His LORDSHIP took kis seat at ten o'clock, and was engaged nearly the whole day in hearing a part heard cause of Calvert v. Godfrey. ROLLS' COURT, Feb. 8. GARDNLA V. M'CUICHEN. This case was opened by Mr. Pemberton on the last day of Ililary Jena. The bill alleged that the defendant had been em ployed by the plaintiffs as captain of a vessel trading to China and the East Indies; that as such it was dis duty to trade solely on the partnership account, but that he had used the ship to trade on his own account, and had applied the profits of such trading to his own use. The bill prayed an account against the defendant. The defendant, in his answer, stated that the ship was always in ballast when he had traded for himself, that he had never traded to the injury of his employers, and that he had only done what was the constant practice of captains of vessels who were placed in similar circumstances. Mr. SPENCE addressed the Court to-day at great length for the defendant. The Learned Counsel had not concluded when we went to press. VICE-CHANCELLORS' COURT, Feb. 8 (Before the VICE-CHANCELLOR of ENGLAND.) His HONOUR was engaged during the day in hearing motions, none of which possessed any general interest. (Before Vice-iThancellor WIGRAX.) SALHELD V. JOHNSON. His HONOUR pronounced judgmen tin this cause. The plaintiff was the Vicar of a parish in the county of Cumberland, of which parish the Bishop of Carlisle was the Rector. The defendants; excepting the Bishop of Carlisle, were the occupiers of land within the parish, and the bill prayed an account of turnips, rye.grass, clover_ grass, and all other grasses not included in great tithes. A great part of the plaintiff's case rested upon Lord Tenterden's Act, and his Honour decided that in that respect the Vicar had failed to esta blish his claim. The Rector had put in a disclaimer, and the tithes being due to some one, he felt himself at liberty to use that dis. claimer, so far as to give the plaintiff the particular tithes which were claimed by the bill; but he could not give effect to the dis. claimer as proving the plaintiff's title to other tithes, for that would be to read the answer of one defendant as against a co defendant. 'Whatever private opinion he might entertain as to the Vicar's right in this case, he thought he should be going further than the Court had hitherto gone, it on the face of the terriers, and under the circumstances of the case, he were to hold the Vicar's title established upon the evidence before him, unless he were to give effect to the Rector's declaimer in aid of the occupier. The plaintiff, therefore, might in this case take a decree for the particular tithes, without costs; unless, for the pur pose of establishing his right, he thought fit to take an issue. After some discussion at the Bar with respect to the issue, it was arranged by Counsel that the case should be mentioned at a future day. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Feb. 8. SEW EL V. NIX ♦ND ANOTHER. The plaintiff is an attorney and clerk to the Board of Guardians of Weichesden, in Cambridgeshire, and the defendants are the overseers. This action was brought to recover the amount of a bill of costs for legal business done by direction of the Guardians. The defence was, first, that the defendants were not liable for the order of the Guardians; secondly, that they had not consented to the proceedings for which the claim was made; and, thirdly, that in any case the plaintiff was not entitled, inasmuch as the business was unskilfully done, and without any advantage. The principa) items in the bill were charges fur travelling and other expenses in endeavouring to compel a person at Gainsborough, one hundred miles off, to support his mother, who was in the workhouse at Welchesden. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE suggested that the case had better be referred, so that both parties might be examined before the a•bi trators, by which means the truth would be better got at, than by a trial in open Court. Mr. JARVIS for the plaintiff having expressed his readiness to take that course, Mr. HUNPIIREY consented to a verdict, subject to a reference COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Feb. 8. PERRY V. MITCHELL. This was an action brought by Mr. Perry, the celebrated steel.. pen manufacturer, against the defendant, for imitations of certain pens for which the plaintiff had taken out patents. The Attorney-General, Mr. Statners, and Mr. Montague Smith, appeared for the plaintiff ; and Messrs. Kelly, Jervis, and Beckett, for the defendant. It appeared from the opening speech of the Attorney-General, that Mr. Perry look out a patent, in 1832, for seven kinds of pens, all formed for the purpose of rendering steel pens more flexible than any that had before been manufactured. In the year 1833 he took lout another patent, for what he called the " Fountain Pen," which was formed with a view to retain in the nib a greater guritity 'of ink. Of the same species of pens for which he ob tained a patent in 18:32, the most esteemed was that numbered 2; that pen and the " Fountain pen" had been imitated by the de fendant, a steel-pen manutacturer, at Manchester, and the present action was brought in consequence. James Cocking stated that be was a mechanical draughtsman at Birmingham. In the month of July, 1840, he went to Mr. Mitchell's in that town, and ordered a general assortment of steel pens. He received some of them, but not all the sorts he had be. spoke. He went again, and ordered a further assortment. The order was complied with ; and among those he received were cer tain pens, which he would produce.. (The witness here handed' in samples of pens, which were of the description the plaintiff com plained of as an infringement of his patent.) Cross.examined by Mr. KELLY—Witness had been a mechanical draughtsman for the last three or four years. He had known Mr. Perry's patent since that time ; but not previously. The variety of forms of steel. pens is very great. Abednigo Follett stated that he had been for the last twelve years clerk to the plaintiff. There is a great demand all over the world for the patent pens of Mr. Perry. The plaintiff had first taken out a patent in the year 1831 ; and he afterwards took out patents in 1832 and 1833; the latter