The world . has at length been favoured with the results of the Orange deliberations. The secrets of the Grand Orange Lodge of Ireland have been revealed to the uninitiated. The long-talked of " report" has been let off through the columns of a weekly Contemporary, and such a tissue of dull and unmitigated absurdity it has seldom been our mis fortune to wade through. Our memory does not supply us with any instance of a set of men wasting so much time and labour in writing themselves down asses, and "a little more," as the worshipful members of the Grand Orange Lodge of Ireland have done on this occasion. "Dunn vitant stulti vitia, in coutraria currunt." They sought to inculpate Lord CLARENDON — they have eminently succeeded in acquitting him, and convicting themselves. If ever a doubt rested on the mind of any sane person unbitten by the mania of Orangeism in reference to the flagrant and unblushing charges made by the Irish Orangemen and their organs against the Irish Viceroy, he need but read this stupid report to see every one of those charges disproved and utterly refuted by the evidence brought forward to sustain them. If a copy of this precious document should be for warded to his Excellency, we think Mr. CONNELLAN would be, in gratitude, bound in his own most cour teous style to thank the " right worshipfuls" for making the amende honorable. We think he should acknowledge his obligations to the " Select Committee" for having removed every shadow of doubt that in unthinking minds might have been thrown on the fair fame of Lord CLaans- DoN by the over-zealous organs of Orangeism. Never was triumph more complete than the Viceroy's, never was defeat more humiliating and degrading than that of the Orangemen; failure we expected and anticipated, but such damning proofs of the utter falsehood of every count in the long bill of impeach ment we were not prepared for. This wise emanation from the Irish Orange " Council of Clarendon" commences with a sort of apology for troubling the public with the secrets of the lodge-room, by informing us that there are occa sions on which the " Orange Society" departs from its usual reserve, and enlightens the world with state ments usually communicated only to the happy brethren of the " mystic tie." And that " Such an occasion (they say) now demands the spe- oial attention of the Grand Lodge. The proceedings of our scciety have been misrepresented; its purposes and principles have been defamed; its actions have been par tially and untruly described; and the very activities by which it was made an instrument under God to avert from our country the calamities of civil dissension, have metwith that recompense of calumny and invective with which , loyal (?) exertions have been at various times ungrate fully rewarded." . . . • • " These considerations, rendered more grave by cir cumstances of recent occurrence, vitally affecting the character of the institution, made it imperative upon the Grand Lodge at its present sitting, to appoint a COMltlittee of investigation fur the purpose of examining into and re porting upon certain transactions which took place be tween the Government and members of the institution in 1848, and into circumstances connected with the events of the present year, which still engage public attention." _ . The most paltry pettifogger that ever attempted to mystify a bad cause at the " Old Bailey," never put forward a more unmanly, uncandid, and sneaking statement. All Orange-land was made to ring with the foulest slander against the Irish Government. The Lord-Lieutenant was charged with secretly encouraging insulting processions, which kept alive angry feelings, and fre quently led to conflict and bloodshed ; he was charged with secretly organizing and arming an exclusive faction, which has been the curse of Ire land ; he was charged with supplying the arms to those miscreants who did the deeds of murder at Dolly's Brae. These charges were grumbled forth by titled ninnies and insignificant squireens ; they were preached by "surpliced fanatics ;" they were brawled out by the rabble. And now, when put to the proof, these vile slanders are fined down by the " Select Committee" into " certain transactions" between the Government and the Orangemen! How mean, how dastardly, is this shrinking from the real question. Their timidity, and mysticism, and evasion would almost lead us to conclude that they were affected by a consciousness that they were about to commit an act of suicide in publishing their own condemnation. A more full, clear, and satisfactory