groom or two, or his labour and money will be lost. The list given above is exclusive of the numerous and magnificent collection of horses and mules in the royal stables at Madrid. Heros nest enumerates the dismissals and ap pointments made in the household by him and M. Arguelles. The persons filling the high situations, and in nearest communication with her Majesty, are : the Marchioness of Belgida, the Countess of Espoz y Mina ; the first as Camarera Mayor, and the latter as her Majesty's governess, to whom I understand she is particularly attached. On the removal of M. Oribe, Patriarch of the Indies, from the office of confessor to her Majesty, M. Busto, Bishop of Tarragona, was appointed. The brother of the Duke de la Victoria, M. Antonio Fernandez Espartero, an . ecclesiastic, well known f o r his piety and the purity 1)f his morals, has been made one of the chaplains of the Royal chapel. Haring dispatchf•d the subject of removals and ap pointments in the household, awl the improvements and repairs in the patrimony and palaces of her Ma jesty, M. Heron goes on to remark upon three impor tant points, namely, the property which Ferdinand the Seventh had in shares in the Bank of San Per-. nand° at his death, the secret purse or savings set aside by Maria Christina, in 1833, out of her daugh ter's income . , and which was carried on to 1840, and lastly, on the existing doubt with respect to the share of the jewel's and personal property of the late King, which respectively belong to the Queen and her sister the Infanta. What has become of the bank shares no one seems to know or to acknowledge. Some docu ments, however, in the Intendant's office prove their existence. A. like fate would seem to have befallen the secret purse set apart for her Majesty. in the eight years which this saving was being accumulated, there entered the Royal Treasury for the purpose 371423/. sterling, of which the new banker of the palace, on taking an account •of the treasury after the abdication of the late Queen Regent, was handed over no more than 4,4701. sterling. And lastly, the persons charged with the guardianship i of her Majesty and sister, have no means of deciding, in the absence of the proper documents, which appear to he missing, the property left or belonging to the Infanta. In such case it is but natural to suppose that the deci sion of the doubts in question, and the usual provision for the Infanta, will be referred to the proper law tri bimals and Cortes of the country. , In the whole of the memoir, it is remarkable that not one word derogatory to the conduct of the late QUeen Regent, or of her management of the large in comes of the young Queen, is expressed. How much of these incomes and of the jewels, &c. of the Crown have been removed out of Spain,. the public are left, out of respect to the young Queen, in complete igno rance. The repeat, however, of the Committee ap pointed long. since to inquire into the subject, will one day or other throw some light on it. ORIGIN OF HOUSE RACES IN '• ENGLAND AND FRANCE. We have no means of ascertaining the period at Which horse-racing commenced in England. There are, however, authentic records still existing, de scribing sofne races at Epsom during the reign of Henry the Second. Under Henry the Eighth the traces are somewhat more clearly defined. We learn 'that bluff Harry" was present at horse-races at Chester and Stamford, where prizes were run for. `They might have been called steeple-chases ; for there were some rasping fences on the race-course. The prizes were valuable only for the honour due to the conqueror, who received a small wooden bell, or ui►neiltedi with flowers. James the-First established a regular organisation for those matters. There were fixed periods for the races to take place. Race-courses were laid out at Sewmarket, Croydon, and Enfield Chase, and a silver bell was substituted for the trmer woolen one. Cromwell—all Roundhead as he was—had a num ber of brood mares. As a sportsman, however, he must how before his Equerry, whose famous horse, Plaice's White Turk," is well known in the annals of ancient sporting. - After Cromwell came Charles the Second, and from this period horse-racing may date the import ance which it has ever since maintained in England. On coming to the throne, he found heavy chargers, blowing like Grampuses, struggling against Flemish hunters, which in the high and palmy days of Melton would have been dubbed dray-horses. Charles, the Merry Monarch, re-established the races which had been instituted at Newmarket by James the First, and which had been interrupted by the " crop-eared knave" Cromwell. He also established the system of giving prizes of value, awl set the example by giving a silver cup, value 100 guineas, to be run for. The era of thorough-bred horses may he said to have com menced under the reign of this jovial Prince. His stahles contained some superb Arab stallions, and he packed off his Master of the Horse, Sir Christopher Wyvil, in search of some thorough-bred mares. Si_ Christopher set out on his travels, but whether he went to Arabia, Andalusia, Persia, 't'artary, or India, history saith not—certain, bowPvc-r," it is, that he returned to England with a string of very beautiful ware:, which were henceforth denominated the • Royal Mares." • .In the reign of Queen Anne, Arabian Darby, the Lister Turf, which was bought by the Duke of Ber wick at the siege of Buda, and t i ttrwar's hay Barb, presented to Louis the Fourteenth by the Emperor of Morocco, and eventually taken to England, obtained a great celebrity in• England. Darby Arabian may be considered as the sire of a breed of horses which have ,ever since remained unrivalled by other countries. George the First and George the Second encou raged the breeding of horses ; but the eftbrts of George the Second were seconded by his good fortune in se curing Godolphin Arabian, which was taken out of a heavy cart, which he was dragging about the streets of Paris, and was brought over to this country. The French novelist, Eugene Sue, has already celebrated the glories and misfortunes of this famous horse. The race of English horses may he, therefore, satis faetorily traced to Arabia ; but in equine, as in other nobility, the pedigree is ever fbund to contain some admixture of plebeian blood. In former days we were in the habit of putting lialf-bred mares to thorough-bred stallions, but fortu nately the richness and innate " nobility," so to speak, of the Arab blood absorbed all the vices of the half-bred maternal blood, and the colts and fillies . were removed into the illustrious category of tho rough-brtmls. For the last century this practice has dis continued, and simultaneously with it the Arab blood, the primary principle of the thorough-bred stock, has rarely, if-ever, been allowed the honour of admixture with regular thorougk-breds. English thorough bred horses, when carefully trained under the eye of .English trainers, have been found by experience to be immensely superior to the Arab breed, that in all handicap races several pounds weight is invariably al lowed to Arabian horses. It would be tedious to go through the list of cele brated. names which .are to he found in the " Stud' Poole," the first of which was published in 1753. We may, however, note down Eclipse, who was born in 1754, and died in 1789, after having made his owner's fortune, and leaving behind him 320 colts and fillies, almost all of which showed themselves worthyof their sire. . If the English boast of the antiquity of their races, they must yield the palm to France. The races of Semur, a small town in the Cote d'Or, have been carried on .since the reign of Charles V. one • of the arrangements have undergone any alteration ever since 1350. The races have always come off on the same day, the Thursday after Pentecost. The prizes have not been changed, viz., a gold ring, a white scarf, a pair of gloves trimmed with golden . fringe, and a pilnic containing forty 'francs. Cep ,tury after century have these humble races:been always looked. forward to at. the appointed day, by the inha bitants of the surrounding neighbourhood, but seve ral. ages elapsed before this premature. love of sport was engrafted into other parts of France.' Before we find the annals of any other races, we must leap from 1350 to 1776, from Semur to Paris, from Charleal% to the Count d'Artois and the Due de Chartres. The Due de Chartres went over: .to England, . • 'where he was much taken with the English eustonis and habits, especially their method of training hors. On returning to France his Anglo-mania was so Violent that he always appeared in public in tops and leathers, and either a pink coat, or a Newmarket; his WhOe time and attention Were given •up to horses, betS, and jockeys, and the young nobles of the Court were delighted at finding this wide field of pleasure arid'excitement thrown open to them—the huge pow . kr4ii wigs, the red heels, the stuff coats and waist- OcilS were thr own as id e , an d P ar i s l oo k e d lik e a vast siti t bley ar d: On. the sth of November, 1776, a match was got npbetween th e D ue de Cha r tres and Major Bankes, .I;,itt it did not come oft On the followinq days there •„,,s, however, so me good running by Barbary and C.nnus, belonging to the Count d'Artois, Partner be a ,longing to the Due d'Chartres, Pilgrim to th e D ue it Lauzau, Nip to the Marquis de Conflaus.

A sweepstakes for forty horses in 1777, when, in 1842, either in England' or F rance, it is rarely - we sse abOve fifteen or twenty at th e start ing-post. • But behind this apparent frivolity was hid a source —France was • centuries ) ) 95 considerable rable public utility Mnd :ier neighbours in the art of improving th e breeding of horses, and the French, like other chil . &etc' , must be ainused while they are instructed. . Napoleon, in the midst of his political projects and: stupendous undertakings, ever found time to encou rage and foster this growing taste amongst the nobi lity.' In 1805 he gave prizes to be run for, and, in .L ~r 1 1806 he regenerated, on a footing. of solid magnifi cence, the Hams, or breeding establishments of the old monarchy in all their pristine splendour ; but he soon pounced upon the German horses, and brought home with him all that was worth having in Meeklen , burgh, Hesse, and Baden. Louis XVIII, notwithstanding hi s embarrass ments, . founded several - prizes. In 1819 we find Latitat, belonging , to the Comte d e N ar b onne —i n 1820, M. Reinssec s mare Enigone --in 1823, cele brated by the good running of Nell, the first tho rough-bred mare 'foaled in France—and in 1824 Lucy belonged to the Duc d'Escar3. France owes this improvement in her breed of horses principally .to the Due de Guiche, who so ably superintended these breeding establishments, and under his auspices Truffle, Milton, Taneredi, Rowiston, and Rainbow, were destined to regenerate the bastardised equine race of France, and old Cremieux brought over Tan den, the ci derant innlturn in p . arra, whose singular adventure at Ascot Must be ever fresh in the recollec tion of all sporting men. Charles X. was too fond of shooting to care much about horse-racing. The Due de Guiche, however. induced him to give some prizes, and in 1827, Vit toria, by Milton, out of Geane, added lustre to the sporting annals of his reign. In 1828, M. Delaroque, a Normandy breeder, ran his famous Zephyr, by D. I. 0., out of Hebe, and in 1829 appeared M. de Bastide's mare Vesta. In September, 1826, Lord Henry Seymour made his debut upon the I'l'ench turf. He paid forfeit to the Lady of the Lake for his horse Felix. His successes with Frank and An nette has amply repaid him for his ill-omened com mencement. At the change of dynasty in 1830 Louis Phillippe appointed M. de Strada to succeed M. de Guiche, hut the Republican nominee knew just about as much of horse-flesh as a tailor, and in a short time undid all the good that the Duke had prepared for him. The whole of his exploits consisted in the purchase of Nimrod, a great floundering coach-horse, which he bought in England for 4001., and ultimately sold in France for 400 f. (161.) Lotiis Phillippe at last got rid of M. de Strada, and presented the Haras to the Due d'Orleans, who has ap pointed M. de Cambis to be Director. This gentle man, though not so good a judge as the Duc de Guiche, is very superior to his predecessor. Under his auspices the naras has regained its lost splendour, and now contains within its precints Vittoria, Eva, Sweet lips, Margarita, Jenny Vertpre, Chevrail, and Cama rilla. The Due d'Orleans takes great interest in the rise and'progress of the establishment, and frequently passes several hours during the week in inspecting hie young proteges. NATIONAL CONVENTION, The Convention met yesterday morning at nine o'clock. Mr. Do NCAN took the chair. Several letters were ?wail from different parts of the country, expressive of confidence in the Convention. .1 resolution was proposed to draw up an address to the working classes, advising them to desist from any outbreak. Mr. BEESLEY thought that the people ought, in the present distress, to be left to their own discretion. They had been addressed too often, for they found that no good resulted. The resolution was however carried by a large majority. The Convention adjourned till to-morrow. ELECTION COMMITTEES. SOUTHAMPTON. The Committee met yesterday morning at eleven. It was expected that Mr. Fleming would have attended to have replied to the question which he declined answer ing on Tuesday, but on being called, it appeared that he had been in attendance, but had left. Thu Committee, therefore, proceeded to take the evidence of Mr. Bing ham Baring and other witnesses, and proceeded with the examination up to four o'clock. LICHFIELD. The labours. of the Committee on the Lichfield peti tion terminated yesterday, by a decision by which tho sitting Member retains his seat. ' BLACKBURN. This Committee had a termination put to its proceed ings yesterday, by the petitioner withdrawing from the contest. The Southampton is the only Committee now sitting. STATE OF TRADE. (From the Manchester Guardian.) MANCHESTER.