patents being im provements en the former. The patent of 1831 consisted merely in a hole at the end of the slit, and by the subsequent improve. ments slits were cut under the shoulder of the pens. The plaintiff employed five or six travellers in his business. The patent of 1833 was taken out for the "Fountain Pen," which was formed for the purpose of containing a reserve of ink. Cross-examined by Mr. JERVIS—There had been a large de. mand for the " fountain pen ;" but it has somewhat fallen away for the last two or three years. It consists in attaching a plate over the hollow of the pen, for keeping the ink suspended. There are three modifications of the " fountain pen." Re-examined by the ATTORNEY-GENERAL—A greater number of the pens No. 2 had been sold than of any other pens ever manu factured. They are sold at the rate of nine for 2s. ; and there are sometimes .1001. worth, or 36,000 pens sold in a week. Thomas Daft stated that he was a mechanic at Manchester. He was the inventor of the " patent Perryan ink stand." Witness considered Mr. Perry's patent pens a great improvement on the or. dinary metallic pen. The pens of Mr. Mitchell's shown to wit. ness were similar in form to those of Mr. Perry. Mr. Minair, the well-known artist in pen and ink drawing, being examined, stated that until the Perryian pen was produced under the present patent, he never met with any steel pen which he could use in his peculiar art. Before that he was obliged to use crow quills, which could not be made by many degrees so good as Perry's pen. Ile had tried all the other naetalic pens he knew of, but it was not to use but to reject them. Some beautiful specimens of Mr. Minair's work with the pen in question were handed to the Court, and the Jury, examined them through a magnifying glass, and seemed to express to each other considerable admiration of the excellence of the work. Mr. Carter, a civil engineer, and several other witnesses con. netted with the business of metallic pen -making, were called to move the superiority of Perry's pens above all others, and the imi• tations of them in those made by the defendant. Mr. Kett r, for the defendant, argued at great length, that the patent was void, in consequence of vagueness and generality in the specification, from which he contended no person could be able to make the article wit,,,tit .experiments ; and, further, that the int. THE StIN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1842. provement claimed by the plaintiff, was not a subject for a patent, as his principal peculiarity, the employment of slits and holes to give flexibility, was resorted to in various forms before the plaintiff', and it would be'impossible to describe a new variation of form or direction in so small a space. The COURT reserved these points, his Lordship, however, ex pressing his opinion as unfavourable to the objections. Stephen Mann, of Birmingham, Richard Tanner, of 63, Judd-street, arid several other pen-makers, were called for the defendant, and positively swore that pens upon the same prin ciple, and with similar slits and holes as those called Perryian, were in use before the date of the plaintiff's patent. Mr. Staunton, of the Strand, stationer, gave similar evi dence, and produced a three-slit gold pen, which he had had forty years; and others of similar formation, which he had had thirty and twenty years. Other witnesses, amongst whom was Professor Ure, gave evidence to show that there was no such improvement in the pens of the plaintiff, as to entitle him to a patent. The LORD CHIEF Bertox having summed up with great minuteness, the Jury retired at seven o'clock, and returned a verdict for the defendant on both pleas. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Feb. 8. nor in England before the examination before the Magistrate. In no part of England. Never met him at Dulwich. Had spent about eight or nine months on the Continent before her marriage. Has never by letter or otherwise received presents from the prisoner within the last 'two years. Never received a ring with a ruby. There are proceedings going on in the Ecclesiastical Court. Re-examined by Mr. BODKIN. -At the time alluded to, seven years ago, she lost one of her children. Since her ar rival in England her health had been very indifferent, and she had resided at the house of her brother, the Head Master of St, Paul's. Remained there till the 31st of December ' from the Bth of the same month. During the whole of that time she was so ill that she never stirred out. When she left she went to her father. On the sth of July she went to a friend of her father's in Surrey, and remained till the 17th of January. From the Bth of December to the 17th of January she never came to London. After the 17th re mained at her father's, and was there now. This being the case for the prosecution, 11.1 r. CHA RNOCK took an objection to the form of the indict ment, which stated the offence was committed in the fifth year of our Sovereign Lady Victoria. He contended that that phrase might mean the sth year of the age of the Sovereign. The RECORDER said she was not Queen then. A clause in the Act said that the term was " reign," which would not pre vent judgment being taken upon the indictment. Sir. Cita issoce . then took a variety of other objections, as to the place described in the indictment and the person. The indictment .tatcd that the street was Portland-place, and the person one Mr. Snow; now there were many Portland-placoc s and many Sir. Snows. The RECORDER said the objection could not stand, as the prisoner had used the words, and those were the words which must be introduced in the indictment. These words were used for the purpose of deceiving, and they had had that effect. Mr. CHARNOCK then addressed the Jury for the prisoner, contending that the amounts advanced by the prosecutor to the prisoner were only loans to be repaid. Sir. PHILLIPS replied, in a most humourous speech, which created roars of laughter, and The RECORDER having summed up the evidence, the Jury returned a verdict of Guilty, and the prisoner was sentenced to seven years' transportation. This was the last case in the calendar, and occupied the Court upwards of five hours. NEW WORK BY MRS. TROLLOPE, Nearly ready, in 3 vols., post Bvo. T HE WARD OF THORPE COMBE. A NOVEL.