refutation of every Orange slander against Lord CLARENDON could not have been supplied than has been so industriously furnished by this tiresome "report." We should be almost disposed to doubt its authenticity were it not for the medium through which it reached the light, and some little internal evidence of a willingness without the power to wound, which is evidently current through its tedious length; yet this little angry feeling may but be assumed, it may be but the cunning trick of some secret enemy, who just put in this little grain of spice while he was leading the dolts on to their own destruction. We are not quite sure that some waggish friend of his Excellency did not escape the vigilance of the " tiler." We cannot well otherwise reconcile it with the acts of men of ordinary understanding to put in proof evidence which not only fails to prove their case, but proves the direct contrary. They hava not only failed to show that Lord CLARENDON, either by word or deed, recognized or encouraged, organized or armed the Irish Orange men as a body, but we will show by their highest authority, the Grand Master of the Orangemen, Lord ENNISKILLEN, that Lord CLAIRENDON flatly refused to do any such thing. The report states that— " On the 21st (April, '4) Colonel Phaire called on the Earl of Enniskillen and Mr. Samuel Yates John stone (Grand Master and Deputy Grand Secretary for Ireland), and informed them that the Government officers were in communication with him relative to the organi zation of Dublin in case of an insurrection; that certain houses were to have depots of arms, and that an officer of the army would command each post; that the arrange ment of all these matters had been confided to Captain J. T. Kennedy. Colonel Phaire also informed Lord Enniskillen that the Orangemen had agreed to an ad dress, modified from the original one; but that they were insisting on being recognized as Orangemen by name." Early on the 22d, it appears Major TURNER met Mr. DAVID STUART, the Grand Master of Dublin, and endeavoured to induce him to prevent the adop tion and presentation of the address by the Dublin Grand Lodge, as his Excellency's reply v, ould " not be satisfactory to the Orange holy." The report goes on to state that— " About the same hour that Major Turner was en gaged in conversation with Mr. Stuart, Culunel I'haire had an interview with Lord Enniskillen and the Deputy Grand Secretary of Ireland. LORD ENNISKILLEN STATED THAT HAVING HAD A CONVERSATION WITH LORD CLARENDON, HE HAD NOT SUCCEEDED EITHER IN PROCURING ARMS OR SECURING SUCH AN ANSWER TO THE ADDRESS AS THE ORANGEMEN DESIRED." Can anything be more clear and convincing than this statement of Lord ENNISKILLEN ? Here we hare these sages of Leitrim House proving to the world, in plain, distinct, and positive terms, from the mouth of their Grand Master, that Lord C L ARENDON refused either to supply with arms or recognise as a body the Dublin Orangemen. So much for Lord CIA RENDON'S secret negotiations with the Dublin Orangemen. Let us now examine the proofs as to the charge that his Excellency armed the heroes of Dolly's Brae. It appears that in July, 1848, a deputation from the " Belfast District Orange Lodge " repaired to Dublin to offer their services and beg for arms ; and that after several interviews with Sir E. BLAKENEY, in which they manifested their malevolence against their Roman Catholic fellow-subjects, the Gallant General informed them " That arms should be supplied from the Belfast bar racks, in case of an outbreak, by the officer in command there, and that certain companies of men should be placed under experienced sergeants of the line for dixipline." A deputation from another district in Antrim also waited on Sir E. BLAKENEY for the same purpose,— " The Gallant Gereral asked them whether they would object to act with loyal Roman Catholics, and the answer was Expressive of ignorance of the existence of any such." How disgusted must have been the chivalrous and high-minded soldier at this narrow bigotry ! Nobody knew better than Sir E. BLAYEINEY that the poor Roman Catholic soldier exhibited no conditional loyalty on the battle-field, that he shed his blood as freely at .Waterloo as if his ancestor fought with WILLIAM on the banks of the Boyne. But after all, the Ulster Orangemen got no arms from the Government, for the report states that— " The necessity for carrying out this plan for an Orange (2) armament in Belfast ceased to exist in conse quence of the events of Ballingarry, and the defeat of the attempt at insurrection. And