—We regret to state that the market yesterday, instead of feeling the influence of the activity which is understood to prevail in the metropolis, was de cidedly worse than that of the preceding week. The demand for yarn was limited, and sales were made at a decline in many cases of id. to -id. per pound on previous rates. Goods were in very limited de mand, and at gradlially declining prices. As a neces sary consequence of the depressed state of the goods market, the hand-loom weavers are getting rapidly out of work ; and there have been some large meetings of the unemployed in the neighbourhood o ? Burnley, for the purpose of considering what steps can be taken to improve their condition. One of these took place on Henfield, near Accrington, on Sunday morning last. hitherto the conduct of the parties assembling has been perfectly peaceable, and we do not learn that they en tertain the slightest feeling of animosity towards their employers. ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, APRIL 113.—The flannel market is weekly growing worse, and there ap pears no prospect of any change for the better. There has scarcely been any business done to-day at any price. There has been an extremely still wool market, and manufacturers are unwilling to buy while prices con tinue on the decline. HUDDERSFIELD MARKET, APRIL 26.—The anxious tradesman has again been disappointed. A hope was indulged, that the threatened change in the American tptriff would have caused some extensive speculations, and given an impetus to exports that has been wanting so long ; but unfortunately there was little if any im provement to-day. Few heavy sales were made ; and, what is remarkable, exceedingly little was purchased for exportation ; and, without a foreign trade, it is clear the home trade cannot furnish employment in any thing. like proportion to the ample means at command. Prices are very nominal. • UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE. Ox roan, Arkin 23.—There will be an election at St. John's College on June 27, to fill three founders'-kin fellowships, candidates for which are to send their pedigrees to the President on or before June 1, and present themselves for examination on the 22d.

In a letter addressed to his constituents, lie promises to state his reasons for the conduct he has pursued in Parliament, and answer some of the charges brought against him. THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY MORNING, APRIL 28, 1842. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF COMMONS, April 27. There being only twenty-two INiembors present at four o'clock, the House adjourned till to-morrow. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC :JOURNALS. (PROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY.) STANDARD.—We have to lament that the Southampton Committee persists in a course calcu lated to attract odium to the new system of tribunals established for the trial of controverted elections—a system which, except in this case, has worked admirably. It is true that the extraordinary conduct of the Com mittee in question is merely the result of ignorance of •the first principles of law, or of indifference to the established legal rules, and that therefore it affOrds an argument against all trials by Members taken promiscuously from such a body as the House of Commons ; but the public may not look deeply into the matter, and may therefore hastily impute as a de fect in the constitution of election committees, what is really a vice inherent in the materials of M ilia com mittees must be formed, so long as they are confined to Members of the House of Commons indiscriminately taken, that is to men for whose legal knowledge there can be no sufficient guarantee. COURIER.—The strongest of all the objections, however, urged against the Copyright in Designs Bill is that propounded by the Hon. Member for Coventry, who contended that there was no such thing as origi nality in designs, and that the only thing in the shape of originality consisted in the production and reproduc tion of combinations of old patterns. If this were the case, the argument would go to prove that no protec tion either of two months or of three months, much less of nine or twelve months, was required for ensuring the prosperity of arts and manufactures; but here all the ma nufacturers, with the `solitary exception of the pirates of Manchester, are decidedly opposed to him, and al though not altogether agreed respecting the period of protection to be granted by Mr. Tennent's Bill, never theless perfectly unanimous as to the utility of some protection. Besides, even allowing Mr. Williams's doctrine, that there is no originality in designs, to be correct, and that the patterns which come out from time to time under the pretence of being original, are neither more nor less than the pro duction and re-production of old patterns under dif ferent combinations—what does that signify ? The combinations may be varied ad infinitum—improve ment in their arrangement, and in every element that constitutes originality to suit the tastes and wants of the community ; and why, we would ask, ought not the man who expends his time and his capital in such useful labour, be as much entitled to the protection of the law as he who has invented something entirely original, if indeed there be anything original either in nature or art ? Trace all the varieties of the latter to their true sources, and it will hp found that, from the blow-pipe, which melts the hardest metals, up to the steam-engine, which supersedes the labour of a thousand hands, and wafts our vessels from pole to pole, there is nothing in the shape of what is termed an invention, but an ex tended imitation and application of powers and con trivances previously in existence. We cannot, there fore, concur with him in the opinion that be cause there is in his opinion, nothing original in designs for different species of manufactures, they ought not to be protected. They have been prot e ct e d in France during a series of years, to the great bene fit of the designer and manufacturer, and why should they not be protected here also? unless, as Mr. Emer son Tennent humourously observed, it can be proved that our neighbours have been gifted with glands for the special secretion of taste in designs, with which Providence has not been pleased to endow the sons of our more northern region. • GLOBE.