The public may, therefore, rest confidently assured that no possible exer tion shall be wanting to produce such novelty, variety, and attraction, as to render this Theatre still more pre-eminent, if possible, in its position than ever the reiterated acknowledg ments of the public already so flatteringly pronounced it.

After consulting her Consort, and seeing that COSTA CABRAL was not in a condition to assist her, should a rising of the populace take place ; finding, moreover, that a majority of the Deputies and Senators were not prepared to adopt a course which was likely to embroil Portugal in a war with Spain, her Most Faithful MAJESTY consented to issue the following Proclama tion " Portuguese!—There are persons who seek to delude you, and, by falsely invoking my name, to drag you on to rebellious move.' ments, which, in contempt of the laws, and flagrant ♦iolation of the Constitution, sworn to by me, will, besides affecting the stabi. lity of the fundamental law, place the throne and the public liber ties in the most imminent peril. . - " Portuguese !—Your prosperity is the object of my utmost soli citude. I repute legal liberty to be the safest guarantee of my Crown. But neither can liberty nor the Crown subsist, nor can the national independence be maintained, by the needless use of revolutionary means to change the institutions which can be legally altered whenever it may be found expedient to do so. " Portuguese !—I have confidence in your loyalty and in the affection you profess to my person. Listen to the voice of your Queen. The military corps that have taken part in these move.- merits must immediately return to their stations. I pardon all the individuals belonging to them, and all others who have erred, this momentary abandonment of their duties. (Signed) " Palace of Necessidades, Jan. 27, 1842." " THE QUEEN. Hardly had this proclamation appeared when intelli gence from Oporto set forth that the insurgents were levying troops, and that in a week the leaders would be in a condition to move upon the capital at the head of 6,000 men. Again the Ministers tendered their resigna tions, which was accepted, and a new Cabinet formed, composed of the following Members:— Duke de Palmella President of the Council Jose da Silva Carvalho Finance Baron de Campanha ..War Jervis d'Atonguia Marine Justice and Home Lepartments not yet provided for. This is not the second nor the third time that the Queen of PORTUGAL has been at the bottom of plots for overthrowing the Constitution purchased by the blood of her long-enduring subjects. She may be once too often, and should it be her fate to follow the fortunes and footsteps of her uncle MIGUEL, she will find few honest men to lament misfortuUes brought on by her own treachery. The Paris Papers have been received, together with Madrid Journals of the 30th ultimo. They are equally destitute of political news of importance. The following extracts from them are not, however, without some degree of interest : The Editor of the Mode, or the printer of the Journal, has ap pealed to the Court cf Cassation against the sentence of the Court of Assize, of the 31st of January. M. Walsh, director of the Mode, announces that he is going to bring an action against M. Proux, his printer, for refusing to print his Journal. The Revue du Comitat, a journal of Carpentras, appeared on the 30th of January, with two column blank.— Constitutionnel. PONTIFEX V. BIGNOLD, This was an action against the Secretary of the Norwich Union Insurance Company, to recover the sum of three thousand pounds, being the present valu. , of a policy of insurance on the life of the plaintiff. The action was brought on the ground that the plaintiff was induced, by deception and misrepresentation as to the state of the Company's affairs in 1830, when the policy was effectO, For the plaintiff it was proved, by Mr. Alderman FareAlVsther, Mr. Ridway, and others, that when he effected the insurance one of the officers through whom it was done, held out to them an ex pectation that he should receive a periodical bonus, whi^h was never realised. The SOLICITOR.GENERAL, for the defendant, submitted that as this was an action of fraud brought against the defendant as an individual, and not against the Company (whe might be supposed liable for the statements of their agent), there was no case whatever to make him liable for the statement of which he knew nothing, made by a person over whom he had no eontroul. The Learned Solicitor, therefore, contended that the plaintiff should be nonsuited. Mr. ERLE observed that the prospectuses Issued and signed by Mr. Bignold, were given to the plaintiff by the London agent, and contained the deceitful representation. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL replied that the declaration affirmed that plaintiff asked the defendant were the statements of the pros. pectuses true, and that the latter said they were. Now, of that there was not a tittle of proof, and yet it was sought to make him pay the damages and ccsts for an act of which he absolutely knew nothing. Mr. Sergeant CHANNEL, at great length, follwend on the same side. Mr. KELLY; in reply, contended that the defendant having, as Secretary, issued the prospectuses, and caused them to be circulated through the agents of the Company appointed by him, he was an. swerable for the statements contained in them and confirmed by his representations. The SOLICITOR.GENERAL further submitted that, as the cause of action (if any) occurred in 1831, and as the action could have been brought in that year, the Statute of Limitations was a bar to this action. His LORDSHIP said that undoubtedly as the cause of the action was complete in 1831, it had been decided repeatedly that it was no answer to the Statute of Limitations; that the misrepresentation was not discovered until within six years past, and he should there. fore have to direct the Jury to find for the defendant, unless the plaintiff wished to bring another action upon an amended decla ration, in which case it would be best for him to elect to be non suited.