thus these wiseacres have extinguished the charge against Lord CLARENDON of arming the northern Orangemen. Thus are they convicted from their own lips. Thus have they clearly demonstrated that Lord CLARBNDON neither recognized, organized, nor armed the Irish Orangemen. And now they stand before the British Empire, before Europe, before the World, a pitiable instance of the folly into which evil passions will lead men, branded as disloyal knaves and convicted slanderers. THE FRENCH _REPUBLIC We have received the Paris journals of yesterd One of the amnestied insurgents of June, 1848, who, on his landing at Havre exclaimed, in spite of the remonstrances and advice of M. Vicron FOUCLIER, " Vive la Republique Democratique et Sociale," was immediately arrested, placed again on board the steamer, and re conducted to his prison at Brest. Letters from Marseilles of the Ist inst. announce that the India mail from London, detained in that harbour in consequence of the accident which occurred to the British steamer Medusa, bad been transferred to the French Levant packet Leonidas, which sailed on that day for Malta. The Assembly was engaged on Tuesday in dis cussing the proposition of I. BOUVET to reduce by one-half the contingent of 80,000 men demanded by the Minister of War for the military service of 1850. The debate was adjourned to yesterday, when the proposition was rejected, and the contingent demanded by the Minister voted. _ _ The mission of M. DE PERSIGNY to Berlin will last three months. Several merchant vessels were wrecked on the Ist inst. near La Rochelle during a violent storm which prevailed along the whole of the west coast o France. The Journal Elbeuf sa3 s :—" At the market of Newbourg on Wednesday, and at that of Elbeuf the day after, the conversation turned principally on measures taken by the authorities of the department of the Eure to put down the propagation of Socialist doctrines in the country districts. Among other facts, it was stated that the mayor of one of the principal communes in the canton of Amfreville had been suspended by the Prefect for negligence in the performance of his duty. The Corsaire says—" A Socialist petition, having 200,000 signatures, is, it is said, to be shortly pre senteel to the Assembly by Citizen PIERRE LEROUX. The Mountain wiAt it to be understood that these 200,000 signatures, collected in every direction, are those of the workmen employed in building in Paris. The object of the petition is to demand a sum of ten millions from the State, in order to found a grand association. It is said that N. TRIERS intends to speak against this manifestation." It is said that M. DE RAYNEVAL will be appointed Minister Plenipotentiary to the Court of St. Peters burgh. The Moniteur announces the appointment of Rear • Admiral DUBOURDIEU to the command of the Brazil and La Plata stations, in place of Rear-Admiral LEPREDOUR, whose term of service has expired. Rear-Admiral DELASEUX is to replace Admiral Du- BOURDIEU as Naval Commandant at Algiers. N. CHARLES DUPIN has completed his report in the name of the Commission appointed to frame the law prescribed by the Constitution for the regulation of the Ministers and the definition of their functions. The conclusions of the report are to the following effect " To put an end to all uncertainty on the subject, and to proceed in perfect conformity with the intentions of the Assembly, the Commission unanimously decides that the National Assembly may be consulted in the follow ing terms :—Ought tha Committee, named in pursuance of the vote of the Assembly for taking the proposition into consideration, limit itself to declaring whether it thinks it necessary to appoint a commission to frame a project of law, the demand for which has been taken into consideration ? Or ought it to regard the actual commission, named after clue examination by the stand ing committees, as competent to accomplish the objeot intended by the proposition of M. Lancastel ?"

General EVARISTO SAN MIGUEL died of appo plexy on the 27th ult.

We receive to-day the following letter, detcd the 20th, from the tI lgesirns correspondent, which would tend to accredit that intel ligence :—` It is believed at Gibraltar, that her Majesty . Queen Victoria will visit the Tenon next summer. I may be able in a few days to ascertain the correctness of that announcement, which has given rise to another, namely—that her Majesty the Queen of Spain will come to Andalusia at the same period, and that an interview between the two gracious Sovereigns will take place at Cadiz.'