—There cell be no doubt that Mr. Fleming has no legal excuse whatever for refusing to answer the question that was proposed to him ; and his own avowal, that his reply could- not criminate himself, proves that. he has no pretext for his present behaviour, but such as is to be found in the very Vaglie privileges of "a man of honour and a gentleman." Is there any one that would be disgraced by the Hon. Member's reply to the question put to him ? And, if there is, would it not have been better to have thought, at the time he en tered into the transactions or negotiations which are now the subject of investigation, how far his being concerned in them might at any future period inter fere • with his feelings, or his position, as " a man of honour and a gentleman ?" The first duty every gentleman owes to society is obedience to the law. No' man need get himself in volved in matters which might cause him to have no alternative but despising the law, or making a sacrifice of honour. When the laws of honour and those of the land come into collision, one must be right and the other wrong; so that a gentleman can have very little difficulty in deciding to which he owes obedience. The only way in which Mr. Fleming can with cre dit withdraw from his present position, is by conform ing to the resolution of the House, or by being released from the obligation to answer the question that the Committee has put to him. The interrogatory is either 0.1; that it was improper to put, or to which it was wrong to refuse to answer. The only course to be pursued by men of honour and gentlemen " is, that the party which has erred shall recede at once from the ground that it has taken. The extraordi nary course adopted by Mr. Flemin g is calculated to inflict injury on innocent individuals, of the highest rank, by exciting suspicion that they would he com promised by his disclosures, were such fully and fairly made to the Committee in answer to the question which he has refused to answer. 'We have heard the name of an illustrious Duke, who, though not holding office, takes a leading part in her Majesty's councils, associated with the 500/. referred to. We give no credence to the rumour, which is, how ever, sufficiently rife to deserve notice, and to call for contradiction. , The best way of satis fying the public mind on the subject, and to rove that the nobleman referred to is free from the imputation ce,st upon his reputation by the suspicion, is for Mr. Fleming to produce the list of subscribers to this election fund : and as he asserts that the money was applied to purposes per fectly legitimate, he will neither criminate himself nor implicate others by his evidence ; while to persist in refusing to answer the question as to the parties who supplied this money, he will fasten suspicion on him self, and, as we have shown, on persons of the highest rank, probably wholly unconnected with the tran saction. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, April 27. The Lord Chancellor sat in Lincoln's Inn Hall to-day. JUDGMENT.--PASCAT.L V. SCOTT. The Loan CHANCELLOR gave judgment to-day in this case which was argued a few days since before the Court, upon an appeal from the decision of his Honour the Vice-Chancellor of England. The only question in the case was, as to whether certain depositions taken in the cross cause, the matters on which related only to the original cause, should be suppressed or not. The Vice-Chancellor of England was clearly of opinion that the depositions ought to be suppressed, and gave judgment accordingly ; and from that decision the present appeal was brought. His Lordship, after going at some length into the facts of the case, and the circumstances under which the depo sitions were taken, stated his opinion to be, that the judgment in the Court below was correct, and ordered it to be affirmed with costs. • THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. THE CORTORATION OF LUDLOW. Mr. WaAY resumed his arguments in this appeal petition, following Sir Charles Wetherall. The me came before e the Court on Saturday, upon a petition to discharge an older pro nounced by the Vice-Chancellor, by which he confirmed the Report of the Master, approving of the exchange of certain charity lands for lands belonging to the Corporation of Ludlow. The arguments not having concluded when the Court rose, the further consideration of the case wa s a dj ourne d till Saturday, the Lord Chancellor having to sit to morrow, and, this day, and Friday in the House of Lords to hear appeals. VICE-CHANCELLORS' CO UR T, April 27. ( Before the VICE.CHANC ELLOR of ENGLAND. ) His Horrou R, the Vice-Chancellor of England, was engaged the whole mot-Ling with hearing cause petitions of no general interest. ( Before Vice-Chancellor W.to RA M. ) HARVEY V. DOUSPIZI.D. His HONOU R, in giving judgment in this case, said the question which he bad reserved for decision was purely a ques tion of fact. The plaintiff in the case alleged that he had advanced a sum of money to his son, in order to enable him to complete the purchase of an estate, of which the principal de fendant was a mortgagee ; and that he made that advance upon terms of its being secured upon the estate in preference to the mortgage of Wood, who was a second mortgagee of the estate. His iotention, when he reserved his judgment upon this point, was, that in ease he should doubt the testimony of the witnesses he would give Wood the benefit of an issue, to try whether the money had been advanced without any stipulations. Upon looking over the evidence, he saw no reason to doubt that the father had stipulated for the security. He must therefore make his decree in this case in favour of the plaintiff. that this box was a tenement held by Miss Burdett Coutts, under le:zL6e from the proprietors was a point which he thought, eouldnot be disputed, and if so, under the provisions or the local Act' she was clearly liable to bo rated. Mr. C1113113E10 followed on the- same side, and con tended that under the provisions of the local Act it was by no means clear that lodgers occupying rooms in a house in which the landlord did not reside, were not separately rateable. Lord DEN3IIN said, it was a new point involving very extensive consequenc:s ; 'that the Court would consider before delivering its judgment. POLICE INT tf..S4IGENCE. 