—After a short discussion, Mr. ERLE consented to the nonsuit, intimating that he meant to contest the judgment of his Lordship at a future time, and ac. accordingly the plaintiff was called. SECONDARIES' COURT, Feb. 8. CRI3I. CON. IN HIGH LIFE.-ASHTON V. BEDFORD. The plaintiff in this case, William Ashton, Esq., holds the lucrative office of Collector of the Revenue in India. The de fendant, William Devignes Bedford, is Lieutenant and Pay master of the 11th Hussars, and the action was brought against him for criminal conversation with the plaintiff's wife. The damages were laid at 10,0001., but judgment was allowed to go by default. Mr. Crowder and Mr. Phillimore were for the plaintiff, and Mr. Montague Smith for the defendant. _ 'I he SECONDARY having summed up the evidence, The Jury assessed the damages at 501. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. THE CASE OF THE BARON DE BEHR. Charles de Behr, described as a labourer, aged 38, was in dicted for unlawfully obtaining by false pretences two sums of 50/., the property of William Osborn Rich, with intent to defraud him thereof. Sir. Phillips and Mr. Bodkin appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Charnock defended the prisoner. Mr. PHILLIPS stated the case to the Jury, detailing the facts, and calling the following witnesses in proof : William Osborn Rich was the first witness called, and exa mined by Mr. BODKIN—Has been employed in the War office about thirty-two years. Resides at Sydenham. Was an acquaintance of Mr. and Mrs. Snow, of Portland-place, aria an old friend of the family for many years. His daughter also visited there. In the month of December last unpleasant dif ferences had arisen, which had caused the separation of Mr. and Mrs. Snow. On the 18th of that month the defendant came to the War-office. Had never seen him before. He intro duced himself as the Baron de Behr. He gave the witness a card with that name upon it. He said he came from Mrs. Snow, as her friend. He supposed that I had heard what had happened. Witness told him he had heard nothing, and was very anxious to hear. He then said there were letters in Portland-place which Mrs. Snow wished destroyed. He said he could obtain those letters through the housekeeper, whom he had seen, if she was bribed. She was to be bribed by either 3001. or 5001. Could not exactly say which sum he mentioned. Witness said he would have nothing to do with the letters. He then said it would be very unkind to her, as she wished par ticularly to get them, and as she had no money, the witness must assist her. He asked witness if he could not advance 500/. Witness said, Decidedly net—he had not got it. He then said 250/. Witness said he had it not. He then said, What can you advance? Witness said perhaps he could find 501. He (the prisoner) said he had advanced all he had, viz., 1301. Witness gave the prisoner five 101. notes, and he then left, saying he would ge immediately to the house. Witness took no security or acknowledgment whatever. The ltith December was Saturday, and the prisoner came to witness on the following Monday at the War-office. He said the housekeeper was not satisfied, and must have more. Witness told him he had no more. Prisoner said the witness must find 50/. to save his credit; and after some hesitation witness gave him 501. He said when he received it, striking his breast, " You may trust a nobleman and a man of honour." Witness saw the'prisoner on the 30th of December, when he came again to the War-office. He then said that he had again come about Mrs. Snow, that she was distressed for money, and he (the witness) was to advance her some for her own private use. Wit ness told him he had taken all he had. He then proposed drawing a bill of exchange for 1601., and the witness declined to do it, as he did not understand bill transactions. He even tually, however, persuaded the witness to accept a bill of 1601. The prisoner brought a stamp. Witness signed the bill, and a person called upon him afterwards, and asked if that was his (witness's) signature; and the witness understood that the inquiry was made for the purpose of discounting the bill. The prisoner had told him that some one would call upon him respecting the bill. The bill was drawn at three months, payable at Drummond's at the order of the prisoner, the drawer. The witness was induced to put his name to the bill on account of the representation of the prisoner that Mrs. Snow was in distress, and wished the money for her private use. The prisoner at this time said, "Make your mind easy, I shall be receiving money in Jan., and I will give you an under taking to repay you the 160/. He undertook to pay the witness between the 6th and 10th January. The undertaking was here read, and was signed "De Behr." Witness addressed a letter to the prisoner, calling on the prisoner to keep his promise as a man of honour and a nobleman, which he had represented himself to be, and stating that the money was a large sum to him (the witness), although it was a trifle to the prisoner, who could command so many thousands. In a postscript the latter stated the prisoner had obtained I 6s. from his (witness's ) son. This letter was written in consequence of the prisoner having promised to call and pay the amount of the bill. A few days afterwards witness saw the partner of Mr. Snow. In consequence of a conversation, the witness entertained suspi cions of the prisoner. Cross-examined by Mr. CIiARNOCK—Has been promoted from time to time in the War-office. Mrs. Snow has been married about ten years. Became acquainted with Mrs. Snow since her marriage, and had often corresponded with her. Did not know when the separation between Mr. and Mrs. Srmw took place, but Mrs. Snow was at present living with her . _ _ father. Witness contrived to correspond with Mrs. Snow up to December last. He ceased to correspond with Mrs. Snow at her desire. His letters at times were fre quent. Sismetimes they were ten a month ; sometimes not more than one. After the 18th December, witness went to Long's ,Hotel with the prisoner, he having invited the witness to dinner. This was after the second 501. transaction. At that dinner Mrs. Snow was the subject of conversation. That was the express object of the dinner. Did not on that occasion express great anxiety about the letters he had addressed to Mrs. Snow. Said to the prisoner, So far as I am concetned I don't 'care that (snapping his fingers) far the letters. Did not say for the world he would not have the letters fall into the hands of Mr. Snow. No person was present at the dinner but themselves. The prisoner came to witness's house at Sydenham, on the 2d January. He came without invitation. He (lined with witness on that occa- sion. The members of his family, consisting of two daughters and a son, were present.