It would appear from a letter, dated 27th Novem ber, addressed by Colonel CARINI to the Democrutie Pacifique, that King 808 A, conscious of the ille gality of his usurpation of the throne of Sicily, is anxious to procure from the members of the Sicilian Parliament a revocation of the Act of Deposition, passed by that Parliament assembled in its two Chambers in 1848, which Act of Deposition still remains in full force and virtue, and which cannot be repealed by any number of individual members of that Parliament. Colonel CARINI says, " that the Sicilian Parliament, when it found that it could no longer resist the troops of the Usurper, prorogued itself, thus giving to its retirement from the scene of action a mere temporary character only, and leaving un revoked the fundamental measures which it bad adopted, more especially the decree deposing ad 3 nasty which had no longer any right over Sicily. The King of NAPLES is now endeavouring by seduction and violence to procure the revocation of this decree of deposition. He firit of all addressed himself to the Peers (Sicily, be it remembered, like England, possesses an hereditary peerage), and notwithstand ing the Sicilian Peerage, numbers among its mem bers, nut only all the grandees of the kingdom, but all the ecclesiastical dignitaries, even down to the provincial of the Jesuits, the act of revocation of this decree of desposition received only twenty-one signa tures out of 180 Peers who were Members of the Chamber. Out of these twenty one persons two only were voluntary- apostates, the other nineteen having yielded to threats and coercion. It was evident that twenty-one could never revoke the decree of deposition, and therefore the KING commissioned two apostates, MM. PINELLI and MAINIINIE, to hawk about from house to house the act revoking the decree of deposition in quest of the signatures of their old Parliamentary colleagues. They are accompanied by sass-d'armes, and are invested with full powers to secure the success of their enterpriza ; they have the power of dismissing, despoiling, and imprisoning those who refuses their signatures. The Prince of PALA GONIA, gentleman of the KING's bedchamber, has re fused the personal request of the KING, that he would sign. Monsignor TORRISI, of the Chapel Royal of Palermo, received his dismissal by a verbal message, delivered to him by an aide-de-camp of General FILANGIERI during the time he was engaged in the performance of Divine service. But it can scarcely be expected that all will follow so honourable an example, more especially fathers o families, who may by refusing a mere signature de prive their families of bread. The Peers and De• puties of Sicily, however, who have preferred exile to witnessing the convulsions of their conquered coun try, will no doubt protest against the validity of every act emanating from corruption and violence, of every act essentially irregular and illegal, the signa tures to which have been either bought by corruption or extorted by intimidation.

In his descent he was noticed to turn completely round, so that he alighted on his feet instead of his head. He fell, however, wi . h such ol cn ce that bosh of his legs were broken, while his body was otherwise dreadfully mangled.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. cri Y, QUAR7'EI? TO THREE. The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday war quiet, and, compared with Friday's rates, prices of all kinds wore 1. per lb. lo t ver. the sales were estimated at 4,000 Liles, it:clad:rig 1,500 American on speculation. The following were among the sales, viz., 100 Pernam and 3,laranharn at Cad. to Gil, and 300 Surat at 41d. to 41d. per lb.—Railway Shares were less active at rather lower prices. The sales of grain in the markets which regulate the duties were last week small, being only 97,974 quarters of wheat. The large arrivals of tereien have interfered wLh the sale of home grown. The accounts received within the last few days from St. Petersburgh are of a very int r,sting character to those who look beyond the present time. There has for a long period been a want of uniformity in the Russian commercial code. Sometimes high, and at other dates reduced duties have been levied, especially on refined sucar, and from the pi culler constitution of the mercantile body, divided as its members are into merchants of the first, second, or third class, as the case may be, there is a serious impediment to the develop ment of the trade of the country. Tallow is a con stant example of the fact, and wo know of no rea son why, at lower prices, there might not, to the great profit -of Russia, be double the quantity exported that there is now. Nothing but a great reduction in prices will act powerfully on consumptien, and the competition of our Australian colonies already begins to work its effect, and may bring about a change. This change, it is highly to be