13r,v1-,:;TREI;T. Tuesday Nicholas Suisse, the valet to the late Marc,uis of Hertford, who ti,:s undergone several eX3, It nations at this Court on a charge oc emtJezzling nearly 8,0001., the property of His late master, and avh was reminded for a week, was again brought before Mr. Jardine. Mr. C. Phillips and Mr. Bodkin, together with Mr. nobler, again attended for the prosecution; and :Messrs. Clarkson and James, with Mr. Flower, for the defence _ _ Mr. C. Phillips said he bad apprised Mr. Jardine that a gentleman had been sent to Paris by Mr. Hobler, for the pur pose of collecting evidence, whose mission, he was happy to say, had been quite successful. Mr. Jardine would remember that a letter was found on the person of the prisoner by In spector Partridge, which, at the time, was not deemed impor tant. Owing to the sagacity of Mr. Croker, the meaning of this letter had been discovered, and that gentleman had fur nished a translation. It would turn out that after the death of the Marquis of Hertford a person of the name of Cailliez, whose name had transpired before during this investigation, came over to England from Paris. He !xis furnished with documents, called "inscriptions," to a large amount, by the prisoner. These inscriptions would produce 1,200/. a year, and would sell in the market for between 27,000/. and 28,00i 1 /. The letter wra directed to M. Cailliez, and it was quite mar.i fest that it related to the inscriptions in question. Mr. Jar dine, he dared to say, was aware that, attached to the inscrip tions were certain coupons, which being cut off' are used as hank notes. M. Cailliez, on his arrival in London, received the inscriptions from M. Suisse, and took them back to Paris, and lodged them in the hands of his own brother, an eminent banker. M. Suisse subsequently wrote to have them altered from being payable to the barer, and have them made pay able to him (Suisse). It tui tied out that this was impossible, as several of the coupons were lost, and could not be accounted for. And by the French low no inscription could be altered from the name of bearer, unless the coupons could be accounted for in a satisfactory manner. After reading the letter he pro ceeded to call Mr. Branon Cailliez, who said—l reside in Paris. lam a hotel-keeper. I have been acquainted with Suisse for the last ten or eleven years. In the month of March, about the 12th or 13th, 1 came to London, accompanied by a son of the pri soner, at whose (the son's) instance I came. He is about twenty-three 3elrs of age. I found M. Suisse at the late Marquis of Hertford's house. I remained in London ten days. The day I went away I received from the prisoner six in scriptions of 5,000 francs each, annually, of French renter. He said they were payable to the bearer. and he wished to have them transferred to his own name I have a brother a banker, in partnership with a M. De Back. I did not take notice at the time of the numbers, but I have since taken them down ; they are 335, 336. 337, 338. 340, and 341. I delivered them to Cailliez and De Back immediately on my arrival in Paris. By Mr. Clarkson—l got the numbers which I have named from ?Messrs. Cailliez and De Rick. It is very common to transfer the French rentes from the name of the bearer to the name of any particular person. In addition to the inscriptions 1 took over 58 coupons for 44,250 francs. Thomas Chumley examined—l live at No. 2, Gloucester place, Camden-town. lam a clerk to Mr. Hopkinson, the banker. I have seen the late Marquis of Hertford write. The writing in the pocket-book now before me is his, to the best of my belief. I find an entry of inscriptions of the Five per Cent. Rentes, from 335 to 341 consecutively, except 339. It is written in ink. By Mr. Clarkson—The whole of the pa'-e i 3 in the late Marquis's hand-writing. Ile was constantly in the habit of drawing cheques for very large sums. I should say he drew to the amount of about 30,000 t. or 40,000/. annually, on our house alone. The transactions at our house were only concern ing his private affairs. I have seen Suisse receiving the money for the. cheques. A tier some conversation between Counsel, 11Ir. JA tint Pa E said, if the charge which was stated on Tues. thy last had been the only one preferred against the prisoner to-day, he should certainly have discharged him. But as an. other and a more serious one was brought against him, which was deserving of the strictest investigation, and was much too heav' to permit of his being at large, he should remand him this time for a fortnight. A big stout woman, with a baby in her arms, was charged with the following. assault " Gentlemen," said the prosecutrix, a buxom little widow who still wore the sombre weeds in recollection of the departed one, " she cum to me place, she interrupted me lodgers, and used bad language all she could ; I begged and prayed of her to go out, howsomdever stead of, she makes no more ado, but drags me irdo the kennel by the hair of the head and ill uses me." William Neale deposed, " I was in my landlady's place, she cum in and abuses a lodger of my landlady's, my landlady orders her away from the door ; says she, ' I shan't go. ' wanted to put her away, but she shoves past me, while she cutched hold of my landlady by the hair of the head ; 1 then got her away from my landlady, which she bit my hand, and a gain to the station-house she threatened as she'd get me done for by some pals o' hers out o' the Dial:, which she lives there, gentlemen." _ The prisoner, who spoke in a rapid tone of voice, and who was evidently a most powerful virago, said that she went to see the father of her bobby, who lived in the complainant's house. The complainant struck her first. Complainant denied this allegation. Mr. TWVFORD ( to complainirnt )—What do you wish me to cb with this prisoner? Complainant—Why, gentlemen, I don't want her to come near me no more. There's me cap that went into the kennel, and likewise anystlf. Mr. Tw YFoan—Well, I must convict her at once. The prisoner was ordered to pay a fine of 10s. to the Queen, or go to prison for seven days. Samuel Wilks, alias 't Flash Sam," was placed at the bar on the following charge :—Police sergeant, No. Hi. of the C di vision, stated that the prisoner had for a considerable time been known to the police as a suspected character ; he was in the habit of nightly prowling about the Haymarket, at times driving a cab, as a " buck," when the licen-ed driver was either too drunk or indolent to do so. On such occasions he sometimes was hired by " a gentleman overtaken in liquor." About three o'clock yesterday morning witness saw prisoner with another " buck" endeavouring to induce an individual whose dress and appearance bespoke respectability, but who was ex tremely intoxicated, to enter a cab, the prisoner offering to drive the gentleman safely home. Witness seeing that the party had a diamond brooch-pin, finger-ring, and a splendid watch and gnard-chain about him, interfered and sent a pOlice. constable home sith the gentleman to his residence at the west-end of the town, and it appears that he had between 200/. and 3001. in his pockets, in Bank of England notes and sovereigns. So totally unconscious was he of what he was doing that he pressed wit ess to accept his watch, as a reward for his taking care of him. On the pri soner finding his object of plunder defeated, he abused wit ness in a very gross manner, and made use of obsecne lan gua.2e, watch, on being conveyed to the station-house, he re peated. The prisoner said the gentleman was a school-fellow of his, and the police had no right to interfere. His " friend had stood six bottles of sherry since half-past one o'clock," and why shouldn't they be comfortable together? Mr. HARDWICK sail that he would never allow the use of