- The prisoner had previously intro duced himself to them. The prisoner left about three or four. Mrs. Snow was the subject of conversation on that occasion. Never desired the prisoner to wait upon Mrs. Snow ; but he told witness that he was in the habit of seeing Mrs. Snow fre quently. Has heard his son say that he has ridden out with the prisoner. The RECORDER said he thought the Learned Counsel was only establishing the case for the prosecution, by proving this great confidence. Re-examined by Mr. BODICIN—Had the misfortune to lose a daughter some time ago, and on that occasion Mrs. Snow was very attentive to her, and attended her up to her death. Elizabeth Dickson was then called, and examined by Mr. Pnimars—Was in January last housekeeper to Air. and b ris r h o e . nrer to Mr. marryand Mrs. Mrs. Snow, who lived at 72, Portland-place. The establish continuedhto i m ment was broken up.

The RECORDER said he might be a secretary for foreign affairs without being the Secret ar y f or F ore i gn Affairs. The prisoner asked, when Mr. Snow returned, why Mrs. Snow did not return. Did not t e ll t h e pr i soner of the unhappy. differences existing between Mr. an d M rs. Snow. In the course of their conversation, the name of Mr. Rich was men tioned. Never instructed the prisoner to g e t money to bribe her, to give up the letters of Mr. Rich to Mrs. Snow. Never asked him for money . for the purpose of giving up any l etters o f any kind. Never, in point of fact, received 501. on condition that she gave up any letter of Mr. Rich's or anybody's else. Had never had any conversation with him respecting any let.. ters whatever, and therefore was never dissatisfied with any amount of money tendered to her by the prisoner. Had letters in her possession of Mrs. Snow's, but the prisoner had no op.. portunity of knowing that fact, nor was her sister aware of it. Georgiana Snow, who was led into Court by the Reverend Ordinary of New gate, ' •ate, was then called. She was a beauti ful and elegant woman, apparently about 30 years of age.

Never authorised or requested him to make application to Mr. Rich to obtain any letters. nor for any purpose whatever. Never sent him to Mr. Rich as her friend. Cross-examined by Mr. Cir.tanocx—Had been in Paris about seven years ago with her father. Was there two months. She was educated abroad. When in Paris she did not go much into society. She remained in. Paris about a fortnight after her husband left. She resided at an hotel in the Rue Rivoli. Will swear she has never seen the prisoner in Paris ::,:- SURREY SESSIONS William Steming and Harriet Goddard were indicted for stealing a quantity of sheeting, and other articles, the property of George Pinkard. It appeared from the evidence of the witnesses for the prosecution, that on the night of 21st of December the premises of Pinkard, who resides at Godalmin,,o- was broken into, and the property named in the indictment stolen from them. On the night upon which the robbery was committed the male pris.ner was seen within two miles and a half of the prosecutor's house, and the stolen property was sub sequostly found pledged at Guildford with a pawnbroker, whose shopman identified Steming as the man who de posited it. The female prisoner, with whose mother Steming resided, was taken into custody by a policeman, who found some of the stolen articles in his bundle. In defence Steming said he found the Property concealed in a copse near his own residence, and gave a portion of it to the female to get washed. The Learned Counsel for Goddard contended that the indictment as regarded her must fall to the ground, be cause she was accused of breaking and entering the pro secutor's house, whereas the utmost that the evidence warranted was a receiving with a guilty knowledge. The Jury, after a short consultation, returned a ver dict of Guilty against Steming, and acquitted the fe male prisoner, against whom a fresh indictment was preferred, charging her with being possessed of the pro perty knowing it to have been stolen. The Learned Counsel raised an objection to the in dictment, as the word " feloniously" bad been omitted before the word " stolen," which objection was admitted, and the prisoner was then discharged.— Steming was sentenced to seven years transportation. Charles Luckey was indicted for stealing some bread, cheese, and meat, the property of Henry Wistcar, Esq., a Magistrate residing at Walton-upon-Thames, who sat amongst the peesiding Magistrates in this Court during the day. The prosecutor's cook deposed that the prisoner came to beg at the door, but she turned him away, and he staid lingering about the larder for sonic time, until the other servants followed him and made him quit the premises. On the night of that day the larder was broken open, and she entertained no doubt that the prisoner at the bar was the person who came to beg at the house. — Several other witnesses having proved the fact of the prisoner having offered some bread and cheese for sale about the time the robbery was committed, the Jury re turned a verdict of Guilty, and he was sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment, with hard labour.