desired ; should be in the direction of free trade, and if the current rumours are at all to be relied upon, they may be so. The Emperor has already revoked the prohibition upon the export of the precious metals, insposed when the political difficulties of the Continent rendered a drain not un likely; and this in , asure will prove of essential ben( fit to the native merchants, who have for some time past had to make great sacrifices in remitting to England, the exchange being so greatly in our favour that it will answer the purpose to send specie even by the comparatively costly mode of land conveyance. We need hardly remark that in any estimate of the future position of the London money market, this is a fact which should not be left out, for it is reckoned by some that a half to one million sterling may reach us within a month or two. Tile balance of trade may be favourable to us from more than one cause, and the periodical payment of the dividends on the Russian loan held here acts in conjunction with them; but still the subjoined figures, regarding the shipment of Tallow from Russia, will assist in determining the point:— To London Outports United Kinglom Foreigners .. 1849. 1848. 50,139 70,617 46,401 49,046 96,543 119,663 21,921 9,757 118,464 129,460 There remain over in St. Petersbargh for shipment next year 30,000 to 35,000 casks. A paragraph appears in an American paper, headed " Tho new Partner of the Barings," and dated from Boston. It is as follows :—" The mercantile class here have been quite gratified to learn, that Mr. Russell Surgis, of this city, while in London on his way overland to India, received very liberal overtures from the banking-house of the Baring 3, to become a partner in that celebrated establish ment, and has accepted the offer. It is understood that Mr. Sturgis will be the reception part ner, the position occupied by Mr. Joshua Bates for many years. Mr. Sturgis has resided in India in former yo.ars; he is one of the numerous family bearing the name, who hail from New England, and whose sagacity and enter prise have been strikingly manifest during the last half century, as they have been the pioneers to new marts of commerce, and have been respected at home and übroai, for mercantile honour and integrity." The continued money purchases of Consols have quite driven out of the market, for the present, even the more courageous Bears, and if they cannot find it in their heart to go with the stream, they are at least compel!, d to remain quiet, and await a better time for speculative sales. Of course, we pretend not to say how soon this may came, but present appearances are in favour of continued buoyancy, whatever oc casional checks may arise.

The flames were extinguished, and every assistance was afforded, but she vas so dreadfully injured that she died the next day.

It came before his Lordship yesterday upon an appeal motion, from an oilier of the Vice-Chancellor of England, granting an injunction restraining the defend ants, proprietors of a bleaching-mill, from continuing to pollute, according to the allegation of the plaintiff, cer tain brooks running from a reservoir through the plaintiff's land near Kendal, in Westmoreland. The LIED CHANCELLOR, on taking his seat this morn ing, gave judgment at considerable length, directing the order (.f the Vice-Chancellor to be discharged, thereby dissolving the injunction, and giving the plaintiff liberty to bring an action at the next York assizes to try the question of nuisance or drainage. VICE-CIIANCERY.—(THJS DAY.) (Before the VICE-CHANCELLOR Of ENGLAND.) MATTHEW'S V. THE EARL OF CARLISLE. The further arguments in this part-heard motion fer the dissolutiLn of :an injunction occupied the Court the whole morning. (Before the Vice-Chancellor IVIonAm.) His HONOUR, after disposing of the case of Evans v. Protheroe, proceeded to hear the further arguments in tho part-heard cause of Griffiths v. Lunnell, which occupied the remainder of the morning. COMMON PLEAS.--(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco.) FISII V. KENI PTON. Mr. O'MALLEY said in this case he had to show cause against a rule obtained by Mr. Lush to review the taxation of the Master; and he should submit this was not a question which their Lordships would en tertain at all. He did not find that Mr. Lush, either in his affidavit or in his statement to the Court, in sisted at all that the Master had acted on any errone ous principle in the taxation of the costs in question. The only matter of which Mr. Lush complained was that the Master, adopting right principles, had applied them erroneously to several of the witnesses brought forward on the trial. The only way of ascertaining that would be for the Court to go through the evi dence of Every witness called upon the trial, and in fact regularly to tax the plaintiff's costs from the beginning to the end so far as those witnesses were concerned. Mr. Justice