obscene languve in the public streets to pass unpunished while he had the power to do so. He should therefore fine the prisoner 405., and, in default of payment, commit him for one month. The prisoner not having the amount of the fine, was loeked up. IVORS'HIP-S'TREE7'. UNFOUNDED CHA RG E. William Henry Goodwin, a tobacconist, carrying on business in Red Lion•'street, Clerken well, was placed at the bar upon a charge of having stolen a ring, value 155., the property of Mr. Wells, landlord of The Prince of NI ales public-house, Banner.street, St. Luke's. It appeared that the parties had been drinking together at different public houses uutil they both became intoxicated, and they were about to take leave of each other when the com plainant missed the ring off his finger, and charged the de fendant with having stolen it, and, notwithstanding his protes tation to the contrary, he gave him into custody. The ring was found in the road some timo afterwards, by a sergeant of the G division. The defendant complained bitterly of the scandalous manner in which he had been treated by the complainant, with whom he had been some time intimate, and who was well aware that he was incapable of such an action. Mr. BROUGHTON immediately_ dismissed the charge, and advised the defendant to commence an action against his ac cuser for false imprisonnient. SINGULAR DELUSION.—Tuesday an inquisition was taken before Mr. Baker, at the Horn of Plenty, Globe road, Mile-end, on the body of Mr. Thomas Baynham, aged thirty, au upholsterer and house agent, in an extensive way of business, %%those death took place under the following very singular circumstances :—Sarah Baynham said, the deceased was her brother. He was very eccentric in his habits, and had been ailing for some time, in consequence of his refusal to take sufficien‘anurishment. He laboured under a strong de lusion that abst nence from food would prolong his life, and, in order that he should not eat too much, was in the constant habit of weighing all he ate, which including meat, he would not allow to exceed 1 oz. per diem. He eras first induced to pursue this course about three months back, and persevered in doing so, although Dr. Gossett told him he did not take sufficient nourishment. He took long walks, and frequently returned home quite exhausted. On Thursday evening last he returned home quite overcome, and talked very wildly. He went to bed, and on the following morning he ap peared raving mad, in which state he continued till , eight o'clock the same evening; when he expired. Mr. Storey, surgeon, said he was called in on Thursday night to see de ceased. lie found him in bed quite insane. He appeared dreadfully emaciated. His pulse was very low, and he was evidently suffering from congestion. 'He ordered him beef tea and wine, but he never rallied. From what he had heard he had no doubt that the deceased died of natural causes from exhaustion produced from the absence of projier food and nourishment. The want of food would produce madness. Verdict—. Died from natural causes of exhaustion from want of sufficient food." The will of M. Aguado wog opened on Friday, in the presence of M. Debelleyme, President of the Civil Tri bunal. A courier has been sent off to Florence, with intelli gence of the event to the deceased's eldest son, who is residing there. The following particular's relative to M. Aguado are collected from the Madrid journals, and the Mode, Paris journal :—"M. Aguado did not die of fatigue, as has been re ported. Far from that, after the long walk which he was obliged to make, his secretary, who accompanied him, wrote to Madame Aguado: ' Your husband is of iron. He has put us all to shame by his exertions.' On his arrival at Gijon, he was in good health, and although no devotee, aqc,ed for the church. He entered it, and remained kneeling for two or three minutes. He then examined the altar and chapels, and, seeing them but meanly decorated, said to the person who was with him, Remind me of the poverty of this church.' On his return to the hotel, he read several letters, which were wait ing for him, and, after having done so, sat down to dinner. It was then that the sudden change in his appearance was per ceived. His physician was struck with it, and inquired what was the matter. have something strange passing here,' said he, pointing to his head. He was immediately bled, but all aid was ineffectual. His stay at Oviedo was marked by va• rious acts of benevolence. He gave to the hospital of that town 1,500 reats, and promised to give each year the charcoal required for the establishment, amounting to 6000 reals. ' Ile gave 50 piastres to the convent of nuns at Oviedo, and had an intention of converting another convent, now abandoned, intp a manufactory, which would have employed a great number of hands. M. Aguado's only companions on his journey were, his physician, M. Mignaud, and M. Segovia." The International Shipwreck Society has awarded an honorary medal, with a diploma of Sauveteur to Mlle. A. Dalbarate of Biarritz, near Bayonne. In the winter of 1839, a dreadful tempest broke over Biarritz, and the Zoe lighter of Nantes was dashed on the rocks with terrible force. A crowd collected on the shore, but no person would venture to the relief of the sailors, who were clinging to the sinking ves sel. Vtihat no man would risk attempting, a weak woman boldly undertook. She seized a rope, threw herself into the raging sea, and, after numerous, failures, at last succeeded in swimming to the vessel. At the moment of her arrival, the captain, who was holding on, found his strength give way, and fell into the sea. She caught him as he rose to the surficf, and bore him to land before life was extinct. Such conduct in a man would have beer► admirable, but in a woman it was sublime. The New Zurich Gazette announces that the po•• lice-commission of Lucerr.e has ordered that the guillotice which was purchased by the late Government, and had never been used, shall be broken to pieces. ?ItICES OF CAN AL, OiP li t - i.. , A - SSC AN'C R, CY, 0 p A r.-; y sli A R.: R :••• . ci e .

Mr. Mo:: - ,-an's inr7titution appears to be a nutu lli result ari,ing from the combination of various systeuri which, existing at the present time in England, but a disconnected state, seem needf u l or .l y t o be:a ll ,.„'l concentrated and joined, to form the harmonious rm he has projected, and under which he propose s , rear and bring up the generations and fam of men. Practical, rather than theoretic, in - views, Mr. Morgan appears to believe that the ele ments of good, and the rudiments of institutive virtu e are nowhere more l arge ly t o h e f oun d th an in W ls country, and at this day ; an d w hil e h e h a s busie d himself in selecting these alone, to form the foi l. pillars of his own fabric, he has totally discarded th e perverse and obnoxious features which so obviously ti e i mixed up with, and defa ce man y o f th ese .