MELANCHOLY INSTANCE OF SUDDEN DEATH.—On Monday, Mr. l'ayne held an inquest at the Crown, Blackfriar's-road, on the body of Mrs. H. E. Cheshire, aged 25. From the evidence of deceased's husband and other witnesses, it appeared that for a long time she had been sub ject to spasmodic pains in the stomach. A sojourn at Mar gate last summer relieved her, but in October last, in conse quence of ill-success in trade on the part of her husband. her old malady returned in an aggravated form. On Thurs day last she was out in the Parks, to see the Royal proces sion proceed to Parliament, and next morning, after break fast, she complained of headache. While so complaining, a young daughter of hers fell into the coal-cellar, and the child's screams at first frightened deceased. Her counte nance changed its hue, and shortly afterwards she said she was in great agony, and that the pains she felt were similst to those produced by parturition. She was not, however, in a state of pregnancy. Fomentations, mustard-plasters, leeches, and medicine prescribed by a surgeon, were not suc cessful, and she died shortly after four o'clock, P. M., on Friday. Mr. Hussey, a surgeon, who was called in, considered her case a dangerous one from the first, and believed that her complaint was disetve of the liver, and probably death was the result of the bursting of an abscess in that organ, caused by alarm at her child's screams. Verdict—" Natural death." AWFUL LOSS OF LIFE AND PROPERTY.-- Letters have just been received by Mr. West, the Secretary of the Shipwrecked Fishermen and Mariners' Benevolent Society, giving information upon a most melancholy loss of life at Clifden in Gal. way, and of a great destruction of property of a large body of fisher. men at Dingle, in Kerry, both occasioned by the tremendous storm of the 26th ultimo. The following extracts have been handed to us by the gentleman to whom the communications were addressed : "The enclosed account of five persons lost on the 26th ult. reached me this day; the widows are all poor, one of them is really destitute. About two. and-twenty individuals were lost (all fishermen) on the morning referred to, much the greater part of whom have left fa. milies. All the accounts that reach me I shall forward without delay. On Tuesday week we were visited by the most awful storm that was ever remembered in this country, and almost all ' the fishing boats were driven from their moorings and damaged, and seven were entirely lost; in every boat there were eight men, who have a share in the fishing, and so many families are consequently left quite destitute by the loss of their boat, as they would not be able to replace them. One poor man lying ill with the measles, and °Lie child just dead! when the roof was blown off his wretched cabin, and his boat lost; they are now without food, fire, or means of procuring it, and in a roofless house.

LONDON! WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1842, The meeting of the Anti-Corn-law Conference yester day was extremely gratifying. When so many earnest and resolute men demand the total repeal of the Corn laws on principles of justice, and declare that they will be contented with nothing less, we cannot resist the con clusion that they must attain their object. Though poli ticians may sneer at them, their language goes direct to the heart, and kindles in their favour all the best feel ings of human nature. They must triumph, and will teach statesmen that their craft, powerful though it be on ordinary occasions, is feeble and powerless when op posed to the voice of truth demanding justice. For a clear exposition of the manner in which the Corn-laws violate the right of property, and come,. therefore, like any other species of theft, within the domain of morals, we refer to . the excellent speech of Mr. BRIGHT, of Rochdale. But we cannot enter into discussion ; we can only earnestly recommend the whole proceedings to the serious consideration of statesmen of all parties. It is some time since we expressed our surprise at the appointment of Sir THOMAS COCHRANE, and ventured to surmise that such appointment was given to him as a re ward for the plucking he received at Ipswich. We have now been informed on good authority that a Speaker's war rant has been taken out to compel his appearance before the Ipswich Committee, and produce the correspondence with the Tory party relating to the sum of money he was required to post before he could be permitted to be come a candidate for the second time. In 1835 the Tories at Ipswich endeavoured to avoid the exposure of their bribery and corruption by sending witnesses out of the country. This they found not only useless, but very expensive. The Continent of Europe was not a sufficient distance. China may suc ceed better ; and their pockets will be saved at the ex pense of the country. - Sir THOS. COCHRANE has himself published a portion of the correspondence ; it cannot therefore be alleged that it does not exist. Will Sir R. PEEL, who affected such indignation at the practices of bribery, of corruption, be a party, however indirectly, to prevent its exposure? Sir THOS. COCHRANE was required to put down a certain sum. lie offered 1,0001. This was declined, as being inadequate. Mr. HARRIS was applied to. lie acqui esced, it is to be presumed, in the terms required. Is it not of the utmost importance to know what those terms were ? By the arrival of the Lisbon Mail of the 31st of January we learn that another attempt has been made to substitute the Charter for the Constitution at Oporto' the failure of which has been followed by a change of the Cabinet. On the 27th ult. a telegraphic despatch from Oporto, informed the