MAULS said the Master who had taxed the costs had reported to the Court that the witnesses were applicable to both counts in the declaration, and therefore those witnesses ought to be allowed to the vho succeeded, and disallowed to the de--. Pendent. Mr. Luau said, if the witnesses were applicable to the count on which the plaintiff succeeded, he could not contend that the Master's taxation was not right. lie could, however, satisfy the Court that several of the witnesses called fur the plaintiff had nothing to do with the first count. Mr. Justice MAuLE said, the Court could not as sume the office of taxing-master. They could not malse this rule absolute without involving themselves in a mass of business in detail, which they were not so competent to perform as those w ho p e rf o rmed it ordinarily, and they w ould withdraw themselves from that which was more properly the business of the Court. Rule refused. EXCHEQUER.—(THIS DAY.) (Sittings at Nisi Prius, at Westminster, before the LORD CHIEF I3ARON and a Sp ec i a l Jury.) WOOD V. DUTTON AND ANOTHER. The trial of this case was resumed this morning. Sir Wm. Winniett, the Governor of the Gold Coast of Africa, deposed on the part of the plaintiff, that the climate of that country is extremely unhealthy in i . 5 charecter to some constitutions, and that in mall cases it had been found to affect the brain to such degree as to produce insanity. This concluded the case of the plaintiff. Mr. MARTIN then addressed the jury for the de' fendaets. Ile described his clients to be a firm of the highest respectability, and one of the oldest in the city of London. 1 hose gentlemen were most de' sireus that all the transactions with the late Mr' Newman involved in this case should be thoroughly sifted and investigated; and al' though, had he acted alone on his own feelings and opinions, he should not have deemed it necessary to call a single witness, becau . se he thought that nearly every one of the plaintift witnesses had broken down in their attempts t 0 establish her case, still, as his clients were anxious that the whole matter should be thoroughly examined' he felt himself bound to call several witnesses, some of whom would be found to have been present at every interview which had taken place with Newman. Up 0 . , the 19th of January, 1838, the defendantsbaci not had the least cause to doubt the honesty or the accuracy of their servant, but on that day a circumstance had come to their knowledge which confirmed their first suspicions as to the p:opriety of his transactions with them. The Learned Counsel referred cursorily to the earlier voyages made by Newman and proceeded to say, that in October, 1837, Newman was desirous to have 1501, but the defen dants submitted they must have the books and se' counts of the previous voyage, in order to enab le them to complete their arrangement. On the sth December the defendants received another letter fro° Mr. Walton, the attorney of Newman, in which that gentleman stated that the latter had been with hint to request that he would undertake the arrangement of their account before he proceeded on his net t voyage, and requesting also that they would gi ve the matter their early consideration. It won' seem that between the ith and . the 1 ? t, of that month an interview had taken Po e ' before Mr. Walton with the defendants, for on this last day they received another letter from bi fe c i a stating that Newman had informed him that he ha d not dxered to them his accounts of the last voya g e ' and, consequently, he now forwarded them, in tic hope that the defendants would give them the ir earliest attention. On looking over those accounts n sent to them, the defendants found that there were two or three books wanting; and, a ccord; ingly, they wrote to Newman, stating that fact, a n requesting that he would forward the piece-bol ir e and the invoice book, which were necessary to enabl e them to complete the examination of the acceo: Again, on the 21st of that month Mr. Walton wro',: asking for the completion of the settlement of ti' d ," accounts. To this the defendants replied that' til el s could not proceed with the matter until the two book abovementioned had been produced. Mr. 'Wall wrote again on the 30th of the month, stating ti a the invoice book could not be given by NTewmane I; asmuch as he would require it to check the aecoan himself, and that he did not think WI was any necessity that they should have that bee' adding, at the same time, that the book should 1 7 . open to their inspection if they thought it requisi te Ile (Mr. Martin) submitted that all the books C O :: fleeted with the voyage were the p ro p er ty of t' to defendants, and that, th e r e f ore , th ey were ent itled "), its possession The defe n d an t s , fi n di ng t h a t t he b°°o would not be given u p, p l ace d t h e matter in !, 8 ra j hands cf their att orney , M r .