PEEL'S RE4SONS FOR Isl o/ - 1$ TAXES.

This, though it comes rather '''snle a right enough; but let it not h e f orgo tt en , a t the c o time, that it collies from the disciple of the rner l ,,g• _first, to carry on an unjust war against the.ir the ties of France, and th en a necessar y o ne ailt ig t iy; giant that sprung out of the injustice, resorted to miserable device" to the extent of some four hunw: 4 . millions, and who, within the first two years of pear i borrowed some fifty millions more—a last sum, by the way, to m a k e plod the very Inca tax which oven a Tory House of Commons tho a r toobad to be reimpose s . portion of TP, of r ei Sir R. Peel's conclusive proof that the limits ation on articles of c o nsumption have been reaer:, amounts to this,—that the attempt of the late Cl . ln cellor of the Exchequer to rise a revenue of aD v o i, 1,900,000/. from articles of consumption, by ditional duty of five per eent, produced little I than 200,060/. An honest statesman' of tolerable courage have h - ,ld a very different language. He would bye said that 11 deficiency of 2,400,060/. was but a tr o y to a great and powerful nation of eight-and- 4 10 millions of people, if the s p r i ngs of their 10 1 l tia? were relieved.

In this case the parish officers of St. Martin's-in-the - Fields had made a rate, in which the Committee and Proprietors of the Theatre Royal Drury Lane were rated at 1,800/. for the theatre, and Miss Angola Burdett Coutts was rated at 100/. for a private box in the said theatre. Miss Coutts appealed against the rate on the ground that her private box was included in the general rate of the theatre, and the Court of Quarter Sessions quashed the rate, subject to the opinion of this Court on the case. Mr. CLARKSON and Mr. BODKIN, who appeared in sup port of the order of Sessions, contended that the parish officers having rated the theatre as a whole, could not rate a portion of it twice over by rating Miss Coutts for her private box. She was merely possessed of the privilege of sitting in a particular part of the theatre, in the same manner as a person holding a pew in a chapel merely possessed a right of sitting in a particular part of the and was not rateable in consequence, the occupier or possessor of the whole chapel being the only person liable to be rated. Miss Burdett Coutts was in the posi tion of a lodger, who was clearly not rateable. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL, in support of the rate, COT:- tended that, under the provisions of the local Act, every person holding any property, land, h ouse - tenement or hereditament, within the parish, was liable to.bv rated ; ATTENDANCE OF COiJNSEL, At the conclusion of this case, Mr. KELLY applied to the Court to permit him to argue a case, which the Court had disposed of in the early part of the morning, without argument, in conse quence of the non-attendance of Counsel to represent Mr. Kelly's clients. The Learned Gentleman stated, that at the time the case was called on, he was engaged in the Court of Exchequer. Lord DENmAN—We cannot help that ; you should have been here. The Court always endeavours to ac commodate Counsel if it can, and if anything of this sort cccurs, it always is because Counsel do not seek to ac commodate the Court. , Mr. KELLY said, his brief had not been delivered to him until 12 o'clock,in consequence of some mistake on the part of his clerk. Lord DENMAN—Is that any mason why the Court should interfere ? It was a. piece of very gross negligence. Mr. KELLY—BO, my Lord, my clients will suffer very great injustice. Lord DENNAN—Not from the Court. Mr. KELLY—Really, ray Lord, I feel that my clients, through no fault of their own, will suffer great injustice. Lord DENMAN—I agree with you there, but it is not from the Court that they. suffer injustice, The case was called on the first in the day, and no one appeared for your .clients. Was no other gentleman with you ? Mr. KELLY—Yes, my Lord, Mr. Thomas, but he was not instructed to argue. Lord DENMAN—fIe should have been here then to have explained where you were. Do you not think you have said quite enough on the subject, Mr. Kelly ? Mr. KELLY. — Really, my Lord, I feel that the wrong done to my client is irremediable. Mr. Justice PATTEsos.—You should have been here. This Court is not to be kept waiting, because gentlemen choose to practice in two or three Courts at once. You will learn, by and by, I suppose, to practise only in one Court. The conrse we h av e dopted in this case, we have adopted in several other cases during the present term, and we shall adopt in every case under similar circumstances. The matter then dropped, the Court refusing to enter tain Mr. Kelly's application. The Court was engaged the whole morning in hearing argu ments in cases in the Crown Paper, none of which were of any public interest. The greater number of them were cases of disputed settlements of paupers. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, April 27. Lord Abinger took his seat on the bench this morning, for the first time during the present term. JONES V. GOODY. This was an action of trespass tried before Chie Justice Tindal, at the last assizes for the county of Suffolk. The verdict was for the p'aintiff, with 51., the cost of the suit, subject to the opinion of the Court in the case. The defendant was one of the Commissioners of cleansing and paving for the borough of Sudbury. In pur suance of an order from some of his colleagues, communicated to him through tLe clerk, he proceeded to widen a drain in the suburbs of the borough ; and in doing so, he cut off part of a field, the property of the plaintiff. This was the ground of the action which the plaintiff brought. The main question in dis pute was, whether the defendant could plead, in his defence, the statute which protects a public officer, who. while he has misfaken his duty, has acted, as he imagines, in the discharge of his office. Mr. KELLY contended that the defendant could not plead the statute, on the ground that he had not been legally em powered to act at all on the occasion, inasmuch as he had not received an order from five of the Commissioners in the first instance, as the law required. The Learned Gentleman fur ther contended, that a tender of 101. which had been made to the plaintiff, on condition that lie stayed the action, should be paid into Court. The Cottax was of opinion that the defendant was protected by the statute, inasmuch as be was a public officer, and as he had reason to believe that he was only acting in the discharge of his duty. The Learned Judges did not think that the tender of 10/. should be paid into Court, as the plaintiff had refused it, and bad preferred to bring the action. COURT OF 'COMMON • PLEAS, April 27. CALLENlilift V. DITRICII. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, an English merchant, against the defendant, a Prussian merchant, for the sum of 7001. 10s, which he had paid him on a contract that the defendant should supply him with a cargo of Prussian tares, in good condition and well shipped. On their arrival here from Konigsberg, they were! found to be in bad condition, and to have not been carefully shipped. Upon this plaintiff brought his action in Konigsbe-g, for breach of contract, and the Prussian Court decided against his claim, on the ground that he had brought it too late. Plaintiff and defendant being both residents in London, the plaintiff brought a new action, which was tried in this Court at the sittings in London. when a verdict was biken for the plaintiff, subject to the decision of the Court as to how far, in the peculiar circumstances, the Prussian judgment excluded this Court. air. Sergeant BOMPAS accordingly Obtained a role nisi to enter a verdict for the defendant. Against this rule Mr. Sergeant CIIANNELL showed cause. The Learned SERGEANT contended that the matters sub mitted to the Prussian tribunal were not the same causes of ac tion as were laid in ►he declaration • here. The judgment in Konnigsberg related only to the manner of shipment, and ex elu,led altogether the consideration of the contract as to the quality of the tares, and the condition in which they were to be delivered. The contract was made in England, and both the par ties resided in England. lf, however, the judgment of the for sign Court, to which the plaintiff had chosen to apply in the first instance, (and which was put in upon the trial here) had re iated to the causes of action, upon which the plaintiff sued in in this Court, that judgment might estuppe this actin.; ; but it was not so, the quality and condition of the tares at the time of delivery were wholly overlooked, and judgment was given only on the ground of lapse of time. Further, this action was to be considered as one for the recovery of money paid, and for which the consideration had not been received. Mr. Sergeant Bomeas in reply, contended that the copy of the Prussian judgment, produced at the trial, mast be taken as conclusive; the Court had the whole case before it, and had decided that the plaintiff was excluded by their law from re covering upon any part of his contract; and in that view it must be admitted, upon all the authorities, that a person having appealed to a foreign tribunal, upon a matter which came within its jurisdiction, and having had its judgment against him, could not sue again upon the same matters in the Courts of England. The Coo fa were of opinion that on the face of the judgmetst it was not sufficiently clear that it related specifically to the same matters and shings upon which the plaintiff sued here. It was not possible, without parole or other evidence of the pre vious proceedings, that the Court could receive it as applying to and determining the issues in this action. The verdict there fore must be entered for the plaintiff. BAIL COURT, April 27. LAMBERT V. LEVER. This was an action to obtain compensation for injury sustained by the plaintiff from the defendant. Mr. JONES stated the case. The plaintiff and defend ant were both travelling on the Dog-road, which goes under the Eastern Counties Railway, and the plaintiff's horse, which he had bought on the day the accident took place, took fright under the arch of the railway, and struck the cart of the plaintiff, which he upset. The plaintiff's horse then ran away, and broke the traces and received injuries. Mr. Lever after the accident said that he would be willing to pay Mr. Lambert for any loss he sustained, but when they came to agree, in some days after, the plaintiff would not take less than 171. or lit, and the defendant would not give so much. Several witnesses were called, who proved the acci dent, and the loss sustained by the plaintiff. Mr. 'ruom.ts addressed the Jury for the defendant.

This was an action to recover compensation in da mages from the defendants for breaking open the plain tiff's desk, to which the defendants pleaded not guilty, and that the property did, not belong to the plaintiff: It appeared from the evidence that Mr. Lucas and Mr. Cox, one of the defendants, were joint proprietors of the tablet newspaper, a journal advocating Roman Catholic principles, and published at No. 3, Brydges street, Covent-garden, and that the plaintiff was engaged as publisher, at a salary of two guineas, and was allow id at the same time to carry on a private business of his own in disposing of newspapers and pe riodicals ; and that he had a desk at the office of the Tablet, in which were contained papers and books re lating to his private business. Some disagreement arose between Mr. Lucas and Mr. Cox, in the month of No vember, and on Mr. Cox asking to see some accounts relative to the business of the paper, he was refused, un less Mr. Lucas and his solicitor were also pre sent. Mr. Cox then, with Mr. Innis, his attorney, and some other persons, entered the establishment of the Tablet by means of a ladder, at two o'clock in the morn ing of the 25th of February, and brake open the desk and took away some of the papers and books which were contained in it having the names of subscribers to the Tablet, and the names of two persons in India, to whom the Orthodox Journal, the Catholi; Magazine, and the Dullin Review, were 'sent. Mr. Dismore, the plaintiff; applied fur those books through his attorney, alleging that he was put to great inconvenience in consequence of not having them, to which no reply was made, and the present action was therefore brought.

MAIL PACKET STATIONS. — (From a Correspon dent).— Great dissatisfaction appears to prevail in the mercan tile world on the subject of foreign correspondence through the medium of the packets which now take on board the mails at Falmouth. The public, however, appear. to have forgotten that an Admiral (Sir James Gordon), an Elder Brother of the Trinity Hattie (Captain Drew), and a Secretary of the Post office (Thomas Lawrence, Esq. ), were, about two years since, directed by an Admiralty order to survey the coast, and report the most favourable place for enbarking and landing the mails. It was their opinion that Dartmouth was, in all respects, the most desir4ble port ; and all the inconveniences so greatly complained of will be removed by adopting their recommen dation. , i Subs ( "irnat street mreet; taittle—r( Inn-fieb Al• teth, is . it% Req. teal ee , tindon' ( Urns, k really itlblie ai Table SI size, pt Desert di ~lea ditto v di '' Attic] te e ..