authorities of Lisbon that the municipality of that town, with CosTA CABRAL at its head, and with the entire appro bation of the garrison, had proclaimed the Charter and appointed a Provisional Government, of which the aforesaid CosTA CABRAL was President. The Ministers were dreadfully alarmed, or affected to be, and went in a body to the Queen. No heroine of romance could have heard the news with greater indifference than her Most Faithful MAJESTY. Deprecating all exaggeration on the subject, she intimated that a Ministerial remonstrance would bring the disaffected to a proper sense of their duty. Whether the Ministers were aware that the QUEEN and the Court were at the bottom of the Chartist move— ment we cannot tell—most probably they did — but certain it is that they became terrified at the anti- Chartist outcry, raised in every quarter of the capital. ' They, therefore, told the QUEEN that they must either resign and leave her to the chapter of accidents, or her MAJESTY must sign a proclamation, denouncing as re- THE IVORY MODEL OF THE TAGE MUHAL, or Crown of Edifices, at AGRA, in the East Indies. " There is at present an Exhibition at 209, Regent-street, as elaborate a Model as was ever perhaps presented to pub lic view. It is a copy, in ' ivory, of the celebrated Tage Muhal, one of the most remarkable edifices in modern Agra, erected in 1650 by Khan Shah Jehan, the fifth Great Mogul, as the cemetery of his favourite wife, Sultana Mehd Aliya. This mausoleum is built entirely of white marble, and some _des may be framed of its splendour, when it is stated to have cost in its erection 60 lacy of rupees, or 756000/ The Model occupies a space of nine square feet, and its height is six feet. It is the work of Indian artists, and while in point of extent it is unmatchable, it is also one of the finest specimens of that minuteness of detail and delicate manipulation for which Indian ivory working is so noted. The amount of labour bestowed on this model must have been immense. It is not ' the hasty pro duct of a day,' but the result of many years' patient applica tion.

Indian Govern ment, giving an account of Major-General Sir Robert Sale's expe. dition in Affghanistan, will be found in The Sun of this day. The details are too numerous and interesting to admit of the abridg ment necessary for their appearance here. On the 27th ult. an insurrection broke out at Oporto for abo. lishing the Portuguese Constitution and proclaiming the Charter. The Queen and the Court were at the bottom of it, but it failed owing to the attachment of the people to liberty. The Queen was compelled to disavow all knowledge of the plot of the conspirators, and to ehange the Cabinet. Some day or other the machinations of this faithless woman will terminate in the loss of a Croon which she is unworthy to wear. The war against the Press rages fiercely in Paris. The printer of the Quotidienne was summoned before the civil tribunaLof the department of the Seine by the editor of that paper, for publishing in the leading columns a blank, rather than hazard a prosecution by the insertion of articles displeasing to the Court of Peers. The Pre sidet,t of the Court dismissed the case, thus sanctioning the ruin of the paper, and acknowledging in the printer a right of censorship. The Mode, a Paris Journal of Sunday, also appears with two blank columns, the printer having refused to insert ttie leaders. The Editor, Count Walsh, a distinguished Carlist, threatens the printer with a prosecution before the Court of Cassation. L 131.J.0 OPXI%.IIOIV. The Morning Post anticipates that there will be four grand di. visions of parties on the question of the Corn.laws in the House of Commons, and that the " absolute free-trade men will be the loud. est of any," assuming that all the present distress in the manufac turing districts is owing to the Corn.laws, The Times, alluding to a rumour that there is to be a new.me= thod of emigration upon an extended scale at the public expense, and under the immediate responsibility of Government, observes— " Nothing but our confidence in Sir Robert Peel's Government, and our assurance that, in any plan which they might adopt, the benefit of emigrants would be kept in view as the first object, could have led us to view such a proposition without jealousy and alarm." The Chronicle says, in reference to the approaching momentous discussion,, " The very fact that Government is about to .deal with the Corn.laws--that same Government which, as an Opposition, re fused all inquiry ;—this alone amounts to a concession ,of their mischievous operation on the condition of the country." The Advertiser has a leading article on the subject of the recent news from the East, wherein our Contemporaiy remarks that the position of our interests at this moment tr. the East, is such as to imperatively demand the attention of the whole English people, and the most energetic adoption of measures calculated "to arrest the footsteps of perhaps the most giant source of calamity that may ever have overtaken the question of British sovereignty in the East " P AUL Lord Brougham, last night, presented the petition of the Eclin. burgh Conference against the Corn.laws, and expressed his opinion that Corn.law repeal was not a moral or a religious question, but a political question. The Marquis of Lansdowne on presenting a petition from the woollen manufacturers of Somersetshire and Wiltshire against the Corn-laws, drew their Lordships' attention to the disastrous state of the woollen manufacture, both in the North and West of Eng. land. Lord Ashburton was eloquent on the impropriety of alter. ing laws whenever the people were distressed, and expressed an