Hutton and Sons, of Watli l l; street, have consulted me on the subject of ~t 1 e is transactions in the way of business with Mr. 0 b lax t Newman, and particularly in reference to the voyage which Mr. Newman made on their accen y o f and they have put into my hands those accounts such latter voyage, which have been furnished them by Mr. Newman ; and they have likewise gi Vett ~0 me a copy of the corresponden ce w hi c h th e y had with him, and lik ew i se o f t h at b a d W l `. yourself on the subject. You are perbage not aware that the engagement between lie parties preparatory to Mr. Newman's sailing on of last voyage was, that he should remit the prcceeostis hie sales to this country. Neu', according to ; 1 , own admission, in the books, and better evidence ee„ 6 , not be had, he withdeld, on the 28th Atigust, 19 `1„, 22 doubloons, 13/ ;dollars, and ,on :the 15th 4_ 1 _, 1 0 i3 ]837, 66, doubloons more, which he sold on the ', to e Coast. The value of that portion Messrs. 1111 , ' f ee require payment of forthwith. There is also a "Itn i quantity of gunpowder remaining unaccounted, w" sere e Those ot; Mr. Newman states is in the hands of Mr. Hutton at Cape Coast. It may be so or it may W o n t at any rate Mr. Newman hands ever no receipt ilder Mr. Thomas Hutton for the same, and if the p cvv t ioa in question be really there, it is not with the san e ns is of Messrs. Hutton, and it cannot therefore be ceL y e dered at their risk. Very large sales appear to r ri to been made to the resident merchants, don't 0 1 " 0 , 0 e the natives, of part of the cargo with which she l e d entrusted. It is quite usual for persons so entr u cti et as Mr. Newman was, to furnish in their ac e or el sales to such persons, their names "'be, residences. In this respect the account "' b e , be perfected, and they have reason ° o de lieve that some of the sales which were u oy are altogether omitted, or at least very e rronee a i o entered, and for less than they produced. I l gbet very large charges are made for ship's expens cs ' de bt6 not a single name of a person with whom such ee ipta were incurred has been furnished, much less r e , e d by these parties for the amounts so paid to then:' oun t for aught Messrs. Hutton know, the a cv ico c• may still remain undischarged. The " P ip en'" book" which Messrs. Hutton, on Mr. Ne vi is bien setting sail, furnished him with, in o leo ought to have been entered the j o s of the different commodities with which he t i lsr trusted under the separate head of each . E: . , to . article, has not been returned, so that it is ou power of Messrs. Hutton, without at least an )",:1,00 sity of trouble, and perhaps not then, to ascertain ~le the books which have been furnished that th 3 cargo has been sold, which, according to Als., C . s pa Account, is represented to be tit; 10 7 , SWITZERLAND. In the National Council of Switzerland, on the 26th ult., M. ETTEL brought forward a motion that the Government should be obliged to decl a r e it s mo tives for expelling any political refugee. M. DunEr opposed this, and said that the Government must be left to act for the good of the country and the pro tection of society. The debate was eventually ad journed. THE COUNTESS BATTIIYANY. The Swiss papers state that the widow of Count Louis BATTLIYANY, with her children, has arrived in Rorschach, in Switzell.nd, w here her sister, Countess WESTEIIIIOLD, has been residing for some time. ITALY. The Roman Gazette publishes the following:— " The Cardinals of the Ccmmittee of the Government, who allow free access to all persons who have anything to say to them, admitted this morning a certain Cecca relli, ex adjutant of the disbanded civic guard. He pre sented a petition, iu which he demanded, in imperious language, employment and the immediate advance of 100 dollars. Without waiting for a reply, lie:drow a dagger, and threatened to stab them if tl“) , did not give him the money. The Cardinals cndeavoured to calm him, but called for assistance, whereupon he plunged the Hugger into his own breast." According to another version, be did not threaten the Cardinals, but on his demand being rejected, stabbed himself. He was taken away by the Police.