opinion that the woollen manufacture was migrating from the west to the north of England. After a brief discussion, the peti. Lion was laid on the table. Lord Clifford postponed a motion of'which he had given notice concerning the Catholic clergy and the Governor of Madras till after Easter, but in doing so made several observations on the case. Their Lordships adjourned before Seven o'Clock till Thursday. In the Commons a great number of petitions were presented for the repeal of the Corn.laws. Lord Eliot, in reply to a question, stated that Government would give no pecuniary assistance towards making railways in Ireland, but it would encourage private enterprise to the utmost of its power. In reply to Lord Palmerston, Slr Robert Peel said that the treaty for the suppression of the slave trade was not materially altered from the time at which it was originally agreed to, till it was signed, and that the . ratifications were not to be exchanged till the 20th inst. Sir James Graham informed Lord Mahon that the number of convicts kept at home was diminishing ; that 1,000 had been sent to work at the fortress of Gibraltar; and that 1,000 or 1,500 more would be sent away this year. Sir R. Peel could give no information about Cabool, when asked, having just received his despatches. Lord Stanley obtained leave to bring in a Bill to appoint three Bishops and three Archdeacons to the West India islands, instead of one Bishop and two Archdeacons. Mr. Labouchere seconded the motion, it being one of those questions on which both parties agree. No opposition whatever was made. The new arrangement will entail no additional expense on the country. In a Committee of the whole House Mr. Gladstone explained the new commercial legislation which he proposes for our colonial trade. It is somewhat similar to the Bill introduced last year by Mr. Labouchere. We shall print Mr. Gladstone's resolutions, and will not, therefore, now ruts the risk of misdescribing them. Mr. cpaimer, a Tory, expressed hostility to the measure. Lord J. Russell defended Mr. Gladstone from his own friends, on the ground that the plan was like that introduced by Mr. La. bouchere. Mr. Wakley mocked at the Tories for introducing the Bill of the Wh.gs. Sir Robert Peel said he had supported the measure of the last Government, and recommended the present measure to the favour. able consideration of the House. Mr. Labouchere approved of the plan, The resolutions will be discussed again on the 22d instant. Mr. Gladstone next moved for leave to bring in a Bill for the better regulation of railways. After a short debate, leave was given. Mr. Wallace moved an address to her Majesty, for an inquiry into the distress at Paisley, which the Hon. Member justly de scribed as very great, 17,500 persons receiving relief. . - Sir James Graham admitted the distress, and praised the good conduct of the people, who had suffered with such exemplary patience and fortitt.de ; but the Government had already received information of their condition from authentic sources, and he therefore opposed the motion. Sir Robert Peel, after several other Members had spoken, re commended Mr. Wallace to withdraw his motion, and not force Members to vote against it. Mr. Wallace consented, and withdrew his motion. The debate, however, is interesting, and worthy of being read. _ _ 141 r. Godson obtained leave to bring in a Bill to sccure the pro perty in copyrights. The Attorney-General obtained lease to bring in a Bill to amend the Municipal Act. On the motion for granting a supply to her Majesty, Mr. Wakley entered his protest against the manner in which the Queen's Speech had been framed in the present and former Sessions, and avowed his intention to move amendments in future, should the Speeches nut be different. The House adjourned at Half.past Nine. :62* —T 47. A. u —C 0 LVIIITERCE. The continued delay of the Spanish anthorities to pay the instal. ments due to the officers of theßritish Auxiliary Legion, has caused them to address a letter to the Earl of Aberdeen on the subject, who has made fresh application to General Sancho. COMMERCIAL lELEVORII2. The great London Conference Tf the NationarAnti-Corn.law League, which opened yesterday, convenes no less than 1,000 Deputies. who are literally loaded with petitions for the total and immediate repeal of the Corn.laws, The ladies' memorial alone for the district of West Hackney and Stoke Newington, has already received no less than 2,812 signatures. Mr. Sidney Smith announced on Monday at the meeting of the Delegates from the London Auxiliary Anti.Corn.law Associations, that petitions against the Corn.laws, with 74,000 signatures, would Lie ready yesterday for presentation in the House of Commons. ELECTIONEERING. The nomination for the Taunton election is fixed for today and the polling for to-morrow. The nomination fur the Leominster election took place yesterday, as also that fir Liverpool, The nomination for the Western Division of Cornwall takes on Wednesday, the 16th inst. ; and in the event of an opposition to Sir Charles Lyman, the polling will ensue on the following Monday and Tuesday. ECCLESIASTICAL. The new church now erecting on Brixtos.hill, in the parish of Streatham, has no less a display of Pop.sh emblems than four large gilt crosses on the exterior, besides another one of brickwork. The Rev. S. Rowe, Vicnr of Crediton, is expected to be the successor of the Rev. Dr. Colridge as Bishop of Barbadoes. NAVAL AND MILITARY. The Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty have ordered that, in future, all steam.vessels built for ber Majesty's navy, are to be fitted with Captain Smith's invention of boats placed above the paddle.wheels.
